Chapter 1085 It's the hardest thing to carry an old man
Finally, the king of ancient Shu came to the capital. Brahma Tianli left the city one day early, followed the emperor to Beijing the next day, and stayed directly in the post house.
Although it is no secret that he came to the capital in advance, and he even appeared publicly in the palace. But it was in a private capacity after all, and it was not considered a formal state visit. In addition, Emperor Tianwu was poisoned at that time, so he could not
Conduct reception.
But this time, Dashun had a prince who was supervising the country. When Xuan Tianfeng learned that Brahma Tianli Yujia had moved into the post house, he immediately sent an invitation to him. On the morning of the next day, Brahma Tianli came to visit him as the ancient king of Shu.
As the current king of ancient Shu, he entered the palace, and in front of all the courtiers, he kowtowed to the prince of the prison country as the current king of ancient Shu, and once again stated his position that ancient Shu was a small country attached to Dashun, and expressed his position.
During his reign, ancient Shu will always have great success.
Some people whispered that the reason why the ancient Shu king lowered his profile was because he wanted to marry Princess Wuyang. After all, the two were often together these days. Anyone who pays attention to the trends in the court and the capital will know about this. Such an idea exists in
In my heart, the bowing behavior of the ancient Shu king made people feel a little insincere. No one can guarantee whether he will change his mind once Princess Wuyang gets married.
So someone questioned this point, and Brahma was not angry at leaving. He just smiled bitterly and said: "In ancient Shu, I have seen the power of Dashun's army, and the thunder of His Royal Highness, and also lost many buildings under the bombardment of thunder.
City. Ancient Shu was a small country, but it also had its own small world. We didn’t want to lose this world, so we surrendered to Dashun. When the late emperor was in power, he once said that he had listened to the slander of the former general Bi Xiu.
Being an enemy of Dashun was the biggest mistake he had made in his many years in power. Gu Bu believed that he could stand up to Dashun's Tianlei after he came to power, so Gu Shu had no choice but to surrender to Dashun.
, is the most correct choice.”
What he said was reasonable and considered a very rational analysis, but there were still people in the court who felt uncomfortable listening to it, so they said sourly: "You mean, if there is no thunder in Dashun, Gu Shu will not surrender."
Already?"
Brahma Tianli asked: "If Dashun is not so powerful, why should he regain the four kingdoms?"
"you……"
"I am just explaining the fact that any powerful country has its affiliated states, and the reason why those states choose to rely on them is because they are not stronger than the other party, and they must rely on the other party's blessing to better maintain the national destiny and better
Survive. Gu Shu was indeed frightened by Dashun, and the losses he suffered could not be restored within nearly a hundred years. On behalf of Gu Shu, Gu showed weakness to Dashun. This is the magnanimity that a foreign king should have. At the same time,
It is also a wise move." He said very calmly, "Of course, if one day Dashun is defeated to the point where it is even worse than Gu Shu, then Gu Shu will naturally no longer be its vassal. By then, not only Gu Shu, but also other small countries will
It will be the same choice. Therefore, gentlemen, if you have doubts about whether Gu is sincere, why not think carefully about how to maintain and continue to develop Dashun's national destiny and national prestige. Whether a small country will rebel depends entirely on whether Dashun continues.
Keep getting stronger.”
Some courtiers were not convinced by his words, but the two prime ministers on the left and right took the lead in applauding him. Even the right prime minister even took the initiative to say: "The king of ancient Shu is right, he wants to let
If others will always rely on you, you must ensure that you are always ahead of others. When the king speaks, he will be taught."
Brahma Tianli quickly saluted, "Your Majesty, your words are serious."
The formal meeting with the king of ancient Shu was not pleasant, but it was also the most basic way of communication between the two countries. Later that night, the sixth prince Xuan Tianfeng held a banquet in the side hall of the Jade Palace, inviting Emperor Tianwu, the Queen,
The princes and concubines, Prince Wenxuan and his wife, and Princess Wuyang Xuantiange were also present. This banquet was regarded as a family banquet, different from a state visit, and was held in the name of thanking Brahma Tianli for saving Emperor Tianwu.
In this name, Emperor Tianwu had to attend in person. What's more, when he heard that Brahma Tianli wanted to marry Xuantiange, he felt even more angry and wanted to mess up the marriage. So,
He attended this family banquet with a mission, so no matter what the Queen tried to persuade him before, the anger was still on his face, which was very ugly.
Emperor Tianwu can basically move independently now, but he can't walk too fast. There is no problem in pacing slowly.
Since it was a family banquet, there was not so much detail. Everyone was sitting together on a large table. Brahma Tianli was next to Xuantianfeng, and he was separated from Emperor Tianwu by the family of King Wenxuan and Xuantiange.
Sitting next to Emperor Tianwu, the two of them exchanged glances from time to time. The woman's face was filled with shyness, which made King Wenxuan sigh in his heart: It's true that women are not allowed to be left behind!
Emperor Tianwu was really grateful for Brahma Tianli's rescue. In any case, leaving aside Xuantiange's incident, Brahma Tianli could be regarded as saving his life. And this was not just
Saving him can be regarded as saving Dashun, otherwise he would have been passed down to Lao Ba in a confused way, and the Liu family would have been made the queen mother in a confused way. From now on, Dashun would be the world of their two mothers, which is creepy to think about.
.
He substituted tea for wine, picked up the tea cup and said to Brahma: "I heard that the king of ancient Shu personally cured my poison, and I have always been grateful for this. Ancient Shu and Dashun were first vassal states, and then became vassal states.
I am an enemy country, but I didn’t expect that when I was in trouble, the king of ancient Shu came to rescue me. I kept this kindness in my heart and could not repay it. Today I will make the decision. From now on, within fifty years, ancient Shu will
Shu does not need to pay annual tribute to me, Dashun. Every year, I will receive Dashun’s support for the people of ancient Shu. This is my gratitude to you."
When Brahma Tianli heard this, he quickly stood up and thanked him. For an ancient Shu who had just experienced a war, being able to pay fifty years of annual tribute was a great grace. You must know that annual tribute is not just money;
It means that the best things from ancient Shu will be sent to Dashun, including the Five Treasures cloth and the most precious medicinal materials in the desert. Not to mention, Sui Gong means bowing down and flattering every year.
Gifts, and once ancient Shu gets the honor of exempting tribute, it will gain great status and prestige among the countries in the desert. It will have a lot of hidden help in improving the national destiny, and the benefits are immeasurable.
He stood up and thanked him sincerely. But after he finished thanking him, he didn't want to deal with it any more, and he didn't want to talk about other things. So he made a decision immediately and spoke directly to Emperor Tianwu: "I am here alone.
I came to Dashun firstly to relieve the emperor's crisis, and secondly because I have a merciless request, hoping that the emperor can fulfill Gu Gu's wish."
"Oh." Emperor Tianwu raised his eyelids to look at him, his face suddenly dimmed, no longer as sincere as when he just thanked others. He asked Brahma Tianli, "Are you going to marry my only niece?"
"The Emperor's Holy Ming, Gu, has this intention." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Xuan Tiange and said, "This marriage proposal is not an act of reconciliation between the two countries, but a deep-seated love for His Highness Princess Gu.
The emperor can agree."
These words made Xuan Tiange and Feng Yuheng almost vomit! Their love is so deep! Can Brahma Tianli say such a thing?
Feng Yuheng asked Xuan Tianming in a low voice, "If it were you, could you say these four words that offend Ba Xin?"
Xuan Tianming shook his head, "Of course I won't. My wife has been engaged to me since she was a child, and she can't run away."
"What if there is no engagement?"
"Then it's hard to say. In order to deceive my wife, I said a few disgusting words to outsiders. I don't think I will suffer any loss."
Feng Yuheng felt that her husband had changed. In the past, the cool Xuan Tianming would never have said such a thing. Even now, he would never say it in front of outsiders. But the two of them
When they are together, Xuan Tianming will put aside his evil charm and pride, and do everything possible to cater to her. She thought, this is the unique way for two people to get along, right? People who love each other always feel better when they are together.
It is different from what it is to outsiders. 22*2 Pavilion 2,
As expected, Fan Tianli's words successfully disgusted Emperor Tianwu, and the old emperor's way of expressing his disgust was to get angry and furious! He suddenly slammed the table and knocked down all the dishes in front of him.
He jumped up after filming, and then said angrily: "How dare you! You used the incident of me being poisoned to threaten the princess to marry. What are you thinking about?"
Brahma Tianli was mentally prepared for this and did not get angry. He still spoke calmly. He said: "An is a sincere heart that wants to marry Princess Wuyang, and this heart has nothing to do with whether the emperor is bewitched or not.
Even if this didn't happen, I would still come to Dashun and hire Princess Wuyang."
Emperor Tianwu blew his beard and glared at Brahma Tianli, staring at him intently, trying to find flaws in him. However, looking at him, he felt that there was something familiar to him in this young ancient Shu man.
That feeling came from his ninth son, who was full of evil and infinitely arrogant and willful, but at the same time he was cold on the outside and hot on the inside, infinitely loyal and down-to-earth.
He suddenly felt that this might be a good boy, and just like his Ming'er, once he married his wife, he would be very nice to his wife, and the two of them would play music and grow old together.
When he thought of growing old together, he felt sentimental again. These four words were easy to say, but how difficult it was to actually do them! Throughout his life, he wanted to find someone to grow old with, and finally found him.
, but let himself destroy it. So, in fact, he was willing to fulfill the love of young people from the bottom of his heart. He even thought that Xuan Tiange did not want to marry someone for Dashun, as long as she liked whoever she liked, even the most
For the most ordinary young man, as long as two people truly love each other, he can give that person the most noble honor of being a prince-in-law.
I just didn't expect that someone would finally come to ask for marriage today, and this person wanted to take his favorite niece to the distant ancient Shu, to that vast desert.
He sighed bitterly and looked at Xuan Tiange beside him, but when he saw a little hope and determination in the child's eyes, he knew that he might not be able to keep him. He opened his mouth and asked sadly: "Tiange has gone to ancient times."
Shu, can Uncle Huang see you again before he dies?"
