6. Talk about mountains and rivers
A heavy snowfall has gone away the filth of the world, the weather has improved, it seems to be raining outside, the ground is full of water, the snow on the roof is gradually melting, flowing down the edge of the house, and the sound of ticking is calming.
In order to make life less boring, and too lazy to be a scientist to engage in research, he simply used a knife and pen to draw a chessboard on the desk, and made a Chu River and Han boundary in the middle, and then cut the thick bamboo slips into square pieces, and carved carts, horses, elephants, soldiers, pawns, and cannons on them.
It took half a day to kill Yan Dan, the two hundred and five churches, and then let half of his carriage and horse artillery, kill this kid to a great extent.
Abused Yan Dan in the future thousands of times, he himself was still happy to be abused, often regretted and begged for mercy, and lost the kingly demeanor in the past...... Wei Zun is very cool.
The ancients did not have many ways to entertain, only during the day they could move, and there was a curfew at night, except for eating and chatting, they could only lie in the bed and make people.
In addition, Wei Zun, who has never been out of the deep palace, has not seen what fun the common people have.
Just when Yan Dan was repentant and did not allow classmate Han to eat his veteran, a servant outside the door shouted: "Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Qian is visiting." ”
"Zhang Qian?" Wei Zun was stunned, but he had been yearning for the characters in the textbooks of later generations for a long time.
Yan Dan didn't know why, he was more anxious than classmate Han, and he didn't care about regretting the chess, so he directly wiped the chess pieces on the ground with his big sleeve, and instructed the slave to say, "Please." ”
"Wow. He stepped back.
Wei Zun pursed his lips and said as he got up to tidy up his appearance: "Remember that you owe me again." ”
"How come I didn't know I owed you?" Yan Dan rubbed the tip of his nose with his right index finger, looking like a scoundrel.
Yan Dan is a scoundrel, no one has a problem......
Zhang Qian was dusty, his face was plateau red, his face was resolute, his figure was strong, he was wearing a crown, he was over twenty years old, and he was accompanied by two servants behind him, carrying a six-story high gift box.
"Zhang Qian greeted His Royal Highness the Prince. ”
"Hurry up, you don't have to kneel. Yan Dan held the person up, set it up, and didn't let him kneel.
"Thank you, Your Highness. Zhang Qian's eyes were grateful, and he was sincerely afraid that he would be led into the house by Yan Dan.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, he asked the servant to carry the gift box in, closed the door and exited, and then said: "The minister recently went to Buyeo Kingdom, and their king heard that I was strong and prosperous, and he admired it very much, so he specially asked me to bring a gift to His Royal Highness the Prince, and told me to present it to His Royal Highness in person." ”
"Huh?" Wei Zun was stunned, feeling a little strange in his heart, what did he do with Yan Dan for no reason?
After thinking about it for a while, it was probably because the king of Buyeo wanted to invest in the future emperor of Korea and make a good impression......
But this gift is definitely not something to ask for.
In Korea, the emperor, empress, crown prince, and minister are always the emperor, empress, crown prince, and minister when it comes to diplomatic matters and tribute...... In this order, respect and humility cannot be messed up, there is a prince, there is no emperor, some people will be unhappy.
Yan Dan didn't seem to have accepted such a gift for the first time, and asked familiarly: "Did Fuyu bring a gift to my father?"
Zhang Qian said respectfully: "I brought it and presented it to the king in the form of tribute." ”
Yan Dan nodded: "That's good." ”
I was a little moved in my heart, this king of Buyeo can be a man......
Seeing that Yan Dan responded, Zhang Qian opened several layers of gift boxes one by one with a smile on his face, all of which were rare things, thousand-year-old ginseng, mink, deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum, etc.
Now Yan Dan is even more moved, the friends are very sincere, and it seems that they can be more tolerant of Buyeo in the future.
"I have accepted the gift, and if I have the opportunity, I will greet the king of Buyeo on my behalf. ”
Zhang Qian will definitely bring His Royal Highness the Prince's words. Zhang Qian's face was red, and his heart was excited.
"You're glad you're in for a while. Yan Dan patted him on the shoulder, glanced outside the door and said, "It's not early, stay and eat." ”
Then he shouted outside the door: "Prepare for a meal, ask for beef." ”
"Wow!" the slave immediately responded.
At this time, Zhang Qian's eyes were even red, and he was treated with the specifications of the princes, and the person who was a confidant died, and he was so moved that he almost cried bitterly, and he came down with tears.
Wei Zun smiled secretly beside him...... Damn, the prince is good, a casual sentence or two can make people loyal and convince people's hearts, or the kind that is desperate.
was entertained by the future emperor and became a guest, the future is certain, everyone is drunk if he is not drunk, Zhang Qian can't control his mouth.
Wei Zun wilted and began to trick others.
"Brother Zhang Qian, I'm very puzzled, why did you think of running to a wild place like Fuyu Kingdom?"
"My father taught me to travel and see more when I was a child, so that I could see and make friends from all walks of life. ”
"Oh?" Wei Zun was surprised, how did this way sound a bit like Tian Wei's meaning?" "Brother Zhang Qian, then how did you meet King Buyeo?"
This is what Wei Zun is most puzzled about.
You must know that in this feudal era, the dignity and the lowly, the hierarchy is strict, not to mention the palace, even if it is just a small official, the poor people can't enter the door of his house, you say to visit, people haven't heard of your name and won't meet at all.
You Zhang Qian is just a commoner, maybe you have a little fame in Korea, but you went to Buyeo Country and you are not familiar with the place, who knows which onion you are?
Zhang Qian's face was flushed, his forehead was sweating, he chewed on the beef in his mouth, half a bowl of rice wine was in his stomach, he burped "hiccup", and his eyes were confused......
"It's not difficult to see the king's little thing, we Koreans went to the Buyeo country, one is the different costumes, the other is the language barrier, it belongs to the rare and exotic, born to attract attention, I just need to go to the door of the Buyeo Palace and shout twice, I am Zhang Qian, a native of Chang'an, South Korea, was ordered to visit the king of Buyeo, there are big gifts, there are important things to discuss, please report. In less than an hour the king will receive him. ”
"Huh?" Wei Zun was stunned, could he still play like this?
Zhang Qian smiled and explained: "My Han has the power of heaven, its territory is vast, and its sound shocks all over the world, how can it be compared to the small Buyeo country? It is only a small country with a population of 200,000, and it is not even comparable to our vassal states.
Wei Zun: "......"
"When I see the king, everything will be easy......" Qian said.
According to historical records, Zhang Qian's life and early experience are unknown, and after Yan Dan Yan Dan ascended the throne, he served as an attendant named "Lang" in the imperial court.
The history books say that he was "a strong, lenient and trustworthy man," and had the fine qualities of perseverance, open-mindedness, and the ability to treat others with faith.
Born in 164 B.C., he was 25 years old when he went to the Western Regions.
In fact, before the age of 25, Zhang Qian was well-known in the vassal states and other peripheral countries.
Like Tian Wei, Zhang Qian is also a top master of networking.
The difference is that he took the international route, which was more difficult, but the harvest was greater.
In his early years, Zhang Qian often liked to go to some backward countries, such as Goguryeo, Buyeo, Nanyue, Minyue, Ouyue, Qiang and other small countries.
Neither to travel nor to invest, but to visit the kings and princes, prime ministers, and high-ranking officials of these countries.
In the feudal era, the portal was profound, and it was difficult for ordinary people and nobles to cross the class, but in Zhang Qian's opinion, this is not a thing, it sounds very laborious, but it is not difficult.
In these small countries, a friend from Chang'an, the imperial capital of Korea, wanted to meet the king and ministers, and he could make an appointment in advance, and if he was lucky, he could be received immediately.
The Koreans talk about etiquette, and Zhang Qian sees that the leaders of small countries are never empty-handed, and they give fake antiques at the level of jade and bronze bells of the Warring States period......
Korea has counterfeiting technology, but foreign countries don't, and the king of friendly countries probably would never have thought that a Korean would sincerely come all the way to send him some fake antiques.
In addition to sending fake antiques, Zhang Qian will also send some Korean calligraphy and paintings, and when he and the king of friendly countries hold the calligraphy and paintings together, the entourage will record them in the form of sketches...... It's a stumbling drawing, but with the king's seal, it's different.
"Gifts and exchanges" is an international common rule, and the leaders of friendly countries will naturally give back some good things after receiving Zhang Qian's gifts.
In this era, there are no cultural relics, and most of the gifts are local specialties, such as deer antler and ginseng, which are not worth much in friendly countries, and can be brought back to Korea, which is really a priceless treasure.
After returning to China with a full load, Zhang Qian never took the gifts for himself, but began to contact some high-ranking officials in Korea, warmly informed a certain king that he had entrusted me to bring you a gift, and repeatedly told him to present it to you in person.
Compared to the top leaders in smaller countries, the senior officials in South Korea are much busier...... Even if you are not busy, unless you go to war or are ordered to go on an envoy, it is impossible to go to other people's territory in this life.
It's a bit strange to hear that a foreign king brings a gift to him, but he can't help but be moved, and no matter how busy he is, he must receive it in person as a sign of solemnity.
In this way, in the name of giving gifts for the king of friendly countries, Zhang Qian met several high-ranking officials.
No, even the future emperor of Dahan was tricked very early, and when he heard that Zhang Qian was coming, he first brought the beef to entertain others......
can eat openly in the official face, and in society, it is natural that more and more rich businessmen and celebrities take the initiative to befriend Zhang Qian, thinking that this person has a background, talks and laughs about kings, and is a prime minister...... There is the style of Su Qin and Zhang Yi.
