The envoy from Gumo State was standing next to Shulü An. In fact, he felt a chill and was very uncomfortable.
But when he noticed that the Empress of Great Xia was looking at him, he reacted immediately, especially when he thought of what the Empress of Great Xia had just said.
Krosh felt that his country was respected, unlike the Mobei Royal Court that had just trampled on it so casually.
Immediately!
Cloche was inexplicably confident, and ignored Shulü An who seemed to be frightened and didn't know what was going on. He said directly: "Your Majesty, on behalf of our king, I congratulate you and the queen on your wedding. Our country will send gifts soon, these are just a small token of my appreciation."
As he spoke, Cloche held the box in both hands.
Xia Fengxiang smiled and said, "Good."
After all, I have been in Luoan City for several years, and I understand that the word "good" is actually a compliment to myself.
So the envoy from Gumo immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Your Majesty, the Queen of Daxia."
After saying this, he handed the box in his hand to the eunuch who came over to take it, and then respectfully returned to his seat.
At this time, Xia Fengxiang looked at Shulü'an and said, "Now it's your turn, the King of the Southern Court of Mobei."
When Xia Fengxiang opened his mouth to speak, Su Changan retracted his sword intent.
Shulü An suddenly felt relieved. She gasped for breath and stared at the Queen Mother of Daxia in horror.
this woman
What's wrong with this woman!
Although I have heard that he is a sixth-rank swordsman, why is this so?
Why does it make me feel suffocated?
Shulü An was breathing heavily and looking at Su Changan in surprise, with beads of sweat clearly visible on his forehead.
But it was as if he didn't hear Xia Fengxiang talking to him at all.
"Your Majesty."
The person behind him saw that his master was looking at the Queen of Daxia, especially with a look of fear on his face, and whispered a reminder.
Upon hearing this, Shulü An turned around and looked at the people around him.
"The Emperor of Daxia asked you to speak."
However, after saying this, the Mobei official immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.
When Shulü'an heard this, she reacted immediately, but after glaring at the man, she immediately turned around to look at the Queen of Daxia, and she was also aware that she had just embarrassed herself.
While clenching his fists, he glanced at Su Changan.
Then he turned around and took the box from his subordinate behind him, and said, "Here is a gift from my Queen Mother to you. It is the head of our Mobei general who invaded your Great Xia and Yan lands before!"
Chapter 269: Wedding (Part )
Head? !
The heads of the Mobei generals who invaded Daxia and Yan? !
Everyone present was stunned, and then looked at the box in Shulü An's hand.
Just a short moment!
The next moment, everyone looked surprised and had different expressions.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the entire tent was filled with panic!
Those foreign envoys all stared at Shulü An, wondering if this barbarian King Nanyuan from the northern desert had gone crazy!
Giving this thing away on such an occasion!
Or
Is this King of the Southern Court deliberately trying to anger Emperor Daxia?
but why.
Aren’t you afraid of being killed?
Or maybe he was sure that Daxia would not dare to kill him. After all, if he was killed, it would lead to a national war!
Moreover, the generals sent by Mobei were their own generals who were unwilling to submit to the Queen Mother.
So after killing him, send him to Daxia?
But if it were an ordinary day, sending something like this would actually be considered a good thing.
After all, they were the heads of the generals who invaded Daxia. To some extent, it could even be considered that Mobei was seeking peace with Daxia.
But you chose to send this thing today, especially since you have been in Beijing for such a long time, and you waited until today to send it.
On a happy day like today, not to mention Da Xia, a country of etiquette, even in these foreign countries, people cannot stand the sight of bloodshed, let alone sending heads to them.
The foreign envoys sat in their respective seats, looked up at Shulü An's back, and then looked at Emperor Daxia who was sitting in the upper seat.
However, the prince of Yanqi Kingdom was holding a piece of grilled lamb chop in his hand, with an expression of watching the fun.
After taking a bite, he wanted to say something, but was stopped by his own national teacher, Klesin, who was beside him.
The prince was helpless for a moment, but immediately looked at Xia Tingyu over there and found that the woman had a calm expression and it was hard to tell what she was thinking, so he chose to continue eating lamb chops and watching the fun.
boom! !
But it was at this moment!
An old man slammed the table and stood up.
But just when the old man was about to speak while glaring at Shulü An with great anger, he swallowed the anger back and turned around to bow to the empress and Su Changan.
The old man who stood up was over sixty years old. He had completely left the court, but because of his outstanding military achievements in the north in his early years, he was an old general supported by the court. He had been enjoying his old age in his hometown. He rushed all the way here because he knew about the emperor's wedding banquet.
Originally he felt that this trip was not in vain, especially after hearing about how the Queen was so frugal for the sake of the people!
Especially when he felt the Queen's sword intent just now, his heart was even more excited.
Having been a military commander all his life, he is not as pretentious as the literati.
As long as it is good for the people, that’s enough!
Moreover, he had such strength, and when it was time to take action, he did not hesitate at all. He instantly eliminated the barbarian's rebellious arrogance, and made the barbarian sweat profusely and look terrified. This made the old general feel very happy, but it was a pity that he could not kill him with one knife!
But even so, it doesn’t matter!
Having a heart that loves the people is enough strength!
It can be said that the old man, who already had great respect for the Queen, was even more impressed when he saw how decisive the Queen was!
I was so happy that I even drank several glasses of wine!
but now
Such a happy day!
Such a happy day for me!
Damn barbarian, give me your head!
No matter whose head you are, I will send it to you today instead of earlier or later!!
How can I bear this!
But when he stood up, he thought that today was the emperor's happy day and he could not say any vulgar or taboo words, so he swallowed them back with all his strength and even clasped his fists to apologize.
Xia Fengxiang said softly: "Old General, please sit down first."
The old general looked at Xia Fengxiang's expressionless face, responded, then frowned and sat down.
As for people like the old general, it can be said that almost all the civil and military officials of Daxia present are like this!
It's just that everyone was concerned about the hot summer day today, so they found ways to endure it.
But the anger on everyone's faces was obvious. The older generation could still endure it, but the younger generation clenched their fists and just stared at Shulü An, as if as long as His Majesty gave the order, not to mention the military generals, even the literati would be willing to raise their fists and rush forward!
after all
This is a naked provocation!!
just
Except for one other person.
The Eighth Prince!
The Eighth Prince looked at Shulü An in horror. If he had a knife in his hand, he would rush up and kill Shulü An immediately!
What's the meaning.
What do you mean by Mobei suddenly bringing up the matter of invading Yandi before? !
Now he wanted to kill Shulü An, which had nothing to do with national hatred or family feuds, but was for self-protection!
Because the invasion of Yan territory by the Mobei Iron Cavalry was planned by him and the Mobei Marshal Yelu Gu.
His purpose, of course, was to gain control of the military power of Jiaodong, which was close to Yan, and then gradually take complete control of the entire Jiaodong. In this way, he would have control over the two major regions of Yan and Jiaodong.
As for Yelu Gu, as far as he knew, he was also trying to eliminate the disobedient people under his command!
So later on, he led his troops to kill tens of thousands of Mobei cavalry and expelled them from Mobei!
but now
This matter can be said to have completely passed.
The Eighth Prince also knew that the Emperor and a few other people knew about this matter, but there was no evidence!
After all, everyone around him who was involved had been killed by him.
On the barbarian side, the Eighth Prince also sent people to kill Yelu Gu, but before they could do so, the Khan of Mobei died, a coup d'état took place in Mobei, and it was said that Yelu Gu was also dead.
So the Eighth Prince ignored the matter because in his opinion there was no evidence!
In the eyes of many people in the world, including some people in Yan who were kept in the dark, he was a hero who drove out the barbarians from Mobei!
