After 0.01 seconds of consideration, Liu Ziguang decided to accept this romantic encounter given by God. After all, this kind of romantic encounter in a foreign country is not something ordinary people can resist, and the other person not only has a first-class figure and appearance, but is also very likely to be a golden girl.
Princess, this temptation is irresistible. Liu Ziguang is just a rough man who has not received a systematic Confucian education. Of course he has no resistance to this kind of one-night stand.
So things happened naturally. On the silent Batyan Mountain, there was only the sound of gurgling water and the faint moan of a girl... Even the moon in the sky shyly pulled a cloud as a veil, and was embarrassed to watch what happened next.
The fragrant things.
…
The tropical sun rose very early. When Liu Ziguang opened his eyes, dawn had broken in the east. The beauty in his arms had disappeared. He got up from the grass suspiciously, only to see that his clothes had been washed and hung aside.
The branches had long since dried up. But Dugu Wen couldn't find them.
What happened last night was still fresh in my memory. After a passionate intercourse, Dugu Wen said a lot of strange things, to the effect that she had had enough of her current life and wanted to leave home and travel to Song Dynasty. She also asked Liu Ziguang if he could take her with him.
After flying far away, Liu Ziguang said to himself that you are not afraid of a golden princess or a princess. I am still afraid of a bird. Isn't it just a pair of chopsticks to bring home? As a noble prince, I still have this kind of worry.
But the person disappeared in the blink of an eye. Are the people in Song Dynasty so open-minded as to have a one-night stand? People in Song Dynasty are really open-minded. After all, they are people from tropical countries. The climate shapes their character. Liu Ziguang sighed. According to modern people's thinking, he and
What happened between Dugu Wen can only be regarded as a one-night stand. I don't know what the other party thought. Since Dugu Wen left quietly, Liu Ziguang stopped blowing wind on the mountain, stretched himself, put on his clothes and went down the mountain.
Xinbian Jingcheng was already very busy in the early morning. Vehicles carrying fruits, vegetables and fish for the morning market were heading into the city. People who got up early to go to work were heading out of the city. Liu Ziguang followed a donkey cart delivering mangoes into the city gate. Fei
It took a while to enter the hotel. The accompanying officials, who were scratching their heads in anxiety, calmed down a little when they saw the commander come back. Naturally, his subordinates would not ask Shangguan where he went to play at night. They just reported that the atmosphere was tense last night.
A large number of people came out with royal equipment to search, which made them nervous for a long time, thinking that the marshal's night visit to the palace had caused trouble.
Liu Ziguang smiled noncommittally and changed the subject: "Where is my breakfast?"
Liu Ziguang's breakfast has been prepared, including preserved egg and lean meat porridge, poached eggs, mango juice, grilled fish, pineapple rice, etc. The old man had just tied a white napkin to prepare for the meal, when suddenly there was the sound of someone sniffing behind his ear.
When he turned around, he saw Liu Maomao with an angry look on his face.
Liu Maomao's keen sense of smell realized that his toys had been touched by others, so he became furious and overturned Liu Ziguang's breakfast table, and chased the guilty Liu Ziguang into the house and scratched him wildly. His subordinates did not dare to stop him.
, had no choice but to hide far away.
Half an hour later, Liu Ziguang appeared again. He had already changed into a python robe and black gauze, and walked out swaggeringly. He looked very tidy. Liu Xiaomao also calmed down and probably continued to sleep in the air-conditioned room. Everyone was greatly admired. Marshal
How did you coax the moody "Miss"? No one knows, and no one dares to ask. Only the person involved, Liu Ziguang, knew in his heart that his back was scratched to pieces by the kitten's claws, and he could only sleep on his stomach today. Who said he was lying on his body?
The taste of Dugu Wen was left behind. I don’t know how many nice things I said and how many delicious and fun things I promised to coax Liu Mao Mao into stopping making trouble.
There are still a lot of serious things to do today. First, we have to go to the palace to see the Emperor of Lu Song Dynasty, and then we have to discuss military matters with the big guys in the Privy Council. Time is very tight. Lu Song State is a country with a constitutional monarchy. The emperor is just a symbol and has great power.
All were in the hands of the Pingzhang Army and the Upper and Lower Houses. The emperor lived in the palace, and the Senate allocated a huge amount of special funds every year to support all expenses, including thousands of eunuchs and maids, 500 elite military equipment, and
Three Thousand Imperial Guards. Whenever there are major events related to the national economy and people's livelihood, such as the visit of foreign ministers, worshiping heaven and ancestors to pray for a good harvest and good weather, going to the altar to pay homage to generals, and issuing imperial edicts to appoint officials, the emperor still has to make an appearance.
Under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty, Liu Ziguang took a carriage to the entrance of the palace, then dismounted and walked, passed through the heavily guarded gate, and entered the exquisite and gorgeous Forbidden City. The buildings were not in accordance with the central regulations like the Nanjing Imperial Palace.
The axis layout is a very casual design. In addition to being solemn and elegant, what is more prominent is tranquility and peace. The climate in the Song Dynasty is hot, and there are fountains everywhere in the palace. Each fountain forms a local microclimate, which feels cooler than outside.
many.
The meeting of foreign envoys is not a big event, so the ceremony is not held in the largest palace, the Daqing Hall, but in the Wende Hall, which is similar to the emperor's study. This is a palace shaded by green trees, with curved ridges and eaves. It is elegant.
Exquisite, the courtyard in front of the palace is not big, just a lawn full of green grass. If it were in Beijing, it would definitely be a large square with stone paving and numerous guards. However, there are basically no people wearing armor here.
There are at most a few people wearing swords and armed with royal weapons.
The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette asked Liu Ziguang to wait under Wen De's door, and then made the announcement according to the rules. The handsome young eunuch trotted into the palace. Not long after, the female official's voice came from the palace: "Xuan, the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, bestowed with Jinshi status."
The right commander of the Fifth Military Governor's Office, Wuyingdian University Scholar, Prince Shaobao, the governor of the four southeastern provinces, is temporarily acting as the governor of Taiwan. Still the admiral of Nanchang leads the imperial guard and walks the Forbidden Road. The hereditary first-class Zhenwu Hou Liu Ziguang comes to see him."
The Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty were brothers. According to etiquette, Liu Ziguang had to pay homage to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Naturally, Liu Ziguang did not dare to make such an important diplomatic occasion. He took two steps forward, lifted his python robe, knelt on a futon in the yard, and said loudly:
"Foreign Minister Liu Ziguang pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. Long live, long live, long live." The door of the palace is open, with a curtain made of pearls hanging on it. There is a splendid platform deep in the hall, and there are
There was a pearl curtain, and behind these two curtains the emperor sat.
The layout of the Lusong Palace was very small. Although he was kneeling in the courtyard, the distance was not very far. According to etiquette, Liu Ziguang kept his head down and did not dare to look around, so he did not know what was going on in the palace.
According to the procedures set out by the Ministry of Rites in advance, after kowtowing, the emperor would make him lie flat, give him a seat, and ask a few friendly questions. Liu Ziguang replied with a few pleasantries, and then Liu Ziguang presented the Emperor of Ming Dynasty to him.
The Emperor of the Song Dynasty gave a gift to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty gave a gift in return. Once the ceremony was over, Liu Ziguang could leave the palace and go to the Privy Council to discuss serious matters.
But today is very strange. The emperor has not allowed Liu Ziguang to stand up for a long time. Liu Ziguang had to recite the lines again, "Long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live, long live."
He said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has decreed that envoys from the Xuanming Kingdom should come to the palace to offer seats and tea."
This specification was extraordinary and exceeded the scope set by the Ministry of Rites. However, since the emperor had spoken, it was difficult for others to object, so Liu Ziguang stood up and respectfully climbed the steps and entered the Hall of Wende under the guidance of a little Huang.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites had no choice but to wait outside the palace, talking quietly: "What happened to the officials today?"
The Hall of Wende is filled with fragrance. Eight palace maids are standing on both sides holding incense burners. Two ceiling fans with agarwood paddles are hanging from the ceiling, fanning slowly. The floor is paved with gold bricks, and phoenixes are carved on the beams.
, Liu Ziguang was arranged to sit down on an embroidered pier, and looked up. On the throne, behind the bead curtain, was His Majesty the Emperor who was currently traveling in the Song Dynasty. Through the swaying curtain, the emperor's face could be seen clearly. It was not the same as last night.
Who is Dugu Wen that he is trying to overwhelm?
Liu Ziguang took a breath. This joke was too big. After a long time, he actually put the emperor who was a resident of Song Dynasty on the throne. No, he took a closer look to see if he had made a mistake. He looked over again and saw that the person on the throne was wearing clothes.
She wore a dragon robe, a crown, and makeup on her face, but it was definitely Dugu Wen, because there was still a bruise on her neck that Liu Ziguang had sucked out last night, and it was still vaguely visible even though it was covered up.
When Liu Ziguang was observing the emperor, the queen was also observing him. Their eyes met, but Dugu Wen's fair face showed no expression, as if she didn't recognize Liu Ziguang at all. She said slowly: "Your Majesty, how is the dragon body of Emperor Ming?"
"My Emperor is in good health. Thank you for your concern. Foreign Minister, here is a gift list. It is a national gift from my emperor. Please accept it with your Majesty's approval." As he said this, Liu Ziguang took out the gift list from his sleeve and asked the maid to present it. The Queen took it and read it.
The female officer was asked to give Liu Ziguang a gift list that had been prepared in return. The two familiar people pretended not to know each other and went through the procedures prescribed by the Ministry of Etiquette.
After exchanging gifts, the atmosphere became awkward again. Neither of them spoke, Liu Ziguang didn't say goodbye, and the Queen didn't say a word. They were just in a silent stalemate. Liu Ziguang suddenly understood why she left silently after sobering up. Because of her
Her status is too special. As the spiritual leader of the people living in the Song Dynasty, she has almost no freedom. She can never choose a husband as she pleases. Everything must serve politics and the dignity of the country living in the Song Dynasty.
Understand the true identity of the other party, and also understand that this marriage will not be fruitful after all. If Liu Ziguang is really a small Mingjun Baihu, or Dugu Wen, who should be called Zhao Wen now, is really an ordinary person.
Daughters of ministers, both of them have the possibility to continue, but one is the empress of the Song Dynasty and the other is an important minister of the Ming Dynasty. Both have heavy responsibilities and cannot put down their own responsibilities and follow the other to fly away.
After the play was over, the Queen still didn't say anything. A female official next to her coughed suggestively. The Queen slowly raised her head and said, "Your Majesty has some state affairs to discuss, so I won't keep you here."
Liu Ziguang looked up, and there seemed to be a faint light flashing in the queen's eyes behind the bead curtain. But at this moment, he could not say anything. He could only take a deep breath, knelt down and saluted again: "Foreign ministers, please retire."
Even the princesses and empresses are not spared. The next one should probably be the empress dowager, Da Yuer or something like that... No, Da Yuer is already the empress dowager.
