If you hadn't heard it with your own ears, it would have been hard to imagine that you would have heard such words from the mouth of this ambassador who was ranked from the eighth rank.

Jiang Li laughed angrily: "The visit of the envoy is also a major event for the whole country, if there is an accident, even if it is the eldest princess......"

"Jiang Li."

Dongfang Yi stopped him, said "Hugh is nonsense" without pain, and then said to the ambassador: "Since the fertilizer is here in Huaiyuanyi, it seems that those flowers will not be placed too far, and you can't apply fertilizer once, so you have to push the dung truck and walk half the city." Say, what about the flowers? ”

“…… In Qingheyi. ”

Hearing this place, Dongfang Yi was really a little angry: "The mansion used by the imperial court to entertain envoys has been used by you as a flower cellar!" Although the envoys of the Northland did not come very frequently, they were also ...... That's it, and I'll settle accounts with you later! He turned his mind around, and finally said to Jiang Li, "After you are done, you can go to the princess's mansion, hand over the post in my name, and explain this matter," his eyes sank, and he looked at Ambassador Huaiyuanyi and said, "You can move now." ”

"Yes, you can, the Oriental adults sympathize with the lower officials, and the lower officials are grateful." The ambassador tried his best to salute and confess his sins and strive for a good attitude.

"Your Excellency, Your Majesty......"

There was a continuous call behind him, Dongfang Yi was ominous, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?" Could it be the Hou Ye......"

"Yes, yes, there was an argument again, the prime minister was so angry that he didn't even want to go on a tour, and said that he wanted to go back to rest," the deputy envoy who came to report the news was the deputy envoy stationed in Huaiyuan Station, who obviously also knew the details of the guest rooms in the backyard, and his anxious face turned white, "Lord Zhang can't stop it, you ...... it"

"As far as I know," Dongfang Yi remembered what the prime minister had said, and immediately had a plan, "Every year, in order to take care of the treasures that will be exhibited at the chrysanthemum appreciation party, Taichang Temple has a special garden, and there is even a warm cellar and a cold cellar in it, where some spring and summer flowers and late flowering flowers are stored. Jiang Li, you should go back to Taichang Temple immediately, explain the situation to Lord Yun, and prepare to welcome the envoys to visit inside. ”

"Is that okay?" Jiang Li didn't take the order immediately, and raised an objection worriedly, "That's a chrysanthemum appreciation party, and it will be opened to the emperor to see the ......flowers."

"No, calculate the time, the tribute chrysanthemums will not all open now, otherwise they will wither away in September? Let the envoy go, mainly to let him see...... The flowers in the cold cellar, I want to know, that Myanmar is in the southwest of Yunnan, there must be no shortage of spring and summer flowers, let him look at the plum blossoms, take a look at the freshness. It's all sudden, that's all it takes, go ahead. After explaining clearly, Dongfang Yi turned around and went back to the banquet hall, ready to stop the loss.

Jiang Li has been with him for a long time, and since he has understood the meaning of the eldest prince, of course he knows that the most important thing in this matter is the word "fast", and immediately said to the ambassador: "This lord, there are still a few available manpower in the guild hall, borrow the boy for use!" ”

The ambassador immediately asked the deputy envoy to find someone, but although there were seven or eight people in this hall, half of them had to be left to carry fertilizer, and the other half of the people, with the ambassador's warrant and the utensils Jiang Li said, hurried out, and didn't care about offending, got into Dongfang Yi's carriage and ran wildly, and after passing through a certain place, he swept away a piece of mob dust.

If you can see me, then I can see you too.

In a hurry, Su Musha recognized Jiang Li, and Jiang Li naturally recognized Su Mushao, but thinking of the people and those tools in the carriage behind him, and then thinking of the instructions of the eldest young master, how could he still have the leisure to slow down and stop, and say hello to Miss Su.

Jiang Li was the most obedient, so he ran over in a hurry, he felt a little uncomfortable, and after a while, he comforted himself: Anyway, the young master ordered, I have to go back and ask Miss Su about the chrysanthemum appreciation party, and I will confess at that time.

Back in the banquet hall, a familiar voice floated out:

"Bragging is not like this, it is still like a formation, the world is invincible, it is really invincible, the army of our Great Qian Dynasty has arrived at your doorstep, why don't you put up an elephant array to greet you? It's really invincible, Dian Zhou has been facing Myanmar for a long time. ”

Dongfang Yi felt a big headache, and he didn't know what kind of hatred and hatred the Marquis of Taiping had with the small country here, so being aggressive in his words would make it seem that the stomach of the **** kingdom was too narrow, and it would be useless to lose face.

Thinking about it, he returned to the hall and greeted with a smile: "What are you talking about so lively," turning to the prime minister, "I am very interested in the customs and customs of your country, as if I heard what you said about the 'elephant array', can you elaborate on it?" ”

The prime minister turned his head, with a complex and rich expression on his face, as if he had finally found someone to sue after being bullied by others, and complained bitterly: "The marquis of your country has been disrespectful to the country again and again, which shows that the country has no intention of reconciling with the country. Although the country is a small country and a widow, it is not a country that is bullied and does not dare to fight back. ”

Seeing that after three or two sentences, this matter has risen to the level of diplomatic relations, Dongfang Yi frowned, and then smiled: "What did the prime minister say?" For the first time, your country sent a messenger, and we went up to the Holy and down to the people, and we all looked forward to it...... Is there some misunderstanding here? ”

"What misunderstanding? Our supreme elephant god dares to insult at will, which is really too deceitful. The prime minister snorted.

"Legend has it that one of the five emperors Shun is the first in history to tame wild elephants to plough the fields, after his death, there was an elephant in front of his mausoleum to dig the soil, the color of the bird to the mud of the Rui Zhao, this is called 'Taiping has an elephant'," Dongfang Yi said without hurry, not humble or arrogant, "Since then, elephants are often used to imply the peace of the world and the abundance of grains." Therefore, for us, images often have a special meaning, how can they be disrespectful, and how can they be humiliating? ”

Even if An Lu is used to seeing Dongfang Yi and is angry, but after listening to these words, he has to admit that he said it decently, on the one hand, he makes a stand, he does love elephants, and he will not have any contempt and insults, but on the other hand, your so-called "elephant god" is used to plow the fields and plow the land when he comes to our land, and it is not much different from a cow.

Cattle are also deeply loved by working people, and they symbolize diligence and steadfastness, which is also a good thing!

I don't know if it's because of Dongfang Yi's special relationship, or because of Dongfang Yun's face, the prime minister's face is a little pale, Dongfang Yi saw this, and then said: "After all, there are differences in language and culture, and there are misunderstandings for a while," he clicked to stop, and then said, "By the way, I heard the prime minister mention during the banquet just now, you like flowers and plants, and you love flowers the most, aren't you?" ”

"Yes, we face the Burmese flowers everywhere, they are very beautiful, and I myself love to play with flowers and plants the most." The prime minister said with great interest.

"The flowers and plants are good," Zhang Cong was pleased that Anhou and the prime minister's disappearance was once again quelled by Dongfang Yi, and it would not cause any trouble, and when he heard this topic, he echoed on the side, "In the poems, flowers and plants are often praised, like the lotus flower out of the mud without staining, the beauty of orchids and the fragrance of chrysanthemums, all of which are the noble virtues pursued by scholars all over the world." ”

Dongfang Yi sneered in his heart: This prime minister is not good at searching in Chinese, can he understand those texts.
