Chapter 554: Reverse and Pro-Route
Besides, his face was almost green, so he quickly avoided these sanctimonious bastards and went to Zuo Ling, wanting to assess how much trouble he had caused.
"Don't you have a bunch of official business to deal with, why are you looking for me?" Zuo Ling's expression was indifferent, and he couldn't tell if she was angry.
Besides, the secret feeling in his heart is not good, the more Zuo Ling is like this, the greater the trouble may be. This is an undercurrent that is surging and a harbinger of an impending storm.
"Besides, my lord, congratulations, the matchmaker has come to the door, I think that the jade princess can't wait, come and recommend herself to you."
At this time, Jiu Niang suddenly came in and said with a grin.
"Girl, don't talk nonsense, by the way, how do you know?" Besides, I wondered.
Zuo Ling has just come back, so she shouldn't be able to tell others about this so quickly, and it's unlikely that she will be able to mess with it.
"Of course I heard it. Hee-hee. Jiuniang said with a smile.
Besides, I immediately understood that I had forgotten this girl's superhuman sense. She said that she heard it, but in fact, she should have noticed it with her divine sense, which was much stronger than hearing.
"I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it was the master who asked me to protect you, so I stared at you." Jiuniang hurriedly declared.
Besides, nodding, this is also a rule, as long as outsiders come in, Murong Yanran will definitely monitor every move of the passers-by, maybe this time it is all girls, the danger is less, so let Jiuniang do it for her, after all, Murong Yanran can't keep an eye on the entire camp all the time, no matter how deep her skills are, she can't do it.
He didn't know how advanced it would be to use his divine sense to envelop the entire camp, but he could estimate that it would be very exhausting.
Although Jiu Niang's martial arts are much worse than her master's, the depth of her divine sense is not much worse, this is also her unique talent, she can become Murong Yanran's only disciple, and her talent is of course beyond the reach of others.
"It's just what they're talking about, it's completely whimsical and out of tune." Besides, he laughed.
"There is nothing that people can make a special trip to say, I said, don't let me know anything, it turns out that you have already planned it, and you came here to recruit relatives." Zuo Ling said coldly.
"I'm here to negotiate, what kind of relatives are you recruiting? Absolutely nothing. Besides, he quickly argued.
"How can people bring it up if there is no matter, you don't have to be embarrassed as a person, I will give you the princess, especially the girl of the jade princess, if I wasn't next to me, I would have sat in your arms a long time ago, you tell me honestly, have you had any contact before?" Zuo Ling snorted coldly.
"Why, this is the first time I've seen this princess today." Besides, he was wronged.
"Well, I believe that." Zuo Ling nodded.
If you have known or contacted Princess Jade before, of course you can't hide it from her, Zuo Ling's sense is very keen in this regard, even if these two people can't hide it from her.
"When I say contact, I don't mean you've seen it before, but whether the imperial court really has a plan to marry Warat? And what's going on with the Tatars, don't say no, the Jade Princess will not lie for no reason. Zuo Ling asked again.
"It is impossible for the imperial court to make peace with any clan outside the Saiwai, so those ministers have to be scolded to death. Since the Great Song Dynasty, there has been no example of peace with Saiwai in the Central Plains, who dares to make this head now? Besides, it has always been true that the relatives have also married the princess outward, and there is no inward marrying the princess. Besides, he patiently explained.
Zuo Ling was silent, thinking about it, in her memory, she had never heard that the imperial court planned to make peace with foreigners.
"As for the Tatar things that are said, you can ask the girl of the third lady, if there is such a thing, will she not know? If she knew, would she not be able to say it? Besides, he added, puffing up.
"Hmm." Zuo Ling listened to him explain so much, and the anger in his heart calmed down a lot.
The Jade Princess didn't care about the teasing at all, in her eyes, it was just a child's trick. But if the imperial court really wants to take advantage of it and make peace with all the tribes outside the Saiwai, it will be a big deal, and she can't stop it, which is what she is really worried about.
"According to me, this jade prince will mainly come to visit in the future, and you will come forward to deal with it, I don't want to see her peach blossom eyes again." And sighed.
In the face of the Jade Princess's teasing, although he regarded it as a spring breeze, he also insisted on not squinting.
His temperament originally liked to joke with girls, and he was not the kind of gentleman who was meticulous and rigorous.
It turns out that in Suzhou, I am used to laughing and playing with Sisi, Qiuxiang and some girls, but everyone is very familiar with each other, and no one takes it seriously.
It's just that now that he is a plenipotentiary minister, of course it's not good to laugh with girls casually, especially if the other party is still a princess of a clan, he really wants to provoke something, but it's a shocking event, and he can't explain it to the emperor and Zhang Juzheng when he goes back.
"How can this be done, people are here to visit you, the minister, what is it when I go out? You don't have to worry about me, as long as you don't have a ghost in your heart, you can do whatever you want. If the emperor's mission was delayed because of avoiding suspicion, it would be a big loss because of a small loss. "Zuo Ling is serious.
"This is not an envoy from the emperor, it is Cheng Biting Jin who was killed halfway." And sighed.
This trip was supposed to go straight to Bansheng City, but for various reasons, he was delayed here for a long time, and naturally there were many unexpected things coming to his door.
"Then what if the emperor really wants to use you to make peace?" Zuo Ling suddenly asked.
"It's absolutely impossible." Besides, he shook his head.
"I mean if."
"There are no ifs and bolts."
"What if there is such an if?" Zuo Ling's insistence.
"If there really is such an ......"
Besides, his head is big, if this is the case, he doesn't know what to do, but he feels that there is no need to worry about it, it is absolutely impossible for the emperor and the court to do this.
But there was a voice in his heart: I may be regarded as an outcast by the emperor, where is there anything impossible? As long as it is beneficial to the Ming court, the emperor can do anything.
In comparison, he couldn't say for a while which ending was better when he was thrown into the dead ground outside the fortress as an outcast, or being treated as a pawn with various ethnic groups.
"Can't tell, can you? Hum! "Left Lingqi said.
She was just sulking, and she felt that it was impossible for this to happen, but the tone and expression of the jade princess made her feel a little uneasy and panicked, and she didn't know what it was.
Dinner, and a banquet for the members of the mission.
These days, I have been eating and living by myself, and I don't communicate much with the members of the mission, and the most important thing is that each member has their own agenda, and even if they get together, they are all talking casually. This is also the most annoying officialdom habit, it's too boring.
However, it is not good to always not eat and communicate with the members, and it is inevitable that people will be said to be detached from the masses, and people who don't know may mistakenly think that he is doing some small actions behind his back.
He did let Zuo Ling and Sanniangzi talk about business cooperation all the time, this kind of thing doesn't need to avoid anyone, it was originally a matter of the emperor's acquiescence, he took 5,000 carts to pull goods to the customs, what is it not doing business?
The guards slaughtered pigs and sheep, and the best parts of the meat were naturally the content of this dinner. In addition to all kinds of meat, there are also meat sausages, blood sausages, and all kinds of well-cooked pig and sheep offal. In short, the staple food is still meat, there are fewer green vegetables, but wine and meat are enough.
This is the best cattle, sheep and pigs on the grassland, slaughtered and killed, are the freshest, much better than the pork, beef and mutton in the mainland. The chefs brought with the army are proficient in the production of all kinds of meat and pasta, and the dishes can be described as full of tricks, even if it is just simple pork and mutton, hundreds of tricks can be concocted, and it does not feel greasy to eat at all.
Everyone drinks wine and fruit wine sent by the Jade Princess, and drinks the mainland's white wine and rice wine every day, and it is good to change the taste occasionally.
At the banquet, everyone said some things to each other. The wine has passed three rounds, the dishes have passed dozens of flavors, and most people are a little drunk.
So it was inevitable to talk about what the Jade Princess said about recruiting relatives, which is big news, and it is also a romantic affair, which is a topic of concern to everyone in any era.
The fire of gossip has never stopped, otherwise people would really have a lot less fun in life.
"Your Royal Highness Qincha, we have discussed it behind our backs, and we feel that the matter proposed by the Jade Princess this time is of great benefit to the court and the country, and we can study it carefully."
It was Lao Xu of the Ministry of Industry who took the lead in opening his mouth, and he was a model of honesty.
"Don't study this, I'm going to be punished for kneeling on the washboard, but fortunately I didn't bring it." Besides, he has no energy.
"Hmm. I saw that the Jade Princess walked on the front foot, and His Royal Highness went to the lady to ask for guilt. Cui Langzhong of the Criminal Department said with a smile.
"Actually, I really thought about it seriously, and I think that this matter can indeed be done, and it is really worth suggesting to the imperial court to study it carefully." This time it was Gavin Tiger of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who spoke.
"Why are you talking nonsense, drinking too much?" Cao Delin saw Gavin Hu's serious appearance, and scolded with a smile.
"I'm very sober, all of you think, what has always been with you, is peace. If a marriage can really avoid a war, why not? ”
"That's right, but the relatives are all marrying princesses of different races, how can they marry princesses of different races? This is also called harmony? It's completely reversed. Cao Delin retorted.
"Times are different, and the way of harmony should also change. If you want me to say, in the past, the relationship was to marry the princess, which was because our court was weak, but now that we are strong, we can naturally marry their princess, which is also called reverse harmony. ”
"That's it, I agree with this, or that sentence, His Royal Highness Qincha married the princesses of Tatar, Warat, and Uliangha, so that if you marry the three most threatening strong clans outside the Seysper, it will naturally be peaceful, and the negotiations will be easy to discuss, and you will be a family when you sit down." Lao Xu of the Ministry of Industry continued to gag.
Everyone was stunned.
This old man is used to talking, and everyone always laughs when they hear his words, but there is some truth in these words.
If the imperial court and the three strong clans outside the Saiwai are married, besides, negotiating with them is not just a family behind closed doors, what else is there to discuss?
"My lord, you just want to sacrifice for the country and the people, and marry all the princesses of the three clans."
"Yes, they are all married, Chacha and that clan are upper-class, and they are all married." An official took the opportunity to chimed in.
