"Xuan, the envoy of the Northern Gen Kingdom met with him."

Hearing the sound of summoning to the hall, Luo Yi turned his head and looked at the eight people behind him. Seeing that there was nothing wrong with the eight people's clothes, Luo Yi stepped onto the steps step by step. Under the leadership of two eunuchs outside the two halls, the nine cavalry of Yandi stepped into the hall gate of the Tai Chi Palace. Under the gaze of the two hundred ministers, Luo Yi calmly came to the center of the Tai Chi Palace and stopped, then bent slightly, bowed gently to Emperor Li, and pressed one hand on his left chest and chest.

"Luo Yi, the envoy of the Northern Gen Empire, brought the remaining eight people to pay homage to the monarch of Nanli."

Luo Yi did not enter the previous Nanli ministers and Zhou Buyi who went to the palace before them, because although Luo Yi still had some awe of the Nanli Empire in his heart, after arriving in this Tai Chi Palace, Luo Yi and the eight people behind him represented the face of the Beigen Empire. Both of them were empires, and Luo Yi represented the Beigen Emperor. He would just give a slight tribute to the Nanli Monarch of the same status. Too heavy rituals would make him lose his style in front of Nanli.

Emperor Li's etiquette towards these nine people only changed his eyes slightly, and he did not show any displeasure. He raised his hand slightly and said in a majestic tone.

"What do you want to ask for advice from Beigen? Today is a grand court discussion, and the envoy can speak directly."

Although Emperor Li's reaction was not much, some of the ministers in Nanli were very upset when they looked at Luo Yi's back. Most of the ministers were young and powerful officials. They were obviously immersed in the memories of the No. 1 in the Nanli Empire, but they did not know that the Beigen Empire is now not inferior to Nanli in any aspect.

Luo Yi cleared his throat, ignored the strange gazes of Nanli ministers beside him, and bowed his hand to Emperor Li respectfully said to Emperor Li.

"The emperor of our country sent us to visit Nanli. First, to reopen the trade route with Nanli, a thousand years ago, and second, the emperor of our country wants to ask His Majesty to promise to choose a master from Nanli Zen Buddhism and follow us back to Beigen to spread the Zen faith."

Emperor Li's face was plain, and after glanced at the ministers below, he answered Luo Yidao.

"I don't object to the reopening of the trade route, but if I remember correctly the trade routes a thousand years ago, it was facilitated by the joint efforts of Li Jin and Gen. You must know that the former Jin State has long been transformed into history, and the Central Plains blocked the trade route. Since you are interested in reopening in Bei Gen, you must have thought about the solution to this matter, right?"

Thousands of years ago, when the Zhongjin Dynasty was still in the world, in order to maintain its voice and communicate with the north of the mainland, Nanli joined forces with the Central Jin Dynasty and the North Gen Empire to promote the trade route of the Three Kingdoms. Because Nanli has abundant resources, the Zhongjin Dynasty grasped the transportation route of the Central Plains, and the North Gen Empire also had more than half of the mainland's horse farms. Therefore, this trade route brought rich profits to the Three Kingdoms from the beginning to the end.

The reason why the latter ended was very simple. The Zhongjin Dynasty was divided by aristocratic families, and since then, a country with enough voice has been lost to the Central Plains, and this trade route has been cut off.

In fact, if we still want to restore this trade route, Nanli and Beigen can also be transported by water, but the cost is too high, and it will be a thankless decision for both countries. Therefore, if the solution brought by Luo Yi is to go through water, Li Emperor will not hesitate to reject Beigen's idea.

However, Luo Yi's mouth raised slightly and answered confidently

"This method, Yier."

"Why should the envoy of Beigen want to go on the water, right?"

Nan Li's minister beside him mocked Luo Yi with some sarcastic words.

As soon as the minister said this, the ministers in Nanli burst into laughter, and there was also a hint of mocking.

But Luo Yi just smiled at this ridicule and continued calmly.

"When we rushed from Bei Gen to Nanli, we also saw that the Central Plains were slowly gathering troops to the south. Your Majesty, our foreign ministers were not convenient to discuss the affairs of Nanli. However, if Your Majesty agrees to trade, I, Bei Gen, can send 60,000 cavalry to the Central Plains to assist Nanli, break the Central Plains, and connect the trade route again. Do you think this method is acceptable?"

As soon as Luo Yi said this, the Nanli minister who had originally mocked Luo Yi, also covered his face and kept silent. The other ministers stopped smiling and thought carefully about the feasibility of Luo Yi's method.

This method is very rough and direct, but if you think about it carefully, there are some feasibility points.

Li Di narrowed his eyes slightly. He glanced at the old ministers standing in front of the officials below. Seeing that these old ministers had no reaction, they were just closing their eyes to rest or not caring about this matter. Li Di felt a little smile in his heart. So, after looking at Eunuch Qian, he saw Eunuch Qian's eyes were a little cold, and Li Di said

"If Bei Gen wants to make a move in the Central Plains coalition, I agree. However, Luo Yi, you have thought about it. After opening up the Central Plains, Nanli and Bei Gen, which country has the right to preside over the Central Plains?"

Yes, the area of ​​the Central Plains is quite large. Even if you only open one road, it will be a large piece of land. Moreover, the two countries must send troops to garrison in this area. Otherwise, according to the nature of the Central Plains, no matter what empire you are not an empire, your main legion will not be in the Central Plains all the time. Moreover, the trade route is so long, even if you two empires cannot guarantee the safety of the whole process. At this time, the Central Plains countries only need to send troops to harass you at any time to easily destroy this trade route.

At this time, the Minister of Rites, who had been free and free, opened his eyes, walked out of the queue of ministers and came to Luo Yi, and knelt down to Emperor Li, and said respectfully.

"Your Majesty, according to my humble opinion, you only need to support a country in the Central Plains."

Emperor Li's expression suddenly became cold. Why did this old guy suddenly speak for the envoy of Beigen? I asked the envoy of Beigen, when will it be your turn to speak again?

However, due to some reasons, Emperor Li did not have a direct attack, but his tone became a little unhappy and asked the Minister of Rites in his tone.

"What I saw is pretty good, but supporting the country to occupy the Central Plains is a perming potato. Luo Yi, are you confident in Beigen?"

Luo Yi raised his eyebrows and replied without hesitation

"Before the foreign minister came here, my country's Majesty said that I have a good candidate for support to the country."

Humph, sure enough.

Li Emperor pursed his lips. Fortunately, Eunuch Qian saw the change in Li Emperor's expression, took a cup of tea and handed it to Li Emperor Li's hand. After taking a sip, Li Emperor said.

"what?"

"The end of this battle, it is clear that which country is almost destroyed? Which country will support it? His Majesty Nanli, can you agree?"

"Can."

Emperor Li watched the Minister of Rites get up from the ground and walk back to the ministers like nothing happened. His face couldn't help but twitch, and his hands holding the teacup began to tremble slightly.

After the Minister of Rites returned to the crowd of ministers, the Minister of Works, who was standing beside him, looked at him with a smile on his face, just not saying anything.

Luo Yi looked calm. Since the trade matter was done, he had completed half of his mission to come to Nanli. As for the rest of the matter about Zen, Luo Yi was very confident.

Before going to court, Luo Yi was unsure about reopening the trade route. After all, this matter is very difficult in terms of implementation and Nanli.

Beigen proposed to reopen the trade route, but in fact, the little emperor Beigen wanted to use this to gain friendship in Nanli. After all, although Beigen's little emperor is young now, he has gradually understood some things. He also really wanted to get it back to the imperial power that should have belonged to him.

Do they have high demand for the current products in Nanli?

In fact, Beigen no longer needs to break the chain of Nanli products after thousands of years. Even if it comes to reopening the trade route, it is a thankless deal for Beigen.

Because they don’t need the products of Nanli, North Gen, North Gen, are very needed by Nanli. It is precisely for this reason that they use the reason for trade to transport the best horses into Nanli through trade routes, and Nanli enjoys their success.

What's more, in order to get Nanli to agree to this matter, the little emperor Beigen and the nine cavalry of Yandi took a long time to deduct 60,000 iron cavalry. These 60,000 iron cavalry can also be said to be most of the army under the little emperor Beigen.

The Central Plains continent is also a plain with cavalry rampant. It is used to help Shangnanli fight against the Central Plains coalition. From the beginning, I never thought that I would not lose money.

But Bei Gen thought so, but he knew what Nan Li thought.

So there are too many uncertain factors in this, which makes Luo Yi worry on the way here, fearing that Nan Li would refuse this matter.

Even if the little emperor Beigen is protected by nine of them, the ambitions of the major families in Beigen are gradually getting heavier. If it weren't for the attack now, because of the existence of the nine cavalry in Yandi, they would have lost a lot of combat power, the country Beigen would have long since disappeared.

At this time, Beigen needed an equally powerful country to help, but the country needed to be strong is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the road to Beigen must not be too close. Otherwise, after Beigen completes the domestic aristocratic family, if the country takes the blame and directly takes the Beigen Kingdom, it will be a disaster.

So, if countries that meet the above two points, now look at it, Nanli is qualified.

It just so happens that Nan Li is still at the right time to be bothered by internal and external troubles, so there is no need to worry about being hurt by Nan Li in the future. Moreover, it is very simple to ask Nan Li to help. If you work with Nan Li to solve this Central Plains coalition, everything will be on the right track.

Since this matter was passed, Luo Yi and his group were relieved.

The Zen requirement, now whether Nan Li agrees or disagrees, is just an icing on the cake.

According to the overall situation, their task can be declared completed.

"As for Zen affairs, I will not interfere in religion. If Beigen wants to spread Zen Buddhism, Zen Buddhism agrees, and I can agree."

Emperor Li's expression was already a little tired. He had originally had all this matter at his control, but since the Minister of Rites inexplicably made a speech to help Bei Gen, all his policies were disrupted.

Luo Yi's joy appeared on the face, bowed to Emperor Li again, and said respectfully

"Thank you, His Majesty Nanli, for your accomplishment."

"I'm tired, please retreat."

Li Emperor waved his hand impatiently, and when the father-in-law saw this, he walked to the front of the stage and said to the audience with his throat.

"Retreat, go to the court."

Only then did the ministers of Nanli kneel down and bow to Emperor Li as if they had just entered the hall, and said in a deep voice.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

After a change of perspective, Zhou Buyi and his group, who had just left the palace, were staying at the gate of the imperial city to discuss something.

"Your Highness, you said, Thirteen and Kumu are now marquis, right? I didn't expect that this time, Your Majesty was so generous. He signed Thirteen Tinghou in one breath. I'm so obedient, Thirteen, you're so envious of me. It's a pity, why didn't I have a Tinghou?"

Suddenly he laughed and patted Hei Shisan's chest. To be honest, although Ting Hou was the lowest-level title and could not be hereditary, it was also a title. Suddenly, he laughed that he had been in the Jinshi for several years and had no intention of Ting Hou. Unexpectedly, Hei Shisan went to Dongxun and transformed from an ordinary soldier to a lord.

However, Hei Shisan just smiled foolishly and touched his head. He felt a little embarrassed to speak, because there were only two or three of them in the Yulin Hei Knights who had titles.

Neither the captain yesterday nor his own captain, he had no title.

However, now he has transformed himself into a lord. How could this Hei Thirteen not be shy?

Zhou Buyi curled his lips, rolled his eyes, and couldn't help but complain and suddenly said with a smile

"Brother Xiao, what are you talking about this? You are also the deputy director now. You don't need a title, okay? Zhijinsi, this yamen is a real and powerful yamen. Let's save money. If you give you another title, then you will be smoking from the ancestral grave, okay?"

Suddenly he laughed and then became calm. Yes, although the deputy director of the Jinshi Department is of the fifth rank, he is far more powerful than some fourth rank officials.

Also, when he thought that his future court ward could be changed to red, he couldn't help laughing out loud. The red-robed official didn't expect that he had just walked to this point before he was twenty years old.

Among the group, their expressions remained unchanged now, and only Ku Mu and Qi Wuhen were the only ones.

Ku Mu's temperament is cool and he doesn't care much about power, fame and fortune, not to mention that this Marquis of Ting was enough to judge his achievements based on his previous tasks.

Qi Wuhen's expression did not change, and he was even a little sad. What else can I say? Thank God if you don't get demoted if you don't have it.

It's already ground.

Moreover, what Qi Wuhen fears most now is that he suddenly laughed and used an excuse to mock himself. In this way, he had nothing to refute now.

What's more, it's not the same now. I can't beat myself now and laugh and laugh at me.

Forget it, if you suddenly laugh and mock it, just bear it yourself.

But the imagined mockery did not come. Suddenly, I smiled and just looked at Qi Wuhen. The corners of my mouth were bitter and shook my head slightly. Then I turned around and said to the group and said

"Since everyone has rewards, let's go to Tianxianglou for a meal today? How about it?"

Ku Mu and Hei Shisan nodded, they had no objection.

Zhou Buyi just smacked his lips and spread his hands together.

"Anyway, I don't have money, so if you want to pay, you can pay."
