The Times Spent in Pretense

After the gifts from all countries were almost sent, the envoys turned their curiosity to the emperor of the Jinbo Kingdom. From time to time, they ran to provoke Jin Guo, and finally they were beaten to the cry of the overbearing country, and they would be sent to Jin Guo. What gift?

Jin Bo knew that everyone else was watching their jokes. They were angry, they were angry, but they... they could only let them read the jokes.

As a defeated country, they can't send what they can't eat like the tortoiseshell.Knowing this hundred national banquet, it was Emperor Changlong who defeated them in the display, and they also smiled and stretched their faces over to make people beat.

When Jin Po read out the name of the long gift list, the envoys of other countries were silent.It seems that Jin Po was really frightened this time, and he lost so much.

"Respected His Majesty Changlong, his vassals, etc. came with the sincerity of our Majesty." Kimber envoy said, "It's just that the second prince of the country has been a guest in your country for a long time, and your lord also sent your lord to the second prince of the country. . The great prince of the country has always advocated the culture of your country, and the great prince is willing to send the great prince to study in your country."

Everyone was shocked that Jin Po was going to exchange the eldest son for the second son?It seems that the eldest prince really has no place in the Kimber Kingdom, and his father regards him as an exchange item.

"The great prince of your country is willing to study in my Dajin, and I am naturally very welcome." Emperor Changlong nodded calmly.

The Jinbo envoys were delighted, and it seemed that Emperor Changlong was willing to return to His Royal Highness.

"You have made a few words wrong." The prince said blankly, "Prince Ava was not a guest in my Dajin, but a prisoner of my Dajin. He led troops to slaughter innocent people in our country, and his hands were stained with blood. There are no such guests in Dajin."

"His Royal Highness, I would like to exchange the Five Cities for His Royal Highness."

"Five cities?" The prince stood up, he stood tall and looked proudly at the Jinbo envoy under the steps, imposing force, "I have a good warrior in Dajin, there are millions of heroes. Don't talk about the five cities. , Even if it is difficult to take down your ten and twenty cities of Jinbo?"

"We don't want to fight anymore, because we are teachers of benevolence and righteousness, we don't want the world's souls to be tarnished, nor do you want to cause the Jinbo civilians to suffer and be displaced." The prince stepped down the steps slowly, with no mercy, "but Wa Nai was the sinner who hurt my Dajin people. If this sinner were put to Jinbo, how should our Ji family face the people in the world?"

"The crown prince said something very reasonable." Emperor Changlong set his sights on the other sons and courtiers. "Tell me, what should we do about this?"

"Father and Emperor, the children thought that the words of the third eldest brother were reasonable." The five princes stood up first. "Prince Ava committed a lot of evil deeds in our Dajin, and he should not be allowed to return to Jinpo."

"Children seconded." King Ning stood up and saluted. "How can the people of Huzhou return?"

The King looked at the prince who was in the limelight, snorted coldly, and got up and said, "Children...same opinion as the prince."

"Old Fourth, what do you think?" Emperor Changlong looked at the four sons who had not spoken.

The four princes stood up and saluted with a straight face: "Secretaries agree."

Seeing that the four sons had finished saying this, they didn't want to say one more word, and Emperor Changlong didn't want to ask more, turning his head and turning his eyes to the courtier.

At this time, even if there were court officials who disagreed with the prince, they would not dare to raise objections on this occasion.

The prince just said a word, but he didn't know clearly, whoever sent Ava back would be the sinner of the people in the world.Who would bear this notoriety, everyone here?

Some officials who took bribes from Jin Po did not even dare to raise their heads, and said nothing.

"Chen seconded." The first courtier who stood out was not the future father-in-law of the prince, but the son of Du Taishi.Master Du got up and arched his hands, "I thought he would not let go of Awa's captive."

The courtiers were secretly surprised. The Du family is not always very harsh on the prince, especially the Du prince. After three to five points, it is necessary to pick the prince's fault. Why is the Du family the first to stand up and support the prince today?

On this occasion, the Du family stood up and stated that the meaning was not so simple.The Du family is telling almost everyone that they support the prince.

Even the flower family is not so positive.

It seems that Du Du Shi is seriously ill and the Du family is difficult to support. He wants to rely on the big ship Prince.

With the Du family leading, many courtiers came forward one after another, expressing their agreement with the Prince's proposal.

Princess Hawksbill does not understand politics, but she vaguely feels that Jin Guo, in the presence of the Jinbo envoys, came to discuss the stay of the Jinbo prince, as if it had no intention.

"Brother San," she knew she shouldn't ask, but her experience at the Royal Academy these days gave her courage, "Why did Jin Guo deliberately discuss this matter before the emperor Jinpo?"

He Yuanting looked at Princess Hawksbill turtle in surprise, when his half-sister, such a courage and curiosity?

"Do you know that Awa led the soldiers to sneak into Huzhou and killed many civilians?"

"How many?"

"More than ten thousand."

"All ordinary unarmed people?" Princess Tortoiseshell surprised. "Don't they even let go of women and children?"

"If they let it go, the Emperor Jin's temperament would not embarrass Jinpo deliberately on this occasion." He Yuanting bowed his head and took a sip of the wine in the glass. "The land of Jin is fertile and the people are stubborn. . People living in this land are both forgiving and vengeful."

"Fifty years ago, there was a drought in Jin Dynasty, and Qingshi gave away Jin's food for free. Twenty years ago, Qingshi was in a state of chaos, and Jinguo helped Qingshi to make peace, giving them agricultural tools and craftsmen. Over the years, you can hear Is it difficult to pass through Jin and Qingshi?"

Princess Hawksbill turtle shook her head slightly.

"People in this land remember gratitude and hatred." He Yuanting gently rubbed his wine glass. "In the past 100 years, our tortoiseshell and Jin Guo have also had many small frictions. Even because of different concepts, there are often quarrels. Fight. Now that Jin Po is defeated, who knows that the next country that will cede the land will be us?"

Princess Hawksbill shakes her head: "But is it not under the Prince Jin's Hall that you can't bear to see the people displaced?"

"How can the words of the high-ranking people be credible?" He Yuanting looked at his sister who was timid but somewhat beautiful. "If you can marry Emperor Changlong or a prince, and give birth to a prince, you may be able to protect me from the tortoiseshell for the next 30 years. Years of peace."

"Brother Emperor?" Princess Hawksbill looked at this gentle gentleman in surprise, "I'm just a weak woman, how can I change the idea of ​​a nation's Lord?"

"Well, if you don't want to, I don't want to force you." He Yuanting lowered his eyelids. "You can rest assured that if those clerics have opinions on you, I will suppress it for you."

Princess Hawksbill listened to these words, and her chest was a little stuffy. She felt that there was something wrong in Brother Huang's words, but she did not know what was wrong.

"Hua Aiqing." Emperor Changlong looked at Hua Yingting. "What do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the general will be a rough man, and he can't tell any profound truth." Hua Yingting looked at the Jinbo envoys. "The latter will only feel that if Awa is released to Jinpo, the people who died in Huzhou will die You can't look away, nor can those children who sacrificed on the battlefield look."

The whole hall is quiet.

Even the clerk who was still whispering was quiet.

As we all know, the Hua family guarded the frontiers of the Jin Kingdom for generations. His family died on the battlefield, and both hands could not be counted.

After a lot of hard work, the Huajiajun captured Awa back to Beijing. If he was released, what would those children who fight desperately fight on the battlefield think?

"I think that both the crown prince and the courtiers made sense." Emperor Changlong said gently to the emperor Jinbo. "This matter does not need to be mentioned in your country in the future. As for the great prince in your country who yearns for the Jin culture, You have to deliver it earlier. In the summer, when the weather gets hot, the great prince will suffer on the road."

Envoys: "..."

This is the meaning of unwilling to release the second prince Jinbo, but also Jinbo to send the big prince.

Jin Guo's move was really cruel, and he didn't leave Jin Po a little face.

Without the first prince and the second prince, Jin Po's future sovereign is the stubborn and dull three princes.There is such an emperor in the future, what strength does Jinpo have to fight against Jin Guo?

But if Jin Po disagrees, Jin's army may attack aggressively, and the outcome may be even worse.

This is simply asking people, do you choose chronic suicide, or let me kill on the spot?

The emperor Jinbo was dumbfounded. They didn't expect it. The emperor Changlong, who looked warm and talkative, was so shameless in his actions.

"It's a serious matter, and ministers and dares don't dare to promise themselves." The Jinbo envoys shuddered and saluted. "Please ask your great emperor to tolerate us for some time. In the hands of His Majesty."

"In this case, I will wait for your country for another month. After one month, I hope your Congress will give me a satisfactory answer." Emperor Changlong smiled, "I think several of them are the first time I have come to Dajin. , Please invite you to live in our country for an extended period of time, and wait with me for your Majesty’s reply."

Kimber Envoy: "?"

Does this mean they are not allowed to go?

As an emperor in such a big country, can you make a face, can you?!

They roared angrily in their hearts, but they dared not show half of the face.Not only can't be angry, but also thank you with a smile: "Thank you His Excellency His Excellency Changlong, this is the honor of the courtiers."

"Well." Emperor Changlong nodded with satisfaction, waved them to sit back.

The envoys of other countries were afraid that Changlong Emperor would keep them in the capital and would not let them go. They quickly raised their glasses and smashed their farts. They were afraid that Changlong Emperor suddenly said, "I think it seems that you are also coming for the first time?"

He Yuanting had long noticed that Jin Dynasty's literary ministers and military generals had similar positions, and the relationship between literary ministers and military generals was not as contradictory as their tortoiseshell.

He put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly.

"Brother Huang, it would be nice if our tortoiseshell could be like Dajin..."

"Nonsense!" He Yuanting murmured in a low voice. "You have only been in Jin Kingdom for a few days and you said good things about Jin Guo?"

Princess Hawksbill shuddered with fear, and dared not speak again.

"Jin's national style is too bold, lacks cultivation and etiquette, even if such a country is strong for a while, it can't be called a land of civilization." He Yuanting said in a small voice, "If this is the case, you must not say it, if it is listened to by other cultural officials Go, your reputation will be ruined in tortoiseshell."

"Yes." Princess Tortoiseshell felt even more uncomfortable, and she couldn't even see the singing and dancing on stage.

"It's so boring inside." From time to time, some envoys gathered to toast Hualili, and some envoys brought the women's family. When they learned that Hualili was the future prince, they let the women's family come close.

"Sorry, I'm sorry, my county is weak and can't drink alcohol."

"Ma'am, I'm sorry, my county master doesn't understand the martial arts art and can't answer your questions. Why would you ask General Wei?"

Hua Liuli took advantage of the gap that Iris blocked, lifted the skirt and slipped out of the hall.

Compared with the noisy hall, the outside is quieter.She exhaled a long breath, walked down the steps, and turned into the small garden next to it.

"Who's there?" As soon as he walked into the small garden, Hua Liuli heard a faint sob, and took a step to look at the sound source.

"Girl Du?"

Du Xiuying wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, got up and smiled reluctantly: "Master Fushou County, how come you came out?"

"It's a little stuffy in the temple, I came out to breathe." Hua Liuli saw the tears on Du Xiuying's face, pretending not to know she had cried, and looked up at the sky. "The stars tonight are so beautiful."

"Really?" Du Xiuying raised his head in a muddled voice. The moon stars were sparse in the sky, and Haoyue covered the star's brilliance. There were few stars in the sky, which was really not beautiful.

"Girl Du can climb over the tree?" Hua Liuli asked.

Du Xiuying shook her head: "The gentleman respects his manners, like this..." Before she finished talking, Hualili lifted up her beautiful skirt and jumped to the branch in a few clicks.

She lay on the branch, coughed twice, and leaned over to give Du Xiuying her white and clean hand: "Sitting on the tree to see the scenery will make people feel better. Girl Du, come, try."

Du Xiuying stared blankly at the delicate palm and stuttered: "This, this is not, it's wrong..."

"It's okay, nobody saw it anyway." Hua Liuli stretched her hand in her direction. "Come, I'll hold you and give me your hand."

Probably, the girl in front of her looked so beautiful, or her eyes were too sincere, Du Xiuying put her hands on her palms.

From small to large, she has never done such a rude act.

But only this time, this time only.

Doesn't it matter?

The crown prince saw that Hua Liuli was out of the hall alone, worried about her boredom, and tried her best to slip out, and saw her fiancee lying on the tree trunk, smiling softly at the other woman.

What does that outstretched hand mean?!

The author has something to say: Liu Li: A beauty that deserves pity, regardless of gender.

Prince: Who is in your ear and says, love me forever?
