Chapter 230

The emperor's gifts were presented to the emperor from the emperor's palace.

A pomegranate tree made of gold, a pair of white peacocks, two ivory, a fist big stone that will shine Emperor Wenxuan looked at it with great interest, and his expression was very satisfied.

"This is the sincerity of the people of uto to his majesty." Maningbu bowed respectfully and made a big ceremony to Emperor Wenxuan.

Emperor Wen Xuan was very comfortable.

At the beginning, the late emperor had several sons, and he was the most mediocre one. But because he was the legitimate eldest son and the crown prince, the former Emperor passed on the throne to him. After emperor Wenxuan succeeded to the throne, he did not make much achievements in political affairs as he did in his youth. If it had not been for Xu Jingfu's help, he would not have been able to sit on the throne.

For so many years, he was ambitious at the beginning, then had to admit that he was an ordinary person, and then in his heart, he felt that there was nothing wrong with it. From sitting on the throne to now, he has done a beautiful thing and raised the prestige of Wei. This is a merit that can be recorded in history.

"The kingdom of uto had been waiting for an opportunity to invade the territory of the great Wei Dynasty. How can you count such a small apology?" Emperor Wen Xuan said in a deep voice.

Maningbu bowed his head in fear: "Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding. The national strength of the state of uto is weak. How dare you compare with the great Wei Dynasty? Even if you take advantage of the courage of the state of uto, you don't dare to invade. It's just that the past and all kinds of things will not help. Not only these gifts, but also an apology to your majesty. " He looked at the Emperor Wen Xuan and said, "it is allowed that merchants of the state of uto will open a forum in the territory of the great Wei Dynasty."

Emperor Wenxuan frowned: "it is clearly in your favor to open a forum in the territory of the great Wei Dynasty. How did it become an apology? What a cunning uto

The prince stood aside and said, "father, you may as well listen to what he says."

Maningbu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the people of uto have no intention of invading the great Wei Dynasty. Opening up a forum for discussion will benefit the great Wei without any harm. Does your majesty remember that the Ming emperor of the former dynasty sent envoys to the state of Xiyue to set up a forum and learned how to herd horses from the state of Xiyue. Later, the domestic horses were magnificent and the cavalry was brave. " He stopped for a moment. "The people of uto are poor. If we can set up a forum in the great Wei Dynasty and exchange what we need with the great Wei, the people of uto will no longer have enough to eat as they used to. And every year, the state of uto is willing to give 50% of the harvest to his majesty. "

If it is said that wearing a high hat in front of him just makes emperor Wenxuan feel comfortable, but not to his heart, the last sentence of maningbu is just the emperor's mind.

You know, the Treasury is empty these years. Because the war between Huayuan and Rundu cost a lot of silver. It costs a lot of money to raise soldiers. Why did emperor Wenxuan accept utuo's request for peace? Besides that he didn't like war, he was also shy.

I don't know how long it will take to recuperate after a war. Besides, there is no silver. How can I fight? But now, when we open a trade fair, we can receive 50% of the dividends every year. The great Wei Dynasty is so big, and there are also many businessmen in Utopia Sounds like a good deal.

Emperor Wenxuan subconsciously looked at Xu Jingfu.

Xu Jingfu still trusted him. If it had not been for Xu Jingfu's support, he would not have been sitting in this position for so many years.

Xu Jingfu stood by with a smile and did not speak. Emperor Wen Xuan understood immediately and said, "I can accept the matter of seeking peace. However, the establishment of a forum is of great importance. I am the son of the great Wei Dynasty. I can't respond to you casually. I'll give you a reply after I think it over. "

Maningbu was not disappointed and knelt down in gratitude: "thank you for your kindness."

After that, the uto emissaries knelt down together and called long live the emperor. Emperor Wenxuan was in a good mood, but the prince on one side looked a little ugly. He took a look at Xu Jingfu, and his eyes were full of dark ducks.

After the uto emissary left, only Xu Jingfu and the emperor were left in the hall. The bodyguard on his side helped emperor Wenxuan to go back to the hall. Emperor Wenxuan asked, "does Xu Xiang think that how about setting up a forum in the great Wei Dynasty?"

"Although maningbu offered to give 50% of the proceeds to your majesty, the old minister thinks that we should not lightly draw a conclusion about this matter." Xu Jingfu said: "it is the great Wei Dynasty that has the upper hand in the confrontation with the state of uto. We can't be led by the uto people. Now it is said that it is 50%, but the uto are crafty. At that time, if the profits are concealed, it will be difficult for his majesty to verify them one by one. So, it's not yet time. "

On hearing this, Emperor Wen Xuan also felt that Xu Jingfu was quite reasonable. He nodded and sighed, "Xu Xiang, you are the only one around me who can share my worries for me now."

"I believe you."

With a smile, Xu Jingfu said, "it is the duty of a courtier to share the worries for your majesty. The old minister should have done so, and he is willing to do everything for his majesty."

……

As soon as the prince returned to his residence, he kicked the table in front of him. The servants around him were frightened and immediately knelt down. No one dared to step forward. Only from the inside out of a red maid, regardless of the prince's anger, went to his side, gentle mouth: "Your Highness how a temper, but in an affair with a disgusting person?"

Looking at the beauty who looked to her side, all the people in the mansion were afraid of him. When they were afraid of him, only this woman was afraid of nothing and came as usual. But this fearless, does not let the human dislike, on the contrary lets the human feel that she is in the sincere concern oneself."It's meeting a disgusting person." The crown prince took Ying Xiang and walked into the hall. As he walked, he said, "Xu Xiang, an old man, dares to do me good."

He sat down before the collapse, took the jug, poured a glass of wine, and calmed his anger. Ying Xiang nestled in his arms and said with a smile, "why is it Xu Xiang again? Recently, just listening to me, Xu Xiang has made your highness unhappy for several days. "

"You're right," Guangyan snorted, "the old man is old now, and even the affairs of our palace have to be in charge of. After watching, even the backyard of our palace will be in charge. I think the Lord thinks that he is too nosy, so he will be called the Empress Dowager in his whole life

This vicious words amused Ying Xiang to "giggle" with a smile. He also stretched out his delicate jade hand and took a drink from the wine cup in the prince's hand. He said with a smile: "of course, it's like your highness. In the future, there will be more sons and more blessings."

"What are you suggesting in this palace?" Guangyan pinched her face. The beauty was smiling and dodging. She unconsciously turned his anger into lust. She was about to kiss Fangze. There was humanity outside: "Your Highness, someone is asking for an interview."

"Who is it?" Guangyan was disappointed and spoke impatiently.

"Mr. maningbu, the messenger of uto."

Prince a Zheng, immediately put down the glass, frown and wave: "let him in."

Yingxiang also stood up, tidied up her dress and stood up to serve the prince.

Manibu came in.

He is a typical uto look, short and strong, looks simple and approachable, but when the eyes turn, it seems a little cunning. He smilingly walked to the prince's side, bowed and saluted: "Your Highness, we meet again."

When the prince saw maningbu, his impatience in the palace was aroused a little, and he only said, "sit down."

Maningbu sat down opposite the prince.

"You have seen the opening of a forum." Guangyan said: "it's not that this palace doesn't help you. This palace has tried its best."

Maningbu was still smiling, and could not see any anger. "Your highness and the Lord of the Kingdom have already agreed to help the kingdom of uto open a forum in the great Wei Dynasty. The kingdom of uto will help his highness get everything his highness wants. Is it possible that... " He spoke slowly, "has your highness given up that position?"

"Nonsense!" "What do you know?" Guangyan said angrily

"Now in the Wei Dynasty, there are not a few people who secretly support the fourth prince. The prince and the general Yun had a bad time. The emperor of Wei preferred the fourth Prince In any way, your highness is very disadvantageous. "

The prince clenched his teeth and did not speak.

Although he occupied the position of crown prince, as long as Emperor Wen Xuan did not set down an imperial edict, he would not be able to sit steadily for a day. It was easy to drive Xiao Huaijin out of shuojing. Unexpectedly, the first battle of Jiyang brought him back to fame.

Let guangshuo that soft egg sit on the throne, how reconciled?

"This is not the reason for your highness," Ying Xiang murmured, "it is clearly that Xu Xiang obstructs him. Our highness is also very willing to help the state of uto to open a forum in the great Wei Dynasty. "

Maningbu couldn't help but look up at the speaker. Seeing the beauty of the maidservant, he couldn't help being surprised for a moment.

But soon, he recovered from his beauty and said, "Xu Xiang? Recently, Xu Xiang repeatedly obstructed him. At the beginning of the first World War in Jiyang, it was because of him that he leaked the news. Your highness, "maningbu said with a smile," are you sure that Xu Xiang is from your side? "

"What do you mean?" Wide alert road.

"Nothing," said maningbu with a smile: "I just think that Xu Xiang is a smart man. Xiao Zhongwu died in Xu Xiang's hands at the beginning. As a wise man, he never exposes his cards to others. Why should his Highness believe that Xu Xiang's support for his highness is really his support? "

"Don't try to stir up the relationship between the palace and Xu Xiang!" Guangyan sneered: "cunning uto, how can this palace be deceived by you?"

"Your Highness doesn't believe it." Maningbu said with a smile: "however, I still want to say more. If your highness just can't give up Xu Xiang's personal contacts and relationships, instead of paying too much attention to Xu Xiang himself, he doesn't have to be so embarrassed. Because... " Maningbu said in a soft voice: "in the Wei Dynasty, Xu Jingfu is not the only one who can help his highness. Just as Xiao Zhongwu can be replaced by Xiao Huaijin, Xu Jingfu can also be replaced by younger people. In the same way, young eagles are easier to train than adult snakes, aren't they? "

Guangyan looked at him thoughtfully, but maningbu laughed and stood up, "Your Highness, don't reply me too soon. After a few days, when your majesty holds a banquet to entertain the messengers of uto, it is not too late to reply. " He told his entourage, "I will go back first. After a few days, I will listen to your Highness's good news."

Manibu left.

Only Yingxiang and Guangyan were left in the hall.

Guangyan looks uncertain, thinking about the words of maningbu just now. Although he said that he would not be provoked by the other party's words, he was shaken in the end.Xu Xiang is a wise man. Recently, he often contradicts himself on the issue of the uto people. He knows clearly that if he doesn't do what the utopian people say, he may have nothing, but he still does it willfully regardless of his position. I thought he was getting more out of tune as he got older, but now But it's not sure.

Has Xu Xiang been bought by guangshuo from a long time ago?

……

He family these days, but a lively.

Bai Rong Wei and Xiao Jing went to the door again a few days ago. He Yan and Xiao Jue's marriage. As we all know, at the celebration banquet, his majesty married Chu Zhao and Xu pingting, Heyan and Xiao Jue. Chu Zhao and Xu pingting will be married next month. Xiao Jue and he Yan's marriage date, after Bai Rong Wei asked Gao Ren to calculate, determined two days.

One is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year and the other is the tenth day of the new year.

He Yan is not in the house. Although he is an official with no real power, he still has to do things every day, even though they are miscellaneous things. When he Yunsheng heard Bai Rongwei's words, he frowned at the first time and said, "isn't that just more than one month's preparation time? Is it too hasty?"

Hesui was also very happy at first, but he felt a bit wrong when he Yunsheng said so.

"He Er childe don't have to worry," Bai Rong said with a smile: "Huaijin's marriage, in fact, I and Rubi have been preparing for him two or three years ago. But Huaijin, the child has not liked the girl, even if prepared, can only put. Now that your majesty has given her marriage, Huaijin also likes Miss he very much. Naturally, there is no need to delay. I'll send the bride price list to you tomorrow. "

"Two or three years ago?" He Yunsheng also doubted, "you don't even know who is the person that governor Xiao likes. How can you prepare the bride price?"

This time, it was Xiao Jing who said seriously: "in the Xiao family, marriage is not the highest level. As long as it is the girl Huaijin likes, it will be the best. So the betrothal gift will not be less. "

"Yunsheng can't speak. Don't blame Mr. Xiao." He Sui glared at he Yunsheng, "we are not afraid of the bride price. Yan Yan is my daughter. My wife passed away early. I brought him up. Although our family is not rich, Yan Yan has been pampered since childhood. I don't care, just... " He looked at Bai Rongwei, who was always easy-going and honest, and was a little more serious about Chen su. "The man my daughter married must love her and love her as much as I treat her. The betrothal gift is for others to see. Yunsheng and I can't spend a few money on weekdays. I don't care. What I care about is the life when Yan Yan enters the Xiao family. "

He said with a smile: "I'm a rude man who can't speak. I know that the Xiao family has an extraordinary position in the great Wei Dynasty. It's our family's high position, but I'm not boasting. Looking at the whole Wei Dynasty, my daughter is also unique. I just want to know... " His tone was unusually sharp, "when Yan Yan enters the mansion, governor Xiao will take concubines. If so, I don't mind waiting for another year or two to get my daughter married. If not, I don't have any opinions on the seventh or tenth day of the first day of the lunar new year. "

He Yunsheng looks at his father in surprise.

He always looked down on hesui's good face towards the Xiao family, and always felt as if he was catching up with others. Even if his Majesty gave him a marriage, he Yan was a girl's family, so he had to be more reserved. If people think that they are good at grasping, will he Yan be killed in the future? Don't mention these high doors. Even if you live in the alleys of ordinary people like them, you can hear rumors that the husband's family is bullying the new daughter-in-law.

He thought that hesui would quickly agree to the marriage between Heyan and Xiao Jue according to granny Xiao's words, but he didn't expect that hesui's problem was so acute.

Their family was poor, and hesui took a wife. Even after his wife died, he never thought about extending his string or taking a concubine. This is natural. He Yunsheng didn't think there was anything wrong with him, but it was so in poor families. It was not easy to support one more person. However, he Yunsheng was different. He Yunsheng started to study in the University. Many of his classmates with good family background would have several aunts in his family.

This is true of the rich, not to mention the aristocratic children.

He Yunsheng did not think about this, but he deliberately avoided it when he thought about it. Because your Majesty's gift of marriage is not changeable, and the world is like this. It is normal for a rich and powerful family to have three wives and four concubines. If not, the mistress will be scolded and envied by others.

But now, hesui didn't hide anything, so he said it directly. What's more, there is also a bit of threat that if Xiao Jue dares to take a concubine, he will not marry his daughter. What about your Majesty's gift of marriage? It's hard to say. Your majesty is not young now. Heyan is just in his prime. After a few years, everyone has gone. Who cares whether to marry or not.

A son of heaven and a courtier, who knows what tomorrow will be like? Rules. When there is no choice, it is a rule. When some choose, it is a fart!

Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing looked at each other for a moment. After a while, Bai Rongwei chuckled and said, "master he is joking. Xiao's family has never had the rules of concubines."

"When father-in-law and mother-in-law were alive, there were no concubines in the house. I have been married to ruby for many years, and there is no one else. Huaijin should be like this. "Xiao Jing also said: "master he's saying this, maybe he despises Huaijin too much. It is because he girl is a unique woman in Wei Dynasty that Huaijin has deep love for her. Huaijin's temperament, I do a big brother very clearly, identified a thing, will not look at the side of one eye. I dare to take the whole Xiao family to swear, Huaijin this life, in addition to he girl, there will be no other woman. If he can't believe me, he can ask Huaijin again. But, "he said with a smile," if you have said this thing for thousands of times, people who don't keep their promise will still abandon it. People who really promise will take it in mind, needless to say. "

He Yunsheng looks at Xiao Jing and says secretly in his heart, just like he protects Heyan. Xiao Rubi, it seems, also protects Xiao Huaijin. The two brothers are in such a good relationship that they should have a good family atmosphere.

The two young masters of the Xiao family, one of whom is as gentle as spring breeze and the other as autumn water, are both dragons and phoenixes in human beings. If they say something, they will certainly be able to do it.

Hesui laughed: "no, I have trusted the eldest young master and commander Xiao. On the seventh or tenth day of junior high school, I have no opinion! "

Bai Rong Wei also followed with a smile, "that's great. From today on, I began to write posts, so as not to delay the auspicious time."

After discussing with hesui about the marriage for a while, Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing got up and left. After a few days, Xiao Xiao thought that his father would not trust him

He Sui said, "fifty percent."

"What?" He Yunsheng almost jumped up, "didn't you just say that you can trust their brothers? I really believe what you said

"I didn't grow up with them. I've only heard of it. How can I know if what they said is true or false. Lu Yao knows that his horse power has seen people's hearts for a long time, but I have only seen them a few times. Do you think you can read mind skills? " He Sui scolded.

"Then you..."

"I just want a guarantee from them, and let the Xiao family know that although our family is poor and not an official family, our family is not easy to bully. If Yan Yan had been wronged in their house, I would not have let them have a better life. "

"Come on," he Yunsheng didn't believe it. "If we fight together, we may not be able to move one finger."

He Sui slapped him on the head and said, "how can you destroy your prestige as long as other people's ambition?"? When can I learn from your sister? "

"What do you want to learn? She'll be happy when she sees governor Xiao?" He Yunsheng sneered, "besides, if governor Xiao really wants to take concubines in the future, we'll jump up and down in a hurry. Maybe he Yan's lack of heart doesn't care about himself, and he'll help people with money foolishly."

"She will not."

"What?"

He Sui bowed his head and laughed, "Yan Yan will not."

"The child seems to be very arrogant, not bad hearted, and sometimes a bit stubborn. Xiao Rubi said that his younger brother would not look at the other side if he identified one thing. Yan Yan, "he said with nostalgia:" when she was a child, she took her to the market to pick up skirts. If she saw the most beautiful one, she must get that one. The other is more expensive and better, and she doesn't want it. "

"I said those words just to scare the Xiao family. Yan Yan really wants to marry. I won't stop her. I can see that Yan Yan likes Xiao Huaijin. She looks at Xiao Huaijin just like your mother looked at me. "

He Yunsheng was moved by hesui's words at first. When he heard the last word, he immediately stopped moving. "Don't talk about that," he said. What's more, he yanduo is stubborn. Before that, she didn't like fan, but she didn't mention him again

There is another word he Yunsheng didn't dare to say. When Fan Cheng died, he Yan was as calm as an ant on the roadside, and his tears didn't drop.

Hesui: "can that be the same? Fan is not a person. "

He Yunsheng:
