Ma Jiaqi carried the scroll and circled in front of the princes and ministers and foreign envoys, and then presented the painting to the master of ceremonies who came to receive the gifts.

At this moment, some people in the Calyx Building couldn't hold back and began to whisper to each other, and some people, such as the envoys of the Western Regions, were inexplicably confused.

Wang Chang's face has begun to turn blue, but he is silent, for more than 20 years, today the queen made an exception for the first time and did not attend the banquet in Calyx Tower, Wang Chang also sympathized with her feelings, so she did not force it, and now it is Shuguifei who is accompanying Wang Chang. When Concubine Shu saw it, she immediately lost her face and exclaimed: "Your Majesty! It's not ...... This is not ......" The last four words, Concubine Shu never spoke.

"Yes, the concubine has good eyesight! The picture above is the only son of the queen of your country, the thirteenth prince Prince Zhao. Ma Jiaqi clapped her hands and praised.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the banquet. Xian Liangchen finally understood why after escorting 100,000 stone of grain to Taibai Kingdom last time, Yun Mengguo never sent anyone to discuss matters related to the wedding of the Thirteenth Prince and the Seventh Princess.

Then, Ma Jiaqi turned to Wang Chang and said, "Your Majesty, before Weichen left, the thirteenth prince specially gave Weichen a token, please transfer it to Your Majesty."

So, Jin Shang came and took the token and presented it to Wang Chang, which was the five poisonous sachets embroidered by Queen Yunfeng to Wang Zizhao, and Wang Chang also had one of this style, so Wang Chang had probably guessed the intention of Buyeo Guo this time. As the saying goes, if you don't have anything to do, you can't go to the Three Treasures Palace, and the other party is preparing to blackmail Yunmengguo in the name of celebrating your birthday. Wang Chang suddenly felt very uncomfortable, and before the token was handed in front of him, he passed out.

"Your Majesty! Emperor! Quickly, quickly pass on the imperial doctor, the emperor's head wind disease is suffering again. "Concubine Shu has seen it many times, and although she has seen it for a long time, she can always show her surprise, sadness, and concern just right.

So, Fei Yun and the others immediately transferred Wang Chang from behind the Calyx Tower. At this time, the envoys of various countries present couldn't sit still, and the scene was restless for a while, and Concubine Shu suddenly seemed to come back to her senses, and said politely: "Your Majesty has a sudden old illness and has disturbed you Yaxing, and the concubine is here to accompany you on behalf of Your Majesty!" The envoys have come from afar on behalf of their own lords, so please return with all your joy. ”

At this time, it was just the right time, so Taichang Temple began to play music, the food workshop began to serve, the birthday banquet has 20 hot dishes, 20 cold dishes, 4 soups, 4 side dishes, 4 fresh fruits, 28 candied melons and fruits, 29 pasta of various colors, a total of 109 products. Dishes include meats such as pigs, deer, sheep, chickens, ducks, and fish, supplemented by mountain delicacies such as mushrooms, bird's nests, and fungus.

The envoy of the Buyeo Kingdom had not had time to open his mouth to put forward the conditions, and now seeing that the lord of the Yunmeng Kingdom was sick, and the others waited as if nothing had happened, they began to concentrate on tasting the dishes, so they had to retreat to a vacant seat, sit down and start drinking.

Xian Liangchen, the envoy of Taibai Kingdom here, is also anxious, he has seen this matter once, but it is a lifelong event for the seventh princess, and he must not let Yunmengguo be confused, thinking: If you Yunmengguo don't give me an explanation for a day, I won't go back for a day, so I will stay here with the princess and her entourage and not leave. So, I also pretended to be okay and started eating and drinking.

And all the next celebrations in the Shuguifei and Taichang Temple Qingzong Zhengduan Guogong under the auspices of the original plan, one night of fire trees and silver flowers, Jin Wu can't help the night, leaking and not urging each other, the capital is still full of joy and peaceful atmosphere. In such three days, the envoys of various countries, except for the Taibai Kingdom and the Buyeo Kingdom, received the rich gifts from the Ministry of Rites, and happily returned to their lives.

On the fourth day, word came from the palace, saying that the lord of the country was still unconscious, and the empress dowager ordered the king of Wei to act as the governor of the state, and the prince of Eguo and the king of Nanping County to assist the government together. Although the succession to the throne of Yunmengguo did not implement a strict primogeniture inheritance system, it has always been noble and noble, and noble and long. Therefore, now that the thirteen princes are not here, whether in terms of seniority or order, King Wei is a well-deserved candidate.

As a result, Xian Liangchen, the envoy of the Taibai State, and Ma Jiaqi, the envoy of the Fuyu State, both came to ask for a meeting when they heard the news.

Ma Jiaqi first put forward the request of Fuyu State on behalf of Gao Tanli: Yunmengguo gave Fuyu 20,000 taels of gold, in addition, 100,000 stones of rice, 2,000 horses of Huzhou silk, and 200,000 candles of Dengzhou flowers...... The paper is full of treasured specialties of Yunmengguo.

When the ministers heard this, did they not know if it was a robbery? The first to stand up against it was Zhang Zhongxiang, the head of the household department: "The minister has this to play." His Royal Highness the King of Wei, since the beginning of this year, the household has spent more than five times the sum of previous years: first of all, the coming-of-age ceremony of the thirteenth prince, because the thirteenth prince is the only son of the queen, so his coming-of-age ceremony is to show benevolence - red envelopes have been given to the good people of the country; Officials below the county level are given the rank of "knight"; exemption from the "oral tax" (a poll tax levied on minors between the ages of seven and seventeen) for two consecutive years; Within three years, those who owed the state "more endowments" (taxes to the Han Dynasty to resist forced labor) were no longer to blame; The national holiday was celebrated for five days with open drinking and celebrations...... The second is to aid 100,000 stone of grain in Taibai Country, and then to support Juyong Pass......"

Zhang Zhongxiang was about to continue chattering, but was interrupted by Wang Zizhan, "Lord Hubu, this king has heard it clearly, I don't know what the other ministers think?" ”

At this time, the Duke of E stood up and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Wei, the old minister has a book, since the beginning of the world, the ancestors have set up rules: this dynasty does not get along with relatives (do not marry princesses), do not compensate, do not cut land, do not pay tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies in Sheji." Now that the ancestral precepts are still in my ears, how can I mess up the national law and discipline because of a mere prince. The minister thought that there was no need to discuss it again, and it was enough to directly blast the envoys of the Buyeo State out of the country. ”

At this time, Xian Liangchen, the envoy of Taibai State, couldn't sit still: "The foreign minister asks His Royal Highness the King of Wei to think twice." Previously, Yunmengguo and my Taibai Kingdom had made a marriage contract, marrying the seventh princess of my country to the thirteenth prince as his wife, and the two countries intermarried, thinking that it would be good forever. As the saying goes, the father and son of heaven and earth, the closest relatives are father and son, and now His Majesty is still bedridden, how can he bear to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person? "Actually, what Xian Liangchen thinks is, if this Yunmeng Kingdom annoys the Buyeo Kingdom, and the Lord of the Buyeo Kingdom kills Wang Zizhao in a fit of rage, won't my princess Taibai Kingdom become a widow? The husband died before he passed the door, who would dare to marry the princess of Taibai Kingdom in the future?

At this time, the king of Nanping County spoke: "All the ministers are reasonable. When the former lord of Buyeo State was in power, he had concluded a treaty of harmony with our country, and asked the envoy of Buyeo State, Lord Ma Jiaqi, to think twice," the king of Nanping County turned to Ma Jiaqi and continued, "A gentleman does not win people's love, since His Royal Highness the Prince of our country has been hospitalized by your lord in your country, the grace of this meal has to be repaid, and there is no reason for you to return empty-handed, but the material can be promised, but this gold can never be agreed, so as not to make the world laugh at your country is not a husband who saves from trouble, It's more like a villain who is greedy for money and profit! ”

Ma Jiaqi, the envoy of the Buyeo Kingdom, was dumbfounded for a while and couldn't answer, so he had to agree to the conditions of Yunmengguo.
