Chapter 192: Star Luo Gift!
Liu Mo was promoted from the imperial history of salt transportation in Linfu of Zhengqipin River to the minister of salt transportation of Zhengsipin, who was in charge of salt transportation in charge of the whole country, and the deputy commander-in-chief of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
The speed of this ascension completely surpassed the record of the fastest on earth.
In particular, the deputy commander-in-chief of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, although there is no rank, but according to the military system of Great Xia.
The titles of duke, candidate, and earl serve as chief soldiers, deputy chief officers, etc., have no rank, because the former titles themselves are super grades. There is no relationship between the chief and deputy commanders, and they can both lead the whole army and be the highest military attache in the locality.
In the Ming Dynasty, there was also an individual phenomenon in which the general army was not in charge of the army, and the deputy general army was in charge of the local military and government. For example, the chief military officer of Yunnan in the Ming Dynasty was hereditary by the Mu family, but the actual military power and other war commands were controlled by the deputy chief soldier appointed by the imperial court.
To put it simply, if Bai Chengzong is not in Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, he can be in charge of all the soldiers and horses in the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.
At the same time, Emperor Daxia did not break his promise, and was really willing to let Liu Mo go back.
However, there are also conditions, that is, after the envoy of Xingluo completes his diplomatic mission and returns home safely!
When the eunuch handed over the decree to Liu Mo, he deliberately walked up to him and whispered: "Lord Liu, in the future, don't say that you are the son-in-law of the Linyang Lin family." ”
As for why, Liu Mo knows it without asking.
With his current identity, the Lin family is completely high, and the identity of the son-in-law has long been invisibly removed. In other words, in the future, if Liu Mo wants to marry a few daughters-in-law, he will marry a few daughters-in-law.
knelt down to thank Longen, and quietly handed out a silver ticket of one hundred taels to thank the eunuch Xuanzhi, and then, he ushered in the biggest crisis in Liu Mo's life.
The etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty to greet foreign envoys was cumbersome.
First, he was accompanied by several Korean Chinese military officials and sent to Jizhou. After arriving, the envoys were arranged to a special inn and the number of people was counted.
The next day, he was ordered to prepare the expression and tribute, and together with the officials of the Four Translation Pavilions, he went to the Ministry of Rites to meet with the etiquette. He was received by the attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and the envoy handed over the letter to the official of the Four Translation Pavilions, and then handed it to the attendant.
When receiving the ministers, they will be courteous to the king. After the interview, the officials of the Four Translation Pavilions will lead the envoys out. The letter was forwarded to the cabinet by the Ministry of Rites, and the tribute was handed over to the Ministry of Rites for storage.
And Liu Mo's first job was to meet the envoys at the official residence of the Ministry of Rites with the waiter of the Ministry of Rites.
The number of visiting Xingluo envoys was about 100 people, led by the fourth son of King Xingluo.
Liu Mo noticed that the appearance of the Xingluo people was obviously different from that of the Great Xia people. They are very similar to the people of the Western Regions of the Earth. He is dark-eyed and ugly, bearded, and taller than the southerners of Great Xia, but not as tall as the northerners of Great Xia and the Hu people.
Under the instruction of the eldest prince, what should have been the power of ordinary monarchs and ministers has become a very harsh three-bow and nine-bow ceremony. Not only that, but those who need to bow include the four princes.
The objects of kneeling are only the waiters of the Great Xia Rite Department and Liu Mo!
And the eldest prince didn't appear in the Ministry of Rites at all. Because his other request is that the Xingluo envoys must go to the county king's mansion and bow again!
At the end of the prostration, half an hour had passed.
The fourth prince of Xingluo ordered softly, and the four stout subordinates immediately carried a wooden box decorated with silver and walked forward quickly.
When he opened it, he found it full of all sorts of curiosities. Reflecting the sunlight, it exudes an unusually beautiful luster.
The waiter of the Ministry of Rites is a native of Jizhou, surnamed Luo, and his name is Shou. Short and fat, pot-bellied.
He told Liu Mo that when foreign envoys sent to Great Xia, they would be given a gift by the official who received them. Of course, it will not be in public, and Liu Mo's share has already been sent to Liu Mo's residence.
According to Luo Shou's words, after learning Liu Mo's identity, Xingluo envoys sent more than a dozen people to choose a whole night in Jizhou.
But Liu Mo was a little unhappy, "I have to have a life flower!" ”
After this, Yu Lin Wei sent the Xingluo envoy back to the inn.
Liu Mo needed to stay and count the gifts with Luo Shou.
Xingluo is rich in rubies, emeralds, and Hetian jade. In order to make amends, this time they can be said to have invested a lot of money, and the things they sent were so many and good that Liu Mo was itching.
Luo Shou has been in the officialdom for many years, and he couldn't see his thoughts, so he quietly pulled Liu Mo aside and stuffed a big bag directly into him.
"Don't worry, even Your Majesty acquiesces in this kind of thing!"
Since the officials and servants all say so, if you don't take it, you won't take it for nothing.
opened it and looked at it, almost bursting Liu Mo's eyes.
Five giant rubies, seven or eight pieces of Hetian jade, and five large outrageous diamonds.
Good guy, which one said that the Ministry of Rites is the Qingshui Yamen, I think it is the same as the earth that sells antiques. The three doors are not open, and they will be open for three years!
The rubies and diamonds are both five, yes, I must have inquired that I have five daughters-in-law, one for each of them.
I am very satisfied with your wave of kneeling and licking! Liu Mo snickered.
Suddenly, one of the lists, which I don't know if I can call a gift, caught Liu Mo's attention.
Because the text written on it is not visible to Liu Mo, after Luo Shou's translation, it roughly means: In order to apologize, I, King Xingluo, am willing to offer the beautiful Princess Xingluo.
I'm a good one.
On earth, it is not uncommon to have princesses and relatives, but it is quite eye-catching to meet them.
On the other hand, Luo Shou was already surprised, he grinned, "Lord Liu, are you interested in finding out?" ”
Do you need to ask? Let's go!
Since it was a gift, the beautiful Princess Xingluo was not sent back to the inn, but stayed in the official residence of the Ministry of Rites.
Following Luo Shou, he came to a courtyard and opened the door, but saw a woman in exotic clothes sitting in it.
She was about seventeen or eighteen years old. He is not tall, but he is petite, delicate, sweet and cute.
In terms of appearance, it has the characteristics of a girl in the Western Regions: big eyes and big mouth, plump forehead and chin, crystal complexion, bright and snowy, soft as jade. Compared with the Great Xia woman, there is another good-looking.
To Liu Mo's surprise, seeing the two of them coming, the Princess Xingluo immediately got up, bowed down according to the etiquette of the Great Xia Dynasty, and said, "Two great blessings!" ”
"Do you speak my Bactrian language?" Liu Mo was surprised.
"Back to the adult's words, the little girl and Brother Wang have worshiped Mr. Daxia as their teacher since they were young and learned Daxia Wen." Her voice is soft, as beautiful as a silver bell, and her singing voice is delicate and clear, and she turns freely.
While talking, I kept smiling, and the pear vortex appeared slightly on my cheeks, which was beautiful!
Such a beautiful girl wants to marry the sixty-year-old super old cow of Daxia Emperor Weiguang!
Thinking of this, Liu Mo couldn't help but show a weird smile.
At this time, Luo Shou quietly leaned into Liu Mo's ear and said softly: "Lord Liu, can you see it?" ”
, what kind of nonsense is this, people are dedicated to Wei Guang by King Xingluo.
Without waiting for Liu Mo to answer, Luo Shou said again: "As long as you open your mouth, Your Majesty will definitely reward you!" ”
Boy! Are you serious?
