chapter two hundred and seventy two.
In the eyes of the envoys of various countries, the prince of Wu and the envoys of Qin and Chu had obviously planned to perform a play. Several of the big guys were "family". What kind of envoys sent by small countries like themselves have the right to say?
So the envoys who had figured it out silently chose the second choice given by the monarch before leaving their capitals - adapting to changes.
As the place where Qingji was once provided shelter, now and closely related, Wei State can be said to be the most tangled among the nations. Now that Wu's national strength is gradually rising, the king of Wei State is also happy to see that he has a good relationship with Wu State, so before sending the envoy, the king of Wei State seriously reminded him: stay neutral.
In the view of the king of Wei, this time he said that he was inviting envoys from various countries to discuss, but in fact, Yue State invited the countries to attack Wu State in a sense, so he thought that his "neutrality" was already showing goodwill to the Wu State to the greatest extent.
I can only say that King Wei’s idea is not wrong, but the messenger he sent was a little confused.
Shortly after Ying Jian sat down, the envoy of Wei State could not wait to express his opinion: Wei State believed that the 55th and 5th and 5th and 28th and 28th and 5th were too much of a loss to Yue State. Therefore, King Wei believed that half of the land that was more than Wu State should be transferred to Yue State.
The envoy of the State of Defense spoke very quickly, just like a machine gun. When he finished speaking, everyone handed him a weird look. Of course, this kind of eye guard was just caused by the speed of speaking too fast.
After the envoys of the State of Defense, they were Song, Zheng, and Xu...
The rhetoric of each country's messenger is different, but their central idea is the same, that is, "supporting the Wu Kingdom."
As more and more countries expressed their opinions, most of the people in the pavilion looked calm, and only two of them looked increasingly ugly. Apart from Goujian, who expected that this would be the result, there were only a lot of emissaries of the defense country who could not be said to be bitter.
After opening the opening, the situation was like a dam breaking a dam. All countries stood on the side of Wu, or Wu, Chu, and Qin. Even the envoy of Jin who spoke at the end expressed his vagueness to maintain the status quo, and Shuangfa stopped.
After all the messengers made a decision on their own country, an old man in a gorgeous uniform sitting in the corner stood up and slowly walked towards the center of the pavilion, as if he would fall down if he touched it.
The old man suddenly appeared in his sight attracted everyone's attention. Hua Chen also looked at Shao Zheng first, and then exchanged glances with Ye Canglan and Ying Jian not far away, but no one knew who the old man was.
Cough~ Cough~ After the old man walked to the center of the pavilion, he straightened his back and said, "All the vassal states expressed their opinions on the territory of Wu and Yue, and I could hear it clearly."
After the old man whispered this passage, his expression became a little ugly. He hesitated for a moment before he took out a delicate jade pendant from his arms.
After slowly lifting the jade pendant to a position half a foot above his head, the old man said in a solemn voice: "The emperor has his own destiny, and all the envoys kneel on behalf of the princes and kings."
The old man's hesitation was not unreasonable. When he took out the jade pendant representing the identity of the Emperor of Zhou and asked the envoys from all countries to kneel down to receive the emperor's orders with words that he thought he was very handsome, everyone present had no idea.
At the beginning, most people did not know this old man, but when he raised the jade pendant, everyone except Hua Chen understood: this old man was an envoy sent by Emperor Zhou, and several older envoys had even guessed the specific identity of the old man: Emperor Xun Yang.
After the old man took out the jade pendant, Shao Zheng put his head in Hua Chen's ear and said, "This jade pendant is the token of the emperor. Since the old man is holding this jade pendant, he should be the envoy sent by the emperor."
Hua Chen nodded slightly, looked at the people around him and whispered to Shao Zhengye: "Then this 'No. 1 envoy in the world' is too shameless. By the way, he said he wanted us to kneel down, why didn't anyone obey the order?"
Hua Chen naturally would not be so stupid as to consider why the orders of Emperor Zhou had no deterrent. He was just curious why these people could not even kneel down symbolically. Could it be that the nominal supreme ruler is not the "bird in a cage" - Emperor Zhou?
Shao Zheng was about to explain, but he saw that the old man with a dull look had already taken back his jade pendant.
"Forget it, forget it, forget it," the old man waved his hand and said, "I see that it is also inconvenient to get up after the table sitting in the pavilion."
There was still no response. Hua Chen saw this scene in his eyes. Not only did he feel sympathetic to the old man with gray hair, but perhaps this is "being behind will be beaten", "a weak country has no diplomacy" and "a dish is the original sin"?
Cough cough~ The old man obviously gave up these illusory etiquettes. He knew it was impossible to make these people recognize his identity as an envoy.
"After listening to the suggestions of the envoys sent by the vassal states, I would like to promulgate the emperor's order to define the junction of the existing troops of Wu and Yue as a specific border, and there must be no differences."
"Abide by the emperor's order." Perhaps it was because he felt that treating the elderly in this way was a bit too much, or perhaps it was because Hua Chen and Shao Zhengye had already Ying Jian and others spoke first, which led to everyone responding to the old man's words one after another.
After the old man finished speaking, he ignored everyone and left with his sleeves. This time his pace was much more stable than before. The imperial master used practical actions to prove that the elderly should be "angry" to be "animated", otherwise lifelessness would not be good for their health.
In fact, when Qin Chu stood on the side of Wu, everything was settled. Even if more than ten small countries were all standing on the side of Yue, this imperial teacher would arrange the so-called "will of the emperor" to the head of Wu.
After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although these small countries did not care about the declining Zhou Dynasty, at the same time, the Zhou Dynasty was not afraid of the threat from these small countries. It could count a slap in a country that truly had the strength, or wanted to "handle the emperor to command the princes", and the Zhou emperor cared about these countries most.
The Congress of the National Peoples, which was prepared for a long time by Yue State, ended with this overwhelming advantage of Wu State. Goujian knew that things could not be done, but he did not lose his demeanor and sent away the envoys of the countries without getting tired of it, with the style of a crown prince.
When the envoys of the countries were almost gone, Hua Chen also stood up and walked towards Goujian and said, "Young Master Goujian, leave the matters behind to the people below to deal with, say goodbye."
Gou Jian smiled slightly and said, "Young Master Huachen walks slowly, we are destined to see you again."
With Hua Chen's departure, Ye Canglan and Ying Jian also left Fangtai with dozens of missions.
After leaving Fangtai, Hua Chen planned to bring the Qin delegation, the Chu delegation and the Lu delegation back to Ningcheng together, but Ye Canglan rejected Hua Chen's invitation on the grounds that "Ye Yi has a lot of food recently."
Hua Chen did not force himself to stay, but asked Ye Canglan to express his gratitude to the King of Chu and said that he had time to go back to Ye Yi to visit Mr. Ye.
After watching Ye Canglan and his party travel west, Hua Chen took Ying Jian and others and the envoys of Lu State to Ningcheng.
As for the envoys of Lu, Hua Chen naturally wanted to go back and explain some things to them to bring them back to Lu. For Ying Jian, Hua Chen started out of hard work for him, but after seeing the large ornate carriage, Hua Chen deeply felt his simplicity.
Perhaps he was tired of sitting, and on the way back to Ningcheng, Ying Jian did not ride his larger carriage, but walked ahead with Hua Chen and Shao Zheng.
I have to say that the two "golden bachelors" who had never met before, Shao Zheng and Ying Jian were very good at talking about it, so they just left Hua Chen aside.
The matter on the Wuyue border was due to the "final ruling" of the Zhou emperor, to be precise, the default of several major powers, which is already a foregone conclusion.
If Yue State repents, it will be a slap in the face. Not to mention the reactions of the nations, just saying that Wu State can take action with confidence is not something that Yue State can afford to be able to bear now, so Hua Chen has completely let go of this point.
Just kidding, isn’t this the best time to reflect the value of Shao Zheng? Of course, Hua Chen just needs to think about this idea by himself, but he dare not tell Shao Zheng that if the general gave up, Hua Chen would have to "do it by himself and have enough food and clothing" in the end.
I talked and laughed all the way and returned to Ningcheng soon. Although Ningcheng can only be regarded as a military barracks with city walls, it would be very powerful if the military chefs became serious.
It was already evening when I returned to the city. It was logical that so many "idle people" came at one time and needed to undergo strict review, but since the person was brought back by Hua Chen and Shao Zheng, it was much easier.
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but when Hua Chen occasionally turns around, he always feels that Ying Jian’s “RV” seems to be sitting. It can be seen from the amplitude of its shaking when it bumps along the way.
While on the way, Hua Chen told Ying Jian that Ningcheng's accommodation equipment could not even catch up with some small inns next to the village, so he could just stay and rest.
Ying Jian, a man who "traveled all over Qin and Jin", naturally didn't care about accommodation conditions, and even "made a bold statement" saying that he would squeeze into the same bed with Hua Chen.
Hua Chen naturally decisively refused Ying Jian's request. Although he also regarded Ying Jian as a friend, he was very clear about one thing: the feeling of holding Yue Girl is definitely tens of millions of times better than holding Ying Jian.
Ningcheng was beautiful at night, and the swords and guns reflected by the bonfire were full of metal texture. In the central army's tent, Hua Chen, Ying Jian and Shao Zheng played a table together regardless of the primary and secondary.
The table was filled with food. In Huachen's words, it was to reward Ying Jian with delicious food for his life and stand on his own side.
Although it was said in a joking tone, Hua Chen actually proved that he believed it. After all, he also felt that King Qin and the perverted old man Wei Xuan would come to help him kindly.
