Zhao Gao immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is unusual. Normally, she sees one being killed one by one, and she never gets used to it. This time, she actually asked the young one to come to the court to invite you, saying that this matter is related to you, and she wants to hear from you. the meaning of."
Jiang Fan snorted, narrowed his eyes and said, "So, how will the courtiers react?"
Zhao Gaodao: "I don't know much, but they seem to be waiting for the prince to express his position."
Jiang Fan tapped his fingers on the table and thought for a moment, then slowly said: "Which princess do they want?"
"Elder Princess...Jieyu..."
Jiang Fan's fingers suddenly stopped, his eyes showing deep thought...
——
This was the first time Jiang Fan entered Zhengyang Palace to attend court.
It was also the first time for the courtiers to see the Xiaoyao King, who had no interest in state affairs, walking into the main hall. They couldn't help but whisper to each other.
Jiang Fan did not wear casual clothes this time. The five-clawed golden dragon king robe was particularly conspicuous, making all the ministers who had only heard of this dress look strange.
Jiang Fan strolled up to the main hall and looked around.
I saw the empress at the top sitting upright with a plain face.
Under the imperial steps, hundreds of civil and military officials sat on their knees on both sides. The chief civil officer is Li Xiu. As for the generals, Gao Qi is still absent. He seems to rarely show up. General Meng Ao has abdicated and will not appear in the court most of the time. Therefore, Wang Jian is at the forefront of the generals.
There were three men in strange clothes standing in front of them. At a glance, they knew they were barbarians.
Jiang Fan had never been to court before. He didn't know much about etiquette and didn't bother to care about it. Anyway, there were no rules for standing shoulder to shoulder. He immediately strode to the imperial steps and casually bowed his hands: "Meet your Majesty."
It is rumored that the emperor will not worship him if he stands side by side with the king, but this one is too casual. He didn't even have basic etiquette, which made many people frown.
Many people took a peek to see how His Majesty would react.
Ying Wushuang turned a blind eye to this. He said, "You're here."
Ah! This time it was more casual, as if he was just asking a casual question in a casual chat with his family.
"Ah, what do you want from me today? You know, I don't go to court and don't care about state affairs."
All the courtiers looked confused, how dare you speak. Let’s not talk about whether what you said is right or not, but what kind of behavior do you and I have?
And Ying Wushuang's reaction surprised everyone even more.
"It's no big deal." She pointed at the three barbarian envoys: "They said you massacred a tribe, and they want an explanation."
Jiang Fan turned to look at the three people, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said to Ying Wushuang: "Your Majesty, you are looking for me, just go to Mortal Residence, why are you here."
One of the sturdy barbarians sneered, "King Xiaoyao, a year ago you massacred tens of thousands of people from my Guirong tribe for no reason. My king was very dissatisfied and asked for an explanation." His tone was actually very standard.
Jiang Fan looked at him: "Yes, I killed him. What do you want to say?"
The barbarian shouted loudly: "You killed tens of thousands of my tribe, aren't you afraid that my army will invade the territory?"
Jiang Fan waved his hand impatiently: "I was not a minister of Qin at that time, and Guirong was not under the command of King Zuo Xian. How can I say that you can cause trouble for Great Qin."
The man snorted: "Of course my king knows that the prince has done this with the Wei people, but now the prince is a minister of Qin, and after all, the Gui Rong tribe is also a member of my clan, and they both belong to the Golden Tent Royal Court, how can it not be justified? But my king I am kind and do not want to start a war with the Qin State. Therefore, my king has already negotiated with the King Youxian. As long as the State of Qin sends a princess to get married, the matter will be dropped. Otherwise, my king and the King Youxian will seek an explanation from the State of Qin. .”
"A marriage..." Jiang Fan showed a strange smile on his lips: "A marriage is good."
Suddenly all the officials and generals looked shocked and angry.
During the past hundred years of the Qin Dynasty, there had been border crossings and bloody battles, but there had been no marriage. Is Jiang Fan insulting the Qin people?
A civil servant couldn't help but stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. Since the founding of the Qin Dynasty, there has never been any marriage, which is so detrimental to the country's prestige..."
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, "Sir, what's wrong with getting married? They have to make amends to a princess, so just keep it. Of course, the debt can't be settled..."
The civil and military officials throughout the dynasty were all confused. I said to you, what’s wrong with you, you don’t understand what’s going on? They asked us to send the princess to get married.
Jiang Fan turned to the confused barbarian: "Well, princess, you have to choose a good one. Since you said that you both belong to the Golden Tent, then this matter will be blamed on the Golden Tent. I heard that you, the Great Wolf Lord There is a daughter who is known as the most beautiful woman in the prairie. She seems to be called...Crescent Princess, right? Okay, it's her. Send it over as soon as possible. It's best to bring more dowry as compensation..."
All civil and military officials in the dynasty were stunned by Jiang Fan. Did he really not know or was he just pretending?
The three barbarians were almost furious. The Crescent Moon Princess was the only daughter of the Great Wolf Lord and the pearl of the entire prairie, and this person actually spoke arrogantly. The three barbarians were furious.
The leader of the barbarians shouted: "I mean, let your princess marry our prince and make a marriage!"
Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment, "Huh? What did you say? Let us have a princess to marry?"
The barbarian sneered: "That's natural, just apologize for what happened to the Ghost Rongbu."
Jiang Fan said: "That's what happened... Such a marriage..."
He walked forward slowly, looked at the barbarian with squinted eyes, and suddenly kicked out the man, sending the man flying and hitting the pillar of the hall.
"Marriage? I'm the same age as your grandma!"
The man screamed, the other two barbarians were shocked, and the whole court was in chaos.
No one could have imagined that King Xiaoyao would be so eccentric. Before he finished speaking, he would just lift his leg and kick him.
Although the other two barbarians were furious, they did not dare to attack Jiang Fan in the Qin Palace. They couldn't help shouting angrily: "What do you mean!"
"What do you mean?" Jiang Fan sneered: "I have seen shameless people before, but I have never seen anyone so shameless. You went south to clear grass in the valley and insulted my Chinese people, and you actually dare to come and ask for an explanation? Who gave you the courage? "
he asked sharply. Although the civil servants felt that what he said was reasonable, his approach was too impulsive and might lead to war.
But the generals felt relieved, and even Xiaoren Tu rarely showed a look of approval.
However, he was so helpless, and Ying Wushuang above still didn't say anything, just looked at him with a calm expression.
The one who was kicked away finally got up and said angrily: "We are the envoys of King Zuoxian. You beat the envoys. Are you not afraid of a war between the two countries?"
Jiang Fan curled his lips and said, "You don't seem to be looking for trouble. We're still getting married. Aren't you just using this as an excuse to stir up trouble? No, I said that the matter about Guirong was done by me in the Kingdom of Wei. , has nothing to do with Da Qin, if you want revenge, I will give you a chance."
Wang Jian suddenly stood up and said, "What do you mean by these words, my lord? You are the king of our country, how can you be insulted by outsiders? Do you think that our soldiers of the country are not worthy of a battle?"
Jiang Fan turned to look at him, smiled and waved his hand: "This is not what I mean. I will handle this matter. General, don't get excited."
Wang Jian wanted to say something else, but seeing that His Majesty was indifferent, his eyes flickered and he stepped back.
Jiang Fan looked at the barbarian and said, "Everyone is responsible for what he does. I have said that this matter has nothing to do with Qin. Naturally, you have no reason to say anything about making peace with Qin. Listen, if King Zuo Xian is a man, I will go to the grassland." Take a walk and meet him!"
