v2.Chapter 349

After the end of the new year, after copying, Beili Chaozhong suddenly received a letter with a strange style.

This national document is neither from Dongling, nor from Xikun, nor from the other frontier tribes of Kyushu mainland. It claims to be a sangyi country from the East.

There is a vivid golden chrysanthemum pattern on the top, but the back cover is white, which is strange.

It's not like a letter of state, it's like an obituary.

There are different opinions on the letter of sangyi between the two sides.

"To your majesty, this sangyi country is just a small island country on the East Sea, a place of barbarians. Hundreds of years ago, they sent envoys to the mainland of Kyushu to study various cultures and techniques, and took many books with them. If not, I'm afraid they are still drinking blood. It's just a small country. Your majesty doesn't have to worry about it. "

There are those who don't care, and naturally there are those who think too much.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter deserves attention. Since the mainland of Kyushu was divided into Beili, Dongling and Xikun, there has been no contact between sangyi and Beili. Now they have sent envoys from afar, and the letters of state have written such humble words as meeting the new king, which makes me feel strange. If you are so respectful and polite to Beili, why didn't you send envoys before? "

Yu Fu nodded slightly and ruled in the middle, "what you Aiqing said is reasonable. Now sangyi has just sent a letter, but the envoys have not yet arrived. I don't know what their specific purpose is. Since the sangyi Kingdom disappeared and reappeared after a hundred years, I think it's a little strange. It's right to handle it carefully. I'll send someone today to find out the whereabouts of the envoys. We must find out where they came from, whether they went directly to Beili or somewhere else first. "

As soon as the ministers heard of other places, they immediately became alert.

If you want to talk about other places, besides the Dongling, where else?

Just then, the Minister of the Ministry of industry suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have a heartless request. I hope that when your majesty sends someone to investigate the movements of the envoys of the sangyi Kingdom, you can find the ships they came by."

Yu Fu could not help but wonder, "ships?"

"Yes."

The Minister of the Ministry of industry said with a smile: "this sangyi country is indeed a small barbarian country. Almost all of their things were learned from the mainland of Kyushu. But the boat is the only one. As a natural advantage of the island, it is said that it is very well made. Your majesty, if their envoys can travel thousands of miles from sangyi to Beili by boat, can we be sure to go to sangyi by boat? "

Yu Fu pondered for a moment. It was vaguely recorded in the historical records that the first emperor sent envoys to sangyi, but there was no news when he went. He did not know whether he was buried in the sea or stayed in sangyi.

If we want to cross the sea safely and reach sangyi country thousands of miles away, we may not be sure.

Beili is like this, not to mention Xikun and Dongling.

Yu Fu nodded, "what Ai Qing said is reasonable. No matter whether they are small barbarians or not, as long as they have advantages over us, we should learn modestly. I will order people to pay attention to inquire. "

The Minister of the Ministry of industry returns to his position with a smile. If his shipbuilding skills are improved, his achievements in the Ministry of industry will not be guaranteed.

The people sent by Yufu inquired for many days before they came back, "Your Majesty, I have inquired clearly. The ship of the envoy of the sangyi Kingdom stopped at a harbor in the land of Lu. The envoys sent their letters to the capital. When their subordinates left, they were ready to come to the capital. They haven't been to other places in advance. In addition, the drawings of the ships have been drawn and submitted to the Ministry of industry. Their ships are very huge, but when they see them, they have already docked and can't see the speed of sailing. "

There seems to be nothing wrong with the news.

Yu Fu said, "how many envoys are there and how large are they?"

"There are a large number of people. There are about a thousand people on board, including dozens of well-dressed envoys besides the servants and soldiers. The subordinates also saw that they carried a lot of wooden boxes to the shore, which seemed to be the tribute to the capital. It was about ten times more than the gifts presented by Dongling during the Chinese New Year.... "

Ten times?

Yu Fu can't help but pick an eyebrow. Gu Shubai listens and laughs, "those wooden boxes shouldn't be filled with stones, right? Little barbarian island country, it would be better if we didn't come to Beili for autumn wind. How can we afford so many gifts? "

Yu Fu also felt strange, but in a hurry, she found so much information, so she waved her hand to let people back.

After waiting for people to leave, Yu Fu said: "they all say that there is nothing to do. They are either cheating or stealing. I don't think it's a big deal if this sangyi country doesn't send so many envoys and gifts. The scale of the gifts given by the envoys is so huge that people can't help suspecting it. "

Gu Shubai got up and went to the bookshelf beside him. He took out an ancient book with mottled cover. "Come and have a look at this. I found it last night by looking through the ancient books."

Sangyi country is a strange concept to many people. All the news they know is hundreds of years ago. Therefore, Gu Shubai has been consulting books recently to try to learn more about this country.

In the book in his hand, there are two lines about sangyi.Yu Fu took a close look at his hand. "It says that sangyi is not only small, but also divided into dozens of small islands. And the country is poor, the population is scarce, and there is a lack of medicine. Many children die young. "

In this way, it is impossible for sangyi to give so many gifts.

Gu Shubai closed the book and said: "what is recorded in this book is the sangyi Kingdom hundreds of years ago. Many things can happen in hundreds of years. Today's sangyi kingdom may not only have strong national strength, but also a large population. I let you read this book, not to let you know sangyi country from the book, but to tell you that this country can no longer be compared with the past. "

Yu Fu nodded, thinking that some ministers in the court claimed that the barbarian small country was not worth mentioning, he said, "you are right. Even if it is really a barbarian small country, we can't take it lightly. At present, we are in the critical period of the unification of the mainland of Kyushu. I don't think any variables are allowed to happen. "

"What if sangyi is really a variable?"

"Then If you meet God, kill God, if you meet Buddha, kill Buddha

……

At the beginning of spring, the envoy of sangyi came to the capital.

It is written in the national documents that the highest rank of visiting envoys is sang Yi's second grade left minister. Yu Fu ordered Chen Jingxing, who is also a second grade official, to go out of the city to greet him, which is also a courtesy.

Chen Jingxing and his officials and subordinates set up a tent outside the city to welcome him. Rao Shi has rich experience in sending envoys to various countries, and he knows the local conditions and customs of various countries very well. He was surprised to see the dress of sangyi's envoys.

The "white impermanence" like short envoys in high hats are very funny, just like a big play at a temple fair.

There were a large number of them, and the carriage behind them was in a long line, full of gifts, which looked very grand.

The envoys were very respectful and polite with a smile. When they came to see each other, Chen Jingxing found that the white robes they were wearing were also embroidered with golden chrysanthemums.

He thought it was only the left minister who was the leader. But when he looked at it carefully, all the officials in white robes had them.

It seems that the golden chrysanthemum has a unique meaning for the sangyi people, and unlike in Kyushu, this color is only available to the royal family.

"You envoys have been working hard all the way. I'm Chen Jingxing, Minister of beilihonglu temple. I'm here to meet you by your Majesty's will. Please drink a glass of water and wine to relieve your fatigue. "

After that, he personally picked up the wine cup and handed it to minister Zuo, who took it respectfully with both hands. "Thank you, Mr. Chen. Thank you, your majesty Beili, for your hospitality. We are very grateful."

As soon as his words were over, all the envoys behind him bowed humbly before taking the drink. Chen Jingxing was relieved to see them so respectful and polite.

He slightly turned his head and looked at the soldiers behind him. The soldiers left quietly and went back to the palace to report to Yu Fu.

After some trivial hospitality, a group of envoys were welcomed to the post house. Chen Jingxing said, "please have a rest, so as not to be tired and acclimatized. Your majesty will meet you in person in a few days."

The left minister, who was in a daze, soon regained his smile. "It's my official's impoliteness. I think I can see your majesty when I come here today. It's my official's eagerness to worship. In this case, please send Mr. Chen's present to the palace, which was prepared by King sangyi, and send his greetings to your Majesty on behalf of me and the king of our country. "

Chen Jingxing was full of respect when he listened to his words, and his words were very appropriate. He could not help but have some good feelings for him.

It is said that sangyi is a small barbarian country, but he came to Kyushu several times several hundred years ago to study. Now that he has learned the culture and etiquette of Kyushu, he is different from other small barbarian countries.

Chen Jingxing nodded slightly, "I will convey it to you. Please give me a rest. I won't disturb you."

After that, he and the envoys saluted each other and took those gifts back to the palace.

As soon as Chen Jingxing left, the left minister raised his head and gave him a strange smile.

The envoys behind him stepped forward and said something to him in sangyi's language. Then they saw minister Zuo's disdainful eyes and responded to him.

Even if the soldiers in the post house heard them talking, they didn't know what they were talking about.

However, when minister Zuo came back to his room, he heard two soldiers in the backyard muttering, "the people of sangyi had said different things from us, so how could they say so well?"

"Haven't you heard that they came to mainland Kyushu to study hundreds of years ago? We must have learned our words at that time. What's so strange about that... "

The left minister chuckled and quietly went into the room. He took off his shoes and knelt on the couch. He closed his eyes slightly.

"Beili, little nvjun, very good."

……

In the palace, the Ministry of rites of yufuming received a gift from sang Yi, leaving only a gift list.

Compared with the letter of the people's Republic of China, this gift list made her laugh and cry.

It's not that there are not enough things on the top, nor that they are precious enough, but that all the things are from the mainland of Kyushu, and there is nothing Yufu doesn't know.

Sangyi is a remote island country. He sent gifts to Beili from afar, but what did he send to Beili?It's kind of funny.

"Which country does not give its own special products as a farewell gift? Dongling likes to send silk, Xikun likes to send fur, and Beili likes to send ginseng and deer antler. Doesn't sangyi have its own specialty? "

Yao LAN heard Yu Fu's words and said, "isn't sang Yi a small island country? You can't let them deliver fish and shrimp, can you? I'm afraid it stinks before it's delivered. I think they must have no special products of their own, so they will send these things learned from us. "

Yu Fu just said, "listen to Mr. Chen, the Minister of sangyi was very respectful and polite, and he spoke in an orderly way, unlike other people. It's no different from us, except that we're oddly dressed and very short. "

Yao LAN is very sensitive to the word "short". She can't help but wonder, "how short is extremely short?"

Yu Fu turned his lips. "Mr. Chen said it was a three inch nail. I don't think it's so exaggerated. About About a little shorter than the Dongling people. "

After two days of summoning sangyi envoys, Yufu realized that what Chen Jingxing said was true.

It's just that they are short. All these envoys are wearing very high black hats. They seem to want to cover up their height defects, but they look more and more nondescript.

On the golden hall, the ministers were solemn and the heavenly family was majestic. These sangyi envoys were especially funny when they came in.

When they got to the center of the hall, they all knelt down and bowed to the ground, which surprised the ministers of Yufu and Beili.

When envoys go to other countries all the time, what they value most is the dignity of their own country. They will not give big gifts to foreign monarchs.

The envoys of the sangyi kingdom not only knelt down, but also bowed to the ground. It can be seen how respectful and humble they were to Beili.

All the ministers in the court were quite satisfied. Yu Fu raised his hand and ordered them to get up. "You envoys have been working hard for a long time. Are you used to living in the capital these days?"

At the beginning, it was customary for the envoys of Sang Yi to exchange greetings and condolence. Naturally, Yu Fu said something lenient and magnanimous, so that they didn't have to be restrained when they were traveling in the middle of Beijing.

After talking about the scene, she slowly turned to the topic, "the country of sangyi has had little contact with Beili for a hundred years. I was surprised to see the letter of sangyi. What's the purpose of your envoys coming here? "

The left minister arched himself and said respectfully, "tell your majesty that we have come to Beili at the order of King sangyi to congratulate your Majesty on his accession to the throne. I know that it has been more than a year since your majesty ascended the throne. We are late. But the sea is stormy and the country of sangyi is far away from Beili. When we heard the news, it was too late for us to prepare a gift and travel all the way to Beili. "

This is still to express the respect of Beili to Yufu, not to the point.

Yu Fu said with a smile, "I didn't expect your country to attach so much importance to my accession to the throne. But since your country intends to tie up with us in Beili, why didn't you hear from us for hundreds of years? "

Minister Zuo almost did not think about it. "Tell your majesty, it's not that our country does not want to send envoys, it's because the mainland of Kyushu collapsed into three kingdoms before that, we dare not come. On the one hand, when they heard about the war, they worried about being implicated. On the other hand, he could not distinguish the situation of the three countries. He was afraid that he would offend the other two by visiting one of his majesty. But your majesty, after you ascended the throne, the strength of Beili in the Three Kingdoms is the strongest. Your majesty dares to send envoys here! "

This sounds very honest, and the ministers in the court can't help but feel scornful.

Small island countries can't see the situation clearly. For a while, they didn't dare to rely on it at will. Now when they see that their northern glass is powerful, they just send generous gifts to please them. This is also the consistent style of small and weak countries.

There's nothing wrong with it, but it's a bit of a understatement.

Yu Fu nodded and said, "I see. Since your country has so much love for me, I should be more concerned about your situation. How many cities and population are there in your country today

The left minister is aware of the contempt of the ministers in Beili court. He thinks that they despise sangyi. He doesn't want the young lady to ask him about his country calmly.

He was stunned and thought for a moment before he said, "thank you for your concern. There are thirty-five cities in our sangyi kingdom. As for the number of people Less than 100000, right? Chen is not very clear, our country has not yet registered residence. Though we learned the registered residence system from the Kyushu continent hundreds of years ago, we have never had the manpower and material resources to implement it.

One of the courtiers couldn't help smiling. He thought that this barbarian country came to Beili to learn something, but he was worried. Now he is relieved.

Even if they learn to leave, they have the ability to do it. There is nothing to worry about.

Yu Fu eyebrows a pick, "Oh? The original sang Yi Guo's national strength even registered residence can not be achieved? Then the king of your country sent so many valuable gifts, didn't he make the country poorer? "
