"I won't go, I won't go!"
"Please tell the Fourth Prince to tell His Majesty the Emperor of Daliang that since Daliang does not welcome us, we will leave first!"
"From now on, I, the Xia Kingdom, will not come to bother Daliang!"
Seeing that Xia Wenqi was very angry, it seemed that he had really had a dispute with Song Yu just now!
If it was only Song Yu who came to greet him and made the Xia envoys so angry that they threatened never to pay tribute again, then Song Huan would naturally be happy.
After all, this was a trap set by Song Yu alone, and Song Yu alone should bear the consequences of whatever happened.
But at this juncture, Emperor Liang was afraid that something would go wrong, so he had to ask Song Huan to come and see the situation!
This looks like the situation is not good.
If Song Huan failed to stabilize Xia Wenqi, it would be Song Huan's incompetence!
By that time, it's not just Song Yu's problem.
Song Huan will also be implicated by the innocent!
Thinking of this, Song Huan couldn't help but lament in his heart.
Dear father, dear father, you are too deceptive to your son!
If anything good happens in the future, just think of your son.
Don't ask your son to do this kind of thankless thing again!
Although he felt helpless, Song Huan still had to look concerned when facing Xia Wenqi who threatened to leave.
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong!"
"For hundreds of years, the Xia Kingdom has always been my vassal state of Daliang, and I, the Emperor of Daliang, have always treated the people of the Xia Kingdom as my own!"
"Just because of a small quarrel, the prince said such angry words."
"If Prince Xia hears this, I'm afraid he will feel uncomfortable in his heart!"
Song Huan said this with a smile, but when Xia Wenqi heard it, his pupils tightened involuntarily!
This fourth prince is not only neither crazy nor stupid now, he is actually very capable and speaks flawlessly!
These two sentences, which appear to be full of smiles, are actually secretly reminding me.
The Xia Kingdom has been clinging to the beam for hundreds of years. If it was just because of its own reasons that it impulsively threatened to never pay tribute, wouldn't it be a big deal?
And if he just returned to Xia Kingdom, his father would never forgive him easily!
Although Xia Wenqi's threat to leave was just a bluff, Song Huan's words just now still shocked him.
It seems that this prince is not scary enough.
What should really attract attention is the fourth prince in front of us─Song Huan!
Xia Wenqi remained silent and stared at Song Huan for a long time, then suddenly he looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Fourth Prince, I was joking just now!"
"You're not taking it seriously, are you?"
"The Xia Kingdom has been on friendly terms with Daliang for many years, and has been bowing to Daliang for hundreds of years!"
"How could you not come to pay tribute so easily?"
"I'm just joking, don't take it too seriously!"
"Come on, let's quickly go to the main hall to face the saint!"
Seeing Xia Wenqi changing his face so quickly, Song Huan couldn't help but curse. It seemed that this guy was also a person who could change his face like a book.
But it doesn't matter if he changes his face, as long as this guy is willing to follow him to see Emperor Liang, then let him do whatever he wants!
"Prince, let's go!"
Seeing that Song Yu always had a confused expression as if she was wandering nine days away, Song Huan had no choice but to step forward and greet her.
"ah?"
Song Yu withdrew her thoughts and looked at Song Huan blankly, with an expression of "Who am I, where am I and what is happening to me?"
If you asked him why he beat Xia Wenqi just now, he might not even be able to remember it!
Seeing his unstable mood, Song Huan finally believed that this guy was indeed poisoned by mushrooms.
And the illness is not serious!
This is called treating others in their own way!
Not long after, Song Huan and Song Yu, together with Xia Wenqi, led a large number of Xia envoys to the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
"Meet Emperor Liang!"
"Emperor Liang's happiness and longevity are equal to those of Heaven!"
"Long live Long live Long live!"
As soon as Xia Wenqi entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, he led his envoys and quickly knelt down to Emperor Liang.
Emperor Liang was originally worried that if the Crown Prince really fought with the Crown Prince of Xia, what kind of trouble would be caused.
Unexpectedly, the prince of Xia's face looked as usual, and there was nothing strange about him. Emperor Liang unconsciously showed his approval to Song Huan.
This guy's ability to do things is really good!
"Your Majesty, you have been traveling all the way, and you have been tired of traveling and traveling. Thank you for your hard work."
"I haven't seen Xia Yuan for many years. I heard that Xia Yuan has successfully ascended the throne. I haven't had time to congratulate Xia Yuan on his enthronement!"
Although Emperor Liang had a smile on his face, his words were full of congratulations.
But the attitude is not that good!
As the Xia Kingdom was a vassal state of Daliang, it would not be an exaggeration to say that their throne was given by the Emperor of Daliang.
Logically speaking, when the Xia prince ascended the throne, he should have gone to Beijing in person to pay homage to the Liang Emperor.
But Xia Yuan not only refused to enter the capital, but also did not send envoys to Daliang for three consecutive years!
If Emperor Liang had not been so preoccupied with fighting Bei Yuan that he had no time to take care of the Xia Kingdom, he would have sent a large army in the past two years to personally greet Xia Yuan, the prince of Xia.
Xia Yuan was obviously aware of this, so after Daliang defeated Bei Yuan, he quickly sent his eldest son to pay tribute!
Xia Wenqi obviously understood the implication of Emperor Liang's words. The smile on his face instantly faded and was replaced by a touch of sadness.
"Your Majesty, you..."
"I'm afraid you don't know something!"
"The year my father came to the throne, Daxia suffered a snowstorm that was rare in a century!"
"Winter begins early in the Xia Kingdom, and winter is long. Look, winter came very early that year!"
"There is not much fertile farmland in the Xia Kingdom. The snowstorm came early, and the people failed to store enough food for the winter. As a result, the people were miserable and the people were in dire straits!"
"My father knew that Daliang was busy fighting against Beiyuan and did not want to ask for help from your majesty. He simply broke his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach. He endured it for three years."
"Three years!"
"Do you know how my father came here in the past three years?"
"People's lives were difficult, so my father opened the granary and took out all the stocks."
"But even so, countless people have died of hunger and freezing in the past three years!"
"Among the victims, there are women and children, the elderly, and even countless young adults!"
"Seeing their misery, as the crown prince of the Xia Kingdom, I really can't bear it and I can't calm down..."
The misery Xia Wenqi described, the grief in his words, and the deep feeling of grief and indignation moved everyone present.
Emperor Liang did not expect that Xia Kingdom's past three years would be so difficult, and he sighed unconsciously.
"In the past three years, the people of Xia Kingdom have suffered."
"It's not easy for your father either!"
"The Xia Kingdom suffered such a major disaster, but as an envoy you came to pay tribute, and you actually brought so many tributes."
"I'm so touched!"
"Don't worry, if there is another disaster like this in Xia Kingdom in the future, I will never stand by and let the people of Xia Kingdom live in dire straits!"
Hearing Emperor Liang's words, a proud smile flashed across Xia Wenqi's face.
The smile was fleeting, and everyone was immersed in sympathy for the people of Xia Kingdom and did not notice it.
However, Song Huan, who had a keen sense of smell, still saw it.
He already had a bad impression of Xia Wenqi, but now that he saw Xia Wenqi's treacherous smile, he knew that this guy definitely didn't have any good intentions!
