Chapter 32: The reunion of four members of Qunucheng peeks at the national treasure in the chatting (I)
History is not only full of coincidences, but also countless accidents. In the story of the pre-Qin period in China, there were countless wars caused by treasures, and the most famous is probably Heshibi.
Since Bian and the occasional and Shibi, it has been hidden in the palace of the king of Chu for more than 300 years, and then passed into the hands of the prime minister of Chu. It's a pity that this and the family were lost in the hands of the prime minister, and Zhang Yi happened to be there at that time, so he was regarded as a treasure thief. Since then, it has not only changed the fate of Zhang Yizhi, but also changed the trend of the history of the Warring States Period.
Zhang Yi was angry, ran to the Qin State, and became the prime minister of the Qin State, and a large area of Hanzhong and Qianzhong in the Chu State was captured by the Qin State, and the main planner was Zhang Yi! If it weren't for the turmoil caused by this treasure, the Chu State might not have declined so quickly.
Later, this and Shibi were given to Zhao by Chu as a dowry gift. And King Qin Zhaoxiang is also quite fond of this thing, so in order to get this treasure, he has the idea of being willing to exchange fifteen cities. Later, there was this complete return to Zhao, with which there will be harmony, and the story of thousands of years of praise. And in the history of India, there is also such a diplomatic problem caused by treasures......
Since this Alona Shun sat on the top spot of this empire, he has been quite leisurely. In addition, these national events have been quite smooth. Although several countries adjacent to this kingdom of Holisha already knew that the king of the sun had drowned; But from the news that the spies found out, everything was calm and normal, so he was a little less worried......
Another day, Aronashun was in the study, looking through the documents left by the King of the Sun. As he was flipping through it, he saw a letter fall out, which was the letter presented by Staradi, the king of the kingdom of Mosura, to the king of the Ring Sun.
In the letter, it was mainly reported that Wang Xuance, the envoy of the Tang Dynasty, had reached the boundary of the Five Indians. And with the king along the way, his main purpose is to communicate peacefully, mutually beneficial trade, and at the same time to pay a visit to the king of the sun, and in some time will be in this city of women. And at the end of the letter, at the same time, a list of national gifts he gave to the Tang Kingdom was attached......
Looking at this heavy list of national gifts, holding this rather heavy letter. Alonashun had an indescribable feeling in his heart: If this Tang envoy really came to visit the king of the precepts, but the king of the precepts of the sun is dead, what will happen? Will the two countries be at loggerheads? If this envoy of the Tang Dynasty is here to visit this country, then the king is me, and it stands to reason that he should have come to have fellowship with me.
It's a pity that I didn't see the envoys of the Tang Kingdom, and I can't tell what the result will be for the time being. However, in his heart, there is such a balance ruler: as long as he is an envoy of the Tang Dynasty who knows how to count etiquette, I will naturally treat each other with courtesy. Of course, this is also the most insipid thought in Aronashun's heart.
But at this time, his princess Almita came to his study and said to him excitedly: "King, look at who the concubine has brought!" ”
As soon as her words fell, she heard a "father". Aronashun looked up sharply and saw that it was his two sons, Prad and Prame, who had arrived.
Although this Alona Shun was formerly the king of the kingdom of Virajuna, he was also the prime minister of the kingdom of Holisha, so he spent most of the year in this city of Qunu. For the sake of safety, he always placed these two children in his fiefdom of Bilo Shanna, and the family was less together and more separated throughout the year.
Today, both children are in their twenties. Not only is he heroic, but he is also dignified, thanks to the inheritance of Alonashun and Almita. After drowning the king of the ring, Naranashun took advantage of the opportunity of the great feudal lord to canonize his eldest son Pramo as the crown prince of the kingdom of Holisha, and his second son Prad as the king of the kingdom of Pirajuna. After settling everything, the two children came to the city of Qunu non-stop.
Seeing the arrival of the two children, this Alonashun was naturally quite happy. didn't care to put down the letter in his hand, so he stretched out his arms and hugged the two children, and the relationship between the family seemed to be very harmonious.
At this time, this Almita took the letter from her husband's hand, and she only wanted to put it on a few cases. I didn't want to take this letter, but when I glanced at it, it was terrible, because she didn't fancy the arrival of the Tang envoy. Instead, I saw this supreme treasure: a pink pearl the size of an egg!
Speaking of this pearl, it is also quite proven, it is said that this pearl is produced in the lion country (Sri Lanka) in the East. At that time, there was a very kind old fisherman on the seaside, who only caught enough fish for his own food every day, and never caught any more.
But one time, something went wrong. After he went out to sea, he didn't catch a single fish for a day, two days, or three days. When he thought that if he could not catch any more fish, he would starve to death. So at this juncture of crisis, he prayed to the heavens and prayed for the blessing of the gods, but he still did not gain the slightest.
On the fourth day, with a tired body, when he was discouraged and depressed, he went down to the net and salvaged a mermaid with a human face and a fish. Only to hear the mermaid speak: "If you let me go, I will not only give you enough food, but also a huge pearl!" ”
In fact, when the old fisherman saw this mermaid, he knew that it was a spiritual creature, and even if he starved to death, he could not eat this mermaid, and he already had the idea of letting her go. When he heard the mermaid plead like this, he didn't say a word, and let her go back to the sea.
Of course, the mermaid did not break her promise, and when she left, she not only gave the old fisherman enough food, but also left him a pink pearl the size of an egg.
Later, this pearl was passed on to five Indias. It is said that it is given by the gods, so that those who receive him will not only be rich, but also beautiful......
And this supreme treasure, Almita had long heard of in this palace of the King of Mosa. Although they also asked the courtiers to go to the country of Mosu many times to welcome them, and were willing to exchange gold for a thousand times the weight of this pearl, they still refused verbally.
What I never expected was that what I couldn't ask for with all my might would be so easy and generous for them to be given to the envoys of the Tang Kingdom. Therefore, he said to their father and son with great regret and envy: "Alas, I really didn't expect that this supreme pink pearl would be easily given to this Tang Kingdom by the king of the Moluo Kingdom, which is really infuriating!" ”
The two brothers didn't understand what their mother meant at first, but after taking the list of national gifts and looking it up, they learned from Almita what the pink pearl meant. So I heard this Prad take the lead and say: "Queen Mother, don't worry, this thing will be our ...... sooner or later."
What did he want to do? See the next section......
The editor said: A bloody case caused by a treasure is exactly what is clearly recorded in Zizhi Tongjian, as well as in the old and new Tang books: Alona plundered the tributes of all countries.
