Chapter 588: Preparing for the Banquet

In order to get more support, it is necessary to lie. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info kings of the past dynasties were not the ruling class as the Son of Heaven, and in ancient times, beliefs existed for the ruling class.

After whetting the appetite of all the ministers, Cheng Qianxun began to make up nonsense: "The voice of the gods is unusually loud, like thunder, and the majesty is abnormal. He said that of the four suitors ... ”

"How?" The old minister's dizzy old eyes lit up suddenly: "Is it that the gods have hints, as long as the gods say whichever one, it will be difficult for the other kings to object." ”

Another minister was anxious to listen and interrupted the old minister's words: "Even if it is said that it is the will of the gods, the gods of heaven still fight with each other. ”

The gods here do fight with each other and fight with each other. More than 5,000 years ago, whether it was the Sumerians or the Egyptians, their gods were like people, with tempers, personalities, and pairs.

"I can't say that!" Cheng Qianxun shook his head, the more he chattered, the more people believed it, and if she didn't say it, she could continue to make it up as she wanted in the future, and it was up to her to say anything.

She continued: "The gods say that after a hundred days of my accession to the throne, any problem will be solved. Because the three kings have already ascended the throne and become kings, then they are protected by other gods, and he does not want the heavenly realm to anger other gods because of their mistakes. So their safety must be guaranteed! As long as the king is well, and survives the first hundred days of my reign, then Ekash will stand tall for generations to come. ”

For thousands of generations, she doesn't know if she will be alive tomorrow. But these ministers were evidently quite superstitious, and one by one they immediately ran to the door, knelt down, spread their hands to the sky, and raised them to the sky as if they were begging; And the kneeling man pouted his ass and fell to the ground, and his mouth was full of words of praise and thanksgiving to the gods.

Let them kneel and thank them, Cheng Qianxun only ate by himself, and looked at the pious ministers with the attitude of watching a monkey show.

The next two days were naturally waiting for the feast to begin. Cheng Qianxun stood in the center of the bedroom, letting the tailor measure his figure, on one side was Ragasi, who seemed to be a confidant, and on the other side was Regel, who came to get close and have a good relationship.

Lagassi knelt beside him and reminded: "Queen, I just made a set of clothes, and another one, for fear that someone will say extravagant." ”

"Let me tell them for them, the national disaster is at the head, but they only know how to make new clothes. Three days after taking the throne, he had to hold a banquet and make new clothes. Even if I'm for the country! Cheng Qianxun turned to smile: "These useless people are like sheep in times of crisis, but afterwards they always feel that they can do better than the people who solve the problem!" Let them go, as long as they don't make trouble, let them go. But dare to shake the fundamentals ... ”

Her face changed, and she said fiercely: "Just tell them that if the queen is not capable of waiting, there will be war." Then they will go to war with their weapons, and their wives and daughters will wait to give them as gifts. ”

Lagassi smiled with a bit of compliment: "Every time the queen speaks, I am amazed and benefited a lot." ”

After investigating, Lagassi studied in school and had good grades. The family is just an ordinary merchant who doesn't make much money, but he can still afford to let him go to school, but he can only have the ability to become a guard, and he can't become a minister official. Fortunately, his family can afford this amount of money, so that he will not be like others, unable to afford to study, and can only earn money by working.

"Don't say nice things." After the size was measured, Cheng Qianxun stepped aside and began to choose jewelry: "Your ability is not small, just to go out to each army to spread the word, you must have enough courage." Tell me, how did you get the four of them to walk to the gate and wait for me? Won't it be that I'm going out to fight them one by one? ”

Legel was also curious: "I also want to know, how did you do it?" ”

Three kings and one prince, the four of them have different personalities and are secretly hostile to each other, and it is indeed very difficult for all four of them to walk to the gate of the city alone and wait for the besieged king to come out. It should be Cheng Qianxun or send someone to take the gifts, visit them one by one, and wag his tail and beg for mercy.

"Say it, it's okay to say it." Cheng Qianxun said with a smile.

So Lagassi told what had happened, and of the four, he felt that Gordon was the best to speak, so he ran over first.

"The king of your came and asked what was the matter." Knowing that the queen could not remember the names of so many people, she used the abbreviation, as was customary: "I said to him, Ask him to wait at the gate, and the queen will go out to meet him." He asked, what did he do? ”

Ragassi also felt amused at this time: "I said, in order to stab him to death with a sword and smash his brain with an axe, do you have the guts to stand at the door and wait?" As a result, he immediately burst out laughing, and said cheerfully that he would definitely go. ”

Cheng Qianxun also smiled, this is the method of agitation, look at the appearance of her small arms and legs, not to mention smashing Gordon's head with an axe, let's find a way to choose a smaller and lighter weapon first.

Then Lagassi went to Prince Erika, bowed, and exclaimed, "The best in the world, the coexistence of beauty and wisdom, the unsurpassed in the plains, and so on, and so on, and so on,

It made Prince Erica's heart itch, and when he heard that the king of your had promised to go, he agreed.

Regel was already smiling at this time, this smile was not pretended, it was completely real: "This guy is really greedy and afraid of death." But King Urs was a man of his word, and he had the courage to go when other kings went. ”

Then Lagassi was much easier, and the other kings went, and you didn't go? Don't go, don't tell others that the king of this country is a flashy coward.

So the four kings and princes all stood in front of the city gate and waited, and Cheng Qianxun of course did not go out to fight, but performed an extremely vivid and fragrant show.

The three of them laughed, and the other maids laughed.

After laughing, and continuing to think about the things that should be thought, Cheng Qianxun walked to the mat and sat down. Their sitting posture certainly does not resemble that in Arab countries and Japan or before the ancient Tang Dynasty, women knelt and men and women of high status sometimes sat cross-legged. Both men and women here wear skirt-like clothes, so they sit sideways with their knees bent and legs as low as possible.

Picking up a pomegranate, she peeled it slowly and stuffed it into her mouth one by one.

Ragassi didn't speak, he knew what the queen was thinking. And Regel couldn't help it, and asked softly: "Does the queen have a favorite candidate?" ”

Cheng Qianxun came back to his senses, spit out the pomegranate seeds that had been drained of water, and said helplessly: "It's not something I like or not, for the sake of the throne, how many people have married or married the person they like?" ”

"It's a banquet in two days, doesn't the queen plan to announce the candidate in public?" Regel asked tentatively, "Let's say one of the three kings." ”

Regel's younger brother, Prince Erica, is quite so-so, and now has the most mercenaries. If a marriage can be formed, then his throne will be unshakable, and it can be said that he will gain fame and fortune. Then the danger of Ekash, for the sake of the future, he will not care. If you go back and send 10,000 horses, then the other three countries will have to give way.

But this is not to play the Warring States Policy, but to help your teammates survive this period together. Cheng Qianxun smiled and shook his head: "How can it be announced so quickly?" Although I knew that all of their soldiers were on their way to stop the envoys sent by other countries who might get the news, so it was possible that there would always be only four of them, but I couldn't easily agree. It's so easy to agree, how can you find a chance for your people to go back and transfer people to help you clear your name and ascend to the throne? ”

When Regel heard this, he immediately swore gratefully: "The god Annu is above, if I can clear my name and ascend to the throne, a temple will be built in the city of Erica from now on to worship the god." And Ekash, whether I have time to propose marriage or not, will be my best ally, and each other's children and grandchildren will never invade and never go to war! ”

In fact, Cheng Qianxun didn't want such a promise, there was no need for children and grandchildren, there were only ninety-six and a half days left.

At this point the tailor began to ask what the new clothes would look like, and the queen had a different eye, and the clothes were strange and had never been done before. It is not like any of the peoples of the plains, nor like Egypt, and it can only be called the garments of God.

"Chest-length, see no, the fabric is stuck in the creaky nest, you have to leave enough fabric, otherwise the chest will be too tight." Cheng Qianxun held a piece of linen and demonstrated. And the more the tailor listened, the more he stared, what kind of clothes is this?

Because people also fought for him to some extent, gave him a place to hide, provided food and drink, and assisted him to ascend to the throne. As long as you hold her, there is hope for everything. So Regel also came up with an idea: "The clothes with slits on both sides last time were very good, but if you wear more, you will feel too exposed." Look at the queen to wear a tight one this time, then don't slit it, and the chest, the chest is exposed a little too much... ”

This made the tailor just breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise the queen would dare not wear this dress, and he would not dare to do it. What the hell is this clothes?

"Do you want to be conservative?" Cheng Qianxun nodded after thinking about it, and said to the tailor: "Cut the middle of the clothes, divide them into two layers, and expose your belly." ”

Cut in the middle, two layers above and below? What's that? The tailor was even more dizzy when he heard this.

At this time, someone came in at the door to report that Prince Erica had sent someone to deliver a gift.

Cheng Qianxun asked Regel to avoid it for the time being and received the comer. No sooner had one been sent away, and another king's messenger came. After a round of reception, I finally sent them all out.

When Regel came back, he picked up a gold armband inlaid with turquoise and rubies, and said with a smile: "That guy actually sent Egyptian jewelry." I heard that even if he waited at the door for a month, he asked a woman to accompany him. This jewelry was probably given to a woman who insisted on coming back, right? ”

This is undoubtedly suspected of saying bad things behind the scenes, but it should also be said correctly. Prince Erica, as rumored, had to have women and mutton every day, and had hanged seven of his errant men in a month. In front of the gallows, a mat was laid out, on which he sat and hugged the woman left and right, watching the body of the hanged man convulsed before he died, and asked the woman to pass mutton to his mouth.
