I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

The people in the capital celebrated with joy, and in the palace, the annual birthday celebration banquet was also ready to begin.

Naturally, the envoys from all over the world prepared more than one gift. The expensive and various congratulatory gifts had been sent to the treasury in advance, and the only thing left in their hands was the most important gift waiting to be given at the banquet.

Before the application time, preparations for the palace banquet had already begun.People from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple were busy with the etiquette of the palace banquet, and when the time came, they led the envoys and ministers from all over the world to sit down one by one.

Chu Wei's official position is not high, so he can't just have a banquet.He stayed in the mansion and listened to the commotion outside, he could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly, revealing a faint smile.

A humble gentleman is as clear as jade.Mrs. Chu looked at him in the hall, looked at him, couldn't help laughing, and said to the maid beside her, "Look, our brother Wei is getting more and more handsome."

The servant girl said: "I can't find anyone more handsome than our young master in the entire capital."

When Chu Wei walked in, he just heard this sentence, and he couldn't help saying: "Yes."

But when other people looked at him curiously, he pursed his lips and remained silent.

Madam Chu rolled her eyes at him, and suddenly remembered something, "When you were on duty yesterday, someone came to give you a gift."

Chu Wei said: "Who?"

Mrs. Chu asked someone to bring up the gift, thought for a while and said: "The man who claimed to be a person from Mingsheng Station, dressed in a strange costume, should be a servant of the Outer Court. My son, why did you have something to do with the envoy of the Outer Court? "

Chu Wei frowned slowly, and he stepped forward to take the gift from the servant, opened it, and found that it was the golden flower accessories that Xixia often had.Sure enough, disgust flashed across Chu Wei's eyes, and he threw the gift back into the servant's hand, and said coldly, "Go back."

The prince Xixia looks like a dog, but his mind is dirty. He, Chu Sheng, is the most——

Chu Wei suddenly thought of himself.

He was short of breath, ignored his mother's cry, turned and left the hall.

When he stepped out of the threshold, Chu Wei suddenly thought.

The prince of Xixia acted like this when he saw him. Wouldn't it be even more rude if he saw the sage?

Li Angshun was led by Honglu Temple officials to sit on his seat, and the rest of the Xixia envoys sat behind him.Sitting next to Xixia is the envoy of Fusang Kingdom.

The envoy of Fusang Kingdom originally wanted to say a few words to Prince Xixia, but seeing Li Angshun's ugly face, he wisely looked away and continued chatting and laughing with the officials of Honglu Temple.

Li Angshun's face turned ugly for a while, and he recovered again. He ran down the black hair under the felt hat and said, "It's okay, it's okay if you don't see Chu Wei. Today is Emperor Daheng's birthday banquet, so I don't believe it or not." Those who are willing to give me half face and the prince are not coming out today."

The Xixia envoy asked, "Seventh Prince, if Prince He appeared, what would you do?"

"Just in front of Daheng's emperor and envoys from all over the world to prevent him from stepping down," Li Angshun sneered, "to avenge my shame."

"The matter of shame, we can't be shamed."

Later, princes and ministers and envoys from various countries were seated.The palace is resplendent with gold and jade, and the lamps have been lit, as bright as the light of day.

Sitting in the front row with the prince is the most front position.

He and the prince took a look at the birthday gift he had brought. The picture of beautiful mountains and rivers embroidered by hundreds of embroiderers in the palace had been sent to the treasury. Now this thing is still in his mind. Two days ago, he went out of the mansion to find it himself. s things.

Looking at this birthday gift, Prince He couldn't help questioning himself, just as Gu Yuanbai was suspicious of him, why did he have to do his best?

The emperor didn't regard him as an elder brother, and he still rushed to put a cold face on him.

Just when he was feeling restless, the eunuch outside shouted: "The Holy Majesty is here."

A group of people stood up in the hall, their eyes lowered and hands folded, the feet of bright yellow robes embroidered with dragon patterns slipped in front of their eyes, and all the palace servants followed closely behind.After the Holy Majesty sat down, he said: "Sit down."

The voice sounded familiar, Li Angshun frowned suddenly, and he suddenly looked up at Emperor Daheng.

Gu Yuanbai had already taken off the heavy and luxurious crown robes, and put on ordinary clothes.He was talking sideways to the eunuch next to him, the distance was far away, his face was only vaguely visible, but his chin was thin and his temperament was outstanding, exactly the same as the person who coldly ordered Li Angshun in the carriage that day.

This man turned out to be the Emperor of Daheng!

Li Angshun's expression changed back and forth.

The person behind tugged at Li Angshun's robe, Li Angshun recovered and sat down with the strength.The Fusang envoy beside him smiled and said, "Why is the Seventh Prince of Xixia looking so ugly?"

Li Angshun said firmly, "It's nothing."

The eunuch at the back stepped forward to fill up the wine, and his hand holding the glass was vigorous, his expression clouded.

It turned out to be the emperor of the Daheng Dynasty!What a joke.

How could he have forgotten that the emperor of the Daheng Dynasty was not in such a good health. If he said so in the capital, who is not the emperor?

Li Angshun raised his head and looked up, his face with deep features seemed to be covered with black clouds, the emperor's face could not be seen clearly from such a long distance, but his actions were very dignified.

The artists from the teaching workshop entered the hall to sing and dance, Gu Yuanbai glanced down, and asked Prince He with a smile, "What is that on Prince He's table?"

He and the prince blocked the wooden box and put away their sleeves again.This was the first time he personally prepared a congratulatory gift for Gu Yuanbai, he was ashamed and irritable, and said sullenly: "A congratulatory gift for the Holy One."

Gu Yuanbai looked at Tian Fusheng, and Tian Fusheng reminded: "Your Majesty, what was sent to the palace with the Prince's Mansion earlier was an embroidered picture of "Splendid Mountains and Rivers Picture"."

"I have a heart with the prince," Gu Yuanbai nodded slightly, and smiled again, "I have to guess what this gift is in my hand."

He took a sip of the clear water that was used as wine, thought about the habit of giving gifts to the late emperor with the prince, and said, "Is it a rare stone and good jade?"

He replied with a deep voice to the prince, and the eunuch stepped forward to take his gift and present it, and the prince waved them away, stood up and walked to Gu Yuanbai, "I searched casually a few days ago, and I found one that looked okay." Passable stone."

Tian Fusheng opened the wooden box, and inside was a piece of jade shaped like ginseng, dark red all over, with a few strands of gold flowing in it, such a rare and beautiful thing, it is easy to make people think that it is hooked up with legends such as gods .Gu Yuanbai took it and looked at it a few times, "I like it very much."

Prince He wanted to laugh, but he insisted on keeping a straight face, and said calmly, "It's just as long as the Holy Majesty likes it."

He and the prince took the lead, and everyone took turns to present their congratulatory gifts.This gift is all about intention and novelty, and there are really a few rare things that Gu Yuanbai likes very much.

All the officials are in front, and the envoys of various countries are behind.After seeing Daheng sending troops to the north, many of these envoys secretly increased their congratulatory gifts. At this time, they were both surprised and fortunate to see the things presented by envoys from other countries. least people.

Looking at this scene, the Xixia people's expression is not very good.

The Xixia envoys came to Daheng this time to celebrate the birthday of Emperor Daheng, and to inquire about the current situation of Daheng.The third is that Xixia wanted something from Daheng, so they sent the Seventh Prince and prepared generous gifts, just to have a discussion with Emperor Daheng.

The market is what the two countries called when they traded on the border. The Xixia country is small, lacks resources, and cannot be self-sufficient. Many things have to rely on the mutual market in the market. But two months before Li Angshun came to Daheng, Daheng The discussion with Xixia suddenly stopped.

Xixia was caught off guard.

Daheng has few horses, and has been relying on Xixia to earn money from horses. Logically speaking, Daheng unilaterally closed down the market so forcefully, so it is not afraid of stalemate with Xixia, and there is no stable source of horses?

This time Xixia sent the Seventh Prince to Daheng for exactly this matter.But Li Angshun insisted that Ma Yuan and Daheng's domestic salt dealers could not do without Xixia Qingyan, so he was full of confidence and acted quite arrogantly.

This domineering, domineering to the emperor's head.

Originally thought that these generous gifts were enough to make amends, but now they looked at the generous gifts of the country in front of them, they just felt puzzled and absurd.

Is it possible that all the envoys from the outer dynasty asked Daheng for something?

Xixia's gift was originally very generous, but now it is completely submerged in the comparison, and it is not brilliant at all.

When it was Xixia's turn to present gifts, the Xixia envoy behind him was holding a heavy gift and wanted to pass it to the eunuch at the side. Li Angshun got up suddenly, took the gift and strode forward, the eyes of the palace focused on him, Li Angshun As we got closer and closer, we could finally see the appearance of Emperor Daheng clearly.

Emperor Daheng noticed him, glanced lightly, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Li Angshun's footsteps stopped, and after a moment, he strode forward again.When he walked in front of Gu Yuanbai, before he could speak, the eunuch who followed him respectfully said: "My lord, this is the envoy from Xixia, Li Angshun, the Seventh Prince of Xixia Kingdom."

"I have some impressions," Gu Yuanbai said with a half-smile, "The prince of Xixia is very rebellious."

Emperor Daheng obviously didn't say anything, but it seemed as if he had already mocked the person, Li Ang said in a heartfelt way, he couldn't be wrong, the tone was the same as that of the person in the car that day.

He bowed to Gu Yuanbai according to Xixia etiquette, and said with an apologetic smile: "People without knowledge will always use bluffs to hide their uneasiness. The Daheng Dynasty has a vast land, rich resources, outstanding people, and when I first came to Daheng, You were blinded by the prosperity of Daheng, and you were cowardly in your heart, so you did something wrong. If you despise Xixia because of our actions, then we really do not regret to die."

Gu Yuanbai raised his hand lightly, motioning for him to get up, "He can talk."

Li Angshun straightened up, and saw the handsome face of Emperor Daheng again.Li Angshun likes handsome people, not to mention other things, just talking about looks, Emperor Daheng has a face that makes people unable to resent him.

"The gift from Xixia, I saw it, it is very heavy," Gu Yuanbai said in a slow tone, "From spices to felt blankets, from camels to horses, this is a great effort."

Li Angshun smiled, and the golden flowers on the clothes glistened. He has a good appearance, and his facial features are as deep as an eagle, but the arrogance in his eyes really spoils his good feelings and ruins such a good appearance. Work hard."

He handed the gift in his hand to the eunuch, and the eunuch stepped forward and handed it to Tian Fusheng.

As soon as the exquisite wooden box was opened, there was faint fluorescence inside. Tian Fusheng put the wooden box in front of Gu Yuanbai's eyes, and it turned out that the inside was a nearly spherical, beautifully colored, translucent night pearl.

What's even more rare is that even under the candlelight in the palace, which is as bright as day, the luminous pearl actively emits a beautiful fluorescent color, yellow and green with blue light, like a treasure in the deep sea.

Li Angshun's expression was faintly arrogant, even though the Daheng imperial family had many luminous pearls, this one was definitely the best among them.

"Good things," Gu Yuanbai sighed as expected, "I never thought Xixia would have such good things."

Li Angshun didn't realize the danger in the Lord of Daheng's words, he smiled complacently, and said loudly: "Although I am not as good as Daheng in Xixia, the good things are like the crucian carp crossing the river, countless!"

Gu Yuanbai took the Ye Mingzhu in the wooden box into his hands, the tentacles were round and full, and he could just hold it with one hand.He played with this night pearl, the faint fluorescence showed a deep blue in his eyes.

"very nice."

Xixia, what a great place.

Green salt, camels, horses, sheep, beeswax, musk navel, fur brown, Yuan antelope horns... such a good place, such a good night pearl, Xixia really made Gu Yuanbai very fond of it.

The Holy Majesty was very moved, he asked Tian Fusheng to put the Ye Mingzhu back on, and looked at Li Angshun gently with a smile, as if he was looking at a gold mine, this kind of gaze made Li Angshun's handsome face hot.

Such a good place should be in his hands and become a part of Daheng, that's right.
