Hey, this proposal seems to be good, no matter how the outside world talks about the relocation of the capital, the Daqian Imperial Court has never admitted it positively, nor officially issued an announcement on the relocation of the capital, but secretly did the matter of moving the capital, waiting for the outside world to react, the relocation of the capital has been completed.

When that time comes, the announcement will be officially released.

Zhao Junsheng said: "Dongfang's proposal is very good, just do it, you can negotiate a feasible plan as soon as possible!" ”

Several important ministers promised: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

Zhao Junsheng waved his hand: "Okay, you all go back, I don't care about dinner here!" ”

Hongluqing Li Ji stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to play!" ”

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "You say!" ”

"A few days ago, a party tribe sent an envoy to Qianjing to ask for a meeting!"

Zhao Junsheng heard it, "Oh? Where does this party member live now? How many tribes do they have, how many populations? How many soldiers and horses are there? ”

Li Ji said: "Not long ago, when the news came from the border pass that a party tribe had sent an envoy, the minister specially checked it, and this party member now lives in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in the southeast of Tuyuhun and in the valley area northwest of Yizhou, and the area under his jurisdiction is very vast! ”

"There are many tribes of the Dangxiang people, with one surname as one tribe, and from the information we have so far, we know that their big tribe has more than 3,000 horsemen, and the small tribe has five or six hundred horsemen! There are eight more famous tribes, namely the fine Feng clan, Fei Ting's clan, Xiang Li's clan, Pochao's clan, Yeli's clan, Mi Bao clan, Tuoba clan and other eight tribes, in addition to the black party item, the snow mountain party and other tribes, and among these party members, the Tuoba clan is the largest, and the envoy sent to the court this time is the Tuoba clan! ”

"The party members advocate force, there are no decrees, they live separately on weekdays, they do not interact with each other in the event of war, they gather together when there is a war, they have no forced labor, they do not know how to cultivate and grow crops, they only rely on grazing yaks, sheep, and pigs for food, the areas controlled by the party members are rich in good horses, and their cavalry is very sharp!"

"The party worships the gods, and after death they are to be cremated, and the people of the same clan must help each other, and when they are hurt and humiliated by foreigners, they must take revenge, and before they take revenge, they must be unkempt and barefoot, and they are not allowed to eat meat, as a sign of shame, until they kill the enemy before they can be restored! Also, the party members worship white, and they also call themselves the great white country."

Several other ministers listened to Li Ji's description of the party members, and they all said in their hearts that they were worthy of being barbarians!

Zhao Junsheng asked: "You just said that the envoy sent to the court to meet is a party tribe called the Tuoba clan, is this Tuoba clan related to the Xianbei Tuoba clan?" ”

Li Ji replied: "It is rumored that the Dangxiang Tuoba clan and the Xianbei Tuoba clan have a common ancestor, but I don't know if it's true!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while and ordered: "In this way, you can arrange it, three days later, I will accept the court meeting of the envoys of the Dangxiang Tuoba clan in the Taiji Palace, and pass on my oral message, so that the chief officials of the three provinces, the six departments, Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, Zongren Mansion, Shaofu, Taifu, Taichang, Tongzheng Envoy and other yamen will accept the court meeting of the party envoys with me at that time!" ”

"Yes!"

At dinner at night, Zhao Junsheng said to Mulan: "You don't have any other arrangements after three days, right?" ”

Hua Mulan asked: "Taking advantage of the good weather, I plan to go south to see the lonely old people and orphaned children in various states and counties, and I decided to leave in two days, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Junsheng was stunned, "Why did you tell me about such a big thing?" ”

"I've been busy with this for the past few days, and I wanted to tell you about it, but every time I come back, I forget it! I just went out of Beijing to see the lonely old people and orphaned children, although the time is longer, it may take more than a month, but there is no danger, you don't have to worry! By the way, I am not here during this time, you can bring Yutong into the palace, I don't mind! ”

As he spoke, he suddenly said something at the end, and Zhao Junsheng almost went crazy when he heard it, "Why don't you open which pot and which pot to mention?" ”

His appearance caused Mulan to cover her mouth and snicker.

Zhao Junsheng finally calmed down, "Forget it, since you have decided, then let's go, but it is too hasty to set off the day after tomorrow for a long time, prepare for a few more days, just three days later, there will be a messenger sent by the party to meet you, and then you will come with me to accept the party messenger's court!" ”

"Party members? Haven't heard of it, somewhere? Mulan asked curiously.

"The Dangxiang people live in the upper reaches of the Yellow River in the southeast of Tuyuhun and in the valley area in the northwest of Yizhou, where there are many plateaus, mountains, and rivers. They have many tribes of different sizes and numbers, each tribe has a surname, and the messenger sent this time is a tribe called the Tuoba clan, and I don't know if it has anything to do with the Xianbei Tuoba clan! ”

After hearing this, Hua Mulan said: "It's not impossible, the Tuyuhun people are all Murong clan, and they are also the same ancestor as the Tuoba clan, and it is not surprising that the Tuoba clan of this party member is related to the Xianbei Tuoba clan!" ”

Three days later, a temporary court meeting was held, because it was a temporary court meeting, there was no need to go to court at the time of Mao as usual, and Zhao Junsheng set a time to receive the envoy.

Before the hour, the envoy of the party was already waiting outside the palace gate, accompanied by the officials of the Honglu Temple.

"The envoy of the Xuandang Xiang Tuoba clan is here!" As a voice continued to come out of the palace, three eunuchs walked in quickly from the palace gate, and one of them screamed loudly: "Your Majesty has a will, the envoy of the Xuandang Xiang Tuoba clan is here!" ”

"Hurry up, messenger, Your Majesty has summoned, please follow this official into the palace!" The official of Honglu Temple immediately said to the envoy and walked into the palace with his group.

At the beginning of the palace gate, the party envoys and entourage were shocked by the towering palace walls and towers, and when they entered the palace, the wide royal road and the large palaces, pavilions and attics passed along the way, they felt small.

I don't know how many palace gates and how many majestic palaces they have passed, and the party envoys and entourages feel that their legs are sore, and then they are told that they have arrived at the Taiji Hall where the emperor received them.

The officials of Honglu Temple told the envoys that they could not bring a sword into the temple, and that they could salute the emperor according to their own etiquette after entering the temple, but they could not interrupt the emperor's speech, and the envoy was told some rules before taking off the sword and being allowed to enter the temple.

The party envoy walked into the main hall with two entourages, and was immediately stopped by the grandeur, solemnity and solemnity in the hall, and his legs and feet were a little disobedient, and his mind was a little dazed.

finally walked to the middle of the hall and stopped, saluted Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan with the etiquette of the party members, and muttered a lot in their language.

Fortunately, there are officials who are proficient in the party language next to him, and the words spoken by this party person are different from the Xianbei language, Zhao Junsheng can understand the Xianbei language, but he can't understand the party language, it seems that it is impossible to judge whether this Tuoba clan is related to the Xianbei Tuoba clan from the language aspect.

The interpreter next to him said: "Your Majesty, the party envoy said that he is the envoy Tuoba Yannu of Tuoba Siqi, the leader of the Tuoba tribe of the Great White Shangguo, and he came to meet His Majesty on the order of Tuoba Siqi, and sent His Majesty two hundred horses, three thousand sheep, and two hundred catties of cordyceps!" ”

Mulan was curious: "What is Cordyceps?" ”

The interpreter doesn't know, and he doesn't know how to answer for a while.

The ministers and generals didn't understand, so naturally they didn't know, even the imperial doctors didn't necessarily know, because at this time there was no medical book that recorded Cordyceps, and the medicinal effects of Cordyceps were recorded in medical books or in the Tang and Song dynasties.

Moreover, Cordyceps does not grow in the Central Plains and the southern regions, and most of them grow in the plateau areas, which causes few doctors in the areas controlled by the Central Plains Dynasty to know the medicinal properties and medicinal value of Cordyceps.

But farmers and herders in the Tibetan Plateau know how to soak Cordyceps in water to treat related diseases.

Zhao Junsheng introduced to Mulan: "I have heard of this Cordyceps, it is a Chinese herbal medicine, similar to insects, so it is called Cordyceps!" Most of them grow in highland areas, and the higher the terrain, the better the quality of the cordyceps! The taste is sweet and flat, and it returns to the lung meridian and kidney meridian, and its function is to make up for deficiency, benefit essence and qi, and relieve cough and phlegm! If it is weakened after illness, you can split the duck head of the old male duck, put three or five Cordyceps into it, tie it with a thin thread, and then steam it with soy sauce mixed with wine; If you have a cough and asthma, you can use Cordyceps five dollars to one or two with the old male duck to take, first kill the old male duck to remove the internal organs, put the Cordyceps into the male duck's belly, and take it after steaming! ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Junsheng looked at the ministers and generals below with a smile, "If any of you in the Qing family has sexual inadequacy, you can use Cordyceps five yuan to one or two boiled meat or stewed chicken, and it will be effective after eating it for ten days and half a month, but you still have to be moderate, if you are unrestrained, even if you eat more, it is useless!" If you need something, tell me, and I'll give some! ”

The ministers and generals couldn't help but laugh.

Hua Mulan glared at Zhao Junsheng fiercely, coughed twice, and the ministers suddenly felt a chill coming, and they couldn't help but shrink their necks and close their mouths.

The medicinal properties and medicinal value of Cordyceps were spread in the Central Plains in a short period of time after Zhao Junsheng said this, and it became famous for a while.

Zhao Junsheng immediately changed the topic and asked the envoy Tuoba Yannu: "You said that you are the envoy of the Tuoba tribe of the Great White Kingdom, dare to ask you which lord of the Great White Kingdom is currently reigning?" ”

After listening to the interpreter's translation, Tuoba Yannu said: "I have no lord in the kingdom of Dabai, and on weekdays, each tribe does its own thing, generally does not come and go, and each has its own territory for grazing. ”

Zhao Junsheng shook his head after hearing this: "You don't even have a country, how can you be considered a country?" In this world, all those who are considered a country have a lord who rules over the people, establishes a program, has laws, and speaks of human ethics. Your tribes don't come together very often, not even the tribal alliances, and the only reason why you can come together to defend yourself against the enemy in the event of a foreign invasion is because you have a common language, and nothing else! By the way, what did your chieftain, Tuobasqi, send to the Hajj? ”
