His Majesty And Ministers

The emperor's marriage is based on the ceremonies of Nacai, asking names, Najib, Nazheng, notice, and issuing books. The etiquette is so complicated, the scale and momentum are so grand that there is really no need to repeat it here.However, the late emperor was diligent and thrifty, and tried his best to simplify this matter, so Jing Ye ordered Shaofu Temple to act according to his wishes. Even so, the preparations for the marriage still took several months.

But this is not something Jing Ye has to consider, because the battle between Xirong and Wuhuan has reached a critical juncture.What's even more troublesome is that the Da Yuezhi, who had been fighting with the Wuhuan people, unexpectedly turned to Xirong this time with their tails tossed.

I have to say that the leader of the Da Yue Clan is also a strange creature. Usually, one is strong and two are weak. If the two weak ones want to survive, they have to hold together and deal with the strong one. Otherwise, when the one loses and the other is crushed to death Not far away.

But that's what they did. They ignored King Wuhuan's proposal to fight the enemy together, and ran to Xirong without looking back.

Now King Wuhuan could only put all his bets on the first emperor, he had already sent envoys to the capital to ask for help, and the difference from last time was that the envoys came with King Wuhuan's own sister.

This Princess Wuhuan was quite famous, and it was rumored that it was because of her beauty that the war between Wuhuan and Da Yuezhi was provoked.

The envoys from Wuhuan were greeted by a palace banquet set up in the Guangling Hall, with melodious silk and bamboo on the steps, and the famous Zhezhi Dance in the Stone Kingdom of the Western Regions.With hanging tins on the crotch and flowers, the waist is heavy, and the hat is turned back with golden bells and snowy faces.

Jing Ye fiddled with the exquisite chiseled wine cup, and glanced at the envoy of Wuhuan sitting at the head of the steps. During the banquet, or after the banquet was over, the other party should have something to propose to him.

propose what?Want a horse?Want food?Want an army?And the appetite must be bigger than last time, because this time they brought the "Tianshan Mingyue".

Jing Ye shifted his gaze to Princess Wuhuan beside the messenger. She wore a veil, revealing a pair of eyes that reflected the lights, her outline was deeper than that of a Han woman, and her skin was more snowy. It reminded Jing Ye of the sugar steamed cheese made by Lu Baizang .

Jing Ye was about to take another sip of wine, but his slender and delicate hands stopped him from the side. Lin Xiaosheng looked at him and said, "Your Majesty forgot that I have ordered you to drink no more than three cups?"

"That's three cups?" Jing Ye looked at it, "...this stuff is so sweet, it's okay if you want to drink a few more."

Lin Xiaosheng directly took the wine glass from his hand, raised his neck and drank it cleanly, saying: "Drinking too much is useless, Your Majesty, don't waste your body for the sake of pleasure."

Jing Ye resentfully stopped, and after watching the singing and dancing for a long time, he was hungry, so he picked up the dishes on the table and ate a few mouthfuls.

Lin Xiaosheng could see that according to Jing Ye's physical condition, many things were fasted on weekdays, and there were many things that were allowed to be released, but the amount was also restricted.If things go on like this, even if Lu Baizang can find out the ingredients, he still feels that his appetite is lacking.

It was rare that the banquet was lively, this person ate a few more mouthfuls of dishes, even though there were some dishes that should not be eaten more, Lin Xiaosheng did not interrupt.

Jing Ye looked at the dancing girl whose gauze was flying under her eyes, and couldn't help sighing: "The waist strength is really good."

Lin Xiaosheng glanced at it and said, "It's too thick."

Jing Ye took a closer look and said doubtfully, "It's not rough."

Lin Xiaosheng didn't answer, and served him vegetables.

At the end of the song, Le Ji saluted, and Jing Ye ordered someone to reward her.Seeing this, the Wuhuan envoy got up and clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty's dancing girl is graceful. Although the girls of our clan are good at dancing, many of them are not as good as this one."

Jing Ye heard the words: "Then there are still better skills?"

The Wuhuan envoy said with a "haha" smile: "This dance was originally passed down from the Western Regions, so we and other border tribes are more proficient. Our princess on Tianshan Mountain can dance the most beautiful dance in the world."

Jing Ye looked at "Tianshan Mingyue" who was sitting there quietly, and said with a smile, "Oh, is this true? Why don't I order the musicians to play a replay, and the princess dances on the spot, which will open my eyes."

The Wuhuan envoy looked at the princess at the side, who nodded, and the Wuhuan envoy clasped his fists and said, "It's a princess' honor to be able to dance for the emperor of Shang Kingdom."

The princess stood up, and Jing Ye found that although her complexion was snowy, she was very tall. Jing Ye made a little calculation in his heart, and finally collapsed: Is my concubine actually taller than me?

The palace man brought the dance clothes, but the princess signaled not to use them. She was wearing navy blue clothes, her long black and beautiful hair was tied in a bunch on the top of her head, and she stood in the center of the hall with a veil. Han teenagers.

Jing Ye: "..." Although he is short-sleeved, he wouldn't favor women who are taller than him.

The painting drum beat three times in a row, the princess flicked her sleeves, and made the same opening gesture as the previous dancer, except that the former was soft and charming, while the latter was vigorous and lively.

The sleeves are full of drums, and the long sleeves go into the Huayin.

The white jade bell made a crisp sound.

The red candle moves the peach leaves, and the purple shirt moves the twigs.

Jing Ye finally understood why this princess was called "Tianshan Mingyue". If the dancer just now was showing off her figure, the person in front of her was depicting the scenery.

You seem to be able to see the endless grasslands, the tribesmen who conquered everything by strength, worship strength, blood and life.He has dark but vibrant skin, and a scimitar that drank blood.

The steps are fast and complicated, like a solo dance under the moon on a vast snow mountain.

Seeing that the song can't stay in the end, the clouds and rain are sent to the balcony.

The loose hem of the clothes fluttered down, and when Jing Ye came back to his senses, the play was over, and the man stood still with his head bowed.

Jing Ye looked at the Wuhuan envoy, who put his right fist on his left shoulder with a smile, bowed his head to Jing Ye and said, "I don't know if His Majesty of Shang Kingdom is still satisfied?"

Jing Ye laughed and said, "The princess danced in surprise, my people feel ashamed."

After the banquet, Jing Ye negotiated with the Wuhuan envoy in the imperial study.

Jing Ye had anticipated this day when Xirong invaded Wuhuan. No matter which tribe the Xirong people were attacking, once they conquered the outside of the pass, they would definitely attack inside the pass, and it would be too late to deal with it by then.

So no matter where they are fighting, Jing Ye will give appropriate support to the weaker side and check each other in order to exchange for long-term peace.

The content of the negotiation is how big the support is, and it depends on what King Wuhuan is willing to pay.

Half an hour later, the Wuhuan envoy got up and saluted, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, please allow me to go down and think about it, and I will give you an answer tomorrow."

Jing Ye took a sip of the tea in front of him and said, "Ye Mao!"

Eunuch Ye opened the door and came in, turned around the partition, and stood behind the envoy.

Jing Ye said: "Good luck to send the envoy out."

The Wuhuan envoy bowed again and said, "In order to repay Your Majesty's kindness, my king is willing to dedicate his sister to Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will not refuse this sincerity."

Jing Ye understood that this was a deal, so he nodded and said, "Tell your king for me that I will treat his younger sister preferentially. I will also choose a virtuous and virtuous daughter from among the daughters of the royal family in my dynasty to be named princess." , marry your king."

The Wuhuan envoy hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty."

Ye Mao sent him out, and the palace official in charge of escorting him sent him outside the palace.

When the Wuhuan envoy followed the guide and left the imperial study, he saw a man carrying a palace lantern, followed by a servant, walking slowly towards the study.

He knew this man, the man who sat next to the emperor at the banquet.

The envoy of Wuhuan asked the receiving officer, "Who is he? How can he be by the king's side at all times?"

The reception officer laughed and said, "Master Messenger, you have traveled thousands of miles to the capital, yet you don't even know the young masters around His Majesty?"

The envoy Wuhuan was in a daze, the last time he came to the capital was ten years ago, when the emperor was sitting on the dragon chair, this time he was exhausted all the way, so how could he bother to inquire about these things.

Seeing that he really didn't understand why, the reception officer said in a low voice: "Our Majesty, we like men."

"Miss."

Lin Min came to his senses, the ink drops from the tip of the pen dripped onto the paper, forming a mass of ink.

"Miss, it's getting late, go to bed."

Lin Min shook his head and asked, "Guangling Hall...?"

The servant girl replied: "The banquet is over. I heard that the princess of the Wuhuan tribe danced a dance. After the banquet, she was sent to Fengyang Palace to rest."

Lin Min lowered his head and smiled, got up, picked up the ink-stained drawing paper, and put it on the candlelight.

The maid hurriedly said: "Miss, be careful!"

Lin Min let the piece of paper fall on the ground, watched it burn to ashes, and then smiled and said, "I'm fine."

Lin Xiaosheng pushed open the door of the imperial study, walked through the partition, and turned into the inner room. Jing Ye leaned on the chair, resting his forehead with his hand, feeling drowsy.

He walked over and leaned down, stroked the bridge of the man's nose and lips, and stretched a hand behind his waist, intending to hug him up.

Jing Ye opened his eyes, he woke up when Lin Xiaosheng touched him, yawned and said, "I want to sleep for a while."

Lin Xiaosheng said: "Go back to the bedroom and sleep."

Jing Ye sighed and followed his strength to stand up.Lin Xiaosheng's palm rubbed against his waist, feeling a little reluctant.
