Chapter 54: The Envoy Comes to the Court
When he first heard this, Xiao Yixuan still had the idea of asking his wives to start practicing martial arts, but as soon as this idea came out, he had already denied it in his heart. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
After all, although he is a layman, he also knows in his heart that martial arts is a journey, without ten or eight years of hard work, it is difficult to see results, and it is difficult to ask his wives to practice martial arts? Wait until you cultivate to the level of Mu Jingjing and then round the house? Then when you break it, it is estimated that the great-grandson of the third child can play soy sauce!
Besides, a guy like him who aspires to become a peerless master and flies around in the sky doesn't dare to give up halfway, if he wants to practice this hidden dragon decision, even if he has more resources to assist, it will take five or six years to get a small success, so if he wants to solve his physiological needs here, he must find another qualified woman as Mu Jingjing said.
It's just that the internal strength is no less than Mu Jingjing's woman... This condition is easy to say, but in fact, it is difficult to find it.
There is no other reason, in today's era, those women who look better, either everyone is beautiful, or Qinglou women, finally there are a few good-looking people, and they are all sent by their parents to big families to be concubines, with their beauty in this world, they can always find their own foothold, and those who can go to practice martial arts, but all of them are rough branches, crooked melons and cracked dates---, there is a team of women's guards in the Cining Palace of the queen mother, which was established at the beginning of the founding of the country. Specially responsible for protecting the safety of the inner house of the queen and the palace concubines, called the Red Sleeve Army, from the generals to the pawns, all of them are composed of women, and there are 500 people in the full fight, among which the martial arts are higher than Mu Jingjing, Ju Xiao Yixuan knows, there are also so many people, but the appearance of those few people is more than the masters, and the throat is drunk out, which is enough to break the water tank in front of his gate, just add a beard, and then be able to go on stage and pretend to fly violently, just ask, how can Xiao Yixuan do this kind of hero?
Thinking about it, Xiao Yixuan only felt that he had nothing to love, but at this moment, his eyes suddenly fell on Mu Jingjing, who was low-eyed and pleasing to the eyes in front of him, thinking that since the day of the selection, he had never seen such a shy appearance.
He is not wood, the relationship between men and women, he has always guessed clearly, and he muttered in his heart at the moment, it would be good if Mu Jingjing turned around and left after saying this, but at this moment she stayed for no reason, and put on a look of still picking, it was obvious that she was seducing herself, but he had to think about whether the condition of 'not breaking the body' was true.
After all, speaking of Dali, in addition to the daughters of those first-class ministers in the court, in this Dayue court, among the world, it is estimated that there are one hundred and one women in a hundred women who want to marry the one who is --- to marry them, and they may still be mothers-in-law.
"Your Highness..."
To say that this Mu Jingjing can be regarded as a person who is good at observing words and feelings, seeing that Xiao Yixuan was silent for a long time, his brows frowned slightly, when he knew that the other party might be able to break his meaning, when he said solemnly: "If Your Highness has nothing else to do, the minister will retire." ”
"Go ahead, and come back tomorrow night."
Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan nodded silently, and then watched Mu Jingjing get up and go out, and then walked around the hall twice, and finally broke the idea of breaking the sand pot and asking to the end.
It's just ---, I'd rather believe it than believe it, if you want to deal with it, you can deal with it first, anyway, I have eaten dog food for more than 20 years in my previous life, so I don't care about the past few years!
Thinking so, he turned over and got into bed, and silently practiced the Hidden Dragon Duel, his Qiankun strength could not be practiced today, and only tomorrow he instructed the people of the Internal Affairs Office to prepare the required herbs to practice again.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Xiao Yixuan woke up in soreness, and called the two little palace maids of Hongyue Qingqiu to serve him to wash and change clothes.
Xiao Yixuan doesn't care much about this, anyway, there will be more time in the future, and there are still more opportunities to pick up that girl's film, that girl has a big temper and is difficult to tame, she still needs to be trained slowly, and she must not be in a hurry.
As soon as he came out of the dormitory, Xiao Yixuan saw that the five side concubines were already standing in the courtyard together, and it was Xiao Yanyi who took the lead today.
Xiao Yixuan smiled lightly, stepped forward to greet them, and then instructed the palace people to prepare breakfast, but the eunuch who took the order had not gone far, and saw Liu Wengui trotting all the way from outside the courtyard, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Xiao Yixuan and said: "Your Royal Highness, the emperor is summoned in the Qianqing Palace!" ”
"Qianqing Palace?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan was slightly stunned, Qianqing Palace is the place where the emperor went to court, it stands to reason that if there are no special circumstances, the prince and the princes will not be able to go, even if the emperor summoned them in the past, they were mostly in the imperial study, the palace of nourishing hearts, or the imperial garden, but this time they were summoned in the Qianqing Palace, and they were also picked in the last court? This was a bit of a surprise to him.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yixuan immediately asked, "What time is it?" ”
As if knowing the question in Xiao Yixuan's heart, Liu Wengui took the initiative to say: "Back to Your Highness, it's just past midnight, and the Qianqing Palace is heading up!" The servant heard from the father-in-law who delivered the decree that it seemed that the foreign envoys had arrived, and several other princes had also been summoned! ”
"No wonder!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yixuan suddenly realized that he didn't expect that he would be swaying around like this, and in the blink of an eye, he would mix up most of the months, and immediately responded, and then told Xiao Yanyi and them, and then turned around and went back to change clothes--- the body he was wearing now was not suitable for showing up in a place like Qianqing Palace.
Hurriedly changed his clothes, Xiao Yixuan went straight to the Qianqing Palace with his father-in-law who came to deliver the decree, to be honest, in his memory, since he became an adult, he never came to this Qianqing Palace in the last dynasty, through the Baohe Palace, as soon as he stepped into the gate of the Qianqing Gate, he saw the red-clothed and silver-armored royal forest soldiers standing on both sides of the square, although there were thousands of people, but there was no noise at all, only the cloak behind them hunted sound, telling their powerful might.
Along Panlong Avenue all the way forward, came to the Qianqing Palace under the long white jade steps, and saw the Ouchi guards dressed in dark yellow costumes lined up in two rows, although the dress of these Ouchi guards is not as powerful as the Imperial Forest Army, but it seems more calm and domineering, all of them are as strong as bulls, seeing Xiao Yixuan come up the stairs, they all salute respectfully--- according to the Da Yue example, in the army to which the Imperial Forest Army belongs, there is no need to salute anyone when on duty, and the Ouchi guards are equivalent to the personal guards of the emperor's family, no matter what the occasion, They are all to salute the royal people.
Putting aside the majestic battles outside, as soon as Xiao Yixuan entered the hall, he was noticed by countless pairs of eyes, only to see that the hundred officials here were divided into civil and military sides, each divided into nine rows, without martial arts, all holding a piece of Chao Wat in their hands, and then looking up, in front of the hundred officials, a few figures in different clothes were standing there respectfully, among which there were Xiao Yilian and other princes, the former must be foreign envoys.
Emperor Xiao Tianjing sat high on the dragon chair, still holding the thick purple gauze curtain in front of him, as if he was talking to the envoy in front, seeing Xiao Yixuan coming in, he couldn't help but stop talking, and then raised his voice and said: "My prince is here!" Yi Xuan, come here and meet the ambassadors of these countries. ”
"Son's Honor."
As he spoke, Xiao Yixuan slowly stepped forward, and then saw four figures standing beside his brothers, among these five people, except for one who looked older, the rest were teenagers of the same age as him.
Look at the young man closest to him, he was dressed in a plain and wide robe, the hem of the robe was close to the ankles, his appearance was delicate, his skin was fair, he could be called a beautiful young man, but he was helplessly ruined by a generous face, at first glance, he was a Goryeo envoy, probably a prince or something.
And the one next to the prince of Goryeo, his appearance is mediocre, nothing special, and his clothes are no different from those of Da Yuezhong, if you want to say something different, it is that his clothes are too gorgeous, only to see an agate hairpin on the back of his head, inlaid with coral jade, and a luxurious belt full of precious stones and jade pendants around his waist, which is dazzling together, full of nouveau riche appearance.
Looking further back, it was the only middle-aged man, short, with a long face, the nasolabial folds were particularly prominent, a pair of small eyes with black beads running around, the thief was overflowing, the weird bald pill hairpin, the black kimono, the family crest, the flip-flops, and occasionally exposed the teeth, but it was still black, and at a glance it was the representative of Dongying.
The last person was a childish-looking little boy, and his clothes were not only like his Da Yue's clothes, but also had a bit of Dongying characteristics, which was very strange.
After quickly looking at these people, Xiao Yixuan chuckled and arched his hand to them, which was regarded as a greeting, and the latter and the others also hurriedly greeted each other with a smile, after all, now these countries can be regarded as Dayue subject countries, and they are naturally polite to their future masters.
"Yi Xuan, listen to me introduce to you, this one in front of you is the prince of Goryeo, Li Zhixiao, the one in the past, it is Duan Chengxuan, the prince of Dali, the small one, it is the Ryukyu prince Tan Jike, and the last one with black teeth is Tanaka, the foreign minister of Dongying... What do you call Tanaka? ”
The greeting was being played here, and the emperor in the other side introduced it to Xiao Yixuan, and the exit was this and that, without any respect at all, and when he asked the ambassador of Dongying, he forgot the name of the person.
It's just that despite this, none of these people dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction, and the ambassador replied respectfully in his stiff Chinese: "Return to His Majesty the Emperor!" The little envoy's name is Shiro Tanaka, and his name is tongue-twisting, it's really troublesome Your Majesty! ”
"Well, it's quite tongue-twisting."
Hearing this, the emperor was also a musician, and said casually: "I don't know what you Dongying people are doing, this one is called Tanaka, that one is called Inoue, and there is actually one called Uesugi, and there is no one called the bed!" It seems that the interest of your people is really peculiar! ”
The meaning of ridicule in the emperor's mouth is obvious, the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty also do not give face, as soon as the former spoke, the ministers burst into laughter, Xiao Yixuan and the princes on the side, including the envoys of the rest of the countries are also happy, to say that although the emperor Xiao Tianjing has been obsessed with cultivating immortals in recent years, but the domineering spirit at the beginning of the founding of the country still exists, and the attitude towards these subject countries has never been good, especially in Dongying, it has always been coercion and intimidation, and there has not even been a temptation.
On the other hand, the patience of Shiro Tanaka is also amazing enough, listening to the ridicule of the Manchu Dynasty, he actually said flattering words without changing his face and heartbeat: "Yes, yes, in fact, our Dongying people's interest in that aspect is more special... ”
As soon as these words came out, the laughter in the hall became louder, but the other party's words also made a few people think a little more highly of it, thinking that this person is not only moody, but can endure humiliation to this extent, but also is really a character.
When the laughter faded, I heard the emperor continue to ask: "What a Tanaka Shiro!" Let me ask you, why do other countries send their own princes here, but you only send you, a subordinate, here? Could it be that after a few years of not fighting, your emperor began to look down on my Dayue Dynasty? ”
As he spoke, the emperor's tone became significantly stiffer, and Shiro Tanaka hurriedly prostrated on the ground when he heard this, and said respectfully: "The little envoy doesn't dare!" Our emperor did not have this meaning, but the only adult prince in my family died in a war, and the oldest of the remaining princes was only ten years old, and it was really difficult to be an envoy, and the emperor had no choice but to send the little envoy here, and at the same time doubled this year's tribute to show that I was ashamed. . . ”
This Tanaka Shiro said it appropriately, and between the lines he just lightly brought the death of his own prince, but the emphasis was on the 'guilt' of Da Yue, which was not good for people to make trouble again, the emperor was speechless, so he had to pretend to comfort him a few words, and then turned the conversation to his minister.
"Where is Liang Anlu?"
"The minister is here."
Hearing the emperor's summons, Liang Anlu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly stood up and answered.
"This tribute, a total of Mongolia, Goryeo, Ryukyu, Dali, Dongying five countries, now the envoys of the four countries have arrived, so why have the Mongols not seen for a long time?"
