Chapter 25: Big Country Weather

When he heard that Zhao Yan wanted to lead the army in person, the envoys of the five countries were about to jump up excitedly.

As the saying goes, if a snipe and a clam fight, the fisherman will benefit.

According to the current situation, after the beginning of spring, there will inevitably be a great battle between Northern Mongolia and Great Zhou.

And at this time, it is a good opportunity to quarrel.

No matter which country the other five countries are stumbling against, they may affect the situation of war.

Next, it was time for the envoys of the five countries to report the tribute gift list.

The gifts tributed by these five countries fully implement the characteristics of the past: many and cheap.

It was obvious that I came to Dazhou to fight for the autumn wind and made a lot of money.

Like the Liuhai Kingdom, it paid tribute to more than 30 kinds of seafood. The names sound very rare, but they are not worth much money. The people along the coast of Dazhou can also capture them. The most expensive one is probably the twelve sea pearls the size of raisins.

As for Goryeo, it was even more excessive. In addition to a small ginseng as thick as a finger, he even gave him five jars of kimchi.

Kim In-jun claimed that this was made by their queen himself, and only the royal family could eat it, and it was very precious.

But no matter how precious the kimchi is, isn’t that also kimchi?

Zhao Yan didn't believe a word about Kim In-jun's words. It would be fine if it was made by Queen Goryeo, but if it were made by her, it would probably be very unpalatable.

Although the gifts from the five countries paid very ordinary tributes, Zhao Yan was not angry either. After all, he did not plan to return the gift this year.

After the five people finished reporting, Zhao Yan smiled and said, "Thank you for the tribute gifts from the five envoys. You must eat them at noon. There is nothing else to do, so let's leave!"

The envoys of the five countries were all stunned.

Is this a complete chapter?

I haven't talked about the annual monies yet!

Yebo, the special envoy of the Vientiane Kingdom, couldn't help it anymore and said in broken Chinese: "His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, have you not rewarded the annual monies yet?"

"Year-year monies? I have no money this year, so I won't give it to the year-old monies, and I probably won't give it to it in the future!" Zhao Yan said a big truth with a calm expression.

The envoys of the five countries looked as if they were ashen. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yan would not give money so directly.

Xilim's special envoy He Tianfu's eyes rolled, revealing a gleam, and said, "Your Majesty, Xilim is determined to stand on the side of the Great Zhou to fight against Northern Mongolia. Your country's actions make me feel a little disappointed!"

He Tianfu has already said it very tactfully.

If I don’t give annual monies, I will help Beimeng and make trouble on your borders.

Before Zhao Yan could speak, Gaoli's special envoy Kim In-jun also stood up and continued, "Your Majesty, I think you'd better think seriously. This year, you not only want to give me annual monies in the five countries, but you may also give me more, otherwise... Your Great Zhou may be divided up, and it will be too late to ask us again!"

Kim In-jun's words were obviously a naked threat.

He said such words in the Great Daqing Hall of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which shows that he is used to being arrogant in daily life.

"Rareless, what are you? You dare to speak so wildly!" Before Zhao Yan could speak, the military commander Yang Xinghuai, who was beside him, started to curse loudly.

Jin In-jun may have a bad look, or he may have just been stupid and bold, pointing at Yang Xinghuai and cursing: "You old guy, what qualifications do you have to say about this special envoy? I represent the monarch of our country!"

At this time, Zhao Yan suddenly stood up and said, "Even if your king comes in person and dares to insult my Great Zhou army commander like this, I will punish you severely!"

Then, Zhao Yan looked at Shen Tuyi, the commander of the imperial guards, and said, "Ten big slaps!"

Shen Tuyi was extremely excited. He held his energy and was about to take action. He took a few big steps to Kim In-jun and then grabbed the latter's collar.

He slapped him with a slap.

Bang!

Shen Tuyi's slap was big and thick, and the key was still strong. He slapped him and bleeded Jin Injun's nose.

Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!

Draw forward, draw backward, draw backward!

Shen Tu Yi's slap in the face was crisp and bright, very pleasant.

The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty were listening to pleasant music, and each of them showed happy smiles on their faces, sighing: The atmosphere of a great country should be like this, and it should be like this!

The military commander Yang Xinghuai burst into tears even more excitedly. The emperor beat foreign envoys for him, which was a glory that no official of the Great Zhou Dynasty had ever enjoyed.

After ten slaps, Kim In-jun is already half dead.

Zhao Yan looked below and said, "Jin In-jun, today, I slapped you not in the face, but in the face of your king!"

After saying that, Zhao Yan waved his hand and asked someone to carry him down.

Kim In-jun never recognized him from beginning to end, and Zhao Yan was the genius poet who wrote poems in Wanbaolou.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yan looked at the remaining envoys of the four countries and said kindly: "Four, do you have any other requirements?"

"No, no!" The envoys of the four countries shook their heads together.

"Then stay for lunch. My Dazhou has always been hospitality and will definitely treat you." Zhao Yan said with a smile.

The envoys from the four countries nodded and thanked him quickly. If they didn't eat this lunch, they would probably be slapped in the face.

Immediately afterwards, the envoys of the four countries retreated to the corner of the gate of the Great Celebration and dared not say a word.

At this moment, the ministers of the Great Zhou all expressed their joy.

As an official, they have felt the diplomatic toughness of the Great Zhou for the first time and the ambition of His Majesty the Emperor.

Therefore, in the following speeches of the ministers, it almost turned into an inspirational speech by the ministers to make achievements for the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as an intimate dialogue between the king and the ministers.

Zhao Yan talked and laughed with the ministers, from people's livelihood to military, from business to taxation, from sesame big things to policy discussions on governing the country.

No matter what he talks about, Zhao Yan can answer questions and even put forward unique insights. He is good at listening and asking questions when he doesn't understand.

Such an emperor is naturally deeply loved by the ministers.

The directors of the two museums, Pan Wenyue, stroked his beard with a proud look on his face. Only he knew best that His Majesty, this emperor, seemed to be childish, but in fact he had a world in his heart, and his learning and comprehension abilities were far beyond the reach of people.

For a time, in the Daqing Hall, the sage king and good ministers were in peace.

The atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Xiao Jingye, Yang Xinghuai, and Kong Moshan looked at each other and smiled, and they all understood each other's thoughts.

From today on, the Great Zhou is no longer the Great Zhou of the past. And this little emperor has completely firmly held his throne.

The envoys of the five countries stood in the forgotten corner with a lonely face. After they returned, they would inevitably be scolded.

At noon, the banquet started and the inside and outside of the imperial city was lively.

After Zhao Yan drank the first glass of wine, the people outside the imperial city also began to gather to celebrate. The streets and alleys were filled with people and a prosperous area.

Many years later, when some ministers recalled this day, they couldn't help but feel extremely moved.
