[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

After the servants moved down the table above and Jia Yan took a seat on the grand teacher's chair, she said: "Ke Jingye, nonsense, I won't say more. Tell me, why do you rule over the Japanese pirates?"

"Returning to my mother's words, the grassroots... The criminals know that it is a capital offense to serve the Japanese pirates. However, whether you believe it or not, the original purpose of the criminals is just to hope that the coast of Dajin will no longer be invaded by Japanese pirates."

Kneeling in front of Jia Yan, Ke Jingye expressed his original intention.

Jia Yan said: "Then, let you go back to the sea, can you regain control of the Japanese pirates and keep them away from the people of Dajin?"

"Return to your mother's words! Yes! Caomin can do it!" @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Ke Jingye said it firmly.

"Very good." Jia Yan said, "Then, I will tell you. The imperial court intends to include Dongying in its territory, just like Qiongzhou. Can you cooperate?"

"Yes, the grass people will fight to the death!"

"Very good. Get ready. Soon, the palace will hold a banquet to entertain envoys from Goguryeo and Dongying. You and your subordinates will act as the guards of Qianniuwei temporarily, waiting for the next order."

After Ke Jingye and his two men retreated, Jia Yan bowed to welcome the emperor who came out from behind the screen.

The emperor snorted coldly and said, "Some people's appetites are getting bigger and bigger."

What Ke Jingye could think of, the emperor could of course also think of.

Jia Yan said: "Long live, if you say a thousand words and ten thousand, the salaries of civil and military officials are too low. Not to mention the officials below, they are the ministers of the political affairs hall (that is, the cabinet), and their salaries are only so much. If I am a big The Prime Minister of Jin Dynasty can be the same as Bao Longtu in those years, with a salary of several million yuan plus so much Lumi. If our Great Jin Dynasty can get a lot of various salaries like the officials of the Renzong Dynasty in the Northern Song Dynasty, Then, if they do these things again, Long live to clean them up, the government and the public will naturally have nothing to say. But if we do it now, I am afraid that the government and the public will be in mourning."

The emperor frowned and said, "What does the empress mean, high salary to support honesty?"

"Yes. Moreover, before reaching the salary of the Renzong Dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty, it is inconvenient for Wansui to do anything to civil and military officials."

"Ah~! Where does the imperial court have so much money!"

Jia Yan said: "That's why we have to expand our territory and ask the sea for money. Wealth comes from the sea, and danger also comes from the sea."

The emperor said: "Yes. Those Semu people have already brought merchant ships to our doorstep. If we don't prepare well, God knows if it will be a warship next time!"

The palace banquet that Jia Yan mentioned was held under such circumstances.

Let's say that after Ke Jingye was released from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, both of his subordinates were dumbfounded.

They couldn't believe that they actually met the most honorable woman in the Jin Dynasty.

However, they also know what to say and what not to say.Under the arrangement of Lieutenant Qianniuwei Ding, they settled down in a certain courtyard, tidied themselves up, and shaved their beards. They went to Banruo Temple and left a secret mark in an inconspicuous place in Banruo Temple.

A few days later, his subordinates came to the door.

I don't know what they said outside, but half a month later, they were standing in the ranks of Qianniuwei guards wearing armor.

In fact, the royal banquet is nothing more than that, enjoying the new song and dance by Jiao Fangsi, and then eating and drinking. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Of course, various open and secret battles are also indispensable, especially, this kind of banquet related to the competition between countries is indispensable, and all kinds of suggestive competitions on the military value of various countries are indispensable.

For example, offering a knife.

Just when the wine was half drunk, Seto Shanglong took advantage of the wine and performed the sword drawing skill all the way to the music of Jiaofangsi.

Thanks to the dancers of the Dajin Jiaofang Division, they still sang and danced without any confusion—in fact, this kind of dancers who can perform at the state banquet must be the top group of dancers in the Jiaofang Division, and , if they make a mistake, they will be executed when they step off the stage.This is the fate of the singers and dancers of the Jiaofang Division. The court has lost face, and others have a chance to make up for it, but they can only atone for their sins with their lives.

It was precisely because these dancers were not chaotic at all, and even impromptuly followed Seto Shanglong for a while, that Da Jin did not lose face.

On the contrary, it was the envoy of Goguryeo, who changed his face at that time.

In fact, in the royal court of Goguryeo, Dongying people were not allowed to bring knives into the state banquet at all. What they were afraid of was that these Dongying people would do something to their king.But now, the Dongying people not only brought the Tai | Dao into the state banquet of the Jin Dynasty, but also danced at the banquet with the Dao, which made it more and more obvious that the Goguryeo people had never seen a big scene.

Today's Goguryeo is not the Goguryeo that Tang Taizong hated back then.

In fact, at the banquets held by many lords in Japan during this period, it was already a way to show the strength of the territory by letting the samurai wear armor and swing from side to side according to a certain rhythm to show the military prowess of the army.And the sword drawing performance is just one of the performance methods.

Goguryeo and Dongying, no, it should be said that they are also close neighbors with Seto Fan.Along with the wars on Dongying Island, the military atmosphere of the Seto clan became stronger and stronger. Naturally, they looked down on Goguryeo, which became weaker because of singing and dancing.

The officials who are qualified to participate in the state banquet are all officials of the Jin Dynasty, and their official experience has long made them calm and calm, and where others can't see, the guards of Hubenwei and Qianniuwei have already passed away. Quietly, he pressed his hand on the handle of the ring knife, and just waiting for something to go wrong, he chopped up and down the entire Seto clan into a meat paste.

As for Ke Jingye, he has already begun to estimate the distance from Seto Shanglong to the dragon chair, as well as the agility he has cultivated on the sea boat and in the wind and waves, and how many footholds he needs to block the opponent's attack.

Throughout the banquet, the atmosphere was unprecedentedly tense, and only Jia Yan, who was sitting side by side with the emperor on the dragon chair, laughed and said Yan Yan, which neutralized the chilling atmosphere at the banquet.

And below, the performance of several Xiangguo is also remarkable.

When I was young, after the song was over, the dancers retreated, and Seto Shanglong knelt under the jade steps:

"The Dongying Seto Fan presented the precious sword Tsurumu made by our famous craftsman to the supreme king of the heavenly kingdom."

The banquet suddenly fell silent.

Gao Shun immediately turned his head and looked at the empress above.

Seeing this, Jia Yan said with a smile: "Oh? This should be the Taidao in the population of Dongying, right? Your Majesty, I heard that the forging technology of each country is slightly different, so the level of weapon casting in each country is also different. If you say If the grassland tribe's saber is not as good as our Huanshou sword, then Dongying's Taidao is not as good as the saber."

"Oh? Is that so? Envoy Uraz, is that so?"

As a grassland tribe, it is necessary to be brave and good at fighting, how can you say no?Even Uraz, he had to take out his saber and compete with Seto Shanglong.

I saw Seto Shanglong and Ulayuzi each holding the hilt of their own weapons, standing on the left and right below.Two pairs of battle-tested eyes sized each other up, trying to find out each other's weaknesses.They even move slowly, slowly across the field in order to find each other's weak spots.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two of them even exchanged positions. Then, with a loud shout, the two of them rushed towards each other with their knives at the same time.

Hang, hang, hang.

The sound of tachi and saber clashing continued incessantly.

Obviously, as the envoy of Khalkha, Ulayuzi is definitely a fierce general who has rolled on the battlefield.It's a pity that his most loyal partner Emma Zhuoma is not by his side, otherwise, his combat effectiveness could be doubled.

On the other hand, as the young lord of the Seto Clan in Japan, Seto Sakataka's martial arts are also impeccable.It's a pity that Dongpu's current situation and fighting style determine that he is not the opponent of the opponent, not to mention the gap between the weapons in the hands of the two sides.

There was a long sound of "Hang", and sure enough, as Jia Yan said, the blade of the Tsurumaru in Seto Shanglong's hand had been broken in two.

When Tsurumaru's blade fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, the two of them reacted.

Seto Shanglong quickly apologized to the emperor and empress two people above the jade steps: "The minister is rude."

What he used was Dongpu's Tuxiazao, a real gesture of apology.

"The national conditions of each country are different, and the envoys only suffer from weapons. Envoys don't have to be like this, please come up."

Hearing what the emperor said, Wulayuzi cupped his fists and bowed to the emperor and empress on the dragon chair: "Just now the empress said that the sabers on our grasslands are not as good as your country's ring-shoulders. The ministers are not convinced, and I hope you can Compete with the generals present."

Jia Yan looked at the emperor with a smile, and said: "All the adults present are not equipped with suitable weapons today, so you can choose one of the guards with swords around you to compete."

For Uraz, this sentence hit the mark.

Uraz knew that the military generals sitting at the banquet today were all veterans of the battlefield, and it was hard to say which one was tough.Not as good as the surrounding guards.He had heard that Da Jin had a tradition of letting the children of noble families into the palace as guards, and these guys were the soft persimmons he wanted to pick.

Uraz has long been interested in Ke Jingye.

In his opinion, this person who couldn't help twisting his body slightly should be a new recruit, and he was born well, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to help twisting his body.Obviously, this guy is used to wearing good things, so the standard clothes that don't suit the guards caused frequent movements.

Still standing still on the left and right, still observing each other carefully, and still rushing towards each other while shouting.This time, though, it ended much sooner.

Because with just one blow, Uraz's saber broke in two.

Seeing the love knife that was cut in two, Uraz nearly turned his mouth in anger. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

He almost gritted his teeth and said, "My lord's action just now is somewhat similar to that of the Dongying people. Are they master and apprentice?"

The author has something to say:

Long Jinwei - the overlord's guard.

Huben Guard - the emperor's guard.

Qianniuwei - the queen's guard.
