"A vulgar person?"
"Why are people from my Great Zhou considered vulgar? Please tell me."
Lu Yun looked at him calmly.
Prime Minister Zhang He sneered, "Since you're here as an envoy to another country, don't you have any sincerity at all? Are you relying solely on your eloquence and your status as the princess?"
"Has your Great Zhou reached such a barbaric level?"
When Lu Yun heard this, he suddenly realized that they wanted gifts. This was the so-called etiquette. He was speechless. He thought it was no big deal.
This was a trivial matter to him. He smiled calmly and said, "Do you think that people in the Great Zhou Dynasty are so rude?"
"Then you are totally wrong."
"My Great Zhou has always been a country of etiquette, not like you guys."
"Since the Prime Minister has taken the initiative to bring up this matter, I might as well get straight to the point."
Lu Yun took out two boxes from his arms and took out the contents.
"Your Majesty, this is a night-shining pearl, a gift personally chosen by the Emperor of the Great Zhou. There are only two in the entire Great Zhou. Now, this night-shining pearl has changed hands and is being given to the King of Shu."
"how?"
Hearing this, the Emperor of Shu was stunned for a moment and seemed a little excited. He naturally knew the legend of the night pearl.
I heard that this is an auspicious item, and this night pearl is very magical. It can shine at night like a lantern.
In this Shu Kingdom, my brother had never heard anyone talk about the night pearl. After all, this kind of thing is quite rare. Unexpectedly, the Emperor of the Great Zhou gave him one directly.
"There are also a pair of gems."
"This gem, shining brightly, looks as clear as lake water."
In fact, it is just a diamond, but in the minds of ancient people, it is a gem.
After Lu Yun took out the diamond, it indeed emitted light under the light. It looked colorless and transparent in his hand, which made them very excited.
"I wonder if Your Majesty likes it?"
The Shu Emperor took one look and laughed, "Of course I like it very much."
"Thank you for your hard work, Eunuch Lu."
"Please thank the Emperor of Great Zhou for me when you get back. He has been so kind to me."
"The fact that he was able to give me this gem shows that he took this matter extremely seriously this time."
"Thank you very much!"
Lu Yun then looked at the arrogant Zhang He and asked him, "Prime Minister Zhang, what do you think?"
Zhang He looked very confused. He never expected that such a gem could be brought up like this. It seemed that they really spent a lot of money this time.
"Ah, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. I thought you people from the Great Zhou were really without any etiquette. It seems I was just wrong. Please forgive me."
"Yeah?"
Then, Lu Yun went straight to the business. Coincidentally, all the ministers were present today, so he could talk about this matter.
"Your Majesty, my Lord has sent me here to inquire about your country's joint military deployment."
"I guess the Miao Kingdom is rampant in most of my southwest!"
"Your Majesty, you should have also received the news that there has been constant friction between the Miao Kingdom and our Great Zhou on the border."
"Furthermore, they frequently harass the borders of your Shu Kingdom. This is intolerable. Your Majesty, please reconsider this matter. If a resolution is not reached soon, this matter will be resolved."
"I'm afraid that it will allow the Miao Kingdom to gradually grow stronger."
The Emperor of Shu frowned when he heard this. He was actually hesitating and considering whether to agree or not. After all, war was not something that could be talked about casually, and war also required food and soldiers.
It’s money that is wasted after all!
The motherland is located in this place, and they now just want to live in peace and not get involved too much.
However, at this moment, Prime Minister Zhang He stood up and said disdainfully: "Eunuch Lu, the Miao Kingdom is only fighting your Great Zhou now, and has no connection with our Shu Kingdom."
"Why do I want to get involved in your affairs? Why do I want to get into trouble?"
"Don't you think it's ridiculous?"
Lu Yun said calmly, "Between Miao State and Great Zhou there is the Shu State!"
"Now the Miao nation is just constantly harassing the border area between us and them. How much land is that?"
"Ultimately, they will gather their troops and invade your Shu Kingdom in large numbers. Only after they have defeated Shu Kingdom can the Miao Kingdom launch a massive attack on the Great Zhou Kingdom."
"Do you think this doesn't matter? Do you think we can put this matter aside?"
Zhang He sneered, "So what?"
"My Shu army can just sit back and watch the fight. I don't believe you will sit still."
When Lu Yun heard this, he laughed. He snorted coldly and explained.
"Prime Minister, please understand that it's not that our Great Zhou cannot defeat the Miao Kingdom. In terms of comprehensive strength, our Great Zhou is far superior to the Miao Kingdom!"
"It's just that His Majesty of our dynasty feels that we just fought a war with the grasslands and lost a lot of troops. We don't want to waste too much, and we should still live in harmony with the people."
"If we fight this battle with all our strength, we will definitely win. The reason we joined forces with you is to ensure that we can win, so as not to get too tired."
"Another thing is, after we, the Great Zhou, defeat the Miao Kingdom, will the Miao Kingdom attack your country? This is also an unknown. Their ambitions are very great."
"this……"
All the ministers present were silent. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed that this was indeed the truth.
However, whether His Majesty will agree in the end is still an unknown. We can only wait and see whether His Majesty will approve it.
If Your Majesty thinks this is not a problem, then it can be easily resolved.
But if His Majesty thinks that he has no intention of sending troops, then they can't persuade him.
Zhang He hesitated! In fact, many people in the court did not plan to send troops to reinforce. Everyone felt that this disaster would not be brought to them.
They even felt that the location of their Shu Kingdom was very advantageous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there was no need to be afraid at all.
In this situation, it all depends on your Majesty's decision! If your Majesty thinks this is feasible, then there's no problem.
"Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
The Emperor of Shu was stunned. None of the ministers said a word. Could it be that they were all waiting for him to give orders? But he really had no idea at the moment.
"I will consider the relevant details carefully and discuss them with my ministers. However, Eunuch Lu, please be patient and I will definitely give you an answer."
"To be honest, the Miao Kingdom is so arrogant, and we in Shu Kingdom naturally cannot stand it."
"I've actually wanted to fight for a long time."
"However, there is no chance. Since Zhou Kingdom sincerely invites you this time, I will naturally consider it carefully."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Since the Emperor of Shu said this, it means that there is a 70% probability that he will agree to send troops, and the situation on his side will be slightly better.
