Chapter 256: The Dust Has Settled

"No......" Yan Shi got up nervously, and refused directly and decisively, which really attracted everyone's attention, and the Khan looked at it with a gloomy face, so that Yan Shi's mood immediately returned to normal.

Closing the wide sleeves, the Yan family returned to a dignified atmosphere: "The palace is out of shape, but, His Royal Highness the King side by side, my son is the only concubine of the barbarians, his status is noble, and he is the most suitable heir, staying in Dayi, I'm afraid it is a little unreasonable."

As soon as these words came out, the Khan's expression was subtle, that is, those concubines, either angry or dissatisfied, even a few generals also had meaningful expressions.

Yan Wushuang and Zhan Ge took in everyone's performance, and they also knew it in their hearts.

The barbarians respect the strong and respect the martial, so the barbarian leader used to be the one and the same, so that everyone respects the existence, but now, he is old, and the minds of the people below have begun to waver, and he has no way to suppress them.

"There is nothing unreasonable, the barbarians and the Tang King confuse the bloodline of the Dayi royal family, and Your Majesty has not yet disposed of it, but it is just to leave one of your princes in the capital. With such a big reaction, is it possible, my royal bloodline is not worthy of respect? ”

As for how Mu Qi came over all these years in the barbarians, Zhan Ge is not interested in knowing, and now the negotiation is the interests of the two countries.

Yan's face stiffened, and he quickly changed the topic stiffly: "This palace doesn't mean that, but there are several princes under the knees, if your country is willing, we will send another one to the capital."

As for Mandu Latu, that's absolutely not a no-no.

For the Yan family, she was able to sit in this position now, firstly because of her father's strong troops, and secondly, because of this only son, Mandu Latu's excellence is seen by everyone.

And if she is prosperous and wealthy in the future, she must make her son the new khan.

For her thoughts, the smile on the corners of Yan Wu's mouth was a little sarcastic.

"The queen is a little too thoughtful, Dayi is not up to you to send anyone, although the third prince is indeed a talent, but we think that there must be a more suitable candidate, and the khan is still in good health, the queen thinks about the heir so much, does she not put the khan in her eyes?"

Seeing that the atmosphere on their side was very dangerous, but because it was a public occasion, it was not torn apart, and Yan Wushuang's smile became more and more gentle.

Zhan Ge nodded to Yan Wushuang and looked at the Khan deeply: "From now on, Mu Qi's name is Long Ze, he is the new prince of the Tang Dynasty, and the third prince Mandu Latu will stay in the capital as the new proton, if the Khan has any dissatisfaction, he can send someone to the capital to appeal."

If he had said before, the Khan would have felt sad because of Mandu Latu, but now as soon as the words of the Yan clan came out, he was on guard in his heart.

Even though he knew that he would have to abdicate sooner or later, being forced to do so and being willing to do so were two different things.

"Since it is an order from Your Majesty, then obey it, and when the new khan confirms it, he will definitely send news to the capital." This is a pun, and it is also a wake-up call for others here.

Sure enough, some people's eyes narrowed and pretended that nothing had happened.

After the banquet, Yan Wushuang and Zhan Ge actually didn't have much to eat, just in case, after the banquet, the matter of the tribute was further determined, and then they left.

The Praetorian Guard's tense expression did not slowly relax until he left the barbarian tribal territory.

Zhan Ge lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the flags fluttering above the main tent, the roar of the lion carried the domineering spirit of the king, but the old lion could not continue to fight after all.

"This time things went unexpectedly well, and we'll play here for a few days and then go back."

Nodding slightly, Yan Wushuang pulled off the phoenix hairpin on the bun, put it in the box on the side, and disassembled the bun according to the copper mirror fixed on the table.

"Of course, you can also teach me to ride a horse, riding a horse on the grassland will definitely be refreshing." As he spoke, Yan Wushuang had already removed his hair, took the ivory comb and combed it carefully.

Zhan Ge put down the letter in his hand, supported his chin, and looked at Yan Wushuang motionlessly, with a reluctant expression and warm feelings.

"Do you still want to send a letter to the capital for the specifics of this banquet? If it weren't for the fact that the Yan family was too direct this time, I'm afraid it would be difficult to say it. ”

It's incredible to think about it, and I'm already determined to talk about it, but the opponent's team is too powerful, and they are profiteering, which is really unaccustomed.

Thinking of this, Yan Wushuang's smile couldn't be hidden, there were too many people at the banquet just now, she had been tense, and now that there was no one around, naturally there was no need to scruple.

took out the dried fruits in the lattice next to him, poured a glass of water for Yan Wushuang, and took care of Yan Wushuang in every detail.

"The most worrying thing about the Yan clan is Mandu Latu, as long as Mandu Latu is still in the capital, she will not be at ease for a day, and the people behind her will not be at ease, plus other people are ready to move, we don't have to worry too much about the affairs of the barbarians."

The biggest threat to northern Xinjiang is the barbarians and the Xiongnu, as long as these two are contained, the rest is easy to say.

The wind blows, the grassland swings a burst of green waves, there are faint cattle and sheep, the sky is blue and white, very beautiful.

A letter was sent back to the capital, and after the saint read it, Yu Zaochao read it in public, and everyone's admiration for the king side by side was greatly improved, and the reputation of the people was even higher.

However, there are always some people who secretly want to provoke right and wrong tomorrow, and a middle-aged official who is not good-looking does not know who he has been instructed to do, walks out of the queue of hundreds of officials, and salutes to the saint who is happy above.

"Your Majesty, this trip to the barbarians, the king and the princess are indeed very meritorious, but in this way, there are also great drawbacks, and the people have too much reputation for the prince and princess."

"Oh......" Shengshang's eyes narrowed slightly, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was gentle, so that people couldn't detect his emotions and couldn't figure it out.

"What does Aiqing mean, even if this time, the king and the princess should not be rewarded for their hard work, but should their merits be weakened?"

Xu Rong and Ning Qing glanced at each other, glanced at the saint, and then looked at the Yanguan who was still explaining below, and suddenly felt that the weather was so good today, and there were still people who came out to spoil the scenery, it was really a mistake.

The official immediately responded: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, and the popular will of the king and princess side by side is a hidden danger for Your Majesty after all."

"Hidden dangers? According to the meaning of this lord, if there is anything praised by the people among these hundred officials, it is a threat to His Majesty, that is, an existence that should be eliminated, so if this continues, there will be no generals and incompetent ministers in the court, even if there are more officials like you at that time, what is the point? ”

Sneering and opening his mouth is His Royal Highness King Sheng, recently King Sheng's career and love are proud, the spring breeze is blowing all day long, and he is in a very good mood, but it is a pity that the people who are talking about today are extremely concerned about His Royal Highness King Sheng, which is related to the happiness of His Royal Highness King Sheng.

"His Royal Highness King Sheng......" Before the words of the official could be spoken, King Sheng had already waved his hand impatiently, with a look of fatigue.

"Thinking like yours is the most dangerous, each in his own position, each performing his own duties, being able to do his best, giving full play to his talents to the greatest extent, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and the country will have long-term peace and stability, which is what every official should do."

A Praetorian Guard saluted and stood behind the official, with a serious and terrifying expression.

"Take him down, people who think like this are not worthy of being officials in the court, it's better to go home and sober up, and tell yourself what you should say and what you shouldn't say."

The official was panicked at this time, and before he could say anything to explain, he was taken down by the Praetorian Guards covering his mouth, and among the hundred officials, one of them lowered his head slightly, and his expression made people unable to see clearly, and he couldn't tell the truth.

King Sheng walked around from the front desk, his expression was a little unpredictable, he looked at the expressions of the hundred officials below, and shook his head slightly.

"This king knows that some of you are still unhappy about Zhan Ge's current identity, but this is stipulated by the previous emperor. What kind of identity does the king of the side do not need to be introduced to you by this king, and besides, if you can win two big victories and settle the war in the northern Xinjiang, if any of you have such ability, what about the identity of the side king to you? ”

As soon as his voice was cold, his expression gradually became cold and hard.

"Some people, short-sighted, don't know what it is from the perspective of the overall situation of the country, the war in northern Xinjiang is calm, for the people in the border how many years of rare events, you are in the capital, enjoy peace, for these naturally do not know. Next time, whoever has such a thing again, then go to northern Xinjiang for a turn and have a good experience. I wonder what Your Majesty thinks? ”

Saying that, playing with you or turning the topic to the saint, when he saluted, his expression was respectful, and he was not indulged in the slightest because he was his junior.

The saint nodded decisively, ignoring King Sheng's somewhat rude performance just now, and praised it heavily.

"What Uncle Huang said is good, if you can have the same merits as the king, I can also give you the same status. But if you can't do it, maliciously slandering others is against your heart. ”

Speaking of this, the saint reined in his expression, and his momentum rose sharply, making it impossible to ignore.

"Next time something like this happens, don't blame me for not mentioning it beforehand. Uncle Huang, this time the reward of Wang and Wushuang's sisters, just wait until they return to Beijing to be rewarded, what do you think? ”

"Yes, this majesty can just look at it." King Sheng is indispensable, as long as the merit is presented, the reward is not so important.

Moreover, according to the identities of Zhan Ge and Yan Wushuang today, nothing is rewarded.

"Since there is nothing to say, let's go down to the court, everyone Aiqing should also think about it, and lead by example, the most important thing is to lead by example." Leaving a sentence full of irony, the saint shook his sleeves and left, and the hundred officials looked at each other.

King Sheng sneered and left with the prime minister, talking and laughing, very relaxed.
