Chapter 145: Trade
Everyone's eyes fell on Xun Wang, and even Zhu Xinghe became nervous together.
can find His Royal Highness, but he is not in a hurry.
His wooden chair was already walking slowly, and he didn't want others to push it at the moment, but he kept pushing hard.
Slowly, he pushed himself in front of the envoy of the Hu tribe.
He smiled confidently, in addition to his appearance, the momentum up and down his body was like two people from the stupid king in the past!
He stared at the envoy of the Hu tribe, only said a word, and said lightly: "It's better to be like this, we can agree to reduce your tribute." But you must also agree to open up a trade route from your royal capital to trade with our Eastern Yuan Dynasty! β
A little tribute, a change of trade route, this transaction for the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, is only profitable and not lost!
Even Zhu Xinghe knew in his heart that this was the result of the discussion between King Xun and Ling Tianhan that day. But at this moment, seeing King Xun like this, Zhu Xinghe still had a strange feeling in his heart: If King Xun could have made a name for himself in this court, I am afraid that Prince Ping would not be so forbearant as he is today, right?
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them started to talk about it.
"If we can trade with the Hu people, it will also deepen the relationship between our two countries!"
"Isn't it? In the past, the caravans were all small caravans, and there were always bandits on the way to the Hu people. But if the two countries now fully recognize this trade route, then there is an official guarantee! β
"Yes, yes, now that the war is over, if the two countries can carry out trade again, it will be an extra way for the people of the two countries to live!"
β¦β¦
Although Zhu Xinghe is just a palace maid, she also knows the importance of trade to the two countries in this situation.
After King Xun said this, he raised his eyes and looked at the emperor who was on the throne.
The emperor didn't seem to have recovered from the shock that Xun Wang had become a normal person, he only looked at Xun Wang fixedly, and only nodded under the reminder of the eunuch and the queen on the side: "Xun Wang said that if he could develop a new trade route, it would naturally be great!" β
"Hmph-"
But Prince Ping was not stingy at all, and began to pour cold water at this time: "Why, could it be that this trade route can be opened if His Royal Highness Xun Wang said that he wanted to?" If everything in the world is really so simple, what do we want to do here every day? β
He looked at the envoys of the Hu clan, and at this moment he didn't care about the face of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty at all, but said: "Opening up the route from the royal capital to the Eastern Yuan Dynasty is equivalent to you exposing the hinterland of the royal capital to the Eastern Yuan people." Is your king willing? β
"Ahemβ"
This was said too clearly, so that the emperor couldn't help but cough lightly: "Prince Ping, I think you should be cautious in your words and deeds." β
The people around him also looked at Prince Ping with strange eyes, and they didn't know why he wanted to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige.
Prince Ping finally realized that what he said was wrong, so he lowered his head and said softly: "This king just wants to think of all possibilities." I think that the method proposed by His Royal Highness Xun Wang is really not feasible. β
"Hahaha-"
Seeing them coming and going, the envoy of the Hu tribe finally couldn't help it and laughed out loud.
When everyone's eyes looked at him, Prince Ping also showed a somewhat smug look, as if he had already made up his mind that this envoy had the same thoughts as himself.
Sure enough, the envoy looked at King Xun, and his eyes were uncertain: "How can His Royal Highness King Xun ensure that our Hu clan will open the royal capital and usher in a trade caravan, rather than a long sword that goes straight into the heart of our Hu royal capital?" β
In fact, it's human nature to have such concerns, right?
But even when King Xun was facing the envoys of a country, his eyes were still indifferent: "If we really want to do something to the Hu people, we will not transfer His Royal Highness King Han back to Kyoto from the border pass." β
What this said is that as long as Ling Tianhan is at the border, it will be a deterrent to the Hu people. And now that Ling Tianhan is back, the Hu clan still has a little respite.
Not only that, King Xun even looked at Princess Doluo, who had become a palace concubine: "Besides, we Dongyuan people are affectionate." Princess Doro is now pregnant, and she is the person I should respect the most in the Eastern Yuan Dynasty. The Hu people are the maiden family of Princess Doluo, which means that the Hu people are our in-laws of the Eastern Yuan Dynasty. Sending troops to in-laws has never been in line with our etiquette rules from ancient times to the present. Now that there is a better path, why do we have to take the worst path that would break the relationship between the two countries? β
Not bad.
Zhu Xinghe always thought that he must be a talented person who can use his clever mouth to turn war into jade silk.
Now that I have really seen King Xun so clever and eloquent, I know that what I saw in the past is true.
"Hahaha, good!"
Sure enough, when the envoy heard King Xun say this, his face was already hearty, and he suddenly laughed again: "In this Dongyuan Dynasty, there are indeed many talents!" Yes, you're right! His Royal Highness King Han has come to the royal capital of our Hu clan a long time ago, but he has not done anything to us that should not be done. I believe in His Royal Highness King Han, and naturally I also believe in His Royal Highness King Xun who believes in His Royal Highness King Han! β
Without saying a word, he got up with the etiquette of the Hu clan, and then saluted the emperor who was seated: "We, the Hu clan, can accept the suggestion of His Royal Highness the King Xun." Open a trade route from the royal capital to the Eastern Yuan Dynasty, but our Hu people are only willing to hand over this matter to His Royal Highness Xunwang, and ask the Eastern Yuan Emperor to grant it! β
In fact, it has come to this point, if Prince Ping still can't see the trickiness in this matter, then he can't be regarded as Prince Ping who can argue with the saint for so long!
When Zhu Xinghe looked at Prince Ping, he saw that his eyes had become cold.
That's right, in fact, this Hu envoy actually wanted this from the beginning!
And Ling Tianhan has a close relationship with the Hu clan, and he and this envoy have known each other since a few years ago.
He and His Royal Highness Xunwang just took advantage of this envoy and this opportunity, and wanted to "hide" King Xun, who had always been in the palace, from this incident onwards, to emerge in the court!
Regardless of whether the emperor above saw that this matter was intentional by Ling Tianhan and His Royal Highness Xun Wang, for the emperor, this result could not be better.
Whether he wanted to or not, he still had to look at King Xun with surprise and appreciation: "Okay, according to what the envoy said, leave this matter to King Xun to deal with!" β
