Chapter 60 Gift
On the second day, a father-in-law from the palace was waiting at the door early outside Honglu Temple.
Xu Chuan tidied up, ordered one of his attendants to bring three boxes made of golden nanmu and carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, and followed the father-in-law all the way to the palace.
The guards inside and outside the palace were extremely tight, and even Xu Chuan couldn't help but look sideways at the murderous aura. But as he passed the palace wall, a cold gaze shot towards him, showing no concealed murderous intent.
This murderous aura was so strong that it even made his skin feel a slight sting.
This person is naturally Yan Xiaoyi.
Xu Chuan stood there and looked at him with a smile.
The father-in-law who was leading the way in front of him glanced at him, as if he was worried that Xu Chuan would not recognize him, and quickly introduced him: "That is Commander Yan. He has always been responsible for guarding the palace, and he is a world-famous archer."
Xu Chuan smiled and said: "Of course I know Master Yan's name, and I also have an inseparable fate with Master Yan."
The father-in-law looked at Xu Chuan in surprise. He didn't know how this messenger from Dongyi had any fate with Yan Xiaoyi, but he didn't ask any more questions. He just said: "My lord, please don't keep your majesty waiting.
Please follow me to Tai Chi Hall first."
Xu Chuan withdrew his eyes from Yan Xiaoyi and said, "That's what my father-in-law said."
We walked all the way, passing prosperous and magnificent palaces one after another, and finally arrived at our destination.
Tai Chi Hall!
The red walls, green tiles, gold lacquer and jade decorations are not only noble and luxurious, but also solemn and solemn. Xu Chuan waited for the entrance to the palace, looked at the palace wall, and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
This is the serious center of the country. Think of Dongyi. In addition to a broken city lord's mansion, it is also an even worse sword house. It is really incomparable.
Just as he was thinking about it, a eunuch walked out of the palace. It was not the eunuch who had led the way before, but another older father-in-law.
He stepped forward and said: "Sir, please come in."
Xu Chuan smiled kindly at him and led his attendants into the palace gate.
At this moment, there were many ministers in the palace. They were separated on the left and right, silent and looking at him, the Dongyi envoy, with different eyes.
Xu Chuan walked forward calmly and came to the front of the center of the hall. He looked at the middle-aged man sitting firmly on the dragon's chair on the high platform in front of him. He gave a simple salute and said: "Xu Chuan, the envoy of Dongyi, see you.
Through His Majesty the Emperor."
As soon as he finished speaking, an official stood up and shouted: "How dare you to meet your Majesty, why don't you give me a big courtesy? Do you have any distinction in your hearts about superiority and inferiority?"
Hearing this, Xu Chuan stood up straight and looked around. Seeing that no one spoke again, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
Are you trying to intimidate me?
He turned around and looked at the official and asked, "May I ask what your official position is?"
The official looked at him coldly, with a bit of contempt in his eyes, and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
Xu Chuan smiled and said, "Don't you think your official position is too low and you dare not speak out?"
The official snorted coldly and said: "Why don't you dare to say it? I am the second-rank official, and I am the left minister of the Ministry of Rites."
"Ministry of Rites!" Xu Chuan nodded and said: "The adults in the Ministry of Rites should know etiquette very well, so why don't I see you saluting me?"
The official had a ridiculous look on his face and angrily said, "A kid with a yellow mouth is worthy of me saluting you?"
Xu Chuan's face was pale and he said seriously: "Although I am not very old, I am here on behalf of Dongyi. In terms of official position, I am no less than a first-class official in your country. In terms of superiority and inferiority, my lord, you are far inferior to me."
, why don’t you kneel down and worship me?”
The official was stunned for a moment, then became furious and said: "False, how can you, a barbarian country, be able to compete with our great country?"
Xu Chuan sneered and said: "I have come all the way from thousands of miles away and brought you a lot of gifts just to build a good relationship between the two countries. Is this how you view Dongyi? In this case, I will leave Kyoto today and go to see Northern Qi.
Let’s see if their officials are as arrogant as you.”
Before the official could say anything, he saw a high-ranking official from the DPRK and Central Government who was closest to the throne stood up and said in a deep voice: "Since the envoy came with the intention of making good friends, we will naturally reciprocate the same goodwill.
But if the envoy wants to threaten our Qing Kingdom with the alliance with Northern Qi, we will not be afraid of it."
Xu Chuan looked at him, with a smile on his face again, and said: "The Prime Minister is really the pillar of the country, and the power of words is far better than ordinary clowns. The Qing Kingdom is indeed a powerful country recognized in the world. This is why we, Dongyi
, that’s why he sent me as an envoy here.”
When the left minister of the Ministry of Rites saw that Lin Ruofu had stood up to speak, he had no choice but to retreat even though he was unwilling to do so.
Xu Chuan glanced at him secretly and thought to himself, is this the eldest princess's person?
He shook his head and didn't think much about it.
To be honest, he has never liked intrigues, and he is not very good at intrigues. He has spent almost ten years in cultivation.
Compared to such intrigues, he still prefers to fight with real swords and guns.
Therefore, he decided to quickly complete his goal, end these trivial matters, and find an opportunity to break through the Grand Master as soon as possible.
He turned to look at Emperor Qing, who had been silent on the dragon chair and was quietly looking at everything in the palace, and said: "Your Majesty, during this trip, I, Dongyi, will offer you three great gifts. I wonder if your Majesty will allow me to do them one by one."
Come."
Emperor Qing said calmly: "Yes!"
Xu Chuan gestured to the attendant behind him, and he walked up carrying three extremely straight and expensive wooden boxes.
Xu Chuan took the first wooden box and introduced: "This is the Mingguang Pearl, which is a variant of the Night Pearl. Even in the blue sky and white sun, it can shine brightly. Rumor has it that it is a treasure of the royal family of the former Wei Dynasty."
As he spoke, he opened the box, and in an instant, a soft light bloomed quietly, extremely brilliant.
In the Tai Chi Hall, countless pairs of eyes were attracted by this bright light bead, and many people even breathed heavily.
This is a truly priceless treasure, rare in the world.
Even Fan Jian, who is the Minister of Household Affairs, was a little surprised. In the entire Tai Chi Hall, only Emperor Qing on the dragon throne and Chen Pingping, who was sitting in a wheelchair opposite Prime Minister Lin Ruofu, had calm expressions.
With a click, the box was closed again by Xu Chuan, and the light was also covered up. Many people still had unfinished looks in their eyes.
Xu Chuan handed the wooden box to the eunuch guarding him and took the second box.
At this moment, before he opened it, many people already looked expectantly.
The first box is so valuable, so what kind of treasure should the second box above the first box be?
Xu Chuan slowly opened the box, and what everyone saw was an ordinary jade pendant.
Xu Chuan explained: "This is a piece of cold jade heart that has been made for thousands of years. Ordinary people can wear it to calm their minds, refresh their minds, and prolong their lives. Warriors can also speed up the practice of Qi and curb the riots of Qi. In today's world,
This object does not exceed two pieces."
Hiss, if this statement is true, then this is really a divine object.
