Chapter 535: Agreed to Compete

On such an occasion, even the second prince is whitewashing the peace, for fear that others will see where he has made a mistake. But the third prince actually analyzed himself directly and apologized in public, which made the emperor feel his sincerity, and felt that this was a responsible person.

It wasn't until everyone gave the gifts that the eldest prince stood up, and what he gave was not valuable, it was a painting.

A painting drawn by his own hands is a picture of the Shangyuan Festival.

For this son, the emperor no longer paid attention to it in the early years. After all, a son with a dead leg and a simple life, except for giving the emperor a little more pity, the rest of the time, there is no time to think of him.

When I saw him today, I suddenly remembered that the great prince's painting skills were superb.

But for a prince, being good at painting is really not something to boast about.

Therefore, the emperor just nodded and smiled and ordered someone to take it, and because he gave him face, he asked again: "What does this painting mean?" ”

The eldest prince didn't know about the emperor's indifference, and only said softly: "Back to my father, this painting is the scene in Beijing during this year's Shangyuan Festival, and your father is a golden body, and you can't go out of the palace to see this grand scene in person, and your son wants to draw it for you to see." ”

Hearing this, the emperor couldn't help but be stunned.

In the past, he did mention it casually, as an emperor, every time he leaves the palace, it must be a huge momentum, and things like private visits to Weifu can only exist in the script.

At that time, he knew that the Shangyuan Festival was very lively, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, so he told the palace people that if he could really go out of the palace secretly to take a look, it would be regarded as a wish fulfillment.

Who would have thought that such a casual sentence would actually be written down by the eldest prince.

No one else paid attention, but this son, who had been neglected by himself, had been drawing for a few months, just to take a look at himself.

"You've got a heart."

After a while, the emperor said this, and the eldest prince was still full of deference, and said gently: "Erchen only has this small painting ability, it is difficult to get into the elegant hall, and I ask my father not to dislike it." ”

is obviously a nobleman, but because he was excluded from power early, the whole person is a little out of the world.

The emperor sighed in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he only nodded and said, "I like it very much, look at it." ”

After receiving the emperor's reward, the eldest prince was still neither humble nor arrogant, and after saluting, he returned to his place and sat down.

is clearly the eldest son of the emperor, but the position is the last of all the sons.

The emperor didn't pay attention to it at first, but at this time, he realized something later.

It turned out that neither he nor his younger brothers took the eldest prince seriously.

Even when the gift was just presented, according to the rules, it should have been given by the eldest prince first.

But it was the second prince who stood up first.

At that time, I didn't even realize that something was wrong!

The emperor's heart was full of thoughts for a while, but his face was not revealed.

After the princes had finished giving the gifts, it was the turn of the envoys of various countries.

The envoys were all from foreign countries, so the gifts they gave were strange, and the Western Regions even sent a Bactrian camel.

It's a rarity, but it smells great.

Where Gu Jiu was sitting, he could smell the pungent smell of the livestock, and the envoy from the Western Regions was still very proud: "This is the treasure of my Western Regions, the vast sea of sand does not distinguish things, if there is no it, I don't know how many dry bones will be buried." ”

Hearing what he said, Gu Jiu was a little surprised, and he didn't care about the bad smell, so he quietly poked Qin Zheng and asked softly, "Husband, what he said is true?" ”

This so-called camel looks very peculiar, and it still has such ability?

Hearing this, Qin Zheng nodded, and quietly told her: "That's true, this thing can take people out of the desert, and it is very hungry, you look at the twin peaks on his back......"

When he spoke, Gu Jiu's eyes became brighter and brighter, and the Lin family on the side also listened with some curiosity, while looking at the camel.

After he finished speaking, Gu Jiu immediately praised: "Husband is so powerful, you even know this!" ”

The little girl's admiring eyes made Qin Zheng's heart rise a little happy, and he was a little glad that he was glad for the miscellaneous books he usually read, but his face was very calm: "Well, it's just that I occasionally dabble in it." ”

The camel was only a matter of moments before it was led down.

Although the emperor felt that it was difficult to give such a thing, he was a little thoughtful when he heard that this camel could cross the desert. Book Bar

Therefore he praised a few words, and ordered the people to reward them, and after the people of the Western Regions went down, he saw the people of North Vietnam come forward.

"Your Majesty, what we have given from Beiyue this time is the treasure of Beiyue - the bloody horse."

North Vietnam borders Western Chu, and nearly half of the land is a vast grassland, which is a good place to raise BMWs.

Xichu also used to breed according to the method of North Vietnam, but unfortunately the horses raised were always inferior to North Vietnam, not to mention the hard-to-find sweat and blood horses.

If it weren't for the defeat of North Vietnam this time, I'm afraid that this bloody BMW would still not be able to reach Xichu.

If the emperor was just interested in the camel, then he was a complete surprise to this bloody horse.

Gu Jiu had only seen sweaty BMW in books, and after hearing it at this time, he couldn't help but look out.

After a few moments, I saw a group of black-covered horses being brought in.

Those civil servants couldn't see anything, but the generals were a little excited.

They have been working with horses for many years, and they can be seen at a glance that they are not extraordinary.

The emperor was satisfied with Beiyue's acquaintance, and said with a smile: "Okay, come here, see the reward." ”

After receiving the reward, the envoy smiled respectfully: "Your Majesty, you don't have to rush to reward first, we have a small request, I wonder if you can agree?" ”

As soon as he said this, the emperor raised his eyebrows, but he didn't immediately agree, but said, "You can talk about it." ”

"This bloody BMW is the treasure of my North Vietnam, and I brought it here to express the sincerity of North Vietnam. It's just that BMW needs heroes, I heard earlier that the princes of Western Chu are all heroic, I wonder if we can have a chance to compete with the princes of Western Chu? ”

North Vietnam: That's what it means to be a challenge.

When the emperor heard this, his expression narrowed slightly, and his mind was constantly thinking.

It's an opportunity.

It's just that these North Vietnamese envoys who came this time were all subordinates, and none of them were members of the royal family.

Wouldn't his son be too low-ranking to compete with these people?

The civil officials on the side immediately saw the emperor's thoughts, and immediately spoke: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks it's inappropriate, the princes of my dynasty are all nobles, and the monarchs and ministers are different, how can they compete together?" ”

His words were also the emperor's heart.

The envoy seemed to have been prepared, and immediately said respectfully: "Naturally, it doesn't have to be the princes, even the soldiers of Xichu, it's okay." ”

As soon as he said this, the emperor immediately understood.

I am afraid that this person has long planned to compete with the courtiers, and the reason why he raised the prince first is to let him take a step back.

Now that everything has come to this point, if they don't agree, it will seem that Xi Chu is afraid of them.

Therefore, the emperor immediately nodded and said, "Then tomorrow, in the martial arts arena, we will have a discussion." ”

With the emperor's promise, the envoy's expression lit up immediately, and he said respectfully: "Thank you to the emperor for your success." ”

It's just that when he went back, the faint Amo gave him a look.

Gu Jiu had been staring at that Mo all the time, so he didn't miss his look, seeing this, he hurriedly squeezed Qin Zheng's hand and motioned him to look over there.

Qin Zheng was also paying attention to them, and seeing this, he nodded and said quietly: "Don't worry, I'll watch it." ”

It's just that in his heart, he is secretly thinking, Gu Jiu is keen, and he has noticed such a small movement.

Because of the emperor's opening, this matter can be regarded as officially decided, and there is no room for repentance.

Although the emperor felt that he was a little hasty, he had agreed to all the promises now, so he could only keep this matter in mind.

After that, it was the people of Miao Jiang who came to give gifts.

Unlike other countries, Miaojiang is women-oriented.

And the envoys who came today were all women.
