Chapter 874: The Charm of the Spirit

Lu Zhe said that Liu Bang is the only most suitable person, it is absolutely an exaggeration, a certain thing can only be done by one person in a country, such a country must be extremely lacking in talents, and will not appear in a thriving country.

So, how did Liu Bang become the right person? Everything is just because the nobles with aristocratic status have nothing to do except Liu Bang.

That's right! There are not many nobles in the empire, because it is a period of rapid expansion as long as there is a little talent, and the empire has enough positions to use only talents, but Liu Bang has no military literacy and no ability to govern the people, he has been staying at home for a long time and waiting for death for a long time. This person can speak well, and can get along with people and become friends in a very short period of time, Hongru Pavilion is now extremely short of manpower, and many people remember the existence of this person, and it is time to pull it out and "make the best use of it".

Knowing what he was going to be appointed, Liu Bang's whole person was not good for a moment. He was a little happy that he could be valued, but the timing didn't seem so right? They are busy with the affairs of the outer seal, and it is almost at a critical juncture, and the center sends a mission?

"The furthest we have to reach Armenia, and Atropene should be twenty or thirty thousand miles away from us, passing through the Western Regions and several countries along the way. Many countries and tribes such as Bactria, Parthia, Kashmir, Arakosia, Palpasemes, etc., need to pay a return visit, which should take about three to four years. ”

"Your Majesty, I, Your Ministers, ......"

Liu Bang really couldn't remember the strange names that Lu Zhe said, and when he heard that he would have to walk twenty or thirty thousand miles, his face was as bitter as a durian, and then it took at least three or four years to cry and cry.

Twenty or thirty thousand miles, I don't know what will happen on the road, the empire knows nothing about the far west, and God knows how many mountains and how many rivers to climb. Three or four years? That should be a smooth timetable, and it may not go smoothly for more than ten years! What is Liu Bang's inner thoughts? The first thought was that the king didn't want to take people out to work hard, and then he was assigned.

In fact, Lu Zhe really didn't want Liu Bang to get involved with King Wei's family. But to say that there is absolutely no such thing as Liu Bang.

The major affairs of the country are in the worship and Rong, of course the ritual is the sacrifice, the Rong is the military, many times the diplomatic etiquette is also a part of the "ritual", but also an indispensable part of the "Rong", if Lu Zhe simply wants to separate Liu Bang from the Wei Wang's family, he will not joke about diplomatic affairs, since Liu Bang is used in diplomacy, there are naturally other reasons.

Lu Zhe said very seriously: "This is the first time the empire has visited a foreign country, and you need to understand the importance of this matter. ”

Liu Bang couldn't hide his crying face: "The minister understands." Chancellor understands very well. He seemed to be crying and laughing, anyway, the expression on his face was very ugly: "But the minister, the minister has never done this kind of thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well!" ”

"Really?" Lu Zhe seemed to hesitate slightly: "The empire needs to understand those countries in Central Asia, and it also needs to conduct topographic surveys on the way, so as to build an outpost for the empire to trade with Central Asia......"

"I don't understand topographic exploration, I really don't understand." Liu Bang showed a flattering smile, and the wrinkles of an old face were squeezed into a pile: "I'm afraid that I will delay the king's major affairs." ”

"That's a pity," Lu Zhe seemed to be planning to give up. When he turned his head, he whispered as if he was talking to himself: "It's a pity that the white body is an envoy, and when he comes back, he will at least be a fifth-class viscount." ”

Liu Bang just looks old, and the other organs are not clear whether they are healthy or not. The ears were very good, and he was stunned for a moment, and asked cautiously: "Non-nobles, can you get a fifth-class viscount title when you come back from the mission?" ”

"Huh?" Lu Zhe saw Liu Bang's expression of expectation and apprehension: "The empire attaches great importance to this envoy. ”

No direct answer was given. But the words are very clear and clear, and the answer is clear.

"That'...... Then, the minister came back from an envoy? Liu Bang couldn't help but start to get nervous: "The minister said that the minister sent an envoy back to the title...... How much can a knighthood be raised? ”

Lu Zhe was stunned at first. Then he couldn't hold back a burst of "hahaha......" laughing, raised his hand and pointed at Liu Bang: "You, you're too philistine!" ”

"Hehe, hehe, you know that the minister is a scoundrel in the market, he doesn't have much ability, and if he wants to live a good life, he has to seize every opportunity, hehe......" Is Liu Bang revealing his shortcomings? Sort of! He was not embarrassed or embarrassed, and said very seriously and sincerely: "Because of fate, the minister has his current identity and status, but the minister does not know how to fight, and the second does not have the talent of a herdsman. No matter how useless the minister is, he is a third-class baron of the dignified empire, and if he doesn't have that face, he can only use the identity of a third-class baron to be a military marquis or a small official, so he can only try something else. Recently, the minister has been thinking about going out to fight, so as to take advantage of those savages, and make some merit for the empire to conquer the territory and make some merit where he can, so that he can have merit worthy of the third-class baron, and no longer be regarded as a repeated villain who betrays people to obtain the title of nobility......"

Lu Zhe was listening, he didn't know how much Liu Bang could believe, but it really didn't prevent him from listening carefully.

"Bearing the title of a repeated villain is found by the minister himself, and he can't blame anyone. In that kind of general trend of the world, the minister is like Liu Ping floating on the river and sea, with no ability to control the general trend, only to go with the flow. Liu Bang said that the lower his voice was: "The minister only has that ability, and he wants to live a life of a master, so he ......." The lowered head was raised again: "They are blinded by the vain ambition, but the minister is self-aware. It's not that the minister doesn't know the meaning of love, and it's not that the minister wants to be a repeated villain, but it's just to survive, the minister is very afraid of death, really afraid of death, and he didn't think that he would get the king's favor and become a nobleman of the empire. ”

At this moment, Lu Zhe's heart was a little strange, if history had not changed, Liu Bang would be the founder of a powerful empire? Regardless of whether what Liu Bang is saying now is true or false, how many people can listen to the voice of a founding king?

"I became a nobleman and lived the life of a superior person, but it is difficult for the minister to make achievements in civil and military affairs, and I have always been very worried." Liu Bang straightened up his waist: "The so-called matter of eating the king and being loyal to the king, the minister cannot take on the responsibility of the nobles of the empire in civil and military affairs, and now he is finally a little suspicious of serving the king and the empire!" ”

"......" Lu Zhe was very forced to resist the urge to grow his mouth, and his mood could be described in one sentence, that is, there were 10,000 divine beasts rushing by in his mind.

Liu Bang straightened his waist. Swinging his long sleeves with his hands in a bowing posture, and then bowed long: "The minister will use his best efforts to make a good visit, twenty or thirty thousand miles of travel cannot stop the minister's courage to serve the king, and three or four years of time will not hinder the minister's determination to fulfill his responsibilities for the empire." The minister thanked the king for his trust and the reuse of the empire, and slowly erected his waist again, and then bowed down again: "Please be sure to entrust the chief officer of the envoy to the minister!" ”

"Huh? Uh-hmm! "Lu Zhe is not an uninformed person, living in the era of the information explosion, even an otaku who has been staying at home can see strange things from the Internet. But he really didn't personally experience what he was going through, and he was only stunned for a while.

Liu Bang bowed down for a while, and when he saw that Lu Zhe was silent, he tilted his head slightly as if he wanted to take a peek? When he stood upright again, he quickly glanced at Lu Zhe, and saw a face that couldn't help but laugh and was stunned, and then bowed down again: "Please give the king an order, the minister will not live up to the trust!" ”

"Liu Bang, ......" Lu Zhe really didn't know what expression to use, and his voice was a little strange: "You should prepare well, and contact the envoys of various countries in the near future." Do a good job of understanding in advance. ”

Liu Bang replied heavily: "No! Then he slowly stood up under Lu Zhe's gesture: "Your Majesty, the minister will go on an errand immediately!" He was in Lu Zhe's nodding motion. Turning around neatly, he quickly strode his legs and stepped on his steps almost at a trot, and soon disappeared from Lu Zhe's field of vision.

Waiting for Liu Bang to disappear, Lu Zhe's irrepressible laughter sounded in the hall. The laughter came out of the main hall, and the soldiers standing outside on duty almost all looked at the people nearby when they heard it, they had never heard Lu Zhe laugh like this. Especially when this happens in the House of Representatives.

"What's the situation?" Xiao He happened to come over, he and Liu Bang were not on the same road, and he could hear the laughter coming from the council hall from afar, so he asked the soldier on duty on the steps curiously.

The armored soldier who was questioned turned his head to look at the consul Xiao He, he shook his head and said nothing.

The court has the discipline of the court, and you must know how to rot in your heart what you see and hear, otherwise a seemingly random word may cause you to disappear without a trace.

Xiao He just asked casually, and it was clear that the soldier on duty would not answer at all, so his feet did not pause when he asked.

After the report, Xiao He, who had been allowed to enter the hall, saw Lu Zhe walking back and forth on the platform above the main steps, laughing. He looked left and right, and found that the armor and maids in the hall were all smiling, and just as he was about to speak, there was a sound behind him, which seemed to be a request from many civil and military officials to enter.

"Pass, let them all come in." Lu Zhe can be regarded as holding back his smile, but when he turns his head to look at the Egyptian chick, may it be Morlius? Yadi had something to poke at the joke, and the laughter that had been stopped came out again.

"What's going on?" Xiao He was very curious and puzzled.

"Ha, haha! Ruling and ruling are coming? Lu Zhe couldn't stop for a while, and his tears were about to fall, so he tried hard to take a few deep breaths, calmed down for a while, and then faced Molius? Yadi instructed: "Let the dining room prepare the food and eat it lighter at noon." ”

Maureus? Although Yadi already knows imperial Chinese, she really doesn't know what's funny. It is very normal for a minister to flatter the king, and it is a matter of course for the minister to please the king, and she does not think it is unusual.

Well, it's Maureus? Yadi's face poked Lu Zhe's laughter inexplicably, and it took a lot of hard work to make Lu Zhe hold back again.

There were a lot of people in the hall, Xiao He seemed to hear someone talking about Liu Bang, and after thinking about it a little, he understood that Liu Bang should have appeared in the hall just now. However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of what Liu Bang had done to make Lu Zhe laugh.

"So early?" Ji Bu shook his hand casually, and said seemingly casually: "I just met Liu Bangmian, and he got the position of head of the envoy to Central Asia from the king, and he is happy to be like something. ”

"Oh, really?" Xiao He was either asking, or a casual acquiry. Of course, he knew that Liu Bang was the candidate for the chief official to send to Central Asia, and he knew it even more than Ji Bu. That's because he's one of those who participates in the total. He looked at the people and found that there were military attaches and civil officials, but today was not a large or small court meeting, and it was already past the time of the court meeting: "Did something happen?" ”

"What's the matter?" Ji Bu asked rhetorically, seeing Xiao He's puzzled face, "Oh ......" and dragged a long note, and Mance said in an orderly manner: "We were originally drinking together in a wine shop near Miyagi, and we accidentally found that there were a lot of 'wild men' gathered outside Miyagi Square, and found that they were visiting the statue group, and we came after a while. ”

"Huh?" Xiao He was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?" Did you notice someone visiting your statue and think you could show it off? ”

really guessed for Xiao He, Ji Bu's gang found that there were aliens visiting their statues, and their vanity exploded directly. What are they fighting so hard for? It's for fame and fortune, but also for the history of celebrities, and now almost all have an identity and are destined to be famous for a hundred years, but that is only a legend circulating within the empire, with the broadening of their horizons and not satisfied with their glory limited to the empire, I feel that I should let the aliens know their prestige.

In a kind of ostentatious mentality, they drank a lot of wine, and Ji Bu proposed that a group of people, whether they liked it or not, would not be disappointed when they were in the mood, so they swaggered out of the wine shop and went to the square outside Miyagi. It can be described as slow and exaggerated, they are just swaying back and forth in a group of aliens, and being recognized as the real body of the statue is a burst of chatter, and Lu Zhe got the news and sent someone out to invite, and as a result, they appeared in the palace.

"Ruler, I don't have to say, your statue is a civil official, and those savages don't see anything remarkable. They adored the armor-clad generals, and someone recognized me and kissed my boots! "Jibu is very proud, very proud.

"What kiss boots?" Lu Zhe didn't know when he had already descended the steps of the main seat, and when he got closer, he just heard Ji Bu chattering.

"Don't listen to that nonsense, did the minister not pay attention to who tripped up? Oh! It's an Alan, and that Alan's head just went to Jibu's stinky feet! Wei Han unsurprisingly uncovered Ji Bu Se's old bottom.

Lu Zhe smelled a very strong smell of wine, shook his head, and felt a little helpless: "In broad daylight, you ......", and shook his hand: "Just drink together?" (To be continued......)
