Xun Lingjun is not very clear about this matter, and he also thinks that it is better to talk about it in private, but for such a trivial matter, he made a trial in the court, and no one looked good, which damaged the face of the two countries.

Shang Shuling saw that Xun Lingjun had signs of coming forward to stop him, his careful thoughts about Xiao Tianyu were clear, Xiao Tianyu was still stubborn, if the things he decided didn't do, then he would have to go crazy, he was good friends with Xun Lingjun, and he didn't want Xun Lingjun to hit the muzzle, so he explained to Xun Lingjun in a low voice: "Prime Minister, Your Majesty didn't want to marry that Zhou Jingrui, so he deliberately made things like this, but if you want me to see it, that Zhou Jingrui shouldn't be a good person, it is estimated that he is flying in the capital, and he happened to be seen by His Majesty's eyeliner and reported." , Your Majesty dislikes it even more. ”

Xun Lingjun thought about it for a while, and felt that Shang Shuling was quite reasonable, Xiao Tianyu was very resistant to the harem, if there was someone who liked to make trouble, wouldn't Xiao Tianyu hate women even more, or let Xiao Tianyu make a fuss.

Xun Lingjun echoed in a low voice: "That's right, if there is another one in the harem like the abolished Concubine Hui, there will be no peaceful days in the harem, and Your Majesty will be distracted." Let's let Your Majesty make trouble! ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department walked out and made a small suggestion to Xiao Tianyu: "Your Majesty, you should find someone to pass the vendor over that day to ask about the situation of the day, and if the eldest prince and Shen Weiwei insist on their own words, it is not easy to judge whether it is true or false." ”

Xiao Tianyu approved, "Yes, you go and bring people." ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department received the order, and went down to send someone to find the vendor.

Shen Xingzhou arched his hand and said: "Great Prince, what happened that day, you know it in your heart, why do you have to do useless struggles?" ”

Zhou Zizhen is a dead duck with a hard mouth, and he refuses to admit it, "My sister didn't do anything, she was wronged, and the vendor is the party, he will know what to do." ”

Shen Xingzhou smiled slightly, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I forgot to tell you, that vendor selling sugar gourds is the person who is my secret guard, and it is too late for you to admit your mistake now." ”

Zhou Zizhen froze, thinking: That hawker is actually their person, it's really careless, how can this be good, that hawker will definitely stand on their side, coercion and temptation are not used at all, this is troublesome.

The speed of the criminal department Shangshu was very fast, and it didn't take more than an hour to bring people over.

Xiao Tianyu sat on it just now, and he couldn't hear the last sentence Shen Xingzhou said, but after staying with him for a long time, he could roughly guess what he was saying.

Xiao Tianyu asked evilly, "Great Prince, do you want to continue?" Once you start, you can't stop. ”

Just when Zhou Zi really wanted to say that it was wrong.

Xiao Tianyu continued: "Then your sister will kneel down and apologize to Shen Xingzhou, of course, you can also kneel down and apologize for your sister." ”

Zhou Zizhen gritted his teeth, if he was given a sword, he would really dare to kill the person sitting at the top, he had suffered this kind of humiliation since he was a child, it was too much!

Shang Shuling shook his head: "Your Majesty is a bit excessive. ”

Xun Lingjun glanced at him and whispered, "Then why didn't you go to organize Your Majesty just now?" There is no turning back arrow from the bow, today it is up to Your Majesty, Your Majesty is happy, anyway, Weiguo is just a small country, the territory is dozens of times smaller than us, most of the people are uncivilized, weapons and equipment are also backward, we will not suffer a loss in the fight, if the country is defeated by then, we can just make some excessive demands. ”

Shang Shuling gave a thumbs up, "High, or the prime minister is smart." ”

Xiao Tianyu didn't urge Zhou Zizhen either, the hawker also came, and the people were also on her side, the fact was also on her side, and this was also her territory, so she didn't believe that Zhou Zizhen could make any waves here.

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department didn't know what was wrong, and urged: "Your Majesty, the hawker has been brought and can start." ”

Zhou Zizhen was very unwilling, but he had no choice but to bow his head, for the sake of his country, he couldn't make friends with the Wind Country, Xiao Tianyu's annexation of the Wind Country was only a matter of time, if he was presumptuous, it would be an excellent excuse for the Wind Country to send troops for free, and his own country would become unjustifiable.

"Your Majesty, this matter is wrong between me and my sister, and I shouldn't have been lucky just now, trying to deceive the Holy Hearing." Zhou Zizhen lowered his noble head and confessed his mistake to Xiao Tianyu.

Xiao Tianyu didn't plan to let him go so easily, "If you do something wrong, you have to be responsible for your own actions." You slandered Shen Xingzhou, shouldn't you apologize? Because of your luck, a hawker lost half an hour of money-making time, shouldn't you compensate? Shouldn't you be legally responsible for picking quarrels and provoking trouble on the street with your sister? I remember very well that when you first arrived in the capital, the Ministry of Rites told you to abide by the laws of my Fengguo, and if you violated it, but you were guilty of the same crime as the common people, you also agreed at that time, right? ”

Zhou Zizhen's eyes sharpened, "I can apologize to the Shen guards, as for kneeling, I will kneel down to a guard with a dignified prince, is this the etiquette of your country?" If the peddler's time is wasted, I will compensate him and not let him run and lie down in vain; If His Majesty wants to judge this matter in accordance with the law, then according to the law, no one is allowed to interfere in the judgment at will, and the case can only be handled by the Secretary of the Criminal Department. ”

Xiao Tianyu was a little surprised that Zhou Zi really fought back, and said unhurriedly: "If I remember correctly, the governance of the country is the equality of all beings, what's the matter?" Ran to the country of wind, and began to guard the prince? In fact, both the Wind Country and the Patriotic State have hierarchical systems, but the Patriotic Kingdom has a hierarchy on the one hand, but on the other hand, it shouts that all beings are equal, which is really ridiculous. I admit that there is a hierarchy in the country of wind, and I am now moving in the direction of equality, at least before the law, everyone is equal. As for the trial of the case in the court, you can explain it. ”

The secretary of the Criminal Department came out and saluted Xiao Tianyu and Zhou Zizhen, and then explained: "Your Royal Highness, the laws of the Wind Country are formulated and implemented by the Criminal Department, and the person in charge is the supreme person below. Then the question is, if you are shielding your family below, and others are afraid of the power below and dare not speak out, what should you do? As a result, the Criminal Department promulgated a law, that is, His Majesty has the right to try cases that the Criminal Department has no authority or cannot hear. And what happened to His Royal Highness and Shen Guards today not only involves the criminal law, but also involves the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and it involves everyone, and the criminal department cannot try it. ”

Xiao Tianyu didn't force Zhou Zizhen to kneel, "In this way, you apologize to Shen Xingzhou, compensate the hawker, and bring your sister back, and the matter is over." If you have an opinion, I don't mind talking to your father in person. ”

Xiao Tianyu hinted at it obviously, idiots can hear the meaning, the word "personally", doesn't he just want to come to the city?

Zhou Zizhen gave a big salute to Shen Xingzhou, "Guard Shen, it was me and my sister who collided with you, I feel very sorry, and I ask for your forgiveness." ”

Shen Xingzhou looked at Xiao Tianyu, and after getting a positive answer, he stepped forward to help Zhou Zizhen up, and didn't even say a word about the scene, which made Zhou Zizhen feel very embarrassed.

Xun Lingjun came out to play a round, "Your Majesty, since the misunderstanding has been resolved, and it is still early, it is better to discuss the treaty of the alliance between the two countries, what does Your Majesty think?" ”

"Yes, I don't have a problem."

Zhou Zizhen said: "It just so happens that I also have this idea. ”

Xiao Tianyu gave Xun Lingjun a look, Xun Lingjun understood, and turned to face Zhou Zizhen.

"Your Highness, if the country becomes a vassal state of our Wind Country, we need to pay a tribute of 50,000 horses, 80,000 taels of gold and 100,000 taels of silver every year, so that our Wind Country will definitely defend the peace of the country." Xun Lingjun opened the price.

The so-called negotiation is actually similar to doing business, which is nothing more than asking for a price and paying back the money on the ground. As for the vassals! In fact, it is to spend money to buy peace, which is the same as the relationship between Nanbang and Eagle Sauce today. (If you don't understand this stalk, just search for "those things that year of the rabbit", it's super good-looking, and I swiped it N times)

Zhou Zizhen began to sell miserably, "The territory of my country is only a few tenths of the country of wind, not as rich as the country of wind, almost half of the territory is pasture, and there are indeed more horses produced every year, but even if they are all given to Your Majesty, there are not as many as 50,000 horses, and the taxes collected by my country every year are not so much money, so I really can't get it." ”

Xun Lingjun would not be stupid enough to lower the price by himself, and threw the question back to Zhou Zizhen, "Then what figure does Your Highness think is appropriate?" ”

Zhou Zizhen kept the price very low: "I think it is enough to pay a tribute of 15,000 horses and 50,000 taels of silver every year." ”

Xiao Tianyu sneered: "It seems that the eldest prince looks down on us, fifteen thousand horses, fifty thousand taels of silver, and send beggars?" No, it's not even as good as a beggar. The eldest prince went back to the post station first to rest, Shen Xingzhou, and sent the eldest prince to me. ”

"The Great Prince, please." Shen Xingzhou said very "politely".

Before Zhou Zizhen could figure out what he had done wrong, he was invited out again.

"Your Majesty's move is really high, and I will draw directly from the bottom of the kettle, I'm afraid that next time I will give a figure close to his bottom line." Xun Lingjun appreciated.

Xiao Tianyu black line, thinking: I just don't want to listen to Zhou Zizhen's speech, when I read the information before, I thought Zhou Zizhen was a good person, but now it seems that it is exaggerated.

"If it's okay, that's it for today." Xiao Tianyu glanced at the ministers below.

"Minister, there is a book." Xun Lingjun bowed and said.

Xiao Tianyu's left eyelid jumped, and he felt that he was going to be unlucky, "If it is about the concubine, the prime minister doesn't need to say much, Zhou Jingrui has a bad character, and please don't hurt the prime minister." ”

Xun Lingjun was speechless, "Your Majesty, what the minister said is not a matter of letting Your Majesty take a concubine, Your Majesty should not panic, Your Majesty is an adult, you understand the truth, the minister should persuade you, and please Your Majesty not be capricious." What the minister wants to say is that if the establishment of diplomatic relations with Wei Guo fails this time, then Jing Guo will be driven to attack Wei Guo, Jing Guo is now our vassal country, and it is stated in the treaty that Jing Guo needs to obey our command. ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stood up and said: "The prime minister is too cautious, Zhou Zizhen knows the difference between Weiguo and our Fengguo, and now offending us is undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg, he shouldn't be so stupid, right?" ”
