Chapter 54: The Mission Enters the Palace
"Adopted orphans?" everyone was shocked.
Fan Xian responded calmly: "It's just that the age is a little old, after Sean was arrested, the Northern Wei Dynasty was destroyed, the world was in chaos, and the Uesugi Tiger happened to emerge at that time." "The Supervision Yuan naturally has some other evidence, otherwise it would not have come to this conclusion, but one of Fan Xian's tasks on this northward trip is to confirm the division of the Uesugi Tiger.
"No wonder Uesugi Tiger is in a hurry to get Sean out. ”
"This is a big problem for the Northern Qi court. Fan Xian just said this sentence and stopped abruptly, frowning slightly, Begonia wanted Sean to die, the emperor wanted to imprison Sean and force him out of the temple, and Uesugi Tiger purely wanted the old man to have a happy old age, the three most powerful parties in Northern Qi, because Sean was alone, he turned into three forces with completely different directions, and there was really excitement to see.
Of course, Fan Xian also wanted to know the secrets of the temple, so he couldn't just be a person who watched the excitement.
It was late, and everyone was tired from the journey, so they began to arrange rest. As for tomorrow's arrangement, naturally there are relevant officials who have prepared the charter, and Lin Wen just picked a few important matters and reported them to Fan Xianyu. The most important thing for the Ming Dynasty was to enter the palace to face the saint, and then negotiate the exchange of prisoners at the Honglu Temple.
Fan Xian thought for a while and said, "It's morning to enter the palace, and as for the Honglu Temple in the afternoon." He turned to Lin Jing and said, "I'm going to trouble the deputy envoy." ”
"Your Excellency?" Lin Jing looked at Fan Zheng Envoy suspiciously, thinking that he couldn't make an important occasion to exchange prisoners and pay tribute, so how could he do it.
Fan Xian lowered his eyes slightly, and said quietly: "This official has more important things to do. "There are two pieces of paper for the prisoner exchange agreement, one white and one black, Fan Xian values the black paper more, he has already handed over Sean and the manager, so he naturally wants to confirm Yan Bingyun's location immediately.
............ Fan Xian sat on the carriage to the Northern Qi Palace, yawning for a long time, he was not a delicate person who chose a bed, but he really didn't sleep well last night, and then looked at Gao Gao and Wang Qinian who were following him, and they seemed to be tired, it is not difficult to imagine that the personnel of the mission had collective insomnia last night.
Anyway, when he was about to go to bed last night, the young secretary Wei Hua of Honglu Temple came again, although he did not enter the backyard, but several Kaki beauties carried a gust of incense and ran into the room of Lord Nanqing, and everyone shouted in shock for a while.
How did Fan Xian know that this Northern Qi actually had such rules for accompanying the bed, and he was bluffed, although looking at the half-kneeling girl at the foot of the bed looked good, and her big eyes were watery and very tempting, but when she first came to Beijing, it was so ridiculous, Fan Xian still couldn't do it, so she had to ask her out.
Being made by this commotion, naturally few people slept well, but a kabuki entered Lin Jing's room and never came out.
While eating breakfast, Fan Xian looked at Lin Jing's face and was not very good. Lin Jing was a little surprised, and explained with a smile that even when the Northern Qi delegation went to Kyoto, Honglu Temple was also arranged like this.
............ Fan Xian wiped the corners of his eyes, found that there was a lot of in his eyes, and then glanced at Wei Hua, who was a hundred times more godlike in front of the team, and couldn't help but curse a few words in his heart, guessing that the other party was probably deliberately tossing.
The mission is actually the same as the business trip of the previous life...... Almost. Fan Xianzuo thought so. The carriage walked very smoothly, he greedily lifted the window and looked at the scenery on the street, and finally came to Beijing in Northern Qi for a trip, and he didn't even look at the street scene, so he was going to enter the palace to kowtow, which was really a little unpleasant.
Get off the carriage, enter the palace, pile up a smile, stroke your hands, step into the deep doorway, suddenly see a light, the light is a heavy eaves, ten thousand palaces, the palace buildings are mostly black sè, solemn and incomparable, there is still a trace of fresh ancient style.
Fan Xian was slightly stunned, paused in place, and looked at the palace in front of him, just like when he first arrived outside the capital, and he was a little distracted. The palace of the Northern Qi Dynasty is really very different from the palace of Qingguo, not to win by vastness, but layer upon layer, looking beautiful and quiet, it seems that every black beam and pillar are telling the story that has happened in this palace, and every long wooden corridor is telling visitors how many great people in ancient times have gently stepped through.
The envoy was silent, and the seven tiger guards naturally couldn't follow them into the palace because they were carrying long knives, so they stayed outside. Following Fan Xian, in addition to Lin Wen, Lin Jing, and Wang Qinian, they were some necessary officials of the Ministry of Rites in the mission.
I don't know how long I walked, walked through the corridor, passed by the flowing water on the side of the corridor, gradually went up, and finally came to the main hall of the Northern Qi Palace.
The inner guards in front of the hall stood awe-inspiring, resolute, and at a glance, they knew that they were at least masters of the seventh grade.
Outside the heavy wooden door, a eunuch leader was waiting half-bent.
Everyone walked lightly to the front of the hall, the eunuch leader opened his eyes, glanced at these southern barbarians weakly, shook his hands to whisk the dust, and shouted in a male duck voice: "Nanqing envoys have arrived!"
The eunuch's voice was not loud, but the two wooden doors behind him slowly opened in response, revealing to the visitors the true face of the power center in the north of the continent.
............ The main hall of the Great Qi Palace is extremely magnificent, the internal space is very large, and the heavy eaves above are all made of extremely expensive glass, so the sky light penetrates into the hall without covering, and the yīn forest smell that is common in the palace is blown away, and it is clear and cool.
The two sides of the palace are columns made of unknown materials, which are used as supports. The top of the column is painted with black sè, decorated with gold patterns, and each pillar has a picture of the dragon entering the clouds, which looks beautiful and beautiful.
Behind the column are layers of gauze, and there is a figure behind the faint sway, I don't know if it is a palace maid or a eunuch.
When he entered the hall, the first thing that caught Fan Xian's eyes was what he remembered deeply, was the long straight road in front of the door, and there were two pools of clear water on both sides of the straight road!
The mission, led by the eunuchs, slowly moved along the straight road. The Qingguo officials who entered this palace for the first time, like Fan Xian at this time, were inevitably shocked in their hearts -- the straight path under their feet was actually made of green jade! There was a gorgeous blanket on it, and the feeling of the soles of their feet falling on it was extremely gentle.
And the clear water on both sides of the straight road is even more unexpected to everyone, in such a big palace, there are actually two pools! The pool water is extremely clear, there are still golden fish swimming freely in the water, if the eyesight is sharp enough, like Fan Xian, you can also see the deepest part of the clear water pool, there are two big fish, black and white, are graceful and luxurious with their tails, lying on the white sand.
Deputy envoy Lin Jing looked at the scene in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Such a luxurious palace is enough to see what kind of national and financial resources the Northern Qi Dynasty has after inheriting the family property of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the largest country in the year. ”
After the long road, it is where the ministers of the Northern Qi Dynasty are located, the water waves behind them are light, the hall is gradually rising by the breeze, and the ground is paved with sandalwood planks, a solemn sù mu.
High in front of him was the dragon chair, and the Son of Heaven of Northern Qi was looking at the foreign envoys who were approaching with interest at this time.
The envoy knelt on the floor and bowed to the enemy emperor as a courtier, saying long live.
"Flatten. The Northern Emperor smiled slightly, it seemed that it was indeed a very comfortable thing to be able to make Nanqing's courtiers bow at his feet.
Fan Xian secretly exhaled and stood up, but found that a pair of eyes were on his face, he was a little surprised, and when he looked back, he found that the young emperor on the dragon chair was looking at him with a somewhat warm eye.
This young emperor of Northern Qi has only been in power for two years, and he should only be seventeen years old this year, the same age as himself, the teacher in terms is the second son of Zhuang Mohan, and the teacher in martial arts is the eldest apprentice of the Kuhe national teacher. This person is not a good woman, and the emperor of Qingguo is somewhat similar, a little playful, respectful, fearful and angry for the queen mother, and rewards more and less punishment for the ministers.
Well, the young emperor seems to still believe in such a thing as love.
This is the first lot of information that came to Fan Xian's heart when he saw the slightly immature face of the Son of Heaven. But he immediately knew that he had been rude, and when the lord of a country looked at him, as a courtier, he had no reason to look at the other party.
So he quickly bowed his head slightly and stood aside in silence, but he was puzzled by the ambiguous eyes he had seen before.
Lin Jing's sonorous voice beside him sounded, and as a deputy envoy, he reluctantly shouldered all the complicated etiquette and official duties under the condition that Fan Zhengzhi was extremely lazy - at this time, he was reading the national letter written by His Majesty the Emperor of Qingguo.
Fan Xian listened casually on the side, knowing that it was just some high-sounding words, the friendship between the two countries is eternal, brothers from generation to generation, these lies can't even deceive Dong'er, who sells tofu in Lanzhou, but he still has to read it solemnly.
Sure enough, the young emperor of the Qi Kingdom, His Majesty, was constantly bowing his head slightly, expressing his approval of the peer in the south.
Fan Xian laughed in his heart, but he smiled respectfully and self-containedly, as if he had reveled in the friendly atmosphere between the two countries. Immediately afterwards, the officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Northern Qi Dynasty came out again, and according to the usual babbling American exports, this matter can be regarded as a preliminary result.
But Fan Xian still felt very uncomfortable, because at this time, he found that in addition to the young emperor, there were many more pairs of eyes looking at him, no matter how steady he was, he began to wonder.
In fact, it is the Northern Qi ministers who are wondering, everyone knows that the envoy of the Southern Dynasty this time is the generation of poet Fan Xian, so everyone is very interested, what is the appearance of the young romantic characters who can make the generation of everyone Zhuang Mo Han Yu return to the country, and now in the palace, this Fan Xian has always been golden-mouthed, and even the important things such as reading the national book are all handed over to the deputy envoy to do.
The ministers couldn't help but become more interested in this handsome young celebrity.
