Chapter 8: Envoys of the Song State
After Li Lanfeng heard this, she hugged Murong Yu with a satisfied smile. She knew that Murong Yu was an extremely ambitious person, and he wanted not only the emperor of the Xia Kingdom, but the whole world.
The south of the Xia kingdom was adjacent to the Song state, which in turn was adjacent to the Wu state, and the northern side of the Wu state was the barbarian people who had long been entrenched in the desert area, and established themselves as kings, called the Heshe state. The north of the Xia Kingdom is connected to the North Underworld, and the lord of the Northern Underworld is cowardly by nature and the national strength is not strong. As early as the time of Emperor Moxuan, he was a defeated general under the Xia State, and in order to sue for peace, he promised to pay tribute to the Xia State every year.
Located next to the sea, it is the only landlocked country where you can go out to fish. Every year, there are many deep-sea fish and other types of seafood, as well as coral and pearls that can be enjoyed or worn by people from the bottom of the sea. However, the distance is long, coupled with the inconvenient transportation, despite the preservation measures, every time it is delivered, it is no longer fresh. It is precisely for this reason that Murong Yu wants to break this balance and conquer the Northern Underworld in one fell swoop, becoming part of the Great Xia Kingdom, rather than an independent country.
Li Lanfeng knew that Murong Yu would definitely achieve what she wanted, and she would also become the mistress of the world when Murong Yu became the lord of the world.
Cheng En walked from outside the hall, and when he saw the scene of the emperor and queen embracing each other, he bent down slightly and took a few steps back, for fear of disturbing these two people.
He was outside the hall and said softly: "Your Majesty, the envoy of the Song Kingdom has come to ask for a meeting!" ”
Although his voice was very low, Murong Yu still heard it, he let go of Li Lanfeng in his arms, and frowned slightly at Cheng En's words. On the first day of his ascension to the throne, an envoy from another country came, and he did not know what the other party meant. But since he came, he had to see it. After all, the two countries are adjacent to each other, and Song is the biggest opponent he wants to flatten in the world. The territory of the Song State is half larger than that of the Xia State, and the national strength is also quite strong, so he is very jealous of the Song State.
"Let the envoy wait in the imperial study, I will go over immediately!"
"Yes! Your Majesty! After Cheng En returned the salute, he left in a hurry.
Murong Yu came to the imperial study, where the envoy of the Song Kingdom was already waiting. After he saw Murong Yu, he handed over the fold in his hand and said in a loud voice: "Wu Ming, the envoy of the Song Kingdom, greets Your Majesty, long live Long live, long live, long live!" ”
Murong Yu sat on the dragon chair made of pure gold, and motioned to Cheng En to take the fold with his eyes. After receiving the signal, Cheng En hurriedly went over and took the fold in Wu Ming's hand and handed it to Murong Yu's hand.
Murong Yu took the fold, looked at Wu Ming who was bowing, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect the envoy of the Song Kingdom to call it by such a name." Wu Ming, nameless, how to call it? ”
Wu Ming didn't feel the slightest dissatisfaction with Murong Yu's ridicule of his name, he continued to salute Murong Yu and said, "Wechen's name comes from his parents, since his parents gave Weichen his name, then no matter how strange it is, Wechen will feel very reasonable!" ”
Murong Yu squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Wu Ming, who was bowing down, and secretly thought in his heart, the person sent by the Emperor of the Song State was really unusual, even if his words were full of provocations, he was still neither humble nor arrogant, and he spoke very calmly, and he didn't show any undeserved expressions because of his words at all.
He gently tapped his fingers on the royal table made of sandalwood, and after a while, he said, "I don't know what Emperor Song sent you for?" Today is the first day of my ascension to the throne, could it be that I have come to give congratulatory gifts? ”
