My throne is not stable

Chapter 55
The next day, Zhu Yu received Princess Taka and her son-in-law when he was in court.

Zhu Yu was sitting on the dragon chair, and all the officials stood on the left and right below. Eunuch Wu and Cao Zhengchun were the only ones beside him. Liu Xi and Yu Huatian were standing on the side steps leading to the dragon chair. Princess Taka and her son-in-law stand out in the middle of the hall below.

After seeing the two people below standing still, Zhu Yu said indifferently: "The Kunlun tribe and I have always been friends. I don't know that the princess has traveled thousands of miles to come here and ask to see me. What's your business?"

Princess Taka below heard the question, and said bluntly: "Taka came here this time because of unavoidable difficulties.

My tribe has been suffering from drought since the fall of last year, and there has not been any rain so far. We don’t have much farmland to cultivate, and now the good fields are desolate, even grass can’t grow, and most of the livestock and horses are dead. .

If it is based on the amount signed in the original agreement, we really cannot afford it, so I implore the emperor to be sympathetic to the people and exempt the payment for one year. I believe the emperor will certainly understand. "

After listening to Princess Taka's words, Zhu Yu was stunned for a moment, thinking, isn't it reduced, why is it exempt now?
There was a sneer on the corner of Zhu Yu's mouth, and he said: "It is true that natural and man-made disasters cannot be resisted by manpower, but I would like to ask, where do I use the rewards I give to your tribe every year?

From your first tribute to the present, the sum of gifts from Jingguo is enough for your entire tribe to spend five years eating and drinking every day without production. Now you come to tell me that this year is drought and you want to stop paying tribute?

Has the princess ever thought about it, if there is a drought in my court this year? "

Princess Taka was speechless, but she still bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty, as the kingdom of heaven, does Yasukuni have the heart to watch the people of his subordinate tribes die of thirst and starvation?

And we don't want to stop paying tribute, but we want to ask for a one-year exemption. "

"What if the drought continues next year?" Zhu Yu asked a new question.

Upon hearing the question, Princess Taka said with difficulty: "If the sky does not show mercy, then our people will have to sit and wait for death."

"Oh~" Zhu Yu deliberately elongated his voice, and then asked suddenly: "I remember that your tribe didn't farm the land before, what did you live on before?"

Everyone in the Golden Luan Hall knew this question, and all the officials looked at the foreign princess and consort standing in the middle with half-smiles.

Princess Taka faced countless gazes, blushing slightly, and said: "In the past, the tribe used to make a living by plundering, but thanks to the blessing of the heavens, our tribe has abandoned the bad habits and started to be self-sufficient."

Hearing Princess Taka gave the answer he wanted, Zhu Yu nodded sharply and said, "I have a way to save the people of your tribe.

If things are done, not only will your tribe not have to pay the annual tribute this year, nor will it be necessary in the future, but as long as you promise, I can now provide food, horses, money, and all the supplies you need to help you tide over the difficulties. Or the one that doesn't have to be paid back. "

As soon as Zhu Yu finished speaking, all the officials, including Cao Zhengchun, Yu Huatian and other eunuchs, were all taken aback, not knowing what kind of medicine Zhu Yu's gourd was selling.

And Zhu Yu's gesture just now is still vivid in his memory, how could Princess Taka believe that Zhu Yu has good intentions?But he couldn't help himself in a foreign country. The Emperor Yasukuni had spoken, and he had to follow it no matter what.

"I don't know what method the emperor said?"

"Look, although your Western Region has a vast territory, there are hundreds or thousands of tribes in such a large area of ​​land, which is a bit too much. Why don't your tribes unify the Western Region?
If the entire Western Regions were to suffer from drought, I also have a solution. You see, the Khitan is on the left of your Western Regions, and Mongolia is on the right. Why don't you go back to your old business and grab it?
If it still doesn't work, Yasukuni can make way for you, and you can go to fight Xixia, they have few people. "

As soon as Zhu Yu's words fell, the court hall, which was still somewhat dignified just now, burst into laughter in an instant.

But Princess Taka blushed and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, as the lord of Yasukuni, why can you say such absurd things? All tribes in the Western Regions are dependent, how can they be unified? As for fighting Khitan and Mongolia ? Do you want the people of the tribe to die?"

"Affiliation? Yes, hundreds of thousands of tribes in the Western Regions are affiliated to various major countries, but are you actively attached to them?
No!You also said just now that you were looters before, why did you attach yourself to a big country?It is because you are hurt and afraid of being beaten, and because you are afraid of being killed, and only the old, weak, women and children are left of you, so you have to cling to them!
And your Kunlun tribe, it was our Yasukuni who committed a hundred years ago, paying tribute?To put it bluntly, it is a year-old tribute, but to put it bluntly, this is my Yasukuni’s spoils of war!It is what I, Yasukuni, deserve, not what you voluntarily gave!

Now you come here and tell me that you don't want to pay the spoils that belong to Yasukuni, because you think your tribe is powerful?Or do you feel that I, Yasukuni, have been too benevolent in recent decades?
Regarding Sui Gong, you shouldn't ask me, you should go to the barracks, ask my Yasukuni soldiers, and ask them if they don't want the spoils they fought for with blood and tears!
Do you really think I can be bullied by Yasukuni?Do you really think that my Yasukuni soldiers are old?Do you really think that the Bingfeng of Yasukuni dare not step on your land again? "

Zhu Yu shouted one after another, unconsciously began to shout, the voice had fallen, but Zhu Yu's words seemed to be still floating in the sky above the Golden Temple, and could not dissipate for a long time.

The military general standing below blushed even more excitedly, wishing to call for battle immediately.

And Princess Taka was also defeated by Zhu Yu's words one after another, her face turned pale, and her body began to shake, as if she could faint at any time.

The son-in-law who has always been regarded as a transparent person in the palace, that is, Hua Wuque, is no longer transparent at this moment. She stepped forward to support Princess Taka, and was about to speak when she raised her head but was snatched away first.

"Your Majesty, I see that Princess Taka's condition is not very good. Otherwise, we can discuss this matter tomorrow and send the princess to the Imperial Hospital for treatment. If something happens to the princess of the Kunlun Tribe in the Jinluan Palace, spread the word to the people in Jingguo. The image is not good."

The person who spoke was none other than Tie Dan God Hou Zhu ignored.

"Yes, yes, Shenhou is right."

"God is right."

"Hope.
As soon as Zhu ignored his words, the civil servants started whispering.

Zhu Yu laid the groundwork for a long time, and was about to hear whether Hua Wuque wanted to intercede, but was interrupted by Zhu Wushi, and seeing the civil servant's as if no one else echoed, Zhu Yu didn't have the mind to play tricks.

He got up and said in a low voice, 'Back to court', and left with a dark face.
