Chapter 220

The envoy of the Dongling state took the lead in standing up. "Emperor Nalan, I heard that the Empress Dowager likes listening to music. Our emperor specially sent a famous musician of the Dongling state to play a song to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday."

The emperor smiled and said, "the emperor of Dongling has a heart! Last year's song was really impressive! Just like the sound of nature, will it be more beautiful this year? I really look forward to it, empress dowager, are you right?"

"Of course. Thank the emperor Dongling for his concern. The mourners are all ears!"

The envoy of dongdou glanced at the girl around him.

Huang Yuying stood up and gave a blessing. "Emperor, empress dowager, it is said that the people of Nalan worship rites and music. Nalan's music is unparalleled in the world and can wash their hearts! It is a great honor for Yuying to attend the birthday banquet as the second-largest musician of Dongling country! Do you have the opportunity to compete with the musicians of Nalan country and enjoy the style of a great country?"

The emperor looked at Huang Yuying with a smile. "Of course! I don't know how the envoy of Dongling wants to compete?"

"I take out my music for your musician to play, and your musician also takes out his own music for me to play. Whoever plays the other person's music well wins?"

"Yes!" Emperor Naran readily responded.

At this time, the envoy of the Dongling state said, "since it's a competition, it's boring not to take some color heads! How about this? If the musicians of the Nalan state win, the salt tribute of the Dongling state will be increased by 20%, and the price of salt sold to the Nalan state will also be reduced by a penny; if the Dongling state wins, how about reducing the tribute of the Dongling state by 20%?"

The ministers are here again!

Shameless Dongling people!

There are few salt lakes in Nalan, and sea salt cannot be eaten. Therefore, Emperor Taizu asked the Dongling state to pay tribute to salt, which was almost enough for half of the people in the country!

However, there were few people at that time, and now there are dozens of times more people, which is far from enough!

If it's not enough, you have to buy it at a high price from Dongling and other countries, so the salt in Nalan has always been very expensive.

Last year, I lost the competition and reduced the tribute by 20%, that is, 10000 tons of salt. The price of salt has risen by a penny.

Another 20% reduction this year is unimaginable!

Therefore, the officials of Naran are worried!

Someone couldn't help rolling his eyes

"If you wish a birthday, why don't you make a competition and give a good song! This is a sincere birthday?"

These Dongling people repeat their old tricks again. Who was fooled by them?!

"No! I don't know. I thought you Dongling didn't keep your promise and found an excuse not to pay tribute again!"

The lesson of last year is still fresh in my mind!

Still want to compete? no way!

Never be fooled!

The envoy of the West China country didn't think it was too big and said, "the envoy of the East Mausoleum country just wanted to be lively, but what's the excitement of the performance? But since Nalan country can't compare with the East Mausoleum country, forget it!"

The envoy of the state of Southern Xinjiang is a woman, especially petite and beautiful. At this time, he also smiled and said, "Yuying girl of Dongling, do you want to experience the etiquette and music style of a great country? I don't think it's necessary! You don't even dare to compete. I think the world-famous etiquette and music is also in vain! If you don't dare to challenge this act, you will win!"

Huang Yuying smiled. "Yuying will play a song for the Empress Dowager now to let the Empress Dowager feel the spirit of our Dongling Music - don't give up, never give up!"

All civil and military officials are angry!

It's becoming more and more obvious that these people stir up trouble and don't think it's too big!

All of them don't want to take the opportunity to pay tribute!

Dongling state has developed rapidly in recent decades.

Dongling is located in the southernmost part of the mainland, with a warm climate and fertile land. The average grain yield per mu is more than 500 Jin!

The yield per mu is more than 100 kilograms than that of Naran!

Moreover, there are many salt lakes in Dongling state, and the income from selling salt to the Treasury every year is much higher!

The weather is good again and again, the people have plenty of food and clothing, and the Treasury is full of silver!

The emperor of Dongling is also an emperor with great talent for governing the country, so he has developed very fast!

They no longer want to pay tribute to Naran.

But Naran will not agree! Bijing was the emperor Taizu of Nalan who helped Dongling drive away the invasion of Nanjiang. The Lord of Dongling offered to pay tribute!

What's wrong now!

The Minister of rites gave a cold hum in his heart and stood up. "It's different. We Nalan don't dare to compete. We just give way. We don't want you to lose. We say Nalan bullies its affiliated countries. We're worried that you'll add another 20% of the tribute and lose a penny."

The envoy of Dongling disdained in his heart and said respectfully on the surface, "I see! Our Dongling country has a vast territory and abundant resources, and there are many salt lakes. It's not bad for that 20%. If Dongling country loses, add two more Chengdu lines!"

The emperor smiled. "We Nalan can't afford to lose! Let's try it according to the words of the envoy of Dongling! If you lose Dongling, you'll add 40% of the tribute, and the price of salt will be reduced by one Wen and one money! You have to find a way to win the gift of Dongling!"

All the ministers changed their faces!

How? This Huang Yuying is the younger sister of Huang Yuyan last year, and her talent is higher!

Sitting there quietly and warm, looking at the provocations of various countries, I thought, how can the dignity of a big country be trampled on? This must be compared! Otherwise, you will have to advance an inch in the future!

The prime minister immediately said, "why should the emperor pay attention to these little tricks! Compete with the great musicians in Nalan! Not everyone deserves it!"

"Emperor, the prime minister is right! We Nalan won, and the Dongling Kingdom doesn't know if it won't admit it. Why compare!"

The emperor raised his hand and said, "don't say more! Otherwise everyone thinks we Naran are cowards and counsels!"

"The emperor is the emperor. I can't compare that breadth of mind and bearing!" The envoy of the Dongling Kingdom smiled when he saw that the plot had succeeded again.

Huang Yuying echoed, "a great country really has the style of a great country! I don't know which great musician Nalan sent to compete?"

Huang Yuying knows that Nalan was once a famous musician. Old, old, dead! There are no successors!

The Empress Dowager's zither skills are good. Can you let the Empress Dowager compare?

Are you not afraid of losing face to the big four?

Dongling state also made up its mind. Nalan state can't refuse!

How can the dignity of a big country be provoked casually!

The emperor shook his head. "There is no need for a big musician in our country for a small competition! A musician selected from the people can deal with it!"

Huang Yuying seemed unable to hear the insult in her words and smiled, "there are indeed a large number of talents in a great country! Yuying should have a good experience!"

When the gentle solo was told that the emperor chose her to compete with the envoys of the Dongling state, she was very excited!

Finally it's her turn to play.

She wants to be famous all over the world!

She must win the game, defeat Dongling and win glory for her country!
