Chapter 171 Moral I(1/2)
Chapter 171 Morality·Laozi
"Huh, we're finally here." Mi Yue poked her head out of the carriage window and looked at the solemn and orderly Zeng Guo City from a distance.
At first glance, it is a large and orderly place, with citizens dressed in decent clothes everywhere. Their faces are kind, and even those in simple clothes are polite and courteous.
Different from the tough and rough folk customs of the Chu State, Mi Yue was amazed by this casual and polite atmosphere that uniquely belonged to "Zhou Rites".
At the same time, people from Chu State, including Feng Yun, understood why Zeng State was known as the capital of rituals and music - rituals are life.
Mr. Shen Yinhua looked at it with longing, while Qu Yuan's eyes were burning, as if he hoped that one day, Chu would also perform rituals like this.
"Enter the city." Zhaoyang rode on horseback and drove forward. When he came to the guard at the gate of the city, he exchanged documents between the two countries.
It was obvious that it was Chu. Although the guard did not sneer, there was a perfunctory look in his eyes that was not easy to detect.
Zhaoyang frowned, but he didn't want to argue with the young general.
"Walk."
With a wave of his hand, Chu's chariots and horses drove into Zeng's country and headed towards Zeng's post.
Along the way, we can see many foreign guests. From the shape of their faces, many of them can be seen as coming from all over the world. This shows that the upcoming Lile Club is famous both at home and abroad.
The post arrived——
"Fengjun, please."
Ya Yan…
It can be heard that Zhaoyang was speaking Zhou Zhiyayan at this time, which is the official language. At this time in the Lile and Elegant Meeting, if he had not spoken the elegant language of the state, he would have been looked down upon by others even for speaking.
Ya Yan, Feng Yun will naturally do it.
Following Zhaoyang's leadership, several people from Chu State divided their places to rest.
At this time, there were only Feng Yun and Zhaoyang in the house.
Zhaoyang said: "Fengjun, I have heard that your Majesty has sent detailed work to the various countries in Penglize to investigate Fengjun's political achievements."
Feng Yun looked back, but Zhaoyang had already resigned.
"Achievements?"
Feng Yun just smiled.
His political achievements are in Baiyue, and a country's policies often need time to ferment before they can highlight their effects.
It has been nearly a year since Feng Yun became the Prime Minister of Baiyue. The state of Baiyue at this time is one way to evaluate Feng Yun's administrative ability.
Feng Yun is also concerned about whether Baiyue is prosperous now.
"It seems that Mr. Chu has already thought of inviting me to serve as an official."
"But his heart may not be pure."
Feng Yun didn't think much about it, but not long ago, a servant came into the house to take care of Feng Yun.
Feng Yun didn't have much scruples, and immediately went out to take a look at the situation in Zeng State.
"Mr. Feng, Mr. Shen Yinhua is about to invite Feng Yun to explain the matter in detail."
Qu Yuan was looking for it and happened to meet Feng Yun.
Feng Yun nodded and left with him.
We came to a small pavilion, surrounded by a lake. The lake water was rippling slightly in the autumn wind, which was very pleasant.
"Fengjun, please sit down."
At this time, Mi Yue and Mi Shu were already sitting on the side.
In the pavilion, there is a low table with several guest invitations placed on it.
Shen Yinhua looked unhappy and seemed to be lamenting. When Feng Yun came, he looked ashamed.
"Mr. Feng, I haven't told you this before. It's because there are three guests in Zeng Guo's ceremony."
"My guests are those who are attending the ceremony." As he said this, he picked up two of the invitations and handed them to Mi Yue and Mi Shu.
"This is generally obtained by the princes, princesses, and scholar-bureaucrats from all over the world."
"And the guest of honor is the one who takes the seat to discuss etiquette. It provides a place for outstanding junior students to discuss etiquette, so as to continue the etiquette and let everyone evaluate it."
"Finally, there is the guest of honor, who is the one who speaks the etiquette before entering the table. He is the one who judges the etiquette and music. He is mainly the elder of the etiquette and music from each country, and he is highly respected."
After finishing speaking, what was left on the table was just a letter from the guest. It can be seen that Zeng Guo did not pay attention to Chu State, or even Feng Yun.
"How can it be that this is just the case for our Chu country? They have always prided themselves on being noble and noble and think that the Chu country belongs to the barbarians, but!" Qu Yuan was annoyed and angrily said: "How can you treat Fengjun so lightly? Fengjun's reputation as a virtuous man is not good for Zhou.
To the southeast, the sound can be heard even among the barbarians and hundreds of people!"
"I'm going to seek an explanation for Mr. Feng!" Qu Yuan was really angry. Regardless of etiquette, he pulled out the sword on his waist and ran away.
"Wait, wait!" Shen Yinhua shouted hurriedly and went to stop Qu Yuan.
"Oh, Doctor Qu Yuan, where have you put the etiquette of Chu State? If it is spread among people, how will people from other countries view our Chu State?"
"I'm afraid that the voice of the barbarians is really branded on the faces of us Chu people!"
The anger in Qu Yuan's eyes did not diminish.
"Mr. Feng has shown me the kindness of preaching, and I must never betray him!"
"This time, we are not talking about people from the Chu State, but only as postgraduate students!"
Seeing that Qu Yuan could not be stopped, Shen Yinhua felt regretful.
Mi Shu and Mi Yue looked at each other, watching the two doctors fussing over each other, not daring to speak, but looking at Feng Yun.
Just listen——
"Original, it doesn't have to be like this." Feng Yun said. He picked up the invitation, shook his head slightly and said, "I told you that you don't need to flaunt your virtues. It also means that you don't need to compare and pay attention to other people's opinions."
"Speaking of these guests, Yun also hopes to change with Mi Shu and Mi Yue. Watching the ceremony is enough for Yun, and he has no intention of discussing etiquette or talking about etiquette."
Hearing the sound, Qu Yuan took a break.
"Master Feng, I was too reckless and forgot what Master Feng wanted." Qu Yuan bowed his head in shame after saluting.
"Sit down. For Yun, this position is insignificant, but for Chu State, this is what you all want to fight for."
Having been in Chu State for such a long time, Feng Yun naturally knew that Chu State, both the people and the powerful, wanted Chu State to be recognized by countries all over the Central Plains.
Sui Chu admired Zhou's rites and had exchanges with each other for a long time. The rites and music of Zeng State also entrusted the wishes of the country and its people.
"Chu is a big country, but it has no distinguished guests. At this time, Mr. Yuan and Mr. Yin Hua came to Zeng on behalf of the Chu state, and they are both honored guests, but they wanted to discuss etiquette to prove the etiquette of the Chu state."
Feng Yun said that he didn't have much pressure, but Qu Yuan and Shen Yinhua felt the pressure doubled.
Although Feng Yun came on behalf of the countries south of the Yangtze River, most of the people south of the Yangtze River were barbarians, and there were only a few Zhou Li countries, the largest of which was the Chu State.
This is why we are not allowed to have guests this time.
They are all barbarians who despise Chu.
Feng Yun has a long-term vision and cannot fight for it overnight, but Chu State has to fight for it.
A few people were sitting quietly, except for Feng Yun who was drinking tea leisurely, all with sad faces.
"Fengjun, why don't you give me the letter from the guest of honour, and I'll discuss etiquette with them!" However, the six-year-old Mi Yue was filled with indignation. At this time, she also understood the status of the Chu State in the eyes of other countries.
.
Thinking of her father's love for her, she felt obliged to do so.
"One more person, more power!"
"Princess, don't make trouble. How can a woman talk about etiquette? Will other countries laugh at the fact that Chu has no men?" Shen Yinhua hurriedly comforted Mi Yue.
Hearing this, Mi Yue pursed her lips and wanted to speak out of dissatisfaction, but Mi Shu stepped forward and covered her mouth.
"Yuemei!"
Mi Shu glared at Mi Yue, then saluted several people and said, "Mi Yue is young and talks nonsense. I hope you don't blame me."
As she said that, Mi Shu looked around and saw that no one was paying attention, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, she saw a young man's figure, and she wanted to investigate——
"Rust, rustle..." There was a rustling sound, and the footsteps were scattered, as if they were running away.
"Ah, let go... Sir, I'm just passing by."
Then I saw Xiang Yan coming out carrying an eleven or twelve year old boy.
His clothes are luxurious, but compared with others in Chu, they are much simpler.
Shen Yinhua looked at it and frowned.
Qu Yuan's eyes moved slightly, he stood up and saluted, "I wonder what country the young master is from?"
"Huang...Huang Guo." The young man said, looking at Feng Yun.
Qu Yuan waved his hand and asked Xiang Yan to let people come over.
