Steel Dynasty - Chapter 161

[Chapter 161 Humiliation]

“There are beautiful women, otherwise you will be doomed.”

The messenger who remained silent glanced at Zhao Xing and said.

Zhao Xing turned pale with fright, confessed repeatedly, and then slowly retreated.

Seeing Zhao Xing’s obedient look, a guard said: “Taiji, when we come to Chang’an this time, we should enjoy ourselves before going back. It is said that Chang’an not only has good wine, but also the beauties are more beautiful than the last.”

“That’s right .

“These southerners are scared to death when they see us, just like dogs when they see wolves,” another guard said.

The barbarian envoy sneered: “Sooner or later I will turn this place into my bedroom, and then I will choose all the beauties in the world like the dog emperor of the Southerners.”

“Taiji, don’t forget us then.” The guard said with a lewd smile. .

The barbarian envoy laughed and nodded, and suddenly his expression became serious, “It’s a pity that Father Khan is old and has no ambition now. If I were the Khan of Heaven, why would I waste my time with Dayu like this?”

“Taiji’s words are reasonable. , We noble prairie people should go wherever we want like the eagles in the sky,” the guard said with a smile.

Another guard said: “But Beishantaiji, Dadaiji has always been dissatisfied with you, so you have to be careful.” The

barbarian envoy nodded and narrowed his eyes slightly, “How could that cowardly person be? My opponent, I’m worried about the other people.”

As the three of them were talking, Zhao Xing, who had just left, turned back and said, “The three envoys, the wine, the food, and the beauty have been ordered, and we have also invited three envoys. Please?”

Bei Shan snorted, pushed Zhao Xing away, and strode out of the post house.

Zhao Xing was pushed and staggered, but he still had an apologetic smile on his face. He was from King Zhao, and he did not dare to show any disrespect to the barbarians.

What’s more, the moment he came in, the guard called this person Taiji. Taiji means prince among the barbarians.

Based on this person’s appearance, the envoy who came this time seemed to be Beishan, the youngest son of Tian Khan of the Golden Horde.

It was rumored that Beishantaiji was good at conquering and fighting, and the countries in the Western Regions changed their minds when they heard about it. When the barbarians conquered the West, he conquered half of the small countries in the Western Regions.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xing put on a flattering look. Maybe King Zhao would rely on this Taiji in the future.

In the morning of the next day, Xiao Wenxuan met the barbarian envoys who came to Chang’an.

He knew the news yesterday, but deliberately delayed meeting these barbarian envoys in order to defeat the arrogance of these barbarians.

I just don’t know if the barbarian envoy was dissatisfied. In the morning, Zhao Xing came to report that the singers who served the three of them in the evening were all dead, and their condition was terrifying.

Xiao Wenxuan felt a surge of anger in his heart when he heard this. Although these singing girls were nothing more than abjects in his eyes, they were also citizens of the Great Chongqing Kingdom. These barbarians killed them at will, which was a slap in his face.

However, after learning that this person might be the barbarian Taiji Beishan, Xiao Wenxuan suppressed his anger.

“The three envoys got up this time. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality.” Xiao Wenxuan spoke first.

The barbarians were powerful and powerful, and Dayu was not as powerful as the country. Xiao Wenxuan was not willing to fight the barbarians unless he had to.

“Thank you Emperor Dayu. The reception last night was good, but the singing girls couldn’t stand the torture and died.” Bei Shan’s voice was filled with pride.

Luo Quan was furious when he heard this and was about to step forward, but when he saw Xiao Wenxuan’s warning eyes, he stepped back.

“Haha, the envoy is very powerful.” Xiao Wenxuan said with a fake smile: “I wonder what the envoy came to Chang’an for this time?”

Bei Shan glanced at all the officials with disdain. Except for a few officials who looked unhappy, Most of the officials looked flattering.

In his heart, he despised Dayu State more and more.

“This time, in the name of the Khan, I hand over my credentials to His Majesty. Firstly, I hope Your Majesty will cede to us the five states of Cangzhou, Qingzhou, Yizhou, Dengzhou and Laizhou. Secondly, we will pay an additional annual tribute of one million taels of silver per year. , Thirdly, the princess was sent to marry the Khan’s favorite Beishantaiji. If His Majesty agreed, the Khan promised not to have war with the Great Chongqing for ten years. Fourthly, from then on, the Emperor of the Great Chongqing became vassal to the Khan. , claiming to be the emperor.”

“If not, in three months, I, the Khan, will personally lead the army to capture Cangzhou City. At that time, not only Cangzhou City will be left intact, but also other prefectures and counties will be left intact. “Beishan said, he still didn’t know that his identity had been guessed.

As soon as these words came out, the whole court was talking about it, and Luo Quan clenched his hands tightly and gritted his teeth with hatred.

However, at the same time, many ministers showed happy expressions, whispered to each other, and nodded secretly.

Xiao Wenxuan almost fainted from anger. Land was ceded, compensation was paid, and marriage was required. Since the founding of the Chongqing Kingdom, he had never been humiliated by barbarians like him.

A burst of anger rushed over his head, and he suddenly fainted.

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty!” Xiao Huangmen, who was serving Xiao Wenxuan, was shocked.

At this time, Fiji said to Beishan: “Please also ask the three envoys to go back. Your Majesty is ill. He will reply to the three envoys when he wakes up.”

“No, if you agree, I will send the princess here. If you don’t agree, the three envoys will be sent back.” See you at Cangzhou City in a few months!”

Bei Shan said and left with a big laugh.

After the barbarian envoys left, rumors began to spread within a few days.

The current emperor seemed to be so angry with the barbarian envoys that he fell ill and became bedridden. This news made the people of Chang’an sigh.

It’s really useless.

In the Bishui Pavilion, Concubine Zhen was serving Xiao Wenxuan with a bowl of lotus seed porridge, “Your Majesty, you have to eat something no matter how angry you are.”

At this time, Xiao Wenxuan’s face was sallow and his expression was gloomy.

If the barbarians going south was just a guess, then the arrival of the barbarian envoys can be said to have made the matter clear.

“How can I afford it? At the court that day, the barbarian envoys openly proposed that I cede the land of Cangzhou, Qingzhou, and Dengzhou, and also asked the subsequent emperors of the Great Yu Kingdom to claim themselves as emperors of the barbarians and pay an additional million or two years of tribute. In addition, the country of Chongqing was also asked to send a princess to marry, and the barbarians promised not to use troops against the country of Chongqing within ten years. If not, the Khan would lead his troops to seize the land of Cangzhou three months later. “

After a pause, Xiao Wenxuan said: “However, this is not the most irritating thing. What is most irritating is that most of the courtiers have now written letters asking me to agree to the barbarian’s conditions. “

Speaking of this, Xiao Wenxuan became more and more angry.

Concubine Zhen sighed softly when she heard this and said, “These ministers are the same. How can they agree to such humiliating conditions?”

“Yes, there are still many hard-nosed people in the Chongqing Kingdom nowadays.” Xiao Wenxuan sighed, at this time he Thinking of something, he said, “Concubine Zhen, I remember that King Qi sent a letter. What did the letter say?”

These days, Xiao Wenxuan has been bedridden, and all government affairs are handled by Fiji.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered the letter Xiao Ming had sent ten days ago.

“Your Majesty, the dragon body is more important. Your Majesty will not have to interfere with this matter.” Concubine Zhen sighed quietly.
