Emperor Hongyuan looked at Chu Xuanchen and said, "King Li, I heard that the eldest prince of Xueyue Kingdom is also here with you?"
"Yes." Chu Xuanchen said immediately, "Your Majesty, to show your sincerity in forming an alliance, the eldest prince has been waiting outside with many gifts, just waiting for the Emperor to summon you!"
When he heard that they had brought gifts, Emperor Hongyuan's face looked a little better.
After all, you can’t reach out to hit a smiling person, let alone a smiling person with a gift.
He then said: "Well, let's invite him to see you."
"Prince Xuan has an audience." Eunuch Xu immediately shouted at the top of his lungs.
Not long after he finished shouting, a group of people wearing Xueyue Kingdom costumes walked in outside the hall.
Among them, Xue Wuxia, dressed in purple, walked at the front, and behind him were a group of guards who stared intently.
The guards all held various gift boxes in their hands, and the formation looked very huge.
After Xue Wuxia walked in, she put her hands on her chest, leaned forward slightly, and saluted Emperor Hongyuan, "Xue Wuxia, the envoy of Xueyue Kingdom, pays homage to His Majesty."
"No courtesy!" Emperor Hongyuan said politely, "First Prince, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon!"
Xue Wuxia nodded lightly, "Yes, this shows that our country and Chu State have a deep fate."
As he spoke, he continued: "Your Majesty, Chu State borders Xueyue State, and our country's princess Ruoyue has married your country's Prince Li as his concubine. The marriage between these two countries is like brothers, and they are one family. In order to protect the two countries,
In order to maintain the friendly relations between the two countries, the Queen of our country specially ordered me to bring some treasures to Your Majesty, hoping to form an alliance with the Chu State to form an alliance that will be friendly and help each other for generations."
Having said this, he looked at the guards behind him and said, "Come here, bring the treasure!"
"Yes." After the guards finished speaking, they stepped forward and opened the gift boxes in their hands.
The moment the gift box was opened, bursts of bright golden light emerged.
I saw all kinds of jewelry displayed inside. These jewelry were sparkling, and each of them was a rare thing, making everyone envious and jealous.
This Xueyue Kingdom is really generous and actually gave Emperor Hongyuan such a precious gift.
When Emperor Hongyuan saw these treasures, he froze instantly.
Xueyue Kingdom actually donated so many precious treasures to him, which shows that Xueyue Kingdom is very sincere in forming an alliance.
Seeing these treasures made him feel elated and in a good mood.
He immediately smiled and said: "First Prince, the Queen is too polite!"
Xue Wuxia said: "The queen's move is also her sincere hope that our two countries can have a good relationship forever and be of the same mind forever."
"Okay! Well said, the eldest prince!" Emperor Hongyuan stood up and walked down the steps as soon as he was in a good mood.
As he walked towards Xue Wuxia, he said cordially: "First Prince, Xue Yue Kingdom is so sincere, how can I please your country? The First Prince is right, our two countries border on each other, and Princess Li is the princess of your country.
, we are really close to each other, as close as a family."
Having said this, he turned around, looked at the courtiers, and said proudly: "Well, from now on, our Chu State will form an alliance with the Xueyue State, and the two countries will form a friendship that lasts for generations and will be like a family. From now on, we will help each other.
, mutual benefit and reciprocity, and jointly maintain the friendly relations between the two parties."
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty." All the ministers immediately congratulated in unison.
Hearing everyone's congratulations, Emperor Hongyuan stroked the stubble on his chin, feeling very proud of himself.
Seeing such a result, Chu Xuanchen frowned. It seemed that Emperor Hongyuan would not blame him anymore!
At this time, everyone was saying congratulations.
Emperor Hongyuan glanced at Chu Xuanchen secretly. He originally wanted to find an excuse to punish Chu Xuanchen, but now in this situation, he had to put aside what happened before.
However, even if Chu Xuanchen was not punished, he had already thought of a way to deal with him.
At this time, Taishi Li said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty for gaining another iron-clad ally. This credit belongs to His Highness King Li and the two generals. Your Majesty, since His Highness Prince Li and the two generals have made meritorious service, do I dare to ask,
Is it possible for them to give up their merits and exempt them from punishment?"
When everyone heard this, they immediately stared at Emperor Hongyuan nervously.
After Emperor Hongyuan thought for a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Master Li is right, King Li and the two generals have made meritorious deeds, so they can be regarded as exonerating their merits. In this way, for the sake of the alliance between the two countries, I will
Forgive them three of their sins."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Xuanchen and the others immediately saluted with their hands raised.
At this moment, Dong Changfeng and Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief.
Because they led troops out of Beijing privately, they committed a serious crime of beheading.
The emperor can worry about Chu Xuanchen, but he doesn't need to worry about them, so they have been very nervous just now, for fear of being convicted.
But now that the two countries had formed an alliance, Emperor Hongyuan was in a good mood and pardoned their sins. The heavy stone that was weighing on them was finally removed, and they suddenly felt relaxed.
When King Yan and others saw this result, they all looked dissatisfied.
But no matter how dissatisfied they were, they did not dare to ruin Emperor Hongyuan's interest at this time.
So they had to suppress the anger in their hearts and join everyone in congratulating Emperor Hongyuan.
King Yan glared at Chu Xuanchen fiercely.
This Chu Xuanchen is really an invincible Xiaoqiang.
It's really unfair that he could be easily acquitted of such a serious crime.
At this time, Emperor Hongyuan glanced at everyone, and finally turned his attention to King Xian and Chu Xuanchen.
After he glanced at the Xian Wang, he looked at Chu Xuanchen and said: "This time, thanks to King Li, I can make an ally like Xueyue Kingdom. King Li has made great contributions, and I should reward him!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Does Emperor Hongyuan still want to reward Chu Xuanchen?
Chu Xuanchen committed such a serious crime. If he didn't punish Chu Xuanchen, he would have already given Chu Xuanchen face. Now he wants to reward him. What does he mean?
When Chu Xuanchen heard what Emperor Hongyuan said, he also felt a little strange.
Logically speaking, it was already considered a good thing that the emperor did not punish him, so why would he reward him additionally?
He always felt that there was a mystery in it.
He immediately stepped forward and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty, but this alliance is not due to me, but to the Emperor. It is the Emperor's wisdom and prowess that made the queen form an alliance with Chu, so I dare not receive any reward."
"
"Hey! Xuan Chen, after all, it's all because of you that Xueyue Kingdom formed an alliance with me, so of course I have to reward you, but you must not refuse." After Emperor Hongyuan waved his hand, he said in a deep voice,
"Xuanchen, over the years, you have worked hard for Chu State and made many great contributions. Thank you for your hard work!"
"I don't dare, this is what I should do." Chu Xuanchen's heart thumped, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"No, you have been really tired over the years and you should take some rest. In this way, I will give you a large fief. This fief is in the South Vietnam region. There are seven counties in this fief. It covers a wide area.
, the land is fertile and the people are simple. I am giving it to you now, and you must manage it well and help me guard the South Vietnam region." Emperor Hongyuan said with dignity.
