The capital of the Zhou royal family, Hojing.

The enthronement ceremony of the new Son of Heaven is about to be held, and the princes of all countries who have received the invitation have come here, and for a while, the capital city has become a big stage for the princes of all countries to compete to show.

Chunguan Zongbo is also at his busiest these days.

"Uncle Zong, Jin Hou's car is here." I just arranged Song Gong's food and lodging, and this is not going to be promoted again.

"Oops, I've been really busy these days." While complaining, the great uncle hurried to the east gate to greet Jin Hou.

Before he could gain a firm foothold, Jin Hou's car came to the east gate of Hojing Mountain.

"Uncle Zong, how dare you bother to greet you personally!" Jin Hou got off the car and handed over to the big Zongbodao.

"Oh, Jin Hou is polite, you are a distinguished guest, the Son of Heaven specially instructed that Jin Hou must be invited to participate in his enthronement ceremony, such an important distinguished guest, how dare I not come to greet him." The two greeted each other politely.

"Okay, good, then there will be work." Since he is a noble person named by the Son of Heaven to participate in the enthronement ceremony, Jin Hou is not polite.

"Please --- inside"

Following in the footsteps of the great uncle, Jin Hou came to the post house specially arranged by Hojing for VIPs from all over the world.

At this moment, another subordinate came to report: "Uncle Zong, Cai Hou has arrived at the east gate." ”

The big uncle here has just arranged the food and accommodation of Jin Hou, and Cai Hou is here over there, and the big uncle is really a little busy, so he said to his subordinates: "Cai Hou's matter, please ask the little uncle to go to greet him, I still have a few words to say to Jin Hou here." ”

"Nuo ---" replied, and went out randomly to ask Xiao Zongbo to greet Cai Hou.

Then Uncle Dazong said to Jin Hou embarrassedly: "There are a lot of things in the past few days, if there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive Jin Hou!" ”

"The ascension of the Son of Heaven to the throne depends on the work of the great uncles, I can understand it, I can understand it." Of course, Jin Hou knew that these things still had to be worried about by the Great Sect Uncle and others, and the level of busyness was naturally incredible.

"Uncle Zong, the car that is waiting for Qi has already passed Bashui, and he will soon enter Haojing, and the officials on the side of the Bashui Bridge ask Uncle Zongbo to go to greet him." Before the uncle could say a few words, his subordinates came over to report again.

In order to do a good job in the court-meeting affairs of the princes, Chunguan Zongbo specially arranged officials to be responsible for reception in various places, such as arranging officials for special reception by the Bashui Bridge in the east of the city.

As soon as the princes who had come to see the Son of Heaven ascending the throne arrived, these receiving officials first invited the princes who had come from afar to sit down and drink some water and take a little rest. At the same time, he immediately sent someone to Hojing to report the situation to Dazongbo, and Dazongbo decided whether to greet him himself or arrange other officials to greet him according to the title and national strength of the visitor.

Cai Hou just now, the big uncle can arrange for the little uncle to greet him, but Qi Hou is different, the national strength is strong and the strength is extraordinary. It seems that I will have to go and meet it myself.

So the big uncle smiled embarrassedly and said to Jin Hou: "I originally planned to have a good chat with Jin Hou, you see that this Qi Hou is coming, and the little uncle is not here, it seems that I need to go to greet him in person, please forgive me for neglecting Jin Hou!" ”

"Uncle Zong's affairs are busy, and few people can understand, so it's not too late for us to talk later." Jin Hou got up and sent the great uncle out of the post house.

Uncle Dazong didn't dare to slack off, and quickly got up and walked out of the post house to the east gate to greet Qi Hou, you must know that Qi Hou's strength at this time is very unusual.

On the way, he met the monarch of Lu Guoguo, who came to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the Son of Heaven, and at this time he was losing his temper to the royal officials in charge of reception, "Will you royal uncles do things this week!" Just now, the widow saw Xiao Zongbo go to greet Cai Hou, why didn't he even have a decent official in front of the widow? also let the widow enter the city by himself, is my Lu country not as good as his Cai country? ”

The official of the Chunguan Mansion who was in charge of the reception was also helpless, just when Xiao Zongbo greeted Cai Hou and entered the post house, Lu Hou came at this time.

It is obviously wrong to let Lu Hou wait outside the city gate all the time, please greet the big and small uncles, and the people are not in front of him, so the impatient Lu Hou entered the city by himself.

Although he entered the city, Lu Hou lost his temper with those royal officials along the way.

It's really a little too much to take care of.

Now that this matter has been touched in front of him, the great uncle can't just walk away from others. So Uncle Dazong got out of the car and came to Lu Hou and said, "Oh, it turns out that Lu Hou is here, why are you in such a hurry to enter the city?" As soon as the official finished greeting Jin Hou, he hurried over to prepare to meet Lu Hou, but he didn't think that Lu Hou himself had entered the city. Please forgive me for how inconsiderate! ”

Look at how many people can talk when they are great uncles, originally he was unwilling to greet Lu Hou in person, but when he said this, it was Lu Hou's who was not.

It's not that I don't greet you, it's that you're running into the city yourself, can you blame me?

After all, Uncle Zong, the official of Chunguan, is an official in the royal family, and although Lu Hou is a prince all the way, he still can't be too presumptuous in front of the Beijing officials.

Since the Great Uncle Zong has talked about this, what else can Lu Hou say?

I had to bow my hand and say: "A small marquis of Lu State, how dare he bother the great uncle to greet him personally, the widow is also anxious to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the Son of Heaven, and he doesn't want to bother the lords, so he will enter the city by himself, and the great uncle will be surprised!" ”

In fact, the relationship between court officials and princes in the Western Zhou Dynasty was like the relationship between court officials and officials in various places in later generations.

Although you Lu Hou is the monarch in your country, in terms of the entire Zhou royal family, you Lu Hou is just a local official.

Since the great uncles of the family have spoken, Lu Hou has no choice but to give up. But after giving up, Lu Hou still has to be a little annoyed.

Seeing this, Uncle Dazong said to Lu Hou with a smile: "It seems that Lu Hou is still angry, don't be surprised, the old minister will personally send Lu Hou to the post house, and personally arrange Lu Hou's food and lodging?" ”

Seeing that the Great Sect Uncle attached so much importance to himself, Lu Hou, who was still a little angry, gladly accepted it, after all, the princes who could be personally arranged by the Great Sect Uncle were not ordinary people.

personally arranged Lu Hou's food and lodging and other things, and it was already late when he came out of the post house, so the big uncle didn't care about staying, and hurried to the east gate to meet Qi Hou.

Although Qi Hou is also a marquis, but the marquis also has a big size, and the country of Qi is a big country on the coast of the East China Sea, so he can't be despised it!

When the Great Uncle came to the east gate again, Qi Hou was already waiting for him there.

"Qi Hou forgives your sins, this old minister, am I jogging or is it too late to greet you, let Qi Hou wait for a long time." Seeing Qi Hou, Uncle Dazong hurriedly said.

"Uncle Zong's affairs are busy, and Xiao Hou should wait a little longer." After all, Qi Hou is the monarch of a big country, and he still has the demeanor he should have. Seeing that Uncle Zong was so polite, Qi Hou also said politely.

"If Qi Hou speaks like this, the old minister will feel even more ashamed." Uncle Zongzong said with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Zongzong is too polite, it's not too early, let's go into the city!" If you go down politely, Qi Hou will be hungry, so he said.

"Okay---, please come into town." The great uncle made a gesture of invitation and invited Qi Hou to enter the city together.
