Chapter 488: Verbal War
As soon as she heard that the monarch of Yeying Kingdom had come to congratulate her in person and participated in Zhou Xianrui's enthronement ceremony, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but be surprised in her heart, and immediately looked over to Fujiwara Xiu.
After all, when Zhou Xianyu led the army to the expedition last year, this night, together with many small countries, because Bai Hang provided a route map for the march, they set up an ambush in advance to kill 30,000 soldiers in the Beijing military camp.
Therefore, Yeying's old hatred of harassing the border of the Great Zhou has not been eliminated, and now a new hatred has been added.
In this case, Xiao Jinxuan really couldn't understand why Fujiwara Shu, who was the lord of a country, came to Da Zhou in person.
Although it is extremely unreasonable to think that the other party is doing this, and it will put itself in danger.
But Xiao Jinxuan knows more clearly that behind all abnormal things, there must be a meaning of its existence.
Therefore, she couldn't help but feel that there must be some important reason behind this Fujiwara Xiu's visit to Da Zhou, and immediately she couldn't help but be more cautious and cautious in her heart.
However, how to beware of Fujiwara Xiu, the monarch of the Ying Kingdom this night, but in terms of etiquette specifications, since Xiao Jinxuan is in charge of the state banquet, she will definitely not make any mistakes in this regard, making these envoys laugh at Da Zhou.
Therefore, after she asked someone to immediately replace Fujiwara with a higher-standard table, chair and a variety of objects, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but take this opportunity to look at the other party vaguely.
And I can see that this Fujiwara Shu is a forty-five or sixteen-year-old man, with a majestic physique and a very handsome face, although he is not too tall, and he is also old, but he can still see that when the other party is young, he must also be a dignified person.
Although Yeying is a small country, this Fujiwara Shu is the king of a country after all, so there is a kind of restrained and precipitated temperament in his temperament.
And just when Xiao Jinxuan was secretly paying attention to the other party, she saw that all the things in the Yeying envoy group were replaced with the prince-level treatment of the Great Zhou.
Seeing all this, following Fujiwara Xiu, it was obvious that he was a person who was famous for Yeying Wenchen.
I couldn't help but look sink, and immediately stood up and said a long list of things that others couldn't understand in the language of their country.
In fact, the hundred schools of thought in these countries naturally have their own languages, but the most powerful Liang, Da Zhou and Beirong.
However, the languages of these three countries have been running in for a long time, and the languages of trade have slowly merged together.
Therefore, under the leadership of these three great powers, although other small countries will also retain their native dialects, they will inevitably use a unified language to communicate when they go to other countries, especially the three great powers.
And this Yeying Wenchen not only looked unhappy, but also opened his mouth to speak in Yeying language that everyone present could not understand, which was not only extremely rude, but also a way to despise Da Zhou.
Therefore, as soon as Yingwenchen's words were finished this night, the atmosphere in the Shicai Hall was still harmonious, and it became silent in an instant.
And in this case, even if Wenchen has been talking to Zhou Xianrui non-stop, but Zhou Xianrui, who has ascended the throne and become emperor, in this case, as the king of a country, he categorically cannot speak in person.
Therefore, among the hundreds of civil and military officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty who also understood this truth, they immediately saw that they had made a lot of contributions to the counterinsurgency, and Guo Yi, who had now been promoted to the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up.
I saw Guo Yi, who had been pretending to join the Xue clan a few months ago and passed on important information about the other party to Xiao Jinxuan several times.
Now Guo Yi, who finally doesn't have to risk his life to continue to lurk, still does not change his unkempt, free and casual style.
Therefore, Guo Yi, who stood up, first drank all the wine in the cup, then pointed at Yingwenchen that night, and then said with a smile on his face:
"It's really funny that I said that your Yeying envoys are really funny, since even the monarch has sent us to the Great Zhou, can't even find a minister who can speak the lingua franca of all countries and bring it out. After all, a small country is a small country, and even if it occasionally fights as ruthlessly as the robbers, it does not understand the rules and regulations of etiquette. I said that the lord said a word, if you can understand my Guo Yi's words, sit down quickly, and continue to stand down, and embarrass your monarch. Even if you are a seven-grade petty official in my big week, I really didn't expect that an official who doesn't even know the lingua franca like you can mix well in Yeying, you Yeying is really talented. ”
As soon as he heard Guo Yi's sarcastic words, he saw the Yeying civil official who stood up, and his face was as red as a pig's liver.
In fact, this time Fujiwara Osamu personally sent the Great Zhou, and the officials who should have followed him naturally could not have people who did not understand the common language.
And the official of Shicai was actually deliberately using Yeying Chinese, so that Zhou Xianrui could not understand his words and could not answer at that time, so as to lose the face of the new emperor.
After all, on the battlefield of the territory, the fight between countries is the strength and the generals, but above the court, it is a battlefield where the words of the civil servants are clashed.
And it is obvious that this night Ying Wenchen, who has a well-known mouth in the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was suppressed even if he was beaten by Lian Xiao.
For a while, I could see that the faces of the Yeying envoys were not very good-looking, but on the other hand, the civil and military officials on the side of Da Zhou were happy and cheerful.
As for Yeying's side, naturally he would not sit still, and immediately a person who looked like a military general stood up and said angrily:
"The meaning of the right person Edo-sama, I, Incheon Saben, can translate it on my behalf, Edo-kun means that I want to ask His Majesty the respected Emperor Kai, why do I have to be treated as a prince when my lord is the same as you. In this way, don't you Da Zhou treat your guests slowly, without the style of a big country, we think you are insulting us Yeying. ”
And this time, before others could speak, the last time the army led the army to march, when the 30,000 army was ambushed.
He saw this Incheon Samoto, and when he remembered that so many of his soldiers had died at the hands of the Yeying people, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and then said in an evil and lazy voice:
"I said, General Samoto, this king sees that you have stayed in the night for too long and rarely come out, so he has always taken out your things the size of a projectile and compared them with my Great Zhou. After all, as far as I, Zhou Xianyu, is concerned, my back cover is even much bigger than your Yeying Kingdom. Therefore, you are the lord of the country, and we can only be regarded as a prince here, and it is already good that you are not entertained according to the specifications of ordinary county kings, and I want to compare with my imperial brother, and it is not too late to talk about it when your territory expands to a larger size than the back cover of this king. ”
Now that Zhou Xianrui has ascended the throne as emperor, all the meritorious ministers have been rewarded, and this is indispensable for the royal children of Zhou Xianyu.
Therefore, today's Zhou Xianyu has been promoted from the position of the prince to the prince.
Therefore, Zhou Xianyu said that his fiefdom was bigger than Yeying Guo, which was not intended to anger the other party, but it was true.
After all, he has been favored by Emperor Ming since he was a child, and his fief originally occupied three cities, which was twice as large as Zhou Xiantai, who was a prince at that time.
Now that he has been named the royal prince, Zhou Xianrui has always loved this younger brother, so he assigned the two cities on the border to Zhou Xianyu.
Therefore, Zhou Xianyu, who has a fiefdom spanning five cities, is compared to Yeying, which is only equivalent to a small border country of about four cities, and wanting to be on an equal footing with Zhou Xianrui with this kind of strength is indeed equivalent to an idiot's dream.
And the person who could speak at first sight was changed from Guo Yi to Zhou Xianyu this time, in the ambush battle, even if Yeying had made preparations early, the bravery and courage of the Beijing military camp and the fear of death still left a deep impression on Incheon Samoto.
Especially when Zhou Xianyu led his troops to break through, it was this Incheon Samoto who was responsible for intercepting, and at that time, even though they had an absolute advantage in numbers, he was still picked off his horse by the opponent's shot, and he almost didn't die on the spot.
So when the enemy saw each other, this Incheon Samoto couldn't help but immediately hit back and said:
"Who should I be making noise here, it turned out to be the prince who fled with the remnants of the army at the beginning, and was defeated by me at night. Su Q you are known as the king of war, but the rumors of the last battle still can't be believed. Now that you have such leisure and leisure to talk here, it seems that all the injuries on your body have healed. But even if you're in the prime of life now, I'm afraid that when you encounter our Yeying army, you still have only the ability to escape. ”
This military general has always been different from Wenchen, how Wenchen fights openly and secretly, and fights with his lips and teeth, he will control the situation at the edge of not touching each other's bottom line.
But as soon as Incheon Samoto's words were finished, the meaning changed and it directly rose to the dignity and strength of the two countries.
Therefore, seeing Zhou Xianrui, who had not spoken, he couldn't help but look at Fujiwara Xiu, the monarch of the Yeying Kingdom, with a calm smile, and then said in a strong voice:
"It seems that the lord of Fujiwara, the general of your country, is extremely confident in your Yeying troops. If this is the case, last time my seventh brother Xianyu passed through the border with your country, why didn't you dare to face it head-on, but you bought Bai Hang, who was a traitor to the enemy in my Great Zhou, and set up an ambush according to the route of Xianyu's march first. Although you are not tired of deceit, it is not wrong for you to choose such a dishonorable method. However, General Incheon said with relish in front of the envoys of various countries. This will inevitably make me and everyone present feel that you Yeying seems to be very fond of making trouble behind your back, and it seems that no one will dare to regard you as a friendly neighbor in the future. And I have also decided to increase my army of 100,000 to the border with you Yeying, and since General Inchon is full of confidence, I will wait to see how you can slaughter all my 100,000 troops. ”
Zhou Xianrui is now the monarch of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and his words and deeds are holy decrees, so since he said that he wanted to increase his troops by 100,000, and he said this in public, then this matter is basically settled.
And Fujiwara Shu, the monarch of the Yeying Kingdom, who had been sitting on one side, no matter how excessively his courtiers spoke, he had no intention of obstructing him, and he obviously had a deliberate gesture of connivance.
After all, during the reign of Emperor Ming, the political tendency of this king was extremely benevolent, whether it was to treat the subjects of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or to the outside world, he was as peaceful as possible, and rarely took the initiative to send troops to conquer neighboring countries.
Therefore, Fujiwara Shu, who also intended to test the style of next Zhou Xianrui's behavior, did not stop his courtiers from acting more and more excessively.
But seeing that what Zhou Xianrui said after opening his mouth was extremely strong, and there was no doubt that he wanted to increase his troops by 100,000, it was obvious that Ye Ying was daring to act rashly, and he would never tolerate it, Fujiwara Xiu's brows couldn't help but wrinkle for the first time.
And until this meeting, Fujiwara Xiu can also see that Zhou Xianrui, the new emperor of the Great Zhou, is obviously a character who does not rub sand in his strong eyes.
Thinking that after the Yeying border would be tightly controlled by the army of 100,000 tigers and wolves in the Great Zhou Dynasty day and night, Fujiwara Shu couldn't help but feel that this was as uncomfortable as a fish bone stuck in his throat.
