Chapter 375: Taihe Hall (4) Double Dragon Playing with Pearls

With such a mentality, Jiang Wulin also guessed a few points. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info then knelt on the ground again, made a sad expression, and apologized: "Please also ask the Emperor for forgiveness!" The last time the English tribute was faked, we, the Lanfang Mission, were originally aware of it. It's just that the English people promised us at that time that we wouldn't tell us about it. In the future, when the Ming Dynasty attacks Lanfang, it will provide us with military assistance. Therefore, we Lanfang have to pretend to be confused. ”。

There was immediately a sound of accusations on the field, saying things like bullying the king and unforgivable crimes. Jiang Wulin pressed his forehead to the ground, showing deep remorse.

Just when the hall was noisy, He Shen stood up again, and asked Jiang Wulin very dissatisfied: "Since you agreed to the conditions of the English, why do you suddenly reveal the true face of the Englishman now?" ”。

"Yes! Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Palace! Now that Baba is rushing to Daqing, I'm afraid I want to get some benefits, right? ”。

"Hmmm! A few years ago, Lan Fang cooperated with Nan Man Daming to sell commercial goods to the Qing Dynasty, and Lan Fang did not do it. So much silver fell into Nanban's pocket. There are courtiers who turned out the old accounts. And called the Ming Dynasty, for the Southern Barbarians. When the Qing Kingdom rose in the Northeast, it was also called Zhu Daming.

Now that the new Ming Dynasty is rising on the sea, the word 'Nanban' has once again been picked up from the pile of history.

It's ridiculous to say. The word barbarian was originally a general term for the Han people in the Central Plains and the surrounding tribes. In the mouths of the Qing people, the word brute is instead an accusation against the Zhu family established by the Han people.

Jiang Wulin didn't want to say much about this word game. Anyway, force is everything! When the Ming Dynasty subdued the Qing Kingdom, it would naturally let the word 'barbarian' be used where it should have been. And at the moment, what he should be thinking about is not these details, but how to resolve the hostility of everyone. After all, as soon as He Shen's words came out, everyone else looked at Jiang Wulin with unkind faces. The thick sense of reproach can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye.

Then his head turned, and he brewed his emotions for a while, and then he said: "This-this-this..." I don't know if it's urgent, or if there's something unspeakable. But this panicked performance caused the people present to be even more dissatisfied.

After spitting like this for a while, Jiang Wulin finally said the complete words, and said with sincere fear: "Last time, the Lanfang delegation returned to China, and received many gifts from the Emperor Tai. This made most of our Lan Fang's capital uneasy. Day and night he blamed himself for the deception of the English. As a result, I thought about it day and night, and unfortunately fell seriously ill.

At this time, Da Ming attacked our Lan Fang. The English who had promised to help us were treacherous and watched from the sidelines.

Retribution too! We, Lanfang, are the people who moved out of the Qing Kingdom. In any case, you should not cooperate with the English and deceive the emperor. Now our Lanfang country is in danger under the Ming Dynasty's soldiers.

So he didn't think about it, and only asked me to bring Lanfang's best tribute to the Qing Dynasty. The first is to expose the truth of the English people's deception, the second is to realize the wish of the unification, and the third is to selfish and extravagant hopes, the Qing Dynasty can ignore the past suspicions and save Lan Fang from fire and water. ”。

These incoherent words, combined with the pained expression, are also wonderful. And when it's time to regret, it's remorse. When it was time to be angry, he gritted his teeth and hated himself.

That contagiousness greatly increases the credibility!

If there is an Oscar in this era, Jiang Wulin will definitely be able to get a Minion back.

It took a long time for the people to come to their senses from his words. Some courtiers also immediately criticized the English in a stern tone. It's just that Emperor Jiaqing persuaded with a little hesitation: "Emperor Taishang! The so-called simultaneous listening is clear, and partial listening is dark. I don't think I can believe Lan Fang's words. ”。

This is very reasonable. It seems that as the future heir of the Great Qing Kingdom, his head is not so stupid and stupid. Jiang Wulin listened, and couldn't help but look at Emperor Jiaqing a little highly. However, he also knew that it was the Jiaqing Emperor who looked very mediocre who pushed the Qing State to use troops against Nanyang.

Now that I say this, it is very likely that I don't want to promote the good situation that I have promoted, and it will be wasted for no reason.

For this situation, how could Jiang Wulin not deal with it. Bow again, and let the emperor allow himself to present evidence. He Shen, who was the emperor and the former celebrity, also said good things for Jiang Wulin.

After observing the words, He Shen spoke up and allowed Jiang Wulin to present evidence.

Then he saw an entourage come in with a carved wooden box. The eunuch standing at the top immediately took it. When it was opened, a burst of white light immediately vented. The eunuch was so frightened that he couldn't close his mouth. Some courtiers also stood on tiptoe curiously and looked over.

The Emperor Taishang immediately said with some suspicion: "What? What is it that causes you to lose your temper so much? ”。

The eunuch was the first to kneel down and said, "The Emperor forgives his sins!" The minions are short-sighted and do not know the objects in it. The hand holding the box also trembled. attracted the emperor too much, and he was even more curious.

He rebuked in a dissatisfied tone: "Useless minions, don't submit them quickly!" ”。

The eunuch said a word and carefully presented it. His arms trembled as if he were sick.

When he got closer, the Emperor Taishang also saw what was inside. For a moment, his eyes widened. Emperor Jiaqing, who was standing on the side, turned pale. It seems that all of a sudden, someone has been brushed with white ash.

With a snap, the wooden box was touched to the ground by the Emperor. He also scolded in his mouth: "Bastard thing! Outrageous! ”。 As soon as this scolding came out, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knelt down in fear. Jiang Wulin also pretended not to know anything, and explained: "The Emperor forgives the sin!" We bought all these things from the English in the South Seas.

And the sculpture of the double dragon playing with pearls, the English people, also presented exactly the same to the new emperor. ”。

Everyone gasped and immediately understood something.

This double dragon play bead has never been used indiscriminately. Because it contains the implication of fighting for power with the Son of Heaven. And this sculpture was given to the new emperor by the English. The implication of this is even clearer.

Ordinary people think that they must have preconceived ideas that the new emperor wants to compete with the emperor for power. Emperor Jiaqing has served the Emperor Taishang for so long, how can he not understand the meaning. And he also understands the taboo of the emperor. Therefore, even if he is already a rightful emperor, he doesn't care about face at all.

Kneeling in a cold sweat, he didn't dare to come out.

At this time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were also silent, waiting for the emperor to speak.

This silence lasted for a long, long time. The Manchu Dynasty civil and military really knelt on the ground and refused to say a word. Fortunately, Jiang Wulin expected that when he met the Emperor Taishang today, he would inevitably bow down. deliberately added soft knee pads on the legs. Kneeling like this now, it's not so sour and soft. (To be continued.) )
