Pampered Into Being The Empress - Chapter 56

On the night of Mu Huai’s wedding, Tuoba Yu rushed to Qinzhou in Qi State overnight before the curfew in Bianjing.

Qinzhou is in the north of Qi, and there is plenty of water and grass, and the place is not far from the falcon. Muhuai established a tea horse department in Qinzhou a month ago for the two countries to trade each other.

Tuobayu stayed up all night, he ordered the attendants to strengthen the guards, he was worried that Mu Huai would send someone to chase him at any time.

The journey was full of turmoil and fear, but when he and his attendants arrived at the Qinzhou Pavilion post, they found that no one was coming to kill him.

Bai Luxi is faint, and the sky is already bright.

Tuoba Yu was lying on the bed of Guanyi with a sullen face, thinking about his thoughts with his eyes open.

This time the deal between the falcon and Qi was unsuccessful, and the horse that Mu Huai wanted had not yet been obtained. If he were to be killed now, it would delay the important affairs of Qi. After all, the horse is related to Qi’s national defense. As the prince, he should be Focus on the overall situation.

Tuobayu was about to close his eyes and take a nap, but there was a lot of movement outside the house.

——”…Princess…you…how come you have come to Qinzhou too.”

“Why can’t this princess come? Originally, Prince Daqi was going to trade horses with my country in Qinzhou. Even the Tea Horse Division is located here, so I will follow you.”

After listening to this, Tuobayu opened his eyes suddenly, his light brown eyes were slightly dark.

He felt bored when he heard the woman’s voice.

She couldn’t get rid of it wherever he went. She would follow him wherever he went. He really wanted to kill this annoying Tuoba Yue.

“Shizi fell asleep?”

Tuoba Yue, who was outside the room, asked the attendant again.

The attendant replied respectfully: “Back to the princess, the eldest son ran around all night and fell asleep, so you should rest earlier.”

Tuoba Yue left the doorway of Tuobayu’s room.

After the noise outside the room diminished, Tuoba Yu sat up from the bed with a face.

He didn’t want to sleep anymore, even though he ran around all night, he didn’t feel sleepy.

Although the Maharaja of Falcon has a queen, he also has a beloved concubine.

The imperial concubine gave birth to the son and daughter of Tuobajing and Tuobayue for the maharaja, and the maharaja himself especially favored these two children.

But for the queen’s son, he is not so spoiled.

It’s just that this Tuoba Jing is a idiot, ignorant and inexperienced in riding and shooting. He is really a dude.

On weekdays, I like to collect the beautiful girls from the Falconry, and spend all the time in the tent, singing, singing, and dancing without thinking about making progress.

The imperial concubine intentionally asked Tuoba Jing to come to Qi for exercise this time, and he also planted a counselor beside Tuoba Jing. In this way, Tuoba Jing could not make any mistakes under the counselor’s advice. After returning to the country, he would be considered as standing. Great work.

The maharaja agreed with him to come to Qi, originally he didn’t trust Tuoba Jing’s ability, but he didn’t want to save the noble concubine’s face, so that the noble concubine’s sons and daughters followed Qi Jing.

Since Mu Huai couldn’t kill Mu Huai, when he came to Qi this time, he had to seek some benefits for the falcon nation, and eventually he had to bring back enough tea for the falcon nation’s nobles and people.

Falcon people like to eat cheese and roasted meat, and rarely eat vegetables, so the stomach and intestines often suffer from problems. If you drink some tea on weekdays, you can eliminate the greasy food.

Therefore, all the people of the falcon can not do without tea.

Tuoba Yu knows that his adoptive father Luolu Khan’s position in the flock is at stake. The Maharaja is becoming more and more jealous of Luolu Khan. In order to show his father and son’s loyalty to the Maharaja, he also has to Make more profit for the falcon country.

The next day, the sun was shining in Qinzhou and the sky was clear.

Tuobayu stayed up all night and went to the Qinzhou waterway early in the morning, because Mu Huai also asked for 500 young foals with the falcon.

Young foals are not as domesticated as adult horses, and they are subject to discipline and cannot travel far.

To transport these young horses, you have to go by water.

Tuobayu personally inquired about the situation with the officials who transported the young foals, and learned that the horses transported by water would reduce the turbulence, so only two or three of these young foals died, and most of them survived.

After confirming that the young horses were okay, Tuobayu hurriedly went all the way north, and finally successfully reunited with the Huguo horse team.

After seeing Tuobayu, the soldiers of the falconry called out respectfully: “The son.”

After Tuobayu asked the shepherd about the horses, he walked towards the carriage where Tuobajing was riding with his hands.

Tuobayu said to the person inside through the curtain of the car: “Three princes, we are in Qinzhou.”

No one in the carriage answered him.

Tuoba Yu’s eyes were slightly dark, and he stretched out his hand to open the curtain, only to see Tuoba Jing in the carriage sleeping soundly.

He looked at the sky, and now it was almost noon, he was not as sleepy as Tuoba Jing without sleeping all night.

Tuoba Jing’s eyes were full of black green, and at first glance, it was because of excessive indulgence in female **** that his body was wasted.

Reluctantly, Tuobayu said to the attendant beside the carriage: “After arriving at the Tea Horse Division in a while, summon the three princes.”

The attendant should be.

The horse team of the falconry went to the Tea Horse Division in no time.

Since Muhuai regained the Jin Kingdom, which is located in the southernmost part of the Central Plains, the tea production in Daqi has increased year by year.

The tea produced in the three states of Yong, Ding, and Qin is top-grade every year.

But as soon as Mu Huai took over the Jin country, he was afraid that the situation would be unstable, so he ordered the local tea farmers not to sell tea privately.

In the Tea Horse Division, huge bamboo baskets full of tea have been placed.

Luo Lu Khan was also worried that he came alone, and also planted a counselor beside him.

It’s just that this counselor didn’t plan much, but was very familiar with the political situation of Qi State. The counselor explained many things with Tuoba Yu along the way.

He said that the Prince Daqi now attaches great importance to horse politics. This time the tea-horse exchanges between Qi and Hu, it is very likely that Wang Xiao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, will be sent.

The counselor also explained to Tuobayu the status of the Wang family in the Qi state, saying that the biological brother of the current Qi monarch married the Wang family’s daughter, so the power of the Wang family in the Qi state should not be underestimated.

Tuobayu was puzzled, and then asked the counselor: “Why not send general Yin Cheng, I heard that Prince Mu Huai, the Prince of Qi, trusted Yin Cheng more.”

The counselor shook his head helplessly, and then explained to Tuobayu: “Then General Yin Cheng is the chief officer of the Privy Council. He is in charge of all affairs of the Qi army on weekdays, but the Ministry of War is responsible for army logistics, so the Prince of Qi sent Wang Xiao to come. The probability is greater.”

Tuobayu frowned slightly.

In time, the people of Qi State walked out of the tea horse division.

As the counselor said, the officials who came to Qinzhou this time really had Wang Xiao, the Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

But to the surprise of Tuobayu and the counselor, Mu Huai, the prince of Qi, also came to Qinzhou.

Today, Mu Huai wore the prince’s clothing used for sight-seeing, with jade pendant hooks around his waist. He was born with a bee waist and long legs, tall and handsome.

When he strode towards them, Xia Feng was blowing his long sleeves.

The counselor saw that the Prince of Qi got closer to him, and the more he realized that he was really handsome and handsome. Using the idiom of the Central Plains to describe it, he was glamorous and handsome.

Tuobayu was disdainful in his heart.

It’s just like a dog.

Tuobayu had counted the days in his heart, and he knew very well that when Mu Huai didn’t give her name to her sister, she was afraid that she was pregnant.

She didn’t grant her status as a woman, but made her belly bigger. This Mu Huaiyuan was also a scumbag.

Although thinking about it this way, Ke Tuo Bayu did not forget his mission. His accomplices respectfully said with Mu Huai with the courtesy of the falconry: “I have seen His Royal Highness.”

At this time, Tuoba Jing also rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked in front of everyone. He watched everyone’s movements and greeted Mu Huai.

Mu Huai stood on the left with Wang Xiao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and on the right with Yan Juxu, the servant of Huangmen. The two ministers respectfully expressed friendship with the royal family of the falconry.

Mu Huai’s complexion was calm, but he glanced up and down at Tuoba Yu slightly.

This kid is taller than a few months ago. He is still growing at this age, but his mind is vicious.

The eyes of him and her sister were really alike, and their pupils were lighter and lighter.

It’s just that Rong Xi’s eyes made his heart fall.

But Tuobayu’s cunning eyes felt extremely disgusting, and he wanted to dig out his eyes.

Seeing that there was no Tuoba Yue around, but only one straw bag, Tuoba Jing, Mu Huai ignored Tuoba Yu and pretended to exchange a few words with Tuoba Jing.

Wang Xiao had ordered the horse supervisor to start counting the number of horses, but found that the horses brought by the falcon country were only more than 2,400 horses, which was half less than the 5,000 horses requested by the Qi country before.

After Mu Huai heard the news, his eyebrows frowned slightly.

He knew that on the way to Qi, some horses would die due to the bumps, but not half of the horses would die.

Mu Huai’s tone was a little heavy, and he asked Xiang Tuobajing: “Three princes, where are the other two thousand horses?”

Tuoba Jing originally came to Qi, so he wanted to go to Qidu Bianjing to have fun. He had all the power to take care of all matters with the horse along the way to the corresponding officials and Tuoba Yu.

Mu Huai asked him coldly, he didn’t know how to answer.

Tuoba Jing hurriedly asked Tuoba Yu to his side, “Where is the horse?”

Tuobayu’s complexion remained unchanged, but there was a slight contempt between his brows.

He said lightly to Mu Huai: “Your country requires too many horses, and our country has limited manpower. If you transport too many horses at once, the number of horses that die on the road will also increase sharply. For both countries, It’s all losses. For the sake of the overall situation, I suggest that the Maharaja will order the other 2,500 horses to be transported to Qijing in ten days.”

After these words were over, Mu Huaishi’s still calm face was filled with sorrow.

This Tuoba Yu was obviously playing tricks with him, fearing that he wanted to hold the half of the horses, and wanted to negotiate conditions with Qi.

Mu Huai raised his eyebrows and asked Xiang Tuobayu coldly: “The envoys of the two countries have agreed in advance the time and number of horses to cross over. Why don’t you keep the agreement?”

The corners of Tuobayu’s lips twitched slightly, and seeing Mu Huai’s deflated anger made him feel happy.

His tone was still faint, but it clearly contained a few provocations, and said: “I have already explained the reason with your Highness. If your Highness fails to hear you, then I will say it again.”

Mu Huai restrained his anger, watching Tuoba Yu’s eyes grow colder.

Fortunately, he had anticipated that this wolf cub would play tricks with him on these war horses, and kept a hand in advance.

Yan Juxu stood beside Mu Huai, but felt that Mu Huai and Tuoba Yu were arguing with each other in a weird manner. It is said that they should meet for the first time, but it was like a feud, and the conversation was full of fire and medicine.

There is no way for the two sides to stand in a stalemate. Yan Juxu said: “His Royal Highness, the falcon country is a big country, and will never miss the appointment. The remaining half of the horses will enter my Qi state sooner or later. What is important now is to set the tea-horse exchange. parity.”

After Mu Huai listened, his expression was slightly sullen.

He raised an eyebrow and replied: “Yan Qing said it is very true, then set the price of tea-horse exchange first.”

Tuobayu was slightly surprised.

The Prince of Qi was out of fame, but he did not expect that he calmed down quite quickly.

After Mu Huai agreed, Yan Juxu invited the falconian envoy to enter the tent where the Tea Horse Division was temporarily used to rest.

Negotiations should be done by specialized officials. After all, the process is likely to cause the two sides to fight red-faced and have related interests. It is not advisable to let the royal family do it in person, so as not to hurt the peace of the two countries.

Yan Juxu has superb negotiation skills, and the other party convinced the officials.

The two countries finally set the tea-horse price ratio as-

A falcon can exchange 120 catties of tea for Qi country when a horse is mounted, 70 catties of tea for a middle horse, and 50 catties of tea for dismounted.

When Yan Juxu and the embassy set the price in the account, Mu Huai smiled and watched as the horse superintendent led the 2,000 horses first handed over by the Falcon to Qinzhou’s horse raising business.

The boundary he chose was the most abundant in the aquatic and grassland of Qi, and he also opened up a large area of ​​land. He wanted to stock the adult horses he bought from the falcon country to maintain the fat and sturdiness of these horses.

Although there are still two thousand five hundred horses yet to come together, seeing that his country’s combat power is increasing, Wang Xiao, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, gradually showed a smile.

Tuoba Yu frowned and asked about the situation of the soldiers of the State of Falcon who was counting the tea. When he accidentally caught a glimpse of Mu Huai’s abominable face, he felt that he was actually showing great pride.

Feeling uncomfortable, Tuobayu hurriedly asked the soldiers headed by Xiang, “Well, can the number of tea leaves be correct?”

The soldier of the Falconian replied respectfully: “The number of tea leaves is correct. It’s just…but this batch of tea…but there is no such thing as the concubine’s favorite tongue.”

Tuobayu glanced at it.

Mu Huai, the dog thing, actually kept a hand with him.
