Chapter 33 Gifts from the Envoys of the State of Qi The First Update

(Childe wishes you all a prosperous New Year, abundant financial resources, and good health!) Later or in the morning, the second watch will be delivered. )

Xia Wanyi had already attracted the attention of everyone present at this time.

In the eyes of the civil and military officials of the Xia Kingdom, Xia Wanyi is not a mediocre person, he has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he has been successful in martial arts.

To paraphrase the words of the 21st century, this is a real rich and handsome second-generation double champion! What Li Gang, what Wang Sisi is a floating cloud.

What no one found was a problem, and he found out. In fact, if it is in Xia Wanyi's view, this is a time to buckle the word, just like a debate competition, seize the other party's loopholes and fight back.

Clearing his throat, Xia Wanyi opened the diplomatic paperwork, pointed to the content on it and said: "Erchen believes that the two countries should negotiate peace, restore friendship, and should cease fighting, but the oath of Qi only mentions 'Qi and Xia's soldiers, don't disturb the border city', but did not say anything about retreating." Now the country of Qi is a million Chen soldiers on the border line of Xia Qi, and my Great Xia also has a million troops rushing to the border. According to the above meaning, could it be that each of them is stationing their own troops, you are stationed in a million army, and I am also stationed in a million army, each occupying various places, you see our army chatting, eating, sleeping and drilling, I also watch your army chatting, eating, sleeping and practicing? ”

"That's right."

"That's a real problem."

"In case my Great Xia accidentally retreats and the Qi State takes advantage of the weakness, then my Great Xia will be in danger."

"yes."

“……”

Xia Wanyi's words instantly ignited the discussion of the civil and military officials of the Xia Kingdom.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Xia Yongmei spoke up to stop the discussion.

The emperor spoke, and there was instant silence below.

Xia Yongmei looked at the envoys of the Qi Dynasty and asked, "Fellow envoys, did the Emperor of Heaven and Emperor say anything about withdrawing troops?" ”

The two envoys behind Special Envoy Zhang, you look at me, I look at you, obviously they don't know.

Envoy Zhang clasped his fists and replied: "Back to the Great Xia Emperor, the oracle given to me by my Great Qi Emperor is that if the Xia Kingdom withdraws its troops, my Great Qi will withdraw its troops. ”

"Why isn't it written in black and white?" Xia Wanyi stepped forward at this time and said, "In case my Great Xia soldiers return to the court, and your Qi State only relies on verbal words, and then launches a war against my Great Xia, then my Great Xia will be dumb and eat Coptis chinensis, and I can't say it." ”

Xia Yongmei nodded, and then asked Du Huatan, the secretary of the Ministry of War: "Du Aiqing, where are the officers and soldiers of the three armies of Great Xia going at this time?" ”

Du Huatan pondered for a while, calculated, and then stood up and reported: "Back to the emperor, the minister estimates that the officers and soldiers of the three armies of my Great Xia are less than three hundred miles away from the Xia Qi border. ”

Xia Yongmei listened to it and stood up: "Six hundred miles of urgent order to send the generalissimo Chang Sheng to lead the three-way army to stop advancing immediately, lead the army to retreat to Sanshe, and order the right army to lead 100,000 soldiers back to the court, and the remaining right army will be incorporated into the left army and guard the border with the middle army. ”

Xia Yongmei didn't dare to take risks, in case he fell for the tricks of the Qi State, the emperor of the prosperous world would immediately become the emperor of the declining world, and it would be a big loss.

"Special Envoy Zhang, the matter of peace negotiation is suspended, you wait to go down and rest first, I will arrange personnel to accompany you throughout the whole process, and I will notify you to attend the banquet at that time. During this period, you can discuss and write a note to your Emperor of Qi to report the withdrawal of the army. ”

Xia Yongmei stood up: "Remember, if the Qi State does not withdraw first, my Great Xia will never retreat!" ”

This last sentence resounded through the hall and reverberated in the heart.

Hearing this, the civil and military officials of the Xia Kingdom were filled with pride and infinite pride. The king of a country is the meeting of a country.

However, the three envoys from Qi Kingdom were shocked. Xia Yongmei's meaning is already very clear, so they must play Gongsun unharmed, but in this case, the time for the peace negotiation will have to be delayed, because from here to the capital of Qi State, they have to go back and forth for at least ten days non-stop.

"Yes!" Zhang Mengjiang and the others bowed in response.

Zhang Mengjiang then said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, this is a gift prepared by my Great Qi Tian and the Emperor for you, the Empress, the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess, please accept it with a smile." ”

With that, he walked up to the two deputies and lifted the red cloth from the two trays, revealing four items.

Before, when they walked into the main hall, they saw that although the things in their hands were covered with cloth, the Qi State, as a powerful country other than the Xia Kingdom, was also rich in products, and there were many talents from all walks of life.

No matter who completes the unification in the end, then the products of the land of China will be more colorful and full of talents.

The gifts brought by the envoy of Qi included a wooden fan, a coral, an ivory ornament, and a bead.

I rub it, these things are worth a lot just by visual inspection. Xia Wanyi secretly sighed in her heart that Qi Guo was really generous!

The first three are basically treasures from South Asia or Southeast Asia. If you are not mistaken, the last bead should be the night pearl, which has existed in ancient China.

And a pleasant fragrance began to waft in the air, Xia Wanyi smelled it, and felt a sense of relief in his heart.

This is definitely the best sandalwood.

Sure enough, the gifts of the Qi Kingdom made the civil and military officials present in the Xia Kingdom secretly amazed.

Due to the ancient international exchanges, the skills and materials were limited, and some of the officials here had never owned these things, or even seen them, after most of their lives.

And the officials who had seen it began to whisper like those who had not met.

Zhang Mengjiang continued: "This fan is carved with Tianzhu sandalwood, and I heard that in order to make this fan delicate enough, it took a fan maker in Tianzhu three days and three nights to complete it. For this Tianzhu sandalwood, I don't know who knows? ”

As soon as these words came out, the officials who knew the name stopped the discussion, because they only knew what it was, but they did not know the origin.

Xia Wanyi smiled in his heart, Lao Tzu is a little encyclopedia. This thing called Tianzhu sandalwood is naturally the sandalwood that is called "Indian old sandalwood" by people in the 21st century, because it is the only one that is the best quality of sandalwood.

The fan in front of me is carved with Indian sandalwood. Although my brother has never seen it, as a college student in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences in the 21st century, even if he is not a top student, he has dabbled in various things, so how can he not know!

After glancing at the fact that no one came out to answer, Xia Wanyi stepped forward and said, "Let's talk about the ugliness of this palace." ”

Zhang Mengjiang arched his hand and said, "Prince Xia, please." ”

Walking in front of the gift, Xia Wanyi explained while cooperating with the gesture: "Sandalwood is an ancient, mysterious and rare tree species, and it is a semi-parasitic plant that grows extremely slowly, and it usually takes decades to grow.

Sandalwood trees love light, do not tolerate shade, are more resistant to drought, and avoid stagnant water. It grows well on acidic red soil, yellow soil or riverside alluvial sandy soil, and should not be planted in clay soil, if it grows slowly on dry and gravelly soil, but the heartwood has a high oil content, and grows quickly on loose and fertile soil, but the heartwood quality is poor.

The sandalwood tree is delicate, and its seedling stage must also parasitize on phoenix trees, red bean trees, acacia trees and other plants to survive. It is also known as the 'Tree of Royalty' because it symbolizes power and status, and it is also known as the 'Tree of Royalty' as it is known as the 'Sacred Tree' by Buddhists and 'Tree of Fortune' by Warlocks.

And the "old sandalwood" produced in Tianzhu is the best product in sandalwood. Tianzhu sandalwood is white and yellowish in color, oily, and the fragrance is eternal. Therefore, after Special Envoy Zhang unveiled the announcement just now, a fragrance wafted out, and I believe everyone present can basically smell it. ”
