The most poisonous princess

Chapter 265
As soon as Zhao Xun's words fell, Prime Minister Xie of the Northern Jin Dynasty smiled and said, "This is natural. Since we are here to seek peace, we will naturally show great sincerity."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand behind him. An official behind him stood up and presented a gift list and said: "This is our gift list from the Northern Jin Dynasty. We are willing to present the gift list to the West Chu Kingdom every year." on things."

Emperor Chengqian waved his hand, and Su Peng, the Marquis of Anguo who was in charge of the household department, immediately got up and came out, took the gift list, and read it on the spot.

"Northern Jin is willing to offer 50 taels of silver, ten dans of pearls, ten dans of ginseng, osmanthus, ganoderma lucidum and musk, ten boxes of antique jades, and [-] bolts of palace satin to the West Chu every year."

At the banquet, all the ministers were in an uproar. Although the handwriting was not particularly large, it was quite a lot.

However, the other party came to talk about peace in a low-profile manner, and the Western Chu Kingdom naturally wanted to put the posture high. Prime Minister Zhao Xun did not let go because of the gifts presented by the Northern Jin Kingdom every year. Is Jin’s sincerity? This Prime Minister believes that this sincerity is not enough.”

As soon as Zhao Xun's words fell, the prime minister of the Northern Jin Kingdom did not speak, but Jun Li, who was sitting at the front, smiled and slowly got up: "This is the sincerity of my Northern Jin Kingdom, and this king voluntarily stays in the territory of the Western Chu Kingdom After three years of prostitution, the princess voluntarily married into Western Chu to get married, I wonder if the prime minister thinks that our sincerity in the Northern Jin Dynasty is not enough?"

As soon as Jun Li's words fell, all the courtiers at the banquet were in an uproar.

The courtiers of the entire Western Chu Kingdom were stunned. Originally, these people thought that His Royal Highness Duan Wang from the Northern Jin Kingdom came to marry a woman so that the two countries could marry each other, but who would have thought that this His Royal Highness Duan Wang came to Western Chu The country is the proton, and the princess is married to Western Chu.

This, isn't this sincerity too great?Everyone looked up at the emperor, and the emperor was also a little surprised.

Prime Minister Xie of the Northern Jin Kingdom quickly said, "Your Majesty, in order to show my sincerity to the Northern Jin Kingdom, my emperor specially let the fourth prince, His Royal Highness Duan Wang, stay in Western Chu as a hostage for a period of three years. The princess married to Western Chu. Marriage, I don't know if our Northern Jin Kingdom is sincere enough?"

The people present did not speak for a moment, after all, this matter was a bit big.

The voice of Xiao Huang, the eldest son of Prince Jing's mansion, who was at the head of the courtiers, sounded cold and cold: "Are you sure it's sincerity, not ulterior motives?"

With a sharp cold finger, the envoys of the Northern Jin Kingdom had ulterior motives, and the envoys of the Northern Jin Kingdom all looked at Xiao Huang.

These people looked like they wanted to see the enemy when they saw Xiao Huang. Their eyes were dark and their hearts were full of hatred. It was this person who led troops to attack them and won three battles. If the report comes back, even if the two countries are at peace, they will kill this guy to avenge the dead soldiers.

The leader of the Northern Jin envoys, Duan Wang Junli, was not as angry as the envoys behind him. His handsome face was full of smiles, and his words were as clean and clear as a clear stream.

"Prince Jing's words are serious. Although he and we were enemies in the past, we have come to seek peace now. Since we have come to seek peace, we are friends. I hope that Mr. Xiao will not be arrogant. After all, this matter is related to the peace and friendship between the two countries. , I believe that His Majesty the Emperor of your country must also hope that the two countries will be peaceful and there will be no war."

As soon as Jun Li opened his mouth, Xiao Huang was at a disadvantage, and he interpreted the sharp question pointed out by Xiao Huang as a personal whim.

However, his voice is as pleasant as Qingxi, and his words are easy to accept, so many courtiers in Western Chu also agreed with his reasoning, thinking that the reason why Xiao Huang questioned was because of himself and the Northern Jin Dynasty. The country's envoys have hatred, so they will confront each other.

Xiao Huang smiled coldly: "I don't know that there is such a powerful figure as King Duan in the Northern Jin Kingdom, but when the Northern Jin Dynasty was defeated, why didn't His Highness King Duan come out to turn the tide?"

Xiao Huang doesn't like Jun Li very much, not only because Jun Li is the prince of the Northern Jin Kingdom, but also because he feels angry when he sees it, and he is not mistaken, it was His Highness Duan Wang who showed In addition to having a good impression of Cancan, that is the woman he slept with, why should he have a good impression of her.

Xiao Huang was surrounded by an icy aura, looking at Jun Li with cold eyes.

Under Xiao Huang's attack, Duan Wang Junli didn't say much, and still had a gentle smile on his face, but the faces of the envoys of the Northern Jin Kingdom behind him were not good-looking. He stared at Xiao Huang, then turned his head to look at the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the Northern Jin Kingdom is here to seek peace, not to be humiliated by others. Although we are defeated generals, it does not mean that we can be humiliated by others. Come out, there is no need for people to humiliate our Northern Jin Kingdom like this, our fourth prince has always been weak and sick, and Xiao Shizi attacked our Highness like this, doesn't it seem that he is too weak."

Emperor Chengqian glanced at Xiao Huang, and then waved his hands with a smile on his face: "Okay, since the two countries are negotiating peace, everyone should not be angry. Although we were enemies in the past, we will be friends from now on."

Xiao Huang didn't speak any more, his whole body was filled with ruthless air-conditioning, his pupils were full of undercurrents, and the corners of his lips showed a mocking smile, didn't he know the emperor's wishful thinking?But let's hope he doesn't ask for it.

Seeing that Xiao Huang was silent, Emperor Chengqian looked down at the Prime Minister of the Northern Jin Dynasty, Xie Li: "Prime Minister Xie, don't be angry, the visitor is a guest, I respect you for a glass of wine, and we will discuss peace matters later. .”

The emperor personally toasted, and Prime Minister Xie of the Northern Jin Kingdom didn't want to be too domineering, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, took a wine glass and drank another glass of wine with His Majesty the Emperor.

Then the atmosphere eased again, Junli, Prince Duan of the Northern Jin Kingdom, said with a smile: "If His Majesty suspects that we have ulterior motives, I don't have to stay in the Western Chu Kingdom. This is because since the Northern Jin Dynasty came to seek peace, we naturally had to show great sincerity. What could be more sincere in seeking peace than the prince staying as a proton? Another reason is that the king has been ill for many years. But the climate in the Northern Jin Kingdom is relatively cold, which is not suitable for my king to recuperate, so I originally planned to stay in the Western Chu Kingdom to recuperate."

After Jun Li finished speaking, he began to cough, coughing very hard, everyone saw that his health was really not good.

Emperor Chengqian stared at His Royal Highness Prince Duan of the Northern Jin Kingdom. Although he had an excellent life, he was a sick and weak person. Even if such a person stayed in Western Chu, how much trouble could he cause? On the contrary, if they dare not even keep such a hostage, and make other countries laugh at it, then their Xichu will be left behind.

His Majesty the Emperor thought about it, and looked down at King Duan of the Northern Jin Kingdom with a smile: "Originally, I didn't intend to force His Royal Highness to stay, but seeing that His Highness is in such a bad health, why don't you stay in my West Chu capital to recuperate. I believe His Royal Highness Duanwang's health will recover soon."
