The grassland wants to send envoys to visit Dayu, and the court attaches great importance to it, and the household department has approved an unprecedented 100,000 taels of funds specifically for entertaining the grassland envoys. This is a separate and dedicated funding.

100,000 taels is more than enough for the Hun envoys to eat, drink and have fun until the New Year. On the side of Honglu Temple, the main reception staff turned out to be Cheng Xiang. There may be a reason for settling with Lu Sheng.

No one can see that the relationship between Ji Lin and Lu Sheng is so close that it is the most intimate among the monarchs and ministers of all dynasties, and Cheng Xiang, as the only disciple recognized by Lu Sheng, can go to what height no one can imagine in the future.

Of course, Lu Sheng still agrees with Cheng Xiang's ability. He was enlightened as a young man, and after ten years of hard study, his mind was far more mature than his peers. Lu Sheng held the detailed information of Cheng Xiang in the past ten years. No matter how big or small, Cheng Xiang's experience in the past ten years has been recorded.

"My lord, I will see you from Honglu Temple. Madoka knocked on the door and said.

"Let him come. Lu Sheng closed the information and said lightly.

Soon, Cheng Xiang, dressed in a crimson official robe, walked into Lu Sheng's office. Generally, when foreign visitors come to visit, Lu Sheng is met in the reception room, and those who can be met in the office are all henchmen.

Regarding the National Xuantianfu Conference held last month, Lu Sheng met with Spider, Lu Jian and Duan Fei in his office.

"Teacher!" Cheng Xiang bowed.

Speaking of which, the official uniform of a civil official is very ugly in Lu Sheng's eyes. Because the red official uniform of the civil official is wide, it seems to be wearing a hemp bag on the body. It's still the uniform of Xuantianfu, close-fitting, handsome!

"The emperor attaches great importance to the reception of the grassland envoy this time, and I didn't expect that Honglu Temple would be handed over to you. ”

"The students are also flattered and feel that they are not up to the task of this important ......"

"Excessive modesty is hypocrisy. Honglu Temple will give you the task, on the one hand, it is your promotion, and on the other hand, it is your affirmation. If you really don't have this ability, Honglu Temple won't give you the task.

Originally, I didn't have anything to teach you, but if you think about it, I'm afraid that you will be misled by the misinterpretation of the above, so I will convey to you the emperor's clear meaning.

But the above is to let you do your due hospitality, and do not fall into my reputation as a state of etiquette?"

"Yes! The courtyard specially explained again and again yesterday that he wanted to let the grassland make guests feel at home. But the students want to come, has such a Qu Ying fallen into the prestige of my Heavenly Empire?"

"That's nature! It is our etiquette to let the grassland make us feel at home, but we must not degrade our majesty. They came to Beijing to explore the reality of my Dayu. ”

"How should the students respond? Or is the court already prepared?"

"There's no need to deal with it, and there's no need to prepare. Lu Sheng shouted lightly, "I, Dayu, the people are rich and the country is strong, and the country is peaceful and peaceful, what is there that they can't see? Not only let them see it, but also let them experience it for themselves."

Have you planned the reception plan for the envoy from the grassland?"

"The draft has been prepared, please ...... teacher for guidance," Cheng Xiang took out a roll of paper from his cuff. Looking at this scene, Lu Sheng changed his previous opinion, the official robes of civil officials still have some advantages. At least it's not easy to find what to hide.

Lu Sheng rolled the paper and unfolded it.

"Hmm...... Forget about the State Guest Building...... That was the specification for receiving the monarchs of other countries, and it was somewhat excessive for envoys. Well...... Visiting the barracks and practicing martial arts or something is recorded as a hidden record, and if they don't have this requirement, we don't have to drag people to go. Replace it with a place to eat, drink and have fun, the grassland is barren, and you can't even afford to eat salt, let alone any delicious snacks.

Take them to the food city, the snack street will definitely make them have fun. If they want to experience the life of the people of Dayu, then take them to live a day according to the rhythm of the life of the people of Dayu. Wander around during the day and watch plays and listen to music at night. ”

"That's it?" Cheng Xiang felt that the hospitality that Lu Sheng said was like a country's hospitality? Any ordinary person could entertain guests from afar according to this specification.

"Isn't that okay? As long as the safety work is done well, the hospitality doesn't cost much. I will send a special task force and three elite teams to report to you, and they will obey your command during the envoy's stay in Beijing.

To make safety first, the rest, improvised. We try to satisfy their reasonable demands, and we have to verbally reject their unreasonable demands.

Remember eight words, neither humble nor arrogant, great country demeanor!"

"Yes, the students were taught. ”

Five days later, Liangzhou came to report first, the envoy to Dayu is the first general under Cheng Mao Ji Khan, Wu Ke, and with the visit to Dayu is Cheng Mao Ji Khan's youngest daughter Princess Huizhu.

After another five days, the envoy from the grassland arrived in the capital under the escort of Liangzhou.

Outside the gate of the capital, a group of officials from Honglu Temple headed by Cheng Xiang came here early in the morning to wait. According to the practice of the grasslands in the past, they would generally show off their equestrian riding and archery in front of the officials of Shenzhou. For example, dozens of cavalry collectively launched a charge towards the capital to deter the Shenzhou officials who came to greet them.

But after arriving in Liangzhou, they ran into Xuantian Mansion in Liangzhou. Seriously, although the Xiongnu heard that Dayu had set up a new department called Xuantianfu, they didn't know that Xuantianfu was dry. Even, they didn't expect Xuantian Mansion to be so rigid.

Along the way, he was escorted by Xuantian Mansion, not to mention anything to show off his horse and shoot on horseback, even if the master ordered the horse to charge, the horse was honestly motionless.

Although horses are brutes, they also have brains. The previous few of the same kind were dancing too happily, and the four horses' hooves fell with a knife, and they were served on the table that night.

The Xiongnu envoys were very angry, but they couldn't beat them. Xuantian Mansion in Liangzhou gave the Xiongnu two choices, either to continue to go to Beijing or to send them back. In the face of this kind of soft and hard department that does not eat black bread, the Huns had no choice but to leave a cruel sentence that I would complain to your emperor and obediently hit the road.

It was sent to the gate of the capital, and the men and horses of Xuantian Mansion in Liangzhou galloped to Cheng Xiang and others to dismount, "We are the Special Operations Brigade of Xuantian Mansion in Liangzhou, and we were ordered to escort the Hun envoys to Beijing safely, the task was completed, and we asked for reinstatement." ”

"Resurrection!" As he spoke, Cheng Xiang took out the seal and stamped it on the mission of Xuantian Mansion.

"The envoy will be handed over to you now, and I will wait to go back. ”

"Let's go, brother!"

This brother made the black-faced Xuan Tianwei who had returned to life show a bright smile on his face, "This group of goods is not honest if they don't beat, you are fierce to them, and you are obedient." ”

These words made the officials accompanying Honglu Temple full of cold sweat.

Cheng Xiang didn't care, and after Xuantianwei left in Liangzhou, he took a group of officials to the envoys.

There were twenty-two Xiongnu in their group, but there was only one splendid carriage. Twenty-two people, each with two horses. Even Uko, who also holds the scepter of the minister in his hand and rides on a horse.

In an instant, Cheng Xiang had a judgment that Her Royal Highness the princess should be in the carriage.

Cheng Xiang stepped forward, but the Huns were still sitting on their horses unmoved. Cheng Xiang suddenly stopped when he was ten zhang away. The accompanying officials looked puzzled.

"Brother Mingyu, tell them to dismount. ”

"Dismount your ministers!"

Wow! Ten Xuantian guards took a step in order. The Huns were unmoved.

"Envoy, please dismount!"

As soon as these words were drunk, the stars in the sky instantly burst out with dazzling light, and under the light, every Xuan Tianwei exuded a hazy glory, as powerful as a god descending from the earth.

And at this moment, the momentum oppressed by the Xiongnu was like an overwhelming wave.

The face of Wu Keji, who was the leader, changed, and he raised his hand, "Dismount!"

Twenty Huns dismounted. At this time, Cheng Xiang showed a lovely smile and strode towards the grassland.

"This official is Cheng Xiang, the secretary of the Honglu Temple of Dayu, and was ordered to receive the Xiongnu envoys. On behalf of His Majesty Emperor Dayu Rende, this official welcomes you to Dayu!"

"I am the envoy of the Xiongnu Khanate, Wu Keji, and I sent an envoy to the Dayu State on the orders of my Great Khan. The Xiongnu Khanate and Dayu have not established diplomatic relations for almost fifty years. When I was very young, I used to see Shenzhou from afar, and my father told me that it was a heavenly place, with countless riches and women......

Please forgive me for my rudeness, in the hearts of our prairie people, wealth and women are the most precious things, maybe my words are a little inappropriate, please forgive me. ”

"It's okay, you're right, I'm Dayu has wealth and women. Of course, there are more warriors like them!" Cheng Xiang looked at the Liangzhou Special Operations Brigade in the distance and said with a look of admiration.

Maybe the Liangzhou Special Operations Brigade brought them some discomfort, and in an instant, the faces of many Huns became gloomy.

Cheng Xiang led the Huns to the post inn. Although the post station sounds very low, it depends on what kind of post station it is. The post station in the capital mainly receives the feudal officials who enter Beijing, and the environment and service level are higher than the restaurant inn.

Along the way, Cheng Xiang keenly felt that a pair of eyes were peeping at him from time to time. Although the eyes in the carriage were very secretive, they definitely couldn't escape Cheng Xiang's perception.

Although Dayu already knew that there was a princess of the Huns accompanying him, the Huns did not openly admit it to Dayu. Then if you know each other, you should not see it.

"Lord Cheng, Dayu has always been advertised as a state of etiquette, but now it seems that your etiquette has a big omission. If it's negligence, I can forgive it, but if it's deliberate neglect of us, please forgive me for taking my leave. When I arrived at the place, my face darkened as soon as I stepped into the courtyard.

"Why did you say that, is there anything wrong with our hospitality?"

"What kind of place is this?" Wu Keji shouted in a deep voice, "This is not the State Guest Building. Could it be that in the mind of Emperor Dayu, the envoys of the Xiongnu Khanate are not qualified to live in the state guest building?"

"Lord Wu may have misunderstood. Cheng Xiang explained with a smile, "Lord Wu knows what the State Guest Building is?"

"Of course it's the Emperor's guest residence?"

"I, Dayu, am the kingdom of Shenzhou, and who can be the emperor's guest should be the understanding of Lord Yiwu? Even if he is not the head of a country, he should be a close relative of the lord of the country. If Mr. Wu is the Great Khan of the Huns, he will naturally be a guest of His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty. If Lord Wu and his envoys are all guests of my emperor, then what is Cheng sweating profusely? Where should he stay when he comes?"

This explanation made Wu Keji stare at him for a long time and couldn't hold back a word. Doesn't it mean that Dayu's officials are all very polite? Aren't they all taking care of foreign envoys? Why don't I eat ashes and touch nails all the way?

Could it be that the Dayu Dynasty has been so inflated?
