Chapter 251 251 Intention (second update)
emperor:"…"
The emperor was happy at first, but then he thought about it and felt something was wrong.
When the news of the coup in Hao Kingdom came, he heard that the new emperor immediately appointed a prince, and the prince also had an heir.
Andaman continued: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our country is twenty-two years old. The Crown Princess has passed away, leaving only one son and two daughters. If the princess of your country marries the Crown Prince, my emperor will definitely make the princess the Crown Princess. "
"My Dahao's marriage to your country has been decided for a long time. My emperor has long been interested in having good relations with your country. I hope that the two countries can always be friends!"
His words implied that the previous Emperor Hao did not pay attention to the alliance between the two countries, but the new Emperor Wuhaduluo was different.
Andaman presented the letter of credence written by Uhaduluo with both hands. Eunuch Ni took it and presented it to the emperor in person.
Holding Hao's credentials, the emperor's brows widened. He felt that what the other party said was so pleasant to his ears, and he felt inexplicably happy and high-spirited.
Before, he had mentioned the marriage between the two countries to Wuhagalou, but Wuhagalou always showed no interest in the marriage and ignored it, and the prince insisted on getting in touch with him and repeatedly mentioned the marriage, which seemed like they Da Qi seemed to be inferior to others, which made the emperor very angry. He was disgusted with Wuhejialou and did not like the prince's groveling.
But now, just a few months later, the situation has suddenly reversed.
Now, it was their emperor Nan Hao who personally sent envoys to ask Da Qi to marry the princess of Da Qi. It was Hao Kingdom who "begged" Da Qi.
The emperor smiled sarcastically in his heart.
When his father was still alive, he always praised Gu Jue for his ability to see the overall situation and his ability to understand people. Now the facts have proven that Gu Jue is nothing more than that.
Didn't Gu Jue secretly collude with Wuhe Jialou before, hoping to gain support from Nan Hao from him? !
But what's the result? !
Now that Wuhejia Tower is over, Gu Jue has lost a powerful support. He wants to see if Gu Jue can continue to show off his power!
The emperor was quite proud of himself, but he didn't show it on his face. He looked calm and self-possessed, and said with a high air: "The new emperor of your country has ascended the throne. It is a happy event for the country."
His words not only congratulated Wuhaduluo on becoming emperor, but also recognized Wuhaduluo as the new emperor of Hao Kingdom from the standpoint of the monarch of Qi.
This was a good start for Andaman and other Nanhao envoys.
Everyone knows that Wuhaduluo rebelled and usurped the throne, and that his position was unfair. Now there are still three vassal kings in Hao Kingdom who have not surrendered to him. The people in the country also criticized Wuhaduluo, who felt that Wuhaduluo was a traitor and a traitor.
Now with the approval of the Emperor of Qi, it is also a very important step for Wuhaduluo to stabilize his position.
At least, with this first step, they can continue to talk about the marriage between the two countries.
Andaman looked at the emperor with a smile, saluted again, and said: "On behalf of my emperor, I thank His Majesty the Emperor of Daqi."
The ministers in the palace secretly exchanged glances with each other. No one expected that the marriage between the two countries would be brought up again under such circumstances. Moreover, judging from the emperor's face, this marriage was likely to come true.
The emperor's mood became more cheerful again, and he said reservedly: "As for the marriage, let me think about it again. After all, it is a major matter related to the marriage between the two countries."
To be honest, Andaman was not surprised that the emperor did not agree immediately.
After all, the current situation is that the Hao Kingdom is unstable, and it is the Hao Kingdom that seeks a marriage with the Emperor of Da Qi.
With the temperament of the Emperor of Da Qi, it is only natural to put on airs. If he agrees, it will be a monster when things go wrong.
Andaman smiled and agreed respectfully: "Your Majesty is right."
"The princess is your majesty's beloved daughter. If you want to marry me, Dahao, from afar, your majesty should consider it carefully."
Andaman seemed to have a very good attitude, smiling attentively.
The emperor was very pleased with the flattery from Nan Hao's envoy. Long Yan was overjoyed and felt more and more that the initiative in this marriage was now in his hands, unlike a few months ago.
The emperor originally wanted the prince to entertain Nan Hao's envoy, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought that the prince was still kneeling in the Ancestral Temple. If he gave this errand to the prince, it would mean that he, the father, would bow his head first.
Forget it, let’s give the prince a cold shoulder first, then the prince will know what it means to be superior to the king and subordinate to the subordinates, and to be respectful of the father and the inferior of the son.
So, the emperor looked down at the queue standing on the left, his eyes fell on a young man wearing a prince's python robe, and said: "Second prince, you and the Ministry of Rites are fully responsible for entertaining the envoys."
The second prince Gu Nanzhao opened his eyes slightly in surprise and was a little confused, but he immediately came out and received the order together with the Minister of Rites.
After the prince was punished to kneel in the Ancestral Temple, the second prince was summoned by the emperor and asked to go to court to observe.
The expressions of the ministers gradually became subtle. Thinking of Wang Yushi's suggestion of deposing the prince, the ministers could not help but feel their hearts beat faster. Could it be that the emperor really had the idea of deposing the prince? !
Gu Nanzhao walked up to the Andaman trio, smiled gently, and took the three Nanhao envoys out of the Golden Palace. The emperor's mood improved significantly, and the sun was shining like the weather outside.
The morning court resumed, but because of the incident involving Nan Hao's envoy, no one mentioned the matter of King Chen going to court anymore.
"King of Andaman County, please go this way." Gu Nanzhao politely led the way for the three Andaman people, "I will take the three of them to the post house to settle down first."
"Excuse me, Your Highness, Second Prince." Andaman said politely.
The group of people walked towards the palace gate. Andaman looked at the splendid and magnificent Qi Palace and praised: "This is my first time to Daqi. I heard that the capital of Daqi is prosperous and the palace is even more prosperous." It is magnificent and unparalleled in the world, and it truly lives up to its reputation.”
Andaman exaggerated, and Gu Nanzhao praised Da Hao, told some descriptions of Nan Hao in books, expressed his yearning for Nan Hao, and ended with the sentence "I hope I can one day go south to see the scenery of Jiangnan."
After finishing the polite words, Andaman changed the topic and asked tentatively: "I wonder if His Royal Highness King Chen of your country has returned to Beijing?"
As soon as Gu Nanzhao heard about King Chen, he thought of Chu Qianchen. His heart felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and there was a hint of pain in his expression.
"..." Andaman stared at Gu Nanzhao without blinking. He immediately noticed something strange about him and felt excited.
Uhaduluo's biggest concern is Uhagalou.
Everyone in Hao knows that when Uhagalou was born, an auspicious sign descended from the sky. When he grew up, he became outstanding in learning, noble in character, and profound in Buddhism. He was very popular among the people of Hao, a country that believed deeply in Buddhism.
Originally, Wuhaduluo decided to kill Wuhagalou and arranged several ambushes regardless of manpower. However, due to the intervention of King Chen of Daqi, these failed several times. Now Wuhagalou's whereabouts are unknown.
It stands to reason that Wuhejialou was hit by a poisonous arrow with "酹月" in it. There is no cure for "酹月", so he should be dead. The problem is that if they don't see the body for a day, their king will not be able to do it. Peace of mind.
This time, the purpose of the new emperor asking him to come to Qi was, on the one hand, for the marriage between the two countries, and for the prince to marry the princess of Da Qi as the crown prince, in order to win over Da Qi, so that the new emperor's status could be more stable.
On the other hand, he was also asked to come to the capital to see if Gu Jue had returned to the capital and to see if he had brought Wuhejialou back to the capital.
If Wuhejialou survives by chance, then he will naturally avoid future troubles.
A flash of murderous intent flashed across Andaman's eyes.
Gu Nanzhao didn't notice Andaman's strange behavior, and quickly came to his senses, telling himself over and over in his heart that sister Chen was already Princess Chen.
He calmed down and said with a smile as if nothing had happened, "Uncle Nine Emperors has come back. He just came back yesterday."
Andaman tried to calm down his mood, smiled slightly, and said politely: "I wonder if I can go to the Prince Chen's Mansion to visit His Highness Prince Chen?"
"..." Gu Nanzhao looked hesitant.
Even the eldest brother was punished by his father because of Uncle Nine Emperors. If he dared to agree, he might not be able to escape the punishment when the matter came to his father's ears.
But on the other hand, he wanted to go to Prince Chen's Mansion. Once there, he could see his sister Chen again.
Seeing Gu Nanzhao's hesitation, Andaman felt happy and thought there was something interesting.
He also knew that the Emperor of Da Qi did not like King Chen Gu Jue, or in other words, he was afraid of King Chen, and probably would not like him as an envoy of the Hao Kingdom to meet King Chen.
He considered his words and said as tactfully as possible: "It's not that my emperor asked me to visit His Highness King Chen. I just said that when King Chen visited Hao, I met King Chen once. We haven't seen each other for many years, and it is rare for me to come here. Da Qi, I want to meet an old friend for a while.”
Andaman kept his desire to visit King Chen as a private matter.
"I see." Gu Nanzhao nodded with a smile.
At this time, they had arrived at the palace gate. Outside the palace gate, the carriage and horses were ready.
Gu Nanzhao turned back and glanced in the direction of Jinluan Palace, but still did not dare to agree directly, saying: "I will send you to the post house to settle down first. I have to ask my father about this matter."
He didn't refuse at all, and Andaman and his entourage immediately understood what he meant. They were both human beings, and they exchanged glances with each other quickly without making any move.
The second prince of Da Qi is obviously not a decisive person, and it can be seen from just a few words that he has a very soft temper.
Emperor Da Qi arranged for such a person to entertain them, which was undoubtedly a "very good" thing for them.
