Chapter 432 Dayuan Envoy, the Lion Opens Its Mouth!
Inside the carriage.
After hearing Ye Chen's words, a hint of worry appeared between Shen Qiu's picturesque eyebrows.
She bowed slightly and whispered, "Your Majesty, Dayuan has always had envoys from Dayu. Back in the days of Dayu's greatest power, Dayuan paid tribute and swore homage year after year. However, today, Dayu has long since lost control and authority over Dayuan."
Ye Chen raised his head slightly, his eyes revealing determination.
He looked at Shen Qiu and said slowly: "Qiu'er, I know, but the Tatars are a serious threat after all. No matter what, we must meet the Dayuan envoy first."
Hearing this, Shen Qiu didn't say much.
The carriage sped along the road, its wheels rolling.
Inside the car, Ye Chen and Shen Qiu remained silent.
Shen Qiu sat quietly, with not much emotion on his cold face, only his eyes occasionally moved around, as if thinking about something.
Ye Chen closed his eyes and rested, feeling calm and relaxed.
Just as the carriage was about to enter the capital, Ye Chen suddenly reached out, gently lifted the curtain, and took a look outside.
A complex emotion flashed in his eyes, and then he turned his head and looked at Shen Qiu.
"Qiu'er, send someone to check on Tong's fish shop."
Shen Qiu nodded slightly.
"Yes."
The figures of Tong Le and Mo Rou flashed before Ye Chen's eyes.
Although neither of them is stunningly beautiful, one of them has the temperament of a beautiful girl from a small family, which makes people happy to see her.
One is a plump woman
Ye Chen has a place for two women in his heart
After Shen Qiu finished arranging the people, he said softly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Miss Tong has learned to cook well. With her sister-in-law looking after her, she will definitely live a good life."
Ye Chen nodded and sighed softly. If he wasn't busy with other things, he would go to see Tong Le.
In the end, he lowered the curtains and closed his eyes to rest, but he still decided to get down to business first and find a woman later.
The carriage slowly drove into the palace, and the wheels made a slight rumbling sound on the cobblestone road.
Shen Qiu sat in the car, glancing at Ye Chen who was resting with his eyes closed from time to time.
She could guess that Ye Chen must be thinking about how to face the envoy from Dayuan later.
The carriage stopped and Shen Qiu got off first.
"Qiu'er, go inform the Queen Mother and invite the Dayuan envoy to the Taiqian Palace. I want to see him."
"promise!"
Shen Qiu turned and left in a hurry.
The carriage then took Ye Chen back to the Yangxin Palace.
Outside the Yangxin Palace, Cheng'en and a group of palace maids stood with their heads bowed and respectful expressions.
Ye Chen entered the Yangxin Gong, and his majestic gaze swept around. Cheng En and others hurriedly saluted and shouted "Long live!"
Ye Chen raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to stand up.
"Change my clothes."
"promise."
Ye Chen returned to the inner hall, and Cheng'en quickly arranged for the palace maids to come forward and take off Ye Chen's clothes.
He changed into a solemn and luxurious dragon robe and wore a crown that symbolized the emperor's majesty.
At that moment, the emperor's aura naturally emanated from Ye Chen, as if an invisible aura enveloped the entire Yangxin Palace.
Ye Chen's eyes were firm, and he ordered Cheng En in a steady voice: "Cheng En, immediately arrange the emperor's ceremonial guards. I want to go to Taiqian Palace."
Cheng En didn't even dare to raise his head and said respectfully, "As you wish."
Then he hurriedly turned around and went down to arrange all matters related to the emperor's ceremonial procession.
After a while, the sound of orderly footsteps and the collision of ceremonial instruments were heard outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Ye Chen held his head high and chest out, walked out of the palace with steady steps, sat on the emperor's ceremonial guard, and walked towards the Taiqian Palace.
The Taiqian Hall was solemn and dignified.
Ye Chen walked into the hall with the gait of a dragon and a tiger, wearing a dragon robe, and the beads on the crown swayed slightly.
He walked up the steps steadily and sat on the dragon throne in a domineering manner.
He didn't have to wait long before Shen Qiu arrived in the hall, clasped his fists, and said, "Your Majesty, the envoy from Dayuan has arrived. Would Your Majesty like to summon him now?"
Ye Chen raised his chin slightly, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
He said in a loud and domineering voice: "Let him in!"
The next moment, the envoy from Dayuan strode into the Taiqian Palace. He had blond hair and blue eyes, and wore a peculiarly shaped hat on his head. The hat was arc-shaped, and the edge was inlaid with colorful gems. There were also several colorful feathers on the hat, which swayed gently as he walked.
He was wearing colorful and strange clothes. The material of the clothes seemed to be completely different from the silk brocade in the Central Plains. It was more like some kind of tough leather and gorgeous fabric spliced together.
Such exotic dress and strange appearance all reveal his identity.
The Dayuan envoy strode towards Ye Chen, but when he saluted, he only bowed slightly, with a hint of arrogance and disdain in his eyes.
That nonchalant attitude seemed to show that he didn't even take the high-ranking Ye Chen seriously.
"Wang Baobao, the envoy from Dayuan, greets His Majesty Emperor Dayu."
Hearing this, Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.
Then, his expression became stern, and his gaze shot straight at Wang Baobao like a sword.
"Wang Baobao, I called you here today because I hope Dayuan will not mobilize against the Western Qiang, and instead allow the Western Qiang to send their troops to the grasslands. I am willing to reach an agreement with Dayuan."
Ye Chen said in a gentle tone.
Hearing this, Wang Baobao looked at Ye Chen with a complicated expression and said, "Your Majesty, the Qiang people and Dayuan are enemies for generations, so Dayuan may find it difficult to agree to your request."
Hearing this, Ye Chen stared at Wang Baobao, his eyes revealing majesty and scrutiny.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, then spoke in a low and powerful voice: "Tell me, what are your conditions for the Kingdom of Dayuan?"
If this matter really cannot be negotiated, why would the envoys from Dayuan accept the invitation?
It was also wrong that the envoy from Dayuan had behaved so arrogantly before.
Dayuan must have the conditions!
Upon hearing this, Wang Baobao's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he bowed and said, "Your Majesty Emperor Dayu, your country is famous for its prosperity, and we hope to receive a generous reward to alleviate the difficulties faced by the people in our country.
Also, if we agree to sign an agreement with Dayu, we will offend the Tatars and the Western Qiang, so we need Dayu to provide troops to ensure the safety of our country.
In addition, we hope that Dayu can provide us with more convenience in trade, lower tariffs, and allow our country's goods to flow smoothly in Dayu.
If His Majesty Emperor Dayu can agree to these requests, our Dayuan Kingdom will certainly consider His Majesty's previous proposal."
The messenger stated the conditions without hesitation, as if he had rehearsed them.
Ye Chen listened quietly to Wang Baobao's words. His face darkened, his eyes became cold, and he slowly said, "Go away. I will think about it and summon you later."
Hearing this, Wang Baobao was slightly stunned, bowed, and left.
