The progress on Kong Yimeng's side would not be too fast, so Xia Luotong didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, there were more important things to prepare for now, which was the emperor's birthday banquet.
This year happens to be the emperor's fiftieth birthday, so the emperor plans to do it well, and at the same time, it also aims to promote the prestige of the Zhou Dynasty and for some purposes that cannot be shared with outsiders.
In short, this year's battle is really big. The three neighboring countries, the Gudan Kingdom in the north, the Poland Kingdom in the southwest, and the Nanlin Kingdom in the south, all sent envoys to celebrate the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In addition to these three major countries, the Southern Barbarians and Northern Barbarians also sent envoys respectively.
The Nanman tribe is located outside the western border, corresponding to the border guarded by Wu Zechen. Because it was beaten by Wu Zechen in the early years and its vitality was damaged, it has been relatively honest in recent years.
However, in the past two years, the Southern Barbarian tribe has gradually recovered its vitality, so there are faint signs of restlessness.
In fact, the main reason was that Wu Zechen, the general of Pingxi, was detained in the capital and could not control the border. Coupled with the signal revealed by the emperor's detention of Wu Zechen, the southern barbarian tribe was a little ready to move again.
As for the Northern Barbarian tribe, it was located outside the northwest border, where the Queen Mother's mother clan, the Si family, guarded.
Although the Si family is not as strong as Wu Zechen, the victory is to be steady and steady. The Si family is also united. In addition, with the support of the Queen Mother behind him, the emperor cannot easily touch the Si family at will, so the northwest has been very stable for so many years.
Although the small wars did not stop, the big wars did not. On the contrary, the emperor had no reason to show off.
The Southern Barbarians and the Northern Barbarians were made up of many small tribes, and were led by the largest tribe. Although they were both tribes, the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Barbarians had constant disputes. The disputes over the years were even greater than those between the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty. many.
The Southern Barbarians and the Northern Barbarians were originally led by the same tribe, but they later split into two large tribes. In addition to the problems left over from history, no one obeyed the other and always wanted to annex the other side, so they could not live in peace at all.
In addition to the missions sent by these five major countries, there are also some neighboring small countries that have also sent missions. However, these small countries are basically dependent on the Great Zhou, so they do not receive as much attention as these five major countries.
As for the envoys from these five major countries, the list of those coming to the Great Zhou this time has also been announced, and the leaders are all important members of the royal family from each country.
The eldest prince from Nanlin is the eldest son of Queen Nanlin. However, the candidate for the prince of Nanlin has not yet been decided, so the eldest prince is not the prince yet.
However, regardless of his origin or the power of his mother's family, this eldest prince is one of the candidates who is most likely to take the throne of the kings.
The person coming from Poland is also a prince, the second prince of Poland. The position of the crown prince of Poland has not been decided yet, but the second prince of Poland is also a strong contender for the crown prince, and he may have the opportunity to sit in the throne in the end. Get in that position.
A princess came from the Southern Barbarian tribe. She was the favorite daughter of the Southern Barbarian Khan. Her mother was of equally noble origin. She came from the royal family of the second largest tribe in the Southern Barbarians. Her status was not simple.
However, among the envoys sent to the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was the most favored princess of the Nanman Khan. This would inevitably make people think too much. They all speculated that the Nanman sent such a princess to the Great Zhou because they wanted to come. Marriage, right?
The person from the Northern Barbarian tribe is the eldest prince and also the prince, so his identity goes without saying.
As for the Gudan Kingdom in the north, the person leading the team this time was also the prince of his country.
However, compared to other countries, the prince of Gudan Kingdom who led the team to Zhou Dynasty is more eye-catching, and even a little unexpected. Obviously, he did not expect that Gudan Kingdom would let this prince come out. Until the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Because this prince of Gudan Kingdom is the only prince of this generation of Gudan Kingdom and the only son of the current king.
With such a single seedling, most countries would not dare to let it go as envoys to other countries at will. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, the consequences will be unbearable.
The current king of Gudan Kingdom has only one wife, the current queen. They gave birth to a son and a daughter, and they have only these two children.
It is precisely because of the special nature of the Gudan Kingdom's only seedling prince that he has attracted everyone's attention and even curiosity early on.
Not to mention the several big countries around, even those small countries, most of the people in power have wives and concubines, surrounded by descendants, but this Gudan Kingdom is different.
Not only was this current king only married to one queen, but the previous old king also had only one queen.
It's just that the old king's queen suddenly died of illness for unknown reasons, which made the old king depressed. Within a few years, he passed the throne to his only son, the current king.
After the first queen died of illness, the old king did not remarry. Instead, he remained single until now and has been guarding the former residence of the first queen.
This matter has already spread throughout all countries, making countless girls from all over the world envious. How great would it be to have such a beloved man?
What's more, he is the king of the Gudan Kingdom, the leader of a country, and he can actually do this, which is really admirable.
Xia Luotong had already read all the information about the envoys from various countries who were envoys to the Great Zhou Dynasty, and silently remembered it in her heart. She knew that the emperor's birthday would not be peaceful, and she would definitely attend, so there were many If you understand something, you will be more confident in dealing with various situations later.
Amid the expectations of everyone in the capital, missions from various countries finally arrived in the capital one after another.
At least one or two groups of envoys would arrive every day. The entire capital was extremely lively, and many people from various countries appeared in the streets and alleys.
Wu Zechen also became busy and went out early almost every day, while Xia Luotong got together with Xi Menghan and Mu Jinyu. The three of them went for walks on the streets from time to time, and also encountered several scenes of envoys entering Beijing. It was really lively.
In the private room of the restaurant facing the street, Xia Luotong looked curiously at the end of the street. At this time, a group of envoys was walking this way. The formation was quite large. Both sides of the street were also crowded with people watching the excitement. The officers and soldiers were It is the two sides of the sub-station that maintain order.
The first time that foreign missions entered Beijing was grand, and seeing that this time it was more lively than any other time, Xia Luotong couldn't help but curiously asked: "Which country is this mission from? Look at this battle, could it be from the five major countries?"
"You really guessed it right, it's the envoy from the Nanman tribe who arrived now." Xi Menghan said while pointing to the front of the team that gradually appeared in the distance.
"Did you see it? The giant wolves at the beginning are the symbols of the tribe. The woman riding the giant wolf is the princess of the Southern Barbarians."
