Chapter 239 Collusion (1)
"Your Majesty, there is an urgent report from the frontier. Yelu, an envoy sent by the wolf lord of Xirong Kingdom, has brought a large amount of tribute horses, cattle and sheep, and is now rushing to the capital. Please make a decision." In the main hall of Chaoyang Palace, Prime Minister Lu Kai suddenly He ran into the hall overjoyed, and happily handed over the border emergency report to Ming Gong.

"What kind of idea is Xirong doing? They have been against our Celestial Dynasty for more than 200 years since King Wu defeated Zhou. Suddenly thinking of paying tribute, I really can't accept it." Ming Gong opened the emergency report coldly, After browsing through it carefully, an impatient smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"My lord, it has been a long time since the son of Dututu defeated Marshal Boding of Xirong in Qishan last time. It has been a long time since Xirong had no Chen Bingguan. I think that the envoys of Xirong should be properly received and treated with courtesy." The senior doctor Cheng Rong stepped forward and suggested with a smile.

"My lord, there are more than a hundred people from Xirong who came to pay tribute. If the ministers receive them, will they spend a lot of money from the Ministry of Users?" At this time, Zhu Ping, Minister of the Ministry of Households, reported.

"Of course, if it is not grand, how to reflect the national prestige of our celestial dynasty, not only must it be done, but it must also be done in a magnificent manner. Let those beards see that it is like a mantis' arms to fight against my celestial dynasty." Ming Gong stroked his beard and laughed loudly. .

Seeing that the capital is approaching September, the reception of the Xirong envoys is in full swing. The Lifan Academy sent craftsmen to catch up with the work day and night, and hurriedly built a large inn for the Xirong envoys to live in.

"Oh, your majesty is too aggressive, isn't it just a few little barbarians from Xirong? Why bother to build such an inn, so that this palace has to bite the bullet and agree with Baosi, and take the lead in suggesting that the harem reduce expenses. Yue, the harem’s cosmetics and money are not enough!” In the Chonghua Palace with a deep courtyard, Concubine Jin, supported by Lianxiang, strolled on the veranda, frowning, and couldn’t stop talking to Concubine Ge who was following her. complaints.

"Your Majesty, your family has a great career, why are you struggling in the harem? My sister is really at a loss." Concubine Ge questioned.

"Ai!" Imperial Concubine Jin couldn't help but sighed: "There are also big difficulties. Although the Chonghua Palace in this palace is full of gold, silver and treasures, who dares to blatantly compare favors with the king? Besides, the palace's The fame and position are here, just to reward all kinds of people and servants, you are the big boss, one month's routine money, which one is enough?"

"However, sister, since Baosi has come forward to propose to the king, and she has become a good queen and concubine, we must not fall behind. We must compare with Baosi to please the king, so no matter what, we still You have to hold on." Ge Fei suggested.

"My sister is right. I am not afraid of Baosi. Although the king is deeply in love with her beauty, there is always a knot in the two of them that has not been unraveled. That knot is digging. In addition, Baosi has not been in love these years. I have given birth to a son and a daughter for the king. As long as I don’t die, the king will never feel at ease. Don’t worry, wait a few more years. To ascend to the throne, all we need is time." Imperial Concubine Jin said sharply while holding onto the railing of the corridor.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." At this moment, a man's sneer sounded suddenly from inside the palace wall of Chonghua Palace, and Concubine Jin and Concubine Ge were shocked, and asked the wall: "Who is it? You are so brave, dare to break into the harem, do you want to kill yourself?"

In an instant, the sneering man had already knelt at the feet of Concubine Jin and Concubine Ge. Concubine Jin dared to take a closer look, and found that the man was masked and dressed in black, and his appearance was very suspicious. She couldn't help asking sharply: "Say, who sent you here? What do you mean by what you just said?"
