Chapter 157 Tribute from the Yi Tribe
"I can't wait. I don't want to waste my time with them."
He looked indifferent, "I want my father to personally give up the throne as soon as possible."
He wants to ascend the throne and put an end to everyone's wishful thinking.
Mo Yanzhuo nodded seriously: "I will help His Highness."
Gui Ying knocked on the door, walked in, and said to the two of them: "Your Majesty, the Regent, my subordinates received a letter, which is about the current king of the thirty-six Yi tribes in Northern Xinjiang - Ur."
Ur, who comes from the Wu tribe of the Yi tribe, recently united all thirty-six tribes with his iron-blooded tactics and became the king.
Then he made an audience with the dynasty.
Mo Yanzhuo took the letter and glanced at it, looking a little worried.
What Guiying showed him was also the list of people and targets they came to meet.
They said that they had brought a thousand sheep and five thousand well-bred horses with them this time, and pledged themselves to the dynasty in the hope of exchanging one million dans of grain for the dynasty.
The person leading this time was Ur's younger brother Wu Shang, and he was accompanied by his younger sister Wu Qin.
They said later that Wuqin had always liked the culture of the Central Plains, admired the Central Plains dynasty, and wanted to marry the prince of the dynasty, stay in the Central Plains, and become a link of peace between the two races.
The only adult princes in the dynasty are Jun Changxiao and Jun Changque. Jun Changxiao already has a prince concubine and a concubine. Her marriage partner is most likely to be Jun Changque.
Even if the aliens have ulterior motives, they are still a defeated country. What does a mere princess mean?
Is it up to her to choose the prince to marry?
But the emperor didn't like Jun Changque at all. For the sake of peace in the dynasty, it was possible to give him an unimportant princess as the prince's concubine.
He had no doubt that the Emperor would do so.
For a prince, the Thirty-Six Parts were never worthy of being used as a source of confidence. Instead, they made the people fearful and disgusted.
Although other small countries are also half-hearted, they still have a little bit of humanity. Most of the deaths on both sides occurred on the battlefield. The thirty-six tribes of the Yi tribe have brutally slaughtered ordinary people in northern Xinjiang for many years. If the war breaks out again, it will easily arouse the anger of the people.
There must be a thorough settlement between the dynasty and the thirty-six tribes of the Yi tribe.
A prince who is related by marriage to the thirty-six tribes of the Yi tribe cannot gain the trust of the people.
He will also miss the throne.
For Jun Changque, the best choice is to stay as far away from Wuqin as possible.
After all, Jun Changque's own strength is enough for him to rise to the top, so why bother with it.
Mo Yanzhuo said: "It's best to cancel this marriage. Even if they come to court, there is no need to accept it."
The feud is so deep that it cannot be reconciled with just a word of interest.
How can the dynasty give them what they need, let them use the dynasty's food to raise strong soldiers and horses, and then come back to attack them?
Jun Changque said quietly: "It's a pity that the father will not listen, and the court officials cannot understand the consequences of indulging them, which will be a big blow to the dynasty."
What an unfair and cruel decision to the soldiers of Northern Xinjiang.
The two were thinking about how to drive their envoy back, but some people didn't think so. They were looking forward to the envoy's arrival.
When Jun Changxiao received the news, Leng Xiao came to him again.
I don't know what the two said in the room. When he left, Jun Changxiao looked at the door with a deep and intense look in his eyes.
It's scary.
As they thought, in the Jinluan Palace, the emperor and the ministers unanimously decided to let the Yi people see the power of the dynasty.
Because the crown prince of Zhen Guo Gong was still in the military camp in Western Xinjiang and could not come back in time, the emperor appointed Zhen Guo Gong to lead the troops in training, so that the envoys could see the power of the dynasty with their own eyes.
Let Wen Yuan work with the six departments to arrange all the affairs.
The task of patrolling the city was given to Liu Yun and Leng Xiao was not allowed to go. He thought of the connection between the Leng family and Jun Changxiao and did not trust his ability. He wanted to give the Leng family a chance to let them go. Know who is the emperor.
When he went to court, Wen Yuan followed the emperor and said with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel has been suspended from his post today, and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue has been idle for a long time, and the staff is not complete. I'm afraid it will be difficult to cooperate for a while. We still have to appoint two new ministers to take over."
The emperor thought for a while and looked at him: "You recommend two people to me, and I will think about it."
Wen Yuancheng said in fear: "Your Majesty, when appointing officials of the six ministries, it is still up to the Emperor himself to make the decision. I dare not say anything."
"I asked you to talk more, so you go ahead." Wen Yuan has been doing things by his side for so long, but he still reports everything in detail. Although he is a little annoyed sometimes, he feels very at peace.
He never breaks the rules and often provides him with some good ideas.
It made it much easier for him to handle political affairs.
Hearing what the emperor said, Wen Yuan hesitated: "Yes, Your Majesty."
He pretended to think about it and said: "The position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is extremely important. I have no one to recommend for the time being, but for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, I feel that Princess Anyang's consort Jiang Yihan is quite suitable. After his son was abducted, he I must be more aware of the importance of household registration, and in the last incident, I helped the Ministry of Household Registration establish a more complete household registration."
"Let me see that he is not the kind of person who takes bribes and bends the law. He will definitely be able to manage the affairs of the household department well."
The emperor liked the way he said something and trusted his vision. Since he said Jiang Yihan was OK, let him give it a try and use it as compensation for him for handling the matter lightly last time.
The emperor nodded and thought for a while: "I also think he is okay. Regarding the staff, I feel that I will feel more at ease if you are in charge for the time being."
"Your Majesty..." Wen Yuan couldn't believe it and quickly knelt down to thank him, "I will live up to your Majesty's trust."
The emperor waved his hand and motioned for him to get up: "The person I trust most around me now is you. Only if you control the staff can I rest assured."
Wen Yuan said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
"Okay, let's put this aside," the emperor said, continuing to walk forward. "Do you think it is good or bad for Ur to let his brother and sister come?"
Wen Yuan said slowly: "The Thirty-Six Tribes have always coveted our Central Plains Dynasty and must not allow it to develop. The Emperor is the king of a great country and has a broad mind. He has given them the honor of having an audience with them, but they cannot be allowed to get it." Looking beyond their own interests will only increase their ambitions.”
"Let them witness the prosperity of the dynasty and create fear. That is the meaning of this meeting. Don't worry about the rest."
The emperor looked at him: "If marriage can be used to maintain peace for a certain period of time, it is also a good thing. The soldiers can go home and see their families. Mr. Wen, do you think what I am saying makes sense?"
Wen Yuan knew in his heart that the emperor wanted to take the opportunity to regain military power.
He was still wary of the 500,000-strong army in Northern Xinjiang.
Wen Yuan showed no emotion: "The only suitable prince now is His Royal Highness Prince Zheng. Does your Majesty want their princess to become Prince Zheng's concubine?"
