078: You are jealous(1/2)
Of course, this only represents the Shengjing before. The Shengjing city is under construction. I believe that the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty will soon emit a brilliant light.
"That's true." Xie Lian looked at him with a smile, "Our Great Zhou is like the common people everywhere on the streets, and the etiquette of the postmaster may seem negligent, but he did not make any big mistakes after all."
"People, how others do it is someone else's business. As long as we do not touch our dignity, we can laugh it off. Besides, this is still someone else's territory. We came to celebrate the birthday of the Western Chu emperor this time, and we would never come to the downtown area."
"Okay, then listen to the emperor's brother." Xie Zhou nodded in a muffled voice.
He actually didn't care about these things. When he was with the young master in the past, he would be treated inappropriately when he went out alone. What he felt sorry for was Xie Lian.
"Is His Highness Jing of the Great Zhou living here?" A loud voice came in from outside the door.
Soon, a tall and mighty man walked in with a swagger, turned his palm inward with one hand, and made a profit for Xie Lian.
Xie Lian had difficulty in legs and feet, so he sat in a wheelchair and bowed to the other party, "Is it the envoy of Mo Nan?"
"I am the third prince of Monan. I heard that the person living next door is His Highness Jing of the Great Zhou. As a neighbor, I came to say hello to him." Although the other party looked like a rude person, his actions were quite rough, at least he would not be disgusting.
"The third prince is polite, is the third prince who leads this time?"
"It's me, both of them are in the main seats. I don't care about that. I just came out to take a look at the prosperity of Western Chu." The other party's answer was very special, "By the way, my name is Mosang. Just call me my name directly. Don't let the third prince and the third prince, it sounds so terrible."
Xie Lian maintained the most basic smile, but Xie Zhou was so happy that he couldn't hold back his smile.
Mosang glanced at Xie Zhou and saw the child turning his head away, which made him laugh.
"Hahaha, this guy looks interesting."
"This is my younger brother, Xie Zhou." Xie Lian introduced him.
"Oh, it's also a prince, it's rude." Mosan sat in a chair, picked up the tea bowl, and drank the tea in the cup. "I've been here for several days. On the other side, the king of Wei is living. They look down on me and have no rules, and I look down on them as hypocritical."
The southern desert is a country on the grassland. Although it covers a large area of not small, it has a total area of three or four large circumferences, but it cannot withstand a small population, with a total population of about eight or nine hundred thousand. The two countries can be considered one in the south and one in the north, with one in the middle separated by Beiliang.
Xie Lian knew that Monan produced cattle, sheep and horses, and they also survived this. He wanted to negotiate the next business, but it was really difficult to handle the long transportation route.
"The imperial power struggle in Mo Nan has always been cruel, the third prince..." Seeing Mo Sang staring at him, Xie Lian changed his words, "I think Mo Sang, you are generous and generous. If you can become the king of Mo Nan, it will be a good thing for the people of Mo Nan that benefit the people. Why should you withdraw from the power struggle?"
After hearing this, Mosang couldn't help but sigh, which was rare to make people feel a little inconsistent.
"You should know the rules of my Monan, the father died and the son succeeded him, and the father's wife inherited."
"I know this." Although Xie Lian thought this custom was unacceptable, but different countries were different, and he would not express his own opinions on this.
Mosang nodded and continued, "I am a woman. My woman is a jealous person. The key is that I can't beat her. Her parents are the patriarchs of the largest tribe in Monan. It would be difficult for me to take the position of the king."
"Puff..." Xie Zhou couldn't help but laughed.
Mosang didn't care about this, but he laughed happily, "It's boring to be a king. It's good to be a king if you want anyone to be a king. You don't have to worry about food or drink, or fight for power and profit. The two brothers above are also fighting to make friends with me. No matter who they are the king in the future, I won't be wronged anyway."
"Mosang can be regarded as a big-minded and wise man." Xie Lian praised.
"Don't praise me, I really think it's boring to be the king and I'm too worried." Mo Sang waved his hand, and he didn't feel embarrassed even if he was praised.
Even though the two had different personalities, they soon had a similar conversation.
Mosang invited Xie Lian to go to their Monan when he had time, and invited him to eat barbecue and horse milk wine. Xie Lian also invited Mosang to visit the Great Zhou and see different scenery.
In mid-July, the entrance examination for Dazhou is coming.
Xie Lang did not visit the scene in person, and everything was handed over to the officials in the court.
Nearly 700 people came to take the entrance examination this time, all of whom were young talents from Dazhou, and were no more than 30 years old.
Yang Zhengning is a scholar. There are also scholars who took the exam this time. There are not many, only one-fifth of them, and the rest are from Juren.
Not to mention, there are quite a few Juren from the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There are three pages in the test paper. At the beginning, it is filled in with the blanks. There is a sentence in it and you can fill in the spare part.
The exam was held at the same time in two universities. Each examination room had a court official on-site invigilator. Because the scene was clear at a glance, anyone could see clearly when they talked and cheated, and there was no need for two people to be together.
The exam time is three hours. If you are hungry at noon, you have to hold on. You will definitely not let you leave the exam room during the exam, so as not to exchange answers with each other in the middle, which will affect the fairness of the exam.
The most time-consuming article is the following propositional article. This time the proposition is the word "Tianxia", which is written by Xie Lang.
The Western Chu Palace is now on the birthday of the new emperor of Western Chu.
Xie Lian was pushed by Xie Zhou, and with Mo Sang, slowly walked into the palace with the crowd.
During the past few days of living in Yanjing, no one came to cause trouble for Xie Lian, and no one came to make friends with each other. The envoys of the strong country looked down on the Great Zhou, and ordinary families could not make it difficult to curry favor with him. After all, there was no benefit.
The most important thing is that the Great Zhou is sandwiched among three powerful countries. In the eyes of many people, it is the fish on the chopping board. If it weren't for the three-legged tripod, the Great Zhou would have been swallowed up long ago.
But because of this, the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty was even more difficult than that of other countries. The emperors of many countries laughed at the eyes of the ancestors of the Great Zhou Dynasty and could actually choose such a deadly place to build a country.
Their seats were close to the hall gate, and at the front were envoys from Nanli and Beiliang.
As a great country of equal status, it is absolutely impossible for their emperor to come to Western Chu. If someone makes dumplings here, he will cry without any place.
Those small countries don’t care. The three powerful countries will not easily launch wars against small neighboring countries. There are many things involved in this, which can be said to have a single blow to the whole body.
"Hey, let's sit here. I don't want to deal with those people. One is more sophisticated. I'm a big man like me, but I can't play with them." Mo Sang has been in and out with Xie Lian these days. The two of them have been traveling to Yanjing and have also seen the customs and customs here, which is an eye-opener.
Xie Lian shook his head and laughed. Mo Sang is not stupid, but he is still a smart person and a wise person.
He also lives in this open mind. He lives a life of freedom and freedom, and generally does not worry about some things.
"Your Majesty is here, the Empress is here!" Outside the hall, the loud voice of the inner supervisor sounded, and the words shouted with a pinched voice made people feel itchy.
The next moment, the Western Chu emperor Chu Ze and the Empress stepped into the hall.
The envoys and ministers who came to congratulate each other stood up to greet them, and the scene was grand and grand.
The two of them were waiting for the seat at the top, and everyone returned to their positions one after another.
A big country has its own style. Even if they look down on those small countries, at least their words and deeds will not be revealed.
After a long talk, Chu Ze spoke with the shouts of the inner supervisor, the zither in the hall sang, and the dancer swayed, and everyone relaxed for a moment.
Xie Zhou sat obediently beside Xie Lian. He didn't say much, just ate on his own with chopsticks.
The meals on the Wanshou Festival were made by the chefs of the Western Chu Royal Kitchen for their hard work. Needless to say, each bite can make you feel aftertaste.
He himself is a child who does not know how to conspire and tricks to look at people's faces. When he tastes delicious food, he only feels that the food in front of him is a bit delicious.
When Xie Lian was chatting with Mo Sang beside him, he occasionally paid attention to Xie Zhou. When he saw which dish he especially liked, he would give him his own portion, which could also bring Xie Zhou's admiring eyes, which made Xie Lian laugh.
After drinking for three rounds, the envoy of Northern Liang, who was in charge of the leader, came out and bowed, "Your Majesty, I have conferred the entrustment of Your Majesty Northern Liang, and come to congratulate Your Majesty on your longevity and longevity and eternal prosperity. In addition, Your Majesty, the Emperor of Our Country, has prepared you a generous gift, please accept it with a smile."
Then, he patted his hands twice, and four people carried a large box inside. Not to mention what was inside the box, just the various gems inlaid outside the wooden box in front of him were enough to make people praise it.
Chu Ze was very happy on his face, but he didn't agree.
What kind of blessings and longevity lasts, and the country is forever.
They all knew each other and wanted each other to die quickly, and even hoped that their country could produce a foolish monarch so that when the public was in agitation, they could fight and take down the other's territory.
But superficial skills are also their compulsory course.
Chu Ze is the legitimate crown prince of Western Chu. He was enthroned when he was just one month old. However, in the past twenty years, other princes have been digging pits and stuttering him behind his back. Fortunately, the people around him are cautious and effective, otherwise it would be hard to say whether he can do it in this position.
After ascending the throne, he did not immediately take down his brothers, which was to avoid leaving any handle for the people of the world.
But later he had made a series of plans and prepared until the brothers got into trouble and then he caught all the people in one go to prevent future troubles.
When the box was opened, many people were exclaiming in surprise. There was a golden Buddha in the box, with his eyes closed, his hands folded, and his eyes kindly. Judging from the quality and workmanship, it must have been written by the master.
Western Chu is the most popular country in Buddhism. Emperors of all dynasties ascended the throne, and the first thing they did was to repair temples and to build a tomb for themselves.
No matter how annoying the envoys of Northern Liang were, at least the congratulations were satisfied with the Emperor Chu.
Subsequently, other envoys began to offer gifts, most of which were precious jades and the like. Mosang brought precious BMWs raised in Monan and rare Genting Snow Lotus. The scene completely became a competition, and it depends on who brought out the gifts that were expensive.
When it was Dazhou's turn, Xie Zhou knew that his mission was coming.
He hugged Xie Lian in a wheelchair and pushed him into the middle.
"The Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which was born on behalf of Xie Lian, wishes His Majesty the Emperor of Chu a long life and a peaceful and prosperous country." Xie Lian finished his congratulations and said, "Please allow me to present the congratulations."
"Accurate!" Emperor Chu nodded.
He naturally knew the Empress of the Great Zhou, and also knew the number one figure of Empress Dowager Yao. After all, the Yao clan's family caused the chaos of the Great Zhou disaster. They all knew a little about it. However, they were too lazy to interact with the Great Zhou in the past two years. They were destined to be a small country that was not inconsistent. They could even make the public resentment themselves. Besides, such a little bit is almost the same as one of their prefectures, and the three surrounding powers really don't like it.
If you have this idea, it is better to imagine how to unite Nanli to divide Northern Liang, or how to combine Northern Liang to divide Southern Liang.
Soon, the bicycle was pushed into the hall.
Everyone looked at the iron rack in front of them and found it strange no matter how they looked at it, and they didn't know what it was for.
Compared to the precious treasures they offered, the iron rack in front of them is simply useless.
"What is this?" The Empress, who was sitting in the upper head, looked at Emperor Chu and asked with a smile.
"Back to the Queen, this thing is called a bicycle, which is a transportation tool developed by His Majesty the Queen of Our country." Xie Lian explained.
"Tools of transportation? How to transport?" asked Emperor Chu.
Xie Lian smiled slightly and said to Xie Zhou: "Show it to His Majesty the Emperor Chu and the Empress."
"Yes, the emperor." Xie Zhou nodded with a smile.
When the people around him heard this, they realized Xie Lian's identity, which turned out to be the Royal Family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
But judging from his appearance, it was obvious that he was a cripple.
