Chapter 412: Scramble
When the first emperor was in power, he didn't say it, the commander of the Great Zhou army drove north, and smashed the Xiliang Dragon Court Shangyan, Xiliang was defeated, and had to bow down to the ministers, promised to pay tribute every year, and sent royal nobles to come and ...... Of course, because of this, there is Zhou Hexi and the current situation.
Later, the two countries made good friends, Xiliang obediently called the minister, after a long time, just wanted to move bad thoughts, the rise of King Sheng of the Great Zhou, the Xiliang people who fought three battles in a row knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, otherwise, Xiliang civil strife for decades, and every time there is a new lord, the first thing the new lord does is to show goodwill to the Great Zhou.
At that time, Xiao Yu was only fourteen or fifteen years old...... Zhou Hexi thought silently, and couldn't help but glance diagonally at the opposite side, although the speed was average, he was still captured by Xiao Yu. Since then, her face has been hot, and she no longer dares to raise her eyes indiscriminately.
However, Xiao Yu has been riding for decades, and his achievements are mainly in northern and southern Xinjiang, and the relationship between the Great Zhou and Xiliang has been quite harmonious for decades.
Babuzan's attitude is respectful, Xiao Yu's attitude is correct, and he toasts with dignity and courtesy, and drinks all the wine in the cup, which can be regarded as giving Xiliang a face. Although he was silent the whole time, Babuzan could not be more satisfied, and his joy could not be concealed.
Babuzan toasted Emperor Yongchang with the first cup of wine, the second cup to King Sheng, and when the third cup was served, everyone thought that she was going to give Princess Longyu, after all, she was in a high position, and after the palace change, she was even more important to His Majesty, and now she is the second highly respected person in the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty in addition to King Sheng.
Babuzan walked towards the other side with his glass in hand.
Everyone looked straight all the way, and Zhou Hexi secretly screamed that it was not good, and she was about to become a target again......
Sure enough, her intuition was very accurate, and Babuzan was served her a glass of wine.
"Venerable Southern Saint County Lord, please accept this toast from the minister!"
If there was nothing wrong with the ear, Zhou Hexi faintly heard a sigh, and after the sigh, there was a whisper from ear to ear.
Even, she clearly heard someone say, "There's a good show to watch now......"
Zhou Hexi naturally understood the meaning of these words, a little-known Houmen girl was not accepted by the circle since she was a child, and now even if she is raised high, her cultivation is not enough, and she is only embarrassed.
Zhou Hexi will never allow this situation to occur.
Beyond the expectations of the audience, it is a good show.
Of course, she had no intention of acting, and she didn't want to be brilliant, she just got up with an indifferent expression, raised her glass and said: "Welcome Xiliang and the delegation to our court as a guest, and it has been hard all the way." ”
After speaking, she drank it all, with a three-point smile in her eyes, Babu Zanda, violently drained the wine in the cup, and then praised Zhou Hexi, "The county lord is really Zhong Lingyuxiu, with an extraordinary bearing, Babu praises and admires it." The Great Zhou terroir nurtures people, and His Majesty the Heavenly Sage is deeply blessed. ”
Yongchang Emperor Long Yan Dayue.
Can you be displeased, Babuzan's mouth is so sweet, and he praises her openly, but in fact, he praised him, His Majesty the Heavenly Sage, so much that no one can close their mouths.
At the same time, Emperor Yongchang, like everyone else, was amazed by Zhou Hexi's performance, especially those who were waiting to watch a good show, all of them were surprised. A Houmen girl has such a bearing and demeanor, which is comparable to the noble daughter of the clan.
Everyone's exaggeration, Zhou Hexi was puzzled. In her opinion, just now it was just an ordinary polite remark, people have worked hard to pay tribute, you said a word of hard work, shouldn't you?
She didn't understand it, so she didn't want to think about it, in fact, at this time, her mind was already occupied by the unedible food in front of her, and even, after Babuzan turned around, she clearly heard the sound of herself swallowing saliva.
After a glance, she found that the corners of Xiao Yu's mouth were raised, with an unexplained smile.
"Huh", the roots of a woman's ears turned red.
Babuzan walked to the middle of the main hall and said respectfully: "On behalf of Queen Xiliang, the minister Babuzan pleaded with His Majesty the Great Zhou Tiansheng, and His Majesty Wangtian Shengsheng promised that the Lord of Nansheng County would visit Xiliang with the mission, and he would return in three months at most. ”
"I disagree!"
In the corner, Zhou Xiao almost jumped up and said.
The old father jumped to the end, and realized that he had lost his manners, but thinking about the safety of his beloved daughter, he couldn't take care of it at this time, so he hurriedly trotted to the middle of the main hall, knelt down and said: "The minister does not agree, Your Majesty!" Not to mention that the little girl grew up in Da Zhou since she was a child, and there is a serious danger of Xiliang who has traveled thousands of miles away, and said that Xiliang has just been settled, and the surrounding areas are not satisfied, and wars are raging, and the minister does not think that now is a good time to visit relatives and friends. ”
Emperor Yongchang: "......"
He had always known what kind of virtue Yi'anhou was, but it was true that he really didn't want to see this kind of virtue. The Son of Heaven didn't say anything, he took a step first and didn't say anything, and decided for him.
It is true that Zhou Hexi is the daughter of the Marquis of Yi'an, first and now she is the county lord of the Great Zhou and Xiliang, and her identity is not as good as before, as for whether to go to Xiliang or not, and when to go, it is naturally up to him to decide.
Emperor Yongchang twitched the corners of his mouth a few times, and he was very unhappy in his heart.
However, at this time, the situation was not good, so I had to say magnanimously: "Aiqing is reasonable, now is indeed not a good time to go to Xiliang." ”
He was also not in favor of going, because he didn't want to pay for it.
Nonsense, the county lord of Nansheng is a special existence for Da Zhou, such a unique county lord went to Xiliang to visit relatives, how could His Majesty, as a Tiansheng of Xiliang, not let him go empty-handed, isn't that a scolding...... Therefore, the best outcome is not to go.
This is the same reason as sending troops to Xiliang at the beginning.
When Zhou Xiao heard this, he quietly wiped a handful of sweat and was grateful to Emperor Yongchang.
Babuzan seemed to be prepared, and said in a sincere tone: "My Xiliang king's capital Shangyan is flat, the west is by the sea, and the climate is the most suitable. What's more, the diet and rest can be completely according to the county lord's preferences, and please rest assured that His Majesty the Heavenly Sage and Yi'an Hou can rest assured. As for the external troubles of Xiliang, it does exist, and the combined armies of Che Chi, Da Clan, and Yuewu frequently harass my borders and try to devour my Xiliang, however, Your Majesty the Heavenly Sage, please rest assured, my king does not take these fleas in his eyes. ”
Flea...... Hehe.
Not only Zhou Hexi and others, but Emperor Yongchang also wondered where Babzan's self-confidence came from.
"Although my king is a woman, he has been fighting horses for half his life, brave and good at fighting, when the minister comes, my king has a word first, and within three months, the three armies will be defeated and flee!"
Everyone: "......"
Courage is commendable, huh......
Emperor Yongchang: "......"
Although I also want to laugh, but my identity is really not allowed, and if I accept a generous gift from others, I have to face others, otherwise, I can't get over my face.
So, he nodded and firmly agreed, "What Aiqing said is very true, just three small countries, not enough to worry about." ”
Hopeful? Babuzan was overjoyed, and once again proposed to invite Zhou Hexi to the west, Emperor Yongchang was thinking about how to refuse, Yan Ji suddenly got up and said with a smile: "It's really unfortunate, I also intend to invite the Southern Saint County Lord Deep Valley to visit." ”
Ahem...... Zhou Hexi was choked by Yan Ji's words, and secretly poked and complained, this Yan Ji, what kind of mess, what kind of excitement!
