After staying in the Sifang Pavilion, the three of Qin Ming, including the hundred Chu soldiers, were treated the best.

That night, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu personally came to entertain Qin Ming and the others.

This Ministry of Rites, a middle-aged man in his forties, saw him arrive at the Sifang Pavilion, and said to the three people in the hall:

"Three, they are the negotiators of the Chu State?"

Qin Ming put down the tea in his hand, and didn't get up, just said lightly: "Exactly!" ”

"There are also etiquette in this negotiation, the three juniors, when they see the official, they don't do etiquette, they don't care, they still sit calmly, this is really rude......"

The Ministry of Etiquette is the most important etiquette, and at this moment, the attitude towards Qin Ming and the three of them is naturally very dissatisfied.

Qin Ming and the three of them adhered to the high-profile plan and still sat still.

I heard Qin Ming speak lightly and said: "This is the reason for inviting guests to the door, but picking customers, is this etiquette?" ”

"This ......" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said:

"Although it is said that I invited your envoy from the southern country, but the basic etiquette should always be there, is it possible that the dignified Chu country is a rude state?"

Although the war was lost, both sides are the state of etiquette, and they can also find fault in the etiquette area!

This is also the purpose of his personal visit to the Ministry of Rites, which is to kill the sharpness of Qin Ming and the others, and to get off the horse.

In fact, although Qin Ming had already given Nanguo several dismounts......

Facing the words of the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Linglong and Xue Rengui looked at each other, and some didn't know what to do.

Qin Ming sneered and dealt with it calmly: "Etiquette is between equals, you can have it, the Ministry of Etiquette is still the book, right?" Let me ask you, how much etiquette did you have in the southern country and towards the white country? ”

"Of course there is!" The Ministry of Rites said.

Qin Ming laughed and said, "But as far as I know, on that day, the old marshal of your country went to the palace of the White Kingdom to see the Emperor of the White Kingdom, without the slightest etiquette, and even threatened and intimidated the Emperor of the White Kingdom.

This scene, the officials of the White State are all known, and I am also present, and you have no etiquette for the king of a country, and you are the marshal of the Southern Kingdom, so here, what etiquette do you talk to me about? ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was speechless for a while, hesitated, and said: "It seems that a small country like the White Country, and my big country treats it, so naturally it doesn't need too much etiquette!" ”

Qin Ming smiled: "That's right, as I said at the beginning, etiquette can only be had between equals." And my Chu country, and your southern country are not equal. The country of your defeated army in the south, in the eyes of my Chu country, is a weak country, and how can a strong country have etiquette against a weak country? ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu took two steps back, his face ugly.

Zhu Linglong applauded excitedly: "Well said! ”

She used to hate that kind of man who was bare and bare mouthful, until she met Qin Ming, and she took it.

Only then did I understand that in fact, the person who can clean up people with his mouth is the real cow!

The Shangshu of the Southern Kingdom Rite Department was dumbfounded by Qin Ming's few words, and at the same time, looking at Qin Ming's eyes, he was also a little helpless.

As the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he even said that he was just a hairy boy in his eyes, which really made him feel ashamed.

"Hmph, this official doesn't have a verbal dispute with you." The Ministry of Rites can only stop talking about things with etiquette.

Qin Ming smiled faintly: "You also know that this is a battle of tongues?" Okay, you are a southern country, since you are proposing peace talks and negotiations, but you are here to take advantage of the verbal dispute with me, what does it mean to be here? Do you want me to negotiate with the state of Chu, or do you want to make trouble? ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu hurriedly said: "Naturally, it is negotiating. ”

"Since it is a peace quest and wants to negotiate, take out your proper attitude!" Qin Ming said lightly.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said, "What's wrong with the hospitality?" ”

Qin Ming thought for a while: "No, but your attitude just now made Lao Tzu unhappy!" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu was helpless, so he could only give up his hand and say: "If there is anything wrong with this official, I hope to forgive me......"

Qin Ming took a sip of tea and said, "It's placed, I'm not unreasonable, by the way, I don't know why you're here?" ”

"Oh, this official is here to meet a few people, may I ask, who is the chief negotiator?" The Ministry of Rites asked.

Qin Ming said: "It's the official!" ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu said, "Your country, you three negotiators have come? ”

"Enough!" Qin Ming said.

In fact, it stands to reason that there will be more than a dozen, and all of them must be able to speak well.

This time, there were only three young men and women from the Chu State, and it was really ...... I don't pay attention!

The Ministry of Rites thought so in his heart.

"The official is here to greet and meet the three, if it is late today, the official will not disturb the three." The Ministry of Rites said.

Qin Ming waved his hand: "Go!" ”

The posture is quite not to put this Shangshu in his eyes!

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu didn't say anything more, anyway, what he couldn't say, it was better to endure it.

Qin Ming was as stunned as ever, not to mention the book of the gift department, during the whole process, his body didn't get up for a moment, and he was enough to clean up the book of the Ministry of Gifts.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu left the Sifang Pavilion and immediately went to the palace to report the situation.

Goden!

Nanhuang looked sad and asked, "The Ministry of Rites, how many negotiators have come?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there are three negotiators!" The Ministry of Rites said.

Nanhuang frowned: "Why are there only three?" ”

"Yes, it's three people, the rest are escorts, and all three of them are young people." The Ministry of Rites said.

Nanhuang's face became more and more unsightly, and he was silent for a while, and said, "It's like this...... Don't you pay attention? ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you pay attention to it, it's like a joke, these three people...... Hey, it's hard to put into words! The Ministry of Rites sighed.

Nanhuang said, "What? These three, how? ”

"These three people were so rampant that when they first heard that they had entered the border, they were very high-profile and wanted to leave the southern country at any time. The minister originally thought, how can a few young people be crazy?

But...... Hey, after the minister went, I wanted to give them a dismount and save some gestures, but I didn't expect that I was speechless when I was pushed by them.

In short, the ministers can't say anything about them, they seem to have no fear, all kinds of high-profile, but their words are reasonable, which makes people quite helpless and has a headache. ”

After finishing speaking, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu shook his head.

Nanhuang took a deep breath and said, "Okay...... I know, stand down, let me think about it, how to deal with it tomorrow......"

……

The next day, the palace Jinluan Palace, after Baiguan Mountain called long live, stood on both sides.

Above, the emperor of the southern kingdom said: "The negotiator of the Chu State, why hasn't he come yet?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is going to urge ......"

One of the guards spoke, then turned to leave.

On the other side, Qin Ming and the three of them from the Sifang Pavilion were sitting together for breakfast at the moment.

On the side, the host and guest Shilang said with a bitter face: "Three, Your Majesty summoned you this morning, can you three eat quickly?" Waiting to go up to the Golden Luan Palace......"

Qin Ming didn't care and said, "What's the hurry?" You asked for negotiations, so can't you just talk to us? ”

In fact, Qin Ming just had to be deliberately late!
