It Starts With A Mountain

Chapter 225

The Rong tribe sent a negotiating group of more than 300 people, consisting of hundreds of tribes on the grassland. The chief person in charge was Prince Huyanli from the Qiang Department, and Jin Wenwen from the Northern Man Department was also among them. In addition to negotiating, they also had the task of purchasing, bringing back the empire's paper, tea, iron and the like. These things are sky-high in the Rong tribe, and it is not an exaggeration to exchange a pot for a woman.

The person in charge of the empire is the eldest prince Li Letian, and the negotiators are composed of cunning officials such as the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War.

Negotiations did not go well, or rather, on the Imperial side. The characteristics of imperial speech are polite, always: Ha, the weather is good today, but it was not so good last year, huh, the weather was not so good the year before... Can't understand.

And the Rong people are all straightforward men, they can't stand this set at all, and they really don't understand it, so they pull out their knives at every turn: If you don't give it, we'll grab it.

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

In fact, last year, the Rong clan forced the empire to sign the alliance under the city, and now only some implementation details have been determined. Land ceding, reparations, and relatives.

After a series of haggling, most things have been settled, and now the only thing to talk about is kissing.

In fact, it is not complicated. It is nothing more than finding a palace maid temporarily to be named a princess. As for the real princess of the empire, even the daughter of the prince is reluctant to marry into a barbarian land like the Rong family.

The leader of the Qiang tribe was named Huyanba, and he also had a title: King of the Rong tribe, the nominal ruler of the entire Rong tribe. It is said that although this person is over fifty years old, his physical strength is still amazing, and he can control several women at night without changing his face.

And the barbarian land like the Rong family is still despised by the imperial people.

Today's negotiation has reached a deadlock again, it seems that Huyanli is not satisfied with the "princess" elected by the empire.

"I think it's better to be like this today and talk about it on another day." Li Letian said. Anyway, this is not the first time such a deadlock has been encountered, and there will always be a solution to slow grinding.

"We are the sons of Changshengtian, you can't fool a commoner woman." Huyanli.

"How could it happen, how could it happen." Li Letian smiled: "The King of Youzhou happens to be in the capital. Would you like to meet me?"

The implication is that we also have people who beat you, don't be too presumptuous, it's useless.

"King of Youzhou?" Huyanli looked around the clansmen around him and found that everyone shook their heads: "See you, I haven't heard of it."

"It's Yang Longting, it's..." Li Letian wanted to say: It's the person who beat you so badly, how could you have never heard of it.

"I don't know, I don't see it." Huyanli said directly.

Li Letian shook his head and said to his heart: The Rong people are really intolerant, and they don't even have the courage to meet the people who once defeated them. It seems that he deliberately didn't mention it. His words should hit their sore spot.

"If there is someone in Chang'an, I would like to meet." Jin asked suddenly.

"I don't know who the prince wants to see. If you are close, you should be able to see it."

"He..." Jin asked with bad memories in his mind: "He calls himself King Toad, and should be called... Cheng Dalei."

"Cheng Dalei..." Li Letian was stunned, and looked around the court officials. Everyone had the same expression as the Rong family just now: I don't know, I haven't heard of it.

But why did Jin ask that he didn't see anything else, but he wanted to see Cheng Dalei, who was he.

"General Cheng defeated us and slaughtered many warriors of our clan. As a prince of the Northern Man tribe, I should hate him, but as a soldier, I respect him." Jin asked.

Li Letian looked confused: Who is it, who is it?

"For such a great achievement, the Empire will not fail to reward him. He should be in Chang'an now." Jin asked.

"Ha, yes, I will let him come to see you as soon as possible." Li Letian.

Everyone walked out of the hall together. Li Letian was still pondering what Jin asked just now, and he was a little lost for a while. At this moment, a little eunuch ran over from the sidewalk and bumped into Li Letian.

Li Letian was shocked when he saw her appearance. It's okay to mess around with you in the past, and you dare to jump out and run around on any occasion today.

"Go away!"

Li Wan'er ran out of breath, her cheeks flushed, and she was shocked to see this scene.

"Yes Yes."

Huyanli stared at the little eunuch with great interest, and said, "Prince, this is..."

"An ignorant little eunuch bothered you all."

Li Wan'er walked out with her head lowered. Perhaps because she was too nervous, she stepped on the steps and fell to the ground.

Li Letian wanted to cover his face: it's too embarrassing.

Li Wan'er raised her head, her crown fell, and her long hair fell like a waterfall. She looked at the back nervously, but she saw that everyone was looking at her. At this moment, beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she was in the same mood as Li Letian: So embarrassing.

"Princess Mingyu, Princess Mingyu."

The two palace maids hurried over, picked up Li Wan'er, and left quickly.

Li Letian laughed dryly and said, "Ha, there are no rules here, I will punish them severely when I look back."

Huyanli still stared at Li Wan'er's back: "Nothing, nothing."

After sending the Rong family to their residence, Li Letian came to the Weiyang Palace and bowed respectfully to Emperor Ming.

"Finished?" Emperor Ming.

"They have been sent back, and the only thing that has not yet been confirmed is the marriage, but there will be results soon."

Emperor Ming nodded lightly, looked at Li Letian who was kneeling in front of him, and said, "I have wronged you."

The ceding of land, indemnity, and marriage are not things that show their faces. Anyone who signs these with the Rong family will suffer the result of being stabbed in the spine by the world, and it can even be said that they will be stinky for thousands of years. Li Letian is willing to take charge of this matter. In the eyes of many people, his political career has been ruined, and his future will not be related to the throne.

But Li Letian knew in his heart that it was not the people of the world who decided the throne, but the Ming Emperor. After all, if the battle is defeated, someone will always bear the infamy. This infamy is recited on behalf of the father and the king. Can the father not read himself.

"It's what the sons should do to share the worries for the father and the king." Li Letian saluted again.

"Get up and talk, and try the snacks from the imperial kitchen."

"Yes." Li Letian was so excited that he had never had such concern before.

"If the Rong clan takes an inch, let Yang Long stop the next negotiation, and let them know something."

"I guess...it's useless." Li Letian paused: "They don't seem to be very happy to see Yang Longting, but this time they mentioned a person named Cheng Dalei."

"Who?" Emperor Ming was also confused.

"I don't know, but looking at the meaning of the Rong family, Cheng Dalei seems to be very respected in the Rong family."

Emperor Ming frowned, waved his hand and said, "Check it out."
