114 NCB Huangguo

"Xuan, Nanshang envoy, Donghua envoy, audience!" In the Taihe Palace, Gonggong Zhuang shouted sharply.

This was yesterday's event, and the Donghua Kingdom and the Southern Shang Kingdom sent envoys to Jiuyou for the second time.

The first time was when Liu Xuan took Da Luo Jiangshan, after more than three years, this was the second time.

"Great business envoy, Jin to see the emperor, long live long live, long live, long live."

"Dahua envoy, Jin to see the emperor, long live long live long live."

When the two messengers arrived in the hall, they bowed loudly.

Liu Xuan looked at them, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly, "You are not far away, what is the matter here?" ”

I saw the Donghua envoy step forward and said, "Back to Your Majesty, Dahua has always been good friends with Jiuyou, and after the eldest princess married into our country, she won the favor of the current emperor. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, Liu Xuan frowned slightly, the eldest princess mentioned by the Donghua envoy was naturally his eldest sister Liu Fang.

Unexpectedly, the eldest princess Liu Fang married into the Great China Kingdom for more than ten years, and died of illness in the year of charm, although Liu Xuan and the eldest sister Liu Fang did not have much intersection in the impression, but when I heard such news, I couldn't help but feel a little sad.

The Donghua envoy paused, and continued, "The emperor is extremely doting on the eldest princess, and she is heartbroken when she passes away like this, so as not to hurt the feelings of the two families, the emperor sent a micro-minister, intending to marry again to show friendship." ”

Hearing this, the ministers immediately discussed, this Donghua Kingdom has just finished saying that the eldest princess died of illness, and now he wants to propose another marriage, if it was the nine shadows of the year, it is also fine, but now they are not the nine shadows of the year, not that the marriage must be married.

However, then again, Jiuyou now has three princesses who have never married, and they are all past the age of marriage, if it drags on, it will not be a long-term thing, and now Donghua has come to propose marriage again, so it is not a bad thing to get married.

This is not a simple marriage, this is a political marriage, Liu Xuan knows in his heart that if this matter is not handled well, what will be the consequences.

Now, Jiuyou is fighting with the Great Mengguo, if this was placed in the past, Liu Xuan might not hesitate to agree, if he didn't agree, it would make Donghua think that he Jiuyou looked down on Donghua, so he provoked a war, then he Jiuyou might be destroyed.

But now it's different, even if Donghua Kingdom comes in, Liu Xuan has artillery and powerful soldier reserves, and he is not afraid at all.

But then again, in his palace, there are only three sisters, all twenty-six or seventeen years old, if it is put in modern times, it is nothing, but in ancient times, if it was passed out, it would be a little unpleasant.

Fifth sister Liu Xin, Liu Xuan has promised Ji Fang, and when he returns triumphantly, he will marry the two.

Fourth sister Liu Meng, according to the current situation, Liu Meng's personality is split, if he marries into Donghuaguo, the consequences are unimaginable, and it is conceivable that he will be executed, and he can only stay by his side at present.

The rest is the third sister Liu Jing, but others don't know, he Liu Xuan knows, Liu Jing already has a sweetheart, who is now the 'Dingyuan Marquis' Liu Yi.

Liu Yi in the Da Luo campaign, the contribution is indispensable, in the two years when Liu Xuan lost his memory, Liu Yi led the army to fight in the south and the north, and he was loyal, from this point, Liu Xuan could not ignore it, although he did not say that he wanted to marry Liu Jing to Liu Yi, but he had already decided in his heart that after Liu Yi came to the court this year, he promised to marry him.

Now Donghua Kingdom came to ask for marriage at this time, if Liu Xuan did not agree, it would make Donghua lose face, and the envoy of Nanshang Kingdom was also there, and the two countries were powerful among their five countries.

Although Liu Xuan doesn't take Donghuaguo in his eyes now, if he really fights, it won't be now.

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan didn't say anything, but instead looked at the Nanshang envoy on the side, and said with a light smile, "Nanshang envoy, what do you mean by coming here?" ”

The envoy of Nanshang bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen has brought the specialties of the Great Shang Kingdom and dedicated them to Your Majesty." ”

With that, the messenger beckoned to the rear, and saw four big men carrying a basket made of vines, covered with red cloth.

The basket was very large, as big as an official sedan chair, and looking at the four strong men carrying it with some difficulty, everyone was curious about the specialties inside.

The big man gently put down the basket and respectfully stepped back, and the messenger walked over, opened the red sermon, and said, "This thing is a kind of fruit, this is a rare fruit introduced from the distant continent beyond the South China Sea, except for our big merchants, the other four countries have no such thing, and our big merchants call it yellow fruit." ”

When he saw the fruit in the basket, Liu Xuan was stunned, isn't this the legendary pineapple?

Thinking of pineapple, Liu Xuan hasn't eaten it for a long time: peel the pineapple skin with a knife, and you will see the yellow and clear flesh. If you smell it, a fresh fragrance will go straight to your nostrils, which is really mouth-watering. Soak the shaved porot in salted water and eat. If you cut a piece and taste it, you must be like me before it reaches your mouth, and your saliva will flow down unconsciously. When you take a bite, the juice of the pineapple fills your mouth, and the sweet and sour taste is endless.

I didn't expect that there was such a rare fruit as pineapple in this world, but the size of this pineapple was twice as big as he had ever seen, and the quality was also excellent, looking at the hundreds of pineapples in the basket, Liu Xuan's mouth showed a faint smile.

Glancing at Xiao Zhuangzi, Zhuang Gonggong stepped forward and came back with a pineapple.

As soon as he started, Liu Xuan smelled the fragrance of pineapple, looked at the Nanshang envoy, and said with a smile, "Is there a scimitar?" ”

The Nanshang envoy was stunned, and his face showed a look of surprise: "The emperor actually knows how to break this thing?" ”

Liu Xuan thought for a while and said with a smile, "It's just a yellow fruit, how can I not know, this thing is indeed not available in my country, and I believe that Zhongqing has never seen it, but I have eaten it." ”

The Nanshang envoy respectfully took out a small scimitar from the basket, and the ministers looked ugly when they saw the weapon, but Liu Xuan didn't care, after presenting the scimitar, Liu Xuan was on the throne, and he was extremely skilled in cutting the pineapple, and soon, a complete orange flesh was displayed.

Before Xiao Zhuangzi reminded him to try it, Liu Xuan directly cut a small piece and ate it, even the envoy of the Southern Shang Kingdom was secretly shocked, if this was put poison in the pineapple, the emperor might die on the spot.

I think back then, when this pineapple first entered the big business, few people dared to eat it.

Liu Xuan ordered people to take out dozens of large pineapples, cut them into hundreds of portions, and gave each minister a share, this noodle was suddenly like a vegetable market, where there was a royal pie in it, so that the envoys of the Donghua Kingdom and the Southern Shang Kingdom were dumbfounded.

The rumors that the Nine Shades Emperor treated the ministers and the people were also confirmed in their hearts
