Chapter 372: Prince Kushan

On the eve of the Great Imperial Meeting, under the leadership of the Kushan prince Qiqiu, a huge delegation of 3,000 people arrived in Xianyang.

In front of the city gate, Prince Qiqiu stopped, looked at the four towering arrow towers and sighed: "As soon as I entered Daqin, I was constantly shocked, I don't want to underestimate Xianyang, this neat house is so neat, what is this road paved?" It's as smooth as a mirror! ”

Although Xianyang New Town does not have a city wall, it does not mean that anyone can enter and exit at will, and there is still a nominal city gate.

Wang Jin on the side introduced with interest: "This is only the new city of Daqin, and the walls of the old city are even more majestic!" When you see Zhangtai Palace, you will be even more shocked. ”

Meng Tian and Xiao Wu just smiled next to them and didn't answer.

Just as Qiqiu kept sighing, Chen Qing led people to hurry over.

"I've seen General Meng, General Wang, and the Inspector." Turning his head to look at Qiqiu, he bowed and saluted: "Prince Qiqiu, Chen Qing, who is under the pawn, has come to greet the prince by His Majesty's edict." Please forgive me for not being able to wait here due to a sudden business commitment. ”

Qiqiu smiled and replied, "It's okay, it's okay, there is Lao Chen's guest." ”

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, raised his head and looked at Qiqiu strangely.

"Prince Chigaoka can speak elegant words?"

Qiqiu laughed: "Yayan is beautiful and beautiful, I have long been yearning, and I specially invited a businessman from Daqin to teach me, if I don't speak well, I will laugh." ”

Chen Qing was amazed, this was the first time he had seen it...... No, Kaqu is the first, he is the second Westerner who can speak so well in Yayan.

After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly said: "Prince Qiqiu, I have long known that the mission you led is very large, but in Xianyang City, even the new city cannot accommodate so many people, so the city has prepared a residence for your mission, and Prince Qiqiu can lead about twenty people to the Great Qin Post House." ”

There are more than enough houses in the new city to live in them, after all, they don't need a house per person, but there are so many of them that it is more suitable for them to live outside the city for safety.

Ruler Hill arched his hand: "Thank you." ”

Meng Tian and Xiao Wu glanced at each other: "Prince, when I am summoned by His Majesty, I will go first." ”

"The two generals and the inspector walked slowly."

Here, Chen Qing led Qiqiu to the Great Qin Post House, and along the way, Qiqiu couldn't stop admiring Xianyang, praising Daqin, coupled with a fluent dialect, which made Chen Qing have a lot of good feelings towards this prince of Guishan, whom he had never met.

The apse of the chapter platform.

"Your Majesty, General Wang, General Meng, and the Inspector of the Western Regions have arrived."

"Call them in."

The three of them came together, and after entering the hall, they bowed: "See Your Majesty." ”

I felt a little cordial when I saw the three of them, it was not easy for the three of them to be in the Western Regions.

"No courtesy, sit down, Yinghua, serve tea."

After the three of us sat down, I smiled and said, "How?" ”

As a supervising envoy, Xiao Wu took the lead in replying, and said with a smile: "Since the resumption of military power and the implementation of Qin coins, the Western Regions have been very stable, and the expected judgment in the area of the Green Mountains has not appeared, and now the Western Regions are all in the hands of Great Qin, and it can be regarded as the land of Great Qin!" ”

I nodded with satisfaction: "Very good!" ”

Xiao Wu has a report every month, I just briefly learned about it, and then said, "I heard that you came with the Kushan Mission?" ”

The three of them are all members of the imperial court in the Western Regions, and what I am most concerned about this court meeting is the intention of Guishan's arrival, since they are here with the delegation, I naturally want to know their speculation about the purpose of Guishan's trip, as well as their opinions on this envoy and the prince of Guishan.

Wang Jin was the first to speak, his face full of appreciation: "Your Majesty, Prince Qiqiu is indeed a heroic and unrestrained person, and his words and deeds reveal a heroic spirit, which makes people can't help but respect him, treat people sincerely and enthusiastically, and he is also very good to his subordinates." ”

My heart moved, and I smiled: "It seems that you admire this Prince of Ruler Hill very much?" ”

"If it is anything else, the minister thinks that this person is worthy of fellowship."

Meng Tian thought for a moment and added, "Your Majesty, Prince Qiqiu is not only a bold personality, but also very knowledgeable. The extent to which he knew about Great Qin was astonishing, and His Majesty knew that this person was able to speak very fluently! ”

"Oh?" Listening to the descriptions of the two, I couldn't help but be very curious about this ruler hill, Guishan and Daqin have no other intersection except for business and trade, this ruler hill can actually speak fluent Yayan?

I looked at Xiao Wu, who had not spoken: "What do you think?" ”

Xiao Wu pondered the wording: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has also carefully observed this person, and it is true that as General Wang and General Meng said, this person is knowledgeable, kind, and handles things properly, but the more this is the case, the more worried the minister becomes. ”

Meng Tian's face was as usual, and Wang Jin looked at Xiao Wu a little strangely.

"Tell me, why are you worried?"

Xiao Wu's thoughts are the same as mine, and if the three of them really do what the three of them say, I'm afraid he will be a difficult opponent.

"Yes. This time Guishan came to promote exchanges between the two countries and increase commercial and trade exchanges, but Kechen felt that this matter was by no means so simple......"

Immediately, Xiao Wu expressed his worries one by one, just like the analysis at the court meeting that day.

With Xiao Wu's narration, Wang Jin's brows gradually wrinkled.

"Your worries are not unreasonable, I discussed this matter with Feng Xiang and them on the day Guishuang handed over the credentials, so you really need to be careful."

I said in a deep voice: "Guishan is a tribal alliance system, saying that it is Guishan, in fact, it is a country composed of Xiumi, Shuangmi, Guishan, Didun, and Gaofu Wuxihou, among which Guishan is the most powerful, and it is a matter of time before the other four Xihou are annexed, before that, they may be able to be at peace with Daqin, once Guishan destroys the Sixi Marquis......"

Meng Tian agreed: "Just like the unification of the Warring States, after the unification of the four marquis of Guishan, the national strength will inevitably increase greatly, and I am afraid that when the time comes, I will not sit idly by and watch Great Qin continue to expand westward, even if it stops in the Western Regions." ”

I touched the beard that was not long on my chin, raised my head and said, "You have walked such a long way, go back and rest first, and discuss it another day." ”

"Yes! Wait for the resignation! ”

After the three of them left, I instructed, "Let Chen Qing come to see me when he comes back." ”

What kind of person is this Kushan prince who came from afar......

————

Two hours later, Chen Qing hurried back.

"Settled?"

"Yes, in fact, it should have been settled a long time ago, but this Guishan prince was a little too enthusiastic, asking questions along the way, and staying in the post house for a long time after arriving at the inn."

I nodded slightly, "Go and tell him that I will summon him tomorrow in Longyun Pavilion." ”

Chen Qing raised his head: "Didn't Your Majesty say that you would wait until the Great Dynasty would receive him again?" ”

"Nope." I said lightly: "This person is very interesting to me, and I want to meet him alone before the Great Dynasty meeting to see if he is really as heroic as Meng Tian and Wang Jin said." ”

Don't be another Maoton......
