Picked up a copy of Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 339
The emperor didn't say a word, his face was frosty, and several guards had already come behind these Guishuang people.

The translator translated the prince's answer, with trills in his voice. Seeing the silence around him, and seeing the soldiers slowly approaching, the prince was a little panicked, his eyes widened, he looked around, and asked: "Did I say something wrong?"

"Prince, you just insulted the emperor of the Han Dynasty." The translator brought by Guishuang was afraid that the prince would say more, so he hurriedly said in a low voice, how can the prince be like this, looking at the emperor nervously, constantly apologizing, and asking The translator helped, and the emperor suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said, "I never thought that I would be insulted by the people, what can I do, what can I do?"

Seeing the smile on the emperor's face, the guards stopped and took a few steps back, their eyes still fixed on those Guishuang people. As long as the emperor gives an order, the guards can immediately Subduing these people, all the officials also catered to the emperor, and all laughed, but the prince was still a little nervous, and the idea of ​​wanting to learn the language of the big man deepened in his heart.

"Where did the merchant teach you this?"

"Sili, it's just outside Luoyang." The prince said in a daze.

"Then what did you do to let him teach you like this?"

"I just bought something from him."

The translator kept on translating, and once the embarrassment of the two people got rid of just now, they warmed up again. Ni Sejia was relieved to see that the emperor didn't take this matter to heart. The emperor of the Han Dynasty really It is a tolerant and wise king, no wonder the big man is so strong and prosperous, Ni Sejia thought to himself, with a smile on his face again.

The subsequent banquet was held very smoothly. The banquet was filled with all kinds of delicacies, and the prince's eyes were about to go out. However, fortunately, he did not forget that he represented the Guishuang Empire, and he was still learning the etiquette of the surrounding Hanchens. Eating slowly, the rest of the people, who are not qualified to eat with the officials, all lowered their heads and put their hands behind their backs to show respect.

Although the Son of Heaven did not understand their strange thinking, he did not ask or order. The Han Dynasty has a vast territory, and the customs of different places are completely different. The Son of Heaven has long been used to such differences. It is to be able to maintain a heart of understanding and not forcefully interfere. For example, when he rushed to Hezhou earlier, the people there used the etiquette of Xianbei and even the Huns to meet him.

The emperor still responded to their visit with a smile.

After eating, the prince started singing and dancing before he had time to savor the delicacy. The Han people are good at dancing, and the Guishuang people are even more so. Seeing many ministers get up, they twirled their bodies and danced wantonly. The prince and the others couldn't sit still. , Smiled to the emperor, got up and participated in the arena, the scene was extremely cheerful and lively, the emperor wanted to maintain the majesty of the king, he could only sit on the top seat and watch them dance.

After the banquet was over, the prince and the others were sent back to the post station. The banquet reception was only preliminary, and it was also part of the reception etiquette. The formal conversation would have to wait until tomorrow. Prince Nishika returned to the post station and was still talking about the emperor. He simply loved this gentle and kind emperor very much.

But at this moment, in the palace, Zhang Yun was sitting in front of the emperor with his head bowed.

"Have you checked everything out?"

"Your Majesty, I personally asked many merchants in Guishuang. This prince is indeed like this. Everyone in Guishuang knows this, but, for some reason, he will be the chief envoy."

"Hehe, if I have such a pure and kind brother, I will naturally send him there. Only such a person will make people relax."

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with this son?"

"That's not the case. Seeing him like that, it doesn't seem like he's pretending. King Guishuang sent this person here, it seems that he sincerely wants to make peace with the big man. However, the monitoring of this person must not be relaxed. Find some soldiers who are proficient in Guishuang's language. You know what he did, what he said, and even what he wanted to do."

"As ordered!"

"In addition, tell Yuan Feng that the merchants around Luoyang seem to have too much money, and some of them have forgotten their duties, so he asked him to increase the merchant tax in the Sili area." The emperor squinted his eyes and said coldly.

"As ordered!"

The next day, Dahan officially met with the Guishuang envoy.

The Son of Heaven didn't talk too much. Most of the things were discussed with them by Wang Fu, or in other words, it was the deputy envoy who was discussing with Wang Fu. Listening to the two of them negotiating, the purpose of Guishuang's coming is very simple, that is, to strengthen ties with the big man and become a country of brothers.

Naturally, there is no problem in the state of brothers, but it is up to them to argue who is the elder brother and who is the younger brother. Wang Fu is quite good at arguing about this, adding a sentence of Guishuang from time to time to let the other party None of the deputy envoys dared to use Guishuang language for some private communications. Except for friendship issues, the rest involved business, military, and various technologies.

Guishuang is willing to provide Dahan with the highest quality cotton, and Guishuang has a rich output. If Dahan is interested, he can also trade grain. In addition, Guishuang's most famous jewelry, their jewelry polishing and other technologies, although Wang Fu does not admit it , but still slightly more than the big man, the two sides can conduct in-depth exchanges in these aspects.

As for the military, Guishuang is more dependent on the big man. There are no big enemies around the big man, but Guishuang's life is a bit difficult. It is nothing more than that when Guishuang is invaded by foreigners, he hopes that the big man's garrison in the Western Regions can provide a helping hand , In addition, Guishuang hopes to buy the armaments of the big man. The emperor is not good at this kind of diplomacy. After handing over the full power to Wang Fu and other ministers, he returned to the palace to rest.

The prince is also like this, taking the opportunity to sneak out, wandering around Luoyang, playing.

Faced with many problems, Wang Fu and the deputy envoy talked for more than ten days before completing the meeting. Like the envoy of the Han Dynasty, the prince proposed to stay in the territory of the Han Dynasty for a few more days. As for the country, it is enough to send a letter , the emperor also graciously agreed to his request.

Jianning 16 years, September
Xing Ziang officially handed over all the subordinate officials from Yuan Feng, and started his first step as Shang Shu Ling. With the rise of Shang Shu Tai's status, the status of Shang Shu Ling has also been rising in recent years. At first glance, it has become the core of the temple, and Xing Ziang rejected Wang Fu's request in terms of the arrangements of officials from all over the place.

Wang Fu wanted to promote officials from Menzixue to replace the positions that were vacant due to the new law, but Xing Ziang disagreed. He wanted to promote the original local officials to take over these vacancies, and then use assessment to fill these officials The seat left after moving up.

Wang Fu thought that he was doing too much and wasting money, while Xing Ziang believed that Wang Fu's behavior was only concerned with political achievements and did not cultivate useful talents for the court.

The two quarreled endlessly, and their relationship deteriorated instantly. All the officials supported Xing Ziang, and the emperor also deliberately favored Xing Ziang, which made Wang Fu even more furious.
