Chapter 959 The Nine Princesses of Xizhou Ascend to the Palace

"The envoy from Xizhou, Dun Mugu, brought Qu Tianze, the son of the King of Xizhou, and Qu Xiaofeng, the daughter of the King of Xizhou, to the Later Han Dynasty to have an audience with the Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty!"

"This is a serious matter."

"I hope Emperor Yun of the Later Han Dynasty will tell me in detail."

"In addition, there is another letter, which I submit here."

This middle-aged man who came from Xizhou, was dusty, had a simple face but was extremely smart in his eyes. Instead of kneeling, he made a ninety-degree bow, raised his hands, and held a letter.

After that, he continued to bow.

Waiting for Hou Hanyi's reaction.

"Be bold!"

"When you see the dragon's face, how can you not kneel down?"

The Minister of Rites, the Minister of Rites, had already stood up before summoning the Xizhou envoy to the small yellow gate and returned to the queue of civil servants. The same was true for Li Zan, the Minister of the Ministry of War. Therefore, when he saw that the Xizhou envoy did not even kneel down, he felt happy and walked quickly. He walked out, knelt on his knees, pushed the wat board in his hand forward, and made a gesture of cupping his hands. With a standard diplomatic posture, he suppressed the arrogance of the Xizhou mission: "Barbarians are afraid of power but not immoral. Also, although we in the Later Han Dynasty had great virtues and gifts, we were not like barbarians. This is a clear warning from the Holy One!"

The Xizhou envoy, who did not understand ancient Chinese, had a question mark on his face.

On the noble side, there are also many people with question marks on their faces.

What do you mean?

These uneducated bastards really don’t understand!

Emperor Chongping was also stunned for a moment, and then he calmly studied Pin's words, and then understood the meaning of the Minister of Rites from these verbose words.

Translate it in human language: The Minister of Rites wanted to control the Xizhou envoy, so he took advantage of the fact that the Xizhou envoy did not understand the rules and used the reason why the Xizhou envoy was disrespectful by not kneeling when they visited Emperor Chongping, indicating that I should do it in the Later Han Dynasty. Refusing to receive such uncultured barbarians, the implicit meaning is to force the Xizhou envoy to kneel down and show the priority. It also wants to tell the Xizhou envoy that when you arrive in the territory of the Later Han Dynasty, you must abide by the Later Han Dynasty. rules!

However, the Minister of Rites didn't expect that the envoy from Xizhou didn't understand him when he just made a docile excuse!

In fact, this is also because the cultures of all worlds are different.

When the Later Han Dynasty came here, they would kneel down.

But in some dynasties, there is no kneeling ceremony.

Liu Bei could visit the thatched cottage three times, but Sun Quan could not.

The truth is nothing more than this.

Not to mention that only the Xizhou envoy standing at the front made a ninety-degree bow. The two people behind him, Qu Tianze and Qu Xiaofeng, were both standing, and at most they did not look directly at Emperor Chongping.

How disrespectful to the emperor!

If he can't handle the Xizhou mission after Emperor Chongping made such a huge sacrifice, he might as well stop being the Minister of Rites!

I can't afford to lose this person!

Although the Xizhou envoy with a simple and honest face did not understand what the Minister of Rites was talking about, he still understood the previous sentence: "When you see the face of a dragon, how can you not kneel down?" Meaning, he straightened his back in silence, returned to his normal posture, and said in a deep voice: "Even if you meet me, the Lord of Xizhou, you can only kneel down on one knee. The king of your country is the Lord of your country, not my Lord of Xizhou." Lord, I am here to represent the will of Xizhou. Even if the two countries are at war, there is still a saying that we will not kill the envoys. We represent Xizhou and come to form an alliance with the Later Han Dynasty. Could it be that we are trying to humiliate you?"

It can be heard that this envoy from Xizhou has some culture.

Not much, though.

It may also be because Xizhou is located outside the Central Plains.

The writing style is really not good.

Even the best messenger is only average.

Fortunately, this was an audience and not a negotiation. Although there was a slight hiccup, neither the Minister of Rites nor the envoy from Xizhou refused to give in, but it did not affect Emperor Chongping and the civil and military officials from understanding what was meant.

There is no rule of kneeling and worshiping in Xizhou?

Emperor Chongping looked at this scene thoughtfully.

I weighed it in my mind.

He glanced at Lin Chaoci with his peripheral vision.

Seeing that Lin Chaoci had no reaction and was still eating melons and watching the show, at most the ninth princess of Xizhou looked at Lin Chaoci with something wrong.

At this point, I took a step back.

<divclass="contentadv">interjected: "Xizhou...came for alliance?"

Emperor Chongping only used one sentence.

He just put the quarrel behind him.

The Minister of Rites glanced at Emperor Chongping in confusion, but did not dare to say anything. The main reason was that the emperor did not pursue the matter anymore. If the Minister of the Ministry of Rites pursues the case again, he would be going against the emperor, which would be equivalent to causing trouble for the emperor.

He wouldn't do that.

Thinking of this, he stood up silently.

He returned to his own ranks silently.

Even if the other civil servants cast speechless looks, they were all ignored by him. The shame of the Ministry of Rites has long been the same as the bottom line of the Ministry of Rites. It is quite flexible. As long as he, the Minister of Rites, does not feel embarrassed, then he, the Minister of Rites, will not be embarrassed. It's the same as not being embarrassed.

Although the Xizhou Mission didn't know what happened, they didn't care.

It doesn’t matter if it’s a temptation or not.

It doesn't affect their intentions.

He bowed again, still not kneeling, but just let Dai Quan take the letter away and presented it to the Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty above, then straightened up and waited for the next step.

at the same time.

Qu Tianze and Qu Xiaofeng, brothers and sisters, were also communicating silently with their eyes.

Looking at the handsome young man sitting in front of all the civil and military officials, even in front of several princes wearing python robes, just below the steps of the Chongping Emperor's Dragon Chair, with his hands folded in his sleeves, he looked like the old man watching the theater in later generations. , Qu Tianze asked his biological sister with his eyes: "Is it him?"

Qu Xiaofeng successfully matched his brother's brain waves.

Nod slightly.

A hint of complexity flashed in his eyes.

Qu Tianze's whole body was in a mess. He looked at Lin Chaoci unconfidently and then at his own sister, with clear doubts in his eyes: "Tell me when you go back that you met a very young Jin Yi. Commander, I even went out of my way to find out what kind of official Commander Jinyi was. I was mentally prepared, but now you tell me that a spy chief from the Central Plains is qualified to stand in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and to stand in front of several officials. In front of the prince or prince, looking at the court, only he and the emperor above him can sit? "

Qu Xiaofeng was also a little at a loss.

The Feng Dynasty received the support of the Tang Dynasty and wanted to annex Xizhou.

Fortunately, when she met Gu Xiaowu, who was said to be from the Central Plains, she remembered Lin Chaoci's reminder and paid more attention. Sure enough, she discovered the fact that Gu Xiaowu and Gu Jian were colluding, although she could not stop Feng. The soldiers and horses attacked Danchi, but because of her timely warning, her grandfather King Danchi and her father King Xizhou, as well as many backbones of Danchi lineage and Xizhou lineage, survived.

Now, Danchi's territory is lost.

Xizhou's territory is also in danger.

There are only two ways before her, one is to marry the Toyo Dynasty in exchange for peace, and the other is to go out and find a way out, using the power of other dynasties to regain the territory of the Danchi lineage and resolve the crisis in Xizhou.

And the first thing she thought of was Lin Chaoci.

Because only Lin Chaoci allowed her to witness the power of destroying a country.

It is common sense that only a dynasty with the power to destroy a country can resist a Toyo dynasty that also has the power to destroy a country.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a while, she still took the initiative to invite her brother and the envoy to embark on this road that she had walked once before. She was not only making up for the consequences of her mistrust of Gu Jian , and also worked hard to refuse the marriage with Toyoto.

Because of this, she followed the team to the Later Han Dynasty.

It's just... no one told her that Lin Chaoci's status could be so high!

How many princes are standing and you are sitting?

Are you their royal uncle?

Is he the younger brother or older brother of the Emperor of the Later Han Dynasty?

This thigh...can't be hugged wrong, right?
