Happiness through the dregs of books

Two days later, the people from Daben Empire finally arrived, and they officially moved into Lanyuan under the eyes of everyone.

In the evening, in order to welcome the envoys from other countries, the royal family held a banquet in the imperial garden for officials above rank five.Officials of the first rank and above can also bring three family members to come here.

Those who can come here are all high officials of the imperial court. Bringing the next generation of the family and making friends with them can be said to be of great help to the future.

Those who came to participate included concubines from Zhaoyi and above, so Xu Lulu was naturally no exception.

As for Li En, since he was in the palace, he naturally put on the official uniform of Duke Protector.And Wen Wen, of course, also came over as the husband of the Duke Protector.

Moreover, accompanied by him, there is also a handsome man in pitch black!

The black hair is not very obvious at night, but the fierce eyes cannot be concealed at night.Because of Li En's special status, he is the Lord Protector granted by the emperor, and his official position is above all the officials, so the two seats are at the head of the emperor.

At the banquet below, Yang Ru, the daughter of the Yang family who followed General Yang, saw Li En wearing the official uniform of the Protector of the Country, and Wen Wen next to him, showing such an expression.

In the outskirts of the capital before, after being rescued by Li and En, Yang Ru did not recognize that it was Li Huguo.It wasn't until he walked a long way that he realized belatedly that that should be Lord Protector.

So after Yang Ru went back, he immediately told his father, General Yang, about this matter.General Yang planned to find an opportunity to thank Li En, but he never saw anyone, so he just dragged on.

And this time because of the banquet arranged by the Daben Empire, Yihao had a chance to meet Li En, so General Yang brought his daughter over.

"Nolan, the envoy of the Daben Empire, see His Majesty the Shengshi Dynasty."

"Weipa, the envoy of the Great Ben Empire, see His Majesty the Flourishing Dynasty."

"Chris, the envoy of the Daben Empire, see His Majesty the Flourishing Dynasty."

Because the Daben Empire did not have the ritual of kneeling three times and knocking nine times, it just knelt down on one knee.

"Haha, envoys from neighboring countries, please hurry up." Gao Mingju should have known this in advance, so he didn't say much about their etiquette.

When the three envoys heard the words, they immediately stood up and walked towards the position of the envoys.

"I am very pleased when the envoys from neighboring countries come to visit. Let the banquet begin, all my loves, you are welcome."

After Gao Mingju finished speaking, all the officials bowed their hands to thank him, but no one moved their chopsticks.

——Except for Wen Wen who doesn't understand anything...

After taking a bite of the food, I realized that no one was moving. I put down the chopsticks with puffed cheeks, then looked at Li En suspiciously, and asked what was going on with my eyes.

"Hey, it's okay. Eat when you're hungry."

Wen Wen: "..."

Although I was a little hungry, Wen Wen felt that it would be better not to do such eye-catching things...

Swallowing the food in his mouth, he looked up at Gao Mingju above.Unexpectedly, he just happened to be looking at him with a smile... Wen Wen's face flushed for a while, and he glared at him and then stopped looking at him.

"Let's start." Gao Mingju also turned his gaze away, and moved his chopsticks after testing the poison.

Seeing Gao Mingju start to move his chopsticks, all the officials started.

Seeing this, Wen Wen finally understood why no one moved just now.It turned out to be waiting for the big boss to eat first!

Qi, bully yourself for not knowing the rules!

Now that everyone started eating, Wen Wen stopped holding back, quickly picked up the chopsticks he had just put down, took a bite of meat, and put it in his mouth.Then I clipped another piece to Li En next to me.

"Thank you Wen Wen."

Wen Wen pouted: "Don't just say 'thank you'! We are a family!"

Li En smiled dotingly: "Okay, let's not talk about it."

The two were talking in low voices when Gao Mingju started talking.

"I heard that the envoys of the Daben Empire came here with a few questions? Why don't you talk about it now. It's good for everyone to use their brains to answer while eating."

Hearing this, Nolan, the envoy of the Daben Empire, stood up and said, "Haha! Your Majesty is so forthright! Since this is the case, we don't hide and choke anymore, and just straight to the point. We did come with questions. But, If it's just a simple question and answer, it's too boring. How about the next lottery?"

"Caitou?" Gao Mingju didn't see a trace of doubt, and said curiously: "Oh? I don't know if the envoy has any suggestions?"

Nolan smiled and said: "This time, we came here with a total of five questions. Three wins out of five games. If the people present can answer three or more, you will be considered as the winner. Otherwise, we will be considered as the winner. "Nolan paused and continued, "As for the lottery, the loser agrees to the winner with two conditions. Of course, the condition will not be particularly harsh. But naturally, it can't be too simple. I don't know what your Majesty wants? "

Gao Mingju raised the corners of his mouth lightly, saying yes, how to provoke generals?

but--

"That's great! It's just that I think it's better to be more specific. Otherwise, we said one or two conditions, but you refused because they were too harsh, then..."

Gao Mingju didn't say what he said later, but everyone knew what he meant.

Moreover, Nolan and the following envoys frowned.

Hearing what the emperor said, you will definitely win?

It's too early to talk big!

However, the people in Daben Empire didn't know that Wen Wen, who was present, had a big cheating tool!

Of course, they don't need to know this.

"Haha, Your Majesty, it's a bit early for you to say this. But it's true. Then for this lottery, each of us will give one, how about it? ,,

Gao Mingju nodded: "It's okay. Then in a quarter of an hour, the two sides will make their respective decisions public." After Gao Mingju finished speaking, he waved his hand and called Li En up, regardless of the messenger.Of course, there are General Yang and Prime Minister Lu, who is not likable but has some ink.

General Yang glanced at Li En, but he still held back and didn't talk to him now.After all, the business now is to deal with Daben Empire Zhou.

spin.

When Li En went up, Wen Wen raised his lips and smiled at Xu Lulu who was opposite, then stuck out his tongue.

Xu Lulu on the opposite side gave him a smirk.

It's all the fault of narrow-minded Li En!

Isn't it just that I have gotten a little close to her these two days!Now, seeing the two of them together, they have a dark face!

Damn, the worst thing is, I was almost killed by that last night!

"asshole!"

Although he was cursing like this, his mind was uncontrollably thinking about what happened last night, and his face was blushing... "Aww~" The handsome man next to him called softly, reminding his master to pay attention to controlling his brain Hole……

"Let's play!" Wen Wen cursed with a smile, and then continued to eat!

And the other side.

"What do you think we should ask for?" Gao Mingju looked at the three people kneeling on the ground around him, and asked, "You can do whatever you want." Li En said so casually...

"I thought, why don't we ask them to provide us with some weapons. I heard that the Daben Empire has always been ahead of us in weapon manufacturing. Especially in the application and refining of iron, our Shengshi Dynasty is not as good as them in this point." This is Yang Da What the General said.

"I think it's better to directly ask for silver taels. Now that the emperor has been on the throne for less than two years, the whole country needs silver taels." This sentence was said by Prime Minister Lu.

In fact, Gao Mingju didn't care, he just didn't want to listen to Prime Minister Lu's suggestion.

snort!Don't think I don't know that you, an old thief, have bad intentions without evidence!You were not completely unrelated to the death of Emperor Xian and the Empress back then!

"Duke Protector, what do you think?"

Li En: "..." I said you can do whatever you want...

But obviously Li En can only think this way in his heart, after all there are outsiders present, let Gao Mingju look like an emperor...

"Just ask them to make iron directly. Of course, if there is a shortage of certain materials or materials in our prosperous dynasty, they will also need to sell them to us at a low price. Or the emperor just ask for technology and materials."

Gao Mingju pretended to be thinking, touched his chin, and said, "That's great." Then he paused, and continued to ask, "If they don't agree with this proposal, what other conditions do you think can be replaced?"

General Yang shook his head: "Is it possible for them to cut their troops?"

Gao Mingju: "..." This is even more unreliable than the one just now...Which country would be willing to cut its troops?

As a great general, General Yang naturally understood that this was unlikely, so he laughed dryly and then fell silent.

"I made a bold guess, and felt that the request made by the people of the Daben Empire should be the cession of territory or a large amount of money, so I think, it is better to let them say it first, and then we will choose one based on the conditions they put forward and their level. almost

it is good. "

Gao Mingju was silent, feeling a little upset.However, as an emperor, he was naturally able to cover it up very well, nodding without showing any landscape on his face: "The prime minister is right."

Prime Minister Lu smiled, with the look of "I am willing to do my best for the emperor".

"That..." General Yang was silent for a moment, and carefully expressed the doubts in his heart, "Are we only thinking about what the other party wants. If we lose, what will we give to the other party?"

Prime Minister Lu frowned, and said with deep meaning: "Don't you think the general doesn't believe in the strength of our prosperous dynasty?"

General Yang couldn't afford to wear such a high hat, so he quickly explained: "Of course I believe it. It's just that the other party doesn't think so.

"

Prime Minister Lu: "..."

Gao Mingju: "..."

Li En: "..."

Oh yes!

After a while, Li En looked at Gao Mingju and said, "Our prosperous dynasty is good at agriculture. How about using greenhouse vegetables to whet their appetites."

The two of them knew very well that this greenhouse refers to Zhou Zhuohua's technology that has not yet come out.Take it out and talk about it, and the people in Daben Empire will definitely be moved.But in the end, they must win, so naturally there will be no worries about them taking this technology. "Greenhouse vegetables? What are these?" Prime Minister Lu asked indifferently.

"There is nothing public yet. That's the decision. You go down." Gao Mingju explained without explaining, and then sent a few people down.

Although Prime Minister Lu had doubts in his heart, he could only hold it in his stomach.

Li En walked last, then glanced at Gao Mingju, and gave him a "Don't worry" look.

snort!No matter what the problem is, it can't be harder than my family Wen Wen!

Ah hello!You have selectively forgotten that Wen Wen has a cheat device!

A quarter of an hour passed quickly. Gao Mingju saw that the envoys of the Daben Empire were seated, and said first: "The visitor is a guest. As the host, we Shengshi Dynasty will be courteous, and the envoys of the Daben Empire will explain first. conditions."

Li En came down and told Wen Wen what happened just now.Looking at Gao Mingju with the expression "I'm very selfless", I complained in my heart: Do you dare to be more shameless?丨! !

Nolan smiled, wondering if he knew what Gao Mingju meant, stood up and said, "Our Daben Empire, the condition of the decision is that the loser cede one-tenth of the land to the winner! I don't know if His Majesty has This courage and confidence."

Gao Mingju didn't bother to pay attention to their provocative methods. He just said to the officials according to his own opinion: "Although it is not good to use the people's homeland as a lottery, but I have great confidence in you. And I promise that I will never I will cede every penny of my country's land!" This is to agree with the lottery proposed by the Daben Empire.

It's just that the officials below, who have won Gao Mingju's trust, instantly felt Alexander!

Wen Wen smiled mischievously at Li En and continued eating.He conveniently fed the handsome man a piece of fat.

Nolan smiled lightly, then looked at Gao Mingju and asked, "I wonder what your Majesty's condition is?"

Gao Mingju said with a smile: "I heard that the Daben Empire has developed iron-making technology. If we win, how about providing us with this technology and the corresponding materials?"

Nolan was not surprised, they had already expected this condition.The ironmaking technology of their Daben Empire is probably second to none in the whole world!After learning this, in terms of cold weapons, the attack power can be greatly improved.When the two armies are at war, the role of weapons is not small!

but--

"Haha, Your Majesty is joking. We can provide this technology. But—" Nolan paused, seeing that Gao Mingju didn't intend to answer, he continued unhappily, "However, we cannot provide this material. If your country wants to buy

, we can sell it to your country cheaper. "

Gao Mingju retorted unhurriedly: "Did the envoys think that this material is more important than one-tenth of the country's land?" If you can't agree, it's not sincere!

Nolan thought for a moment and asked, "I wonder what benefits our country will get if your country fails?"

Gao Mingju smiled deeply: "Greenhouse vegetables."

------small theater:

Gao Mingju: We have bet on our territory and you don’t even agree with this? !

Wen Wen: Exactly!It's like "I don't even give me 100 yuan!"

Li En: Something messed in

Qingqing: It has been on the shelves for seven days, and after that, it will be updated every day to 6000+, and when it is closed, it will continue to 9000+.Hope to continue to support you~
