Chapter 147: Hu peoples thoughts, Bailong resolves them
"The envoys from the Western Regions are calling to pay homage to my Majesty the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty——"
The eunuch at the palace gate raised his voice loudly. In the sight of the guards outside, the envoys from the Western Regions who were waiting on one side of the palace bowed slightly and walked into the Hall of Huitong. They bowed without kneeling and faced upwards.
Gongsun Lun, the emperor of imperial rank, pressed his chest with one hand and performed the rites of his country.
"Ayana Kingdom, meet the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty!"
"Xiu Baliguo, pay homage to the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty!"
"Xiu Kun, meet the Emperor of Jin!"
"Xiao Yiguo, pay homage to the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty!"
There were four envoys in total. Their costumes were a little strange, but there was not much difference in appearance and race. Most of the envoys who were able to go to Jin as envoys could speak the local language. Above the imperial rank, Gongsun Lun repeatedly asked about the affairs of the Posana Kingdom.
Having seen it many times, he looked at the envoy of Xiaoyi Kingdom with a smile in his eyes.
"I remember that Xiaoyi was originally a city in Posana. How did it come to me and become a country?"
"Reporting to the Emperor of the Supreme Court, the Kingdom of Posana has angered the Majesty of the Supreme Court and has lost its majesty. The people of Xiaoyi City are determined not to surrender to Posana and to establish themselves as a country!"
Listening to the other party's words, the emperor, Wenwu, nodded understandingly. People from foreign countries are the least loyal. Seeing the decline of Posha, they turned around and established their own country. It is not uncommon in the Western Regions. As long as there are people alive,
It is ridiculous to say that there are several countries as big as villages and towns.
"Posha Na was unscrupulous and started a war for no reason, killing my people and soldiers. Fortunately, we have gods and men in the Jin country to help us. We worked with the army and the people to turn the tide and drive them out of the country. Tell me, you came to pay homage to me, but what do you want?"
Gongsun Lun brushed aside his wide sleeves and placed his palm on the dragon's head: "As long as you can accept it, I will accept it."
The court fell silent, and the civil and military officials quietly watched what these foreign envoys would offer in exchange for their demands.
The four people over there looked at each other. Among them, the old man with a cane stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty Jin, all four of us hate the country of Posana. It once tyrannized us, plundered wealth, and forcibly spread doctrines. We can't bear it anymore."
For a long time, I hope your majesty Jin will not interfere."
What the envoy from Xiubali State said was straightforward and simple. He meant that the four countries should join forces to deal with Posana. He hoped that the Jin State would not take the opportunity to send troops and would just sit back and watch.
For Gongsun Lun and all the civil and military officials present, they are happy to see such a thing happen. It would be best if they could beat out the brains. Perhaps the old man's Chinese speech organization is not good. Speaking out at this time will be helpful.
The hint of threat made many civil and military officials frown.
The old man seemed to notice a slight change in the faces of everyone in the palace, and hurriedly said: "Don't be upset, the Emperor. As a token of sincerity, our four kingdoms will use all the skilled craftsmen and practitioners in the country to give His Majesty a great gift to express our sincerity."
"We are a vast country in China, with a vast land and abundant resources. What kind of mysterious things don't exist?" A military attache snorted disdainfully, but he didn't stop him. After all, he was still curious about what the four countries had built.
Gongsun Lun over there was the emperor after all, and he showed no emotion or anger. He nodded: "Okay, then let me see the great gifts from the four kingdoms!"
"Your Majesty, please move outside the palace!"
"Be bold!"
The nearby eunuch frowned and shouted coldly, but was interrupted by Gongsun Lun. He stood up from the dragon chair and strode down: "No problem, I am also curious about what kind of gift it is?! But if it doesn't catch my eye, I will be angry."
The four of them did not speak, but just exited the hall, feeling quite confident about the gift they had given. Not long after, a few dark-skinned Westerners pulled a horseless four-wheel carriage to the square and parked it in a nearby attic.
The Taoist priests of the Tianshi Mansion also looked curiously one by one, wondering why the carriage was pulled by people instead of horses.
The emperor who was being guarded squinted his eyes and looked at it. It was just a luxurious decoration and did not appear to be very magical.
"You four are going to offer this carriage? From my perspective, there is nothing mysterious about it."
"Your Majesty, this is a carriage that does not need horses to pull it!"
These words immediately aroused the surrounding civil and military officials and the emperor to be surprised. This was the first time they heard and saw a vehicle without the help of external force. They immediately went down the stone steps with some curiosity and approached the carriage step by step. The dark-skinned Westerners immediately retreated.
Go and clear the way.
"fine!"
Gongsun Lun touched the carefully carved lines and patterns rich in the colors of the Western Regions, and couldn't help but praise them, but he was more curious about how to make the car move.
"Your Majesty, please take a seat!" The envoy of Hubali State learned the etiquette of Han Dynasty and asked the emperor to get on the carriage and sit on the woolen seat. "Your Majesty only needs to press the armrests on both sides and turn to the left.
Turn to the right and you can turn. If you want to move forward, you only need to step on a crystal stone raised in front of His Majesty's feet."
From the workmanship to the miraculous ability, not only the civil and military people around were surprised, but also everyone in the Tianshi Mansion was surprised. Qiaoer frowned and thought carefully about the principle of this car. When he looked at all the senior brothers, the latter were all surprised.
Shaking his head, he said he didn't know, unless he could take it apart, maybe he could figure it out.
Over there, Gongsun Lun excitedly pressed the armrests on both sides. As expected, as the envoy from Naxiba Liguo said, the wheels in front began to swing with his left and right hands.
He tried to tap the round crystal stone with his toes. The carriage suddenly shook and then moved forward smoothly.
"well!"
Gongsun Lun shouted "Hello" several times on his seat, his face flushed with excitement, and he drove the vehicle back and forth in the square several times, but he couldn't get enough of it.
The four envoys from the Western Regions over there looked at each other, each smiled, raised their chins slightly, and looked at the attic in the distance, as if they already knew where the Tianshi Mansion and others were.
Among them, the female envoy from Ayana Kingdom was beautiful. With her blue eyes, she could see that the emperor was still unfinished, so she said delicately: "Your Majesty, you might as well drive this car outside the palace so that the people of Jin can take a look and show off your majesty's prowess."
majesty."
"rational!"
Gongsun Lun got this new thing and couldn't put it down. He pressed the handrail and turned a big corner. He called the palace guards behind him, Wenwu: "Follow me out of the palace and let the people see this thing!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Your Majesty, this is a wonderful skill, don't be greedy!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, it is necessary for the people to admire the majesty of the Emperor, but if Your Majesty drives this thing out, it will harm the majesty of Heaven!"
A group of civil servants immediately jumped out to object. The eyes of the four foreign envoys became less friendly, but Gongsun Lun could not listen at the moment. If such a mysterious thing fell into his hands, he could control it at will.
All I can think about is going out for a walk.
Seeing that the persuasion was ineffective, the civil and military officials in the palace sighed and followed the guards. The soldiers followed them all the way out of the palace. The four envoys walked in the middle of the team. They were very satisfied with the performance of the Jin emperor.
The purpose of presenting this car was to make Jin turn a blind eye; secondly, it was to show the Jin army and people their skilled craftsmen in the Western Regions, and also to show the strength of the four countries in the Western Regions.
The four-wheeled vehicle drove slowly through the long palace road. The patrolling palace sergeants all retreated to the left and right in horror. They just watched the emperor sitting in the open curtain, driving the vehicle out of the imperial city gate and heading straight to the west.
, walked around the streets near Xinyang River.
"Back off! Back off!"
The soldiers and horses in the palace rushed ahead, controlling the main roads and high places, and drove the passersby on the street to stand under the street eaves. When they saw the horseless vehicles coming slowly, they were all shocked and speechless.
Only when the vehicle passed by did he come to his senses one by one.
"Was it Your Majesty just now?"
"How did the cart move without horses?"
"Did you just see the people from the Western Regions among them? Could it be that the people from the Western Regions presented them to His Majesty?"
"That's really amazing... To be able to build such a vehicle is absolutely a rarity in the world."
In the babble of the common people, the emperor was very satisfied with the surprised and curious eyes of the people on both sides, which was even more impressive than riding out of the palace on an imperial edict.
As they approached the Zhenjun Temple, Gongsun Lun also wanted to go there. Even though Chen Yuan no longer had a physical body and he couldn't see it, he still wanted to share this mysterious thing with him.
"How long will the Emperor of Jin be gone?"
"No one can escape the desire to show off. It will be time for the emperor to make a fool of himself later."
The envoy from the Xiubali Kingdom smiled. The more the Jin Emperor behaved like this, the more it proved that the original intention of creating this thing was successful. But then, when they arrived at the Zhenjun Temple, the smiles of several people gradually faded, and the incense here
Exuberant, making them frown.
"Where is this place? There are so many Jin people who believe in gods?"
The female envoy from Ayena laughed and said, "There are many such prosperous temples in my country, and there is nothing strange about them."
As he spoke, in the Zhenjun Temple not far away, the statue seemed to open its eyes, with divine light shining out slightly. For a moment, Chen Yuan ascended to the top of the temple, looking at the street diagonally opposite with his hands behind his hands, where the horseless horse was pulling.
The vehicle was driving slowly, but he was slightly stunned. He didn't feel anything strange in his eyes.
After all, I have long been tired of seeing cars all over the streets.
But now the emperor was happy, so he just watched from a distance. However, the few people behind him suddenly used their magic power, and the vehicle they were driving suddenly stopped. Gongsun Lun only felt that the chair under his butt was like
As if pushing him, he jumped forward.
"These barbarians!" On the top of the temple, Chen Yuan murmured slightly, then raised his hand and waved.
At this moment, in the distant carriage, Gongsun Lun's body seemed to be blocked by something, and he was pushed back to sit down. Suddenly, a familiar feeling hit his face.
The four foreign envoys were stunned. They all made good excuses, but what they expected did not happen. At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew, and a rumble of thunder was heard rolling across the sky.
The believers, pilgrims, and common people in front of the temple suddenly screamed and fled away, shouting: "Ouch, the white snake is coming out!"
"Snake Lady!!"
Before the emperor in the car could recover, a white shadow wandered in the air, meandering towards him. When the wind rose, it turned into a five-foot-long snake coiled on the roof of the car. A group of guards were shocked and drew their swords and arrows.
When he pointed it out, the snake had no intention of harming Gongsun Lun. Instead, it wrapped around the carriage, its huge head slightly bowed towards the emperor.
The snake is also known as the little dragon, and its behavior is like surrendering to the emperor, which shows that he is the real emperor. For a while, the believers in front of the temple knelt down and kowtowed to the ground and shouted.
The soldiers who originally came forward with swords also half-knelt down with their weapons in hand. If you don't follow this scene, you will be punished.
The trembling Gongsun Lun was so worshiped by everyone at this time, and the energy in his heart also came up. First there was a magical vehicle pulled by a horse, and then the white snake came to pay homage. It was really majestic, and he immediately stood up and showed a majestic look.
He was solemn and said some words and words of encouragement to the people around him, showing the style of a wise king.
The envoys from the four countries over there also bowed and saluted, secretly looking at the temple over there, and they felt resentful.
…
During this half day, Gongsun Lunna was so majestic and happy that the white snake suddenly came out to help him highlight his majesty. How could he not understand that it was the icing on the cake of Chen Yuan in the temple.
"The temple ministers in Zhenjun's temple often treat people and help the people, so that everyone in Luodu can live and work in peace and contentment. A mere temple cannot show their achievements. Sirs, why don't I issue another imperial edict to move Zhenjun to Luodu?
City God, what do you think?"
The civil and military officials below have also seen all kinds of miracles today, and their families often go to the temple to worship the true king. There is nothing to object to. If people were alive and generously rewarded, they might say something, but no matter how they reward now
, it’s not an exaggeration, even if he is granted the title of emperor, they will nod in agreement.
After all, living people are different from dead people.
At this time, in the Siyi Pavilion, the envoys from the Western Regions countries were gathering in the small courtyard of the envoy from the Xiubali Kingdom, sitting under the tree, surrounding the stone table, and discussing the next matter.
The gifts had been sent, and the Emperor of Jin agreed to turn a blind eye and let them besiege the country of Posana.
All that's left is to return to their respective countries.
When they left temporarily, they had to do one more thing. Destroy the temple today, which really made part of their plan fail. If they didn't come back, they would not be happy on the way back.
"Does the Jin god enshrined in the temple really think that he is the one from the Tu Posha Na Kingdom?"
next moment.
A dark wind blew into the courtyard, and all the lights in the rooms that were still lit were extinguished, and the surrounding area became completely silent for an instant, with even the chirping of insects disappearing.
The moment the four people stood up, white mist filled the closed courtyard door along the cracks in the door.
Outside in the mist, there was a tinkling sound.
A Western Region guard looked out cautiously, as if there were deep and low-pitched words coming from him. The color drained from his face, he stumbled back, and fell to the ground. He looked at the four envoys under the tree and spoke in Western Region dialect.
He spoke stammeringly.
"...Outside the door... came... a... cow-head... looking for four adults... to go... with him."
As soon as the words fell, the courtyard was filled with gloomy energy. The faces of the four people suddenly changed wildly. Then they heard a bang and the courtyard door was kicked open inwards.
…
In the Tianshi Mansion Villa not far from the museum, Ming Hui and other Taoist priests, as well as Qiao'er, who were talking about today's events, clearly felt a violent Yin energy coming from the distance.
"It's in the direction of the Siyi Hall!"
Although the barbarians are rude, after all, if something happens in the city as an envoy to Jin, it will not be a good thing for the country's reputation.
"I knew this group of barbarians were going to provoke Chen Yuan, and they would definitely say bad things about him behind his back!" Ming Hui packed up his magic weapon and hurried out, asking Qiao'er to stay in the courtyard and stop walking around, but he couldn't hold the girl back.
He stalked after me.
The closer they got to the Siyi Pavilion, the Dharma Doors in their bodies were stimulated to start running on their own. The Yin Qi seemed to be extremely cold. The further they walked, the colder they became, feeling like a cold winter.
