Chapter 371, sarcasm
I don't know if the Empress Dowager Xiang is in Liwei, anyway, she chatters on it, which makes everyone lose energy for a while, and no matter how good the gift is, there is no way to look at. γMartial Artsγ
Nie Fuyin only considered the importance of good gifts, but forgot that his official position would not be in the front of the list to give gifts.
Sure enough, he just accepted the gift from his family, and the Queen Mother was very tired.
Soon, a new order was issued from the eunuchs above, and all the gifts should be handed over to the palace, and they would not be presented here.
This time, many people's careful preparation is not needed.
Because just like Xiang Xiang's mother said, usually the emperor always sends good things to the queen mother, and her things can't be rewarded for three years and five years, which is absolutely true and credible.
Once this gift is handed over, it is a question of whether the Queen Mother will be able to see it three or five years later.
This is absolutely shocking news for those who are dedicated to brilliance.
Nie Fuyin is also worthless for Ning Caichen, and it is a waste to prepare such a good baby!
Is it a waste?Ning Caichen pouted.
Well, a musical birthday card is barely a waste in this day and age.
Just when everyone thought that this was the case, something happened suddenly.
Ning Caichen had a lowly official position and couldn't make it up, but it was still quickly reported what was going on.
It turned out that on the matter of this gift, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty did not listen to it. But the foreign envoys were unwilling.
They came to the Great Song Dynasty, what did we say about the coming of all countries to the dynasty and the weather of the country. But for them, they're here to cheat fools out of money.
If we are not allowed to give gifts, what should we do with this "return gift"?
And the gift we offer this time, who gives more and who gives less, needs to be compared at all. In this way, everyone will be able to know it next time.
Now that this is canceled, their little abacus will not be able to play, and they are naturally unhappy.
These foreign guests make a fuss, which is a big deal. Even if the Queen Mother was tired, she had to hold on.
Such a kingdom...... Alas!
No matter what they send, they can bring back ten times more profits. That's why they keep doing it.
"Haha! animal skin, ginseng?" When it was the golden man's turn to give a gift, he immediately provoked a burst of ridicule.
Other dynasties are fine, but this is a dynasty with developed commerce, and no one does not know the price of this wild fur.
In an era when nature was barely damaged, this wild thing was everywhere, and it was not rare at all, and there would be no animal protection organization, otherwise Wu Song would not have killed the tiger and became a hero.
Zhao Ji couldn't help but smile and said, "Since you're here, you're a guest." The Ministry of Rites does not lose our guests. β
"Yes, Your Majesty. β
The people of the Ministry of Rites responded, but they didn't forget to laugh: "This can also be called a country, it's really ......" I understand without saying it below.
Jin Ren's face turned red all of a sudden. This is anger, thinking that they have just defeated all the troops sent by Yelu Yanxi to suppress, and it is when they are arrogant, where will they endure the ridicule of the Song people.
A Chinese-speaking Jurchen stood up and said loudly: "Don't look at it as just a wild thing, but it is absolutely magical, and you don't have it in the Central Plains." β
"Oh, tell me, what kind of thing is that we don't have in the Central Plains. Zhao Ji didn't believe that there was anything in the world that he didn't have, so he asked casually, just politely.
I don't want the Jurchen, but I speak in a strange Chinese dialect: "The white-faced ape, although it is an animal, is good at knowing 3,000 small songs, 800 big songs, can sing the song before the feast, and is good at dancing in the palm of the hand. β
"Oh, are there such spiritual creatures in the world?" Zhao Ji became curious. ...,
"That's nature. "He was very proud.
"Let's take a look. "Zhao Ji likes these playthings the most, and he doesn't want to let go of them when he sees them.
As soon as the Jin man wanted to demonstrate, a man with five big and three rough men stopped him and said something in his ear, and the Jin man, who could speak Chinese, asked: "If there is really such a spiritual thing, what is Your Majesty willing to give back to our country?"
Don't perform and talk about the conditions first.
Zhao Ji laughed and said generously: "What you say, whatever you want, as long as we have it in the Great Song Dynasty, I can give it to you." β
Zhao Ji's generosity surprised Jin Ren. The monkeys they brought were immediately released.
Yes, the monkey is delicate, tapping the sandalwood board to have fun, dancing is extraordinary, and its skills are exquisite, which is completely comparable to high-level artists.
Zhao Ji saw that there was such a spiritual thing, and he immediately looked at it, and he hated to ask for it immediately, for him.
It's just that what this golden man sent was not good, but he sent a monkey, and he angered the jade pipa spirit on the spot. He said, "Hmph, it's just a monkey trickster, nothing remarkable." β
"Huh, Concubine Ai knows about this white-faced ape?" Zhao Ji said curiously.
I know, I know too much.
The jade pipa jing's eyes flashed with a cold glow, and he smiled and said: "Official, what's this? The concubine also knows that there are many apes in Huangshan, and in spring and summer, they pick mixed flowers and fruits in stone depressions, brew them into wine, and the fragrance strikes people. β
"Is there really such a supernatural monkey in the world?"
Jade Pipa Jing said: "Nature is true, monkeys are intelligent, and intelligent apes are also outstanding in terms of receiving human education or domestication, compared with other animals. Playing tricks to entertain people, climbing tall trees to harvest fruits, some simple and suitable skills, apes often learn at once. The white-faced ape is one of the best, and its main direction of attack is just good at singing and dancing in the eyes of the concubines. We also have artists in Bianjing from time to time to play monkeys. β
"I see. Zhao Ji laughed heartily.
He is the emperor, the leader of 40 million people, the master of millions of square kilometers of rivers and mountains, how can he have a state and he does not.
"Your Majesty. β
Without waiting for Jin Ren to speak, Zhao Ji waved his hand and said, "The envoy also heard it, this monkey is just a trick in my Great Song Dynasty, and it is not a rarity." β
This white-faced ape can sing and dance, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary monkeys. β
"Oh, then you let him sing. β
"Squeak-Squeak......"
It's just a single note, but no one can say it's not music, it's not singing. How much more can you ask for a monkey.
Jin Ren obviously also knows that in singing, this monkey is not much stronger, but he is a human being, he will speak, and will remedy: "Your Majesty, as long as Your Majesty can find the same monkey, no, as long as it is not a human, but you can be like my monkey, and you will admit that the Great Song Dynasty is rich and rich." Otherwise, Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty is a country of villains who do not keep their promises. β
This is really serious, rising to an international level.
"Presumptuous!" The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not dare to denounce such large countries as Liao and Western Xia, but they still dared to denounce small countries like Jin. "I am the country of the gentlemen of the Great Song Dynasty, and it has been ...... since ancient times"
"Hmph! "Jin people don't listen at all. What history, what inheritance. What is that? Is it something to eat, or something to drink.
They don't even have words now, saying that these are useful?
If it is useful, in history, the emperor of the Jin State Wan Yanliang would not have ordered the 57-year-old Song Qinzong and the 81-year-old Yelu Yanxi to play polo. Yelu Yanxi was good at riding and tried to break out of the encirclement and escape for his life, but was killed by random arrows.
But it's really going to be compared, everyone is bowing their heads and pondering, singers and dancers, there is no shortage of these big songs, but no one needs to dance and sing......
With his head down, there was gold on the ground, and he didn't say a word. ...,
At this time, the Jin people were proud: "I can't take it! This is a priceless treasure, how can you Song people have it?"
His pride was not by any means how precious this monkey was, but how much they could get in return after suppressing the Song people.
It's not for the sake of giving back, who came from Liaodong so far away.
I don't know anything else, but as long as you say that the Song people have nothing to say, you can get a lot of benefits from the Song people. This has been confirmed time and time again by other countries.
At this time, Nie Fuyin came out and played: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that there is something that no one can perform, and its sound is better than fairy music." β
"What is Aiqing talking about?"
Excitement!
With this excitement, he said loudly: "Your Majesty, Lord Ning of the Hanlin Academy presents a piece of "Shenjun Tianlu Music Map", this thing can be played by no one, there are songs and dances, it is a treasure of one top. β
The Jin man understood the Chinese dialect and said loudly: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible, yes, you must not be able to afford to lose, so what kind of treasure is this?"
"Nonsense! How could I do such a scoundrel?"
"Who said no. That is, last time, your country sent troops to fight with Liao. A sour leader led the army, making people foil and urinating, and the whole army was wiped out, not a big victory. β
"You're talking nonsense! Who do you say is the leader?"
"Then, it's Lord Xu Haixu of the military department. Saying that, Jin Ren pointed to Xu Hai, who was standing in the front row, with his hand.
Xu Hai had just finished presiding over the examination, and it was very likely that he would go further, but as soon as the news of his defeat was revealed, he was stupid on the spot, who betrayed him.
"Your Majesty, Your Minister......"
Just looking at his flustered appearance, Zhao Ji knew whether what Jin Ren said was true or false.
The Song people were defeated, and they were defeated at the hands of their own army. After learning about the cause and effect, the Liao envoy also raised his toes.
This is a defeat, but it is exalted by defeat...... This is simply the greatest ridicule in the world.
Zhao Ji saw it, but he didn't punish him, but said: "Since the envoys don't believe it, let's play it once." β
Xu Hai knew that he was finished. If he had known that this would be the case, he should not have come to this birthday banquet. If you don't come, maybe ......
There is no such thing as a possibility.
The envoy immediately went to find the "Shenjun Heavenly Music Picture".
However, this gift was so much that the envoys searched for a long time but could not find it.
And at this time, Jin Ren had something to say: "Why don't you play yet?
