Just as the dean and Ju An thought in their hearts, Yang Hejiu really didn't want to make any excitement for the worship of the Zhengyang Festival.

After leaving the Spirit Academy, he didn't walk casually, but asked someone to ask for something along the way.

Not far away, he happened to meet a woman, Yang Hejiu frowned slightly for a moment, carefully thought about how to ask, stepped forward and saluted and asked, "May I ask where the envoy of the Qi Kingdom lives?"

The woman looked up and down at this handsome and perfect young man, the more she looked at it, the more happy she became, and said with a smile on her face: "This young man is not from the city? You see that this is about to be dinner, it is better to go home with the eldest mother first, and the eldest mother will tell you where the Honglu Temple is, maybe it can help you see a good marriage. ”

Yang Hejiu nodded slightly, opened his mouth to thank him, and then declined the other party's kindness, if he didn't go home for dinner at noon when he returned to the Spirit Academy, the teacher would be angry.

The other party thought about the big red carp and the red envelope that was about to arrive, and couldn't help but insist on holding the other party and asking where the last family lived, but there was a marriage and the like, but the other party politely refused.

The woman shook her head and sighed, thinking that if she had fulfilled a good marriage for a girl, not to mention the benefits she had at hand, it would be a blessing, and it would be more effective than worshipping many Buddhas.

Isn't it good to have something to say, I'd rather demolish ten temples than destroy a marriage.

But he never thought that the other party had no such idea at all, so he no longer insisted.

Yang Hejiu continued to walk, asking where Honglu Temple was as he went.

Speaking of Yang Hejiu, he has been coming to the Spirit Academy since he was a teenager, and he has been living in this capital for about twenty years, and now even if the other party says the place, he still needs to inquire all the way.

He is not a road idiot, on the contrary, he can remember even the most complicated road once he has walked it, and the same is true of some things at a glance.

Just like the letter that made Xu Changan feel the verbose of Ju'an thousands of miles away, Yang Hejiu only needs to read it once to accurately remember what his senior brother wrote to him in the letter.

Not knowing the road is really just not knowing, and if you don't pass by, you don't know.

He didn't know the way, but he learned to inquire, otherwise he didn't know where to go when he was going to Sifang City to defend the city.

After inquiring all the way, Yang Hejiu did not go through too many twists and turns before coming to the outside of Honglu Temple.

The Honglu Temple has been very lively in recent days, and even the Zhengyang Festival Festival is not as hot as inside.

Although the two officials were old, they were not too old in the court and walked out of the monastery with their old waists in their hands, and felt that this negotiation was quite a headache.

An official who obviously looked at his official position was higher licked his dry lips, and his three-inch tongue seemed to be shortened, and this person was Zhao Xian, the Qing of Honglu Temple.

The other shook his head and sighed as he walked, stretched his hands to the other party, and said helplessly: "My lord." His Majesty asked Qi to bear the funds for the march of our dynasty, grain, grass, and equipment and horses, not to mention them. He even asked Qi to pay three years of military salary in advance for the aid to the Qi army, and if someone died on the battlefield would need to give him a one-time pension of ten times his military salary afterwards, how could Qi agree to it. ”

Zhao Xian also sighed helplessly, nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "The Qi State's funds are not available in the first place, even if it is an IOU, they don't dare to fight, let alone need to pay three years of military salary in advance." ”

It's not that they don't think that their soldiers are worth these salaries, but in their opinion, His Majesty the Emperor clearly means that they are embarrassed and the Qi country does not want to support.

In that case, why talk about it again? Isn't that a waste of time?

And that's not all, the State of Qi originally came to ask for help in the name of harmony, but in the negotiations these days, according to the meaning of His Majesty the Emperor, Honglu Temple did not say a word about harmony, and it clearly means that all we care about is money and grain, and your son of Qi is just a compensation.

This is not only bullying, but also an insult.

The corners of Zhao Xian's mouth were bitter, and he sighed and sighed: "I always feel that this is not over, if I can talk about the distribution of loot, I estimate that Your Majesty will open his mouth again." ”

Even his own family members feel that it is excessive, what will the Qi State Mission think?

"It's too much to deceive people! It's too much to deceive people! Lao Tzu is going to demolish this Honglu Temple today!"

...... That's what the Qi envoy thought, and directly said that they wanted to demolish this Honglu Temple.

The two officials shook their heads at the same time, helpless, and didn't care whether it was inappropriate for the person to make a fuss in the Honglu Temple.

If it were himself, I am afraid that it would have broken out a long time ago, and I would not have swallowed my anger to talk about today.

My own family members feel that His Majesty the Emperor's demands are too much, how should others think? Naturally, it is even more excessive.

Yang Hejiu looked up at the sky, only to realize that it was almost lunchtime, and he didn't have much time.

Looking at the three big characters of Honglu Temple written above the temple in front of him, he stepped forward and saluted to the two officials who were clearly going to eat: "I've seen two adults." ”

Another official saw someone coming, and stepped forward to protect Honglu Siqing behind him, which could not be described as imprudent.

Originally, because there was no good temper in the negotiation inside, it would not be polite for someone to block the way, and said: "This is Lord Zhao of Honglu Temple, what crime should he be guilty of blocking the road of the imperial court officials at will?"

Zhao Xian, the secretary of Honglu Temple, listened to the angry words of the person in front of him, and sighed in his heart that his family was about to explode, waved his hand and motioned for the other party to step aside, looked up and down at the young man who was saluting in front of him, confirmed that he had not seen it, and asked casually, "What's the matter?"

Yang Hejiu got up and asked, "I don't know if the Qi State Mission is in the Honglu Temple?"

Zhao Xian frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "You are in the Honglu Temple, I don't know what you are doing?"

Yang Hejiu opened his mouth and said, "I want to ask the mission about someone. ”

Zhao Xian didn't ask any more questions, pointed to the back and said directly: "After passing through that door, you can see the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Qi Kingdom." ”

"Bastard! Don't stop me!"

Zhao Xian lowered his head slightly and rubbed his eyebrows lightly, and said helplessly: "This is, just follow the voice to find it." ”

Yang Hejiu waved his hand and saluted again, and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

The two officials then left.

Another official looked at Zhao Xian puzzled and asked, "Is the adult too polite to that person?"

Zhao Xian glanced back at the other party, and said seriously: "The way of being an official is also the way of being a person, the other party replaces him with courtesy, but he just asks a question, how can he talk about being polite and unwelcome?"

The man spoke, "Your Majesty is taught." ”

Zhao Xian remembered the other party's movements, and said to himself: "The etiquette just now was upright and serious. Even if the secretary of the Ministry of Rites is an official inside, I am afraid that he will not be so serious in his life. ”

Another official thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed extremely upright as Zhao Xian said, and could even be described as perfect.

As soon as the two came back to their senses, they suddenly found that there was another old man standing in front of them.

The old man was not very polite, and asked directly, "What did that kid ask just now?"

The official was angry, and stepped forward and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! This is Honglu Siqing..."

Before the words came out, he was interrupted by the other party, and the old man was also angry and said, "What do I care about you?"

The official was slightly stunned, wiped the saliva on his face, and said in a daze: "Lord Zhao Xian..."

Zhao Xian was a little speechless, motioned to the other party to retreat, bowed and replied: "Dare to ask the old man about this, what advice do you have?"

The old man was a little dumbfounded, waved his hand and didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left, he couldn't clearly say that he was following, right?

Both officials were a little confused.

"Dare to ask your lordship, why are you polite this time?"

It's all saluted now, you can't say you're welcome, right?

Zhao Xian licked his lips, looked at the other party's departing back and said, "A good man doesn't eat the loss in front of him, the other party doesn't seem to be easy to mess with." ”

......

"Xiaguan... Learn. ”

It turns out that Lord Zhao's way of being an official is to be polite and a little polite, and to be even more polite when he is not polite. The official thought to himself.

Although there is some confession, I have to say that there is some truth to it.

How many fools are there in this world? Seeing the official uniforms on the two of them and the Honglu Temple behind them, even a three-year-old child knows that they should be two official masters.

Dare to provoke that, obviously, you can afford to provoke.

Although no one can say for sure if one day they really meet a fool who is not long-sighted, but in the opinion of this Honglu Siqing, it is always right to be less angry sometimes.

Yang Hejiu directly entered the Honglu Temple, and he didn't need to look for where that person was, and he saw it as soon as he entered the door.

Yang Hejiu stepped forward and saluted, and said, "I've seen Lord Shangshu." ”

It's almost like rolling around with a lot of noise, how can you pay attention to the people who want to say something?

It makes people feel that if it weren't for the fact that there were a few people around him, Yuan Jiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, would really dare to burn down this Honglu Temple.

As for the subordinate officials behind him, it was too late to persuade his own adult, so naturally no one paid attention to Yang Hejiu.

The subordinate behind him persuaded bitterly: "My lord, even if this Honglu Temple is burned, it will not help." ”

It's not that Yuan Jiang doesn't understand these truths, if he really demolishes this Honglu Temple, I'm afraid that it won't be Dachang to aid Qi at that time, but a famous teacher who will unite with Chu to fight Qi.

But he always has to have a place to vent his anger, and besides, it is to show the other party that Qi Guo is not so easy to bully.

However, his method is wrong, showing whether the country is easy to bully is not what he should do in the Ministry of Rites, that is the responsibility of his Qi State Military Department, and what the Ministry of Rites needs to show is very simple, it is a word of etiquette and style.

When he came back to his senses, he looked at the young man who still kept saluting, and even if he ignored it, he was still not dissatisfied, and only then did he know what his demeanor was.

Immediately, most of his anger disappeared, he broke free from the left and right of the person behind him, stared at Yang Hejiu and asked, "What's the matter?"

It wasn't until the other party responded that Yang Hejiufang got up and replied, "I want to ask Lord Shangshu about a girl." ”

Lord Shangshu nodded slightly, he was naturally very clear about that girl, it had nothing to do with her appearance, but the other party held the Gongzi token, and followed the mission all the way to this Beiyang City, and the treatment on the way was not much worse than his own.

He asked, "Who are you?"

Yang Hejiu frowned slightly, and after thinking carefully for a while, he only shook his head slightly, he really couldn't say what the relationship between the two was.

It is also the reason why I hesitated to open my mouth after simply asking for directions. He was thinking that the two had nothing to do with each other, but he had to ask if the other party was suitable.

Lord Shangshu suddenly showed vigilance, although the girl didn't know who it was, but she could see that she should be a very important friend of her son, so in the face of a person who can't say anything, she will be wary of whether she wants to be unfavorable to her.

After being vigilant, he immediately relaxed, he was also a person who had lived all his life, so he could naturally see some things, if Yang Hejiu really wanted to be unfavorable to him, he didn't know that girl anyway, and the other party would be okay if he casually lied to the past, there was no reason to be so suspicious.

You must know that there are many people pretending to be the brothers and cousins of the girl's family, and this is all a bad reason.

Master Shang Shu stroked his beard lightly and said, "A few months ago, there was indeed a girl holding my Chaogongzi token, saying that she wanted to come to this city. ”

Yang Hejiu asked, "I wonder if Master Shangshu can tell her if it's safe." ”

Lord Shangshu bowed slightly, took out a token from his bosom and said, "There is nothing that cannot be told, that girl entered this city with the mission, handed back the token to me, and left on her own." ”

Yang Hejiu frowned after a glance, shook his head slightly and said, "It's not this one, I think what I said to the adult is not a person." ”
