【Broadcast】Pay attention to "Reading at the starting point", get the first-hand news of 515 red envelopes, and students who have not grabbed red envelopes after the Chinese New Year can show their skills this time.
It is said that Qu Ling and the others followed the old sergeant all the way to the palace gate, and the palace gate, which was originally heavily guarded, is now dilapidated, but the warriors guarding the palace gate, although their clothes are shabby, are clean.
The whole person was refreshed and energetic, standing on both sides of the palace gate, the hands holding the halberd were tough and powerful, and the eyes were blazing, not at all like the voice of a male duck. The old man said goodbye to Qu Ling and the others, and entered the door to report to the Son of Heaven. Qu Ling and the others waited outside the door.
In the ruined palace, there is occasionally a trace of musical notes jumping out, and it seems that it is impossible to assemble a complete set of instruments, and the scattered notes, although the rhythm of the beating is too high, still cannot hide the superb skill of the performer. Qu Ling thought to himself, who would have such superb skills.
If it were the glorious moment of the year, these people might have been sent by Zhou Tianzi to all countries in the world to inspect the people's situation for Zhou Tianzi, but now the etiquette has collapsed, Zhou Tianzi has lost the actual status of the co-master of the world, and the countries no longer pay attention to the civilization of etiquette and music. Instead, there is the darkest strength, whoever has a big enough fist and a hard enough will have more right to speak.
After a while, they heard the sound of drums inside, and a group of female officers, brightly dressed, walked out of it, and the old sergeant followed closely behind. I saw that the old man walked closer, bowed down, gave a salute, and then opened his mouth to be a righteous and round word of the Son of Heaven, only to hear the old man shout:
"I am specially invited by the imperial edict of the Son of Heaven to invite the noble envoy of Qi to enter the court to see the driver", the sound of drum music broke out instantly, and a group of female officials lined up on both sides, flashing a road to the palace.
"Thank you", everyone bowed and saluted.
"Please! Your Excellency, please! The old sergeant said loudly, although a few minutes ago, he was still the veteran head of the guards guarding the city gate, but at this moment, he was already the reception official of Zhou Tianzi to greet the envoy. The identity is instantly improved, and the way of speaking is naturally not the same as usual.
Besides, people are old and affectionate, they have not seen such a grand scene for many years, they naturally cherish it extraordinarily, work hard, and in their lifetime, they can have the opportunity to welcome guests for the Son of Heaven again, even if they die in a while, they feel that this life is enough.
"Angel! Yes, please". Looking at this formation, Qu Ling and the others also understood that the veteran leader is now different.
On the way here, Qu Ling couldn't help but ask Chen Zhuang some of Zhou Tianzi's etiquette, including what aspects to pay attention to when meeting the Son of Heaven, and how to say things to be decent and generous, and not to be rude. Although Chen Zhuang is a native of Bashu, no matter what, he is also the prime minister of a country, full of scriptures, knows the heavens and the earth, and he is already very yearning for the etiquette and music civilization of the Central Plains Dynasty, so he is naturally familiar with these etiquettes and methods.
Today, I had the opportunity to see the Son of Heaven, and I was extremely excited in my heart, swept away the fear and sadness in the past, and explained some commonly used names and necessary etiquette to Qu Ling along the way.
Angels are the people of later generations at that time, for the abbreviation of "**** envoy", the monarchs of all dynasties have regarded themselves as "the co-lord of the world", the world is so big, there are so many things, naturally a person's power is limited, so the Son of Heaven will send his henchmen around him to all parts of the country to act on behalf of the Son of Heaven, collect some protection fees for the Son of Heaven, holiday gifts, and see if the people under his hands are working seriously.
Send a natural disaster, go to the front line to comfort the victims, "Mencius. "Dedication" says, "Prevention is the first and not the second." Know and act carefully, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and he can ignore it'.
A gentleman should stay away from danger, discover potential dangers in time, take necessary measures to prevent them, and leave in time if he finds himself in a dangerous environment. But as the Son of Heaven, the people of the world are their own food and clothing, how can they ignore it, their own status is precious, and there is no way to go to the scene, so they will send a representative to take a look.
As the saying goes, 'the prime minister's door is a seven-grade official', not to mention the people who run for the Son of Heaven, these people are acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and they have the sword of Shang Fang who kills and kills in their hands.
The group followed Qu Lingmeng into the main hall, the furnishings in the hall were simple and elegant, and there was no sense of that kind of magnificent extravagance, and the utensils were neat, and they seemed to be many years old, but they were wiped clean.
The court musicians played moving notes on the side, the notes were thick and solemn, making people solemn, and they did not dare to have the slightest obscene thoughts.
I saw a young man sitting upright on the top of the main hall,
Wearing a crown of nine dragons and jade,
Dressed in colorful Danxia clothes,
Waist Lantian jade buckle,
Pedal rhinoceros boots.
The face is like the snow in March in spring,
The eyes are like brass bells against each other.
What a handsome atmosphere,
What a majesty of the Son of Heaven.
This Qu Ling is also twenty-eight years old, when has he seen such a handsome young man, he doesn't feel that his eyes are straight, and Meng Shuo next to him is also amazed, thinking, 'I'm handsome enough, I didn't expect that there are people who are more handsome than me, and people are good-looking, and the work is good, the goods have to be thrown, and people can't live compared to people!" ’
But Chen Zhuang, who walked a few steps to the main hall, fell to his knees on the ground, and then said:
"Chen Zhuang, Prime Minister of Bashu Kingdom, knock to see the Son of Heaven,"
It didn't matter if it was shouted, but it shocked Meng Shuo, and he thought to himself, 'Oh my God! I originally thought that it was a guard who worked for the Son of Heaven, but I didn't think that this was the Son of Heaven, hey! Don't say anything, this is the way of the world, some people are more talented than you, have status better than you, and look better than you, no way, this is fate'. As he spoke, he glanced back at Qu Ling.
Qu Ling, who was a nymphomaniac, was still looking at it blankly, and he almost drooled to the ground, Meng Shuo hurriedly waved his hand and pulled Qu Ling, Qu Ling realized that he was a little out of shape, and Chen Zhuang was already kneeling on the ground, smiling at Meng and saying, and hurriedly came closer.
Bow and salute:
"In the lower mountains, the weeds are entrusted by my master to offer some sea salt to the Son of Heaven. Grain and grass for the Son of Heaven to dispatch".
Some people may ask, why doesn't this Qu Ling kneel, in fact, before the Song Dynasty, the common people saw that there was no need to kneel, just bow and salute, kneeling is just the etiquette between officials and officials, to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the imperial power is extremely inflated, 'there is something good at the top and there must be very much' Those officials who are used to kneeling also want to experience the refreshing feeling of being kneeled, so they force the people to kneel to themselves.
This is the common scene in film and television dramas, no matter when, the common people kneel when they see the officials.
The young Son of Heaven saw that the woman of His Royal Highness was born so beautiful, tall and tall, with a smart temperament, and between his gestures, he showed elegance and luxury. I didn't feel excited, and I thought, 'This is the owner's doorman, why is he so handsome, and what a good thing it would be if he could be by my side?' ’
Everyone has this love for beauty, and no one is immune to this cliché.
Seeing that there was still a person kneeling in His Highness, the Son of Heaven hurriedly said:
"Everyone, excuse me, be flat, and give you a seat."
Not long after, there were female court officials, who moved a few cushions, and Qu Ling and the others sat down one after another. Maybe it's just Fang Cai, when the old man came in, he had already said that these people were unwilling to reveal their identities, or maybe this week Tianzi didn't want to know who these people were. Anyway, the things are delivered, not to mention the identity is better, and you have to repay the favor in the future.
"You have come from afar, you have worked hard", the Son of Heaven greeted.
"It's not hard! It's not hard! These are all blessings for us as courtiers. "Chen Zhuang couldn't stop slapping his whiskers on the side, Qu Ling thought to himself, 'When I listened to you outside just now, my tone was quite normal, this blink of an eye, where is your backbone?' How does it feel like a mourning dog lying on the ground wagging its tail and begging for mercy! ’
Meng said that he felt awkward, seeing that the young lady was a little unhappy on her face, and she didn't care where she was, she felt the need to remind Chen Zhuang that it was ****** disgusting to talk like this. casually asked:
"Prime Minister Chen Cheng doesn't feel tired today? Then you go down and make arrangements, how about the handover of property? ”
"This? Chen Zhuang looked around with a stunned face, in fact, Zhou Tianzi also didn't like the hypocrisy and grievances of these officialdoms, and when he heard that he was the prime minister of Bashu State, he knew that Bashu had long been the territory of Qin State, the country of tigers and wolves of Qin State, there was no need to get involved with this kind of person, and if he didn't do it, he would make trouble for himself, as for why he was mixed with these people, just ask these people after a while, there is no need to talk to him.
When he heard this tall man say this, he thought to himself, and just as he drove him out, he said to the old sergeant:
"Go and hand over your belongings to your envoy."
The old man didn't have these concerns, and as soon as he heard that the Son of Heaven had arranged an errand, he naturally hurried to take the order to do it.
Chen Zhuang saw that the Son of Heaven had spoken, so he naturally didn't dare to linger any longer, so he hurriedly thanked him and took his wife down to hand over together.
"Why is this prime minister of Bashu with everyone who is doing it?" The young Son of Heaven asked curiously.
When Qu Ling heard this, he couldn't talk to you and the plate, what the situation is still unclear now, let's still have a chance to talk about it, the idea is prevaricated, he frowned, thought about it, and quickly replied to Zhou Tianzi:
"Back to Your Majesty, this Chen Zhuang couple went to Qi to purchase the specialties needed by Bashu, and they were attacked by gangsters on the way, and their property was lost, so they happened to be rescued by us, so they traveled west together."
"I see, you are really chivalrous and brave, saving people in times of emergency." Because Zhou Tianzi loves Qu Ling, he naturally does not spare all the gorgeous rhetoric.
"The Son of Heaven praised it falsely, how could Qu Ling bear it." Qu Ling is also in love, and his words are naturally gentle and tactful, which makes people listen to a feeling of numbness that goes straight to the cracks of the bones.
Meng said to stay aside, I felt that this was awkward, Qu Ling usually doesn't talk like this, what's wrong today?
When the young Tianzi heard the girl's surname Qu opposite, he had already guessed in his heart that since it was inconvenient to disclose the origin of the girl in front of him, he would no longer ask. But the girl in front of her is really worth interrogating.
