Chapter Thirty-Nine: Visiting Chu Jing at Night
It can't be compared with the prosperity of Yingdu that they have seen all the way, it is obviously deliberate neglect. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The envoys were clamoring and shouting.
From beginning to end, their lord Wang Sunman did not say much, and even picked a random room to go in and found a bunk, and then pressed his small box under his head, and grabbed a stack of quilts and slept with his head bored.
Seeing this, the envoys made even more noise, "Lord Wang has done this, this is what the king should be sad about!"
Wang Sunman didn't care, just put the quilt on his head and smiled in the dark.
This trip to Chu, he had already made all the psychological preparations.
The south is different from the north, the north is still within the jurisdiction of the Zhou Dynasty, even if the vassal states don't buy it, but they will still "respect the king", but now even the Jin State, a princely power with the same surname, is not very "respectful of the king", because since Jin Xianggong has produced the first faint monarch Jin Linggong, and Jin Qing Zhao Dun As Jin Linggong grows older, his control over this faint monarch is getting smaller and smaller, and several exhortations are useless, and Zhao is forced to wear out to make Chu avoid it.
As the overlord of the south, the state of Chu has made good relations with Qin and Ba, and has already established itself as the king, so it obviously has the posture of separating the king from the north and the south.
Although the suggestion of the envoy to come to Zhou was made by him.
But he knew that this trip to the south would not be easy.
As soon as he bowed his hand to the deputy envoys who had been arguing with his companions for more than an hour, Wang Sunman, who had slept enough, said, "My lords, it is late now, so take a good rest! With that, he walked out of the dilapidated inn with his two attendants.
When the ministers heard this, they immediately figured it out, arguing is not a solution, and they also cleaned up and prepared to go out to find a comfortable inn or wine shop, so that they would not spend the night in this post station!
Chu Jun didn't care, looked at these Zhou envoys with mockery, and let them leave.
I only ordered them to come back in seven days to participate in Xia Miao.
The adults above can explain, if these Zhou envoys suspect that the post station is broken, follow them into the city, and let them also see the prosperity of my Chu land.
In the private room on the second floor of the wine shop opposite the post station, Cheng Jia monitored the entire post station inside and outside through the window, and watched Wang Sunman, who had changed into regular clothes, take two attendants out of the dilapidated post station, and ordered the secret guard to follow quietly, "Go, follow him!
"Yes!"
The Ajiao people quietly followed.
Wang Sunman walked out of the dilapidated post station, then looked at the slum where the post station belonged, and ordered his attendants to spend money to take care of the Han men of Chu who had set up a stall on the street to write letters at night to lead the way, and then walked all the way down the remote alley to the bustling ten-mile long street.
Yang Sheng saw that they were from other places, so he was extremely proud and detailed to describe the prosperity of the Chu State and the customs and humanities of Yingdu.
"Prince, you see this street is the famous Jin Street of my Chu country, the main city street, ten miles long, from the Chu Palace to the outside of the city, and on both sides of the wine shops and shops, if you want to go shopping or want to eat, there are all kinds of food here. Yang Sheng said.
Wang Sunman walked and looked under the leadership of Yang Sheng, and saw that Yingdu was really prosperous, with all kinds of shops, and business travelers from all over the world, whether it was the people of the Central Plains in the north or the people of the southern barbarians Baiyue, they were all mixed in it, and there were thousands of weather in the first prosperous capital in the south.
It's really dust in the East China Sea, and time has changed!
Thinking that he Luoyi Wangcheng is compared with the Yingdu of Chu State, in addition to the accumulation of gold and silver for 900 years of Yin Shang, it is not as inclusive as Yingdu.
There are many high platforms in the state of Chu, and you can see the forest palace built on the high platform of the layers, the majestic palace room, the momentum is extraordinary, in this prosperous night scene, it is like a lighthouse, and it still seems dazzling in the world.
Wang Sunman nodded, "Yingdu is really extraordinary!"
Yang Sheng was even more proud when he heard this, pointed to the aristocratic sons and even ordinary people who could be seen everywhere along the way, and said with a smile, "My Chu country is different from your Zhou people, and I am good at martial arts and not good at writing! ”
The skinny Wang Sun Man thought.
Today, I was frightened by Na Ruo Ao Duwei, and some of the envoys were still shouting, "Barbarians", but they didn't know that the barbarians had already run in front of them, laughing at him for his powerlessness!
Although the state of Chu has been introducing the culture of the Central Plains and educating its subjects for many generations, the Chu people are naturally good at martial arts and not good at literature in their barbarian bloodline, and even the soldiers patrolling are much more than those of other countries, and when they go to the intersection of Nancheng and Beicheng streets, there are more officers and soldiers.
As soon as Wang Sunman wanted to turn onto the deserted Beicheng Street at will to take a look, he was stopped by Yang Sheng, "Prince, you can't walk on this street!"
"Why?" Wang Sunman said curiously.
"On this street lives the first noble person of my Chu country, Ruo Ao clan, do you see the heavy soldiers guarding on both sides? ”
Yang Sheng carefully pulled him back to the intersection and said, then pointed to the direction of Nancheng Street opposite, and said, "And this street is inhabited by other nobles of my Chu Kingdom, and they can't go." ”
Wang Sunman nodded when he heard this.
These two streets are believed to be the places he is going on this trip.
But since he can't go now, he can only go around this intersection and see, "Then now my servants and I are hungry, Yang Sheng, do you have a place to eat, don't need too expensive places, I just want to find a place with a lot of people." ”
If you go to a place that is too expensive, you will naturally not be able to get too much useful information.
"The most expensive place in the city is naturally the Gentleman's Pavilion in front, I haven't been there, but where there are many people, haha, the villain knows a family, often goes, and is very close. ”
Yang Sheng pulled Wang Sunman to turn around and walk more than 20 steps before entering Wanji Wonton, and greeted Lao Wan behind the counter, "Wan Lao, I'm here to bring you business." ”
Lao Wan squinted his eyes and looked at the person who came dressed in the clothes of a Zhou Dynasty nobleman, but he ran to a small shop like him to eat, so he ordered the clever Xiao Si to come forward and greet, "This official, what kind of wontons do you want to eat, our Wanji wontons are well-known far and wide, and even my princess of Chu and my concubine have come to eat." ”
Hearing this, Wang Sunman asked with interest, "How do you know that I am an official?" ”
"Hehe, there are many people from all over the world who come and go to my shop, but there are not many people like the official master. Xiao Sizui replied sweetly.
Although this is the truth, most of the people who come and go to Wanji Wonton are civilians without identity and business travelers from various countries, and the person in front of him is by no means an ordinary person wearing a brocade robe and jade pendant.
In this era, jade can only be worn by people with status.
