Zhang Yuzheng, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked to the front of the hall at this time, and asked the envoy of the Eastern Mu: "You open your mouth to be brutal, and you are a barbarian, why did your Eastern Mu Kingdom send you to our court as an envoy?" Your Dongmu country claims to be a ceremonial state, and since this is the case, isn't it self-deprecating to come to my court as an envoy? ”

Shao Xi secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart, he was right! Since you look down on us, you still run around and scream, isn't it boring for yourself? Even if you want to brush up on your sense of superiority, you have to see if your strength allows it! Isn't it enough to be beaten by Jing Yuanguo for so many years?

The envoy did not give in to each other, and replied: "The gentleman does not fight with the villain, even if there are evil neighbors in the family, he should go to congratulate him on the occasion of the festival, but if the evil neighbor asks me to enter the house and bow down, I will never obey, and the visit is out of courtesy, and it is a festival to be unyielding, how can I lose my integrity because the evil neighbor is fierce?" ”

The other party's words were sharp, and at a glance, he knew that he had come prepared, which made it clear that it was not an envoy visiting, but a sincere person who came over to make trouble, wanting to humiliate the Jingyuan Dynasty in front of the states.

For many years, the Eastern Mu Kingdom had been contacting the small states around the Jingyuan Empire to compete with the Jingyuan Kingdom for land, but each time they were beaten back.

When Xiao Baiting, the first ancestor of Jingyuan, founded the country, Dongmu was the main competitor, but it was only in the later wars that it fell behind, and it had to retreat to defend itself in order to occupy the two states in a corner of peace, but for many years it has not given up, and always wants to make a comeback.

Zhang Yuzheng didn't give in at this time, and said: "Since you call yourself a gentleman and know the etiquette, you should know that you should kneel down and worship the elders of the family in other people's homes, if you don't even abide by this most basic etiquette, how can you talk about the state of etiquette?" How can you call yourself a gentleman? ”

The envoy of the Eastern Mu Kingdom does not seem to be an idle person, and when he heard Zhang Yuzheng say this, he immediately sneered at each other: "Treat the gentleman with the sincerity of a gentleman, treat the villain with the courtesy of a gentleman, treat the gentleman with sincerity, from the heart, and treat the villain with the courtesy of a gentleman, how can it be from the heart?" It's just that I don't know the villain in general. ”

"Hypocrisy! What a hypocrisy! He still calls himself a gentleman, but he is just a hypocrite! ”

Shao Xi was just watching the excitement, but when he heard this, he was very unhappy, and he couldn't help but slip out of his mouth, which caused everyone in the hall to turn their heads to look at him.

When it was too late to find out that something was wrong, at this time, not only the officials and foreign envoys in the main hall, but even Xiao Changyi, who was sitting on it, looked at him directly.

Shao Xixin said badly, isn't it troublesome to interject on this occasion? What can I do? How does it end?

Now that it has become a tiger riding trend, the first sentence has been said in front of everyone's eyes, wouldn't it be very embarrassing to retract it like this? And it's not just your own face that you lose.

Thinking of this, Shao Xi turned his heart sideways, and simply stood up and walked to the hall.

"You just said that you treat a gentleman with the sincerity of a gentleman and treat a villain with a gentleman's courtesy, is your gentleman's way of Dongmu Kingdom so hypocritical? The way of a gentleman is to treat each other with sincerity, this sincerity does not distinguish who the other party is, to be honest with the gentleman, and to the villain with sincerity, this is the true gentleman; This is a hypocrite, and now you treat it differently with the sincerity of a gentleman, isn't it hypocritical? And the face to say? ”

Shao Xi breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Instead of being a hypocrite, it is better to be a real villain, at least the real villain is to show his true face, not disguised, not false, frank and unrestrained, more like a gentleman than those hypocrites." ”

The envoy was caught off guard by Shao Xi's words, and he didn't know how to refute it for a while, but just asked: "A gentleman is a gentleman, and a villain is a villain, how can you say that it is true or false?" Isn't it ridiculous that you, a yellow-mouthed child, dare to talk about the way of a gentleman and distort the reasoning of your ancestors? ”

"A gentleman beware of the same mouth, with courtesy in his mouth, and courtesy in his heart, if he is full of benevolence and morality, full of male thieves and female prostitutes, how can he be a true gentleman? To treat people with sincerity is to treat people with sincerity, to treat people with courtesy is to treat people with courtesy, and if you are not sincere in your heart, what is it if you are not a hypocrite with false courtesy? Now that you have sent to our court, you should be sincere in your heart, and now you talk about the way of a gentleman, but your heart is full of filthy thoughts, is this not a hypocrite? I understand this as a yellow-mouthed child, but you don't understand, don't you live in vain? ”

"You ......"

"What are you? Now that you are so rude, if you cause a war between two countries and the lives of the whole world are ruined, you will be unkind. If you are an envoy, you are an envoy on behalf of the country, the king, and the people, and if the people are killed, the monarch is affected, and the country is restless, you are unjust; It is rude to go to another country and be unruly and speak wildly; It is unwise for you to be quick to speak for a moment and cause the people of your country to suffer. Did the monarch send you to provoke a war? If so, why did you bring a letter of state instead of a war letter? If you can't fulfill your sovereign's wish for peace, you are unfaithful; What is the face of an unkind, unrighteous, rude, unwise, untrustworthy man standing here? ”

The envoy was speechless by Shao Xi, and his teeth itched with hatred, and he held back for a long time before he said, "You are a yellow-haired boy, a mere four-grade petty official, what qualifications do you have to teach the envoy here?" ”

Shao Xi was amused by him, and continued to reply: "If you don't teach it, it's my father's fault." If the teaching is not strict, the teacher is lazy. Since your father and your teacher have not taught you benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, then let me, a yellow-haired boy from a barbarian state, teach you, don't you claim to be a state of etiquette? Even this truth needs to be taught to you by the barbarian state, do you still have the face? Now it's okay that I, the four-grade petty official, have come to teach you, but if someone else teaches you, I'm afraid you will have to learn again in the next life. ”

Shao Xi's continuous output like a machine cannon completely extinguished the fire of the Eastern Mu envoys, his face flushed, and he was extremely embarrassed to stand in the hall.

Seeing that the opponent's blood bar had bottomed out, Shao Xi planned to quickly replenish the knife and end the battle completely.

Shao Xi turned around and bowed solemnly to Xiao Changyi, then said, "Your Majesty, since the envoys of Dongmu are unwilling to bow down, it is difficult for a gentleman to be strong. As for those hypocrites who are full of gentlemen's ways, but do their best in private, and provoke others to start wars, I believe that the eyes of all the states and countries in the world are bright, and they will distinguish between right and wrong. ”

At this time, Xiao Changyi's heart was so cool! Originally, Dongmu's envoys were rude, but he was already unhappy and unhappy. Although Zhang Yuzheng stood up to argue with him, it could only be said that he was evenly matched, and if he continued to argue, in the end, it could only be fruitless and inconclusive.

The purpose of the Dongmu envoy's trip was to humiliate himself in front of many foreign envoys, if he endured it, he would lose face, and if he was angry and really killed him, it would be equivalent to confirming the conclusion that he was cruel and unkind in his mouth, and that he was a barbarian state, which was to dig a pit for himself.

At this time, Shao Xi stood up and made the other party speechless, and the embarrassed person changed from himself to a Dongmu envoy, which made Xiao Changyi secretly happy in his heart.

Xiao Changyi waved his hand very generously, and said with a majestic face: "What Aiqing said is reasonable, I think that my Jingyuan Dynasty is a big country in Shangbang, how can I be like others, but I still care about this trivial matter, if I am not sincere, even if I bow down to me, I will not be affected, so I will be avoided." ”

Shao Xi exclaimed, "Good guy! You're more ruthless than I amend! I'm scolding them for being insincere, inconsistent, and playing tricks, you just scold people for being shameless, and be careful! ”

"Your Majesty is truly the king of the world! Sure enough, it is benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and honest, sincere and trustworthy, and it is also bright and open-minded, which is really the blessing of the people in the world and the blessing of the people in the world. ”

Shao Xi's words sounded like he was praising Xiao Changyi, but in fact, he was satirizing the emperor of the Eastern Mu State for his lack of morality, righteousness, hypocrisy, ignorance, dishonesty and trustworthiness, and insidious, treacherous, narrow-minded, which is really a disaster in the world and a disaster in the world.

This means not only Xiao Changyi, but everyone present who is a little more active understands the meaning, and the envoys of the Eastern Mu State naturally understand it.

But this is a dark loss, you have to eat it, you have to eat if you don't eat, people praise their emperor, what are you not happy about? Not happy is that you are careful.

At this time, the face of the Dongmu envoy was as ugly as a pig's liver, and he was going to die. Now, if you don't kneel, you don't know the etiquette, and you are cautious and suspicious; If you kneel, you will lose, and you will be completely softened; If you flick your sleeves and leave, all right! That is, you have a narrow temperament, no grace, and you have lost the body of the Dongmu country.

Shao Xi looked at the envoy like a stroke patient who had been bedridden and paralyzed all the year round and had just stood up, his legs were stiff and standing in place, not standing, kneeling, not walking, looking like he was about to fall, and secretly laughed in his heart, just one word - should!

Zhang Yuzheng stepped forward a little gloatingly, stretched out his hand in the direction where the envoys of various states were sitting, and said: "Holy Kuande, allow you not to kneel, if you do not have a national letter or national ceremony, Your Excellency will please go directly to the table!" ”

Let's just say that these people are losing a lot! How can you bury people? If an envoy doesn't even bring a national letter and a national gift, isn't that a shame on the dead?

"I am an outstanding person in Dongmu, and there are countless treasures in heaven and earth, how can there be no gifts? The things that are given this time are rare in the world, and they are extremely precious, and I am afraid that you Jingyuan Kingdom has never heard of or seen it. ”

Shao Xi was unconvinced when he heard it, and he dared to brag about your baby in front of me, I would like to see what you said about heaven and earth.

"Then please ask your envoy to take out the treasure and let everyone open their eyes!"

With a proud face, the envoy of Dongmu presented the letter of state and a small gold box.

The father-in-law beside Xiao Changyi stepped forward to check it, and after confirming that there was no danger, he presented the national letter and gifts to Xiao Changyi.

After Xiao Changyi opened the gold box and took a look, he handed it to his father-in-law and asked him to show the contents of the box to everyone in the main hall.

When the box was handed to Shao Xi, he stretched out his head to look at it and couldn't help laughing.

"That's it? This is the natural treasure of your Dongmu Kingdom? Can you please stop teasing? ”
