Chapter 225

The negotiation team sent by the Rong tribe this time exceeded 300 people, consisting of hundreds of tribes on the grassland. The person in charge is the prince Hu Yanli from the Qiang Department, and Jin Wendao from the Northern Barbarian Department is also among them. In addition to negotiations, they also had the task of purchasing, bringing back the paper, tea, ironware, and the like from the empire. These things are sky-high prices in the Rong people, and it is not an exaggeration to change a pot for a woman.

The head of the empire is the eldest prince Li Letian, and the negotiators are composed of treacherous and cunning officials from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War.

The negotiations did not go very well, or rather, it did not go well for the Imperial side. The characteristic of the empire's speech is politeness, always: Ha, the weather is good today, the weather was not so good last year, hehe, the weather was also good the year before last...... Talking nonsense, every sentence is witty, and I can't understand it at all without a certain amount of knowledge.

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

Weak countries have no diplomacy.

In fact, last year, the Rong people forced the empire to sign the alliance under the city, and now they are only determining some implementation details. Land cuts, indemnities, and affinity.

After a series of bargaining, most things have been determined, and now it is only a matter of kissing.

In fact, it's not complicated, it's just a temporary search for a palace maid to be named a princess, as for the real princess of the empire, even if it is the daughter of the prince, she is reluctant to marry into a barbarian land like the Rong people.

The leader of the Qiang tribe is named Huyanba, and he also has a title: the king of the Rong tribe, the nominal ruler of the entire Rong tribe. It is said that although this person is over half a hundred years old, he still has amazing physical strength, and he can count women at night without changing his face.

And in a barbarian land like the Rong people, the imperial people still despise it in their hearts.

Today's negotiations are at an impasse again, and it seems that Hu Yanli is not very satisfied with the "princess" chosen by the empire.

"I don't think it's better to leave it like this today, and we'll talk about it later. Li Lotian said. Anyway, this is not the first time such a stalemate has been encountered, and there will always be a solution to it if you grind slowly.

"We are the sons of the Immortal Heaven, and you don't want to fool a commoner woman. "Breath the force.

"How could it be, how could it be. Li Letian smiled: "The king of Youzhou happens to be in the capital, do you want to see each other." ”

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

"King Youzhou?" Hu Yanli looked around at the clansmen around him, and found that everyone shook their heads: "What do you see, but you haven't heard of it." ”

"It's Yang Long, it's ......" Li Letian wanted to say: It's the person who beat you so badly, how can you not hear of it.

"I don't know, I don't see. Hu Yanli said directly.

Li Letian shook his head and said in his heart: The Rong clan is really unbearing, and they don't even have the courage to meet the people who have defeated them, as if they deliberately didn't mention this matter, and their words should have hit them just in the sore spot.

"If there is someone in Chang'an, I would like to see it. Kim asked suddenly.

"I don't know who the prince wants to see, but if he is close, he should be able to see it. ”

"He ......," Kim asked, with bad memories coming to mind: "He calls himself the Toad King, and he should be called ...... Cheng Dalei. ”

"Cheng Dalei ......" Li Letian was stunned, his eyes looked around at the court officials, and everyone's expressions were the same as those of the Rong clan just now: I don't know, I haven't heard of it.

But why did Jin ask if he didn't see anything else, but he wanted to see this Cheng Da Lei, who was he.

"General Cheng defeated us and slaughtered many warriors of our clan, as the prince of the Northern Barbarian Tribe, I should hate him, but as a soldier, I respect him. Kim asked.

Li Letian looked confused: Who, who is it.

"After making such a great achievement, the empire will not fail to reward him, and he should be in Chang'an now. Kim asked.

"Ha, yes, I'll get him to see you as soon as possible. "Li Letian.

Everyone walked outside the hall together, and Li Letian was still pondering what Jin asked just now, and he was a little distracted for a while. At this moment, a little eunuch ran over from the side of the mewah and hit Li Letian impartially.

Li Letian was shocked when he saw her appearance, you didn't care about messing around in the past, what kind of occasion is today, you dare to jump out and spin around.

"Get out of here!"

Li Wan'er ran out of breath, her cheeks flushed, and she was also startled when she saw this scene.

"Yes, yes. ”

Hu Yanli stared at the little eunuch with great interest, and said, "Eldest prince, this is ......"

"An ignorant little eunuch has disturbed you. ”

Li Wan'er lowered her head and walked out, perhaps because she was too nervous, 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 and hat fell, her long hair fell like a waterfall, and she looked at the back nervously, but she saw that everyone's eyes were looking at her, and at this time her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and her mood was the same as Li Letian: It's too embarrassing.

"Princess Mingyu, Princess Mingyu. ”

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

Li Letian laughed dryly twice and said, "Ha, there are no rules for my subordinates, I will definitely punish them severely when I turn around." ”

Hu Yanli was still looking at Li Wan'er's back: "It's nothing, it's nothing." ”

After sending the Rong clan to his residence, Li Letian came to Weiyang Palace and first respectfully saluted Emperor Ming.

"Finished talking?" Emperor Ming.

"They have been sent back, and only the one that has not yet been confirmed is the one who is close, but the results will be soon. ”

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

Cutting land, paying compensation, and making peace with relatives are not face-showing things, and anyone who signs these with the Rong clan will have to bear the result of being poked in the backbone by the people of the world, and it can even be said that it will be left behind for 10,000 years. Li Letian is willing to take charge of this matter, and in the eyes of many, his political career has been ruined, and his future is not 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 Emperor Ming. After all, if the war is defeated, someone will always bear the infamy, and this infamy is carried for the father, can the father not think of himself.

"Sharing the worries of the father and the king is what the sons should do. Li Letian gave another deep salute.

"Get up and talk, and try the snacks from the Imperial Dining Room. ”

"Yes, yes. Li Letian was so excited, this kind of care had never been seen before.

"If the Rong clan gains another inch, the next negotiation will let Yang Long stop, and let them understand something. ”

"Estimated...... Nothing to use. Li Letian paused: "They don't seem to be very happy to see Yang Long stop, 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 tribe, this Cheng Dalei seems to be very respected in the Rong tribe. ”

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