The Peasant Girl’s Concubine’s Name Moves the World

Chapter 221: The Provocation of Dongling Kingdom

The envoy of Dongling Kingdom stood up first: "Emperor Nalan, I heard that the Empress Dowager likes to listen to music. Our emperor specially sent a famous musician from Dongling Country to play a piece of music to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday."

The emperor smiled and said: "Emperor Dongling has a heart! Last year's song was really impressive! Just like the sounds of nature, will it be more beautiful this year? I'm really looking forward to it. Empress Dowager, are you right?"

"Of course it is. Thank you Emperor Dongling for your concern. The Aijia is all ears!"

The Dongdou envoy glanced at the girl beside him.

Huang Yuying stood up and gave a blessing: "Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, I heard that the people of Nalan country advocate ritual and music. The music of Nalan country is unparalleled in the world, which can cleanse the soul! Yuying, as the second largest musician of Dongling country, came to participate in the birthday banquet. , I am deeply honored! I wonder if there is a chance to learn from the musicians of the Nalan Kingdom and appreciate the style of the great country?"

The emperor looked at Huang Yuying with a half-smile but not a smile: "Of course it is possible! I don't know how the Dongling envoy wants to learn from each other?"

"I will play the piece I composed for your musicians, and the musicians in your country will also play their own pieces for me. Whoever plays the opponent's piece well will win?"

"Yes!" Emperor Nalan readily responded.

At this time, the envoy of Dongling Kingdom opened his mouth again: "Since it is a competition, it would be boring if you don't come out with a lottery! Why don't you do it like this, if Nalan National Musician wins, we will add 20% of the tribute salt from Dongling Kingdom and sell it to The price of salt in the Nalan Kingdom is also reduced by a penny; if our Dongling Kingdom wins, how about a 20% reduction in our Dongling Kingdom’s tribute?!”

Ministers: Here again!

Shameless Dongling people!

There are very few salt lakes in Nalan, and sea salt cannot be eaten. Therefore, what Emperor Taizu asked for tribute from Dongling Kingdom was salt, and the amount was almost enough for half of the people in the country back then!

However, there were few people back then, but now there are dozens of times more people, which is far from enough!

If it is not enough, it has to be purchased at a high price from Dongling and other countries, so the salt of Nalan has always been very expensive.

I lost 20% of the tribute last year, that is, 10,000 tons of salt, and the price of salt has risen by 1 penny.

Another 20% reduction this year is unimaginable!

Therefore, the officials of Nalan Kingdom are anxious!

Someone couldn't help rolling their eyes and said:

"Congratulations on birthdays, why don't you come up with a good match and present a song! Is this a sincere wish for your birthday?"

These Dongling people are repeating their old tricks, who will be fooled by them? !

"It's not! Those who don't know think that your Dongling Kingdom is not keeping your promises, making excuses and not wanting to pay tribute any more!"

The lessons from last year are still vivid in my mind!

Still want to chat? no way!

Definitely not fooled!

The envoy of Xihua Kingdom said, "The envoy of Dongling Kingdom just wanted to be entertained, but what kind of excitement is there in the performance! But since Nalan Kingdom can't compare, Dongling Kingdom, you can forget it! "

The envoy of the Southern Border Kingdom was a woman, who was extraordinarily petite and graceful. At this time, she also smiled and said, "Miss Yuying from Dongling, do you want to experience the rites and music of the great country? I don't think it is necessary! Dare not, I think that the world-famous ritual and music is also a vain name! If you dare not fight this cowardly behavior, you will win!"

Huang Yuying smiled: "Yuying will play a song for the Queen Mother now, so that the Queen Mother can feel the spirit of our Dongling music - don't give up easily, never give up!"

All the civil and military officials were burning with anger!

These people are fanning the flames, and it is becoming more and more obvious that they are not too big of a deal!

Not all of them want to take the opportunity without paying tribute!

Tanglin Kingdom has developed rapidly in recent decades.

Dongling Country is located in the southernmost part of the mainland, with a warm climate and fertile land, with an average grain yield of more than 500 catties per mu!

The yield per mu is more than 100 catties more than that of Nalan!

In addition, there are many salt lakes in Dongling country, and the annual income from selling salt to the treasury is very high!

The weather is good and the rain is good, the people are well-dressed, and the treasury has more money!

Emperor Dongling is also an emperor who is very talented in governing the country, so his development is super fast!

They don't want to pay tribute to Nalan anymore.

But Nalan will naturally not agree! After all, it was Emperor Taizu of Nalan Kingdom who helped Dongling Kingdom drive away the invasion of Nanjiang Kingdom, and the lord of Dongling Kingdom offered to pay tribute!

Now what's the matter!

The Minister of Rites snorted coldly and stood up: "The two of you are wrong, it's not that our Nalan country dares to discuss each other, but we are just polite, I don't want you to lose, and we say that our Nalan country bullies the affiliated countries, and we are worried about you again. Add 20% of the tribute, minus one cent."

The Dongling messenger was disdainful in his heart, and said respectfully: "So it is! Our country of Dongling is rich in land and resources, and there are many salt lakes, so it is not worse than that 20%! If the country of Dongling loses, we will add another 20%!"

The emperor smiled: "We Nalan country can't afford to lose! Let's try according to the words of the Dongling envoy! If your Dongling country loses, then add another 40% of the tribute, and the price of salt will also be reduced by a penny! You all have to find a way to get this gift from Lingguo!"

The ministers' expressions changed when they heard this!

How to get it? This Huang Yuying is the younger sister of last year's Huang Yuyan, and she is even more talented!

Sitting there warmly and quietly watching the provocations of various countries, I thought: How can the dignity of a great country be trampled on? This must be compared! Otherwise, it will be even more insane in the future!

The Prime Minister immediately said: "Why should the emperor pay attention to these little tricks! Let's learn from the great musicians of our Nalan country! Not everyone is worthy of it!"

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is right! We Nalan won, and Dongling Kingdom will not admit it, so why compare!"

The emperor raised his hand: "No need to say more! Otherwise, everyone will think that our Nalan country is a coward and a coward!"

"The emperor is the emperor, that kind of mind and bearing, I really can't compare with Xiao Xiao!" The envoy of Dongling Kingdom saw that the strategy had succeeded again, and said with a smile.

Huang Yuying also agreed: "The great country of Yangyang really has the demeanor of the great country of Yangyang! I don't know which great musician Nalan country sent to discuss?"

Huang Yuying knew that the famous musicians of Nalan Kingdom once were old and dead! There is no successor!

The empress dowager has good piano skills, can the empress dowager compare?

Aren't you afraid of losing face and being thrown into the Four Great Powers?

Dongling Kingdom also made up its mind that Nalan Kingdom could not refuse!

The dignity of a big country can't be provoked casually!

The emperor shook his head: "A small competition, where do we need our country's great musicians! A musician selected from the folks can handle it!"

Huang Yuying didn't seem to hear the insult in her words, and smiled: "The great country is indeed full of talents! Yuying needs to learn a lot!"

Wen Wan Solo was very excited when she was told that the emperor had chosen her to discuss with the envoys of Dongling Kingdom!

Finally it was her turn.

She wants to become famous all over the world!

She must win this game, defeat the Tanglin Kingdom, and win glory for the country!
