The Invincible Sixth Prince

Imperial City.

The Xiqu delegation led by Danqu has arrived at the imperial city.

Yesterday, Yun Li ordered Gu Xiu to lead people out of the imperial city to welcome the Xiqu delegation, and hosted a banquet for the Xiqu delegation in Wanshou Palace last night.

Today, Emperor Wen, who had not attended court for a long time, returned to court and accepted an audience with the Xiqu delegation on behalf of Daqian.

Originally, Emperor Wen did not need to attend court, but Gu Xiu received news that Xiqu might become a vassal and pay tribute to Daqian, so Emperor Wen returned to court.

"The Xuanxiqu delegation is here to meet you!"

Following Mu Shun's loud shout, Danqu and several key members of the Xiqu delegation slowly walked into the hall.

After a moment, Danqu stopped and slowly knelt down.

As Danqu knelt down, the members of the Xiqu delegation also knelt down one after another.

Danqu shouted: "Little envoy Danqu, bring the Xiqu delegation to see the Emperor of Daqian!"

As he spoke, Danqu slowly bowed down until his forehead touched the ground.

Seeing Danqu being so respectful, Emperor Wen couldn't help but feel puzzled.

Does Xiqu really want to submit and pay tribute?

Yun Li on the side was secretly happy.

Regarding Xiqu's submission and tribute, Gu Xiu's words to Emperor Wen were somewhat ambiguous, but the answer he gave him was affirmative.

Once Xiqu submits to Daqian, Daqian will gain the largest vassal state in history.

The key point is that this was achieved during his time as the crown prince and regent!

And this is his achievement!

If this succeeds, his prestige as the crown prince will be greatly enhanced!

From now on, let’s see who dares to say that the court is useless!

After a moment, Emperor Wen came back to his senses and said with a smile, "No need to be polite!"

"Thank you Emperor Daqian!"

Danqu thanked him again and then slowly stood up.

Emperor Wen sighed softly and said leisurely, "I heard that Saint King Sangjie was in trouble. I was saddened and regretful! Saint King Sangjie was a great leader. I have never met him in this life. It is a great regret in my life! When your envoy returns to Xiqu someday, please burn a stick of incense for Saint King Sangjie on my behalf."

Upon hearing this, Danqu bowed and said, "As you command! I thank His Majesty on behalf of my king."

"You are too polite."

Emperor Wen nodded and chuckled, then asked, "I wonder why your Excellency has personally led the Xiqu delegation to visit our Daqian?"

"Daqian is prosperous and the emperor of Daqian is powerful! King Qinpu has admired Daqian for a long time and begs to submit to Daqian!"

As he spoke, Danqu took the letter from another person, held it high above his head, and slowly knelt down, saying loudly: "Xiqu is willing to be a vassal of Daqian for generations, pay tribute to Daqian, and beg the Emperor of Daqian to grant us permission!"

"I beg the Emperor Daqian to grant my permission!"

As Danqu finished speaking, the members of the Xiqu delegation knelt down and kowtowed to the ground, showing great respect.

Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, all the officials in the court were delighted, and everyone's face was filled with excitement.

Mu Shun hurried forward, took the letter from Danqu, and presented it to Emperor Wen respectfully.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! May Daqian prosper and all the nations submit to it!"

Gu Xiu came back to his senses and was the first to shout.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Daqian is prosperous and all the four directions are submissive."

The next moment, all the ministers followed suit and shouted.

Hearing the deafening congratulations, Emperor Wen was stunned.

Did Xiqu really take the initiative to ask for submission?

Is this still the Xiqu that I am familiar with?

The former tribes of Moxi were also a major concern for Daqian and the biggest threat besides Beihuan.

Before the various tribes in western Mo were unified, none of them paid tribute to Daqian.

Now, Xiqu has unified all the tribes west of the desert and actually took the initiative to request to become a vassal state of Daqian?

This happiness came so suddenly!

After a long moment of daze, Emperor Wen suppressed his excitement and said slowly, "Messengers, please stand up!"

"Thank you Emperor Daqian!"

The next moment, Emperor Wen couldn't wait to take the letter from Mu Shun.

As Emperor Wen read the contents of the letter, his hands were shaking and he was extremely excited.

However, the letter did not specify the items and quantities of tribute, so it seems that further discussion is needed.

Emperor Wen tried hard to suppress the excitement in his heart and make his expression a little calmer.

But no matter how he suppressed it, his inner joy and excitement were still revealed in the details.

calm down!

The more this happens, the more we need to stay calm!

Emperor Wen kept reminding himself in his heart.

"Cough cough..."

Suddenly, Emperor Wen began to cough softly.

"Father!"

Yun Li hurried forward and asked with concern: "Father, are you okay?"

"Cough cough..."

Emperor Wen coughed again, motioned for Mu Shun to help him up, and then ordered Yun Li: "I suddenly feel unwell, you preside over the court meeting for me, and do not neglect the envoys, cough cough..."

"My son, I obey."

Yun Li took the order.

Emperor Wen stood up with the help of Mu Shun, and looked at Danqu apologetically: "I am really sorry. I will talk to you in detail when I feel better."

"Your Majesty, you are too kind! Your Majesty's Holy Body is more important!"

Danqu remained respectful, without a trace of unhappiness on his face, but instead was filled with ecstasy in his heart.

It seems that Emperor Wen will not live long!

Once Emperor Wen dies, Yun Zheng will definitely rebel!

God bless Xiqu!

Amid the respectful farewells of the crowd, Emperor Wen was supported and left by Mu Shun.

When he returned to the palace, Emperor Wen's sickly look instantly disappeared. "The imperial physician will be here soon. Let them wait outside first."

"Yes!"

Mu Shun obeyed the order.

Emperor Wen picked up the letter again and read it word by word.

However, he looked at it for a long time but still couldn't understand anything from the letter.

Xiqu suddenly took the initiative to request submission. Was it really just because of the internal strife, or were there other reasons?

Could it be that Lao Liu put too much pressure on Xiqu, and Xiqu had no choice but to resort to this method to protect itself?

However, given Lao Liu's rebellious temperament, even if Xiqu voluntarily surrendered, he would definitely find ways to weaken Xiqu.

The huge Xiqu, whether it submits or not, will inevitably pose a huge threat to Daqian.

That rebellious son would never allow Xiqu to exist in its current form.

Or is it that Lao Liu is going to use military force against Xiqu?

Xiqu wants to eliminate the threat from the imperial court first and then focus on dealing with Lao Liu?

Doesn’t that rebellious son want to use military force against the Le Dynasty?

It should be impossible for him to use troops against the Le Dynasty and Xiqu at the same time, right?

Or maybe, Chinpu was sidelined by Suzan?

Emperor Wen thought about it for a long time but still could not determine Xiqu's true purpose.

However, the emperor's suspicious character still made him feel that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

Emperor Wen shook his head slightly and ordered Mu Shun: "Let the imperial physician come in!"

As he spoke, Emperor Wen lay down on the couch and coughed gently a few times.

"Yes!"

Soon, the imperial physician entered the bedroom to treat Emperor Wen.

Emperor Wen coughed from time to time and looked very weak, but the imperial physician could not diagnose the specific illness. He could only confirm that Emperor Wen was indeed weak.

In the end, the imperial physician, who was afraid to use medicine indiscriminately, could only prescribe a prescription for clearing heat and moistening the lungs for Emperor Wen, intending to wait for Emperor Wen to take it for two days to see the effect.

Emperor Wen sat up again only after the imperial physician left.

After thinking for a while, Emperor Wen ordered Mu Shun, "Go and tell the Crown Prince and the Queen later that I am not feeling well. I order the Crown Prince to hold a family banquet at the Crown Prince's Mansion to entertain Danqu. I order the Queen to bring Crown Prince Wanpin to the Crown Prince's Mansion to attend the banquet on my behalf..."
