Chapter 215 It’s terrible! An envoy actually sent fake goods!
In Wuyang Palace, Jiang Yanchuan was meeting with envoys from Jianggu Kingdom.
The national strength of Jianggu Kingdom is much weaker than the previous countries that came to Beijing, and the ones who came are also the usual combination of the king and the prince.
"I have heard that your country has been hit by natural disasters for many years in recent years," Jiang Yanchuan picked up the teacup beside him and used the warmth of the tea to soothe the soreness of his knuckles. "You really don't need to bring so many tributes to the capital."
The King of Jianggu bowed with deep respect and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. We all in Jianggu respect Darui very much, so we cannot be vague about the tribute."
Jiang Yanchuan's eyes passed over the Jianggu Kingdom's envoy team and fell on several large red lacquered wooden boxes that had been opened behind them.
"I have received your kindness, but these items are too valuable. It would be better if you take them back after the New Year's Day banquet."
【ah--】
A familiar voice suddenly appeared, successfully interrupting Jiang Yanchuan's next words.
[But...the things they sent were all fake!!!]
Jiang Yanchuan: “…”
Eunuch Changshun: "..."
It’s terrible that an envoy actually sent fake goods!
Eunuch Changshun almost knelt down in front of the young man on the spot.
The little guy has completely invaded Emperor Mingze's territory. Now he doesn't need to notify Emperor Mingze in advance when he goes to any place where he is, but this...
Today's timing is too coincidental, isn't it?!
Would he really not lose his head because of Emperor Mingze's anger that he had nowhere to vent? !
The King of Jianggu saw the atmosphere between the two suddenly become tense, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although these items are priceless treasures to our Jianggu country, their value is not high for people who are not proficient in this field."
Translation: Although these items may not be worth much, in the eyes of those who know the subject, the value they contain is incomparable.
It all depends on whether you, Emperor Mingze, know the goods!
Jiang Yanchuan looked at the envoy in front of him with a serious gaze and did not speak for a while.
He had never been very interested in these tribute items. Before, they were just handed over to Changshun for collection and distribution. Ornaments and cloth were directly delivered to the palaces of various concubines.
For the first time, he glanced carefully at the tributes.
Seeing that he seemed to be interested in these things, the King of Jianggu State became more enthusiastic in explaining them.
"This scroll was written by a calligraphy master in my Jianggu country. People in my Jianggu country love cursive calligraphy, and the master's calligraphy is hard to come by at a high price. This time when I went to Beijing to pay homage, I specially went to ask for a copy."
[He is lying, Father, please don’t be fooled by him! ! ] In a realm unknown to the King of Jianggu, the anger in Jiang Yingcheng’s heart was about to burst through the sky——
[The King of Jianggu even used cursive calligraphy as a cover. This was simply written by his ministers while drunk. He clearly wanted to use this abstract font to make others think it was some new form of art!!]
Jiang Yanchuan glanced casually at the calligraphy and painting.
It's sloppy, but you can tell the writer has decent skills.
If the little guy hadn't reminded him, he would have just regarded it as the special aesthetic of their Jianggu country.
The King of Jianggu began to introduce new tributes——
"Inside this bottle is an elixir made by the most accomplished sorcerer in Jianggu Territory. This elixir can prolong the life of the person who takes it, and bring him longevity and happiness."
[Hmph, two broken medicine balls are not as effective as the cheapest Gu Yuan Dan in the points mall! ]
The ruler of Jianggu State continued to be powerful——
"This glass Buddha was made by the most skilled master in Jianggu Country. It took a total of 49 days to burn this Buddha statue. It is said that on the day this Buddha statue was made, colorful clouds surrounded the sky and the courtyard where the master was was surrounded by golden light."
The King of Jianggu looked quite pleased with himself: "At that time, someone was willing to pay a huge price to the Master to buy it, but the Master insisted on giving it to the Jianggu Royal Family."
"The master once said that this Buddha statue can be preserved and everything will be fine!"
[They bought them from traveling merchants at a low price. Damn it! They tried to fool my beautiful father with these shabby things!]
[No! Cheng Cheng must find a way to expose him! ! ]
Jiang Yanchuan's face became increasingly gloomy, and by the time the King of Jianggu realized something was wrong, the entire Wuyang Palace seemed to be shrouded in a layer of icy air.
Before the King of Jianggu Kingdom could ask any questions, a series of "thump thump" footsteps were heard from behind him.
King of Jianggu: "???"
When did the rules become so chaotic in the Da Rui Palace?
When I turned around, a small figure had appeared beside the wooden box, looking at the Buddha statue with curiosity.
Seeing him turn around, the little figure also raised his head.
Jiang Yingcheng smiled brightly: "Hello, uncle~"
The King of Jianggu responded with a polite smile: "Hello, little prince."
However, I was somewhat anxious about this sudden change.
He had just finished laying the groundwork. If he was given the chance to continue, he could go on to explain how Jiang Guguo, despite its financial misfortune, was still willing to spend a large amount of money to prepare tributes.
With Emperor Mingze's reputation-seeking character, he will surely respond with a more generous reward!
But the sudden appearance of this little ball disrupted all his steps. If he wanted to continue what he was saying at this moment, it would seem a bit deliberate.
Isn't this where Emperor Mingze handles official business?
Why did this little dumpling appear here so suddenly? !
Jiang Yingcheng pointed at the Buddha statue with a confused expression and asked crisply, "Uncle's Buddha statue is so amazing, so your country must have developed very well before?!"
The King of Jianggu choked.
Although they are only a small country, due to their special location, they have attracted the attention of many countries. The development of Jianggu Kingdom in recent years has not escaped the eyes and ears of many countries.
"…I sent this Buddha statue directly to Da Rui as soon as I got it. I haven't had time to place it in my palace in Jianggu yet."
Jiang Yingcheng paused and pouted angrily.
[It has been more than half a year since I bought it, but he still lied!!]
While feeling angry, she was also very anxious in her heart: [How can Wuwuwu expose him? It’s all Chengcheng’s fault for being too stupid——]
"I am very interested in that calligraphy and painting," Jiang Yanchuan suddenly said in silence, "I would like to ask Mr. Qiu to invite that calligraphy master to Beijing for a talk."
Jianggu Kingdom's King Qiu Ji's breath paused, and panic suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Those few words were just casually written by the person who wrote them. Even he couldn't guarantee that he could write another one exactly the same. Where could he find such a person? !
But Emperor Mingze had already said it, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "...Okay."
Jiang Yingcheng's eyes lit up.
[Oh, my father must have noticed this pile of fakes, he is really amazing! ! ]
[Does he know that several suspicious groups of people have infiltrated the city? ]
