During the more than half a year of training, Cheng Xiuwen also realized that their family's current situation was very different from before.
The whole family is facing extermination and threats from powerful people.
And the enemy they faced was the current prince. It was not easy to survive under the prince's hand.
"I understand, uncle, when are we going to leave? Before we leave, I want to go back to my grandmother to say goodbye."
Young Master Liu Jiang knew that Cheng Xiuwen had always been very filial, so he did not stop him from going back to say hello to Aunt Song.
"Of course the sooner the better in terms of time. Once I confirm the time and arrange everything, we will set off immediately."
Young Master Liujiang thought that time was too rushed and he had to arrange everything in these two days, so the fastest would be three days later.
Cheng Xiuwen had enough time to say goodbye to Aunt Song.
However, here in the capital, today's morning meeting is the day when Beimang's envoys enter the palace to meet the emperor.
The envoy from Beimang entered the capital for a long time, but stayed in the post house. He was somewhat dissatisfied with the emperor in his heart, but he could not speak out openly.
After all, the Wanxi Dynasty now has strong troops and horses, plus the country-protecting general Feng Yi, the loyal and brave general Cheng Hanyan, and the killer lieutenant Xu Yi.
They in Beimang need to recuperate and recuperate now, and they simply cannot withstand another war.
Therefore, peace talks in a short period of time are the best result for them.
The envoy from Beimang came to negotiate peace this time and also brought a letter of surrender from Beimang.
"Beimang envoy Lihua Nasha has met Emperor Wanxi Xichao. This is the letter of surrender sent by our Queen Beimang to me. Please see Emperor Wanxichao."
The envoy of Beimang knelt on the splendid hall, holding the letter of surrender with both hands high. He bent down and clasped his head while placing the letter of surrender on the ground.
The emperor glanced in the direction of Eunuch An, who immediately walked down and accepted the letter of surrender handed over by the envoy from Beimang.
I opened it and glanced at ten lines. I glanced at it casually a few times. After I saw clearly that the content inside was what I wanted, I sent someone to collect it.
"It is our great fortune that the Queen of Beimang is so sincere. In the future, Beimang will become my vassal state of Wanxi, and the amount of tribute will be paid every year..."
After hearing this, the Beimang envoy immediately stood up and clapped his hands.
After a while, someone took out a list from his arms, and then Beimang took the list and started reading.
"Beimang's tribute, a pair of onyx coral trees, twenty pieces of Ruyi jade, ten loads of gold and silver jewelry, fifty pieces of Beimang's specialty glazed cloud brocade, five pieces of shark yarn..."
Beimang is a small country with poor land and not rich product resources. Being able to offer so many things can be regarded as the greatest sincerity.
Of course, there are still a series of Beimang specialties left. Although the quantity is not large, they are extremely valuable and have very special effects and are of great use.
The more the emperor listened, the more satisfied he became and felt Beimang's sincerity.
Of course, if Beimang showed such sincerity, the emperor would naturally show the same sincerity.
"Young lady Beimang is really very thoughtful. You ladies can tell me what kind of reward you want. If you can really achieve it, I will definitely agree to it."
The emperor was so happy that he immediately patted his thigh and made a promise.
The envoy of Beimang was waiting for the emperor's words.
"When I came to my house this time, the queen asked me to ask for a favor from Emperor Wanxichao. My female army asked me to ask Emperor Wanxichao if he could promote the marriage between Wanxichao and Beimang?"
The emperor had long known that such an event would happen, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
However, he deliberately treated him coldly for so long, and only now refused to receive the envoy from Beimang. He had already thought of a countermeasure in his mind.
Who said that a marriage must be between royal children, and who said that a marriage must be someone the princess likes?
"Of course I can agree to this request, but the selected people must not have a wife or a daughter, or be married. I just hope that you in Beimang don't have this taboo, but this is the Wanxi Dynasty, so it must be
Observe the customs of our court."
With these words, the emperor immediately dismissed Beimang's envoy's request for Cheng Hanyan to be the consort of his princess.
"Since Emperor Wanxi made a request, you might as well listen to my request from Beimang. Whether a woman marries a husband or a man marries a wife, you must return to Beimang with me and respect my woman as your respected marriage partner.
We can leave it up to the person we want to marry to make their own choice."
What he said was a bit arrogant. Not only did the emperor frown when he heard it, but even the ministers in the court also frowned after hearing it.
"This is inappropriate, Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Immediately, a civil servant stood up and said, "In the Wanxi Dynasty, men were respected. If they go to Beimang for a marriage, women should be respected and everything is obeyed by women. Wouldn't it mean that men have lost their dignity?"
It is equivalent to letting Bei Mang be bullied in the past, and it is also equivalent to letting Bei Mang step on their Wan Xichao's face.
The emperor will definitely not agree to this request.
After some discussion with Chao Cheng, he finally decided to make a concession.
That is, if a person from the Beimang Dynasty marries to Beimang, the customs of the Wanxi Dynasty will be followed. If a person from the Wanxi Dynasty marries to Beimang, the customs of the Beimang Dynasty will be followed.
As for the last one, it was up to Beimang to choose the person he wanted to marry. Because of the insistence of Beimang's envoy, this point was finally retained.
However, the matter of the next marriage partner has become a matter that needs to be discussed between the two countries.
The person who needs to be married this time is Princess Nalis of Beimang, who is also the future queen of Beimang.
Some time ago, it was widely rumored in the capital that Princess Naris was in love with the loyal and brave General Cheng Hanyan. It was no secret for a long time.
Nowadays, it is not that easy to choose a suitable husband for Princess Nalis in the entire capital.
First of all, Princess Nalis has someone in her heart. Everyone knows who this person is, so it is inevitable that they will feel alienated from her.
Secondly, the husband chosen by Princess Nalis must return to Beimang with the princess, and she must also accept that the princess will have many husbands in the future and share the princess with them.
No one in Wanxi Dynasty, where men were respected, could accept this situation.
It is equivalent to marrying a princess and becoming one of her faces. Sharing a woman with many men is a huge blow to them, and it is extremely challenging for men's dignity and status.
So no matter how beautiful Princess Nalis is, no one would dare to think so.
Of course, the most important thing now is that this person must conform to Princess Nalis's imagination.
If Princess Naris doesn't like this person, she will face the risk of having the engagement annulled.
If this matter spreads out, it will only be a huge loss of face, and it will not be easy to get married again in the future.
Today, Princess Naris has gone from a sweet potato to a hot potato, and no one wants to take over her. After all, anyone who touches her will be covered in fish.
