Chapter 119: The Coming of the Four Kingdoms (4)
After the hundred officials and the wives were seated, it was time for the envoys of various countries to enter and congratulate Xia Rui.
Liu An stood on top of the Danqi and shouted "Silence" to the bottom, and everyone present heard the sound and was suddenly silent.
A little chamberlain had already handed him a gift list, Liu An opened the gift list and read it aloud:
"I invite the envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom to enter the court!"
After a while, everyone saw three envoys of the Tianshan Kingdom wearing maroon narrow-sleeved tight-fitting suits, with several entourages to the center of the stands, and collectively gave a national salute to Xia Rui and Yun Xiao.
The leading envoy smiled and said:
"Dear Emperor and Empress of Great Xia, we meet again! On behalf of our Tianshan Kingdom, I wish the Emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom, a blessed life and good health, and I wish the Queen of the Great Xia Kingdom eternal youth! ”
Yun Xiao was slightly startled when he heard this.
She turned her eyes to look at Xia Rui beside her, Xia Rui held Yun Xiao's hand under the table, and said in a low voice:
"This is Azab, who came to the court two years ago, and he is also him."
Yun Xiao then remembered.
Here, Xia Rui turned his eyes to look at Azab and said loudly:
"Don't come to harm, Azab, I haven't seen you for more than two years, you seem to be much stronger than before, you have worked hard from afar, I am very happy to see you again, hahahahahahahaha......ha
Azab's smile remained unchanged, and he answered without humility or arrogance:
"Thank you for the compliment! In the past two years, your country has enjoyed harmonious relations with our country, and border trade has been very prosperous, and I would like to thank you for teaching your farming and water conservancy techniques to our border herdsmen, so that they can reclaim wasteland and grow wheat in places with rich water and soil at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, so that our herdsmen no longer have to worry about starving in winter! ”
"Hahahahahaha......ha So much better! I also thank your herdsmen for generously giving us your fat sheep and horses, your BMW is the most powerful horse in the world, which can travel thousands of miles every day, adding a lot of color to my Great Xia Kingdom. "Let's read the book
Azabu said modestly: "The emperor is polite, no matter how good my BMW in the Tianshan Mountains is, I also need gold and silver to exchange, when it comes to generosity, or your country is more generous, thank you for donating the gold and iron mines next to the Tianshan Mountains to our country, so that our herdsmen can do more transactions with other countries, therefore, in order to express our country's gratitude to your country, this time, our monarch specially asked me to bring double the cattle, sheep and livestock to congratulate the emperor on his long life!" ”
Gold mine? Iron ore? Gifted to the country of Tianshan?
This matter is an extremely secret matter in the Great Xia Kingdom, and only the deceased Emperor and Yun Xiao know about it, and Xia Rui actually doesn't know about it.
When the military officials below heard this, they were even more taken aback, and they all started talking in low voices.
For a moment, the scene was quite awkward.
Yun Xiao raised his eyes and swept towards Azabu, Azabu didn't seem to be much surprised by this sudden cold scene, the secret agreement reached between them Tianshan Kingdom and Prince Min, it was impossible for him not to know that it was to be kept secret, he didn't say it when he came to Daxia Kingdom two years ago, and on Rui's birthday this summer, he suddenly shook out in public, what was his intention?!
However, no matter what Azab's purpose is, today is Xia Rui's birthday after all, and there are envoys from three countries waiting to come in to congratulate him, now is not the time to pursue it, Yun Xiao forced himself to remain calm, suppressed the panic and worry in his heart, and under the table, he held Xia Rui's hand with his backhand, and reminded him in a low voice:
"Your Majesty, the envoys of the next country have come in to congratulate!"
Xia Rui heard this, and then came back to his senses.
He cleared his throat as if nothing had happened, and said to Aza with a smile on his face:
"We are allies, and we should support each other, thank you for your congratulatory gifts, please take a seat!"
Seeing this, Azab took his men to their seats as if nothing had happened.
Here, Xia Rui waved at Liu An, Liu An shouted "Silence" again, and everyone heard the sound and gradually quieted down.
Liu An glanced down at the gift list in his hand and read:
"Please invite the envoys of Xichang Kingdom to enter the court!"
