Chapter 1766 Your Majesty is such a boring person(1/2)
"What do you...mean?"
After hearing this, Song Wen and others' expressions changed slightly.
Lian Feng, the deputy envoy of Wei State, said directly: "I, the Princess of Wei, a noble person with a noble temperament and a beautiful heart, take the initiative to get married, but you, Daning, are still not willing?"
"Do you want me to say it again?"
Matsunaga said calmly: "What happens to your princess is your business and has nothing to do with us!"
"You took the initiative to marry, not us!"
"you……"
These words were quite direct and embarrassed several Wei envoys.
And this is also true.
It's them who want to get married, not others.
However, Daning's attitude did not surprise them.
Normally, how can you refuse the princess who is delivered to your door?
For example, Liang Guo was eager to marry her.
His Majesty's prophecy has come true. Emperor Yuanwu really doesn't play by the rules.
Song Wen remembered His Majesty's instructions before leaving, to save face and maintain dignity.
Isn't this embarrassing?
How could the late emperor have such a legacy? It’s really...
"By the way, there's one more thing."
Song Yongnian said calmly: "If you Wei people insist on marrying me, that's fine, but we also have some conditions."
After he finished speaking, he motioned to Meng Hong next to him.
Meng Hong took out a piece of paper and handed it over.
"This is the list of betrothal gifts. As long as you can get it, then I, His Majesty Yuanwu, will marry your Seventh Princess of Wei."
"bride price?"
Song Wen picked it up curiously. Normally, a betrothal gift would be prepared for a wedding, and it would not be too light.
This is also a way to elevate the status of the Seventh Princess, showing that the Wei State attaches great importance to her.
Song Wen just glanced at it and felt a little dull.
"Three hundred taels of gold, three million stones of food, jade, treasures..."
There is no need to read the rest, the first two sentences alone have already made them dumbfounded.
"this……"
Lian Feng was about to speak, but Song Wen stopped him.
"May I ask what items your country will prepare for the seventh princess to marry me?"
Folks all have betrothal gifts when marrying a daughter-in-law, and naturally they also do so when marrying an emperor. Especially for marrying a princess from a neighboring country, you should be prepared.
This is the royal face.
In Song Wen's opinion, if the betrothal gift required is so much, the wedding gift should be higher.
"oh."
Matsunaga said calmly: "We will not give a wedding gift, nor will there be any wedding ceremony."
"You can't get even a penny, and you still want so much dowry from us?"
Song Wen couldn't bear it anymore.
"Are you taking advantage of us, the State of Wei? How dare you write this!"
Not to mention anything else, the three million stones of food alone was a large number. It was obvious that the Ning Dynasty was short of food and took the opportunity to attack Wei.
It is rare for a daughter to be married to someone else, let alone a princess. This shows that the seventh princess is too worthless and is even more detrimental to the country's reputation.
"I'll say it again, it's you who want to get married, not us."
This is what Matsunaga replied.
"you……"
"Is there no need to talk?"
Song Wen gritted his teeth and said: "It will be beneficial to both countries if the seventh princess marries to Daning. You must know that the fourth prince of the Liang Kingdom has been in love with the seventh princess for a long time. If she really marries the seventh princess, do you know what it means!"
He made a direct threat.
This is indeed a bargaining chip. If the two countries get married and form an alliance, this will naturally be very detrimental to Daning!
"Then you can go and discuss with Liang Guo."
Matsunaga didn't say much to them at all. He stood up and said: "If you have any needs, please contact the officials of the post office. This negotiation ends here."
"This is our condition and it will never change!"
A group of people walked directly outside.
"I want to see your Majesty the Emperor!"
Song Wen stood up.
It seemed that we could no longer talk.
"No need."
Matsunaga said: "What I said is exactly what your Majesty meant."
Several people stood there in a daze, and when they came to their senses again, they had already left.
"What... is this?"
Deputy envoy Lian Feng was furious, and everyone felt embarrassed.
This is purely a matter of coming to the door to make someone angry.
"Sir, what should we do?"
"Sir, let's go back."
"Back!"
Song Wen gritted his teeth and said: "If we still insist on not leaving, doesn't it mean that we are marrying on a pole?"
"What about the late emperor's death order?"
"The will must be fulfilled, but it also depends on how it is accomplished."
Song Wen said coldly: "We have prepared a betrothal gift, but it's not like this. If we can be equal, it's disgusting that they can't pay half of it!"
"This is not something we can agree to. Let's go back and ask for permission."
"Walk!"
Everyone left in a hurry.
Wei's envoys came and left quickly.
This time, we also asked to travel by land and water so that we could return home faster.
Matsunaga came to report.
"They left?"
"Gone."
Song Yongnian hesitated and said: "But what Wei envoy Song Wen said is right. If the seventh princess of Wei marries to Liang, the marriage between the two countries will deepen the alliance, which will be detrimental to our country."
"Then why didn't you go to Liang State and instead came to Daning?"
Guan Ning said casually: "The marriage between Liang and Wei is a general trend. It will not be changed at will, nor will it collapse because of this incident. It will not affect the outcome."
"But I'm afraid this marriage will be ruined. At this level, Wei Guo will definitely not agree."
Matsunaga is very sure.
Even if it is a marriage, the lion will not directly ask for the betrothal gift.
How can I bear it?
"Envoy Wei will come again."
Guan Ning said calmly: "This must be Emperor Jianwen's order. How dare they disobey it? Besides, this is to find a way out for Wei. Isn't it normal to pay more?"
"No matter what, we will only accept rebates. Forget about anything else, how many people can be fed with this batch of food!"
Guan Ning is indeed making use of the topic.
He wants to build water conservancy projects, but according to the budget, there is still a big gap, which means he is still short of money!
