Vol 5 Chapter 49: After the palace banquet, open border trade

"Long live my emperor, long live!" The civil and military officials knelt down and saluted excitedly. Every family has children at a good age for integrity examinations, and they were all cultivated since childhood. Now Dong Chenghu announced that When the imperial examinations are held, they must not faint with excitement.

Tuyuhun's envoys listened to Dong Chenghu's words, and their faces became more solemn. Although they had planned to cooperate with Daqi, they did not want Daqi to be stronger than them, or who could guarantee Daqi Don't have other thoughts?

It doesn't matter what Dawei looks like, in fact, everyone has a plan in their hearts.

After the palace banquet ended, the Zuo family and the Yang family happily left hand in hand. Now they are not only the mansion, but also two more princesses. Their status is completely different. From today From now on, the Yang family of the Zuo family will become the hottest family outside the royal family, and of course, there will also be the Empress's maiden family, Yongan Bofu.

After Dong Qinyan returned to Qingcheng Palace, she immediately saw Feng Qiqin placed on the desk, a flash of thought flashed in her eyes, and ordered the maid beside her: "Take this Feng Qiqin Get up and move out when Ben Gong wants to play!"

The hand that Dong Qinyan showed today deeply convinced these palace maids and eunuchs. After listening to Dong Qinyan's orders, they did not dare to neglect and immediately put Feng Qiqin away carefully.

Wonderful person hesitated to speak, Dong Qinyan waited for a long time without seeing her speak, and asked funny: "What's the matter? If you want to say something, just say it, and hesitate in front of me. ?"

The beautiful and the mandarin duck looked at each other, and then hesitantly said: "Princess, the slave and maid grew up with you, although the princess also learned the piano skills before, but today the princess's piano skills Obviously not at the same level as in the past, the slaves feel a little strange..." The wonderful person also wanted to ask why Dong Qinyan would know about the Wu clan and Feng Qiqin, but she kept her words back.

Dong Qinyan looked at the two of them amusingly, her expression was calm, she slowly sat in front of the Linghua mirror, and said in the sun: "Do you know this is strange? Isn't the place where we are staying now? The palace of the previous dynasty, this palace has already inquired about everything that happened here. There are many secrets about the Daliang royal family in the library building. If you are interested, you can go and see if you have time. Let you read more books, you still don't care about it, now you know the benefits of reading more books!"

"Book?" The beautiful man and the mandarin duck peeped at each other, and the two of them realized that since they entered the palace, the most frequent place for the princess is the library, or she is looking for the former court. The remaining palace maids and eunuchs asked them to tell some secrets from the previous dynasty. At that time, the beautiful and the mandarin duck just thought that Dong Qinyan was bored to do this, but now it seems that it is not so simple.

After listening to Dong Qinyan's explanation, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. The explanation given by Dong Qinyan was very reasonable. They didn't have to be suspicious anymore. Answering for the princess like this, you can still not be scolded.

Dong Qinyan looked in the mirror, as if looking at the two girls in the mirror. Seeing their relief, she couldn't help but smile.

Wonderful and Yuanyang were no longer worried, and instantly became clear, Yuanyang was more lively, and immediately said: "Princess, you saw it today, you just entered the hall, and those people saw your beautiful appearance. The eyes are almost out of the window, even the prince of Wei and Tuyuhun has the same expression, and the princess Jinhe of Tuyuhun is still not convinced by your beauty, but in the end, you are deeply impressed by your talent!"

Speaking of the princes of the two countries, Dong Qinyan's face immediately sank, and she took off the hairpin on her head, thinking for a while: "You go to see my father tomorrow, just say I have had nightmares for the past few days, and asked the royal father to send some more people to guard the Qingcheng Palace."

"Princess! But what's wrong?" Wonderful and Yuanyang couldn't help but get nervous.

Dong Qinyan shook her head, "I hope I'm overthinking it, the prince of Tuyuhun looks like a gentleman, and Tuyuhun has the heart to befriend our country, so naturally he won't do anything out of the ordinary, What I'm worried about is the third prince of the Great Wei, that person is not a good person, you don't know, that guy even dares to interfere with his own father's concubine, there is nothing he can't do."

"What!" Yuanyang's eyes widened in shock, one of them lost his footing and almost fell over.

superior?"

Dong Qinyan rolled her eyes indecently, "What's so strange, the father of the third prince died long ago, and now the emperor Wei is his elder brother, with the emperor Wei covering him, Who can help him? In fact, these things have long been no secret, but the first emperor of Wei has died, who dares to pursue it!"

"Humph! If he dares to attack the princess, Yuanyang will make him inhumane!" Yuanyang clenched his fist and said through gritted teeth. These slaves have learned some boxing skills from Dong Yunlan when they were young. Although they are not masters, they still have some ability to protect Dong Qinyan.

Dong Qinyan couldn't help laughing when she saw the mandarin duck like a calf, "Okay, that's what I said, tomorrow you go to see the emperor, you don't have to say it so clearly, just say me My body is ill, and I need someone to guard Qingcheng Palace, so I won't go out in a short time, and I will go out after the envoy of the Great Wei leaves."

"Princess, this is the palace, your home, you are too cautious!" The wonderful person said incomprehensibly.

Dong Qinyan did not explain any further, only she knew that this palace seemed safe, but how many potential dangers were there, especially those inaccessible courtyards, which could not be said to hide more secrets , Now that she has no spare time to deal with those things, the most important thing in front of her is to protect herself first and get through this.

The second day was the first day of the new year, so there was no need to discuss matters earlier, but because Tuyuhun said that the opening of border trade was extremely important, Dong Chenghu had to call the ministers into the palace again to discuss.

The result of the negotiation is very unanimous. It is agreed to open the border trade between Shu County and Tuyuhun. People from Tuyuhun can go to Shu County to do business with merchants in Daqi, and merchants from Daqi can also enter. Longqi and Tuyuhun merchants trade, but only in these two places.

For this reason, Dong Chenghu had to re-plan Shu County, especially the border defense and city walls, which must be strengthened. In addition, the exits of Shu County to other prefectures and counties in Daqi must be strictly guarded to avoid spies Mixing into Daqi, this pile of pieces requires a lot of money!
