"What is this?" Gu Rujiu took the bronzing post from Jin Marting and was curious.
"It's the invitation list for this state banquet," said Jin Yang. "The Duobao Kingdom is not here." He had heard about the persuasion of Mrs. Zhou's family outside the Kangquan Palace for a long time, and he was very happy with his views on the matter for a long time. Same as him.
This time, if the Empress Dowager does not make up his mind, he will also take the opportunity to punish Zhou's family. Some things can be opened with one eye closed, but some things can't be opened for the first time.
Gu Rujiu opened the famous post. In addition to the official marquises of more than three ranks and the envoys of various countries, there are also some well-known literati warriors. She thought carefully and she understood why.
"This time, there are countries in the mission that want to talk to us about Dafeng?" Gu Rujiu glanced roughly. "Could it be Gao Luoguo?"
The grievance between Gao Luoguo and Dafeng can be traced back two hundred years. At that time, when Dafeng just established the dynasty, Gao Luoguo took the opportunity to invade, and then neither country got a bargain, so Gao Luoguo proposed that as long as Dafeng was willing to marry a princess to their host, they were willing to negotiate.
However, Jin Tai / Zu directly stated that Dafeng did not get along with each other, did not cut the land, and did not compensate. Gao Luoguo is not willing to retreat, then continue to fight until they are afraid.
Although the Gao Luo team was powerful in combat, they were located in the north. In the winter, they were covered with snow. Not to mention the food and grass needed by the army, even their own nationals could not eat enough. What's more, even if they have surplus grain and grass, they can't be transported to the border in such a bad climate.
But Dafeng is different. Dafeng is rich in products and geographical location. In addition, when the war started, many people and wealthy merchants donated money and food spontaneously, so Dafeng and Gao Luo fought a procrastination battle.
The final outcome was that a prince of Gaul was captured, the general was shot before the battle, and Gaoluo ceded the land to pay the money before redeeming their prince.
After this battle, Gao Luoguo was honest for nearly a hundred years, and then a hundred years ago, taking advantage of the Dafeng Regent and the new emperor to fight for profit again.
This time the ending is even more tragic, because the king of Gao Luoguo wanted to experience the wonderful taste of driving, and then he was caught alive by the Dafeng soldiers who attacked the Gaoluo barracks.
So when the Gaoluo King, who was conquered by the king, was escorted into Beijing, he was ruthlessly watched by the people of Beijing.
After this war, Gaolo came down honestly again, not only ceded the ground to pay compensation, but also bowed down to Dafeng and became the largest subsidiary country under Dafeng's name.
It's just that this dependent country doesn't seem very obedient, always secretly pondering in private how to find shame and find their dignity.
"Gao Luoguo has ambitious ambitions. They came this time, perhaps not to come to celebrate us, but to inquire about the news," Gu Rujiu put down the gold-plated name post and frowned. "After losing a few times, I was still stubborn. "
"Since they dare to come, what are we afraid of?" Jin Yang lowered his eyelids, but could not conceal his ambition. "The ancestors can hurt them and fear them, so I can."
"I believe that His Majesty can do it, even better than them." Gu Rujiu took his hand and said with unprecedented solemnity, "And I will support you and accompany you as always."
Silently holding Gu Rujiu into his arms, Jin Yang held his slightly petite lover tightly in his arms, and the last trace of uneasiness in his heart disappeared without a trace.
When his mother died of illness, he was still young, but even if he could not remember his mother's appearance, he still remembered the words she said before she died, and the strength of the thin hand holding her wrist.
"From now on, no one will be able to protect you, you have to live well."
At that time, his wrist was sorely pinched by his mother, but he jotted down this sentence.
He survived and survived by all means, avoiding the conspiracy of the princess, and riding on the carriage that came to Beijing. Those precious things that he carefully kept for a long time, his mother left him, were used by him to bribe the guards who came to pick up their royal nephews, and then rely on these eunuchs and guards to understand the aristocrats in the capital. Temperament, understand the hobby and character of the queen mother.
It is said that he deserves to be the son of Sima, so he advances and retreats well, and is well-mannered. In fact, his birth mother died prematurely, and the father did not care about him. Be cautious and do your best to make people clueless.
After entering Beijing, he worked hard to learn manners, figured out the hobby of the queen mother and the family, and tried to make his words and deeds more pleasing.
He knew the personalities of his other competitors, so he showed more humility and was eventually selected by the queen mother to become the monarch of Dafeng.
At the beginning, he was envious for a long time, because she had something she didn't have, the love of her parents, the maintenance of her siblings, and a healthy body. Perhaps because of this, he couldn't bear to lose this for a long time, and working hard to maintain it for a long time was like maintaining the beauty of his childhood fantasy.
He didn't know when his thoughts became men and women's feelings, and he spent all his time to marry a long time into the palace. However, he was vaguely disturbed in his heart. This discomfort was due to his fear of being wronged for a long time, forced for a long time, and long unwilling to marry into the palace.
It has been said for a long time now that she believes in herself and is willing to accompany herself. The hollow in his heart is finally filled, and it will overflow soon. It is sweet and warm, just like having the best dream in the world.
After holding Gu Rujiu hard, Jin Yang worried that she would hurt her, so she let her go and hugged her.
"Your Majesty." Gu Rujiu was frightened by his sudden move and quickly grabbed his neck, and then found that Jin Yang's throat knot made her so tempted to lick.
"Huh?" Jin Yang smiled and looked down at her in her arms, and then walked towards the bed net.
"It's not dark yet." Gu Rujiu wrapped around Jin Yang's neck, looked away from his throat knot, and then fell to his chest.
"For me, I have been around for a long time, regardless of day or night." Jin Yang laughed softly, and his chest shook.
Gu Rujiu leaned his head against his chest and heard his heartbeat.
The palace people who were waiting all around stepped forward to put down the veil and then stepped back out in small steps.
Bai Xian and He Ming stayed outside the hall, and let the spring breeze blow on their faces.
He Ming squinted to Bai Xian and hummed: "I heard that Grandpa Bai came in very much valued by the Queen Mother."
"Yo, our family is guilty of meritorious deeds, how can it be comparable to He Gonggong," Bai Xian sneered, He Ming ridiculed him all day long in front of the empress and the empress queen.
He Ming flicked the dust in his hand and lowered his voice, Yin and Yang said with a strange air: "This is also thanks to the opportunity given by Grandpa Bai. If you did not accept bribes from the Sima family in private, which round would it take for our family to show their face under the majesty?" Said At this point, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and whispered, "Grandpa, if you know that the empress queen knows that you were punished by your majesty because of her private dealings with the Sima family, how would the empress queen see you?"
He Ming bites "you", but the ridicule in the words can't hide it. Before the Sima family had the heart to fight for the position of queen, many people knew it. Now if the empress dowager knows that Bai Xian was punished because of the Sima family's affair, there will inevitably be some pimples in her heart. At that time, Bai Xian will be useless even in front of the empress dowager.
What He Ming could think of was naturally thought of Bai Xian. His face changed, and he no longer argued with He Ming.
In Zichen Hall, □□ melts and warms the jade.
After the official banquet list was officially released, Duobao Guo jumped up and down, and they felt that this was a lesson taught by the Dafeng Emperor. When the banquet opened, they would still be given a chance to enter. His Majesty the Emperor was really so cruel, he didn't even plan to let them in.
The officials who had cursed Dafeng privately before did not give them a face, but now they started to blame their colleagues. When I come back to China, I do n’t want any beautiful women. Why do I want to tease Feng Guo ’s good-looking women? These are good, not only angering Feng Guo ’s family and nobles, but also causing them to lose face.
Even the poor and weak projectiles on the side dare to take the opportunity to laugh at them, which is simply a shame.
Unfortunately, no matter how angry or dissatisfied they are, they can only stay in the yard honestly, watching the envoys of other countries dressed brightly, riding on the exquisite and beautiful carriage of Fengguo, and then heading towards the palace.
In their view, this kind of carriage inlaid with jewels and hung with golden bells was qualified by the king. Feng Guo used this kind of carriage to entertain the envoys, which shows that the carriage that their emperor rides must be more luxurious and more refined.
In fact, as expected by the envoys of the Duobao Kingdom, when the imperial servants appeared in front of the envoys waiting for them, they were almost reluctant to look away.
What a beautiful golden jade carriage, how did the soaring dragon pattern be carved, and why does it look like it is real?
Even the people who drove the car were wearing precious jade ornaments, which shows how rich and powerful the honorable Dafeng Kingdom is.
Among these envoys, there were many people who had come to Dafeng, but even after seeing the richness of Dafeng, they still couldn't help but marvel at the bottom of their hearts, showing some envy on their faces.
The exquisite carriage was stopped outside the Suzaku Hall, and the envoys extended their heads, carefully looking at the direction of the carriage, expecting the emperor of this powerful and rich country to show his true face.
The in blue bowed forward and opened the curtain. A young man wearing a crown and a black dragon brocade came out. The man looked very young and his skin was very fair, but his whole body exuded the majesty that others did not dare to despise.
"The princes have to honor your majesty!" Dafeng's civil and military officials bowed in salute, and the voice was solemn and conscientious, so that the envoys of other countries could not help but bow their heads.
Of course, there were also courageous people who secretly used Yu Guang to look at the young emperor, and then they saw a woman dressed in vermilion phoenix in Yulong.
The woman was half a head shorter than the emperor, her dark and bright hair became complicated and beautiful, and the beautiful Jin Fengbu shook her wings to fly.
"Congratulations to the empress queen." Dafeng Wenwu Baiguan bowed again and saluted.
So this is the queen of Dafeng? The envoys stared at the two empresses standing side by side, and the awe in their hearts made them lower their heads again.
"Zhongqing is exempt from courtesy." Jin Yang stepped on the footrest and walked off the carriage, then reached out to Gu Rujiu and took her hand towards the Suzaku Hall.
There are nine levels of jade steps in the suzaku hall. Above the jade steps are placed dragon and phoenix thrones. There are two steps between the seats. The dragon seat is slightly forward and the Phoenix seat is slightly behind.
Jin Yang stopped and whispered a word to He Ming.
Gu Rujiu, who was holding his hand, wanted to block it, but Jin Yang stopped it.
Standing close to the two, Zhang Zhonghan bowed and stood motionless, like a sculpture.
Then the ministers saw several eunuchs holding the dragon and phoenix thrones side by side, Li Guangji standing in the front row slightly frowned, and turned their heads to see Zhang Zhonghan and Sima Hong. The former did not respond, and the latter looked a little bit bad. .
He had long known Zhang Zhonghan's habit of liking and sliming, so his reaction to Zhang Zhonghan was not unexpected, but Sima Hong's reaction was a bit interesting.
Then he deliberately looked at Gu Changling, who was standing on the other side. Although the other party no longer has an official position, as the first-class grandfather, Gu Changling stood in the first row of the group of surname Lord.
Zhang Zhonghan didn't respond. He didn't expect Gu Changling to make a look that he didn't see anything. The queen was well-conserved, as if the empress was loved by the emperor, not from their family.
Since it is a state banquet, the meaning is naturally extraordinary. The prime minister Zhang Zhonghan read out the decree thanking all envoys from afar, and then Jin Yang gave a short speech at today's banquet. The state banquet was finally officially opened.
Delicate dishes were served on the table, accompanied by music like fairy music. On the stage in the hall, there were beautiful dancers dancing, which made many first-time envoys dazzled. It is good to taste food, or to watch beautiful women.
Fortunately, these envoys still remember their identities. Even though they were very amazed in their hearts, they still tried to maintain the demeanor of a country's ministers.
"Today, I was fortunate to see such a delicious food and Xianle. It was a blessing for me to wait for the courtiers." As a loyal younger brother of Dafengguo, Karu Guo stood up immediately and started a full-scale approach to Dafeng. Flattering.
The meaning inside and outside the words is that Dafeng is so prosperous, the emperor of Dafeng is so great, and the queen of Dafeng is more beautiful than the goddess. Karu State can follow Dafeng and become a subsidiary country of Dafeng.
For the first time I saw Karu ’s touted skills, Gu Rujiu listened to these words and felt very embarrassed, but when she saw Jin Yang and the officials ’calm and humble expression, she sighed again for her ability to accept.
"Thank you for your country's love and your people's trust in Dafeng. You have worked hard from afar, and I respect you for a drink." Jin Yang lifted his glass and raised his hand slightly.
Karu Kingdom Prime Minister Duomi stood up excitedly, holding up the wine glass with both hands: "Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for giving wine." After that, he drank the wine in the glass before Jin Marting.
Other envoys who were interested in patting Dafeng's farts felt that Karu was not ashamed of them. In order to please Dafeng the emperor, he didn't even have a face, and he was jealous that the envoy of Karu could get a toast by His Majesty the Emperor.
So some clever envoys learned the way of Duomi, and said a basket of beautiful words, then satisfactorily drank a glass of wine with the honorable Dafeng emperor.
However, Duomi was a little unhappy with the behavior of these people borrowing his own means, so after the round of toasting and flattering, he presented a gift specially prepared by the king for the wedding of Emperor Dafeng.
They knew in their hearts that for the rich Dafeng, gold and silver jewelry could not enter their eyes at all, so the gifts they presented all carried a good and auspicious meaning.
For example, in the legend, eating sprites that can bless people for a hundred years of life, blessing couples love the white-headed moonstone, and colorful antlers that can bring luck to people.
These three gifts are said to be awesome, but in Gu Rujiu's view, the dried sprites look like dry grass. The so-called moonstone is a kind of glass jade, and the colorful deer antlers seem to be no different from ordinary antlers. .
But seeing Karu Guocheng's eloquent words, she still thanked with a smile. Regardless of whether the things are true or false, there is no use, at least people's hearts are rare.
Instead, Jin Yang was very interested in the moonstone, not only reached out and touched, but also said a good word to Duomi.
The following gifts from other countries are all rare treasures, but unfortunately, since Jin Yang succeeded to seeing those things in the private library of Emperor Xiandi, he has no interest in these so-called treasures.
No matter how valuable the treasures are, I have seen them and read them a lot.
"His Majesty the Emperor," Gao Luoguo suddenly gave a bottle of gold trees, and suddenly said, "Seniors have heard of respect for the great Dafeng country, there are many powerful warriors. Although the subordinates are not very good, they also hope to see One or two, I beg your majesty to succeed. "
Here comes, and finally comes, this kind of behavior that the neighboring country wants to compete with this palace finally appeared.
Gu Rujiu glanced interestedly at the emissary of the Gao Luo Kingdom. The other party's appearance was very gentle and beautiful, unlike the Gao Luo people, but more like the appearance of the Dafeng people.
Jin Yang saw the emissary led by Gao Luoguo for a long time, and then he glanced at it. Then attached Gu Rujiu's ear canal, "How do you feel for a long time?"
Seeing the martial arts of Jin Mart made such an intimate manner, Gu Rujiu coughed and saw that he was still innocent. He had to say, "Since the other party is interested in asking for advice, how can we not agree?"
"It's reasonable to say for a long time," Jin Yang smiled at her, slowly sitting upright, looking down at the emperor Gao Luo, who bowed down below, and said loudly, "I am also very curious about the warriors in your country. In this case, it is better to let the warriors of the two countries compare and try to let everyone relax. "
Gao Luoguo's every move after he entered Beijing was all under his eyes. How could he not know Gao Luoguo's plans?
As for the envoy who looks like Dafeng ...
Jin Yang took the wine glass and took a sip, with a smile on his lips, the appearance of a benevolent prince.
Swords are also known as weapons used by gentlemen. Dafeng has many well-known swordsmen, and most of these swordsmen are the handsome and handsome sons of both the military and the military.
So when Gao Luoguo swordsman with dark eyes and black nose stood with Dafeng swordsman with graceful appearance, everyone felt that this scene hurt his eyes, and then his eyes fell on this Jinpao swordsman.
Of course, many people turned their attention to Gu Rujiu and Gu Changling, because it was no one else who represented Dafeng Swordsman who played Gu Rujiu's elder brother Gu Zhiyu.
Although Gu Zhiyu is a young man in Hongyun Temple, he is a civil servant, but his swordsmanship is definitely outstanding among the civil servants.
Gao Luoguo's envoys had seen Gu Zhiyuan, so they all knew that he was just a literary minister. They sent the first master of swordsmanship in the country, but Dafeng only sent a civilian to deal with them. This is really too much to look at them.
Because of the extreme dissatisfaction in his heart, he inevitably brought out some points. Gu Rujiu saw the ugly face of the Minister of the Kingdom of Gauluo, enough to hook his lips.
These people from the Gaul Kingdom, if they despise literati in their hearts, they will suffer.
Jin Yang picked up the glass and lifted it towards her. She had to pick up the glass and touched him.
The wine glasses in their hands are beautiful. In fact, the glass is not wine but water.
"The comer is a visitor, please." Gu Zhiyu took a beautiful sword flower and smiled toward the Gao Luoguo swordsman.
"Please." Gao Luoguo's swordsman returned with a salute, and said some lame Dafeng words, "So, I'm welcome."
Swordsmanship is fast, smart and clever. He can become the best swordsman of Gao Luoguo because of his fast sword skills, so fast that most people can't resist.
It's a pity that the invincible offensive of the past is completely useless in front of this seemingly creaky swordsman. His offensive was stopped by the other party. The other party's swordsmanship seemed to be faster and more dexterous than him.
How can this be? !
He was frightened, avoiding the opponent's sword with some embarrassment on his side, and using his backhand to separate the opponent's offense, he only got a moment of breath.
Why would a civil servant have such exquisite swordsmanship? !
How many powerful characters does this Dafeng have, or is it just a civil servant, who has forced him to almost no fight back?
In the eyes of Gao Luoguo's swordsman, although he hid hard, he managed to escape.
But in the eyes of others, Gu Zhiyu is at ease, but he is extremely embarrassed. Even in the eyes of many people, if not Dafeng swordsman taking into account the face of Gao Luoguo, intending to release water, I am afraid that Gao Luoguo's swordsman would have lost.
People are biased. Who is the Dafeng swordsman who looks good and graceful, and the Gao Luoguo swordsman's face looks like an emergency collection?
Without comparison, there is no harm. With the handsome young swordsmanship suppressing each other, everyone present has subconsciously raised the young swordsmanship in their own minds.
This shows that provocation needs to be cautious, and looking at the face is harmful.
