The long wait outside the palace gate made Shao Xi feel very impatient, he had never been to the court in Jing Yuanguo, and he had never waited like this, and he couldn't imagine that the first time he went to court was actually in Nanzhao Kingdom. I really don't know how these officials in the DPRK and the central government got up early and waited in front of the palace gate in front of the palace all year round to survive? It doesn't look like this official is easy to do!

Finally, it was only when the eunuchs in the palace came to the palace gate and loudly announced the start of the court, that the officials sorted out their robes and marched into the palace.

Shao Xi, under the leadership of Feng Xianpei and Zhang Shou, also entered the palace with the civil and military officials, and came to the outside of the main hall to wait for the summons of the Holy Lord of Southern Zhao.

The emperor must first discuss the affairs of the court with the civil and military officials, and Shao Xi and Xu Maocheng can only wait outside the palace, and there is no way if people don't call him, but this time is too long.

Although Shao Xi looks calm, but in fact, he has already begun to scold his mother in his heart, you monarchs and ministers are chatting inside, and leaving me alone like a fool outside is really not authentic.

I don't know how long I stood there, but I knew that the sun was already high, and my legs were numb.

Shao Xi was about to go crazy, but he saw a little eunuch running out of the main hall and telling him that the Holy Lord of Nanzhao had announced that he had entered the hall to meet him, so Shao Xi took Xu Maocheng and walked into the main hall with the little eunuch.

Walking into the main hall, although Shao Xi didn't dare to look around casually, he also glanced around with the corner of his eyes, and saw that although the hall was not magnificent, it was also carved beams and paintings, which was quite luxurious. Shao Xi had never entered the main hall of the Jingyuan Palace before, but compared with the Lin De Palace, the main hall of the Southern Zhao Kingdom Palace was more spacious and magnificent.

Shao Xi came to the middle of the main hall, and at this time, the eyes of the civil and military officials on both sides were focused on him. Jingyuan and Southern Zhao have not had any contact with each other for more than a hundred years, and this time Jingyuan sent an envoy to Nanzhao for the first time in more than 100 years, so all the ministers of the Southern Zhao Dynasty want to see what gifts this Jingyuan Empire will bring when sending envoys to Nanzhao, and what conditions will be offered to Southern Zhao?

According to the etiquette of diplomatic relations, Shao Xi bowed his head and bowed to Zhao Hongjin, who was sitting on it, and said: "Shao Xi, the envoy of the Jingyuan Empire to the Southern Zhao State, has come to meet the Holy Lord of Southern Zhao!" ”

Zhao Hongjin, who was sitting on it, took a look at Shao Xi, and was secretly surprised in his heart.

Although I had heard that the envoy sent by Jing Yuanguo this time was about the same age as himself, when he really saw that the other party was so young, he couldn't help but sigh that Jing Yuanguo was really full of talents, and he didn't expect that such a young person would have reached the fourth rank and assume the responsibility of envoy.

"Your envoy doesn't have to be polite, please stand up and speak."

"Thank you, Holy Lord!"

After Shao Xi got up, he still respectfully lowered his hand and bowed his head to wait for Zhao Hongjin's question, since he was an envoy, he had to abide by the etiquette of an envoy, even if he was not used to it, he had to do it step by step, so as not to lose his country.

"At the beginning of the year, I sent an envoy to your country, I didn't expect your dynasty to send an envoy to visit so quickly, it seems that the virtuous monarch of your dynasty also agrees with the improvement of relations between the two countries, so very good!"

"Returning to the Holy Lord's words, I am very pleased that the Holy Lord has sent an envoy to my court. For more than 100 years, there has been no contact between Jingyuan and Nanzhao, all because they do not understand each other, and now the Holy Lord intends to enhance the mutual trust between the two countries, and my pilgrimage is naturally willing to respond, establish friendly diplomatic relations with your dynasty, open up border trade, and make the two countries friendly neighbors, and forge a good relationship for eternity. ”

Zhao Hongjin was very satisfied with Shao Xi's answer, and he agreed to send envoys to Jingyuan State, the original intention was to improve relations with Jingyuan State, so as to achieve the opening of border trade between the two countries, so as to increase the financial revenue of Southern Zhao State, and also solve the dilemma of the country's lack of materials.

At this time, it was learned from Shao Xi that the Jingyuan Empire was willing to respond positively, which was also in the right place.

"Good! It seems that my decision was correct at the beginning, since the noble dynasty also intends to establish a friendly relationship with my Nanzhao, then in the next few days I will arrange for Han Xiangguo to discuss specific diplomatic relations between the two countries with your envoy. ”

Shao Xi arched his hand and replied: "Back to the Holy Lord, I did have something to say on my pilgrimage to let the envoy bring it to the Holy Lord." I have said on the pilgrimage, although Jingyuan and Nanzhao have not had contact for a hundred years, but after all, they have been neighbors for more than 100 years, and they should help each other, if your dynasty has any needs, just put forward to our dynasty, my Jingyuan empire will do its best to help its neighbors, and at the same time hope that your dynasty can regard our dynasty as a brotherly state, treat each other with sincerity, fellowship with heart, and not be provoked by outsiders, so as to seek long-term good relations between the two countries. ”

Although these are not Xiao Changyi's original words, they are indeed Xiao Changyi's meaning.

To the ears of others, Nan Zhao put forward a request to Jing Yuan and Jing Yuan would try his best to help It was just a kind word, after all, the country and the country are all about safeguarding their own interests first, this kind of words are just polite words on the scene, just listen to it.

As everyone knows, Shao Xi came to carry a secret agreement this time, but it did bring benefits to Nanzhao, but this benefit cannot be given clearly at the moment, after all, there are still people who want to take advantage of the fact that the two countries know little about each other to stir up trouble and make some articles.

"The virtuous monarch of your dynasty is indeed a virtuous and virtuous king, the two countries are good neighbors to each other, and the formation of a friendly state in the future will surely benefit the people of the two countries, which is really a great blessing, and your envoy will remember to convey my greetings and admiration to the virtuous monarch of your dynasty after returning to the court in the future."

"The envoy thanked the Holy Lord for his kindness on my pilgrimage, and this time the envoy came, entrusted by me to present the letter of state and the national gift to the Holy Lord to show his sincerity, and asked the Holy Lord to accept it with a smile."

As he spoke, Shao Xi turned around and took the national book from Xu Maocheng's hand, opened it and read it. The content is just some official polite words, all formal things, and they don't have much meaning. After reading the national letter, he handed it to the eunuch in front of the palace with both hands and presented it to Zhao Hongjin.

Immediately afterwards, Shao Xi took a brocade box from Xu Maocheng's hand, raised his hands above his head and presented it. The eunuch in front of the palace presented the brocade box to Zhao Hongjin's case, and Zhao Hongjin was shocked by the thousand-year-old ginseng in the brocade box after opening it.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying that seven taels are ginseng and eight taels are treasures, and the thousand-year-old ginseng of Tianqiong Mountain in front of you is enough to have nine taels and eight dollars, which can be said to be a unique treasure ginseng in the world. This Nanzhao is located in the land of Bozhou, few people have ever seen ginseng, let alone such a large thousand-year-old ginseng, no wonder Zhao Hongjin was shocked after seeing it, he couldn't imagine that this Jingyuan Dynasty sent an envoy to make them a small country in the south like Nanzhao, and actually took out such a valuable thing as a gift.

Shao Xi said at this time: "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng that is a specialty of Tianqiong Mountain in the northeast, this ginseng weighs nine taels and eight dollars, there is only one in the world, I am not willing to take it on my pilgrimage, and this time I entrusted the envoy to give this ginseng to the holy lord to show my sincerity." ”

Such a valuable mountain ginseng actually has no practical significance for Zhao Hongjin at the moment, he is so young, and he has not yet been reduced to relying on ginseng to replenish qi and blood and improve energy. However, the precious value of this ginseng is there, after all, it is a unique treasure in the world, whether he is useful or not, this favor is essential.

"The virtuous monarch of your dynasty is really too polite, such a precious thing has shown the sincerity of your dynasty, I accepted it, and asked your envoy to convey my thanks after returning and thank you for the generous gift of the virtuous monarch of your dynasty."

Shao Xi hurriedly replied: "The Holy Lord is the Lord of Nanzhao, and my dynasty should give it a generous gift, so that it is enough to express the sincerity of our dynasty." In addition, in order to express the personal respect of the envoy to the Holy Lord, the envoy personally prepared two gifts for the Holy Lord and Princess Haizhu respectively, and hoped that the Holy Lord and the princess would not give up. ”

Zhao Hongjin was quite surprised to hear that Shao Xi had personally prepared gifts for himself and his sister. As the envoy of the mission, he originally only acted on behalf of the king, but now the young envoy in front of him is so proficient in human affairs and has prepared a gift by himself, which aroused Zhao Hongjin's interest.

"Oh? Your envoy even prepared gifts for me and Princess Haizhu? This was somewhat unexpected. I have heard that your envoy is young and promising, and he is a young talent of the Jingyuan Dynasty, and today is also a blessing to see it, and you raise your head and let me see what you look like, which can be regarded as my long insight. ”

Shao Xi muttered to himself in his heart: "This little emperor is really interesting! Everyone is a man, what's there to see? Don't they all have two eyes and one nose? Even if you have seen it, you are still you, I am me, and you can still see a flower? ”

Although there are all kinds of complaints in my heart, but at this time, when people make this request, I can't help but not know what to do and not give face, right?

So, Shao Xi slowly raised his head, but he didn't want to feel extremely shocked in his heart when both sides saw each other's appearances.

Zhao Hongjin was shocked that the envoy in front of him was not only young, but also had outstanding appearance, extraordinary aura, and really had the appearance of a proud son of the sky, and seemed to be more emperor than himself.

And Shao Xi was shocked by the face in front of him, didn't he just see it on the street yesterday? But the woman I saw yesterday was obviously a woman, why did she sit on top of this hall today and become the emperor of the Southern Zhao Kingdom? Could it be that this little emperor is dressed as a woman?

Wrong wrong! How is this possible? Putting aside the men and women, although they look the same, the temperament of the woman yesterday is completely different from the little emperor who is sitting on the main hall now. The girl looks rude and willful, and her temperament is outrageous, but the little emperor in front of her is mature and steady, and her demeanor is majestic.

How is it possible for a person to have two completely different personalities and temperaments at the same time?

Wait a minute!

If I remember correctly, it seems that Princess Haizhu and the little emperor are twin brothers and sisters, which means that the two brothers and sisters look exactly the same.

No way!

Could it be that it was Princess Haizhu who was tied to a horse by herself yesterday and pouted her ass and swaggered through the market?

You won't be so unlucky, will you?

Some people died, but not completely......
