【388】Envoy
Xiaocao seemed to have seen Wei Tingyu's thoughts, "No matter what, this is the imperial city for praying to the emperor."
Wei Tingyu nodded, Qi Chao is not a small country. On the contrary, in terms of comprehensive national strength, it ranks first, and the biggest threat is Liujia. But in fact, with the Dingbei Army guarding it, Liujia can hardly advance even an inch. In comparison,
Yan, the relationship between Xichi and Qi Chao seems to be good. Of course, this is only on the surface. No matter what the situation is, here, it is not anyone else's turn to be arrogant.
This matter has nothing to do with them for the time being, and it will have no impact on the "warming banquet" at the Princess Mansion.
Wenren Taibo would probably be a little angry. He was already a little unhappy when he asked them to start the court early. However, who asked Emperor Xuanren to be born in the first month, and Xichi is far away, just in case, it doesn't matter if it is earlier.
, the dissatisfaction was over for a while, but now, I actually didn't follow the rules and messed up the original arrangement. I was supposed to be relaxed and happy, but I suddenly "worked overtime". No matter who or where I encountered this kind of thing,
Not even happy.
Wenren Taibo left Princess An's Mansion dressed in casual clothes and had no intention of going back to change into official uniforms. Even though Wenren's home was not far from Princess An's Mansion, of course, he would not be the only one to greet the envoys, but also people from the Ministry of Rites.
There are no other officials, as well as the adults of Honglu Temple. Originally, there were royal princes among the other party's personnel. Why should we send someone of equal magnitude to greet them? To be more serious, Prince Duan came forward.
most suitable.
Prince Duan's brothers were more interested in taking over this task. Unfortunately, I don't know if the approach of the Xichi mission also angered Emperor Xuanren. He had no such idea at all, so he just sent a few ministers and that was it.
Uncle Wenren Taibo was casual, but the others did not dare to be so casual. He hurriedly changed his clothes and rushed over. Uncle Wenren Taibo was calm and calm, "My lords, there is no need to be anxious, it is still early at this time."
The group of people looked at each other in confusion. Does this mean that more people from Xichi will be left out? However, Wenren Taibo is not only the acting minister of the Ministry of Rites, but also the father of Princess Anguo. He is also in the heart of the emperor, so naturally they dare not say anything.
Wenren Taibo brought someone with him and picked up Xichi's people at the city gate. He said things like "Sorry for being late and waiting for so long", but it was clear that he didn't have much sincerity, which made people who were already waiting impatiently.
Xichi was even more angry, "Is this the way to treat guests of Qi Dynasty? Our prince is here in person, and he just sends two officials to send us away? It's simply unreasonable." He casually touched his waist, but it was empty.
The person who spoke was obviously a military commander or the like. He was tall, burly, and had a bad temper. He should have always drawn his sword. However, since he was "sneaking away" and didn't want to be discovered, he couldn't carry something as obvious as a sword with him.
Of course, the accent was a bit wrong, but Wenren Taibo didn't need anyone from Honglu Temple to speak, and he actually understood eighty-nine points of it. He smiled and twitched the corner of his mouth, "There are natural ways to treat different guests.
A different approach to hospitality.”
"you……"
The leading man smiled and stretched out his hand to stop the person, "This time it's my fault, please give me some thanks. I originally admired the customs of Qi Dynasty and wanted to experience it in private, so I didn't think much about it.
, now it seems that it has caused trouble to your country. When I see His Majesty Emperor Xuanren, I will definitely apologize to him."
"Your Majesty, you're welcome. - Your Majesty, you are so tired from traveling and traveling, why don't you go to the post house to rest first?"
"That's fine."
On the way, the prince seemed to have nothing to do. He seemed not to feel Qi Chao's neglect at all. He spoke warmly to Wenren Taibo, lamenting the excitement and prosperity of Qi Chao's imperial city, and said that he had encountered Qi Chao before.
People who have been to the Qi Dynasty have heard all kinds of stories about him, so they have been fascinated by the Qi Dynasty since they were young. This time to wish Emperor Xuanren a long life, he spent all his efforts to win over his father.
"It's no wonder that Prince Qi Chao's official words are so good. If I didn't know, I would have thought you had stayed in Qi Chao for a long time." Hearer Taibo's words seemed to have a profound meaning, and he seemed to be just stating something.
fact.
The prince of Xichi naturally listened as the latter, and he naturally accepted the words.
Then the Taoist scholar Tai Bo was dressed in casual clothes, but he was also solemn, "... Your Excellency was a guest outside before? If so, it is indeed my fault this time, disturbing your elegant enjoyment."
Wenren Taibo didn't hesitate and nodded directly, "I am going to Princess Anguo to open a palace and hold a banquet today."
"Is it such a coincidence? Can I, your Excellency, come to the door together and apologize to the princess of your country?" He looked so sincere that it was difficult to refuse.
As for Taibo, he did not refuse. Originally, it was not a shameful thing. Judging from the emperor's attitude, he probably would not see anyone before the start of the court. Apart from that, it was not easy to do too much.
However, he is the prince of Xichi after all. Although Xichi is not as powerful as Qi Chao, his national power cannot be underestimated.
So I didn’t go to the inn, but went directly to Princess Anguo’s Mansion.
Xiaocao over there has already received the news, and of course he has no unnecessary emotions. He just treats them as multiple guests. Even the princes of other countries are just a little special at most, and the etiquette is enough.
And at the gate, I met Xie Shangshu, who probably came late because he had something to do, and this time, Mr. Xie was actually with his father. I have to say, where did Mr. Xie really go?
