Tian Tong is also a person who has been in officialdom for a long time, of course, he can hear the meaning of the plateau, that is, Liu Xu must be severely punished, otherwise he may really leave Linzi in anger and return to Daijun.

Of course, it is understandable for Gao Yuan to do this, because the atmosphere at this time is like this, the so-called grace of a meal must be repaid, and the revenge of the eyes must be avenged. What's more, now Gao Yuan does not represent an individual, but an envoy of a country, representing the face of the entire Dai County, of course, Liu Xu cannot be taken lightly.

Therefore, Tian Tong said: "Lord Shangqing, please rest assured, I can guarantee that I will severely punish Liu Xu." After finishing speaking, he immediately ordered Liu Xu to be arrested and dealt with.

Tian Tong's entourage heard this, and immediately rushed up, cutting Liu Xu's arms behind his back, Liu Xu even struggled a few times, but did not break free, and couldn't help but change his face greatly, and shouted: "Doctor Tian, what are you doing here?" I'm also an official of the imperial court, why do you want to arrest me. ”

Tian Tong said sharply: "You deliberately neglect the envoy of Daijun and damage the dignity of my Qi country, shouldn't you be arrested?" You just wait for the king's punishment. ”

Although Tian Tong also knew that Liu Xu was a backstage person, but this time Liu Xu really went too far, the original Daijun mission was robbed halfway, and Qi Guo was already very faceless, and in Linzi City, a small pavilion official actually dared to be rude to the mission, if this was spread out, Qi would definitely become the laughing stock of all countries, so this time even Qi Wangjian would not be kind to Liu Xu. Take Liu Xu down, even Liu Xu's backstage has no way.

After escorting Liu Xu down, Tian Tongcai said to Gao Yuan again: "Lord Shangqing, is it possible to calm the anger of Lord Shangqing by dealing with it like this?" ”

In fact, Gao Yuan is not such a very special person, but he is not reluctant to Liu Xu and forces Tian Tong to deal with Liu Xu, it is not as simple as just a bad breath, because Liu Xu is making things difficult for himself, obviously he is instructed by others, and he is not familiar with the place of life when he first arrives in Qi State, so the person who instructs Liu Xu to make things difficult for himself can only be obtained without asking, only after victory. It is difficult for him to come forward to deal with himself now, so he has to instruct such little minions to create some small troubles for himself in some places that do not hurt or itch.

As the saying goes, the king of Hades is good, the little ghosts are difficult, don't look at the official position of these people is not high, but they hold the actual power at the grassroots level, and they are not clear about some of the stakes, they can be used as an arrow with a chicken feather, if they really make trouble for themselves, it will indeed make them very embarrassed, so they forced Tian Tong to immediately catch Liu Xu, and also give these little ghosts a dismount, so that they know that they are not something they can be provoked lightly, and they are in a hurry, and they can't even protect them from winning the future.

Therefore, seeing that Tian Tong ordered Liu Xu to be arrested, Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, since that's the case, it's okay to stay in the next place." ”

Tian Tong also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said, "Then please ask Lord Shangqing to rest in the pavilion first." ”

Gao Yuan entered the pavilion with Tian Tong, and his pavilion officials arranged a room to stay, because Lin Wenqing had not yet contacted Liu Hong, who had arrived in Linzi in advance, so he also temporarily lived in the pavilion with Gao Yuan. In fact, the whole pavilion was also alarmed by this uproar just now, so it also attracted many people to watch and discuss.

The room was arranged, Ling Feng commanded the accompanying soldiers to arrange and guard, and Gao Yuan accompanied Tian Huan and Tian Simao to sit down in the hall, Gao Yuan asked: "Doctor Tian, are the envoys of those countries to Qi now?" ”

Tian Tong said: "Now the envoys of Yan, Wei, and Chu have all arrived in Linzi, and only the envoys of Qin have not yet arrived. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Who are the envoys of various countries?"

Tian Tong said: "The envoy of the Yan State is Shangqing Jing Ke, the envoy of the Wei State is Wei Zeng, the king of Ancheng of the Xiangguo, and the envoy from the Chu State is Taishi Jingtai. ”

Gao Yuan nodded, it seems that all the countries sent are important ministers, since they are Wei and Chu, they are basically important ministers who can make decisions at home, and it is not just as simple as participating in the birthday of Qi Wangjian, but taking this opportunity to talk with other families about the matter of conniving against Qin.

Everyone talked for a while, and someone came to report that Qi Wangjian wanted to recruit the envoys of Daijun. Gao Yuan also immediately changed his official uniform and went to the palace with Tian Tong to meet Qi Wangjian.

The palace of Qi is the same as the palace of Zhao, it is a city within a city, but from the visual point of view, the scale of the palace of the king of Qi is much larger than the palace of the king of Zhao, it is the main hall of the palace, the length and width reach nearly fifty meters, the pedestal alone is as high as nearly ten meters, the momentum is magnificent, there are stone steps all around, all are paved with bluestone, as many as more than 50 steps, white jade railing, the edge is carved with exquisite patterns, and the two sides are full of armor soldiers holding Changge.

In front of the main hall, it is an extremely wide square, the size of two football fields, and the side halls around the square are also covered with huge tiles, and the vermilion mud is avoided, and the white stone is the step. Judging from the scale and magnificence of this main hall alone, it is not inferior to the three major halls of the Forbidden City later.

Gao Yuan and Tian Tong walked through the square and went up the steps, and the two stopped at a place where there were more than ten steps from the top of the main hall, Tian Tong said: "Lord Shangqing, please wait here, let me go in and report to my king." ”

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Doctor, please." ”

After Tian Tong entered the hall, after a while, he saw a eunuch on the steps and said: "The king has an edict, and the envoy of the county will come in to see him." ”

Only then did the plateau climb the last few steps, go up to the main hall, only to see that every hall pillar needs two people to hug, and carved beams and painted buildings, gold ornaments and silver, it looks extremely luxurious.

The eunuch said, "Please come with me." With that, he led the plateau into the main hall.

The inside of the hall is also very wide, the length and width are more than 30 meters, two rows of big pillars are erected in the hall, carved with the cloud water pan dragon, an old man with a crown on the high seat in the middle should be Qi Wangjian. There are dozens of ministers standing on the left and right, including Tian Pei and Tian Kezang.

Now that Gao Yuan is the identity of the envoy, of course he should make a big gift to King Qi Jianxing, so he knelt on the ground and said: "Li Yi, the envoy of the acting county, has seen the king, and may the king live forever." ”

Qi Wang Jiandao: "Shangqing is flat. ”

Gao Yuan said: "King Xie." Standing up, he said: "Wu Anjun, the lord of the ministers, heard that the king's birthday was approaching, so he prepared a slight gift to congratulate the king, and wished the king blessings like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

Qi Wangjian said with a smile: "'Blessing is like the East China Sea, longevity is better than Nanshan', it is the first time that the widow has heard of such words, and the words of Lord Shangqing are not inferior to the way of using soldiers." ”

Gao Yuan thought in his heart, it seems that these two commonly used birthday words in later generations have not appeared in this era, and said: "The king has won the prize." So saying, he presented the gift slip and ordered the gift to be brought up.

The country of Qi is rich, of course, there is no shortage of money, but Daijun has its own specialties of Daijun, in addition to gold and jade, there is also a white tiger skin, four good horses, which is definitely a rare item in Qi.

Qi Wangjian was also very happy, and immediately ordered the gift to be put into the inner treasury, and said: "Thank you for your kindness to Wu Anjun." He added: "Shangqing, please rest assured, Huang Jingyuan was so bold and reckless that he dared to ambush Shangqing and his party halfway, and the widow would not forgive him." ”

Gao Yuan said: "King Shengming." ”

At this moment, a minister came out and said: "Great King, since it was Huang Jingyuan who ambushed the acting county Shangqing, then how to deal with Huang Jingyuan, let Li Shangqing decide if he does not visit, so as to show that my Grand Duke of Qi is selfless, and I can also calm the anger of Shangqing." ”

Qi Wangjian was stunned, nodded, and said, "That's fine, Shangqing thinks that what should be done with Huang Jingyuan?" ”

In the minister's train, Tian Kezang's heart moved, of course, he knew that this Jian Yiyi seemed to be good for the plateau, but it was actually a clever means for Hou Sheng to push his own responsibility, because Huang Jingyuan was a person from Hou Sheng's camp, and he was also ordered by Hou Sheng to rob the caravan, so it was reasonable for Hou Sheng to save Huang Jingyuan's life. But this time, Huang Jingyuan really couldn't intercede for Huang Jingyuan, so he simply pushed it to Gao Yuan.

If Gao Yuan asks for Huang Jingyuan to be dealt with strictly, Hou Sheng can take the opportunity to shift the responsibility to Gao Yuan and divert the attention of his people, and Huang Jingyuan is the minister of Qi after all, regardless of whether Huang Jingyuan deserves it or not, but Gao Yuan's request to deal with Huang Jingyuan strictly will undoubtedly offend the vast majority of officials of Qi State. And if Tian Kezhang and the plateau get along, it will also cause the dissatisfaction of the ministers of Qi, if the plateau can't withstand this pressure and asks Huang Jingyuan to be lightly dropped, then he just borrowed the ladder to go down the wall, and he can just claim that he saved Huang Jingyuan's life. It can also be said that Hou Sheng's hand is indeed very clever. Therefore, Tian Kezang's heart was also quite nervous, and he didn't know how Gao Yuan would respond.

Gao Yuan was so different that he arched his hand to the official of Qi who spoke, and said, "I don't know what kind of official position this lord has and what his official position is." ”

The official said: "Under Dong Quan, he is now the chief manager. ”

The official system of Qi State, in addition to Xiangguo, also has a chief secretary, who is in charge of communicating with envoys from various countries; Da Si Tian, who is in charge of the method of raising troops in Tuntian; Da Sima, who is in charge of conscription and warfare; The chief manager, who is in charge of the main official positions such as criminal law enforcement.

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "As you know, the Grand Boss is responsible for the enforcement of criminal laws for the Qi State. ”

Dong Quandao: "Not bad. ”

Gao Yuan said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, Huang Jingyuan is the minister of Qi, and the crimes he committed are also in Qi, not to mention that Qi has its own laws of Qi. Therefore, it should still be dealt with by the relevant officials of Qi State in accordance with the laws of Qi State. After a pause, he turned to the king of Qi and said: "The king, when the foreign ministers were in the county, they also knew that the king was still the king of the Holy Ming, and the ministers of the Qi country were all fair and courteous ministers, and they would never cheat for personal gain, and they would definitely give a fair explanation to the foreign ministers and the envoys of other countries." ”
