It's not far from Wende Palace to Zichen Palace. Zhao Xi accompanied his father and didn't go far.
Only then did Zhao Xi realize that receiving envoys was not much different from having a banquet with scholars. It was just a matter of rank and reputation as a scholar.
Another point is that the dynasty and envoys sit opposite each other, and only the emperor is independent.
Zhao Xi is also considered a minister, and he is located first under the steps to the left of his father's desk... This is probably the origin of His Highness's title.
Looking at the King of Runan and the King of Beihai whom he had attacked, Zhao Xi was also a little proud... You are a cousin! You are my cousin, so you don't have to stay under my control.
Following the shouts of the chamberlain, Daxia's envoys entered the palace one after another.
He was indeed a commoner from the frontier. There was no etiquette at all, and he had no idea how to enter the palace. He was just coaxed in like a swarm of swarms.
Zhao Xi discovered that the person sitting opposite him was actually a young man... This was probably the prince of Daxia.
A rather strong young man, his face looked a little anxious due to the long-term invasion of wind and sand. Zhao Xi estimated that this boy was only fifteen or sixteen years old.
A bunch of hair on the forehead, then the bare top of the head, and finally the little braid tied behind the ears... Zhao Xi found it strange and looked at it a few more times.
Ouch...you don't want people to see you when you look like this?
The boy opposite actually glared at him, even fiercely. Who were you trying to bluff?
Zhao Xi looked at him like this and wanted to see what would happen if he kept looking at him.
No matter what age you are, this age is the most arrogant and rebellious age.
In the mind of a man in his forties, Zhao Xi felt like he was being bullied just by teasing her like a child.
…
The fight has already begun in the main hall, and we are talking to each other in a lively manner.
Zhao Xi listened casually. It was a matter of principle whether it was a yearly gift or a yearly tribute... This was the most important thing for the country.
From Zhao Xi's point of view, it really doesn't matter how you say it, only getting benefits is important. The problem is that several encounters have resulted in humiliating defeats, so you can only gain the upper hand in words.
This time the dispute seems to be real.
They were actually talking about the issue of how much money should be given each year.
I've already given it all, but I'm still very enthusiastic about this trivial matter.
Zhao Xi was speechless as he looked at the court officials who looked like they had been given blood and quoted nonsense.
He was just talking to himself and didn't look at the strands of hair on the opposite side, so he didn't understand it at all.
Not to mention them, even Zhao Xi had to think for a long time after hearing this...How could this issue of overpaying and underpaying every year have something to do with ancient sages?
Regardless of them, I am here to receive this young man with a bunch of hair, so I can continue teasing him.
"I, the Crown Prince of Great Xia, are here, but you are accompanying me. I have asked you that your dynasty once had the husband of Yihuo, as well as a prince raised in the palace. If the position of the prince in your dynasty is different, and you are disrespectful, I will not agree with you."
Calculate.”
Who can do this? Isn’t it good to talk about money? I have to talk about your uncle!
When Zhao Xi heard this, he knew that he had something to do.
As soon as he finished speaking, he first looked at himself, then at King Runan beside him, and then at his father.
Needless to say, this sentence is really useful. Needless to say, King Runan touched a pain point, the pain point of two generations of spare tires. These words really made him embarrassed, awkward, and even had the idea of running away. At the same time, he was sure
He would have evil thoughts towards Zhao Xi... This has already happened, and Zhao Xi doesn't care.
The key is that dad's face doesn't look good either.
Isn't it true that my father is worried that I am overly worried? No matter how stupid I am, I know that my father's throne will not be given to others, even if my father is cowardly and involves the inheritance of the throne, there is no need to discuss this.
The most important thing is: just this sentence actually made the entire hall quiet.
"Who are you?"
There is no other way, Zhao Xi has to take action. If the cold continues like this, not only the father, but also the princes in the court will be a little confused.
"I am Yun Jingxun, the crown prince of Daxia."
Judging from the grandson's answer, he was quite honored.
"Jing Xun? What the hell is Jing Xun?"
Zhao Xi really didn't know how to express his disdain in a formal way. There really was no word "stuff" that could accurately express his emotions.
I just said it so rudely, and I feel that this is a bit inappropriate for the occasion. Now that I have said it, there is no need to explain anything.
"Back to your lord, Jing Xun is nothing. He was originally a scholar of our dynasty. He defected to Daxia because he failed in many trials."
Who is this? It's such a good match, Zhao Xi really wants to give him a thumbs up... It's Wang Su, this old boy is pretty good.
"Oh, it turns out it's not a joke. It's disrespectful, disrespectful, disrespectful. Looking at the attire, I thought he was my escort, but it turned out to be the Prince of Daxia, Zhongyun."
"I dare to ask Jing... what, why haven't you changed your customs? But you feel ashamed of your ancestors? Or does it mean that Daxia doesn't recognize you?"
Isn't it just pricking? I can do it too.
"This is my Daxia law. Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much. But you dressed up as a prince, making us doubtful."
He is truly a member of the imperial dynasty, and his effort in vain cannot be learned from the people of Daxia.
"I didn't think too much about it. I originally thought that Daxia must be full of talented people, but when I saw the scene today... I realized that Daxia has a hobby of recycling garbage."
"By the way, Jing, what are you doing? Does your mother know? Does your father know? Do your ancestors know? Remember, during the ancestor worship season next year, don't forget to write down your status with paper money, so as to comfort you.
Ancestors... descendants will honor his ancestors!"
Zhao Xi knows that whether it is in later generations or today, as long as you are Han Chinese, the worship of ancestors is deep-rooted and integrated in the blood, and it does not change depending on who you serve.
"Your Majesty, you are too worried. I will take care of my family affairs. What about your family affairs? How about it?"
I'll go! Zhao Xi dragged his ancestors out. He thought he could make the grandson think about what he told his ancestors for a while, but he didn't expect that the grandson really didn't care about his ancestors.
Forgot, since you can become a traitor, you probably no longer have the concept of ancestors.
"Um... what is the scene? I see that you are very worried about our country. Do you intend to return to the south? I can help you with this matter. The prince has difficulty in Zhongyun, as for the others..."
At this time, Zhao Xi stopped and looked at the young man opposite... Well, this is right, you should just stare at this scene, otherwise Zhao Xi would think that the young man opposite is an old fox.
"Don't try to ruin my reputation as Jingxun. As a minister of Daxia, I will be the ghost of Daxia even if I die!"
These are the two slogans you shout. It seems you don't mean what you say. Just now I clearly saw you waiting for my last words.
"Tch! Um...what is it? Is it necessary for me to ruin your reputation? The key point is, I want to know, do you still have a reputation for doing this? Don't talk about your reputation, don't tarnish these two words!"
Zhao Xi finally expressed his disdain frankly.
"How is my Jingxun, I know. How is Prince E, do you know? Yihuo behaves like a gentleman and raises the heir apparent in the inner garden. This is something that Prince E should consider."
Xiaoqiang is so difficult to deal with that he can't be beaten to death? Zhao Xi finally understood a sentence: Even the most humble person is invincible.
