The atmosphere in the hall gradually became tense, and the expression on Emperor Liang's face became even more ugly.
He hated others threatening him most in his life, let alone this small country that had bowed to Daliang for more than two hundred years!
Seeing that Daliang led them to be polite, do you really think you can ride on Daliang's head and dominate?
ridiculous!
Seeing that the current situation was deadlocked, Bachelor Chen Zilin quickly came out to smooth things over: "Your Majesty, this matter happened suddenly after all!"
"Let the prince think more about it!"
Several others also hurriedly spoke to persuade: "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"This is a century-old plan and cannot be careless!"
"I think the Crown Prince of Xia Kingdom won't be able to accept it for a while, so why not let the Crown Prince think about it for a while?"
Song Huan made a quick observation and soon discovered the clues.
At this time, those who spoke to Emperor Liang for advice were, without exception, all the courtiers under the Grand Master!
These people unanimously persuaded Emperor Liang to give Xia Wenqi some more time to think about it.
Could it be that they have some ulterior motive?
Song Huan didn't say much, but secretly kept the matter in mind.
It seems that the only way to understand what he wants is to ask the Crown Prince of Xia in person!
Emperor Liang didn't want to make the matter too ugly, so he waved his hand.
"The Crown Prince of Xia Kingdom has come all the way, and it's really hard work."
"I will hold a banquet in the palace tonight, and then I will entertain the prince well!"
Xia Wenqi lowered his head expressionlessly: "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor!"
After Emperor Liang left, all the courtiers began to discuss.
"What exactly does this 'tea-horse trade' mean? Mr. Fang, did you understand just now?"
"You didn't understand such a simple and easy-to-understand policy! What Prince Rong means is to use our Daliang things to exchange for the things of the people of Xia Kingdom!"
"In this case, wouldn't we no longer have to spend a lot of money to buy Xia Kingdom's horses, colored glaze, black iron and other items?"
"That's right! Not only that, if Xia Guo wants to ask for rewards in the future, he will never be as confident as he is today!"
"Okay! Okay! The 'tea-horse trade' proposed by Prince Rong is really very satisfying!"
"Let's see if those Xia people still dare to be shameless and ask for something from me, Daliang!"
"..."
The courtiers discussed without hesitation, without any scruples about Xia Wenqi, who was looking increasingly ugly.
When passing Song Huan, Xia Wenqi deliberately stopped and smiled at Song Huan: "Prince Rong is so brave!"
"To have a son like you, the current Emperor of Liang is really lucky!"
Song Huan smiled sincerely: "Oh? Really!"
"I think so too!"
"However, it is also lucky for Prince Xia to have a heir like you."
"After all, there are not many people who can beg openly these days."
"Your Majesty, what do you think?"
Xia Wenqi has always prided himself on being articulate, but he didn't expect that when he met Song Huan today, he couldn't get any advantage from him!
"you you……"
"good very good!"
"I haven't seen him for more than ten years, and Prince Rong is no longer what he used to be!"
"But please don't worry, Prince Rong. This 'tea-horse trade', not to mention that I don't agree to it, even my father will never agree to it!"
"Prince Rong, it's best not to have too high hopes!"
After saying that, Xia Wenqi snorted coldly, rolled up his sleeves and left.
Harsh words, right?
Not interesting!
Song Huan sneered, now you are so confident in your words, tomorrow, I will ask you to change your words immediately.
I'm afraid this guy doesn't know yet, but he still holds a trump card in his hand...
the other side.
"Your Highness, please stay!"
Seeing Prince Song Yu turning around and leaving as if nothing had happened, Shangguan Yi quickly took a few steps to catch up.
He really had too many questions in his mind, and he wanted to ask the prince to ask them all clearly!
"Your Highness, I haven't seen you for so many days, why are you..."
"Old man, I am in a hurry to relieve myself, what do you want me to do!"
Song Yu turned around impatiently and glared at Shangguan Yi in front of him with a frown.
Shangguan Yi was suddenly shocked!
The former prince was extremely respectful to him. Whenever he saw him, he would bow down and call him "Grandpa"!
When had he ever called himself "old man?"
Something's wrong!
Something is very wrong!
Shangguan Yi's expression was a little serious: "What happened to Your Highness to do such a thing just now!"
"Not to mention that His Highness had a dispute with Song De and then fought against the Crown Prince of Xia Kingdom!"
"But arbitrarily agreeing to marry the Xia Kingdom and marry the Xia Kingdom princess is already a big mistake!"
"Hasn't His Highness considered whether doing this will arouse His Majesty's dissatisfaction..."
Shangguan Yi kept talking and didn't notice Song Yu's increasingly impatient expression.
"Old man! Are you bothered by your endless nagging?"
"I am the prince, so naturally I can do whatever I want!"
"Besides, she's just a princess of Xia Kingdom!"
"I will take it if I take it, so what?"
"Is this king unworthy?"
Seeing Song Yu's arrogant expression, Shangguan Yi was stunned for a moment, then thought deeply.
"Your Highness, you mean that you don't take the Xia people into your eyes at all, do you?"
"I understand!"
"You don't intend to make Princess Xia your crown princess, you just want to keep her by your side to be a powerful political weight..."
Speaking of this, Shangguan Yi's eyes lit up!
There is nothing wrong with the prince, but he is as wise as a fool!
Even if he married Princess Xia, he had no intention of making her the crown princess.
In this way, he has another supporter like Xia Guo behind him!
Why not?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but cast an approving look at him.
Unexpectedly, the prince has been in seclusion for more than thirty years, but he has become smarter than before!
The only person who can't see clearly is you!
Seeing that Shangguan Yi kept talking to herself, Song Yu was impatient and a little confused.
This old man has been talking to himself and talking nonsense. What does he mean?
I just saw that Princess Xia's butt was so fertile, so I kept her by my side.
I can't understand what he's talking about!
"Hey, crazy old man."
"Get out of the way! Don't stop me from relieving myself!"
Looking at Song Yu's leaving eyes, Shangguan Yi's eyes showed a little surprise and a little relief.
The prince has finally grown up, and is no longer the submissive child he once was, following his own lead!
With the prince's outstanding performance, the fourth prince will make a big mistake tonight and be punished by Emperor Liang...
Then the prince's position as heir apparent will be more secure!
After the tribute ceremony was completely over, Lin Shuang was urged to report Xu Rong's corruption and favoritism to Emperor Liang...
By that time, Xu Rong will fall and the second prince will have no backer, so the prince will no longer have any threat!
Thinking of this, a smile of victory appeared on Shangguan Yi's face.
Everything can only be revealed tonight!
