The first thousand four hundred and ninety-eight chapters
Now Bai Ling'er was in front of him, and it was different from any time in his memory. It seemed that the alcohol had played a role. Zhao Yan had the courage to hold Bai Ling'er's hand: "It's good if you're not hungry..."
Bai Ling'er did not resist, letting Zhao Yan hold her hand and looking at him silently.
The silent acquiescence seemed to give Zhao Yan a lot of encouragement. Zhao Yan tentatively moved his head forward, met the red lips, and said softly: "Ling'er, I will treat you well, and I will treat you well forever...
…”
Bai Ling'er's body was soft and fragrant, and her hands were so gentle that Zhao Yan's heart swayed.
It is gratifying to congratulate Huainan King Zhao Yan for finally taking the initiative. A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, and the night is still very long...
Winter has come to an end unknowingly, and there is a newlywed in the Huainan Prince's Palace. The couple has a very deep relationship, which makes others envious.
It's just that it won't be long before he has to return to his fiefdom. After all, the King of Huainan has to guard the frontier. Now that he is getting married, he has been given some time to rest, but it is not too long.
Fortunately, due to Bai Yuxian's original management of the border, and the friendly exchanges between the Lu Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom, there is almost nothing going on at the border and it can operate on its own. Zhao Yan can be said to have a lot of leisure in Changzhou, but leisure is leisure.
You have to go back and sit down.
Therefore, at the end of the first month, Zhao Yan was expelled back to Changzhou by the old King of Huainan.
The princess's marriage ended like this.
Speaking of the exchanges between the Lu Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom, during the holidays, Murong Che and Ning Lang would send people to send some special products as tribute.
Although they didn't see each other for many years, Ning Lang still missed Ye Fuxun very much, and the envoys sent him all the good things he had.
Although others don't know the relationship between the two, they just think that the two countries are very friendly now, but after all, there were many wars back then, and some inherent concepts still exist in the hearts of the people of the two countries, and it will take many years to resolve them.
matter.
Bai Yuxian was not stingy about this, especially Ye Fuxun, who ordered more than twenty boxes of gifts in return for the envoy to take back. The relationship between the two countries still relied on Murong Che.
She knew how much Ning Lang weighed, so naturally she had to give more gifts so that Mr. Murong could take care of Ning Lang.
However, Ye Fuxun's small thoughts are not open to outsiders. If those people in the southern country knew about it, they would probably burst into tears and tell Ye Fuxun that there is no need to worry about it at all.
Because Murong Che was really too interested in Ning Lang, to what extent...
Nowadays in the Southern Kingdom, the Prime Minister Murong Che almost dominates the court with one hand. Moreover, he is also the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards...
When Bai Yuxian returned to the palace, Ye Fuxun had just finished preparing the return gifts for Ning Lang.
Murong Che and Ning Lang had helped them a lot when they were at the border. The fact that they were able to sign the truce treaty without spending a single soldier was also a benefit given by Ning Lang and the others.
Bai Yuxian naturally accepted their feelings, and watched Ye Fuxun busy at the side, and occasionally reminded him.
Seeing him speaking out, Ye Fuxun raised his eyebrows and said, "Didn't the Emperor go to see the envoy from the Southern Kingdom? Why are you back so early?"
Because there were state affairs to discuss, Ye Fuxun did not listen in front and came back early.
Bai Yuxian came over to help Ye Fuxun pack his things, and said at the same time: "Murong Che asked the envoy to come and tell me about the opening of trade between the two countries."
Only then did Ye Fuxun remember that when the truce agreement was signed, mutual trade was included in the contract.
Nowadays, the Southern Kingdom is prosperous under the governance of Murong Che, and has accumulated enough capital to trade with the mainland, so this matter was raised and the agreement in the contract was put on the agenda.
Ye Fuxun patted his head and said with a chuckle: "So this is what happened. It has been so long. If the emperor doesn't mention it, I will forget about it."
"I don't blame you for remembering." Bai Yuxian shook his head helplessly.
He poured a cup of hot tea for Ye Fuxun, and then said, "Previously, the treasury of the Southern Kingdom was almost defeated by the previous emperor. Murong Che spent a lot of effort to get better. The previous Prajna trade with us was harmful and useless.
Now is the time for mutual benefit."
Ye Fuxun thought about it, and it was true that according to the dilapidated appearance of the southern country before, doing business with them was not just about helping the poor.
Of course she doesn't mind, and she probably won't be willing to do it even if the minister of the DPRK dies.
It seems that Murong Che was worried about this and only mentioned this matter now when the situation is getting better.
If we can trade with the mainland, the economy of the southern country will recover faster.
"This is a good thing." Although Ye Fuxun is not good at state affairs, he knows a few things. At this time, he also figured out the key, "Mr. Murong should have told you, that guy Ning Lang, let Murong do all the state affairs."
Sir, he went to work."
Bai Yuxian nodded and thought of Murong Che's letter to him. Like Ye Fuxun, Ning Lang had almost forgotten about it a long time ago. Only Murong Che remembered that he had to be punished for working so hard on state affairs.
Put on the label of being ambitious and trying to usurp the throne...
The letter, which was originally about discussing business matters, couldn't help but vomit bitterness, and Bai Yuxian couldn't help but laugh with gloating.
Seeing the rather malicious smile on Bai Yuxian's face, Ye Fuxun twitched the corner of his mouth, wondering who he was plotting against again.
"However, it doesn't count that I and Murong Che have discussed this matter privately. We still have to convince the ministers of the DPRK and China. After all, there is no precedent for trade with the Southern Kingdom in the past. In addition, there have been wars between the two sides in the past, and the resistance between the two sides is very high.
It’s pretty big.”
Bai Yuxian rubbed his eyebrows in distress, but when it came to serious matters, he was still as worried as ever.
He thought that as an emperor he would be able to have his own way, but he didn't want to be a weak king, and a wise king obviously has to be influenced by his ministers. If he doesn't want to be influenced by his ministers, then he has to influence his ministers.
Changing the minds of so many people is not an easy thing, and Bai Yuxian is bound to have to put a lot of effort into it.
Ye Fuxun felt bad when he saw Bai Yuxian not thinking about food and tea. After thinking about it for a long time, he seemed to remember something, went into the warehouse, dug out something, and threw it to Bai Yuxian.
Half a month later, as expected, the Southern Kingdom sent another envoy, and they brought the specific business matters written down by Murong Che to Bai Yuxian.
And it just so happened that Bai Yuxian announced to the DPRK that he would open trade with the Southern Kingdom.
It was a pity for Ye Fuxun. He had originally expected Murong Che and Ning Lang to come in person, but who knew that they couldn't come and asked the envoy to negotiate for them.
After all, the trade issue had a big impact on the Southern Kingdom. I felt that this matter might not be possible, so their king and the powerful prime minister just entered the lair on the opposite side. If they didn't reach an agreement at once, they would meet with each other to save the country.
