I Rely on Beauty to Stabilize the Country

The Holy One is also a good means.

Xue Yuan wanted to love Gu Yuanbai as his sweetheart, and there was nothing wrong with it, but Gu Yuanbai didn't have the temperament to obediently be loved by another man with such a strong sense of aggression.Xue Yuan's toughness just aroused the nerves under Gu Yuanbai's gentle face full of desire to win and conquer. He directly told Xue Yuan with his actions that I don't need your love here, but you It looks like my favorite is indispensable.

When Gu Yuanbai saw the blood on the bed, his heart really softened for a moment.

There is no way to deny it, the facts are in front of us.

This soft-heartedness does not mean that it must be emotionally colored, and it does not mean that Gu Yuanbai is attracted to Xue Yuan, but seeing the blood stains, he thought of what Xue Yuan said, and thought of the good night's sleep last night.So suddenly, it passed away quickly.

Gu Yuanbai didn't even understand the source of his soft-heartedness.

Poor Xue Jiuyao?He doesn't need to be pitiful.

Gu Yuanbai didn't know, but he was not in a hurry to know.

He just thought about it, then changed his mind, and turned to wonder whether Xue Yuan regarded him as a woman.

The attitude towards him, the warm emotion, is it because of Gu Yuanbai's masculine and feminine face.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuanbai sneered.

No matter how beautiful he is, no matter how good-looking he is, no matter how weak his body is, if Xue Yuan really doesn't regard him as a man, then Gu Yuanbai will chop him into a pulp.

Carrier pigeons have been used for military purposes as early as the Han Dynasty.In Daheng's post stations, border gates, government offices, inns, capitals, and important towns, there are carrier pigeon troops dedicated to delivering messages. ①

These pigeons have been specially bred to be very homely and are very sensitive to the Earth's magnetic field.But when locusts were raging in the north, using carrier pigeons to send messages would only make hungry people or birds of prey treat it as a meal, so General Xue gave up the method of using carrier pigeons to send messages, and the disadvantages were also obvious.

However, on the way from the capital to the post station, using carrier pigeons is much faster than speeding up horses.

While Xue Yuan was still rushing on the road, the Holy Majesty's will was transmitted from one station to the next, one by one without interruption.

Financial resources, material resources, everything that makes people willingly surrender, are vividly displayed in Gu Yuanbai's body.

The most important thing is that he doesn't care about these things, he has enough confidence to give anyone special treatment, a pile of majestic and majestic things can be smashed down, and the gods can be knocked out.

Xue Yuan was not knocked out by these things, but he was knocked out by the domineering behind them.

All the way dizzy, drunk general delirious.The Holy One has a good plan, so Xue Yuan's heart is completely relieved, and he is willing to become the "delicate concubine" who is cared for by the emperor Wanli.

That's it, it's over.Ever since Gu Yuanbai said the phrase "I can't bear the pain" in the cave, Xue Yuan wrapped the chain around himself, and then desperately wanted to send the chain to Gu Yuanbai's hands.

Thinking of him, I feel like I am in a volcano, my emotions are like magma, and I am always being roasted hot and excited.

Xue Yuan was driving the horse, and he wanted to laugh when he thought of Gu Yuanbai.As long as it is confirmed that Gu Yuanbai did not accept the concubine, he will be in a good mood, and he will want to sing loudly when he travels through the mountains and dense forests.Occasionally brushing the horse's mane with the palm of my hand, I only felt an itchy feeling as if brushing the holy majesty's chest.

Whenever this happens, my thoughts will be interrupted, and my nose will start to itch.

Such a powerful holy majesty, that place is also a fan.

cute.

Gu Yuanbai never knew that Xue Yuan dared to call him cute in his heart.

He brought people back to the palace, sent Chu Wei to the gate of Chu Mansion, and asked implicitly: "I heard that Chu Qing has gotten closer to the Xixia envoy recently?"

Chu Wei didn't dare to look at the Holy Majesty, but when he heard the words, he raised his head suddenly, his face was frosty, and the eyes and eyebrows were covered with haze.

In Gu Yuanbai's eyes, he has always looked like a dignified gentleman, a modest white jade, with the elegant and dignified appearance of a gentleman of the era.Looking beautiful, capable, and arrogant.

But this was the first time Gu Yuanbai saw Chu Wei's expression.Even when he was tied to the dragon bed, Chu Wei at least looked calm.

Gu Yuanbai thought to himself, with such an expression, he really hated the Xixia prince to the extreme.

There was an undercurrent in Chu Wei's eyes, but he calmed down instead.His eyes were unbiased, and he looked straight at the sage: "The sage has learned that the ministers and the Xixia envoys are on the contrary discord and hate each other."

"I know what kind of person you are," Gu Yuanbai comforted, "It's been a hard time for Chu Qing these days, tomorrow I will summon the Xixia envoy, Chu Qing has had several contacts with the Xixia envoy in recent days, let's come together tomorrow .”

Chu Wei responded respectfully: "I obey the order."

On the second day, Xuanzheng Hall.

All the ministers stood on both sides, and the eunuch announced that the Xixia envoys had entered the palace.

The prince of Xixia led his envoys into the palace with their heads bowed to salute. Gu Yuanbai sat in a high position and watched them.The more than ten days of etiquette learning is still useful, at least for now, the movements are very well-behaved, and there is nothing wrong with it.

After the salute, the prince of Xixia said: "Foreign minister Li Angshun, together with the envoys of Xixia, visited the Holy One, and prayed to the Holy One for Wanfu Jinan."

All the important ministers looked at them with smiles, most of them accepted Xi Xia's gifts more or less.When the Xixia envoy saw them, his face twitched, and he was already cursing these old guys in his heart.

How can you accept a gift from someone without asking what the gift is for? The Xixia envoys have really seen through the hypocrisy of these Daheng officials these days.

Don't they all say that Daheng is a country of etiquette, and everyone regards humility as beauty?When the Xixia envoys gave these people gifts, they were embarrassed to speak directly. As a result, these people really accepted the gifts, but once they received the gifts, they pretended not to understand the hints in the Xixia envoy's words. I understand, the Xixia envoys gave gifts again and again in vain.

The anxiety of these days and the inability to further defeat made the arrogance on the Xixia envoy's face long gone, replaced by the tension and haggard left after many obstacles.

It can be seen that he was tortured miserably.

However, His Majesty the Emperor of Daheng is also a master of evil tastes.Gu Yuanbai leaned over and asked with concern: "Why is the face of the Xixia envoy so dyed like vegetables?"

The ridicule in these words could not be hidden, Prince Xixia pulled his face, but when he looked up at the Holy One, the anger in his heart was suppressed again, and he just said in a deep voice: "It should be because the climate is not acclimatized, and I can't sleep well. A little bit."

Gu Yuanbai smiled slightly, turned the jade wrench finger in his hand, and after a few words of politeness with him, he asked the Minister of the Household Department to come forward and talk to him about the dispute between the two countries.

Today's Xixia is still inseparable from Daheng's resources. Xixia's green salt has always been the main source of domestic private salt because it is cheaper than official salt.

The green salt alone has brought huge profits to Xixia.Xixia is not afraid of Gu Yuanbai’s drastic ban on salt, because as long as the people have a choice, they will buy cheaper private salt, and there will be supply and demand if there is a market. If Gu Yuanbai bans it forcefully, it will backfire.But Xixia was afraid that Gu Yuanbai would intervene to give him a way out, and then toss half of it to death. Such a method would cause Xixia's Qingyan to encounter great ups and downs.

Relying on the confidence of his own country, Shangshu Hubu showed the air of a big country, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he increased the interests of the market by [-]% on the previous conditions, and then waited for Xixia's counter-offer.

The Xi Xia envoy's face turned black.

Naturally, these people were not the only ones in the huge Golden Temple.The people from Honglu Temple were also there, as were the servants of the household department and various officials, and the people in the political affairs hall were smiling, and from time to time they inserted a few words after the words of the minister of the household department.

In addition, there are historians who hold books and record them in the book from time to time.

So many people surrounded the Xixia envoy, it was like a group of foxes surrounded a few young chicken cubs, staring at them.

The officials of Daheng are dressed in courteous official robes, but the words they spit out with a smile on their faces are one step at a time.Kong Yilin was also standing aside, suddenly felt greatly inspired, and learned a lot from the confrontation between the officials of the two countries.

It suddenly dawned on me that he could still deceive people like this.

The Xixia envoy's face is really stained with vegetables now. The Xixia prince clearly knows that there are pitfalls in these people's words, but no matter how fast his head turns, he can't keep up with the brains of these famous ministers.Among the Xixia envoys was an official responsible for negotiating. He couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "You guys are deceiving people too much!"

"Too much deception?" Shen Zhizheng smiled helplessly, "May I ask all the envoys, how did I deceive others?"

When Daheng is really courteous to others, they feel that Daheng is useless, and that Daheng's keeping these rules and keeping these good names is just vanity and useless.But now, after the people hidden under the polite skin really become unreasonable, they realize how good it is for other countries that a big country can humbly give courtesy to neighboring countries.

The Xixia envoys had too deep a stereotype of Daheng, as if they thought that as long as they spoke, Daheng would agree to everything.

But the current Daheng is no longer the former Daheng.

Li Angshun reacted quickly, took a step forward and apologized: "The words were violent and not rigorous in a hurry, please don't argue with me, my lord."

When two countries compete for their own interests, fierce rhetoric is a trivial matter, and psychological warfare and deliberate oppression and humiliation are all aimed at making the other side back down.The officials of Daheng pressed forward step by step, saying that they were deceiving others too much, but the people of Xixia were in chaos and barking like defeated dogs.

The apology from Prince Xixia was frankly accepted by Daheng officials, and they generously expressed that they didn't care.

The more generous they were, the more they showed Xi Xia's desperation.

So far, today's discussion is over.In the next two days, the back-and-forth in the Xuanzheng Palace was protracted and slow, and matters gradually became more detailed. As the negotiations progressed step by step, both parties finally determined acceptable conditions.

After the final decision was made, the dispute between Daheng and Xixia was finally settled.Xixia still gave up those benefits, and promised to provide Daheng with a fixed supply of at least [-] horses every year.

In the discussion field, Daheng merchants can occupy [-]% of it, and the tax and dental money are [-]% higher than before, and there are other scattered and trivial matters. In short, the harvest is quite fruitful.

After agreeing to these things, the Xixia envoy's face was not very good-looking.Li Angshun also had a cold face, the perfunctory smile on his face froze.

Gu Yuanbai half-closed his eyes, his complexion was a little pale.There was a smile on the corner of his lips, although he didn't move a bit, but his brain was running at a high speed, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.

But it was well hidden and no one saw it.

The sun was in the sky, and it was exactly noon.The dishes in the imperial dining room were put out one by one. Today is a state banquet for Xi Xia, so naturally a lot of effort has to be made.After the dishes and drinks were served, amidst the toasts and jokes of the officials, the Xixia envoy's expression finally softened a little.

It was also at this time that Li Angshun discovered that Chu Wei was also here.

Emperor Daheng had previously escorted Chu Wei into the carriage and admonished him for it.From this point of view, Chu Wei and Emperor Daheng seem to have a good relationship.

Li Angshun glanced at Chu Wei and drank a glass of wine.Inexplicably, he glanced at the aloof emperor, and drank another glass of wine.

After three or two times, his sanity was a little blurred.Li Ang stood up abruptly, picked up the wine glass and walked in front of Chu Wei, dragging Chu Wei's arm involuntarily to come in front of the Holy One.

The guards behind Gu Yuanbai fixed their eyes on Prince Xixia.

The Xixia prince was drunk, and he said with his tongue out: "Foreign minister, I want, I want to marry your official."

Gu Yuanbai looked at him expressionlessly.

The Xixia prince insisted on tugging at Chu Wei, but his eyes were fixed on the emperor, "The foreigner has taken so many steps back, and he likes him, Emperor Daheng, you, can you agree?"

Chu Wei's face was cold and furious. He was about to shake off Prince Xixia's hand when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, but stopped.

He turned his head sideways and looked at Li Angshun deeply.

If you really like me, why are you staring at the Holy Majesty so hard.
