90 Yang Zhong tested the foreign national power and made the envoys offer precious stones
The attitude of the Blue Bird Kingdom towards the people of Sanaria from top to bottom made the envoys from Shanaria greatly appreciated.
The clever little eunuch who knows how to read the eyes, the gentle and demure palace maid, and the minister of foreign affairs who came to pick him up.
The people of the Blue Bird country attach the most importance to etiquette, which is also what the people of Shanaria people admire.
Soon, the envoys of Shanaria Kingdom have come to the court to pay homage to the emperor of the Blue Bird Kingdom, Emperor Fu Zixuan.
Blue eyes, a high nose, different skin tones and different bone appearance.
As the king of a country, Huangfu Zixuan naturally would not be surprised by the different looks of Shanaria people like ordinary people.
But seeing the people of Shanaria who look the same and have such a huge difference in the four countries, Huangfu Zixuan is still a little curious.
"Sanaria's envoy Dono, see the monarch of the Blue Bird Kingdom!"
Several Sanaria nationals spoke the broken Blue Bird Chinese dialect that was clearly audible.
And the etiquette of the people of Sanaria is also different from that of the Blue Bird Country and even Shikoku.
In particular, the favorite thing for the Blue Bird people is to bow and bow, as well as to bow down in front of the Venerable. And Sanaria just gently put his right hand on his left chest. Leaning over slightly, he looks very religious.
It's just that the ministers of the Blue Bird Kingdom have never seen such a way of saluting, and some of the ministers even have the bearing of a self-proclaimed great power, thinking that the envoys of the Shanaria Kingdom are disrespectful to the monarch of the Blue Bird Country.
Yang Zhong, the secretary of the treasury, was one of them, so Lord Yang Zhong Yang walked in front of these envoys of Shanaria and said sourly: "I don't know the envoys from your country, do you know that our Blue Bird Country has an interesting saying?" ”
Those envoys of the Sanaria Kingdom obviously didn't hear Lord Yang Zhong's words, and looked at Yang Zhong who walked in front of him with a smile on his face: "This lord, might as well come and listen to it?" ”
Yang Zhong held his head high and said with a smile: "There is a saying that goes, follow the customs of the locals. ”
The envoy of the Sanaria country at the head hurriedly said: "I know what this lord said about following the customs of the country, although I am a beginner in the Chinese of the Blue Bird, but I have heard my teacher say that when you come to a country, you should follow the rules and systems of that country......"
The envoy had clearly fallen into Lord Yang's language trap.
"The envoy is right, I didn't expect you to be really knowledgeable." Yang Zhong looked at several envoys with a smile, "Then, everyone? If you know this truth, why not follow the local customs? Do you bow down to me before the Son of Heaven? ”
Before Yang Zhong could finish his words, the faces of the envoys had already changed.
The other envoys above the court had already understood the intention of Lord Yang Zhongyang's words.
Demonstrate.
Demonstration for the Blue Bird Country.
So did these envoys meet the monarch of the Blue Bird Kingdom according to the etiquette of their own Sanaria Kingdom? Or do you follow the customs of the locals, according to Lord Yang Zhongyang, give in, and bow down to the monarch of the Blue Bird Country?
In fact, Lord Yang Zhongyang's approach is also a kind of temptation, testing what kind of courage this envoy from the Shanaria Kingdom who came from far west has?
It is also a test of the national strength of Shanaria.
But who knows, the people of Nasanaria do not want to show the mountains and waters, and the envoys sent here are all people who can bend and stretch, and will not speak quickly.
After listening to Lord Yang Zhong's words, he was only slightly stunned, not at all angered by Lord Yang Zhong's words, and he was very calm. As soon as Yang Zhong's words came out, several people from Shanaria immediately understood each other.
I really learned from the appearance of several ministers above the court, and knelt down without hesitation.
When Yang Zhong saw such a scene, he was completely unexpected, and he was very surprised, all the ministers in the court, including Wu Xiangye and Huangfu Ziwei, were all at a loss and didn't know how to end it.
The monarch of the Blue Bird Kingdom cleverly solved the embarrassing situation.
I saw Huangfu Zixuan sit up from the dragon chair, walked in front of several envoys of Shanaria Kingdom, and supported him with his own hands.
"It doesn't have to be like this, it's fun to have friends from afar. Since you have come from thousands of miles away, I naturally want to treat you friends who have come from afar. ”
Huangfu Zixuan thought about it thoroughly, and when he received the customs clearance document from the direction of Wu a few days ago, Dayuanxian of the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branch had already found out important information and informed Huangfu Zixuan in time.
The purpose of sending envoys to Sanaria was not simple, not just to conclude friendly relations with the four countries, but to select the most powerful countries in the four countries to combine strongly.
And these envoys of Shanaria Kingdom passed through the Kingdom of Wu and then came to the Kingdom of Blue Birds.
Huangfu Zixuan clearly recognized the importance of friendship between the Blue Bird Country and the Shanaria Country.
Naturally, they didn't dare to treat these envoys from Shanaria badly.
Others naturally think that the envoy is also a courtier, but in fact, the envoy of Shanaria came to the Blue Bird Country, and this envoy actually represents the king of Shanaria Kingdom.
Even Huangfu Zixuan carefully observed that the one headed by the envoy should not be an ordinary envoy.
It looks like a pampered and personable little prince.
When Emperor Zixuan personally picked up the envoys, the envoy headed by Shanaria Kingdom saw that there was a minister who was struggling to write a book on the side.
That person is the historian of the Blue Bird Country.
The envoy of Shanaria Kingdom did not know why, and asked the Emperor Fu Zixuan of the Blue Bird Kingdom on the spot: "Your Majesty, what does that minister do?" ”
Huangfu Zixuan patiently explained: "This person is the historian of my Blue Bird Country, a person who specializes in recording the words and deeds of the monarch and the gains and losses of government affairs. ”
The people of Shanaria were instantly interested.
"Historian? It is very new, and there has never been such a person in our country, so it can be regarded as a good way to admonish the monarch to be diligent in government affairs. ”
Huangfu Zixuan smiled slightly, expressing pride, and then the historian led by him made another request.
"Your Majesty, the monarch of our Sanaria country, is very interested in you, I wonder if Your Majesty can allow your ministers to copy a copy of your annals and bring them back to China?"
Before the words of the envoys of the kingdom of Sanaria fell, there were courtiers above the court who objected.
"No, this is the internal affairs of the Blue Bird, and it is also a state secret, how can I let you outsiders snoop on?"
"Like, what is that?"
"Where is the truth?"
Above the court, everyone talked about it, but only the monarch of the Blue Bird Country remained calm.
I saw Huangfu Zixuan smiling slightly, very generous.
"Why not, just transcribe it."
The envoy led by Sanaria had fulfilled his wish, and his mood was also very comfortable, and he hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Later, the envoy headed by him glanced at the little eunuch who had been holding the box behind him, and the little eunuch immediately understood and held the box and presented it.
The envoy at the head pointed to the box and formally introduced himself to the emperor's father.
"Your Majesty, the minister is the little prince of Sanaria country, and he is very honored to see the king of the blue bird country, this is the treasure of our Sanaria country, and I invite your majesty to taste it."
When Huangfu Zixuan heard this, it was exactly the same as expected, and the envoy headed by him was indeed not an ordinary courtier, but the little prince who should be the most trusted by the monarch of Shanaria.
That is, Sanali, the little prince of the country of Sanaria.
Sanali continued: "Your Majesty, the country of Sanaria is rich in gems and minerals, and these are all kinds of gemstones that my father specially sent someone to carefully select and polish, and please accept them with a smile. ”
The little eunuch took advantage of the situation to open the box, and under the staggered sunlight, these gems of different shapes emitted a dazzling light, which also attracted the attention of all the ministers present.
And those Sanaria people looked strange.
There were about three large sapphires in the box, all polished into a round shape. The rest of the gems were small, red or yellow, much inferior to the three dazzling sapphires.
However, in terms of purity, in terms of dazzling fire, it must be better than the turquoise and gems on the heads of all the concubines in the harem of the Blue Bird Country.
Such a thing may not be an uncommon thing in Sanaria, but in the country of Blue Bird, a beautiful gem sent from the far west, Sanaria.
It must be a peerless treasure.
These gems are really dazzling, not to mention the ministers of the court, even the emperor Zixuan has been shocked.
After placing several envoys of Shanaria Kingdom, Huangfu Zixuan went to the Qinzheng Palace to deal with government affairs.
The chief eunuch Shun Neng presented a cup of tea to the emperor Zi Xuan, and while the tea was served, the eunuch Shun Neng mentioned to the emperor Zi Xuan about the gems sent by the Sanaria country.
"Your Majesty, what does Your Majesty plan to dispose of the gems offered by the envoys of Shanaria?"
Gems or something, naturally, are women's decorations, not to mention, the monarch of the Blue Bird Kingdom has always only used yellow gems to decorate the crown.
This time, the Sanaria Kingdom sent all the best large sapphires, and the other yellow ores were too small to match the identity of the monarch, so the emperor Zixuan didn't need it.
Huangfu Zixuan put down his pen and ink and told Shun Neng.
"There are three blue gems in total, which are sent to the queen's palace, Chang Guifei, and Xiao Concubine, and the remaining yellow gems are sent to Changnan Palace, and the rest of Shunneng's father-in-law looks at and distributes them to everyone in the harem."
Shunneng's father-in-law agreed, but suddenly found that something seemed wrong.
Shunneng's father-in-law pondered Huangfu Zixuan's words repeatedly, and reminded the emperor by the way.
"Your Majesty, the three sapphires in the best condition were assigned to the queen mother, the concubine Chang, and Concubine Xiao...... Have you forgotten Concubine Zhao Chen? ”
Huangfu Zixuan also reacted immediately, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.
