Text Chapter 117 So return the salute
Nangong Qingri's words, everyone understood the meaning: It's okay if you don't get along, it depends on what you bring out, at least you don't let me go back empty-handed.
Yun Yuhong smiled, these people are bandits and bullies, wearing the cloak of diplomatic relations and mutual non-aggression between the two countries, and forcibly demanding tribute. This Chiyan envoy came to Moyun to celebrate his birthday, and only sent a broken painting, so he wanted to take back a lot of real money and silver, and he wanted to be beautiful. Moyun has been suffering from famine for many years, the treasury is empty, and his own people can't support him, so where can he get the spare money to give away. Yun Yuhong secretly decided that this trip to Moyun was destined to leave the envoys of several countries empty-handed.
Yu Shangshu hurriedly replied: "Moyun Chiyan and the two countries have always been good friends, so it is natural to move around more, especially this time the eldest prince specially came to congratulate our emperor on his birthday, which is the greatest sincerity, the eldest prince can rest assured, Moyun is also full of sincerity." ”
Yun Yuhong smiled faintly and said: "What Yu Shangshu said is very true, the emperor of your country can endure the pain and cut his love for his father, and send his beloved famous calligraphy and paintings, and my father is by no means a stingy person, so he naturally has to do everything." ”
Nangong Qingri nodded with satisfaction, and no longer asked about the relationship.
Yu Shangshu was also very satisfied, he easily solved the dissatisfaction of Chiyan's envoys, and he also had a friendship with this great prince, and in the future, the descendants of the Yu family also had a way to expand their business to Chiyan. Of course, if Li Ziqiao's matter can be solved together, it will be more perfect for the Yu family to get a piece of the pie.
Qianzong felt bitter in his heart but couldn't say it, how could there be any silver in the treasury, would there be more taxes, the people's lives were already hard, and they had just been added last year, and they couldn't be added this year. Alas, there are still 500,000 taels of silver given by Hong'er in his hand, and it seems that he can only take it out to deal with the emergency.
Duanmu Tiancheng is worried that he can't find a good opportunity, with Chiyanguo building a bridge in front, why don't he take a move to cross the river, plus Yun Yuhong's sentence of pouring everything out, it sounds really pleasant. Duanmu Tiancheng quipped: "Mo Yun has a good relationship with Chiyan, and his relationship with my Ruifeng is not bad, so this sincerity must be comparable." ”
Mo Lingyu looked at the faint smile on the corner of Yun Yuhong's mouth, and felt a little bottomless, but his purpose was the same, it was no longer possible to be close to him, and he couldn't come in vain, so he naturally wanted to take some tribute back. Chi Yan and Rui Feng both opened their mouths, and he couldn't be left behind, so he also smiled and continued: "You mean that my Zeyu Kingdom has a bad relationship with Mo Yun?" Your Majesty, our two countries are also married for generations, last time my country's five princes failed to marry the princess of your country and returned empty-handed, this time you can no longer favor one over the other. ”
Bai Ziyu also complained in his heart, but he couldn't interject when it came to this, and he couldn't help but be a little anxious when he didn't know what Yun Yuhong was thinking.
Faced with the request of the envoys of the Three Kingdoms, Yun Yuhong was still extremely calm, and smiled at Duanmu Tiancheng and Mo Lingyu: "Although the two of you can rest assured, they are both envoys who came to celebrate the birthday of the emperor, and we naturally treat them equally, I guarantee that your return gift will definitely be the same as Chiyan's return gift." ”
Yun Yuhong walked up to Qianzong and said with a smile: "Father, the famous painting that the Emperor of Chiyan gave you is his favorite, you can't be stingy, you have to cut your love when you should cut it." ”
Qianzong looked at Yun Yuhong's smiling face, and his mind turned a few times, in the end, he was his own daughter, and he somewhat understood, at least he was very clear about Yun Yuhong's unwillingness to suffer, so he nodded and said, "That's natural." ”
Yun Yuhong continued: "Then father, you also have to give back your most beloved things to others." ”
Qianzong was a little puzzled, but still nodded and said, "Of course. ”
"Then the father, you have to give a few of us to you, and your favorite bucket of ginger mountain will be given to the monarchs of several countries." Yun Yuhong is a serious way.
Everyone couldn't help but gouge out their ears, suspecting that they had heard it wrong, the ghost princess meant to take the "bucket of ginger mountain" as a return gift? This one... This is too child's play.
Qianzong was also stupid, he thought that Yun Yuhong would give less gifts in return or even not give gifts at all, but he didn't think that she would go around in such a serious way and send a bucket of ginger to each country. This reason is very good, but I can't get this gift out of my hands.
Bai Ziyu was stunned for a while and smiled, he always felt that stingy ghosts were stingy enough, but today he had to admit that there would be subordinates if there is a master. Compared with stinginess, Yun Yuhong is still completely defeated by stingy ghosts.
Bai Ziyu has been in a state of tension since the envoys of several countries entered Beijing, and what he hopes is to send these people away with less losses, not to cause trouble, and let Mo Yun develop calmly for another three or four years. It's just that now it's obviously impossible, the princess deducted the second prince of Yuxue, set up the rule that Mo Yun would no longer be friendly, and only sent some ginger as a return gift, everything seemed to be extremely bad, he was not afraid, and he felt relieved. The matter has come to this point, how can he come happily, how can he be as free as a man.
Therefore, Bai Ziyu quickly said: "Your Majesty, what the princess said is very true, the ancients said, vote for me with a peach, repay it with a li, and the kings of several countries give each other with their beloved things, so as to show the friendship between several countries, and I am willing to ask the emperor to agree." ”
Qianzong stared at Bai Ziyu and screamed in his heart, I didn't say that I was reluctant to give up those few pieces of ginger, but are you sure that I will not die because of a few pieces of ginger? Secretly looked at the envoys of the following countries, their faces were really colorful, very exciting, and they were all so wonderful that they were scared to death, and Qianzong still didn't dare to say this sentence of agreement.
Among the envoys of these countries, Duanmu Tiancheng's face was the most ugly, think about it, his gift is the heaviest, it is a priceless coral, it is rare in this world, he specially sent someone to bring it, and it turned out to be exchanged for a bucket of ginger, he can imagine what a big joke this will be. He couldn't let that happen.
Duanmu Tiancheng snorted coldly and said: "The eldest princess is thoughtful, but you still have to keep this ginger for yourself, Ruifeng is at least a month's journey away from Moyun, I'm afraid that these gingers will break down halfway, and my father may not be able to see it at a glance, so don't bother." ”
Bai Ziyu said enthusiastically: "This is not afraid, the people of our country know a method of baking, which can make this ginger not bad for half a year, and ensure that the third prince can still eat it when he brings it back." In any case, this is a little heart, and the third prince must accept it. ”
Mo Lingyu also said on the side: "My country also produces ginger, so I really don't have to take it all the way back from Moyun, but it seems that the friendship between the two countries is nothing more than that." The eldest princess said that she would give everything and that's it? ”
Yun Yuhong said helplessly: "It's embarrassing to say it, this is really everything, the three envoys may not know, my country's treasury is now a penny, my father is worried about money every day, seriously, I have to raise the money for the three barrels of ginger for the three princes, oh, there is still one less iron bucket, add more money." ”
"Raising money, the eldest princess really likes to joke, how much money can be in these buckets of ginger, and the eldest princess can't take it? I'll give the eldest princess a little money. ”
Nangong Qingri grabbed a handful of broken silver from his arms and threw it to the ground. said that it was too late, but I saw a figure flashing, and before the silver landed, it was caught by Yun Yuhong.
Yun Yuhong smiled and said: "In this way, I will have the money to buy ginger and buckets, thank you to the eldest prince." ”
Bai Ziyu stepped forward, took the broken silver from Yun Yuhong's hand, and said: "Princess, leave the matter of buying gifts to the minister, as long as you have the silver, the minister will definitely handle it for you." ”
Yun Yuhong said politely: "Then there is Prime Minister Lao." ”
"The princess is gracious." Bai Ziyu and Yun Yuhong sang together, surprisingly tacitly, both of them had smiles in their eyes, if it wasn't for the wrong time and place, the two would have wanted to laugh.
Qianzong's face was red, and he didn't know what kind of mood he should have. Why is Hong'er's face so thick, fortunately, she has already been married to Bai Ziyu, otherwise even the princess will not be able to marry. Forgive Qianzong, he no longer dares to think about the affairs of the national court, and he has offended four countries at the same time, and his heart is already overloaded.
The other ministers didn't speak, and they didn't know what to say, the basket was bigger, and their own abilities were limited and powerless, so they could do whatever they loved.
Yun Yuhong's approach made the envoys of the Three Kingdoms also have a feeling of having nothing to say, Nangong Qingri is very aggrieved, when you want to humiliate a person but this person does not have the slightest feeling of being humiliated, can you have pleasure? The other two didn't want to say anything, Yun Yuhong was a scoundrel, and that godlike prime minister was not a good thing, and it was useless to say anything to this kind of person, so they turned their attention to Qianzong.
To be honest, Qianzong didn't want to be the focus of everyone's attention at all, his heart was panicked, and he wanted to pass out altogether. But he saw Yun Yuhong's confident and bright eyes looking at him, and his heart miraculously calmed down, it's just that, this emperor is not fast, the worst is to lose the country, and everyone will die together when the time comes.
Qianzong said to everyone: "Please prepare the gifts, and tomorrow I will serve the envoys of the Three Kingdoms." ”
The envoys of the Three Kingdoms were so angry that they threw off their sleeves and left. Qianzong announced his retirement from the dynasty, and then let Defu go back to rest. There was too much stimulation today, and he had to digest it well.
Bai Ziyu and Yun Yuhong walked side by side to the gate of the palace, Yun Yuhong smiled: "I see that you are usually serious, but I didn't expect to be so annoying." ”
Bai Ziyu looked at Yun Yuhong and said with a light smile: "Speaking of which, it was Hong'er who taught me, life is only a few years, and you can't always live according to the rules of etiquette. ”
Yun Yuhong was stunned, pulled Bai Ziyu's hand, and smiled brightly and seductively: "Yulang has become bad, but I like it." ”
