Chapter 495: Bizarre State Book

After the New Year's Eve, after copying the opening dynasty, Beili Chaozhong suddenly received a bizarre style of national script.
This book is neither Dongling nor Xikun, nor is it from the other border tribe of Kyushu mainland. The book states that it is the Sangyi country from the east.
The golden yellow chrysanthemum pattern is painted on the top, but the back cover is white, and it looks weird.
It's not like Guoshu, it's like obituary.
North Korea and China have different opinions on this book of Sang Yi Kingdom.
"Back to the Majesty, this Sangyi country is just a small island country on the east side. It is a wild place. They sent me hundreds of years ago to study various cultures and techniques on the mainland of Kyushu and took away many books. If not, I am afraid they are still drinking blood. This is a small country, Your Majesty need not take it to heart. "
With such carelessness, there is naturally a lot of thought.
"His Majesty, this is something that is worthy of attention. Since my Kyushu mainland collapsed into the three kingdoms of Beili, Dongling and Xikun, this Sangyi state has not exchanged with my Beili. Now they have sent thousands of miles. The book of humility was also written in the State Book, which made him feel strange. If it was so respectful and courteous to me, Beili, why wouldn't he send it?
Yu Fu nodded his head slightly, ruling in the middle, "Everybody Ai Qing has made sense, and now Sang Yiguo has just sent the credentials, the envoys have not yet arrived, and I don't know what their specific purpose is. Since this Sang Yi state The track disappeared again and again after a hundred years. It was a bit weird to think about it, and it was natural to handle it carefully. Immediately, someone was sent to investigate the whereabouts of the envoys. We must figure out where they came from, directly to Beili or go first Somewhere else. "
When the ministers heard something else, they immediately became alert.
What other place to say, except the Dongling, who is only halfway left?
As he was saying, the Ministry of Industry's Shang Shu suddenly came out, "Your Majesty, the minister has a relentless invitation, and hope that when His Majesty sends someone to investigate the movements of the envoys of Sang Yiguo, he will be able to find the ship by which they came. Now. "
Yufu couldn't help wondering, "Ship?"
"Yes."
"The sangyi country is indeed a small country," said the Ministry of Industry. "Everything they have learned from the Kyushu continent. However, they can only ship this thing. They have the natural advantages of the island state and are said to be very well made. His Majesty think about it, their envoys can travel thousands of miles from Sangyi to Beili, can we be sure to take a boat to Sangyi?
Yu Fu pondered for a moment. The history books faintly recorded that the ancestors sent ambassadors to Sang Yi Kingdom, but there was no news when they left. I wonder whether they were buried in the sea or stayed in Sang Yi Kingdom.
Forget about the past, just to say that the current shipbuilding technology of Beili, if you want to cross the ocean and reach the Sangyi country far away, you may not be sure.
This is true of Beili, let alone Xi Kun and Dong Ling.
Yufu nodded, "Ai Qing's words are reasonable. No matter if he is a wild country or not, as long as they have advantages over us, we must study modestly. He will ask people to pay attention to inquiries."
The Ministry of Industry returned to his position with a smile, and if his shipbuilding skills were improved, his achievements in the Ministry of Industry would not be worrying and no guarantee.
The people sent by Yufu came back for a few days to probe, "Your Majesty, it has been explored clearly. The ship of the envoy of Sang Yiguo stopped at a port in Ludi, and the envoy of the envoy sent the certificate to his subordinate. When they left, they were ready to come to the capital. They had not been to other places in advance, and the drawings of the ships had been drawn to the Ministry of Industry. Their ships were huge, but they had docked when they saw them. No speed can be seen. "
There seems to be nothing wrong with these messages.
Yufu Road: "What is the number and scale of the envoys?"
"There are a lot of people. There are about a thousand people on the whole ship. In addition to the generals and soldiers, there are dozens of gorgeously dressed envoys. The subordinates also saw them carrying many wooden boxes to the shore. The tribute sent to Beijing is about ten times more than Dongling's gift during the New Year. "
ten times?
Yu Fu raised his eyebrows, Gu Shubai listened, he couldn't help but laugh, "Should those wooden boxes be filled with stones? Little Xiaoyi Island, it would be better if you don't come to Beili to fight the autumn wind. Why? Can you afford so many gifts? "
Yufu also felt strange, but there was so much information discovered in a hurry, and she waved her hand to make people recede.
After leaving, Yu Fu said: "Everyone said that there is nothing to be diligent to do, or to be stolen. If the Sangyi country does not send so many envoys and send so many gifts, I don't think so. The scale of gifts can be so large It's huge and can't help but doubt. "
Gu Shubai got up and walked to the side of the bookshelf, and pulled out an ancient book with a mottled cover. "Take a look at this, this is what I found by reading ancient books last night."
Sang Yiguo is a concept unfamiliar to everyone. The news they know is hundreds of years ago, so Gu Shubai has been consulting books recently to try to learn more about the country.
There are two lines in the book in his hand referring to the situation of Sang Yiguo.
Yufu took a closer look with his hand. "It is said that Sangyi is not only a small place, but also has dozens of small islands, all of which are projectiles. And the country has a scarce population, lacks medicine, and has many children who die. Things."
In this way, Sang Yiguo is even less likely to get so many gifts.
Gu Shubai closed the book and said, "This book records the Sang Yi Kingdom hundreds of years ago. Many things can happen in hundreds of years. The current Sang Yi Kingdom may not only have a strong national strength but also a large population. It is also unknown. "I want you to read this book, not to let you know Sang Yi country from the book, but to tell you that this country is no longer the same as before."
Yufu nodded, thinking of some ministers in the DPRK saying that the barbaric small country was inadequate, saying: "You are right, even if it is really a barbaric small country, we cannot take it lightly. Right now, in the critical period of unification of the Kyushu mainland, I don't think Allow any variable. "
"What if Sangyi is really a variable?"
"Then meet God and kill God, meet Buddha and kill Buddha!"
In the spring season, the envoys of Sang Yiguo came to the city with a mighty spirit.
The State Book states that the visiting minister who has the highest ranking is Minister Sangyi Erpin Zuo, and Yu Fuben ordered Chen Jingxing, who is also an official in Erpin, to greet the city.
Chen Jingxing brought his bureaucrats and subordinates to set up a tent outside the city to welcome him. Rao was experienced in envoying various countries and knew the customs and customs of various countries. He was surprised when he saw the dress of the envoys of Sang Yiguo.
Each of the short envoys wearing white hats, like "white impermanence", looked like a temple show and was very funny.
They were large in number, and the carriages behind them grew into long queues, all of which were filled with gifts, which looked very grand.
The envoys were very respectful and polite with smiles. When they approached, Chen Jingxing discovered that the white robes they wore were still embroidered with golden chrysanthemums.
He thought that it was only the Minister of Zuo who was headed by him, but he did not expect that all officials wearing white robes would have a closer look.
It seems that golden chrysanthemums have a unique meaning to the Sangyi people, and unlike in mainland Kyushu, this color is only available to the royal family.
"The envoys have worked hard all the way, and my official is Bei Jing Hongying Temple Secretary Chen Jingxing. Your Majesty is here to greet you. You come from the distance, please drink a glass of water and wine to relieve your fatigue."
He said he picked up the wine glass and handed it to Minister Zuo. The other hand took it respectfully. "Thank you, Mr. Chen, and Her Majesty Beili, for your hospitality and I am grateful."

His words just ended, and all the envoys behind him bowed humbly, before taking the wine glass. Chen Jingxing saw them so respectful and relaxed.
He slightly tilted his head and glanced at the soldiers behind him. The soldiers would leave quietly and returned to the palace to confess to Yufu.
After some trivial hospitality etiquette, a number of envoys were ushered in the post hall, and Chen Jingxing said: "Please envoys take a break to avoid being overwhelmed by the exhaustion of the soil, and in a few days your Majesty will have time to meet in person."
The Minister Chan Zuo, headed by him, quickly recovered his smile. "It was rude to the Xiaguan. Xiaguan thought that he would be able to see His Majesty today. He is too anxious to worship. In this case, please Chen Master The congratulatory gift prepared by King Sangyi to the new king of Beili will be sent to the palace, and Master Chen is also asked to greet His Majesty on behalf of me and our king. "
Chen Jingxing listened to him with respect and full of remarks. He couldn't help feeling good for him.
It is said that Sangyi is a small barbaric country, but in the end, it has been studied in the Kyushu mainland several hundreds of years ago. Since learning the culture and etiquette of the Kyushu mainland, it is different from other small barbaric countries.
Chen Jingxing nodded slightly, "My official must convey, please envoys rest, my official will not disturb."
He said that he and the envoys reciprocated each other and returned to the palace with those gifts.
As soon as Chen Jingxing left, Minister Zuo looked up and showed a strange smile to his back.
The envoy behind him took a step forward and spoke a few words with him in Sang Yiguo's language. Then he saw Minister Zuo's disdainful eyes and responded to what he said.
Even if the soldiers stationed in the post had heard them talking, they didn't know what they were talking about.
When Minister Zuo returned to the room, he heard two soldiers in the backyard whispering quietly, "The people of Sang Yiguo said differently to us, so how could they say our words and speak so well?"
"Haven't heard that they came to study in mainland Kyushu hundreds of years ago? It must have been our words at that time, which is strange."
Minister Zuo laughed softly, walked into the room calmly, took off his shoes and knelt on the couch slightly.
"Bei Li, little daughter-in-law, very good."
In the palace, Yufu Mingli received the congratulations from Sang Yiguo and left only one gift list.
Compared to the white paper with golden chrysanthemum flowers on white background, this gift list made her cry and laugh.
The items above are not enough or precious, but all items are from the Kyushu continent, and none of them are unknown.
Sang Yi is a distant island country. Qian Liyi sent congratulations to Beili, but the result was still Beili?
It's funny.
"How can countries send gifts to other countries instead of their own domestic specialties? Dongling likes to send silk, Xikun likes fur, we Beili likes ginseng velvet antler, doesn't Sangyi country have its own specialties?"
When Yao Lan heard Yufu ’s words, he could n’t help but said,
Is n’t Sang Yi a small island nation? You ca n’t let them send fish and shrimp? I ’m afraid they ’ll smell like they have n’t even sent them. Slave thinks they must have no one Specialty products will give away what we have learned from us. "
Yufu said nothing, "I heard Master Chen said that Minister Sang Yi was very respectful and courteous, and he was very well-organized and speaking like an alien. He was no different from us except he was weird and short."
Yao Lan was very sensitive to the word "dwarf" and couldn't help wondering, "How short is it?"
Yu Fu skimmed his lips. "Master Chen said it was a three-inch nail. I don't think it's so exaggerated. It's about a bit shorter than Dongling people."
After two days of meeting with Sang Yi's envoy, Yufu realized that Chen Jingxing was right.
They are all short, and these envoys are all wearing extremely high hoods, and they seem to want to hide their height defects, but they look more and more degrading.
The court officials in Jin Dian were somber and the Tianjia magnificent. The sangyi envoys walked in and looked very funny.
The crowd entered the hall to the center, and they all bowed down on their knees and performed the gift of five-body throwing to the ground. The ministers called Yufu and Beili were surprised.
Always envoys to other countries, the most important thing is the dignity of their own country, and will not easily give a gift to a foreign monarch.
These ambassadors of Sang Yiguo not only performed the kneeling ceremony, but also the ceremony of the five-body vote, showing how respectful and humble they were to Beili.
All the ministers were quite satisfied. Yufu raised his hand and ordered everyone to stand up. "You envoys have worked hard in the distance. Are you still used to living in Beijing for a few days?"
At the beginning, as usual, courtesy greetings and condolences, Sang Yiguo's envoys naturally spoke habits, and Yufu said a few words of generosity and generosity, allowing them to play in Beijing without having to restrain themselves.
After talking about the scene, she slowly turned to the topic, "Sang Yiguo and I Beili have not been in contact for hundreds of years. I was surprised when I saw the book of Sang Yiguo. I do n’t know the intention of your envoys. ? "
Minister Zuo arched, respectfully, "Back to His Majesty, I have come to Beili by the order of King Sang Yi to congratulate His Majesty on his ascension to the throne. His minister knows that His Majesty has been on the throne for more than a year. We are late. Big, Sang Yiguo is so far away from Beili. When we heard the news, it was too late. Then we prepared congratulations and drifted across the sea, so that we only arrived in Beili now. "
These words are still expressing respect for Beili and Yufu, without talking about ideas.
Yu Fu smiled, "I didn't expect your country to be so valued when you ascended the throne. However, since your country has intentionally formed a relationship with Beili, why haven't you heard from it for hundreds of years?"
Minister Zuo almost didn't think about it, "Her Majesty, it's not that our country is unwilling to send envoys, but because the Kyushu mainland fell into three countries before, we didn't dare to come. One was when we heard about the war and we were worried about being implicated. The other was I ca n’t tell the situation between the three kingdoms, and I ’m afraid to come to meet one of her Majesty and offend the other two Her Majesty. But after your ascension, Beili ’s strength in the three kingdoms is well deserved, and my Majesty dare to send envoys here. ! "
This remark sounded very honest. After hearing the words from the Chinese and Chinese officials, they could not help but disdain.
Small island nations can't see the situation clearly, and they don't dare to attach at will for a while. Now seeing them as a big gift, they send a big gift to please, this is also the consistent style of small and weak countries.
There's nothing wrong with it, but it might be tempting.
Yufu nodded: "So it is. Since your country has such a deep love for you, you should also care about your country's situation. Minister Zuo, how many cities and populations does your country have today?"
Minister Zuo noticed the contempt of Minister Bei Li and the Central Minister, and thought that they despised Sang Yi Kingdom, and did not want the young lady to ask the affairs of the other country peacefully.
He froze and thought for a moment before he said, "Thank Your Majesty for your concern. I now have 35 cities in Sangyi. As for the number of people, it is less than 100,000, isn't it clear that our country has not yet Implementing the household registration. Although we learned the household registration system from the Kyushu mainland hundreds of years ago, we have not implemented this human and material resources, and we are ashamed. "
Some courtiers couldn't help but smile, thinking that this barbaric little country had come to Beili to learn something, and was still a little worried, and now they can rest assured.
Even if they learn to leave, they have the ability to do it, there is nothing to worry about.
Yufu frowned, "Oh? Couldn't the national strength of Sang Yi Kingdom even be able to complete the registration of the household registration? Then the king of your country sent so many valuable gifts, wouldn't it make the country even poorer?
