Chapter 33 Proud
In the early morning of the next day, Su Qin waited straight outside the palace of the king of Shu in a brand-new Qin official uniform.
The first feeling that the Qin people gave to the people of the world was that they were arrogant and unreasonable with their fists, and they were all bandits. There is no way to do this, after all, before Chen Hao did not bring troops into Hexi Road, the entire four states of Hexi were rampant, known as ten households and nine bandits. Therefore, people call it the Four Bandit Prefectures of Hexi.
Later, Chen Hao led troops into Tiannan Pass, pacified the bandits in the four states of Hexi, and named the king of Qin, because Qin was good at warlike and warlike, so everyone in the world regarded Qin as a barbarian in the Central Plains.
"That's the barbarian of Qindi, and he doesn't have many hands, and he dared to show off his might in my Yudu two days ago. is really a Qin barbarian who doesn't know how to be polite. ”
An official pointed at Su Qin and pointed, with a sense of looking at a monkey.
The other chimed in
"That's it, I thought that the current Qin State was still the Qin State when Chen Hao was there. Five years ago, in the battle of Lanyun, the Northern Shu Kingdom fought and paid the land indemnity. ”
A young official who knew the inside story laughed loudly and said with a sneer
"Shhh, be quiet, I heard that she is the prime minister's nephew, don't let the prime minister know why they on her head. ”
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers burst into laughter, and some even burst into tears.
However, not all the officials who passed by came to watch, and some officials shook their heads and sighed when they looked at the crowd of young officials gathered together, it was really insulting to the country, can Shu really prosper in the hands of such a group of descendants?
An official pulled the official next to him vigorously, and glanced at the palace gate with a fierce look. It is indispensable for those who are officials to observe words and colors, and several people hurriedly looked. An old man wearing the official uniform of a second-class senior official walked slowly and unhurriedly, and the onlookers instantly dispersed.
According to the laws of the imperial court, all officials of the vassal states were one to two grades lower than those of the imperial court. This means that each vassal state has only one first-class official, and that is the princely king. The rest of the officials are all from the bottom of the ranks.
Liu Yuheng, who walked beside Su Qin, said with a blank face
"Envoy Su, I'm making you laugh. ”
Su Qin also said with an official salute
"Lord Liu, I've said it. ”
Yesterday, you and I were clothed, you were my uncle and I was my nephew, and I paid attention to a love word.
Today, you and I are both ministers, you are the minister of Shu and I am the envoy of Qin, and I pay attention to a loyal word.
The morning light leaked slightly, reflecting the two figures, one walking forward and the other standing proudly.
"Su Qin, the envoy of the Xuan Qin State, came to see him. ”
The old eunuch's message came from the solemn court.
Su Qin was in a positive posture, walking steadily in the hall without slowing down, and his black official uniform was incompatible with the reddish official uniform of the Shu official, which looked particularly dazzling.
The officials on the right and left sides of the martial arts did not deliberately turn their heads to look, but only glanced at them slightly.
"Qin sent Su Qin to meet the King of Shu. ”
Su Qin did not bow down, but bent down to salute the officials.
Although the young King of Shu was angry, his expression remained unchanged, and he let Su Qin bend over and salute
"See why this king does not bow down, but prostrates officials. ”
Su Qin, who didn't hear the disrespect, straightened up and said
"Go back to the king of Shu, kneel to the sky and kneel to the ground, kneel to the king, or these four kneels and do not kneel, you are not my king, so you do not kneel. What's more, I, Qin Guan, can see the king and salute as an official. ”
Duan Zhengde just frowned, without words, and the first to send was the Shu Kingdom Great Sacrifice Wine He Changgong
"There is no etiquette, what kind of envoy can talk about, he is worthy of being a barbarian from Qindi. ”
Su Qin returned generously
"I came according to the Great Qin Rite System, and my Great Qin Rite System is made by Mr. Cao, my lord, you are a barbarian, the world's scholars take the four Confucian families as the head of Confucianism, not your He family in Shu, Prime Minister Cao is famous for his name as a family, but you are just famous in Shu. Why do you question Mr. Cao's etiquette? ”
He Changgong was blocked by Su Qin's words, his He family really can't be compared with the Cao family, but he can't weaken his momentum, but he is also a famous Confucian.
"I don't question Mr. Cao, but I question you as unreasonable. ”
Old God Su Qin said comfortably
"Mr. Cao brought me from the county office, and my case was not yet finished when I came. ”
This is obvious, Mr. Cao asked me, a junior county official, to come to your Shu Kingdom because he values me, believe me, you are not qualified to question me.
He Changgong, whose beard was trembling slightly, suppressed the anger in his heart and said
"I suspect that you have a problem with your personality and are not worthy of being a Qin envoy. ”
Su Qin's face did not change color
"Mr. Cao has seen it. ”
He Changgong, who could no longer be a scholar, trembled, and pointed at Su Qin with his left hand
"You..."
Before she could say anything else, Su Qing replied
"Mr. Cao chose me"
Attacked by the anger and the elderly He Changgong stumbled directly, but fortunately, the official next to him supported him in time, pointed at Su Qin with his left hand, and covered his chest with his right hand
"Su Qin..."
Su Qin continued to answer
"Mr. Cao asked me to come. ”
"Poof"
The elderly He Changgong finally spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted.
Duan Zheng had to give the old eunuch next to him a look, and the old eunuch hurriedly shouted
"Doctor Huan. Take Lord He down to rest. ”
A group of imperial doctors hurriedly took He Changgong, who had passed out, out of the main hall. As the person concerned, Su Qin seemed to have nothing, and still stood proudly on the hall without changing his face, without the slightest guilt.
Su Qin never thought of himself as a generous person, on the contrary, he pursued the principle of repaying kindness, repaying kindness and complaining. Secondly, in the past few days, I have been holding back the fire in my belly, and some people have to jump into the fire pit, and they are not idle to add a bowl of oil.
On the contrary, the Shu side was filled with righteous indignation, and a Qin envoy ran rampant on the court of Shu, slapping the face of the Great Shu State. If it weren't for the King of Shu still sitting on it, he would be more impulsive, especially the generals, who would have beaten Su Qin a long time ago, even if the civil and military officials of Shu were very unflattering.
Zou Pingding, the head of the Qingzhuang faction, looked angry, but he was very happy in his heart, He Da sacrificial wine is one of the two pillars of the old minister, and he has not stumbled on himself over the years, conservative and stubborn, it is simply a stone in a pit, smelly and hard. It's just that he has always been the first Confucian in Shu, and his disciples are all over the officialdom of Shu, and he can only swallow his anger, please the king, and be careful every step of the way, so that he has today's status.
If this He Lao stubbornly dies, Zou Pingding will definitely be put in the position of the great sacrificial wine by the King of Shu, which will be used to check and balance Liu Yuheng, another pillar of the old ministers' faction, and prevent the old ministers from being the only one and gradually take back their rights, which is the emperor's checks and balances.
Zou Pingding is happy and secretly happy, he is still a Shu minister on face, and he must speak strongly, not only because he is the head of the Qingzhuang faction, but also when he expresses himself in front of the king and hundreds of officials.
"Su Qin, you have gone too far, Master He is already a man in his twilight years, and you have made him angry like this. I don't take my king seriously at all. ”
The people sitting here are all officials, and everyone will not let go of this opportunity to express themselves, and for a while, the voice of scolding Su Qin was endless, and the court was chaotic.
It's relatively better to be on the side of the generals, after all, most of them rely on real military merits to exchange fame, unlike civilian officials who rely more on lip service, but there are still some scolding, and I don't know if they have other intentions from their hearts.
Su Qin turned a deaf ear to all the scoldings, and still stood tall, with a great wood show in the forest, and a thousand winds did not break.
The King of Shu, who has always been watching a play, can't see any expression on the surface, and has an attitude of looking down on all beings. In fact, I am also worried and happy in my heart, worrying about Su Qin is not simple, I am happy He Changgong is angry, I am afraid that it will be difficult.
But he couldn't let the farce go on like this, he pretended to clear his throat, and suddenly the court was silent.
