Childbearing system: The royal family is shocked to see their offspring wither away!
Chapter 479: Opening up a Silk Road between Loulan and Zhou and Song
But...I guess I did think so.
But if you really think about it, why does Albahan have a sad expression and always looks at the Princess Chang'an opposite him?
So he thought.
After that, the banquet was over.
After the banquet, the Loulan envoys wanted to grab their little Khan and drag him to a side hall to ask him whether he wanted to go back.
Ask him what his plans are for the future.
Also, now that Loulan has been defeated, should it become a vassal state? Or form a brotherly alliance? In short, we have to discuss everything.
Afterwards, Li Haitang stopped the Loulan envoys. He frowned at the impolite actions of the Loulan envoys towards Jiang Ping'an, and said to them with a half-smile: "Everyone, please follow me."
"Let's go to the meeting room at the back, where we royal family members can gather together and have a good talk."
"Row."
The Loulan envoys nodded.
They looked at the smiling little eunuch in front of them and followed him.
When they got there, they found that the emperor, empress, queen mother, Chen Zhining, Jiang Zhao and others were all there.
Chen Zhining's children are now temporarily left in the care of Miss Luo.
Now the prince is also in this side hall.
However, Miss Luo was not in the palace, because Miss Luo's identity... was not yet the future Crown Princess, and this identity had not been exposed yet, so Miss Luo was now just a female official in the palace.
No one cares about her, so let her go first and don't listen to such royal secrets.
Afterwards, the only person nearby was the Princess of Pingnan Mansion.
Even her husband was not there.
Therefore, Chen Zhining is the only one who is not a member of the royal family but is here.
She is someone that everyone trusts very much.
After that, the Queen Mother at the top was heard saying, "Everyone, please take a seat."
"Yes."
Now, everyone sat down.
The people of Loulan also admired the filial piety of the Central Plains. It turned out that the most important person in the Central Plains was the queen mother, not the emperor.
Afterwards, the Loulan envoy said with a smile: "Your Majesty of the Great Song Dynasty is so lucky! You have such a kind mother, and the Queen Mother of the Great Song Dynasty is in good health. The Queen Mother is really enjoying the happiness of family life."
The emperor laughed, waved his hand, asked them all to sit down, and then asked Jiang Ping'an to sit in front of him.
Afterwards, the emperor spoke to the Loulan envoy in an attitude of protecting his own child.
"You guys really know how to talk."
"Uska, it's really hard for you to learn the words of the Central Plains and say the four words 'family happiness'..."
"These four words 'family happiness' must have taken a lot of effort on your part, right?"
"Yes!"
Uska said with a smile, "Everything is for Loulan!"
"If Loulan hadn't given me a second life, I would probably not have survived."
"Loulan..."
As he spoke, he began to exchange a few pleasantries with Emperor Zhou Song.
Afterwards, they began to get down to business.
The emperor said to the Loulan envoys: "This time, I will not waste my words with you. I will tell you directly what I think."
"I think that Loulan must become a vassal state of our Zhou and Song dynasties."
"Of course, your vassal state is just a title. You don't need to pay too much gold, silver, and jewelry every year. You pay tribute! Choose cattle, sheep, or wool products, or some of Loulan's specialty gems... It's all fine, as long as the value is 50,000 taels of silver per year."
Loulan is a small place, and 50,000 taels of silver is not a lot for them every year, but it is not a little either.
In short, Emperor Zhou Song felt that this was a relatively mild condition.
All we have to do is make Loulan a vassal state of Zhou and Song.
As for the 50,000 taels of silver, Zhou Song certainly has no shortage of it. The value that a county can create every year is already more than 50,000 taels of silver.
So I think this condition is still very good.
Hearing this, the Loulan envoy agreed without saying anything: "Okay."
"Okay, there is another question, which is about our little Ping An going to your Loulan to be the Khan."
As he spoke, the emperor smiled and said, "You all know Ping'an's identity! He is from our Zhou Song royal family! He is also from your Loulan royal family."
"So peace is the symbol of the friendship between the two royal families! If he makes any mistakes in Loulan, then we Zhou Song will immediately send troops to annex Loulan!!"
"!!!"
When the Loulan envoys heard this, their faces changed drastically.
Uska, headed by the Loulan envoy, said hurriedly: "This... this won't happen, this won't happen!"
"Our prince is our legitimate son, so we will naturally protect him well! The Khan will definitely not suffer any loss in Loulan."
"...As long as nothing happens to him, we'll be relieved. Otherwise, we really don't want him to go to Loulan alone."
The emperor and empress were all smiling, and it was obvious that they regarded Jiang Ping'an as their own.
Afterwards, the Queen Mother smiled and said, "This child has been growing up by my side. I think this child is very caring, just like my grandson, and there is no difference between him and my relatives."
"If he's gone, I won't live alone. I'll go down and look for my grandson!"
Hearing this, the emperor beside him laughed and hurriedly said, "Oh, mother, what are you talking about? Of course not."
"We are safe and will live a long life."
"Ping An, come and comfort the Queen Mother!"
"Hey!"
Jiang Ping'an immediately stuck close to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother rubbed Jiang Ping'an's head and was satisfied.
Afterwards, the queen said with a smile: "Dear envoys from Loulan, I know that Loulan is now in a situation of internal and external troubles, but the external troubles have now been resolved. Now the internal troubles are only the loyal ministers of the former Khan."
"I am worried... that he might have second thoughts!"
"But if they have any dissenting ideas, we are not afraid! If they do, our army will naturally help suppress them, so you don't have to worry."
"Although Ping'an is still young, he will be able to govern Loulan very well when he returns to be the Khan. We will all help him."
"We will even help deliver anything that is missing."
Chen Zhining nodded and said, "Loulan is short of food, and the staple food of the people is usually naan. Loulan is also short of water, so it is very difficult to grow plants. We can also open a trade route in the future... Let's call it the Silk Road."
