Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 397
His Majesty visited the Caotang Academy several times in disguise, and selected several students from the Caotang Academy to enter the court.

The unconventional promotion without passing the exam suddenly made Caotang Academy more popular.These people entered the court because they had received the favor of the Holy One, and they naturally became the trusted people of the Holy One.

When the Turkic envoys came to the capital, the court had stabilized.

The second Turkic prince who lives in Prince Qi's Mansion should go to see the envoys, and let his envoys know that he is still alive and kicking in the capital!
But when he left, he was rather reluctant.He insisted on sparring with Jin Xiang again before being forcibly sent away by Prince Qi.

Before leaving, he said something meaningful to Jin Xiang, "Just wait for me."

What are you waiting for?He didn't say it, and Jin Xiang didn't want to think about it, just pretended that he didn't say it, she didn't think about anything, and she was still serving Shen Xiniang.

The Turkic envoy was very pleasantly surprised to see the second prince. When the envoy had an audience with the Liang emperor, the second prince naturally became the representative of the envoy.

This time, there are no voices opposing the peace talks between the DPRK and China.There is a truce on the frontier, and the people are no longer toiling.The national treasury was tight, the situation of boiling public dissatisfaction has also eased, and entertainment is no longer strictly prohibited in the capital, and the sky above the capital has returned to a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere.Nowadays, the benefits of not fighting wars are common to all, and they are more convincing than any words.

There was no resistance against the peace talks, and the meeting between the little emperor and the second prince was facilitated in a very brisk atmosphere.

When the second prince was about to negotiate the border crossing, the little emperor was not in a hurry to respond to the matter. Instead, he invited the second prince of Turkic to visit the capital. Temple, even the Xuanyu Temple has a tour.

When the schools, scenery, Taoist temples, and Buddhist halls in the capital have been seen, and the fun is enough, the year is over.

By the way, the second prince also felt the lively atmosphere in the new year of Daliang.He was full of praise for the Lantern Festival on the Lantern Festival, and he couldn't get enough of it.

Fortunately, this is a time when there is no war. If the border is still at war, this year will definitely not be a lively one. With the black-faced Prince Qi around, if he hears that there is music playing, he will rush to search for the payment. It is conceivable that This year must be desolate and lonely.I'm afraid that even setting off firecrackers, you have to check to see if there are any Jinwu guards nearby.

The second prince was quite a bit reluctant to think about Shu.But the little emperor suddenly talked with him about crossing the border very seriously.

And asked Qi Wang and other ministers to list detailed outlines, regulations and specifications.

The second prince was caught off guard, and quickly studied with the envoys the terms of the border opening given by the little emperor.

The terms stated that the Turks had to send horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock to Daliang every year, and Daliang would give silk, tea and salt in return.In terms of quantity, the second prince's envoys were a little bit hesitant, thinking that Daliang had taken advantage of it.

The second prince shook his head again and again, "This is a trivial matter, a temporary benefit, and the most important one, but you didn't take it seriously!"

The envoys were puzzled.

The second prince narrowed his eyes and said: "The Holy Majesty of Daliang promised that he would spread the advanced culture of Daliang to our country, and welcome our country to communicate with Daliang in a friendly way with our ideas. The other clauses are very detailed, but how to implement this one , but he said it in very general terms! He asked me to meet him, so he made it clear in person!"

The envoys were a little confused, but the second prince was very excited, and with the terms of the peace negotiation, he came to see the little emperor of Liang.

"The terms of the cultural exchange between the two countries are not very clear. I hope the Holy One can explain it face to face." The second prince asked with a smile and cupped his hands.

After the little emperor asked him to sit down, he nodded and said: "The first time I saw the second prince, I felt that I had an agreement. Sure enough, the second prince knew what I wanted. This is the greatest benefit Daliang can give Turk!"

The second prince lowered his eyes and smiled, "How is the greatest benefit?"

"Daliang is a state of etiquette, with a long history of culture and advanced technologies. If these advanced technologies are taught to Turks, how will Turks compare to today?" the little emperor asked.

The second prince frowned, thought for a moment, and smiled, feeling that such a good thing seemed impossible.After all, Turks and Daliang are neighbors. Daliang can teach fish, but it will never teach fish?It must be reserved, but listening to the meaning of the little emperor, is it to teach him how to fish?
"I still don't understand, how did the Holy Majesty teach the Turks?"

"I sent all kinds of talents with outstanding knowledge to Turkic to set up school courses for Turkic students to study. I also welcome Turkic students to come to our Daliang territory. Caotang Academy, Jixian Academy, Lizheng Academy, and the second prince have all visited Yes, what does the second prince think?" The little emperor asked with a smile.

"Very good." The second prince frowned, as if he couldn't believe the little emperor's words.

"These schools are also open to Turkic people. As long as they are willing to come to study, they can pass the exam to enter the school. The second prince knows that the selection of talents by the Liang court is through the imperial examination. Students in these schools can pass the imperial examination or be recommended. Being an official in the court, such rights are also given to the Turkic people who study in Daliang Academy!" The little emperor smiled with his eyes crooked, like a harmless rabbit.

The second prince's eyes widened when he heard it, his mouth opened slightly, and he couldn't close it in surprise, "This statement...is it true?"

Did he hear wrong?Or is the little emperor teasing him?
"I keep my word, how can I joke with the second prince?" The little emperor rubbed his clean chin with a smile on his face.

"Do you want the Turkic people to provide the same treatment to the Daliang people?" the second prince asked again.

"No, I never intend to do that, of course it's fine, but I won't force you." The little emperor said seriously.

The second prince squinted his eyes, thinking about the relationship, what good would it do for Daliang to open the country to them like this?What can Daliang get out of it?
But after thinking about it, he didn't think of any possibility that would be beneficial to Liang but not beneficial to Turks.It is only one of the things that the Turkic and Daliang can exchange for silk tea and other items they need. Through the border relationship, learning advanced technology from Daliang is more important.But the actions of Great Liang Sheng made them not even need to learn secretly, but instead provided such an open and aboveboard opportunity!Make it so convenient for them to come and learn!

"This... this..." The second prince's heart was a little turbulent. He had always liked Daliang Wenhua very much. Hearing that the Turkic people would have such a learning opportunity in the future, the joy in his heart was indescribable.

"Since it is a border, the two countries will establish friendly relations, naturally they must think about the measures to stand on the other side. Daliang is a country that values ​​etiquette, and it will definitely not be stingy in this regard." The little emperor said with a smile.

The second prince nodded again and again, and even the matter that the envoys had agreed to reduce the number of horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock sent to Daliang seemed to have been forgotten, and the details of the measures mentioned by the little emperor were added to the agreement On behalf of the Turkic Khan, it was signed.

Guests are happy.

"In addition to official business, there is a private matter that I want to ask the Holy One to fulfill." The second prince said with the corner of his mouth curled up.

"Oh?" The little emperor turned his face sideways, "What's the private matter? The second prince said it and listened to it. If I can fulfill it, I will definitely not refuse."

That's right, he is the emperor, is there anything he can't do?

However, the second prince didn't care about it, and only slightly lowered his voice: "It's indeed a private matter, I fell in love with a little lady when I came to Daliang..."

The little emperor looked at him with a smile, "Oh? Which lady is so lucky?"

"My name is Jin Xiang, the big maid next to the princess in the Qi palace." The second prince said in a low voice.

Hearing about the concubine of Prince Qi's mansion, the little emperor pondered for a moment, but didn't immediately agree, and said in a deep voice, "If it's someone else, I will agree. The people of Prince Qi's mansion should ask the prince what he means."

Hearing the words, the second prince frowned slightly. Could it be that Prince Qi, the regent, did not respect the Holy Majesty as much as he appeared on the surface?In fact, you still want the Holy Majesty to listen to him?Thinking this way, the second prince looked the little emperor up and down again. He was a little young, and the regent should take care of it.Fortunately, King Qi is also a sensible person, and he is very willing to negotiate peace between the two countries, so it should not be difficult to agree.

"What the Holy Majesty said is that Lord Qi is in the palace right now? Why don't you go and ask now?" the second prince asked.

The little emperor pursed his lips and smiled, "The second prince is so impatient? Don't worry, but I have heard an old saying in Daliang that 'you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient', and wait!"

Naturally, he didn't want to ask King Qi, but the second Turkic prince said that this girl is the maidservant next to Mrs. Shen, so he had to ask Mrs. Shen what she meant first. If she agreed rashly, Mrs. Shen would be reluctant, but he It's hard for the strong.If it were someone else, he is the current saint, so naturally he doesn't need to think about it, but Shen Xinniang has a different status in his heart.

When the palace people conveyed the meaning of the Holy Majesty and the Second Turkic Prince to Shen Xinniang, Jin Xiang was waiting on the sidelines.

The palace man didn't leave, Jin Xiang's head was almost buried in her neck, and her face was even more red.After the palace servants were sent away, when Shen Xiniang turned her head to ask her, she knelt down with a puff.

"Lady, the maidservant is not going anywhere, the maidservant will serve the lady by her side for the rest of her life!" Jin Xiang shook her head repeatedly.

Shen Xinniang looked at her and was silent for a moment, "I heard that the Northwest is desolate, if you can't stand the desolation and want to stay, that's fine, but if you stay to serve me, you don't have to, I will never be short of servants people."

"My lady..." Jin Xiang raised her head.

Shen Xinniang smiled lightly and said: "I think that the second Turkic prince is sincere to you, and you don't have to worry about your identity, the Holy Majesty will consider it. You only think about yourself now, are you willing to follow him? In your heart Is there any weight in him? Don't rush to refuse. It is a gift from heaven to meet someone who knows the cold and the hot in one's life, who knows how to love you and care about you. You should think carefully before making a decision."

Jin Xiang lowered her head and frowned, feeling a little confused for a while.From the capital to the northwest, thousands of miles away.What's the situation over there?What is Turkic like?She didn't know at all, but she knew the second prince's affection for her, but how long could this affection last?If she stayed with her master, she would be someone she was used to, doing things she was used to, and would be familiar with it.The master is generous and treats them very well.In the future, when they get older, they won't be able to keep them anymore, and they probably deserve to be a steward in the mansion, and this life will be over...

If you agree to the second prince...then the days to come will be turned upside down?For the sake of a man, can she accept such a change?
