Chapter 1653

1329. The Malaga envoy

This shy daughter made Zhao Dongting stunned again.

He found that when facing such a stunning beauty as Ashima, his willpower was really far from as firm as he thought.

This is probably a common problem for men. He can't walk when he sees a beautiful woman. He used to think that Ashima was a man, but now he knows that she is a woman...

"Ahem!"

Zhao Dongting coughed twice, not daring to look at Ashima again, so he lowered his head to review the memorials.

But only he knows what he really thinks about memorials.

Ashima's pretty face turned slightly red, she walked to the side and sat down without saying anything.

Li Goudan scratched his head, his eyes were puzzled, and he had no idea why the two of them showed this. He only felt that both of them looked a little strange.

And at this moment, an eunuch outside the door suddenly reported: "Emperor, an envoy from the Manraka Kingdom is asking for a visit outside the palace."

Zhao Dongting and Ashima were both stunned in the room, and then a little worried appeared in Ashima's eyes.

The Malaga suddenly sent envoys to the Song Dynasty, and so silently, she could not help but go back to figure out the intentions of the Malaga state.

The Malarga army was defeated by the Song Dynasty Navy in the South China Sea area and was defeated. What would he want to do if he sent envoys to come?

Zhao Dongting looked at Ashima and shouted outside the imperial study room: "Xuan!"

He had not received any news that the Malacca was going to send envoys, but he did not need to doubt the identities of these Malacca envoys.

The guards inside and outside the palace were not decorations, and if they had not determined the identities of those envoys, they would not have come to report it easily.

Ashima looked at Zhao Dongting and asked, "Emperor of Heaven, does Ashima need to avoid it?"

Judging from her appearance, she obviously doesn't want to leave.

Zhao Dongting also knew Ashima's thoughts, shook his head and chuckled, "No need, the prince is just sitting here."

A slight gratitude appeared in Ashima's eyes.

Only she can stay here, no matter what the intention of the Malaga envoy came to see the Emperor of Heaven, she still has room for improvement.

Less than two quarters of an hour passed, and the door of the Yu Study Room was opened from outside.

Tieliduo, Mo Wendao, two Wuding Hall enshrines brought two quite strange people into the imperial study room.

Judging from the appearance, it is not much different from that of the people of the Song Dynasty, but the face is a little darker.

As soon as they entered the house, both of them were holding hands in front of their chests and bowing to Zhao Dongting.

The man in front said something, and the man next to him translated: "The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Malacca, Xideli, had met the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."

Minister of Foreign Affairs.

This name is Zhao Dongting, and he was a minister who was specifically responsible for foreign affairs in Malacca, Yue Li Dynasty and other countries.

I didn't expect that this time the Manraka interview was so formal that even the Foreign Minister rushed over in person. And it was approaching the end of the Song Dynasty.

He nodded softly and said, "Mr. Xideli is polite. I wonder what happened to Mr. Xideli suddenly came to see me?"

Xideli obviously couldn't understand Chinese, and his eyes just swept through the room. When he passed the silent Ashima, he showed a little strange color.

Although he may not know Ashima's identity, he must have seen some clues from Ashima's clothing.

A hidden light flowed through his eyes.

It was not until the man next to him translated Zhao Dongting's words with him that he answered again, "Shideli came on the order of the king and wanted to ask why Emperor Song started a war with the army of Manraga overseas."

Zhao Dongting sneered: "Bo Ni, Ma Yi are all my Song ally. You declare war on Bo Ni and Ma Yi. How could I stand by and watch?"

His eyes were full of sharpness.

Sidli looked at Ashima, but he was talking about him, "I don't know this person is..."

Zhao Dongting shrugged, "This is the prince of the Boni Kingdom. I'm here to learn how to govern the country in the Song Dynasty."

Sidli's face became a little ugly.

Zhao Dongting let Ashima stay here without hesitation, and explaining Ashima's identity undoubtedly shows his firm support for Boni.

But Sid Li Zi would not give up like this.

He chuckled twice and said, "The Emperor of Song really values ​​faith and righteousness, which made Xideli admire him. Boni and Ma Yi are both overseas countries, and their national strength is equal. Xideli thinks that the power of the two countries is not qualified to become ally with the Song Dynasty. Xideli came here on behalf of the king. He wanted to present a letter of alliance for the king. Our Manraga country is willing to become ally with the Song Dynasty. As long as the Song Dynasty is no longer hostile to our Manraga country in the future, Ma Yi and Boni will be willing to offer twice the tribute coins submitted to the Song Dynasty every year."

He had a strong sense of confidence in his eyes.

As Ashima listened, her face suddenly looked ugly and she snorted coldly: "I'm so arrogant!"

But she really couldn't argue.

The Malaga, which was supported by the Yue Li Dynasty and other countries, is now strong, and it is indeed not something that Boni and Ma Yi can compete with.

After saying that, she looked at Zhao Dongting and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty the Emperor of Heaven, our Boni Kingdom is willing to offer double the annual monies every year in the future, no, three times!"

She couldn't help but speak. Although she was heartbroken, she was even more worried that Zhao Dongting would be moved by Xi Deli's promised interests.

If the Song Dynasty and the Manlaga became allies, they would not help the Manlaga, even if they did not help each other, their Boni would probably have the end of destroying the country.

"No, no, no!"

Zhao Dongting waved his hand and chuckled, "The prince doesn't have to make such a promise, I can't afford it."

His words were so sarcastic that made Ashima's face pale in an instant, while Sidli showed his sarcasm.

He was quite confident about this mission. Because in his opinion, Emperor Song could not refuse such conditions.

After all, the Malaga is not Boni, and Ma Yi is comparable. If the Song Dynasty and the Malaga join, it means that the Song Dynasty will have extremely powerful allies outside the southern border.

This is definitely a good thing for the Song Dynasty.

But then, I heard Zhao Dongting say: "Bo Ni will still pay tribute according to the number of previous years. I am not such a villain who goes back on his word."

Ashima was surprised, with a strong look of gratitude in her eyes.

Xideli showed disbelief, "Don't Emperor Song want to choose our powerful Manraga, and still want to maintain an ally with Boni and Ma Yi?"

Zhao Dongting smiled contemptuously, "Maybe you think your Manraga is a powerful country, but in the eyes of our Song Dynasty, what are you? Boni and Ma Yi have been intimate with our dynasty for a long time. How could I do something to betray because of this little benefit?"

Xi Deli really underestimated him too much.

His ambition has never been just an alliance with the Malacca, the Li Dynasty and other countries, but to make the Song Dynasty the hegemony of this world!

Malarga is just a small country. It only talks about tribute, but not about bowing down and chasing. How could Zhao Dongting be moved?

Furthermore, even if Malacca is willing to bow down, Zhao Dongting's character will definitely not do anything that will betray his allies.

This is the bottom line he sticks to.

Countries pay attention to interests, but as the monarch, Zhao Dongting still pays attention to the word "trust".

A man cannot stand without faith.

Whether in the previous life or this life, Zhao Dongting always adhered to this word.

Xideli couldn't say anything, and some anger appeared in his eyes. Soon, he suppressed again.

He also knew that with the national strength of the Malacca, it was indeed far from comparable to the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, he would not have been beaten so badly by the Song Dynasty overseas.

But he still said with dissatisfaction: "Don't the Emperor of Song feel that our Manraga country is more qualified to be your ally?"

Zhao Dongting said: "I am qualified. But unfortunately, you came too late."

He didn't say some words.

Malaga was beaten so badly by Zhi Yongshou, Chen Diaoyan and others overseas that he did not believe that Malaga would give up this hatred and truly become a firm ally of the Song Dynasty.

When Xideli heard Zhao Dongting's words, his eyes became gloomy, "Did Emperor Song insist on being an enemy of our Manraka?"

Zhao Dongting frowned suddenly, "Are you threatening me?"

Ashima's expression was complicated.

"Don't dare."

Xideli told him all the time, and then said: "It's just that Xideli has heard that there is Tubo invasion in the western border of the Song Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty in the north has always been competing with the Song Dynasty. I don't know if it is true or false?"

He must have received the exact news about these things, but he just said this on purpose.

Zhao Dongting could also hear what Xi Deli meant.

The meaning is that if the Song Dynasty did not form an alliance with the Malayaga, the two countries would be hostile. The Malaya probably wouldn't mind taking advantage of the Song Dynasty under such an opportunity.
