...

Tuoba Hongye was really angry. Liu Ce's letter was full of provocative meaning, which was beyond tolerance.

Originally, Tuoba Hongye recognized Liu Ce's proposal for trade and trade. With his strategic vision, he naturally knew that it would be much more stable to exchange gold, silver and fur on the grassland for the necessities of herders for a long time with the Central Plains, a country with rich resources. After all, this is the virtuous cycle that a country should have.

But now, Tuoba Hongye only felt that he was particularly embarrassed, and at the same time he secretly regretted not being in the crowd in this hall, especially in front of the envoys of the Western Regions, let Hua Buhu Chi read this letter, which was really a shame.

Liu Ce was too arrogant. A woman wanted to exchange for a land ranch more than 2,000 miles north of Xuanwu Pass. Not only did she occupy all the territory of Zhenghong and embroidered red flags, but she also directly expanded his territory to within a radius of 100 miles of Sunur Khan?

What kind of woman is worth this price? In modern terms, is this woman's x inlaid with diamonds? No, it should be made of diamonds all over her body from the inside to the outside? You will lose everything after a moment.

Of course, in addition to this, what made Tuoba Hongye speechless was that he actually called Liu Ce’s father?

Tuoba Hongye is already fifty-one years old, and Liu Ce is less than twenty-five. The two are twenty-six or seven years apart. Then they have to call a young man who can be his son and say "Dad" and still have to be filial to him?

Tuoba Hongye was furious and felt uncomfortable no matter how he thought about this sudden abnormal father-son relationship...

"Sacrifice the Holy Emperor..."

Tuoba Hongye was angry and frightened Hua Buchi so much that he knelt down and begged for mercy, not even daring to breathe.

The Du Shuai Ba Chi in the embroidered yellow banner immediately stood up and said, "Saint Emperor, please let me lead my troops to attack Xuanwu Pass, and take the heads of this guy who dares to insult the power of the Holy Power, who is ignorant and arrogant, and offers you..."

"We all want to ask for a fight..."

Ba Chi's words instantly resonated with other Mengluo generals in the hall, and they all stood up and claimed to fight against Liu Ce.

Tuoba Hongye did not say a word, looking at Hua Buhu Chi, who was kneeling on the ground, trembling. The atmosphere in the hall was filled with a solemn atmosphere, and even the envoys from the Western Regions were restless.

Although most of them couldn't understand what Hua Buhu Chi was saying just now, they could feel that what Hua Buhu Chi thought caused the butcher, oh no, it was the supreme Holy Emperor who was strongly dissatisfied.

a long time……

"Hahaha……"

Tuoba Hongye suddenly laughed.

This sudden change surprised everyone. Everyone looked at each other and thought to myself, could the Holy Emperor be so angry that he was crazy?

Tuoba Hongye waved his hand and said to Hua Buhuchi: "What I said just now, what are you afraid of for forgiveing ​​your sins? Get up..."

After saying that, Tuoba Hongye returned to his throne, and let the generals who asked for battle sit down, and said slowly:

"Liu Ce thought that after defeating me, Mengluo's army, would be complacent after defeating him once? Humph, I thought he was young and promising, should he know some cleverness,

I didn't expect that, but I was no different from the children of the Central Plains family. I actually wrote to me with such an arrogant attitude, thinking that I would disturb my mood for these few words. It's so naive.

Don’t worry, please continue to enjoy the delicious food at the table, come and drink this cup full of…”

As he said that, Tuoba Hongye raised his wine glass, and the people below immediately stood up to return to the warm atmosphere before. The singing and dancing that had stopped started to play again.

Suddenly, Wei Rong, who had been sitting still, asked her maid to pour a glass of wine for her, got up, walked slowly to Hua Buhuchi, and handed the wine to him.

Hua Buhuchi didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly got up and took the wine glass and said, "Thank you for the wine of Concubine Rong..."

Wei Rong smiled slightly: "Shuh General Chi worked hard all the way, so I drank this cup full of... "

Hua Buhu Chi didn't say much, and drank the wine in one sip.

Wei Rong nodded, as if she was thinking, and asked at a young age: "General Chi, how can you ask the prince?"

"Reporting to Concubine Rong, everything is fine for the king. Liu Ce has added etiquette and there is no intention to harm the king..." Hua Buhuchi replied truthfully.

Wei Rong thought something and then said, "It's too cold. Remember to go back and tell the prince to add a few more cotton coats to avoid catching a cold..."

Hua Buhuchi lowered his head and said, "I will tell the king what Concubine Rong is truthfully..."

Wei Rong stopped talking and turned back to the throne beside Tuoba Hongye, regaining her usual dull posture.

Tuoba Hongye asked in a low voice when he saw this: "My beloved concubine, it is rare to see you pour wine for someone on your own initiative. I just saw you and Hua Buhuchi whispering something. What did you say? Can you tell me?"

Wei Rong said: "It's nothing, I just told him to be careful all the way and not let down the Holy Emperor's trust..."

Tuoba Hongye frowned slightly: "How do you know that I will send Hua Buhuchi to Qianzhou?"

Wei Rong said: "Have you forgotten the Holy Emperor? Your younger brother, the King of Governors, is still waiting for your reply in Qianzhou..."

Tuoba Hongye was stunned for a moment, stared at Wei Rong for a while, and suddenly said, "It's rare. I thought you didn't care about anything, but I didn't expect you to care about negotiations..."

Speaking of this, Tuoba Hongye's eyes were slightly jawed: "My beloved concubine, why do I feel that you seem to pay special attention to the Auxiliary King between the lines..."

Wei Rong stopped talking, still held the Persian cat, put it in her arms and gently stroked it.

Tuoba Hongye chuckled: "I almost forgot that my beloved concubine is not silly. I just drank too much just now, just a few jokes, don't take it to my heart..."

He cut a piece of meat and put it to his mouth, and then said in a deep voice: "But then, you are my beloved concubine, and you can only have me in your heart. I can tolerate your arrogance and rudeness,

But you will never tolerate having a second man in your heart, otherwise, no matter who that person is, I will make him die extremely miserable!"

Wei Rong's face was as usual, but she still didn't say a word, her eyes only focused on the dancer in the palace.

...

After the banquet, Tuoba Hongye summoned Hua Buhuchi and Prime Minister Tuoba Si to a private palace.

When the two arrived in the hall, Tuoba Hongye immediately threw Liu Ce's letter to the table with a calm face and said, "Tell me, how should I deal with my relationship with Liu Ce?

From what he wrote in his letter, I can realize that this person must not judge by common sense. He is very resistant to the act of marriage and marriage!"

Tuoba Si said: "Saint Emperor, since Liu Ce is unwilling to marry, then just forget it. Besides, trade and trade are of great significance to me, and the Holy Emperor should not be too entangled with him in this matter..."

Hua Buhuchi also said, "Yes, the Holy Emperor, Liu Ce is only twenty-four years old. His children are too young and are indeed not suitable for marriage. Could it be that he would just find a woman to slap him in for excuses?

Trade and trade are a big deal, and can exchange for a large amount of supplies that Monroe ministries are in urgent need. This is much more cost-effective than tribute and robbery. I also urge the Holy Emperor not to force too much on marriage..."

"No!" Tuoba Hongye's attitude was very firm, "Business must be implemented, but he must agree to this marriage!"

He picked up the letter again, looked back and forth a few times, and glanced at the corner of his mouth: "This Liu Ce is quick-thinking, so I can do my best to him as filial to his father and son. Haha, I really dare to say that, okay, he doesn't want to marry a woman in the Central Plains to this wild land, so I will let my tribe members marry him, and see if he accepts it or not!"

Hua Buhuchi and Tuoba Si were shocked when they heard this. After a while of eyes, Tuoba Si immediately said, "Saint Emperor, what do you mean? The nobles of the Monroe Empire have never married people from Central Plains..."

But the next moment, Tuoba Hongye made Tuoba Si choked with a word and said nothing: "Then Prime Minister, why did my beloved daughter Yue'er become Huo Qing's wife? Huo Qing is also a subordinate of Liu Ce, right?

There have been precedents, I don’t care about these old customs and bad habits! Rules are just waiting for people to break them, I don’t care!”

Looking at Tuoba Si and Hua Buhuchi lowered their heads and said nothing, Tuoba Hongye continued: "What's the point of sacrificing a few women? So what if my children?

If we do not know how to adapt and do not intermarry with the sages and common people like the foolish monarchs and ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, will our Mengluo Empire have the current situation?

If a daughter can be exchanged for cooperation from a powerful man, it would be a very cost-effective transaction. Liu Ce was young and promising, and in such a short time he controlled all provinces from the Far East to the North.

I don’t feel embarrassed to cooperate with such a person. In short, this marriage must continue no matter what. He, Liu Ce, has to agree, and if he doesn’t agree, he has to agree!"

Seeing that Tuoba Hongye had made up his mind, Tuoba Si and Hua Buhuchi could only express their agreement. However, Tuoba Si raised another question: "Which princess has decided to marry Liu Ce?"

"Of course..."

Tuoba Hongye was about to blurt out, but suddenly he was stunned. Then he remembered that his daughter was either married or underage, and there was no suitable person to marry.

"Damn it, I forgot this matter..." Tuoba Hongye's embarrassment flashed a moment, "My unmarried daughter is the oldest and eleven years old. Let's talk about it, which daughter is more suitable for Liu Ce to marry..."

Tuoba Si thought about it carefully. Based on his understanding of Tuoba Hongye, among the Tuoba royal family, people who were absolutely loyal to Tuoba Hongye must be chosen to marry Liu Ce in order to avoid collusion between the two sides that threaten the throne.

After thinking for a long time, Tuoba Si's eyes lit up and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the only daughter of the Tuoba clan who meets the conditions is Tuoba Xue, but Tuoba Xue has already engaged with Murong Bao, the son of Murong Ba. And the two are childhood sweethearts, and they are young and have no guesses. The big wedding will be held next year..."

"No need to say, just her!" Tuoba Hongye immediately decided to take a photo and stood up and said to Hua Buhuchi, "The family and the country are of great importance, and the love between children is nothing. You should immediately go and tell the auxiliary prince that marriage should not be violated. Tuoba Xue is the princess of Tolan, and will prepare to marry Liu Ce on the day to

In addition, urge him to reach a trade negotiation contract with Liu Ce as soon as possible. The trade site selection office must be determined by Tuoba Yuhai himself. The faster this matter, the better. If it is delayed for a long time, it will only be very unfavorable to my Monroe Empire..."

Tuoba Si hurriedly said, "Saint Emperor, how should Murong Bao reply?"

Tuoba Hongye said indifferently: "I will discuss with the Murong Bao's people. This is the imperial order and cannot be disobeyed. This matter is decided so, you all retreat!"

"I'm going to leave..."

Hua Buhuchi and Tuoba Si respectfully left the hall gate and acted according to Tuoba Hongye's instructions...

"Liu Ce, yes..."

Tuoba Hongye picked up the letter, looked at it carefully again, and kept muttering his name.
Chapter completed!
