Chapter 317: Hospitality

Everyone reacted, and with the status of the emperor, except for the emperor, the prince and the first-class officials, they all had to make a big salute when they saw it.

Although he was not convinced in his heart, the rules could not be broken, and the ministers waiting at the palace gate immediately followed and saluted, and for a while, except for a few people, they all bowed deeply to the end.

Non-special occasions, there is no need for them to bow down, but the school palace is completely under the jurisdiction of the emperor, the emperor is the absolute authority, and the first time the two emperors appear in front of people, they naturally want to build momentum, so they pass the bow ceremony.

The two Xie Ling brothers followed behind, and they had to sigh, sometimes the identity is really very useful, no matter how dissatisfied these people are, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they have to bow their heads.

The four of them dismounted, and said in a deep voice, "Don't be polite, you can do it yourself." ”

Only then did everyone get up and look up at the two of them carefully, in addition to being different from the previous outfits, the two of them actually had an aura that matched the identity of the emperor.

It was the kind of dignity that had never been seen in the two of them before, and at a glance, it was that they had been in the top position for a long time, but they were not dominating.

King Ye and several other princes maintained a tacit silence.

Everyone understands in their hearts that the two of them appeared, probably for the sake of business, they have been in Beijing since April, and now it is November, so long without showing a flaw, so patient, it can be regarded as qualified.

Ordinary young people, how can they stand the power of raising their arms and shouting, and the power of 10,000 people in response has already put on their identities. The two of them can endure until today, planning for the Chu State behind their backs for so long.

Naturally, the two of them will not stand stupidly and let others look at them.

Passing through the crowd and walking to the palace gate, the people from the school palace immediately followed.

The subordinate official shouted, "The emperor has arrived, and he has not opened the palace gate yet." ”

The people above the palace gate building looked down, confirmed their identities, didn't dare to slack off, waved their hands, and asked the people inside to open the door.

Many people want to ask the emperor how he wants to deal with this matter, but Sister Xie Yan's temper is considered again, she shouldn't want to deal with people, and the twilight is even less talkative, so it is estimated that she can't inquire about anything.

In the past, everyone thought that she relied on the Xie family to have no scruples, but she didn't expect her own identity to be beyond everyone's imagination, those who were beaten, it is estimated that they should be happy, and in the future, the two of them will not be able to mess around with their identities in the future, and they will have a good martial arts, and there is no use for martial arts.

In view of the previous actions of the two, everyone couldn't figure out what they were thinking, so they all thought abnormally.

Everyone spontaneously divided into two columns and followed them into the palace gate.

Many people have walked this road many times, but this time the feeling is different, I don't know which direction the two young people leading the way in front will lead Chu Guo.

In today's situation, can the two of them make the right decision?

Along the way, there was silence.

The four princes also have their own ideas, they have long guessed that the emperor is in the capital, but they didn't expect it to be the two of them, no wonder they know so much about the situation in Beijing, and they can make various preparations in advance to deal with various changes.

It's just that they didn't expect Lian Jin to play his cards so unreasonably this time.

When the two appeared, someone had already run to report to the emperor.

Because the two of them entered the palace gate in advance, the emperor had just gotten up, and when he heard the news, he first sighed, and then laughed, "Very good, very good." ”

Everyone has eyes to help the emperor get ready.

When the emperor arrived at the main hall, the court hall was already standing neatly, and in front of the four kings, there were still two emperors, and their faces were not unfamiliar.

"It's you two, sister, you've been hiding from me for a long time. ”

Sister Yan said, "The time was not right before, we can just do some small things behind the scenes, if we don't stand up at this time, we will waste everyone's expectations." ”

The emperor said, "You have your reasoning, you also know what happened yesterday, I have a headache, since you are here, there must be a way, and this matter will be handed over to you." ”

Tian Shen said, "Your Majesty rest assured, the Shang Kingdom is just taking humiliation on itself, and I only hope that Your Majesty will support our decision." ”

"I'm naturally supportive, let them in. ”

The courtiers thought to themselves, it is really unconditional trust, and today I want to see the ability of the two.

"Chuan - Shang envoys enter the palace - "

When the envoys of the Shang State came in, they were attracted by the forefront of the courtiers at first sight, and then carefully observed the clothes and ornaments of the two, and guessed the identities of the two.

"Liang Hong (Chen Song), the envoy of the Shang State, has seen Emperor Chu. ”

"Please get up. ”

The man stood still, about to speak.

Then I heard my sister Yan ask, "Are you an envoy of the Shang Kingdom or an envoy of the crown prince Lianjin?"

The envoy said in his heart, wanting to lead us into the trap, the means are still too tender, "Naturally, he is the envoy of the Shang country." ”

"That is, all the decisions you put forward were negotiated by the Shang country?"

The man's eyes rolled, "The whole Shang country obeys the prince's orders." ”

"Oh, I see, did Emperor Shang also listen to the prince's orders?"

"Your Majesty doesn't ask about political affairs. ”

Tian Shen continued, "That is to say, everything is the will of the prince, not the will of the Shang Emperor, not the will of the Shang State." ”

The envoy said, "What is the purpose of the two of you entanglement in this matter?" ”

Sister Yan said, "Then let's not dwell on this matter, let's talk about your mission, the matter of Shang Guo's compensation to Chu State." ”

The man said, "This matter is not my task, I have come to negotiate with the State of Chu about the repurchase of the five cities that originally belonged to the State of Shang." ”

Tian Shen said, "How do you remember that the letter of state of Shang wrote that you were sent by Lian Jin to deal with the matter of compensation." ”

"They are behind us, and we have been sent by the prince to discuss the purchase of the city. ”

The court of Chu State was in an uproar, Chu State waited patiently for so long, and Lian Jin did not have any sincerity at all, playing this kind of trick.

Compared with wanting to compensate and force Chu State to hand over the five cities, not to mention the value of the five cities, this matter is a slap in the face of Chu State, wanting to trample Chu State under his feet.

Sister Yan turned her eyes, and looked at the envoy of Shang Guo coldly, without a trace of warmth, "Such a big event, Shang Guo has not even mentioned a word before, let alone the national letter, this seat suspects that you are liars in the name of Shang Guo, swaggering and deceiving." ”

Immediately, a minister agreed, "What the emperor said is right, they are afraid that they are liars, and they have deceived my Great Chu court." ”

Tian Shen didn't say much to him, and directly ordered, "Tie them up, pull them out, and Ling Chi will be executed." ”

Those people naturally didn't expect that these two were also masters who played cards out of common sense, and they were so strong, counting the various reactions of the Chu State, but they didn't count this.

The Praetorian Guard had already come in with his sword in his hand to arrest someone, and the man was busy struggling, "I am really an envoy of the Shang Kingdom, and I have evidence." ”

Tian Shen said, "You'd better have enough evidence. ”

The man hurriedly took out a golden token from his arms, and everyone saw that it was the order of the prince of the East Palace.

Sister Yan said, "Prince Ling, you are just a subordinate of the prince, and you dare to call the name of an envoy of the Shang State, are you buying a city for Lian Jin?"

"We are the prince's vassals and the envoys of the Shang Kingdom. ”

"Can you call the shots?"

"It's just a discussion, does the Chu State only have such a mind?"

Sister Yan glanced at him, "You don't need to evaluate the mind of the Chu State, since you want to buy the city, how much to bid." ”

When the man heard it, he said, what?

Someone in the courtiers immediately wanted to speak, but was stopped by the person next to him.

"What does the emperor mean. ”

Tian Shen frowned, his momentum had risen, as if he was going to be dragged out and executed in the next moment, "Answer whatever you ask, can't Lian Jin's subordinates understand the words?"

The man was afraid of the ruthlessness of the sky, so he had to say, "The prince said, let the Chu State make the offer, and the two countries will discuss it again." ”

The corners of Sister Yan's mouth curled, but everyone only felt that the cold wind was blowing, "Then you listen well, they all say that an inch of mountains and rivers is an inch of blood, when the Shang State invaded my Great Chu, the Great Chu raised troops to resist, and the five cities were exchanged for the blood of my soldiers by my Great Chu, life for life, blood for blood, we lost 200,000 troops that year, and today I asked Lian Jin to ask Cui Jie's 400,000 heads of the Pingchang army, none of them can be missing." ”

The man only felt that it was appalling, and he was still lucky, but now he saw that she said that she wanted 400,000 heads, but she didn't blink her eyes, and her heart was cold, these two emperors were ruthless characters.

Not only the people of the Shang Kingdom, but also the people of the Chu Kingdom were also taken aback, and the people who were still suspicious were glad that it was not themselves who stood on the opposite side of her.

It is said that the two countries are at war and do not kill the envoys, these two, one is to use the excuse to want to put the envoy Ling Chi to death, seize the opportunity, and the other opens his mouth to ask for 400,000 heads to deter them.

Only Xie Ling couldn't help but want to laugh, 200,000 asked people to exchange 400,000 yuan, and the interest was calculated.

King Jun looked at her sister who was much more fierce than usual, and her irrepressible heartbeat accelerated, and the person who wanted to stand side by side with her was herself.

King Ye only felt that such sharp words and no concessions were the momentum that the Chu State, which was known as the first of the Five Kingdoms, should have, whether it was his father or himself, he thought too much and worried too much, and her sharpness must be a little inferior.

The man broke into a cold sweat and forced himself to calm down, "The emperor is joking, how can human lives be traded? ”

"Oh, can't human lives be traded? Don't you want to buy back the five cities that I bought with the lives of my soldiers that day? ”

"The emperor is so talkative, this is impossible, the emperor should make a serious offer. ”

Sister Yan said, "I have already made an offer, and blood can only be exchanged for blood." ”

Tian Shen also said, "Where do you get your confidence, we will tolerate you being so rude, and we will let you play tricks." ”

"The emperor misunderstood, the territory of the Shang State is the foundation left by the ancestors, and it has been in exile for many years, and the Shang State just wants to negotiate with the Chu State and get it back. ”

Tian Shen was too lazy to entangle with them, so he turned to the emperor and asked, "I think that another 300,000 troops should be transferred to Xiyuan. ”

Sister Yan said, "Since you want to transfer, you will mobilize 400,000, and since the Shang Kingdom has torn its face, there is no need to save face." ”

The emperor didn't know why they were so confident, remembering the hint they gave before, hoping that he would be self-controlled, so he said with a serious face, "Since both of you think that you can transfer troops, then I will allow it, and this matter will be handed over to you, and the matter of transferring troops is all up to you." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Sister Yan turned around and said, "Although the envoy has bad intentions, my Chu State can't be rude, come and send the envoy to the post house to entertain you." ”
