Chapter 173 Falcon
A banquet could be said to be enjoyed by all guests if the emperor had not said that.
"nature."
"I have decided not to send troops to Yu Hun."
When these words were spoken, everyone present, including the ministers of the Yue Dynasty, was shocked, except Bei Jingchu who knew the inside story.
The unqualified ministers were shocked because they did not know this.
For example, Xu Lanqi and other close ministers, it was because the emperor's decision was inconsistent with what they had discussed.
The result of the discussions over the past few days was a unanimous support for the suggestion of Shangshu Ling Yu Jijun: to invest money but not send troops.
But now, Your Majesty's intention is to not even pay the money, and completely give up on Tu Ningxu's conditions and the benefits of competing for Yu Hun.
This is why.
Minister Yin half stood up from his chair but was pushed back by Xu Lanqi.
He reminded quietly: "Your Majesty's abilities and character, you and I both know."
"He is not a reckless person. He must have his reasons for making this decision."
"Master Yin, don't be stupid. What do you want to do by contradicting His Majesty in front of foreigners?"
After being reminded like this, Minister Yin was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly sat down, with his butt glued to the chair, not daring to move at all.
He thanked Xu Lanqi repeatedly.
It was a close call. He was too impatient.
The following small actions were not obvious because everyone's attention was focused on the emperor and the envoys.
The diplomatic corps was obviously even more incredulous.
They felt that the inducements they offered were sufficient and related to the foundation of Vietnam-North Korea's military.
I didn’t expect the Vietnamese government to refuse, and they didn’t even think of a second plan.
Bei Heng shook his head and sighed, trying hard to look kind.
"We are a country that longs for peace and cannot bear to start a war."
"I am also a kind-hearted person and cannot bear to harm any living being."
Bei Jingchu and all the ministers: Ah?
After a long time, Envoy Tu Ning forced a smile.
"It's okay. Although we have no chance to form an alliance with Vietnam, the friendship between our two countries will not be extinguished."
"Since His Majesty of Yue Dynasty cannot bear to start a war, I believe he will not help Yu Hun, right?"
"nature."
The envoy seemed to have received a satisfactory answer and toasted again: "To show Thuning's friendship to the Vietnamese Dynasty, we would like to give you another gift."
The person next to him brought a cage.
He pointed at the cage and said, "The Ghazi is a rare falcon in Tunning."
【Falcon?】
Bei Jingchu became more energetic.
[It's so cool just thinking about it! 】
【I want it, I want it! 】
The silk cloth on the cage was removed, revealing a completely black falcon with smooth fur.
"This eagle fell ill on the way here, so it's not good to give it to Yue Dynasty."
"Fortunately, it recovered yesterday. It seems that it still has a connection with Vietnam."
"Just like the friendship between our two countries."
The cage was opened, the Saker Falcon flapped its wings, and with a loud eagle cry, it circled in the sky.
The palace maid took the whistle from the envoy and brought it to the emperor.
The envoy introduced: "This whistle is used to control it. Different whistle tones represent different commands."
"If you are interested in this gift, we can keep the falcon trainer here."
Bei Jingchu's interest immediately dropped by 70%.
I was thinking about their purpose in doing this: [If they want to keep someone here, I don’t believe they really want to keep someone to train an eagle.]
[Are you trying to leave a spy? ]
[But if such an obvious person stays, we will definitely be on our guard. ]
[It is impossible to get any information.]
[So... it's to divert attention from the real spy?]
The emperor found the strange conspiracy theories in the young man's mind somewhat amusing.
Just one person, an eagle.
If you like it, stay, what are you afraid of.
There are too many people who want to find out the secrets of Dai Viet.
There are foreigners, our own people, all kinds of people.
He has his own means to ensure that things he wants to keep secret will not be leaked.
If we have to guard against every force, then not only him, but even ten emperors would not be enough.
But Behen was still deeply comforted.
The little bastard is still young, but it is already very good that he can think of this level.
He asked someone to accept the gift.
After the banquet, it was handed over to Bei Jingchu.
The children were delighted to receive this cool gift.
The falconer commander, Gyrfalcon, landed on her arm.
【Falcon! 】
[Really cool! ]
Bei Jingchu thought of a question and asked the falconer: "Is it a male or a female?"
"Princess Tianyuan, hunting falcons are almost all female, including this one."
Bei Jingchu was a little surprised: "Why is it a female eagle?"
"Because female eagles are stronger than male eagles."
Bei Jingchu went to see the Saker Falcon resting on her arm. Its sharp beak and powerful wings all showed its strength.
Every feather is filled with the beauty of strength.
The edge of the bird's beak still had traces of fresh, red meat scraps that had not been cleaned clean from the raw meat it had just fed it.
With a primitive bloody smell, Bei Jingchu couldn't let it go.
She loves this creature.
Compared to the cute, soft rabbits and deer used as prey.
She likes Hunter.
At this time, the returning envoys were complaining in the Tunning language: "It was a good plan. The Vietnamese Dynasty would join us in attacking Yuhuan."
"No matter what, it will cost him some of his national strength."
"The Yue Dynasty's military strength was originally weak, and it was only supported by sufficient food and supplies."
"After the fight with Yu Hun, their national strength was dragged down, and the steeds we sent them had not grown up yet, so it was still a long way from becoming real war horses."
"Now we can turn our guns around and point them directly at Vietnam."
"Even if we gave them some of Yujuan's land before, we can get it back soon."
"I didn't expect that the Emperor of Vietnam would not make this transaction."
The irritable man in the tavern before was now exceptionally calm.
"It's okay. Khan said that if Yue Chao really refuses, it's okay."
"They are only defending now. Without strong cavalry, they will be beaten after we swallow the Jade and take a step further."
"It's just a little earlier or a little later."
"The current situation is completely in our favor. Unless Vietnam produces a living god of war or a divine soldier, they will all be our meat sooner or later."
The leading envoy nodded.
"No matter what, the Vietnamese Dynasty is doomed. This rich land will only fall into the arms of the Khan a little later."
