Chapter 204 Rejection
Lu Yan came out of the palace and felt the seriousness of the situation.
After the King of Qin was given a crown, he married his wife, and all the six countries were watching. There was only one relative in Qin's surname, Mi, and other countries except Chu did not want to see such a situation.
Qi State was preparing to send the princess to the show on the grounds of deepening trade exchanges.
South Korea was originally afraid that Qin State would pursue Lao Ai, so it would most likely send her daughter to express her surrender.
Yan State was beaten so hard that it could not be raised. Apart from begging Qin, he was desperate. The King of Yan had already given a prince, and it was a slight idea to give him another princess.
As for Zhao and Wei, the relationship is too tense, so I won’t talk about it for now.
"I, the first tutor who just took office, have become the eye of the storm of competition among all forces. What's the matter..."
He could already foresee that in the next days, the threshold of the National Teacher's Mansion would be broken by foreign envoys.
"No! You can't get involved in this pile of things both public and private."
Lu Yan didn't feel that Ying Zheng would feel no knots when he had many foreign princesses in his family. This time he had to find a way to block all these crazy bees, waves and butterflies.
"Liang Yi, call everyone over."
When he walked into the National Master's Mansion, he did not delay and immediately asked someone to discuss matters.
Soon, the family got together and when they heard Lu Yan finish these things, they all looked strange.
Ju Shuang had two clusters of willow eyebrows, smiling, "In other words, young master, are you going to refuse marriage this time?"
Lu Yan was powerless to refute, "What's the matter of refusing marriage... We can't get involved in this kind of thing anyway."
Yifang was very straightforward, "Since the King of Qin doesn't want you to pay attention to these people, what else do you care about? Just refuse them all."
Lu Yan rolled his eyes and said, "You are relaxed. The king does want me to reject all marriages. But the surname Mi and Qi have to worry about their face. Otherwise, why do you think the king throws the decision on this hot matter to me?"
Only then did Gu Shuang understand the reason for his headache, and she snorted with dissatisfaction, "The King of Qin is concerned about Empress Dowager Huayang and the face of Qi, so she pushed you, the person involved."
Lu Yan looked at the people with great enthusiasm. He never thought that he would encounter such a thing.
"Think about it, what reason is more appropriate to refuse?"
Xianxian, who has always had a low presence, spoke for the first time: "Young Master, you are now in the prime of your life, and you are deeply trusted by the King of Qin. I am afraid that you can escape the first day of the lunar month, or the fifteenth day of the lunar month. The engagement has always been decided by parents and elders, and the young master may be able to ask Master Xun to come forward to solve it."
Lu Yan tilted his head when he heard this.
Using the teacher as a shield? It seems feasible.
Suddenly, Liang Yi's voice came from outside, "Sir, the envoy of Qi State, Mr. Mao Jiao is here to visit."
Lu Yan's face suddenly turned cold.
Mao Jiao, a famous guy, will definitely be difficult to deal with.
It is said that after the original Lao Ai Rebellion, Empress Dowager Zhao Ji was insulted by Ying Zheng and was driven to Yongcheng and was not allowed to return to Xianyang. Lu Buwei was dismissed from prefecture, and people at home and abroad were panic.
Someone persuaded Ying Zheng to welcome the empress dowager back. Ying Zheng was furious and killed twenty-seven ministers in a row. It was Mao Jiao who was the 28th to convince Ying Zheng and finally welcomed Zhao Ji back to Xianyang.
This story has an artistic processing element, but the protagonist Mao Jiao, as a native of Qi, actively participated in the internal struggles between Qin. In addition to being able to do so, Qi must also have support later.
Lu Yan didn't understand the profound meaning behind this story before, but now he has understood, but the fire has also hit him.
He stood up and shouted, "I'll come now."
In the living room, Lu Yan met this visitor from Qi. He was wearing dark gray official uniform and bright red collar. His face was square and had short beards. Although his eyes were small, he was energetic.
The two met and saluted each other.
"Mao Jiao has met the National Normal University."
"Mr. Mao Jiao."
"Lu Zi is in front of you, Jiao dare not be the name of Mr.
"Haha, sir is too modest. At this time, sir is responsible for the trade between Qin and Qi. How could he have time to come to my national teacher's residence?"
"As a lieutenant today, who doesn't want to witness the style of the National Master with his own eyes?" Mao Jiao made a polite sentence at the end, and then he got to the point. "However, it's not to be hiding the National Master, Jiao does have important matters to discuss."
"But it's okay."
"Qin and Qi trade have opened a convenient door to trade. The two countries have different relationships. Our king is better to form an alliance with the princess Guili and the King of Qin."
"The diplomatic relations between the two countries benefit the country and the people, which seems to have little to do with Lu Yan."
"Princess Guixiu was closest to Princess Guili since childhood, and she was in the same age as her father. My king heard that the national teacher is famous and has a great relationship with our Qi State, so he wanted to give Princess Guixiu to the national teacher so that the two princesses could take care of her in Qin State."
And the hairpin!
Yes! I haven't performed the crown ritual yet. According to the etiquette, I can't marry a wife.
Lu Yan has always left this matter behind his mind. When he heard someone sending his daughter, he suddenly remembered it.
"I am ashamed of the good intentions of the King of Qi. Lu Yan was eighteen years old and had not held a ceremony for the crown. It is contrary to the etiquette and law to marry a wife at this time."
Mao Jiao was prepared and showed a sincere expression. "Jiao had been lucky enough to get guidance from Master Xun at Jixia Academy. Before going to Qin this time, he also visited him. The national teacher's "Records of Hangu Library" and Brother Li Si's "Recommendation of Exile of Guests", Master Xun was very happy. If the national teacher agrees, Jiao will immediately return to Qi to ask Master Xun, and the national teacher will also ask for the order and perform the ceremony."
?You think so thoughtfully!
As far as he talked about this, Lu Yan simply made it clear, "It's not to be hiding it. Lu Yan already has something to do. He dares not to let the princess of Qi be condescending. The King of Qi is so kind, I can only refuse! If there is nothing else, please come back."
Mao Jiao was a little stunned.
No, you just said you couldn't get married, but you had something to do with me when you backhanded?
He asked seriously: "The national teacher is willing to refuse, just say it directly. Why do you have to find a reason to make excuses?"
The other party was not malicious in giving away the girl, and Lu Yan was no longer polite, "Sir, since you are such a kingly destiny, do you really not see the mystery behind it?"
Mao Jiao was speechless for a moment, and anyone with a discerning eye knew the attitude of the King of Qin towards his relatives. Qi State only targeted Lu Yan in order to give his own power to speak in Qin. However, it was harmful to Lu Yan himself but no benefit.
"Whether it is Qi, Chu, or Han, or Yan, Lu Yan will refuse to find the National Master's Mansion for this matter. In this way, sir can also reply to the King of Qi."
Seeing that Lu Yan's attitude was firm and his intention to expel the guests was obvious, Mao Jiao had to bow his farewell.
Lu Yan's chest was fluctuating. In this era, it was the first time that he had personally plunged into marriage politics and felt extremely uncomfortable.
He thought for a while and decided to be willful.
"Liang Yi, where is the most lively tavern in Xianyang City?"
Liang Yi replied: "The Walker's Restaurant is close to the Six Kingdoms Inn, and there are many people coming and going. Sir, don't you like to drink? What do you do?"
When Lu Yan heard this, he made a decision, "The people of the six countries gathered together, and it was all. I will explode it in the past two days."
