Chapter 162: Chewing the Root of the Tongue
Kong Youde stood aside, listening to what the envoy said was very reasonable, and couldn't help but admire the wisdom of the lord of Wuyan.
If the princess refuses to show up, or refuses to marry in person after she appears, it is naturally hopeless to get married.
But if the princess personally agreed to come to the court, if there is any entanglement in the future, it will naturally become a loss for the Hongyin Dynasty.
It's really a good strategy, just see how the emperor responds.
Kong and De were against making peace, but helplessly, the emperor was like taking the wrong medicine, and he had to make peace with Na Wuyanguo.
I don't know what kind of calculation the concubine Yun in the palace is making?
In the past, she was the last person to designate the planning of this kind of major diplomatic affairs, but this time, she was nowhere to be seen.
I don't know if she acquiesced to this harmony, or if she just hoped that His Royal Highness Rui'er would marry far away, and she just happened to help the Hongyin Dynasty seek some benefits.
This Concubine Yun has always been unprofitable and can't afford to be early, so she said that Bai Zhiguo, and at first said that Concubine Yun liked them to play well and bought a lot of luxury goods.
They thought they were taking advantage of something, but they didn't want to work hard for only two or three years, and their farmers were eager to grow the kind of herbs that could burn Chunshanbi, but they refused to grow food.
Finally, the country of Bai Zhi fell into a large-scale famine, and the mob ran around, and even the prince was held hostage by them.
Speaking of which, it is really a powerful means to control a country through trade.
Kong Youde himself disdained these methods, but when he thought that these methods could weaken his neighbors and strengthen the Hongyin Dynasty, he couldn't say a word of accusation.
Even in my heart, I secretly admired this heroine.
Perhaps, she is the most suitable ruler of the Hongyin Dynasty.
And he has an empty male body, and he has read poetry and books for so many years in vain, but he only knows how to educate the king, and does not know how to benefit people's hearts.
Although Kong Youde didn't speak, someone couldn't help but walk out.
"Your Majesty, this is a major matter of harmony, since it has been booked, why do you need to let the princess come out in person, it is bad for the system."
When everyone looked at it, it was none other than Yao Shangshu from the Ministry of Officials.
This person has always been shrewd, but at this time he took the initiative to touch the mold, and I don't know what ecstasy soup the emperor poured into him, since the establishment of the palace school, he has become the emperor's iron loyal fan.
Everyone knows that it is always risky to come out rashly before they can see the emperor's attitude clearly at this time.
But Yao Shangshu's speech, since some people began to speculate, is it that the emperor does not want the princess to go to kiss, but he has been waiting for an opportunity to refuse.
Some people also speculate that the emperor is actually very similar to the conclusion of this alliance, after all, although the last conquest of Wuyan was said to be a victory, he did not get any advantage.
Moreover, if it weren't for the fierce infighting they had at that time, His Majesty the Emperor would not have taken advantage of the loophole.
It's only been three years, and the lord of Wuyan has calmed down the country, and he is also a capable person.
Instead of being in a state of preparation for war for a long time, it is indeed much more cost-effective to marry a princess and a relative.
But at this moment, the envoy of Wuyan Kingdom is in the court, and many words cannot be said clearly.
Therefore, even if someone guessed the emperor's heart, he did not dare to openly express his support or opposition.
They blindly lowered their heads, and when the emperor swept over with his eyes, they showed a look of "all up to the emperor's ruling".
"Kong Qing, what do you think?"
Kong Youde was suddenly named, a little surprised.
After all, in the face of such a major event, compared to those ministers with deep roots, a newcomer like himself has no weight in speaking.
But since he was named by the emperor, it seems that if he doesn't say anything, he is a little careless.
He thought about it carefully to speculate about the Sacred Heart at this time, it was better to take a good look at this matter and how to deal with it.
Kong Youde took a step forward and bowed respectfully, "Your Majesty, our Hongyin Dynasty has always paid attention to etiquette and law, and we have promised to make peace with the lord of Wuyan, so naturally we must fulfill the contract."
As for the envoy saying that he should inquire in person, I am afraid that this is not in accordance with our etiquette.
The minister thought that it was better to let the princess take a letter of resignation and let the envoy bring it back, which could be regarded as an explanation. ”
The emperor nodded when he heard this, "What Aiqing said is extremely true, the foundation of our Hongyin Dynasty for more than two hundred years has been maintained by Chongrannuo, how can there be an emperor whose words don't count."
You Wuyanguo are too underestimated. ”
When the envoy heard the Emperor's words, he seemed to have a tone of reproach, and immediately defended: "Your Majesty the Emperor, since you are a friendly relative, why can't you let the princess let me see you first?"
I don't know much about the etiquette you said, but I'm good at Danqing, please draw a small portrait of the princess, and let me take it back to restore the life of the lord. ”
Kong and De saw that the messenger had already taken a step back, so it was better to agree, and it was good that they were both faceless.
He looked at the Dan Qi, but he couldn't see the emperor's joy and anger.
Just when everyone thought that the emperor was going to be angry, he suddenly smiled, "What's so difficult about this?"
I will allow you to go to the Pavilion and draw a small portrait of the princess. ”
The messenger was so pleased to hear that he smiled in the temple.
The others were a little stunned, but they didn't dare to say anything more.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, they crowded together, slandered, it was very inappropriate to let a foreign minister go to the harem, and the emperor actually let a foreign envoy go to the harem to paint a portrait, which was even more unruly.
They said a word, I said a word, it was very lively, and suddenly I saw General Li of Jin Wuwei coming over and staring at them fiercely.
General Li deliberately said to the left and right, "Eating the heavenly family's wealth, but talking about the saint in vain, what kind of crime is this?" ”
The school officer next to him said viciously, "These shameless guys, it's not too much to hit the board." ”
When the ministers heard this, the warriors in front of the palace also chewed their tongues like this, and they raised their faces with disdain, as if they were unwilling to pay attention to them.
As they walked over, the ministers continued to spit and start talking.
"Empty talk misleads the country, what I am talking about is this group of literati, who have no idea when they encounter problems, and they know how to chew the root of their tongues.
At a critical time, we have to protect them, which is really a nest. ”
General Li couldn't help but complain, and the colonel next to him echoed: "Isn't it, you know that it's okay to chew the root of your tongue there." Your Majesty gave them a few more boards, and they were honest. ”
Then he said that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood recently, and the red envelopes given by those ministers every month were much less, and his face showed a disappointment that he couldn't hide.
Fan Hu, the superintendent who was still cultivating at home, heard the news and got up from the couch with difficulty, wanting to write a recital for the emperor.
The lady next to him persuaded him: "Last time, I vomited blood for the sake of men, this is better, what are you tossing?"
In this court, love is what you want. ”
Fan Hu shouldn't, he knows that as long as you are willing to make him good, he can be good after all. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Qingyun Claw Book House" and read it for free for the first time.
