Chapter 327: Envoys of the Two Countries, II

After taking a sip of tea, Zhou Bolun put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Zhu Aiqing, today the Southwest Mission sincerely came to see Your Majesty, and later Zhu Aiqing and I will go to Qingxiang Palace for a banquet." ”

"The emperor is grateful, and the ministers are grateful." The old minister immediately bowed down and knelt down.

The emperor laughed and aroused the secretaries, Li Guodong ranked on the right, folded it out, and shouted happily: "My emperor Shengming has been rare in ancient times, and now the southwest envoy has come to create a grand event through the sky, and the emperor is ...... of heaven's grace" The words fell, kneeling and praised: "...... Since ancient times, the holy monarch ruled the world left and right, raised the king to the warrior to dominate, the king of the king to the good benevolent, the prosperity of the ceremony, the sea Yu Ningyi, the dragon brigade class, the rest of the soldiers, the beauty of the excellent tour, the appreciation of the Yan Yishi, the ancient rivers and mountains are solid, the southwest of the Song, kneeling Yi'an, my emperor is beyond the three sages, the ancient is unreachable. ”

After Li Guodong finished reading, the ministers all made a buzzing and smacking sound, pandering left and right, praising and praising the emperor's wisdom and benevolence, even if Yao Shunyu Tang was alive, it was difficult to reach.

Ah Zhen closed his eyes and stood in the ranks, without saying a word or speaking, he really worshiped King Li Mafart, he had never served anyone in his life, but for this old Li who came anytime and anywhere, all five bodies plus one stick were thrown to the ground.

Zhou Bolun listened to the great joy and waved his hand again and again: "Li Aiqing praised, praised." Glancing at Lin Azhen, who had his eyes closed, seeing this ruffian boy with a disdainful look on his face, his happiness suddenly disappeared, and his eyebrows frowned slightly and asked: "Lin Aiqing doesn't seem to agree very much." ”

The emperor smiled, and the ministers naturally looked at the prime minister on the right, saw him open his eyes, and said as an example: "Your Majesty, the ministers did not disagree, such a prosperous celebration, the ministers naturally empathized with the emperor, but the southwest envoy came for something, and the minister couldn't help but be a little worried when he thought about the matter of his envoy." ”

"Well, what Lin Aiqing said is extremely true." Zhou Bolun naturally knew what Tubo and Dali were here for, nodded and stopped listening to sycophants, and shouted loudly: "Propaganda Mission." ”

Fu Lu immediately raised his neck: "Your Majesty of the mission will see you ......"

One after another, two groups of people stepped into the main hall in no particular order, and Ah Zhen could tell at a glance which group was the Tibetan envoy and which group was his own courtiers. But I saw that the Tibetan envoy was dressed in cashmere animal skin, and the leader was a strong man with a dirty beard, who was tall and powerful, dressed in ceremonial clothes, covered with tiger skin, and wearing a big jeweled hat. The leader of the Dali envoy was a middle-aged man, also bearded, dressed in a red official robe, covered with snow, and one of the people behind him was Sakura.

Two groups of people stepped into the main hall, everyone in the hall looked at the envoy, the leader of Tubo took the lead in stepping forward, bowing ninety degrees to the golden chair with his hand on his chest, the tall man spoke Chinese stiff and awkward, and said loudly: "Gemo see His Royal Highness Xuanzong, may His Highness be blessed and live a thousand years, and be evergreen." When the words fell, the entourage behind him stepped forward with a large plate of Wan Nianqing, knelt on the ground and kowtowed loudly and shouted: "May Zhou Xuanzong be as young as evergreen and evergreen forever." ”

Zhou Bolun smiled brightly, looked at the Wan Nianqing in the big plate, raised his hand happily and smiled: "Thanks to Prince Gemo's noble words, I will be evergreen for ten thousand years, and I will tell the meaning of King Ali's gratitude, and King Ali must also be evergreen." ”

Prince Gemo thanked him in fear, and led the delegation to retreat, and the Dali envoy immediately stepped forward to see it, hugged his fists and bowed loudly: "The foreign minister sees Zhou Xuanzong, and the foreign minister greets Zhou Xuanzong on behalf of the princess, eternal peace, and your health is healthy!" ”

As soon as the Dali envoy stepped forward, Zhou Bolun seemed to be unintentional and deliberately looked at Lin Azhen, and raised his hand to the Dali envoy not too hotly, "The Dali envoy is exempt from courtesy, thank you on behalf of Princess Yuyan and say hello." ”

"Xie Zhou Zongxuan." The Dali envoy thanked each other, and immediately retreated without saying more.

Sakura saw the king as soon as she entered the temple gate, and when she saw that he was handsome and in good health, she was relieved, and followed the messenger a few steps back without saying a word, waiting quietly.

Gemo came to Zhou this time to have a mission, he saw that the envoys of Dali were so disrespectful, and he didn't even take the slightest salute when he came to see His Majesty, and Emperor Zhou's attitude towards Dali was also indifferent and indifferent, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward to stroke his chest and said: "Your Highness's majestic wind is blowing all over Yalu Zangbo, Xiao Wang is really fortunate to see Emperor Zhou today, but I am in Tubo The beautiful Namu Lake is covered by dark clouds, and I also ask the great Highness to blow the wind away the dark clouds, and the title of King Yali and the beautiful Yabu are the most respectful and grateful to His Highness." ”

Ah Zhen stood next to him and listened to the strange tone of this prince, and laughed secretly in his heart, what three lives are lucky, it is the three lives that are lucky, and he hasn't even learned the idiom, isn't it annoying to mention the matter of Tubo as soon as he comes?

When the ministers heard Ge Mo's request for help, they all looked at the emperor, and they muttered in their hearts that the prince of Tubo was too anxious, and he opened his mouth as soon as he came, didn't he show some disrespect? What doesn't show is something else?

Zhou Bolun knew what they were here for, one side was to ask for help, the other side was to persuade him to stop, although he knew, but he just came to mention it, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, looked at the Dali mission, and saw that he was standing silently, looking fearless. Looking at Prince Gemmo again, he looked anxious and worried, and he was a little embarrassed.

"Prince Gemmer excuses me." After observing the envoys of the two countries, Zhou Bolun smiled and raised his hand, "When I was young, I always wanted to go to Tanggula, but I had no choice but to be disturbed by the smoke of gunpowder for decades and imprisoned my pace. Now with Jin Liao for a while, in his lifetime, he will definitely get Qilin to see the great desert Gobi. ”

Gemo was surprised, pressed his palms tightly on his chest, and warmly invited: "Greeting Your Highness to the beautiful Tanggula, my Majesty is overjoyed." ”

Zhou Bolun smiled, pointed to the messenger of Dali, and said with a smile: "Dali is also good, I also want to go to see the mountains and rivers, I have long heard the beauty of Lijiang, the beauty of the south of the Yangtze River, ten flowing waters, evergreen leaves, beautiful scenery is unique in the world." ”

"The princess of the foreign minister welcomes Xuanzong's arrival." The envoy of Dali was not humble or humble, hugged his fists and bowed down and said: "Dali is washed by gunsmoke, fortunately there is a princess to recover her homeland, Li thief eats his own fruits, now the four seas are peaceful, the beauty of the Nanpan River is comparable to the galaxy, and the magnificent concubine of Lan Fury and Tianchi." Lanxi ten families flowing water, Xiushan is lush and evergreen, eight families are singing voices, nine songs are a chain, and the princess of the foreign minister invites Xuanzong to visit. ”

When the ministers heard these words, they were all surprised, what did the Dali envoy want to say? It sounds like a threat, but it's not quite like it. Is it really just to invite the emperor to Dali, and it's not like it.

Zhou Bolun knew that Dali was strong, so he hid his anger, glanced at Lin Azhen, saw him close his eyes again, and said in his heart: Dali is really bold, their king is now pinched in his palm, and he still dares to talk to him like this, and what is even more strange is that the messenger of Dali doesn't even look at the ruffian, what is going on?

"Lin Aiqing, what the Dali envoy said is really beautiful and extraordinary, I have heard that Lin Aiqing has been there, is it true or not?" Zhou Bolun was a little confused and asked openly.

Since seeing Sakura, Ah Zhen knew that the envoy didn't recognize him, so he smiled and walked out of the ranks, hugged his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, the ministers often hear that Dali is beautiful, but they have never been there, and it would be good if they could ride a horse to go shopping in their lifetime." ”

These words made Dali frown slightly, turned his eyes to look at this Xia Zhou courtier, and saw that he was wearing the prime minister's official uniform, and suddenly realized, and asked with a fist: "Could it be that Your Excellency is the heavenly machine god handed down by the world?" ”

"Well said, well said!" Ah Zhen hugged his fists in return, and waved his hand: "The gods really don't dare to be, the generals who are settled in Jianchang and Shicheng often mention Princess Yu Yan, and the ears of Xiao Xiang are calloused, if you can meet with Princess Yu Yan for a while in your lifetime, you will definitely be very happy, hahaha......"

The face of the Dali envoy changed slightly, but Prince Gemo was pleasantly surprised, and bowed to Ah Zhen anxiously: "Xiao Wang is used to your Excellency's name, and he has admired it for a long time. ”

"It's the three lives who are lucky, Prince Gemmo, you still have to learn your idioms." Ah Zhen laughed, clenched his fists and nodded, and no longer opened his mouth to retreat.

Zhou Bolun saw that the ruffian boy came out to teach Dali a lesson, and secretly scolded him for pretending. The full palace of civil and military is doubly powerful, Princess Dali Yuyan has a skill, but their right prime minister is not an ordinary person, Dali came to be so salty and not light, soldiers and horses are stationed in Jianchang and Shicheng, but they are not afraid to fight.

Ah Zhen is in the Zhou Temple, naturally he can't be rampant, he naturally has to protect the Emperor Zhou, and now he still takes the salary of the emperor's old man, and if he wants to be the king of Dali, he has to wait for him to return to China.

The envoy of Dali wanted to open a voice to refute, and suddenly saw the princess's personal maid with a piercing gaze, extremely respectful to the right prime minister of Xia Zhou, and was extremely suspicious in his heart, before leaving, the princess said to him that he must not lose his prestige to Xia Zhou, and that Emperor Zhou did not help Tubo It was Emperor Zhou's business, and this was just to let Zhou Xuanzong see Dali's heroic demeanor and turbulent atmosphere.

However, the princess let her personal servants go with him, and she must obey her instructions when she explains some things. I have long wondered how the maid can take care of the affairs of the court, but the princess is so cautious and does not dare to disobey. Now that the princess and maid are so respectful and cowardly, where do they dare to say anything, they hugged their fists at Zhou Xuanzong and retreated, and no longer spoke.

Seeing that Dali's arrogance had subsided, Zhou Bolun nodded with satisfaction, stood up and invited: "The envoys of the two countries have worked hard for days, and I have set up a banquet in the Qingshen Palace. ”

"Thank you, Your Highness Xuanzong." The envoys of the two countries responded in unison, and with the sound of Lu Fu Niang's voice in the Qingshen Palace, everyone followed Yiluan with a smile and a smile, and went to the Qingdian with a smile.

Ah Zhen followed Yiluan in front of him with his hand, and saw Prince Gemo looking back frequently, as if he wanted to talk, he laughed secretly in his heart, if this prince knew that he was the mysterious King of Dali, he would not know what his expression would be? The smile made it a habit in the end, followed the emperor into the celebration hall, and the banquet tables were lined one after another, the emperor took a seat, and everyone thanked each other again, and one by one also entered their own seats.

Zhou Bolun naturally sat on the top seat, looked at the people in the hall with a smile, stared at the envoys of the two countries left and right, and saluted the two countries: "The envoys of the two countries must not be restrained. And drink this bottle, I hope that the world will be peaceful from now on, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the country and the people will be safe. ”

The envoys of the two countries naturally picked up the bottle, held the cup in both hands and saluted, and thanked each other in unison: "His Royal Highness Cheng Xuanzong said in detail that the country will be prosperous from now on." ”

"Please!" Zhou Bolun smiled heartily, invited his hand, and the liquid entered his throat. Putting down the wine bottle, the palace maid poured it full, and then invited: "Zhu Aiqing also drinks this cup." ”

The three classes of civil and military have been waiting for a long time, and they hurriedly picked up the bottles, the words of praise were deafening, and they drank the wine together, and the banquet opened. The inside and outside of the temple are peaceful, and the wind and veil dance are auspicious, which is really called a national peace and health.
