Chapter 148: Kneeling and Not Kneeling

For Liu Bang, kneeling is fine, at least it's not a big deal.

At least in the past, that's the case.

The kneeling one, worship also, it is recorded in "Fan Ju Says the King of Qin": "The King of Qin knelt down and said: 'What is the words of Mr.'? 'Fan Ju will bow again, and King Qin will also bow again. ’

Kneeling is also sitting, when there were no chairs before, Liu Bang himself was also kneeling and sitting with everyone, where would there be so much attention.

It's just that since the beginning of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, everyone has begun to sit on chairs, and the difference between being high and bowing down has been there, which gives the meaning of kneeling and saying goodbye, but even in the Song Kingdom, if it is not for any ceremony, many people will not kneel.

Liu Bang knew very well that kneeling had been given another meaning in it, and at this time he asked the three envoys of the Jin State to kneel down and speak, which was already clearly weighed.

Daxingguo became more and more stammering, and he couldn't spit out a word for a long time...... Jin also followed the Han etiquette, he could never have imagined that Emperor Zhao of the Song State would be like this......

Unreasonable.

That's right, it doesn't make sense at all, and his attention and awareness of etiquette are even far inferior to him, a eunuch, and he thinks that his little emperor worships Confucian Zhou Li so much, but in the place where Zhou Li was born, it turned out to be a different look, even compared with those rude people on the grassland, it is not much better.

It is no wonder that many people in the DPRK and China call Jiangnan 'Nanban', and today it seems that this statement cannot be false.

The three of them didn't speak, if they knelt down this time, then they wouldn't have to be human beings after they went back, and they originally wanted to promote the national prestige of our Dajin, but they didn't expect that even their underwear would be picked up here.

But if you don't kneel, then Emperor Zhao, is it really so easy to get along?

Daxing Guoqiang pulled out a smile:

"Your Majesty is really good at laughing, this, this is neither a New Year's holiday, nor is it a sacrifice to the heavens and Buddha, where do you need us to kneel...... This is not in line with the number of courtesies, and it is not in line with the number of courtesies. ”

Liu Bang didn't talk much nonsense, and beckoned to Huang Yanjie...... is also a eunuch, and the eyesight of the two can be said to be very different, but it is normal, after all, Huang Yanjie is much older and rejuvenated.

The old eunuch soon presented the emperor's treasure, Liu Bang held the bow of the divine arm, and aimed at Daxingguo, so frightened that the latter's tears swirled in his eyes, and they could fall at any time.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"

"What the Son of Heaven said, you actually thought he was joking? Are you looking down on Lao Tzu? ”

Daxingguo hurriedly denied: "The minister is wrong, the minister is wrong, the minister is wrong!" ”

As he spoke, he beckoned himself to his own face, 'popped' twice, and fanned it crisply, and when he heard it, he knew that it was a good face.

"Kneel."

Daxingguo was still a little hesitant, but this time Liu Bang didn't even give him a chance to speak, and shot an arrow directly at him, and the arrow was inserted in the gap between the floor tiles, and it was already half of the arrow into the soil.

With such power, where did Daxingguo dare to say more, without even the slightest hesitation, he knelt down directly, and the old monk Li on the side sighed, like a dead wife, he also knelt down together.

The two of them went one after the other, but it was just a matter of blink of an eye, but the two old men next to Liu Bang were so excited that they almost jumped.

The emperor acts, it is indeed not polite, I am the Great Song Dynasty and the Heavenly Dynasty, I have a way of hospitality, these years the envoys of the Song Kingdom went north, although there is no Jin envoy in Lin'an that kind of treatment, but most of the days are quite good, especially Su Fu, the old boy relied on his grandfather's name, everywhere the nobles of the Jin Kingdom were welcomed, even if other people did not have his treatment, but the gifts and banquets were a lot.

The last time the two countries humiliated each other like this should be more than four years ago, when Zhang Tonggu went south for the first time, and the two sides negotiated peace for the first time...... Although Qin Xiangye did that thing instead of the Zhao official family, this reputation still fell on the head of the Zhao official family after all.

Now the situation has changed, and it has become so thorough, although the people who come are not surnamed Wanyan, and they are not extremely noble figures, but since they are envoys, then they represent the Jin country, and the emperor of the Jin country.

This meeting, just thinking about it is enough to make people excited, but now that it has really happened in front of their eyes, how can they make Xin Ciying and Guo Yaoshi not excited, not excited?!

"What about you?"

Two of the three knelt down, and one of the standing was Zhi Ning, who had suffered a shoulder injury, and if he used this to plead for mercy, maybe Emperor Zhao would be gracious, but he didn't do it.

It seems that his father has never taught him to show weakness, and he doesn't quite understand it himself, the only thing he knows in his heart is that he can't kneel at this time.

But if he didn't kneel, the arrow of the divine arm bow was inserted next to him, which was very dazzling, and he didn't know if Emperor Zhao would shoot the arrow at his body, and the instinct to survive and reason fought, so that his forehead began to ooze sweat droplets.

Liu Bang moved the bow of the divine arm, holding the bow handle in his right hand, and using his left hand as the bow frame, which was really aimed at Zhining...... There was nothing strange about the people around her, except for Tu Danyue, she knew that this emperor was a madman, a hooligan, and a shameless person who could do everything, so she really wanted to remind Zhining not to suffer this immediate loss.

After all, she didn't suffer the loss in front of her, and let Emperor Zhao insult her for a few days, and now she wants Zhining to become the same person as her.

But before she could speak, Liu Bang still put away the bow and arrow, and said with a smile:

"Tell me, the previous letter has made it very clear, tell me about your conditions."

It's not that he suddenly has a good heart, but he suddenly figured it out.

If the three of them are kneeling, then they are covering for each other, and they don't know what kind of statement it will be to go back, even if they reveal the truth on their side, the Jin people will definitely not believe it, and will only say that it is the conjecture of the Song people, self-victory Dafa, in that case, all three of them kneel, that is, none of them kneel.

It's better to let Zhining stand, he is standing now, even if the other two people are resentful in their hearts, the most resentful one is Zhining, who can't hate himself, they all say that they don't suffer from widowhood but unevenness, when there is real unevenness, people will not hate the person who is responsible for the distribution, but only the person who has gained more than himself.

Sure enough, seeing that the emperor did not forcibly ask Zhining to kneel, Daxingguo's face deteriorated a lot, and the eunuch remembered the letter that was crushed and thrown away by Zhining, and he had already sketched out countless big dramas in his heart.

Zhining didn't think about it so much, first arched his hand towards Liu Bang, and then said:

"What do you want?"
