"Harry, the envoy of the Huns, pays homage to His Majesty the Central Plains!"
After receiving Li Si's signal, the Hun envoy in leather clothes showed a very reluctant expression, and led several other envoys behind him to bow and bow.
As envoys, they are not ignorant of the etiquette of the Central Plains. The reason why they were treated with the etiquette of the grassland just now is because they did not take the Emperor of the Central Plains seriously at all!
"I'm free of charge!"
Ying Zheng didn't want to argue anymore, so he waved his hand angrily.
Li Si breathed a sigh of relief.
He also didn't expect that when these Xiongnu came to the palace, they would not use the etiquette of the Central Plains, and His Majesty almost became angry with him!
"Your Majesty, I, the Great Chan of the Huns, have sent us to the Central Plains this time for two purposes!"
The envoy was forced to salute, but he looked slightly displeased. He stopped turning around and stated his purpose directly.
"Which two?"
Ying Zheng asked with a cold face.
"Trade! We, the Great Chanyu, hope that your majesty can open the border trade between the two countries and allow the people of the two countries to exchange what they need!"
Harry held his head high and said loudly.
"Open trade? Do we still have to let you come to Xianyang to do business?"
Ying Zheng sneered.
When the borders were sealed, these Huns often invaded the people on the borders.
If border trade is opened, will they still be able to smash and loot without restraint?
The people on the border are really having a hard time!
"If His Majesty allows it, of course we would also like to do business in Xianyang!"
As if Harry didn't understand what Ying Zheng said, he showed a smile of success and nodded repeatedly.
In fact, opening up border trade is just one of them. Doing business in Xianyang is the real purpose, but they have to do it step by step. If they suddenly propose doing business in Xianyang, Ying Zheng will definitely not agree!
"Humph! You are thinking too much. It is impossible to travel to Xianyang at will!"
Ying Zheng sneered twice and refused directly.
After hearing this, the smile on Envoy Harry's face suddenly froze, revealing an unhappy look.
Since the first one doesn't work, we can only say the second one, "We Shanyu heard that your majesty has an eldest princess named Yin Man, who is both talented and beautiful and admirable, so we Shanyu want to marry her. In this way, our two countries can have permanent friendship and no longer be at war!"
"Wow..."
As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.
"These Huns not only want to come and go in our Qin Dynasty to do business at will, but they also want to marry our eldest princess?"
"Where do they get their confidence?"
"This is a foolish dream, Your Majesty will not agree...!"
Sure enough, when he heard that the Huns wanted to marry the princess, Ying Zheng's face immediately turned cold.
Little Shota also raised his head suddenly.
These Huns are so shameless that they want to marry his beautiful sister?
"My imperial sister is still young and is not suitable for marrying far away, let alone to a place like the Xiongnu where birds don't shit!"
Xiao Zhengtai responded unceremoniously.
He doesn't worry so much!
They are just some barbarians, and he will have Ying Zheng to deal with them sooner or later. The reason why he has not made any suggestions is because he wants to wait until the food harvest this autumn before taking action.
I didn't expect these Huns to come to my door!
"What...? You...?"
Harry, the leader of the Hun envoy, immediately became angry and pointed at the young lady and wanted to scold him.
But someone behind him quietly pulled the corner of his clothes, and then he calmed down his anger and continued: "I heard that drought has occurred in many places in the Qin Dynasty. People's seeds have not sprouted after they were planted in the ground. There is a possibility that there will be no harvest. If Your Majesty does not agree, don't do it." It’s my fault that the Huns’ army took advantage of people’s danger!”
"We, Xiongnu, are at the time when the water and grass are fertile. I hope your majesty will consider it carefully!"
Harry threatened with a very arrogant attitude.
"Snapped……"
This time Ying Zheng could no longer suppress his anger and slapped Long An, which made all the ministers in the room feel heartbroken.
Your Majesty is about to get angry.
"How dare a few barbarians threaten me? Do you really think that our millions of soldiers in the Qin Dynasty are vegetarians? Drag them out and chop them down!"
"yes!"
Wang Ben was furious after hearing this, and was waiting for His Majesty's words.
In response, he immediately detained the envoy.
The soldiers who had been guarding outside the palace suddenly rushed in, trying to catch the envoys!
At this moment, Li Si suddenly stood up, protected in front of the envoys, and reported, "Your Majesty, even if the two countries are at war, you will not kill the envoys. What's more, the envoys just came to ask for marriage and did not commit any serious crimes." Wrong!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, killing a few of them is a trivial matter. If it provokes a dispute between the two countries, the gain will outweigh the loss!"
"I hope your Majesty will think twice. Although the conditions proposed by these Huns envoys are unreasonable, in order to save the people of the two countries from the suffering of war, you should let them go first, right?"
Immediately afterwards, Feng Jie, Li Xin, Lu Wan and others also stood up to plead for mercy.
Ying Zheng sat on the dragon chair angrily, holding the armrests tightly with both hands. After thinking carefully, he said, "Take them to the official post to rest first!"
"yes!"
Wang Ben nodded and escorted the generals out of the Qilin Hall.
"Your Majesty, it is true that these envoys cannot be killed. We, the Qin Dynasty, have unified the six kingdoms and have already exhausted our people and money. We need to recuperate and recuperate at this time. If we kill these envoys just out of anger and cause war for the Qin Dynasty, it will really outweigh the gains and losses!"
After the envoy was taken away with his neck hanging, Feng Quji, the right minister, put his hands in his hands and went out to report.
"Didn't you hear what they threatened just now? If we don't marry the princess, they will send troops, and won't we still have to fight in the end?"
Zhang Han couldn't help but stood up and said.
"We, the Qin Dynasty's millions of soldiers, will naturally not ask for peace with the princess. Even if the envoy goes back to report, the Xiongnu Chan Yu Touman will have to think twice and may not actually send troops!"
Feng Quji neither agreed to marry the princess nor to kill the envoy.
According to the meaning of his words, just take one step at a time, and the soldiers will cover up the water and the earth!
"Feiyu, what do you mean?"
Ying Zheng listened to what the two said, thought for a moment, and finally turned to Xiao Zhengtai and asked.
"Hmph! The Huns are so ambitious. Even if my father really marries the emperor's sister to the Huns, they will never stop invading the Qin Dynasty. You also saw the greedy eyes of the envoys just now. The Qin Dynasty and the Huns can never coexist!"
Xiao Zhengtai snorted coldly, with a very disdainful attitude.
"I just heard what the envoy said. If I, the Qin Dynasty, don't agree to their conditions, I will send troops to fight!"
Li Si above the main hall raised his hands and said.
"War is a matter of time, but what I am curious about right now is why the Xiongnu who are thousands of miles away know about the drought in many places in my country so quickly?"
Xiao Zhengtai stood up from the chair, walked up to Li Si with her little hands behind her back, and asked pointedly.
After his reminder, all the ministers present suddenly woke up!
No wonder the Xiongnu would suddenly send envoys here at an unseasonable time. It turned out that they had heard about the drought in the Qin Dynasty and wanted to take advantage of the crisis and force them to start trade and marry the princess!
Otherwise, if the two countries go to war and there is drought and food shortage in Daqin, there will be internal and external troubles.
It was an expedient measure, thinking that Da Qin could only compromise!
But how did this news leak?
