Judge of the Lamp

Chapter 594 Thunder Means
Hong Zuchang of Qiancheng Kingdom looked at Xu Zhiqiong with a solemn expression.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Hong Zuchang patiently.

Of course he is patient.

He was sitting, Hong Zuchang was standing.

Sitting is definitely not uncomfortable, nor is it shabby.

Seeing this, Yan Anqing quickly sat down, he was familiar with Xu Zhiqiong's temper, and knew that Xu Zhiqiong would never buy into Qiancheng Kingdom's etiquette.

And it's not just the etiquette of the Qiancheng Kingdom, I'm afraid Xu Zhiqiong will not buy all the rhetoric of the Qiancheng Kingdom.

There was a stalemate over a cup of tea, Xu Zhiqiong and Liang Yuyao chatted and laughed, Hong Zuchang saw that no one was paying attention to him, and went back to his seat alone.

The scene was awkward, but Hong Zuchang didn't care.

He glanced back at the recorder behind him.

The envoys of Qiancheng Kingdom are most concerned about three things during their missions.

One is the specifications. Qianchengguo divides different countries into three levels.

Fanxiao Kingdom in the western region and Tunu Kingdom in the north are the first ranks in Qiancheng Kingdom.

Xuanguo defeated Tunuguo last year, barely considered the first rank.

Yu Xian and several medium-sized countries in the northern border are considered the second level.

The rest of the small countries count as the third level.

When going to countries of different levels, you need to send envoys of different levels, send gifts of different levels, bring horses and attendants of different levels, and provide different levels of food and drink.

The official system of Qiancheng Kingdom and Xuan Kingdom is basically the same. Hong Zuchang's official position is Doctor Guanglu, a high-ranking official who is qualified to be an envoy to a first-class country. In the view of the Lord Qiancheng, this is enough for Xuan.

The second thing to care about is the etiquette system. The Qiancheng Kingdom follows the ancient rituals and requires the other party to treat each other with the ancient rituals. This is the minimum respect for the Qiancheng Kingdom.

But what if the other party doesn't respect Qiancheng Kingdom very much?
There is a third thing to care about, and that is the recorder.

The role of the recorder is the most powerful, and he is related to the results of this mission.

Hong Zuchang glanced over, and the recorder immediately understood Hong Zuchang's intentions, and quickly wrote down:
Xu Zhiqiong, Marquis of Xuanguoyun, did not know ancient rituals, Hong Zuchang, a doctor of Guanglu, reprimanded him angrily, and Xu Zhiqiong, Marquis of Xuanguoyun, was so ashamed that he hung his head and trembled, not daring to look up.

This is the significance of the recorder. If this note continues, Qian Chengguo will have the absolute upper hand in this confrontation.

Hong Zuchang sat back in his seat and remained silent for a while.

The recorder made another note: Dr. Guanglu glared at the officials of Xuanguo, but the officials of Xuanguo did not dare to speak rashly.

Xu Zhiqiong took a sip of tea and said, "Speak up if you have something to say!"

Another note in the record: Xu Zhiqiong, Marquis of Xuan Guoyun, asked for advice from Dr. Guanglu.

Hong Zuchang sneered, but remained silent.

One more thing to record: Dr. Guanglu despises the ministers of Xuanguo.

Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "If you have nothing to say, I'll leave."

He didn't record things, he didn't know how to record them.

Hong Zuchang frowned and said: "We are here to discuss government affairs with your country."

Xu Zhiqiong said: "Let me just say it, if you have something to say!"

Hong Zuchang said: "Our country does not discuss important matters with the family members!"

This is for Liang Yuyao.

Liang Yuyao was annoyed, and was about to curse, Xu Zhiqiong asked her to wait for a while, then turned to Hong Zuchang and said, "This is my Grand Announcement of the Internal History Order. If you know the official system, you should know the identity of the Internal History Order."

The Qiancheng Kingdom also has an internal history order and a peace chapter on military and state affairs, and they are all extremely high-status existences.

Hong Zuchang sneered and said: "The internal history order is an important post in the military and administration of a country. How can it be held by a woman? When Emperor Zhaoxing was alive, the whole country reverted to the old rituals. Now the new king takes the throne and proclaims the national ritual system. , but it has collapsed to this point?"

Liang Yuyao couldn't bear it anymore, she shouted angrily: "What about a woman? Aren't you born of a woman?"

Hong Zuchang shook his head and said with a smile: "Women are like the mud in the world. When a man sows seeds in the mud, fruits will grow in the mud.

Although the fruit comes from the mud, how much has it to do with the mud?This is a little truth, but I ask you farmers who are preaching, do you understand it? "

Liang Yuyao clenched her silver teeth, but she didn't know how to refute.

No matter how Liang Yuyao refuted, Hong Zuchang would use the example of mud and farmers to talk Liang Yuyao to death.

Liang Yuyao has seen this kind of routine many times from Gongsun Wen, and it seems that this is the housekeeping skill of Qiancheng Kingdom.

Hong Zuchang looked at Liang Yuyao and smiled lightly.

A mere young woman dares to argue with me?

Hong Zuchang looked at Xu Zhiqiong again.

How many catties and taels can this young man have?

I heard that he fought in the South and the North, and made some meritorious deeds, but after all, he was just a martial artist.

Xu Zhiqiong stared at Hong Zuchang for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's go."

Hong Zuchang was startled: "Marquis Yun, what do you mean by that?"

Xu Zhiqiong said: "You Qiancheng Kingdom sent a person who was born in the mud to me to make a big announcement, so what's the point?

Clay figurines should be sent to the market. If they are handsome, they can be sold for more than ten yuan. If they are not handsome, they can only be gifted as gifts.

With a face like Dr. Hong's, no one would want it if he gave it away, but he still came to the palace to show his eyes? "

Hong Zuchang said angrily: "I just made a metaphor..."

Xu Zhiqiong sneered and said, "I declare that people are born from women, not from mud. You'd better go far away. I really can't stand the stench of mud on your body."

Hong Zuchang was so angry that he trembled all over, his face pale as paper.

Yan Anqing had no choice but to speak. If Hong Zuchang continued to provoke, Xu Zhiqiong would probably be mad at him to death.

"Doctor Hong came all the way from thousands of miles to preach to me, but it was for the affairs of Yu Xianguo."

Yan Anqing tried to bring the topic to the main topic.

Hong Zuchang originally wanted to do more foreshadowing before talking about the main topic, so as to gain some initiative.

Now it seems that the foreshadowing effect is not very good, so we can only talk about the topic first.

"The sages have said that the king is the guide for the ministers, the father is the guide for the sons, the elders and the young are superior and inferior, and each has its own ethics. If the guide is not there, where is the dignity of the king? Where is the dignity of the country? How is the people of a country different from the beasts without a master... "

Qiancheng Kingdom is the hometown of Gongsun Wen.

When Hong Zuchang said this, Xu Zhiqiong could see the shadow of Gongsun Wen.

If he was allowed to keep talking, he could talk for a whole day, just talking about his self-righteous Gildan, but he might not be able to hear a single point.

Xu Zhiqiong looked at Liang Yuyao. Liang Yuyao had adjusted her condition now and could have a relatively normal communication with Hong Zuchang.

"I said Doctor Guanglu, didn't you want to talk about Yu Xianguo? What are you talking about, father and son, your father is in Yu Xianguo?"

As long as she enters the rhythm that Princess Yuyao is used to, her language talent is amazing.

Hong Zuchang's veins twitched and he said: "What I'm talking about is the truth, it's the truth in the world, the father dies and the son succeeds, and the elder brothers will eventually live together. This is the right truth. Now that Emperor Yuxian Yeguan is still alive, and the prince Mochi ascended the throne, it's just right. It's usurping!"

After going around in such a big circle, I finally got to the point.

Mochi's father's name is Yeguan, and Yeguan is still alive. In the eyes of Qiancheng Kingdom, he is the legitimate king.

Xu Zhiqiong said in amazement: "Xu once fought with the army in Yu Xianguo. It is well known that Yu Xianguo's predecessor Jun Yeguan died in the battle."

Hong Zuchang shook his head and said: "This is a rumor. The Emperor Yeguan is still alive, and now he is in the capital of my country of Qiancheng. My lord, Emperor Taikang, treats each other with the courtesy of a monarch. The rest of the people are all performing their duties, and all government affairs are handled in an orderly manner."

Xu Zhiqiong couldn't help laughing.

What kind of government affairs can a Yu Xian court in Qiancheng Kingdom need to take care of?
There are probably only five things in their government affairs: eating, drinking, teasing, spreading, and licking the ditch of the king of Qiancheng.

This thing needs more than 100 people to do it?

Xu Zhiqiong was very curious, but he heard Liang Yuyao say aside: "You mean, the old emperor of Yu Xianguo didn't go to the battlefield to fight, but went to your Qiancheng Kingdom to hide from the disaster?"

Hong Zuchang's heart tightened when he asked this sentence.

He knew that this was a weakness of the old emperor Yu Xian, but he didn't expect Liang Yuyao to ask so directly.

He snorted coldly, expressing his reluctance to talk to Liang Yuyao.

Liang Yuyao frowned and said, "What are you humming about? Did Yeguan go to fight? Just tell me!"

Hong Zuchang still didn't speak, Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "Why didn't you answer what Neishi Ling asked you?"

Hong Zuchang said: "Emperor Yu Xian came to my country of Qiancheng to ask for help. The war is coming, so what's wrong with the king of a country asking for reinforcements?"

Liang Yuyao smiled and said, "He went to ask for help? Why did he still claim to have gone to the battlefield?"

Hong Zuchang said: "It's because they are afraid that the morale of the army will be unstable, and they are also afraid that the enemy will be prepared when they receive the news."

Liang Yuyao asked in surprise, "What is the enemy guarding against you? Have you sent reinforcements?"

Hong Zuchang snorted and said, "My Qiancheng Kingdom doesn't like war, but I'm never afraid of it. Back then, when our Qiancheng Kingdom went west..."

"Don't think about it, just ask your Qiancheng Kingdom faction not to send reinforcements?"

Hong Zuchang pursed his lips and said, "I, Qiancheng Kingdom, do not want to interfere in Yu Xian's internal affairs."

Liang Yuyao shouted: "If you don't interfere with Yu Xian's internal affairs, you still care who is the emperor?"

Hong Zuchang stared and said: "This is for the sake of etiquette, this is for the sake of clarifying the rules."

"When you are fighting, you don't take action. When someone else's family establishes an emperor, you come here to talk nonsense!" Liang Yuyao said with contempt, "An egg, you pull it horizontally or vertically, it is still the same egg, how much do you say?" You used nonsense and slapped yourself in the face, and you still have the mind to talk nonsense here, are you really not ashamed?"

Hong Zuchang got up angrily and said: "Your country repeatedly speaks ill at each other, how can my Qiancheng envoys be humiliated!"

Yan Anqing got up symbolically, and persuaded him: "Doctor Hong, please stop, don't be arrogant."

Hong Zuchang saw that there was a step to go down, so he shouted loudly: "It's about my honor and disgrace. There is no discussion on this matter. I must go!"

He said he had to go, but in fact he stopped.

He wanted to wait for everyone to persuade him, then come back and continue talking.

Seeing this, Xu Zhiqiong hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "Doctor Hong, some words of Neishi Ling are indeed harsh, I can't stand listening to them,

It's about the honor and disgrace of the Qiancheng Kingdom, you must never leave. A man of Taoism can be killed, but not humiliated. Doctor Hong is a bloody person, and he should have smashed his head to death in the hall in front of us! "

Hearing the words, Hong Zuchang left the hall very quickly.

For the envoys, the honor and disgrace of Qiancheng is very important, but after all, it is not as good as his own life.

After leaving the palace, Hong Zuchang hurriedly asked the recorder to write down: Marquis Xuan Guoyun was rude, Dr. Guanglu left angrily, and the officials of Xuanguo stayed together bitterly, but Dr. Guanglu ignored it.

With this record, Hong Zuchang thought that his face had been recovered.

But it is not enough to just regain face, the actual problem has not been resolved.

Back at the post house, Hong Zuchang repelled the others and prayed sincerely: "Holy Ancestor, if a major event is to be achieved today, Xu Zhiqiong must be eliminated first, and then Emperor Changle will be killed."

There was a sigh in his ear: "Now we really need some thunderous means."

In Zhewei Star Palace, Liang Xiaoen heard an order: "Kill Xu Zhiqiong, you can get the Xingxiu Corridor."

Liang Xiaoen smiled, and then showed a little embarrassment: "If you kill in the mortal world, I'm afraid you violated the rules."

"As long as you succeed in one blow, I will take care of this matter!"
