Chapter 85: The Dilemma of the Western Xia Envoy

"It's good that the emperor is happy, if the emperor is unhappy because of his concubine, it is the sin of the concubine. Concubine Jin was eloquent and soon began to divert the emperor's attention with her words.

The emperor is in a good mood, he has already thought of a way to deal with the vassal king, and is hurrying to prepare, and now Xixia has taken the initiative to show goodwill, he feels that this emperor is very fulfilled, and he can't help but smile generously: "It's okay, it's that I think too much." ”

The emperor's interest is not so high, although Concubine Jin wants to talk more, but the hatred for Concubine Yu is still there, and she is holding her anger, and she has no interest.

Fortunately, although the emperor was not in high spirits, he still followed Concubine Jin to the palace, and said with a smile: "The treasures paid by Xixia will be presented soon, and if the concubine has something she likes, it can be said that she is with me." ”

"How does this make. Concubine Jin naturally has her own set of methods to make the emperor feel relieved, and at this time, she hurriedly waved her hand and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why Xixia has paid tribute year after year is inseparable from the merits of the emperor and the ministers, and it is the emperor's hard work to make Xixia dare not be a minister, this is to pay tribute to the emperor and pay tribute to the emperor's dragon face, how dare the concubines take it." ”

"It's all my things, so what's the matter if I give one or two things to my concubine, don't refuse my concubine. The emperor was bold, and he listened to Concubine Jin's words comfortably, and made up his mind decisively.

Concubine Jin was overjoyed and said with a smile: "The emperor must not forget the other sisters in the harem, otherwise the concubines will not dare to take it easily." ”

"I have my own opinions. The emperor sighed secretly in his heart, this brocade concubine is good, every time she postpones rewarding things, she doesn't forget to worry about Sheji.

"The concubine is disrespectful, thank you for the emperor's love. "Concubine Jin borrowed the donkey from the slope and begged for a big bargain, and she was so happy that she got carried away.

When the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom came to the court early the next morning, he was summoned by the emperor to the main hall, and then there was a letter of discussion, in order to repair the good of the two countries.

However, this time the envoy of Western Xia was very tough, and after the politeness was over, he even said that he hoped that the emperor would marry a princess to go to Western Xia, which would be regarded as a marriage and a good marriage to Qin and Jin.

Naturally, the emperor would not agree to this matter, nor would the minister, and the envoy of Western Xia seemed to know that this matter could not be done, so he did not mention it again after saying that he did not agree.

However, the Western Xia retreated, but the emperor and the courtiers did not agree, and soon the prime minister thought of a way, opened his eyes and said nonsense to the Western Xia envoy, "The royal princesses of this dynasty are now past the age of the Emperor, and they have already decided to marry, and the ministers have heard that there are still three princesses in the Western Xia royal family to marry, I don't know if I can marry the emperor?"

That's right, I don't have a princess in my family, I have a husband, and there is still a princess in your family who is not married, we can't get married, you can marry it, with the prime minister at the beginning, other ministers have admonished.

This time it is the turn of the Western Xia envoy to be embarrassed, this person can be shameless, but how can he be shameless to this point, how can the Western Xia envoy not be prepared, when he came, there was a vassal king who told the situation in the court clearly, and the emperor still had a few princesses who were not married, and they were very clear.

But you know, the emperor and the ministers are talking nonsense with their eyes open, they are helpless, they can't come up with evidence, and now on other people's territory, people say that the princess is married, and they just want to say that you are Laipi, and people can also fabricate a piece of evidence at will.

was generalized, and the envoy of Western Xia had a word of suffering, so he had to prevaricate and say that he would have to go back to his emperor and ask clearly.

This is the difference between the big court and the small forces, now the court is tough, you can open your eyes and say nonsense, the other party has to pinch your nose and admit it, but if Xixia is tough, even if the emperor does not have a princess, he must seal one and then marry him.

Although the matter was quickly resolved because of the prime minister's brain, but after the next dynasty, the emperor still put a stomach full of anger on his face, and the attitude of Western Xia, anyone can see it, is deliberately to make trouble, making the emperor uncomfortable.

It is true that the emperor has a princess, but what is the identity of the land of the Western Xia projectile, it will be destroyed with a wave of his hand, and he dares to kiss, and what is the kiss, when he is the king, don't forget that the Western Xia is begging for food under the care of the court, and he is a little brother.

Now the younger brother wants to be on an equal footing with the eldest brother, how can this be done, not only the emperor is angry, but the minister is also not angry, and after the next dynasty, the Western Xia envoy was scolded half to death.

Even if you make yourself angry, you still make the emperor angry, and your ministers will be scolded by the emperor tomorrow, how can it be reasonable.

When the ministers returned to the palace, they desperately threw their cups, and they saw at a glance that this was the intention of the Western Xia, wanting to see the attitude of the emperor and the court, and test the reality of the court.

After all, now the court is worried about internal and external troubles, there are vassal kings who are undecided, Xixia was instigated by these vassal kings, and was promised a lot of benefits by the vassal kings, and they were moved, and they wanted to support a rebellion, and they were worried that the court was too fierce, and if the last supported vassal king was defeated, then the life of Western Xia would not be easy.

However, these things are carried out in secret, and on the surface, diplomatic relations and friendship are still maintained, and everyone looks happy.

On this day, the emperor did not go well early, the national prestige did not show success, and he was provoked by the Western Xia, so that he held his stomach, and locked himself in the imperial study all day long.

Concubine Jin naturally has a lot of eyes and ears, so many years of operation in the harem, so that she has a very stable and fast control channel for the news of the court, and within a few hours, she learned about it, and she was also disgusted by Xixia.

Originally, she also planned to invite a banquet to the envoy of Western Xia, but she didn't expect the other party to provoke the emperor, this must not be a banquet, the emperor's enemy is her enemy, she must correct her position, so that the emperor can rest assured of her.

Time in this mysterious atmosphere in the past three days, Xixia envoy after two days of reflection, seems to have learned to behave, the third day on the court, began to accuse, quibbles are naturally indispensable, but also humbly accept mistakes, the emperor saw that the other party had a good attitude, the disgust of the two days has also disappeared, the whole court has become light and light, a peaceful.

When foreign envoys come to the DPRK, they naturally do not just want to leave, because they involve border trade, and there are also direct transactions between countries, including the amount of tribute to be paid in the coming year, and many of these matters that need to be negotiated must be finalized. You can't go without ten days and a half months.

On the palace of the third prince, because the emperor was unhappy because of the Western Xia, Concubine Jin naturally had to explain to Rong Yunhe that he had to interact with people as little as possible, and the mansion also looked like idlers were exempt from entering, and continued to remain semi-closed.

Qin Luoyi also learned the cause of the affairs in the DPRK and China from Rong Yunhe's mouth, and he was angry and funny about Western Xia.

As a result, people are panicked, and I am afraid that my father will be even more uneasy about the vassal king. Rong Yunhe sighed, looked at Qin Luoyi who was smiling on the side, and his heart was slightly settled.

is still the same as in the past, every two days Rong Yunhe will always come to see Qin Luoyi, and stay for a while, and occasionally have a meal.

Qin Luoyi naturally knew how powerful it was, and now she was very good at tricks, so she immediately smiled and said: "Why worry about the prince, the emperor must have a good idea of this matter, you and I can live well for the time being." ”

"That being said, I can't rest assured. Rong Yunhe sighed.

Qin Luoyi looked at Rong Yunhe like this, his heart was also a little soft, a little unbearable, Rong Yunhe is a good prince and a good prince, he is very worried about the country, and at the same time he has no covetousness for the throne, what is even more rare is that he has a heart for the people, and people are also very kind. said in a complicated tone: "The prince really doesn't need to worry, if you are really worried, you might as well ask the mother concubine, or ask the emperor to appeal and talk about your concerns." ”

"Mother concubine, she ......" Rong Yunhe hesitated a little, if he told Song Jinya, with Song Jinya's intentions, he would definitely let himself get involved in court politics more, but in the end he didn't say it.

"Then go and ask my father. Qin Luoyi smiled and comforted: "In fact, no matter what, the emperor must have a certain certainty, not to mention that there are many ministers to assist from the side, presumably it will not be out of proportion, this time Xixia also has the intention to test the truth, not the same courtiers and the emperor to block." ”

"But the Western Xia has always had a deep heritage, and relied on overseas, retreating can be attacked and defended, if it is urgent, it is really against the imperial court, and the imperial court is helpless, but it will lead to rampant foreign bandits and pirates rampant in the rich coastal areas all day long. "Rong Yunhe has received a royal orthodox education, and he is still very clear about these things.

Qin Luoyi disagreed, and said: "It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift." ”

But as soon as the words came out, Qin Luoyi regretted it, why did he talk nonsense again, although everyone understands this matter, but it is still very bad for a woman to say this, it is too eye-catching.

In a word, not only did Rong Yunhe say it suddenly, but at the same time, he was convinced, Qin Luoyi's words naturally understood, and immediately smiled: "It's still the reason why Madame said, I'll go into the palace and ask my father, I don't know that my father is so busy and tired, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I'm very worried." ”

"Well, the prince should have dinner before going. Qin Luoyi smiled, she was a little worried that when Rong Yunhe told the emperor as it was, saying that she said it herself, then she would be in trouble.

The meal was quickly served, a table was set up, and it looked very tasty.

Qin Luoyi picked up the wine jug and was about to pour wine for Rong Yunhe, but Rong Yunhe raised his hand to block it, and said: "I will enter the palace in a while, and if you can't drink wine, lest your father blame you." ”

A prince, go to see the emperor with the smell of wine, in case the emperor's dog nose is too smart, know, it will not be good, now that the country is in danger, how can it be so absurd, indulging in wine all day.

Rong Yunhe is still too disciplined, and he abides by the dogmas of these palace professors very strictly, Qin Luoyi saw it in her eyes and didn't care, anyway, she was helpless and couldn't help, so she immediately smiled and said, "That's good." ”

Eating silently, this is a good habit, after eating too much, after a short rest, Qin Luoyi hesitated for a moment, and said: "Lord, I will enter the palace later, and some words are not allowed to let the emperor know that it is the concubine who said." ”
