Chapter 10: The Envoys Come to Court
Liu Fei drank two more sips of Erguotou before leaving, he had been here for so long, and it was the first time he drank the taste of his hometown. I couldn't help but take two more sips.
Back in the dormitory, Liu Fei was already a little drunk, the stamina of the second pot was big, and he fell asleep in a daze, and the next day, when Liu Fei woke up, it was already three poles in the sun. Xiao Li Zi and Xiao Guizi, who were guarding outside the door, saw Liu Fei wake up, and hurriedly asked someone to freshen up and change clothes for Liu Fei, and told Liu Fei that Prime Minister Ding Yuan had been waiting in the study for nearly half an hour. After freshening up, Liu Fei hurriedly walked to the upper study, Ding Yuan saw me so early, there must be something important, and he didn't even eat the breakfast brought by Xiao Guizi. It hurt Xiao Guizi to run behind early.
When he came to the upper study, he saw Prime Minister Ding Yuan walking back and forth with a piece of music in his hand from a distance, and when he saw Liu Fei's arrival, Ding Yuan hurriedly knelt down and asked for peace: "Weichen see Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty!"
"Let's be even, Ding Aiqing, what's the urgency of looking for me so early?"
"Back to Your Majesty, this morning the minister received an urgent report from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and the minister did not dare to make a private claim after reading it, so he hurriedly entered the palace to meet the Holy Lord, and asked His Majesty to make a holy judgment. ”
"What's the matter, even you can't call the shots?"
"Your Majesty, this is a memo sent by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, please take a look at it. Liu Fei took the fold, opened it and looked at it, it turned out that the surrounding countries, large and small, sent people to congratulate them on the occasion of the new emperor of the Xinhan Kingdom ascending the throne.
"Have you settled down?"
"The ministers have settled the envoys in the pavilion. ”
"Well, that's very good, then let them rest in the pavilion, and tomorrow I will summon them. ”
"Obey!" The next day, Liu Fei went to court in the Chaoyang Palace, and all the civil and military officials stood in detachment, waiting for Liu Fei's arrival. The emperor arrived, and the ministers were in the early court, with a shout from Xiao Guizi. All the officials knelt down one after another.
"All the lovers are exempt from courtesy, and they are flat!" Xiao Guizi, passing the envoys to see him, Liu Fei turned to Xiao Guizi and said, Xiao Guizi bowed down and shouted outside the door, Your Majesty has a decree to announce that the envoys of various countries will meet you.
"Announce the envoys of all countries to meet the ministers! Announce the envoys of all countries to meet the ministers! Announce the envoys of all countries to meet the ministers!" The shouts outside the door gradually spread.
After a short time, the eunuch led a group of people into the main hall, and then quietly left.

The second prince is dignified and prestigious, I think the prince of Yan should be you, you should be the future of Yan Guo, I also heard that the second prince has a cousin, sixteen years old, I don't know if he is married?"
"Your Majesty Xie praised, he is still young in his life, and his experience is not as good as that of the imperial brother, and the real future of the Yan Kingdom is still the imperial brother. Cousin Funa is exactly sixteen this year and is not married. It's just that Murong Fu's face was always filled with a smile.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, the foreign minister is Duan Yu, the prince of Dali, and he specially presents ten beauties and more than 100 elephants to His Majesty the Emperor. ”
"Emperor Xie Dali and King Zhennan, Your Highness has worked hard. ”
"Your Royal Highnesses and princes have come from afar, and after a hard time, I will prepare a banquet for the Zhaoyang Palace and entertain all the princes. Liu Fei called the eunuch guards and led the princes and princes to the Zhaoyang Palace.
"Your Royal Highnesses and princes, you have worked hard to come the original way, and I will prepare a thin wine today, I hope you will not blame. "Come, drink, music. A group of palace maids danced on the stage, and a group of eunuchs also brought up the wine brewed by the winemaker and poured wine cups for the princes and princes.
"Come, everyone, toast together. Liu Fei picked up the wine cup in his hand and drank it all. The princes and princes also took up their wine cups and drank them all, but as soon as the wine entered their throats, they coughed one by one.
"Emperor Xinhan, what do you mean by this? We can't look down on our group of princes and princes! We have come from afar to congratulate you without any pain, and if you don't want to entertain us, you will say it bluntly, why poison the wine?" Duan Yu stood up and accused.
"Everyone, I forgot to tell you, this is our new wine brewed by Xinhan, it is stronger than ordinary wine, you have not drunk such a strong wine, you can't drink it at once, otherwise your current situation will appear, you can taste it slowly. Everyone listened to Liu Fei's words, and picked up the wine cups filled by the eunuchs again and tasted them slowly.
"Well, Your Majesty, this wine is not the wine we usually drink! ”
