"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire."

In the square in front of the noon gate, a uniform sound sounded.

The king was in power with a five-clawed dragon robe, wearing a gilded imperial crown, standing on the steps and looking down on these envoys from all over the world, and a sense of accomplishment that had never been felt before arose.

Although most of the countries present are small and unknown countries, and some will gradually collapse in the next thousand years, the feeling of holding the power of one country is very different from ruling many countries, and it is no wonder that the Great Qin Shi Huang wanted to unify the six countries with the strength of the country.

Emperor Shun was in such a hurry to send envoys to various countries, but he didn't want to be relieved by the king's authority in the end.

……

"Xing!"

As the shrill voice of the eunuch beside him sounded, everyone at the foot of the stairs slowly got up, and the king walked down the steps, greeting each other to the envoys of various countries who had come from thousands of miles here.

In the previous life, the royal authority had studied a little in various Chinese languages, but most of them were dirty words that could not be put on the table, so it was okay for him to greet other people's relatives, but it was a bit difficult for the monarch to greet the other party, and it could develop into a conflict of diplomatic relations if he was not careful.

Fortunately, the scholars of the dynasty all had real talents and learning, and the envoys of various countries had learned Chinese before they came, so it was not a big problem for the two sides to talk.

Wang Quanquan had seen envoys in different costumes as if he had gone through the motions, and he did not show too much curiosity about the appearance of these people like others, and his demeanor was in line with what an emperor of the Celestial Empire should be.

After greeting one by one, the rest of the matter will be arranged by the Ministry of Rites, and the royal authority only needs to wait for the banquet in the evening.

A small envoy with braided hair approached at this time, and the guards tried to stop him, but he was stopped by the king's wave of his hand.

He may not be able to tell which country he came from, but he can recognize at a glance that the person in front of him is from the Wa Kingdom that has been harassing the southeastern border of the dynasty for many years.

……

The envoys of the Wa Kingdom saluted the emperor of the dynasty, and then spoke in broken Chinese:

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Celestial Empire is above, and the minister is a subordinate of the Fuso General Genji, and he came to the Celestial Empire this time to borrow troops from His Majesty the Emperor.

General Genji was blessed by Amaterasu and was the king of the orthodox lineage of Fuso, but his brother did not follow the etiquette and law, and in vain he disregarded the grace of heaven, and divided the land against my Genji, and the rest of the minor generals also went their own way, and did not obey the dispatch, and hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would be the master of my Genji. ”

If it is placed in other small princely countries, this help will also help, but the Wa Kingdom has always been against the Central Plains, and the dynasty has not stopped for more than 50 years, and the royal authority wants them to be in chaos.

He patted the other party on the shoulder and smiled:

"You and I face each other across the sea, we are both close neighbors and friends, as the so-called lips and teeth are cold, I must help the land with this favor."

When the envoy heard this, his face immediately became happy, and he thanked him again and again, he didn't expect the Emperor of the Central Plains to be so easy to speak, and Wang Quanquan smiled and politely said a few words, which seemed to be nothing wrong.

Sending away the envoys of the Japanese State who had been thankful for their kindness, Lian Li, who was traveling with him on the side, said curiously:

"Your Majesty really plans to send troops to the Wa Kingdom?"

"Of course I want to go, but not now. The Shogunate War has been going on for two hundred years, and it is estimated that it will be chaotic for a long time after that, and the Genji general in his mouth is a short-lived ghost who will have to be done by his brother sooner or later.

When we first raise the country's strength, and then consider sending troops to the Japanese country, then we will say that we are entrusted by Genji to eradicate the remnants of the rebellion, and we will spend a lot of money on a trip far away, and it will be up to them to leave when they leave. ”

After Wang Quanquan finished speaking, he showed a sly smile, and even Li couldn't help laughing when he saw this.

"Your Majesty, do you have any deep hatred for them?"

"Oh, that's a long way to say."

……

Seeing that there was nothing going on here, Wang Quanquan was about to leave, when a man in an apricot yellow cloak walked over again.

The man looks less than thirty, his appearance is white and beardless, and he must be a handsome offspring who was kicked out of the threshold by a matchmaker, but it is a pity that he was born from the master of ceremonies and is a genuine father-in-law.

The father-in-law wears a yellow cloak, even a hundred heads are not enough to kill, but the cloak of Zheng Sanbao in front of him is a yellow coat given by the emperor and a serious child.

Zheng Sanbao came to the front and wanted to kneel down to pay homage, but Wang Quanquan stretched out his hand to stop him and said:

"Lord Zheng has been working hard all year round, and it is a great achievement in the dynasty, so there is no need to make this great gift."

Zheng Sanbao was not as sincere and frightened as an ordinary eunuch, obeyed the words of the Son of Heaven, gave a courtier salute, and said with a smile in the back:

"Sanbao is fortunate to live up to his mission and fulfill the entrustment of the first emperor, and now he has come to Beijing with his ministers a total of 82 envoys, representing more than 30 countries that are willing to make friends with our dynasty."

】

Wang Quanquan nodded and said with emotion:

"The Central Plains has always liked to call itself the country of abundance, but whenever there are a few small feudal states to pay tribute, they must install a majestic name of 'all countries come to court'.

Although the Central Plains is vast and rich, this move is still tantamount to sitting in a well and watching the sky, you have also traveled a lot of places over the years, and you feel that I am in this world where I am in this world? ”

This kind of question is often very fatal, if the answer is good, it will win the dragon's face, and the rich reward is indispensable, if the answer is not good, the official hat and head must be thrown away.

……

Zheng Sanbao has been adrift all the year round, and he doesn't know the temper of the new emperor, so he has to say tentatively:

"Back to Your Majesty, according to what the ministers have seen, compared with my dynasty, all the countries in the world are barbarians, they drink blood and do not follow the etiquette law, and some even live worse than livestock.

However, our dynasty still needs to be prepared for danger in times of peace, this time to the West, the minister in several Western countries saw the gunners and artillery, although the workmanship is rough, but the power is terrifying, enough to show that they have a deep desire to kill. ”

Zheng Sanbao said, secretly glanced at the Son of Heaven, and found that the other party nodded slightly, then let go of his courage and continued:

"Strange and obscene skills have always been despised by the mainstream of the literary world in my dynasty, and they are considered to be the techniques of pleasing women who are difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

Chen's family was poor since he was a child, and he didn't read many sage books, but he often went under the overpass, so he heard a lot of stories.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, people in the world wrote on bamboo slips, which were heavy and cumbersome and inconvenient to carry, and polymath scholars often had to pull three or five carts when they went out. Later, some people made paper with casua, after generations of improvement, the writing is smooth and white and dense, especially the rice paper produced in Xuanzhou at present, tough and can be moistened but not slippery, and it is the first choice for tribute over the years.

These things that benefit the country and the people used to be what the literati called 'strange and ingenious skills', but in retrospect, they often used them the happiest, and finally even reached the realm of poverty and luxury of 'the pen is not purple and does not write, and the ink is not used in pine smoke'.

But there is no taboo about this kind of thing in the West, people have no long-term concerns, there must be near-term worries, and the ministers think that they have to be prevented. ”

Wang Quanquan nodded when he heard this, how could he not know this truth, if he could, he couldn't wait to tell Liu Luming everything he knew.

Heavenly principles are in order, no one is allowed to change them at will, and all he can do is to make the royal family as stable as possible for a few more years under the premise of conforming to history.
