The eldest son of the red mansion

"Since your lord thinks so, please speak well in front of Emperor Dayan so that I can complete my mission."

"You rest in the hall first, and I will send someone to notify you as soon as I have news."

After finishing speaking, Fan Kang wanted to leave. Ao Denggerile was also a dexterous person, so how could he just let Fan Kang go away empty-handed.

So he hurriedly asked Fan Kang to stop for a while, and Ao Denggerile entered the inner house, and after a while, he took out a wooden box, and handed it to Fan Kang with both hands in front of the battle, saying: "A little gadget from the Western Regions." It's not a respect, Mr. Fan can take it back and let the children in the mansion play with it."

Fan Kang did not refuse. After taking the box, he smiled with satisfaction, and then left the Huitong Size Pavilion.

Ao Denggerile was relieved to see Fan Kang leave. If the Minister of Rites was greedy for the expensive gifts he gave, he suggested to Jia Ke that it would be best to marry the princess to the grassland.

You must know that sending Arslen Khan's princess to the Central Plains was a secret plan between him and Meng He, who wanted to make raw rice for cooked rice. If he really reached such an agreement this time, he still doesn't know how to tell them when he returns. Da Khan confessed.

Fan Kang left the Huitong Size Pavilion, sat in a sedan chair and sent people directly to the palace.

Then Fan Kang opened the box in his hand, and saw that the jewels inside were all diamonds, and one was even as big as a quail egg.

This box is rare even in the Central Plains, and it cannot be bought without a few 10 taels of silver.I didn't expect this ants to be so generous.

But Fan Kang didn't dare to keep it privately. Besides, Fan Kang didn't need to take risks. He now receives 10,000+ ice and carbon vehicles every year. In addition to the field clothing store he bought, the total annual income is more than 20. There is no need to hate the emperor because of this.

Fan Kang came to the Wuchao Gate in the official sedan chair, got off the sedan chair here, and walked to the front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Seeing that it was Fan Kang who had come, the eunuch in front of the Hall of Mental Cultivation didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly informed him inside, and soon there was a message from inside, asking Fan Kang to go in and see him.

Fan Kang was led by the eunuch to the Dongnuan Pavilion next to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, where Jia Ke had been working during this time.

When Jia Ke saw Fan Kang coming in, she put down the jade pen in her hand, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't the Tatars let you run in vain this time?"

As soon as Fan Kang heard Jia Ke's words, cold sweat broke out all over his body. Could it be that the words and deeds of himself and the Tatar envoy were under the surveillance of the hidden guards just now? Otherwise, how could the emperor know that the Tatars sent him away? a wooden box.

So Fan Kang didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, lifting the wooden box in his hand above his head.

"Long Live Lord, Shengming Duzhao, nothing can be hidden from your old man's eyes."

Jia Ke didn't mean to blame Fan Kang, he first asked Li Gui to take the wooden box Fan Kang handed over, and then told Fan Kang to stand up.

Li Gui took the wooden box and gently sent it to Jia Ke's court case.

Jia Ke opened the wooden box and saw that it was a box of diamonds, some of which were huge. If it was in modern times, each of these big diamonds would be worth a fortune.

After reading the wooden box, Jia Ke raised his head and asked Fan Kang, "Then what does the Tatar envoy mean by coming to us this time?"

"Long Live Lord, Arslen Khan seems to have been frightened by the Long Live Lord this time. The Tatars probably haven't regained their vitality in this period of time, so they came to ask the Long Live Lord for peace."

Jia Ke listened and nodded, this was also the same opinion he and Fan Kang had yesterday.

"Arslen Khan is indeed a hero, capable of bending and stretching. If I were in his position, I'm afraid I wouldn't be as easy to make up my mind as he is."

Fan Kang also lamented that Arslen Khan was indeed the emperor's opponent, and he could put down his face and beg for peace like the emperor.

"Then what conditions are there for them to come this time?"

"Back to Long Live, Arslen Khan's only condition this time is that he wants to marry Long Live Lord's younger sister, Princess Tanchun."

Jia Ke's face changed when he heard this. Jia Ke thought that this time the Tatars would come to ask for peace and would definitely give gifts, but he didn't expect that he wanted to marry his younger sister Jia Tanchun instead.

Although Fan Kang is resourceful, he is an ancient man after all, and his thinking has not jumped out of the circle of ancient times, so he does not think it is inappropriate for Jia Tanchun to marry a Tatar.

But Jia Ke has received modern education since he was a child. He regards marriage as a shame and a great shame, which is beyond the understanding of Fan Kang, an ancient man.

But Fan Kang didn't notice Jia Ke's dissatisfaction, and he was still chattering incessantly, if he succeeds this time, he can prepare equipment and food for Jia Ke. At that time, it was a sacred act to chase the Huns thousands of miles north.

The more Jia Ke listened, the more noisy he became. He patted on the case, "Enough is enough, don't talk anymore."

When Jia Ke got angry, Fan Kang immediately stopped talking, and only then did he look up to see Jia Ke's face was red and blue veins were popping out.

Although Fan Kang didn't know what offended Jia Ke, but as a courtier, he could only kneel down and ask Jia Ke to forgive him.

Jia Ke didn't let Fan Kang stand up this time, he stepped down from the case and came to Fan Kang, looked down at him and said, "I always thought you were a famous official in the world, but I didn't expect you to be able to do so this time." I misunderstood you, do you know how long a princess can live outside the Great Wall since ancient times? Do you know how much this princess has to suffer outside the Great Wall?"

Fan Kang who asked these few words was speechless.

Jia Ke continued to say with hatred that iron cannot be made into steel: "I, Great Yan, rule the world with courtesy and subdue the countries with the power of soldiers, but I will never stabilize the borders with women."

After hearing this, Fan Kang understood Jia Ke's meaning, and Xiu's face was flushed now.

"I made a mistake, please punish me long live."

Jia Ke sat back on the throne silently, and then said: "This time you are ignorant, so I won't punish you, and you can't mention the princess' marriage again."

Chapter 718 Rumors

Jia Ke sat on the top of the treasure hall, staring blankly into the distance, and then murmured to himself: "It is because of our marriage that our Han people have gradually become weak in bones. We don't want to fight to the death when facing external threats. , but thinking about using a woman's body in exchange for a short period of peace."

"I only heard that after the defeat, women are sent to the victors, but I have never heard that after the victory, the women are sent to the arms of the enemy. This is not to seek peace at all, but to insult the Great Yan Dynasty. .”

Fan Kang, who was kneeling below, blushed even more when he heard Jia Ke's words. At the same time, these words of Jia Ke had a huge impact on his soul.

Fan Kang has always thought about problems with the thinking of ancient people, and never thought that marriage is a shame for a nation.

It took Jia Ke a long while before she came back to her senses, and said to Fan Kang below: "Go and tell the Tatar envoy that the Celestial Dynasty of the Central Plains will never marry a princess into the wilderness. Let him die. If he really wants to seek peace, he must show his true sincerity."

Fan Kang only knew that what he had done this time was not in line with Jia Ke's wishes, so he didn't dare to refute, and knelt down and agreed repeatedly.

Jia Ke was in no mood to continue talking to Fan Kang, and told him to back down.

After Fan Kang left, Jia Ke let out a sigh of relief and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation in a depressed mood.

Li Gui, who was following Jia Ke, heard that Jia Ke was in a bad mood, so he wanted to find something to make Jia Ke happy.

So she came to Jia Ke's side and said in a low voice: "Master, we have a new batch of maids in our palace, and some of them are the most beautiful in the world. Master, why don't you go and have a look."

How could Jia Ke be in the mood to look at the beauty now, "I'm not in the mood now, let's go to Chuncao's."

As soon as Jia Ke finished giving his orders, Luanjia went straight to Yanxi Palace where Chuncao lived.

As far as the Yanxi Palace is concerned, it is not as bustling and lively as it is said on TV.

The Palace of Yanxi Palace is in the southeast corner of the East Six Palaces in the imperial palace, which can be said to be a very remote location.The group of people living here are all unfavored concubines.

However, Chuncao, the canonized concubine at the time, thought that she was humble, and she hadn't been pregnant all year round, and her color was not very beautiful. Naturally, she couldn't compare with those young, beautiful and noble women, so she asked Jia Ke for orders and lived in Yanxi Palace. .

Chuncao has been very quiet since she lived in Yanxi Palace, living her own life by herself.

And since Chuncao was the first to serve Jia Ke and Queen Mother Zhou, she still has some face in front of them.

Therefore, the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to neglect the spring grass, and all the utensils were prepared very thoughtfully.
