Chapter 362: Slap a dragon's fart
On the way to Jinluan Palace, Eunuch Fu briefly told Hong Xiaoduo about the situation there.
That is, the foreign envoys may have felt that something was wrong, so they asked for an audience just after lunch without waiting for the emperor's call.
"The adults guessed that it might be because they didn't get any advantage during the morning discussion, but they thought the only opium that could turn over the money was stopped midway, so we couldn't sit still.
If we really don’t want their opium anymore, there will probably be trouble.” Eunuch Fu looked at Hong Xiaoduo and couldn’t help but talk more.
Logically speaking, it was inappropriate for a eunuch like him to talk about such political matters, but he just didn't know why and just wanted to talk to Hong Xiaoduo.
"It's useless to make trouble. You can't compromise and continue to buy harmful things just because you're afraid of them making trouble! I think you were too polite to them in the past and spoiled them." Hong Xiaoduo He responded disapprovingly.
While talking, they arrived outside Jinluan Hall. Mr. Fu made a routine announcement outside. When translator Hong arrived, he immediately responded inside.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Hong Xiaoduo felt that the atmosphere inside was a bit tense.
In the temple, the foreign envoys were on the left side with a straight face.
The ministers from Fengliang Kingdom didn't look very good either.
Hong Xiaoduo took Kaiyang with him, first greeted the emperor in front of him, and then stood on the right side.
Cao Shangshu quickly told Hong Xiaoduo what had just happened. It turned out that while waiting for her to arrive, the foreign missions protested, accusing Fengliang Kingdom of disrespecting them and stopping the negotiation immediately. .
It is indeed a bit rude to stop the discussion as soon as possible. Therefore, several people from Fengliang Kingdom felt a little guilty. Some people complained in a low voice that it was Hong Xiaoduo's fault for not handling it well. Originally, It is reasonable but now it is being used to make excuses.
However, Cao Shangshu did not dare to tell Hong Xiaoduo this.
For some reason, Cao Shangshu felt that although offending a foreign mission was a big problem, offending this girl would have even more serious consequences.
"Your Majesty, will the women of the country be free to express themselves next? Or do you have any ideas?" After listening to Cao Shangshu's words, Hong Xiaoduo turned sideways and asked the person in front of him.
The ministers standing on her side were speechless. Listen, is this true? How could anyone talk to the emperor like this?
Still free to play? Things have been messed up, aren't you thinking about how to make up for it? Even if opium is not a good thing, you still have to think of how to say it so as not to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries, right?
At the foreign mission, the translator also translated what Hong Xiaoduo just said to his own people.
After hearing this, the members of the mission were also surprised. After looking at Hong Xiaoduo in disbelief, they all looked at the man on the dragon chair.
Both sides are waiting for the response from the one on the throne. They won’t really let this girl express herself freely! This is no child's play!
Facing the gaze of everyone, the emperor on the dragon throne actually felt as if he was being roasted on a fire.
At this time, he was very conflicted. There seemed to be two voices arguing in his head. One said, don't let this girl fool around, it's a national matter!
The other said, let her do whatever she wants.
The emperor raised his hand to Hong Xiaoduo and made a gesture: "Come here."
Let me go. Do the people from the two countries below really believe in her so much?
Hong Xiaoduo also felt the emperor's entanglement just now. She had already thought about it. If the emperor couldn't bear the pressure and wanted to compromise, then she would take Kaiyang and leave, too lazy to care about such nonsense. Okay, let's do whatever you want. At worst, I could just go back and tell the seven children carefully not to touch the opium.
Unexpectedly, the emperor actually believed in him. Well, it was not in vain that she just said good things to him at the queen's place.
Hong Xiaoduo received the emperor's permission, turned to Kaiyang and said, "Please translate my words later." After speaking, he stood up, looked at the foreign envoys with his hands behind his back and asked in English: " I just heard that you have a big opinion?”
The envoy of the foreign mission has finally been confirmed. This negotiation suffered a setback because of this female translator.
So, Hong Xiaoduo vented his anger on them. Why are you disrespecting them? Do you still want opium? No sincerity or anything.
Hong Xiaoduo listened to the other party with an extremely calm expression, not annoyed or impatient at all, until the other party shut up.
Kaiyang not only translated what Hong Xiaoduo said to the mission, but also translated the accusation just made by the other party.
The people from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites looked at their Majesty the Emperor and said to themselves, I wish you could be as calm as you look on the face.
At this time, Hong Xiaoduo said: "Is it my turn to speak? Your Excellency also mentioned the word respect, but respect is mutual. When the envoys arrive, our country, Fengliang, treats each other with courtesy, and your country Well, you just raise the price arbitrarily because you respect us?
This behavior of yours is unethical. Is this a friendly trade exchange? You guys are here to extort money, right?
You even threatened to ask, do you want opium?" At this point, Hong Xiaoduo suddenly remembered and turned to look at the emperor: "How about that thing? ?”
Well, you still know to ask me!
I think you just don’t want to take responsibility!
The emperor sat upright and said: "Since opium does more harm than good to people, it's okay not to use it."
"Your majesty is a saint, and we are the people of Fengliang Kingdom." Hong Xiaoduo gave a rare flattery, No, it’s a dragon fart!
Then Hong Xiaoduo faced the envoy again and saw that the other party's translator had already translated what she and the emperor had said.
"You heard it? Our Majesty has discovered the dangers of opiates to the human body. Therefore, we don’t want them this year, and we don’t plan to want them in the future. You can keep them for yourselves." Hong Xiaoduo said these words When I saw it, I was very happy and in a good mood.
Mainly, the emperor of Fengliang Kingdom is really good, and he mainly listens to advice.
After learning about the harmful effects of opiates on the human body, I decided not to buy them again without any thought or consideration.
So, Hong Xiaoduo decided to go back and chat with Mr. Wei.
The other party’s delegation was furious when they heard this, and asked loudly, opium is a good thing, and their own citizens are using it. If it were not for the sake of friendly relations between the two countries, no matter how high the price was, they would not pay it. The person who sold it to Fengliang Country also said that there were many countries that wanted that good thing.
I also asked, where did I hear that opium is harmful to people? I don’t know what the opium plant looks like or how to extract it, so I’m just talking nonsense here.
If you find it expensive and don’t want to spend money, just say so. Don’t use such despicable excuses.
After listening to Kaiyang's translation, the emperor and Master Cao both looked at Hong Xiaoduo. How should they respond to this? She has never seen that thing before it was refined, right?
If you haven’t seen it, you can’t talk nonsense, it will make people laugh...
