Spring has begun in the thirty-second year of the reign of Emperor Tatong, and the air in the north still has the chill of early spring. After several months of trekking, the envoys from the southern Xinjiang countries have almost arrived in the capital. Along the way, the envoys from the southern Xinjiang countries have experienced a lot. The prosperous scenery of the Central Plains really opened their eyes and made them admire them.
After traveling all the way, the mission finally arrived at Qingyang. At the city gate, it was Prime Minister Zuo Huo Zheng who personally led hundreds of officials to greet the mission members.
After the mission entered the city, the people of Qingyang voluntarily came forward to watch these foreigners in fancy clothes. In the past, countries also came to pay tribute, but now there are tens of thousands of people in front of the missions of more than a dozen countries. It is still very rare to come to pay tribute, and it is said to be a rare occurrence in a hundred years.
Along the way, Prime Minister Zuo Zheng, an evergreen figure in the political arena, accompanied the envoys from all over the world to Qingyang Posthouse to settle down and stay, with a smile on their face, waiting for the emperor's summons.
Huo Zheng chatted with King Zhennan all the way and said with a smile: "His Majesty called on King Zhennan to call all the countries in southern Xinjiang to come and pay tribute to Longyan Dayue. He specially ordered the Prime Minister to personally come to receive King Zhennan on behalf of His Majesty."
Mu Sheng smiled and said: "Master Xiangguo, you are so polite! If you can trouble me to come out of the city to greet you in person, I am very lucky. I am really admiring the strength and prosperity of your country during this trip. Your country covers thousands of miles and has a vast territory. , It has never happened in ancient times. This king has lived in southern Xinjiang for generations, and it is not until today that he has seen what it means to be in a state of dynasty."
Huo Zheng was inexplicably happy when he saw King Zhennan praising the Jin Dynasty so much. After all, who doesn't like foreigners praising their own country?
Huo Zheng heard the words, waved his hands and said with a smile: "Where! Where! King Zhennan, you are so polite. I heard that under your leadership, the mountain puppets are also in southern Xinjiang. I heard that Taisha, who has a million people, is not Zhennan. Nan Wang’s rival?”
Mu Sheng said politely: "Master Xiangguo smiled. If this southern expedition was not directed by the Jin army, how could Taisha submit so easily? I only made a little effort from the side, and my contribution is not worth mentioning... "
Along the way, the two sides had a traditional business exchange.
After Huo Zheng finished speaking, he saw that King Zhennan was accompanied by Ahrami, the patriarch of the Laima Kingdom. It can be said that the empire's second southern expedition was for the great cause of restoring the country to the silver-haired woman in front of him. They were also working together in the Taiji Palace. However, the emperor's trust in her was not as high as his own.
Huo Zheng stepped forward to greet the patriarch again, and Ahrami started chatting with him in a calm tone...
After a stick of incense, the envoys from all nations arrived at the posthouse in the east of the city. The posthouse specially prepared by the Jin Dynasty for the envoys was a posthouse, and its building scale was not as big as a royal palace. This shows that the emperor was very concerned about the mission's visit. Attention.
Mu Sheng himself was fine. He had lived in the capital for almost ten years, and he had already seen strange things. However, after the envoys from various ethnic groups in southern Xinjiang who were traveling with them entered the post house, they couldn't help but look left and right at the tall and magnificent building, marveling at it.
After the Right Prime Minister Huo Zheng left the post house, he accompanied Chen Jie (gu), the Dianke of the Nine Qing Dynasties, and his subordinates to arrange for the foreign mission to meet the son. This Dianke, one of the Nine Qing Dynasties, was mainly responsible for this matter.
Chen Jie stepped forward to greet him and said, "Chen Jie, the guest of honor, is here to see the King of Zhennan. From now on, I will be responsible for the matters of meeting his son."
Mu Sheng bowed his hands and said, "Okay, Master Chen, what do you have to say?"
Chen Yan said: "That's right. Your Majesty is very happy to hear that the King of Zhennan has come to pay homage in person. He specifically orders you to enter the court without hesitation and to go to the palace with swords and shoes."
Mu Sheng looked surprised and saluted from a distance in the direction of Jin Palace: "Thank you for your majesty's long live. I am really flattered by your majesty's kindness..."
Chen Yan also laughed and said: "King Zhennan may not know that for such kindness, only Prince Tuli of the Dongyue clan of the Huns tribe has this honor. Your Majesty does not ignore you, the king!"
After hearing this, Mu Sheng thanked the emperor repeatedly for his kindness. He had the highest status among the envoys, and as the leader of the country, he came to the court in person. Naturally, Chen Jie accompanied him throughout the whole process and explained to Mu Sheng in detail the various precautions and precautions for the emperor's audience. Etiquette, he actually doesn't need to do this, Mu Sheng also knows it very well. Unfortunately, his status is different now, so he has to pretend to be the first time he comes to the Central Plains...
After sending Chen Jie away, Mu Sheng frowned and heard him mention Ruimuqiu, King of Tuli of the Dongyue clan of the Huns. Suddenly, a beautiful image flashed in his mind, which was the flower of the grassland, Ruimuyi.
Since the end of the last Ali Mutai Conference, there has been no news from Ruimui. Maybe he has already married a long time ago!
Mu Sheng also knew in his heart that he and Ruimu Yi might not have been destined to each other! Suddenly thinking of his old friend, he couldn't help but sigh and sigh in his heart.
Three days later, envoys from the imperial court came to the posthouse to announce the decree, and envoys from the southern Xinjiang countries went to the Jin Palace to see the emperor. Mu Sheng put on the prince's crown given to him by the imperial court and went to the palace to pay homage to the emperor as the master of the mountain puppet.
The envoys from all over the world entered the palace and followed the palace guards all the way to the Sihaiguiyi Palace. Due to the large number of envoys, the envoys from all over the world met the son in batches.
Among all the countries that came to see the son, the mountain puppets were the strongest, so the first echelon to meet the son must be the mountain puppets represented by King Zhennan.
Mu Sheng returned to the main hall from all over the world with thousands of his followers, Shi Shiran, and saw the supreme emperor sitting in front of the court, sitting high on the dragon throne. In the main hall, a group of ministers sat solemnly on both sides.
The mountain puppet envoys came forward and knelt down in unison and shouted: "His Majesty the Emperor, long live, long live, long live!"
After three bows and nine kowtows, a soft voice came from the throne: "Pingshen"
After the ceremony, the King of the South of Shanpu Town led the crowd out. According to the etiquette of the Jin Dynasty, the congratulatory form that had been prepared long ago was read out in front of the public. After the reading was completed, the emperor nodded slightly, and Mu Sheng asked the entourage behind him to bring Shanpu over. The gifts were presented one by one, and the visitors in the palace took the list of tributes handed over by King Zhennan and began to read it out in court.
The visitor said: "The puppet leader of Nanyu Mountain, Borges, has paid tribute to the King of Zhennan, with ten Eastern pearls, ten pairs of rhinoceros-horned beast wine cups, and a hundred pieces of brocade..."
After the eunuch finished reciting, Mu Sheng waved, and four envoys came forward carrying a wooden box. After opening the wooden box, a black meteorite was placed on the tray. Just as the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not understand that this was When something.
Mu Sheng tossed his robes and stepped forward, cupping his hands to salute the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, apart from these national gifts, when I was preparing to set off, one night, on the shore of the South China Sea, the stars shone brightly, and there was a magic iron on it. However, four symbols were formed. I, the lord of the vassal state, really couldn't understand the meaning of them. I searched all the shamans in the clan for divination and found out that these four symbols were Chinese characters. According to legend, only when a saint comes to this world can such a miracle happen. I feel that this is something strange, and there are Chinese characters engraved on it. I think that this strange thing is in response to the call from the superior, and I borrow my hand to present it to Your Majesty. I also feel that my emperor has cleared the world and wiped out the princes. And with the help of the people below, the Central Plains will be unified, the four seas will be unified, and the people below will not suffer from the chaos. Only with such immeasurable merits will the auspiciousness come to the world. Your Majesty, please come and see the sacred objects."
When the emperor heard this, his heart was shocked, and he walked out of his throne to observe the meteorite. After hearing this, all the officials in the court also whispered to each other and discussed...
Prime Minister Zuo Huo Zheng also accompanied the emperor to inspect this sacred object. He saw that around the dark meteorite, there were faint ravines, forming four large characters "Heshan Yonggu".
After the left prime minister Huo Zheng finished reading slowly, he looked excited, turned around and bowed to the emperor and said: "Long live the great Jin Dynasty, long live your majesty. I have observed it and found that the words written on this sacred iron are indeed formed. Zhennan Wang Jin presented this sacred object, which means that our country will be forever consolidated, and this is a great blessing!"
Upon hearing this, the ministers in the palace came forward to observe the divine iron one after another. Dragon farts were flying all of a sudden, and they all congratulated the emperor. This was a good omen and good luck!
When the emperor heard this, he laughed loudly and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I have obtained this magical object. I will announce it and the envoys will hear it. From today on, I will declare a general amnesty. Let the people rejoice and celebrate together."
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty saluted and said: "Long live my emperor, Your Majesty is kind and virtuous."
Seeing this, Mu Sheng nodded secretly. Sure enough, as soon as the auspicious sign came out, the whole hall suddenly felt like a flattering person...
When the civil and military officials saw King Zhennan standing next to the emperor, they secretly complained in their hearts, how could this barbarian chief understand the gameplay of the Central Plains so well? He is really the leader in the world of flattery! Such deeds will be written into history books in the future, and they are not allowed to be publicized? The backstory of this piece of shit is actually made up with a nose and eyes, it really belongs to you! …
The emperor turned his head and looked at King Zhennan, and said kindly: "I don't know how to reward you for this great gift from your beloved. I love you so much."
Mu Sheng waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I don't know Chinese characters, so I didn't know that this sacred object has such a meaning. I dare not ask for a reward from Your Majesty. As long as Your Majesty likes it, I will be satisfied."
When the emperor heard this, he took the hand of King Zhennan and said: "Alas! What are you talking about? You are not joking. I am very happy today. I love you, you can come. As long as I can do what I can, I will definitely meet your needs. .”
Mu Sheng smiled slightly, bowed and said: "Since your Majesty is like this, I have only one request. I would like to ask your Majesty to inscribe a painting. It is a pity that I am far away from the southern border and cannot serve in front of the emperor all the time. If I can get your Majesty's The handwritten calligraphy treasure should be hung in the quiet room of the cultivation room to admire it every day. This is to remind me to always cherish the kindness of the emperor. From now on, I will always be in southern Xinjiang. From now on, I, the mountain puppet, will go up and down the country to promote the teachings of the Central Plains in southern Xinjiang. In order to benefit all the people in our southern border, I also ask for your majesty’s favor.”
When the emperor heard this, of course he understood the implication. He wanted to use Jin's tiger skin to dominate southern Xinjiang. It depends on how you express your stance.
The emperor laughed and asked, "Is that all?"
Mu Sheng said respectfully: "I don't dare to overstep my bounds, that's all."
The emperor said nonchalantly: "Well, I will write an inscription for Aiqing..."
The emperor returned to the throne and sent someone to get some fine cloth. With a stroke of his pen, he wrote a line of handwriting and handed it over to the King of Zhennan, with the four characters "Protect the country and the people".
Mu Sheng secretly cursed the old fox in his heart. At least the emperor's attitude was clear. He did not want him to cause trouble in southern Xinjiang. It was best to maintain the status quo.
Mu Sheng deliberately pretended not to recognize him and said, "What do these words, Your Majesty, mean? Please teach me, Your Majesty."
The emperor smiled and said: "My dear! These four words are called "protecting the environment and ensuring the people", which means protecting the people of a place to live and work in peace and contentment. My dear, you can rest assured that the people of your country are also the people of my country. I will never allow anyone to Insulting the mountain puppet, if anyone dares to spy on the mountain puppet, he must ask about the sword in my hand..."
