Chapter 54: Birdman
Izumo Province is actually one of the order countries of the Wa Kingdom, which belongs to the mountain **, commonly known as Yunzhou.
The current Wa Kingdom is in a period of war and division, and the princes of various places are fighting for power and profit, and Izumo Province is one of them.
In this era, under the whole world, the Ming Dynasty is respected. As long as you can hug the thigh of the Ming Dynasty and get the support of the Ming Dynasty, it is not a matter of minutes to lead the Wa Kingdom?
Therefore, there are also many princes in the Wa Kingdom who have such thoughts. For example, Yanagi Danma Shou chose to take refuge in Shenhou. And the king of Izumo Province chose to be peaceful.
Now, the team has come to the capital.
After all, the Ming Dynasty is the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and even if the Izumo Kingdom sends a princess, it is not so easy to see the emperor, and you have to listen to the announcement.
However, under normal circumstances, in order to demonstrate the great power of the Celestial Empire, there are generally foreign envoys who come to the court, and the emperor will personally receive them, and then reward some treasures. It can be said that in this era, tributary China is definitely a good deal, let alone a friendly one. can marry the Ming Emperor, can the benefits be less?
Naturally, the Izumo Kingdom delegation can't be hasty, and it can't fall into the prestige of the Heavenly Empire, all the procedures are arranged, and the time for the Izumo Kingdom is already too late, Ye Jun simply waved his hand and asked Guanglu Temple to prepare a dinner party and receive the Izumo Kingdom Mission.
Historically, whenever a foreign mission arrived, a banquet was indispensable.
What's more, Ye Jun also had other considerations for holding a dinner.
If he had guessed correctly, the real Izumo Kingdom mission would have been destroyed long ago. And the envoy who came to the capital was actually a subordinate. For example, Karasuma, for example, the princess who seems to be beautiful, but in fact has a bigger bird than a man, is also a shemale pretending.
Kamihou sent these people to pretend to be an envoy from Izumo Province, saying that it would be impossible without trickery.
Therefore, Ye Jun simply gave them a chance.
As soon as the preparations came down, at night, the entire palace was brightly lit. The Ming Dynasty originally held a banquet in the Fengtian Palace, but since Emperor Xuande, it has been changed to the noon gate.
When night fell, a shrill voice rang out:
"The Emperor has arrived"
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
The sound of music sounded, and Ye Jun personally helped this noble old lady to take a seat.
"Huang'er, I heard that you haven't gone out for more than a month in order to make alchemy for the mourning family? Look at your skinny ...... The mourning family does not ask for a miracle medicine, you come to see the mourning family more, and the mourning family will naturally live a hundred years! The Queen Mother clapped his hand and whispered.
"The son is ashamed!" Ye Jun sighed lightly. In the final analysis, he has nothing to do with this old lady, and it is really difficult to be filial to his mother and son every day. Moreover, Ye Jun knew that the old lady in front of him seemed confused, but in fact, she understood everything in her heart. The first person to see that the gods had different intentions was the queen mother. Ye Jun was also worried that he would contact the other party too much, so that the other party would notice something.
"You, since you were a child, you have liked to dance with guns and sticks, and you haven't pulled down the things in the court, so I don't care about you. However, you don't have a son and a half daughter until now, how can you let go of the queen who calls me a mother? If I go one day, I won't have the face to see your father. The Queen Mother said earnestly, "Today is a good opportunity, although Izumo Country is a small place, but most of their princesses are also beautiful women, if they look good, they will be recruited into the palace, if they can give birth to Lin'er, it is nothing to be crowned an imperial concubine." ”
Ye Jun dared to refute, he could only smile bitterly and nod at the same time.
The emperor and the queen mother have arrived, and the next is the prince and minister, led by the iron gall god Marquis Zhu Ignorance. Then the officials above the fourth rank took their seats in turn. Officials below the fourth grade can only stay outside.
Next, the ministers saluted the emperor and the queen mother, and then the priest played a song and danced.
The music and dance are also exquisite. If it is a normal banquet, it is the "Song of the Flame Essence", which is the song of merit. However, when summoning foreign envoys, in order to show the prestige of a great country, they will change the "Song of the Imperial Wind" and dance differently. The dance is a martial dance, called "The Dance of Pacifying the World" to dance the sword and sword, the momentum is extraordinary, giving the foreign envoy a dismount, just like the future generations to invite foreign guests to participate in the parade.
At this time, the Izumo Kingdom envoy group was waiting outside, and they could see this dance of warriors. When the dance music was finished, I heard the call:
"Announce the mission of the Cloud Kingdom!"
The two walked in through the door.
This is Princess Toshihide of Izumo Province and the messenger Karasuma. As for the others, they are not qualified to enter the main hall at all.
"Izumo country's envoy Karasuma pays a visit to the Ming Emperor!" Karasuma is a middle-aged man with a face full of meat, and he looks like a corrupt official with a fat brain and fat intestines. But no one would have thought that this person's martial arts were extremely high, and even Duan Tianya was not sure that he would be able to defeat Karasuma.
Next to Karasuma was a woman in red, veiled, with her head down, unable to see clearly. But judging from its graceful posture, it is definitely not bad. It's impossible to send a kiss if you look bad.
Looking at the back of this figure, it will definitely kill thousands of troops in seconds. It's a pity, it's a birdman! Ye Jun felt a pity, why are all good-looking men?
The Queen Mother, who was sitting next to the emperor, nodded with satisfaction and said in a low voice: "Emperor, I think the princess of Izumo Kingdom is quite good, otherwise this matter will be decided, right?" ”
That's it???
As soon as he thought of the flower candle in the cave room, the other party took it out and took it out bigger than himself, Ye Jun suddenly shuddered.
"Queen Mother, let's take a look first!" Ye Jun snorted, waved his hand, and said: "Izumo Country Envoy Karasuma, you have just arrived in Daming, you haven't seen the customs of our Daming, tomorrow, I will let you and Princess Lixiu go around and feel the scenery of our Daming!" ”
Hearing this, Karasuma couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, we are here to make peace with our relatives, and we will put aside the matter of playing for the time being, and ask the emperor to decide on the matter of harmony first, so that we can go back and have an explanation." ”
Just kidding, set a kiss? Let me marry that "birdman"? Not even in name, it's disgusting!
"There's no hurry in this matter, drink! Everyone won't get drunk tonight! "Ye Jun raised his glass, what else could the others say?
A hint of anger flashed in Karasuma's eyes, but when he turned his head, he saw the Shenhou sitting next to him shaking his head slightly, and he could only retreat honestly.
"Li Xiu is willing to dance a sword for the emperor!" Princess Lixiu, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly spoke, her voice was as bright and clear as a silver flute.
"Oh? I didn't expect the princess of Izumo Province to dance with a sword? Ye Jun smiled.
"Slow!"
Suddenly, the Shenhou spoke out and said, "Today is a big feast, how can you dance with a knife and a gun?" What's more, wouldn't it be a capital crime to disturb the Queen Mother? ”
"Forget it, woman's family, what does it look like to dance with a knife and a gun!" The Queen Mother also waved her hand. Who doesn't want their daughter-in-law to be a well-informed lady? At this time, the queen mother's impression of Princess Lixiu was much worse.
Princess Lixiu could only retreat with an unwilling face.
Ye Jun could guess the other party's thoughts.
Princess Lixiu was originally sent by the Shenhou to assassinate him, most likely to assassinate him by taking advantage of the sword dance. However, Shenhou now knows that Ye Jun is strong in martial arts, and knows that if Li Xiu makes a move, he will definitely not succeed, but will expose himself. So immediately stopped Princess Lixiu. After all, when dealing with men, the safest time is still in bed. As long as Princess Lixiu becomes a concubine, there will be opportunities in the future.
