Dressed as cannon fodder to raise cubs for the villain prince [Transmigration Book]

After several months of preparation, it finally came to the grand ceremony for the coming of all nations.

The first day of September, Boshin Day, good luck, everything is suitable.The autumn was crisp and sunny, and the Son of Heaven hosted a banquet in the Linshui Hall next to the Jinming Pond to receive the envoys from various countries.

Baiyue to the south of Yunmeng, Dongyi to the east, Xirong to the west, plus the Nanhu tribe split from the North Hu, there are probably hundreds of vassal states or tribes in total.But these are only in name. The vassal states or tribes pay a small tribute every year, and a big tribute every five years. They will pay the emperor with the best items unique to the local area, and the emperor will also reward them.

In fact, it is a framed high-level goods transaction. Of course, the vassal states and tribes should lower their stances, similar to courtiers or juniors, while the emperor is still a high-ranking king, a bit similar to the king's land under the world, and the land of the land. Wang Chen's pride.

Of course, in addition to the vassal states and vassal tribes, there are also those who don’t buy it, such as the Beihu tribe after moving north, the countries of the Western Regions, and Dongying, and the imperial court will regard these as uncivilized lands.

This time, it was the big tribute every five years, so it was held in a more grand manner, and the scene was also very large.

The envoys from various countries offered tribute or gifts one by one. Because there were too many, some precious ones might be presented to the emperor for a look.Even so, it took a long time just to make the tribute.

But for many people, it will not be boring. After all, all the treasures that can be presented to the emperor are rare treasures that are hard to find in the world, especially the world is so big, there are all kinds of wonders. Many people have heard of it. What has never been seen can be an eye-opener.

There are Ye Mingzhu, Nanzhu as big as a baby's fist, and many ivory products that were tributed by the South Vietnamese countries. Among them, there is a Dawa tribe who directly paid tribute to an elephant, which surprised everyone present.

After all, these aristocratic families, civil and military ministers, have seen a lot of ivory products, but they have never seen a live elephant.In fact, this elephant is only a young elephant about one year old, but it looks like a giant to them. In addition, the elephant has a long trunk, big ears, loud cry, and looks quite docile. Feed it a lot of fruits and vegetables, and it is a joy to eat.

At first, everyone looked intimidated, but after a while, they felt that the elephant was naive and cute.

For example, the Nanhu tribe paid tribute, in addition to many animal skins and medicinal materials, there were also fine horses.In the Western Regions, there are many rare treasures and spices, as well as beauties wearing veils and long skirts that show their navels. They are so beautiful and mysterious, and they have a mysterious color of the Western Regions, which attracted the attention of all the ministers. The child almost stared out.

As for the Beihu, in addition to the same animal skin medicinal materials as the Nanhu, it also offered a snow-white wolf pup and several falcons.

This wolf cub looked just like Sam, except that his eyes were ice blue, and he was very lively and active in the cage, as if he couldn't see that he would become a majestic wolf in the future.

When Shen Chu saw that he was about to be petrified by the little wolf cub in an instant, it took a lot of effort to hold back from masturbating.As a result, looking around, he found that the surrounding ministers were quite afraid of this wolf cub, and someone who loved him like him seemed like a different kind.

The Beihu envoy clenched his right hand and put his fist on his chest and said, "Our Hongji tribe regards white wolves as auspicious. Huohu Khan got this auspicious auspiciousness, and dedicated it to the emperor Yunmeng."

Before the emperor could say anything, a civil servant stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this white wolf must not be accepted!"

The emperor asked strangely, "Dong Aiqing, why is this?"

This person is Dong Chang, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, who is over fifty years old, and he is quite trusted by the emperor when it comes to divination.If other people stood up and said this, they would have been reprimanded by the emperor long ago, and there would be no chance to explain it.

Dong Chang said tremblingly, "Wolves are ferocious and extremely difficult to tame. Even if they are just cubs now, they will grow into a wolf in the future, and they may hurt people. Moreover, I watched the sky last night and found that there is a big evil in the west. Sign, now it seems that it may be the white wolf cub, the main culprit, it is unlucky."

The Son of Heaven seemed to be hesitant, and the Beihu envoy on the side quit, and said angrily, "Our Huohu Khan is so sincere, yet we are so slandered by you Central Plains people!"

"Since that's the case, we don't need to sacrifice this white wolf cub!"

The Beihu tribe has repeatedly violated the frontier, and the relationship with Yunmeng is not very good. This time, they came here with gifts from thousands of miles. He was aggressive, and he was also worried about the fulfillment of Dong Chang's words, so he was not very happy.

Shen Chu also had contact with this Dong Chang because of preparations for the coming of all nations to the DPRK. He was an old man with a staid personality.But he didn't believe that this wolf cub was a bad omen, it was so ridiculous.

What's more, the grand ceremony of coming to court from all nations was organized by Honglu Temple, and the emperor would be unhappy when the time came, wouldn't it be that they were thankless for their effort.

He stood up and said, "Master Dong watches the sky at night, and there is a great ominous omen in the west, but he doesn't know where it will be fulfilled. If it is fulfilled on this wolf cub, I will dream of a great country, so I have nothing to fear."

The emperor stroked his little triangular beard and felt that what he said made sense.Even if the ominous omen that Dong Chang observed is true, it may not necessarily be true for this wolf cub. A little wolf cub can become a ominous omen.

At this time, another minister stood up and said, "In my opinion, this omen of great danger that Mr. Dong pointed out should not be taken lightly. Although wolf cubs are not scary, the grown-up wolf cubs should not be underestimated, let alone It is said that there is a wolfish ambition hidden behind this."

This person is none other than Pan Jian, the steadfast servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Shen Chu couldn't help frowning, he couldn't underestimate the grown-up wolf cub, and it was hard for people not to think about the wolf's ambition hidden.

Many people whispered secretly, and even secretly looked at the fifth prince Li Di who was sitting in front of him.Some of the unresponsive ones slowly came to their senses, and thought that the five princes were half of the barbarian blood. Now that they have made great military exploits for Yunmeng, they are not grown-up wolf cubs. The people of Mengsheji are not a good thing.

Everyone's thoughts were misled by Dong Chang and Pan Jian. In addition, almost all the ministers here did not have a good opinion of Beihu, and they were already prejudiced, so they felt that the gifts brought by the Hongji tribe of Beihu must have bad intentions. .

Shen Chu stood up and bowed respectfully to the emperor, "I heard that many tribes in Beihu use wolves as their totems, just like our Han people worship dragons and phoenixes. There is even a legend that the people of Beihu regard wolves as their ancestors."

"The gift brought by the envoy of Hongji Lahutu is full of respect from the Beihu people to His Majesty."

Many of the ministers present were dissatisfied with Shen Chu, and felt that he was clearly speaking for barbarians at this time.

Shen Chu also felt very helpless, could it be that he was allowed to see the prince's faction misleading everyone's thinking, not to mention that he didn't want to see the fire burn on Li Di, and if the emperor really rejected Beihu's gift at the banquet, when the time came The Honglu Temple gang couldn't please them either.

The Son of Heaven said slowly, "Shen Aiqing is right. I, Yunmeng, is a country of etiquette. Anyone who comes from afar is a guest. As the saying goes, goose feathers are sent thousands of miles away, and gifts are light on affection. There is no reason to refuse."

The emperor had already spoken, and all the ministers had no objections. To Zhang Yu, they just wanted to stir up suspicion in everyone's hearts, and few people really cared about a wolf cub.

Of course, except Dong Chang, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, this old-fashioned little old man really thinks that the wolf cub sent by the Beihu tribe is unlucky, although the direct cause and effect with his hexagram is not strong.It is precisely because the emperor and courtiers understand Dong Chang's character that they have to take it to heart.

The Northern Hu envoy also bowed to the Son of Heaven, and turned to Shen Chudao, "Master Shen is indeed as talented as in the legend, and has great knowledge and knowledge. He even knows the legend of us Beihu people."

"Huohu Khan ordered me to dedicate the auspicious white wolf to the emperor. It was a kind intention. I didn't expect to be slandered by you. These two adults need to apologize to us." He pointed to Dong Changhe, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple. Pan Jian, Minister of Rites.

Although Dong Chang was old-fashioned, he had a relatively upright personality. He felt that what he said just now was indeed not rigorous enough, which caused misleading to everyone, so he handed over his hands and said, "What I said is not accurate enough. It is true that the omen of great evil in the hexagram is not necessarily related to This wolf cub is related, and it has disobeyed the kindness of the Hongjila tribe, so I apologize here."

Pan Jian didn't feel that what she said was wrong, she seemed to be stubborn and refused to admit her mistake, and she reluctantly admitted her mistake after being signaled by the prince.

This episode finally came to an end, and when all the tributes of the countries were displayed, it was almost noon, and the emperor and the envoys of the countries gave a banquet.All kinds of exotic songs and dances took turns, feasting everyone's eyes.

Then there is the lottery shooting activity.As the name suggests, the lottery shooting activity is the emperor's prize. There are three kinds of competitions, namely, the number of bow stones, riding and archery skills, and accuracy. Each outstanding person can get a gift from the emperor.

The Yunmeng Dynasty paid attention to Confucian generals, generals who marched and fought must also be good at four books and five classics, and civil officials must also be good at riding and shooting, so it is common for civil officials to be transferred to supervise the army, and military generals to be county guards.

The number of bow stones is the most simple and direct in the first round. It mainly depends on the strength of the arm. Whoever can draw the heaviest bow will win. If the number of stones is the same, the one with the better accuracy will win.This is similar to modern weightlifting, which is a comparison of strength. It looks simple, but everyone likes it.

The palace people directly displayed the lottery prizes bestowed by the emperor first. The first one was a jade ruyi, one hundred taels of gold, and one mistletoe pearl;

All civil and military officials and envoys from various countries can participate, including all soldiers guarding.

With such a heavy reward, there are an endless stream of people participating.Many soldiers came from ordinary backgrounds, and a hundred taels of gold was an unprecedented number. It was just enough to draw the bow, and it didn't matter if it couldn't be drawn.

The bows and arrows generally used in the army are two-stone bows, which are equivalent to about 120 catties, and there are also lighter ones. Generally, they can draw more than two stone bows, even if the arm strength is relatively strong.Of course, if you can't draw the two stone bows, you still don't need to go up, and it's basically impossible to get rewards.

Before each round of competition, there will be warm-up programs such as color opera and drum music.There are clowns with white faces, and they perform the appearance of pulling a heavy bow that cannot be opened on the field, just for the entertainment of others.Naturally, there will be no one who can't even pull the two stone bows to try, otherwise he will only feel like this buffoon.

The opening time of the color play was very short. After three drum beats, the registered contestants came on the stage one after another, all of them tall, burly, and powerful.

The first one got off to a good start, and directly pulled out a four-stone bow equivalent to 240 catties, and the accuracy was not bad.The four-stone bow is considered a strong bow, and there are not a few that can be drawn, but there are very few that can be really used.

Afterwards, many of them failed to exceed the four-stone bow. Even if some were able to draw the four-stone bow, their accuracy was not as good as the first one.

Then Duan Ying, the fourth-rank imperial guard in front of the palace, stepped forward and directly drew a bow with eight stones equivalent to 480 catties, and the head was not bad.

There was a burst of jubilant applause, and even the emperor was full of praise.

With Guard Duan's jewels in front, basically no one dared to go up, except for some guards of ordinary background, although they couldn't surpass them, it would be great if they could get into the top ten and get a piece of silk rewarded by the emperor. the glory.

Just when everyone thought that Duan Ying would be the leader directly, a burly and bearded man from the Beihu tribe stood up. He was nine feet tall, looked like a bear, and his feet were like cattail fans. , Stepping on the ground seems to feel like the earth is shaking.

I saw that he chose the heaviest strong bow present, and it seemed that he pulled the ten-stone 600-jin strong bow effortlessly, and his head was not bad.

Everyone in the room was full of exclamations, they didn't expect this Beihu Hercules to be so powerful.

In history, there are also people who can open a twelve-stone bow, and soon they can also use a six-stone bow, but basically they belong to legends, so everyone was quite shocked to see someone who really opened a ten-stone bow, and many couldn't help it Step forward to watch closely.

Shen Chu was also in an inconspicuous position in the crowd, firstly to join in the fun, and secondly to avoid any abnormalities.

Li Di stood beside him for some reason, Shen Chu leaned over curiously and said softly, "I don't know how many crossbows your Highness can draw?"

Li Di said blankly, "I don't know. But I tried this bow in the palace before, and I can draw it when I'm alone."

Shen Chu had a look of disbelief, but Li Di's appearance was too serious, it didn't seem like a joke at all.

"Then why don't you go up and try?"

Li Di looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Does Xiao Chu want Gu to go up?"

Shen Chu thought for a while and said, "Forget it, even if you can pull it away, it will be the heaviest bow on the scene. Then who will the leader reward you? If you can't pull it away, you will lose face. You are the most popular bow in the eyes of the people. God of War."

Li Di said with a smile, "Xiao Chu is still thoughtful. But you should believe in loneliness more—"

As he said that, he flew up, picked up the ten stone bow that Nada, the strongman of Beihu, had just opened, and smiled at everyone, "This king is also here to try this bow." He also looked at Shen Chu indistinctly At first glance, it was full of jokes.

The crowd in the audience is in high spirits, and there are also a few who have ulterior motives. Some do not believe that Li Di is afraid of him being ashamed, and some secretly hope that he will make a fool of himself. national prestige.

Li Di turned around swiftly, his whole body was like a taut bow, his eyes were as sharp as a falcon, his robes were hunting, and he exuded a powerful and stern aura.In an instant, the sound of arrows piercing through the air came out. Not only did he draw the crossbow, but the arrow directly passed through the bull's-eye and hit the trunk of the willow tree behind him. A quick double shot.

Everyone was inhaling, and after a long time, they realized that the sound of joy and encouragement shook like thunder.

Even the Son of Heaven couldn't help standing up and exclaiming excitedly, "You are worthy of being my Yunmeng's God of War! My son is really powerful!"

Shen Chu stood at an angle where he could see Li Di's archery clearly, his heart was beating like a drum, and he just thought how could this man commit such a foul, he was so fucking handsome!The face flushed uncontrollably, as if he was drunk, thinking that the fifth prince, who is so handsome and valiant, turned out to be his man, it was so unreal, like a dream.

Li Di took a look at Shen Chu, seeing all the looks that this person liked, and couldn't help but feel very proud. He thought that in this kind of occasion, it is only meaningful to show it to those who want to see it. The male peacock who wins the peahen's heart.

But the face was quite calm, as if it was just doing it casually, and he bowed his hands to the emperor and said, "Thank you for your praise, my son, I am ashamed of myself. My son saw that the Nada Hercules of the Hongjira tribe pulled away This bow is just for fun."

The emperor laughed heartily and said, "Okay, okay, what reward does Xiao Wu want?"

Everyone couldn't help feeling envious, this was an extra reward that the Son of Heaven was happy to add, an opportunity that was usually hard to find, but on the other hand, thinking about it, they would not be able to draw this bow, and after drawing it, it would be impossible for them to have such an accurate head , Absolutely impossible, and it is said that Li Di is still the prince, and he is the prince who has made great achievements for Yunmeng.

Li Di looked at the bow in his hand, and respectfully said to the emperor, "I love this bow very much, so why don't my father reward this bow to my son?"

The emperor said happily, "Reward."

At this moment, Beihu envoy Hutu stepped forward and said, "His Royal Highness King Qin is born with supernatural powers, he really deserves to be the descendant of Heli Khan."

Shen Chu's heart trembled, and he wondered if this person did it on purpose. Saying this on such an occasion, it seemed that he was still giving money to them. The key point was that it was easy for the emperor and the civil and military officials to have other thoughts in their hearts.It was originally a pleasure, but it seems to have changed.

Everyone here also has all kinds of ideas in their hearts, some are dissatisfied, some are disappointed, and there are some like the princes who are jealous at first, and then gloated a little.

But regardless of what everyone thought, Li Di said calmly, "My grandfather is a hero on the grassland, and this king also admires him very much."

Seeing Li Di's attitude, everyone, including the emperor, felt a little more at ease.Heli Khan was originally the father of Princess Wuluo and Li Di's grandfather, but Li Di was the son of the emperor and their fifth prince.

Of course, the Son of Heaven has always been quiet on his face, and he will not easily make people look happy or angry.

Shen Chu couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, thinking that the Northern Hu envoy came here this time, it seemed friendly, but in fact he had bad intentions.
