【401】The local tyrant asks to marry the princess of An Guo
Emperor Xuanren rubbed the bracelet and noticed the lines on it. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was quite delicate. Each bead was engraved with a dragon. All the dragons had different shapes and were lifelike. The tiny scales were all clear.
visible.
"The carving workmanship is pretty good."
Xiaocao chuckled, "My son carved it."
Emperor Xuanren was surprised, "Anguo actually has such skills."
"Aside from medical skills, I am also good at carving. The most important thing in learning carving is to practice your hands and flexibility."
Emperor Xuan Ren nodded. Such hands are not something that can be obtained casually.
"I went to the inn before. How is the situation of Princess Liujia?"
Xiaocao saw that the second prince Liu Kuai was already present. Did he not ask before? "Fortunately, although the situation is a little serious, I have already prescribed medicine. After two or three days, it should be obviously improved.
"
"That being the case, Prince Xiao doesn't have to worry." As soon as the words were turned on, it fell on Xiao Yu, the second prince of Liugao.
When his name was suddenly called, Xiao Yu hurriedly stood up and said, "When it comes to medical skills, Qi Chao is undoubtedly the first among all countries, and Princess An Guo, Qi Chao's imperial doctors all praised her and regarded her as their teacher.
My sister's problem is nothing to worry about as far as Princess Anguo is concerned. I haven't had time to thank Princess Anguo before, so Xiao Yu would like to thank her."
"Prince Xiao, you're polite, it's just a trivial matter." Xiaocao was absolutely gentle and dignified at this moment, not irritating at all. Someone was coming forward, so naturally she didn't need to say anything or do anything.
The corners of Prince Xiao's mouth moved, as if he was having trouble speaking.
Emperor Xuanren didn't think there was anything wrong at all. This was just the kind of person his daughter was.
He turned around and said a few words to Xiaocao, and then asked her to leave. She was probably quite bored staying here.
Xiaocao felt strange and left, but after leaving, Xiaocao was still wondering, why did she go in here? It seemed unnecessary, but she couldn't figure out this kind of thing.
I don’t want to think about it anymore.
It didn't take long for Xiaocao to meet Wei Tingyu who was coming here, and he smiled unconsciously, "Tingyu."
"Xuan'er." Wei Tingyu also smiled lightly, "Are you going to see the emperor?"
"Yes. Just now I saw that all the powerful officials of third rank and above were there. Did Tingyu have something to do before?"
"Well, Kaipingwei is quite busy these days."
"Then go in quickly, I'll go find my mother and the others." He knew that Wei Tingyu did it, but he didn't have any thoughts about it. This was probably a tacit understanding between the two of them.
Wei Tingyu nodded, paused for a moment and then spoke again, "Xuan'er just do her own thing. Don't worry about anything else. You are already very tired, so why bother working anymore? We have everything covered."
He meant something, and Xiaocao didn't need to know what he actually said, just understanding the superficial meaning was enough. "I know."
Wei Tingyu watched Xiaocao leave until his figure completely disappeared. He didn't know if he thought of something. His eyes darkened a few degrees. Then he walked towards the main hall where Emperor Xuanren and others were. But when he reached the door, his face suddenly turned gloomy.
Come down, because someone is actually asking Emperor Xuanren to marry Princess Anguo.
When Emperor Xuanren was talking to Xiaocao just now, the others watched and listened quietly. Most of the envoys had never seen Xiaocao before.
Naturally, they knew less about the major and minor matters in Qi Chao Imperial City and the relationships between various characters. For example, they probably knew just that little bit during the conversation with Emperor Xuanren just now.
Then someone expressed his love at first sight for Princess An Guo and wanted to marry her.
To say that this person is not from that small country, nor is it a tributary of Qi Dynasty. In comparison, the national power is not weak. It can be regarded as a truly friendly and good neighbor with Qi Dynasty, and there are many trade exchanges. Moreover, this country
Well, there is an extreme situation. There are many thieves in gold mines, silver mines and gem mines, so the national title is "Treasure". However, in other aspects, it is just a little...
Of course, the Bao Kingdom has only developed in the past one or two hundred years, and the country's name "Bao" is less than a hundred years old.
In the past, no one had discovered those mineral deposits. Therefore, although the area was not small, it was generally very poor. It was so poor that other countries had no interest in it at all, and then suddenly became prosperous at a certain point.
What was first discovered was gemstones and jade. As long as they were mined and processed, it was relatively simple. I probably knew the potential dangers brought by sudden wealth. At first, I still tightened my belt and thought about it secretly.
I started bit by bit, but later because I couldn't hide it anymore, other small countries discovered the clues, and they made a big gamble and asked Qi Chao for help.
Baoguo was also really lucky. When he met the Qi Dynasty Emperor, he was not a bellicose, so he accepted Baoguo's benefits and helped.
Houmanbao Kingdom is getting better and better, and has good luck. It has not met the emperor who wants to dominate the Qi Dynasty - of course, it may be that he has been restrained by Liuqian - and has maintained a good relationship. So far, in other aspects
It's getting better and better.
"Your Majesty Emperor Xuanren, I would like to offer you one million taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, and ten cartloads of other precious stones to marry Princess Anguo of your country. I hope you will agree." His words were quite sincere.
.
And many people choked or were choked because of this, and secretly cursed in their hearts that Baoguo was a damn "nouveau riche". At the same time, they felt all kinds of envy, jealousy, and hatred, because he was too rich.
, can eat these as food.
How many people's eyes fell on the prince of Baoguo. His body was absolutely jewel-like. No one present was more shining than him. In fact, this man was actually pretty good-looking and he was from the nouveau riche.
The breath is too heavy.
Emperor Xuanren was indifferent, "I pray that the court will not reconcile."
"Your Majesty Emperor Xuanren, you have misunderstood. This is not a marriage, but Xiao Wang simply wants to marry Princess Anguo. Of course, if she can marry Baoguo, the relationship between the two countries will be even closer. There is no doubt about it.
"
"Anguo has been engaged for a long time and will get married in September this year."
"It's just an engagement, just cancel it. Even if you are married, it can be discussed. For example, Baoguo can compensate Princess Anguo's husband. These are small things." Prince Baoguo said with great wealth.
"Anguo will not marry outside. If Prince Hei (Tonghe) is interested, I still have a daughter of the right age." It is impossible to say that the betrothal gift offered by Prince Baoguang is really generous, and that Emperor Xuanren is not moved at all, so
, can be replaced by other daughters.
What else does the Prince of Treasure want to say...
"Personally, I think it would be better for the Black Prince to give up the idea or listen to our emperor's opinion." Wei Tingyu walked in without even greeting Emperor Xuanren. His eyes were like knives. If Prince Bao Wang said one more thing, he probably wouldn't.
It would be as simple as wanting to kill someone.
The precious prince was startled by his eyes, "Who are you?"
Wei Tingyu withdrew his gaze and said, "I'm sorry to see you, Your Majesty, but I'm being disrespectful, so please forgive me."
Emperor Xuanren waved his hand, then pointed at Wei Tingyu and introduced to Prince Baoguo: "This is Anguo's fiancé."
When the Black Prince heard this, he became more energetic and said, "That's just right. We can discuss it. What do you want to do before you are willing to break off the engagement?"
"We will not break off the engagement no matter what, and even if we break off the engagement, Princess An Guo will not marry outside the family. Don't you understand what our emperor is saying?" Wei Tingyu was even thinking about the possibility of leaving this prince behind completely.
The prince of Baoguang seemed to have reacted now and looked at Emperor Xuanren with a little hope.
"If the Black Prince has no other intention, then let it go. An Guo really doesn't want to marry anyone else."
It is impossible to double this betrothal gift.
The Black Prince wanted to give it up, but the envoy behind him touched him, and he swallowed the words on his lips, "Can His Majesty Emperor Xuanren allow the little king to think about it again and make a decision for a few more days?
"
"Can."
Qi Chao will not send a princess to marry him, but the original intention of "marriage" is to seek harmony between the two countries. However, there is no discord between Baoguo and Qi Chao, so the nature of the marriage proposal will be different. If there is a princess
If you marry her, you will definitely be the future treasured queen, so it is indeed not impossible to consider.
Since there is such a beginning, if Baoguo's marriage proposal is successful, Qi Zhao's protection of Baoguo will be deepened, and other aspects of trade will also develop further. Obviously Baoguo's envoys have more considerations than their princes.
.
The prince of the Treasure Kingdom only fell in love with Xiaocao at first sight, rather than being deeply in love with her. Therefore, it was not that Emperor Xuanren couldn't listen to his opinions, but he still felt a little aggrieved in his heart, even though he was not his father's only one.
My son is the confirmed heir, but he still can’t marry the girl he likes. I’m sad...
Skipping this point, the things I will talk about next are generally relatively peaceful. Even if there are occasional disputes, they will not be too much. After all, today is the birthday of Emperor Xuanren. If you piss someone off,
That would clearly be contempt for his majesty as an emperor, and it might not end well at that time. Whatever thoughts and thoughts you have, you can postpone the discussion later. After all, the missions did not leave immediately after Emperor Xuanren's birthday.
In fact, the real business will come after today.
In this imperial city, there are actually not many officials with real power above the third rank. There are almost twenty civil and military officials. The generals are generally younger than the civil officials. Wei Tingyu leads the Kaiping Guard. As a commander, he is considered a military general.
However, the Kaiping Guard is quite special, and naturally the commander may not necessarily be a military general.
However, no matter what, he should be the most eye-catching among the civil and military officials. Of course, it is also because he came relatively late.
In addition, King Dingbei, who usually has little sense of presence, appears to be quite strong when facing Qi Chao Liujie, not to mention other times, especially when facing a certain military general in Liujia, his momentum is so strong,
It is definitely something that the civil and military officials of North Korea and China have never seen before.
There was no way, who had let this military attaché fight him, not just once or twice. After the other party suffered countless losses at the hands of Mu Bei, he tried his best to plot against Mu Bei once, and this time
After all, Mu Bei was also in a relatively miserable situation. Although, in order to plot against Mu Bei, the losses in that battle were also quite large.
The price was so high, it would have been best if Mu Bei was killed, but unfortunately, they didn't get what they wanted.
Liu Gao's people originally thought that even if Mu Bei was immortal, he would be completely crippled. However, when they saw him today, he looked just like an ordinary person. The moment they saw Liu Gao's people, he was still very intimidating.
.
——Speaking of which, when they first encountered it, the general Liu Qiao’s eyes were as wide as bells, and he couldn’t believe it.
Although he didn't speak, when his eyes met, murderous intent was everywhere, like lightning and thunder.
——This is the most direct meeting of enemies, and they are extremely jealous.
Emperor Xuanren was sitting at the top, but he didn't say much and looked calm and composed.
Others don't know whether he will enable Mu Bei and let him return to northern Xinjiang. Emperor Xuanren himself knows best. He is determined to solve the serious problem of Liuqiang in his lifetime. Therefore, as long as Mu Bei's body allows, he will return sooner or later.
Northern Xinjiang.
The time was almost up, Emperor Xuanren moved over, and the birthday banquet was naturally still at the same location as the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu feast. The difference this time was that there were no "thousands of men and women", and the seats were relatively spread out, facing the main seat in the square.
A huge stage has been set up at the other end of the stage. Of course, not just opera, but most of all other performances will be completed on it.
Chapter completed!
