Under the bright moonlight, Meng Yaru, wearing a black veil, walked out of the mansion. A pair of gemstone earrings shone with a warm luster. She got into the animal cart waiting outside, and headed outside the city in the night to inform her adoptive father.
The adoptive mother's news about Qiu Yu's arrival.
Through the veil, you can vaguely see her beautiful face with a crimson color. She is holding her cheeks in her hands and thinking deeply, with a smile on her beautiful lips...
There was a faint fragrance floating in the mansion, but the beauty left, but it left a unique smell, which also made Qiu Yu smile on his face. He felt that the little ambiguity just now was quite fun. When he put on the earrings, the beautiful girl blushed.
Apple is so beautiful!
This time, Qiu Yu shouldered a heavy responsibility, especially when the Chu State sent people to propose marriage, which made him even more cautious. He felt that it would be better for his parents to visit him later, so he asked Meng Yaru to go over and summon him. As for himself, he would have to go there tomorrow.
When I go to see the King of Qin, I must do my best to prevent the marriage between Chu and Qin, otherwise the state of Yan will be in a bad situation, but what excuse can I use?
After thinking for a long time, Qiu Yu only came up with a crooked idea, which could be regarded as a delaying strategy, and then fell asleep.
The next morning, officials led Qiu Yu into the palace. Of course, they could not bring all the cavalry with them. There were only hundreds of people marching on the streets surrounded by the commander. The group of officers and soldiers were brightly armored and majestic, attracting many people to stop and watch. They also knew
It turns out that this is an envoy from the State of Yan, and his official position is not small, he is a second-rank official.
The majestic imperial palace is located in the center of Kyoto. Inside the magnificent hall, sitting on the throne is the majestic King of Qin, wearing a jade crown and a dragon robe. His eyes seem to have penetrating capabilities, making people shudder.
There were hundreds of civil and military officials on both sides. They watched the Yan envoy enter the palace. What they saw was a young man wearing official uniform walking over, followed by four attendants. He couldn't help but be surprised. Is this the envoy?
All the officials looked at each other in confusion, but King Qin was not surprised, and had some admiration in his eyes, because he already knew the identity of the envoy and had heard about the other party's deeds.
There is no doubt that Qiu Yu has become the focus of the civil and military attention of the entire court. He has seen so many big scenes that he came up to him without any pressure, bowed and saluted: "Qiu Yu, the envoy of the State of Yan, pays homage to His Majesty the King of Qin."
The King of Qin looked at it carefully, nodded and said: "Without courtesy, it turns out that you are the new commander-in-chief of the Western Route Army of the State of Yan. I have long heard that you have great military achievements and that you put down King Yun's rebellion not long ago. Now when I see you, you are indeed young and capable.
It’s worth emulating.”
Everyone suddenly realized that this man was the rumored young commander of the Yan State. Now that they had seen it with their own eyes, they couldn't help but marvel at his youth. At the same time, they were suspicious. Could he be so capable? It is estimated that Princess Yanshan was the one who put down the rebellion.
He is a great hero, so he just takes the credit.
In the eyes of the civil and military officials, as the saying goes, one person can ascend to heaven after the new King Yan ascends the throne. Princess Yanshan will have the power to control the government. Naturally, she cannot treat her adopted son badly, so she entrusts Qiu Yu with the post of commander-in-chief. This kid came up through nepotism.
You may not have much ability.
There are even some guys with dirty intentions. Princess Yanshan has been widowed for many years and is at the age of a wolf and a tiger. How can she guard an empty house alone? Maybe this guy is the face of the other party. He served the princess well and was promoted to a high position.
Based on this, many officials looked at Qiu Yu with disdain and contempt in their eyes, thinking that this person had no real talent and knowledge at all, and was just a person who wasted his reputation.
Qiu Yu raised his head and said, "Thank you for your compliment, Your Majesty. The two countries of Yan and Qin have always been on good terms. Now that the new king of Yan has ascended the throne, I specially asked you to come and visit me. I hope that the two countries will live in friendship for generations. Please accept the small gift."
As he waved, the four attendants behind him came forward with trays, lifted the red cloth covering them, and the gifts were revealed. They were a pair of fist-sized emerald watermelons, and a luminous pearl as big as an egg.
Shenghui, a white jade belt with dragon patterns, and a pure gold cornucopia one foot in diameter inlaid with precious stones.
Seeing these gifts, all the civil and military officials were attracted, feeling that no matter which one they were, they were rare and extremely precious. It seemed that the Yan State was very sincere.
The four gifts all came from the Yan treasury and were carefully selected and specially approved by Princess Yanshan. Since you want to alliance with the Qin State, you have to be generous, so that it seems sincere enough.
The King of Qin was not overjoyed by the precious gifts from the State of Yan. For him, gold, silver and jewelry were commonplace items. What he cared about was the country, the country, and how he could make the State of Qin stronger and its territory boundless.
"Prince Yan is too polite. In that case, I will accept it."
As the King of Qin waved his hand, only a few eunuchs stepped forward to collect the gifts. Qiu Yu added: "There is another thing. The King of Yan has heard about the name of Princess Qingxin of the Qin Kingdom for a long time. He knows that the princess is naturally beautiful and has an unparalleled appearance. He admires her very much and specially ordered me to come here to propose marriage.
, I hope your majesty can marry Princess Qingxin to our majesty, King Yan."
As soon as these words came out, many people in the hall were surprised. Unexpectedly, the prince of Chu State just came to propose marriage two days ago, and now King Yan also sent someone to propose marriage. It seems that Princess Qingxin is so famous that both of them
The country is rushing to marry the princess. For the Qin State, this is also an honor.
Qiu Yu is really brave. In order to completely destroy the marriage between Chu and Qin, he actually took the initiative to propose marriage to King Yan. This was also a bad idea he came up with last night, and it was also a delaying tactic.
Since the King of Qin intended to betroth Qingxin to the prince of Chu, he had no choice but to take a big move. Qiu Yu had also considered whether to propose marriage on his own, but he and Qingxin were only good friends, and their weight was not enough compared to the prince of Chu. Only Qiuyu
Move out the chess piece of King Yan and try to succeed.
Of course, Qiu Yu also knows that the virtues of King Yan Jicheng are not worthy of the beautiful Qin Qingxin, and his move is just to destroy Chu's plan first. As for the future, there is still room for mediation, so let's talk about it later.
.
I'm afraid Qiu Yu is the only minister who can directly decide the king's marriage. No one can be as bold as him, and he makes decisive decisions without delay.
Even when he said this decision, Qiu Yu felt guilty in his heart, "I'm sorry, sister Qingxin, I just want to push you into the fire pit. In fact, the prince of Chu is not that good either, and King Yan is also a bear."
But fortunately, I can control him. If you really don't want to get married in the future, I will find another way.
King Qin was also surprised, but he was also moved in his heart. If there were more choices, it would not be a bad thing. It seems that Great Qin plays a very important role in these two countries! He nodded, "Thanks to King Yan
I am deeply gratified by your love. Logically speaking, this is a beautiful thing, but it is a pity that the Crown Prince of Chu has already proposed to Princess Qingxin in advance."
