Qin Ming has seen a lot of cases of receiving envoys in the past, especially the reception of envoys from the Xia Kingdom.

It can be said that all his behaviors from preparing to now coming to the city tower by himself are exactly the same as the previous reception process.

Now the envoy of the Xia Kingdom used Qin Ming not going down the city tower to go out of the city gate to greet him, saying that Qin Ming couldn't see them clearly, and he couldn't see the Xia Kingdom clearly.

This is obviously something to do.

The state of Chu is the first empire in the surrounding countries, and it has always existed in the form of a big brother in the surrounding countries.

The surrounding younger brothers have never dared to be too rampant in front of the eldest brother, so basically the surrounding countries are giving offerings to the Chu State every year.

And in order to show the status of his eldest brother, the state of Chu will be superior in all aspects.

Therefore, to greet the envoys, it is usually the officials who wait on the tower of the city, and never go downstairs to go out of the city to greet them.

Today, the envoy of the Xia Kingdom asked for this, not only to do things, but also to ignore the eldest brother.

Can this Qin Ming get used to him? That's not going to work.

At the same time, Cheng Wai Lang behind him was secretly happy in his heart, he was very happy to see Qin Ming being troubled and suffering.

But in fact, Qin Ming is by no means the master who suffers.

I saw him condescendingly glaring at the envoys of dozens of people below, and replied domineeringly:

"For a hundred years, my Chu State has received your envoys from the Xia Kingdom like this, and I don't see any opinions from your predecessors and ancestors. Why is it that I have come to you today and am so different? In the opinion of this official, you are deliberately stirring up trouble! ”

The middle-aged man below sneered: "Don't talk nonsense, today is different from the past, my Xia Kingdom is becoming more and more prosperous, and now it is not much worse than the Chu Kingdom, if you don't come down to greet you politely, this envoy will not enter the city." ”

On the tower of the city, all the officials of the main and guest divisions are in a hurry, they come to receive the envoys, if the envoys do not enter the city, what is good?

Chengmen Lang also looked at Qin Ming and said, "Lord Qin, why don't you ......?"

Before he finished speaking, Qin Ming waved his hand to stop him.

Then he looked at the envoy below and said: "Do you like to enter or not, the official will give you three breaths of time to consider, if you don't want to enter the city, the official will close the city gate, don't you want to enter?" ”

The words fell, and Qin Ming looked down with a cold face.

Now those envoys are also forced, what the hell? They are already very rigid, why is this young man even more rigid?

The middle-aged man in the envoy was a little panicked, after all, he had come over after a long journey, and he was really turned away, so what should he do?

And this time I came with the mission of Emperor Xia, if I can't even enter the door, how can I complete the task?

A sense of superiority had just risen, and at this moment, it had been lost by Qin Ming's domineering.

After all, the prestige of Chu State, they are still a little jealous.

But is it necessary to compromise like this? That's too shameless......

When the middle-aged man was entangled, he didn't know that the time of three breaths had passed, so Qin Ming shouted: "Close the city gate!" ”

Everyone was shocked, and the city gate lang swallowed his saliva and said, "Your Excellency, ......"

"The official said to close the city gate, and the official will bear all the consequences!" Qin Ming waited for the city gate lang.

The city gate lang gritted his teeth and ordered: "Close the city gate!" ”

So, after the Xia Kingdom and the others were stunned, the city gate was really closed.

Then I heard Qin Ming on the city tower say: "I didn't come in, but I didn't let him in, forget it, go home and sleep." ”

As he spoke, he was about to leave, and below, the middle-aged faces of the envoys of the Xia Kingdom turned dark.

How can there be such a thing? Is he an envoy, just let the other party go downstairs and go out of the city to greet him, and the other party directly closed the city gate?

Now, the envoys of the Xia Kingdom are embarrassed.

What should I do if I'm turned away?

For a while, dozens of envoys of the Xia Kingdom were blindfolded, not knowing what to do.

On the city tower, seeing that Qin Ming was really leaving, the city gate Lang was anxious and said:

"Lord Qin, this ...... It's not appropriate, right? ”

Qin Ming turned his head: "What's inappropriate?" ”

"No matter what you say, the other party is also an envoy, and if we refuse to leave the door like this, it will hurt the harmony between the two countries. If the Emperor of Xia learned about it, he would be more serious, and it would be difficult for the two countries to meet each other. "Chengmenlang is worried.

The diplomacy of these two countries has always been a top priority, because if something goes wrong, the impact is too great.

If this situation has immeasurable consequences now, how can he bear it, a small city gatekeeper?

Qin Ming waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, this Xia Kingdom has become a little stronger over the years, and I don't know how many catties and taels I have, and now the envoys dare to be so shy."

If it fuels its wind, don't you really think that my Chu State is cowardly? Won't they kick their noses in the face after that? ”

Chengmen Lang bowed his head and was silent, but Cheng Yuanwailang was happy in his heart, he was looking forward to Qin Ming's death, and it would be good if something happened then.

But as soon as he thought so, he heard the envoy of Xia under the city gate shouting:

"The adults upstairs, it was abrupt just now, please don't care, open the door quickly."

On the city tower, a group of people suddenly froze.

But soon everyone understood why the envoy softened, after all, they came with a mission, if they didn't enter the city and went back, not to mention the contradictions between the two countries, this envoy would definitely be punished.

He didn't want to go back to face Emperor Xia's anger in such a humiliating way, so he chose to coax it.

Qin Ming walked to the city wall, looked at the middle-aged man below and said, "Do you want this official to come down and go out to greet him?" ”

"Where are the adults, it's not bothering!" The middle-aged man had a dark face, but he still had to smile.

Qin Ming snorted and said, "For the sake of you coming to visit my Chu State so sincerely, this official will not care about your disrespect to this official today, come on, open the city gate and let them in." ”

This was said too casually, and after saying that, Qin Ming turned his head and left.

At this time, it seemed that Qin Ming was a little disdainful of these envoys.

People respect me one foot, and I return one foot to others.

But these envoys were not polite to Qin Ming just now, and Qin Ming didn't need to get used to it.

After going down the tower, dozens of envoys were already waiting.

Qin Ming walked over slowly, glanced at these envoys, and then he walked to the carriage and sat in, and said:

"Let's go, follow this official into the court!"

Although the envoys were unhappy, they didn't say anything at the moment, so they had to follow.

Not long after, when he arrived outside the Jinluan Hall of the Imperial Palace, the little eunuch immediately entered:

"Your Majesty, Qin Langzhong brought the envoys of the Xia Kingdom to ask for a meeting!"

"Xuan!" The majestic Chu Emperor opened his mouth lightly.

When he arrived, everyone in the court looked at the door of the main hall, and then saw Qin Ming swaggering in.

While walking, he looked left and right, and when he walked to the side of the Ministry of Rites, he grinned and smiled at the Ministry of Rites.

Then he led the envoys to the front of the middle and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here with the envoys." ”

"Well, Qin Langzhong worked hard!" The emperor glanced at Qin Ming.

Then the thirty envoys knelt down together and shouted: "Envoy of Xia Kingdom, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Chu, long live His Majesty the Emperor of Chu!" ”

"Let's get flat!" The emperor smiled faintly and said, "The envoys of the Xia Kingdom have worked hard all the way. ”

The middle-aged man said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, this journey was not hard, but when I arrived outside the city gate, I ate behind closed doors." ”

Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, Ya is insidious, this slut actually sued the emperor here?
