History of the Great Zhou Dynasty

Chapter 46 Dayu won’t sit down
Young Master Lie was shocked.

But more helpless.

"Lie is unable to resolve the matter between Master and Dazai. I only hope that Master can be safe and sound."

If Feng Yun is safe, then Dazai will be in danger.

It's not in vain that Feng Yun sincerely taught Young Master Lie and had no selfish intentions.

And Gongzi Lie said again: "Master..."

"Please envoys, gentlemen, come into the palace. The banquet is about to begin."

The chamberlain who came out interrupted the young master Lieutenant's words, and the surrounding young master's envoys all came in one after another.

Feng Yun stepped forward.

Young Master Lie behind him hurriedly whispered: "Master, you represent the public opinion and the hearts of the scholar-bureaucrats, and you need to be stronger. However, as a young master, I represent the monarch, but you need to be weak. In this way, you can reconcile Master." Exonerate the master at the critical moment, lest the barbarians ignore the restraints of the ancestors and attack the master."

After saying that, Gongzi Lie lowered his head and said nothing.

Feng Yun looked back in surprise, but didn't say anything.

Although he has restraint in his heart, who knows whether Yue Jun has restraint. If Gong Zilie can reconcile one or two, that would be fine.

……

There are more stairs in Yuebo Palace than in the Grand Courtyard, making it appear more solemn.

However, looking at the appearance of his countrymen, most of them were rude people. They had no respect for the envoys, and they all rushed forward.

A soldier came forward, trying to push Feng Yun away.

Feng Yun looked coldly and said bluntly: "Di Yu is a great virtuous man. How can he protect his descendants when they see them being so arrogant?"

The armored soldier hesitated. Although he was angry, he did not dare to treat Feng Yun rudely anymore. Instead, he carefully led the way.

The palace is bustling and dazzling in just a few steps.

Looking up, there are mostly white fox reliefs with different postures, each expressing auspiciousness.

In the main hall, the center has been cleared, and a circle of bamboo mats has been spread around. Low tables are connected on the bamboo mats, and they are filled with fruits and snacks.

But these positions are not for the prince to sit.

I saw Yue Jun sitting alone on the high platform facing the gate.

He is dressed in a barbarian-style bean suit, with his hair disheveled and without a crown, and his whole body is made of pearls in chains and decorated with jewels. He is extravagant and bold. There are no servants around him, and they are all standing by at a distance, showing the aloof posture of a Yuejun.

On the bamboo mat in his right hand, a middle-aged man wearing purple feathers sits kneeling on his head. He has a long beard and casual clothes, like a straight train, but flowing freely and without restraint, which is obviously different from the clothes of the scholar-bureaucrats around him.

And these scholar-bureaucrats filled all the seats, leaving no room left.

In this way, all the princes and envoys who entered the palace looked worried.

Yuejun, what does this mean?

Sitting at the head of the left seat was Sima Yue who was at the door just now. At this time, he was looking at Feng Yun in the hall with amusement.

The smile was incomprehensible, as if he was about to take revenge, but it was strangely a little worried.

Feng Yun didn't look at him, but looked at the person sitting on the right.

Great divination from the country of Yue!

He is also the innate qi refiner.

The Qi Refiner closed his eyes and meditated, seemingly turning a deaf ear to the surrounding situation and wandering around in the sky.

At this time, the king of Yue State scanned the faces of the young masters on the field, and finally stopped at Feng Yun.

"Who is that young master?"

Yuejun's voice was rough and unconcealed, and could be heard from above the hall.

The envoys in the middle of the hall didn't know who they were talking about and were all frightened, but the scholar-bureaucrats around them knew it well.

Before the chamberlain next to him could answer, the Sima from earlier rushed over and said, "This is Situ from the Da Ting Kingdom. He looks like a human, but he has a lot of evil in his heart."

Yuejun admired the color and nodded, but only listened to half of the sentence: "Just give up one seat and let Situ of the Great Court take his seat."

With just one sound, among the full seats in the hall, the person sitting at the bottom stood up and prepared to give up his seat.

The wind does not move.

It may seem like an honor, but being at the bottom of the table is not acknowledging the weakness of the court and the state of the country.

Seeing this, some Yue scholars were dissatisfied.

"Young son of the great court, my Lord, Grace, is not ready to sit down at the table!"

Feng Yun said: "Emperor Yu and the people, down to the clans and tribes, are lobbying the world and sending envoys to all tribes in order to transform the tribes into a country, conduct themselves in a well-behaved manner, and benefit all people."

"At that time, it was a remote and barbaric land with no morals and etiquette. Emperor Yu came as an envoy, and the whole world was grateful for his actions in controlling the floods. Immediately, everyone in the tribe sat on the grass and let Emperor Yu sit on the felt."

"Di Yu said: In the wilderness, there are also virtues, and they should not be bullied by barbarians." "Then Emperor Yu sat on the grass, and he was the same as everyone else. With such virtue, the barbarian tribes all obeyed, and later returned to Emperor Yu to establish the Jiuzhou Kingdom. .”

After Feng Yun finished speaking, the main hall was silent. The Qi Refiner sitting on the right opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Feng Yun, as if examining him.

Yuejun looked deeply at Feng Yun and felt something was different.

The envoys from the past did not dare to refute his words.

"What kind of person is Di Yu, and what kind of person are you?" someone said loudly.

Feng Yun glanced.

"Why, is the Yue Kingdom really a barbarian?"

Hearing Feng Yun's words, the Yue people were angry. They hated these polite countries and called them barbarians.

But before they could get angry, Feng Yun said: "The land of Yue is the land of Yangzhou under the rule of Dayu. It was originally a land of barbarians, but with the division of nine states, how can it be called barbarians?"

"Now the barbarians are nothing but barbarians as the Zhou Dynasty regards them."

"But the Yue State at this time was clearly a direct lineage of Dayu, Ouyang Yue of Xia."

In the Yue Kingdom, the surname was Ouyang and Si. At this time, the country was Ouyang Yunchang.

Feng Yun naturally knew the national conditions of the Yue Kingdom and knew what the Yue Kingdom could listen to.

Sure enough, in response to Feng Yun's words, Yuejun's eyes flashed, his sullen look disappeared, he put his hands on his hands and smiled and said, "Continue talking."

Feng Yun chuckled: "The king of Yue should have brought in the virtues of Emperor Yu. When Emperor Yu sent envoys to the barbarians, he could still see the virtues of the barbarians, so he abandoned the felt. At this time, the Yue Kingdom is the master, and other countries are coming to envoy. Why? No seats available?"

Yuejun's smile faded.

Feng Yun's words seem to say that the land of Yue is not a land of barbarians, but there is no place for them. Doesn't it mean that the behavior of Yuejun is worse than that of barbarians? How can he be called the descendant of Emperor Yu without the demeanor of Emperor Yu?

The king of Yue did not speak, and the scholar-bureaucrats of the surrounding Yue country did not dare to speak out.

The Yue Kingdom Sima Na Na kept looking at Feng Yun, and then when he saw Feng Yun's gaze, he couldn't help but shrink back and didn't dare to look.

He was so sharp-tongued that he shouldn't have spoken out.

"The virtues of Emperor Yu will naturally be inherited by our country, Yue." The Qi Refiner sitting on the right said.

The voice was low and cold, like cold rain falling on the neck at night.

He looked at Feng Yun and said, "But Emperor Yu was so virtuous, how can our descendants dare to compare with him?"

"Today is not to humiliate the princes of other countries... in fact, I want to imitate Emperor Yu and inspire the virtues of the tribes in the Nine Provinces."

The great divination eyes are like cold stars, please ask Yuejun for instructions.

Yuejun nodded with a smile.

But then he looked at Feng Yun and said: "The great court Situ is talented and knows the virtues of our ancestors, Emperor Yu. I should also treat each other with virtue."

"If we are unable to give you a good table for your envoys, then my country, Yue, will not sit down like our ancestors and will all stand up."

After saying this, Yuejun stood up, high on the stage, and looked directly down at his head.

The rest of the Yue scholar-bureaucrats all looked at each other, smiled, and stood up to watch.

In this way, it is even more oppressive than before.

"Remove the general table!" Yue Jun ordered loudly.

Soon, the soldiers entered the palace, and in the blink of an eye, all the seats were taken away.

When Dabu came forward, he saw a large cauldron being carried into the palace and placed under the Yuejun stage.

The great divination said: "Emperor Yu divided the nine states and used the nine tripods to stabilize the world as a country, and we share the same fate."

"Nowadays, various countries send their sons and envoys, and I want to imitate my ancestors more and more, and use this cauldron as a proof to share the joys and sorrows with all countries."

"Ah?" The princes from various countries were surprised. What was Yue doing? They had never cared so much about other countries before.

Dabu explained: "Often between tribes and countries, marriage is a way to establish eternal good relations. However, there are very few noble ladies in our country of Yue, so it is difficult to get married. Then there is another way to let the princes of other countries worship Yue as their ancestor." , after our country has accumulated a lot of wealth, we can be considered to be related to each other, and we are willing to be one body."

Abandon your clan and change your surname!

All the gentlemen were shocked.

In this way, they are not the princes of a certain country, but just ordinary Yue people.

I don't want to!

There was a look of reluctance in the eyes of all the young masters.

　Dayu's Not Sitting is an original short story based on the author's story about Dayu's lobbying of all ethnic groups in the Nine Provinces to form the Xia Dynasty. It mainly reflects Dayu's virtues (and also promotes the progress of the story), so don't go into detail.
