Chapter 197: Cold Moon
Out of the need for mutual trust, Gesli Khan wanted to marry Princess Lengyue, the princess of the Central Plains Empire, and become the son-in-law of the Emperor of the Central Plains Empire.
Princess Lengyue is a woman who likes poetry and songs, and when she learned that she was going to be married to the grassland barbarians, she withdrew all the eunuchs and maids, locked herself in her princess's boudoir - listening to the moon palace, and cried for three days and three nights, only crying so that the wind and clouds changed color and the sun and moon were dull.
At that time, whether it was the emperor himself, or countless concubines and nurses, no one was seen!
Even his favorite Persian agate cat and Yue's delicate dog were kept outside the palace, whether it was scratching or jumping, whether it was meowing or meowing, it couldn't make Princess Lengyue go downstairs, and it couldn't make the princess stop her "huh......
Three days later, Princess Lengyue opened the door, and she was already described as withered and haggard, comparable to Qu Zi, who was directly degraded, exiled to Yuanxiang, and was about to die by the river.
When the emperor saw his beloved daughter in such a situation, his liver and intestines were broken, and he hated to tear the friendship covenant in half, and take up a gun and go on the horse to fight the steppe khanate for 500 years! However, when he finally made up his mind to announce his plan to break the contract in the court, he was strongly opposed by a group of courtiers, and even the old minister touched the pillar and died, and he did not hesitate to use the method of "corpse admonition" to prevent the emperor's dishonesty in front of the barbarians.
And when the ministers saw the old prime minister's blood flowing like a river, they also followed suit, and for a time above the court, the sound of "dong dong" with their heads touching the pillars was endless, just like the drums of the grassland tribes when the iron horses went south to conquer. As a last resort, the emperor had to descend to the Danqi and personally come to the pillar of the hall to stand in front of the pillar to prevent the loyal ministers from going forward, but how to resist the mighty momentum of this bowed head and rushed forward, until the emperor was knocked unconscious to the ground, the ministers came to their senses and stopped this practice of expressing loyalty with attitude.
When the emperor was helped up by the eunuchs and re-ascended to the Danqi, he looked down at the heads of the ministers who were knocked into the big bags one by one, and then waved his hand lightly and said, "That's it!" I'm convinced! You Aiqing did not hesitate to die and defend the reputation of the empire with your life, how can I damage it with my own selfishness! Alas! Let my little padded jacket Princess Lengyue marry! ”
When the ministers heard the emperor's words, they immediately knelt on the ground, and shouted long live: "The emperor is shengming!" ”
"Retreat! Alas! I'm so scared of you! When the emperor retreated, he pointed to the kneeling people below, shook his head helplessly, and then left the Jinluan Hall with the support and embrace of the eunuchs.
At this moment, all the ministers walked forward on their knees, lying on the corpse of the old prime minister who had died, and crying, and directly turned the Jinluan Hall into a mourning hall: "Old Prime Minister, you are worth your death!" Your old man has gone all the way! ”
And when the emperor came to Princess Lengyue's Tingyue Palace again, he only felt that he was embarrassed and couldn't explain to the palace master, but the princess said coldly to the emperor: "Father of the emperor, the child knows what you want to say, don't worry, I'll marry!" ”
When the emperor heard this, he almost knelt down for his daughter with weak knees!
"Princess, I ...... I ...... "Thousands of words choked in my throat and turned into tears.
"Father, how did you become clumsy! Are you the same in court? In that case, wouldn't it be a loss of the dignity of the emperor! Princess Leng Yue's face was still as pale as ice, and there was a hint of coolness in her words.
"Princess, I ...... I'm sorry for you, you said, if there's anything I need to do, I'll promise you! Since the Emperor ascended the throne, he had never heard such cool words, and at this moment, it sounded like an amnesty, and his mouth, no, the dragon's mouth had become a lot sharper.
"Well, I'll say that! I want my father to select 10,000 volumes of poetry and books and craftsmen from all over the empire as my dowry gift! ”
"What else? Gold, silver, pearls, jade, silk and satin, ......etc., "After hearing this, the emperor felt that this was too simple, and such a thin dowry was really impossible to handle, and greatly lost the dignity of the emperor's family.
"Not at all!" The princess was still as pale as ice.
"Oh, I...... Promise you. ......"The emperor wanted to say a few words of comfort, but the princess turned her face away, leaving the emperor with a cold, black back of her head!"
"Then please go back to the Emperor! Princess Leng Yue sends off the Emperor! "Having said that, he does not bow down and give alms.
"That'...... Then I'm gone! Hello, princess! After that, the emperor tried hard to change from a kneeling position to a standing position, and tried twice without success, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly helped to pull, and the emperor shook off the eunuch's arm, and was very stubborn to get up by himself, but in the end he was pulled up by the eunuch.
"I ...... Isn't it old? When the emperor was carried away by the eunuch from Tingyue Tower, he glanced back, expecting a familiar figure to lean against the window and look at it, but no.
"Where is it, the Great Emperor Dragon is still healthy, how can he say the word 'old'!" The eunuch listened to the emperor's words, and he also felt some emotion.
"Alas! ......" The Emperor sighed, stopped speaking, and silently walked through the square in front of Tingyue Tower.
Upstairs listening to Yueyue, Princess Leng Yue sat silently for a while, and when he suddenly got up and looked out the window, the figure of the Great Emperor had disappeared.
Soon, the auspicious day of peace agreed between the Central Plains Empire and the steppe khanate was approaching.
The scouts came to report that Gesli Khan of the steppe khanate had led a thousand troops, with a large cart of tigers, leopards, bears, wolves, eagles, roe deer, muntjac rabbits, a large group of good horses, fat sheep, white cattle and black donkeys, and a number of bows and arrows for each of the dried meat and horse milk.
Hearing this report, the emperor hurriedly issued an edict, ordering the new prime minister to quickly set the agenda and handle peace affairs, just don't lose the dignity of the Central Plains Empire, don't treat Princess Lengyue badly.
Originally, the affairs of the peace and relatives were all handled by the old prime minister of the Central Plains Empire. Since the death of the old prime minister, the new prime minister has little understanding of the matter of peace and kinship, and he is not very proficient in the language of the steppe khanate, which leads to the auspicious day of peace, and the various customs and etiquette of the two sides are still unable to be unified.
As a last resort, the new prime minister had to put on a posture of "responding to all changes with the same", and reprimanded all the officials and officials who participated in the send-off ceremony that day:
"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen! The old prime minister left behind, leaving such a mess, I, a newcomer, am a second monk, so tomorrow's matter, you just have to deal with it according to your own ideas, and I don't ask if it's right or wrong! If there is any mistake or omission, I will go to the emperor with my head, and it has nothing to do with you! ”
So you ate the pill of reassurance, and everything was prepared according to your own will.
