The Central Plains is vast and rich in resources, but the war horses are not as high-quality as those produced in the Western Regions. Therefore, the imperial court uses a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, silk, tea, and salt to exchange war horses with the countries in the Western Regions every year to be used as stallions.
Countries in the Western Regions, such as Uighur, Dashi's horses are rich in BMWs. Dashi admires the culture of the Central Plains and has good relations with Dazhou. Every year, it provides Dazhou with many high-quality BMWs in exchange for certain knowledge, culture, craftsmanship and technology.
Silk tea and salt were just exchanged over the years. Dashi couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to leave some war horses to recuperate, so he didn't trade with Da Zhou this year.
It was Emperor Xuanwu who decided to target the Huihe people.
It's a pity that the Uighur people are famous for not suffering any disadvantages, and Prince Batu who came with the envoy this time is even more outstanding. I don't know how much benefit he has taken from the officials of Honglu Temple these days, but he has not given up his intention to exchange war horses.
Half a minute.
Even the food messengers who live under the same roof can't stand it, which shows how outrageous their behavior is.
In addition, Dashi and the Uighurs had always been somewhat difficult to deal with, and now they had lost their stance. The envoy started to compare with the Uighurs in a hot head, and refused to give up until the imperial court.
When Emperor Xuanwu heard this, he immediately became happy and listened silently to the quarrel between the Uighurs and the cannibals. Batu, who had been unwilling to let go, was stimulated by the cannibals. Not only did he promise to send war horses, he could also add an additional hundred
match.
Not to be outdone, Big Eater also added an additional hundred.
The two sides just fought for it, and in the end they actually increased the number to one thousand.
A thousand high-quality war horses is not a small sum for any country. Prince Batu hesitated in the end because he could not promise more than a thousand war horses based on his own ability.
Although he is the most favored prince of the Uighur Khan, he also has his elder brothers who are watching him. If he does anything that harms the interests of the tribe, he will also be attacked.
So at this critical moment, he hesitated.
The envoy of Dashi, who was still heartbroken because of his own impulsiveness, saw Batu shrinking back. His heart suddenly stopped hurting and he stopped breathing. He said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, Dashi and Dashi are friendly neighbors. We are willing to
Help each other, as long as I write a letter and send it back to Dashi, I will definitely be able to exchange for thousands of good horses for Dashi."
After speaking, he gave Prince Batu a provocative look.
Batu's eyes widened with anger and he was breathing heavily, but he couldn't say a single other word.
Seeing this, Emperor Xuanwu had confidence and smiled approvingly at the envoy of Dashi: "Dashi is worthy of being a friend of our great Zhou Dynasty. Your Excellency, you can study and return to your country. No matter what your country needs, as long as I can give it, I will not be stingy."
"Thank you, His Majesty Zhou."
The messenger of Dashi was beaming with joy, which was one of the reasons why he dared to make his own decisions. Even if Dashi really gave away a thousand good horses in the end, the gift he would get in the end would definitely be much more.
The food envoy left triumphantly and went to discuss the introduction of good horses with the officials of Honglu Temple. The Uighurs, who had been flattered before, were ignored. Prince Batu could not stand this disparity and almost went crazy.
He did not dare to vent his anger on Emperor Xuanwu, so he blamed the culprit for his misfortune.
So before Emperor Xuanwu drove people away, he made an envoy's ceremony and raised his imperial certificate: "Your Majesty, the people of Zhou Dynasty spoke rudely to you today, which was very offensive. If you follow my rules of Huihe, the following will be done.
The unruly people who commit crimes will be executed, but Mrs. Cui bullied others and protected her younger brother. Please ask His Majesty Zhou to make the decision for me!"
Emperor Xuanwu naturally knew how he got his thousand good horses. If Cui Aiqing's wife hadn't brought someone to "apologise", his good horses would still be far away.
So he smiled and did Tai Chi: "Prince Batu's words are wrong. I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, govern the country according to laws. No matter what mistakes the people make, the government will make judgments. Your execution is too cruel."
Prince Batu understood what the other party meant, and his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Emperor Xuanwu had many things to do, so naturally he didn't want to look at his face, so he made an excuse and sent the people away. Prince Batu left the palace in dejection and met Ye Zhenzhen and three people waiting at the entrance of the palace.
Prince Batu and the Dashi envoy had a dispute in front of the palace. Ye Zhenzhen, Zhou Xunting and Chu Ningyan were not summoned as the parties involved, but they still had to wait at the palace gate in case His Majesty summoned them.
The envoys of Dashi went to discuss the matter with the officials of Honglu Temple, but no one came to inform them of the outcome, so they did not dare to leave even half a step and could only wait at the palace gate.
Now that Prince Batu came out with a livid face, they could probably guess the result.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Batu only felt that the other party was laughing at him, and said bitterly: "Don't be too happy too early. Don't think that with the support of Emperor Zhou and the Great Eater, I can't do anything to you. People who offend me, Batu, will never do anything to you."
No good fruit to eat!”
He snorted coldly and rode away angrily.
As soon as he left, both Ye Zhenzhen and the couple Zhou Xunting and Chu Ningyan breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Batu had not benefited from His Majesty, and they did not have to worry about being charged with disrespecting foreign guests.
.
Zhou Xunting said: "I was impulsive this time and almost hurt you. Fortunately, nothing happened. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to explain to Wei Zhen when he comes back."
"What are you talking about? If it weren't for you, I would be in even greater danger."
Ye Zhenzhen said: "This Prince Batu is not only a lustful person, he is also extremely narrow-minded. Even if there was no conflict just now, I am afraid that the generous gift I prepared cannot calm his anger. Now this situation is the best, let's
Dazhou doesn't need his good horse, we don't have so many taboos, so naturally we are not afraid of his revenge."
Chu Ningyan also nodded in agreement: "Ms. Zhen is right. I just saw that you still have some masculinity, why are you shrinking back now? Okay, okay, everyone is happy if it is resolved in advance. Let's go back quickly. At the gate of the palace
After standing for a long time, my legs are sore."
Zhou Xunting touched his nose angrily and begged for mercy: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. Why don't I stop talking?"
Although he begged for mercy, he felt happy when he heard his wife praise him for his manliness. The fear and fear of being almost beheaded by Batu suddenly disappeared. He only felt that his whole body was full of strength and motivation, and he immediately rode forward and backward.
Serve the lady.
Ye Zhenzhen laughed when she saw it, touched the jade pendant around her waist, and couldn't help but count the days.
