Chapter 766: Congratulatory Gifts
On the fifth day of the seventh month of the first year of Longtai in Dachu, early in the morning, the ministers gathered outside the palace gate, and when the palace gate was opened, the civil and military officials were included in the palace, and entered the golden and brilliant Jinluan Palace.
In addition to the golden sword and the platform, the important ministers in the court all ascended the palace, and after Qi Ning entered the palace, he finally saw the West Gate of the Divine Waiting in the queue.
Ximen Wuxian is dressed in a black official robe and wears an official hat, he is the highest official of the Shenhou Mansion, and the Shenhou Mansion is a special yamen, so the style of his official robe is really quite different from that of other ministers, and he is as black as ink from top to bottom, which is very conspicuous among the ministers.
Qi Ning saw Ximen Wuxian coming, his heart was slightly relieved, and he secretly thought that Ximen Zhan Ying should have spent some effort last night.
It's just that Simon's face is really not good-looking.
Although this old man is old, because of his cultivation of martial arts, his spirit has always been very healthy, but at this moment, the old man's face is slightly pale, giving people the feeling that he didn't sleep well last night, but after all, Shen Hou is Shen Hou, even if his face is not good and he doesn't say a word, but there is a majesty that people dare not violate.
King Huainan put his hands together with an indifferent expression, while Ma Lan of Zhenguo Company was slightly hunched and stood at the forefront, although now many major events in the court are handled by him personally, and he is in a high position, but in this Jinluan Palace, this old prince still gives people a respectful impression, and does not have the momentum of the powerful minister.
However, Sima Changshen, who inherited the loyalty and righteousness, seemed to be having a good time this time, his face was full of red light, and the corners of his eyebrows were flying.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my big wedding is coming, and this morning is mainly to discuss the big wedding." Long Tai sat on the throne of the golden dragon and glanced at the ministers: "Yuan Laoshangshu, have all the matters of the big wedding been prepared?" โ
Yuan Laoshangshu of the Ministry of Rites came out of the list of ministers and said respectfully: "Back to the Holy Lord, all matters have been generally prepared, only the last thing can be prepared in two or three days." The ministries and yamen have also discussed and determined that the auspicious day for the wedding is set for July 18. โ
Long Tai bowed his head and said, "Very good." โ
"Your Majesty, on the 15th day of July, the Holy Driver went to the Imperial Mausoleum to worship, originally to arrange for the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism to pray together." Yuan Lao Shangshu said: "The Ministry of Rites has summoned two hundred Taoist leaders from Longhu Mountain, and invited the Lingxu Taoist of Longhu Mountain to preside over the Dao Law, and the Great Guangming Temple will also send two hundred monks to the imperial tomb at that time, but it is ......!" โ
"Just what?"
"It's just that many of the thirteen eminent monks of the Great Light Temple can't come." Yuan Lao Shangshu said: "The Great Bright Temple presides over the retreat of Master Kongzang, and has not yet left the customs, and the Great Bright Temple has informed that only the two masters of Jingwu and Jingyuan can come to protect the Dharma at that time. โ
Qi Ning heard Yuan Laoshangshu mention the Great Light Temple, and the corners of his eyes jumped slightly.
The previous time the King of the Twilight made a big fuss in the Great Light Temple, injuring several monks, although the Master of the Void finally took action to force the King of the Void to retreat, but the Master of the Void was also injured.
The King of Dusk Ye broke out of the prison, attacked and killed the Master of Pure Dust, and injured the host of the empty treasure and several senior monks, that was a life-and-death feud with the Great Bright Temple, Qi Ning did not know what the situation of the Great Bright Temple was after that, but heard Yuan Laoshangshu claim that the Master of the Empty Treasure was still in retreat, and knew that the Master of the Empty Treasure was probably in retreat to heal his wounds.
King Dusk's martial arts are domineering, and he is alone to make trouble in the Great Light Temple, which can be said to be out of the limelight, but he has a grudge with the Great Light Temple, he escaped from the Great Light Temple, and the Great Light Temple will naturally not stop there, Qi Ning guessed that the Great Light Temple will inevitably send people down the mountain to find the whereabouts of the King of the Twilight.
The last time Qi Ning saw the King of Dusk was in the Eastern Qi Ghost Forest, he was bent on finding Beigong Liancheng, but he happened to run into Beigong Liancheng that day, but under the hands of Beigong Liancheng, King Dusk Ye couldn't hold three moves at all.
Qi Ning knew that Beigong Liancheng was a great grandmaster whose martial arts had entered the transformation realm, and with the skills of King Dusk, it was impossible for Beigong Liancheng to be the opponent of Beigong Liancheng.
But the Dusk Ye King is majestic in the Great Light Temple, and even the Kongzang Master has not been able to keep the Dusk Ye King, which can also show the horror of the Dusk King's strength, although the Great Grandmaster is indeed a monster in martial arts, but with the Dusk King's martial arts, Qi Ning can hardly believe that he will be defeated so lightly.
After thinking about it carefully, he vaguely felt that the easy defeat of the King of Twilight was probably related to the injury of the King of Twilight.
The King of Dusk was imprisoned in the Great Bright Temple for more than ten years, although the attainments in martial arts have reached a higher level, but it is undeniable that his body and spirit have also suffered serious losses, after breaking the prison, he had a vicious fight in the Great Bright Temple, and both sides were injured.
And the Great Light Temple will inevitably know that the current situation of the King of Dusk is not good, if you want to capture the King of the Twilight Temple back, it is naturally before he fully recovers, once the time is long, and when the King of the Twilight gradually recovers, it will be even more difficult to catch this person.
Even if the King of Twilight was injured, the Great Light Temple would definitely not dare to take it lightly, but I was afraid that the monks of the Great Light Temple would not be able to participate in the emperor's wedding this time, and they would be sent out to search for the King of the Twilight, and the high monks of the Great Light Temple, except for the empty treasure host who could fight with the King of the Twilight, no one else could fight alone with the King of the Twilight, so since they went down the mountain, they naturally came out in groups.
Daguang is the head of Buddhism in the world, and there are temples all over the territory of Chu, which have naturally become the eyes and ears of Daguang Temple.
It's just that there are very few people who know about this hidden story, and Qi Ning also speculates with common sense that few Manchu officials can contact the Great Bright Temple, so naturally it is not clear, some people can't help but say: "Old Shangshu, the holy wedding, is the first priority of my Great Chu, and the Great Light is my Great Chu Royal Treasure Temple, sacrificing to Huangling, how can the empty Tibetan host of the Great Guangming Temple not appear?" โ
Yuan Laoshangshu coughed twice and said, "Master Kongzang retreats and cultivates the Fa, and the Ministry of Rites sent people up the mountain three times, and also asked Kongzang to preside over the customs, but the answers were all the same. The temple responded that after the Kuzo presiding officer came out, he would ask the saint for his sin. โ
Long Tai waved his hand and said, "Since Master Kongzang can't go down the mountain, he naturally has his difficulties, so don't be too forceful. โ
"The Emperor Shengming!" The ministers said in unison.
"You Aiqing also know that the prince of Dongqi personally came with a delegation to send his relatives, and he is full of sincerity." Longtai looked at King Huainan and said with a smile: "Uncle Huainan Wang, has the prince of Eastern Qi arrived?" โ
"Returning to the Holy Lord, the Prince of Dongqi is waiting outside the hall, waiting for the Holy Mission."
"In that case, let's announce that the prince of Dongqi will enter the palace." Long Tai said: "Don't let the guests who come from afar wait. โ
The deacon eunuch summoned the prince of Eastern Qi into the palace, and soon, he saw Duan Shao, the prince of Eastern Qi, who was dressed in splendid robes, leading several people into the palace.
Duan Shao has been in Beijing for many days, but not many civil and military officials have seen Duan Shao.
Since the establishment of the Great Chu State, it has always confronted the north and south of the Northern Han Dynasty, and naturally has never sent envoys to each other, although the Eastern Qi has had a slight deal with the Chu State, but a foreign envoy like Duan Shao has never done so, as soon as Duan Shao entered the palace, the civil and military officials all set their eyes on Duan Shao.
Duan Shao had an outstanding demeanor, elegant and noble, and when he entered the main hall, he bowed down and saluted Longtai: "Duan Shao, the prince of Qi State, see the lord of Chu State!" But they did not bow down and worship.
Many ministers frowned, thinking that the small country of Eastern Qi, let alone the crown prince, even if the monarch of Eastern Qi came, he should kneel down and worship.
Long Tai didn't seem to care, and said loudly: "Duan Shao, this time you sent your relatives here, the journey went smoothly, and I am very relieved." This time, I Dachu and Qi State concluded a marriage, and from then on, you and I have been friends for generations. โ
Duan Shao smiled and said, "My father sent Duan Shao here for the sake of the alliance between the two countries. He took a step forward and said: "When the lord ascended the throne, I couldn't come in time to congratulate him, and my father was very unhappy in his heart, so he specially ordered Duan Shao to send a congratulatory gift. Turning around, there was already a person behind him who came over with a box, Duan Shao took it with both hands, and walked to the Jinluan platform, where a deacon and eunuch had already come down and took the gift box from Duan Shao's hand.
At this time, Duan Shao was standing not far in front of Qi Ning, and when Qi Ning thought of this kid's idea of beating Ximen Zhan Ying, he felt a little disgusted in his heart, and said with a smile: "Prince, my Dachu has a vast land and rich products, in fact, it is good that you have this intention, and we have the gifts you give." โ
Qi Ning suddenly said this, everyone looked at him, Duan Shao entered the hall and did not worship, many courtiers were a little dissatisfied in their hearts, and they were all gloating when they heard Qi Ning's painting with ridicule.
Duan Shao was calm and calm, and said with a smile: "Jinyi Hou, the things that are dedicated to the Lord this time are not ordinary things, but I am afraid that the royal treasury of the Chu State may not have treasures." โ
All the ministers were stunned, thinking that this Shao's tone was really not small.
At this time, the deacon and eunuch had already sent the gift box to Long Tai, Long Tai ordered to open the box, and reached out to take out a thing from it, the color was white, the style was special, Qi Ning looked at it from a distance, and also felt strange, that thing was like a tooth.
Long Tai obviously hadn't seen this thing, and he was a little puzzled, Duan Shao had already arched his hand and said: "Lord, this is a shark tooth, which can be carved and used, and it will not be damaged for a hundred years." โ
"Shark teeth?"
Duan Shao said with a smile: "This is the white shark sharp tooth in the depths of the East China Sea, my Qi warriors have been waiting at sea for two months, and they have found the traces of this shark, and they have gone to the sea to cut the shark and take it down, which is extremely rare." โ
Qi Ning had already understood at this time that the so-called shark was actually a shark in later generations, that is, the congratulatory gift sent by Dongqi was a shark with sharp teeth.
"I see." Long Tai and the ministers also suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's rare, Duan Shao, I would like to express my gratitude to your father." โ
The king of Huainan had already asked, "Prince, is it difficult to capture this white shark?" โ
"Lord Wang, there are a lot of sharks in the sea, but this white shark is extremely rare." Duan Shao explained: "Ordinary people, don't say that they can't even find the shark. If you want to cut the shark, you need to be familiar with their temperament, know their infestment, and then wait for the opportunity, once it appears, you must also have extraordinary courage and ability, in order to be able to cut the shark and take the teeth, looking at the world, I am afraid that only the warriors of the Qi country can do it, and only a few people in the Qi country can do it. โ
"It's so hard." King Huainan bowed his head and said: "It's a pity that I can't see that shark slaying warrior, otherwise I can also see the warrior's demeanor." โnt
