Everyone present coughed twice to ease the awkward atmosphere in the venue.
Compared to the cunning Yang Qingyuan, the witty Liu Wangshu, and the arrogant Zhuang Xiaomeng, Zhongzhi Railway Youxia is really an honest kid.
After a cup of tea, the master of the general cave also got down to business, "Our Twelve Cave has already entertained the guests. Shouldn't it be time for the guests to identify themselves?"
Although Twelve Cave is quite powerful and mysterious in southern Xinjiang, they really don't know the identities of the four Yang Qingyuan people.
The place where the Twelve Cave is located is like an isolated paradise. Although the news cannot be said to be blocked, it has absolutely nothing to do with Lingtong.
Yang Qingyuan was sitting at attention, "My official is Yang Qingyuan, the prince and tutor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the bachelor of Longtuge, and the third division of Kaifu Yitong."
The talks with Twelve Cave were not political affairs, but state affairs of the Zhou Dynasty. Yang Qingyuan also had to use his official identity.
Everyone in Twelve Cave knew that Yang Qingyuan's identity was extraordinary, but they did not expect that his background would be so big.
Crown Prince Taifu, Grand Bachelor of Longtuge, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, these three are all positions without real power.
The Crown Prince and Tutor are the assistant officers of the emperor. They have a lofty position with no fixed number of staff and no specific responsibilities. They are actually empty titles. They are either added to the rank or given as a gift (given when they are born, they are added, and when they die, they are given as a gift).
Longtuge Bachelor is the honorary title of Bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Only those who are highly virtuous and respected in the Hanlin Academy of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be given this official title.
The three divisions of Kaifu Yitong were scattered officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
There are nine ranks and twenty-nine levels of casual officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty. From the first rank, they are called Kaifu Yitong Sansi, from the second rank, they are called Tejin, from the second rank, they are called Guanglu Dafu, from the third rank, they are called Jinziguanglu Dafu, from the third rank, they are called Yinqingguang
Dr. Lu, the fourth rank above is called Zhengyi Dafu,...from the eighth rank he is called Chengfenglang, from the eighth rank below he is called Chengwulang, from the ninth rank above he is called Rulinlang, from the ninth rank below he is called Dengshilang.
Those who are above the ninth rank are called Wenlin Lang, and those who are below the ninth rank are called General Shilang.
Casual officials enjoy the salary of the imperial court and the treatment corresponding to their grade. They are recorded in the roster of the Ministry of Personnel and may be recruited into the imperial court as officials at any time.
Opening a government office means establishing an office in a designated place, and the parties involved have a fixed office space. The level of the government office to be opened and the level of honor guard to be used clearly define the three divisions.
Although people in Twelvedong may not necessarily know the official ranks of Dazhou, the three positions reported by Yang Qingyuan are not generally high.
Even if people in Twelve Cave are not familiar with it, they still know Yang Qingyuan's status.
"This is my official certificate and token." Yang Qingyuan did not show off his martial arts skills, but handed his official certificate and seal to the hands of the master of the Twelve Cave.
This is not a meeting between Jianghu gangs, but the diplomacy of the imperial court.
Seeing Yang Qingyuan like this, the chief of the cave became solemn. He stood up and performed the ancient southern Xinjiang ceremony, and then took Yang Qingyuan's official certificate and seal with both hands.
Although he didn't know what was going on in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the master of the cave still had an eye on it.
Regardless of whether this official certificate is true or false, Yang Qingyuan's jade Huang is not owned by the public.
What's more, Yang Qingyuan's reputation is not small in the martial arts world, and the martial arts here is not just the Central Plains martial arts.
Senior officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty are easy to impersonate, but it is not a simple matter to pretend to be a senior official of the Great Zhou Dynasty and Yang Qingyuan at the same time.
"Master Yang, why did you come to Southern Xinjiang this time?!"
Twelve Cave was originally very serious about Yang Qingyuan and his party, but now that Yang Qingyuan has revealed his identity, he is even more cautious.
What was originally a private exchange has turned into an exchange between Southern Xinjiang and Da Zhou.
Although many people in southern Xinjiang harassed the Zhou border, this does not represent the attitude of all southern Xinjiang people.
No matter how you put it, the Great Zhou Dynasty was the only super empire in the world. It once used the power of one country to crush the Western Region, Dongyi, Northern Border, and Southern Border on the ground at the same time.
"When I come here this time, I'm going to do it with courtesy first and then with soldiers."
Yang Qingyuan's words made Twelvedong's expression change.
The most important affairs of the country are sacrifice and military service.
When Yang Qingyuan mentioned the word "soldier", it showed that the person who came was not good.
"Master Yang, what do you mean by this?!" The face of the general cave master immediately turned ugly, "Although our southern border is located in a remote place, I have always admired the great Zhou Dynasty. Although some parts of the southern border are wild and untamed, and their behavior is
Raising and plundering is not our original intention! I don’t know when it will be worthwhile for the Zhou Dynasty to mobilize troops to punish Southern Xinjiang?!"
Is Twelve Cave afraid of the imperial court?! Afraid! Aren’t you afraid too?
He was not afraid of the Great Zhou court, but they were afraid of becoming enemies of the Great Zhou court for no reason.
Yang Qingyuan smiled contemptuously, "The Lord of the General Cave said something wrong. It's not that the Great Zhou Dynasty wants to use troops against Southern Xinjiang, but that Southern Xinjiang wants to use troops against Great Zhou Dynasty!"
"..."
Yang Qingyuan's words made the Twelve Cave Masters subconsciously stunned.
Then the head of the cave opened his mouth and said, "Master Yang, if the people from the 72nd Cave in Southern Xinjiang try to harass us, we can't do anything about it. If Dazhou wants to deal with these frogs in the well who don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, even if they do it themselves, why are they involved in Nanjiang?"
Other people in Xinjiang.”
Before this, the forces in southern Xinjiang invaded the Great Zhou Dynasty, and many people even joined forces to harass the Great Zhou border and fight against the Shenwu Army.
But this kind of thing is usually solved by the Zhou Dynasty. I will hit whoever hits me, and it will not affect the ordinary people in southern Xinjiang and their twelve caves.
After all, these soldiers and horses are really not a big trouble to the Shenwu Army.
Even when most of the people in the Seventy-two Caves united to fight against the Zhou Dynasty, it did not attract the Zhou Dynasty court to come to accuse them. I don’t know when this time it made the Zhou court angry.
"Master Yang, this Southern Xinjiang has been in chaos since the Barbarian King line fell apart. There has never been a unified force. Even if someone offends the Celestial Empire, it is their own fault. What does it have to do with the rest of Southern Xinjiang?!"
The Lord of the General Cave tried his best to argue that the national power of Dazhou was infinitely greater than that of Southern Xinjiang. If Dazhou was really angry and determined to attack Southern Xinjiang on a large scale, it would be a huge disaster for Southern Xinjiang.
The expansion of territory has always been the supreme achievement of kings and ministers. The reason why the Great Zhou Dynasty was not interested in rivals in southern Xinjiang was simply because this place was a barren land filled with miasma and poisonous insects, and the Great Zhou Dynasty had no interest in it.
Therefore, strategically, the Shenwu Army adopted a defensive posture.
But if Zhou Dynasty takes the initiative to launch an attack, even if Southern Xinjiang can really defend it, it will pay a huge price.
Those poisonous miasma and fog look terrible, but if the day comes when the Great Zhou Dynasty really launches troops, these things will definitely work hard to solve them.
The land of the Central Plains is full of outstanding people, and there are countless geniuses. Not to mention other things, even those national experts who often come to the mountains of the Miao border to collect medicines, most of them have the method of detoxifying and breaking the miasma.
So for Twelve Cave, if everyone can make a quarrel, try not to do it. It will be detrimental to both parties, but it will be even more detrimental to southern Xinjiang.
Yang Qingyuan was not surprised when he saw Twelvedong's behavior of blaming the blame, and just asked lightly.
"Does the Temple of Divine Weapons and Monsters have nothing to do with Twelve Cave?!"
