Chapter 3 The Great Court Meeting
Huh!
A milky white air arrow blurted out.
Exhale and turn into an arrow.
This is a sign of a small success in internal strength.
The practice this night was enough to match the last three months or even half a year of hard work. Luo Xing looked at himself in the bronze mirror. The ordinary edges and corners became much softer, and the brilliance in his eyes became different. He couldn't help but feel very excited.
One step closer to the extraordinary small goal.
...
On this day, all officials from Luojing, above the fourth rank, got up early in the morning to rush to the Dazheng Hall of the Imperial City.
Today is a grand ceremonial meeting.
The Western Rong sent the envoy to the delegation of envoys, and the left prime minister Alehai, led by the ritual officer, met with the Emperor Yongxi of Northern Zhou Ye Rong in the Dazheng Hall. He was sturdy and dark in front of him. He was carrying a silver scimitar inlaid with various gems on his waist. As soon as he entered the hall, the left prime minister of Western Rong brought a sense of oppression to the civil and military officials of the Northern Zhou Dynasty!
Emperor Yongxi, wearing a dragon robe and a crown on the dragon chaise, was a middle-aged man in his forties. His face was slender, his eyebrows were a little divergent, his lips were very thin, and his cheekbones were slightly raised.
Judging from the face, it is indeed a bit mean and polite.
"Foreign minister Alehai meets His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor!" Alehai looked arrogant and only kneeled down to Emperor Yongxi half his knee.
"Please Prime Minister Alehai invites you, your wolf lord is so good. What's the matter with this envoy to the Great Zhou?" Emperor Yongxi just nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and raised it for a moment and asked.
"Your Majesty the Wolf Lord is fine. The foreign minister came this time to ask my Wolf Lord for Princess Liuli of His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor." Alehai stood up, looked around, his eyes were bright, and he said loudly, "For this reason, I brought my Wolf Lord to marry Princess Liuli, 10,000 cows, 10,000 sheep, 10,000 war horses, 10,000 pounds of golden sand and ten carts of various gems!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Dazheng Hall was in an uproar.
Emperor Yongxi, who was on the dragon throne, also had a dark face. The left prime minister of the Western Rong, Alehai, brought so many gifts to Luojing, and it was obvious that he was prepared.
The government and the people also held a "happy to see the success" attitude towards marriage and Western Rong, because once marriage is completed, the two countries will not say permanent peace, at least there will be no major wars on the frontier for ten years.
However, most of the people who were married to the Great Zhou Dynasty were determined to be the adult sons of the Wolf Lord of the Western Rong. After all, the princesses in the Great Zhou Dynasty were of the same age.
Unexpectedly, the person who asked the Princess of the Great Zhou was actually the Wolf Lord of the Western Rong.
The Wolf Lord of the Western Rong is over fifty years old and older than Emperor Yongxi. If he married Princess of the Great Zhou, wouldn’t this marriage become a marriage alliance between the father-in-law and son-in-law?
Moreover, he was asking to marry Princess Anping Ye Liuli, who is the leader of the four beauties in Luojing, and Ye Liuli's identity is very special.
She is the only daughter of the former prince.
Regardless of her beauty, her bloodline and political identity, the risk of marrying an enemy country and marrying her is too great.
"Alehai, how old is your wolf lord? He still wants to marry the youngest and most beautiful princess in our Great Zhou?"
"It's really an old cow who eats young grass and is shameless!"
"Xin Li's shameless old thief..."
The ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty immediately started arguing, with many opponents, and even shouted loudly without regard for their decent reprimands. The other matters originally planned to be carried out were delayed. In the end, Emperor Yongxi left without expressing his opinion on the spot, which ended the debate.
But this matter is not over.
As soon as the court meeting dispersed, the news that the Wolf Lord of the Western Rong wanted to marry Princess Liuli was instantly known.
...
Shang Chen, deputy envoy of the Western Rong Mission, came back and brought back many boxes, which were very heavy and were moving boxes into the embassy one by one.
In addition to the Western Rong Wolf Cavalry, there were also some men and women with different faces from the Zhou people. Although they were dressed in the costumes of servants and maids, ordinary people could not tell them, but Luo Xing, who was in the crowd, could tell at a glance that these people were all masters with martial arts.
Xirong Puppet Shadow Hall is as famous as Jing'ansi, the South Yai of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
The wolf of the Xirong rode on the periphery, and these people vaguely formed a protective square inside for the man with a thin figure in the middle.
Their movements were very fast, and it took only ten seconds from getting off the car to entering the embassy gate. Then, everyone disappeared behind the door.
Shang Chen was so familiar with him. He liked to ride a carriage when he went out. Today, he actually rode a horse. He was not a typical Western Rong person. His ancestors were actually like the Zhou people. They went to the Western Rong, took root there, and intermarried with the Western Rong tribe. Because they were familiar with Zhou dialect, they were valued by the Western Rong wolf masters of all generations and became a diplomatic official who dealt with the Great Zhou.
Shang Chen is the deputy envoy of the Western Rong to Luojing. He has been in Luojing for the past three years. He only occasionally goes back to report his position, usually returns within a month, and this time he leaves for three months. When he comes back, he is still in such a big situation, so it is obvious that something is wrong.
No matter what big thing happens when Shang Chen comes back this time, Luo Xing knows that his leisure life is over and he has to meet his immediate boss.
Spring Rain Tower.
Nanya Jing'an Department Supervision Spy Contact Point.
"Qilang is here." The guy from Chunyu Tower saw Luo Xing walking in with his hands together, and quickly greeted him. The dogs from the guy to the backyard, the rats and cockroaches in the sewer were all affiliated with Nanya Jing'ansi.
A pack of secret dried tofu snacks was handed over: "Where is Han Touer?"
"It's time to settle the score inside." The guy skillfully took over. Every time Luo Xing came, he would bring them some secret dried tofu snacks. No one could eat them except them.
This thing is made by Rohing and is not sold outside, but it is a good dish for wine.
"Okay." Luo Xing nodded, lifted the curtain of the back door and walked in inside.
Here is a patio with a back shape. It passes through the corridor and enters the backyard. It is a small lotus pond made of blue bricks at the corner of the courtyard. It is already autumn and winter, and the lotus has long disappeared, and only a dead leaf floats on the water.
There is a wintersweet tree in the corner of the wall, and a few delicate buds are drawn from the branches, which look a bit sparse, indicating that the owner here is not a "sweet flower" person.
Hearing the sound of abacus beads coming from the room, Luo Xing easily found the person he was looking for, Han Qifeng, the shopkeeper of Chunyulou.
"Korean Head."
"Qilang is here, come here quickly and help me calculate the ledger for this month. I have done it several times, and each time it is wrong. I can't explain it when the account is checked at the end of the year. "Han Qifeng, who is a little fat, looks up and sees Luo Xing, and a trace of joy flashes through his little eyes.
"Han Tou, I have taught you this accounting method. Why haven't you mastered it yet?"
"I'll have a headache when I see these numbers. Otherwise, I'll tell you that after the three-year inspection period, you will come to pick up my position. It's much more suitable for you to be the shopkeeper than me." Han Qifeng hurriedly gave up his position.
This was not the first time. Luo Xing bowed his hand and sat down naturally, holding a pen in one hand and putting the other on the abacus.
Then I saw his fingers move, like a afterimage, and a "crackling" sound of abacus beads colliding in the room.
For about a quarter of an hour, Luo Xing's hand that was plucking the abacus bead stopped, and the pen stopped.
"Han Tou, let's figure it out. Chunyu Building has been open for 30 days this month, and an average of 124,23 cents of silver is earned every day. After deducting the daily purchase and labor costs, and then subtracting the taxes paid, the daily net profit is about 41,200,300,300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
"It's similar to what I'm doing, hahaha." Han Qifeng rubbed his hands and smiled embarrassedly. This number is exactly the same as the money in the account, not bad at all.
"Han Tou, Shang Chen is back to Luojing."
"I understand, something big happened at the dynasty meeting today. Your Majesty originally wanted to discuss the spring exam next year, but it was put on hold." Han Qifeng nodded.
"What happened?"
"Well, the wolf Lord of Xirong asked His Majesty to marry Princess Liuli to form an in-law alliance."
"Who, the adult sons of the Wolf Lord seem to have married and had children?" How could he not understand Shang Chen's background and the situation in the Xirong behind him?
"Guess?"
"It's not the wolf master himself, right?" Luo Xing frowned. The Wolf Queen of Xirong has been dead for more than ten years. Although there is no shortage of women in the harem, the Wolf Queen has never been established again...
Chapter completed!
