Wuchang Wu Palace

No, the palace to be exact.

After establishing the Wu Dynasty and ascending the throne, Sun Quan, the emperor of Wu State, fasted for five days, set up the ceremony of nine guests, and solemnly summoned Chen Zhen, the guard of the Shu Han Dynasty, in the front hall.

In the front hall, Emperor Sun Quan of Great Wu wears a crown on his head, wears twelve coats of arms in court clothes, stands high on the throne, does not squint, revealing the solemn majesty of the Son of Heaven.

In the main hall, the crown prince Sun Deng knelt on the left side with a sword, and the ministers of the Eastern Wu Dynasty wore a crown and a belt, holding an ivory hairpin and sitting in the hall.

In the corridor of the hall and under the steps, the samurai wore armor and held halberds, and a white tassel on the helmet was windless and automatic, floating in the back of the samurai's head.

The gift of nine guests, the most solemn diplomatic etiquette in China, that is, there are nine officials who welcome and praise the official master of ceremonies, and extend the envoy to the temple.

"Xuanhan Guard Captain Chen Zhen goes to the palace!" The first master of ceremonies waved to Chen Zhen and asked for it.

Chen Zhen bowed in return, holding the scepter that symbolized the emperor, and walked up the stairs, the white yak tail on the scepter fluttering in the wind.

"Xuanhan Guard Captain Chen Zhen is here!" The second master of ceremonies saluted Chen Zhen and invited him solemnly.

Chen Zhen still bowed his body, and continued to move forward with a solemn face.

When an envoy is sent to a foreign country, the envoy represents the country and the monarch of the country. Every move, speech and demeanor should be dignified and dignified, in line with etiquette and without losing identity.

……………………

If it was nine times, in the end, Chen Zhen was personally led into the palace by the great Honglu Ge Department of Wu State to pay homage to the emperor of Wu State.

"Foreign Minister Chen Zhen pays a visit to His Majesty the Wu Dynasty!" Chen Zhen respectfully bowed to Sun Quan on the throne, and bowed again.

Sun Quan raised his hand and replied in a deep voice: "Han envoy, please get up!" ”

In the main hall, above the court, Sun Quan's voice of "Han envoy rises" made Chen Zhen's eyes wet, and infinite emotion rose in his heart.

Since the recreation of the Yan Han Dynasty by Liezu, the protracted dispute between the national dynasty and the Eastern Wu dynasty finally came to an end with the "Han envoy" of Sun Quan, the lord of Wu.

At that time, Liezu called the emperor in the capital of Cheng I, and after the defeat of Yiling, he wrote to Sun Quan several times, but Sun Quan did not reply to any letters. Finally, Emperor Zhaolie wrote a letter and asked: "Why didn't King Wu answer my book, and it was not appropriate to justify my name?"

Soochow nakedly did not recognize the dynasty as the Han dynasty!

Later, the prime minister sent Deng Zhi to be hired, and Sun Quan said: "...... I am afraid that the western state cannot be lonely and naked, and it will be used to suspect ......"

The last time he made Wu, Sun Quan said: "The east and the west, the envoys come and go, the crown looks at each other, the Shen League is good at the beginning, and the day is new." Dongzun should protect the holy Zuo, tell the fire to accept the charm, dissect the earth, the world responds, and everyone has their own home. At this time, too, if you seek out the thief with one heart, then you will not be destroyed! ”

With Xizhou and Xichao, they still don't recognize it.

Now, I finally waited for Wu Shizhong and Hu Zong to make an oath - "Since today's Han and Wu alliances, we will work together to fight against Wei thieves."

Through continuous diplomatic efforts, the state of Wu was accepted by the state of the state, and the Han Zuo of the dynasty was finally recognized by the state of Wu. This is the honor of Chen Zhen, Deng Zhi and a large number of diplomatic envoys!

(In fact, the name of the country created by Liu Bei has always been "Han", there is no Shu State, Shu Army, Zhuge Liang, Ma Dai and other people's tombstones are also "Han Prime Minister XX", "Han Pingbei General XX" started.) As for why it was spread to later generations as Shu Han and Shu Kingdom, it was because the Jin Dynasty inherited Cao Wei and took Cao Wei as the orthodoxy, so Shu Han was naturally not recognized, and later generations passed it down in this way. ）

At this time, the crown prince Sun Deng, who was sitting on the left, looked at this Xishu Jiuqing with great interest, it is said that Chen Zhen originally served as Shangshu Ling, and Xishu decided to send him as an envoy to celebrate his father's ascension to the throne before worshipping as a guard lieutenant, which shows that the guard lieutenant has no real power in Xishu and has been reduced to a higher title.

He was a little puzzled, his father had only sworn an oath with Chen Zhen a few days ago, why did he mobilize the crowd today and summon Chen Zhen with grand etiquette.

Sun Dengnian was only weak, and he couldn't guess Sun Quan's intentions, but Prime Minister Gu Yong understood the location of today's great effort.

Without him, His Majesty likes to be lively and showy, so even discussing with Chen Zhen about the abolition of the border garrison has become a foil.

After Chen Zhen and Sun Quan saw the salute, Sun Quan sat down, Chen Zhen came to the seat specially purchased for him under the imperial stairs and sat down, and saw an old minister with gray hair walking to the palace, saluting Sun Quan hastily, and playing: "The old minister Zhang Zhao greets Your Majesty!" The minister has something to do. ”

"Huh?" Sun Quan glared at Zhang Zhao, who suddenly walked out of the train, in the clouds, he should discuss with Chen Zhen about the disarmament of the border between the two countries, what did this old man jump out of at this time?

"Uh...... What's the matter with Zibu? ”

Zhang Zhao had no joy or sorrow on his face, and he held a hairpin and said in an extremely flat tone: "The minister is old, and his energy has often been low in recent years, and it is difficult to serve His Majesty. ”

"Beggar bones?" Sun Quan was only briefly stunned, and his face immediately turned iron-blue, and his fists were even clenched into fists.

The second child is not dead for the thief! This rebellious old guy is disgusting himself again!

Prime Minister Gu Yong was an old man, and at this moment he was also staring at Zhang Zhao, who asked the old man to resign, with a trace of sadness on his face.

He could see that Zhang Zhao really didn't rely on the old and sell the old this time, and he was messing around.

This old minister of Eastern Wu was cold and disheartened.

After His Majesty called the emperor to the throne, he posthumously honored his father, who had been dead for many years, as Emperor Wulie, but only respected Gongsun Ce, the ancestor who really laid the foundation of Eastern Wu, as the king of Changsha, and said: King Huan. And even the throne of the king of Changsha was not allowed to be inherited by Sun Shao (Sun Ce's son), and he was transferred to the title of Marquis of Wu.

Such a move made Gu Yong, who had known for many years that his lord was cold by nature, also secretly frightened, not to respect his brother as the emperor, not to crown his nephew as the king, the meaning of the lord is obvious - Sun Shao is not a prince, and he has no right to inherit the throne!

And this made the old minister Zhang Zhao who saw it disheartened.

"Zibu Zhen's humerus, the old minister of the country, can Qing really bear to abandon me?" Sun Quan said it well, but from his ugly face and gritted teeth, everyone could still see the anger in the emperor's heart at the moment.

Sun Quan was indeed very angry, if it weren't for the presence of outsiders, he would have been mad at this moment. As soon as he became emperor, Zhang Zhao, the former minister of the father, ran out and resigned, which was an unceremonious slap in the face! partial, still in front of the outsider Chen Zhen!

Zhang Zhao saluted like a wood, still in a flat tone: "The minister implores Your Majesty to fulfill it!" ”

Although he was very unhappy, Sun Quan didn't decide to let Chen Zhen watch more jokes, so let this old guy end it quickly.

So, Sun Quan pretended to be magnanimous and said: "Since Zibu insists on this, I can't force it." In this way, I changed Bai Qing to the auxiliary general Wu, under the three dukes, and sealed the Marquis of Lou and the ten thousand households! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Zhao said the word thank you, but he didn't thank him at all.

Sun Quan's voice was cold, "Qing, you can go home!" ”

Zhang Zhaomuran bowed, "The minister retired." ”

When Zhang Zhao withdrew from the front hall, Sun Quan's good mood was also ruined, and he regained his emotions and turned to Chen Zhen and said: "Wu and Han have formed an alliance, and I and your lord stand side by side, like a family. Qing had previously proposed that the border armies of Wu and Han should each be cut and used to go north to defeat the bandits. But I don't know where your country is talking about dismantling the border army? ”

Coming back to his senses from the incident where Zhang Zhao invited the old man just now, Chen Zhen said: "The place proposed by the foreign minister is in ...... Yiling! That is what your country is talking about! ”

"Yiling?" Sun Quan was startled and exhaled.

The ministers of Eastern Wu were also in an uproar, and they turned their heads one after another.

"Xiling (in the first year of Huangwu, Dongwu changed Yiling to Xiling)? How could it be Xiling? ”

"The west of the Yiling Kingdom is hanging the side gate, how can the army be dismantled!"

"In my opinion, there may be something strange in this."
