Chapter 467: Offering Treasure for Help
The final of the first China Cup 16 Guards Championship, exclusively titled by "Tang Ren", will be held in two days.
Even if there are many people who still don't know what exclusive titles and tournaments mean, it doesn't affect them to know that this competition is so grand that it is rare.
The purpose of the Sixteen Wei Dabi was not only to compete, but also to show the strength of the Chen State to the Chu State and the Western Regions States, which had the effect of deterring foreign nations.
This is a rare event, in addition to the officials of the DPRK and China, the powerful people in Beijing, there are also envoys from other countries, and even His Majesty will personally attend.
After the end of this competition, the organizers of the competition will draw two people under the watchful eye and give away gifts worth 10,000 taels of silver.
There are still two days before the competition, and the Xiaocai camp is already busy.
Two days later, in addition to the officials of the DPRK and China, there were also His Majesty and foreign envoys, who had to arrange everything perfectly, and not make His Majesty dissatisfied or make a fool of themselves in front of outsiders.
The hygiene of the Xiaoqi camp should be thoroughly cleaned, and the security work after two days is also very important, the entrance of the Xiaocai camp should be arranged with enough people to check the ticket, enter with the ticket, and open up a special channel for Chen Huang and some distinguished people, Tang Ning has been in the Ministry of Rites, has studied the etiquette system of Chen Guo, and is no longer familiar with this kind of face project.
In this competition, all the tickets were sold, and the few tickets that were rarely circulated on the black market in Beijing also increased several times, and countless people couldn't ask for them.
In previous years, the 16 Wei competition has never attracted so much attention, but this year is different, Tang Ning spent a lot of effort and money on publicity, and the 16 Wei competition has become a national sport.
After suffering many losses, everyone began to realize that they had been underestimating Zuo Xiaowei's strength, and they defeated all their opponents along the way, including many strong opponents who could compete for the first place in the big competition, and it was not due to luck.
Zuo Xiaowei's strength is recognized, which makes the odds of the last game not outrageous, of course, overall, more than half of the people still believe that the myth of Zuo Xiaowei will end in the hands of Zuo Yuwei.
Tang Ning walked around the venue for the last time, looked at General Chen Zhonglang sitting on a certain step, looking a little lost, walked over, and asked, "General Chen, what's wrong?" ”
General Chen Zhonglang raised his head, arched his hand to him embarrassedly, and said: "In a few days, I will call Lord Tang General Tang, and Chen will have to rely on General Tang a lot in the future......"
"General Chen, what are you talking about?" Tang Ning waved his hand and said, "I heard that the Right Yu Wei Zhonglang will be transferred to the north soon, and His Majesty intends to transfer General Chen to the temporary General of the Right Yu Wei Zhonglang......"
General Chen Zhonglang was stunned, immediately stood up, and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”
"The news from the palace should not be false." Tang Ning arched his hand to him and said, "Congratulations to General Chen in advance." ”
Chen Zhonglang will stand up and arch his hand: "Tongxi, Tongxi......"
In the sixteen guards, the promotion of senior generals is extremely difficult, generally as long as they are transferred to the front battlefield, as long as they accumulate enough military merits, they can be promoted to another level when they come back, and the right Yuwei Zhonglang will be transferred this time, and he is afraid that he will be appointed as a general in a certain guard, and he will be transferred to the past temporary, although it is a flat transfer, but how can Xiao Caiwei compare with Yulinwei, and stay in that position for more than ten years, maybe he also has the possibility of going further.
Chen Zhonglang swept away the gloom in his heart, arched his hand to Tang Ning, and said, "I'll go see those guys, I can only win and not lose in the last competition!" ”
……
Two days passed in a flash.
When the emperor is present, safety is always the first thing to consider, and on the day of the finals, except for a few people, most of the spectators need to enter the venue half an hour in advance.
The position of the emperor is naturally different, located in the center of the stands, the rostrum with the clearest vision, isolated from the stands on both sides, the space of the rostrum is not small, Chen Huang sits at the front, on the side are King Kang and King Duan, followed by King Huai and King Run, some of the important ministers of the court and the position of the envoys of other countries are further back, as for the rest of the people, it is only the outside.
There is only one competition today, and it will not last long, and there will be several singing and dancing programs before the competition begins.
Among them, half of the programs were brought by those small countries in the Western Regions.
This is the practice of previous years, the Western Regions and the grassland have different meanings to the Chen State, although the Su Shen people also have many tribes, but all the tribes are one nation, the Western Regions are different, they are all separate countries, between the various small countries, there is constant struggle and friction, it is impossible to unite to invade the Chen State, and they are not regarded as enemies by the Chen State.
The dance in the Western Regions was more open and enthusiastic than that in the Central Plains, with the navel and thighs exposed, Tang Ning raised his eyes and found that many courtiers couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
The treatment of women in the Western Regions and women of Chen Guo is different, if it is a woman of Chen Guo who is on the field at the moment, I am afraid that they will jump out immediately and scold them for being immoral.
After a dance, several beauties from the Western Regions fell to their knees, facing Emperor Chen, holding an object with both hands, and a messenger from the Western Regions stepped forward and muttered a few words.
Emperor Chen looked down and asked, "What did he say?" ”
An official of Honglu Temple stepped forward and said, "Back to Your Majesty, this is the envoy of the Black Purple Country, he said that this is a piece of peerless jade that they found in the Western Regions, and I would like to take this opportunity to give it to Your Majesty." ”
Emperor Chen nodded and said, "Submit it." ”
Immediately, someone stepped forward and presented it to Emperor Chen.
I saw that this jade was green and translucent, and it was not carved, and it was still a piece of jade.
Seeing this, King Duan immediately arched his hand and said: "Father, this jade is translucent and pure, and there is no flaw in the whole body, it is the best in jade, and my sons congratulate my father on getting this treasure!" ”
As soon as King Kang opened his mouth, what he wanted to say was preempted by King Duan, but he couldn't say more, so he could only close his mouth with a displeased face.
Emperor Chen was obviously very satisfied with this gift, looked down, and said, "It's rare that you have the heart, I accepted this gift." ”
He did not pause in his tone, and said: "Since you have given such a generous gift, I can't be stingy, so I will give you 100 catties of tea, 1,000 horses of high-grade silk, and 100 pieces of official kiln porcelain......
The officials of Honglu Temple translated Emperor Chen's words to a few people, but the envoy from the Western Regions did not get up, but bowed down again, and said a few words in a hurried tone.
Emperor Chen's gaze returned to his Honglu Temple official.
The official of Honglu Temple looked at the envoy from the Western Regions, and turned around and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the envoy of the Wuzi Kingdom said that they don't want a reward, but only ask Your Majesty to send troops to help them fight against the ...... of Xiaowan Kingdom."
The black purple envoy was chattering, and the officials of Honglu Temple explained, and everyone heard it clearly.
Xiao Wan is also a country in the Western Regions, and now its strength is stronger than that of the Black Purple Country, for more than ten years, it has annexed several small countries in the Western Regions, and the Black Purple Country is their next target.
However, this is obviously not in line with Chen's attitude towards the Western Regions, the two countries have always been non-aggression against each other, and Chen has no precedent for interfering in the state affairs of small countries in the Western Regions.
Moreover, the envoy of Xiao Wan sat among the envoys of the Western Regions, and Xiao Wan and Chen Guo have never had any friction, and Chen Guo has no reason to offend a powerful country in the Western Regions because of a piece of jade.
Emperor Chen didn't think about it for long, so he looked at them and said: "This is a family matter in the Western Regions, my Chen State is not good at interfering, today is the Sixteen Wei Dabi, these things will be discussed later." ”
Emperor Chen had already expressed his position, and the envoy of the Black Purple Country naturally had no choice but to retreat.
Tang Ning glanced at those envoys, fighting a war is to ask people for money, there is no benefit to things, how can the imperial court do it, unless Xiao Wan is going to unify the countries of the Western Regions and pose a huge threat to the Chen State, otherwise it is impossible to buy the emperor with just a piece of jade......
After the black purple envoy retreated, Wu Langzhong stepped forward and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the time for the competition has arrived......"
