Looking at the embarrassment on the face of the Dali envoy, Huang Qiong's smile never fell: "Your envoy may not know something. I never joke about this kind of thing. If your envoy agrees to this, As the king asks, this matter will naturally be taken care of by me. If your envoy refuses to agree, then I’m sorry that I can’t help you.”
"I am not in a hurry. Your envoy will think carefully before giving me an answer. You can come back to look for me when you have figured it out. The door of the British Prince's Palace is open to your envoy at any time. Of course, if your envoy has been I haven’t even figured out that something bad happened to Princess Yunxiao because of this, and I am not responsible for that.”
Speaking of this, Huang Qiong seemed to have said unintentionally: "I have no other hobbies, I just want to be better. Princess Yunxiao is known as the most beautiful woman in the south. I have admired her for a long time. Such a beauty , If you don’t receive it from my account, wouldn’t it be difficult for me to sleep and eat well? As for your age, as long as you are not an old woman, I actually don’t care too much.”
As soon as Huang Qiong finished speaking, even though the envoy was calming down, he couldn't help but secretly cursed his mother. He also despised the King of England for openly soliciting beautiful women. : "You are so horny that you don't even care about your age, as long as you are beautiful. If you are really asked to find Princess Yunxiao, wouldn't that be sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth?"
"You have been engaged to the Guilin County Prince, and now you want to forcefully marry our eldest princess Yunxiao. Our Dali Kingdom, even though it is a small country in the eyes of your Daqi Dynasty, has not fallen so low that our eldest princess can marry you. For the sake of a prince being a concubine. Even if your Daqi Dynasty is a kingdom in heaven, you still don’t want to bully people like this. This is simply a disguised public insult to our country, Dali."
"What's more, the eldest princess is indeed beautiful, and can even be said to be charming. But with that temperament and her kung fu, you look like a scholar. I'm afraid you have the life to marry or not to enjoy it?" Thinking of this , Envoy Duan, who was afraid that the King of England would cause some uncontrollable trouble after meeting the eldest princess, completely gave up the idea of asking Huang Qiong to help find the eldest princess Yunxiao.
Are you kidding me? Although the British king said this, he was somewhat insulting the Dali Kingdom. But no matter how you say it, the Da Qi Dynasty is the supreme kingdom of heaven for Dali. For Dali, a country with a small country and weak soldiers, it is even more of a behemoth. If Princess Yunxiao really hurt the King of England, who was now almost equal to the Crown Prince of Da Qi Dynasty, it would definitely be a disaster for Dali Kingdom.
Besides, this was something that a little envoy of his dared to agree to. Although if he really fell in love with Princess Yunxiao and wanted to find foreign aid so that he could confront the Emperor of Dali who controlled the Gao family, he might not really object. But Dali Buxie, the head of the Gao family who was actually in charge of state affairs and had always been obsessed with Princess Yunxiao, was now the Marquis of Shanchan and had to skin him alive.
Since the suppression of the Yang Family Rebellion, the power and prestige of the Gao family has grown increasingly, with sons and nephews almost everywhere in the government and the public. Most of the military power of the Dali Kingdom is under its control. Although the Duan royal family of Dali has not yet reached the level of puppets, in fact, all power has been transferred to the hands of the Gao family. And the head of the Gao family was not only ambitious, but he had always been obsessed with Princess Yunxiao, who almost became his sister-in-law.
Not only myself but also the Dali Emperor behind me would not dare to agree easily to the concubine of Princess Yunxiao to a prince of Daqi. The envoy Duan didn't even know what would happen to him after he returned home if he agreed to this matter. This envoy, who can be considered a member of the Dali royal family, but because his bloodline has passed out of the fifth service, can only become a minister, makes me shudder when I think about it.
Originally, according to his wishes, he did not want the Princess Yunxiao to be found. But right now, the head of the Gao family is pressing too hard. The emperor was ready to start an army and cause chaos if he didn't hand over his people. He was really helpless after being kicked like a ball for a long time. Otherwise, he wouldn't have raised the hope for the Qi Dynasty at today's meeting. Help find someone.
But I didn't expect that this British king seemed to be shrewd, but in fact he was also an absurd master. I don’t even look at how old Princess Yunxiao is, and she still wants to admire the beauty. Thinking of this matter, the envoy Duan couldn't help but feel a headache. When I thought of another thing, my headache doubled again. He was extremely resentful at this moment. Why did he take this job in the first place?
The envoy, who was really frustrated by Huang Qiong's move, kept quiet about asking Daqi for help in finding the eldest princess. Next to him, envoys from Goryeo, Japan, Uighur, and other small states could not help but reveal some thoughtful, even wretched smiles after hearing the conversation between the two people.
Especially last year, in the battle with Bei Liao for the Jurchen's homeland, they were severely defeated but they still wanted to be evil about the Jurchen's homeland. This time the tribute was paid, and the envoy from Goryeo, who was ordered by his king to make good friends with Da Qi so as to form a favorable and strong support, suddenly saw a bright light before his eyes, and it seemed that he had found a shortcut to the sky. It's good to like women. Goryeo lacks everything except women.
Now looking at the posture of the British king, the position of the new crown prince is almost certain. If he could make good friends with the British King, he would be able to exceed the mission granted by the King. This time when I came to Jingzhao Mansion, I not only brought a large number of tributes, but also brought a hundred beauties each from Korea and Bohai, just to give them to the powerful people in Daqi.
In the eyes of this envoy, Korean women were not only beautiful and fragrant, but also gentle and considerate towards men. As long as the King of England can accept these beauties, he will be conquered by these Korean women in a short time. When the time comes, with Da Qi in hand, who has even conquered the capital city of Northern Liao, what will Goryeo fear about Northern Liao?
Unlike the sad-looking Dali envoy, after hearing Huang Qiong's words, the Goryeo envoy's small eyes turned into slits with laughter. The Japanese envoy beside him unfortunately had the same idea as him. Follow his fancy and make friends with the King of England. Of course, this Japanese envoy did not want to compete with Beiliao.
They are separated from Bei Liao by a vast ocean, and the Bei Liao people have no navy. No matter how powerful the Northern Liao cavalry was, they could not threaten Japan. It's just that in recent years, they have been doing business with Daqi. In order to avoid the exploitation of the Guilin County Prince's Palace, most of them have been transferred through Gaoli. Although the Korean people drew less red in the middle than the Guilin County Prince's Palace, they still received a lot.
The Japanese people, who now hate second-rate dealers, have been trying to find ways to open up connections with Daqi in order to get approval to do business directly with Daqi. The most important thing is that Japan is currently experiencing a money shortage. The Japanese are good at fine carving, and their utensils have always been famous for their exquisiteness, but they are not good at mass-manufacturing products. Therefore, Japan has been using China to make money since the Tang Dynasty.
Although Japan is rich in copper, they do not have the technology or experience to cast copper coins on a large scale. The small amount of money cast locally is not only extremely cost-effective, but the amount of casting is not suitable for use at all. The Prince of Guilin, who originally controlled Da Qi's foreign trade, seemed to have a special hatred for Japan, and rarely gave copper coins to imported goods.
Most of them are barter, and the prices are extremely low. Although it is not considered a loss, the profit left to the Japanese people is almost pitiful. In particular, Japan's main export product, copper, is almost worth less than the wild vegetables that grow all over the mountains and plains. This makes Japanese people rarely feel unbalanced. Therefore, every time the tribute envoys were sent, they were always thinking about opening up direct trade channels with Daqi.
At this time, we can see the tenacity of the Japanese people. Although I have hit countless walls over the past few decades, my obsession remains unchanged. This envoy still had this idea when he came to pay tribute this time. So not only did he bring a large number of tributes, but he also brought many beauties. Japanese women were petite and exquisite, and they were very obedient to men. They were still very popular in the Daqi Dynasty.
Every time the Japanese envoys came to Daqi, they would bring a large number of Japanese women and send them to the mansions of various powerful families so that they could find ways to open doors. Of course, this time is no exception. Now I heard that this British king has this disease of being a widower. The envoy immediately decided to select the twenty most beautiful people who were good at singing and dancing and send them to the Prince of England's palace when he returned.
As for Huang Qiong, the initiator of all this, he ignored the Dali envoy who looked a little dazed after talking to him. Not to mention the dirty thoughts in the minds of Goryeo, Japan, and even the Uighur envoys. Instead, he continued step by step, toasting to the tribal leaders and other foreign envoys.
It wasn't until he reached the unruly Tuoba Jiqian that he stopped slightly. But there was no in-depth conversation, just thoughtful, after carefully looking at this guy, he toasted and left. Although he felt familiar with Tuoba Jiqian's name, he still didn't remember where he had heard it.
This Tuoba Jiqian may be regarded as a figure among the party members in Lingzhou. But his Lingzhou envoy to Tibet sounds very high-ranking, but in fact according to the official system, he is a hereditary official from the seventh rank. As the prince of the Da Qi Dynasty, Huang Qiong's ability to come to him has already given him enough face.
If Huang Qiong hadn't always felt that this person's name was familiar, but he never remembered where he had heard it. In addition, this man's unruly face was very different from his obedient clan brother, which aroused Huang Qiong's interest. Huang Qiong's toast to the leaders of the Longyou Party would be different when he went to his clan brother. stop.
For such a small official, being received by the head of the Ministry of Etiquette was considered a high regard. Prince Huang Qiong came to toast in person, but his qualifications were not enough. Even if he returns to his own tribe and becomes king, he is really not worth mentioning in the capital of Qi Dynasty where there are many high-ranking officials. The party departments that are now being torn to pieces have long lost the confidence they had in the so-called troubleshooting army back then.
Due to the conscious consumption since the founding of the Qi Dynasty, the population has almost reached the point of depletion. The party tribes, which have only regained their strength in the past ten years, have no capital to confront the imperial court. A tribe that has long lost its former glory, and can even be said to not even have the strength to rebel, is just a small-headed man from the lower branch. If there were other dignitaries in this capital, they probably wouldn't even look at him.
As for the reason why Huang Qiong stopped in front of Tuoba Jiqian, apart from the fact that his name was very familiar to Hui, it was more because of the unruly look on his face and the heroic spirit on his face. On the contrary, Huang Qiong seemed a little perfunctory towards his clan brother. When toasting, he just wiped his lips slightly and passed.
Huang Qiong finished the toast on behalf of the emperor, and the royal banquet was almost over. Although the Liang King of Northern Liao was sent back because he was drunk, it did not affect the progress of the imperial banquet. It's just that although this royal banquet is extremely luxurious, except for the leaders of the Jixizhou tribe in the southwest, most people have different ideas.
