Chapter 436: Request for Peace
In order to show his spirit as a big country, although it was only a small country mission that was not well known, Murong Yu also took a look at it and held a small banquet to wash the dust for these people.
Yesterday, Murong Lin was responsible for receiving these people, so Murong Yu didn't leave the matter of holding the banquet to him, and just asked the people from the Ministry of Rites to look at it a little bit.
But the people of Mulan Country have never seen such a big banquet, nor have they come to such a magnificent palace, and for a while they only thought that it was because of their arrival that the monarch of this country attached special importance to it and specially arranged it.
For this reason, they became even more proud at the banquet, and even the hypocritical politeness when they spoke to Murong Lin yesterday was not as presentable as they pretended.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Murong Dynasty, on behalf of my lord, I would like to express our most sincere respect to you, and please drink this cup to the fullest, which also demonstrates the friendship between our two countries, which will last forever."
The one in the middle of the Mulan delegation wore a round hat and a different style of clothes from the others, and it seemed that his status in his country should not be low, so he could indeed be the representative of the lord of their country.
But even so, he can be arrogant in his own country at most, but when he goes outside, he still uses such a warm and even frivolous tone, and his speech is too unbearable to hear.
Murong Yu listened to the report sent by Murong Lin in the evening yesterday, and he couldn't believe it, but it wasn't until he saw it with his own eyes today that it was an eye-opener.
And Murong Lin sat below, although he was indignant at these people's mouths, but seeing his father show such a strange expression for the first time in his life, it still made him feel a little refreshed.
On the other hand, although Murong Yu didn't have much of a good impression of these Mulan people, he always had to maintain his demeanor and demeanor in the eyes of his subjects and outsiders.
However, what the messenger said was a bit too much, and it was difficult for people to agree, but if they did not agree, they would become themselves if they could not be said.
So Murong Yu's hand was on the table, pinching the cup, and he didn't know what to do for a while, so he only glanced at Murong Lin. Murong Lin received his eye instructions, and especially stood up with a cup to break the deadlock.
"We naturally welcome all countries that are willing to conclude friendships, and we always come and go. It's that the Mulan Kingdom has never had contact with our dynasty before, and I don't know that you have come all the way this time, but what does your lord mean? ”
Murong Lin picked up the cup and wanted to replace Murong Yu's identity and pay tribute to the envoy in the past, so as not to lose his great power temperament too much, but the envoy didn't say anything after hearing it, just put the cup back lightly, and didn't give him face at all.
"This should be the crown prince of the Murong Dynasty, it is really better to be famous than to see it. It's just that the crown prince is still the crown prince, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to speak for your monarch. ”
"I am united as one among the people, and what they want to say is what I want to say." Murong Yu chuckled lightly, and spit out a sentence lightly, which made the faces of those arrogant Mulan people change a little.
"So that's the case, then the subordinate has nothing to say." The messenger lowered his eyes as he feigned indifference, and then stood up with the two closest to him.
"But as the prince of the dynasty said, our country has always had little interaction with people, and our monarch specially ordered us to come over this time, and the emperor of the dynasty should be able to see the sincerity of our country."
"Our monarch wants to conclude a hundred years with the dynasty, and the Qin and Jin dynasties are good, so they specially ask the prince of our country to marry the princess of the dynasty. In this way, the two countries are in-laws, and the future exchanges will be ordinary, and the relationship between the two parties will not be too cold, which must be a good thing for the emperor of the dynasty. ”
When the words landed, the officials of the Murong Dynasty present at this banquet were all amused by the unashamed words of these people. And these envoys didn't know why they were laughing, and thought that they were eager to marry their own country, so they looked at Murong Yu above more and more arrogantly.
It also took a lot of effort for Murong Yu to hold back the ridicule and disdain and disgust in his heart, only took a sip of wine, put the cup down, and said lightly.
"That's really embarrassing, I only have two sons under my knees, and I don't have a daughter, I'm afraid I won't be able to marry your country."
The envoy didn't hear Murong Yu's words as a refusal, but instead came up more and more, "It doesn't matter, didn't the first emperor have a princess, since they are also the royal blood of the Murong Dynasty, our country can also be reluctant to accept it." ”
When the words landed, most of the people at the banquet couldn't stand it anymore and looked at each other. Murong Lin thought about it, the princess under Murong Si's knees seemed to have not reached the age of the bun this year, how could it be good to come out and kiss at such a young age.
Let's not talk about the interests and affinity between the two countries, whether it is feasible, if the prince of Mulan is still a young man, it doesn't matter, at least there will be no too big difference between the two, but looking at the appearance of this group of people urgently asking to marry, I am afraid it is unlikely.
"This matter is now under discussion, what does the princess of the first emperor say is also my niece, I have to ask her opinion first, it is better to go back first, and when I have news, I will send someone to inform you."
Murong Yu thought about it for a while, and probably felt that it was not very safe, so he used this delaying strategy. The expression on his face suddenly became a little indescribable, and he sat back lonely and nodded.
"It should be, it should be, the emperor of the Great Dynasty is so wise and wise, he naturally has to be thoughtful."
This banquet was just fooled around for the time being, but after the banquet dispersed, Murong Yin quietly found the embassy of Mulan Kingdom, not knowing what he was talking about.
By the next morning, Murong Yu still hadn't understood what Mulan was trying to do, and he couldn't define it, so he had to ask the officials of the court and China for their opinions to see if they had any better methods.
"In this way, most of you were also at the banquet yesterday, you can see how likely our marriage with Mulan Kingdom is."
Murong Yu lowered his eyes, rubbing a very smooth jade pendant in his hand, it seemed that he should have some plans in his heart, but he was not sure.
It's just that it's okay if he doesn't say this, as soon as he opens his mouth, many people in the court naturally immediately make a fuss, and they all want to express their opinions, and for a while, the whole early dynasty was noisy like a vegetable market.
A group of people led by Murong Lin naturally refused to agree, whether it was out of the benefit of the exchanges between the two countries, or whether it was necessary to use the marriage of a girl's family to exchange the so-called illusory friendship in the mouth of those things, this was not a cost-effective deal.
Although most of the people who echoed Murong Lin's words just wanted to beg for a well-behaved favor in front of the prince, they were still much more reliable than most people in the court who couldn't open their mouths.
It's like saying that the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, and a group of friends and officials in the court under him are all relatively calm, and they have never had much opinion on political affairs, and they are usually used to going with the flow, anyway, what they do only need to manage the etiquette exchanges, and they don't need to say anything else.
However, this group of people is already good, led by Murong Yin, as well as the henchmen of the Ministry of Shangshu, I don't know what the reason is, or they just want to contradict Murong Lin, they all expressed their support for the marriage between the two countries, but when asked carefully, they couldn't say why.
"It's good to say that people have come all the way to be considered sincere, if we cower and refuse to agree, won't it make the world laugh at us as a big country, and the situation is so indecisive?"
Murong Yin's tone was light, and it seemed that he was only echoing the words of the Ministry of Shangshu, but Murong Lin could see it clearly, which clearly meant that he had some opinions about himself.
"I have always been humanistic and clear, and I treat people with sincerity, and the etiquette is all there, where can I use others to come and give my beak, and where do I need to care about the arrangement of those who love to chew the root of the tongue? But anyone who has eyes can see it. ”
What's more, what they are asking for is the princess of the first emperor, and they are not ordinary girls. Even if they are women from ordinary families, they are also the people of our court, so they can take it if they want to. ”
Murong Lin snorted coldly in his heart, on the surface, he didn't show how much he competed with Murong Yin, but in fact, he was extremely resentful of him, a-stirring stick, and he spoke casually without knowing what was going on.
"It's just a princess, and it's not a fairy, so how do we care about people? You have to fight for the reputation of a country. Murong Yin didn't care.
At the moment when his words landed, Murong Yu suddenly slapped the armrest of the dragon chair, and roared indignantly, startling everyone in the hall.
"That's enough."
Murong Yin quickly closed his mouth, and he didn't know if Murong Yu was angry because of what he said, so it was better to pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time.
And Murong Yu will be angry, on the one hand, it is indeed because Murong Yin does not know what to do, on the other hand, it is also because of the fact that on this hall, each has its own business, and the soldiers are divided into three ways, and no one can give a clear advice, which is what annoys him the most.
Murong Yu got up and glanced at the group of ministers who were as quiet as cicadas underground, indignant in his heart, but he didn't know what to say, so he flicked his sleeves indignantly.
"Retreat."
As soon as these words came out, the nearest eunuchs beside Murong Yu shook off the dust in their hands, shouted a word, and left behind him, and the ministers of the court and the central government also breathed a sigh of relief.
