Chapter 321 The messenger asks three questions
Leaving the city, this time the prefect's palace meeting attracted a lot of attention from the people.
Because the prefect was assassinated on the commercial street the day before yesterday, the murderer was said to be someone from the Guangjun envoy group. They colluded with demons and evil spirits to commit crimes on the street. Although they did not hurt the young prefect in the end, this evil deed had also aroused everyone's indignation.
So today, when the envoys from Guangjun and more than a hundred followers came to the palace to meet with a cart of wealth, the frame the envoy was carrying was taken by the people along the way, and from time to time, people hid in the crowd and threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves on the frame. After a while, the originally clean and beautiful carriage became mottled, and the smell could be smelled from a distance.
But what is strange is that no matter the serious messenger or the escort cavalry on both sides of the convoy, even if the rotten eggs were thrown on their bodies, there was no reaction at all.
The envoys walked forward in such a silent atmosphere to the gate of the prefect's palace. They were watched by countless people in the square and pointed at it for a long time before they were able to enter the palace.
The convoy stopped as soon as he entered the palace. He was leaving the carriage and brought only two young followers who had their own scrolls to the hall.
At this moment, civil and military gathered in the palace hall. Luo Chuan Gao sat down and looked down at the bottom, expressionless. When the main entrance of the hall opened, he could see clearly the appearance of the Guangjun official envoy.
I saw that he was wearing a Guangjun dress, slightly fat, tall and bearded, and his smiley face also showed some majesty. What impressed was his eyes, which were clear and bright, making people feel good at first sight.
The man entered the hall, but was stared at by everyone but walked as usual. He strode to the position among the important civil and military officials and saluted Luochuan, "Foreign minister Zhang Ziheng, pay homage to the prefect of Lijun!"
Luochuan, the courtiers on both sides had no reaction yet, and the courtiers on both sides had a little disturbance, some covered their noses and some whispered, and the hall was a little noisy for a moment.
Luo Chuan glanced at both sides of the civil and military, and some noise stopped. He looked at the two followers behind Zhang Ziheng who were obviously dressed as men and women and said, "No gift."
"Thank you, Lord Prefect," Zhang Ziheng stood up, then looked up directly at Luo Chuan and praised, "When the foreign minister was in Guangjun, he often heard people talk about Lord Prefect, saying that you are young and great, handsome and majestic, and you can be a famous general of the world, and you can become a great talent in governing the world when you enter. I originally thought that others always said it, but now when I see it, I realize that my words are still not as good as possible!"
Luo Chuan has heard a lot of praise for his two lives, and was a little embarrassed by the shameless praise from the envoy of Guangjun when he came up. He was unwilling to fall into the rhythm of the other party, so he asked straight to the point, "What's the matter with the envoy of Guangjun when I come to the county?"
Zhang Ziheng immediately clasped his fists and said with politeness, "Ziheng came to Licheng this time because the prefect of Guangjun heard that the prefect of Lijun once again damaged the southern border of our Dading, and made extraordinary achievements for the stability of our human race. I was very moved. I specially sent Ziheng to come and salute you!"
He stretched out his hands and patted him. The two women dressed in men's clothes standing behind him picked up the scrolls in their hands and started to recite. One said, "The prefect of Guangjun is polite and ceremonious," and the other said, "The prefect of Guangjun is polite and beautiful." After reciting this for a long time, it finally stopped. Among them, the rhinoceros horns and martened fur and gems and ebony were all dazzling and comfortable.
Although there are many civil officials and military generals in the court, they are from wealthy families, but they have never left the county several times in their lives. How could they see these luxurious styles in wealthy counties?
In addition, since ancient times, the southwestern Hanzhou has been poor and rich. Only by literally speaking, I know how Li County has never been respected by those three rich counties. Now, the increasingly powerful Guang County sent envoys to congratulate him. For a moment, the court officials were radiant and felt that all the hatred he had received for hundreds of years had been completely eliminated.
Among the civil and military officials, the top officials were more experienced and calmer, and they were just silent.
Luo Chuan, who was in the top, didn't care. His cold face had never changed since he entered the court. He could only say, "Thank you for the prefect of Guangjun and the prince Yun Bailou for me."
Zhang Ziheng heard Luo Chuan say Yun Bailou's name in public and smiled on his face. He just bowed slightly, "Zi Heng will bring the words of the prefect," he paused while scanning Luo Chuan's expression with his eyes, and then said, "Prefect, Zi Heng came to Lijun this time, in addition to sending salutes to Guangjun, there are three excellent news to inform the prefect."
Luo Chuan glanced at Su Yiming, the guest minister who was only ranked behind the six important officials in the civil officials sequence, and then said arrogantly and coldly, "Tell me."
Zhang Ziheng responded with a smile, then looked at the civil and military officials on both sides of the court, and finally asked Zhao Wuji, the leader of the military general, "Dare you ask me, but General Zhao Wuji, the famous general of Hanzhou in the southwest of the southwest? Oh, no, congratulations to General Zhao for being promoted to the county magistrate." Seeing that Zhao Wuji had no intention of paying attention to him, he bowed his hand and said to himself, "The Zhao County Magistrate should have heard of it. A few days ago, a navy army from Jiangzhou violated the rules set by Emperor Shi Huang and went upstream from the Han River to invade my southwest of Hanzhou!"
He glanced around with grief and anger on his face, and looked at every civil servant and military general who looked at him, his voice full of anger, "not only disregards the royal family and ignores the law against the will of the saint, but also regards the navy of Hanzhou in the southwest of China, which is so abominable and arrogant!"
His voice echoed in the court, and he was a little excited, "But is there no strong army on the water in Hanzhou, southwest?"
He waved his sleeves hard and asked and answered, "Of course not! When the prefect of my Guang County heard about this, he was furious and ordered the Prince Bailou to personally lead the Guang County naval army to face the enemy head-on on the Han River. There was no fancy and meet on a narrow road. At that time, our Guang County generals and soldiers were willing to do so. The Jiangzhou naval army was exhausted but still arrogant. It was true after a battle..."
He looked at Zhao Wuji and smiled and declared loudly, "The Jiangzhou navy returned from defeat and has now retreated to Dangang!"
There was a sudden discussion in the sequence of generals.
Zhao Wuji spoke at the right time, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he suppressed the voices of a group of military officers, "Do you dare to ask the envoy of Guang County, can the Jiangzhou naval army be lost by 30%?"
Zhang Ziheng's smile remained unchanged, "Not 30%."
Zhao Wuji asked again, "Can Guangjun lose money be below Jiangzhou?"
Zhang Ziheng still replied, "The difference seems to be."
Zhao Wuji said, "Then congratulations."
"Thank you, Zhao Junwei," Zhang Ziheng smiled. There was no such thing as before in his words. He looked at Zhao Wuji and asked, "Is Zhao Junwei who thinks that my son will defeat the time of nature in this battle with the advantage of the territory, can it be called a great victory?"
"The Point Guard is Here"
Zhao Wuji snorted coldly, "If you win the heavens with the right place, how could you decide the winner so quickly?" He squinted Zhang Ziheng and said, "Young Master Yun is extremely brave and win by taking risks, so you can naturally be called a great victory!"
Zhang Ziheng still smiled and turned to look at Luochuan, his voice rising again, "Sir, this is the first good news that Ziheng brought to you! This great victory in Guangjun not only promotes the power of my southwest Hanzhou, but also protects the land of my southwest Hanzhou. It is a great thing, but compared with this one I will talk about next, it is insignificant...!"
