Chapter 20: Disparagement

Jiankang, Zhao Song Guodu.

People come and go here, and there is a lot of traffic, which can be described as prosperous.

Suddenly, a large group of forbidden troops dispatched, starting from the north gate of the city, driving away the crowd, dredging the streets, ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, all the way to the Zhao Song Palace.

The common people and merchants all did not know what was going on, and they were talking about it one by one.

At present, this situation seems to be not a trivial matter, could it be that something earth-shattering happened in this Great Song Dynasty?

Such a big battle, except for the National Day and the national mourning, I have never seen it.

Then, I saw the sedan chair, carriage and horse hurrying to the city gate, and several privy councillors headed by Jia Rudao walked out of the sedan chair.

The scorching sun was in the sky, Jia Rudao wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked far away, but was secretly thinking in his heart.

The news sent back by Ding Daquan is really shocking. As soon as I heard it, I felt incredible, whether it was Zhao Yun of the Zhao Song Dynasty, or Jia Yidao and other important ministers of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, they all thought it was a fantasy. But after thinking about it, Ding Daquan never dared to joke with the officials and ministers, unless he didn't want to live!

After questioning the interrogator back and forth a few times, Zhao Song and the others finally confirmed the truth of what he said.

The dragons, the giant beasts, and the iron army all show that this foreign visitor is extraordinary.

So the ministers suggested that Zhao Yun make a decision and receive this foreign guest with the highest etiquette standards. No, even another prime minister, Jia Yidao, was dispatched.

Standing at the gate of the city, Jia Rudao's eyes gradually dispersed, and the more he thought about it, the more he thought about it.

Suddenly, a small official next to him shouted: "It's coming!" ”

Jia Rudao suddenly came back to his senses, looked up, and opened his mouth wide.

I saw it in the distance.

In the sky, a divine dragon hovered in the air, surrounded by a cloud of gold. It is like a god descending from heaven, and it is extremely sacred.

On the ground, the beasts opened the way, and the knights lined up, and the ground shook and rumbled.

In the side. A big sedan chair is a foil, but Ding Daquan, the right minister of Zhao and Song, has become a supporting role. Zhao Song's elite soldiers followed inconspicuously on the side.

Jia seemed to swallow his saliva, and he clearly heard that his colleagues around him also made a gurgling sound of swallowing spit.

It's close.

Ding Daquan asked the sedan chair driver to speed up, and when he got closer, he hurriedly got off the sedan chair. met with Jia Yidao and others.

Immediately, Li Ji rode the dragon horse and landed slowly.

Jia Rudao and the others glanced at each other, bowed down in unison, and said, "The lower officials are waiting for His Highness to come!" ”

Li Ji turned over and got off the dragoon, walked closer, waved his hand, and said: "Lao Zhujun has been waiting for a long time, His Royal Highness is rude!" ”

Ding Daquan then introduced Li Ji to the cadres of Zhao Song and Chongchen who were present. After a short pause, we are about to enter the city. Go to see the official family of Zhao Song.

Jia seemed to salute and said: "The so-called guest is as good as the host, Your Royal Highness is here, and I should do the friendship of the landlord in the Great Song Dynasty." With that, he was ready to introduce Li Ji into the eight-lift sedan chair.

Li Ji waved his hand and refused, and said with a smile: "Jia Xiang's kindness." His Highness got it. I still prefer to ride a dragon ride. I also have to bother you to lead the way, and Your Highness will follow closely. ”

Jia Rudao and others had no choice but to follow.

So, the officials who came to greet Zhao Song led the way, and Li Jifu got on the dragoon again. Hover through the air and lead the Golden Knight. On the ground, Zhou Tai instigated the Heavenly King War Cavalry to follow Jia Rudao and the others, and the Hetu War Cavalry followed.

As for the Zhao and Song soldiers, they were guarding.

The group entered Jiankang City.

Ten miles long street, the war rode everywhere, but there was no sound.

After Li Ji and his entourage walked by, the people on the side were amazed, and even bowed their heads and bowed, some were frightened and surprised, and they couldn't believe it. The scenery is not detailed.

Soon, it was in front of the Zhao Song Palace.

There is Zhao Yu, the son of Zhao Song Rong, King Zhao and Rui, leading a cadre of civil and military forces, waiting at the palace gate.

Seeing the Origin Empire's war cavalry, the waiting Zhao Song Wenwu were all in an uproar. And Zhao Yu looked frightened.

Li Ji rode and landed, turned over with a group of brothers and sisters, and took the looks of these people into his eyes.

He stepped forward and saluted him.

That Zhao Yu trembled, and each returned a salute, a little submissive.

waved his hand to collect the war horse, which caused a commotion of surprise, and then the ten brothers and sisters entered the Zhao Song palace surrounded by Zhao Song officials, and Zhou Tai led ten people to guard them. The rest of the war cavalry has its own Zhao and Song officials, and it is properly placed.

At this time, Zhao Yun, the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty, was already waiting in the hall where the court meeting was held.

Speaking of which, it is really very grand and formal.

Historically, foreign envoys came to the Great Song Dynasty, and they were first introduced by the envoys to the post house in the city to rest temporarily, and then the officials of Fenglilang and Taichang Liyuan taught etiquette, and finally they could be summoned by the emperor.

But for Li Ji and his party, Zhao Song expressed the highest courtesy specifications.

Not only was the Privy Council dispatched, but Emperor Zhao Song was about to receive him immediately.

Without him, because Li Ji and the others are too mysterious, the Origin Empire, which has never been heard of, is too powerful. As soon as Zhao and Song became rulers, they subconsciously put themselves in a lower position.

Under the guidance of Ding Daquan and Jia Yidao, Li Ji entered the hall of the Zhao and Song dynasties. This hall is extremely wide and gorgeous, and the carved beams and paintings are not enough to describe.

There were already many officials on the left and right sides, and when they saw Li Ji's ten siblings coming in, they all focused their eyes on them.

Li Ji didn't seem to care, raised his head, and saw Zhao Yun, the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty, sitting upright on the dragon bed.

So he stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Li Ji, the great prince of the Origin Empire, with nine brothers and sisters, has seen the Great Song Emperor!" ”

"I've seen the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"

The rest of the nine people made a salute together.

And Zhou Tai and more than ten other guards were waiting outside the hall.

Zhao Yun smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Excuse me." ”

As he spoke, he carefully looked at Li Ji's ten brothers and sisters, and then said, "Give me a seat." ”

So some eunuchs and attendants brought ten soft stools, and Li Ji gave another salute, then lifted his robe and sat down slowly.

The officials in this hall have been looking at Li Ji and them.

These ten Gentile Highnesses have their own bearings, all of them are extraordinary, and there is nothing rude. Looking at their appearance, they are no different from the Song people, although in terms of clothing. There is a slight difference.

"Your name is Li Ji, right?"

Zhao Yun looked at it carefully and asked.

Li Ji bowed his head, looked directly at Zhao Yun, and said, "Exactly." ”

"Your country, called the Origin Empire?" Zhao Yun said again: "I have heard a lot about the scenery of the extreme west, but I don't know that there is an origin empire. Can you help me solve my doubts? ”

Li Ji smiled slightly and said, "His Majesty the Emperor may have thought about it." After saying this, his immature face was full of positive color: "My Origin Empire is not in this realm, but in another realm. Don't say that the extreme west of this realm is the extreme south, the extreme north, and the extreme east, and it is impossible to find traces of my origin empire. ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Yun was puzzled in his heart, and said quietly: "How can this be explained?" ”

So Li Ji gave Zhao Song and the ministers of the emperor a popularization of knowledge in the dimensional world. It finally dawned on them. At the same time, they were horrified.

A pair of eyes, looking at these ten and a half children, as wide as a copper bell!

It turned out that they were from another time and space, and they were people from another world!

Incredible, the end is incredible!

It's like suddenly seeing a god descend to earth, it's unbelievable.

"Your Majesty the Emperor. Your world is suddenly connected to my Origin Empire. A stable space-time channel has been formed, which is why we are here. ”

Zhao Yunqiang suppressed the shock in his heart, but chatted with Li Ji about the customs of the Origin Empire. and asked Li Ji about his feelings about the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Ji was blunt and said: "I have come from the top of Huashan Mountain, and I have some insights along the way. If it is said that the Great Song Dynasty is not prosperous. No one believes this. ”

Zhao Yun nodded with a smile.

"But,"

Li Ji paused, and said: "I can see the decadence and decay of the Great Song Dynasty from it!" ”

Zhao Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and His Royal Highness's ministers all looked a little unkind.

Li Jihun didn't care. He said, "Your Majesty the Emperor knows what kind of style my Origin Empire is?" As His Royal Highness the Great Prince of the Origin Empire, I can tell His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty without hesitation that our Origin Empire has a population of 10,000,000, but there is not a single beggar! ”

"It's not that all the beggars are killed, nor that all the beggars are imprisoned." Li Ji said with a smile: "Because everyone is rich and every family lives in peace, there are naturally no beggars." ”

"Compared with my origin empire, under the prosperous surface of the Great Song Dynasty, there is an extremely discordant picture. Along the way, I saw many people displaced, encountered many interceptions, and saw the cavalry of the enemy country of the Great Song Dynasty crisscrossing the territory of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

"I have never been able to imagine that the Great Song Dynasty has such a non-governmental organization as the Beggar Gang with hundreds of thousands of people! A friend in this world told me when he joked that the beggar gang is as big as there are beggars. You can imagine this! ”

Li Ji ignored Zhao Yun and the Zhao Song officials, whose faces were getting more and more ugly, and continued: "As for the enemy's cavalry across the territory, it can only be said that the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are not sharp enough. His Majesty the Emperor knows that when my father rose, he wiped out the Xiongnu, Qiang, and Xianbei people. No matter how many hundred thousand cavalry he had, all of them were defeated under the iron heel of my Origin Empire. Those barbarians, beaten into slavery by us, create wealth for our empire! ”

As he spoke, he stood up, his eyes were clear, he swept around, and said proudly: "But don't understand crookedly. In my empire of origin, they used to be Huyi, but now, they are also Han Chinese. It's just that there is a difference. Even if they were slaves, each of them had his own property, and every family lived and worked in peace and contentment. It's just that the benefits of the empire enjoyed are far inferior to those of naturalized and Han nationality. ”

"I think that whether it is the Huns or the Xianbei people, I am afraid that they are not inferior to the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, Meng Yuan. I think the Great Song Dynasty has a large population and is extremely prosperous, but why was it forced to do this? Even, even some rabble among the people want to hold a heroic conference to help the official, what is the reason? ”

Many officials quietly lowered their heads.

Emperor Zhao Yun felt that his face was hot.

Li Ji observed his words, but sat down slowly, and after a change of words, he said: "I and the nine brothers and sisters this time were originally going to look for my father, but I came to this world by mistake. The people of the Great Song Dynasty in this world, many of my origins empires. Regardless of appearance and etiquette, there are similarities. In the infinite time and space of this great universe, it is really not easy to find a civilization similar to the empire. So I also thought about visiting His Majesty the Emperor early in the morning. ”

After a pause in his voice, Li Ji continued: "Although His Majesty the Emperor's Great Song Dynasty has many shortcomings, I also see many advantages. At least in terms of commerce and culture, not much worse than the empire. ”

Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

was pointed out to many shortcomings by a half-year-old child in person, which made him extremely uncomfortable. But as an adult and an emperor, it's not good to attack some children in front of the ministers, so it would be too unimpressive.

Now that Li Ji has changed the topic, he finally made Zhao Yun feel more comfortable. (To be continued......)
