Chapter 151: Is the Princess's going to Get Married?
I sat in the position assigned to me by the emperor, which was the penultimate position. The bigger the official position, the closer the seat is to the emperor. This is a well-known thing in the imperial court. Otherwise, look at why several princes sit in the position closest to the emperor. Next is the prime minister, the general, Sili, and the seal......
But I'm not curious about this, and I'm curious that there are people who are even lower than me, which is really strange.
I looked at the guy from the bottom, he was a forty or fifty-year-old official, he looked a little familiar, I seemed to have seen this guy somewhere.
"Oh, I don't know what this adult is called?" Strangely, this familiar feeling is getting worse and worse.
"Me, my name is Zhang Qian." This man seemed reluctant to talk to me because he looked at me with an unfriendly expression.
Zhang Qian? The name...... Could it be said?
I'll go, this is simply another famous figure in history, a figure who has created an immortal legend, and left a strong character in the picture scroll of history.
Zhang Qian, who doesn't know this guy, he is the first person to envoy to the Western Regions.
"It turns out that you are Lord Zhang Qian, no wonder you look so familiar. I wonder why you don't want to talk to me? "Seeing this person, I finally know why this guy is so familiar, it turns out that he looks very similar to Su Wu.
"Hmph, Su Wu and I are like brothers. However, because of your recommendation, he had to send an envoy to the Huns. You say, what do I think of you now? Do you know what the nicknames of the two of us are in the court? Hmph, we call it the "Zhang Su" combination. It's because of your guy's words that the two of us were broken apart! Hum! When the man had finished answering, he said no more.
It's over, this guy must have seen that I came back alone, and Su Wu didn't come back, so he held a grudge against me. Really, I didn't catch the sheep and herd them, why are you rolling your eyes at me? Besides, my relationship with Su Wu is not bad, and Su Wu will be sad if you do this.
But one thing, I really didn't expect that this person was Zhang Qian. In my impression, Zhang Qian should be a beautiful young man with a good demeanor, how can he be a bad old man who is over half a hundred years old?
Since people didn't want to deal with me, I didn't want to be bored, so I had to turn my eyes to the table in front of me. Well, it would be more accurate to say that the food in front of you comes up. At this time, the palace maid who served the food was gone, and it seemed that the food was finished.
Good guy, I don't know if I don't see this, it's really a frightening feeling.
I finally know what the Emperor's House is called. Look at this table, there are those who fly in the sky, those who run underground, those who swim in the water, those that grow on the land, those who grow in the trees, and those who swim in the grass...... As long as it is something that can be eaten, as long as it is good, it will come up.
But I didn't see my favorite three fresh, potatoes, radish, and Chinese cabbage.
During the Han Dynasty, after all, some fruits and vegetables did not come to China. Because of this, there is an allusion to Zhang Qian's mission to the Western Regions. Because of this, the famous Silk Road was created.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but look at this guy in front of me. Anyway, Zhang Qian is a hero in history.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know the purpose of this banquet today?" As soon as Emperor Wu saw that the dishes were served, he stood up and glanced at the people below and said.
The crowd was silent and did not dare to speak. After all, who would dare to speculate on the emperor's intentions? That's really looking for death.
Seeing that everyone did not answer, the emperor continued: "I have three intentions for setting up this banquet today. The first point is that Dongfang Shuo returned triumphantly on the territory of the Huns, and I took the wind and washed the dust for him. ”
Hearing my name called, I hurriedly stood up, bowed in place and said, "Your Majesty, you are sage, and the ministers are afraid." ”
"Hehe, forget it, Dongfang, sit down, it's okay." The emperor nodded, and then said: "The second purpose is to tell you a good news, the Huns have sent me a letter. The letter stated that within three years, there would be no more clashes at the border. As for the third thing, it is the widow's sister, which is the current Princess Pingyang. I'm about to get married. ”
After he finished speaking, the people below burst into thunderous applause.
"It's really strange that this murderous Huns actually revised the peace treaty with us for three years."
"Who knows, anyway, our country doesn't need to fight now, haha, we can travel again......"
"Hey, tell me, Princess Pingyang is actually getting married, but I don't know who can be this lucky person?"
"Haven't you heard of that? Why is this good news one after another tonight......"
I couldn't listen to what these people were talking about, but I knew that it wasn't me tonight. The emperor clearly told me at noon that this was a banquet for me.
At one point, why don't I know about the Huns? When was it transmitted? Who is the letter? You must know that our trip to the Huns this time was not smooth, it can be said to be a thorny bush. It's strange, is there any conspiracy that can't be realized?
That last point caught me off guard. Although I knew that Princess Pingyang could not be my wife, when I heard the emperor's announcement, my heart was still empty, and I felt like I had lost something.
After all, the princess and I have a skin-to-skin relationship, and this is not a simple dewy couple. Although I didn't find out the relationship, to a certain extent, the emperor would definitely know about me and the princess.
No wonder I always feel like something is wrong with the princess these days? She looked at me as if she was always talking and stopping, as if she was hiding something. I was also blamed for being so stupid that I didn't see what the princess was thinking.
Although I say that I have Xiaorou in mind, the woman who sleeps next to me is a princess. To say that I don't feel anything about her is pure. After all, a husband and wife for a hundred days, not to mention more, at least the princess and I have a month to be together.
When I think about it, I feel like I'm losing my appetite for the food in front of me.
"Oriental, Oriental? What do you mean by this, do you mean that the dishes made by my imperial chefs are not to your taste? "The emperor saw that the food in front of me didn't move at all, and he looked at me blankly at the food, and asked with a little doubt in his heart.
