The night is like a wash, and I don't know how many people with insomnia are.

"Brother, brother." Xiao Tuanzi came to Zhang Xinyi's house early in the morning.

Xiao Xi, who had been guarding outside the house, squatted down helplessly, and whispered to Xiao Tuanzi: "Little young master, the adults fell asleep very late last night when they were dealing with official business, go to breakfast first, and when the adults wake up, I will go to tell the adults, okay?" ”

Xiao Nuomi dumplings looked aggrieved, and their pink and tender mouths could hang things: "Don't, I want my brother, I don't want you." ”

Xiao Xi was about to speak, when a voice came from inside: "Let him in, I'm awake." ”

"But my lord......" Xiao Xi said unwillingly, this little young master is not the adult's own brother, how can the adult indulge him like this.

"You won't even listen to me?" Zhang Xinyi actually woke up a long time ago, she thought about a lot of things last night, and she didn't really fall asleep, so she simply got up to read, but she didn't expect Xiaotuanzi to come.

"Yes, little master, you can go in." Xiao Xi continued to make his statue.

Zhang Xinyi was half-lying at the head of the bed, neatly dressed, wearing a purple robe, with a little beads of sweat on her fair face, seeing Xiao Tuanzi pounce on her, she smiled gently: "Xiao Tuanzi, do you miss your brother?" Well? Lately, I feel like you've been heavier, what are you eating? As he spoke, he hugged her and weighed her a few times.

Xiao Tuanzi said embarrassedly: "Recently, a new chef came to the house, and I like to eat the dishes I cook, so I ...... it."

"It's really a little gluttonous cat, you like it, it's okay to eat more, but don't break your stomach." She touched Xiao Tuanzi's stomach for a while, Zhang Xinyi sighed, she was really still a child, no matter what, she ate everything and was carefree......

"My lord, the hour has come."

"Got it." Zhang Xinyi's cold voice sounded, "Little Tuanzi, be good, my brother has gone to the court." ”

Xiao Tuanzi's eyes turned red again: "Brother, come back quickly." ”

"Okay, brother come back quickly, that little group, can you go and find Sister Xiaoxiao?" Sister Xiaoxiao is a maid who has been taking care of him.

Seeing him walk out of the room step by step, Zhang Xinyi also felt a little reluctant, although they didn't get along for much, but this little doll was very annoying.

After Zhang Xinyi was ready, he took the little fox out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Xiao Tuanzi was not by Xiaoxiao's side, but stood on the roof, his eyes were not as innocent as just now, but seeping possession.

"Brother, you're mine."

After the next court, Zhang Xinyi walked to the Jiaowu case.

Everyone saluted one by one: "Greetings to the Prime Minister." ”

Zhang Xinyi said, "Please get up." Are the princes of Gu here? ”

Lord Yang was the first to reply: "Lord Hui, they will not be able to come over for a while." ”

"Sometime?"

"Yes, the people over there came early in the morning with the news that they were handing over the tribute there."

Zhang Xinyi pondered for a moment and said, "It's time to pay this year's tribute." But shouldn't they come to teach the noon case first? ”

If a small border country intends to surrender, it will pay a certain tribute to the target country every year. Rong Guo deals with this kind of thing by choosing things, and their teaching case is the place where the so-called literati play tricks. In short, it is "bargaining", what they want, and what we want, are all about passing the threshold of the Jiaowu case, and whether they can get it depends on the conditions proposed by each other.

Now they pay the tribute first, so that the people on the side of the Jiaowu case are embarrassed, and they don't dare to put forward too harsh conditions, which can be regarded as a general of our army as soon as this light country comes.

"This is exactly what makes people angry, they are too ignorant of the rules, we went to ask for it again and again, but people kept saying that the tribute was not trivial, and they insisted on sending the tribute first, and then came to us to teach the noon case, isn't this obviously trying to blackmail us?" Lord Yang, who couldn't hold his breath, opened his mouth angrily.

Zhang Xinyi snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of, they also have to have that ability." Don't be stupid and go and check what you want to use a few more times to make sure nothing goes wrong. ”

Those people had to do as they were told, and it was useless to be anxious now.

Gu Chao'an, do you want to get the fragments earlier, what do you want to do?

For a long time, Gu Chao'an led the foreign vassal delegation to the Jiaowu case.

"Xinyi? How long have you been waiting. "Gu Chao'an didn't wear red clothes today, he wore clothes with a crescent moon white color, which was much more serious than yesterday.

Zhang Xinyi sneered: "Prince Gu, you really made us wait for a long time." ”

Gu Chao'an saw that she was angry, and couldn't help but feel funny: "Xin Yi, I just went to deliver tribute." ”

"On this occasion, call me Prime Minister Zhang, Prince Gu." Then he went inside.

So what to do, only in this way will the emperor not be able to help it. Gu Chao'an sighed.

Inside the room is a long table of large cherry trees, on which are placed several pots of gardenias, and some paperwork is also stacked on the table.

The two teams took their seats and began to negotiate.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is the first time to negotiate with the envoy group on the Jiaowu case, and I hope that our negotiations between Darongguo and Qingguo will be happy." Zhang Xinyi, as the governor, was naturally the first to speak.

One after another, the people below replied, "That's nature." ”

"No one knows how long we're going to be here, and I hope we can do it quickly." Lord Yang stood up and said.

Gu Chaoan also stood up: "I don't know Rongguo's attitude? ”

"Does this Gu prince really don't know or fake don't know?" The people on the side of the Jiaowu case lowered their voices to discuss.

"Who knows?"

"Our Rongguo sent Prime Minister Zhang Cheng and Master Zhou Xiao to greet him in person, and the emperor praised the behavior of Qingguo many times at the banquet last night, can't this still show our Rongguo's attitude." Lord Yang spoke again.

Gu Chaoan smiled again: "Anyone can do these superficial skills, but if you cooperate, you must have a cooperative attitude." ”

Chengqian Palace.

You Xu dropped the teacup in his hand and was furious: "Did he really say that?" ”

The guard who delivered the message below was half frightened to death, and slowly spoke: "Yes, that's what Prince Gu said. ”

You Xu laughed angrily: "What a big breath, what do you want our Rongguo to show a cooperative attitude?" It was they who begged us for light! It's not us who are begging for them! ”

The guards had long since dared not speak.

"Keep watching."

The guard quickly replied that it was a slip of wind out of the Chengqian Palace, and touched the back of his neck by the way, it was so cool. It seems that only the Prime Minister can restrain this ancestor.

Zhang Xinyi here was also angry with this sentence, this Gu Chaoan still doesn't want to stay in Rongguo, saying such a thing, at least he has to go out of Rongguo horizontally.

If You Xu knew, it would be unimaginable.

Poor Zhang Xinyi didn't know that You Xu already knew, and he was angry. At this time, she can only ask for more blessings.

"Prince Gu, how much cooperation do you Qingguo have?" Zhang Xinyi looked directly into Gu Chao'an's eyes.

Gu Chao'an looked at her, and his tone was a little softer: "We offer a hundred colored gold yarns, a thousand pots of hundred-year-old pipa dew, and all kinds of gold and silver jewelry, is this considered sincere?" ”

This glazed gold yarn can shine both day and night, and the silver-white texture is mixed with the different light of the gold yarn, and it is rare to get one.

In the past, there was a young lady who was fortunate enough to wear this dress made of glazed gold yarn, which refused to take it off day and night, and all the ladies of the boudoir were also envious, begging the family to also want such a glazed gold yarn, but Rongguo did not have this thing, and it was difficult to find one.

"Ridiculous, don't we have gold, silver and jewelry? It's just that this glazed gold yarn and pipa dew are more precious, but they are just a few things. "Lord Yang opened his mouth to belittle in order to seek the greatest benefit. He also knew the preciousness of those two things, and at this time, he was just a swollen face and a fat man.

Gu Chao'an was not angry when he heard this, and said slowly: "The glazed gold yarn is a hundred horses that were made by the embroidery girls of a few tribesmen in the northwest desert area for ten years, and all of our light country was handed over to Rongguo, and he didn't leave a single horse." Pipa dew is made of needle grass and nectar on the dome of the snow-capped mountain, how can the preciousness be described as a mere two sons? ”

"If your Rongguo can come up with twice as much glazed gold yarn and pipa dew as we do today, then we will bow down and pay tribute again before we dare to negotiate with you."

The people on the light country side hurriedly followed suit.

"If you take it out, we will naturally lower our attitude and re-offer the tribute."

"yes, can you take it out? Say that our stuff is mere, then your stuff ......"

Gu Chaoan looked at Lord Yang provocatively.

Lord Yang had nothing to say at this time, and his face didn't know whether he was blushing or angry, so he could only sit down angrily.

Zhang Xinyi didn't know the preciousness of this thing, but just now he heard Gu Chao'an talk about it, and he also knew that Qingguo had taken out his blood this time.

She thought about it for a while, her eyes lit up, and she said to the people on Gu Chao'an's side: "Our Rongguo geography is in the middle, the climate is mostly mild, there is no extremely cold land and no extremely dry land, naturally we can't find the same glazed gold yarn and pipa dew. After a pause, he continued, "But, Prince Gu, have you heard of the Purple Mist Realm of our Rongguo? ”

"I don't know what purple mist realm is, how can she know." You Xu gritted a mouthful of silver teeth, this glazed gold yarn and pipa dew were originally things that only people in light countries had, so where did he go to find more than twice as many things as him?

"Keep watching."
