The Son of Heaven didn't say a word, his face was like frost, and several guards had already come behind these Kushan people.

The translator translated the prince's answer, his voice mixed with trills, seeing the silence around him, and seeing the slowly approaching soldiers, the prince was a little frightened, his eyes widened, he looked around, and asked, "Did I say it wrong?" ”

"Prince, you just insulted the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty..."The translator brought by Guishuang was afraid that the prince would say more, so he hurriedly whispered, where could the prince be like this, looked at the Son of Heaven nervously, kept apologizing, and asked the translator to help, the Son of Heaven suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said: "I never thought that I would be insulted by the people... What can I do about it, what can I do about it? ”

Seeing the smile on the face of the Son of Heaven, the guards stopped their pace, took a few steps back, and their eyes were still fixed on those Kushan people, as long as the Son of Heaven gave an order, the guards would be able to subdue these people immediately, and the hundred officials also catered to the Son of Heaven, and laughed one after another, the prince was still a little nervous, and his heart deepened the idea of wanting to learn the language of the Han Dynasty.

"Where did the vendor teach you that?"

"Si Li, just outside Luoyang..."The prince said a little dazedly.

"And what did you do to get him to teach you that?"

"I just bought something from him..."

The translator continued to translate, and the two of them got rid of the embarrassment of Fang Cai, and became enthusiastic again, and Greasy Sega was relieved to see that the Son of Heaven did not take this matter to heart, this Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty was really a tolerant and virtuous king, no wonder the Han Dynasty would be so strong and prosperous, Greasy Sejia thought to himself, and his face was filled with a smile again.

After that, the banquet was held very smoothly, the banquet was full of various delicacies, and the prince's eyes were about to pop out, but fortunately, he did not forget that he represented the Kushan Empire, and he was still learning the etiquette of the surrounding Hanchens, eating slowly, and the rest of the others, who were not qualified to eat with the ministers at all, all lowered their heads and put their hands behind their backs to show respect.

Although the Son of Heaven did not understand their peculiar thoughts, but did not open his mouth to ask or order, the territory of the Han Dynasty is vast, the customs of various places are completely different, the Son of Heaven has long been accustomed to such differences, in the face of all kinds of etiquette, he is able to maintain a heart of understanding, and does not forcibly interfere, for example, when he rushed to Hezhou before, the people there used the Xianbei and even Xiongnu rituals to meet him.

The Son of Heaven still responded to their visit with a smile.

After eating, the prince did not have time to taste this delicacy, he began to sing and dance, the Han people are good at dancing, and the Guishan people are even more so, seeing many ministers get up, they have rotated their bodies, dancing wantonly, the prince They can't sit still, smiled at the Son of Heaven, and got up to participate in the field, the scene is extremely cheerful and lively, the Son of Heaven wants to maintain the majesty of the king, can only sit on the top and watch them dance.

After the banquet, the prince and the others were sent back to the post station, and the banquet was set up, which was only preliminary, and it was also a reception etiquette, and the formal conversation would have to wait until tomorrow, when the prince returned to the post station and was still talking about the Son of Heaven, he was very fond of this gentle and benevolent Son of Heaven.

And at this moment, in the palace, Zhang He was sitting in front of the Son of Heaven, with his head bowed.

"Got it all figured out?"

"Your Majesty, I personally asked a lot of merchants in Guishan, this prince is indeed in this nature, this is known to everyone in Guishan, but, I don't know why he is the main envoy..."

"Hehe, if I had such a pure brother, I would naturally send him there, only such a person would make people relax...."

"Your Majesty, but what's wrong with this son?"

"No, seeing him like that, doesn't seem to be pretending... The King of Kushan sent this man, and it seems that he is sincerely willing to reconcile with the Great Han... However, do not relax the surveillance of this person, find some soldiers who are proficient in the language of Guishan, and I will know what he has done, what he has said, and even what he wants to do..."

"Yes!"

"In addition, tell Yuan Feng that the merchants around Luoyang seem to have too much money and have forgotten their duty, so he will increase the business tax in the Sili area..."The Son of Heaven squinted his eyes and said coldly.

"Compliance... Life! ”

The next day, the Great Han officially met with the Kushan envoys.

The Son of Heaven didn't say too much, most of the things were Wang Fu negotiating with them, or rather, the deputy envoy was negotiating with Wang Fu, the prince couldn't get involved in their topic at all, and sat in the distance a little dazedly, listening to the two of them negotiating, the purpose of Guishan's coming was very simple, that is, to strengthen ties with the Han Dynasty and become a brotherly state.

The state of brothers is naturally no problem, however, who is the brother, who is the brother, it will depend on their arguments and swords, in this aspect of the argument, Wang Fu is still quite good, from time to time to add a sentence of Guishan, so that the other party's deputy envoy does not dare to use the Guishan language to carry out some private exchanges, in addition to the problem of friendship, the rest is involved in business, military, and various technologies.

Guishan is willing to provide the Han with the best quality cotton, and the Kushan is rich in production, if the Han is interested, they can also carry out grain trade, in addition, the most famous jewelry of the Guishan, their jewelry polishing and other skills, although Wang Fu does not admit it, but still slightly surpass the Han, the two sides can carry out deep exchanges in these aspects.

As for the military, it is Guishan who is more dependent on the Han Dynasty, there is no big enemy around the Han, but Guishan's life is a little difficult, it is nothing more than when Guishan is invaded by foreign countries, I hope that the Han garrison in the Western Regions can provide a helping hand, in addition, Guishan hopes to buy the armaments of the Han Dynasty, the Son of Heaven is not good at this kind of diplomacy, and after giving full authority to Wang Fu and other ministers, he returned to the palace to rest.

The prince was like this, taking the opportunity to sneak out and wander around and play in Luoyang.

In the face of many problems, Wang Fu and the deputy envoy talked for more than ten days before the meeting was completed, and the same as the Han envoy, the prince proposed to stay in the Han territory for a few more days, as for the country, just send a letter, the Son of Heaven also generously agreed to his request.

Sixteenth year of Jianning, September

Xing Ziang officially handed over all the subordinate officials from Yuan Feng's hands, and began his first step as Shang Shuling, with the rise of Shang Shutai's status, over the years, Shang Shuling's status has also been rising, from the initial inconspicuous, has become the core of the temple, in the arrangement of officials in various places, Xing Ziang rejected Wang Fu's request.

Wang Fu wanted to promote officials from Menzixue to replace the previous positions that were vacant due to the new law, but Xing Ziang did not agree, he wanted to promote the original local officials, replace these vacancies, and then use the assessment to fill the positions left by these officials after they were moved.

Wang Fu thinks that he is doing this too much and spending money, while Xing Ziang thinks that Wang Fu's behavior is only concerned about political achievements and does not cultivate usable talents for the imperial court.

The two quarreled endlessly, and the relationship deteriorated instantly, hundreds of officials supported Xing Ziang, and the Son of Heaven also deliberately favored Xing Ziang, which made Wang Fu even more furious.
