The closer you get to Jincheng, the more you can feel the extraordinaryness of this country, the roads are spacious, the shops on the official roads are numerous, less than ten miles away, there are dozens of inns alone!

Of course, on the way, I also saw the kings who came from various countries to meet the alliance, all of them were escorted by special personal soldiers, and the scale was not small.

In just one day, Yang Mu saw four alliance teams along the way, and as soon as he inquired along the way, the kings of more than 20 countries had already arrived first, and his own group was too late.

This couldn't help but make him feel a lot of emotion.

You must know that the entire Dali Dynasty is now coexisting with a total of fifty-six vassal states, and the Jin State will meet this time, which is equivalent to directly bringing together half of the kings of the Dali Dynasty!

Cangguo, when can there be such a grand occasion?

Of course, Yang Mu also heard some rumors, which was nothing more than saying that there were not many countries that really interested in participating in the Jin Alliance, especially the countries around the Jin Kingdom, most of them were forced by pressure and worried that the Jin State would retaliate afterwards, so they gave face and hurriedly came to the alliance.

For example, Mangguo and Song, when the princes of the Jin State were in civil strife, they had been eye-to-eye with the Wei State, and it was obvious that they had no intention of respecting the overlord.

Yang Mu didn't care about this, and after arriving on the outskirts of the city, he sent someone to the Honglu Temple in the Jin Kingdom to submit the credentials.

Honglu Temple, is the country's diplomatic agency, in charge of the countries of tribute, feasts, giving, greeting, in the Cangguo letter handed over a while, I saw a person in official uniform, with a few officials to come to visit.

Seeing this person's outfit, Yang Mu was slightly displeased.

Because, according to his understanding, the level of the official position of the Jin State can be distinguished by the color of the official uniform and the drape on the official hat, this official is dressed in a light-colored official uniform, and there are only two ordinary drape bands on the official hat, which is obviously not an important role at all in the Dahonglu Temple.

Although during this time, there were many kings from various countries who came to the alliance, even if the high-level leaders of Honglu Temple couldn't get away, there was no need to arrange for an official to come over, right?

Although Cangguo is small, it is not a country that can be sent at will.

If it is not taken seriously at the beginning, then this confrontation of the alliance will not have a good result, and it may be deliberately bullied and bitten as fat.

"Come on, drive back to China." Yang Mu said lightly.

Return?

As soon as these words came out, not only Ji Ling'er and Miao Xi next to them were surprised, but even Shen An and Hu Xiao and others outside Long Yuan were also shocked.

The whole team marched for half a month, wasn't it for the alliance?

It's already outside Jincheng, but you have to turn around and go back?

Of course, no one said the doubt, His Majesty the Emperor has already said so, naturally it makes sense, the pro-guard army just needs to obey the order.

As a result, the thousand-member guards of Cangguo turned their horses' heads, turned their flags, and returned along the official road.

On the underside of the dragon, Zhang Zhan, an official of Honglu Temple, panicked.

Originally, he thought that Yang Mu was just talking, and he didn't care much, but when he saw that Cangguo's team had no intention of stopping, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The princes who came to the alliance were divided into two kinds, one was the hardcore junior brother of the Jin State, and the other was a neutral country.

The former, naturally, is to be courteous and thorough, which is the defender of the hegemony of the Jin State.

The latter is the main object of wooing, and the etiquette must be more thoughtful, at least not to push it to Chu and Wei.

It's just that Cangguo is the first time to meet the alliance, and the country is also small, so the Great Honglu Temple did not prepare in advance at all, until the team of Cangguo entered the territory, then remembered such a new vassal state, and hurriedly arranged officials to greet it.

Although the Jin State is big, you can not put the Cangguo in your eyes, but no matter how small the mosquito is, it is also meat, whether it is to win over or exclude it is a matter of the upper class, the duty of the Great Honglu Temple is to entertain them, if it reaches the ears of the Emperor of the Jin State at that time, saying that because of the negligence of the Great Honglu Temple, the Cangguo who has rushed to the alliance will be angry and gone, then the relevant personnel will suffer!

Anyone with a little brain can figure out that the main purpose of this Jin League is to redefine its hegemony after the infighting, and how much face the major vassal states have is directly related to the success or failure of the alliance.

So, Zhang Zhan, who was the main bookkeeper of the Great Honglu Temple, panicked, and hurriedly asked a small official next to him to hurry up to inform Lord Shaoqing, and shouted at the same time: "Your Majesty, slow down!" Wait! ”

Zhang Zhan followed behind the chariot and shouted all the way, which immediately attracted the attention of many people.

After following for a distance, Yang Mu asked people to stop, and said lightly: "The Jin Kingdom is a big country, since I don't care about me and other small countries to come, I have to go back the same way, and the adults follow me all the way, do you have to go to the Cangguo with me?" ”

"Your Majesty forgive your sins! Please forgive the villain, it is not that my Great Honglu Temple has neglected Your Majesty, and the kings of all countries have arrived, and the officials have been understaffed as early as yesterday, and please forgive Your Majesty, and later my Honglu Temple Shaoqing will make amends to Your Majesty! ”

Yang Mu frowned, although the officials of this Honglu Temple were rude, they really couldn't find fault with the wording, which meant that in the order of first come, first served, the senior officials had already been dispatched...... Who let Cangguo come so late?

Of course, there must be water in these words, a hegemon of the Jin Kingdom, who has been preparing for the alliance for several months, it is impossible not to arrange enough manpower, but he just doesn't want to waste manpower on Cangguo.

Seeing that Yang Mu was silent, Zhang Zhan secretly complained in his heart, secretly scolding those officials who thought highly of themselves, today's task to meet Cangguo was a mess, and when the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple came over, he would definitely be blamed, and if it was not good, his career would be ruined.

Zhang Zhan secretly swore that it would be better to be mediocre in the future, those who were at the same level as himself, who ate and drank lazily and lived a comfortable life, and those who could do things were always hard work.

Complaining is complaining, the trouble in front of him still has to be solved, so he tidied up his crown and hat, and said: "Your Majesty is angry, my Jin monarchs and ministers sweep the couch and welcome the kings of all countries, on this grand occasion, if there is a number of courtesies, please also ask your country to include more, please move to the Honglu Temple in the city to rest for a while, and when you settle down, my Jin monarchs and ministers will come to apologize for their crimes." ”

As he was talking, a car came speeding in the distance, it was the Shaoqing of Dahonglu Temple, who stopped next to the Cangguo envoy, and hurriedly got out of the car and apologized.

"Who are you?" Yang Mu asked.

"The foreign minister is the Shaoqing Hu Qi of the Great Honglu Temple, and he was dealing with state affairs just now, and he couldn't rush there, so he sent the following master book to come, and asked His Majesty to forgive him."

"You Jin Kingdom, how many Shaoqing are there?"

"I have one Zhengqing, five Shaoqing, and several main books in my Dahonglu Temple." Hu Qi said as he spoke: "I heard that Your Majesty is outside the city, so the foreign minister has already sent someone to tidy up a large courtyard in the Honglu Temple Pavilion and come to greet him." ”

Hearing this, Yang Mu's heart was clear.

As the overlord, the Jin State can be said to be the most developed country in terms of diplomacy, and the Great Honglu Temple occupies a very important position in the country, which is equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Cang State, and some places also have some functions and powers of the Ministry of Rites, so in the Jin State, Zhengqing is also called the Foreign Minister.

Shaoqing, his status in the Jin Dynasty is equivalent to the appearance of the twelve servants of the Cangguo, neither high nor low, and he is barely qualified to participate in the Jin Dynasty.

Since the words have come to this, Yang Mu is not good to leave again, today's matter will definitely be played in the ears of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and it will also attract enough attention, so the purpose can be regarded as achieved, there is no need to pursue it with a courtier, so he ordered Long Yuan to turn around and enter the city.
