Volume 3 Life History Chapter 42 Take the initiative to ask for help

The five princes were silent for a moment, and the king of Thailand stood up and said, "Big brother, leave the matter of the envoy to Daming to me." ”

King Nanmian said: "No, sixth brother, you have no experience in envoys, and you can't hold your breath and get angry easily, so this matter should not be handed over to you." ”

King Ping said, "Big brother, leave it to me." ”

King Nanmian said: "Third brother, you are calm and steady, you are very suitable for this errand, but ......" He glanced at a woman with a big belly on the table next to him, "Princess Ping, she is about to give birth, and the eldest brother is not worried about letting you go far away." "Back then, the lord of Yuehua never looked back, so he always had an indelible shadow in his heart.

Bei Juese, who had been listening, interjected: "Father, it's better to let your son envoy Daming." ”

"You?" Not only King Nanmian, but the other five uncles also swept their eyes together.

Although everyone's glances made Bei Juese feel a little uncomfortable, he still continued: "Yes. Erchen has been living in Daming and is very familiar with the environment of Daming; Moreover, Erchen had worked as an errand in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, and he also had a certain understanding of the personnel in the palace. It is most appropriate for me to send Da Ming! ”

Hearing him say this, King Nanmian and several princes looked at each other a few times, and King Shun first said with a smile: "Listening to my nephew say this, it is indeed the most suitable for him to go to Daming." ”

"But ......" King Nanmian still hesitated.

"Father, let me go!" Bei Juese looked at him with a determined expression on his face, "Erchen will definitely try his best to get things done!" ”

King Nanmian was worried, and said, "This matter, King Rong will think about it carefully." ”

The day after Bei Juese automatically asked Ying to send tribute to the Ming Dynasty, the king of Nanmian specially raised the matter at the court meeting and discussed it with the five uncles and civil and military officials. As a northern beauty that has an important relationship with this matter, he also stood in the hall of the court meeting at the behest of King Nanmian.

After King Nanmian brought up the matter, except for the five princes, the other officials invariably glanced at the north a few times, and then each turned his head to look at the princes, waiting for them to express their opinions first.

After a while, after several princes stepped forward one by one to express their opinions to King Nanmian, the atmosphere of the scene immediately changed, everyone seemed to be arguing about something, and many officials not only became excited, but also raised their voices a lot.

As soon as everyone was excited, not only did they speak a lot more loudly, but they also spoke a lot faster. Bei Juese didn't understand what everyone was saying at all, but fortunately, he brought the translator Chen Yu over today, and Chen Yu, who was standing behind him, whispered for him to grasp the key points and explain briefly when everyone was arguing.

It turned out that everyone was arguing about whether to send the prince of Nanmian to envoy Daming.

King Shun and King He advocated that the crown prince should send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, they believed that the prince was the future monarch of the Nanmian Kingdom, and the crown prince, who was second only to the king in the Nanmian Kingdom, would send tribute to the Ming Dynasty, so as to express the highest sincerity of the Nanmian Kingdom to the Ming Emperor, so that the Ming Emperor would not count the problem of insufficient tribute and delay in paying tribute this year.

The king of Ping and the king of Thailand opposed the crown prince's envoy to the Ming Dynasty. The reason is that the road to Daming is long, and there will be some barren mountains and mountains on the way, where there are many fierce bandits or bandits who kill people and oversell goods. And the crown prince is not only the future king, but also the only son of the king, and such an important crown prince cannot afford to make any mistakes. Moreover, in addition to the crown prince, there are other people in the Nanmian Kingdom who are capable of the important task of giving birth to the Ming Dynasty.

And King Chang, who is like a sick king, maintains the golden mean, neither in favor nor against.

Because there were two princes who were in favor of and disapproving of the prince's envoy to the Ming Dynasty, the officials in the court, except for the Minister of Culture Ruan Jinglun and the military general Meng Tianming, the others were divided into two factions to stand in the camp of favor and opposition. The two completely different opinions were at loggerheads, and everyone tried to speak from their own standpoint, but after a long time of argument to no avail.

King Nanmian, who was sitting on the throne, did not speak, but listened to the argument of the group of people below.

After a long period of disturbance, the officials, who were at first able to maintain their manners and politely debate in words, gradually blushed and blushed. They began to blow their beards and stare at each other regardless of their manners, roll up their sleeves and point at each other and shout and curse, scolding and scolding, and a few of them couldn't help but step forward and push the person who was arguing with them.

As soon as someone started to do it, the scene became chaotic. When the chaos had a further development trend, the martial arts general Meng Tianming, who had been watching from the sidelines, made a decisive move, and he stepped into the crowd that began to be chaotic, and the people who were twisted together with his hands were neatly separated one by one.

The chaos was immediately brought under control. The thin Minister of Literature, Nguyen Jing Lun, stood up and said loudly: "How can you be so rude in front of the King and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? His voice is much more imposing than his appearance, and the volume is not loud, but it makes people hear a feeling of not being angry but threatening.

Minister Wen and General Wu joined forces, and the other officials did not dare to make another mistake. Although they were still excited, they still bowed their heads and stood back in their original positions, knelt down and shouted in unison: "Ministers are rude, please forgive the king." ”

King Nanmian ignored them, but turned to Minister Wen and General Wu, and asked: "Regarding the matter of the crown prince automatically asking Ying to envoy Daming, I wonder if the two Qing families have any high opinions?" ”

Meng Tianming's face changed. Obviously, this kind of thinking problem is not something that a person like him is good at dealing with. He pretended not to see the gaze of King Nanmian sweeping towards him, and turned his head to look at his father-in-law, Ruan Jinglun.

Ruan Jinglun raised his eyes to Shang Nanmian's inquiring gaze calmly, bent down and saluted, smiled calmly, and said, "Your Majesty, everyone is fighting over this issue, and no one can convince anyone. If we continue to argue, there may not be results, so let's listen to His Royal Highness the Prince's opinion. Or, after listening to His Royal Highness the Prince's opinion, everyone can make a final decision. ”

Ruan Jinglun, the old fox, easily avoided this controversial issue with the skill of four or two thousand catties, and pushed the ball to Bei Juese's body logically.

As soon as his words came out, a group of officials who were kneeling on the ground with their heads bowed all raised their eyes to peek at Bei Juese.

Unexpectedly, he was suddenly pushed by Ruan Jinglun to the tip of the knife, and Bei Jue was stunned. If Ruan Tianjing was talking about Nanmian just now, he could still say that he didn't understand it and push it, but as soon as Ruan Jinglun opened his mouth just now, he said the Daming dialect with a straight and round tone, and he couldn't pretend to be confused. King Nanmian, Meng Tianming, Ruan Jinglun, the five princes, and all the officials have already gathered their eyes on themselves, if they don't express their opinions, they will definitely be despised by everyone, right?
