0247 Do not kneel
The civil and military ministers who went to the banquet in Jinyang Hall saw Emperor Zhou kneeling neatly and saluting, but in the huge palace, there were so many people sitting at the table motionless, and they didn't even look back, they just looked up inadvertently, and then lowered their heads to tease the dog cub in their arms.
Originally, due to the remote location and the fact that the tables and stools were half shorter than the surroundings, no one would notice them.
But because all the surrounding officials knelt down, they immediately stood out, and soon attracted the attention of Emperor Zhou and the delegations of various countries.
Emperor Zhou was furious, on such a grand and solemn occasion, someone dared not to bow down, isn't this a sincere attempt to seek death? But when he saw clearly the burly body with his back to him, he couldn't get out of his throat anymore.
Zhang Chaoyang!
The founding emperor of the Great Zhou State granted permission to be the only Wu'an Marquis who could see the king without kneeling!
Emperor Zhou secretly gritted his teeth, and after a thousand calculations, he actually forgot about this.
The will of the first emperor, even if it is Emperor Zhou, cannot be modified casually, it is a big matter related to the reputation of the royal family, so even if he secretly hates the dead father for making trouble for himself, but in this situation, he can't do anything except break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
"Zhang Chaoyang, you wait, wait for the end of the Jiujia competition, and see how I clean you up!"
Emperor Zhou regretted it.
He didn't want to invite Zhang Chaoyang to the banquet.
But considering that the representatives of the royal families of the six countries gathered in the palace, if the welcome team was missing the head of one king and four marquis, Wu'an Hou would inevitably be gossiped about, and he couldn't imagine that Zhang Chaoyang didn't know how to lift up, and he couldn't find himself happy on this grand occasion that would not necessarily have in the next few decades or even hundreds of years, so how could he not hate?
However, what made Emperor Zhou happy was that he did not arrange their seats in the middle of the high platform in the main escort area, otherwise, in front of everyone, the royal family's face would be embarrassed.
But Emperor Zhou didn't think about it, if he hadn't deliberately humiliated Marquis Wu An, how could Zhang Chaoyang, who had always put the overall situation first, not maintain the face of the royal family?
In the past, you didn't treat me as a minister, but now you want me to treat you as a king, even if Zhang Chaoyang is willing, Zhang Qingfeng will not agree, forbearance, there is a degree!
What's more, in order to tie up with the ill-intentioned Spring and Autumn Imperial Family, you let the three thousand Zhou ministers kneel for a long time, whether this is to show the etiquette of the Great Zhou, or to wag the tail and beg for mercy to the powerful country, a fool can see it.
Although far away, the royal delegation of the six countries still noticed the group of outliers in the corner.
However, everyone, including the Aquarius King, didn't care.
Not only that, but there were also people in the crowd whispering, and they could faintly hear that they were very strange to those ministers of Zhou who had been kneeling for a long time, but no one talked about Zhang Qingfeng and the others who were sitting at the table and did not move.
"Your Majesty the Honorable Emperor Zhou, although Xiao Wang is from the ancient country of the Spring and Autumn Period thousands of miles away, it stands to reason that he should not get involved in the internal affairs and state affairs of your country, but today the seven kingdoms are gathered together, it is a rare happy day, it is better to let the ministers get up and sit down and talk, what do you think?"
After entering the main hall and walking a few steps, seeing that Emperor Zhou did not mean to let the ministers get up, the Aquarius King said with a smile.
Emperor Zhou didn't expect the Aquarius King to speak for the ministers kneeling on the ground, his face froze, and he suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed with the voice of the Aquarius King, and he felt a void in his heart for no reason, but where the specific problem was, he couldn't notice it for a while, and hurriedly smiled and said: "It is rumored that the Aquarius King is kind-hearted and well versed in the hardships of the cold family. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The ministers were all fixed on the royal delegations of the six countries, and watched them walk towards the guest area in the middle.
"This Aquarius King is not simple. ”
Zhang Chaoyang, who had his back to the door, sighed.
Zhang Beitian nodded and said: "Yes, I won the favor of the ministers of the DPRK and China in just a few words, if I didn't know that he came to my Great Zhou for another purpose, even I couldn't help but be grateful to him." ”
Zhang Chaoyang said: "The seven countries of the Central Plains, each country has its own customs, the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom is the largest country in the Central Plains, and it is not happy to kneel at the beginning of the founding of the country, it is for this reason that the subjects of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom have a sense of superiority over the subjects of the other six countries, which is also one of the reasons why the Spring and Autumn Period is strong." Back then, the emperor allowed me not to kneel when I saw the emperor, but in fact, I wanted to imitate the Spring and Autumn Period, set a precedent in the court, and lay a foundation for changing this kind of superficial article of respect and humility in the future. ”
Zhang Beitian suddenly realized, and then he understood that there was this deep meaning behind the privilege of Wu Anhou not kneeling when he saw the emperor.
"Young master, the ninth princess is also here. ”
Zhang Qingfeng was lowering his head and teasing the two puppies to fight, when Du Dayan suddenly whispered in his ear, "Also, Miss Yun'er has also arrived." ”
"Really?"
Zhang Qingfeng raised his head, and sure enough, he found that there were two familiar and beautiful figures among the royal family members of the Six Kingdoms who were about to enter the VIP department.
Qin Yun'er, who was dressed in white and white dress, raised her head, looked at the high platform in front of her, looking left and right, as if she was looking for something.
Beside her, the Ninth Princess Tang Qianqian, who was half a head taller than her, was wearing a gorgeous purple palace dress with a waist and hips, and she was also frowning and looking back and forth, as if she felt Zhang Qingfeng's gaze, turned her head suddenly, looked at each other, and Tang Qianqian waved her hand in surprise.
At this time, Qin Yun'er also saw Zhang Qingfeng, and immediately overjoyed, and wanted to go this way, but suddenly thought of something, and retracted her foot.
Thirty percent of the more than 100 people in the royal delegation of the six countries were women, Qin Yun'er and Tang Qianqian's delicate and delicate, cold and arrogant beauty attracted the attention of those young sons and brothers from the moment they entered the door, and they saw the goddess-like two daughters in their minds waving at the same time to a wind direction, and hundreds of eyes chased after them, but in the end they found nothing.
Not only Qin Yun'er Ninth Princess, Zhang Qingfeng also saw several familiar figures in the delegation of the six countries, but his face did not show the slightest surprise, and he didn't even look at it when the Aquarius King appeared.
To have this concentration is not Zhang Qingfeng's pretense of coldness.
It's not that he has no fear, and he doesn't take the masters of the Six Kingdoms in his eyes.
Rather, because of everyone present today, including their entourage and how many guards they brought and the cultivation strength of the guards, Zhang Qingfeng had obtained a detailed information as early as a month ago.
The top nine competition is a matter of the survival of the Great Zhou, and Zhang Qingfeng must know himself and his opponent in order to deal with it calmly.
Those pieces of information with portraits are not easy to come by.
It has gathered the efforts of countless people.
Qin Fengtu, the patriarch of the Qin clan, made great contributions.
The ninth princess, Tang Qianqian, has made great contributions.
Black Dragonguard's brother toiled day and night.
And the first to be credited are the more than 2,000 Dragon Slayer League brothers who were sent back to China by Zhang Qingfeng!
They are the chess pieces that Zhang Qingfeng planted in the Central Plains.
It is said that the Spring and Autumn Demon Master is a last resort, but Zhang Qingfeng wants to see if the deified military master of the Spring and Autumn Ancient Kingdom is superior in chess, or is he the best in the Blue Emperor a thousand years ago!
