Chapter 505
In recent years, there have been frequent conflicts between Xifan and the Great Zhou on the frontiers. As its national power continued to grow stronger, it deliberately provoked the Great Zhou repeatedly and wantonly started wars, unable to hide its desire to encroach on the territory of the Great Zhou.

In the previous battle of Yaozhou, Nanzhao was defeated, and instead entangled with Xifan with the support of Dazhou.This time, Xi Fan was attacked on both sides, and after a long time, he thought of shaking hands with Da Zhou to make peace.

However, Xiao Lingjiang didn't believe it, how could a jackal like Xifan put away his intention of offending Zhou so easily and really befriend Da Zhou?
The mission of the Xifan envoy may not be simple.

Xi Fan said that he wanted to make friends with Da Zhou, so he brought a lot of generous gifts for this trip.

Since the other party took the initiative to lower their posture, Da Zhou should also fulfill the responsibility of the host and entertain them warmly and thoughtfully.

So, before the arrival of Xifan, Honglu Temple and Sifang Pavilion had already made preparations, and Jingzhao Yin Office also cooperated more.

On the day when the Xifan envoys arrived, the entire Yingdu was adorned with lights and festoons.The two sides of Zhuque Street were full of people who came to watch, and it was very lively.

Xiao Lingjiang stood on the restaurant facing the street, watching the mighty envoys coming from far and near.

The person in the lead is about forty years old, and he is tall as can be seen sitting on the horse.He wears a round-topped flat-brimmed hat decorated with silk tassels, a long robe on his body, and a necklace supported by red coral and beeswax on his chest, which is very luxurious.

This is the envoy this time - Gongji, the Grand Minister of Xifan.

It is said that this person is quick-witted, intelligent, and eloquent, and has made many contributions to Xifan, and is highly valued by Xifan King Muchi Zanpu.

There are two people behind Gongji who are dressed similarly to him, but only half a step behind him. Don't think too much, they must be the two deputy envoys.

Xiao Lingjiang sized them up, and then looked behind them, behind them were the mighty members of the envoys and the gifts of chariots and horses.

Almost instantly, a carriage in the convoy caught her attention.

Compared with other chariots, this carriage looks much wider, and the carvings and decorations are far from ordinary. The curtains hang down, completely covering the situation in the carriage, let alone the appearance of the people in the carriage.

However, the dozens of red-robed Xifan monks accompanying him implied that the people in the carriage were of extraordinary status.

Xiao Lingjiang couldn't help squinting his eyes, this person must be the legendary master Tuochi.

According to the information in her hand, Master Tuochi is the No. 12th Generation Root Living Buddha of Xifan Yongzhongben Sect, the No. 17th generation Dharma preacher of Tantric Buddhism, and is also the current national teacher of the Xifan King.

According to the legend, this rooting living Buddha is the incarnation of Samantabhadra Dainichi Tathagata. He reincarnated on the light, came to the world to teach all living beings, achieved supernatural powers, subdued devils, and did countless miracles.

Xiao Lingjiang didn't believe in such things as reincarnation, even if he was a member of the Taoist sect.However, after experiencing the incident of taking the house and sending her soul to others, she had other ideas.

Whether it's seizing the house or sending the soul, isn't it another kind of reincarnation?

However, only I can know how true or false this Xifan Shenggen Living Buddha is.

On this trip, Xifan even specially invited the national teacher to accompany him. Is it to show the sincerity of friendship, or is there another plan?
The envoys walked all the way through Zhuque Street and arrived at the envoy post. After a short correction, they entered the palace to formally meet the emperor through a pass.

"Join Your Majesty in the Great Zhou Dynasty." The three envoys put their left hands on their right chests and bowed.

The emperor raised his hand and signaled them to be excused: "Several envoys have come from afar, thank you for your hard work!"

Gong Ji's Zhou language was still a bit jerky: "Thank you, His Majesty Da Zhou, for your concern. I am here this time because I want to form a good relationship with Da Zhou, so as to cultivate the friendship of generations. Compared with it, this A little hardship on the road is nothing."

The emperor nodded, his words were just polite.

Xifan and Da Zhou have been at each other for a long time, and each has their own winners and losers in the confrontation. In addition, Xi Fan has a strong army and people's courage, and they have always regarded Da Zhou as a strong enemy.

Now that she put down her body and took the initiative to make friends, is it because of Nanzhao's actions that it is a little bit overwhelmed, or is there another plan?

The emperor is not that kind of naive person, if Xifan really wants to make friends, it will definitely not work without showing some sincerity.

Since Gongji and the others came, they were naturally prepared.

After exchanging some pleasantries, he stepped forward and said: "This time I came to Dazhou, my king specially prepared a gift for His Majesty Dazhou to express my friendship, and please allow me to present it."

The emperor nodded slightly, Gongji continued to signal, and servants carried boxes after boxes of things, including countless precious things such as gold, silver jewelry, coral beeswax, and even armor made of red gold.

Not long after, the hall was already packed to the brim.

Gongji bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty Zhou, these are all sincere gifts from Xibo, I hope you will like them."

The so-called stretching out one's hand and not hitting a smiling face, facing this palace full of treasures, even the emperor who has all over the world can't help but give him face.

What's more, putting on such a gesture at least proves that it really took thought and cost for Xifan to repair it this time.

With a slight smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to signal Gongji that there is no need to be polite: "I have received the kindness of the king of Xifan, and I also ask the great minister Gongji to thank me for me after returning to the country."

Gongji heard the words but did not straighten up, instead put his left hand on his chest, knelt down on one knee and made a big salute: "Your Majesty Zhou, Gongji came here this time to convey my king's invitation."

"Oh?" Seeing that he was so serious, the emperor smiled slightly, "I don't know what it is?"

"My king wants to marry Princess Da Zhou as his wife, so that we can marry forever!"

As soon as this remark came out, the hall was silent for a moment, and the emperor's face became condensed: "The king of Tubo wants to marry me, Princess Da Zhou?"

"Yes." Gong Ji Gong replied, "In order to show the intention of marrying, my king has already ordered people to build three nine-story buildings on the Red Mountain, and they will be completed in a few days to welcome the Great Zhou Princess."

As he spoke, he took out a roll of blueprints from his sleeve and presented them to the emperor: "On the blueprints is the appearance of the palace, may His Majesty Zhou have a look."

The emperor received the drawings from his attendant, on which the palace buildings were built on the mountainside, and the large stone walls stood up like cliffs, making the building seem to be integrated with the hills, majestic.

However, this palace cannot be built overnight.

Xifan and Great Zhou had always been incompatible. If he was to be convinced that Xifan started building this palace several years in advance in order to obtain the Princess of Great Zhou, it was still impossible.

"It really is magnificent!" The emperor smiled and praised, "However, I heard that Muchi Zanpu moved his capital here a few years ago, so maybe the construction of the Hongshan Palace started at that time?"

It is said that it was built to welcome the princess of Zhou Dynasty, but it was built to celebrate the move of the capital.
