Five-year enthronement three-year simulation

Hearing this, everyone in the hall was shocked, and the emperor said angrily in court: "Presumptuous! Do you know what you are talking about?!"

Ming Jing reacted even more, and directly took the case, shouting in a cold voice: "Bachi envoy, I advise you to be cautious in your words and deeds, and stop uttering offensive words to my princesses of Tiancheng!"

But Ming Tan, who was the person involved, didn't say a word, just squinted his eyes, and his eyes fixed on Baki, with a smile that was not a smile.

The atmosphere immediately became tense.

"...Envoy, I think you are drunk, why don't you sit down and sober up before talking?"

Ming Hui looked at the emperor's face, then glanced at Ming Tan, who had cold eyes, hurriedly passed a step, and persuaded in a low voice: "Father, calm down... Qiang Mi is now... Don't get hurt Peaceful..."

"Amicable?"

Before the emperor could answer, Ming Tan on the side first sneered and said stabbingly: "The third princess of my Tiancheng is a golden branch and jade leaf. She is beautiful and beautiful. How can she not be worthy of making peace with you? My princess, look, this I'm afraid the envoy is not drunk, but insane!"

Baqi was stunned by her scolding, his thick eyebrows stood upright, and his strong physique like a hill was very intimidating, "Ninth Princess, don't you-"

However, as soon as he uttered these words, a familiar voice suddenly came from outside the palace, and interrupted loudly: "In my opinion, what His Royal Highness Ninth Princess said is not bad at all!"

Hearing this voice, Bucky's eyes widened for a moment.

He turned his head abruptly, only to see Atusa stepping into the hall.The latter didn't even glance at him, and directly stepped forward to give the emperor a deep bow, with a gesture of respect, and said apologetically, "Atusa came late for some reason, and I hope His Majesty will forgive me."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head away and looked at Mingzhao who was sitting on the seat who was not willing to meet his eyes, his heart was twisted, and his tone could not help but soften a bit, "...and, as His Highness Ninth Prince said- —”

"His Royal Highness the third princess is unparalleled in talent and appearance, and has a demeanor under the forest. She is exactly the person that this prince likes. Please let your majesty do it!"

Atusa's words were earnest, and the words fell short, not only the angry expressions of the emperor and Ming Jing froze on their faces, but even Baki's expression suddenly changed, and his face turned pale with shock.

He subconsciously glanced at Minghui in the hall, then quickly looked away, and hurriedly whispered in Qiangmi language: "Prince, don't be impulsive! The nine princesses of the Central Plains are the biological daughters of their queens, and they are very favored. If you can marry Without her... that would be of great benefit to Qiang Mi!"

"……Who do you think you are."

To Baqi's surprise, Atusa not only did not listen to this suggestion, but gave him a cold look, and said with a sneer, "You are also worthy to make decisions for this prince?"

Baki's burly body trembled violently, his heart felt cold at the sight, and he subconsciously closed his mouth.

And Atusa didn't care about him anymore.Seeing that the emperor hadn't answered for a long time, after thinking for a while, he simply lifted up the hem of his clothes, performed Tiancheng's kneeling salute, and repeated firmly: "Your Majesty, please do it!"

Your Majesty... Your Majesty hasn't reacted yet.

The emperor looked at the two Qiangmi people who were behaving strangely in the hall, and was a little dazed.

What happened to this envoy and this prince?

He thought for a moment, frowned, and turned his head to look at Mingzhao—I saw the bright glow on the latter's face, his eyes were shy but gentle, he stared straight at Atusa and couldn't take his eyes off, full of a look of love— The corner of his lips twitched immediately.

The emperor was speechless for a while, then coughed, "You don't need to be too polite, just get up first."

Atusa was also neat, and stood up again, and when he was about to express his sincerity in begging the third princess again, Ba Qi yelled strangely: "Your Highness, you have to think about Qiang Mi!"

However, Atusa didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, and said without raising his head: "According to our Qiangmi's rules, those who offend the superiors below will be demoted, punished by nine animals, and punished by ninety people, and then go far away."

He glanced at Baki meaningfully, and a stern light flashed across his light-colored pupils instantly, making him look a lot more awe-inspiring, completely different from his usual gentle and harmless appearance.

"Now we are in the border of the Central Plains, and I have no intention of offending Emperor Tiancheng's might—" Atusa stretched out his finger, and tapped Baki's eyebrows from the air, "I will remember this punishment for now; when I return to the grassland ...This prince will settle the matter with you carefully."

And it wasn't until this time that Baki was finally so frightened that his face turned ashen, and he fell back to his seat as if he lost his strength, unable to speak even half a word.

——Because the Tiancheng people present did not understand Qiang Mi's law, but he himself knew it very well.

What Atusa said just now is actually not the crime of "committing the superior" at all, but the punishment for the crime of "collaborating with the enemy and treason".

Collaborating with the enemy... collaborating with the enemy...

In this way... Could it be that the prince already knew about his private relationship with the second prince Tiancheng? !

He managed to understand this layer with great difficulty, and couldn't help raising his head in fear, looking at Minghui who was sitting at the top as if asking for help.

The latter originally promised that as long as he proposed to marry the Ninth Princess at the banquet and humiliated the latter, he would be given several benefits that he could not refuse...

However, right now, the partner didn't even give him a look. Instead, he said kindly to Atusa: "Since His Royal Highness has decided to bring this guilty minister Baki back to Qiangmi for punishment, then I need you." Give you a helping hand, send some more people to help you escort him back to the country?"

"—!"

Bucky's eyes darkened.

Only now did he truly understand: What awaited him in the future was no longer innumerable treasures, but those cruel whippings and the unknown fate of being exiled far away...

Prince Atusa directly proposed to marry the third princess Mingzhao at the banquet, and the latter also had a good impression of him, and was willing to go to Qiangmi to get married, which was really the best of both worlds.

The emperor already felt somewhat guilty towards Ming Zhao, and Ming Tan was beating gongs and drums nearby, so he simply waved his hand and ordered the Ministry of Rites to do a big job, giving the three princesses enough pomp and circumstance for their marriage.

On the day when Qiang Mi's envoys left the capital, there were tens of miles of red makeup in the city, hundreds of civil and military officials lined up, and all the people in the city were also summoned, wanting to see the princess's beauty, and all of a sudden the streets were empty.

On such a grand occasion, the emperor personally led the crowd to bid farewell to Ming Zhao outside the palace gate, and handed a long brocade box to her, signaling the latter to open it.

Ming Zhao was overwhelmed by the flattery, and lifted the lid of the box - he saw a long sword lying horizontally in the middle, and a lifelike five-clawed golden dragon was engraved on the scabbard. The materials were exquisite but not extravagant. On the contrary, it is very majestic.

"Father, this is..."

"My daughter of Tiancheng was born with dragon power," the emperor smiled, stretched out his hand and patted her on the shoulder, and said calmly, "This sword will marry you to the grassland, it represents Zhaoer's The old country. If one day you need this sword out of its sheath, then my father promises—"

"The entire Tiancheng Dynasty will stand behind you," he said with deep eyes and deep meaning, "I will always support you."

Mingzhao's fingertips trembled slightly, holding the box and raising her head, she wiped the corners of her eyes indiscriminately, held back her tears, and gave the emperor a deep blessing.

"Zhao'er thanks Father, Emperor Long En."

And at her side, Atusa also immediately heard the string song and knew the elegant meaning.He put his right hand on his heart, bent down towards the emperor, performed the supreme courtesy of Qiang Mi, and said respectfully: "We will definitely serve the princess with the highest courtesy of the grassland."

The emperor nodded lightly.

——Although Qiangmi became stronger day by day under the governance of Gerkuhan Da Shanyu, he was still defeated by Tiancheng's vassal state in name.

The emperor's sword, in addition to warning Qiang Mi that he had to respect the princess, also implied another meaning, which was the monarch's deterrent to his courtiers.

Qiang Mi is willing to win each other, so they will save face by marrying the princess and marrying the princess, laying an opportunity for the future friendship between the two parties; Like a sword, you are not afraid of fighting in battle.

As a politician taught by his father, Atusa not only understood this metaphor, but also secretly expressed Qiang Mi's respect and sincerity to Tiancheng to the emperor in the name of "serving the princess".

It can only be said that he deserves to be Qiang Mi's future successor.

...But these are not what the girls care about.

As the closest sister of the third princess in the palace, Ming Tan won the honor of standing beside the emperor.In her own name, she added two dowry to Ming Zhao with her own hands. While holding the latter's hands and chattering, she took the time to raise her eyes and stared fiercely at Atusa next to her several times.

"If you dare to treat my sister Zhao Zhao badly, don't blame this princess for killing Qiang Mi, and personally trouble you!"

Faced with such threats, Prince Qiangmi could only smile with his face, and promised her repeatedly: "Don't worry, don't worry, even if the pigeons are exhausted, Zhao Zhao and Princess Ninth will have letters and correspondences every [-]th day of the Lunar New Year." !"

Ming Tan rolled his eyes, but Ming Zhao was amused by the two of them and laughed out loud, raised his hand to stroke Jiu Huangmei's hair, and softly said: "Xiao Jiu, take good care of yourself."

"Sister Zhaozhao too," Ming Tan pouted, and seriously urged, "You must come back to see me."

"Okay, sister Zhaozhao promises you, she will definitely come back."

The girl smiled and nodded in the sunshine, she rarely abandoned her shyness, took the initiative to hold the hand of the young prince beside her, turned around, and walked towards Qiang Mi's mission.

At this moment, Concubine Ying, who was standing in front of the concubines, suddenly raised her head, staring at her daughter's back in a daze, her red lips parted slightly, as if she had something to say, but she hadn't had time to say it.

——However, from the beginning to the end, Ming Zhao didn't even look at the concubine she once respected the most.

She never looked back.

The matter of Qiang Mi's visit has finally ended smoothly.

Emperor Longyan Dayue not only rewarded Minghui and Mingjing who were temporarily serving as the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, but also specially set aside a Huangzhuang, which was assigned to the Ming Dynasty on the grounds that "it can build a good relationship with Prince Qiangmi". Under the name of Tan.

However, this Huangzhuang, located near the Spring State Palace, is not too big, and the grain output is also very low. It seems that it is just something for the emperor to enjoy casually, so no one cares too much about it.

On the contrary, the second prince Minghui, who has been highly valued by the emperor and has made many achievements since he returned from a business trip to Qianzhou...

The discerning officials looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

After the death of the first crown prince, the East Palace has not been decided for a long time; but now, many years have passed, and a lot of scriptures for asking the crown prince to be established have been played...

You should have planned ahead.
