Chapter 173 Please take the lunatic Shen Yi!

After Emperor Xianzong won a few battles, Northern Qi actually lost the opportunity to herd horses in the south. After that, the people of Qi began to attack Nan Chen in other ways, such as buying Chen Guo officials and wooing Chen Guo. Chinese talents, and through a series of means, weaken or destroy Chen Guo's hostility towards the north as much as possible.

It is worth mentioning that when Emperor Xianzong died suddenly, some people suspected that it was the death of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

But in the past few years, Yang Jingzong, the Prime Minister who has been in control of the court and blindly begged for peace from the north, was also secretly said that he was a spy planted in the court by Northern Qi.

As of today, although the general environment between the two countries is still opposed to each other, it is very common to send envoys to each other, envoys, and even intermarriage.

When Chen Guo was weak in the early years, there were no few princesses to marry. Up to now, there are still several princesses from the Li family in Yandu City in the north.

Therefore, it is very common for Northern Qi to send envoys.

But this time, the Northern Qi's mission was very large, with nearly 200 people. The chief officer of the mission was the Minister of Rites of the Northern Qi Dynasty. His surname was Zhu and his name was Zhu Huai.

The minister of the Ministry of Rites is the prime minister of the eight classics.

Because whether it is Chen Guo or Northern Qi, the ministers of the Ministry of Rites generally do not pay respects to their prime ministers. Even if they do so, they first worship their prime ministers and then serve as ministers of the Ministry of Rites, instead of worshiping as ministers of the Ministry of Rites.

Therefore, there is a very high possibility that the minister of the Ministry of Rites will pay homage to the prime minister. For example, Pei Yuan, the current minister of the Ministry of Rites, as long as he does a good job in his current position, it will be as fast as one or two years, and as slow as five or six years. He will enter the Zhongshu Province to pay homage to the prime minister.

The Prime Minister of the Northern Qi Dynasty came to visit Da Chen, and the specifications were very high. Even His Majesty the Emperor of the Chen Kingdom was embarrassed to see him. Therefore, the Minister Zhu successfully entered the imperial city the day after he arrived in Jiankang , accepted the summons of the little emperor.

The little emperor also kept an eye out, and specially ordered Zhu Huai to be summoned alone, so the servant Zhu could only go to the imperial city alone to face the saint.

Before entering the imperial city, Zhu Shilang made a special trip to the guild hall of the Ministry of Rites and met his own princess. Then he set off from the guild hall of the Ministry of Rites and came to the imperial city of Chen Guo. Finally, in the Deqing Hall of the imperial palace, he met To His Majesty the Emperor of Dachen.

Because it was not a court meeting, there were not many ministers in the Deqing Hall, only the Prime Minister Zhang Jing and the Minister of Rites Pei Yuan were present, accompanying the emperor to meet the Minister of Rites of the Northern Qi Dynasty.

After Zhu Huai entered the Deqing Hall, he first glanced at the people present, then knelt down in front of the little emperor, and said, "Foreign Minister Zhu Huai, I pay my respects to His Majesty the Emperor of the Southern Dynasty."

Hearing the word "Southern Dynasty", the little emperor frowned subconsciously, then he glanced at Zhu Huai, and said lazily: "You don't have to be polite, Zhu Shilang, just get up."

Zhu Huai is a middle-aged man in his 40s. Although his beard is a bit thick, it is well-groomed. He is tall, but looks a little gentle. After he got up, he stood with his hands down, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing his respectful and courteous appearance, several ministers present, including the little emperor, couldn't help frowning.

Not because Zhu Huai was rude, but because Zhu Huai was too polite.

If the Minister of Rites sent by the Northern Qi Dynasty last time behaved barbarously, he looked like a barbarian, but the Minister of Rites of the Northern Qi Dynasty in front of him observed etiquette in every word and deed, not only did he not look like a barbarian, It's like those great Confucians who worship the ancients!
Han family etiquette, he has learned [-]% of it!
More importantly, this Zhu Huai is not a Han Chinese.

In other words, his ancestors were not Han people, but he was from a decent Hu people. His original surname was "Zhuo Tuo". Zhuo Tuo wishes.

To put it bluntly, if everyone in Qi is like this, in a few decades, it will be really unclear who is the orthodox Han family.

The little emperor kept his composure, glanced at the Northern Qi servant, and said slowly: "I wish the servant came to see me in Jiankang this time. I don't know why?"

"For the sake of my Princess Daqi."

Zhu Shilang looked up at the little emperor, then bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, last year my emperor sent Princess Izumo here, with the intention of forming a good relationship between Qin and Jin with your country, and the beauty of marriage with your majesty, so that the two countries can become brothers." Bang, from now on, brother and friend respect each other, and the generations will be harmonious..."

Speaking of this, he paused, and continued: "According to the logic, if His Majesty agrees with this marriage, even if there is no grand wedding, preparations should be started, or the emperor should be notified of the date of marriage. If His Majesty does not agree with this Regarding the marriage, we should also go to Yandu and explain the matter in detail, so that my emperor can take back Princess Izumo."

"And Your Majesty, I don't care about Princess Izumo, and I don't have any letters of credence to go north. My emperor was very puzzled, so I sent a foreign minister to ask His Majesty."

Zhu Shilang's voice was resounding: "The Southern Dynasty is known as a land of gentleness and a state of etiquette. If you dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the etiquette in the Southern Dynasty?"

The little emperor was taken aback by the question, and then his expression turned a little ugly.

This matter was indeed his fault.

He didn't want to marry the Northern Qi princess, let alone make that Northern Qi princess his queen, but Yang Jingzong, the prime minister in power at the time, didn't want to offend the people of Qi, so he wanted to delay this matter for a year and a half Set it up, and the matter will naturally be resolved.

Procrastinating until now, logically speaking, Chen Guo is of course a little "disrespectful".

The little emperor was silent for a while, and glanced at Pei Yuan, the Minister of Rites of his family. He coughed and said, "Pei Qing handled this matter. Let Pei Qing and Zhu Shilang talk about it in detail."

Pei Yuan stood up, also a little embarrassed, he looked at the emperor, then at Zhu Huai, and then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is a long story, and I have to say it in this Deqing Palace, no I know when it is said, please wait a moment, and explain this matter with Zhu Shilang in the Ministry of Rites."

"Ah."

The emperor nodded: "That's the way to do it. Zhu Shilang will go to the Ministry of Rites later and ask Pei Qing to explain this matter to you."

The little emperor coughed pretendingly, and asked, "Is there anything else that Mr. Zhu wants to do?"

"Have."

Zhu Huai looked serious, he glanced at the emperor, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, after the foreign minister entered Jiankang, he went to see Princess Izumo on purpose. According to Princess Izumo, she was in Jiankang East City Street half a month ago. I was drinking tea in the Tianqing Teahouse, and before I finished the tea, a lunatic broke into the second floor and splashed tea on the door!"

Zhu Shilang's voice was low: "Your Majesty, this not only insults Princess Izumo, but also my Daqi, and also insults Your Majesty's face! It has been nearly half a month since the incident happened, and the Jiankang Yamen has not yet arrested the madman. , and ask Your Majesty to issue an order to strictly handle this matter!"

The little emperor on the throne frowned slightly: "Is there such a thing?"

He rolled his eyes and said again: "However, Jiankang City is so big, it's not easy to find someone. May the servant know the name of that lunatic, so I can let Jiankang Mansion handle this matter."

The little emperor's words were obviously defending Shen Yi.

What he means is that if you don't know the name, it's very difficult to find the parties.

"Return to Your Majesty, the ministers know."

Zhu Shilang bowed his head deeply and cupped his hands.

"The lunatic's surname is Shen Mingyi, a native of Jiangdu Prefecture in the Southern Dynasty, and he is still living in Jiankang City at this time, and he is at large!"
