Chapter 381: Chu Envoy (II)
Lu Zhe became interested in women? This is no less than which side of the army of Lu Zhe's force has won another big victory, after all, they have been paying attention for a long time, and it seems that they have never seen their own master have such an impulse since they followed Lu Zhe, isn't it great news?
Rumors such as Longyang's goodness can be stopped, and the owner of his own family is interested in women, so the birth of an heir should be soon?
heirs, they desperately need Lu Zhe to have an heir as the heir, not only to inherit the foundation that Lu Zhe has worked hard for, but also to make their descendants effectively loyal, so that they can follow the chaos and wait for death for so many generations.
Everyone was happy, including Xiang Bo, who saw that Lu Zhe didn't catch the things on the case, turned around and dragged a beautiful girl into his arms, and he was also secretly happy in his heart after being stunned for a moment.
"Hey, why did the crowd put their hands in?" Xiang Bo felt that Lu Zhe was acting too undecently even if he was acting.
Of course, Lu Zhe's hand had to be put in, and his chestnuts seemed to be handed to someone behind him casually when he was in the position just now, and the Mei Ji had heavy sleeves, and it was obvious that she had accepted it.
Jing Ju opened his face, and almost yelled out with another sentence of "too unreasonable". He didn't yell out, and when he saw that he wasn't playing with Mei Ji in front of the envoys of a country, he was about to slow down his expression, but he saw that Lu Zhe seemed to be taking out a bag of something, and after that "click", he understood that he was biting chestnuts!
"King of Chu's envoys Xiang Bo and Jing Ju, meet Lu Hou!"
The envoys of a country will not really kneel down and worship, they just bow down and stretch their hands upwards forty-five degrees, and the outstretched hands, except for the thumb, the other fingers of the palms are bent inward ninety degrees, and respectfully stop for three breaths before they re-erect their waists.
Lu Zhe didn't say nonsense such as "free courtesy", his eyes looked at the Wang Festival in Jing Ju's hand, and saw the tail full of feathers and tied with unknown things: "That's Wang Jie?" Is it new, or is it preserved when the country died? β
Belch!? Is there such a question? King's Day has always been passed down from generation to generation by the royal family. Only the royal family without inheritance needs to make a new royal festival, and the new royal festival is unlikely to have so many feathers and tails, because destroying a large country to add a tail and destroying a small country to add a feather is not something that can be made casually.
"Hehe, back to Lu Hou, since the Zhou Dynasty, the Great Chu has destroyed hundreds of countries, and every feather and every fierce on the King's Day is the national glory of a country. How can it be new? Xiang Bo replied with a high bearing, but his expression was reserved for appropriate benefits.
Kuaitong straightened his waist and bowed to Lu Zhe on the throne first, and then looked at Xiang Bo: "The state of Chu disobeys the Zhou room, asks Zhou Dingzhong, and the Jin state asks the Son of Heaven to lead the princes of the Central Plains to fight the Chu state; Later, the state of Chu submitted to the Zhou family and was listed as one of the princes under the command of Zhou Tianzi; Recently, Chu was destroyed by Qin, and such an important festival as Wang Jie was preserved, congratulations to the Chu State. β
Taunt. The literati-style scolding does not contain dirty words, simply put, Kuaitong said that the Chu State was just a barbarian country, and after provoking the Zhou royal family without his own strength, he was beaten all over the ground by the Jin State with a group of younger brothers, and what happened to the countless destruction of the country. In the end, he didn't become a courtier of the Zhou family, and he didn't need to be destroyed by the Qin State recently, so don't take out that Wang Jie who doesn't know the truth and disgust people.
"Chu first has a foundation to raise, and no one in the countries dares to stop its sharpness. The bowstring pulls the world to dodge; Returning to Zhou Dingxia is not a battlefield defeat, it is really the favorite of King Chu of Zhou Meiji, and he sent Meiji to thank Jin. That's how it was fixed. Xiang Bo felt even more, what he said was that the king of Chu asked Zhou Dingzhong by the way, in fact, he just wanted to rob a few women, and then he said that the princes under Zhou Tianzi couldn't stand to offer the beauties, and they felt that the goal was achieved and they stopped.
Destroyed by the Qin State? In addition to defending the country, which country in the world was not destroyed by the Qin State? It's just that Xiang Bo is not facing the nations, but Lu Zhe, who was born in the Qin, otherwise he should have asked the kings of the countries if he was gone.
Oh, raise Yuji, the legend has a bow and no arrows in the world's first marksman, every time the king of Chu goes out to worship the temple, take out one of the three branches or two branches, three branches, the arrow shot out is a ...... can shoot a hundred and eighty miles with the stars and the moon, well, in fact, it is not easy to make arrows with good craftsmanship at that time, the three arrows are thousands of selected and tested, and the shooting is more accurate, that's all.
"So, the king of Chu sent an envoy this time to ask for Mei Ji?" Kuai Tong is not a debater, he was just pulled out by Lu Zhe to say an opening remark, and if he really wants to confront Xiang Boyu, he may not be an opponent.
Xiang Bo raised his hand and saluted Kuaitong: "Mr. said and laughed, I heard that Lu Hou Zhi is in the world, not moved by beauty, he reads official documents every day to carry a car, and his subordinates are even better than mandarin ducks, so there is such a great cause in just one year." β
Lu Zhe frowned, he felt that Xiang Bo was scolding him for being incompetent in some aspect, not only scolding, but also saying that he liked a majestic and mighty man.
"Hahaha, the mandarin duck is so good, thank you for the compliment." Kuaitong is not Lu Zhe, a guy who doesn't learn and has no skills, and the current mandarin duck is not referring to a man to make a base, but to say that the relationship between two men is very good, and it is a word of praise.
said that Lu Zhe was not moved by beauty, and read a few cars and cars of official documents, to be honest, it was not scolding, but Xiang Bo's attitude had to be softened, which meant that he didn't want to be too entangled in some aspects, and he was soft.
Fortunately, Lu Zhe has chestnuts in his mouth, otherwise he would have opened his mouth to scold after listening to it, which would definitely be a shame in the world if it was to be spread.
"Bo came this time, first of all, to express my king's congratulations to the Marquis of Lu on his successive victories and ranking among the princes. Secondly, our king also asked his ministers to extend sincere greetings to the Marquis of LΓΌ. Finally......" Xiang Bo couldn't help but stop when he saw Lu Zhe staring at him viciously, he knew very well that he didn't say anything excessive, why did Lu Zhe have that kind of eyes?
Kuai Tong looked at Xiang Bo's line of sight and saw that there was something wrong with Lu Zhe's expression. He slowly stood up and moved over, lowering his voice: "Lord, but what's the problem?" β
"Mandarin duck, he said that I and many majestic strong men are mandarin ducks!" Lu Zhe has heard rumors about himself recently, he is a normal man, and his recent interest in women is actually related to that rumor, and he wants to prove his normality with the most practical actions.
"Huh? Mandarin duck is good, a foreign minister can describe it like this, that is to praise the Lord and his subordinates for harmonious love. Kuaitong felt that there was nothing wrong, Lu Zhe should be happy.
"What?!" Lu Zhe saw that Kuaitong was serious, and realized that there seemed to be something wrong. He decided to ask him afterwards, and now he would hear what Uncle Xiang had to say.
Xiang Bo was really sure that he had said the wrong thing, he looked at the two monarchs and ministers muttering in a low voice, but in his heart he was shocked that Lu Zhe's trust in that Qi countryman could be leaned over without asking for instructions, and it seemed that none of the civil and military forces in the hall felt wrong.
"Kuaitong? It seems that he is one of Lu Shizhe's important advisers, and he should check what this person has done. Xiang Bo instantly had such a plan.
On the other side, Jing Ju, who has come to his senses, is despising any country with a regular point, no matter whether it is trust or what, who will mumble in front of foreign envoys? He directly defined it in his heart: "The rural untouchables are the rural untouchables, and the disgrace has been thrown to Dachu, and this matter should be spread to the nations, so that the Lu thief will become the laughing stock of all countries." β
Having said that, a faux pas is a bit rude, but no matter how Lu Zhe says it, he can pull out hundreds of thousands of troops in the five counties, who would laugh at Lu Zhe without hatred now? Jing Ju is purely ashamed of being scared just now, and regaining his self-confidence mentally.
Kuaitong walked back to his actions, sat down on his knees, and looked at Xiang Bo: "My lord has a question, please tell the envoy of Chu." β
Xiang Bo, who was thinking in his heart, stabilized his mind and saluted, "Please speak." β
"When Xiang Gong retreated, he took away a large number of young people from Lujiang County, when will those young people be released?" Lu Zhe's voice was steady, and he did not deliberately show arrogance.
Xiang Bo was really stunned for a moment, and after he reacted, he smiled dumbly: "Lu Hou, before my brother withdrew the army, Lujiang was still owned by Huan Chu, and it did not belong to Lu Hou." β
Huan Chu didn't come today, if he was there, he would probably jump out on the spot and strangle Xiang Bo who was smiling.
After Lu Zhe's attitude was expressed, as a monarch, he should try to speak as little as possible, and maintaining his majesty is only one aspect, and it is more about his subordinates who have more room to increase their bargaining chips, so it is time for others to appear at this time.
Yan Bi swept his sleeves before speaking: "Huan Chu is my lord's subordinate, and Lujiang is also owned by my lord." β
"If Lu Hou wants to go back to Lujiang Qingzhuang, he can naturally do it." Xiang Bo smiled heartily and paused before continuing: "Huizhang County originally had close to 900,000 people, and Lu Hou walked around Huizhang and there were less than 300,000 left, why don't you swap?" β
It's not soft or hard, the people who want to go back to Lujiang, how can you take out something, then just take out the people who were taken away from Huizhang County, let's not say anything else, it's fair to swap this condition.
Lu Zhe didn't want to talk about any fairness with Chu Guo, he took a look at Yan Bi.
"Yes, too." Yan Bi seemed to be very talkative, he made a gesture of pinching his fingers to calculate, his mouth muttered for a while without knowing what he was muttering, and then said: "There are about 200,000 immigrants in Huizhang County, but there are not many deaths. Xiang Gong fought and killed in Lujiang County, and nearly 300,000 people were lost successively, and nearly 200,000 young people were taken captive into the Chu State.......
Yan Bi said this for a quarter of an hour, from population to wealth, and from wealth to food.
ββ¦β¦ It seems that we should also give Chu a lot more money and food. Dare to ask the Chu envoy," Yan Bi stared at Xiang Bo with a smile: "Do you want it?" β
"......" Xiang Bo has seen all kinds of people, and it is not unheard of in negotiations with other countries, but it is the first time he has seen such an act of a force like Lu Zhe.
Dumb, is it really dumb, does Chu want it? Does the State of Chu dare to ask for it? (To be continued......)
