Chapter Fifty-Six: The Messenger Came to See
"Xuan!"
As the emperor fell, this order began from the mouth of the former father-in-law, to the eunuch in front of the Qianqing Palace, and then passed through the Qianqing Gate, Baohe Palace, Zhonghe Palace, Taihe Palace, Taihe Gate, and went straight to the noon gate. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After unloading the carriage and horses in front of the noon gate, they immediately entered the palace as smoothly as Xiao Yixuan, and after a while, they saw two sturdy men wearing wolf skins from the outside to the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, completely ignoring the hostile eyes of the civil and military officials, and went straight to Xiao Yixuan and others before they could stop, and they all knelt down and said loudly: "Foreign Minister Buketai!" ”
"Foreign Minister Wu Ri Gengda!"
"Meet His Majesty the Emperor! Long live Your Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live! ”
Although these two men are one high and one low, they are also as strong as calves, and their voices are also very loud, this sentence can be said to be earth-shattering, and a little eunuch in front of the dragon driver was scared, and as soon as this voice fell, a big man standing in the military attache column stood up and shouted: "Bold! You are a barbarian, you dare to make a noise in the Jinluan Palace! ”
This person is Huo Qianze, the general of the Imperial Forest Army, this person's temper is short-tempered, known all over the country, and there is no surprise about his move, everyone knows that this general led troops at the border pass in the early years, and the Mongolian army has fought battles, large and small, at least there must be hundreds of battles, he has always hated the Mongols very much, this next opportunity, naturally to make nothing small, small things to make a big fuss.
It's just that although he scolded him like this, the two Mongolian envoys didn't say anything, and stood up after kneeling down, and the short one even showed a smirk, looking directly at the emperor behind the curtain, if they were only noisy in the palace before, but their actions at this moment can be regarded as disrespectful!
"Bastard thing! Dare to look directly at Long Yan! ”
Seeing this situation, not to mention the general Huo Qianze, even the old prime minister Li Wanqing couldn't sit still, so he jumped out immediately, pointing at the short man's nose is scolding, this old man's body is old, and the long live just now really scared him, and he was sure that the other party was really in front of the roaring hall.
It's just that the two big men still ignored Li Bangqing's scolding, and even their faces didn't change, only the tall man glanced down at the short and thin prime minister, and a sneer came out of the corner of his mouth, as if a tiger was watching a monkey make noise.
Li Bangqing's generation of literary scholars, although there have been ups and downs in their lives, but since the official residence more than ten years ago, they have never suffered such humiliation, and they exploded immediately, and they were about to rush up and fight with the stupid big man, when they heard the emperor interrupt them: "Okay!" All the equinoxes! ”
When the emperor spoke, these brilliant ministers naturally couldn't say anything more, and each of them retreated indignantly, and then listened to the emperor continue to speak: "You Mongolian wolf cubs are really getting more and more unruly!" ”
The emperor's tone was extremely stiff, it was estimated that if Shiro Tanaka had heard this, he would have shrunk to the ground with a thousand grievances, but after these two Great Khans heard this, they didn't care at all, and the short man among them laughed even more, and then arched his hand very casually: "Thank you, Your Majesty for complimenting!" The ministers heard that there is an old saying in the Central Plains, that is, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat, and dogs travel thousands of miles ****! In the grassland, only wolves live comfortably and lastingly! Dogs, on the other hand, only have food for us to be bait! ”
"That's a good point."
When the words fell, he saw that the emperor was not angry, and after a pause, he said slowly: "But do you know that in ancient times, the dog in your mouth was also a wolf tamed?" As early as five years ago, when your big man Lang Kuotai crouched in front of me and asked me to send troops to Mongolia, I approved his breed, you wait and guess, what kind of breed is he? ”
"Back to my father! In the eyes of Erchen, that Lang Kuotai is obscene and lustful, his means are despicable, he grovels when he asks for help, and jumps up and down when his wings are hard, and the dog bites the dog bones, but it is very much like the leper dog in front of the door of the drunken fairy building! And these two in front of you... A Beijing bus, a pastoral, just this quality, can not be higher! ”
Immediately afterwards, before the two big men spoke, they saw the second prince Xiao Yiquan preemptively said loudly, as soon as this remark came out, even if it caused the whole hall to laugh, this laughter was louder than the voice when he laughed at the Tanaka Shiro before, but these two men, but they did not have the face of Tanaka Shiro, and they were scolded like this in front of everyone's eyes.
In the end, it was the tall man who pulled the short man to his knees again and said, "Your Majesty! Buictai is the third prince of my Mongolia, pampered since childhood, arrogant and domineering, even when he was in the steppe, when he talked to our Great Khan, he didn't understand the rules of the Central Plains, and he inadvertently offended His Majesty, and asked His Majesty for forgiveness! ”
After that, the big man stuck his head on the ground, but the Buick station on the side did not appreciate it, and still looked like he was going to die, and the emperor on the dragon chair was silent for a long time when he saw this, and finally said softly: "That's it, stand down!" ”
"Your Majesty is magnanimous!"
Hearing this, the tall man hurriedly pulled his prince down, and came to stand beside the other princes' envoys, and there was no more sound.
Next, the emperor did not express his demands, so he directly skipped this process, and said to the envoys: "Several, you must also know that the so-called court meeting is not just a boring banquet, its main purpose is to create opportunities for the businessmen of the two countries, so that they can expand the business route, agree on business, in order to seek common benefits between countries, and its role should not be underestimated!" The court meeting will be held on the tenth day of the first month, and at that time, there will also be people in the capital who will come to watch the ceremony, and the Ministry of Rites will worry about it, and I will do it well. ”
"Your Honor!"
Hearing this, Liang Anlu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out to respond, and then listened to the emperor continue: "During this period, several envoys were handed over to several of my emperors to receive them, and as for who received whom, you will discuss it yourself." ”
After that, the emperor and the ministers instructed a few digressions, and then they dispersed, and Xiao Yixuan and other princes, as well as the envoys of the five countries, were led by Liang Anlu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, all the way out of the palace, and after picking up all the convoys of the envoys of various countries outside the noon gate, they were ready to go straight to the Ministry of Rites.
During this period, Xiao Yixuan noticed that except for the hundreds of people in the Mongolian mission, there were only a few carriages to transport tribute, and most of the rest were composed of knights, the remaining four countries together could really be described as a sea of people, except for a few guards, more were ordinary people dressed as merchants, each of them carrying a large number of wagons full of various goods, waiting in the square outside the noon gate, until this huge square was crowded!
Seeing this situation, Xiao Yixuan knew that what the emperor said before was true, this court meeting was not so much a court meeting, but rather a business exchange conference to negotiate trade between countries is more appropriate, from this point, he still agrees with the cheap father's approach, after all, looking at the big Yue before, the merchants of the past dynasties have little status, even lower than the peasants, not to mention that the court will take the initiative to create opportunities for the merchants to promote the growth of commercial consumption, in fact, you don't have to think about it to know, there is this time, the biggest profit in the end, or he Dayue, After all, in addition to the geographical location of the Ryukyus Dongying, these five countries still have a trace of exchanges every year, and the rest are either old and dead and do not get along, or they are in all directions of Daiyue and difficult to contact, which in the end, their best choice is not to do business with the merchants of Daiyue?
Thinking like this, Xiao Yixuan followed the team all the way to the Ministry of Rites, and as soon as he crossed the Jinshui Bridge in front of the noon gate square, the surrounding people surrounded him noisily, and many of them were dressed as businessmen, and they were even more excited and looking forward to it, and they were already gearing up, preparing for the court meeting in a few days. As for the rest of the people, they are also elated, and the foreign envoys come to the court for them, it is not the first time, seeing this large group of people walking by, they know that this Beijing city is about to be lively...
