It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

There was an uproar in the hall.

It's not because of the status of the comer under Hu Guo alone, nor is it because of his appearance that is so different from the Central Plains people, but because of...

The emperor's deep voice contained anger, "Why don't you kneel when you see me?"

Su Shule's expression was haughty and unintentional, "There is Dayong in the south, and Qianghu in the north. Hu people are the pride of heaven, and they don't bother themselves with petty gifts. Even if I, Su Shule, see Tuli Shanyu You don't need to bend your waist, how can you kneel three times and kowtow nine times to your Emperor Yong?"

As soon as this sentence fell, all the ministers changed their faces when they heard it.This emissary...is he here to discuss peace, or to provoke?

"Bold!" Shen Zhuohao couldn't help jumping out, pointing at Su Shule with one hand, trembling with anger, "You are so rude, I am the emperor of Dayong, can't I be your respect?"

Su Shule glanced at him with disdain, "I was talking to His Majesty the Emperor, where did you come from? You say I'm rude, so it's polite to interrupt the conversation between the monarch and the envoys recklessly? You guys?" If the emperor's prestige in Yong Kingdom depends entirely on foreign ministers bowing down to prove himself, I think this so-called emperor's name is also... hum."

The words are not finished, but the meaning of ridicule is self-evident.

Shen Zhuohao has been admired in the palace for a long time, and he has never seen someone being so rude to him. He was so angry that he rushed out of his mouth without thinking, "You... you don't know etiquette, look If I, Dayong, don't send troops to slaughter..."

"Shut up!" The emperor slapped the dragon chair hard, looked at the eldest prince with a cold expression, and ended the farce.Shen Zhuohao was frozen cold by the temperature of his gaze, and couldn't help but tremble all over, secretly hating the dog for making him dizzy and speechless on purpose, almost forgetting that this was an occasion for the peace talks between the two countries.He returned to the front of the row resentfully, only feeling that he had lost all face, and hated the visitor even more in his heart.

Su Shule heard his last two words, and immediately smiled coldly, "Your Majesty, we came all the way from Hu State to seek peace and long-term stability between the two countries. Now you claim to be the king of etiquette. Bang, did you show this sincerity and treat him with this attitude?"

Shen Yanzhang has been able to sit firmly on the throne for many years, so naturally he will not miss the overall situation just for the moment.But within a few breaths, the anger just now was no longer on his face.He leaned back on the dragon chair again, raised his jaw, and looked down with condescending eyes.

"My Great Yong is a vast country, and we come to court from all directions. You Hu country is not capable of following the customs of the country, but Dayong has the capacity to accommodate you and other so-called foreign rules. There is no ritual of kneeling in the Hu land, and I will not force others to do things against them, but if you If you refuse to bow, then the two countries will have nothing to talk about today.”

Naturally, Su Shule didn't care whether he knelt down or kowtowed. The reason why he created such a momentum when he entered the palace was just to give Yong Guo a bad start at the beginning, so that he could make more money in the peace talks later. .Now that the emperor offered to compromise and proposed a compromise, he was not happy to see the atmosphere become too stiff, so he led his warriors to bow three times in a row before standing up straight.

After bowing, the expressions on the faces of all the ministers became better.Only the eyes of the eldest prince still burst into anger from time to time, Shen Jinghe and the fifth prince looked at each other, and shook their heads slightly.

The third prince cursed "idiot" in his heart, but walked out of the queue with a gentle smile on his face, and gently closed the folding fan in his hand, "Since it was a misunderstanding just now, it's good to untie it now."

After finishing speaking, he turned to face the emperor and saluted respectfully, "King Youxian and his party have come from a long distance, and they are bound to be a little tired after thinking about it. Why don't Father give a banquet in the hall, wait for him to enjoy singing and dancing, and then discuss state affairs after a rest? Beautiful?"

"It makes sense." The emperor nodded approvingly. Now, with every minute of delay, the inner court can discuss an additional plan for peace talks.What's more, the Hu people are full of arrogance at this time, and it may be disadvantageous to rush to make peace talks. It is better to slow down with singing and dancing banquets, and make a decision after their arrogance fades away.

He turned his gaze to Hu Shi again, and his questioning tone carried a firmness that could not be rejected.

"What do You Xianwang think?"

Su Shule straightened the hair crown on her head, and a shrewd light flashed in her slender eyes.

"As you please, please."

……

The orchestral strings and strings were twirling one after another, and the dancers in fairy robes with wide sleeves danced to the music in the center of the Huitong Hall.The emperor sat on the main seat and drank one cup after another, looking at the audience with an unpredictable expression.Su Shule and a group of Hu envoys seemed to be intoxicated by the singing and dancing of the Central Plains, and shook their heads to beat the beat from time to time, completely unable to see the sharpness they showed in the court before.

Shen Jinghe knelt and sat in front of the banquet table. There were several carefully cooked dishes and wine on the table, bursts of tangy aroma spread to his nostrils, but he was in no mood to move his chopsticks.

The Fifth Prince sat in front of the desk on his left, and poured a glass of wine by himself. The clear and transparent Sang Luo Niang swirled in the crane-shaped copper bottle with foam.He raised his glass to Shen Jinghe from a distance, "It's rare to have such a mellow and sweet Sang Luo Niang, if you don't take advantage of this time to taste it, you may not have such a good opportunity when you leave the Huitong Hall. "

Shen Jinghe warmed the wine vessel with his hands, but he was not in a hurry to pour the wine, "Brother Wuhuang, this Youxian King is cunning and suspicious, and now he agrees to the banquet so easily, I am always worried that he has secret plans."

"What's the rush?" Shen Zhuoxuan took a sip of the wine, gave a slight compliment, and half-cast his eyes as if he was thinking about it, "If he has the heart, he will show it later. But you, really don't you want to take advantage of the quiet time to taste a few more glasses of fine wine? Waiting for the barbarians to have trouble again, it will be difficult to have this drunken mood."

Shen Jinghe shook his head helplessly, and resignedly filled his glass of wine.The wine glass was placed on his lips, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Su Shule standing up unsteadily.He quickly exchanged a look with Shen Zhuoxuan, Shen Zhuoxuan raised his eyebrows, and said to him secretly with his mouth under the cover of the wine bottle, "This is believable".

Standing up was a sturdy man nine feet in length, with a leopard head and eyes around him, and a swallow jaw and a tiger beard. He slapped his hands boldly several times, and praised with a drunken smile, "Good! Well-deserved reputation! I, Solu Fang, have opened my eyes today. I just don’t know which one is better than our Hu Di’s music?”

After saying that, he turned his head again and asked with a smile: "My lord, I know you took that thing with you. Now that we are in Dayong's land, don't be afraid to make a fool of yourself. Take it out and let Dayong take it with you." Let your rulers and ministers take a look!"

Su Shule didn't seem to be surprised by his question, he stroked his beard again, and smiled, "Suo Lufang, do you think that the subjects of the big Yong Kingdom are as short-sighted as you? We carry this The little thing is just Bao'er, I'm afraid people have already fiddled with it a thousand or eight hundred times."

The emperor's hand holding the wine glass tightened, his face remained unchanged, and he looked at Su Shule with a calm expression.

"You Xianwang don't need to belittle himself. If you have the scenery of the Hudi, you might as well show it to the officials to open their eyes together."

"Since His Majesty the Emperor has said so, if I keep hiding it, won't I be pointed at and scolded for being rude and petty again?" Su Shule seemed to be reluctant to agree, but the Eldest Prince's expression turned pale when he heard the words. As soon as it got dark, the eyes looking at him became more and more unfriendly.

The dancer and the musician retreated to the sides knowingly, and Su Shule stood up without paying attention, and walked straight to the center of the hall.After standing still, he looked around, and finally fixed on the direction of the chief seat, his eyes were arrogant.

"I heard that there are many people in Dayong Neng, and Yu Leyin is also famous in the world. I wonder if I can have the honor to ask someone to play a musical instrument of my Hudi today, so that I can give us advice?"

As soon as the words fell, Su Shule clapped his hands, and the envoy immediately bent down and presented him with a wooden box.He paused, and took out a dark brown wooden tube about two feet four inches long from the wooden box. There were three holes in the bottom of the wooden tube, with angled ends at both ends, and the end was slightly raised, which was slightly different from the thin and long trumpet. They look alike, but they look weird.

After Shen Jinghe saw it at a glance, he frowned and looked at the wooden pipe. The slender and slightly warped shape gradually overlapped with the musical instrument in his previous life.But the horns on both ends are completely different from the musical instrument in memory... Could it be that its shape has changed a lot during the different transmission processes of the two worlds?

Shen Jinghe was contemplating to himself, but the officials looked at each other, discussing in low voices what it was.When the emperor saw this strange musical instrument that he had never seen before, his pupils also shrank, and he looked inquiringly at the royal musicians on both sides.The musicians exchanged glances with each other, and all lowered their heads in shame.They are all selected from a hundred miles from all over the country to enter the palace. They also boast that they can play Luanqin and Fengyue at their fingertips.It's just... none of them have ever seen this weird looking woodwind, let alone play it?

Seeing how ashamed they dodged, the emperor didn't understand anything.He knew that he shouldn't take his anger out on these musicians who were deliberately made things difficult, but he still couldn't help but feel an unknown anger in his heart, secretly hating them for being incompetent.

Could it be that he is a majestic Da Yong, but today no one can play this little Hudi's instrument?Hu Shi came here with bad intentions, if they win this game again, where will Dayong's face be put?

Suo Lufang didn't seem to see the ugly faces of everyone, but he still raised his voice loudly, "My lord, I think it's better to forget it. Our Hudi is so far away from the Central Plains, even if the people of Yongguo don't know it, it's fine." What a shame!"

Su Shule enjoyed the stalemate and cold atmosphere in the hall, with a proud smile on his face, "Suo Lufang, you are underestimating the Yong Kingdom. Dayong is rich in products and has everything, plus talented people Come out in large numbers, how can such a mere little gadget stump them! No one stands up now, presumably it's just because their etiquette emphasizes modesty."

So Lufang suddenly realized, he scratched his head with embarrassment on his face, "So, I didn't understand the rules, and I thought that Dayong was like our remote and remote Hudi, and there were not many people who could play music! "

The two sang together, but the emperor's face gradually turned livid.The courtiers on the seat were also angry, and the noise gradually became louder. Several people even wanted to rush out and curse, but they were firmly held down by the colleagues beside them.

The fifth prince's complexion was also not very good-looking, he frowned and said calmly: "The barbarians are simply deceiving people too much."

Shen Jinghe was still somewhat uncertain in his heart, so he didn't want to show off the limelight, but he didn't expect that the people of Yong Dynasty in this life seem to have never heard of this kind of musical instrument, let alone someone who can play it.If Hu Envoy is allowed to continue in such a domineering manner, the Yong Dynasty will inevitably bow down in terms of momentum in future negotiations, let alone gain the upper hand in the peace talks.

Somehow he thought of that young general again. If the bloody battle in the past three years has been exchanged for a covenant of forbearance, where will all the sacrifices and efforts of all the soldiers in the frontier be abandoned?

Su Shule looked carefully at the expression on the face of the Yong people who obviously felt humiliated but could only bear with it, and was very happy. He was just about to speak a few more words of sarcasm, but suddenly there was a cold and unconcerned voice in the chaotic voice. A voice with any emotion.

"Where is the evening sky blowing, and the tall birds in the cold wall have no wolf smoke."

The noisy voice fell silent in an instant, and all the officials turned their heads in surprise, looking in the direction of the sound.Su Shule's expression changed drastically, without blinking, he stared at a figure in Chinese clothes who slowly stood up from the banquet. It was a young man who was as handsome as an orchid orchid and a jade tree, and his whole body was shrouded in a haughty and dazzling demeanor.

Shen Jinghe met Su Shule's gaze sticking to his body like a poisonous snake from afar, raised his glass indifferently, and smiled slightly.

"You Xian Wang came from afar, but he still didn't forget to bring Hujia, he really has a heart."
