fake prince

Chapter 627
Many people saw this scene, whispering and discussing on the side of the road.

"What's going on here? With so many people, could it be that some minister was rewarded with something?"

"But this reward is too much, and it looks like calligraphy and painting. I have never heard that the emperor rewarded his subjects. He would reward so many calligraphy and painting at once."

"Strange, this is really a strange thing!"

Because the movement was too loud, it spread to the ears of the kings and senior officials in the capital in a short while.

Shu Palace
Eunuch Zhao and his party were still on the way, and the King of Shu had asked people to find out everything clearly. As a son, he quickly understood the emperor's thoughts.

He smiled and said to the staff sitting below: "My father is very wise (cunning). The Daihou has always used the painting of thousands of blessings as an excuse to communicate with officials. Now he rewards hundreds of calligraphy and paintings. No matter what, the research is important. Enough."

"Dai Hou has no excuses now, what will he do?"

"What the prince said, unless he really stays at home obediently, no matter how he acts, a hypocrite will not escape." An aide also smiled and said: "But if Daihou really has no ambitions and is pure filial piety... ... Anyway, I don't believe it."

They have also paid a lot of attention to this marquis along the way. Judging from his past actions, everything is not something an honest person can do.

It is said that the eyebrows and eyes of the king of Shu are very similar to the emperor when he was young, so this is very favored. At this time, he looks very easy-going and agrees with him.

"You're right. My good nephew is not an honest person. He's really an honest person. I'm afraid he won't be able to make it to today."

His good father didn't let Su Zi be naturalized and become Ji Zizong because he thought of the prince.It's not that Su Ziji can be used, but it can be used as a pawn, and he may have died outside long ago.

Thinking of his nephew's expression when he received the reward from his father, the king of Shu couldn't help being curious, and wanted to see the scene, but his reason made him give up this idea, and just ordered people: "You go to the Daihou's mansion Go to the door and see what's going on."

"Yes!" The man withdrew, and another servant reported at this time: "My lord, someone outside the mansion asked to see him. He said he was from Ningguo in the southern border, and wanted to offer you a gift."

"Ningguo in Southern Xinjiang?" The King of Shu was startled when he heard this, and looked at several staff members: "What kind of relationship has the mansion had with Ningguo in Southern Xinjiang?"

A look of contempt flashed in the eyes of one of the staff: "My lord, there are as many small countries in southern Xinjiang as a cow's hair, and they are damp and full of insects. How can people from this kind of place have contact with the house?"

"Besides, southern Xinjiang was originally reclaimed by the former Wei Dynasty, but it was only a province. It is said that twenty or thirty small countries were split. Dare to be king.”

King Shu nodded: "I think so."

He didn't feel that the aide's words were mean. This small country is actually a person from a county. To the king of Shu, even ordinary people in Dazheng are inferior. In his opinion, they are all barbarians.

Just as he was about to wave his hand to let the servant who reported the report back, he suddenly changed his focus and ordered: "Forget it, you go and let this envoy from Southern Border come in. The king is a little curious. He is here to give gifts this evening, so he doesn't know how to behave. What idea."

Since there is no way to watch the excitement of my nephew, let's use another way to entertain myself.

"Yes!" The servant immediately responded and let the person at the door come in.

The king of Shu was in a good mood, and said to the staff present: "You don't have to back down, stay and open your eyes, and see what it looks like when the envoy of this small country comes to give gifts."

In less than half a stick of incense, the people who came to visit were led to the meeting place of the king of Shu. Following the cold reminder from the servants of the palace, a tall and powerful middle-aged man with a beard came in from the outside. .

As soon as he came in, he gave a weird salute, and spoke the half-baked Dazheng official dialect: "I am Abra, the envoy of Ningguo, and I have met Dazheng's honorable King Shu!"

The hall that was suddenly silent when he entered, then seemed to come alive. The people sitting on both sides whispered to each other, and looked at the Ningguo envoy with strange and sarcasm expressions.

The king of Shu, who was sitting in the upper seat, showed a trace of contempt.

Sure enough, as he expected, this southern border is a land of barbarians, and even the envoys who came to Dazheng wore animal skins. How dare such a barbaric land be called a country?
Simply ridiculous!
But he was also curious, wondering why this envoy from the Ning Kingdom came to visit him suddenly, so he temporarily suppressed the sarcasm and contempt, and asked in a deep voice: "Ah, it turned out to be the envoy from the Ning Kingdom. I don't know why you came to see the king so late. Why?"

It is said that it is a gift, so what kind of gift can such a barbaric land send?
The envoy of Ningguo hurriedly said: "I am here to offer local products and princesses to His Royal Highness Shu. Our Ningguo sincerely wants to make friends with His Royal Highness, and send the princess to the mansion for marriage. According to the custom of our Ningguo, it is after dusk. , I don’t know if I’ve disturbed His Royal Highness the King of Shu?”

"Excuse me, but I didn't bother." A trace of disgust flashed in King Shu's eyes, and he frowned: "But whether you are giving this gift to my satisfaction, I need to take a look at it first, don't you think so? "

He said the last sentence to the staff around him, and the staff who were narrow-minded immediately responded with a smile: "Yes! This envoy of Ningguo, please hurry up and present the gift for our prince, so that we can have a good meal too. Blessed eyes! Presumably the princess of your country must be as beautiful as a fairy?"

Most of the people also laughed. Obviously, in their eyes, the envoy of the Ning Kingdom from southern Xinjiang was just a buffoon for their entertainment, and they did not regard him as an envoy of a country at all.

Thinking about it, a "savage" wearing animal skins suddenly came to a place like the Shu Palace in the Zheng Dynasty and told them that he was an envoy from the Ning Kingdom and wanted to offer gifts to the Shu King on behalf of the Ning Kingdom.

But there were also one or two staff members who frowned slightly. Although they also looked down on this kind of people from the barbarian land, the King of Shu's behavior of making fun of him still made them feel inappropriate.

However, the two of them didn't get ahead because of this, they just kept silent and just watched from the sidelines.

Seeing that most of the people in the hall were smiling, the Ningguo envoy felt relieved, and immediately said: "My Ningguo specialties and the princess are all outside the gate of the mansion, and are guarded by a few warriors who came with me. Since the prince is willing to accept , just ask someone to tell them!"

"Go! Invite the princess of Ningguo and the warriors to come in!" King Shu said to the servants standing outside the hall, holding back a smile.

Immediately, servants responded and went to invite people. After a while, two men also wearing animal skins came in with two baskets on their backs. They put the two big baskets on the ground and pulled off the red covering Cloth, the king of Shu glanced at it from a distance, and found that it seemed to be some local products.

Originally thought that this local product was just an excuse for the messenger, a synonym for gold and silver or other things, but it turned out to be two baskets of special products, how ridiculous is this?

He is a majestic king of Shu, what else can he lack?

Even if it was a rare specialty, for the king of Shu, bringing it in such a crude basket would only make him feel insulted.

Fortunately, the girl who came in later made the King of Shu's eyes rest on her for a moment.
