Chapter 249: Response
Qianqian . , the fastest update of the latest chapter of the concubine!
Emperor Cheng saw her in the side hall behind the Taihe Palace, next door is the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, Bai Susu knelt on the ground, her vision could only see a corner of bright yellow color in front of her.
"You're the one who unveiled the emperor's list?" Emperor Cheng's voice was low, just an ordinary inquiry, but with a faint majesty, it was a kind of majesty accumulated over the years.
Bai Susu was shocked to find a layer of cold sweat on her back, she took a deep breath, and secretly told herself not to be nervous, "It's the grass people." ”
The four words are articulated clearly, and the tone is also steady.
Emperor Cheng couldn't help but glance at her more, and said, "Raise your head." ”
Bai Susu clenched his fingers in his sleeves, raised his head when he heard the words, and immediately lowered his head after only looking at Emperor Cheng, although he was still nervous in his heart, his face was even calmer than just now.
When she was particularly nervous, her face was unusually calm, in her own words, she was in danger, and Tarzan collapsed in front of her without changing her color. In Lord Lu's words, he was scared stupid and didn't know how to react.
Anyway, her calm appearance has always been very capable of bluffing, and those who don't know think she is so calm.
She was also the first time she met the ruler of this country, the supreme man. Nearly sixty years old, well-maintained, only in his early fifties, with some white temples. If it weren't for the fierce color in those eyes, he would be more like an ordinary old man.
Emperor Cheng looked at the young man in front of him, and he was more suspicious.
This young man is thin and short, and he doesn't look like a well-educated person, but the three problems raised by the envoy of Yinan have stumped the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, can this person solve them?
Emperor Cheng is considering, and Bai Susu is also considering, how does she mention the matter of the Lu family, will Emperor Cheng agree.
"You said you could solve the problem raised by the envoy of Yinan, but is it true?"
Bai Susu nodded, and his tone was calm, "Back to the saint, these three difficult problems can be solved." ”
"Why should I believe you?" Emperor Cheng obviously didn't believe it.
"Holy Lord, do you have any other way than to believe in the grass people now, today is the ten-day period, if you can't solve those three problems, the Holy Lord will agree to Yinan's request to exempt him from paying tribute for three years." Bai Susu straightened his waist, his eyes drooped slightly, and he said in a voice unhurriedly, "Yinan has a special location, in the back of Dayu, if they are given three years to recuperate, they will definitely be strong and strong after three years, and once something happens to the side, Yinan will definitely take the opportunity to attack our rear, so that we can't take care of the front and back." ”
Emperor Cheng's expression suddenly turned cold, and the fierceness in his eyes seemed to turn into an inch of sharp blade, roaring towards Bai Susu, who was kneeling on the ground.
Bai Susu also noticed the change in Emperor Cheng's expression, but she pretended not to know, and continued, "Yi Nan's entry into Beijing this time, under the banner of friendship between the two countries, is actually a wolf's ambition, and those three questions are also clearly difficult for us. ”
"Who told you that?" Emperor Cheng asked.
"These are all things that Xiaomin himself came up with. Nowadays, the people of Dayu are peaceful, the people are rich, but the land of Yinan is barbaric everywhere, and many people are still living a life of drinking blood, they are jealous and envious of us, so although they have surrendered to us on the surface over the years, it is too obvious what they have in mind. ”
After saying this conversation, Emperor Cheng already believed a little, how could an ordinary person see the intention of the envoy to Yinan so thoroughly.
"Since you know that the stakes are high, you should also understand that if you can't answer or answer incorrectly, do you know the consequences?"
Bai Susu nodded, she knew this very well, "The grass people know, if they can't answer, the grass people are willing to die." ”
Emperor Cheng didn't speak directly, but waved her hand to go out first and wait, he was hesitating, this matter was very important, he didn't know whether to believe the person in front of him.
Bai Susu got up and retreated to the door to wait for news.
After waiting for someone to go out, Emperor Cheng looked at Wang Dezi, "Do you think it's credible?" ”
Wang Dezi hurriedly lowered his head and stepped forward and replied, "According to the meaning of the slave, since the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have no way to answer the question, it is better to let this white prince give it a try." ”
Bai Susu waited at the door for a short time when there was movement inside, and soon Wang Dezi came out and let her into the house.
Emperor Cheng had already changed his clothes in the house, and they went to the Taihe Hall together.
Inside the Taihe Palace.
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military sub-stations on both sides, all whispering something, Bai Susu followed Emperor Cheng into the door, and as soon as she walked into the hall, she sensitively noticed dozens of pairs of eyes looking at her. There is scrutiny, curiosity, and playfulness.
Bai Susu almost subconsciously looked in the direction of that line of sight, but there were too many people in the hall, and she took a cursory glance but didn't see anything.
After Emperor Cheng sat down, the ministers of civil and military affairs knelt down and saluted, and after the ceremony, Emperor Cheng asked the ministers to get up, and then Bai Susu stepped forward.
"Today, this person is the one who unraveled the imperial state and said that it can solve the three problems of the envoys of Yinan, what do the ministers think?"
Someone unveiled such a major event as the emperor's list, and the officials naturally received the news, and when Emperor Cheng heard it, they all expressed their opinions.
The views are very unanimous, and they all persuade Emperor Cheng not to let this unknown person deal with the envoy of Yinan.
Bai Susu stood in the hall with her head down, she listened to the words of these ministers, and really wanted to sneer, you can do it.
"This person of the minister's view has no real talent and real learning, but he went to deal with Yinan's envoy and worried that he would insult the majesty of my Celestial Empire." An unknown minister spoke.
Soon everyone else chimed in.
The more Bai Susu listened, the more he felt that this was ugly, a group of guys who judge people by their appearance.
She looked up at the minister who had just spoken, and said lightly, "Listening to this adult's tone, he must have already solved the difficult question raised by the Yinan people?" ”
The man choked, and his face suddenly became a little unsightly, "This ......"
Bai Susu smiled without speaking, and this smile made the official's face scornful.
"Holy Lord, the grass people have something to say." Bai Susu suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily towards Emperor Cheng.
Emperor Cheng was slightly surprised, but still asked, "You say." ”
"The grass people know that the ministers of the court and the central government do not believe that the grass people can answer the three problems of the Yinan people, and now the grass people are here to promise that if the grass people can't answer, they are willing to die and apologize. But if the grass people answer it, please ask the saint to promise the grass people one thing. After she said this, she knelt on the ground and waited for Emperor Cheng to speak.
"What do you want?" Emperor Cheng asked.
"The grass people haven't thought about this yet." Bai Susu replied.
Emperor Cheng thought it was interesting, no one had ever made such a request to him, he looked at the third prince who had not spoken, "Zhang'er, what do you think about this matter?" ”
"Back to my father, according to my son's humble opinion, it is a good idea to send this Bai Su to deal with the Yinan people." The third prince stepped forward, he glanced in Bai Susu's direction, and then turned back to Emperor Cheng to answer.
Bai Susu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this voice, and almost subconsciously looked up, and his eyes collided with the eyes of the third prince.
Xiao Pingzhang!
Bai Susu was stunned for a short time in his heart, and quickly lowered his head again, he didn't expect them to meet again in such a situation.
"What does Zhang Er mean by this?" Emperor Cheng asked.
"If he solves the three problems, it will be better for the people of Yinan to know that the problems they think are only for ordinary people to solve. If he can't answer it, we can naturally send another person who is well-educated. The third prince said his thoughts, and Emperor Cheng thought about it a little and felt that it made sense.
"Okay, I promise you, if you can answer the three questions raised by the Yinan people, I will promise you one thing."
At this moment, Wang Dezi walked into the hall quickly, and whispered something beside Emperor Cheng, Emperor Cheng frowned, and said, "Let them come in." ”
Wang Dezi was ordered to preach loudly, "The Holy Lord Xuanyi came to the south to enter the temple. ”
Soon three men walked in, all dressed in brightly colored satin clothes and with exotic hairstyles, all three of whom looked like they were untouchable.
After entering the hall and saluting, the man at the head was called Matthews, and he smiled and said to Emperor Cheng, "Your Majesty, may I ask which minister you are going to send to answer our question." ”
The matter has come to this point, and Emperor Cheng also knows that he can only be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and at this time, none of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty dare to speak.
Seeing this, Bai Susu took the initiative to speak, she smiled and said, "I will answer these questions for a three-year-old child, so I don't need to take action from all the adults, this time I will answer your questions." ”
"Who are you?" Matthews saw that she didn't look like a minister of the DPRK and China, and she was wearing ordinary people's clothes, so she was a little confused for a while.
"I am an ordinary person in Dayu, Bai Su." Bai Susu replied with confidence, since he pretended to be a man, he naturally couldn't use the name Bai Susu anymore, and she didn't bother to change her name, so she reduced her name by one word.
Seeing this, Emperor Cheng's eyes flashed with appreciation, not to mention whether he could answer the question, but this indifferent bearing is worth a glance at.
Matthews shrugged, he didn't care who answered the question, all he needed was to bring back the results of the three years of tribute.
"In that case, let's ask Bai Gongzi to start." Matthews waved his hand as he spoke, and immediately two people walked into the main hall carrying potted plants.
Inside was a half-human-tall green plant with fist-sized red fruits.
"May I ask if Bai Gongzi can recognize this fruit and what is it used for?" Matthews' first question was about this strange red fruit.
Bai Susu quietly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this thing, the first question of the Yinan people was the same as she remembered. It is normal for no one to know this fruit now, because this thing is not a species of Dayu at all, it was discovered by the Yinan people in the mountains by chance, this is a kind of food, called red persimmon, which is still very rare, but a few years later, it has become a vegetable grown in every household in Dayu, which can be eaten raw or fried.
The Yinan people are good at growing herbs, and the ministers of the DPRK and China are worried that this red fruit is a newly cultivated poisonous fruit of the Yinan people, and once it is eaten, it will be gone. Therefore, although some of the ministers of the DPRK and China also guessed that it might be something to eat, no one dared to say it.
"It's a food, it's edible." Bai Susu said as he reached out and picked a red fruit, wiped the dust on it casually, stuffed it into his mouth and took a bite, and then said with a smile, "What I said is right?" ”
