279 Happy events are coming again
The envoy sent by Zhao State was Zhao Sheng, the king of the plains, and early the next morning, after paying a visit to the Son of Heaven, he directly turned his horse's head and came to the Tang Mansion.
It is also aggrieved to say, although it is more convenient to control Ji Zheng by moving the capital to Luoyang, but at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Fang Li cannot build a palace without authorization even if he is arrogant, although the Tang Mansion is complete, it is still a lot shabby compared to the palace city in Xingyang.
However, this move won Fang Li the favor of many princes, especially the Song and Lu kingdoms, which paid attention to blood etiquette, and inadvertently increased the reputation of the Tang State a lot.
In the main hall, the civil and military forces headed by Xun Yu and Gao Shun were in two classes, and Fang Li sat on the top in court clothes and summoned Zhao Sheng, who was already waiting outside the mansion, to come in.
Zhao Sheng walked into the hall quickly, first saluted as a routine and asked for warmth, and then went straight to the point: "Duke Tang, in addition to congratulating Duke Tang, there is one more thing for the foreign ministers to come to congratulate Duke Tang. ”
Thinking that Zhao Sheng was talking about King Xiang, Fang Li was mentally prepared to tense his nerves, and there was a gentle smile on his face: "What's the matter, Zhao Envoy just say it." ”
Zhao Sheng cleared his throat, his expression was solemn and serious: "Dare to ask Tang Gong, when will the 200,000 stone grain and grass promised by General Jia Xu to my lord, as well as some gold and silver military funds, be sent to our country?" ”
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this matter, Fang Li choked up, and then replied angrily: "Please rest assured that Zhao Gong, the grain and grass and military resources have been prepared, and they are preparing to send them to Zhao State on a later date." ”
Originally, according to Jia Xu's plan, these grains and grass military resources would definitely not really reach Zhao Yong's hands, but now Tang Guo needs to show weakness and reduce Zhao Yong's jealousy of Tang Guo, and Fang Li has to endure the pain of cutting meat.
Fortunately, 200,000 stones are painful for today's Tang Kingdom, but they will not hurt their muscles and bones.
Zhao Sheng bowed his head solemnly and thanked him, and then said with a smile: "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, when the foreign minister came, he just brought a team of elite guards to prevent the sneak attack of the bandits, so it is better to be escorted back to China by the foreign minister, so as not to trouble Tang Gong's soldiers, how about it?" ”
Was this frightened by the last time I begged for military rations, but was attacked halfway through? Fang Li nodded with a constipated expression.
After talking about the military resources, Zhao Sheng finally entered the topic, saying that in order to consolidate the Zhao-Tang alliance, Zhao Gong was willing to invite the Tang prince to show the world that the Zhao-Tang alliance was unbreakable.
Fang Li smiled: "Duke Zhao is sincere and admired, but the small soldiers of the Tang Kingdom are weak, and it is already flattered to be promoted to the widow of the Duke State by the favor of the Son of Heaven, and there is no idea of being the king, but if the Duke of Zhao has the intention of being the king, the widow is willing to call the King of Zhao and be a foil." ”
Translated into human words, you want to be called king, and don't take me.
"Tang Gong is a descendant of Emperor Yan, and his bloodline is noble, how can he be flattered?" Zhao Sheng persuaded with sincerity on his face, "My lord is sincerely willing to marry Tang Zhao for a hundred years with the prince of Tang." ”
It's like getting married. Fang Li ignored the discomfort in his heart, and changed the previous words again.
Fang Li resigned, Zhao Sheng continued to persuade, and then Xun Yu resigned on behalf of Fang Li, Zhao Sheng continued to persuade, and the words of both sides were full of flowers, and their attitudes were sincere. , to put it like it's true.
After a few rounds, Zhao Shengcai sighed again and again and gave up, with a sad face, as if he was Fang Li's courtier.
Fang Li was funny in his heart, these spirits really spoke better than they sang.
Zhao Sheng retreated contentedly, Fang Li and the ministers looked at each other, and were about to say something, when they suddenly saw Zhao Gao rushing into the Tang Dynasty happily, because he was too excited and was tripped up, and shouted: "The villain congratulates the lord, and the lady gives birth to a little son for the lord!" ”
"What did you say?" Fang Li's brain exploded with a "boom", and he stepped down in three steps and lifted Zhao Gao's collar in two, "You said that Mrs. has already given birth?!" ”
"Exactly, this morning, the lady said that her body was getting heavier and heavier, and she was bleeding, and the midwife who was waiting for her said that she was about to give birth, so she quickly called the little ones up." Zhao Gao bared his teeth and said, "Fang Cai has already given birth, and the lady and the little boy are safe and sound!" ”
"Aha! That's great! Fang Li was overjoyed, and jumped three feet high directly in front of the civil and military officials, "Ha! The widow is a father again! ”
Xun Yu and the others were also pleasantly surprised when they heard this, and they all leaned over and shouted: "The ministers congratulate the lord on his happy son, and the Tang Dynasty will be honored for ten thousand years!" ”
"Okay, good, all rewarded!" Fang Li was already incoherent, he had planned to discuss the matter of Korea after sending Zhao Sheng away, but now where did he still have the mind, he hurriedly grabbed Zhao Gao and ran out, "Quick, the widow wants to go and see Madame!" ”
Tang Shangwu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, no one thought that Fang Li was not doing his job, but they were all clamoring to wait for the good news of the little prince here, and even Jia Xu and Cheng Yu, who had never been smiling, also had smiles in their eyes.
Although Jing Xi gave birth to a son for Fang Li before, this time it is different, this time it is the son-in-law born to Mrs. Miyue, the little son who can really inherit the Tang Kingdom justifiably, this time, the Tang Kingdom is the real successor!
As soon as Fang Li stepped into the courtyard gate where Mi Yue lived, he suddenly heard an earth-shattering cry, even if he was mentally prepared, he was startled.
When the nurse holding the child saw the lord coming, she hurriedly brought the little boy who had been scrubbed clean in her arms to Fang Li, and praised with a smile: "Lord, the little boy is crying hard, he must be a mighty and healthy boy in the future!" ”
"Haha, good!" Fang Li went over to the probe, only to see the little baby with red body dancing in swaddling clothes, his face was wrinkled, his eyes had not yet opened, but his cry was not ambiguous at all, and it could almost deafen people's ears.
Fang Li was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and hugged the child from the nurse's hand, his posture was stiff, and he couldn't help but kiss the child on the face a few times, the little baby's cry was instantly louder, and the nurse was anxious and funny on the side.
still remembered Mi Yue in the house, Fang Li and his son made love for a short time and handed the swaddling clothes back to the nurse, and hurriedly rushed into the house, the waiter who was waiting outside said that it was unlucky to see the blood and wanted to stop it, but he was waved away by the angry place, until he saw Mi Yue lying on the couch and panting weakly.
"Madame, the widow is here." Fang Li held Mi Yue's hand painfully, feeling the sweat on the delicate skin, coupled with the strong smell of blood in the room, even after experiencing it once, Fang Li was still worried.
Mi Yue opened her eyes and saw Fang Li's eager face, she couldn't help but smile weakly, but her heart was very ironing.
Until the evening, Fang Li didn't come out of the backyard, and the ministers in the main hall waited for a while and didn't see anyone, so they dispersed under Xun Yu's suggestion.
Fang Li indulged himself in enjoying the warmth of family affection all day, and began to be busy with political affairs early the next morning.
After Xun Yu and Jia Xu knew that Fang Li had left the backyard, they both knocked on the door of the Tang Mansion, and Fang Li looked at it strangely: "The widowed prime minister and the general of the internal guard came together, presumably there must be something urgent?" ”
Xun Yu shook his head: "The minister is not in a hurry, but I just heard a few interesting things and want to share them with the lord." ”
Without waiting for Fang Li to respond, Jia Xu also nodded on the side: "The minister also got a few interesting things, and he was about to say that he knew with the lord." ”
