"Your Highness, today's negotiations with the barbarians are all up to you!"
Ma Fushan took the initiative to say hello.
"Master Ma is too modest. Your official position is higher than mine, and you have rich experience in communicating with other countries.
It mainly depends on you!"
Ye acted very modestly and said with a smile.
"No, no, in the past, the northern delegations were more arrogant than each other.
Only Your Highness can suppress them.
I will obey your Highness's instructions and help you."
Ye was not polite: "Okay, just leave it to me!
If we can achieve any meritorious service, Lord Ma will be indispensable.
If anything goes wrong, you can put the blame on me."
Ma Fushan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Ye said.
But he didn't dare to really do what Ye said.
He quickly said, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness. If anything goes wrong, the responsibility cannot be left to Your Highness alone.
I am not a coward, and I will always stand by Your Highness."
Ye nodded and said, "Master Ma is very kind. I will not be polite then."
The two of them chatted as they headed towards the main hall.
On the way, they also met Shi Wushuang and Qin Qingxue, who also came to welcome the delegation.
As soon as they met, Shi Wushuang couldn't help but start to sneer, "Your Highness the Sixth Prince is so arrogant that he can even fool the foreign envoys.
Let all merchants increase the price to them by more than ten times.
There is no wall that is impenetrable, and the other party will find out about this sooner or later.
When the envoys start to make a scene, let's see how you handle it."
Being exposed, Yuye was not at all upset. He said expressionlessly, "The barbarian was fooled. Why is Master Wushuang so distressed?"
Shi Wushuang’s expression changed drastically, and he angrily said, “That’s nonsense, who feels sorry for me?
I'm considering Dayuan's reputation.
Using such despicable means to deal with foreign delegations will only bring shame to Dayuan in the end.
What's more, diplomatic missions to other countries are mutual.
You harmed the barbarian delegation today, and one day the Dayuan delegation will go to the barbarians.
If they retaliate in this way, won't that only make them suffer?"
Ye smiled and said, "So Master Wushuang is not in the same group with the barbarians.
Now I feel relieved.
This prince will shoulder the consequences of dealing with them, so you don't need to worry about it."
Without eyes to see, you can't take advantage.
The most important thing is that he felt uneasy and was afraid that Ye would find out that he was colluding with the barbarians.
With a cold snort, he pulled Qin Qingxue and turned away.
"I want to see how you explain this to the Emperor!"
Ma Fushan didn't expect that the relationship between Ye and Shi Wushuang was getting worse and worse.
He said with great concern: "Why is the relationship between Your Highness and Master Wushuang so bad?
He is the eldest disciple directly taught by the headmaster of Yunlu Pavilion.
You will inherit Yunlu Pavilion in the future.
Your Highness should establish a good relationship with him, it will be of great benefit to you."
Ye looked at him with some surprise.
I didn't expect that he actually cared about me.
He replied calmly, “Master Ma has misunderstood. It’s not that I don’t get along with him.
But he has always been unhappy with me."
Ma Fushan suddenly remembered what happened between Qin Qingxue and Ye.
He didn't dare to say anything more and just mumbled something perfunctorily.
Change the subject quickly.
But his expression was filled with deep regret.
He has seen that the emperor is becoming more and more disrespectful of Yuye. If he continues like this, he will have a chance to fight for a replacement.
But there happened to be a rift between him and Shi Wushuang.
It is a very irrational decision.
Even if he snatched the woman away, it would be nothing compared to the throne.
Gaining the support of Yunlu Pavilion will be of great help in seizing the throne.
Ye knew that there was no way to explain this kind of thing to him.
I also changed the topic and talked about other trivial things.
When they arrived at the main hall, all the barbarians in the delegation glared at Ye fiercely, as if they wanted to swallow him up.
Ma Fushan felt uneasy when he was looked at.
He reached out and poked Ye's arm, and said cautiously, "Your Highness, this doesn't look good.
"Those barbarians have discovered that they were tricked and are now filled with hostility towards Your Highness."
Ye said nonchalantly, "What are you afraid of? This is Dayuan. Can they come over and bite me?"
Ma Fushan's face was full of bitterness.
I knew that doing this would definitely cause problems.
There was nothing he could do about the situation at this point, and if the emperor blamed him, he would help share the responsibility.
After all, he is an official of Dayuan, and it is not a bad thing to help the prince escape punishment.
Because he also knew that it was impossible for the emperor to deprive the prince of his status because of such a thing.
However, as the official responsible for receiving the delegation, he will definitely be punished for this.
Ye leaned against the pillar, crossed his arms and closed his eyes to rest.
The members of the delegation were simply ignored.
When Xuantian arrived, the chief eunuch shouted at him to go to court.
Everyone saluted together.
Xuantian swept his majestic gaze around.
Finally, it fell on the barbarians in the delegation.
"The barbarian delegation has come from afar, and I must treat them well.
Negotiations between the two countries begin today.
I hope you barbarians are sincerely seeking peace..."
As Xuantian finished speaking, the leader of the delegation said with a face full of grief and indignation, "Emperor Dayuan's words sounded nice, but we were not treated well after arriving in the capital.
Instead, they deliberately provided us with the most rudimentary accommodation and made us pay for our meals, raising the prices tenfold or even a hundredfold.”
Xuantian already knew what happened to the delegation.
How could such a big thing be hidden from his eyes and ears?
But this kind of thing cannot be said openly.
Xuantian pretended to be surprised and asked, "Ye Ye, what's going on?
I asked you to receive the delegation, why did you do such a poor job?"
For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Ye.
Especially the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, their eyes were filled with gloating.
If you deliberately mess up such an important thing, won't you be asking for trouble?
"Your Majesty, I have just heard about what happened to the diplomatic corps.
What Ye did was purely to deliberately sabotage the peace talks between the two countries and to plunge our two countries into war again.
Ye is a wicked man, and your father must punish him severely.
If he caused a war between the two countries, countless civilians would be displaced and countless soldiers would be killed or injured."
As soon as Xuantian finished speaking, the third prince couldn't help but attack Ye.
An official also stood up and said, "The emperor entrusted such an important matter to the Sixth Prince, but he took revenge for personal gain. This is a disgrace to the Great Yuan Dynasty.
Your Majesty, please punish them severely to appease the envoys."
"I second your opinion! Where does this place the etiquette of Dayuan?"
For a time, many officials attacked Ye.
There are people for the Crown Prince and people for the Third Prince.
Prince Qie had been watching from the sidelines. He was smarter and did not deal with Qie Ye personally.
It is enough that so many officials have accused me.
Even if the emperor is dissatisfied, he will not implicate himself.
