The hall was quiet, with the occasional sound of glasses clinking, but it suddenly became lively when the bell on Jiang Huan's ankle rang.
King Jiang never knew how to deal with Chen's envoys. Originally, the eldest prince came to discuss matters. Unexpectedly, the eldest prince fell ill today, so he had to temporarily summon the fifth princess Jiang Huan to deal with it.
"Meet the fifth princess." The envoy of Chen State bowed respectfully and then gave up the seat next to Chen Du.
Jiang Huan ignored the envoy and went straight to King Jiang to sit down.
Jiang Huan looked different from the past, but no one could tell the specifics, so they could only wait and see.
"I have met the Crown Prince of Chen." Jiang Huan bowed slightly as a sign of courtesy. Then her eyes fell on the leader, Chen Du, and she said lightly, "You are here today to discuss the issue between the two countries.
The tax issue, and the second issue is the wedding date between me and the third prince of the Chen Kingdom."
Jiang Huan waved his hand, and Mengyu handed the pile of tax details that the prince had prepared to the envoy.
But Jiang Huan raised his hand and stopped Mengyu's movement.
"Jiang State has been paying tribute to Chen State for ten years in exchange for peace between the two countries. However, this year's autumn harvest is lacking, and Jiang State's tax revenue is mediocre. Therefore, I hope to discuss this tax issue with the envoy in the long run today." Jiang Huan said this.
When he came out, almost everyone present was shocked.
Everyone knows that Jiang State's tax revenue is not good this year, so he sent envoys in advance to discuss it. Although the eldest prince was not present today, all the bamboo slips needed for the discussion were prepared in advance, and he just had to find someone to read them out.
Already.
In the previous life, this discussion only ended with reading out this book. But Jiang Huan knew that hidden inside this bamboo slip was the distribution map of Jiang's military strength.
"Seven days later, it will be my eighteenth birthday. In order to prepare for this banquet, my father recorded everything in detail, including the distribution map of Jiang's military strength that day." Jiang Huan pointed his finger.
Brushing over the scroll of bamboo slips, she stared intensely at the envoy below who was standing uneasily.
"The eldest brother has great expectations. He is the future king of the Jiang Kingdom. This time, the father and the king entrusted him with the military distribution map for safekeeping. But strangely enough, this distribution map happened to be missing today." Jiang Huan stopped speaking suddenly, and she suddenly
Overturn the bamboo slips.
The bamboo slips fell to the ground with a crash, and the distribution map wrapped in them also rolled out and stopped at the envoy's feet.
Chen Du was not intimidated by this scene. He raised his hands and said seriously, "This matter is not trivial. Please be aware of it, princess. The goodwill between Chen and Jiang has not changed. If a misunderstanding causes the two countries to quarrel,
It would be a pity to have such a rift."
What a pity.
Jiang Huan sneered, his eyes like a sharp knife trying to cut off Chen Du's flesh.
"Is it a misunderstanding? Just ask this person." Jiang Huan stepped forward and grabbed the envoy by the collar without saying a word.
She moved so fast that the envoy was dragged to the ground by Jiang Huan before he could react.
This tug was so harsh that the envoy couldn't stand firm for a moment and fell straight to the ground, losing all the politeness he was wearing just now.
"Let me ask you, did you send someone to cure the strange illness that the eldest prince suffered today?" Jiang Huan asked sharply.
