Xuanzheng Palace.

Xiao Wuxin moved the court discussion ceremony here.

When the foreign envoys stayed at the Honglu Temple, they were forced to stay for a few days before they were given the opportunity to see them.

When they came to the main hall, they first greeted him politely: "The Emperor of the Great Zhou and my king are old friends, and I congratulate the Emperor of the Great Zhou on behalf of our king." ”

"The gift prepared for you by my king has been delivered, please accept it with a smile from the Emperor of Great Zhou."

So he sent some rare treasures, mostly gold, silver, jewelry, and the like.

"These ...... Treasure? ”

The sharp-eyed Xiao Wuxin found something strange, and he ordered his personal eunuch to fetch the treasure sent by the envoys of the Northern Liang.

The eunuch brought a string of pearl necklaces, and after Xiao Wuxin measured it carefully, his face became more and more ugly.

Everyone didn't know why Xiao Wuxin looked like this, and then he threw the pearl to the ground angrily.

"You guys are so bold!!" Xiao Wuxin shouted loudly, and Long Yan was furious.

All the officials knelt on the ground, and even the envoys of the Northern Liang were shocked by this terrible coercion.

But he saw that the envoy's eyes were evasive, as if he had done something wrong and had been discovered.

"Your Majesty sent valuable gifts on the orders of my king, I don't know why His Majesty the Emperor is angry?!" The envoy pretended to be confused.

Xiao Wuxin's eyes that could kill people stared at each other deadly: "Is this gift really your Beiliang's?" You can't think I'm blind. ”

"Master Zhang, come and see! Where did this pearl come from? ”

Zhang Liang, the head of the household, was in charge of the empire's money bags, and no one knew more about gold and silver treasures than him.

Zhang Liang carefully picked up the string of pearls, and after the end was measured, he was also surprised, and he also understood the reason why Xiao Wuxin was angry.

"Your Majesty, this pearl is from Penglai County in the East China Sea." Zhang Liang said.

The pearl necklace is engraved with the pearl's message in an inconspicuous position.

In ancient times, all tributes would be engraved with the source of the gift, so that it could be traced back to the source, and shoddy people could be minimized.

That is to say, the gold, silver and jewelry sent by the envoys of the Northern Liang were originally tributes in the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

They stole the tributes and borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha, but not only did they not spend a penny, but they also got a good reputation.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look." Zhang Liang and the officials showed the information on the pearl.

After everyone read it, the ministers were furious.

"Damn! This is our treasure, Beiliang is really shameless. ”

"It's shameless to take our things and do your own thing, and to be a human being."

"Phew! Bed bugs in the north, roll out of Jinling. ”

......

The officials also understood the reason why Xiao Wuxin was angry, and for a while, the envoys of Northern Liang became the target of everyone, and everyone shouted and beat them.

They also didn't expect things to come to this point.

"His Majesty the Emperor is angry, these ...... Just some of them, we also prepare other gifts. ”

Fortunately, the envoys of the Northern Liang had a back hand and took out the spare gifts to settle the matter.

It's not that Da Zhou lacks these things, but Beiliang's approach is extremely insulting.

"Okay, you're a Tuoba Yuan, you actually play this hand with me." Xiao Wuxin scolded in his heart.

The white paper of the year turned black, and he also paid attention to himself, Zhao Juzheng was right, Tuoba Yuan is no longer the Tuoba Yuan he once was,

The envoy of the Northern Liang said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, may I ask when our 100,000 troops of the Northern Liang will return?" ”

After laying the groundwork for so long, they finally revealed their ultimate purpose.

Xiao Wuxin smiled coldly: "When did I borrow the army from you?!" ”

If you do the first year of junior high school, don't blame me for doing the fifteenth.

The envoys of the Northern Liang were stunned, can they still play like this?! I just borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, and others directly played scoundrels.

The officials also echoed the voice.

"What army?"

"Da Zhou has a lot of land, why do I need to borrow troops from you?"

"You King Beiliang are crazy, if you don't wake up, go back and sleep a little longer."

The envoy of the Northern Liang was ridiculed by everyone again, he dared to be angry but did not dare to speak.

"You ...... This is a scoundrel...... "The envoys of the Northern Liang were a little angry,

"What's wrong with being a scoundrel? If you are allowed to set fire to Beiliang, we will not be allowed to light the lamp in Dazhou?! Someone replied.

At this time, Xu Changqing, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, said: "If you want to return the 100,000 army, you can return the sixteen northern counties that you robbed of the Great Zhou." ”

The envoys of the Northern Liang finally understood that the purpose of the Great Zhou was to return the land, and he immediately retorted: "The sixteen northern counties are obtained by our ability, which is impossible. ”

"Fart! Taking advantage of our civil strife, we dare to make a big statement about seizing the sixteen counties and saying that it is based on ability, do you want to face Beiliang? ! ”

The ministers spit on the stars flying all over the sky, and the envoys of the Northern Liang were about to go crazy: "I have been an official for more than ten years, and I have never seen a courtier with no quality like you." ”

This time, the person who stood up to refute him was Xiao Wuxin: "Da Zhou has always been like this, treat me with courtesy, and return the courtesy; Treat my sword soldiers, and return the sword soldiers.

"You should find the reason from yourself, why the ministers and officials are like this to you."

The envoys of the Northern Liang knew that they couldn't say anything about them, and they didn't want to say more.

He guessed that it wouldn't go very well, but he didn't expect it to be so bad.

"Your Majesty the Emperor, my king said before leaving, if the 100,000 troops are not returned, don't blame us for the strategy of the Northern Liang Brigade." The envoy of the Northern Liang threatened.

"So what do you say?" Xiao Wuxin's eyes widened angrily.

The envoy of the Northern Liang waved his robe: "If you want the two countries to fight, then you can try." ”

Threat!

This is the first time that someone has threatened Xiao Wuxin since he became emperor.

"Go back and bring a message to Tuoba Yuan! I could have supported him to the throne, but I could have made him lose everything. ”

"You are limited to return to the sixteen northern counties within half a year, if not, I will lead my troops to level your northern Liang!!"
