Be the King From the Time of Signing

   Chapter 16 Daqin Mission

   "Sign in successfully, congratulations on getting Lingbo Weibo."

   A good day starts with a check-in.

   Zhou Xiao didn't expect that Lingbo Weibu of Tianlong Babu also opened, uh, this is Duan Yu's life-saving means. The best policy is to beat it...

The    system is to make him grow in a wretched manner.

   After serving the **** next week, Xiao Xiao finished washing and put on the Wangu dragon robe, with a majestic bearing.

   Zhao Zilong met at this time.

   "You're back so soon?" Zhou Xiao looked at Zhao Zilong.

   Zhao Zilong half-kneeled in front of Zhou Xiao, clasped his fists and said, "Zilong has humiliated his mission and made Qin Zhan escape. Lord, please forgive me!"

   Zhao Zilong was a little ashamed.

   If the giant ape hadn't tried desperately to block him, he would have returned with Qin Zhan's head at this time.

   Zhou Xiao waved his hand and said, "What's wrong with the general? Let him escape if he escapes, it doesn't matter."

   However, Zhou Xiao was a little curious. With Zhao Zilong's cultivation, how could Qin Zhan escape from him? So he asked: "Is there a real martial artist around him?"

   "No." Zhao Zilong briefly recounted what he saw and heard in the cemetery, and then handed out the fragments of the Shanhe Sheji map, "The Shanhe Sheji map is here, please take a look at it."

   Zhou Xiao took the wooden box and opened it.

  I saw a simple cloth lying inside.

   He took it out with a little hesitation, unfolded it, and found that it was just a fragment, not a complete picture of the mountains and rivers.

   This fragment should only be the upper right corner of the map of the mountains and rivers.

   There is a complex map of mountains and rivers drawn on it, and then the two characters of mountains and rivers can be seen. The three characters of the “Sheji map” have been disconnected and should exist on other fragments.

  Shanhe and Shejitu exudes a soul-shattering sense of vicissitudes.

  When Zhou Xiao came into contact with the fragments of the Shanhe Sheji map, the yin and yang map faintly echoed it.

   Above the fragments of the Mountains and Rivers,

   A faint golden brilliance appeared.

   "Congratulations to the emperor for obtaining the treasure!" Wei Zhong said on the side.

   "Do you know the map of mountains and rivers?" Zhou Xiao asked.

  Wei Zhongdao: "When the late emperor was on the throne, he was carrying fragments of the Shanhe Sheji map. The disaster in Dazhou eight years ago was also caused by the Shanhe Sheji map. The Tian Fen royal family came and killed the late emperor..."

   "The first emperor fell, Da Zhou hurt his foundation, the dynasties were strife, and Da Zhou fell into perennial war..."

  Wei Zhong talked about the past.

  In the memory of the owner of this body, there is such a paragraph, the first emperor, that is, Zhou Xiao's 'father emperor' Zhou Wuya was executed in the palace by the Heavenly Fen imperial envoy.

   Zhou Xiao witnessed everything with his own eyes.

   It's just that he didn't know it was because of the Mountains and Rivers Society.

   In the following year, Dazhou's vassal states, vassal states, and enemy states rose up and attacked Dazhou.

   Zhou Xiao's brothers all died in battle.

   In the end, he was the only one left.

   Then Qin Qiang seized power and Zhou Xiao became a puppet...

   "Tian Fen Imperial Family?" Perhaps due to the obsession of the owner of this body, Zhou Xiao had a strong hatred for the Tian Fen Imperial Clan.

   "It seems that this map of mountains and rivers is a hot potato." Zhou Xiao said to himself.

  Da Zhou once reached its peak because of the Mountains and Rivers Shejitu, and almost died because of the Mountains and Rivers Shejitu.

   Zhou Xiao put it away and kept it quiet.

   "I have everything in the palm of my hand about the Mountains and Rivers, and I must not publicize it." Zhou Xiao urged.

   "The old slave swears to die." Wei Zhong said, "God bless Da Zhou, God bless the emperor, the mountains and rivers are in hand, and Da Zhou's return to the top is just around the corner."

   Although he knew that Wei Zhong was complimenting and flattering.

   But why does it sound so cool...

   After a little tidying up, Zhou Xiao went to the Shanhe Hall in the early morning.

   "Long Live My Emperor Long Live Long Live!"

   "All Aiqings are flat." Zhou Xiao raised his hand.

  The civil and military officials got up, and the Minister of Rites went out, "The minister has something to play."

   "Say." Zhou smiled.

   "The Royal Academy's annual martial arts exam is approaching, and the Daqin exchange mission is about to arrive. How to receive the Daqin mission this year, please ask the emperor for instructions." The Minister of Rites said.

   Zhou Xiao frowned slightly when he heard this.

  Royal Academy is a university dedicated to cultivating talents for the royal family.

   is divided into martial arts institute and literary institute.

   No matter the martial arts or the literary academy, the students who study in them are the leaders of the young generation of Dazhou.

   In the past, when the Great Zhou Dynasty was prosperous, it was friendly with Great Qin. The two countries had close exchanges and helped each other in many fields. In order to promote the exchanges between the youth of the two countries in the field of civil and military affairs, the two countries agreed that on the day of the martial arts test in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the youth of the two countries will compete and learn from each other.

   This tradition has been going on for thirty years.

   It was only after the big week that the situation was turbulent, and the younger generation of the Royal Academy was not as good as the last.

   Such discussions and exchanges have also become Da Qin's unilateral suppression and tyranny of Da Zhou.

  The relationship between the two countries has gradually faded.

   Da Qin began to look down on Da Zhou.

   And this kind of exchange has finally become a form, a means for Da Qin to show off his power to Da Zhou.

   even made excessive demands on Da Zhou.

  Zhou Xiao tapped lightly with his fingers on the armrest of the dragon chair. After a long time, his fingers stopped and said coldly, "Find a few inns in the imperial capital and let them settle down."

   "This..." The Minister of Rites looked a little weird.

   The ministers facing down also looked at each other in dismay.

   "According to the usual practice, the Daqin embassy is received according to the highest standard..." The Minister of Rites carefully said, "Is it a little negligent to let the Daqin embassy stay in the inn?"

   Daqin belongs to a big country, and it is at the same level as the former Dazhou.

   There are also dynastic surrenders.

   cannot be easily offended.

   "Neglected?" Zhou Xiao asked.

   "My Da Zhou only accepts the highest standard of friendly missions." Zhou Xiao said domineeringly, "As for the Da Qin mission, arranging an inn for them is the limit."

   "If you don't like it, let them go back to Daqin!"

   Zhou Xiao remembered that Da Qin took advantage of the fire to collect Da Zhou's "protection fee" last time.

   So there is no need to have a good face for it.

   "Yes," the Minister of Rites was shocked by Zhou Xiao's anger, and continued: "Wei Chen knows what to do."

   After speaking, the Minister of Rites returned.

   Afterwards, there was no minister to give a speech, Wei Zhong announced his withdrawal from the court, and all the officials dispersed.

  The officials were a little worried about Zhou Xiao's decision not to accept Da Qin in twos and threes.

   After all, the visitor is the Daqin embassy,

The    mission usually represents the will of the royal family.

   Neglecting the mission, which is equivalent to Daqin with bag noodles.

   "Since it is the emperor's intention, then we can only do as the emperor said." This time should be the lowest standard reception experienced by the Minister of Rites...

   Mission visit.

   Not even the palace is allowed to enter.

   If this is spread out…

   Minister of Rites shook his head and sighed. However, after thinking about it, the reception of the Daqin embassy in previous years was quite annoyed, but this time, it seemed strangely comfortable to let them eat and eat.

   I felt a lot better all of a sudden.

   The Daqin mission came earlier than expected.

   arrived at the Great Zhou Imperial Capital the next morning.

   This time, the leaders of the mission were not only military generals, but also civil servants.

  The younger generation, all dressed in fancy clothes, looked at the whole big week with a look down.

   "How prosperous the Great Zhou Dynasty was in those days, it is really sad that it has fallen to such a level now." A young man said.

   "Yeah. Da Zhou has become so weak, is it necessary to hold the annual martial arts exchange? It's a waste of our time." Another person said.

   "What does that matter? Just come and play. The Dazhou royal family entertains and entertains every year, without spending our own money."

"Too…"

   Just arrived at the gate of the Great Zhou imperial capital, Zhang Li, Minister of Rites, has been waiting there for a long time. When I saw the Daqin embassy, ​​I greeted it without rudeness...
