Chapter 108 Marriage
At the top of the red vermilion lacquer gate, there is a black golden silk nanmu plaque, on which the dragon flies and the phoenix dances with three big characters: Taihe Palace.
The Taihe Hall is the place where the emperor of Yanguo deals with the government or banquet, which is magnificent and luxurious. There are no plants around the main hall, with the central axis as the line, the two are symmetrical, and before entering the hall, Bazana feels a majestic momentum rushing towards her.
She stopped in front of the hall, listened to the screams of the attendants inside, summoned the envoy of the Lu State, and then one of the attendants bowed down and invited her into the palace. She cheered up, held her head high, took out the momentum of returning with a strong victory, and stepped into the Taihe Palace.
The palace is supported by several giant red columns, each carved with a whirling and coiled golden dragon, which is particularly spectacular. It's just that her gaze did not stop at those luxurious and delicate carvings, but was sat on the golden lacquer carved dragon throne at the top of the main hall, it was a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, her face was childish, the tight dragon robe on her body wrapped her small body tightly, and the dragon crown on her head lined her white and red face even more immature.
She was full of doubts, didn't she say that Yanguo was controlled by a man? What about people?
She searched for it as she gave a simple salute to the other two messengers.
In order to better understand the situation of Yan State, Bazana and Kajia pretended to be the guards next to the envoy of Lu State this time and met with the king of Yan State together. The envoy of the Lu Kingdom was named Zhuo Yila, and he was a military advisor chosen by her mother. It is most appropriate for her to come to negotiate.
Zhuo Yila is in her Chinese New Year's Eve this year, has been to Yanguo more than a dozen times, and has a certain understanding of Yanguo. This time, I came to ask for the marriage of His Royal Highness Yan Guo, but in fact, I came to the three states of U and Kyushu in the north that were annexed by Yan Guo. Dividing the Yellow River and ruling has always been the goal of the Lu State, but firstly, the manpower of the Lu State is not comparable to the Yan State, and the second is that the first emperor of the Yan State Hui Sheng Emperor attaches great importance to the northern land, and the Lu State has no chance of sneak attack at all.
It was a good opportunity for the new emperor to ascend the throne last year, but it was only pitiful that Lu was in internal strife, otherwise he would not have waited until this year to start! But before this year, Yan Guo experienced a drought that was rare in ten years, and a snow disaster that was rare in a hundred years a year ago. This way really caught the entire Yan Kingdom off guard!
It's a pity that that hateful Xu Liuzhou is so fast! However, he led the troops to the north in half a month, and suppressed the soldiers of the Delu State without the power to fight back! The king had no choice but to send her, the eighth princess and the three of Kajia to negotiate with Yanguo.
Zhuo Yila put away her thoughts, looked up at the small figure sitting on the top of the main hall and smiled: "I heard that the Emperor of Yanguo was young, but I didn't expect to be so young!" ”
She has her own contempt, Yan is just a little south than her own Lu country, but it occupies a large amount of fertile land, the people do not have to run around for pasture, do not have to worry about what to eat for the next meal, and do not have to worry about the coming of winter, where the warm jacket is. The kid in the seat is eight years younger than himself, how can he sit on this infinite country?!
As soon as her words came out, she drew the wrath of the ministers in the palace.
Jiang Qi frowned, stared at her and said unhurriedly: "I heard that the eighth princess of Lu Guo learned to ride a horse at the age of three and learned archery at the age of five. It's not much bigger than me. ”
Zhuo Yila was stunned when she heard this, raised her head and smiled, and said loudly to Jiang Qi: "Our Lu woman was born on horseback, lived on horseback, and also sacrificed to the sky on horseback, and it is not something to be proud of when she started to learn to ride and shoot at the age of three!" ”
When Bazana heard Emperor Yan mention herself, she also raised her eyebrows slightly, saying that Emperor Yan was a baby raised in the deep palace, but now it is just a sentence, and you can know that the other party is not as useless as the legend.
Although Jiang Qi is only twelve years old, he has never been out of the palace, and he has seen what the world is. Under the teaching, under the guidance of Lu Huan, it can also be called Bogu Tongjin. What's more, Yan Guo is facing the threat of Lu State, Xiling State and others, as the emperor of Yan State, she should naturally have some understanding of her opponent.
"The women of Lu are really brave." Jiang Qi praised lightly, and then looked at Zhuo Yila lightly.
Early this morning, thanks? I discussed it with her, and when I met the envoy of Lu today, he didn't come forward, so he only asked her to deal with it. She understands that the royal brother is exercising his independent ability. She didn't want to disappoint him, she was a royal brother who was sheltering her from the wind and rain since she was a child, and even after ascending to the throne, he has been paving the way for himself. Last year's palace change and this year's new policy, he just wanted the world he took over to be more peaceful.
Now, it's her turn to protect him!
"Yanjun," Zhuo Yila waited for a while, and when she saw that the people on the throne were gone, she had to speak, "You and I are also old neighbors, and the intersection of the two countries is precious. I don't know what Yan Jun thinks? ”
Jiang Qi said according to the prepared rhetoric: "Then it also depends on what kind of goods this country is." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Kaga couldn't hold back and interjected in a lame Yan.
Jiang Qi's brows moved slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at Kajia. In the face of such people, she doesn't have to open her mouth to reprimand, some are people.
I only heard a young female officer standing in the third row snort coldly, she clasped her hands together, raised her head, and her eyes were full of disdain.
"Since Lord Zoira is here to negotiate peace, why do you want to bring a vicious dog? Haven't you had enough of it? If you don't fight enough, you'll see the real chapter on the battlefield! ”
Zoira's face froze, she glared at Kaja, and reprimanded in Lu, Kaga glanced at Bazana beside her, and saw that the latter looked calm, and it was clear that she didn't intend to intervene, so she reluctantly retreated.
"The nerves of my guard are as thick as her body, please don't take Yanjun to heart." Zhuo Yila snorted, and then the conversation changed, "Yan Jun should also know that my Lu country has always respected Yan country, especially now that I heard that the three princes of Yan country have both good looks and ability, both ability and political integrity, our eighth princess has long been in love, if you can achieve a good story, it will definitely bring prosperity to Lu Yan and the two countries!" ”
Although the civil and military forces of the Yan State and the Manchu Dynasty knew that Lu Guo had sent people to negotiate this time to come for the marriage, they were still a little surprised when they heard Zhuo Yila's blatant words, and they talked about it one after another.
Su Dingqing stood in the first row, and Zhuo Yila and the others were in the middle of her and Lu Huan. She glanced at Lu Huan, who was silent on the side, stood up from the queue, and said to Jiang Qi who was sitting on the throne: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the marriage between the two countries has indeed achieved a good story and brought peace and prosperity to the two countries, not to mention that the two countries have not had no precedent before. ”
As soon as the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu heard this, they immediately quieted down, and they all listened to Su Dingqing's later texts, and even Jiang Qi couldn't help but look at her curiously.
Could it be that Su Lao is suggesting that His Majesty agree to Zhuo Yila's request?
