"I don't know what the secretary thinks about sending valuable envoys to the Shang Kingdom?" Huajun Murong Qi sat on the golden chair, his expression was not serious, but he was also thoughtful.

As soon as Murong Qi's words came out, the courtiers below instantly whispered and discussed.

According to Murong Qi's words, because the princess sent by Shang Guo is the sister of Nangong Ling, the newly enthroned Shang monarch, her status is extremely noble, and Hua Guo must also send an envoy with a noble status to it, so that the courtesy is enough. Looking at it this way, it seems that only the crown prince Murong Lin and the third prince Murong Yi can be qualified for this position.

Yu Ran's gaze lifted slightly, just as it met Murong Yi's sight, intentionally or unintentionally, and Yu Ran smiled and withdrew his gaze.

The next moment, as expected by Yu Ran, Murong Yi on the steps stood two steps to the side, and then said to Murong Qi: "Father, the son is willing to share his worries for his father." ”

"The third prince said that he wanted to share his worries for the orphans, which means that the three princes are willing to take the position of envoy and go to the Shang Kingdom?" Murong Qi's gaze swept over, and then asked rhetorically.

Murong Yi nodded again, "Yes, father, the son is willing to lead the envoy to the Shang Kingdom to share his father's worries!" ”

"That's a responsibility." Murong Qi nodded first, and then did not rush to directly assign the post of envoy to Murong Yi, but turned to look at Murong Lin, who was still standing silently on the other side, and he continued to speak: "What does the prince think?" ”

"Father, son, son......" Murong Lin hesitated slightly, and then quietly glanced at Yu Ran with the rest of his eyes as he leaned over.

Seeing this, Yu Ran smiled and nodded.

"Father, son...... There is also a request, I wonder if my father can answer the words of his son? Murong Lin raised his head, with some expectation in his eyes.

"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Murong Qi waved his sleeves and nodded in agreement.

Murong Lin made up his mind in his heart, and said to Murong Qi: "Father, the son also wants to go to the Shang Kingdom as an envoy of the Hua Kingdom!" ”

"Oh? This is unusual, and it is the first time I have heard the prince make such an unsolicited request. Murong Qi's eyes obviously showed a little surprise.

Murong Lin lowered his head and said, "Father, my son has already thought about it in recent days. Erchen is the crown prince of Huaguo, and he should seriously assist his father and the king, and shoulder the heavy responsibility. Therefore, Erchen thought that since Shang Guo married Princess Yan to Huaguo in order to show friendship this time, then Erchen, as the prince of Huaguo, should also go to Shang as an envoy to show Huaguo's attention to Shangguo, as well as his father's friendliness to the new king of Shang. ”

"It's very well said, the prince has seen how much he has grown in recent days!" Murong Qi praised. He had always thought that the prince he had set was more cowardly and did not dare to be a coward, but now that he looks at it, he looks at it a little differently.

Murong Lin bowed his head slightly, and said: "Thanks to the Taifu who has been carefully teaching his sons, the sons have woken up to the fact that as the prince, he should put the important things of Huaguo first, and he can't retreat at will." ”

"It seems that the prince can have this enlightenment today, because of his high skills! It was really the right thing to choose Yujin as the prince at the beginning. Murong Qi's gaze suddenly looked at the jade dye at the bottom of the steps, and the expression on his face looked extremely satisfied.

Receiving Huajun's praise, Yuran naturally had to be humble, she immediately lowered her head and leaned over, and said quickly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is already smart, and the monarch said that it is all the credit of the ministers, and the ministers really dare not accept it." ”

"It's too modest." Murong Qi nodded, and then refocused his gaze on the two princes who stood up. He was silent for a moment, as if he had thought a little, before he spoke aloud: "The crown prince and the third prince are both trusted children, and it is indeed difficult to choose the matter of envoys to the Shang Kingdom. But anyway, this noble envoy to the Shang Kingdom - let the crown prince be the one! Prince, you don't want to live up to Lone's high hopes for you! ”

"Yes, the minister must live up to his father's trust!" Murong Lin immediately responded, and his joy almost appeared, but in the end he forcibly took it back.

Murong Qi nodded, and then said in an ordinary tone: "Although the name of Shang Jun is different from that of the crown prince, the pronunciation is still the same. When you go to the Shang Kingdom, you must not avoid this matter, and do not let the Shang Kingdom think that you have lost your manners. ”

"Yes, father, my son knows." Murong Lin snorted again.

"Alright, that's all for today's morning." Murong Qi thought about it and felt that the things that should be talked about today were almost the same, so he waved his hand.

When Hua Jun left, all the ministers in the entire main hall were also relieved, and some of the courtiers who belonged to the prince's side immediately went to congratulate them. And Yu Ran just glanced at Murong Lin from a distance, and then turned around and left from the main hall.

However, when Tamaran reached the corner of the cloister, he was stopped by a voice behind him.

"Wait a minute!" This voice was from the third prince Murong Yi.

Yu Ran turned around, and sure enough, she saw Murong Yi coming from not far away, until she stopped in front of her.

"I don't know what is the important matter for the Third Highness to call the minister?" Tamarin said with a normal smile.

Murong Yi's eyes were slightly sunken, and he said suddenly: "Why is the envoy who was selected by my father to go to the Shang Kingdom today the crown prince?" ”

Yu Ran looked at Murong Yi's deep eyes, was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "Third Highness, the decision on the choice of this matter is all up to the will of the king!" In the end, since the selection of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the will of the king, no one can disobey it. ”

Yu Ran didn't directly say, "Even she can't disobey it", that is, she was involved in the matter, and she also wanted to remind Murong Yi that there were some things that they could not decide at will now.

"But you still managed to make the crown prince the last choice." Murong Yi's expression suddenly became a little gloomy, as if he was questioning whose side Yu Ran was on.

Yuran looked at Murong Yi, she pretended to be helpless, and said with a sigh: "Third Highness, it's not that the minister doesn't want to help you, the minister will tell you clearly!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did come to ask the minister if he wanted to recommend himself to the king to become the candidate for the envoy, but the minister also said to His Royal Highness the Prince, asking His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not to speak impatiently, but to speak slowly. It's just that the minister really didn't expect that the king would ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince directly about this matter, and when the king asked, didn't His Royal Highness the Prince also answer what he thought in his heart? The minister is just a mortal, this ...... It was indeed not something that could have been predicted. ”

"Really?" Although Yuran's answer was really impossible to fault, Murong Yi still asked with some suspicion.

Yu Ran looked at Murong Yi deeply, and then said very earnestly: "Naturally, it's true, the minister definitely doesn't dare to deceive the Third Highness!" ”

Murong Yi was silent for a while, his face was still not good, but at least he didn't eagerly fight for Yu Ran. He raised his eyes suddenly, and said in a deep voice, "Since that's the case...... That's really not to blame Taifu on you. Taifu has worked hard for the temple in this matter, and the temple naturally has to thank the Taifu here. ”

"I can't stand it." Yu Ran was deeply moved, and did not look up.

"This matter has been decided by the father, and even the main hall has no way to let the father take back his fate. It seems that the prince's elder brother of the main palace is really going to go to the Shang Kingdom as a valuable envoy of the Hua Kingdom. Murong Yi's eyes were dark, and his tone was also a little lower, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with the result.

Yu Ran paused slightly, then suddenly raised his eyes and said slowly: "The minister thinks that this is not a bad thing for the Third Highness. ”

Murong Yi frowned, he raised his hand and waved it lightly, motioning for Yu Ran to continue, "Taifu, please speak." ”

Yu Ran smiled slightly, and said in a breezy tone: "Third Highness, the only person who can compete with you in today's court is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. And now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is about to be appointed by the monarch to go to the Shang Kingdom, so there will be only three highnesses in the court for a period of time, and you can assist the monarch. Then, as long as Your Royal Highness can perform well during His Royal Highness the Prince's absence, the attention of the king will definitely be attracted to you, and the courtiers will also look at Your Royal Highness differently. Isn't that a wonderful thing? ”

Murong Yi was stunned by Yu Ran's words, he quickly understood what Yu Ran meant, and then there was a faint flash of light in his eyes, sharp and compelling. A cold smile appeared on his lips, but it gave people a slight sense of gloom, and then he only heard him say to Yu Ran: "What Taifu said is extremely true! is worthy of being a master, but he can still think of this level, but the palace is negligent. ”

Indeed, as an important envoy, the envoy to the Shang Kingdom seems to be a great thing in the eyes of everyone that can share the worries of the king and consider the Chinese country, because in this way, the envoy will definitely be favored and appreciated by the king, and it will also make the courtiers respect. In the same way, in the hearts of everyone, perhaps as long as they can send an envoy to the Shang Kingdom and show respect and friendship to the new king of the Shang Kingdom, then the Shang Emperor will also have some friendship with the envoy, which is also a good thing.

"However, even so, the affairs of other countries are the affairs of other countries, after all, Hua and Shang are separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, who knows that Shang Jun is still smiling at you at this moment, and will he turn his face to you when you step out of Shang Country the next moment? The person who can stand out in this kind of Shang dynasty and politics and successfully step on the throne of the Shang monarch, how can he be the kind of person who can make him obedient to you in every way with a smile on your face? A trip to Shangguo is still not peaceful, but everyone thinks that this matter is too simple.

"And the Third Highness is different, the Third Highness, you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also have extraordinary talents, which is also admired by the ministers. If Your Royal Highness, you can concentrate on the situation at this time, and let the king and the courtiers put their minds on you, then aren't you the real final winner? ”
