The entourage stood on both sides, and the envoy stepped forward, saluted, wore a ring with a sound, his eyes were shining, and he was looking at a lively and fragrant beauty.
But I saw the woman crossing her crosses on her chest, making a strange gesture, then raising her arms slightly, then spreading them out, speaking in a language that Duan Ye couldn't understand, while the envoy's followers all looked pious.
Obviously, this is a local custom. It is probably a ceremony to meet a distinguished person.
Lu Guang and others also respected their customs and led everyone down to the high platform to greet them. They stood there solemnly until the woman saluted again, then stood up and said in fluent Mandarin: "King Qiuci
Bo Chun has admired the majesty of the Heavenly Dynasty for a long time. Now he knows that the Qin Dynasty's Sanqi often serves as the commander-in-chief Yumen. He has all the troops in the west. General Anxi and the Western Region Colonel Lu are hunting here. He specially ordered Jiangyu to come to pay homage to the governor and offer ten pairs of Kunlun jade.
A bunch of Dendrobium pearls from the Kongque River, and a piece of jade clothing with gold threads, to relieve the fatigue of the army of the Heavenly Dynasty from the expedition."
After that, the entourage took the gift from the camel, and Lu Guang did not refuse. After talking about the friendship between the two parties, he asked the secretary to accept the gift and register it in the book. The two parties bowed politely, and then invited the envoys Jiangyu and Ji.
A confidant went up to the high platform to talk, while the others were led by the quartermaster to have a drink.
Even though Lu Guang and others were Chinese, they didn't have many greeting routines, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with receiving the envoys on a high platform. Besides, they also arranged a few banquets. After some greetings, the two parties took their seats.
On the high platform, we set up wine to meet each other.
The two sides exchanged polite greetings, but Jiangyu spoke first, saying: "The Governor has been deep in the quicksand for several years, and is famous in the Western Regions. To reply with this is also to be famous in the world. Qiuci has admired the Chinese civilization for five hundred years, and his children
He is proud of his wife and son of the Han family, and his family is proud of the affairs of the Han family. Today, the Qin army will conquer and fight, and it will be invincible when hunting in the Western Regions. Qiuci does not dare to have the power of the heavenly army, but only for Qiuci's 100,000
As a plan for the survival of the people, I hope that the Governor will show some mercy to all living beings and not add any weapons to Qiuci. Qiuci will always be a vassal of the Qin Dynasty and guard the Western Regions."
"Since you are our vassal of the Qin Dynasty, why do you close the pass and prevent entry and exit? Why are the merchants of our Qin Dynasty taxed several times more than others? Why did our envoy of the Qin Dynasty die in Qiuci?" Lu Guang asked with a straight face.
Jiangyu replied calmly: "The great governor Mingjian closed the pass because the king of Chechnya and the king of Shule had ulterior motives and wanted to lure Tuguhun Yifu into the Western Region. The Yifu people are uncultured and do evil and persecute merchants. My king, Bo
It is purely for the safety of the people of the Qin Dynasty. They temporarily avoid the pass to protect the territory and the people. Now that the Japanese army has arrived, those thieves and bandits must not dare to do illegal things anymore. Qiuci should open the gate to allow merchants to pass without hindrance.
.”
"As for taxes." Jiangyu paused, "My king has always been a member of the Celestial Dynasty. How dare he impose heavy taxes? The records of the past years are still in the treasury. Jiangyu should send someone to show it to the governor. As for the tax collectors from various places, there are occasionally
Lawlessness and extortion are hard to stop, but this is definitely not my king’s intention. My king will definitely punish corruption and punish evildoers, and in the future he will also give tax reductions to the merchants of the Celestial Dynasty. As for the murder of the Celestial Dynasty’s envoys, Jiangyu has also heard about it. This is what Yifu did, and people
All the evidence and evidence are there, the murderer has been captured by our king, I only ask the governor to make a decision."
Tsk tsk. Duan Ye secretly praised in his heart. This girl looks hot and innocent at the same time, with big breasts and no brains. Unexpectedly, what she said was sensible and reasonable, and her diplomatic rhetoric was impeccable. It is really amazing. Therefore.
The look in Jiang Yu's eyes became more and more lewd.
Jiangyu finished speaking in one breath, and was about to take a break to respond to Lu Guang's next questioning. Unexpectedly, the annoying man just now was still staring at her, as if his eyes could penetrate her clothes, and she couldn't help but throw her away.
She rolled her eyes, wanting to warn him, but to her surprise, the man who looked like a scholar actually raised his eyebrows. In the eyes of outsiders, it looked like he was flirting. Jiangyu couldn't help but feel secretly annoyed.
"Even so, I have received the king's order, but it has to start and end." Lu Guang said slowly. This is actually tantamount to rejection.
"According to what Jiangyu heard, the emperor ordered the governor to supervise En Huaiyuan, clear up the Western Regions, and make the Western Regions as respectful as the Han Dynasty. Now that Qiuci has been subordinated to the Celestial Empire, why bother to pay for it?" Jiangyu said slyly.
"Okay." Lu Guang stopped arguing with words and raised a finger and said: "Qiuci has only one choice, silk pure to enter the court; all the kings of Qiuci must be canonized by our Great Qin; the prince will be a hostage; pay the New Year's Eve
currency."
"My king is slightly ill now. Since Kuang Fan is guarding the border for the emperor, and the emperor's edict arrives, he must go to the palace. As for the prince as a hostage, it is natural. All my king's sons admire Han culture and want to travel to the Central Plains.
I can't get what I asked for. As for the time of canonization and yearly coins, this has been the case in my Qiuci dynasties."
Duan Ye almost laughed out loud. This little girl was so slick and seemed to agree to everything, but in fact she had no practical information at all. Waiting for Fu Jian's edict was clearly a delay. There was no chance that the prince would be a hostage. Silk
If you don't want to enter the court, you can just send an unfavored son to him. You can't do anything about him. As for canonization, it has to be done in person, or does it have to be admitted to the court. Yearly coins? Small countries in the Western Regions bring some local specialties to exchange for silk tea.
Do you have the nerve to call it Sui Coin?
But everyone here is a human being, who can't hear this trick? Lu Guang was not polite, and said calmly: "Your Majesty once had a secret edict, granting the governor Chi Jie, the affairs of the Western Regions can be exclusively levied, and the silk is pure.
The matter of going to court is also decided by His Majesty. If Miss Jiangyu is willing, I have the golden book and can start the journey tomorrow. I believe that by the time King Qiuci arrives in Gyeonggi, my king's army of one million has already captured Jin and returned to the court."
Duan Ye didn't have much idea, but Juqu Nancheng, Bald Litan and others looked stern. Generals have to issue orders to the world when they go on expeditions. Generally speaking, they are not awarded festivals, which means that generals only have military tasks.
.But once the festival is held, it means that one has arbitrary power and can be responsible for the military and civil affairs. The festival also has different levels, representing different powers. The festival is the highest, the festival is the second, and the holiday is the bottom.
When observing a festival, one can kill no more than two thousand stones; when observing a festival, a person without an official position can be killed, and if it is a military official, it can be the same as an envoy holding a festival; when it is a festival, only the military can kill anyone who violates the military order.
Lu Guang received the envoyship, which meant that he could take charge of all matters in the Western Regions, and he had Fu Jian's full endorsement. But the paradox is that since Fu Jian trusted Lu Guang so much, he did not
This was announced during the expedition, but Lu Guang announced it at the critical moment. What does this mean?
Everyone began to think about it. God's power is unpredictable. This is the truth. If the superior makes a random move, the people below have to figure it out, lest they judge the superior's intention wrongly. Many times, in fact, the superior does not have so many considerations.
The people below have their own daydreams, and the more they think about it, the more outrageous they become.
This is the magic of power!
Jiangyu's face was also a little ugly. In diplomatic work, intelligence is too important. But this time, no one in Kucha City knew that Lu Guang still used Chijie. Without Chijie, even though Lu Guang was in charge of the military, he would not be able to do many things.
If you make the decision alone, the civil and military officials below can still have their say. Besides, there is also Liangzhou Governor Liang Xi...that disgusting man! In this situation, many things have to be re-planned. Information asymmetry will lead to consequences.
A big loss. And there are some losses that a small country with few people cannot afford!
