It has been a long time since the young master received the order, and there are no guards to report, it seems that today is the three of them. The www.biquge.info of these three families is also a great face for the royal family, and Zhou Bian is very self-sufficient.

But this thing is really strange, why did the envoys of the three countries come together as if they had made an appointment. Originally, it was the political system of the Zhou Dynasty to meet the king, a very ordinary thing, but after the decline of the royal family, now it has become the glory of the royal family. But the so-called no profit is not early, Zhou Bian snorted coldly, I want to see what tricks they can play.

Suddenly, a "Wang'er" sounded behind him, Zhou Bian turned his head to see that it was the Queen Mother, and hurriedly saluted, "See the Queen Mother, how the Queen Mother also came to this city tower, the heavy snow has passed, this day is cold, don't catch a cold." ”

"Hehe, it was originally what the queen mother wanted to say to my prince, but why did she let you say it first. Don't worry, Wang'er, you have recaptured Luoyang, and my royal family has also been hidden by the Duke of Zhou, and the fox fur jacket worn by the queen mother was found from the warehouse, which is very warm. It's you, you're still only wearing a silk jacket, don't freeze to death. The Queen Mother seemed to be in a very good mood, and she stretched out her hands to show the leather jacket, which really looked graceful and luxurious, and the Queen Mother was much younger.

Seeing that the queen mother was in a happy mood, Zhou Bian was naturally happy in his heart, didn't he work hard to let the people around him live a happy life? "Don't worry, the baby is fine."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, the queen mother came when she heard that an envoy from the princes was coming. Is my king ready to summon him immediately? After the Queen Mother finished showing off her clothes, she got down to business.

Zhou Bian nodded. "I have already asked the Grand Master, the Young Master, and the Young Master to greet them."

The Queen Mother shook her head, "My royal family is in decline, so it's okay to let the important ministers go to meet it." But it is a great matter to receive the envoys of the princes, and it must be early in the morning. How about letting them stay in the Sifang Palace today, and seeing them again tomorrow? Although it was almost an order, the Queen Mother still spoke out to seek the opinion of Zhou Bian next year.

"It's up to the Queen Mother. It's just that this Sifang Palace is uninhabited all year round, and I'm afraid that it will be dilapidated and useless. "Zhou Bian of the Sifang Palace has also seen it, it is next to the palace, but there is no one in the place.

"Wang Er doesn't have to worry about this, as soon as the queen mother heard that a messenger was coming, she had already asked her to clean up, and it would be no problem to send some attendants over to deal with it for a few days. All the king needed was someone to guide the way outside the palace. ”

It turned out that the Queen Mother had already arranged it, Zhou Bian naturally nodded yes, and arranged for someone to go down to answer according to the Queen Mother's instructions. After that, I only heard the Queen Mother then say to herself, "Since the Marquis of Qi visited your royal brother, my royal family has not had such a major event for several years, and I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse." ”

Zhou Bian was moved when he heard this, "Don't worry, Queen Mother, my royal family will be strong." It's just that I don't know what happened when the Marquis of Qi came to visit my brother Wang, which made my brother Wang depressed and unhappy all the time? ”

"Well, you should know about this, and you will encounter such things in the future."

The Queen Mother sighed and recalled, "When the Marquis of Qi came to visit, it was originally a happy thing, and your brother Wang also felt very happy, so he met the Marquis of Qi in the Chongde Palace, but the Marquis of Qi was very arrogant, and he did not pay a great gift to the Son of Heaven, but just made a gesture, and there was no respect in the speech." That's all there is to it, Qi Hou also asked your brother Wang to reward the arrow of the Son of Heaven, as well as the banner of the Son of Heaven, and so on. These things were used by the Son of Heaven to reward the princes who had made great contributions in the past, such as the Duke of Qi Huan, the Duke of Wen of Jin, the Duke of Qin Mu, etc., why could he be so rewarded? ”

"But the situation of my royal family is even worse now than it was at the beginning, and your royal brother heard that if the Marquis of Qi said that if he was rewarded with these things, he would pay a large amount of food and weapons to the royal family, and the royal brother agreed for the sake of these things, but asked that these things could only be used for ceremonies, not for war. After the two sides said yes, the Marquis of Qi led these things to go first, and your brother Wang waited hard, but he didn't see any of the food and weapons for the tribute, but he heard that the Marquis of Qi was holding the banner of the Son of Heaven to attack the Lu country. Lu has always been friendly with the royal family, although the monarchy of Lu has fallen, and has always been in contact with the royal family, so when you heard Lu Guo's condemnation, your royal brother fell ill on the spot, and he didn't dare to forget it until he died. ”

"Then why doesn't Brother Wang find another country to judge? Isn't he the only one in the world who is strong? Zhou Bian was also extremely indignant when he heard this.

"At that time, there was no evidence, so your royal brother gave the things to the Marquis of Qi, and besides, your royal brother was afraid of the royal family's face and didn't want to laugh at the princes, so he had to endure it. Alas, the vassal states have been disrespectful to the royal family for hundreds of years, and when did my royal family swallow their anger. The Queen Mother sighed.

I really can't believe the empty check, my dead brother Wang is too easy to deceive, Zhou Bian couldn't help but think in his heart, but there was still a question, "Queen Mother, what is the arrow of the Son of Heaven, why has Wang Er never seen it in the palace?" ”

"It's just thicker than ordinary arrows, the shaft of the arrow is black, tied with a red rope, in fact, as long as the arrow rewarded by the Son of Heaven is the arrow of the Son of Heaven, this thing is not practical, just good-looking, so Wang Er has not paid attention. As for the banner of the Son of Heaven is the flag of the king, the banner used by the princes and uncles to fight against the disobedient princes on the orders of the Son of Heaven, and these things cannot be given away casually in the future. The Queen Mother sighed.

"Yes, Queen Mother, Wang Er remembers." Zhou Bian arched his hand. In fact, even if you don't want the Queen Mother to say it, Zhou Bian himself knows that the truth of handing over money with one hand and delivering goods with the other hand will be understood even by children in later generations, and perhaps only in this ancient pre-Qin period and simple folk customs, will anyone believe in verbal promises so much.

"Okay, the queen mother is tired, and she went back to the palace to rest. Don't worry too much, Wang'er, you are still just a child after all, and let the Taishi and them do something to do. After the Queen Mother touched Zhou Bian's head lovingly, she turned around and walked towards the palace.

Zhou Bian looked outside the palace gate, but saw that there was still no one coming, so he also waved his hand and returned to the palace with a group of attendants.

In the afternoon, the report was received, and the envoys of the three kingdoms had entered the city. I was curious, and there was nothing at hand, so Zhou Bian rushed to the main gate of the palace, looked at it, and sure enough, after a while, he saw the flag flying, and the first thing that caught his eye was a big official book, four flag-bearers holding flags in front, followed by two carriages, each carriage also had a flag, followed by twenty or thirty followers, and then behind was a royal carriage. The men and horses of the Qi Kingdom drove straight to the gate of the palace before turning around, and under the guidance of the palace guards, they walked towards the Sifang Palace.

This was followed by the envoys of the Wei State, which were also of a similar configuration. After the people of Wei settled down, they saw the people of Qin come into their eyes. The first is also four big flags, it seems that the vassal states are still doing the same, but when they came to the back, Zhou Bian was surprised, it turned out that the team of the Qin State was endless, and the one behind the carriage was actually mighty, and it took a long time to turn around from the end of the long street, and there were more than hundreds at a cursory glance, which formed a sharp contrast with the two countries of Qi and Wei. But after thinking about it again, Zhou Bian also understood, Hangu Pass is still in the hands of Wei State, and the envoy of Qin State is going to pass through Wei and Han, although the two countries are at war and do not kill the envoy, but be careful and never pass, but there are so many people, it is difficult to be a young master, and the job is far less relaxed than that of the Taishi and Young Master, and I don't know how to arrange it, thinking of this, Zhou Bian smiled.

After the envoys of the three kingdoms disappeared from sight, Zhou Bian turned around and went back to the palace, and returned to the palace to sit for a while, and the tea was not yet cold, so he saw that the Taishi and the other three came to report.

I only heard the Taishi report first, "The king, the envoys of the three kingdoms have been arranged to live in the three independent courtyards in the Sifang Palace, and there is currently Dr. Tian Yi Tian in the Sifang Palace. In addition, the Qin State team had a large number of people, and after obtaining the consent of the Qin State envoy, most of the people and horses were arranged to live in the nearest vacant barracks of the Sifang Palace, and they had also settled down. ”

Seeing that the king nodded slightly, the Taishi continued, "King, today the old minister will arrange a dinner party, the young master and the young master and Dr. Tian and other important ministers will accompany you, and tomorrow will hold a court meeting, and then they will visit my king, what does the old man's arrangement think the king thinks?" ”

Sure enough, they are all old comrades, and they are more mature in their consideration like the Queen Mother, so Zhou Bian naturally nodded yes. "Just follow the arrangement of the Taishi. It's just that who are the envoys of these three kingdoms, and can the Taishi be familiar with each other? ”

"Just as I was about to report to the king, these three countries still attach great importance to the royal family. The State of Qi sent the great doctor Tian Ping, who was accustomed to walking among the nations and sending envoys to the princes on behalf of the Marquis of Qi. Wei sent a son, Wei Ang, who is the same brother of Wei Hou, who is a bold person, has the style of an ancient gentleman, and is reused by Wei Hou, and can send this person to come, which is enough to reflect Wei Hou's respect for my king. ”

Respect, how can you see it? Wei Hou, that is, the later generations called Wei Hui Wang, this person's arrogance, Zhou Bian naturally knew it, so when he heard this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, I was afraid that Wei Hou knew best what he was thinking. However, sending such a character, I don't know what kind of ghost he had, but he had to attract the attention of the royal family.

I only heard the Taishi pause and continued, "Great King, but the most important person who came to Luoyang this time is the envoy of the Qin State, Gongzi Quliang, the concubine of the current Qin Marquis, and the prince of the Qin State. ”

It was actually Yingqu Liang, Zhou Bian immediately sat up straight when he heard this, "Taishi, is it really him?" He actually dared to come to Luoyang alone, wasn't he afraid of being arrested by Wei Hou's troops? Speaking of this, Zhou Bian suddenly remembered that he had wondered why the Qin State had brought hundreds of warrior retinues, it turned out that the prince was here, but this Yingqu Liang was too bold, you must know that at this time, the Wei State and the Qin State were hostile relations, and Hangu Pass was also in the hands of the Wei State, and I don't know how big a circle it bent over the mountain.

Before the Taishi could answer, the young master spoke, "King, the team of the Qin State was greeted by the old man, and the envoy is indeed the son of Yingqu Liang, and the Qin State has also sent another deputy envoy, who is also a young man, Jing Jian . The old man also asked him, originally from Han and Wei After the war, Qin Hou also sent someone to contact Han Hou, at present, the relationship between Qin and Han is good, this time the Qin team entered Luoyang from through the Korean border, and met my queen They also want to go to Zhengdu and meet South Korea. ”

It turned out that he was going to South Korea and passing through Luoyang, Zhou Bian couldn't help but feel angry and faintly disappointed, but it was worth looking forward to seeing Qin Xiaogong, who was famous for his talents in later generations, others don't know, but he knows very well that maybe this person will be his biggest opponent in the future, after all, identity determines the relationship, the Central Plains, within the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, there is no room for the real two powerhouses.

But this time, the envoys of the three kingdoms arrived at the same time, which was strange, and thinking of this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but ask the doubts in his heart.

It was still the Taishi who replied, "The king, the prince of Wei was taken aback when he heard that the envoy of the State of Qi was coming, and when he heard that the envoy of the State of Qin was coming, he just snorted, obviously he already knew it, and he thought that he had already heard that the envoy of the State of Qin was coming, and he deliberately pinched the day and came at the same time." But Qi Guo just happened to have a heavy snow in Heluo a few days ago, or they were all blocked by this heavy snow, so they arrived on the same day. ”

It turned out that Wei Guo heard that Qin was coming, so he hurriedly rushed over, not specifically came, hearing this Zhou Bian added disappointment in his heart, he thought that the royal family would return to Luoyang, and the princes would give some congratulations, I didn't want to come to the three families easily, but two of them did not come specifically, fortunately, there were also Qi envoys, I don't know why they came, Zhou Bian's heart couldn't help but be full of expectations, who doesn't like to be respected and touted?
