Chapter 262: Missed the Goal
Chu Huaizhong said coldly: "If it is the king who represents your country, it should also be the prince of your country to be qualified, and Her Royal Highness the princess is still exempt." ”
The interpreter said: "Princess Lisa is the prince of our country, and if there is no accident, she will become the queen of our country in the future." ”
Chu Huaizhong was stunned, a woman is the king? This kind of excuse is too lame, isn't it? But on second thought, what's the point of using such an excuse? Let the princess come to the meeting, do you want to get married?
Chu Huaizhong said: "The princess of your country can meet my emperor, but you can't let your army escort you, and our country will guarantee the safety of your princess." ”
The translator said a few more words to Jack, and then said to Chu Huaizhong: "First of all, the princess of my country is not an audience, but a meeting. Secondly, maybe Lord Chu can't understand that a young girl can become a prince, this is a cultural difference, our country respects women more, unlike you, who only see women as tools for reproduction. Therefore, if you want to negotiate, there are only two options, either our army will escort the princess to your palace, or invite your emperor to come here, please consider it. ”
After the translator finished speaking, Jack stood up directly and walked to the boat by the sea, without saying hello to Chu Huaizhong.
Zeguo, Dongfang Bin returned, and the mission went well, but the purpose was not achieved. The Dragon Kingdom did not agree to sell muskets and artillery to Zeguo, saying that if the Bear Man Kingdom invaded, the Dragon Kingdom could send troops to help expel it, but on the condition that Zeguo would pay tribute to the Dragon Kingdom.
Zedi frowned and asked, "Where did the muskets and artillery of the Bear Man Country come from?" ”
Dongfang Bin replied: "The minister did not get a clear answer, and the Xiangguo of the Dragon Kingdom only said the words 'Xiaoxiao Xing'. ”
Rexia said, "It should be a thief." ”
Emperor Ze was silent, and Li Xia said: "Lord Dongfang, my brother is now leading the army in Lingyi County, and I would like you to go and inform him of the envoy, and then discuss it in person." ”
Dongfang Bin responded: "The minister obeys the order." ”
Emperor Ze said: "Since Aiqing is going, by the way, bring my will to Uncle Guo, General Wu Renxiong of Lingguo came to vote, Uncle Guo folded up and asked how to deal with it, in fact, I have already given him the right to appoint and dismiss, Uncle Guo is still too cautious." ”
Dongfang Bin responded: "The minister obeys the order." ”
In the same way, the envoy of the Spirit Kingdom also returned to the Spirit Kingdom, and the Dragon Kingdom said the same thing to both countries, helping to expel them, and paying tribute as vassals.
As a result, Emperor Ling had no choice, and ordered Chu Huaizhong to allow the army of the Xiongren Kingdom to escort the princess of his country to the imperial city, but the number of troops should not exceed five thousand.
Dongfang Bin arrived in Lingyi County, first passed on the holy decree of Emperor Ze, worshiped Wu Renxiong as the general, and ordered Gu Du to call according to his feelings.
After receiving the order, Gu Du introduced Dongfang Bin and Wu Renxiong to each other, and then Dongfang Bin told Gu Du about the envoy.
Gu Du shook his head and said: "This will definitely not work, the bear country is a wolf, and the dragon country is a tiger, not to mention the humiliation of the ministers, it is extremely inappropriate to just lead the soldiers of the dragon country into the country." ”
Wu Renxiong said: "Then let's rob the muskets and artillery of the bear people's country, or capture one of their high-ranking officials alive and let them exchange the casting method." ”
Gu Du nodded and said, "That's the only way." ”
Then the conversation changed and asked Dongfang Bin: "Uncle Liguo is okay?" ”
Dongfang Bin was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "What's so bad about him?" What happened to him? ”
Gu Du said that Lichun wanted to marry Xiang Tianen, and then sighed: "Originally, it was a good thing to get married, but these two children were too mismatched, Xiang Qiuhe knew how to be a gift, the flowers and the moon looked, and the water was similar, but that Li Changfu was an ignorant fool, I originally wanted him to join the army and take him with him to train him, but Uncle Liguo licked the calf deeply and was unwilling to give the gift Changfu to battle." ”
Dongfang Bin sneered and said: "It's okay if this kind of person doesn't bring it, the sword is dangerous, if there is a mistake, you will be in big trouble." ”
Wu Renxiong also said: "That's it, we lead troops to fight, and we are most afraid of this kind of son." ”
Gu Du sneered and said: "What kind of son is he, if it is really a good son, he is nothing more than a blood relative to the Empress Xia, but in fact, he is a family of small people." ”
After speaking, Gu Du sighed and said: "It's just that I pity the child of Qiuhe, fortunately, the summer queen is sensible and obstructs this family business, you haven't seen it, that night the summer queen called me into the palace, and when I saw the child, I cried so much that it hurt." ”
Dongfang Bin asked, "Gu Du, doesn't the Queen of Xia want you to take a concubine?" ”
Gu Du shook his head and said: "What age am I, I have just turned fifteen, besides, the lady of the first seat of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be my concubine?" You can figure it out. ”
Dongfang Bin nodded, and Gu Du said again: "It's just that the summer queen didn't dare to let Qiu He out of the palace, for fear that Lichun would entangle her again, but Xia Hou said that she wanted to find a suitable person for Qiu He, but that child was too good to look up, and she was too delicate to do it, no matter who she was allowed to, Xia Hou was afraid that she would be wronged." ”
Wu Renxiong said with a smile: "Why don't you give it to me, I haven't married yet?" ”
Gu Du glanced at him and said, "Let's make a face, you can be a grandfather to others." ”
Wu Renxiong laughed and said, "Aren't I also distressed." ”
Dongfang Bin said: "I have seen Qiu He, and once invited me to his house to sit as a guest, and specially asked Qiu He to come out and toast me. ”
Wu Renxiong said: "That person is in love with you?" Or you take a concubine, you are the emperor's uncle, and you should not be wronged. ”
Gu Du said: "What kind of concubine does he take, he hasn't married yet." ”
Wu Renxiong was startled and said, "Haven't you gotten married yet?" Then you should marry her, isn't that appropriate? ”
Dongfang Bin suddenly reacted, looked at Gu Du and asked, "Are you specifically protecting me as a matchmaker?" ”
Gu Du said with a smile: "Qiu He said it himself, he took a fancy to you, and kowtowed to me, begging me to do my best to accomplish this, since you have also seen her, how about it?" ”
Dongfang Bin smiled dumbly, and Gu Du said, "You also like Qiu He, right?" It's just that she was still young before, but now that she is at the age of marriage, she said in person that she has taken a fancy to you, so hurry up and prepare for it, and let her father go to propose. ”
Dongfang Bin frowned slightly, and said, "It's right that I like it, but with Uncle Liguo...... I'm not afraid of him, but if I have a dislike because of this, the queen of the summer will ......."
Wu Renxiong said: "Why are you so grinding? Look at Gu Du, for the sake of his daughter-in-law, he is treason and war, you also learn from him! ”
Dongfang Bin sneered, Gu Du said: "Your worry is also right, this is also easy to do, I will write a letter by hand, you take it back to Empress Xia, let her point you two to marry, so that Lichun has nothing to say, even if he wants to trouble you, you have something to answer to him." ”
Dongfang Bin said: "Then you can write it." ”
Wu Renxiong teased: "I've been thinking about it for several years, right? Look at you. ”
