Fujiwara Shu is the monarch of Yeying Country, so he naturally knows very well what his own situation is.

At the beginning, Zhou Xianyu's 30,000 army was eaten, and it was because Fujiwara Xiu united many small countries, promising benefits, and the army would gather 70,000 troops.

Then, with the advantage of setting up an ambush and knowing the route of Zhou Xianyu's march, this ended in a disastrous victory, although the 30,000 troops in the Beijing military camp were almost completely wiped out.

But on the side of Yeying and the small countries, there were also as many as 50,000 casualties, so in fact, last time, in the real sense, he was able to use 30,000 against 70,000 and give the other party such a large casualty, Zhou Xianyu's battle can be said to be quite remarkable.

Therefore, as soon as Zhou Xianrui said in public about increasing the number of troops by 100,000, when he thought of this army, it was simply more than his total population in Yeying.

Immediately, he didn't dare to test Zhou Xianrui, the bottom line of the new monarch, and Fujiwara Xiu, who was becoming more and more lacking in his own confidence, couldn't help but stand up all of a sudden.

Then turning around, he raised his hand at Incheon Samoto, and the minister who deliberately spoke in Yeying, even if it was a person and two slaps, and immediately scolded:

"Bastard, this is the territory of the Great Zhou, and this monarch has long warned you not to act arbitrarily, and now your behavior is simply smearing my Yeying. Although we have had friction with the Great Zhou Kingdom, this time Benjun came with sincerity and friendliness. If it is because you really send troops and further affect the peaceful coexistence between our two countries, then you are simply guilty and deserve death. Therefore, Incheon-kun and Edo-kun, you had better ask for the forgiveness of His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor, otherwise you should immediately apologize on the spot. ”

In fact, Fujiwara Xiu's words, everyone can hear it, he just had to say it in case Zhou Xianrui really sent troops, and found a scene under the stairs for each other.

After all, now that this is a state banquet, Fujiwara Shu reprimanded the envoys of the night. No matter how inappropriate Incheon Samoto is, no one will really ask him to splash blood on the spot on such an occasion, which is too unlucky.

Moreover, Fujiwara Xiu, as the Yeying monarch, since he has already reprimanded his ministers, Zhou Xianrui is not good at calculating.

Otherwise, you may fall into the image of a big country bullying the small and not having the capacity to accommodate people, which is a mistake that Zhou Xianrui, who has just ascended the throne, must not make.

This person is often in a certain high position, especially the king of a country like Zhou Xianrui, his words and deeds often represent the position and attitude of the whole country.

Therefore, the greater the responsibility, the more unable to do what you want. Therefore, everything in this world is a gain and a loss.

Zhou Xianrui ascended the throne and became the emperor and became an existence above ten thousand people, but at the same time, he also lost a lot of things, and he couldn't do things with personal preferences and disgrace at any time, but looked at the overall situation, and even had to think about every sentence.

Therefore, even Zhou Xianrui's upright temperament is also very hateful to the Yeying people.

But in the end, for the successful conclusion of the state banquet, it showed that the Great Zhou is a state of etiquette, so the matter ended with Fujiwara Shu's statement.

And when the solemn and luxurious song and dance sounded again, it was seen that the envoys of various countries began to offer congratulatory gifts to congratulate Zhou Xianrui on his ascension to the throne and emperor.

The Great Liang State, which has been in an alliance with the Great Zhou in recent years, did not have an envoy from the crown prince like Huang Fuche this time.

However, the beam, which is rich in all kinds of beautiful jade, is still a generous gift of a three-meter-high green jade tripod.

And the most rare thing is that this tall jade tripod with hundreds of catties is made of a whole piece of naturally mined high-grade green jade, and it took a thousand jade craftsmen to work day and night for a month to be carved out.

Whether it is the huge green jade itself, or the exquisite carving of the jade tripod, it can be described as a unique and rare treasure in the world.

As for Beirong, another powerful country among the countries, even if there is constant friction with the Great Zhou, it will naturally not be petty at this time.

Therefore, located in the northern snowy region, which is rich in all kinds of cherished furs, as well as the special snow ginseng, snow lingzhi, Beirong country, also offers countless precious medicinal materials and furs as a congratulatory gift.

Although it is not as eye-catching as the jade tripod of Daliang, the snow medicinal materials have always been effective, and a snow ginseng of about ten years is worth thousands of gold, and snow lingzhi is even more difficult to find.

Therefore, the five snow ginseng plants that are more than 60 years old offered by Beirong this time have three hundred-year-old snow lingzhi, and this congratulatory gift is not insignificant.

Compared with these two powers, the congratulatory gifts of the envoys of the other countries are indeed a little inadequate.

But when it was the turn of the night to enter the country, he saw that the king of Fujiwara Osamu actually stood up himself, and then ordered two statues covered with red cloth and one meter high to be carried into the hall.

When everyone couldn't help but talk about it, speculating that Yeying, a small country that was so big and had not been on good terms with Da Zhou for a long time, would use the congratulatory gift as an excuse to cause any trouble.

I saw that Osamu Fujiwara had already walked to the middle of the main hall in person, and then lifted the red cloth on the two congratulatory gifts.

Immediately, when everyone in the hall saw what was under the red cloth, they couldn't help but let out exclamations, and they couldn't stop taking a closer look.

And now all the people in this Jinhua Palace, none of them have a low status, so they will naturally not be so out of shape when they are idle.

But the key point is that the congratulatory gift prepared by Yeying turned out to be two one-meter-tall corals, one of which is extremely precious red coral, and the other is a naturally occurring golden coral.

Even if this red coral is rare and rare, everyone in the hall has seen it, but the whole coral that is one meter tall is the first time in his life.

In addition to the most common white, corals do have many colors such as red, blue, and gold.

But compared to the already rare red coral, golden coral is a rare and rare item.

And after Fujiwara Shu took in everyone's reactions, he saw that he suddenly looked extremely vaguely at Empress Xue, who was sitting at the top of the house.

When Fujiwara Xiu's eyes flashed with a trace of bitterness mixed with a low expression, he suddenly smiled, and then looked at Zhou Xianrui and said:

"Congratulations to Emperor Qi on his first ascension to the throne, my Yeying and Da Zhou are neighbors. It is connected to Beirong in the north and the seas in the west, so only these two rare corals can still be handled. Among them, the golden one is naturally to send Emperor Qi, after all, your Great Zhou Emperor is symbolized by the golden color, and this golden coral complements you even more. As for the other red coral, it was given to the Queen Mother. After all, red coral has the meaning of auspicious health and peace, and it is a symbol of auspiciousness in my night, so please smile at the mother. ”

Although the two corals of Yeying were indeed rare and genuine, as soon as Fujiwara Shu's words were finished, he could see that the hall couldn't help but be quiet again.

After all, the envoys of various countries who came to congratulate Zhou Xianrui on his accession to the throne naturally had to understand the situation of the new emperor clearly in advance, so as not to commit any taboos.

Therefore, almost all the envoys of all countries clearly know that because Concubine Liang is Zhou Xianrui's biological mother, so today's Great Zhou has a total of Queen Mothers in the East and West Palaces.

Therefore, the envoys of various countries will either only prepare one congratulatory gift for Zhou Xianrui, or they will inevitably prepare three, and neither of the two queen mothers will be left behind.

But when he saw Fujiwara Xiu pointing to the red coral, his eyes were looking at Xue Yi, who was now the queen mother.

As for the concubine who has become the Queen Mother of the West, let alone the congratulatory gift, she didn't even look at it.

immediately looked at Zhou Xianrui's more and more bad face because of Fujiwara Xiu's move, and for a while, everyone only sighed in their hearts that this night Ying would really stir up trouble, and it really didn't make people live in peace for a moment.

However, it is not about themselves, and the envoys of all countries are naturally willing to take a look at this excitement, so they will wait and see how Zhou Xianrui will deal with this situation.

After arranging the state banquet properly, Xiao Jinxuan, who had been sitting at the table not far from Zhou Xianrui, was silent.

The envoy was aggressive, but after all, it was a matter of the previous dynasty, so no matter how unhappy she was, she didn't say anything in the end.

But now seeing Fujiwara Xiu, the monarch of Yeying, knowing that there are two queen mothers in the Great Zhou, he only prepares a congratulatory gift for the queen mother.

Looking at sitting with Empress Xue, this will be the concubine who has been promoted to Empress Dowager Chen, who is quite embarrassed but has to endure it.

Xiao Jinxuan, who has always respected Concubine Liang, saw that the current situation had involved the harem, so without any scruples, she couldn't help but stand up immediately, with a gentle expression and eyes looking at Fujiwara Xiu like ice.

"Yeying monarch, my name is Xiao Jinxuan, thanks to the emperor's trust, and now the queen's phoenix position is vacant, so I will be in charge of the harem. However, since your congratulatory gift is for my Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou, then this is also a matter within my duties. Therefore, this palace would like to remind you that I have two queen mothers in Da Zhou. The first emperor and queen Xue, now you are the queen mother of the East Palace. His Majesty's biological mother, Chen, was originally the concubine of the first emperor, and now she is the queen mother of the West. Therefore, according to the palace, the red coral of the Yeying monarch, since it means auspicious, it is good for the queen mother of the two palaces to smile together, I don't know if you think my proposal is good. ”

Now that Zhou Xianrui has ascended the throne, even if he has to guard the national mourning for three years and be filial, he will not be crowned as a queen and concubine.

But Xiao Jinxuan now has the title of side concubine after all, so it stands to reason that she really wants to call herself the palace to show the dignity of her status.

And after listening to Xiao Jinxuan's words, she was obviously looking for steps for Empress Dowager Chen and playing a round. But seeing that Fujiwara Shu shook his head without hesitation, he chuckled and said:

"This Concubine Xiao, I can't agree with your statement. After all, this meter-high red coral is extremely noble, and it is difficult to divide it into two and give it to the two queen mothers, it is simply a tyrannical thing. And I Yeying has always been alive no matter the emperor's ascension to the throne, but only the queen of the first emperor's main family will be respected as the queen mother. After all, the dignity and humility are orderly, and the concubines are just the emperor's concubines in the final analysis, even if the prince born to the concubine is fortunate enough to ascend the throne, it is difficult to be able to sit on an equal footing with the main room. Wouldn't that have to mess up the rules, but it's really ridiculous. ”
