At sunset, the temple of council.

Under the leadership of Fu Lu and others, the envoys of the five countries stepped into the main hall, and coldly saw the curtain hanging on the inside of the ceremony, and the two people who were playing chess behind the curtain at this time, they were all stunned.

I saw that behind the curtain, Liu Mo was working cross-legged on the futon, and in front of him, there was a chess table, as for the other side of the chess table, Hua Yueman was biting a chess piece, looking at the chessboard with a frown, ignoring the people who came in outside.

"What does that mean?"

"yes, that's a bit too hasty, isn't it?"

Fu Lu already had a meal in his heart, and said with a light smile: "Back to the envoys, the emperor promised the princess to play chess today, but before the chess was finished, it was time to meet the envoys. ”

Several envoys were stunned in the main hall, although it was difficult for them to accept such a thing, but I have to say that they who have come into contact with Liu Mo know what kind of person Liu Mo is, so for the current arrangement, they feel that this is very in line with Liu Mo's indifferent, alienated and arrogant temperament.

Hua Yueman secretly looked out along the curtain, and saw that the messengers who were all five and six were not moving, and the heart that was lifted fell into her stomach a little.

This is an idea that she came up with after thinking about it for an hour, of course, the reason why she dared to play cards so unreasonably was really thanks to Liu Mo's character of pretending to be forced.

"Since we have come to pray for heaven, we are guests, and guests are as they are with the Lord, which is customary. Si Muran, who walked in at the end, a white robe clean and spotless, glanced into the curtain, and smiled faintly, "Father-in-law is tired of leading the way." ”

The other envoys saw that Si Muran had opened his mouth, and although they were still very awkward in their hearts, they were all silent.

Taking advantage of this, Fu Lu bent down and stretched out his hand to Si Muran: "His Royal Highness Prince Yaolan, please." ”

According to the status of several countries, Si Muran must have sat at the front, and then went down in turn to be the envoys of several other countries.

After everyone sat on the chairs, Hua Yueman hurriedly took out the poetry collection prepared in advance, hid it on the other side of the chess table, and pointed at Liu Mo in order to outline the words outlined with a brush in advance.

Liu Mo read out the above words one by one according to the order that Hua Yueman was referring to: "The cumbersomeness of ascending the throne and the triviality of matters are very gratifying, and the envoys of the five countries have this patience." ”

Outside the gauze curtain, except for Si Muran and an old man, the other messengers echoed in unison: "Don't dare, Emperor Pray for Heaven is serious." ”

Hua Yueman didn't dare to delay, and continued to point to the words on the poetry collection, and asked Liu Mo to follow it.

Although it was just some words, the envoys of the five countries, who were originally uncomfortable outside the curtain, gradually smiled, and the atmosphere eased a little.

Seeing this, Hua Yueman secretly wiped her sweat and pinched her fingers that turned the book to the sore point.

In other words, if it weren't for what poetry collection Liu Mo read last time, she really didn't know that although Liu Mo had a negative IQ, he still knew words.

Moreover, in fact, she originally wanted to write down what she wanted Liu Mo to say, but after being watched by Prime Minister Wen Cheng who she temporarily found for a long time, she didn't recognize a single word, and she couldn't help but shrink.

She knew that her handwriting was ugly, but she never thought that it would be difficult to see a realm that ordinary people couldn't understand.

So......

Tangled and entangled, and finally she decided to draw those words directly on the poetry collection, and then pointed it out to Liu Mo and asked him to read it out according to the words.

"Although our countries have always been allies of praying for heaven, but in recent years, the tribute has increased repeatedly, and now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, I don't know if he plans to continue to pay tribute?"

Hua Yueman looked sideways, and saw that the person who spoke was sitting next to Si Muran, the old man who didn't smile just now.

This man......

Which one is it?

Hua Yueman looked suspiciously at Fu Lu, who had already wrapped around the curtain.

Fu Lu understood, and whispered in her ear: "Back to the crown princess, this person is Prince Qianguo Yong." ”

Qianguo?

Hua Yueman nodded secretly, although she had never been there, but she had heard of it, because when she first learned the art of war, she had seen it on the map, the terrain of Qianguo was very distorted, it was not easy to attack and not easy to defend, the domestic waterway accounted for two-thirds, and all the grain was basically trekking from other countries, and the price of food was very expensive.

However, although there is little land in Qianguo, it produces salt because of its proximity to the sea, so the materials are quite balanced, and in recent years, the newcomer emperor of Qianguo is very business-minded, so Qianguo, which was originally ranked behind several countries, has become a leader among small countries in one move.

Before Hua Yuefeng was full, she really couldn't understand who was so sick and willing to live in such a country with nine twists and eighteen bends, but now that she saw Prince Yong's sharp-beaked monkey cheeks and thief eyebrows, she suddenly realized, it is really one side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, this is really not wrong at all.

"But Xiao Wang's question is so profound that the new emperor will not answer?"

Hua Yueman gritted her teeth and began to look for words in the poetry collection, and then only showed it to Liu Mo.

Liu Mo read them out one by one according to her meaning: "I won't answer such a trivial question." ”

Si Muran was sipping the tea in his hand from beginning to end, as if anything that happened in the hall had nothing to do with him.

The old man was not angry: "Is it because the new emperor of the heavens does not want to answer?" or ...... Don't know how to answer?"

His words drew all the eyes in the hall to Liu Mo's body, and the messengers were originally speculating about Liu Mo's mental problems, but now they were even more suspicious and looked at it with their eyes.

Hua Yueman had the heart to kill him, and reached out and nodded on the poetry collection again.

Fu Lu stood aside and watched in horror, for fear that she would poke out the poetry collection if she made a big effort.

Liu Mo's long eyelashes drooped slightly, and he read out in a faint voice: "The crown princess thinks that this issue should be handled more appropriately?"

"Nonsense!" Before Hua Yueman could speak, Prince Nayong looked straight to this side, "National affairs, how can there be a reason for a woman to intervene?" The beard that was blown up by the erected eyes seemed to be going to heaven.

Hua Yueman hooked her lips, grabbed a chess piece from the chess box without hurrying, and flipped it between them: "Why don't I throw this chess piece into the sky, if it is an even number landing, it will be tributed, and if it is an odd number, the tribute will be reduced, how about it?"

Prince Yong was about to explode, and the whole person was in flames: "Princess Qitian is such a child's play, but she looks down on me to dry the country?"

"How come?" Hua Yueman smiled, "Prince Yong's words have reduced all the women to the ground, how dare I not get along with Prince Yong in the wind and waves?" ”

Prince Yong glared: "Curious about what?"

Hua Yueman smiled and couldn't close her mouth: "I wonder if Prince Yong's mother is a man or a woman." ”

Prince Yong was stunned: "You, you, you ......" You didn't say the second word for a long time.

Hua Yueman deliberately chuckled and threw the chess pieces he was playing with into the chess box.

Looking down on women?

Then I really feel sorry for your mother.

When the envoys from the other countries around heard this, they all secretly pursed their lips and smiled.

Prince Yong didn't expect it, but it was just three sentences, and he was caught by a little girl.

At this moment, with his old face that was neither red nor white, he swept the circle of people around him, snorted and said: "National affairs, women should not intervene, this is the rule of every country." ”

"I wasn't going to interject. Hua Yueman frowned, and suddenly his voice became cold, "The emperor is asking me, and I am also answering the emperor, but Prince Yong, as a messenger who came to pray for the sky, kept interjecting, what does it mean?"

Si Muran smiled, pursed his lips and raised them, as light as water.

Prince Yong choked, stared at his eyes and couldn't speak, no matter how he looked at it, he was very angry.

Hua Yueman looked at his virtue of almost vomiting blood, and after thinking about it, he still felt that it was okay, after all, Prince Yong was a visiting envoy, and she was just a little princess.

If it is too bad to give Prince Yong face, it will be easy to say that this matter will not sound good.

"The question that the emperor just asked, the concubines have some ideas. Hua Yueman's voice was faint, but the words were clear, "In the past, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he would generally reduce the tribute of the surrounding alliance countries to celebrate with the sky, but as far as the concubines knew, if the alliance countries really wanted to stabilize the friendship among them, not only would they not agree to halve, but in the first three years, they would pay more tribute than before. ”

Hua Yueman's heart is like a mirror, these messengers are to probe Liu Mo's bottom, and secondly, they can take advantage of it, but the current prayer is good?

"The concubines thought that the emperor might as well reduce the tribute of various countries for three years, and as for how much other countries want to pay tribute, it is completely up to them. ”

As Hua Yueman's words fell, Fu Lu, who was standing beside Liu Mo, quietly gave Hua Yueman a thumbs up.

But......

The envoys of several countries on the other side of the gauze curtain were not so happy.

They all looked towards Prince Yong, although they didn't speak, but the meaning was very obvious: With Prince Yong, you have been grinding for a long time, not only has this tribute not decreased, but more?

Prince Yong's old face naturally couldn't hang up, but he didn't expect Hua Yueman to be so sharp-tongued, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Yaolan is willing to pay tribute for three years, congratulating the new emperor of Qitian on his accession to the throne. Suddenly, Si Muran, who had been self-conscious, opened his mouth lightly.

His words made the other envoys stunned.

In fact, even Hua Yueman was stunned.
