I'm so hard

Chapter 25
Hearing that Zhao Yan wanted to go on a personal conquest, the envoys of the five countries almost jumped up excitedly.

As the saying goes, when the snipe and clam compete, the fisherman wins.

According to the current situation, after the beginning of spring, there will inevitably be a big battle between Beimeng and Dazhou.

At this time, it is a good opportunity to rip off.

No matter which country the remaining five countries make a stumbling block to, it may affect the situation of the war.

Next, it was time for the envoys of the five countries to report the tribute list.

The gifts tributed by these five countries fully implement the characteristics of the past: abundant and cheap.

Obviously, they came to Dazhou to play the autumn wind and make a fortune.

For example, Liuhai Kingdom has paid more than [-] kinds of seafood as tribute. The names sound very rare, but they are not worth much. People along the coast of Dazhou can also catch them. Raisin-sized sea pearls.

As for Goryeo, it is even more excessive.In addition to a finger-thin ginseng, five jars of kimchi were also given away.

Jin Renjun claimed that it was made by their queen himself, only the royal family can eat it, it is very precious,

But no matter how precious kimchi is, isn’t that also kimchi?
Zhao Yan didn't believe a word of Jin Renjun's words.Not to mention that it was made by Queen Goryeo, but if it was made by her, it must be very unpalatable.

Although the congratulatory gift from the Five Kingdoms was very ordinary, Zhao Yan wasn't angry either. After all, he didn't intend to return the gift this year.

After the five people reported, Zhao Yan said with a smile: "Thank you five envoys for their tribute. You must eat well at noon. If you have nothing else to do, just leave!"

The envoys of the five countries were all taken aback.

Is this the end of the story?
Haven't talked about the old coin yet!
Ye Bo, the special envoy of the Vientiane Kingdom, was the first to be unable to bear it anymore, and said in broken Chinese: "Your Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, you haven't rewarded the old coins yet?"

"Sui coins? This year I have no money in the big week, so I won't give them, and I probably won't give them in the future!" Zhao Yan said the truth with a calm face.

The faces of the envoys from the Five Kingdoms were ashen. They didn't expect Zhao Yan to refuse the money so directly.

Xilimu's special envoy He Tianfu rolled his eyes and revealed a gleam, and said: "Your Majesty, I, Xilimu, intend to stand on the side of Dazhou against Northern Mongolia. Your country's doing so makes me feel a little chilled!"

He Tianfu had already spoken very euphemistically.

If you don't give the old coin, then I will help Beimeng and make trouble on your border.

Before Zhao Yan could open his mouth, Jin Renjun, the special envoy of Goryeo, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think you'd better think about it carefully. , otherwise... Your big week may be divided up, and it will be too late to ask us!"

What Jin Renjun said was obviously a naked threat.

Saying this kind of thing in the Great Zhou Daqing Palace, it can be seen that he is used to being arrogant every day.

"Presumptuous, what are you, you dare to speak such wild words!" Before Zhao Yan could speak, the military commander Yang Xinghuai on the side cursed loudly.

Jin Renjun may have bad eyesight, or he may be stupid and bold. He pointed at Yang Xinghuai and cursed back: "You old man, what qualifications do you have to call me a special envoy? I represent the monarch of our country!"

At this time, Zhao Yan stood up suddenly and said, "Even if your monarch comes here in person, if you dare to insult my Great Zhou Commander like this, I will punish you severely!"

Then, Zhao Yan looked at Shen Tuyi, the commander of the Forbidden Army, and said, "Ten big slaps!"

Shen Tuyi was extremely excited. He held back his energy and was about to make a move. He came to Jin Renjun with a few strides, and grabbed the latter by the collar.

He slapped him with a slap.

Snapped!
Shen Tuyi's slap was big and thick, and the key point was strong. With one slap, Jin Renjun's nose bleeds.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Forward pumping, reverse pumping, back and forth pumping!
The slap of Shen Tuyi's slap was crisp and clear, very pleasant to the ear.

The officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty seemed to be listening to melodious music, with happy smiles on their faces, and they all sighed: The weather of a big country should be like this, it should be like this!

The military commander Yang Xinghuai was even more excited and burst into tears. For him, the emperor beat up the foreign envoy angrily. This was an honor that no official in the Great Zhou Dynasty had ever enjoyed.

After ten slaps, Jin Renjun was half dead.

Zhao Yan looked down and said, "Jin Renjun, today, what I slapped was not your face, but your king's face!"

After all, Zhao Yan beckoned, and someone carried him down.

Jin Renjun never recognized that Zhao Yan was the talented poet who wrote poems in Wanbaolou.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Yan looked at the remaining envoys from the four countries, and said kindly, "Four, do you have any requests?"

"No, no!" Envoys from the four countries shook their heads in unison.

"Then stay for lunch at noon. I, Da Zhou, have always been hospitable and will definitely entertain you." Zhao Yan said with a smile.

The envoys of the four countries quickly nodded their thanks, if they didn't eat this lunch, they would probably be slapped in the face.

Immediately afterwards, the envoys of the four countries retreated to the corner near the door of the grand celebration, not daring to say a word.

At this moment, all the ministers of the Great Zhou were overjoyed.

For the first time since they were officials, they felt the toughness of Da Zhou in diplomacy, and also felt the ambition of His Majesty the Emperor.

Therefore, in the following session of speeches by the ministers, it almost became an inspirational speech by the ministers to make contributions to the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as an intimate dialogue between the monarch and ministers.

Zhao Yan chatted and laughed with the ministers, from people's livelihood to military, from business to taxation, from trivial matters to the policy of governing the country.

No matter what they are talking about, Zhao Yan can answer fluently, and even put forward different opinions.And when you don't understand, you are good at listening and asking questions.

Such an emperor is naturally deeply loved by the ministers.

Pan Wenyue, curator of the two museums, stroked his beard and looked proud. Only he knew best that His Majesty the emperor looked childish, but in fact he had a world in his heart, and his ability to learn and comprehend was beyond the reach of others.

For a moment, in the Daqing Hall, the sages and ministers were peaceful.

The atmosphere was harmonious to the extreme.

Xiao Jingye, Yang Xinghuai, and Kong Moshan smiled at each other, and they all understood each other's thoughts.

From today onwards, Da Zhou is no longer the old Da Zhou.And this little emperor has completely secured his throne.

And the envoys of the five countries stood in the forgotten corner with a lonely expression on their faces. After they went back, they would inevitably be scolded.

Near noon, the banquet started, and the inside and outside of the imperial city were bustling.

After Zhao Yan drank the first glass of wine, the people outside the imperial city also began to gather and celebrate. The streets and alleys were full of people and bustling.

Many years later, when some ministers recalled this day, they couldn't help feeling very moved.

They didn't expect that every word Zhao Yan said would come true, and they didn't expect that from this day on, Da Zhou would start a road of prosperity that no one had ever seen before.
