After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

"My young prince, the Emperor of Kyoto will host a banquet for you today. You must remember clearly what I have to say. The purpose of our visit this time..." the attendant asked.

"I got it, no need to nag anymore." Shu Rong glanced at the attendant beside him impatiently and said.

This attendant, who looks to be about fifty years old, is named Zong'e. He is said to be an attendant, but he is actually one of his father's strategists. His father is afraid that Shu Rong is too young to be able to stand alone against these scheming people in Kyoto. He was a person who specially arranged for him to be with him to give him advice. So this time it was Shu Rong who came here in name, but in fact it was him who was controlling the current situation behind the scenes.

"Young prince." Shu Rong's personal bodyguard came in and had something to report.

"How's it going? Have you heard about it?" Shu Rong asked eagerly.

"Currently, not yet." The guard shook his head and said.

"Is the young prince looking for someone?" Zong E looked at Shu Rong in confusion and asked.

"No, no." Shu Rong stuttered.

"Young prince, you don't have to hide it from your subordinates. I know what you are thinking. I have noticed that you have been distracted since you came back from the mountain yesterday. Young prince, I advise you to get down to business." Zong E said calmly.

"I know. I have remembered what you said. You can go down first." Shu Rong hurriedly asked Zong E to step back.

He turned around and said to his personal guard: "Aren't you looking nearby? Are you asking from door to door?" Shu Rong looked at the guard anxiously.

"Young prince, how do you ask this? You said that we have a bunch of soldiers. When they see us, they don't have time to hide. How can they dare to come forward? We have to wander on the street to look for them. We can only bump into them in the year of the monkey. After all, this is not our Xuanzhe." Guards He complained with a look on his face.

"You can't handle such a small thing. I have raised you a bunch of losers." Shu Rong put his hands behind his back and faced the door, scolding the guards beside him.

"You guys go down, I'll think about it myself." Shu Rong said again.

"Your Majesty, what's going on tonight?" Shangguan Qing asked.

"Yes, Qing'er doesn't have to wait for me to have dinner tonight. The emperor is hosting a banquet for all the ministers to attend today," Mei Xichen said.

"Your Majesty is hosting another banquet for no reason?" Shangguan Qing asked in confusion.

"Qing'er doesn't know that the banquet hosted by the emperor for the young prince Xuanzhe is actually for negotiation." Mei Xichen continued to answer.

"Oh, I can't ask more about your affairs in court. I don't want to know anyway." Shangguan Qing said with a smile.

"You, you should take good care of your body. You see you have lost weight these days." Mei Xichen said with great distress.

"Your Majesty, the sedan is ready and ready to go." Xu Mo's arrival interrupted the conversation between the two.

"Okay, let's go." Mei Xichen said and walked towards the door.

Arriving at the main hall in the blink of an eye, the last time a banquet was held was when Shangguan Qing was poisoned, so Mei Xichen hated going to the banquet, but there was no other way to escape.

"The young prince Shu Rong of Xuanzhe Kingdom has arrived." The father-in-law outside the door shouted loudly.

I saw a handsome, dashing young man wearing a white floral robe walking in majestically, followed by Zong E and his personal bodyguards. When Mei Xichen saw him for the first time, she felt that he looked very much like her. Maybe a hero cherishes a hero, and she had a very high impression of him. But his position is different from mine, otherwise it could really rise to the level of sworn brotherhood.

"My young prince, please sit down." The emperor spoke first.

"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for hosting a banquet today. It's a great honor for me." After finishing speaking, Shu Rong raised a glass of wine and stood up to toast everyone present.

"Okay, no one is welcome today, let's have a toast." The emperor said.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Eunuch Wei seemed to be saying something to the emperor.

I saw the emperor nodded and said: "Little prince, I have discussed with all the ministers about the border matter you mentioned yesterday. Do you think this will work? First of all, the people around the border, no matter where they are, Neither side wants a raging war, so war cannot solve the fundamental problem."

"Secondly, if the king feels that our country still needs to make some concessions in terms of dividends, then fine, I will promise you now that we can double the original basis. What do you think?"

Shu Rong looked at Zong E and gave him a wink, which means I think this condition is acceptable. Does your father mean to agree or not? Can it meet expectations?

Although Zong E felt it was feasible at this time, he couldn't show joy.

The emperor saw that Shu Rong didn't answer, and then asked again.

"I wonder how old the young prince is this year? Is he married?"

"No marriage." Zong E said first.

Shu Rong thought to himself, when I looked at you just now you were indifferent, but now you answered quite quickly.

But Shu Rong was still young after all, so how could he know what Zong E was thinking.

"Since the young prince is not married, it would be great. Our two countries can get married. At the same time, I can also give Xuanzhe the large grassland in the Liren area near the border as a dowry. What do you think, young prince? "

Zong E was immediately moved after hearing this. Thinking about it, although the trade border between the two countries was not taken back, the dividends were at least doubled. The prairie in the remote area was of no use to Kyoto, but it was of no use to Xuanzhe. It is indispensable for a country that mainly focuses on grazing.

And in terms of topography, the area of ​​​​this territory is not small, which is very suitable. If it can promote intermarriage between the two countries, it can at least ensure peace between the two countries. Why not? This is much better than the conditions proposed by Prince Kang. Even for the sake of profit, we cannot completely go against Kyoto.

Zong E looked at the young prince and nodded.

Shu Rong understood what Zong E meant.

"Thank you His Majesty the Emperor for your kindness. I think your suggestions are very good. I also hope that our two countries can become friendly neighbors and continue to be friendly from generation to generation. I can agree to the conditions set by His Majesty the Emperor. But I have a request. "Sa Rong stood up and looked at the emperor and everyone.

"My dear prince, please tell me what your request is?" the emperor asked.

"Our country's customs and marriage matters do not need to be restricted by the orders of parents or the words of matchmakers." Shu Rong added.

"Then the young prince means that he wants to marry a Kyoto woman of his choice?" the emperor asked in surprise.

"Yes, as long as the conditions previously agreed to by the emperor are fulfilled, can I choose the woman I like as my wife?" Shu Rong said with a smile on his face.

"Ah, this... yes, yes, there's nothing wrong with this, as long as the young prince likes it. Hahahaha" the emperor said with a smile.

"Then let's do this. Eunuch Wei, please draw up my decree. All the unmarried children of officials above the fourth rank in Kyoto City will participate. Those who violate the rules will be punished by being sent to the army or executed."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will make arrangements right now." Eunuch Wei quickly replied.

Shu Rong smiled. He felt that the luxuriously dressed woman he saw that day must be from a noble family and must be in this category. He only needed to screen her one by one.
