Cheng Wanwan listened quietly to what Zhao Sanniu said about the situation in the court.
She knew very well that Assab's palace changes had already come to an end after the prince came back from the dead.
During the half month since the prince "died", his soul kept appearing in front of the bedside of the senior military officials, using "the way of heaven", "destiny", "subjects", etc. to instigate rebellion. The 200,000 troops in the hands of King Yali had already been Unluckily, after giving the order, only 20,000 to 30,000 people rushed forward, and were finally suppressed by the army.
King Yali, who had controlled the government and the public for more than ten years, fell.
Cheng Wanwan originally thought that he would stay in Assab for at least a month, but he did not expect that the matter would be resolved in twenty days. The remaining matters of clearing out the remnants of the party had nothing to do with their country of Dayu, and he could go back early.
The royal family held a grand feast in the palace.
"Don't you want to stay a little longer?" the queen said with regret, "I still want to take you to see the snowfield."
Cheng Wanwan smiled and said: "It will be too cold when we can see the snowfields. It is difficult to walk on the cold and freezing road, so we should start as soon as possible."
"How about leaving next spring?" The prince said respectfully, "Although Assab's winter is cold, the scenery is very unique. Mrs. Sui can have fun here. After the ice and snow melt in the spring, the scenery along the way is also very good. , it’s rare to come here once, and seeing all the scenery makes the trip worthwhile, right?”
He really wanted Cheng Wanwan to stay.
In the past, he always felt that he was the smartest person in the royal family. It was not until he met the adviser of Dayu Kingdom and Mrs. Sui of Dayu Kingdom that he realized that there are people outside the world and there is a heaven outside the world.
He wanted to spend some more time with Mrs. Sui, and he wanted to learn more about Mrs. Sui's way of thinking...
Cheng Wanwan declined politely: "I have seen all the beautiful scenery in Assab during this period, and I am satisfied."
While the prince was busy seizing power, she took Zhao Sanniu and Ruan Mingzhu to wander outside every day. Outside the capital, there were endless grasslands, snow-capped mountains all year round, a mirror-like Tianhu Lake, and ancient The century-old forest... After walking around, her body and mind were greatly relaxed. She was very satisfied.
"Since you can't keep them, then bring back more gifts from Assab." The queen asked people to bring out many boxes and open them one by one. "This is the most colorful ruby. This box is made of agate and amber." , this box is made of crystal...these are all uncarved natural gems. Mrs. Sui can ask craftsmen to make them into the style she likes...These eight boxes are my personal gifts to Mrs. Sui, and the other ones are given to Dayu. The gift from the Emperor and Queen is over there.”
Over there, the king was holding the king of Qin talking, and two officials from Honglu Temple were responsible for the translation.
"Otherwise, King Qin would deal with King Yali every day, and the prince would not have won over so many people from the military so quickly. These are all thank-you gifts from the royal family to King Qin."
The king ordered his men to open the boxes and cages, and they were all filled with gleaming gold.
He continued: "These ten boxes are all for King Qin. The nine boxes of gold here are for the adults who came to Assab. There are also several boxes of silver, all of which are given to the guards who come with them. "
The two counselors, four officials from Honglu Temple, two officials from the Ministry of Industry and Household Affairs, and He Xiao, who was in charge of escorting, were all shocked.
Each of them has a box of gold, which is at least ten thousand taels of silver... The Assab royal family is really rich, so rich!
The king continued to speak: "All the glassware produced by Liulichang this year will be donated to the emperor and queen of the Dayu Dynasty!"
The people below brought up some strange objects from Liulichang.
There are many lifelike ornaments made of colored glass, as well as colored glass cups, which look particularly beautiful when you pour wine into them. There are also windows made of colored glass that can be inlaid on the walls of the palace, making the palace more spacious and brighter...
People from Dayu Kingdom gathered around Liuli and marveled.
Cheng Wanwan took a closer look and could see many impurities on the colored glaze. For modern times, these colored glazes are not transparent and delicate enough, but in this era they are already extremely luxurious and precious things. There are not many royal families in Dayu Kingdom. Ah Sabu sold tens of thousands of glazed utensils at once, which is not to be said to be ungenerous.
In addition to Liuli, there is also the gold mine mountain range that was mentioned before.
The gold mine has workers digging there all year round, and it can produce hundreds of thousands of gold every year. This time when I return to the DPRK, I will bring back at least 100,000 gold.
King Qin smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth.
The Queen Mother always said that he was incompetent, but look, the first time he did a big thing, he accomplished it and brought so many good things to Dayu.
After returning this time, he must ask the Queen Mother and the Imperial Brother to give him another official title for fun.
"Every early winter from now on, Assab will send people to send gold and glass to Dayu Kingdom." Wang Zhenzhen said, "We Assab will always surrender to Dayu Kingdom and will always be a vassal state of Dayu Kingdom!"
The queen smiled and said: "After the prince succeeds to the throne, please ask the emperor of Dayu to issue an edict."
King Qin nodded: "That's natural."
The day after the banquet ended, everyone in Dayu Kingdom was ready to go back.
When he arrived, he traveled lightly, but when he left, there were more than five times as many carriages. Assab also sent thousands of horses, thousands of cattle, and thousands of white sheep... The vast team could not be seen to the end.
Four members of the royal family stood on the city wall and waved to each other.
Cheng Wanwan sat in the soft carriage, stretched out his head, and said goodbye to the queen.
It wasn't until the capital turned into a small black dot that she closed the car curtain and lay on her side in the car with her eyes closed to meditate.
This will be mid-September. When she arrives in the capital, it will be almost early October. She will have to think carefully about whether to stay in the capital for the New Year or return to Dahe Town for the New Year... This is indeed a question worth struggling with.
"Aunt Wanwan, don't lie down, let's go horse racing!"
Ruan Mingzhu's voice sounded outside the carriage.
Cheng Wanwan opened the curtain and said with a helpless smile: "Don't you get tired of riding horses every day? If you get tired, just get in the carriage and come and chat with me."
"Chatting is too boring." Ruan Mingzhu raised his head and called to the person in front, "Zhao Jingyu, wait for me, let's compete again."
With that said, he rode away and ran away.
Cheng Wanwan shook her head. The young man's energy was so great that she couldn't stand riding like this every day.
"Mrs. Sui." Another figure approached from outside the carriage. It was King Qin who came closer on horseback. He smiled and said, "I wonder if Mrs. Sui noticed that your son and Miss Ruan are too close?"
Cheng Wanwan looked into the distance. The two children competed in martial arts and horse racing every day, and they seemed to be getting closer.
However, one has a brain as slow as a cow, and the other is careless and naive, so there is no way he has that kind of meaning.
She twitched the corner of her lips: "Young people like to compete. Your Majesty thinks too much."
"Ahem, just think that I'm overthinking it." King Qin suddenly took out a bouquet of flowers from behind his back, "This flower is very beautiful, and it can be used as a sight in the carriage."
He handed the flowers to Cheng Wanwan.
Cheng Wanwan: "..."
If she were eighteen years old, she might think it was romantic to give her a bouquet of flowers, but the point is, she is thirty-eight.
"Your Majesty!" Shen Dongming's voice suddenly sounded, "This is Assab's unique thorn flower. The brighter the flower, the more poisonous it is. Throw it away quickly."
King Qin: "..."
