Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 678 The little shoes given by the emperor

A few days later, Dongji Zhenren sent a message to Emperor Yuan Zhen in the name of celebrating the great victory on the frontier.

The hexagrams are confusing and difficult to understand.

Emperor Yuan Zhen couldn't figure it out, so he had to order Tai Shiling to go to Chengtian Temple in person.

Taishi Ling fulfilled his mission and told Emperor Yuan Zhen after returning to the palace that this was an auspicious hexagram, symbolizing that this great victory would be the beginning of Dongling's quest to dominate the Four Kingdoms.

Emperor Yuan Zhen was very happy after hearing Long Yan, but Tai Shi Ling also said that a big tree attracts the wind. The growth of Dongling will inevitably arouse the jealousy of other countries. If used by other countries, it will only make wedding clothes for others.

These words made Emperor Yuan Zhen uneasy again.

However, after a while, Emperor Yuan Zhen was immersed in the joy of winning the four kingdoms and forgot himself.

Tai Shiling did not dare to interpret the hexagrams of Master Dongji easily, so he could only follow what Master Dongji said and then left.

Emperor Yuan Zhen was happy for a long time.

this day.

He announced at the court meeting: "The envoys from Northern Yan negotiating peace have arrived at the border of Qingzhou. The envoys from Western Chu heard that the envoys from Northern Yan were coming and decided to stay to witness the peace negotiations between Northern Yan and Dongling."

"After fighting for so many years, Dongling finally got back a win. This time Beiyan went to Dongling to seek peace as the loser. This is proof of the strength of Dongling, and it is also a good start!"

At this point, Emperor Yuan Zhen's tone changed, and he became so proud: "In the future, I, Dongling, will surely dominate the world, win over all foreigners, and come to court from all directions!"

The ministers knelt down and sang their praises again: "God bless Dongling, Your Majesty is wise!"

Suddenly, Emperor Yuan Zhen's eyes fell on Bai Mingwei: "General Zhenbei, when the envoy from Beiyan arrives outside Yujing City, go and greet him on my behalf."

Before Bai Mingwei could reply, Shen Zhi'an, the Minister of Household Affairs, immediately knelt down:
"Your Majesty, I think it is inappropriate. Beiyan was defeated by General Zhenbei, and he must hate General Zhenbei to the core."

"Going to greet the envoy with General Zhenbei may intensify conflicts and affect the peace process this time. I ask your Majesty to go with the Ministry of Rites to greet him."

The Minister of Rites was named, but he said nothing.

Originally, his Department of Etiquette was responsible for this kind of thing.

When Emperor Yuan Zhen heard this, he lowered his face in displeasure:
"Shen Aiqing's words are wrong. It is precisely because Beiyan was defeated by my General Zhenbei. Only by having General Zhenbei go to greet the envoys of Beiyan can we intimidate Beiyan and demonstrate the majesty of our country in Dongling."

Speaking of this, he looked at Bai Mingwei: "What do you say, General Zhenbei? You can't even do this little thing, right?"

Bai Mingwei sneered in her heart, how could she not know what the emperor was thinking.

Just as Lord Shen said, Beiyan must have a grudge against her because he was defeated by her.

Although the envoys came to negotiate peace this time, it did not mean that they would play tricks on others.

It is bound to give her a hard time to relieve her bad temper.

The emperor asked her to greet the envoy from Beiyan, just to give her little shoes to wear.Thinking about this, Bai Ming responded slightly: "My lord, I obey the order."

The reason why she deserves to be so straightforward also has her own purpose.

At this time, she had just taken office, and she was a woman. The military generals who worked with her in the court had many opinions on her.

If you want to change these people's minds, you must do something that will make them surrender.

But if there is no military action, she will have no chance to make a big impact.

The emperor's move could be said to be that he was dozing off and handed her a pillow, which played into her heart.

When Emperor Yuan Zhen saw that she agreed, he felt proud in his heart, so he spoke again: "Welcoming the envoy from Beiyan is no small matter. The battles have to be staged, and people can't make Dongling a joke."

"As for the process, you can ask the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites will fully cooperate with you; you can also choose people from the court at will, and no one is allowed to refuse you."

"However, this privilege is limited to those of the same level as you or your subordinates. If you are of a higher level than you, you must seek my opinion."

Bai Mingwei smiled again when he heard the words.

Emperor Yuan Zhen's words seemed like he was giving her enough privileges, but in reality he was digging a hole for her to jump into.

It is really unreasonable to send out only third-rank officials to welcome envoys from a country.

Naturally, one or two first-level officials must be invited to sit in order to appear solemn.

Emperor Yuan Zhen must have been thinking that the person she asked to accompany her must be a minister who was close to her or who would not embarrass her.

If anything goes wrong when she welcomes the envoy, sending Qin Fengye to deal with it will not only make her look useless, but also reflect Qin Fengye's ability from the side.

Really good at calculating!

Thinking of this, Bai Ming said slightly: "I ask for your Majesty's approval, and I will assist you, Grand Master, to greet the envoy from Beiyan."

As soon as these words came out, Emperor Yuan Zhen's face froze.

Qin Fengye sneered: "General Zhenbei, if you ask me to assist you, will your face be too big?"

Bai Ming smiled and said: "Your Majesty, your words are wrong. Your Majesty ordered the general to be solely responsible for welcoming the envoys of Beiyan. Then the rest of the people will naturally assist the general."

"The Grand Master must have heard what your Majesty just said. The general is just asking for your Majesty's permission to make demands within the scope of His Majesty's permission."

"What does this have to do with the size of the general's face? Master Taishi, if you don't want to cooperate with the general, just say so. Why do you need to personally attack the general?"

"The last general will eat the king's salary and share the king's worries. Everything he says and does is within the scope of his responsibilities. He has never thought of doing things based on his face. I also ask the Grand Master not to have similar misunderstandings about the last general. .”
