I’ve seen it done before, but never like this!
Everyone turned their attention to Emperor De Zheng. While everyone was dissatisfied, they also wanted to see what arrangements this usually weak Emperor De Zheng would make.
Although Emperor Dezheng did not want to make enemies with Xiliang, there were envoys from so many countries in this palace. How could he offend all of them for the sake of Prince Yelu?
Moreover, the prince also told him that as long as he could unite with Northern Wei, Dongyang and Dongxiang, he would not have to fear the covetous eyes of Western Jin or even Xiliang.
Even if we take a step back, Nanyue is full of natural barriers, and now he has a powerful ally, the Northern Wei, so he has nothing to fear.
"Then let Prince Yelu and his tiger wait outside. When Prince Yelu is willing to lock up the tiger, then he will be welcomed in."
Emperor Dezheng's words undoubtedly satisfied the wishes of all the envoys in the palace, and everyone expressed their support for Emperor Dezheng's words. This Prince Yelu is just an ignorant person!
After receiving the oral order, the official from the Ministry of Rites ran out again, but came back in after a while.
Looking at the officials from the Ministry of Rites who were already out of breath, everyone frowned.
"Your Majesty, I have delivered your instructions to Crown Prince Yelu, but unexpectedly, Xiliang Da Yanshi sent me in to report that if Your Majesty does not allow Crown Prince Yelu to enter, she and the Xiliang envoys will not enter."
The envoys from various countries could no longer remain calm about the actions of Da Yanshi of Xiliang. They accused Mo Yunfang of indulging his son and being so ignorant of the rules in the interactions between countries.
Without even thinking, Emperor Dezheng said, "If only people from Nanyue were present in Taiji Hall today, I would have agreed. However, Nanyue has sincerely invited envoys from all countries in the Nine Provinces, and we must consider their safety. If Xiliang Da Yanshi feels that the lives of envoys from all countries are less valuable than a tiger, then please do as you please!"
After Emperor Dezheng finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the palace. At this moment, everyone felt that Emperor Dezheng was not as bad as the legend said.
After the rites official left, there was a moment of silence outside the palace. Everyone thought Xiliang would definitely stop causing trouble, but a moment later, the rites official came running in again.
"Your Majesty, Xiliang Da Yanshi said that just now on the street, His Royal Highness... His Royal Highness indulged the Crown Princess and, disregarding etiquette, injured Crown Prince Yelu's tiger. Now the tiger's sharp fangs have fallen out. At the palace gate, the Grand Marshal also disregarded etiquette and demoted Xiliang's sacred beast to a spotted pig.
Da Yanshi asked me to ask the Emperor, is it not permitted for her to bring a pig into Xiliang? If the Emperor insists on identifying this spotted pig as a white tiger, please punish the Crown Princess for injuring the Xiliang sacred beast.
The words of the Ministry of Rites official drew a burst of chuckles from the hall. On one hand, they were impressed by the Crown Princess's skill, which was enough to knock out a tiger's teeth. On the other hand, they were impressed by Murong Qingyu, who was not only a skilled martial artist and skilled in tactics, but also had a powerful tongue.
Finally, of course, I sighed for Mo Yunfang. She had the nerve to say such a shameful thing, and by the way, the general. She is indeed a woman with great power! As expected... common sense cannot be used to judge.
"My dear envoys, Nanyue has always been a country of etiquette. I have also heard about the story of the Crown Princess injuring a tiger as told by Xiliang Da Yanshi. The truth is that Crown Prince Yelu was riding a tiger and running around the streets.
