Chapter 78: Min Qi proposes to win the tribute by winning the competition.

The inner hall of Fengluan Palace.

The green kite walked in, leaned into Feng Jiuge's ear, and said, "Palace Master, the news from Zhaoning Palace has just arrived...... It's done. ”

Feng Jiuge's hand holding the brush paused.

Yu Wenye persuaded the Queen Mother?

"Hmm." She replied lightly, lowered her head and continued to interpret the Buddhist scriptures.

-

Following.

In the early dynasty, the envoys also went to the palace and got the volume of Buddhist scriptures that the queen had interpreted.

Among the envoys, with a monk who was proficient in the Dara language, this monk also went to the temple. In front of everyone, carefully examine and compare the Buddhist scriptures interpreted by the queen.

The crowd waited quietly.

This process can be described as nervous and exciting.

About an hour later, the monk sighed lightly: "The queen of your country is really a gifted talent, this volume of Buddhist scriptures has interpreted all the essence, it is really admirable!" Admiration! ”

When the ministers heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Xiang took the lead in raising his voice towards Yu Wenye and congratulated, "Your Majesty, the queen is a blessing for the Yan Kingdom!" ”

Yu Wenye smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing this trend, other courtiers also congratulated Yu Wenye one after another, and even did not hesitate to pat the emperor's ass while praising the queen, only General Song was the faction, and his face was a little ugly.

The matter of the sutras is over, which means that the two countries are about to conclude an alliance.

In this way, the things that the third prince of Min and Yu Wenye, the emperor of Yan, wanted to talk about were transferred to all matters related to the alliance.

There are two types of alliances between countries.

One is for one of the countries to act as a surrendering party and maintain peace by forming an alliance.

In this way, this country has to pay tribute to the other country every year, and even do not hesitate to cede the city to maintain the friendship between the two countries.

The other is to strengthen each other's power and join forces with each other. This one does not have to pay tribute to the other party, but it also needs some tokens as evidence.

Therefore, Min Qi said: "Father heard that Yan Kingdom is full of talents, and Your Majesty, you are even more proficient in the art of war, brave and good at fighting, and both civil and military. However, of course, my father can't let you make a move with your noble status, and there must be many royal talents in your country. ”

Yu Wenye raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean by what the third prince said?" ”

Min Qi smiled and continued: "What my father means is that after the alliance is signed, let this king have a friendly discussion with the talent representatives of your country. If your kingdom wins, we are willing to pay you a thousand horses every year. If our country wins, then your country will have to pay our country a tribute of 10,000 quintals of grain every year. If the two countries are tied, I hope that our country and your country will exchange 500 horses for 5,000 deniers of grain every year. What does Your Majesty think? ”

When Yu Wenye heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he chuckled.

It seems that the wishful thinking of the king of Min is playing well.

In addition to the absurdity and mediocrity of the former Yan Emperor in recent years, corrupt officials are rampant everywhere and restless, most of the grain in Yan is bumper harvest, but compared to the country of Fujian, the country of the plateau, there is indeed a lack of horses, even when fighting, the horses in the army are far from enough.

The king of Min proposed this so-called competition in the hope of exchanging grain and horses with Yan in disguise.

Of course, I also hope to win this competition, so that I can get the 10,000 loads of grain every year, after all, 10,000 loads of grain is not a difficult thing for Yan Guo.

Maybe Yu Wenye agreed for the sake of face.

Of course, Yu Wenye has no reason to refuse.

Like the king of Min, he also wanted the thousand horses.
