Chapter 15 Palace Banquet (2)

Although it is the truth, it is inevitable that people with a heart will feel unhappy when they hear it.

Jiang Fuguang secretly glanced at Cheng Engong sitting on the seat.

really!

The smile on Cheng Engong's face was gone, but because Zhang Chengxian's words were so brilliant, he couldn't refute for a while.

There were disturbances from the Northern Qiang people in the north, and disturbances from the Nanyue people in the south. In the northern and southern dynasties, there was no large-scale mobilization of troops, and the defense was foreign invasion.

The discord between the two dynasties is a division and contradiction within Xiatu, just like a family of "brothers" fighting each other, but the two dynasties have the same heart to resist foreign countries.

Emperor Nanxing took the overall situation into consideration when the Northern Dynasty was in crisis, and agreed to negotiate a peace.
In the Northern Dynasties, it is benevolence and righteousness;

For the people of the two dynasties, it is also benevolence;
As far as the huge Chinese land is concerned, it is also a saint!
In a few words, Emperor Nanxing was shaped into a generation of Mingjun and Holy Lord.

Who can refute it?
Emperor Nanxing didn't make a sound.

The officials of the Southern Dynasty below were a little dissatisfied with this statement, thinking that the Northern Dynasty had lost the battle, and it was too ignorant to send indemnities and protons to negotiate a peace, but still put on a posture.

But it's not easy to jump out and pick thorns.

Ji Ruxuan curled her lips playfully. In fact, since the first family of the Northern Dynasty, the Yu family, was exiled outside the customs, the Northern Dynasty's national power has declined, and the Northern Dynasty has no choice but to negotiate peace to buffer the huge threat posed by the Qiang people to the Northern Dynasty.

Zhang Chengxian bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty, Zhang Chengxian, under the order of my emperor, I will take the [Thank You Gift] prepared by my emperor for His Majesty in the Southern Dynasty, and go to the Southern Dynasty to present it on behalf of my emperor. I am sincerely grateful to His Majesty in the Southern Dynasty, and I also thank His Majesty in the Southern Dynasty. For the hospitality of our dynasty, I would like to use this wine to represent my emperor and respect His Majesty the Southern Dynasty," he knelt down slowly on the ground, and the envoys of the Northern Dynasty also knelt down one after another, "Long live, long live, long live."

Therefore, the cession of the city and the huge amount of indemnity were all "gifts of thanks" given to Emperor Nanxing by the emperor of the Northern Dynasty in gratitude for his benevolence and righteousness.

What a clever mouth, not only took into account the dignity of the Northern Dynasty, but also did not forget to put a high hat on Emperor Nanxing.

In the diplomatic relations between the two countries, the most important thing is sincerity, and the rest is secondary.

Zhang Chengxian's words and deeds, although he intended to protect the dignity of the Northern Dynasty, was full of sincerity, but anyone with a brain would not care about such things.

Such a talent, the Minister of Rites really buried him.

However, the leading envoys of the Northern Dynasty are so powerful, how could they agree to the Southern Dynasty to openly insult the prince of this Dynasty and trample on the dignity of the Northern Dynasty on the day the prince of this Dynasty enters Beijing?
Is there something hidden in this?
Jiang Fuguang glanced at his father.

Sure enough, there was no trace of displeasure on Emperor Nanxing's face, and he nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Zhang Chengxian's words: "I appreciate the sincerity of the emperor of the Northern Dynasty."

The palace banquet continued.

A court lady came to serve the wine, and the amber liquid condensed into the cup, exuding a very mellow and elegant wine fragrance, which immediately filled the hall, and the fragrance was endless.

Cheng Engong gently stroked his short beard: "This is amber wine from the Southern Dynasty. It is named for its clear color like amber. It is a very precious tribute wine from the Southern Dynasty."

Having said that, he smiled deeply, and glanced at the envoys of the Northern Dynasty.

"I heard that the northern region is bitterly cold, so I must have never tasted the beauty of amber. The eldest prince of the Northern Dynasty, and all the envoys from the Northern Dynasty, should taste it carefully, and don't disappoint His Majesty's kindness."

Inside and outside the words, it is all about the enthusiasm for entertaining guests, but the phrase "the bitter cold in the north" inevitably shows the meaning of stepping down.

It can be seen that Zhang Chengxian's words just now poked into the lung tube.

At that moment, courtiers followed suit.

The officials from the Northern Dynasties, no matter how unhappy they were, tried their best to smile awkwardly and politely, and deal with the belittling from the Southern Dynasties with silence.

The scene was awkward and uninteresting.

Holding the wine glass, Ji Ruxuan turned her head gently, looking up at Princess Fuguang from time to time, with a faint smile on her lips, revealing a hint of playfulness.

After the spring feast, there were many rumors in Beijing.

Generally speaking, Princess Fuguang is arrogant and arrogant by nature.

Duke Cheng'en's Mansion was worried about Jiang Fuguang's meddling in the palace banquet, so they specially arranged this play, and how could they know that Princess Fuguang didn't just follow her tricks and retreat to advance?

How much of the unfavorable rumors about Princess Fuguang in Beijing is her own work?
Public opinion is indeed a weapon to destroy people.

It's really hard to control.

Once it gets out of control, it will eat itself back.

This Princess Fuguang is even more interesting than imagined.

She also looks so good-looking, as if she can shine.

Well, I don't want her to die.

Perhaps, the rules of the game can be changed?
Jiang Jingzhang, who was sitting opposite, saw that Ji Ruxuan was absent-minded, and smiled playfully, "Why doesn't the eldest prince of the Northern Dynasty drink alcohol, but do you think my Southern Dynasty wine is not as good as the Northern Dynasty wine?"

As soon as this statement came out-

All eyes looked at Ji Ruxuan.

At the palace banquet, no one would blatantly target Ji Ruxuan. The banquet was for the sake of diplomatic relations between the two countries. demeanor.

However, it is necessary to take the opportunity to make things difficult for the proton of the Northern Dynasty, so as to prevent others from underestimating the achievements of Duke Cheng'en's mansion because of Zhang Chengxian's just words.

It seems that if I don't accompany them to finish the play, I'm afraid I won't let it go.

Ji Ruxuan hooked a smile, picked up the amber wine in front of him, and shook the cup lightly. The amber liquid was crystal clear, like jade dew wine.

Holding on to the wine glass, he slowly got up.

There was a rustling sound when he got up, causing the eyes of the hall to cast him from all directions.

The atmosphere is slightly gloomy.

Ji Ruxuan picked up the cup, and walked into the hall a little casually: "Cheng Engong is right, the northern land is bitter and cold, so it should not be as rich as the southern land."

The officials of the Northern Dynasty all cast angry glances at him.

Ji Ruxuan turned a deaf ear to it, and met Emperor Nanxing's condescending gaze.

He slowly lowered his head, bowed and gave a salute: "Xuan, when you enter the land of the Southern Dynasty, wherever you pass, you will praise your Majesty the Southern Dynasty for his martial arts, benevolence, love and virtue, and his dedication to governance will move the heavens and make them send auspicious omens." , protected the land of the Southern Dynasties, and achieved the prosperity of the Southern Dynasties.”

As soon as this 'Heavenly Auspiciousness' was exported, the atmosphere in the Tai Chi Hall immediately became interesting.

Cheng Engong's face was a little ugly.

What Ji Ruxuan said was that he didn't make it clear that Jiang Fuguang was responsible for the Southern Dynasty's current ZTE situation.

Cheng Engong was able to win the battle, which is also the reason why the Southern Dynasty had "auspiciousness" asylum, as if Cheng Engong's mansion won the battle, and the credit was all on Jiang Fuguang.

Cheng Engong and Jiang Jingzhang sang together, trying to give Ji Ruxuan a blow and publicize the achievements of Cheng Engong's mansion, but they made a mistake.

Jiang Fuguang finally felt that the palace banquet was interesting, and couldn't help but look at Ji Ruxuan more.

Emperor Nanxing looked at Ji Ruxuan with an unpredictable expression: "Oh, when he became the throne, natural disasters and man-made disasters continued in the Southern Dynasty, riots and rebellions occurred frequently everywhere, the treasury was empty, and the country was not prosperous. I still remember that in that winter, many areas in the Southern Dynasty, There was a rare freezing rain, and rumors spread everywhere, saying that my virtue was not worthy, so the heavens sent disasters."
