Chapter 101: The First Hero in the World
In the royal palace, the banquet held to entertain the envoys of the two countries has not yet begun.
Wang Yunning, the eldest princess of the Later Jin Dynasty, is embarrassed today, not only where Chu Yujia eats deflated, but also where Zhao Kuan eats deflated.
What actually made her angrier than the former was the latter's indifference.
This time, why did the two countries send the eldest princess to visit Ye State, and they didn't let her take charge, it was more like going through the motions, and the real ones in charge were those accompanying ministers.
In this way, wouldn't it be an extra move to take off your pants and fart?
Wouldn't it be better if you sent your son, prince and grandson or something?
After the Song Dynasty, it is good to say, after all, when the new king ascends the throne, the royal family members who can be sent out in the country, except for the eldest princess Yuan Wanyu, are almost all children who are not as tall as swords and guns.
Then Jin Ming had so many sons and grandsons who were already adults and crowns, why did they still send the eldest princess Wang Yunning over?
In fact, what their purpose is already on the surface.
It's nothing more than two words, and pro......
Maybe Yuan Wanyu didn't know what she was facing, but Wang Yunning guessed it early.
And she also guessed that her most likely relationship this time was Zhao Kuan, the eldest son of the Ye Kingdom.
At this time, the envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty had also returned from the palace hall and found Wang Yunning, who was sulking in the corner of the palace.
Seeing that the envoy was about to salute, Wang Yunning was a little upset, interrupted his saluting movements, and asked, "If you have anything to say, just say it." ”
The envoy bowed slightly and said, "Looking at King Ye's attitude, as the eldest prince expected, he didn't feel too much dissatisfaction because my country took the lead in withdrawing troops in the national war before. ”
"That's nature. ”
Wang Yunning sneered, and said with disdain on his face: "After all, we have brought one million taels of silver, although their Ye State has lost 100,000 people in the territory of Qi State, but this million taels of silver is enough to compensate for the loss of Ye State, and their Ye people are not so valuable......
Hearing this, the messenger was taken aback, hurriedly looked around, and found that there were no outsiders, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Your Highness must not be like this, this is the Ye Kingdom, and there are some things that cannot be said." ”
"Afraid of what?"
Wang Yunning raised his head and said proudly: "I want to become the princess here in the future, and if any of them dares to say more, I will tear their mouths!"
When he heard this, the messenger was full of embarrassment and said, "Your Highness, I ......."
Seeing his spitting appearance, Wang Yunning was very unhappy, and at this time he also broke out directly, saying: "What are you, if you have something to say!"
"Yes......"
The envoy owed a debt and said: "Now the first heir of the Ye Kingdom is the eldest son Zhao Kuan, but he has already married a wife, if you marry it, you will have to ......."
The last two words, he didn't say it, and he didn't dare to say it.
The dignified eldest princess of the Later Jin Dynasty is a concubine, even if the other party is the future King Ye, but after all, she is not the King of Ye now, if she marries, it will be a shame to throw her to her grandmother's house.
But if he didn't say it, how could Wang Yunning not know?
"Divorce your wife, reconcile and divorce, what's not to do?"
Wang Yunning looked indifferent, and said, "Is it possible, my eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty is not worthy of him?"
"This ......"
It's not that the envoy didn't mention this matter in front of King Ye Zhao Yan, but King Ye Zhao Yan just said that Zhao Kuan could not divorce his wife, and if he wanted to marry, he would marry someone else.
But he didn't plan to say these words to Wang Yunning, he knew the princess's temper too well, if he said it directly, the pain of flesh and skin would definitely be inevitable.
Time flies, the palace banquet is about to begin, and the officials are entering the palace one after another.
The seats at the banquet were divided according to official positions, and under the royal chair were some sisters and brothers of King Ye Zhao Yan, and the son of the prince was his father and mother sitting together.
Further down are Chu Yujia and some families with titles, and below are ordinary officials.
The seat of the palace banquet seems to be insignificant, but how many people are fighting for the ranking of this seat to be higher?
Of course, there are some people who don't care, such as Chu Yujia.
After the banquet began, Chu Yujia began to eat and drink heartlessly, constantly serving dishes to the lady next to him, and no matter what others thought of him, he still went his own way.
However, the people sitting next to Chu Yujia are also some young magnates, and the big guys are all young people, and they don't have so many scruples, which also makes the atmosphere a lot more harmonious.
The young people pushed the cups and changed the lamps, exchanging the wind and snow.
The old people toasted each other, exchanging whether there were any interesting stories happening in various places today, and at the same time, they also exchanged whose girls had not yet left the cabinet, whose sons had not yet married wives, and looked forward to a political marriage in the officialdom.
Of course, more of them are still making friends.
Ye Guo is so big, there are only a few dozen people who can stand in the court, and there are a lot of people who come to this palace banquet today, even some old nobles have come, for many people, this is a rare opportunity.
If they can get their seats to move forward one or two times in the next palace banquet, it will be a blessing for them in this life.
The lords of the vassal states are all commensurate with the king's brother and the king's brother, and their children are naturally commensurate with their brothers, and Yuan Wanyu and Wang Yunning, who are the eldest princesses of the Later Song Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty, sit in a high position and sit at the same table with the princes and daughters of the Ye Kingdom.
For this kind of palace banquet, Yuan Wanyu, who was afraid of life, seemed very uncomfortable, and she was very restrained when eating or something.
And Wang Yunning has never left Zhao Kuan since he was on the table.
Zhao Kuan and Liu Congyang have always been a model couple praised by the outside world, and their performance at the table is also like each other, you give me food, I am serving you food, the two are talking and laughing.
This is nothing in the eyes of outsiders, I will only feel that the eldest son and the eldest son's wife are very affectionate, but in Wang Yunning's opinion, there is something wrong in my heart.
In her opinion, she should be the one who sits there, and she should also be the one who will become the princess of Ye in the future.
Only by becoming the princess of Ye can she completely turn Ye into the back garden of the Later Jin Dynasty as her father said, and give the greatest support to the Later Jin Dynasty.
In Chu Yujia's few words, Zhao Kuan actually felt that this time the incident was not for Chu Yujia as he thought, but for him.
For the sake of the overall situation, he can't refuse it all at once, so he can only use this way to make him retreat.
Fortunately, Yuan Wanyu didn't seem to mean that, which also made Zhao Kuanchang breathe a sigh of relief, but Wang Yunning's hot eyes made him a little uncomfortable, even if his heart was firm, he couldn't stand this at this time.
And what made Zhao Kuan feel even more relieved was that Zhao Yan, the king of Ye, did not mean to force him to marry a wife, and it was right to think about it, everyone was not optimistic about Zhao Yan back then, so the old man Liu did his best alone, even if he was bankrupt and the Liu family couldn't open the pot, he had to let Zhao Yan spend money everywhere to dredge up the relationship.
Just chong this kindness, it is impossible for Ye Wang Zhao Yan to forget in his life.
After three rounds of drinking, the envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty stood up: "His Royal Highness King Ye, we people have been bothering your country for days, and we are also unhappy in our hearts, so we have carefully prepared gifts." ”
"Oh?"
Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows, put down his chopsticks, and said with a smile: "I don't know what kind of gift it is?"
The envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and as the music sounded, a group of beautiful and beautifully dressed dancers who had already been prepared walked out of the shadows.
The veiled lead dancer instantly attracted everyone's attention, the stunning appearance under the veil loomed, a pair of eyes were very seductive, dancing with the rhythm, sometimes charming, sometimes impassioned, and the exquisite dance was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Almost all the men present had already looked at it, and watched with obsession as the woman danced in the middle of the square, until she stopped, which was still evocative.
After a dance, the woman walked to the front of the stage, bent slightly, and her every move was full of elegance.
She said coquettishly: "Slave family, Zi Tao of the Later Jin Dynasty, knock on His Royal Highness King Ye......"
With a beautiful voice, as graceful as a yellow bird, such a woman, even if she dances a song, no one will associate her with the humble dancing queen.
If you don't take off the veil, it can already be said that the country is overwhelmed, and no one dares to imagine that such a woman, if she takes off the veil, what a celestial appearance she is.
"No need to be polite ......"
Even the well-informed Ye Wang Zhao Yan couldn't help but take a few more glances at this moment, and said with a smile: "The dance of the purple peach girl, does it have a name, where does it come from?"
"The name of this dance is called the love dance......"
Zi Tao stood up elegantly and said softly: "It's a slave family's own ......."
"Miss Purple Peach is really a talented girl. ”
"His Royal Highness King Ye has ...... love"
The envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty said with a smile: "This is me, the eldest daughter of Wang Anbei, the general of the Later Jin Dynasty, who has always respected heroes. ”
"The First Hero?"
Hearing this, Zhao Yan squinted his eyes, looked at Chu Yujia who was sitting where he was sitting and didn't take what was happening here to heart at all, and said arrogantly, "General Chu, who do you think is the number one hero in the world?"
Chu Yujia, who was suddenly named, did not have the slightest look of surprise.
Chu Yujia got up and intervened, and said with a ruffian face: "Then it depends on the king, you let me tell the truth, or let me tell lies." ”
"Oh?"
King Ye Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Then let's listen to the truth first." ”
Chu Yujia smiled and said, "If you want to ask this hero in the world, who else is there besides my King of Daye?"
Everyone likes sycophants, and King Ye Zhao Yan is no exception, but this is not what he wants to hear, because he knows what the purpose of this person is, and he also understands what the purpose of saying this is it.
"You kid, you're really a little slippery, but Lone likes it, and Lone can let you say whatever you want. ”
Zhao Yan shook his head and said with a smile: "However, Lone also has to say something, I want to ask this number one hero in the world, especially in Ye Kingdom, except for Lone's lieutenant general Chu Yujia, who is still worthy of this title?"
