Chapter 484 The Princess Who Goes Down in History 16
Chen Yan looked back at the situation, rolled her eyes back and forth, and lowered her head to whisper to the Fourth Prince.
"Master, it's hard to come across such a good opportunity again."
"Give this money to Xinguo so that you will have external support in the future. If you give it to other princes, I'm afraid your situation will be much more dangerous."
"Besides, you can take 20% of the money, 45 gold, silver. There is nothing you can't do!"
The Fourth Prince, who was already moved, could no longer control himself after hearing these words.
He used his rectal brain to think hard.
"In that case..."
The fourth prince was not a polite person, "Let's make it even."
Ever since the death of the eldest prince and the accident of the second prince, the fourth prince, the famous reckless man, was brought into the court by the king of the Western Barbarians and walked around. He is now quite familiar with all the data of the Western Barbarians.
At least, we know how much money is left in our own treasury.
"One million gold, two million silver, one million silk..."
The fourth prince of war horses did not give much.
He didn't even dare give the iron tools.
It's just some silver, cattle and sheep. It doesn't matter if you give more of these things.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Shu Jiao choked twice and clapped her hands repeatedly, "That's great! The Fourth Prince is really a straightforward person. You will be my good friend for life!"
She thought she had been ruthless enough.
I didn’t expect that there are always people better than me!
The one who stabs someone has to be one's own people.
If there were a few more fools like this, Xinguo would really become rich.
After the deal was settled, Shu Jiao promised that she would be able to perform the scene beautifully.
Before leaving, she winked at Chen Yanhui, asking him to give the Fourth Prince some more love potion to avoid trouble if he woke up halfway.
Chen Yanhui nodded with a smile——
Master, this is a piece of cake!
While the two of them were working in unison to fool the Fourth Prince, other people from the Honglu Temple were trying hard to fool the envoys from various countries.
Especially Yuan Zhen, who urgently needs Xin State to take action, and Zhu Gu, who urgently hopes that Xin State will not take action.
Wouldn't this be a huge loss?
To the envoy sent by the great prince Yuan Zhen, he said, "The one opposite is the legitimate monarch passed down by the will of the late Emperor Yuan Zhen. He is a legitimate envoy with an imperial edict and a seal. The emperor is naturally more willing to meet him..."
Envoy: Haha, if you believe this, I’d be a dog.
To the envoy of the new monarch of Yuan Zhen, they said, "It is really difficult for us to deal with this. This is your internal affairs, how can we interfere? The master of the envoy is the eldest prince, and he is a close friend of our crown prince..."
Envoy: The crown prince of your dynasty and the eldest prince of my dynasty have never met each other, so how can they be so close friends? You are sick!
What to say~
Although the means of provocation are simple, they are effective.
The envoys of both sides were not as easy to fool as the four princes of the Western Barbarians. They understood as soon as they heard that the Xin Kingdom was waiting for a good price and would support whichever side offered more.
What?
Give it to me!
This side is willing to give one million gold, and the other side is willing to give one and a half million; this side is willing to surrender, and the other side is willing to cede cities and land.
The originally thin list of tribute gifts became thicker and thicker as it was written.
The old man, the Minister of Revenue, asked secretly, and the smile on his face had not disappeared for three or four days.
As for Zhu Gu...
The envoy who came was not the old acquaintance who was so arrogant last time.
He was replaced by a man who seemed honest, but in fact, after arriving, he went around everywhere, gathered information, bribed court officials, and was never idle for a single day.
But no one paid any attention to him for the time being.
Shu Jiao was busy acting with the Western Barbarian envoys, while another group of people were busy provoking the two groups of envoys from Yuan Zhen and welcoming envoys from Dayu and other countries.
Zhugu here~
Just based on their attitude during their last visit, we have to pour some cold water on them and blow some cold wind on them.
As for what drama Shu Jiao is acting in...
"You, you are shameless!"
Among the Western Barbarian envoys, an experienced old envoy who was over fifty years old almost couldn't breathe when he saw the indemnity booklet.
After waiting for a few seconds, he immediately jumped up!
"You are so shameless! You want a thousand gold for a warhorse? It's only a hundred gold at most!"
"Hey~ That's not right. Is this an ordinary warhorse?"
Shu Jiao said seriously, "You should know that when you, Ximan, and Zhugu, were at war, only our Xin country risked its life to support you! This is a testimony to the friendship between our two countries!"
"Yes! We are very grateful for the support of Xinguo. But you are selling it to us for ten times the price. Is that reasonable?"
The old envoy's nose was almost crooked with anger. "When you lent us the war horses, you didn't say this! You only said it was a token of your love, but you didn't mention the money!"
"correct."
Shu Jiao nodded, "It's the thought that counts. Besides, I didn't mention the money, and you didn't ask."
"you!"
"Also! The fodder, manpower, and grounds for raising war horses, which one doesn't cost money?"
Shu Jiao leaned sideways on the chair, looking at people with squinting eyes, with a face that looked like a villain who had succeeded and forced women into prostitution, "We have come all the way to deliver it to you, so our soldiers should also receive some hard-earned money, right?"
"Impossible! Our dynasty will never give this money."
"No?"
Shu Jiao raised her voice, "Okay! You borrowed something and you don't acknowledge it, right? Is that the shameless way that Ximan behaves?"
"You are shameless! You, the Xinguo, are shameless!"
The old envoy's head was buzzing with anger. He slammed the table so hard that, without even crying out in pain, he smashed the indemnity booklet.
"You dare to ask for a thousand coins for a stone of millet. A thousand coins! Do you think this is reasonable? It's really an exorbitant price..."
"I'm asking for a high price, so you have to pay me back when I get down to earth."
You can bargain!
Yes!
It has been like this since ancient times, asking for a high price but paying the low price.
The main reason was that the price offered by Xin Guo this time was too outrageous. He had never seen it before, and he was so angry that he lost his composure.
The old envoy's anger surged up to his forehead, and then fell back to his heart, and he sat back down properly. "In that case, then the warhorse will cost one hundred gold coins, at most one hundred gold coins per horse."
Shu Jiao shook her head.
"One hundred ten."
Shu Jiao still shook her head.
"Then how much do you want?"
asked the old envoy.
Shu Jiao slowly stretched out a finger, "One thousand gold."
“Heh~heh…”
The old envoy took a deep breath and held back his anger, "Princess Duanyang, you don't look like you want to bargain seriously."
"Yeah. You name your price, I just don't agree."
Shu Jiao chuckled nonchalantly, "That's the price, it's set. If you really don't want to pay, don't blame us for coming to your door in person to ask for it!"
Old Envoy:!!!
Why do I feel dizzy?
Not anymore!
"My lord! My lord! Wake up..."
The Western Barbarian official next to the old envoy quickly stepped forward to hold him back as he fell backwards, and reached out to touch his forehead, "Sir, you must stay calm!"
This Princess Duanyang of Xin State is so infuriating!
Unfortunately for him, the old envoy became so angry that he fainted.
Fortunately, Shu Jiao was prepared. When she saw him faint, she stood up with a worried look on her face, "Hey, what happened? Let's talk it out."
"The same is true for you Western Barbarians. This lord is already old enough to enjoy his retirement, so why are you still sending people out to do something? Don't you Western Barbarians have anyone else to use?"
"The imperial physician! The imperial physician!"
"Shua"!
A few seconds later, the imperial physician who had been waiting outside the door came quickly in carrying a medicine box.
