Chapter 377: Southeast Envoy

Nan Guying said: "Now that Dongning is recruiting troops and horses, Nanyi has always closed off the country and not contacted the outside world. I've heard that Dongning has repeatedly expressed the alliance's intentions to Nanyi, but Nanyi has never answered. While we are deploying, they are also thinking about finding out our next move, if we make a move against Beiling at this time, it will inevitably cause a backlash. ”

Sima Hongyan nodded and said: "The attack on Xiyue was the first time they invaded us, and the division is famous. We have to be extra careful about the next move of the other countries, because if we don't handle it well, we will force them together, and I thought about this, so I didn't make any other moves for a long time. During this time, several other countries have become frightened birds, and I just took advantage of this time to train my troops and consolidate national affairs. Wouldn't it be good to have our marriage done by the way? ”

Nan Guying smiled and poured a glass of wine for herself and Sima Hongyan, and said, "Why did our marriage become a matter of convenience?" ”

Sima Hongyan smiled like a flower, touched the cup with Nan Guying, and drank from each other.

After eating something, the two drank tea again, chatted and talked, and whispered a few sweet words to each other from time to time, and the intimate appearance was no different from ordinary young boys and girls in love.

The two chatted happily, and before they knew it, it was late at night, and Sima Hongyan saw that Nan Guying didn't have the slightest intention of going back, so he said to him: "It's late, go back to sleep early." Tomorrow I have to entertain the Beiling brothers and sisters, and I will send you out. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and pulled Nan Guying out, Nan Guying suddenly pulled his hand, hugged Sima Hongyan into his arms, and whispered in her ear: "Do you want me to go back?" ”

Sima Hongyan blushed and leaned on Nan Guying's chest, and said faintly: "Of course I don't want you to leave!" Suddenly, he broke up from Nan Guying's arms, pushed him out and said, "It's a pity that I don't feel well tonight, girl, you better go back and sleep honestly!" ”

The next day, Sima Hongyan took Han Miaoqi's brothers and sisters to walk around the palace and enjoy some beautiful scenery in the palace, and then handed over the hospitality to Shi Jinyan and Li Siyu.

After staying in Yanling for a few days, Han Miaoqi was completely attracted by the prosperity and splendor of Yanling, and Sima Hongyan simply arranged Li Siyu out completely to be responsible for entertaining Han Miaoqi's brothers and sisters. Han Xuefeng urged this ninth sister to return to Beiling several times, but Han Miaoqi had no intention of going back, but really wanted to stay and participate in Sima Hongyan's wedding soon after.

Especially these days, accompanied by Li Siyu, Han Miaoqi and him have a very happy conversation, and the two really have a feeling of seeing each other late.

A few days after the two brothers and sisters of Beiling arrived in Yanling, Sima Hongyan received a news that Dongning and Nanyi unexpectedly sent envoys to Yanling at the same time, the reason was that the Feng lord was married, and he came to send congratulatory gifts on behalf of the emperor of his country.

This weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, and he must not have a good heart. But he couldn't stretch out his hand and not hit the smiling person, and it was not good to refuse directly, after getting the news, Shi Jinyan hurriedly came to Sima Hongyan to discuss countermeasures.

For the Three Kingdoms to send envoys to visit Yanling at the same time, this is an unprecedented thing. Sima Hongyan convened the ministers to discuss together, and let the ministers share their opinions.

The older ones strongly demanded that Dongning and Nanyi envoys not be allowed to enter the customs, and these people were wolf and ambitious, who knows what the idea was, and it was still not good.

However, some young officials who have just taken office think that since the other party politely comes to congratulate and give gifts, turning them away is obviously a sign of fear and a loss of national integrity. What's more, Lord Feng has just taken the land of Xiyue, which is an opportunity to show his national strength to the outside world.

The two sides have their own opinions, arguing endlessly, and some honest and serious ministers do not say a word, standing aside to watch the excitement, and asking them is also ambiguous, neither side can be offended, and they belong to the kind of old slippery head.

In fact, this situation was expected by Sima Hongyan as early as possible, if it was up to the ministers to solve the problem, it would be simply a fantasy, these people usually deal with some small things, but when it comes to major events, they still can't afford it.

In the end, Sima Hongyan still had to gather the people closest to him to discuss countermeasures. Needless to say, the opinion of her sisters and friends was to let the envoys enter the customs and come to the capital, since the envoys of the Northern Spirit came, how could they not let the envoys of other countries come?

In fact, Sima Hongyan had already made up her mind to meet the envoys of the other two countries, and she just wanted everyone to help analyze what it meant for these two countries to send envoys at the same time. Is it a coincidence? Or has it been agreed a long time ago?

Now the situation in the Central Plains is very delicate, Yanling is in the limelight, pro-north and extinction of the west, and there is a great momentum to compete for the world. However, Sima Hongyan understood in his heart that it was all a superficial phenomenon, and Yan Ling was not strong enough to fight whoever he wanted. On the contrary, if there is another war, neither money nor grain and grass will be enough to support the consumption of war.

Speed warfare can be used against the West Vietnam, and that is because the West Yue Dynasty is mediocre and has an opportunity. The same way we deal with other countries in dealing with West Vietnam will not be effective at all.

In fact, this time, Dongning and Nanyi sent envoys to Yanling, and the biggest purpose was probably to come to Yanling to find out the truth of Yanling, just to see Sima Hongyan's attitude towards them, which everyone can imagine without guessing.

Judging from the letters of visit submitted by the two countries, the envoys sent by these two countries are all first-class ministers of the current dynasty, which can be regarded as polite. However, Sima Hongyan didn't think so, Bei Ling came to a prince and a princess, but the two countries only sent a few ministers, obviously with contempt.

And according to the letter of visit, he even wanted to meet His Majesty Lord Feng directly. Since the other party is clever, Sima Hongyan is not polite to them, and when it comes to strategy, Sima Hongyan really doesn't take the other party's pediatrics seriously.

Sima Hongyan directly issued an order to allow the envoys of the two countries to enter Beijing. However, after entering the customs, the convoys of the two countries must be under the strict protection of the Yanling army in the capital, and after arriving in the capital, clothing, food, housing and transportation will be arranged by Yanling. Feng Zhili said that now that the war has just ended, it is not safe everywhere, and Yanling is responsible for the safety of the envoys of various countries.

This will is understandable, and after it was transmitted to the border gates, the envoys of the two countries agreed without even thinking about it. As a result, as soon as they entered the Yanling Tomb, the envoys of the two countries understood what it meant to be responsible for their safety as stated in Lord Feng's will.

This is to greet the envoys, and it is clearly to escort the prisoners.

Since the envoys entered the customs, almost everyone's movements were under the control of the Yanling army, and even when they went to the latrine, there would be two guards guarding the door. The degree of attention made the envoy team nervous, as if there was really chaos in Yanling, and they would encounter thieves and robbers at any time.

This is not too light, after all, it is for safety reasons, although it is an exaggeration, but it can also be said. However, the other rules after entering the city made the envoys of the two countries a little unbearable.

For example, the diet along the way, it is really that every meal must be accurate to the extent of a grain of rice, one less bite is not good, no more one bite, and the daily meal quota must be excessive. These ministers are all pampered and accustomed to people, where they can stand these harshness, and they began to complain more than three days after entering Yanling, and the Yanling soldiers who can protect say that Yanling is now short of money and food, and they must be diligent and thrifty from the inside out, and the share of entertaining the envoys has exceeded the previous plan.

If you can't endure eating, you can't hold on to it, but it's nothing. What made the envoys unbearable the most was the pain of running around every day. Since entering Yanling, I have to complete the planned journey every day, and the post house where I stay at night is also arranged in advance, and everything must be strictly implemented step by step, and there can be no mistakes.

As soon as the morning dawned, the convoy was about to set out, all the way to the next foothold, and the messengers had already been tossed up and down when they sat in the car, but the speed could not be slowed down, because if the speed was delayed, they might have to sleep in the wilderness at night, and the sin would be even greater. Therefore, although the envoys had grievances, they all endured it, and secretly thought in their hearts that when they saw your phoenix master, they had to seek justice back!

In this way, for more than ten days, those fat-headed, fat-brained, and oily messengers were all tossed and thinned, and their faces were haggard and listless. They have only one wish in their hearts, that is, they are looking forward to walking to the capital of Yanling as soon as possible and ending this hard journey as soon as possible.

finally came to the capital, and the envoys of the two countries were arranged to live in the post house. Fortunately, the Feng Lord let them rest first, and did not rush to summon them, and the envoys also took this opportunity to make up for their sleep, ate more, and slowed down for three days in a row, and their physical strength and spirit were relieved.

I thought it was almost time for the Phoenix Lord to summon him, but who knew that the Phoenix Lord said that the envoys had come from afar and had worked hard all the way, and they had to rest for a while, so this rest made the envoys stuffy in the post house for half a month.

In the past half a month, the food has improved, but the envoys are not allowed to leave the post house for half a step, and the entire post house is surrounded by Yanling soldiers. The envoys went to the guards to theorize, and the soldiers' answer was that the Feng lord said, the envoys are noble, and they are afraid of being disturbed by the ordinary people on the street, and it seems that Yanling lacks courtesy, so it is important to protect the safety of the messengers.

When asked when the Phoenix Lord would be able to meet with their envoys, the soldiers replied that it depended on the Phoenix Lord's arrangement. The main phoenix is too busy, so he can only wait a few more days, and when the phoenix lord is not busy, he will send someone to invite the envoys.

At this time, these envoys finally understood that the Feng lord didn't take them seriously at all, and they didn't say anything about them all the way, and they also threw them in the post house to dry, just to make fun of them. Angry and helpless, the envoys had no choice but to repair their books and return to China, and reported back the experience of the envoy to Yanling.

And during this time, Sima Hongyan was really busy, busy arranging a new house with Nan Guying.

Although Sima Hongyan got married this time, she is the empress of Yanling, so naturally she can't be said to be going out. For the wedding ceremony of the first empress of the Central Plains, it really took a lot of brains from the Ministry of Rites.

In the end, with the consent of Sima Hongyan and Nan Guying, the issue of marriage at the wedding ceremony was simply not mentioned, and the ceremony was just done. The rest of the red tape is also simplified, and now everyone in the world knows that Lord Feng is the person who hates trouble the most, and there are too many rules, which makes her angry.

The new house was in Fengming Palace, and Sima Hongyan didn't let the Ministry of Rites arrange it according to any old rules, but discussed it with Nan Guying, and arranged it completely according to their ideas.

said that it was the two who discussed, but in fact, it was basically Sima Hongyan who took the idea, no matter what ideas Sima Hongyan put forward, Nan Guying's reaction was to say "yes", and then looked at his fiancΓ©e who was busy jumping up and down with a doting face.
