Chapter 161: Fighting for the King (1)
Wei Rou read two pages of the ancient tea scripture, and thought that she couldn't do such a thing as repairing books, so she couldn't help but be jealous and hateful.
Holding back, he praised Zhong Weiwei with a smile: "Zhong Tongshi is really worthy of being the daughter of Confucianism, this word is very well written, I think the content of this book is a little different from what I read before, it was corrected by you?" ”
Zhong Weiwei said: "Xiaguan doesn't have much money, and he only has so little ability left." ”
Empress Dowager Wei stretched out her hand: "Take it and I'll see it." ”
After a cursory look, he returned Zhong Weiwei and praised: "Yes, it's a pity to let you do Tong history in the inner court." ”
Concubine Lu was contemptuous: "Your Majesty treats you well, even the Lanjiang Tea Garden was given to you, so you just write a booklet and send him away?" Tate was stingy. ”
Zhong Weiwei just didn't hear it, so what's not?
She has no money, so she can't make a promise, right?
I'm afraid that she really promised herself, and all the women in the room had to pounce on her and tear her alive.
Lu Chun interrupted: "What's the matter?" Why hasn't Your Majesty come back yet? ”
Empress Dowager Wei asked, "What time is it?" ”
The palace man replied, "It's time for Shen." ”
"That's been a long drag."
Empress Dowager Wei and Concubine Lu's eyes were immediately separated, and she ordered: "Go ahead and inquire, what's going on?" ”
Zhong Weiwei didn't let go of this abnormality, and the string that had just been relaxed was tensed again.
She always felt that these people gathered here to celebrate Chonghua's birthday, and they came prepared, but they still had bad intentions.
Her gaze quickly swept over Lu Chun and Wei Rou, and she saw that these two people were both dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Wei Rou seemed to have encountered something good, radiant, and Lu Chun seemed to be hiding something on her mind, a little absent-minded.
The inquirer quickly returned: "Several neighboring countries have sent envoys to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday, and His Majesty has held a banquet to entertain the envoys, so the delay has been a little longer. ”
Zhong Weiwei was very happy.
Since Liguo lost to Dongling at the tea fighting conference for three consecutive years, several neighboring countries around it are ready to move.
A few vassal states even stopped paying tribute, and even took advantage of the fact that the first emperor was seriously ill and the situation in the court was unstable, so they had no time to take care of anything else, so they switched to Dongling.
Now they have sent messengers to celebrate Chonghua's birthday, and whether they mean it or not, it is always a good thing.
Empress Dowager Wei also looked very happy: "That's as it should be." ”
The person who replied said: "In addition, there was another incident, halfway through the banquet, an envoy of the Fanzhou Kingdom suddenly challenged His Majesty, saying that he wanted to ask Da Sicha for tea ceremony. ”
"Fanzhou? What's that? ”
The palace concubines exchanged heads and ears, and they all said that they had never heard of such a country.
Wei Rou smiled: "It must be a small country as remote as a night? I couldn't see Mount Tai in a blind, and after learning two tricks, I thought I was terrible. If he wants to challenge, he can challenge it? What a shame! ”
Concubine Lu couldn't get used to Wei Rou's frivolous appearance, and sneered disdainfully: "I can't see Mount Tai in one leaf, and the person who thinks I'm terrible after learning two tricks is not just Fanzhou?" ”
The palace people were cautious: "Several adults who are proficient in the tea ceremony were not convinced, and immediately said that they would fight him, but they all lost......"
Wei Rou was unconvinced: "Who are they?" ”
The palace man replied: "Even Lord Fan of Dali Temple has lost." ”
Fan Guohua, the secretary of Dali Temple, except for Chen Junqing, is one of the best masters in the DPRK.
If he loses, it means that this envoy of the Fanzhou Kingdom is really powerful.
Empress Dowager Wei sighed: "I didn't expect that after my Da Li lost three games in a row at the tea party, even a remote and small country that I had never heard of dared to come to the door to provoke." ”
Then he asked the palace people, "Do you know where this Brahma Zhou is?" What is the national situation? ”
The palace people are embarrassed: "Slaves and maids don't know ......"
Empress Dowager Wei raised her eyebrows and looked at Lu Chun: "Do you know the virtuous concubine?" ”
Lu Chun said calmly: "The concubine doesn't know. Zhong Tongshi has been a living man under the throne of the first emperor for four years, do you know? ”
Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Zhong Weiwei at the same time.
Zhong Weiwei really knew: "It's a subject country of Dongling, and it's about 108,000 miles away from us.
The country is also rich in tea, respecting the tea ceremony, Dongling's tea is not enough to sell, so I buy it from them, so I have accumulated a lot of net worth over the years, and my ambition has also grown.
I heard that they had just changed to an ambitious young monarch, probably looking for something to raise their value. ”
She didn't say the rest, but smart people like Concubine Lu, Empress Dowager Wei, Lu Chun and others all understood.
The way of the country, one after another, the decline of the Li State, the rise of the Fanzhou, the first to bear the brunt of the Li State, and then to have the confidence to argue with Dongling.
Empress Dowager Wei sneered: "Fan Zhou wants to take our place in the tea fighting conference." A small country also dares to provoke.
They must be beaten to the ground, and they must escape from Da Li with their tails between their legs to dissipate the anger of the palace. What did Your Majesty say? ”
Gong said: "Your Majesty asked Da Si Cha to come forward to entertain guests, but Da Si Cha ate a bad stomach and couldn't sit still, where can I still entertain guests."
Therefore, Ming Gongzi was sent into the court to entertain guests, and at this moment, Ming Gongzi should have been on his way to the palace. ”
The tea ceremony pays attention to inheritance, there is family inheritance, master and apprentice inheritance, Ming Gongzi is not surnamed Ming, but Chen Shaoming, the second son of Chen Junqing, the current chief tea of Liguo.
Because of his handsome and graceful and outstanding tea ceremony, he was called Ming Gongzi by the people of the time.
Chen Shaoming has won the true inheritance of his father, and has earth-shattering ambitions, has traveled and studied abroad all the year round, collecting the strengths of all families, with an elegant and calm style, and a very loud reputation.
Everyone sees him as a candidate for the next Daijicha.
His tea art is not comparable to Fan Guohua and others.
I heard that he was here to do this, and everyone was very relieved.
Empress Dowager Wei smiled: "It's just a small country, even if there is a powerful person, how powerful can it be?" It can't be more powerful than Mei Xun.
Passing on the decree of the palace, the envoy of Fanzhou and Chen Shaoming celebrated His Majesty's birthday, filial piety is commendable, regardless of who wins, the palace will reward him. ”
After all, the queen mother is the queen mother, she has experienced the influence of the family, and has seen the struggle for power and profit in the palace, so she characterized a provocation as a birthday celebration.
also took Fan Zhou by the way, filial piety is commendable, that is what can only be said to the ministers of the subject country.
All the palace concubines laughed and urged the palace people: "Hurry up and pass the word." ”
Zhong Weiwei was a little worried, feeling that today's things were not so simple.
The envoy of Fanzhou came to provoke, Da Sicha just had diarrhea, and Chen Shaoming could only go into battle, no matter how you look at it, there is a smell of conspiracy.
As it turned out, her worries were not unfounded.
Not long after, the palace people ran back and replied: "The envoy of Fanzhou may ask the Queen Mother, if he wins, what will the Queen Mother reward?" Can you reward him with the famous Chu Yu? ”
Chu Yu is a famous ancient jade, which is considered a national treasure of the Li Kingdom, and the envoy of the Fanzhou Dynasty made this request, which was really arrogant.
Empress Dowager Wei laughed angrily: "What can he come up with?" The rats also dare to think about Chu Yu? (To be continued.) )
