Chapter 12: People-Oriented (II)
October 16, auspicious, the day of the Yan dynasty.
Early in the morning, Wei Guozheng made Wei Nan and the deputy envoy two under the arrangement of the Yan State Rite Department.
came to the gate of the Ji Palace, preparing to meet Yan Wang Kang today, so that Wei Guo would become the vassal state of Yan State.
The two got out of the van, holding a box in each hand, and stood outside the gate, waiting for Yan Wangkang's summons.
In the box in the hands of Wei Nan, there is a map of the mountains, rivers and cities of the country;
In the box in the hands of the deputy envoy is the household register of Wei Guo.
This time, the Jidu party brought a deep impression to Wei Nan's family, and the memories were also beautiful.
Of course, there are also many "embarrassing" things that happen in the process.
For example, in the "State Guesthouse" of Yan Kingdom, Wei Nan and his entourage made a lot of "troubles".
Not to mention the layout and scenery of the state guesthouse, nor how "luxurious" the decoration inside is. Let's just say that the facilities in the state guesthouse are complete and luxurious, so that these envoys from the country have never seen or heard of it.
The Patriotic Envoys entered the State Guesthouse, each of whom had a room, and each room had a separate bedroom, study, and living room, and even the so-called "bathroom" that everyone in the Patriotic Envoy Group remembered.
On the first day, the people of these patriotic missions stationed in the Yanguo State Guesthouse can be said to be full of jokes.
The so-called "bidet toilet" in the bathroom was only figured out by everyone later. Let's just say that those white porcelain, all kinds of toiletries, let everyone open their eyes.
and the "water tap" that can automatically flow out of the water with a flick of the hand, which amazes everyone again and again.
The most embarrassing thing for everyone is that after Gong, they can't find a "toilet chip".
Of course, everyone later knew what was going on, and the toilet chips in the Yanguo State Guesthouse had been replaced by soft, white "toilet paper" in a box next to the toilet.
Jidu is the capital of Yan Kingdom, and its prosperous scene is needless to say.
At night, the entire Jidu city is bright, and the bustling and crowded "night market" makes everyone in the Patriotic Envoy Group, including Wei Nan, stop and admire.
Everyone has been in Jidu for so many days, and in the end, there is only one thought left: Yan Kingdom has actually developed to such a point! If only I could live in this city!
An attendant came out of the palace gate and interrupted Wei Nan's thoughts:
"Lord Guard, there is an edict from the king, you can wait in the side hall for a while, and my king will summon it later."
Wei Nan hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm tired." ”
"Please two messengers, untie your swords and hand them over to your care."
This is the etiquette of a foreign minister when he meets the king of a country, and Wei Nan and the deputy envoy naturally understand.
"It's nature." Wei Nanshi replied.
Wei Nan and the deputy envoy untied the sword they were wearing and handed it to the envoy.
entered the gate of the Thistle Palace, and then was led to a side hall by this attendant.
The two sat on the chairs inside, drinking water and waiting quietly.
After a while, Wei Nan and the deputy envoy heard a neat shout from outside, like a tsunami:
"Ten thousand years of my king! Years! Years! Ten thousand years! ”
"Ten thousand years of Yan Kingdom! Years! Years! Ten thousand years! ”
Wei Nan knew that this was Yan Wang Kang, the king of Yan Kingdom, who had gone to the palace.
I just didn't expect that the momentum would be so majestic and atmospheric.
Wei Nanshi glanced at his deputy envoy and found that he actually looked nervous.
I'm nervous too! But at this time, we must not insult the national body of the country.
"Deputy envoy, don't be too nervous, although we are small states, we are here to see King Yan this time, as a vassal of Yan State. When I go to the upper hall, I must not insult my patriotic body, and let the courtiers of Yan State laugh at my patriotic country. ”
"I am making ...... Just what he said is true, and he is not ...... Not nervous. ”
After the deputy envoy finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table in front of him, took a sip of water, and relieved his mood.
Looking at his deputy envoy, still looking restrained, Wei Nan shook his head.
Ji Kang sat on the throne in the main hall, and Minister Su came out to report:
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the Wei Nan clan and the deputy envoy of the Wei Guo have come to present the household registration of the Wei Guo and the Kanyu Atlas to our king, as the vassal state of my Yan State, please make it clear to my king."
This matter has already been discussed by all the ministers of the Yan Kingdom, and there is nothing to consider at the moment, so Ji Kang will no longer hesitate.
"The order of the waiter, the edict of the widow, ordered the Wei Nan clan and the deputy envoy to go to the palace to meet them, and the nine guests were introduced."
The attendant standing under the throne ordered the king to obey, and after listening to the orders of his own king, he bowed down and said to Ji Kang:
"Obey the edict."
Then he came out, stood in the center of the throne, and shouted with a loud voice:
"There is an edict from the king, and it is rumored that the envoy Wei Nan and the deputy envoy will go to the palace to meet them. Play the protocol song, and the nine bin rites are introduced. ”
This voice was transmitted outside the main hall by a sound, and reached the side hall where Wei Nan and the deputy envoy were resting.
Wei Nan and the deputy envoy naturally heard it clearly.
After hearing Yan Wangkang, who was about to introduce himself and his deputy envoy with Jiubinli, the two knew that the purpose of this trip to Yan Country had been achieved. It seems that the Yan State has officially accepted the Wei State as a vassal state of the Yan State.
An attendant came in, bowed to Wei Nan, and said:
"Two messengers, the king has decreed that two messengers should come to the temple to meet them."
Wei Nan and the deputy envoy stood up, each holding a wooden box in both hands, and walked out of the gate of the side hall with the attendant.
At this time, the square under the Great Hall of the Thistle Palace was already full of palace guards standing tall and with bright armor.
The solemn welcome song has also been played in the square.
Since it was the Nine Bin Ceremony, there were naturally nine attendants of the Yan Kingdom who came to introduce Wei Nan and the deputy envoy.
This is, an attendant came, holding Wei Nan's sword in both hands, and said to Wei Nan:
"There is an edict from the king, and the envoy is authorized to bring a sword to the palace to meet my king."
This is the highest courtesy to the envoy of the patriotic country, and Wei Nan is naturally moved.
Wei Nan hurriedly bowed down and said to the attendant, "Foreign minister, thank you for the grace of King Yan. ”
Wei Nan, the main envoy of the country, and the two deputy envoys, under the guidance of nine attendants, entered the main hall of Jigong Palace.
As soon as the two entered the main hall of the Ji Palace, they took a few steps forward and fell to the ground.
Wei Nan knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Ji Kang and said:
"Wei Nan, the envoy of the country, knock to see King Yan. Specially enshrine the mountains and rivers of the country and the city of Kanyu map and the household register of the country and the king of Yan, please accept the king of Yan. I defend the country and am willing to be the vassal state of Yan forever, and I am loyal. ”
With that, the two opened the box on the ground, revealing the map of the mountains, rivers, cities, and towns of the country and the household registration atlas.
The attendant ordered Wang Cong to bring two attendants forward, presented the two boxes, and presented them to Ji Kang.
Ji Kang took out the map and household registration book of Weiguo from the box, took a cursory look at it, and put it down.
On the throne, he looked at the kneeling Wei Nan clan and the deputy envoy, and said slowly:
"Wei Envoy, Wei Jun's intentions, the widow already knows. The widow will tell the world that from today on, Wei Guo will become a vassal state of my Yan State and be protected by my Yan State. ”
"Thank you, my king." Wei Nan and the deputy envoy kowtowed again.
At the same time that Ji Kang agreed to accept Wei Guo as a vassal state, the courtiers and officials of Wei Guo can also be regarded as the courtiers of Yan State. Therefore, in the territory of Yan State, you can no longer call yourself a foreign minister.
"The two envoys have worked hard, wait a minute! Later, the widow will hold a banquet to entertain the two envoys and their entourage. ”
"Thank you for your grace." Wei Nan and the deputy envoy said in unison.
Yan Xiao became three years, October 16.
Yan State issued an edict to the world and declared Nawei State a vassal state of Yan State.
When the news came out, the courtiers of the Central Plains were all taken aback.
This Yan Wangkang is really bold!
After annexing the Qi State, now he actually accepted the Wei State as the vassal state of the Yan State.
Wei and Zhao around the country were very unhappy, this country actually took refuge in the Yan country, and did not come to their own country.
When Qin Wang Yingji heard this, he was furious.
Since Yingji's "Chan Rang" forced the Son of Heaven to death and moved Jiuding to Xianyang, he has already regarded himself as the Son of Heaven.
But Wei Guo's approach at this time undoubtedly gave Qin Wang Yingji a "slap in the face".
It's useless for you Yingji to call yourself the Son of Heaven, although I am small in defending the country, I don't look at you in the eyes of the Qin country, but serve the Yan country as the master.
Then it is conceivable that the other countries in the Central Plains will not take the Qin State seriously.
The old man Yingji is now very obsessed with being the Son of Heaven.
In the court of the Qin State, Yingji was furious, and in front of all the ministers, he scolded the monarch Wei Gongji and Yan Wang Kang.
I want to send troops to fight against Wei Guo and Yan Guo, and I want the Central Plains countries to know who is the real overlord of the world!
