Chapter 589 Presiding over government affairs
Looking at the things sent by the other envoys, although they are not as luxurious as those sent by Prince Elika, in this case, it is naturally good to be able to take out one or two things, after all, a day ago, they surrounded the former king with their soldiers, hacked the former king to death, and when they were full, they called people to run to the gate of the city and asked the new king to come out to meet him. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Sneijder's messenger brought a scarf, Rudolph brought cloth, and Gordon brought a knife.
Cheng Qianxun picked up the knife, looked at it, and smiled bitterly. Apparently Gordon had sent a gift without asking for the advice of the others, even if the knife was a knife for cutting beef and mutton during a meal in his eyes.
Looking at the fabric and the scarf, she turned to the tailor and said, "I made this piece of fabric just right, didn't it say it was too revealing... ”
Pulled the white scarf over his shoulders, and looked at Regel and Ragassi beside him gesturely: "That's it." ”
Even Lagassi, who was not used to seeing too revealing clothes, nodded his head, indicating that this was good. But he asked worriedly, "Is it good that the queen will use all the things she has sent?" ”
What gift to send, the other party will definitely know. Does it make you uncomfortable to wear other people's gifts on your body?
"That's how it shows that I don't treat everyone equally." Cheng Qianxun thought about it and smiled suddenly. She took the knife and told the tailor, "Add something to my belt, you can hang it." It's better to be eye-catching! ”
At this time, the old minister asked for an audience, so Cheng Qianxun walked to the mat and sat down: "Let him come in, by the way, I should say, 'Please'." ”
The maid stepped back and asked, and Regel stood up: "Please allow me to avoid it first." ”
"No!" Cheng Qianxun stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit down: "No matter whether there is anyone here, he will always find a lot of dissatisfaction." If you're here, at least he won't suspect that there is something wrong with me and Ragassi. ”
Lagassi hurriedly bowed his head and said humbly: "Don't dare." ”
Cheng Qianxun smiled at the corner of his mouth: "I don't dare." ”
Ragassi and Regel immediately understood what they meant, and sat there silently.
After the old minister came in, he knelt down and saluted, and Cheng Qianxun invited him to take a seat next to him. After sitting down, he cleared his throat and began to speak.
As soon as he entered, his eyes swirled around Ragassi and Regel like rats just out of a hole. I thought he would say something from this, but I didn't expect it to be something else.
"The queen has been on the throne for five days and should be in charge of government affairs." The old minister shook his gray curly beard, and at the same time his sheep's voice trembled: "You can't sit in the palace every day." ”
Wherefore do not sit in the king's palace, do not kings preside over the government affairs in the king's palace? And when she was idle in the palace, she used her brain every day to think of a way, and yesterday she risked her life to go out of the city, which is tantamount to betraying herself and using her relatives to solve the crisis. I was so tired that I slept until near noon, and at the end of lunch, I had to measure my body and start to cope with the banquet two days later.
Ragassi hurriedly explained: "Yes, but the queen is not not presiding, but has just received four messengers who have given gifts, and now all state affairs are important, and other matters are suspended." ”
The old minister nodded: "Well, I don't think the queen meant it either. Thinking that it is true that the visiting envoys should be received first, and it will become busier and busier in the future, do you want the old man to do the work for the queen and preside over it temporarily? ”
No matter what you preside over or what you do, it is always wrong to hand over power to a minister. Cheng Qianxun hurriedly said: "The envoy is not with him every day, I will preside over it in a while." ”
Hearing this, the old minister breathed a sigh of relief, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he was hiding regret. He started another topic: "The queen has contributed to the lifting of the siege this time, which is enough to show that the goddess is really a goddess given by the gods." The high priest felt that the queen was enough to make the people worship as a goddess, and he didn't know whether the queen was Antu or Ningar. ”
What are these two goddesses? I really don't know what their characteristics are, if this is ancient Egypt, at least know Isis, the wife of Hades, and the Sumerian civilization in the plains of Mesopotamia, and it is still ancient... Oh, forget it, the devil knows.
But she had to find a reason to fool around, and she thought for a while and said, "If you are a goddess, do you want to build a temple?" ”
"Yes!" The old minister nodded and said very seriously: "When the goddess descends to earth, she naturally wants to build a temple to worship." ”
"Then I won't talk about it." Cheng Qianxun stood up, so that the sitting old minister could look up and have a sense of tallness and sacredness. "Ekasha has just been relieved of the crisis, and the people have been worried and suffering heavy losses for a month. How can I get the people to build temples again? One Ekash, one temple was enough, and if the high priest objected, tell him that if another temple was built, there would be a high priest who would worship his god Anu, and that the goddess needed a priestess. ”
The old minister was suddenly moved to tears, and bowed on the ground: "If it is really a goddess who descends to earth, only a goddess can have such a mind and courage, and Ekash is blessed." ”
Cheng Qianxun stood upright, contemptuous sideways, proud of everything... I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and finally fooled it over.
The next step was to preside over the government, but fortunately there were Lagassi and Regel, and they explained what they had to do as a king, otherwise how could they not know how to be a human king if they descended to earth as a goddess?
Cheng Qianxun put on normal clothes, put on a golden crown on his head that was more ugly than a tight spell, and sat in the center of the open space in front of the temple and the palace. If anyone has any grievances, whether from home or abroad, they can come to the front and let her judge and pronounce the sentence.
What makes her smile bitterly is that even if a family is missing a piece of pork and suspects that it was stolen by a neighbor, they will come to complain. Is this the Queen's good life? Fight against the field, keep your status, do you still have to solve petty theft or something? It is no wonder that King Solomon of Israel solved a case in which two women fought over the human trafficking of their children. There are also people who come all the way to ask questions about how to change the wretch in the family and find love.
You can't ignore the questions raised by these fools, if there is no satisfactory answer, she, the Ming Jun, is smashed. Too many people are not satisfied, just wait to button the stupid hat.
The sun in the arid desert area is scorching, and even though the top of the head is covered with a curtain made of reed grass, and there is a maid next to him who keeps fanning the wind with a big fan made of unknown something, it still feels hot.
Cheng Qianxun was so hot that he was dizzy, but he still had to sit on the mat with his spirits. What kind of sad queen is this, you can't make a little more comfortable to be a queen, what Egyptian, British, Tsarist Russia, Wu Zetian is not bad, and there are many queens in Dongying at the worst. Going to Africa, the birthplace of mankind, to be a tribal queen should be better than this!
As it was said, a group of people came over, and it seemed that they were arguing, and they were arguing with each other while walking here. After four or five people knelt down and bowed, they began to tell the situation.
It turned out that these two families were in-laws, and they were set before the siege of Ekash, but now that the siege has been lifted, one family gives a dowry according to the number, but the other family does not accept it.
"He said that he would give ten sheep, two oxen, and four fat pigs in seven days. How many days are you left until the scheduled time? Of course, marriage doesn't count! The woman's father said angrily.
"It's not that the city is besieged, there are not enough of them, as soon as the city gate is opened, I will send it." The man's father was also very aggrieved.
"What is not enough, I secretly inquired, it is not bad at all, you gave some cattle and sheep to your wife's family and secretly hid them." The woman's father scolded the man for being insincere.
"Settle down with the gods above, how can I not be sincere? It's not that you sent two sheep to your house, otherwise your daughter wouldn't have to get married, and she would have starved to death. The man's father screamed that he was wronged. Then the two families asked the queen to call the shots and see how the queen pronounced the verdict.
Cheng Qianxun imitated the possession of the gods, his eyes narrowed slightly, and let them quarrel enough. She is so tired, hot and uncomfortable, otherwise she solves one, what if there is a steady stream of followers? It is said that you must sit for a while before you can be considered diligent. You must know that this is the case for presiding over government affairs, it is better to let the old minister sit here and suffer, and there is no need to worry that he will take the opportunity to be in power, because maybe in less than three days, the old minister who is old and frail will already be tossed to death.
Ragassi reminded softly, "Queen, please pronounce the sentence." ”
Cheng Qianxun slowly opened his eyes and asked the kneeling people below: "How do you want to judge?" "They have so much energy, and they are still debating after kneeling for so long. Kneeling directly on the dirt with small stones against the sun, it was long overdue to go back and discuss the solution for yourself.
The woman's father advocated to withdraw from the marriage, and the marriage was over, and the two sheep sent were regarded as loss expenses.
The man's father is resolutely opposed, and it is okay to withdraw from the marriage, and only by returning double the dowry according to the rules.
Cheng Qianxun angrily persuaded: "You don't think about it anymore? After all, your in-laws still sent two sheep, and they didn't let your family starve to death. There is also you, after all, you didn't send all the dowry gifts on time, and you don't need to double the loss fee, just pay back the two sheep. ”
Both of them said that they didn't think about it, and that they had to solve it according to their ideas.
Cheng Qianxun looked at the woman's father: "Did you find a better one outside, so you quit the marriage?" ”
He didn't make a sound, and the man's father immediately called out, and indeed found a good one outside.
"No, not found!" The woman's father quickly denied it, blushing and red, obviously lying.
"Is there more dowry from the other party?" Cheng Qianxun asked.
Sure enough, the other side was willing to give up five more sheep.
Cheng Qianxun thought about it and asked the woman's father: "If your original in-laws make up the dowry, or if I give all the dowry, including five more sheep, are you willing to let your daughter marry the person I designate?" ”
The woman's father thought that the queen's introduction must be good, so he said: "Of course it is better for the queen to be in charge, if the queen is willing to give fifteen sheep, two cows, and four big fat pigs, I am willing to let my daughter marry the person appointed by the queen." ”
It's ridiculous to think about this kind of marriage, it all depends on who has the highest bid to marry. Cheng Qianxun really still has to thank the heavenly realm, at least she didn't make her one of the women here waiting for others to exchange her livestock. (To be continued.) )
