Chapter 457: The Gift of the Nine Guests
Three days later, when Lin Yuyan heard that the string was passed from Xingyang City, it was the first batch of grain to return to Daqin, and it was also when he arrived in Wei to set up a nine-bin ceremony in the Daliang Palace to receive the Daqin delegation.
Nine guests is the most solemn etiquette in the Wei State's war, there are nine officials who welcome and praise the ceremony, and extend the hall to the temple.
It can be seen that the importance of the Marquis of Wei to the Qin State is that it is inevitable that the Great Qin defeated the Chu State in the Battle of Yingdu, but in the final analysis, it is because the Great Qin at this time is one of the roles that the Wei State cannot ignore.
The two countries of Qi and Chu lost their status as the overlords of the Central Plains because of their own problems, but the hundred-legged insect died without stiffness, and the wrestling between Qi and Chu still made Wei have some scruples, so under the auspices of Zhai Huang, Wei once united with the Three Jin Dynasty to deal with Qi and Chu.
Because Wei directly controlled the middle reaches of the Yellow River, as if grasping the lifeblood of Qi and Chu, Qi and Chu sometimes could not be concentric, so now Wei has maintained its hegemony for decades, but it is like setting Wei on the fire, although it has created the prosperity of Wei, but it has inevitably made Wei become the target of public criticism.
Moreover, Wei is the land of four wars, and the territory of Wei is also distributed along a long and narrow terrain along the great river from west to east.
It is precisely because of this that Wei is the first in the world to set the policy of cutting diplomatic relations as a national policy, and the three Jin Dynasty are in the same vein, and they are obedient to Wei, so Wei has been pulling together, and Qi and Chu are looking at the change of timing, sometimes pro-Qi, sometimes allied with Chu.
However, at this time, the Wei State, because of the changes in the land of Henan, finally saw the newly rising Qin State in its eyes, so as to divide some of the trust in Korea into Qin State, and wanted to use this to balance South Korea and maintain the hegemony of Wei.
The prosperity of the Great Liang Palace is the lifelong strength of the former Wei Xiangguo Bai Gui, which is also the first person in the history of the Wei State and even the entire Central Plains to win the general trend of the Central Plains because he is good at business.
The prosperity of the Great Liang Palace is not comparable to the roughness of the palace of the Qin State, revealing the gorgeous beauty of the Central Plains culture everywhere, the Qionglou Yuyu, the high-rise buildings, the lanterns are colorful, the red and the green are hung, and the national strength of the Wei State has been the most extreme rendering in the Liang Palace, which covers an area of dozens of miles.
The Marquis of Wei sat on the throne, and the Chuluo Water Ding presented by the Qin State was also placed outside the palace specially used to entertain the envoys of the world.
The nine scholars above the court of Wei State greeted the envoys of the Qin State into the Great Liang Palace one by one.
Led by two people, both dressed in Gongzi costumes, Wei Hou has already heard Zhai Huang explain, it was more than ten years ago, Qin sent a proton to Great Wei, at that time Qin State has not been able to see in the eyes of Great Wei, so in recent years, there has been some neglect.
Wei Hou also patted his head, and seemed to remember the Great Liang Alliance of Great Wei back then, and the Qin State did send people to participate in the alliance.
Wei Hou also said: "After entertaining the Qin State delegation this time, you should settle this Qin State proton well!" ”
Zhai Huang nodded and said, "This is natural, Yiying resettlement has been ordered a few days ago!" ”
Outside the hall, in the midst of the communication, Lin Yuyan and the fourth brother Yingcheng also boarded the Daliang Palace, and the scholar who was responsible for entertaining foreign countries in Wei was named Li Ke, and he was also the court scholar who Wei Hou relied on, and his teacher was the ancestor of the Hexi School of Wei State.
Li Ke was more familiar with Confucian etiquette, so it was easy to arrange these things, and after the ceremony, Wei Hou also personally placed Lin Yuyan, Yingcheng and other Qin envoys to sit down.
The Qin State advocates Xuan Black, which is also because the old Qin people often fight against the natural enemy Rong Di, even if it is Lin Yuyan, it is also because in recent years when he led the army to the battle, Lin Yuyan's complexion is not white, but the Yingcheng around him looks like he is pure in the eyes of others.
Wei Hou is still very accurate in knowing people, Zhai Huang had already said it in advance, so Wei Hou also looked at Lin Yuyan for a while, and said with a little praise: "Qin Gongziyan's demeanor is more similar to Guhu'er!" ”
Wei Hou said that the tiger is also a famous son of Wei State, named Wei Ji, can be able to write and martial arts, under the promise of Wei Hou, in the city of Liang opened a house to build teeth, attracted a lot of guests, if it is not this son is not the eldest born, but the youngest son of Wei Hou, with Wei Hou's love for it, it must be to let him inherit the great cause of Wei.
Lin Yuyan can get such a metaphor as Wei Hou, how could it be that Lin Yuyan's own record is too dazzling, too much news of Qin State has been placed in front of Wei State's table recently, and those Wei State Shiqing have also removed the dross and passed useful news to Wei Hou.
Wei Hou also knew that in addition to the state minister, the Qin State belonged to this Qin prince who was the most capable of fighting, and the Shangzhu State Jingshe of the Chu State was the henchman of the Wei State, even if the Wei State was as brave as a trickle, Leyang and the like, they were also afraid of this person.
However, this Qin Gongzi, who was less than twenty years old, still broke through the dangerous river and defeated the Chu State under the situation that the Chu State occupied a favorable geographical position, and just by virtue of this, Wei Hou took a look at him, and even took out the proudest youngest son as a reference.
Lin Yuyan was modest, after the banquet, the guests and hosts were happy, but they knew that the main event was after the banquet, so the drinking was also up to the point, and sure enough, after the banquet, the treacherous and cunning Wei Hou and those Wei Shiqing just mentioned that Qin was admonishing Wei Hou and promoting Wei Guo's literary and martial arts.
So much so that Lin Yuyan had to stand up and mention the annexation of Zheng by South Korea, and did not ask Wei what he thought about this matter, but directly asked Wei, as the overlord of the Central Plains, how could he sit back and watch South Korea and Zheng's move, and should gather allies and raise troops to attack South Korea.
Wei does have the meaning of the Qin State to balance South Korea, but it does not mean that Wei has given up South Korea as an ally, in fact, the relationship between the three Jin Dynasty is very deep, and the three families of Han, Zhao and Wei have always been allies in the Jin court decades ago.
It is precisely because of this that Wei Xiangguo Zhai Huang also stood up and said: "Zheng Guo is a chaotic government of Qimu, the monarch was killed, and Han, as a neighbor, was only sent troops to assist in response to Zheng Guojun's edict, how can you use such a rhetoric as annexing Zheng Di?" ……”
