Empress please be more ruthless

Chapter 102
Ruan Xun laughed: "So I finally have the honor to see the Queen! What does Your Majesty want to perform?"

Song Qingtong was asked by Ruan Xun, her smile froze on her face, what was she performing?She can program, she can drive, she speaks foreign languages ​​eloquently, but here there are no computers, no cars, and no one understands foreign languages. These are survival skills in the 21st century, which are useless here. The corners of Chu Tianmo's lips curled up, and a smile seemed to flash across his eyes, he was laughing at her!Song Qingtong's eyes widened, his face became serious, and he said in a clear voice: "My clothes are not suitable for performances, and it is the time of the court meeting, so it is not suitable for performances. When the palace banquet is held in the evening, I will naturally let Prime Minister Ruan and Princess Xiangyun Take a peek."

Not only Ruan Xun, the faces of the ministers showed disappointment. They naturally wanted to see what their emperor could do besides approving memorials. Yuan Yong's forehead was covered with black lines. She wouldn't know anything, right? ?Seeing her sitting there solemnly all day, she is only a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, but she looks depressed. She originally wanted to show her face, but it seems that this time she flattered her on the horse's leg. Next, How would she deal with him?
Song Qingtong ignored everyone's reactions, sat back on the throne, and looked at Ruan Xun: "Prime Minister Ruan, let's discuss the detailed rules of trade now."

As soon as this remark came out, the tense and solemn atmosphere in the courtroom immediately resumed. Ruan Xun shook his head and said, "Okay, what the king of our country means is that our country can moderately reduce or exempt the tariffs on the porcelain, silk, jade and other commodities sold by the Northern Qin Dynasty to Goryeo. The poultry meat and vegetable oil sold to your country also hope that your country will give you certain tax incentives."

Song Qingtong nodded, "Mutual benefit is natural."

Looking at Lin Kuang, Lin Kuang stood respectfully at the foot of the jade steps, with a calm and dignified face, Ji Xiangru was rescued, why didn't you see a trace of panic in him?Could it be that Ji Xiangru was not imprisoned in his house?Shangguan Lianyue guessed wrong?

"Lin Aiqing, you are in charge of the specific trade matters."

Lin Kuang took the lead.

Song Qingtong said again: "Prime Minister Ruan and Princess Xiangyun have had a tiring journey, go back to the embassy to rest first, and hold a dinner in the palace tonight, when the time comes, I will send someone to pick up the two distinguished guests."

Ruan Xun said with a smile: "Okay, then I can still see Her Majesty's demeanor! Oh, yes, I have a heartfelt request, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it."

Song Qingtong said: "Prime Minister Ruan, please speak."

Ruan Xun said: "On the way to the capital with the princess, the officials and the accompanying guards all vomited and had fever due to the unacceptable water and soil. Fortunately, they were rescued by a miraculous doctor who traveled far away. The medicine cured the disease. The ministers are grateful, so I implore your majesty for your kindness." He may also come to the banquet."

Song Qingtong was startled slightly, You Fang's miracle doctor?
Dongfang Liang walked out of the imperial court and reported: "What Prime Minister Ruan said is true, the medical clinics along the way were helpless, just happened to be passing by a wandering doctor, Prime Minister Ruan and the princess were diagnosed and treated by the doctor, and the medicine cured them!"

Song Qingtong nodded: "Prime Minister Ruan and Princess Xiangyun are honored guests of our country. I will never treat you badly for those who saved you. Please play."

Near noon, the morning court finally came to an end, and all the officials left the Golden Palace one after another. Princess Xiangyun looked at Chu Tianmo and smiled slightly, "President Chu, don't you blame Xiangyun for concealing his real identity? Can Xiangyun still call you Big Brother Chu?"

Chu Tianmo shook his head and said with a smile, "Princess, whatever you want."

Princess Xiangyun smiled shyly when she heard the words, and said with a blushing face: "Brother Chu, Xiangyun saw the bustling capital city when he was riding in a carriage, and wanted to take a stroll, but Xiangyun is not familiar with the capital city, and there is no guide around him."

Princess Xiangyun and Chu Tianmo were talking as they walked outside the hall. Although their voices were not loud, they could still hear clearly with Song Qingtong's hearing. Yong, Yuan Yong felt a cold wind blowing from his back and couldn't help shivering, and then he heard Song Qingtong's cold voice: "Father Xiang, please stay!"

Chu Tianmo's body shook slightly, he turned around suddenly, and looked at Song Qingtong with deep eyes, Song Qingtong's heart began to beat wildly again, Princess Xiangyun also turned around, Yuan Yong didn't turn around, his intuition was not good , Keeping the pace and walking outside the hall.

Song Qingtong calmed down and looked at Chu Tianmo with a kind smile, "I suddenly remembered that there is an important military matter that I need to discuss with my prime minister, Yuan Aiqing."

Yuan Yong's legs trembled, he almost sat on the ground, and hurriedly stopped and turned around.

Song Qingtong's smile was even more kind: "Princess Xiangyun came to our country for the first time, and she is not familiar with the capital city. Yuan Aiqing, I order you to be Princess Xiangyun's guide and accompany her to visit the capital. Remember, be sure to let Her Royal Highness play Have fun."

Yuan Yong's face darkened as he heard this, he only rushed back to the capital in the middle of the night last night, and he wanted to go back to the house to catch up on sleep after the next court!
Song Qingtong looked at Princess Xiangyun again, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, Yuan Yong grew up in the capital and is very familiar with the capital. It is very suitable for him to be the guide of the princess. I wonder what the princess wants?"

Princess Xiangyun rolled her eyes a few times, and she was naturally displeased, but it was useless to vote against her own land, so she could only smile generously: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the arrangements, Xiangyun."

All of a sudden, everyone left the Golden Luan Hall, and only Song Qingtong and Chu Tianmo were left in the hall.

Chu Tianmo stood calmly in the center of the hall, with his back straight and his body leaning forward slightly, as if he was waiting for Song Qingtong to speak.

Song Qingtong's heart sank slightly, he and everyone else were smiling, but facing himself, his face immediately raised up, just because she saved him?There was a mocking smile on his lips, forget it, let's get down to business.

He got up and walked down the jade steps, walked slowly to Chu Tianmo, and asked, "Father Xiang, Lin Kuang has been working hard since he took over as Prime Minister, but I don't know anything about his life experience, and I have a relationship with him." .”

Chu Tianmo replied: "Lin Kuang's parents died when he was young, and he brought his younger brother Lin Jue to the capital when he was 15 years old. The minister saw that he was smart and respectful, so he took him under the door, and recommended him to be an official when he was weak. , and because of his outstanding political achievements, he returned to Beijing at the age of 24 and was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Song Qingtong nodded, and asked in a deep voice, "Lin Jue, Lin Kuang's younger brother, also entered the palace at that time?"

Chu Tianmo frowned slightly, and said with his chin: "Lin Jue entered the palace when Lin Kuang was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. The emperor had just ascended the throne and needed to fill the harem. The sons of officials of the sixth rank in the court had to be selected. Yushi Zhu Li always worked with his ministers. There was a disagreement, so I recommended Lin Kuang's younger brother Lin Jue in front of the emperor."
