The envoy from Daliang held a redbud brocade box and asked to see the king of the Western Regions.
"Your Majesty, the envoy from Daliang asked to see you. It is said that he brought a gift from the Emperor of Daliang." The chamberlain cautiously reported to the study.
It is said to be a study room, but it is actually a study room. It is said that the king of the Western Regions arranged a dragon bed in every palace in the palace just for convenience.
Although the ministers often warned me, what they received in return was: I am neither stupid nor indiscriminately killing innocent people, and I have dedicated myself to the Western Regions. What happened to me being a little nicer? What happened to me having more concubines?
The admonishing ministers were speechless and had no choice but to give up. Although the King of the Western Regions was lustful all his life, the Western Regions developed in an orderly and slow manner under his governance, which was many times better than that of the previous Emperor of the Western Regions.
Since no one advised me, I don’t know who passed it on, but the news that the Emperor of the Western Regions liked beauties spread like wildfire. Many ministers did not hesitate to send their naturally beautiful daughters or concubines into the palace in order to gain power. Some even heard that His Majesty liked them. A married woman cruelly sends her wife to the dragon bed, just to go one step further.
It is strange to say that all the beauties the King of the Western Regions kept in his palace were kept in his pocket, but those ministers did not receive obvious promotions.
If you say you haven't been promoted, it's a bit of a step forward.
Let's talk about getting promoted, it doesn't make much difference.
The ministers who gave the gifts could only wait for the emperor's favor and hope to receive benefits as soon as possible.
The chamberlain waited while thinking about the legend about the King of the Western Regions. It took a long time for the extravagant voice in his ears to dissipate.
"Let him wait outside the city. When Daliang's envoy comes to the Western Region, he cannot go through the main entrance, but can only go through the side door. After a while, someone will open the side door and enter!"
"In addition, when Minister Xuan enters the palace, I will open the gift in front of all the ministers! It must be the greedy and fearful Emperor of Daliang who has sent me a petition for mercy!"
The chamberlain was ordered to leave, and several beautiful maids in brocade clothes from outside the palace entered the study with their dresses in hand.
These people carefully picked up the clothes scattered on the ground and stepped forward to wipe the body of the favored beautiful emperor.
"Your Majesty, just now you promised the slave family..."
The King of the Western Regions lay naked in Longta, enjoying the service of the maid very much. He waved his hand and said, "I will remember it."
The favored beauty smiled happily, and asked in a low voice while putting on the interior decoration: "Then Emperor Liang came to give gifts, is he afraid of being beaten by the frontline soldiers?"
The King of the Western Regions laughed loudly: "I'm afraid that's the case! Beauty, come with me to the main hall to see what gift it is!"
In the past few days, the Western Regions have received continuous military reports from the front line, all of which are good news. The most common story is about how they encountered the Daliang army and how they defeated it.
If these military reports were known to Zhu Youde, they would definitely burst into laughter. The military report from Daliang was a victory, and the battle report from the Western Region was also good news. The two contradicted each other, and one of them must be untrue.
………………………………
The order from the palace was quickly transmitted to the city wall. The general guarding the city looked down at the envoy from Daliang who came alone and shouted coldly: "Envoy, please wait patiently. The Prime Minister of the Western Regions will personally receive you!"
Not long after, the Prime Minister of the Western Regions appeared at the top of the city. He glanced at the envoy with the same condescension and said in a mocking voice: "This person is the envoy of Daliang, here to contribute a gift?"
The messenger from Daliang thought for a moment, raised the redbud box and said with a smile: "I came to Yanbian to deliver gifts on the order of Emperor Daliang!"
The word "Yanbian" shows that in the eyes of Emperor Liang, the Western Regions were just barbaric frontier lands, so how could they contribute!
The face of the Prime Minister of the Western Regions changed slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes: "In this case, please invite the envoy to enter the city!"
After the words fell, the city gate suddenly closed tightly, but the small door on the left slowly opened.
"We also invite the envoy from Daliang to the city!" the prime minister shouted loudly, and the guards on the city wall also sang: "We also invite the envoy from Daliang to the capital!"
How could the clever envoy not know that this was a deliberate attempt by the Prime Minister of the Western Regions to make things difficult, and it was also a response to what he just said.
Normally, envoys seeking an audience should enter through the front door, which expresses the equality of the good relations between the two countries. If they enter through the side door, it means they are inferior.
This is to deliberately suppress the Liang Kingdom!
The messenger's eyes flashed with anger, he picked up the redbud box in his hand, and stood there quietly.
He represents Daliang, and his face is Daliang’s face!
If you enter the city from the side, you will admit that Daliang is a head shorter than the Western Region. This is absolutely impossible to happen!
"Why doesn't the Daliang envoy come to the city to offer a gift?!" the Prime Minister of the Western Regions urged.
The messenger remained motionless, but raised his head and said coldly: "People from big countries will not enter the side gates of small countries! Please open the main gate and invite me into the city!"
No one expected such a response. All the people from the Western Regions were dumbfounded and didn’t know how to respond...
