The turmoil of the fiefdom dispute finally passed, and the Hanzhong county guard also made up double the arrears of taxes and grain, and then the imperial uncle really brought his son Yingce to live in the palace for a few days!

Everything is going well, and seeing that the summer is coming to an end, I am also starting to prepare to rush to the barracks to exercise immediately!

On this day, I still got up early to participate in the morning court, and when the court meeting was just halfway through, there was a hurried call outside the door of the main hall, and it turned out to be the sudden arrival of the Hun envoys!

Due to the lack of any preparation in advance, the court immediately became chaotic, and the ministers showed incomparable fear, and they were extremely afraid of the Huns!

Uncle Huang was born as a military general, and his personality is more impulsive, so he is obviously not suitable for presiding over the reception of Xiongnu envoys!

All the officials turned their eyes to Prime Minister Wang, but Prime Minister Wang was also a little confused at this time, only caring about himself with his head down and not saying a word. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Queen Meng is even more masterless, and she is afraid that the Huns will come to make more excessive demands, and she is worried that she will be unable to cope with it for a while!

This prime minister is usually bold when arguing with the emperor's uncle, but he is not very bold, but as soon as he hears that the Huns are coming, he immediately becomes very quiet! This kind of person is the most hateful, usually he is very fierce in the nest, but he is very cowardly when he is an outsider!

This is not to blame him, the Huns are notoriously barbaric and ferocious, and they will overwhelm the border with a large army at every turn, and if they don't say it well, they may be able to bring ruin to the Yongguo, and no one can afford to take responsibility for any trouble!

Although Xiao Qing is more righteous and not afraid of death, her current position is not enough to preside over the reception of envoys!

The Hun envoys were waiting outside the main hall, and if they did not immediately select a person to preside over the reception, they were afraid that they would anger the Huns and cause big trouble!

In the end, Queen Meng had to look at me with a plea for help, hoping that I, a ten-year-old boy, could share her worries again!

Looking at the chaotic court in front of him, few of these civil and military officials could deal with it calmly, but only Xiao Qing walked out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty the Queen, I'm afraid that the Huns are now impatient, and I also ask Her Majesty the Empress to decide on a candidate as soon as possible, so that he can go out of the hall to meet the Hun envoys!"

Uncle Huang was a little unhappy, and rebuked many civil servants and said: "You civil officials, you civil officials have always been responsible for ceremonial matters, why don't you speak one by one when it comes to the critical time, what are you doing?"

After hearing this, the civil officials bowed their heads one after another, except for Xiao Qing, no one dared to come forward!

Empress Meng looked at me again with a plea for help, and I had to smile at her, get up and say to everyone, "I don't know if I'm qualified enough to greet the envoy!"

After hearing this, the imperial uncle was shocked and asked very worriedly: "Imperial nephew, can you do it?" Outside the door, there are Hun envoys, this is not a joke!"

I turned my head and replied to Uncle Huang, "When the soldiers come to block, who will cover the earth!" Uncle Huang, you are the one who leads the troops to fight, you should understand this truth! Isn't it just an envoy, what are you afraid of?"

I strode down the steps, waved Xiao Qing and said, "Please accompany me to greet the Xiongnu envoys, the others are waiting here, we will go back as soon as we go!"

After speaking, I strode directly towards the outside of the hall, and Xiao Qing followed closely behind and walked out of the main hall with me!

The Hun envoy was sitting in the carriage playing with women, and he was very leisurely, not in a hurry at all!

In order not to disturb his Yaxing, I had to wait on the side with Xiao Qing to give the envoy face!

From time to time, there was a woman's moaning/moaning sound in the carriage, which made Xiao Qing, who was standing on the side, very embarrassed to hear it, and her face turned red because of it!

After a while, the Hun envoy put on his trousers, peeked out of the carriage, and saw that we were already waiting, and he immediately smiled and stepped out of the carriage!

The envoy looked at me and asked curiously: "Eh, how can you appoint a child to meet me, could it be that you Dayong has no one to use, so you can only let the child replace me?"

I looked up at him, smiled and said, "I am His Royal Highness the Prince of Yong, in order to show the respect of my Yongguo for the envoys, I am here to greet the envoys!"

The Hun envoy was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly smiled and saluted: "Yo, it turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince personally came out of the palace to greet him, which is disrespectful and disrespectful!"

But I quickly said with a cold face: "The Xiongnu Empire is a superior state, and the envoys of the Xiongnu are also envoys of the upper states! But I and Lord Fengchang have been waiting for a long time, and the envoys have completely ignored the etiquette of the great state, and actually acted in the carriage in front of us!"

The Hun envoy was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and hurriedly said loudly to me: "This can only be blamed on your country, I haven't seen anyone come out to greet me for a long time, so I have to have fun to pass the time!"

I rebuked loudly: "Hmph! When the envoy of the upper state comes to visit, he should send someone to inform him in advance! Since the envoy is in a hurry, we should arrange the deployment, and naturally it will take a little time! The envoy represents the Xiongnu Empire, and he should be extraordinarily generous, regardless of the subtleties, but he can't even hold back these few minutes, just thinking about doing things!"

When the Xiongnu envoy heard this, he was furious, and immediately reached out to touch the scimitar on his waist! At this time, the guards at the gate of the main hall immediately walked towards the envoy with a spear, and the envoy was so frightened that he had to take his hand away from the scimitar! The envoy stretched out his hand and pointed at me and said: "You, you dare to insult my Xiongnu envoy, are you not afraid that the soldiers of the Xiongnu Empire will press the border?"

I also said to him angrily: "The envoy who did things in front of my Yongguo Palace, I don't see Yongguo, please go back!"

I guess this guy will not dare to run back to the Xiongnu like this, because when their Da Shan Yu learns the reason for his expulsion, then he will be finished! He disgraced the Huns like this, how could that murderous Da Dan Yu easily spare him, and it would be strange if he didn't kill him!

This envoy never thought that my attitude would be so bad, and he panicked for a while! After thinking calmly for a while, he had no choice but to obediently apologize to me and say: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, it was indeed a bit rude just now! Your Royal Highness the Prince, there are a lot of people, and I hope His Royal Highness the Prince will forgive me!"

I snorted coldly at the envoy, and then said not very warmly: "Since the envoy is willing to admit his mistake, then this matter will be stopped, please envoy!"

The Hun envoy nodded again and again and said, "Okay, good, good! His Royal Highness the prince invites first!"

This should have been a polite remark from him, but I unceremoniously turned around and walked into the main hall, without giving him any face at all!

Xiao Qing hurriedly followed me into the main hall and looked back from time to time!

I saw that she kept wiping the sweat on her forehead, probably scared out by my attitude towards the Huns just now, because no one dared to treat the Xiongnu envoys like this, she pinched several handfuls of sweat for me!

I turned my head to her and whispered, "Is there a follow-up?"

Xiao Qing nodded again and again and said, "The follow-up is coming, the follow-up is coming!"

I smiled at Xiao Qing, and then walked up the steps of the hall with my head held high, and sat back in my place.

Empress Meng looked at me in surprise, wondering why I didn't continue to preside over the welcoming ceremony, but sat down directly!

After the Hun envoy came to the main hall, the ministers began to greet him warmly, and everyone behaved very badly about him!

Seeing this, I was very unhappy, and suddenly said loudly: "Your Excellency, please come forward and speak directly!"

The envoy immediately waved to the ministers, walked up quickly, and then said to me very politely: "Your Royal Highness, I am here!"

I stood up and said in an angry tone: "Your Excellency, don't waste time, what is the important thing for you to come to our Dayong this time, please let the envoy say it directly, those polite words will be avoided, and there is no need to detour around the bend!"

The Xiongnu envoy nodded and said, "Okay, Your Royal Highness!"

After speaking, the Xiongnu envoy took out a piece of parchment from his bosom and read it to the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty: "The Great Xiongnu Empire Duoerha Dadan Yu Zhao said: Our empire has millions of soldiers and needs huge material supplies, so the annual tribute of the Great Yong State has increased from 20,000 stones to 30,000 stones!"

After hearing this, Prime Minister Wang exclaimed: "What? I am poor and poor, where do I get so much grain?"

The Xiongnu envoy said coldly to Prime Minister Wang: "Da Dan Yu told me that if Yongguo does not allow it, we will meet on the battlefield!"

As soon as the envoy said a word, Prime Minister Wang was speechless!

At this time, Uncle Huang said angrily: "Does this big order really want to force us to meet on the battlefield?"

The Hun envoy sneered: "Since Uncle Huang said so, then he can only see him on the battlefield!"

After hearing this, Empress Meng immediately got up and asked me, "Jue'er, what should I do?"

I nodded, smiled at Empress Meng, and first calmed her excited mood! Then I didn't go down the steps, came to the Xiongnu envoy, and asked him: "Lord Envoy, but my Dayong country has not yet solved the problem of food and clothing, and now the upper state has come to increase the annual tribute, I am afraid that all the people of my Yongguo will starve to death in the wilderness!"

The Hun envoy smiled at me and saluted, saying, "Your Royal Highness, this is an order of Da Dan Yu, and there is no other way to do it!"

I nodded, smiled and said, "If this is in the Central Plains, this tribute is actually nothing!"

The Xiongnu envoys nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, what His Royal Highness the Prince said is true!

I nodded again, looked up at the upper beam of the main hall, and pondered for a long time!

After a while, I said to the Xiongnu envoy: "Your Excellency, can you bring a message to Da Shan Yu for my Yongguo?"

The Xiongnu envoy smiled and said, "Okay, Your Royal Highness, do you need to write it down with a pen?

I replied, "Let's write it, where is the clerk!"

After hearing my call, the clerk immediately walked out from the side with bamboo slips and ink, but he was soon stopped by Xiao Qing!

Xiao Qing took the bamboo slips and ink from the clerk's hand, and then she sat aside and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, say it, the lower official will write for you!"

At this time, Prime Minister Wang Cheng came over with a few civil officials, wanting to see what I was going to write locally!

I said slowly: "Your Majesty Respected Dorha, my Dayong country has few poor people, and the annual property is not enough to feed the people of the Yong country, and more than 1,000 people die of starvation in the wilderness every month, and the scene is unbearable! The Xiongnu Empire is a big country in our country, and when my country falls into famine, the state should support our vassal states, not increase the tribute of our Dayong country! If the people can't live, why should the annual tribute be presented! If the state can help my Dayong country with 30,000 stones, and open up the trade and exchange of the border, allow my Daqin exiles to go west into our Dayong country! My Dayong State only needs to go to the state for five years, and after five years, my Dayong country will definitely be able to recover its vitality, and then I will pay 50,000 stone to Shangbang, and it will never stop! If Shangbang refuses to come to the aid of the year, and forces my vassal state to increase the annual tribute, and forces all the people of my Dayong country to fall into a dead end, my Daqin sons and daughters are not afraid of life and death, and they will definitely fight to the death with Shangbang on the battlefield!"

After reading it, Prime Minister Wang shook his head violently and said: "No, Da Dan Yu will definitely not agree, and at that time, I am afraid that the two countries will have to resume the war again!"

I turned around sharply and said: "War is war, my sons and daughters of Daqin are not afraid of life and death, and the desperate people will unite as one, and then we will kill all the way to the Central Plains!"

After hearing this, the imperial uncle immediately chimed in: "Yes, His Royal Highness the prince said well! If Da Shan Yu forces us to a dead end, we will directly kill us back to the Central Plains and fight Da Shan Yu to the death!"

The ministers were all at a loss after hearing this, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to speak!

The Xiongnu envoy was also a little panicked, and hurriedly comforted me and said: "Your Royal Highness, Uncle Huang, don't be angry! This matter still needs to be considered in the long run, and when I go back, the famine of the Great Yong Kingdom will be truthfully returned to Da Dan Yu! In the long run, if the Great Yong Kingdom can recover its vitality, it will also be extremely beneficial to our upper state, and after five years, you will be able to get 50,000 stones, and Da Dan Yu will definitely be interested! When you make up your mind, go all out and try your best to persuade Da Dan Yu to promote this matter!"

I smiled and said, "That's great!"

Then I immediately announced loudly to the ministers: "Prepare a feast, my Dayong Kingdom wants to feast on the Huns!"

Upon hearing my order, the ministers immediately came over to salute the envoy and invited him to the banquet hall of the palace.

Empress Meng then summoned me, Prime Minister Wang, and Uncle Huang to a cubicle, and asked us privately, "Is this really the arrangement?"

Prime Minister Wang shook his head and said: "The old minister does not approve! First, this letter is very likely to anger Da Shan Yu, and he will definitely raise troops to attack it when the time comes! Second, even if Da Shan is merciful and willing to help my Dayong Kingdom for five years, what will happen after five years? What will my Dayong Kingdom take to pay a tribute of 50,000 stones? Third, after five years, my Dayong Kingdom will be able to recover its vitality as the prince wishes, and it will also be able to pay a tribute of 50,000 stones! However, my Dayong Kingdom will fall into a huge burden of 50,000 stone of tribute, and from then on, the poor people of the country will suffer, how can we drive the Xiongnu to regain the Central Plains?"

Uncle Huang thought for a while, nodded and said, "Imperial nephew, what the prime minister said is also reasonable, is this matter too extreme?"

I smiled and said: "If you can take 30,000 stone from the Xiongnu year, you can get border trade, and you can get the people of Daqin to return to the west! Five years later, our Dayong Kingdom will definitely be strong and strong, and that will be the time when our Daqin people will return to the Central Plains! In this way, the prime minister can not worry too much about two or three of them! As for the first, if Da Dan Yu has the heart to attack, even if my Dayong Kingdom pays 100,000 stones, it will not be able to avoid the disaster of war, and nothing else matters!"

The imperial uncle thought carefully again, and then nodded silently and said, "Well, listening to the emperor's nephew say this, this king also agrees with the prince's approach!"

Empress Meng was still not very relieved, she asked Prime Minister Wang eagerly, "Prime Minister, what do you say?"

Prime Minister Wang Cheng raised his head and sighed: "What the prince said is right, if Da Dan Yu really has the heart to attack, even if I pay millions of stones in the year of the Great Yong Country, it will be useless!"

Empress Meng continued to ask, "What should I do?"

Prime Minister Wang turned around and smiled at Queen Meng, then bowed deeply to me sideways and said, "His Royal Highness the prince is Shengming, the old minister is ashamed!"

After speaking, Prime Minister Wang asked tentatively: "Dare to ask His Royal Highness the Prince, is there a master to guide you, where is this master, the old minister is so admirable!"

After listening to this, I smiled and replied casually, "Sister Yushi taught me, don't you know?"

After hearing this, Prime Minister Wang was stunned, squinted slightly at the roof, touched his beard and said slowly: "Oh, it turned out to be Lord Xiao Qingxiao, no wonder! I didn't expect that the old Xiao Xiang is so powerful, and his daughter is also a pillar of talent, and the Xiao family is really talented!"

Uncle Huang also sighed and said: "Hey, at the moment of national crisis, a true hero has appeared, this Xiao Qing has taken up the post of Fengchang, His Royal Highness the Prince has really chosen the right person!"

Prime Minister Wang Cheng was shocked when he heard this, he turned his head to look at me suddenly, as if he noticed something, and his eyes began to look at me non-stop!

At this time, Empress Meng also sighed and said: "Hey! Old Xiao Xiang bowed to the essence of the country, and he remembered his high merits and hard work, and intended to promote his descendants! He specially arranged for His Royal Highness the Prince to come forward to recommend him, so he played such a place! I never expected that this woman turned out to be a great talent, this is really a mistake, just in time to save the country and save the people!"

After hearing this, Prime Minister Wang frowned and thought for a while, and then nodded silently.

Empress Meng was roughly influenced by me, and suddenly became a lot more mechanical, and I don't know if she can dispel Wang Zhe's old fox's suspicion of me when she says this!

In any case, I can't let this old fox know that all this is my idea, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!
