Chapter 549: The Feast
On the same day, Yang Mu and Zeng Shisan discussed, vetoed Ruan Guo's proposal, and also made up his mind not to be affected by Ruan Guo's envoys, no matter what conditions Ruan Guo throws out, he must verbally refuse, and unswervingly follow the route that has been set.
Although he was determined to refuse Ruan's negotiations, out of the least respect, in order to make the war smooth in the future and not be unable to communicate between the two countries, Yang Mu still decided to give the two envoys in the Ziyu Palace, and at the same time, it could be regarded as the end of this envoy, which was a feast.
The Purple Jade Hall is not very far from the Purple Chen Palace, which is a place to hold banquets, but in the old capital of Cangcheng in the past, the general palace banquet is acceptable, but the reception of important foreign guests, such as the two alliances, it seems a little small, and it is generally held in the court.
However, now this new palace has no worries at all, just take the Purple Jade Palace, the scale is comparable to the court hall of the old palace, and the level of luxury and luxury is simply a street off the old palace.
The main people who received the invitation were the officials in the six ministries, as well as some old officials who had retired to the old and had some dealings with Ruan Guo.
Among the generals, most of the current incumbents are not in Xincangcheng, and most of them are also some veterans who have unloaded their armor.
However, the banquet in the purple jade hall in the palace was still very lively.
But even so, Ruan Fuduan was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Because before this banquet, Zeng Shishi was embarrassed to mention sensitive official matters at the banquet, so on behalf of Cangguo in advance, he officially rejected Ruan Guo's request for peace talks, that is to say, the purpose of this banquet is just to put on a show in political affairs, so that the relationship between the two countries looks less ugly and has a little room for maneuver.
There is also a purpose, that is, Cangguo wants to show the people of the world, so that the remaining four countries will have the illusion that there is room for relaxation between Ruan and Cangguo, which can be regarded as an indirect discord between Ruan and the other four countries.
Perhaps, Ruan Fuduan and Sun Shuang also thought of this and knew what this banquet represented, so after coming to the Ziyu Palace, Ruan Fuduan kept a straight face, and the word "displeasure" was almost written on his forehead.
Probably, he still can't believe that Cangguo would actually reject Ruan Guo's suggestion and insist on being the enemy of the Five Kingdoms.
Cangguo has only temporarily seized the opportunity at present, Chu Di and Yundi have not yet subsided, a large number of troops have been contained, what ability does Cangguo have to face the enemy army in all directions?
At present, it is still only the land of Wangji, and the Xuanwu Legion can deal with it.
At that time, Ruan, Jin, Wei, Mang, and even Kang will attack Cang from all sides, that is to say, both the west and the north will be attacked.
The long national border, can the Cangguo resist like now?
You must know that the defending country is not the same as the attacking country, the enemy army can concentrate its forces to attack on a large scale, and as a defending country, the Cangguo will be exhausted.
However, for Sun Shuang, Cangguo rejected Ruan Guo's proposal, and he was not surprised.
After all, he had seen the military strength of Cangguo with his own eyes, and in a sense, he even felt that with Cangguo's current strength, he was already able to rival the five countries, and at this time, it should be Ruan Guo begging Cangguo, not Cangguo hoping for a truce.
With the arrival of the invited officials and nobles, after filling the seats, the feast of the Purple Jade Hall began unconsciously, and the voices of people gradually became noisy.
These officials and nobles who were invited to come all had their own channels of information, and when they learned that the proposal put forward by Ruan Guo was rejected by His Majesty the Emperor, they knew some wind directions, and they all had a scale in their hearts, knowing what to say and what not to say.
Among them, Kong Shangxian is the most disdainful.
All of you here, if you talk about strategic vision, Kong Shangxian is definitely the most long-term and unique, witnessing and participating in Cangguo's gradual growth from a small country to a big country, his strategic vision and insights are also the most consistent with Yang Mu.
After Ruan Fuduan came to Cangguo, with an equal attitude, he wanted to promote the alliance of the six countries, is this when Cangguo is still the small country that used to be obscure?
That's what all the officials here think.
In addition, they vaguely heard that Ruan Fuduan had said a lot of remarks that were almost slanderous on the way to Cangguo, and after arriving in Xincanggang, he also openly said some inappropriate things in front of the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Therefore, this aroused the dissatisfaction of all the officials and nobles, and at today's banquet, almost no one took the initiative to greet him, but Sun Shuang was still aware of current affairs, and toasted everywhere with a wine glass.
Of course, Sun Shuang was also looked at by Ruan Fuduan, feeling that this was an official who was currying up with Cangguo and damaging the national dignity.
The most difficult thing to do is Sun Shuang, who secretly complains in his heart, and at the same time mutters.
Do you really not know that you are going to send me as a deputy envoy?
Isn't it because His Majesty the Emperor knows your temper and knows that you have a title of prince and don't know how to measure?
Looking at the hundreds of officials in the banquet, chatting with the officials around him one by one, Sun Shuang could only smile bitterly, he felt that although his group was arranged in the VIP seat, there was a faint embarrassment that no one cared about, which was incompatible with the excitement in the hall.
Fortunately, this embarrassment was only temporary, and after a while, a eunuch outside the hall sang: "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!" ”
In an instant, the entire Purple Jade Hall became quiet, and all the guests stopped their voices, standing from their seats to the aisle, and the needles could be heard.
Immediately afterwards, I saw a young man wearing a black dragon brocade robe, surrounded by a group of palace maids and maids, and walked into the main hall.
"Your Majesty—"
Whether it was an official or a nobleman, or a palace maid, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Yang Mu.
Yang Mu smiled, looked at the silent hall, nodded, and said, "You Aiqing don't need to be polite, today is a palace banquet, everyone can relax and don't be too restrained." ”
Then all the people thanked and got up from the ground.
It also made Ruan Guo and his party, who had been standing and bowing, feel relieved, after all, it was too embarrassing to be out of place.
But then they saw something even more embarrassing.
The emperor of Cangguo actually sat on the main seat, never saying a word, drinking tea lightly, and seemed to be leisurely.
What is this?
Ruan Funing's face was even more unsightly.
Due to the special court relationship in Ruan's country, Ruan Cairui's authority is not great, and he is still extremely courteous to these princes.
After arriving in Cangguo, the prince's dignity and the identity of the envoy can be said to be a Ruan State standing behind him, and the emperor of Cangguo nominally gave him the wind, but he did not say anything from beginning to end, which made him very annoyed.
