Chapter 490: Is This Still a Person?
In the following days, Quintu was not idle.
Although there are a lot of envoys from Wusun, the only ones who are really qualified to follow them to the Han Palace are Kuntu and his two deputy envoys.
The envoys of some small countries did not even have the opportunity to ascend the Great Han Palace.
It's not that I look down on people, although the Great Han Hall is very large, the place is limited after all.
There are so many foreign friends here, no matter what the Han says, he has to pay attention to it, so this time it was a big court meeting, and all the civil and military officials above the fifth grade in Luoyang went to the court.
Therefore, these thousands of envoys from the Western Regions are really qualified to enter the Great Han Palace.
It was also the five representatives jointly elected by Kuntu and his deputy envoys, the chief and deputy envoys of Qiuzi, and hundreds of cities in the southern part of the Western Regions.
They gathered the intentions of the hundreds of cities in the southern part of the Western Regions and their most desired wishes, and came to contact the emperor on their behalf.
But this kind of thing is actually just that.
It is only a reflection of the strength of a country, and it is more intended to report than to discuss.
Fortunately, under Lu Jia's tutelage, these envoys were very discerning, and they handed over their credentials when they first came.
Therefore, today's court meeting is actually just a formality.
As for the results?
Actually, there already is.
For example, the first to speak were the envoys of Qiuzi, then the representatives of the Western Regions Cities, and finally Kuntu.
In addition, even the order of Kuntu's speech questions was clearly explained by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Isn't that obvious enough?
Although these guests from the Western Regions did not know, every official of the Han Dynasty understood that the questions that could be allowed to be asked were all fine, and the Han could agree to them.
And those that are not allowed to be discussed should not be bothered again, lest everyone be unhappy and hurt the peace.
If you don't want to stop there, then wait until you have a private discussion with the officials of the Ministry of Rites, so that no matter what happens in the end, there will be several lines of defense behind you.
"The scenery here is really good, how nice it would be if you could build a city palace like this in Wusun......" Standing in front of the Han Palace, Kuntu turned around and looked at the scenery behind him, the whole Luoyang was in full view, not to mention the shock.
"Forget it, Prince, we can't afford to play ......," Quint's deputy envoy said Lemon Sour.
"You can't play anymore, this has built the city palace, and the life is comfortable, but how to graze?" The Turtle Envoy sighed.
This kind of life seems to be incompatible with their natural eight characters.
As a country, what depends on survival is nomadism, which built the city and palace, and settled down, how to graze?
"That's not necessarily, build a royal city, and you can graze how you want to graze outside, and it won't affect anything!" Quintu thought about it, he was still hungry......
They didn't talk about it for long.
Under the reminder of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, the group began to enter the Great Han Palace.
And the moment they entered the Great Han Palace, the entire delegation from the Western Regions was stunned.
Completely intimidated.
As far as the eye can see, there is a sunken staircase with a long corridor in between.
On both sides of the corridor are clear pools with flowers and even fish swimming.
Looking further to both sides, there is the queue of ministers of civil and military affairs.
Everyone had a few cases in front of them, looking at each other.
The interior of the entire hall is dominated by white, and the reason why red or other colors are not chosen.
It's all because it's too dark and affects the light.
The Great Han Hall is a brick and concrete structure, which is destined to have a wooden structure of the hall here.
Again, even if the design of the windows is not small, the problem is.
Now this season, it's still a little cool.
Opening the windows can increase the amount of light to a certain extent, but in the same way, everyone in the hall must also be prepared to be frozen.
Therefore, the windows are closed at the moment, and the doors are also closed after the personnel enter.
There are countless oil lamps lit inside, and the flames are rubbing, shining out bright lights, making this supposed dim hall extremely transparent.
At this moment, Quintu was stunned.
Although they had seen this palace countless times from outside, this was the first time they had actually entered it.
They had imagined what it would look like, but when they actually entered, they found that their imagination was still a little lacking.
I never imagined that this could be so luxurious.
So, should I step on my left foot first? Or should you take the right foot first?
How do I go in order to show that I have a connotation of low-key luxury?
"Prince, please ......," the official reminded with a calm look on his face.
He had already given Quint and the others enough time to be shocked, and this point in time was just right.
It leaves time to react without feeling awkward.
"Disrespectful! Disrespectful! Quintu was still a little embarrassed.
Shame, shame.
Anyway, he is also the eldest prince of Wusun, and the king of Wusun in the future will be scared like this when he sees the palace of the Han Dynasty, it is really ......
Ay......
Stepping up the sunken staircase and up the central hallway, feeling the gaze from both sides, Quintu felt a tremendous amount of pressure.
This is a feeling that I have never felt before in Wusun, this feeling is strange, a little scared, and a little excited.
At the end of the corridor is a slightly smaller platform.
Then there are the nine steps, and when you go up the steps, there is a slightly larger platform on which are placed nine sheets.
There is no doubt that this is where they are.
In fact, this palace was designed with the possibility of foreign envoys coming to worship in the future, so this design was added at the very beginning.
After all, in a big country, there will naturally be no low-level mistakes in etiquette.
It's not that people come to stand and sit without sitting, and even saying hello is embarrassing.
Therefore, this position is the third most beautiful position in the entire hall.
And the most beautiful cub is naturally the emperor.
The second was the three high-ranking officials, whose position was above their current position in Kuntu, and they were nine steps away from them.
The area is about the same size, but there are only three tables in it.
"The prince of Wusun, Kuntu, and the envoy of Qiuzi...... I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Han ......"
The rules and etiquette have long been explained by officials of the Ministry of Etiquette, and the positions and words to be said have all been explained in advance.
And the current size and strength of the Han Kingdom, these seemingly minor issues, are not up to their opinions.
It can only be explained by the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and they have to do what they do.
To paraphrase the opening sentence of the official of the Ministry of Rites, when you arrive in the Han Dynasty, you have to abide by the rules of the Han Dynasty and respect the customs of the Han Dynasty, so if you have something to do, don't always talk about your rules and customs.
When the envoys of the Han Dynasty come to your territory, they will also respect your manners and customs.
It's a normal sentence, but at this moment, when the officials of the Ministry of Rites say it, they don't dare to refuse and deny it.
It's like saying hello to the emperor, why do they say that, they naturally don't understand, but they still have to follow the arrangement.
And the most commonly used words are see, meet, and see.
See is generally used when officials face the emperor, while interviews are often used for people who do not have officials, as well as subjects of lower status, defeated parties, etc.
I have seen it, and it is often used in this kind of diplomatic occasion, although the city of the Western Regions is very small, the population is also small, and it is not even as good as a county in the Han Dynasty.
But after all, they are a regime and a force, at least at this time, they are at the same level as the Han at a certain level.
Different occasions, different identities, different words, this kind of cultural heritage, these envoys in the Western Regions still can't understand it for a while.
But it doesn't matter, soon they will understand.
Wang Buyu responded with a smile and beckoned everyone to take their seats.
It was another unnutritious chicken soup talk, and this gradually began to get to the point.
As for the matter of diplomacy, the truth that weak countries have no diplomacy actually exists now.
Although it was not directly said, it was already shown in action.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Han, I greet you on behalf of King Qiuzi, and at the same time hope to be able to open trade routes and trade with the Han Dynasty, we need cloth, salt and iron and other materials from the Han Dynasty......"
"Your Majesty the Emperor of Han, the same is true of our southern cities in the Western Regions......" A representative from the southern part of the Western Regions stood up and said after the Qiuzi envoy.
Although they are numerous and the place is not small, they are representatives of hundreds of forces after all.
The single strength is not strong, so the appeal for trade can only be said behind Qiuzi.
And in today's whole arrangement, they only have one chance to speak alone.
And this only chance is because there is no way to coincide with Wusun and Qiuzi, and there is no way to catch someone else's ride, so I have to give them this chance.
"Good! The envoys can stay in Dahan for a while longer, and see what supplies you all need, and the Ministry of Commerce must do a good job of docking! Wang Buxing nodded programmatically in agreement, and then threw the task to the Ministry of Commerce.
"Obey the order!" Tian Dan stood up and responded.
"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, we all rely on farming in the southern cities of the Western Regions for a living, but the Lu envoy said that our farming skills are not good, so we want to implore Your Majesty to teach us some farming techniques, we can give us a reward, and it is definitely not ......in vain."
Although I have seen it for a long time, but listening to these people from the Western Regions speaking Chinese, or Chinese with a Luoyang accent, Wang Buyu and the ministers still feel an inexplicable sense of joy.
"This cultivation also needs to be adapted to local conditions, so let's find a group of experienced people in the household department and go to the Western Regions after a while to see what technology is suitable for there!" Wang Bu was not hungry and responded very calmly.
This kind of conversation is actually very boring, but Quintu listens very carefully, and he finds it very interesting.
However, Quintu forgets that after this question, it is time for him to intervene.
"Prince...... The prince ......" Kuntu's deputy envoy called Kuntu in a low voice, but he didn't see that the officials of the Ministry of Rites below were already sweating profusely, and his little eyes kept drifting over, if he hadn't been able to make a sound, he would have been unable to hold it back.
And Quint, who received the reminder, only then did he react, oh, it's my turn?
"Your Majesty the Emperor, I want to have a good relationship with the Han, in order to be able to get in touch better, so I plan to marry my sister to you, but Your Majesty, please rest assured, my sister is called a good one, and it will definitely satisfy you......"
Lu Jia wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: ......
Wang is not hungry: ......
The official of the Ministry of Rites said that I want to die, you didn't say that when you were talking about the words, you must know that your grandson will say this kind of thing, and you will stop you if you kill me, now it's okay, the dignified prince Wusun, actually said on this occasion that my sister is long?
Listen, is this special mother still like a human saying?
Is this still personal?
