Little lucky girl from the peasant family: Queen Splendid

Chapter 259
Originally, envoy Tie Le was killed, and the rest were thrown into prison.Everyone put this matter to the back of their minds. How could they have imagined that the emperor suddenly issued an order this morning, not only agreeing to marry Tiele's princess, but also paying tribute to Tiele every year.

This was simply a bolt from the blue, which directly stunned everyone.

"Think twice, Your Majesty, Tie Le was originally a defeated country. We, Dong Hao, are magnanimous, and we have never asked for a grain of barley from Tie Le. How can we pay tribute every year just because we married a princess?"

Although Dong Ge is usually stubborn and not without winks, he is loyal to Dong Hao.At this moment, regardless of his old age, he knelt on the ground and refused to get up, so anxious that the veins on his forehead were jumping.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The other old Chen Ge also knelt aside and echoed loudly, "Tie Le's covenant only restrained us Donghao from raising troops, but he didn't say that they would not rob the border city again. Like this How can you not sign the covenant!"

Gong Zhiming sat on the dragon chair, and it was rare for him to pay more respect to these veterans.Even though there are constant internal strife on weekdays, and they often fight for the interests of their respective families, but when it comes to the Donghao Jiangshan community, they will abandon all selfishness and unanimously speak out.This is also one of the reasons why Donghao has never been bullied by neighboring countries.

However, this time, I am afraid that these old ministers will be disappointed.Even if they knelt through the golden bricks of Qiankun Temple, he would not change his mind.

A covenant is nothing but a dead letter.As long as he thinks, the iron hooves of Dong Hao's elite soldiers can break through every turf of Tie Le again.

Princess Tiele is nothing, it doesn't matter how many she marries.As long as he said a word, he would go to the cold palace to count the dead leaves as usual.

What is the annual tribute, it's just rice grain.If he sends it out, he can grab it back!
The only one, the only one who made him pray, and the only one who made him unable to let go was that woman.As long as she can return to him, even if the courtiers plead for orders, the people spurn her, and she will be infamous in history, so what's the matter?

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind and will not change it!"

Hearing the emperor throw out such a sentence coldly, everyone's hearts were instantly chilled.Even if you are an emperor, you will be the master of the country.But this country is not always the emperor's toy, just send it to Tie Le and let others trample on it!
"Prime Minister!"

"Master Fang, you have to say something!"

The civil and military officials were really helpless, so they could only look at the silent Prime Minister Fang, hoping that he would quickly persuade the emperor who was going crazy for some reason.

Prime Minister Fang's brows were almost wrinkled into an iron lump. It's not that he couldn't guess the reason why the emperor did this, but it was just that Tie Le took advantage of him.But for the sake of a woman, it is a bit absurd to actually ignore Donghao Jiangshan.But when he opened his mouth to persuade, he suddenly remembered that even if his family was weak, even if his old wife was not of high birth, she had been pampered by him for many years.So he sighed again.

There are love and infatuation in the world, not to mention Jiangshan, life can be given with both hands...

"Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers want to oppose the alliance between Donghao and Tie Le. The treasury is really empty. Let alone [-] dans of grain, even [-] tans are barely enough. Also, the marriage of Princess Tie Le must be announced to the world. A sum of money, Ministry of Finance..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gong Zhiming interrupted with a wave of his hand, "The national treasury only provides [-] dans of grain, and I have sources for the rest. As for marrying the princess, keep everything simple, don't need to say anything more about it, leave the court!"

After finishing speaking, he got up and left, seeing the bright yellow robe corner disappearing behind the screen, the courtiers still did not react.They stared at each other in a daze, they really didn't understand what kind of medicine the emperor had taken wrongly.Such a major event is actually left behind like this, is it decided?
"Dong Hao is unfortunate!" Elder Dong Ge was the first to fall to the ground, crying so much that the rest of the courtiers also beat their chests and stamped their feet.

Even though Tie Le's cavalry almost hit the capital that day, Dong Hao never gave in.Now Tie Le was almost trampled down by Dong Hao, but Dong Hao wanted to marry the princess and send food and tribute.How could the people of Donghao, who are full of civil and military affairs and proud, swallow this breath?
What happened to the emperor? Where did the invincible general go?Could it be that Tie Le's envoy failed to assassinate that day, but in fact he still put a gu on the emperor?

The omnipotent people in Kyoto can always easily detect the troubles in the court.Donghao is about to form an alliance with Tie Le, marry the princess, and pay tribute and food!

As soon as the news came out, it was almost a blockbuster, causing the sound of teacups smashing everywhere in the teahouse.

"Why exactly?"

"Has the emperor lost his mind?"

"Or is there something strange about Princess Tiele? Otherwise, why did the emperor insist on marrying her, even signing a covenant and paying tribute and food?"

"That's right, is it more beautiful than Princess Qingcheng back then?"

It is impossible for ordinary people to be as smart as the courtiers, focusing on the entire Donghao River.They were more used to seeing the rosy part in this matter, so, in just two days, Gong Zhiming changed from an invincible general to a coward, from a good boy he fell in love with to a pervert.When everyone looked at the palace, they couldn't help shaking their heads.

Of course, there are also people who believe in gods, claiming that the emperor was strangled by witchcraft and lowered his head, went from village to household to give alms, and then opened altars, trying to recall the emperor's soul that was deceived and suppressed.

Needless to say, no one knows whether the emperor's soul has returned.Instead, these witches and gods were thrown into prisons to fill the vacancies left by the Tiele envoys.

Envoy Tie Le, who had suffered for several days, originally heard that Dong Hao agreed to form an alliance, but wanted to play awe-inspiring and vent his anger.But seeing all the people of Donghao, even the hawkers selling snacks on the street dare to spit at their feet, so they behaved honestly with their tails tucked between them.

After all, this is not their own territory, so don't flaunt it casually, otherwise they will die silently like Sha Muduo, and their King of Han will definitely not stand up for them.After all, Tie Le too needs the large amount of food that is about to be obtained, as well as the covenant that will allow Tie Le to rest assured for a few years...

No matter how the courtiers tried to persuade them, even begging to die, Sui Gong was still busy preparing.The Changping warehouse in Kyoto was moved to a clean place, so all the food was bagged and transported to the border towns in the north.

Secretly, the Shangzi Department of Gongzhi's family mobilized all the gold and silver, searched for grain with all their strength, and shipped it to the border towns in batches.For a lifetime, the price of rice in the entire Donghao skyrocketed, and everyone panicked.

After all the people know the reason, they will not be able to scold the soon-to-be-married Princess Tie Le.Girls usually bring a large amount of dowry when they get married. This princess is lucky. I don’t know if she has a dowry. Instead, she stole a large amount of food from her "in-law's family"...

In the border city, gradually all the old tributes have been gathered.On the opposite side of the Tiele camp, the princess's Firefox flag was also hung high.The mysterious third princess Azeri of Tie Le, who caused the whole Donghao people to resent her without getting married, has already rushed over from Wangcheng.As long as Gong Tie Le's annual tribute is delivered, the princess will bring her "handmaid" to marry Dong Hao.

A servant from the Ministry of Rites also just arrived at the Border Guard City, and was drinking tea and gossiping with Feng Yong's eldest son, Feng Zhi, who is now the garrison general of the Border Guard City.

Perhaps it was because of this that he was destined to be famous in history, and the job that was destined to be reviled by future generations fell on him, and the Minister of Rites was very frustrated.Before he could say a few words, he excused himself from being tired and pushed the entire handover matter to Feng Zhi.

Feng Zhi didn't refuse to be angry, he sent the servant to the back office, cleared the staff in the room, and then greeted Feng Yi and Yun Ying who were dressed as attendants and maids by the door.

Feng Yi didn't say much, and directly took out the secret letter to Feng Zhi.Feng Zhi quickly knelt down and took it, but after reading it at the end, he was confused.He didn't understand why the emperor didn't mention the princess at all, and even deployed troops to deploy defenses, as long as he fully cooperated with the hidden guards to protect the safety of the two Han women beside Princess Tiele.

But he also knew what should be said and what should not be said, and he only kowtowed to receive the secret decree.

On the day of the alliance, only a few tables and chairs were placed outside the border guard city.There was only one servant of the Ministry of Rites on Donghao's side, and the strange thing was that there was only one prince on Tie Le's side. The two exchanged the credentials stamped with the jade seal and King Khan's seal, and they didn't want to talk much, so the alliance meeting ended. It's so scribbled that it's not as good as those women's poetry clubs in Kyoto.

The servant really couldn't understand why the Tie Le people proposed to form an alliance, and the wise and mighty emperor also went crazy, only he was the most pitiful, and became an innocent sinner of Dong Hao.

Depressed, he drank himself very drunk. Needless to say, when he paid the annual tribute in the afternoon and married Princess Tie Le and drove into the border town, he was still drunk and passed out.Naturally, they didn't know that the princess' "two maids" were taken to the cleanest and most exquisite courtyard next to the Yamen as soon as they entered the city gate.

Yunying knelt in front of the dull-looking master, weeping uncontrollably, "Girl, I finally found you. Slave, I thought you... Woohoo, girl, don't dive again. You have to take your slave with you wherever you go! "

Feng Yi and the big men glanced at the master's right hand suspended by a cloth strip, and the obviously thin Xu Du's figure, and they all lowered their heads deeply.If they were really omnipotent and found their master earlier, wouldn't they have to be caught by the Tiele people and suffer so much.

Seeing that the master didn't raise her head and didn't answer, Yun Ying excitedly stepped forward and hugged her leg, "Master, if you are angry, you can just take it out on your servant. It's because the slave is bad, and it's because the slave didn't protect you well!"

No way, "Ding Wei" was frightened and kicked her legs desperately, "Who are you? Go away, I don't know you!"

The hoarse and rough screams were heard in everyone's ears, adding to the sadness.

Yunya quickly wiped away her tears, and stepped forward to persuade, "Girl, don't be afraid, this is Sister Yunying who has been serving you before. When we return to Kyoto, there are still many people at home, and you will gradually get to know them all." .”

Perhaps Yunya was more familiar with her, or she was a little tired after tossing all morning, "Ding Wei" no longer struggled, but hugged her shoulders and curled up into a ball in fear.

Seeing this, Yunya quickly signaled Yunying and the others to follow her out, and then whispered, "Master, I can't remember many things, let's coax them first."

Yunying and the others also noticed something strange just now, and now they looked carefully along the half-open door, and felt very sore in their hearts.
