These words, word by word, were piercing the emperor's heart.

The emperor was so angry that his chest fell together.

I wanted to say something, but my eyes flashed, and I still froze.

He took a tone and said coldly, "I have to discuss this matter with the ministers." ”

The black-robed man smiled.

He raised his hand and arched slightly, and said, "Of course, then I will wait for His Majesty's news at the post station." ”

After saying that, he withdrew.

After he withdrew, the emperor's strong spirit was completely relaxed, his face changed, and he angrily brushed off the twists and turns on the case, and his face was as gloomy as water.

Chang Xi saw the messenger leave all the way, and then came in cautiously.

He bowed slightly, staring at the face of the previous emperor, and then picked up the folds that had been swept on the ground one by one.

Of course, the emperor saw him, but as if he didn't see it, he only vented to himself, and said angrily: "This Northern Zhou Kingdom is simply too deceitful!" Relying on their strong soldiers and horses, they are so unreasonable to me! They still want to forcibly make peace with my Great Yuan Kingdom, heh, I think they are delusional! ”

Chang Xi's eyelids jumped.

He was standing outside and didn't come in, so I don't know what they were talking about inside.

At this time, when he heard the emperor's words, he couldn't help frowning.

And pro?

As far as he knew, although the emperor of the Northern Zhou Kingdom gave birth to several sons, he didn't know whether it was because of the bad weather or some other reason, none of the sons survived.

At present, they only have one biological princess under their knees, known as Princess Yuqing.

Although the emperor made him the crown prince, he was not much kind, but he was very fond of Princess Yuqing, if she was not a daughter, I am afraid that even this throne will be passed on to her.

Now they say that they want to make peace, I don't know which one they sent to make peace with their Great Yuan Kingdom?

Chang Xi turned many thoughts in his heart, but he still smiled gently: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, this Northern Zhou is a barbarian land, they are famous for their willfulness and recklessness, how can it change overnight?" ”

"They are so disrespectful to Your Majesty, and outsiders only say that our Dayuan is a country of etiquette and treats guests with courtesy, and they are so rude when they come to the door, and they are sitting on the barbaric and uncivilized behavior, in this case, then what does Your Majesty have to do with them?"

After listening to his words, although the emperor knew that he was coaxing himself, he still felt a little more comfortable.

He pointed at Chang Xi and said angrily: "You old thing! ”

Chang Xi smiled kindly, "Your Majesty's dragon body is precious, so there is no need to be angry with such a barbarian villager." ”

The emperor sighed and said, "They want to marry Princess Yuqing, and they also named Xiao Jingxing." ”

"What?"

Chang Xi's face changed greatly.

The emperor looked at him meaningfully, "You also think it's too much, don't you?" ”

Chang Xi smiled awkwardly and said stiffly: "Yes, the regent already has a concubine, how can he marry Princess Yuqing again?" If Princess Yuqing is the side concubine, I am afraid it is unlikely. ”

After all, she is a princess of a country.

is also the favorite daughter of the emperor of the Northern Zhou Kingdom.

Let her come to Dayuan Country thousands of miles just to be a side concubine, she is not crazy.

The emperor naturally understood this truth, and sneered: "So what they are seeking must be the position of the concubine, but they want the position of the concubine, so how can I tell Jing Xing?" Everyone knows that Jing Xing's current concubine was begged for by himself, and the relationship between the two is like glue, and if I want them to be forcibly separated, wouldn't I be pushed to be this wicked person? If it can make sense, it's okay, but if it doesn't make sense, Jing Xing and I will become enemies, and Dayuan will have civil strife, wouldn't he be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman in the Northern Zhou? Oh, what a good calculation! ”

Chang Xi secretly should be.

He said tentatively, "That holy means ......"

Speaking of this, the emperor had a headache again.

He propped himself on the table with one hand, rubbed his forehead with some pain, and said lightly: "The Northern Zhou Dynasty is threatening with border trade, and we must accept Princess Yuqing." ”

Chang Xi was stunned.

Border trade?

Although he is not a minister of the court, and he has no right to intervene in political affairs, after all, he is the person in front of the emperor, and he has been following the emperor for a long time, even if he is exposed to it, he knows a lot about things in the court.

Border trade is the emperor's biggest headache in recent years.

More than ten years ago, the emperor died, the country of Dayuan fell into the battle for succession, civil strife continued, the people were displaced by the war, and the people's livelihood was miserable.

Now that the four seas are peaceful, there is no war in the country, but the people are still very poor, and even the treasury is very empty because of the perennial war.

The Great Abyss Kingdom seems to be very large, but in fact, it is a toothless tiger, and it is difficult to do anything without money, but most of the economy in the south has been covered by the Southern Tang Dynasty, although the Great Yuan Kingdom wants to intervene, but it is difficult to make enough money from them because it has no resources.

It's a different story in the north.

Although the Northern Zhou Dynasty is located further north, the environment is more harsh, and the resources are also very poor, they have mines and ores, as well as the strongest and strongest war horses in the world.

The big win country is a rich place, plus some small countries around the big win country, not to mention further west, if this border trade is developed, the big abyss country is like a pool of stagnant water is connected to a ditch, there will be a steady stream of living water injected into it, the economy will be able to live, the people will be happy, the treasury can also become more abundant because of taxes, and then what you want to do, you don't have to be like now, everywhere is restricted, nothing can be done.

Therefore, it is imperative for the Great Yuan Kingdom to develop its economy.

But in such a situation, the Great Yuan Kingdom and the Northern Zhou Kingdom talked no less than ten times, but they did not come to an end.

It's not that the Northern Zhou Kingdom doesn't want to do business, it's just that they know very well that they are now strong enough to be on an equal footing with the Great Yuan Kingdom, but if they wait for the economic development of the Great Yuan Kingdom to raise the same soldiers and horses as them, then their advantage will no longer exist.

At that time, they will face a neighboring country with both a full treasury and strong soldiers and horses, which is definitely not a good thing for the Northern Zhou.

What's more, the Great Yuan Kingdom was able to obtain ore and other things from the Northern Zhou, but the things that the Northern Zhou could obtain from the Great Yuan Kingdom were very good, on the contrary, they went around to the Southern Tang Kingdom by sea, and they could obtain more resources such as grain and cloth.

Therefore, this is a matter that the Great Yuan Kingdom has tried to promote, but the Northern Zhou has been constantly procrastinating.

Thinking of this, Chang Xi's heart tightened slightly.

He knew better than anyone how much the emperor wanted to facilitate trade on the border.
