Chapter 585: Envoy of Yan Kingdom, meet friends!
Xiao Rui came out of Duanwang's Mansion and went to Tang Wang's Mansion to sit.
Xiao Yan's "Journey to the West" has been written, and it sells well in five countries, except for the Yuan people who are too rough and don't like it, it has caused a craze for chasing the wind in other countries, the world may not know who Xiao Yan is, but he must know who His Royal Highness the King of Tang is!
The popularity of "Journey to the West" has also made Xiao Yan full of enthusiasm, and he is now serializing his latest "Journey to the West" in the Daxia Daily.
So Xiao Yan's life is very fulfilling, either writing or coaxing children at home.
Oh, by the way, Nalan Yanran also gave him a daughter, so he has become a daughter slave.
Who would have thought that Xiao Yan, who had escaped, had become mature, no longer babbling like before, people were growing unconsciously, and sometimes when he looked back at his former self, he found that he was no longer human.
However, Xiao Rui's relationship with him is still as simple as ever, in front of Xiao Rui, Xiao Yan is always the younger brother.
After having dinner in the Tang Palace, Xiao Rui returned to the palace to rest.
The next day, the envoys of the Yan State happened to enter Beijing.
After the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple arranged for them to stay, he then presented the credentials.
Xiao Rui browsed the national letter, the content was a decent word of praise, and his attitude was very low, hoping to get the support of Daxia and the popularization of sweet potato crops, so as to relieve tens of millions of victims, Yan Guo was also willing to pay compensation and express his gratitude.
The content of the letter of state did not attract Xiao Rui's attention, but the chief envoy and a deputy envoy who visited this time turned out to be acquaintances.
Xiao Rui immediately sent an order to let the envoys of the Yan State enter the palace to meet him.
Half an hour later, Honglu Siqing took the envoys of Yan State into the palace, and the leader was Yue Shuying, the first friend Xiao Rui made when he traveled to Yan Kingdom. And the other person is an unexpected acquaintance, that's right, it is Lu Yongxu, the only son of the eldest princess of Zhao Guowuyang, who went to Yan Kingdom for love after being enlightened by Xiao Rui for a few words, but he didn't expect to become the deputy envoy of Yan Country now.
It must be Yan Linglong's reason, what is the relationship between the two now?
Do you want to kill him? Xiao Rui thought viciously.
"The envoy of the Yan Kingdom, Yue Shuying, and his colleagues from the mission to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, His Royal Highness is blessed with Jin'an!" Yue Shuying bowed, and the others followed closely and bowed.
Xiao Rui stretched out his hand and said, "Flat!" Come, give a seat! ”
After everyone sat down, Xiao Rui asked, "Is His Majesty Emperor Yan in good health?" ”
Yue Shuying said: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, my emperor is in good health." ”
"What about the crown prince of your country? It's a pity that I've heard of the name for a long time and haven't seen it. I also heard that the princess of Pingyang in your country does not let her eyebrows, His Majesty the Yan Emperor has this prince and princess, and the Yan Kingdom will be prosperous in the future, and the country will be rich and the people will be strong! Xiao Rui said with a smile.
Yue Shuying really wants to give Xiao Rui a roll of his eyes, don't you know what's going on? I can only continue to walk in the official words: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, the prosperity of the Yan Kingdom is inseparable from the help of Great Xia, remember the five insides, and dare not forget." I have admired His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess for a long time! ”
Xiao Rui nodded, and then got down to business: "Regarding the matter of sweet potatoes entering the swallow, the specific details of the cooperation between the two sides will be discussed between Lord Yang of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the envoys of your country, in line with the concept of win-win cooperation between the two sides, Daxia will fully support the Yan Kingdom." However, before negotiating, this palace still wants to ask Yan Guo's plan, where is it going to start? And at what cost? ”
Yue Shuying sat down and said: "Back to Your Highness, the Yanjiang River flooded in summer, and the floods in the twelve counties along the way were serious, and the floods washed away the fertile fields, resulting in the five grains not being harvested, and the hungry people were displaced. His Majesty heard that the sweet potato in your country is a treasure for saving the famine, with a short growth cycle and a large yield, which is far more suitable than planting grains, so Yan Guo wants to introduce sweet potatoes and promote them to the five counties with the most serious disaster first, so as to calm the people's hearts first. ”
"Your country already has a wealth of experience in planting, and I would like to ask Your Highness to help. As for the value of sweet potatoes, we are willing to buy them at a price three percent higher than the market price. ”
"At the same time, the price of ore sold in Yanguo continues to fall!"
......
Yue Shuying has already done her homework, so it is the way to say it.
Xiao Rui didn't care about the price, and handed it over to the household department to discuss, what he was most concerned about was confidentiality, so he emphasized: "Since Great Xia is willing to support Yan Kingdom, he will spare no effort to help, but Lord Yue should know that there has never been a sweet potato in the Shenzhou Continent before, this is a unique artifact of Great Xia!" Great Xia can be owned alone, within a few years, the people of Great Xia will have enough food and clothing, and the displaced people in other countries will be famine, and the palace will not introduce much, you can also imagine it. Now, Great Xia is willing to share this thing with the Yan Kingdom, how your country can protect the safety of this thing from being obtained by enemy countries is also a big deal! Especially the Qin and Wei states, which are eyeing each other. ”
Yue Shuying naturally understood the importance of this matter, and he said solemnly: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, please rest assured, before leaving, His Majesty the Emperor has made a promise that once sweet potatoes are promoted in Yan Kingdom, it is strictly forbidden to sell sweet potato crops to other countries, and once discovered, he will be severely punished for the crime of treason." And the promotion of sweet potatoes is fully responsible for the princess, and supervises and controls it, Her Royal Highness the prince can rest assured! ”
Xiao Rui mentioned in his reply to Yan Linglong that it is okay to give Yan Guo sweet potatoes, but it must be guaranteed not to be leaked. Give you sweet potatoes on the front foot, and sell them to Qin Guo on the back foot, then you won't be able to be friends happily.
Yan Linglong naturally understood this truth, so in her reply, she guaranteed her personality that she would never let Qin Guo get sweet potatoes from Yan Guo.
Now it seems that Yan Linglong did what she said, got the initiative in the transaction with Yan Huang, and handed over the sweet potatoes to her to manage, Xiao Rui could rest assured. The first grab
After talking about business, it's time to talk about private matters.
The other envoys retreated, leaving only the shadow of the moon, Xiao Rui waved his hand, and also asked the internal officials in the palace to retreat.
"Farewell for three years, Brother Yue will not come harmless!" Xiao Rui walked down, sat next to Yue Shuying, and motioned for him to sit down.
Yue Shuying still had an easy-going temper and said with a smile: "I'm still the same, but Your Highness has changed too much!" ”
"Is it big? It's still as handsome as before, and it won't be ugly! Xiao Rui touched his cheek and asked.
Yue Shuying was amused by Xiao Rui's narcissism, and laughed: "The change I mean is not the appearance, the appearance of His Highness is always handsome and overwhelming, I mean the bearing and majesty!" ”
"Depending on the position of the station, there will naturally be different changes! Let's talk about Linglong, is she okay? Xiao Rui asked.
Yue Shuying patted the brocade box she had carried when she entered the palace, and then pushed it to Xiao Rui, and said, "Your Highness, this is a gift from the princess!" ”
Xiao Rui was a little excited, and immediately opened the brocade box and found that it was a picture scroll inside. It's not a forgiveness hat that can be reassured.
When I opened the scroll, there was a portrait of a woman inside, and it was Yan Linglong.
The portrait is from the hand of a famous artist, the copy is similar and godlike, and Yan Linglong in the portrait smiled lightly, looking very happy.
At this time, Yue Shuying said: "Although Her Royal Highness the Princess is busy with state affairs all day long, her mental state is exceptionally good, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not have to worry. This painting was painted by a famous court teacher when I came, and it is a true portrayal of Her Royal Highness the Princess. ”
Xiao Rui nodded, if it was really the same as in the painting, Yan Linglong's spirit was indeed very good.
"It seems that time has also allowed her to adjust her mood, and she can face the situation in Yan Kingdom more calmly, unlike the worries that have been pent up in her heart like before." Xiao Rui said with relief.
Yue Shuying smiled and didn't speak.
Her Royal Highness the princess has not changed, she is still the one who worries and worries about the fate of Yan Kingdom, but now she has hope, and she is not worried in her heart.
When a mother has a child, she is not only responsible, but also re-establishes hope for the future.
Pity the father of the child in front of him, who is still kept in the dark.
What a look of shock and consternation would he have when he knew?
It must be exciting!
Thinking of this, Yue Shuying suddenly smiled, and then said with a bright smile: "Your Highness doesn't know, since Dayan's crown princess died of illness, Her Royal Highness the princess is solely responsible for the education of the imperial grandson. The emperor and grandson are smart, the princess regards it as her own, teaches him carefully, and regards him as the hope of the Yan Kingdom, with hope, Her Royal Highness the princess will naturally be in a good mood! ”
Xiao Rui glanced at Yue Shuying, and always felt that his smile was a little strange, so he asked: "The crown princess died, so Yan Xifeng didn't snatch the custody of the child?" By the way, how about Yanxi Wind? Still that crazy? ”
As soon as he thought of Yan Xifeng, Xiao Rui immediately thought of kicking him and directly killed him. This guy won't be a good bird, and he doesn't know how many men and women he has saved.
Yue Shuying said: "It's even crazier than before, he sent someone to assassinate other princes, and disguised it as an assassin of the Wei State, so that no one can compete with him for the throne and cannot shake his position." At the same time, he took advantage of the princess's retreat in Yanshan, and secretly colluded with Wei State, trying to lure wolves into the house. The only fortunate thing is that His Majesty has discovered the problem of Yan Xifeng, but now there is nothing to be done about it, and he can't re-establish the crown prince, so he just wants to hold on for a few more years and support the emperor and grandson to grow up as soon as possible! ”
Yan Xifeng is also pitiful, when he was a child, he witnessed his mother being pushed into the well and killed by his biological father, so he became sick now.
So he wants to destroy the Yan Kingdom with his own hands, and let the Yan Emperor watch the country die in his own hands!
Aren't you going to do anything for the throne? The taste of making you the king of the dead country is not fragrant!
Yan Xifeng formed a demon and always took the destruction of the Yan Kingdom as his own responsibility, rather than wanting to take the throne from the Yan Emperor and govern it himself.
The mind of a madman is not something that ordinary people can understand.
Xiao Rui naturally knew Yan Xifeng's neurosis, and he was worried: "Can Linglong cope with Yan Xifeng?" ”
Yue Shuying said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, His Majesty Emperor Yan intends to let His Royal Highness the princess protect the imperial grandson to grow up, and has handed over the military power of the Yandu garrison army to the princess, and the 50,000 army in hand is enough to deter any danger." ”
Xiao Rui was relieved.
