Envoy from Beichu

"Hey, why did you come here at this hour today?"

After more than a month of training, the craftsmen, under her careful guidance, have completely figured out how to operate the construction team.

We generally understand what construction companies will mainly do in the future.

Of course, the operation method here is not as sophisticated as that of later generations, and it is really difficult for these people to play if it is too sophisticated.

After teaching these people well, Lu Yaoyao became more relaxed.

In the afternoon, Lu Yaoyao and the eldest princess were sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. Although it was already autumn, the sun was shining today, so it was not too cold.

The two were chatting first when King Jin walked in from outside.

In the past period of time, King Jin almost always dined at Chengyuan Villa, but today he came a little too late.

"There is something going on at the imperial court, and the emperor summoned me to discuss it with other ministers."

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yaoyao and the eldest princess were both stunned.

"I haven't heard of anything big happening in Dongzhou recently?"

"What to discuss?"

Now the Lu family's business has spread. Although it is far from covering the whole country, there are Lu family business signs in many big places.

There is also a lot of information collected.

"There is an urgent report from the north to be sent to the capital. Bei Chu will send envoys to our place."

"Beichu?"

Lu Yaoyao was startled, frowned and asked, "Aren't we feuding? We don't usually interact with each other, so why did they suddenly send envoys here?"

"I'm not sure about the specifics. Anyway, it's because the people here are evil. These guys are all arguing about whether to let the envoy from Beichu come over."

"If you want to come over, just come over. What's there to discuss?"

As soon as she said this, the eldest princess beside her smiled and shook her head and said, "Yao Yao doesn't know the real reason for the feud between Beichu and Dongzhou, right?"

"I know something, but it doesn't mean that the previous dynasty was corrupt. The emperor was arrogant and extravagant, which aroused public resentment and caused chaos among all the heroes."

"Bei Chu is one of them, and the Taizu of Dongzhou is a descendant of the clan of the previous dynasty. Speaking of which, our Dongzhou is justified, and Bei Chu belongs to the rebellious officials and traitors."

The eldest princess nodded and said, "Everyone knows these."

"Actually, there are still some problems here that the people don't know about."

"oh?"

Lu Yaoyao became interested.

"Actually, the biggest hatred between Dongzhou and Beichu is not as rumored outside, but because they compete for status."

"Name? Could it be that you mean Bei Chu?"

"Yes, in fact, the Northern Chu royal family is also a descendant of the previous dynasty."

"Why do you say their surname is Xiao?"

The eldest princess shook her head.

"Yes and no."

"There was so much chaos at the end of the First Dynasty, and the royal family was in danger, so many people changed their faces and fled the capital."

"The first emperor of Northern Chu is actually a clan member of the previous dynasty."

"The ancestors of their branch also had emperors, and our Dongzhou branch also had emperors. But because they changed their surname to Chu after changing their headscarves and faces, they used this as an excuse to suppress them when they fought."

"Everyone wants to have a legitimate identity of the previous dynasty so as to inherit what the previous dynasty left behind."

"It goes without saying what the outcome will be. You also know what Dongzhou's land is like."

Lu Yaoyao nodded, Dongzhou's territory is relatively wide, and the land is relatively fertile, and after the founding of the country, Dongzhou inherited a lot of good things from the previous dynasty.

There is no doubt that Dongzhou won the battle. After all, he still used the surname of the previous royal family, which in a sense was more justified.

"Beichu is naturally unconvinced. We have been at each other's throats since the founding of the People's Republic of China."

"The more we fight, the deeper the hatred will naturally be. Moreover, the land of Dongzhou is better and wider than that of Beichu."

"Well, I understand. It's just like two brothers fighting for family property. They both want the best."

"That's pretty much it."

The eldest princess nodded and continued, "Beichu came here this time because of this incident. It is certain that the person who came here is not evil."

"What did the emperor decide in the end?"

"Of course the generals are not willing to talk to Bei Chu, but the civil servants think that we should show some courtesy. Since they sent people here, let's see what they are up to."

"Save me from being called a chicken with a small belly."

"It was noisy, but the emperor finally made the decision to let the other party come over. Since he sent people over, we have to see what they are going to do."

"If we refuse, it will appear that we are afraid of each other."

Everyone knows that they have bad intentions, but if someone takes the initiative to send someone over and avoids it, they will indeed be looked down upon.

The worst case scenario is just making gestures. Is it possible to be afraid of the other side on Dongzhou's territory?

"Speaking of which, after what happened last time, Beichu's national strength seems to have improved a bit, right?"

"Indeed, according to the news that came back, although Northern Chu lost a lot of things to Southern Xinjiang after the war, its domestic situation has also been stabilized, and the army's war horses have also been greatly supplemented."

"Compared with Dongzhou, it has some advantages."

"That's not right. Didn't we form an alliance with Xirong?"

Xirong's current strength is not as good as before, and he has become Dongzhou's younger brother. She heard that because Dongzhou sent troops to help Xirong Royal Court stabilize the situation, Xirong sent a very generous thank you gift.

Among them is the rarest war horse in Eastern Continent.

"An alliance? It's just a temporary measure, and Xirong has only experienced a war, and most of the good things have been taken away by Beichu."

"Although the generous gift sent here is not bad, it is still a bit inferior compared to what Beichu received."

"Beichu came here at this time. Maybe he wanted to take this opportunity to undermine Dongzhou's confidence."

"Thus preparing for future national wars."

After King Jin finished speaking, the eldest princess shook her head and said, "I don't think so. We are feuding, and we won't show off. I do think they may have another conspiracy this time."

"By the way, when will these people arrive?"

"The Emperor has sent someone to deliver a message to the North."

"Calculating the time, we can reach the capital in about fifteen or six days."

"In the meantime, you can find a way to find out the purpose of Beichu's visit this time."

After the eldest princess finished speaking, King Jin nodded repeatedly.

The next day, the eldest princess bid farewell to Lu Yaoyao and returned to the capital.

Firstly, it was because of the arrival of envoys from Bei Chu, and there would definitely be a banquet in the palace. She was also curious about what the people from Bei Chu suddenly sent here.

You must know that the two countries have been in opposition since the founding of the country. They have only met each other at war. This is definitely the first time that envoys have been sent like this.

Secondly, she has also lived in Chengyuan Villa for two months, and it is really not good to live here all the time. She has children at home, so she cannot live in other people's homes all the time.

"Qiu Shuang, please also arrange for someone to investigate some of Beichu's purposes this time."
