1249. Chapter 1249: 1249 My heart is crooked and I pay attention
The box opened with a creak. The floating grass on it was peeled off, and a layer of wood was exposed...
The emperor's eyelids frowned, what's going on?
The envoy noticed that the emperor's expression was wrong. He looked at the box and saw the wood. He also frowned. He didn't say to add more wood when he came. He asked the people next to him to take down this layer of wood. He thought everyone would be there below.
The long-awaited musket, I didn’t expect it to be a layer of wood...
Your Majesty no longer has so much patience!
The envoy was anxious! He squatted down and took the wood aside, regardless of the rules and appearance. Layer after layer, there was wood...
All the way to the bottom of the box! Not a single musket was found!
"Is this your country's sincere greeting gift?" The emperor began to get angry! "Are your country deliberately playing tricks on me? Isn't this very interesting?"
The emperor became more and more angry as he talked. In front of all the ministers, he sent me a box of wood!! Where can I put my face!
"Your Majesty, I'm sorry, we did have ten muskets loaded when we came here. It must be, it must be...ah..." The envoy suddenly realized, isn't he the one who is the best in the world! It must be something they did. Who knows if it's a ghost or not.
I feel like I’ve lost my bag!
"Envoy from the Mingyue Kingdom, if you don't give me an explanation, I'm afraid I'll have to send someone to send your head back." The emperor was very unhappy because he was being treated like a monkey.
"Now, I won't hide it anymore. On the way to the western suburbs, before entering the capital, we were ambushed by two martial arts masters. But I didn't expect them to steal muskets. I thought they were just challenging the masters accompanying me.
." said the envoy.
"Martial arts master? Do you think I will believe what you say? Are you putting the responsibility for things you didn't bring on the great dynasty? The security of our capital is stable, and there are no rebellious officials or traitors to cause trouble." The emperor said unhappily.
"I don't dare to talk nonsense. Everyone can testify. I believe your majesty will clearly understand. In addition, I really brought a musket when I came. I will guarantee it with my head on my neck." The envoy was also very scared.
This is more serious than losing a box of gold, not only because it is worth more than gold, but also because she is a betrothal gift. Without it, the princess cannot be taken away. Failure to take the princess away means that an alliance has not been formed. This is not in vain.
A trip?
"Send the distinguished guests to the post house to rest first and retire from the court." The emperor announced. It was a frustrating day...
When the lobby was quiet, the emperor began to think alone. If he really encountered a robber and took away the musket, it might not be a good thing...
Because on the one hand, I can send people to find the robbers and get the guns without anyone noticing. I believe that no robber would dare to go against the imperial court. As for the envoy from Mingyue Kingdom, I told him that he could not be found and asked him to
They sent muskets again, this time it was not ten, but at least fifteen or twenty. They were embarrassed to send ten, otherwise the princess would not be able to marry, and this alliance would not be formed, and they also had
Conceal and not report...
The emperor thought for a while, stood up for himself, and decided like this.
The next day, the emperor urgently recalled Ye who was on vacation.
"I have told you what happened. You are responsible for finding the robbers and getting the muskets back. You and I know this matter. If you need anything, just say it. If necessary, you can do it cheaply. You have the right to make the decision.
"The key is to get the thing without anyone noticing, do you understand?" the emperor asked.
