At the beginning of October, on the third day before the wedding, there will be a grand ceremony, namely the sacrifice of Tunagong in Khotan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Originally, the indemnity and land cession had already been delivered, but everyone saw that the envoys of the Western Regions countries gathered in Gaochang, and they all asked to take the opportunity to hold an official ceremony to show their prestige and fame the countries and convince the people.

Wei Shuo thought about it for a moment, accepted everyone's suggestions, and sent invitations to the other envoys.

It is not enough for a country to keep a low profile, and occasionally a high profile can deter bad actors.

After receiving the invitation, the envoys had different thoughts, but they all agreed to go to the ceremony in person.

In the early morning of the next day, a ceremony was being held in the Assassin's Mansion to offer soil and pay tribute.

Due to the invitation of the envoys to watch the ceremony, coupled with the fact that all the civil and military forces in Shazhou were almost out of the nest, the whole scene became very lively.

When Song Miao accompanied Wei Shuo to appear, the entire hall was already crowded, and many people were talking about each other.

Suddenly, a drum sounded, and everyone suddenly fell silent and looked up.

But I saw Wei Shuo, who was dressed in armor, and walked into the hall like a dragon.

Wei Shuo walked to the main seat in the middle and stood still, glanced left and right at everyone a few times, and inadvertently saw a few old acquaintances.

Among them, Lu Fuzheng stared at Wei Shuo with jealousy, and he thought that he should be the one standing in that position.

"Yu Dadu Protector, Qiuzi, Khotan and other dozens of envoys from the Western Regions are already waiting outside the court!"

"Let them in."

Under the guidance of the salute singer, more than a dozen envoys from the Western Regions, led by Qiuzi and Khotan, respectfully entered the hall.

Wei Shuo glanced indifferently at the envoys in the dresses of various countries below.

All the envoys were flattering, bent over, and did not have the slightest dignity as envoys.

One by one, they stepped forward and read out the national letter in a humble tone, and beside each of them were several open boxes, which contained all kinds of rare treasures.

These chests were only a small part of the gifts brought by the envoys, all to curry favor with the newly rising overlord of the Western Regions.

When the envoys came to Gaochang, they brought a few carts of gifts.

In addition to being presented to Wei Shuo himself, even other important ministers and generals also had valuable gifts.

After the gifts, the envoys began to read the national letter one by one.

The content of the letter of state is almost the same, simply put, it is to pay tribute to Shazhou as a sign of friendship.

To put it bluntly, it means to worship the pier, and the tone is very humble, expressing the hope that they can coexist peacefully with Shazhou.

As long as Shazhou does not invade the Western Regions, the countries are willing to pay tribute to Wei Shuo, and pay tribute in the future.

With the passage of time, it finally came to the highlight of the day - Khotan and Qiuzi to pay tribute.

Of course, Bai Suni, the king of Qiuzi, was unwilling to accept such humiliation, but the situation was pressing, forcing him to send a blind date to cooperate with Shazhou to play this scene.

With a blank face, the Turtle Country took a step forward and came to the center of the hall.

As long as these two things are handed over to Wei Shuo, it symbolizes that half of the territory and population of Qiuzi Kingdom will be owned by Shazhou.

The prime minister endured the grief in his heart, first bowed to Wei Shuo, and handed over the map and household registration to Song Xuan next to him, and then handed it to Wei Shuo.

"Chen Bai Su said: Betraying the favor and asking for it, far from the labor of sweat and horses; Please beg for mercy and dare to abolish the gift of leading the sheep. ”

"Pray for a loan, bow down to Ling Jing, Chen Bai Su Ni is sincerely afraid, and pause."

"Stealing Gaochang as a neighbor will build a hundred years of goodness; Da Liang opened up the country, and even more wanted the joy of eternity. ”

"Before reading the age, Weichen received Zen because of the time, fearing the loss of the lonely city, and cut the three cities to ask for peace."

"If you can't escape from Yingcha, you will take your own attack, and you will still recover the baby city, won't you refuse to die?"

"Angry soldiers, climb the city of three miles; Woe to the ancestors, will be the worship of the seven temples. ”

"I have already done a great job, and I have taught the grace of the museum, I know the depth of my guilt, and I dare to have a reason to survive?"

"Fu Wei Dadu protects the life of the horse, Shao follows the grand plan, and the benevolence of not killing is tracked in Tang and Wu; The virtue of a good life is ultimately beautiful in Tang and Yu. ”

"I hope to patronize the grace of the great sage, so as to preserve the endless thread of the bad state, although I am fortunate to die."

"There are many gifts, and the Tao hinders cultivation, so don't call on the heavens; Pray sincerely, and think deeply about the sun. ”

"I would like to give the clan and the ministers of the country, the people of the country, the monks, the elderly, and the soldiers to go out to the suburbs, and look forward to the crime."

"Chen Bai Su Ni was sincerely afraid, and he paused."

After the Prime Minister of Qiuzi finished reading the book of dedicating the land and calling the ministers, Wei Shuo bowed slightly.

He casually handed over the map and household registration to Song Xuan, and stood on a high position with his hands behind his back.

After pacing back and forth for a few steps, his side said aloud to the envoys of the Quartet: "If you betray righteousness, heaven and earth will not tolerate it, who will help?" If the alliance is defeated, people and gods are angry, and it is not selfish. ”

From the beginning, Bai Su Ni's father begged for good, I treated him with sincerity, and he deceived him. ”

"First to break the contract, and then to lead troops to besiege Gaochang. He was punished for self-deed, and he was guilty of committing a crime by ignoring a book. Unbridled codification, still tolerant. ”

"So far, the evil has been unheard, and the master has been punished, and I still hear that his son has inherited the throne."

"Shuowang changed the map, how to follow the overturned car of the father's earthquake, and warn the other from the disaster. but false vassals, not atonement for the sins of the father; It's hard to be self-employed, and I'll cut it again. ”

"The generals are more angry, and the warriors are more courageous."

"Xi Jun commits the five sins of disapproval, and it is appropriate to mourn; Jin Shi has the name of three non-retribution, and it is still not enough. ”

The grand ceremony of paying tribute to the ministers was finally over, but she left an indelible impression on everyone.

The old bureaucrats of Gaochang headed by Yang Han couldn't help but cry when they saw the envoys from the Western Regions surrendering at their feet.

Three years, Wei Shuo came to Gaochang for only three years, which completely changed the fate of Gaochang.

In the past, the weak Gaochang who struggled to survive among the various forces has now become a powerful force dominating the Western Regions.

Lu Guang, who was once far away in Guzang, only sneezed, and Gao Chang was very nervous.

In order to survive, he had to send a cart of goods and jewelry to Guzang for peace.

Now this kind of life is finally gone, and from now on, Gaochang is no longer afraid of external threats, and can finally straighten his waist and stand in the world.

For Gaochang's strength, the two envoys of Western Qin and Tuyuhun were the most happy, and they both wanted to form an alliance with Gaochang out of different interests.

Western Qin has always faced the threat from Houliang, and this time the envoy sent by the beggar to return was to form an alliance with Gaochang in the name of celebration to jointly deal with Houliang.

At the banquet, I'm afraid that only the two brothers Lu Su and Lu Fu are sitting on pins and needles, and in the face of the increasingly powerful Wei Shuo, how can they still have the heart to drink and chat?

I can't wait to fly back to Guzang with my wings and tell Lu Guang everything that happened in Gaochang.

As soon as the ceremony was over, Lu Su and Lu Fu didn't care about greeting everyone, and hurriedly returned to their residences, wanting to discuss countermeasures with their staff.

"Chengming, I feel more and more that Wei Shuo is not easy to deal with."

"Now that he has subdued the Western Regions, and half of Hexi is in hand, it can be said that the overall strength is on par with Gu Zang, or it has a slight victory."

"If I let him continue to recuperate, I'm afraid it will become a problem for my henchmen in the future."

Looking at the worried Lu Su, Suo Chengming secretly rolled his eyes, and said: "Lao Tzu reminded you a long time ago, but as a result, you patronized and fought with your brother for power and profit, completely ignoring Wei Shuo's already bigger, and now he is in a hurry." ”

However, Suo Cheng knew that now was not the time to complain, and it was a serious matter to take revenge with the help of the Lu family.

Moreover, Suo Chengming thought that he had seized the famous family in Hexi, but he just needed to persuade the Lu family to cooperate.

"Duke Taiyuan, my subordinates think that although Wei Shuo is difficult to control, he is not invulnerable."

Lu Su liked to hear this the most, and he pulled Suo Chengming and asked urgently: "Oh? I don't know what Chengming's countermeasures are? ”

"Wei Shuo's strength lies in the fact that he has quickly accumulated strong strength by plundering the family."

"But precisely because of this, Wei Shuo's foundation is not stable."

"It is only because of its military strength that the discontent of all parties is suppressed."

"However, as long as you see the opportunity, the internal and external forces will definitely be able to eradicate him."

"Internal and external alliances?"

"Yes, inside, contacting the frustrated family is the internal response; Outside, heavy lifters besieged the city. ”

"Good strategy, contact the family and leave it to Chengming to handle, as for sending troops...... It is up to him to convince his father. ”

"If this is done, there will be a great reward."

"Duke Taiyuan, don't reward you in the future, just let someone slash Wei Shuo afterwards to avenge your family."
