Chapter 948: Qunu City
Qunu City, the capital of the North Tianzhu Kingdom, is close in front of you, ten steps away.
According to legend, the Northern Tengupta Dynasty was originally set to be in the city of Kusumabura, and successive kings built their palaces in the city of Kusumabura.
Later, when the sixth king of Northern Tianzhu, King Xizeng, toured various cities across the country, he met a Tianzhu girl in a city near the Ganges River, but this Tianzhu girl was not the face of the country's natural fragrance, sinking fish and falling geese, on the contrary, this Tianzhu girl was born with a bent waist.
But this slender Tianzhu lady is very smart and wise, and when King Xizeng is with her, he often solves all difficulties and problems.
After a long time, although the girl was not good-looking, the king of Xizeng fell in love with her intelligence and wisdom, and finally the king of Xizeng married the girl of Tianzhu in this city near the Ganges River, and named her a concubine.
Later, after the Tianzhu concubine with a bent waist returned to the national capital of Kusu Mo Buluo City, she was even more favored by King Xizeng because she was pregnant with the heir of King Xizeng in her womb.
But this concubine was a very wise woman, and she knew that because of her arrival, she had not only taken away the favor that King Kizeng had originally given to the queen and the other concubines, but they must have been jealous and resentful of her, and these people would certainly not tolerate her and her unborn child remaining in the palace.
Therefore, on the grounds of homesickness, she begged King Xizeng to let her go home to save her relatives, that is, the city where the two of them knew each other and fell in love.
King Xizeng naturally agreed, and sent a large number of palace guards to escort her back to her hometown.
Pregnant in October, this clever concubine gave birth to her and King Kizeng's children in the city of her hometown, successfully avoiding the premeditated trapping of the queen and the other concubines.
In the end, this prince inherited the mantle of King Xizeng and became the seventh king of Northern Tianzhu - King of the Ring Sun.
In order to commemorate his wise mother, and also to commemorate the fact that his father and mother knew each other and fell in love with each other in the city on the edge of the Ganges, he moved the capital to the city where he was born after succeeding to the throne and named it "Qunu City".
Qu girl, a woman with a bent waist.
The King of the Ring Sun was not ashamed of his mother's disability, on the contrary, he always thought that his mother was a very great woman.
Therefore, he named the new capital city with his mother's bent waist as a commemoration.
And he succeeded his father to the throne of Qunu City, the capital of Dingdu, and after becoming the king of the Ring of the Sun, he made great efforts to govern the country, conquered the Quartet, fought in the south and the north, eliminated other resistance forces in the country of Northern Tianzhu, and finally expanded the territory of Northern Tianzhu to the largest in history.
He believed in the Shiva sect of Tianzhu Buddhism, but he also adopted a policy of support for other religions. He built many stupas and garans to support the Buddhist monks. Every five years, an unveiled assembly (a large religious assembly open to all denominations) is held to encourage religious and academic exchanges among all denominations. In order to maintain his domination in his own country, his support for Buddhism reached an unparalleled level.
Because of his insane support for Buddhism, Buddhists also regard him as the protector of the Dharma on a par with Ashoka and Kasserka.
During the reign of the King of the Sun for more than 40 years, the prosperity of Northern Tianzhu far exceeded that of the Three Kingdoms of Southern Tianzhu, and both national strength and military strength had reached a peak.
Therefore, the Northern Tianzhu Hougupta Dynasty is also known as the Jieri Dynasty.
It can be seen that the king of the ring is indispensable in the history of Tianzhu, and he has a strong stroke in the history books.
The prestige of the King of the Ring Sun in Northern Tianzhu, whether in the hearts of the people or in the eyes of Buddhists, can be compared to the status of His Majesty Li Er of the Tang Dynasty in the hearts of the people and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. Steady as Mount Tai, solid as a rock, unbreakable, no one can shake his position in Beitianzhu.
Guo Ye sat on top of the elephant and looked at the towering Qunu City at the city gate, the national capital is the national capital, and it is really not comparable to Hariana City and Lucknow City.
At this time, the Tianzhu guide sent by Morodan, the lord of Hariana City, to help Guo Ye went and returned, came to Guo Ye, and muttered.
Yunshang hugged Guo Ye's waist tightly, and exhaled like a landy to blow in Guo Ye's ear: "He said that the general in charge of guarding the city has received an order from the king of the palace to let us pass into the royal city, and take us into the palace to meet the king of the sun. ”
Guo Ye's ears were itchy by the clouds, and he couldn't help but hold Yuwenqian's slender willow waist tighter, so angry that Yuwenqian felt embarrassed but didn't dare to be angry, for fear of showing something strange and being seen by the Tianzhu soldiers guarding the city.
Guo Ye pretended not to know and continued to take advantage of it, and then turned his face to Yunshang and asked suspiciously: "So, the King of the Ring of the Sun already knows that we are coming?" ”
"Stupid!"
Before Yunshang spoke, Yu Wenqian already snorted disdainfully: "Isn't this obvious?" We passed through the city of Hariana, the city of Lucknow, and thousands of people were so powerful along the way, it is no wonder that the king of the sun, as the king of a country, does not know. Someone must have already informed him. Can't even figure out this little detail? ”
Guo Ye was ridiculed by Yu Wenqian for no reason, and scolded you in your heart, stinky girl.
So he sat on the elephant and increased his strength and hit it hard, and hit Yu Wenqian's buttocks with his lower body, and gently scolded: "You give me honesty, no one will treat you as a mute if you don't speak, believe it or not, Lao Tzu will give you some color?" ”
Yun Sheng saw that his wife and Guo Ye were pinching up again, and couldn't help but feel depressed, these two were really like happy enemies.
Immediately, she hurriedly explained: "Master Hou, don't make trouble here, the city gate has been opened, and the other party has lined up to fight, waiting for the Tang envoy to enter the city to meet the king of the ring." ”
Guo Ye sighed, asked Yunshang to communicate with the old guide and the elephant trainer about entering the city, and then shouted at Zhao Jiuchou and Danzhu, who were leading the army before and after: "Jiuchou, Danzhu, let the brothers cheer up and prepare to enter the city." Walking, walking together, out of the majesty of our Tang soldiers, don't let the Tianzhu people see the jokes. ”
"Whoa!"
"Yes!"
"Whew...... Whew......"
More than 200 elephants chirped in unison, the sound was loud and high, the elephant army carried Guo Ye and others in front, and the Xichuan army followed behind, and entered the city of Qunu one after another.
After entering the city, Guo Ye and Yu Wenqian and others came down from the elephant with the help of the elephant trainer.
As soon as these officials saw Guo Ye, they immediately greeted him warmly, their expressions were polite and enthusiastic, and surprisingly, these officials who were responsible for welcoming the envoys of the Tang Dynasty could speak Chinese, and they spoke it well.
Now, Guo Ye's communication problem has finally been solved.
Of course, he didn't think that the quality of Tianzhu's officials was so high that they all spoke Chinese, such as the city lord of Hariana Morodan and the city lord of Lucknow, none of whom could speak Chinese.
Therefore, he estimated that these Tianzhu officials who could speak Chinese should have been deliberately selected by the king of the sun to consider his communication barriers.
It can be seen that this king of the ring of the sun is quite friendly in his attitude towards the envoys of the Tang Dynasty, otherwise he would not have bothered to arrange these Tianzhu officials.
But from the small to the big, to spy on the leopard, Guo Ye also saw from it that this king of the ring is not a simple role, and his delicate mind can be seen from a small arrangement.
At least, on this arrangement, Guo Ye had a good impression of this king of the sun.
Soon, these Tianzhu officials came to the will of the king of the ring of the sun, today let the envoys rest in the post house, and tomorrow they will meet in the palace and set up a banquet to entertain the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.
The locals follow the customs, and the guests follow the hosts, Guo Ye naturally let them arrange and express no objections.
He also understands that the king of the day is careful to hang his own day first, although the North Tianzhu is small, although the Tang Dynasty is a state, but the king of the sun is also the king of a country, he can't say that he can see it, and he will summon Guo Ye in a hurry with his bare feet, right? It is inevitable that you will also have to put on a pendulum to brush your sense of existence.
So, under the arrangement of several Tianzhu officials, Guo Ye took Yu Wenqian and Yunsheng and led the three thousand Xichuan troops to march in the direction of the post house.
Along the way, Guo Ye and his entourage naturally attracted the people of Tianzhu in Qunucheng to stop and watch, and they no longer had to talk about it.
And several Tianzhu officials also walked while introducing the scenery of Qunu City with Guo Ye, among which temples, pagodas, and Garan accounted for the majority.
After stopping and stopping, I finally arrived at the post house.
The 3,000 Xichuan troops were arranged to be stationed in a vacant field next to the post house, and Zhao Jiuchou and Danzhu immediately ordered the sergeants to set up camp and get busy.
Yunshang and more than 100 female self-defense forces were used as maids and arranged in a small courtyard on the side of the post house.
And Guo Ye and Yu Wenqian were arranged to live in a bamboo house specially provided for foreign envoys to stay because they were husband and wife.
This bamboo house is more exquisitely built, divided into upstairs and downstairs, downstairs for reception, unfortunately, there is only one room upstairs.
For Yu Wenqian, sleeping in the same room with Guo Ye is undoubtedly a disaster that can be imagined and predicted.
As far as Guo Ye is concerned, he can only steal joy and steal fun, and secretly and silently thank the King of the Ring Sun for his thoughtful arrangement.
After arranging Guo Ye, the officials introduced a Tianzhu official in charge of the embassy's post house to Guo Ye, and repeatedly explained to Guo Ye that if there were any requirements, they could find the official in charge of the post house to solve them.
Fortunately, the duty of this post house official is to receive foreign envoys from various countries to and from Tianzhu, so he speaks Chinese very well, and it seems that he has a dialect accent in Shuzhong, Sichuan.
After sending away the person in charge of the inn, Guo Ye suddenly yelled at Yu Wenqian, who was standing in the room on the second floor of the bamboo house, at a loss: "Why are you still stunned? You and I have been in the dust all the way, tired and tired, hurry up, go and wash my face with a basin of water, and then help me wash my feet and pinch my back by the way. ”
Yu Wenqian was immediately surprised when she heard this, and scolded angrily: "What? You actually asked me to fetch you water, wash your face, wash your feet, and pinch your back? What are you as Mrs. Ben? ”
"Damn, you're still taking Joe at this time, right?"
Guo Ye snorted: "Yu Wenqian, don't forget your current identity?" The husband is the wife, and you are asked to serve your husband, do you still feel wronged? I see that you are a girl who is not cleaned up, and she will start to go to the house to uncover the tiles after three days of not fighting. Do you want to stay in the Tianzhu Kingdom for the rest of your life and be taken by a group of Tianzhu men in turn...... Hey hey ......"
Yu Wenqian's small hands were clenched tightly into a fist, and after being repeatedly squeezed and scolded by Guo Ye, she gritted her teeth and couldn't wait to step forward and split Guo Ye in two.
But in the end, her reason still defeated her impulse, tried her best to contain the resentment in her heart, pretended to be gentle, Yingying said a thousand blessings, and said: "Husband, wait a minute, concubine obeys, let's go and fetch water for you!" ”
Guo Ye showed a victorious smile on his face, waved his hand very forcefully, pretended to be impatient and said: "Go quickly, go quickly, grind, you look good at night." ”
Yu Wenqian snorted coldly in her heart, didn't look at Guo Ye, ran straight to the door, and was about to stretch out her hand to pull it away, suddenly-
Squeak~
The door was pushed open from the outside to the inside, startling Yu Wenqian.
The person who pushed the door was none other than the post house official who had just been sent away.
Guo Ye frowned a little unhappily and scolded: "Uninvited, didn't anyone teach you to knock on someone else's door before entering it?" ”
The official smiled and apologized again and again: "Your Excellency, it is rude and rude, forgive your sins, your Royal Highness the princess of our country wants to see you downstairs in the bamboo house, so the official is abrupt." ”
Guo Ye looked puzzled and asked, "Her Royal Highness?" What do you mean? ”
"Oooh......"
The official of the post house changed his words again and again and explained: "According to the saying of the Heavenly State of the Tang Kingdom, Her Royal Highness the Great Princess is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. The eldest daughter of the king of our country, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Laga Sri in Northern Tianzhu, asked to see the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess Raja Sri?
Yo he, Guo Ye wondered in his heart, buddy came to Beitianzhu, and he hadn't seen the king of the ring sun, but he met his daughter first, this girl is quite unrestrained, and she actually took the initiative to ask to meet, fresh!
