Chapter 76: The State of Liang exerts pressure

When Jun Jiuning asked this, Eunuch Liu's face, which was not very tight, suddenly wrinkled: "Your Highness, you don't know that the Liang State has actually openly ordered the ban on trade between the imperial merchants and our Chu State. Isn't this to show the emperor's face?!"

Jun Jiuning was stunned: "Is it because of me?"

Eunuch Liu didn't dare to make a judgment without authorization, and hurriedly explained: "I don't know this slave. Now the emperor is angry again, so how dare I ask!"

Seeing that Eunuch Liu was in a dilemma with a wooden plate, and he was a palace servant and didn't know much, Jun Jiuning had to let him go down first.

She was wearing a pair of jade hands and stayed at the door in a mess.

The Chu State is rich in silk, cotton cloth and other garment materials, while the Liang State is a neighboring country with a large population, which is their biggest buyer.

Although Liang State only ordered the imperial merchants not to do business with Chu State, other private merchants were affected by this and would definitely not dare to trade with Chu people.

By then, the people's livelihood and the economy of the court will be affected!

Is this the regent's method, using the economic lifeline of Chu to put pressure on them just to make Jun Jiuning marry him as his wife?

Jun Jiuning really wanted to run to the Regent, grab his ear and ask why he didn't do serious things to unify the world, but instead focused on her an insignificant woman.

She wanted to roar in the ear of the Regent: Do you know that your enemy is Mu Yun or not Chu?

Perhaps seeing Jun Jiuning's face looked ugly, and after standing at the door for a long time, a little eunuch took the initiative to ask: "Your Highness, why don't you go and send me a message to you?"

He didn't deliberately lower his voice, and the ears of Emperor Wen inside heard it effortlessly: "Ning'er is outside? Let her come in."

Jun Jiuning suddenly felt that the gift list in his arms was like a hot potato.

If I take it out later, it will cause trouble to Emperor Wen. If I don’t take it out, it seems that I just delayed the trouble for two days.

Jun Jiuning went in anyway.

Although Emperor Wen had just got angry, he tried his best to suppress his emotions when facing his daughter and looked at her lovingly: "What's wrong with Ning'er?"

Jun Jiu turned his blessed body, took out the thin gift list from his arms, walked over and handed it to Emperor Wen: "This is the gift prepared by the Regent of Liang State for his daughter."

She deliberately took the word "congratulations" very seriously, and Emperor Wen looked at the gift list and his face became heavier and heavier.

After reading it, Emperor Wen slapped the gift list on the table and said lightly: "My Chu State doubles the price and returns the Regent to him."

The tone of his words seemed to be a red envelope for the New Year. The generous parents added a few more copper coins to make their children happy for the sake of face.

Who would have thought that this "double" is the amount of gold in the unit of ten thousand taels?

Jun Jiuning was shocked: "Father! This..."

Originally, the treasury of Chu State was not abundant, let alone a frontier battle with Zhao State, and the military expenditure was too large.

Now it is not the time to collect taxes. If they really follow the things on the gift list and return them to Liang State by double the amount, their treasury will be emptied!

If other countries take the opportunity to harass Chu and try to start a war, they will not be able to afford it!

Understanding the interests, Jun Jiu said anxiously: "Father, you must not, this will empty the treasury! If Liang State finds a reason to start a war with us, we will be unable to fight."

Emperor Wen could naturally think of the disadvantages of this move.

But Emperor Wen had no choice. The order of Liang State was issued early this morning, which means that they had already made arrangements.

If it weren't for the Chu State's eyeliner that Feige, who was inserted into Liang State, had sent a letter to inform him of this matter, it would have been several days before the news could reach Emperor Wen's ears.

It will be too late to think of countermeasures at that time, and Zhao State also produces fabrics. If Zhao State takes the opportunity to steal this wealth path, then their Chu State may have to surrender to Zhao State.

At present, he sent back the gift that Liang State gave to Jun Jiuning twice. One was to dispel the Regent's idea of ​​Jun Jiuning, and the other was to show kindness to the other party. Emperor Wen would also send some envoys to negotiate and ask Liang State to cancel this decision.

After hearing his explanation, Jun Jiuning wanted to say something, but she felt bitter: she couldn't persuade Emperor Wen because Emperor Wen's actions were the ultimate they could do now.

In fact, there is not an easier way - let Jun Jiuning marry.

But Emperor Wen was reluctant to let it go.

This daughter was raised in his palm, and she looked so much like his beloved deceased wife.

Jun Jiu Ning leaned beside him and acted coquettishly, which was the best comfort in his fatigue day after day.

In the eyes of Emperor Wen, the Regent's Mansion is a place where people eat and not spit out bones. The one who is even more moody was unpredictable. He would definitely not be at ease to let Jun Jiuning go to that kind of place to spend the rest of his life.

Jun Jiuning's eyes were filled with many worries, and he just looked at Emperor Wen quietly, as if he was apologizing, and seemed to be grateful. Emperor Wen laughed at her and couldn't help but sigh: "Ning'er, you have really grown up."

I know I feel sorry for my dad.

Eunuch Liu bowed his head and stepped in on tiptoe, with a cup of hot tea placed in the lacquered wooden plate on his hands.

He put the teacup on Emperor Wen's table, took two steps back, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I just saw the Lord Liang and his people coming to Zhengtai Hall."

Emperor Wen's eyes turned cold: "I understand, you go down first."

He handed the gift list back to Jun Jiuning and forced a kind smile: "Ning'er, go back first. I will send someone to arrange this matter."

Jun Jiuning held the thin paper in his hand, but he stopped talking, but in the end he didn't say anything and bowed down.

But before he could leave the gate of Zhengtai Hall, he ran into the Lord Liang.

She felt unhappy and just sneered at the other party and greeted her: "Good Lord."

It was the first time that the Lord Liang Dynasty met Jun Jiuning, and at first glance, he was shocked by her appearance.

It is said that the eldest princess of Chu is a peerless beauty. Now it seems that this statement is not groundless.

They were stunned for a while, and then they found that there seemed to be some unfriendly meaning to him in the eyes of the star of the other party, so they deliberately smiled and said, "How can the princess leave the door today? Didn't she have a hidden disease?"

Jun Jiuning replied unwillingly: "I do have hidden diseases. If you cannot see ugly people, you will feel uncomfortable and have headaches all day long. Therefore, it is really rude to not receive foreign guests two days ago. But now it seems that I still have to rest for this disease, and I will get sick again when I go back later."

She means they are ugly?!

The Lord Liang was so angry that his face turned pale. Just as he wanted to refute, Eunuch Liu came out and shouted: "Yeah, isn't this the Lord Master! Please come in, the emperor is waiting for you!"

Jun Jiu had finished his anger and agreed, "Yes, Lord, don't let my father wait for a long time - in the rules of Liang State, the Lord is not talking about this situation, right?"
