Chapter 1187: Identifying Identity
It was not because Emperor Tiansheng was dissatisfied with them and prevented them, but because their letters came too slowly, and they came too quickly, so this was the snubbing of them.
After listening to such words, it can be said that the faces of the envoys who stayed at the city gate were distorted for a moment.
In the end, Yang Que, who reacted more quickly and was able to turn all his emotions and thoughts around, stepped forward and bowed to Zhuang Mingyue, who was belated.
Then his face was still a little smiling, as if he didn't know Zhuang Mingyue at all, and there was no so-called deep hatred between him and her.
"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness the Second Princess, which is really disrespectful. This time, since His Majesty Tiansheng asked the second princess to lead us and the others, it would naturally be the best. It is true that we came in a hurry, and we were in the best time to enter the city, and we wasted an extra day and a night outside. ”
In fact, it can really be said that Yang Que's words are very clever.
In the eyes of ordinary people, it may be nothing, but anyone who is a little smarter can hear that Yang Que's words mean something in his words.
On the surface, they were indeed saying that they were at fault, because they wrote the letter too late, so they did not get permission to enter the city, and this is the time they were locked up outside the Tiansheng Dynasty for a full day and a night.
But if you carefully explore the past, it is enough to distinguish that the real meaning of Yang Que's words is actually to accuse the Tiansheng Dynasty side, if you really intend to negotiate with them, it is too rude to leave them out of this imperial city for a full day and a night.
However, Zhuang Mingyue, who couldn't tell whether she could hear Yang Que's words, always maintained that decent smile, "Since you are all still there, then this time there will be a concubine to lead you into the city!" ”
Then he brought a group of people into the imperial city.
Although Zhuang Mingyue, who was belated, did bring all of their envoys into the palace, she didn't give them any too much, the kind of treatment they imagined at the beginning.
It's just because after Zhuang Mingyue led their envoys into the palace, although they were always smiling, and they were also very gentle to them, they didn't have any coldness?
However, some of the treatment they were given was very poor, and they were not allowed to see the emperor.
Under this treatment, after three days.
In the end, there were still a few envoys who couldn't bear it, after all, in the end, what they represented this time was an island country, and they still got the hand of the emperor of the island country to come.
Then the identity is naturally considered noble, even if they are in a weak position this time, and since Emperor Tiansheng intends to negotiate with them, it is definitely not to treat them like this.
And he also put on such a face, which naturally made this group of envoys who were accustomed to living a noble life in the palace of the island country feel extremely annoyed.
It's just that no matter how annoyed they are now. And they were dissatisfied in their hearts, but because of the purpose of their visit this time, they could only press their anger in their hearts.
Seeing that although they had already lived in the palace, they took the initiative to talk to Emperor Tiansheng as soon as possible about the purpose of this visit, that is, about the negotiation between the island country and the Heavenly Dynasty.
However, for their hints, and the words of wanting to see Emperor Tiansheng, no one responded to them at all.
Even if they live in it now, it has always been useless, not only did they not see the people they wanted to see, but even the treatment they received in this place was actually no different from the cold wind blowing outside the imperial city.
It was in this situation that Yang Que, who understood in his heart that Emperor Tiansheng was deliberately making things difficult for the envoys of their island country, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally chose to take the first step and came to force Emperor Tiansheng to see them and talk to them about the negotiations between the two countries.
Instead of dealing with them in this inexplicable way.
So it was in this situation that Yang Que, who soon had something in mind over there, began to spread the news that the island country wanted to make friends with the Tiansheng Dynasty in the Tiansheng Dynasty.
In the past, the island country has always been very mysterious, but it is surrounded by the sea, so all kinds of things on the seashore are very rare and joyful things in other lands.
In addition, coupled with the affairs of the island country, some people did not know the real reason, so after knowing such a thing, many people who did not know the political affairs of the imperial court felt that this was a good opportunity, and they were discussing it silently in private.
After seeing Yang Que's method, Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu were both dismissive of it.
It's not because of anything else, it's just because Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu are too clear about the methods of this group of envoys and the purpose of using them.
In fact, it is just to allow Emperor Tiansheng to conform to the will of the people, agree to this negotiation of the island country, and be able to communicate with the other party, instead of having no intersection as at the beginning.
And the real purpose of what they are doing now is actually just to take advantage of such a so-called negotiation opportunity to open up the huge market of the Tiansheng Dynasty.
Therefore, in this case, although they knew the purpose of this, it was absolutely impossible to directly announce the wolf ambition of the island country to the world, so that all the people of the Tiansheng Dynasty could understand.
But at the same time, they can't just reject the island nation without the people knowing, so that the people will question the decision-makers.
It was in this situation that Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu on this side discussed all night.
In the end, he went to the palace and suggested that Emperor Tiansheng agree to such a negotiation with them this time, instead of deliberately using this means to continue to dry, they neither agreed nor categorically did not intend to refuse.
The method of hanging them out and not giving any response to Emperor Tiansheng is what Zhuang Mingyue mentioned and it is also something that Emperor Tiansheng agrees with in his heart, so this is what happened before.
But now that Emperor Sheng suddenly heard this, the two of them, in just a few days, changed their minds, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
Why is that? If I remember it well, wouldn't it be a bit contradictory that you two came up with this idea in the first place, and now you have me to agree to them? ”
However, Zhuang Mingyue and Long Yuanxiu, who had other ideas in their hearts, just looked at each other and smiled, and then Zhuang Mingyue turned his head to look at Emperor Tiansheng in front of him.
"Your Majesty can rest assured, this matter will be handed over to me and Yuan Xiu to solve, but now among the envoys of that island country, some people have maliciously begun to spread those rumors among the people, and it is inevitable that the society will make some people think more. Since you are a natural emperor, you should naturally care more about the opinions of the people, so it is better to take the plan and take this opportunity to conform to the will of the people to give the other party a blow to the head. ”
Emperor Tiansheng, who heard these words, also understood that Long Yuanxiu and Zhuang Mingyue actually said such words this time, which was enough to show that they already had thoughts and ideas.
It's just that since the other party didn't explain it directly, there is no need for him to ask more, as long as he can safely leave these two things to them to do.
It was under this thought that Emperor Tiansheng saw this side and nodded in agreement.
"Well, in that case, then I will promise that the two of you will leave this matter completely to the two of you to solve, and if there is any need, you can just talk to me directly."
Soon, under the plan of the two of them, Emperor Tiansheng here held a banquet to meet a group of envoys.
I don't know why, Yang Que, who has been dressed in disguise, suddenly stopped hiding it at this banquet.
And Emperor Tiansheng here also recognized Yang Que at the banquet as the one who escaped from prison before, so he couldn't help but make it difficult for her.
As for those envoys, they didn't know what Yang Que was, and now after hearing the emperor say Yang Que's identity, they were all immediately very disdainful.
Subsequently, several people began to discuss some tariff issues, and Emperor Tiansheng listened to Zhuang Mingyue's words and took the opportunity to directly issue high tariffs.
For this, the envoys of the island country who had already been ordered naturally did not agree to it, but in this case, it was only Yang Que, who was excluded by everyone, who was directly agreed, and suddenly the envoys of the island country had contradictions because of this tariff.
For such a problem, the kind-hearted Emperor Tiansheng would naturally directly give them enough time to coordinate.
Because of the problem of identity, Yang Que's words were basically ignored, and the ministers unanimously disagreed with Emperor Tiansheng's conditions.
For their kind of negotiation and cooperation without the slightest sincerity, Emperor Tiansheng naturally expressed his disagreement and did not cooperate.
However, the real purpose of this visit. It was to allow Emperor Tiansheng to cooperate and negotiate with their island country, but now they either agreed to this extremely high tariff, or they were directly rejected by the Emperor of Heaven.
During this time, this kind of envoy will be very difficult because of this.
After all, in the end, they are not the emperors of the island country, but just envoys.
