Daqin: The poorest prime minister, the first emperor begged me to corrupt
Chapter 210 Even if the wedding date cannot be missed, congratulatory gifts are indispensable!
Chapter 210 Even if the wedding date cannot be missed, congratulatory gifts are indispensable!
Nanjun has won the day this time, and under the continuous wind and rain, it has completed the collection and storage of summer grain in the whole county with almost no loss.
The sheriff said that it all depends on the joint efforts of the people...
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but I ignored the Nanjun garrison soldiers who played a vital role in it.
In other words, the sheriff just wanted to put gold on his face, because "the people work together with one morality" is to flaunt the achievements of the civil affairs officials, and to flaunt his achievements as the sheriff.
But no matter how he plays with his lips, the facts speak louder than words.
The people are not blind. They worked side by side with the soldiers and soldiers for more than ten days. They knew that without these Guanzhong sons who came to help with chariots, horses and agricultural tools, it would be impossible to collect and store the summer grain in Nanjun without loss. possible things.
Inevitably, production must be reduced by more than [-]%, or even more than half!
And it should be said or not, these down-to-earth Guan Zhongerlangs really made the people of Nanjun really like them from the bottom of their hearts.
The initial resistance and defensiveness had long since been thrown into the fertilizer cesspit.
The common people in the head of Guizhou may not know the laws and rituals, but they value righteousness and principles. How can they not know that the soldiers and soldiers are the key to victory over the sky this time?
How can you just watch the guards and soldiers who have helped you a lot leave without saying a word?
hula--
After a short period of stupefaction, the people of Nanjun all flocked to the soldiers who had already lined up.
The county guard wanted to say a few more words, show more face in front of the people, after all, the official voice can only be good in the evaluation, and he will be promoted to the center in the future.
But before he opened his mouth, the people all chased after those soldiers in an instant, no one wanted to hear that he was working poorly, and only he and a group of prefects and county officials were left there, looking at each other in embarrassment.
"General, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"You guys haven't tasted the newly harvested summer grain yet."
"Come back to the camp tomorrow, how about letting us show our friendship as a landlord?"
The three brothers Zhong, Heifu, and Jing, led the people in Xiyangli, grabbed the reins of the captain, the lieutenant general, and several mission officers, and kept them with one voice.
When the rest of the common people saw it, they all followed suit, surrounded the marching array of soldiers, and found familiar soldiers who had worked side by side in recent days, and they would not let go if they were held back.
"Brother has worked hard for several days for me, and the wine made from new rice has not been tasted yet, how can you leave like this..."
"Young baby said today that you can't walk at all. My girl made you new shoes. The soles are as thick as a finger..."
"If you leave like this, wouldn't it appear that our Nanjun elders are ungrateful and ungrateful..."
"..."
A sound of enthusiastic retention and pulling palms one by one made it difficult for the guards and soldiers to move forward, and they could only look at the officers ahead for help.
But the officers were held by the people in Xiyangli, and there was nothing they could do about it.
Judging by the posture of the people, it is really not easy to leave today!
Just now, there is a fast horse in the army, and the first emperor's edict was sent, ordering the Nanjun garrison to step up their drills, and dispatching people to Guanzhong to observe the military parade. After returning, they have to learn how to hold a military parade. They have to go back to the camp to prepare... …
The captain exchanged glances with several missionary officers, and several missionary officers exchanged glances with each other, and then they all nodded.
In the end, the captain-level mission officer bowed his hands to the three brothers Zhong, Heifu, and Jing in front of Ma Qian and said: "The kindness of the elders of Nanjun is hard to be rejected. If the soldiers leave regardless, they will inevitably appear unreasonable and hurtful." The friendship between our army and the people is harmonious..."
Zhong answered immediately, and said hesitantly: "Yes, the military and the people are harmonious, and what the general said is true."
"So, sons and daughters, don't go back to the camp today. Let the people of Nanjun entertain you as a landlord!"
Let's hurry up, and when it comes to this, if you insist on leaving, it will really hurt your friendship.
The mission officer didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he stopped being hypocritical, nodded and said: "Since that's the case, the soldiers will stay today and have fun with the elders of Nanjun."
"However, there is a law in the army that you should not drink too much, and women should not entangle with soldiers, otherwise you will harm them!"
Zhong nodded again and again to express his understanding, and then shouted to the people: "Zhu Xiangzi, go home and bring wine, meat and food, and reward our Southern County soldiers."
"Here~!!!"
The people immediately responded loudly, and went to prepare happily.
The soldiers of the garrison were relieved, and they all let out a sigh of relief, and returned to the threshing ground to station.
The captain also went to the missionary officer, hesitantly said: "Old Mi, the military order issued by His Majesty's Guowei Mansion is clearly written, our soldiers participate in the summer harvest, we are not allowed to stay in the people's homes, we are not allowed to eat the food of the people, dare to have Violators will be punished for the crime of plundering the people."
"After a while, the people will bring wine and meat, should the soldiers eat it or not?"
"If you don't eat it, it will hurt your friendship, but if you eat it, you will violate the military order. What are you doing?"
The missionary officer smiled, and asked without answering: "You know, why did His Majesty emphasize the participation of the garrison soldiers in all counties in the edict issued by His Majesty to seize the harvest of summer grain?"
"And why leave hundreds of thousands of slaves of foreign races unused, and only let them repair the canals and dams?"
The captain was stopped by the question, and he blinked his eyes in bewilderment.
After a while, he finally opened his mouth to answer: "There is a lot of rain in the counties this year, and the rivers and dams have to be repaired. If the foreign slaves are drawn out to participate in the summer grain harvest, if there is a flood in the counties and all the summer grain is lost, it will be the cart before the horse. .”
"That's why, letting slaves of foreign races sell some of their strength to repair river canals and dams to prevent floods is the best use of human beings."
"Comparatively speaking, our soldiers and soldiers are all from farming families, and they are first-class crops. Participating in summer grain harvesting is also a way for people to make the best use of them."
"Your Majesty's edict is very appropriate!"
The mission officer smiled and shook his head, and explained: "This is just one of them. If you are proficient in military law and ideology, you should know the deep meaning of His Majesty. It is to promote the harmony between the army and the people, so that the people of the world will no longer fear the Qin army."
The captain immediately rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Speak as you say, don't take the opportunity to criticize me..."
"Besides, if I was sent by His Majesty to guard the land of Nanjun, I am not a stupid person. How could I not know His Majesty's deep meaning, which is to want harmony between the army and the people and to stabilize the local rule."
"But where is the military order of Guowei's mansion? If you let the soldiers eat the wine and meat of the common people, it is a violation of the military order. Do you want them to lose their heads?"
After talking for a while, the topic returned to the original point.
eat?
Still don't eat?
It's a tricky question!
"I really doubt how you were promoted to the position of captain. Didn't you use your brain when you fought in the past?"
"Letting the soldiers eat and drink for free is naturally a violation of military orders."
"But if the wine and meat sent by the common people are clearly recorded by each household, and when they leave the camp tomorrow, they will pay the money and leave, so what is it?"
The mission officer complained about him speechlessly, and finally asked again.
Snapped--
The captain immediately slapped his forehead hard, and laughed loudly: "Hahaha, you are really a clever ghost~!"
Paying after eating is the purchase of military rations, so naturally it is not a violation of military orders.
In this way, the friendship between the army and the people is fully realized, and the common people know that today's Great Qin soldiers will never take advantage of the common people.
This will once again deepen the people's trust in the generals of the Great Qin Dynasty.
Deepen the recognition of Daqin's rule!
……
……
In the inner city of Xianyang, Guanzhong, in the villa next to the Houfu Academy.
"After discussing the matter of the military parade with the emperor on the same day, Qin Qin left ahead of schedule and returned on a fast horse. How could he not be at home?"
Young Master Gao couldn't hide his disappointment and asked.
Concubine Yu served him tea and explained: "The gentleman left Yujia early and came back just to prepare for the military parade."
"That's right, after Kuaima came back, he took a change of clothes and went directly to Shanglinyuan to step up his training for the lieutenant army. He hasn't been home recently."
"If brother is in a hurry to see Junzi, I can send someone to Shanglinyuan to inform Junzi, and come back to meet with brother sometime!"
Young Master Gao hurriedly waved his hands: "No, it's different...Sister Yu must not be like this, it's still a matter of state, if not, the military parade is delayed, Father will blame him."
When he came to visit Qin Mo, he had other intentions, and he absolutely didn't dare to delay the political affairs by making extra troubles.
"By the way, I heard that the father gave the marriage to Prime Minister Qin, and married you, sister Yu, elder sister Yuan Man, and the sister Lu Zhi, the South China princess who has never met, to Prime Minister Qin. I don't know when the wedding will be set?"
Young Master Gao turned around and asked with a smile.
Concubine Yu said shyly, "Just after the Nacai ceremony, I caught up with Xiashou, and now it's the military parade again, and it's still far away from the application period."
There were six wedding ceremonies in the pre-Qin period, namely Nacai, Wenming, Naji, Nazheng, Invitation for Date and Personal Welcome.
Every etiquette procedure is exquisite!
"In that case, Brother Wei may not be able to catch up with the wedding date..."
Young Master Gao was slightly disappointed, but then smiled again: "However, even if the wedding date is not in time, congratulatory gifts are indispensable!"
As he spoke, he winked at the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch understood, and immediately left the hall and left the villa.
Leaning a little, I saw armored guards carrying large and small boxes into the villa and placing them in the yard of the villa.
After a short time, the whole yard was filled with boxes and cages of all sizes.
Young Master Gao waved his hand gently, and the armored guards opened the cage in unison, revealing a dazzling array of gold, silver, and jade objects inside, shining brightly in the sun!
Concubine Yu looked at it in astonishment: "This...brother, isn't this congratulatory gift too expensive?"
She wasn't surprised by the gold, silver and jade articles themselves, but was stunned by such a precious gift, which is a bit exaggerated.
Young Master Gao smiled and waved his hands: "It's so precious, sister Yu just don't think it's shabby!"
Suspicion flashed in Yu Ji's eyes. Although she was not old, she was not a little girl who knew nothing about the world.
On the contrary, she is very understanding of the world.
As for Young Master Gao's mind, she can probably guess a thing or two with a twist of her brain!
"Ah, so many treasures..."
When Yu Ji was hesitating, there was a clear exclamation at the door.
Young Master Gao looked up, but he saw that it was the eldest sister Yuan Man, leading a group of younger brothers and sisters who were still on vacation, coming to visit the house to play.
The one who exclaimed was none other than the young Hu Hai!
At this time, he looked at the gold, silver and jade wares all over the yard, his eyes widened, and he rushed forward and grabbed the one he liked and put it in his arms.
Snapped--
Yuan Man was behind, reaching out to give him a slap in the neck.
Hu Hai shrank his head from the beating, and didn't need Yuan Man to speak at all, so he took out the treasures he had put into his arms one by one and put them back to their original places with a bitter face.
Yuan Man nodded in satisfaction, looked at Yu Ji and Young Master Gao and asked, "This is?"
Yu Ji explained with a smile: "Brother Gao heard about our marriage with the gentleman, so he sent congratulatory gifts...these are all."
Yuan Man slightly raised his black eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Young Master Gao's face, making him uncomfortable.
Her understanding of the world is perhaps not as good as that of the younger Yu Ji.
But growing up in the royal family made her more sensitive to many things than Yu Ji!
"Sister, why are you looking at me like this?"
Young Master Gao laughed somewhat guiltyly.
Yuan Man withdrew his piercing eyes, smiled suddenly and said: "I heard that your country is rich and prosperous, and the people all praise you. Your virtuous name is even better than that of Fu Su brother. Now it is worth seeing, you are indeed very rich. Woolen cloth."
There is something in these words.
Young Master Gao understood, and just said in a dazed way: "Shang Ke, Shang Ke... Eldest sister, don't think the congratulatory gift is shabby."
"It's not shabby, so we'll accept it. Thank you for your congratulations."
Yuan Man was not hypocritical, accepted the congratulatory gift calmly, and knelt down to express his thanks.
Young Master Gao felt guilty, so he didn't want to stay longer, chatted with Yu Ji and Yuan Man for a while, and made an appointment with his younger brothers and sisters to go hunting and play in the city tomorrow, so he said goodbye as if he was running away.
Yuan Man looked at his back, secretly shook his head and smiled wryly.
Yu Ji called out Queen Pasade and Annie Wei, and asked the mother and daughter to join hands. Everyone worked together to put all the congratulatory gifts from Young Master Gao into the cellar and hide them.
Then... my husband and grandson came in to report again, saying that the young master came to see him.
Yu Ji and Yuan Man looked at each other in dismay.
And then...
Concubine Yu had a weird expression on her face, so she asked her husband, grandson, to open the middle door and go out to greet her in person.
Yuan Man shook his head again and smiled wryly: [Every one of them is worry-free! 】
……
In just one day, Yu Ji and Yuan Man accompanied all the princes outside the Great Wall to welcome them.
All come with great gifts!
Seeing that Qin Mo was not at home, and that Yuan Man and his younger brothers and sisters were all there, the princes felt somewhat guilty and dared not send him off.
But Yuan Man did not refuse anyone who came, and brought all the gifts, so there was no reason to take them back, so let's keep the presents.
If you don't want to stay, you have to stay, otherwise, tell Father immediately!
Therefore, the princes came here in joy and returned in disappointment. Not only did they not see Qin Mo's face, but they also knew that this generous gift was for nothing.
So irritating!
The eldest sister is more and more like the Qin Xiang back then, and she doesn't even blink when she takes money from people!
But in the depression of the princes, time passed by in a flash, and at the court meeting at the beginning of the month, the princes and envoys from other countries gathered in front of the main gate of Xianyang Palace, waiting for Ying Zheng to be formally summoned.
Tread-tap-
The sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and the princes and envoys from various countries in front of the palace gate were all attracted to the sound, and they all looked for the sound.
The person who came was wearing silver armor and was riding a magnificent white horse. Under the sunlight, both the person and the horse were shining brightly.
Looking at it from a distance, it is simply blinding people's eyes!
call-
One person and one horse quickly came to the front, reining in the reins to stop the horse.
The young masters cursed the coquette in their hearts, but after rubbing their eyes to get used to the brilliance radiating from the person who came, and seeing clearly that the so-called coquette was the Qin Mo they had been thinking about day and night, they were overjoyed again.
"I've seen Prime Minister Qin."
All the princes bowed their hands together to salute.
Qin Mo got off his horse, handed the reins of the sweaty white horse to the guards at the palace gate, and returned the salute to the young masters: "Young masters, be polite!"
The envoys from various countries had already inquired about the important figures of the Great Qin court, so after hearing the princes call Qin Mo the Prime Minister of Qin, they immediately understood that the young general Sao Bao in front of them was the legendary young prime minister.
He is also the ruler of the most powerful and wealthy Hexi Kingdom among the feudal states outside the Great Wall!
"Xiao Wang (prince, envoy) of Xia Kingdom, pay homage to the Lord of Hexi (Prime Minister of Great Qin)~!!!"
Envoys from all over the world paid homage.
Qin Mo bowed his hands in return: "You gentlemen are polite... I have to go to the Great Court Meeting, so I'm sorry, and everything is strange."
"Prime Minister Qin (Lord of Hexi, Prime Minister of Great Qin) does as he pleases."
Everyone greeted each other with hand in hand.
Qin Mo stopped talking nonsense and stepped into the palace gate.
……
In the main hall, the grand court meeting was coming to an end, and the old prime minister, Wang Wan, was mainly reporting the situation of summer grain collection and storage in various counties.
And, the land tax that has already started to be collected one after another!
Qin Mo could hear clearly outside the hall, so he stopped the waiter from the Huangmen who wanted to announce loudly, so as not to disturb Old Wang Wan's report.
Then, he quietly entered the palace, walked around to the steps of His Majesty and stood there, as if he was already there!
But, that's just his own feeling, his low-key obviously failed...
Because the flamboyant silver armor on his body was too eye-catching in the palace, as soon as he appeared on the steps of His Majesty, the eyes of civil and military officials immediately focused on him.
Even Old Wang Wan stopped reporting.
Well, the main reason is that the report is over, Zhao Gao took the memorial from Old Wang Wan and forwarded it to Ying Zheng!
Ying Zheng put it on the desk, looked at Qin Mo in front of your majesty's steps, and asked, "Ai Qing, can we hold a military parade today?"
wow-
Qin Mo immediately raised his hands and bowed, his nails squeaked all over his body, and said solemnly: "Report to Your Majesty, everything has been prepared, and the soldiers of the lieutenant army under review are already on standby at the south bank of the Weihe River."
"Good~!"
Ying Zheng nodded, then turned to Zhao Gao and said, "Xuan see the envoys from all countries."
Zhao Gao hurriedly bowed his hands, and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Xuan the envoys from all over the world to see you~!"
After a little leaning, there was also a vigorous shout outside the hall: "Xuan the envoys from various countries have an audience..."
One after another, the relay passed on.
After about a cup of tea time, envoys from various countries headed by the princes, under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, entered the palace solemnly with their heads bowed, and paid homage to Ying Zhengxing on the steps of his majesty: "The little king of the next country (the prince) , envoys), it is His Majesty the Emperor to meet Daqin~!!!"
Ying Zheng raised his hand to help him, and said, "Excuse me."
All the princes and envoys from various countries accepted the courtesy in unison, still hanging their heads solemnly, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Next, officials from the Ministry of Rites sang the salute.
Recite the credentials of the princes and envoys from various countries, and present gifts to Ying Zheng!
The letters of credence and rites of all the sons are similar, the difference is only in the amount of gifts, which is more filial to Lao Tzu than anyone else.
It wasn't until they recited the letters of credence brought by the envoys from various countries that Ying Zheng and the ministers were truly invigorated.
Especially when reading Jizi Joseon's letter of credence, Yingzheng and the officials' ears perked up!
This time, not only countries outside the Northwest Region came, but also envoys from several countries in the Northeast, including Sushen, Fuyu, and North Korea who were confronting Daqin!
(End of this chapter)
Nanjun has won the day this time, and under the continuous wind and rain, it has completed the collection and storage of summer grain in the whole county with almost no loss.
The sheriff said that it all depends on the joint efforts of the people...
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but I ignored the Nanjun garrison soldiers who played a vital role in it.

But before he opened his mouth, the people all chased after those soldiers in an instant, no one wanted to hear that he was working poorly, and only he and a group of prefects and county officials were left there, looking at each other in embarrassment.
"General, why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"You guys haven't tasted the newly harvested summer grain yet."
"Come back to the camp tomorrow, how about letting us show our friendship as a landlord?"
The three brothers Zhong, Heifu, and Jing, led the people in Xiyangli, grabbed the reins of the captain, the lieutenant general, and several mission officers, and kept them with one voice.
When the rest of the common people saw it, they all followed suit, surrounded the marching array of soldiers, and found familiar soldiers who had worked side by side in recent days, and they would not let go if they were held back.
"Brother has worked hard for several days for me, and the wine made from new rice has not been tasted yet, how can you leave like this..."
"Young baby said today that you can't walk at all. My girl made you new shoes. The soles are as thick as a finger..."

The captain exchanged glances with several missionary officers, and several missionary officers exchanged glances with each other, and then they all nodded.
In the end, the captain-level mission officer bowed his hands to the three brothers Zhong, Heifu, and Jing in front of Ma Qian and said: "The kindness of the elders of Nanjun is hard to be rejected. If the soldiers leave regardless, they will inevitably appear unreasonable and hurtful." The friendship between our army and the people is harmonious..."
Zhong answered immediately, and said hesitantly: "Yes, the military and the people are harmonious, and what the general said is true."
"So, sons and daughters, don't go back to the camp today. Let the people of Nanjun entertain you as a landlord!"
Let's hurry up, and when it comes to this, if you insist on leaving, it will really hurt your friendship.
The mission officer didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he stopped being hypocritical, nodded and said: "Since that's the case, the soldiers will stay today and have fun with the elders of Nanjun."
"However, there is a law in the army that you should not drink too much, and women should not entangle with soldiers, otherwise you will harm them!"
Zhong nodded again and again to express his understanding, and then shouted to the people: "Zhu Xiangzi, go home and bring wine, meat and food, and reward our Southern County soldiers."
"Here~!!!"
The people immediately responded loudly, and went to prepare happily.
The soldiers of the garrison were relieved, and they all let out a sigh of relief, and returned to the threshing ground to station.
The captain also went to the missionary officer, hesitantly said: "Old Mi, the military order issued by His Majesty's Guowei Mansion is clearly written, our soldiers participate in the summer harvest, we are not allowed to stay in the people's homes, we are not allowed to eat the food of the people, dare to have Violators will be punished for the crime of plundering the people."
"After a while, the people will bring wine and meat, should the soldiers eat it or not?"
"If you don't eat it, it will hurt your friendship, but if you eat it, you will violate the military order. What are you doing?"
The missionary officer smiled, and asked without answering: "You know, why did His Majesty emphasize the participation of the garrison soldiers in all counties in the edict issued by His Majesty to seize the harvest of summer grain?"
"And why leave hundreds of thousands of slaves of foreign races unused, and only let them repair the canals and dams?"
The captain was stopped by the question, and he blinked his eyes in bewilderment.
After a while, he finally opened his mouth to answer: "There is a lot of rain in the counties this year, and the rivers and dams have to be repaired.

"That's why, letting slaves of foreign races sell some of their strength to repair river canals and dams to prevent floods is the best use of human beings."
"Comparatively speaking, our soldiers and soldiers are all from farming families, and they are first-class crops. Participating in summer grain harvesting is also a way for people to make the best use of them."
"Your Majesty's edict is very appropriate!"
The mission officer smiled and shook his head, and explained: "This is just one of them. If you are proficient in military law and ideology, you should know the deep meaning of His Majesty. It is to promote the harmony between the army and the people, so that the people of the world will no longer fear the Qin army."
The captain immediately rolled his eyes, and said angrily, "Speak as you say, don't take the opportunity to criticize me..."
"Besides, if I was sent by His Majesty to guard the land of Nanjun, I am not a stupid person. How could I not know His Majesty's deep meaning, which is to want harmony between the army and the people and to stabilize the local rule."
"But where is the military order of Guowei's mansion? If you let the soldiers eat the wine and meat of the common people, it is a violation of the military order. Do you want them to lose their heads?"

Deepen the recognition of Daqin's rule!
……
……
In the inner city of Xianyang, Guanzhong, in the villa next to the Houfu Academy.
"After discussing the matter of the military parade with the emperor on the same day, Qin Qin left ahead of schedule and returned on a fast horse. How could he not be at home?"
Young Master Gao couldn't hide his disappointment and asked.
Concubine Yu served him tea and explained: "The gentleman left Yujia early and came back just to prepare for the military parade."
"That's right, after Kuaima came back, he took a change of clothes and went directly to Shanglinyuan to step up his training for the lieutenant army. He hasn't been home recently."
"If brother is in a hurry to see Junzi, I can send someone to Shanglinyuan to inform Junzi, and come back to meet with brother sometime!"
Young Master Gao hurriedly waved his hands: "No, it's different...Sister Yu must not be like this, it's still a matter of state, if not, the military parade is delayed, Father will blame him."
When he came to visit Qin Mo, he had other intentions, and he absolutely didn't dare to delay the political affairs by making extra troubles.
"By the way, I heard that the father gave the marriage to Prime Minister Qin, and married you, sister Yu, elder sister Yuan Man, and the sister Lu Zhi, the South China princess who has never met, to Prime Minister Qin. I don't know when the wedding will be set?"
Young Master Gao turned around and asked with a smile.
Concubine Yu said shyly, "Just after the Nacai ceremony, I caught up with Xiashou, and now it's the military parade again, and it's still far away from the application period."
There were six wedding ceremonies in the pre-Qin period, namely Nacai, Wenming, Naji, Nazheng, Invitation for Date and Personal Welcome.
Every etiquette procedure is exquisite!
"In that case, Brother Wei may not be able to catch up with the wedding date..."
Young Master Gao was slightly disappointed, but then smiled again: "However, even if the wedding date is not in time, congratulatory gifts are indispensable!"
As he spoke, he winked at the eunuch beside him.
The eunuch understood, and immediately left the hall and left the villa.
Leaning a little, I saw armored guards carrying large and small boxes into the villa and placing them in the yard of the villa.
After a short time, the whole yard was filled with boxes and cages of all sizes.
Young Master Gao waved his hand gently, and the armored guards opened the cage in unison, revealing a dazzling array of gold, silver, and jade objects inside, shining brightly in the sun!
Concubine Yu looked at it in astonishment: "This...brother, isn't this congratulatory gift too expensive?"
She wasn't surprised by the gold, silver and jade articles themselves, but was stunned by such a precious gift, which is a bit exaggerated.
Young Master Gao smiled and waved his hands: "It's so precious, sister Yu just don't think it's shabby!"
Suspicion flashed in Yu Ji's eyes. Although she was not old, she was not a little girl who knew nothing about the world.
On the contrary, she is very understanding of the world.
As for Young Master Gao's mind, she can probably guess a thing or two with a twist of her brain!
"Ah, so many treasures..."
When Yu Ji was hesitating, there was a clear exclamation at the door.
Young Master Gao looked up, but he saw that it was the eldest sister Yuan Man, leading a group of younger brothers and sisters who were still on vacation, coming to visit the house to play.
The one who exclaimed was none other than the young Hu Hai!
At this time, he looked at the gold, silver and jade wares all over the yard, his eyes widened, and he rushed forward and grabbed the one he liked and put it in his arms.
Snapped--
Yuan Man was behind, reaching out to give him a slap in the neck.
Hu Hai shrank his head from the beating, and didn't need Yuan Man to speak at all, so he took out the treasures he had put into his arms one by one and put them back to their original places with a bitter face.
Yuan Man nodded in satisfaction, looked at Yu Ji and Young Master Gao and asked, "This is?"
Yu Ji explained with a smile: "Brother Gao heard about our marriage with the gentleman, so he sent congratulatory gifts...these are all."
Yuan Man slightly raised his black eyebrows, and his eyes fell on Young Master Gao's face, making him uncomfortable.
Her understanding of the world is perhaps not as good as that of the younger Yu Ji.
But growing up in the royal family made her more sensitive to many things than Yu Ji!
"Sister, why are you looking at me like this?"
Young Master Gao laughed somewhat guiltyly.
Yuan Man withdrew his piercing eyes, smiled suddenly and said: "I heard that your country is rich and prosperous, and the people all praise you. Your virtuous name is even better than that of Fu Su brother. Now it is worth seeing, you are indeed very rich. Woolen cloth."
There is something in these words.
Young Master Gao understood, and just said in a dazed way: "Shang Ke, Shang Ke... Eldest sister, don't think the congratulatory gift is shabby."
"It's not shabby, so we'll accept it. Thank you for your congratulations."
Yuan Man was not hypocritical, accepted the congratulatory gift calmly, and knelt down to express his thanks.
Young Master Gao felt guilty, so he didn't want to stay longer, chatted with Yu Ji and Yuan Man for a while, and made an appointment with his younger brothers and sisters to go hunting and play in the city tomorrow, so he said goodbye as if he was running away.
Yuan Man looked at his back, secretly shook his head and smiled wryly.
Yu Ji called out Queen Pasade and Annie Wei, and asked the mother and daughter to join hands. Everyone worked together to put all the congratulatory gifts from Young Master Gao into the cellar and hide them.
Then... my husband and grandson came in to report again, saying that the young master came to see him.
Yu Ji and Yuan Man looked at each other in dismay.
And then...
Concubine Yu had a weird expression on her face, so she asked her husband, grandson, to open the middle door and go out to greet her in person.
Yuan Man shook his head again and smiled wryly: [Every one of them is worry-free! 】
……
In just one day, Yu Ji and Yuan Man accompanied all the princes outside the Great Wall to welcome them.
All come with great gifts!
Seeing that Qin Mo was not at home, and that Yuan Man and his younger brothers and sisters were all there, the princes felt somewhat guilty and dared not send him off.
But Yuan Man did not refuse anyone who came, and brought all the gifts, so there was no reason to take them back, so let's keep the presents.
If you don't want to stay, you have to stay, otherwise, tell Father immediately!
Therefore, the princes came here in joy and returned in disappointment. Not only did they not see Qin Mo's face, but they also knew that this generous gift was for nothing.
So irritating!
The eldest sister is more and more like the Qin Xiang back then, and she doesn't even blink when she takes money from people!
But in the depression of the princes, time passed by in a flash, and at the court meeting at the beginning of the month, the princes and envoys from other countries gathered in front of the main gate of Xianyang Palace, waiting for Ying Zheng to be formally summoned.
Tread-tap-
The sound of horseshoes came from a distance, and the princes and envoys from various countries in front of the palace gate were all attracted to the sound, and they all looked for the sound.
The person who came was wearing silver armor and was riding a magnificent white horse. Under the sunlight, both the person and the horse were shining brightly.
Looking at it from a distance, it is simply blinding people's eyes!
call-
One person and one horse quickly came to the front, reining in the reins to stop the horse.
The young masters cursed the coquette in their hearts, but after rubbing their eyes to get used to the brilliance radiating from the person who came, and seeing clearly that the so-called coquette was the Qin Mo they had been thinking about day and night, they were overjoyed again.
"I've seen Prime Minister Qin."
All the princes bowed their hands together to salute.
Qin Mo got off his horse, handed the reins of the sweaty white horse to the guards at the palace gate, and returned the salute to the young masters: "Young masters, be polite!"
The envoys from various countries had already inquired about the important figures of the Great Qin court, so after hearing the princes call Qin Mo the Prime Minister of Qin, they immediately understood that the young general Sao Bao in front of them was the legendary young prime minister.
He is also the ruler of the most powerful and wealthy Hexi Kingdom among the feudal states outside the Great Wall!
"Xiao Wang (prince, envoy) of Xia Kingdom, pay homage to the Lord of Hexi (Prime Minister of Great Qin)~!!!"
Envoys from all over the world paid homage.
Qin Mo bowed his hands in return: "You gentlemen are polite... I have to go to the Great Court Meeting, so I'm sorry, and everything is strange."
"Prime Minister Qin (Lord of Hexi, Prime Minister of Great Qin) does as he pleases."
Everyone greeted each other with hand in hand.
Qin Mo stopped talking nonsense and stepped into the palace gate.
……
In the main hall, the grand court meeting was coming to an end, and the old prime minister, Wang Wan, was mainly reporting the situation of summer grain collection and storage in various counties.
And, the land tax that has already started to be collected one after another!
Qin Mo could hear clearly outside the hall, so he stopped the waiter from the Huangmen who wanted to announce loudly, so as not to disturb Old Wang Wan's report.
Then, he quietly entered the palace, walked around to the steps of His Majesty and stood there, as if he was already there!
But, that's just his own feeling, his low-key obviously failed...
Because the flamboyant silver armor on his body was too eye-catching in the palace, as soon as he appeared on the steps of His Majesty, the eyes of civil and military officials immediately focused on him.
Even Old Wang Wan stopped reporting.
Well, the main reason is that the report is over, Zhao Gao took the memorial from Old Wang Wan and forwarded it to Ying Zheng!
Ying Zheng put it on the desk, looked at Qin Mo in front of your majesty's steps, and asked, "Ai Qing, can we hold a military parade today?"
wow-
Qin Mo immediately raised his hands and bowed, his nails squeaked all over his body, and said solemnly: "Report to Your Majesty, everything has been prepared, and the soldiers of the lieutenant army under review are already on standby at the south bank of the Weihe River."
"Good~!"
Ying Zheng nodded, then turned to Zhao Gao and said, "Xuan see the envoys from all countries."
Zhao Gao hurriedly bowed his hands, and shouted to the outside of the hall: "Xuan the envoys from all over the world to see you~!"
After a little leaning, there was also a vigorous shout outside the hall: "Xuan the envoys from various countries have an audience..."
One after another, the relay passed on.
After about a cup of tea time, envoys from various countries headed by the princes, under the leadership of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, entered the palace solemnly with their heads bowed, and paid homage to Ying Zhengxing on the steps of his majesty: "The little king of the next country (the prince) , envoys), it is His Majesty the Emperor to meet Daqin~!!!"
Ying Zheng raised his hand to help him, and said, "Excuse me."
All the princes and envoys from various countries accepted the courtesy in unison, still hanging their heads solemnly, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Next, officials from the Ministry of Rites sang the salute.
Recite the credentials of the princes and envoys from various countries, and present gifts to Ying Zheng!
The letters of credence and rites of all the sons are similar, the difference is only in the amount of gifts, which is more filial to Lao Tzu than anyone else.
It wasn't until they recited the letters of credence brought by the envoys from various countries that Ying Zheng and the ministers were truly invigorated.
Especially when reading Jizi Joseon's letter of credence, Yingzheng and the officials' ears perked up!
This time, not only countries outside the Northwest Region came, but also envoys from several countries in the Northeast, including Sushen, Fuyu, and North Korea who were confronting Daqin!
