What's more, there is some connection between the Xuannv wood and this girl. With all the coincidences, it is only normal to give it to the emperor first.
After hearing this, the little emperor became more interested in the girl. After careful inquiry, he discovered that the girl was born on the same day of the same month of the same year as the little emperor. This was a match made in heaven.
In fact, the little emperor’s date of birth was not the same as recorded in the royal records. Only the little emperor and the empress dowager knew it.
So after hearing the girl's date of birth and birthday, he did not doubt that they had inquired about it in advance, so he said: "I have a connection with this girl, so I will keep her in the palace, and I also want to thank the Xiongnu king."
The emperor gladly accepted the Xuannv wood brought by Yelu Changqi, as well as the girl who had close connections with the Xuannv wood, which made everyone else relax.
Even though there are many stories about that piece of wood, it is just an ordinary piece of wood and cannot be compared with the rare treasures brought by others.
The Rouran prince came here with a request this time, so he hesitated and didn't say a word. Instead, he waited until all the treasures of others had been delivered before he asked the prime minister who came with him to stand out and speak.
The Rouran prince winked at the prime minister, who nodded slightly and stood in the hall. He knelt down in the hall without saying anything.
Everyone started to speculate what the treasures that Rouran was going to offer were. Then the man said, "Your Majesty, Rouran is going to change its king, so I dare to ask for something on behalf of Rouran."
After the man finished speaking, he lay prostrate in the hall without any other movement.
When others heard his words, there was an uproar. When was the Rouran Kingdom going to have a new king? Why is there no movement here?
In the hall, people were whispering to each other very loudly. Even Lu Wan and Shen Yan were very surprised. When the Rouran princess was sent here a month ago, there was no movement. Shouldn't the change of a new king be celebrated with a big scene and a great fanfare?
"What's going on? Our spies haven't sent back any news." Lu Daxin asked with a frown. Chen Yan didn't know either, so he could only shake his head helplessly.
Chen Yan and Lu Daxin spread their spies throughout Kyushu, some of whom were even hidden in the imperial palace. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be no news about such a major event.
The Rouran man in the hall waited for a long time without any response, his body trembling a little, thinking in his heart: This time it can be considered as executing first and reporting later. Generally speaking, a vassal state like this has to inform the emperor a month in advance of the change of a new king.
But this time they informed the little emperor in person, and they didn't know if the little emperor's temper was still as good as before, so they could just fool him with a few words.
But looking at the expression of the little emperor in front of him, he is very majestic and no longer as childish as before. Is he fooled?
The little emperor understood that the longer this matter was delayed, the more frightened they would feel, so he never spoke.
After waiting for a long while, the little emperor said, "Why change the new king so hastily? You don't know about national legislation, do you? Why don't I have any information at all?"
The little emperor became angry when he heard the voice. Other countries around him did not help either. They just sat quietly in their seats, waiting to watch the show.
To be honest, they didn't believe that the little emperor would dare to push the Rouran King too hard. Rouran and Dongxia were adjacent to each other. Any disturbance of Rouran would be enough to make the surrounding small countries nervous for half a day. Even though Dongxia was strong, it could not start a war without reason.
"It's just that the Rouran King couldn't hold on any longer. Last month, the Rouran King was still very healthy and strong. But after sending the princess off, I received news from the Rouran on my way back that the Rouran King was no longer able to hold on."
As the Rouran man spoke, beads of sweat the size of beans fell from his face. The sound of the sweat hitting the ground was clearly audible. He knew that his words were actually untenable.
Not to mention that the country of Rouran was very peaceful. The Rouran king had only three children at his old age, and all of them were born to the Rouran queen. There was no factor of fighting for the throne.
Moreover, the Rouran King was young and strong, and the Rouran Prince was only 19 years old this year. It was certainly not possible that he was old and mentally in poor condition. But this matter was strange that a healthy person quickly declined in just half a month.
After hearing what he said, the little emperor could not say anything else. He could only appease them and said very tactfully: "My condolences."
Regardless of whether what they said else was true, it should be true that the old Rouran king's body could not hold on.
"Then I wonder which prince is the new Rouran king." The little emperor actually already had a guess in his mind that the new Rouran king should be the Rouran prince sitting in the audience.
The old Rouran king had only three children, one of whom was the princess sent to the palace. One of the two boys was less than ten years old, so naturally he could not ascend the throne and become king.
"Your Majesty, the newly enthroned Rouran King Zheng is the eldest prince of Rouran."
The Rouran man then dared to raise his head to answer the emperor's question, and the Rouran prince had also stood up and performed a Rouran salute to the emperor.
Chen Yan had almost figured out what they meant by this time. It was nothing more than that the new king had ascended the throne, but he had not informed the Dongxia Kingdom, and was afraid that they would blame him, so he brought the new king here to ask for the title on the spot.
It seems that their previous guesses were not entirely correct. They thought that these countries were coming to test their country's national strength, but now it seems that is not the case.
