Half a month later, a few days before the harvest festival.

A lot of news far away from the Luoyang area gradually spread back to Luoyang City through the mouths of some businessmen.

For example, the master of Qin was burned to death, the prince of Zhao was poisoned, the Taifu of Qi was stabbed eighty-one times at night, and the king of Wei was burned beyond recognition, but he survived by luck, and often woke up in the middle of the night, screaming and daring.

Don't happen too many things like that.

What's more amazing is that these things only happened to countries other than Chu and Zhou, and they were basically limited to being burned, poisoned, and stabbed.

Such an obvious countermeasure.

Who can't guess who did this?

And according to insiders, these guys, who were either dead or seriously injured, were all behind the scenes obtained by the Queen Mother Xiyun, through the interrogation of those assassins.

Basically, the Assassins were sent to do something.

In what circumstances did he die.

It can be said that a proper person has repaid the present world.

Now the vassal states are not only panicked by the surviving nobles who directly ordered the action, but also indirectly and even directly by the princes and kings who took the orders.

After all, King Wei is a lesson from the past.

How can they not be worried?

Therefore, even if there was still a month before the tribute date set by Ding Yun's edict for them at this time, those princes and kings who had ghosts in their hearts had already left their respective capitals with escorts and rushed to Luoyang.

I want to show my attitude.

Show the attitude of compromising and never daring to make trouble again.

is also afraid of being killed in his own country.

The most important thing is that they privately feel that as long as they arrive in Luoyang, Mrs. Xiyun will not still do it directly in Luoyang, if they really do it in Luoyang, it will not seem that their Luoyang is too dangerous and in dire straits.

No one knows how Madame Xiyun pry open the mouths of the Assassins to get accurate information, and how she quietly manipulated those behind the scenes.

But precisely because no one knows.

It only shows the horror and incomprehension of Mrs. Xiyun even more, and makes those who know feel terrified.

At this point, the assassins of Luoyang City disappeared almost instantly.

Those behind the scenes did not hesitate to pay two or three times the price, and they were also hurriedly begging the Assassins not to come back, after all, they now knew very well that once the assassins failed, it was most likely that it would not be the Assassins but them, the people who hired the Assassins, who would die.

Who can stand this!

In addition to the fact that they did not have the corresponding ability to hire assassins, the more important thing was that they wanted to hide themselves and avoid exposing themselves.

And Ding Yun was able to do this, all thanks to the Wanjie takeaway software, the things sold in the interstellar world children's toy stores and pharmacies, such as hide-and-seek, which can only block the sight of the naked eye, and cannot block the invisibility cloak of various machine scans, such as the children's short-air personal sword flying machine, and the mutated giant mosquito insecticide.

Secret hands with a variety of toy drugs.

It's still relatively easy to carry out assassination.

As for priing open the mouths of those killers, this is even easier for Ding Yun, she can directly read other people's memories, and it is not easy to pry open the mouths of several killers.

Those guys are engaged in these conspiracies and calculations with Ding Yun.

It's really the wrong opponent.

……

Since the end of the autumn equinox, the major princes and kings have come to Luoyang one after another, and even the king of Wei hastened to give his eldest son and let his eldest son come over, for fear that he will not be able to keep the only breath he has left, and he really has to see the Hou Tu Niang Niang completely.

And then they also came to Luoyang in person.

See the bustling scene of Luoyang City with your own eyes.

Only then did I have to admit that the changes of current affairs, Luoyang City is indeed much more prosperous than the countries and capitals they have been operating for hundreds of years, these prosperous scenes, the hustle and bustle of the market are like thorns, deeply rooted in their hearts, and piercing their pride over the years.

In addition, it is more about giving birth to a sense of powerlessness.

Among them, the monarch of Qi is the most painful.

After all, the monarch of Qi has worked hard to recruit talents over the years, and he has built the Jixia School Palace, and he has given official positions to some talented people who have no aristocratic status, etc., but after tossing for so long, the improvement of Qi's comprehensive national strength is still not comparable with that of Zhou.

The difference between cloud and mud.

How not to be painful......

However, no matter whether these princes and kings were surprised or frightened, Ding Yun still arranged them to live in the princes' courtyard as planned.

And inform them to stay here first, and when everyone has arrived, the latest round of tribute ceremonies will begin.

The major princes have not come to pay tribute for many years, not to mention that people have come in person, but the number of times they send things is small, and it may be rare to send something a little one day, or which year they are happy.

To put it mildly, now those ministers in the court of the Zhou State don't know what the tributary ceremony looks like, and they have to turn over the ancient books to study on the spot.

Besides, it hasn't come to the day set at the beginning, it's because they are timid and afraid of death, so they came in advance, so let them wait and don't take it for granted.

More than half a month later, that is, three days before the deadline set by Ding Yun for them, all the major princes came, followed by the tributary ceremony, of course.

It's hard to say whether it's exactly the same as the canon more than 100 years ago, anyway, it's the Taishi Taifu who reproduced it according to the ancient book records in the Zhou State Collection, and even if it's not exactly the same, it should be similar to each other, and it's very different. Moreover, their Zhou State has not held a tributary ceremony for more than 100 years, which also means that other vassal states have also not participated in the tributary ceremony for more than 100 years.

I guess I'm not very familiar with this.

It's no problem to get a lake.

After all the princes and kings had made a big gift to King Zhou Jing and offered their respective things that should be tributed, King Zhou Jing followed Ding Yun's previous instructions and coughed dryly:

"Nian Zaier and so on now the country is vast, the capital is too far away from Luoyang, if it is like this every year, it is quite a waste of labor and money, so after that, the princes and kings will come to the tributary ceremony once every ten years, usually send a prince or minister to send things to it, by the way, if one day I Zen or collapse, the new son of heaven succeeded to the year of the tributary ceremony, you must also come to the gift.

In addition, the queen mother wants to build the Son of Heaven School Palace.

Teaching astronomy and geography, craftsman skills, all the principles of selling everything in Luoyang now, have been taught, read in the part that you can observe etiquette at this time, come on time, give you and other countries, a quota of 100 people in each country, and you will be sent a textbook and test paper to each of you later, and you will bring it back to teach and take the assessment by the way, all those who want to enter the Tianzi Academy to study must succeed in the assessment without cheating.

The queen doesn't like stupid people.

I don't like smart people who think they're smart.

At the beginning of spring next year, remember to come and report on time. ”
