Chapter 295: King Canglan Visits
"King Canglan's trip, the most important thing is to be friendly, and now although the envoy has made a mistake, he has opened his mouth to persuade the emperor to be friendly, which is the best tool." Lu Li said slowly: "What's more, is this in the territory of Donglan, or at the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can King Canglan execute the envoys here?" Even if he really killed the envoy, he couldn't make peace. ”
According to Lu Li, the team of the King of Canglan will stay in Shangjing for a long time, and he will not leave with confidence until the matter with his relatives is successfully negotiated, and before that, he naturally has to maximize the role of the envoy.
Moreover, he guessed, this king might take his envoys to make amends for his sins in person.
After saying all this, Mao Zhiyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he bowed his hand, "In this way, Lord Huali should be safe now, so that Weichen doesn't have to worry about him anymore." ”
"Don't worry, King Canglan was able to get the throne at a young age, and he has many political achievements, he is a smart man, he must know Huali's grievances." Lu Li analyzed.
Wei Xiuyuan nodded, and immediately sat down in the chair, "So, then we don't have to worry about things after that?" That's great. ”
Hearing this, Lu Li immediately turned around with a solemn face: "Have you forgotten that King Canglan came to Beijing this time to make peace, if he can't achieve his goal, how can he leave?" The emperor is reluctant to marry the princess far away, I think, this time I am afraid that I will really choose one of the courtiers' daughters to marry. ”
"Huh?" Wei Xiuyuan got up again, "That ......"
"Forget it, these things are far from worrying about us, after all, the king of Canglan is here, and it is impossible for the emperor not to give him this face." Lu Li sighed and said helplessly.
Listening to the discussion outside the screen about the relationship, Xiao Man couldn't help but be curious, so he secretly leaned into Xia Wanrou's ear and asked in a low voice: "Sister Wanrou, if you choose one of the courtiers' daughters to marry Canglan Heqin, who should you marry?" Is it their king, or which clan? ”
She is not familiar with the vicissitudes of things, so she asks such a question.
But it happened that Xia Wanrou didn't know about the vicissitudes of the situation, she shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.
Just when the two were puzzled, Jiang Qiming suddenly got up and slowly walked outside the screen. Lu Li and the others outside were a little surprised, not knowing what the other party's intention was.
Jiang Qiming walked out of the screen, put one hand behind him, and said as he walked: "Holley once told me before that coming to Beijing this time, whether it is to be with relatives or cooperation, is a way for the king of Canglan to improve the economy of Canglan, and if he wants to find a princess with a respected status or a county lord, he just wants to borrow their hands to help Canglan." ”
"You know, whether it is marrying a princess or a county lord, the emperor will definitely send a lot of dowries to the past, and will also send a lot of maids, etc., with these people, they can establish a long-term cooperative relationship with Donglan, and if they are lucky enough to marry a capable princess, it will be twice the result with half the effort for the economic development of Canglan."
After Jiang Qiming said this, several people present suddenly became enlightened, and Wei Xiuyuan hurriedly said: "Then according to Lord Jiang's intentions, as long as this cooperation goes well, even if we don't agree to make peace, then it doesn't matter?" ”
"Wrong, wrong, wrong, where is it so simple." Jiang Qiming shook his head, and then said with a smile: "How about the cooperation, it depends on the follow-up development, and the cooperation between the two countries will take at least half a year to see results, do you want the King of Canglan to wait in Beijing for half a year?" ”
Being said by the other party, Wei Xiuyuan was a little stunned again, "What does Lord Jiang mean......"
Jiang Qiming stood still, looking out the window in the distance, his voice was a little ethereal, as if it came from a distance: "I just said it casually, you don't have to take it seriously, if the matter really reaches the moment of desperation, it is not too late to say this method." ”
After speaking, without waiting for everyone to continue to ask, Jiang Qiming said that there was still something important in his house, and walked away.
Mao Zhiyuan had nothing else to do, and seeing that Jiang Qiming was gone, he also said goodbye.
After the two left, Xiao Man behind the screen couldn't wait to come out and asked, "Is there really no other way to solve this matter of harmony?" ”
Ordinary people are still reluctant to marry in the bitter cold land of the north, let alone this pampered daughter! The emperor is still reluctant to give up the princess, but where are the courtiers willing to give up their daughters? Even though Xiaoman and those boudoir ladies didn't know each other, when they thought of it, they still felt very pity.
"These things are far from something for you and me to worry about, and the outcome of our decision will not affect anyone, so don't discuss it anymore." Lu Li waved his hand and motioned to Xiao Man not to talk about kissing anymore.
Xiao Man sighed, had to expose the topic, and continued to talk about the game.
And Jiang Qiming, who was originally here to guide them in the game, left in a hurry, and the rest of the matter could not be discussed by four inexperienced people alone, so he had to leak the previously discussed decisions first, and then dispersed and went home.
In the next few days, Jiang Qiming still did not show up, and sent someone to Jiang Mansion to invite him, but the other party said that Master Jiang was entangled in everything and had no time to go out. After a few times, Xiao Man also dispelled this idea, and had to put aside the game for the time being.
thought that if the game was put on hold, she would have time to play with Wangshu, but she didn't want to be in Shangjing, so she didn't have a chance to rest at all.
"Madam, the king of Canglan has brought his envoys to visit, and he has stopped at the door."
Xiao Man and Lu Li glanced at each other, and then sighed separately.
"Got it, I'm going to greet you." Lu Li got up and sent the little guy away, he turned to look at Xiao Man again, "You take Wangshu to the backyard to play first, and don't come out later." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Man immediately got up, with a worried face: "But you-"
Lu Li smiled, "Don't worry, I know what they're here for, you just have to play with Wangshu with peace of mind, I have my own way to deal with it." ”
After speaking, Lu Li walked straight out of the door, Xiao Man watched the other party's back gradually disappear, thought for a moment, had to obey the other party's arrangement, and took Wangshu to the backyard.
Lu Li walked out of the inner courtyard all the way, and until the main gate, he saw the king of Canglan and his envoys.
It is rumored that King Canglan won the battle for the heir at a young age and successfully inherited the throne, and later implemented various new policies to save the common people from various onerous taxes, and then carried out great reforms in the imperial court, canceling many useless official positions, and disposing of many officials who were vegetarian.
Therefore, in just a few years, this vicissitudes has developed from a small country to what it is today, and it has become a king who can feast and drink at the same banquet as Emperor Donglan.
Although Canglan is not as good as Donglan now, looking at the momentum of Canglan, it is very likely that he will catch up with Donglan one day, or even surpass. The emperor naturally took this into account, so he could only use Lu Li's name to cancel the peace in anger.
However, now that the king of Canglan has arrived in Shangjing in person, the emperor will have to talk about peace and relatives again because of his face.
Just thinking about it, the king of Canglan also arrived at the door, Lu Li raised his eyes and saw that this king of Canglan was straight, handsome and chic, a little more sassy than the Donglan man, and the Canglan costume set off, which made this king of Canglan even more eclectic.
After seeing the king of Canglan himself, Lu Li suddenly changed his previous thoughts, this king of Canglan is so handsome, extraordinary, and the lord of a country, after the princess saw him, he suddenly wanted to marry.
Thinking about it, the corners of Lu Li's mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, he bowed slightly, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty." ”
"Zhenguo Gong doesn't have to be polite." Wang Shang smiled, helped Lu Li, and then said with a smile: "Lone's sudden visit didn't disturb Zhenguo Gong, right?" ”
"Of course not, please."
As he spoke, Lu Li welcomed the king in with a smile, turning a blind eye to the envoy standing beside the king, and even deliberately showed a little disgust to him after the envoy looked at him.
All these things were seen in the eyes and remembered by the king's handmaiden.
Entering the main hall, the king naturally took a seat, Lu Li was the highest status among all the people present, plus he was the master, so he sat on the left side of the king, as for the envoys, Lu Li didn't even look at it, not even a little hypocritical politeness.
Of course, in normal times, Lu Li would never be so rude, and all of this today, including his movements, eyes, etc., was carefully made by him for King Canglan to see.
King Canglan sat on such a high place, naturally he didn't miss this good show, he smiled, "Is there any contradiction and misunderstanding between the Duke of Zhenguo and the envoys of the Contempt Kingdom?" ”
Without waiting for Lu Li to answer, the envoy knelt down first, slammed his forehead on the carpet in the center, and his shoulders trembled: "It's the minister who is guilty, it's the minister who offended Zhenguo Gong by not thinking about it, all of this is the minister's fault, not that Zhenguo Gong misunderstood the minister." ”
"Lone is asking the town Guogong." Wang Shang suddenly smiled, and his face was displeased.
"If the king insists on asking me, then I will answer, but I have always been straightforward, and I will not beat around the bush, and some words are too hurtful, and I hope that the king will not blame him." Lu Li smiled, and didn't even look at the envoy on the ground.
King Canglan had long known that Donglan had a lot of etiquette, so he didn't care about Lu Li's words, and thought it was his polite words, so he smiled and said: "Zhenguo Gong said that it doesn't hurt." ”
Lu Li cleared his throat, and finally landed his gaze on the envoy on the ground, but his voice was still cold: "I do have some contradictions with the envoys of your country, but this has nothing to do with the Canglan country, it's just that I can't get used to the envoys who deceive their superiors and subordinates, and are self-confident and self-reliant." ”
As soon as these words came out, the ministers trembled more and more, and King Canglan was also a little surprised, and his face was a little unbearable.
Who would have thought that this Lu Li is really so straightforward.
