Chapter 704: Clichés
Lu Chengqi enthusiastically copied the words of the envoys of the two countries, and got the information he wanted in a quiet voice. Although I know that there must be inaccuracies in the words www.biquge.info of the envoys of these two countries, I also know that the rice in these two countries is good. "Well, go back and ask someone to bring some back, if you go to sea now, you should be just in time for spring ploughing."
The messenger said that he was addicted to it, and began to boast about Angkor Thom: "I am twenty miles around the city of Zhizhou, and there are five gates, each with two gates. However, there are two doors in the east direction, and one door in the remaining directions. Outside the city, there are bridges outside the city. There are fifty-four stone gods on both sides of the bridge, such as the shape of the stone general, very huge and hideous. All five doors are similar. The bridge is all stone, chiseled into a snake, the snake is nine-headed, and the fifty-four gods are all pulling out the snake with their hands, and there is a tendency to not allow it to escape. There are five large stone Buddha heads above the city gate, facing west. One of them in the middle, decorated with gold. On both sides of the door, the chiseled stone is pictographic. The city is stacked with stones, but two zhang, the stone is very strong around the temple, and there is no grass, but there is no female wall. Above the city, there are occasionally planted with nut trees, and empty houses abound. Its introversion is like a slope, and it can be more than ten feet thick. There are gates on the slopes, which close at night and open early. There are also prisoners, but dogs are not allowed to enter. The city is very square, and there is a stone tower on each side, and those who have been beheaded are not allowed to enter. In the midst of the kingdom, there is a golden pagoda. There are more than 20 stone towers next to it, more than 100 stone houses, east to the golden bridge, a golden lion two, listed on the left and right of the bridge, eight bodies of the golden Buddha, listed under the stone house. The golden pagoda can be one mile to the north, and there is a copper tower. It is more tall than the golden pagoda, and it is depressed, and there are more than a dozen stone houses under it. and a mile to the north, the house of the lord of the country. There is a golden pagoda in its bedroom, so the foreign merchants have rich and noble people who want to do this. The stone tower goes out of the south gate for more than half a mile, and it is said that Lu Bang caused Lu Bang tomb overnight. It is about one mile outside the south gate, and there are hundreds of stone houses around it. The east pond is ten miles east of the city, and the surrounding area can be hundreds of miles. There are stone towers, stone houses, there is a reclining bronze Buddha in the tower, and there is often water flowing out of the umbilicus. Beichi is in the north of the city five miles, there is a golden square tower, dozens of stone houses, golden lions, golden Buddhas, bronze elephants, copper bulls, copper horses all have.
The National Palace and the Imperial Mansion are both facing east. The National Palace is in the north of the Golden Pagoda and the Golden Bridge, near the gate, and the surroundings can be five or six miles. The tiles of the main room are made of lead, and the rest are clay tiles. The yellow bridge pillars are huge, all carved in the shape of Buddha. The roof is magnificent, the corridor is restored, abrupt and uneven, and there is a slight scale. There is a gold fence in the place where it is located, and there are mirrors on the left and right square pillars, about forty or fifty sides, which are placed next to the window. Below it is a pictogram. There are many places in the smell, and the prohibition is very strict, and it is not possible to see it. In the middle of the golden pagoda, the lord of the country lies on it at night. Secondly, such as the house of the minister of the state, the system is vast, and it is very different from ordinary people. The surrounding area is covered with grass, and the exclusive temple and the main bed are allowed to be tiled. They also follow the rank of their officials, thinking that the house is wide and narrow. Below it is like a grass cover for the people's houses, and the tiles dare not go up to the house. Although its breadth and narrowness follow the rich and poor of the family, they dare not follow the government system."
I have to admire this envoy of the Zhenla Kingdom, the ancient text is more slippery than Lu Chengqi. Fortunately, the evil made up for it, and I really don't know what the hell he's talking about. Even so, it was only a rough idea: this Angkor Thom is quite majestic, and even if there is something untrue in his words, it should be almost the same.
Where will the envoy of the Champa country let him stand out, and when he finished speaking, he said: "Your Majesty, I occupy the capital of Xinzhou, which is also very prosperous, and all countries come to sea trade, and the products are abundant, there are elephants, ivory, rhino horns, peacock tails, green feathers, turtle tubes, six-legged turtles, gems, corals, slice brains, rice brains, bran brains, brain oil, brain firewood, rose water, bowl stones, Ding bark, Afoet, purple stems, vine exhaustion, garcinia cambogia, sulfur, myrrh, udada mud, benzoin, Luo Hu incense, fast incense, sandalwood, yellow ripe incense, Zhenzhen incense, **, tree incense, wood incense, cloves, black incense, pepper, sumac, nutmeg, white cardamom, long pepper, ebony, large maple and sahara, all kinds of cloth"
As everyone knows, Lu Chengqi is worried that there is no place to make money, and when he heard that these Southeast Asian countries are so rich, he smiled evilly in his heart: "Show off your wealth now, and you will cry in the future."
At this time, Feng Chengping had already finished drafting the covenant and handed it over to Lu Chengqi for review. Lu Chengqi glanced at it and felt that there was no problem, and the obligations and rights were clearly written. Lu Chengqi also disdained to manipulate the covenant, so he said: "Let's take a look at it first, if there is any objection, it's not too late to discuss." ”
The envoys of the two countries read it seriously and said in unison: "Your Majesty, we have no objection. ”
Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Very good, the Ministry of Rites, I bother you to draw up two more copies, and after each of them signs and draws a seal, the covenant will be completed." ”
"Obey the order!"
Feng Chengping immediately wrote two more copies and handed them to the envoys of the two countries word for word. Seeing that there was no objection, the envoys of the two countries signed and stamped their seals. Lu Chengqi didn't need to sign, he only instructed Gao Hao to invite the jade seal of the country, and after stamping it with the words "Ordered by the sky, both longevity and eternal prosperity", the covenant was completed.
In the end, Lu Chengqi gave them a banquet and the right to "tribute trade", allowing the purchase of treasures and goods of Dashun, of course, contraband is not in this list. It was also decreed that officials from the Ministry of Rites should accompany them to tourist attractions and historical sites and purchase "Tuyi" native products, which can be regarded as the best treatment for foreign envoys since Lu Chengqi took power.
The envoys of these two countries were grateful for their kindness, and they were led by the chamberlains to the feast. On the Chongzheng Palace, there are only two left, Lu Chengqi and Feng Chengping.
"Feng Qing, do you have something to say to me?" Lu Chengqi knew that his style was more similar to that of politicians in later generations, and he didn't care about any "benevolence and righteousness" at all, as long as it was beneficial to Dashun, he would do it. This is also what Feng Chengping criticized, how can a big country do this?
"The minister wants to advise Your Majesty, how can these vassal states be truly obedient if they are so unkind? Mencius said that those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help. Widows are helpless, relatives are on the side. If you help more, the world will follow it. With the world's obedience, attack the relatives of the side, so the gentleman does not fight, the battle will be won. Your Majesty's move, how can you bring a small country back to its heart? ”
Lu Chengqi sneered: "The previous invasion of the Central Plains, the invasion of Champong, and the invasion of Goryeo, why didn't you say it?" If they are not of my race, their hearts will be different, how can they be treated as friends? What I am doing today is nothing more than for the sake of the country and the people of Dashun. Could it be that Feng Qing forgot the Xiongnu and Turks at the beginning? ”
Feng Chengping smiled bitterly: "This time and that time."
Lu Chengqi shook his head: "No, there are no eternal friends between countries, only eternal interests. If I am weak, then someone will beat me and I will be strong, and then you can beat others. This is the case in the world, and there is no diplomacy for a weak country! ”
Feng Chengping was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Then Your Majesty should not covet the money and food of his country, my Dashun is just a temporary difficulty, how can I weaken the prestige of the kingdom of heaven?" ”
Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "This old man's skull is broken" and said: "This is Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to beat and the other is willing to suffer." My great shun is majestic and majestic, not from the mouth of the tongue, but from the type. Since I sent troops to help, I want them to pay for food. It's like going to a landlord's house to rent a field and farming, but you also need to pay tenant rent, right? ”
Feng Chengping was speechless for a while, but he still said "ironcladly": "Your Majesty's words are strong, and the actions of the unkind are not benevolent, and the ministers dare not agree." ”
Lu Chengqi said indifferently: "I only be the benevolent monarch of the people of Dashun, what kind of benevolent person, I am not rare!" "To be continued.
