Chapter 189: The envoy enters the palace
"Hun envoy Harry, meet Your Majesty in the Central Plains!"
Receiving Li Si's signal, the Hun envoy in leather clothes showed an extremely reluctant expression, and led several other envoys behind him, bowed their heads, and gave a salute.
As envoys, they don't know about the etiquette of the Central Plains, and the reason why they gave them the etiquette of the grassland just now is because they didn't take the emperor of the Central Plains into account at all!
"No rudeness!"
Ying Zheng didn't want to care anymore, so he waved his hand angrily.
Li Si breathed a long sigh of relief.
He didn't expect that when these Huns came to the palace, they didn't practice the Central Plains etiquette, and His Majesty almost got angry with him!
"Your Majesty, I, the Hun Dadan, sent us to the Central Plains this time for two purposes!"
The envoy was forced to give a salute, slightly displeased, and no longer turned the ink, and directly stated his purpose.
"Which two?"
Ying Zheng had a cold face and asked in a deep voice.
"Trade and commerce! We hope that Your Majesty will open up the border trade between the two countries and allow the people of the two countries to communicate with each other! ”
Harry said with his head held high.
"Open trade? Do you still have to let you come to Xianyang to do business? ”
Ying Zheng scoffed.
In the case of blockading the border, these Xiongnu often invaded the people on the border.
If the border trade is opened, they will not be allowed to smash and loot unscrupulously?
The people on the border really don't have a good life!
"If Your Majesty allows it, of course we also want to do business in Xianyang!"
As if he didn't understand the meaning of Ying Zheng's words, Harry actually showed a triumphant smile and nodded again and again.
In fact, opening up border trade is only one of them, and doing business in Xianyang is the real purpose, but they have to do business in Xianyang step by step, and they will definitely not agree to do business in Xianyang at once!
"Humph! You think a little too much, if you want to come and go to Xianyang at will, it's impossible! ”
Ying Zheng sneered twice and refused directly.
Hearing this, the smile on the face of the envoy Harry suddenly froze, revealing a displeased look.
Since the first one is not good, then we can only say the second one, "We only heard that Your Majesty has an eldest princess, whose name is Yin Yan, who is both talented and beautiful, and is admirable, so we only want to marry her, so that our two countries can be friends forever and no longer fight!" ”
"...... Uproar"
As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar.
"These Huns, not only do they want to go in and out of my Great Qin to do business at will, but they also want to marry our eldest princess?"
"Where do they get their confidence?"
"This is a fool's dream, Your Majesty will not agree to it......!"
Sure enough, as soon as he heard that the Xiongnu wanted to ask to marry the princess, Yingzheng's face immediately turned a little colder.
Xiao Zhengtai also raised his head suddenly.
These Huns are too shameless, they want to marry his beautiful sister?
"My imperial sister is still young now, and it is not suitable to marry far away, let alone go to a place where birds don't like the Huns!"
Xiao Zhengtai unceremoniously scolded back.
He doesn't care so much!
Some barbarians, he will have to let Yingzheng clean up sooner or later, and the reason why he has not suggested it is that he wants to wait until after the grain harvest this autumn before he can do it.
I didn't expect these Huns to be sent to the door!
"What ......? You......? ”
Harry, the Hun envoy led by him, suddenly became angry, pointing at Xiao Zhengtai and wanting to scold something.
But he was quietly pulled by a person behind him, and then he restrained his anger and continued: "I heard that there is a drought in many places in Daqin, and the seeds of the people have not germinated after they are put into the ground, and it is possible that the grains will not be harvested, if Your Majesty does not agree, don't blame my Hun army for taking advantage of the danger!" ”
"My Hun is at the time when the water and grass are fertile, and I hope Your Majesty will think it through!"
Harry threatened with arrogance.
"Smack......
This time, Yingzheng couldn't suppress his anger anymore, and slapped on the dragon case, and the hearts of all the ministers in the audience suddenly pinched.
Your Majesty is going to be angry.
"A few barbarians, how dare they threaten me? Really, when I am a vegetarian in Daqin's millions of male soldiers? Drag them out for me and cut them down! ”
"Yes!"
Wang Ben had already heard it angrily, just waiting for His Majesty's words.
In response, the envoy was immediately detained.
The soldiers who had been guarding outside the hall also suddenly rushed in, trying to catch those envoys!
At this moment, Li Si suddenly stood up, protected in front of those envoys, and bowed his hand, "Your Majesty, even if the two countries are at war, they will not kill the envoys, not to mention that the envoys just came to ask for relatives, and they didn't make any big mistakes!" ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, killing a few of them is a trivial matter, if you provoke a dispute between the two countries because of this, it will be worth the loss!"
"I hope Your Majesty thinks twice, although the conditions proposed by these Xiongnu envoys are unreasonable, but for the sake of the people of the two countries to avoid the suffering of war, it is better to let them go first, right?"
Immediately afterwards, Feng Zai, Li Xin, Lu Wan and others also stood up to plead.
Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair angrily, grabbed the armrests tightly with both hands, thought about it again, and said, "Take them to the official post to rest first!" ”
"Yes!"
Wang Ben nodded, and led the envoys out of the Qilin Palace.
"Your Majesty, this envoy really can't be killed, my Great Qin unified the six countries, it is already a waste of money and labor, and I need to recuperate at this time, if I kill these envoys just because of a momentary anger, and bring war to Great Qin, it really outweighs the loss!"
After the envoy was taken away by the neck, the right minister Feng went out of the queue and opened his mouth.
"Didn't you hear what they just threatened? If we don't marry the princess, they will send troops, and in the end, won't they still have to fight? ”
Zhang Han was angry and stood up and said.
"I, Daqin's million male soldiers, naturally will not sue for peace with the princess, even if the envoy goes back to report, the Xiongnu's Shan Yu Touman will have to think twice, and he may not really send troops!"
Feng Quji neither approved of marrying a princess nor of killing envoys.
According to the meaning of his words, it is to take one step at a time, and the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth!
"Feiyu, what do you mean?"
Ying Zheng listened to the words of the two, thought for a moment, and finally turned to Xiao Zhengtai and asked.
"Humph! The ambition of the Xiongnu wolf, even if the father really married the imperial sister to the Xiongnu, it is impossible for them to stop invading Daqin, you have also seen the greedy eyes of the envoys just now, Daqin and Xiongnu can never coexist! ”
Xiao Zhengtai snorted coldly, and his attitude was very disdainful.
"I just listened to the envoys, if my Great Qin does not agree to their conditions, I will send troops to fight!"
Li Si on the top of the main hall arched his hand and said.
"It's only a matter of time before there is a war, but what this prince is curious about now is why the Huns, who are thousands of miles away, would know about the drought in many parts of my Great Qin so quickly?"
Xiao Zhengtai got up from the chair, carried his little hand on his back, walked up to Li Si, and asked meaningfully.
After his reminder, all the ministers present suddenly woke up!
No wonder the Xiongnu would suddenly send envoys to come when there was no New Year's Day, it turned out that they heard of the drought in Daqin, and wanted to take advantage of the danger of people to force them to open trade and marry princesses!
Otherwise, if the two countries are at war, and there will be drought and no food inside Daqin, there will be internal and external troubles.
Expedient, thinking that Daqin can only compromise!
But how exactly did this news leak out?
