The high-ranking Duke of Yu actually invited the leader of the Qin people to his vassal kingdom as a guest?

What does this mean?

After Gong Yu left, Ying Qi asked Ying Kai suspiciously: "I don't know why this Gong Yu is so enthusiastic?" Besides, the Inuqiu crisis, we can't delay! ”

"Actually, we were able to successfully get the royal family to send troops this time, and at the same time, my father was successfully canonized as the doctor of Xitui, all thanks to the help of the palace of the Duke of Yu; Besides, we led the troops back to Inuqiu, and the country of Yu happened to stop by, let's go sit and listen to the teachings of the Duke of Yu, and thank the Duke of Yu for his mediation by the way, isn't it good? ”

Ying Kai is a young man in the end, and he is different from Ying Qi when he talks and acts.

He is very aware of the important role of Duke Yu in the Zhou royal family, don't look at the current Yin Jifu and Zhong Shanfu are very popular in the imperial court, they want the wind to be windy, they want to rain and rain, and they are very authoritative in speaking and doing things, but the power of Duke Yu must not be underestimated.

Because Gong Yu and Zhou Tianzi are a family, Lao Ji's family.

If you can catch the train of Duke Yu, it will be very helpful to the Qin people in the future.

As the saying goes: There are people in the court who are good officials, and there are people in the stove room who eat dry noodles. Wouldn't it be better if there were people in the court who were willing to help the Qin people speak?

After listening to Ying Kai's words, Ying Qi also felt that this was indeed the case, so he said: "What you said is also true, but we Qin people have been in Longxi, and we are unfamiliar with the etiquette of the Central Plains. ”

The Qin people were poor and afraid, and they were also despised by others.

But after all, that is in the past, and now Yingqi has been canonized by the imperial court as a doctor of Xitui, and he can be regarded as an official of the imperial court.

When Ying Kai heard this, he wanted to laugh at the moment, he originally thought that his father was afraid of delaying time, but he didn't think that he was afraid that he would be unfamiliar with etiquette and make people laugh, so he didn't dare to agree to Gong Yu's invitation!

It seems that people still have to see the world, otherwise even they will feel inferior.

"Since the adult is already a doctor in Xitui, and he is also an official of the imperial court, there is still a need for entertainment, and today the prince invited, we don't go, but we are rusty. As for whether the etiquette is thoughtful or not, I don't think Gong Yu will be surprised. After all, our Qin people are far away from the Central Plains, even if we don't do it well, I think Gong Yu can understand. Father, did you say no? ”

Zhao Zhou also followed and said: "Yingkai Gongzi is right, since the lord is already an official of the imperial court, there should still be entertainment, and it would be rude not to go." ”

Since everyone thinks it's time to go, Yingqi has the confidence to speak, "What you said is also right, then let's go to Yucheng to visit this Duke of Yu together." ”

It was less than 400 miles from Haojing to Yucheng, and at noon after three days of rapid marching, the 7,000 army led by Yingqi and Yingkai father and son finally came to the capital of Qiucheng.

Here, Duke Yu has already led all the ministers to wait here, seeing the arrival of Yingqi and others, Duke Yu stepped forward and said: "Doctor Xitui marched very quickly, the old man just arrived, you waited and followed suit, all the way to the journey, also tired, the meat has been stewed, the wine is also warm, please come in quickly." ”

At this time, it is already winter, although the winter in Guanzhong is not as cold as Longxi, but after all, it is winter, and when the afternoon comes, there are snowflakes fluttering one after another.

Seeing that Gong Yu was so polite, Ying Qi was naturally grateful, and arched his hand: "Since this is the case, then there is Gong Lao." ”

"Everyone, get off your horse quickly and take a seat with the old man." After that, Duke Yu said to the ministers beside him: "Arrange the royal army outside the city, and prepare more food for the soldiers, this western expedition is a major event for the royal family, and it must not be sloppy." ”

"No---, is ready." The minister next to him hurriedly replied.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the ministers of the royal family had dual identities, both as royal courtiers and as monarchs of their own country. For example, Duke Yu is a minister in the royal family, but he is the monarch in his own kingdom, and there is a court under him, and there are all kinds of civil and military ministers.

Now that everything has been arranged, Yingqi's father and son can naturally enter King Yu's palace for dinner with confidence.

The moment he walked into King Yu's palace, Yingkai's heart was excited and difficult to hide.

Because he knew that in this row of palaces, there was also a beautiful and luxurious Princess Ji Ruoxi.

It's just that now he has to hide the excitement in his heart.

Life is precious, but love is even more valuable.

Since the day he met Ji Ruoxi, he had identified this beautiful and noble princess.

Under the leadership of Duke Yu, Ying Qi, Ying Kai and Zhao Zhou came to the side hall, and Duke Yu's banquet was placed here.

"You may be seated." After Gong Yu sat down in the middle position, he said to Ying Qi and the others.

"No---" Yingqi replied.

The answer was yes, but I didn't know where I was supposed to sit.

There were multiple desks in front of him, and Yingqi didn't know how to sit in front of them.

You must know that when the Qin people were in Inuqiu, they basically sat on the ground, and there was no case or anything. But the Kingdom of Yu in the Central Plains is different. In the center of the main hall, there are many desks, and there is a cotton cushion behind each desk.

Yingqi didn't know where to sit at the moment, and she didn't know how to sit down.

"Your Excellency, please take a seat." Zhao Zhou saw Yingqi's uneasiness, pointed to the first case table on the right side of Gong Yu, and whispered to Yingqi.

"Oh---" Yingqi said softly, and hurriedly sat down in front of the first desk on the right.

For the Central Plains people to sit like this, Yingqi is also a little at a loss. When I was in Inumoka, everyone said to sit down, and that was to sit on the cushion with their buttocks. And the sitting style of the Central Plains is also different from that of the dog mound, people sit on their feet with their buttocks, which is actually today's kneeling.

Doubts, kneel doubts, it's better not to say it, lest others laugh at it.

After Ying Qi and the others sat down, Xiang Guo and other ministers of the Kingdom of Yu also sat down in front of the desk opposite.

After everyone sat down, Gong Yu raised the wine bottle and said to Yingqi and the others: "Welcome to the Qin people's distinguished guests to come to the country of Qiu, come and come, I will drink this bottle full." ”

Ying Qi glanced at Ying Kai and drank a bottle with Ying Kai.

After everyone finished drinking, Gong Yu said: "It is a blessing for the country of Yu to be able to invite the leader of the Qin people to come to the country of Yu today, but before Dr. Xitui returns to Inuqiu, the old man has a few words to say to you. ”

"Please speak."

"This Fengrong crusade against Inuqiu has indeed exceeded the expectations of the widow. After all, for so many years, although Feng Rong was strong, he did not dare to openly challenge the Central Plains royal family. I think that Feng Rong was able to take the initiative to attack the Inuqiu Qin people this time, it should be for a reason, right? Gong Yu asked.

What a tricky question!

is not only tricky but also vicious, and it poked into the hearts of the Qin people at once.

How should Yingqi answer this? I had to look at my son.

In the face of Gong Yu's questioning, Ying Kai's face was of course a little unbearable, and after thinking about it for a while, he said honestly: "Feng Rong's attack is indeed a dog hill, and the Qin people do have mistakes. ”

The Qin people also have mistakes?

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the interest of being the monarch and minister of the kingdom of Qiu.

"Oh, let's hear it." Yu Gong said with a smile on his face.
