Chapter 6 The prince skillfully solves the problem of guests, but the world is impermanent
"Lu Shan, do you know what the purpose of our congratulations is this time? Don't spoil our lord's great affairs because of a momentary calculation. ”
"Understood, sir. It was too reckless and inconsiderate to act just now, so please forgive me. ”
"This man...... Knowing our mistakes can make a lot of difference, and now we will only gain more than we lose by talking to them. In the future, it will be a long time coming. ”
The Avogan envoy lowered his head and whispered as he picked up the wine glass in his hand and shook it gently. After hearing this, Lu Shan, the attendant sitting beside him, slightly restrained his emotions.
"This Mobei soft Afugan envoy is a powerful person, and in just a few words, he dissolved most of the tense atmosphere just now, which not only gave the Son of Heaven a step down, but also made people unable to find a reason to pick bones in the egg!"
"The fact that the messenger sent alone has such a power shows that he is the master behind him...... He must be a person to be reckoned with!"
"My son's ability to see people is more and more impressive for my father, it seems that there is a lot of harvest from this banquet in Beijing!"
Mengla, the leader of the southwestern alien race, and his son Fu Heng looked at the martial arts performance of the grassland warriors in front of them, and their thoughts sank a little, the full moon banquet of the six princes of Dacheng was much more exciting than expected!
The envoy of Mobei Rouran had another plan, planning to attack Dacheng again. Without waiting for everyone to react, the messenger Ah Fugan clapped his hands and saw that there were three steppe warriors with a tray in each hand, and a delicate short knife was placed on the tray.
"What is this for, Avgan Emissary? Are you talking about the offering the three short knives on the tray?"
"Prime Minister Han Cheng, I think that the warrior martial arts performance just now was boring for everyone to watch. Why don't we do a quiz next?"
"Guess the riddle...... It's interesting, let's talk about the rules of your game. ”
Seeing that the emperor was interested, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
"It's very simple, since it is a banquet set up by the Heavenly Family for the little prince, if the little prince recognizes which of the three short knives belongs to the Khan, it will be a victory. The winning side will receive a special reward......"
"Envoy Avogan, you can't say half of your words, it's not good to hang people's appetite all the time! What do you mean by reward?"
"Don't worry, the little son of the Dong family, as for the reward...... That is, Mobei will not violate the Dacheng border within five years. ”
"This ......"
"The envoy of Afugan said this, clearly intending to embarrass our Dacheng, the little prince has just reached the full moon, and he is just a baby, how can he guess it?"
"But it's not! I think the envoy of Afugan is clearly making things difficult! It's really annoying to say such unreasonable things!"
Some ministers in the hall couldn't sit still anymore and immediately refuted, not to mention the full moon baby, even a minister who has been dealing with Mobei all the year round may not be able to recognize the personal things of the Rouran Khan, which is obviously bullying. And the emperor and the family knew that this matter was very important, but they did not say a word.
At this time, the little prince in the emperor's arms stretched out his hand and babbled, breaking the silence. The little prince waved his arms and looked at the other princes seated. The emperor followed Mi'er's gaze and narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he understood something. Then the emperor asked the four princes to step forward, and the four princes Min Xing was stopped by his father, and he didn't know what to do for a while. When the emperor carefully put the six princes in his arms into Min Xing's hand, he let him hold the short knife that Mi'er recognized the khan.
When everyone learned about it, they whispered. I think this is inappropriate and too risky. The four princes ignored everyone's discussion and carried the six princes to the three trays, the six princes looked at it for a while, their eyes blinked, and then they saw the jade pendant on the waist of the four emperor brothers, and stretched out their little hands to tear off the jade pendant and put it on the tray on the left. Mobei Rouran's envoy Afugan was slightly stunned when he saw this scene, he didn't expect that it was just a full-moon-old baby who guessed it. As everyone knows, the actual soul of the six princes, who seem to be babies, has already changed, and they are people from another world.
"How is it? Envoy Afugan, is the emperor's guess correct?"
Under the gaze of everyone, the messenger of Rouran announced the answer. The short knife on the tray on the left is Khan's, and the little prince is right. Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this scene, and they were also amazed by the wit of the six princes.
Just when everyone thought that the envoy of Mobei Rouran Afugan would fulfill his promise, the envoy saw that the plan was mistaken and said that what he had said before still needed the consent of the khan before it could be fulfilled.
"Avgan Emissary, this is your fault. Now that the six princes have already guessed the answer, why should they not keep their promises?"
"yes......"
When the people heard this, they saw that the messenger's words did not count, and they raised objections one after another. When the emperor saw that the envoy was talking back on his words, although there was some atmosphere in his heart, he still stopped everyone, and immediately did not discuss political affairs on the grounds that the full moon banquet was still being held.
"It seems that this appetizer, the Rouran Afugan envoy did not take any advantage. ”
"Sima Zhao's heart is known to passers-by. Mobei Rouran is not an easy master to deal with, today they missed a move and missed a move, and he ...... We will not rest on our laurels. ”
"Son, didn't this Avogan envoy make an agreement with us?"
"Mother, can verbal words be counted? You see that today they are acting like this, and they are going back on their word. Maybe there are other intentions, and if there is no Khan's handwriting, then such an agreement will be dispensable. ”
Mrs. Guicheng and Chu Boyi looked at the neatly placed pastries on the table, and they suddenly felt tasteless when they were already held in the palm of their hands.
When the envoy saw the emperor's statement, he didn't say anything. After the banquet, everyone left their seats. Before leaving, the Rouran envoy offered that he would recount what had just happened at the Full Moon Feast, and that he would speak with the Khan when he returned as for the promise not to violate the border for five years. Whether the khan agrees or not is up to him. Hearing the words of the Rouran envoy, the emperor also gladly accepted it.
"Your Majesty, just let the Rouran Afugan envoy go back?"
"If you don't let him go, do you still want to arrest him and convict him?"
"But Your Majesty, doing so is tantamount to letting the tiger go back to the mountain! Who knows if what the Afugan envoy said at the banquet can really be fulfilled?"
"Han Xiang, he has the heart of a tiger and a wolf in Mobei, and according to me, the northern defense line can resist?"
"This ...... Your Majesty, even though it will take time to build and strengthen the defensive line, there are still many excellent soldiers in our dynasty who can bravely resist the enemy. ”
The emperor and Prime Minister Han looked at the crowd of people leaving the banquet as they gradually moved away, and almost argued over what they were talking about.
"Han Xiang, that's all for today's talk. Regarding Mobei Rouran, I will carefully consider it, and there are other envoys who have already lived in the post house...... Be sure to calm their emotions. ”
When Prime Minister Han Cheng saw that the emperor spoke, he bowed slightly. Looking at the figure that had already walked away, the emperor sighed deeply. What Han Xiang said, how could he not know the profound meaning of it? It's just that the current situation seems to be calm and peaceful, but he doesn't know that the forces of several parties have already been surging. Thinking of this, the worry in the emperor's heart increased a little.
