The foreign envoys did not leave after attending Xiao Heng's enthronement ceremony. They stayed in Dawei to discuss business with the Ministry of Rites. They were all very interested in the business of the Hexi Corridor and the Ancient Tea-Horse Road.

Silk is a rare treasure for people from various countries in the Western Regions, and they value it very much.Their kings and nobles all wore Wei's silk fabrics, and they attached great importance to trade with Wei.

The ancient tea-horse road in Yunnan is also extremely important. The caravans carried tea and silk into Tubo, and then sold them to Persia, Dashi, Tianzhu and other countries.

The small country near the sea in the south also wanted a share of the pie, and refused to leave after it came, and wanted to discuss with Wei about relying on maritime trade.

The envoys stayed in the capital for several days. These envoys included Yuezhi envoys, Dashi envoys, Xiongnu envoys, Persian envoys, Tianzhu envoys, Funan envoys, Raksha envoys and so on.

Now that the envoys have finished negotiating with the Ministry of Rites, they are about to leave Beijing and return to other countries.The Empress Dowager was too busy correcting the memorials, so she asked Xiao Heng to lead the grand master, prime minister, minister of rites and other important court officials to preside over the palace banquet and see the envoys off.

Eunuch Liu shouted: "The emperor is here!"

The envoys and courtiers attended immediately, knelt down and bowed their heads, waiting for the emperor to take his seat.

Xiao Heng swaggered into the Hall of Renming with his head raised, and sat down beside the golden dragon banquet.He said: "Everyone who loves you is free of courtesy!"

The important ministers and envoys all stood up, retreated to their seats and sat down.

Xiao Heng wanted to laugh when he saw the appearance of the envoys from various countries. He felt that each of these envoys had strange shapes and strange clothes.

For example, some envoys look like a piece of coke, and their hair looks like burnt.Some are white, with blue eyes and yellow hair, like nightshades.

The envoys from Tianzhu wore silk cloth all over their heads, while the envoys from Funan showed their thick and powerful thighs and arms.

Xiao Heng thought about what the Empress Dowager taught him, and he said: "It is a great honor for me to be able to do business with other countries. I have a chat to express my heart, and I will see off all the envoys today. Eunuch Liu bestows imperial wine and imperial meals."

A court lady brought a golden dragon plate with yellow noodles and put it on the golden dragon banquet where Xiao Heng was. She also brought 36 kinds of cold, hot and group meals, [-] kinds of meat dishes, and [-] kinds of fruits.

The maids brought purple dishes and placed them on the desks of the envoys.

The maid brought out the dishes from the food box, including 32 items of cold, hot, and group meals, [-] items of meat dishes, and [-] items of fruits.

The maid stood aside holding a wine jug, pouring wine into the envoy's cup.These wines include Jiudan Jinye, Tangshi Yulianmai, Dongpo Luofuchun and other imperial wines.

These are the highest standards of court wine and dishes for the Wei Dynasty to entertain envoys.The queen mother personally ordered the imperial dining room to prepare it.

The envoys next to the case under the steps chatted with the interpreter.Xiao Heng couldn't understand those languages, so he asked the female translator to translate for him.

The female interpreter said to Xiao Heng: "Report to the emperor, and the envoys praised the emperor for being young and promising."

Xiao Heng said happily: "Please use the imperial meal."

All the envoys sat down and had a banquet.After eating, Xiao Heng asked the dancer to come and cheer, and after the dance, the banquet was withdrawn.

The envoys of various countries completed the last item and handed in the customs clearance form to the emperor.

Xiao Heng saw a bald envoy next to the carved golden dragon pillar at the bottom of the steps. He had a braid, a high nose bridge, and deep eye sockets. He was an envoy of the Huns.

Xiao Heng gave him a disgusted look. He thought the Huns were disgusting.

After the envoys finished handing in the customs clearance form, Eunuch Liu handed over the official document to Xiao Heng.Xiao Heng put it away and prepared to show it to the Queen Mother.

Suddenly, a letter fell out of these customs clearance forms, and it was written that the emperor of Wei personally signed it. Xiao Heng tore open the envelope and opened it to read.

The letter reads: Your Majesty's beauty, I, King Zuo Xian, have become Shan Yu of the Huns, and will soon be in charge of the Central Plains.Although the emperor has a strong temper and is extremely cruel to me, but I somehow fell in love with him at first sight.Even if you kill me with a knife, I will be willing to do so. No beauty can fall into my eyes anymore.I miss the emperor hungrily, with rosy lips, tight waist, and bright eyes.When I unify the Xiongnu and the Great Wei, I will definitely call the emperor my queen, and call the emperor the mother of the world.

After reading the letter, Xiao Heng was so angry that his face was as red as fire. He threw the letter on the ground and stepped on it a few times.He said: "This Hun dog is too arrogant. If you dare to write such a letter to me, the Hun envoys will get out!"

The atmosphere in Renming Hall changed suddenly, and the envoys didn't know what happened.The grand master and the prime minister couldn't bear it any longer, they all knelt down and begged Xiao Heng to put the overall situation first.

The female interpreter of the Huns envoys, please come to the center of the hall.

Xiao Heng pointed at him and cursed: "The Huns have been harassing the Central Plains and oppressing the people of the Central Plains for hundreds of years. Let the Huns pay ten times the price!"

The female interpreter translated Xiao Heng's words to the envoys of the Huns.Unexpectedly, the envoy of the Huns grinned indifferently after hearing this. It turned out that after reading the letter, he felt that his Chanyu was very great, and he thought that the handsome Wei Emperor should be Shanyu's male favourite.

Xiao Heng became even angrier when he saw it, and continued to curse: "You Hun dog, it's really hateful, you're still laughing, what the hell are you laughing, I dare not hit you? Laugh at your mother!"

The envoys of the Huns stopped listening to the interpreter, and quarreled with Xiao Hengji and Duck for a long time.With a mocking expression on his face, he laughed at Xiao Heng while talking.

The envoys of the Huns meant that what the Great Khan said was right, so they asked Xiao Heng to quickly take off his pants and go to the Huns to be the queen to serve the Great Khan.What he said made the interpreter's face turn red and white, and she didn't know how to translate.

Many envoys could understand Wei's language, and they stretched their necks to watch the excitement, and burst out laughing at Xiao Heng's embarrassment.

The prime minister looked at the letter on the ground, he knew that this letter that angered the emperor was definitely not a good letter.He walked up to Xiao Heng, picked it up while Xiao Heng wasn't paying attention, and took a look. It didn't matter, and he was also in a hurry.

The old prime minister stepped forward, blushing, and roared: "The Xiongnu Shanyu is ashamed of being a Shanyu, he doesn't know benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and dares to insult the emperor and our dynasty!"

The Huns envoy heard the prime minister's meaning, and he spoke the Huns nonchalantly.

The female interpreter had no choice but to bite the bullet and translate: "Shan Yu is right, the Emperor of Great Wei was Shan Yu's male favourite."

After she finished speaking, she regretted so much, she hurriedly knelt on the ground, seeing the emperor's face getting worse and worse, she began to tremble all over.

When the envoys of various countries heard this, they burst into laughter and whispered among themselves.

The prime minister and others were so angry that veins popped up on their foreheads, their lips and beards trembled.

Xiao Heng's patience reached the limit. He jumped off the dragon chair and rushed to the Huns. Today he was wearing a purple dragon robe with nine dragon patterns, which was extremely light.

He attacked the Huns' envoys with his grasping hands, and the Huns' envoys were strong and powerful.The two of them fought back and forth, and Xiao Heng was exhausted due to alcoholism for many days, so he fell to the bottom.

There was chaos in the Hall of Renming, Eunuch Liu ran out to call for the imperial army, the palace ladies and eunuchs huddled together shivering, and the envoys hid on both sides of the steps to watch the excitement.

Xiao Heng kicked at the Huns, but missed, and was swept by the Huns, and fell to the ground with a stump.I fell and screamed.

The Xiongnu envoy took back his legs proudly. He thought that since the founding of the Wei Dynasty, he had always adopted a policy of appeasement towards the Xiongnu, treating the Xiongnu like a boss who could be played with.I am an envoy of the Huns, and the Emperor Wei dared not do anything.

Xiao Heng woke up from the fall and shouted angrily: "Xiongnu dog, if I don't beat you to death today, my surname is not Xiao, not the emperor!"

He straightened up like a carp, stood up and rushed towards the Huns.The Huns raised their palms and hit Xiao Heng in the chest.

Xiao Heng turned around sharply, and took the opportunity to grab the Huns by the collar. With all his strength, he dragged the Huns, who was twice his size, to the ground.

The Hun fell on his back, his bald head hit the edge of the desk with a bang, his head was bloody from the fall, and he passed out immediately.

Xiao Heng was very excited when he saw the blood. He licked the blood of the Huns, grabbed the iron golden dragon dish candlestick and smashed it down on the Huns' bald head.After smashing it a dozen times, the Hun let out a few screams, and soon his white brains burst out.

The Huns died horribly, rolling their eyes, sticking out their tongues, their skulls were shattered, and blood dripped all over the Hall of Renming.

Xiao Heng's dragon robe and face were spattered with blood, and his hair was disheveled, hanging in front of his eyes.He slammed the candlestick to the ground, turned and returned to the throne.

There was complete silence in the Hall of Renming, and everyone frightened the emperor, and no one dared to say a word.

When the Imperial Forest Army rushed in, the Huns' envoys were already dead.

The prime minister and the grand master hurriedly commanded the imperial forest army to carry the corpses of the Huns envoys out of the hall.Tell all the envoys to go back to the post.

Xiao Heng sat on the throne, his hands trembling, and he swore that in the future the Xiongnu would get out of their territory and wipe them out.

Prime Minister: "Your Majesty, you are too impulsive. The Hun envoy is indeed too much, but you..."

Xiao Heng glanced, he tried his best to restrain himself, and used elegant words: "Why, is it wrong to kill? I know how the Huns have bullied the Central Plains people for hundreds of years. They robbed the people of food, horses, and women. A child. A princess in the Central Plains wants to marry the Xiongnu far away, and serve as the humble maidservant of the Xiongnu Shanyu. My aunt suffered in the bitter cold of the Xiongnu.

You have also seen how that Shan Yu, who is not as good as a pig and a dog, insulted me in the letter. He not only insulted me, but this Hun envoy dared to continue insulting me in front of foreign envoys. Be patient, I will drive the Xiongnu out of the desert in the future, exterminate their clan, and kill them all! "

The important ministers called his words aroused heat in their hearts.The Great Wei had always adopted the strategy of being kind and patient towards the Xiongnu. They did not expect the fatuous emperor to say such earth-shattering words.

The grand master persuaded: "We also hate the Huns, but your majesty, if you killed the envoys of the Huns, I am afraid that the Huns will use this as an excuse to send troops to the Great Wei."

Xiao Heng was right when he thought about it, he said: "Fuck it! Then sacrifice my reputation and tell the world this letter."

Prime Minister: "Yes, Your Majesty, there is one more matter, which may be difficult to explain to the Queen Mother."

Xiao Heng sighed, sat down from the dragon chair, and said, "I will personally apologize."

Xiao Heng asked Eunuch Liu to support him, and walked to Qianqing Palace together with the prime minister and grand master.

When she arrived at the Qianqing Palace, the Empress Dowager was sitting on the dragon chair and correcting the memorials under the lamp.Xiao Heng knelt down directly, and he said, "Queen Mother, I have caused a catastrophe!"

The queen mother looked up and saw that Xiao Heng's body was covered with blood. She hurriedly asked: "I asked the emperor to see the envoys off. Why are you covered in blood?"

The prime minister presented the letter written by Zuo Xianwang to Xiao Heng, and the queen mother was furious after reading the letter: "This Hun Khan is really shameless, he is insulting our court!"

Xiao Heng: "Mother, I was so angry that I personally killed the envoys of the Huns."

When the Queen Mother heard this, she threw down the writing brush and the memorial, and was so angry that she didn't know what to do. Then she calmed down and comforted herself that the more ineffective the emperor, the better for herself.

The queen mother snorted coldly: "Then the only thing to do is sacrifice the emperor's reputation. If the Xiongnu sent troops to Wei in the name of killing the envoys of the emperor, the Ai family can only announce the letter to the world. You will apologize in person in front of the ministers tomorrow."

Xiao Heng hurriedly said, "Everything is up to the queen mother."

The queen mother asked the prime minister and the grand master to go back first. After they left, the queen mother said: "Did the Ai family give birth to you as the wrong gender? Why do they all covet you?"

Xiao Heng stood up: "Whoever says that the queen mother is beautiful, she gave birth to me and my sister are beautiful."

The queen mother became happy when she heard this: "The emperor is more and more able to make Ai's family happy."

Xiao Heng: "Mother, I want to see Zhao Yuanjian. Look..."

The queen mother put on a serious face: "No meeting! As long as you see him, the Ai family will kill him. Eunuch Liu will send the emperor back to the palace!"

Xiao Heng returned to Changchun Palace annoyed, he didn't think about food and drink, he felt that he couldn't wait for a moment.

Xiao Heng Hunjun's name became even more resounding. He was fierce and ruthless, and dared to kill foreign envoys with his own hands.For a while, the ministers of the DPRK and China did not dare to provoke him any more.

A month later, Zhao Yuanjian had almost recovered from the knife wound. He asked to meet the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother agreed.

When he saw the Queen Mother, he knelt down: "Auntie Queen Mother!"

Queen Mother: "Get up, nephew, you have done a good job in escorting, I am very satisfied with you."

Zhao Yuanjian didn't dare to stand up, he said: "I beg the queen mother to forgive the personal relationship between the minister and the emperor."

Empress Dowager: "Hmph, thinking of this, Ai's family gets angry. The emperor has seven moles on his body. It's not like you don't know about it, but you actually concealed it from Ai's family. You even abducted the emperor into bed. You are so daring!"

Zhao Yuanjian: "Empress Dowager, at that time Zhao Shengqi persecuted the minister, and the minister had no choice. The minister's mother was forced to commit suicide because of this incident, and only then did the nephew's life be saved."

When the queen mother heard it, her face changed greatly: "There is such a thing?"

Zhao Yuanjian: "It was my father who forced my ministers to develop a relationship with the emperor. The ministers and the emperor lived together day and night in Xunlu Academy, never leaving each other. We slept in the same room, and the emperor slept in the side room, which was blocked by a curtain. Boys are full of blood." Fang Gang, it's hard for nothing to happen."

The queen mother sneered: "This Zhao Shengqi is really ridiculous! But no matter how good your relationship with the emperor is, it must be broken. The candidate for the queen will be decided soon, and he will marry the daughter of the Minister of Rites as the queen."

Zhao Yuanjian stood up, and he said: "I beg the queen mother not to ask the emperor to marry the queen for the time being. I want to have a better relationship with the emperor for a while."

The queen mother laughed at him: "It's not that Aijia is cruel, you and the emperor are on good terms, what will you do when you ask the emperor to behave in the future?"

Zhao Yuanjian hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, I know that you lack someone who dares to stand up to Zhao Shengqi. All the ministers, the Xiao family, and the Zhao family are all afraid of Zhao Shengqi, and none of them dare to stand up to him. Then let me come Pick up the load."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her tight eyebrows relaxed, and she asked: "What are your plans, let me tell you."

Zhao Yuanjian: "Zhao Shengqi has many cronies, including many ministers and Zhao family members. If the minister becomes a vassal and has military power and his own territory, then I will kill Zhao Shengqi, and his cronies will see that I have military power. Don't dare to make mistakes, dare not resist the Queen Mother.

The minister has military power and will not betray the queen mother, because I love the emperor, I don't want him to take power, and I don't want to share any woman with the emperor except the queen.And now the Xiongnu Shanyu is eyeing me, and wants to aspire to the Central Plains, and I will resist the Huns for you and the emperor. "

The Queen Mother was very happy to hear this, but she didn't know if this nephew was reliable, she wanted to wait until Zhao Yuanjian killed Zhao Shengqi before talking about it.

She asked, "Where do you want to be the prince?"

Zhao Yuanjian: "In the old place, the minister served as the governor of the province. There is a reason for my choice. If the Huns take action against Wei in the future, the northern defense line will be tight, and the northern army will basically have to Moved to the border, the guarding army around the queen mother was greatly reduced.

The Nanfang army must strictly guard the south to prevent the small southern countries from causing chaos, and they are not very obedient to the court. I am afraid that the Queen Mother may not be able to mobilize the southern army.

I have been an official in the south for three years, and I have established a foundation. The generals and civil servants under my hand are all obedient to my minister.If I become a vassal, they will be more obedient and follow me to mobilize the army.

I am afraid that Zhao Shengqi will take advantage of the war between the Xiongnu and the Great Wei to initiate a palace coup. As long as he initiates a palace coup, I will immediately mobilize the southern army to the capital to protect the Queen Mother. "

The queen mother said: "You will go to court tomorrow, and the Ai family will seal you as the king of the Southwest. You will be in charge of Yunnan, Baiyue, Jiangnan, and Xishu. Tomorrow night, you will go to Changchun Palace to stay overnight and eat and live with the emperor until You leave the capital. But you don't want anyone to know about it. You must find a way to kill Zhao Shengqi as soon as possible!"

Zhao Yuanjian was overjoyed, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you Queen Mother for fulfilling everything!"

Zhao Yuanjian was very happy. He could share the same bed with Xiao Heng tomorrow. If he became the vassal king and overthrew the rule of the queen mother, the chance of success would be even greater.
