Chapter 54 Birdman
Izumo Country is actually one of the Japanese governments, belonging to the Yama**, commonly known as Yunzhou.
Nowadays, Japan is in a period of war and division, with princes from all over the country fighting for power and profit, and Izumo Kingdom is one of them.
In this era, the Ming Dynasty is the most respected in the world. As long as you can hold the Ming Dynasty and get the support of the Ming Dynasty, will it be a matter of minutes to lead the Japanese Kingdom?
Therefore, there are many princes in Japan who have such thoughts. For example, Yagyu, but Ma Shou chose to surrender to the Lord of God. The king of Izumo chose to marry.
Now, the marriage team has arrived in the capital.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was the supreme country of the Celestial Empire. Even if Izumo Kingdom sent a princess, it would not be so easy to meet the emperor, so I have to listen to Xuan.
However, generally speaking, in order to demonstrate the great power of the Celestial Empire, foreign envoys usually come to the court, and the emperor will personally receive them and reward some treasures. It can be said that in this era, tribute to China is definitely a good deal, let alone a marriage. How can we marry the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty be less beneficial?
When I was greeted by the Izumo Kingdom mission, I could not get rid of the matter and could not lose the majesty of the Izumo Kingdom. All procedures were arranged, and it was too late to go to court. Ye Jun simply waved his hand and asked Guanglu Temple to prepare a dinner to receive the Izumo Kingdom mission.
In history, whenever a foreign delegation arrives, a banquet is indispensable.
What's more, Ye Jun also had other considerations when holding a dinner.
If he had guessed correctly, the real Izumo Kingdom mission would have been destroyed long ago. The mission that came to the capital was actually pretended to be the subordinates of the Holy Marquis. For example, Karasuma, the princess who seemed to be beautiful but was actually older than men was also pretended to be a shemale man.
The Shenhou sent these people to pretend to be the mission of Izumo Kingdom and said that it would be impossible without tricks.
So, Ye Jun simply gave them a chance.
After preparing for it, the entire palace was brightly lit at night. The Ming Dynasty originally held a banquet in Fengtian Hall, but since Emperor Xuande started, it was changed to the Meridian Gate.
When night fell, a sharp sound rang:
"The Emperor is here"
"The Queen Mother is here!"
The music sounded, and Ye Jun personally helped this luxurious old lady to take her seat.
"Your Majesty, I heard that you haven't been out for more than a month in order to refine elixirs for the Ai family? Look at you so thin... The Ai family doesn't ask for magical pills. Come and see the Ai family more often, and the Ai family will naturally live for a hundred years!" The empress dowager patted his hand and whispered.
"My son is guilty!" Ye Jun sighed. After all, he has nothing to do with this old lady. It is really difficult to be filial to his mother, and it is really hard to do it every day. Moreover, Ye Jun knew that the old lady in front of him seemed confused, but in fact she understood everything in her heart. The first person who saw that the God Marquis had a strange intention was the queen mother. Ye Jun was also worried that he would contact the other party too much, so that the other party could notice something.
"You, you have loved playing guns and sticks since you were a child, and I didn't care about you. But you still don't have a single daughter. How can you let me be the queen of the mother? If I go one day, I will not have the shame to see your father." The queen mother said earnestly, "Today is a good opportunity. Although Izumo is a small place, most of their princesses are also ladies. If they look good, they will be recruited into the palace. If they can give birth to a Lin'er for you, it would be nothing."
Ye Jun dared not refute, so he could only smile bitterly and nod.
The emperor and the empress dowager both arrived, and the next one was the princes and ministers, and the leader was the iron gall god-sacred marquis Zhu Wushi. Then officials of the fourth rank and above took their seats one by one. Officials of the fourth rank and below could only stay outside.
Next, the ministers saluted the emperor and the empress dowager, and then taught the music and danced.
This song and dance are also of particular importance. If you are a banquet, you play the song of "The Song of the Flame Essence" which is a song of merit. However, in order to summon foreign envoys, you will generally play the song of "The Song of the Imperial Wind" in order to show the majesty of a great country, and the dance is different. You are dancing martial arts, called "The Dance of Palmizing the World" and dance swords and swords. It is extraordinary. If you give foreign envoys a sensation, it is a principle to invite foreign guests to attend the military parade in later generations.
At this time, the Izumo Kingdom messengers were waiting outside and you could see the martial artist dance. When the dance music was over, you heard the call of the call:
"The Xuantuiyun Kingdom Mission's Mission will meet!"
The two walked in from outside the door.
This is Princess Rishui and the messenger Karasuma of Izumo Kingdom. As for the others, they are not qualified to enter the main hall at all.
"Izumo's envoy, Wu Wan, to meet the Emperor of Ming Dynasty!" Wu Wan was a middle-aged man with a fat face and looked like a corrupt official who was eating fat and intestines. But no one would have thought that this man had a very high martial arts skills, and even Duan Tianya was not sure that he could defeat Wu Wan.
Next to Karasuma was a woman in red, covered with a veil and lowered her head, unable to see clearly. But judging from her graceful figure, she was definitely not bad. She couldn't even give her a kiss if she was not good.
Looking at this figure and back, you will definitely kill thousands of troops in seconds. Unfortunately, you are a bird man! Ye Jun thinks it’s a pity, why are all good-looking men?
The empress dowager sitting next to the emperor nodded with satisfaction and whispered: "Son of the Emperor, I think the princess of Izumo Country is quite good, why don't this matter be settled?"
That's it???
When Ye Jun shuddered when he thought of the wedding candle, the other party took it out bigger than himself.
"My mother, let's take a look first!" Ye Jun haha, waved his hand, and said, "Izumo's envoy, Wuhuan, you have just arrived in the Ming Dynasty and have not seen the customs and customs of our Ming Dynasty. Tomorrow, I will let someone take you and Princess Lixiu around and feel the scenery of our Ming Dynasty!"
Wuhuan couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, our trip is for marriage. Let's put the matter of travel aside for the time being. Please make sure that the emperor decides the marriage first so that we can go back and have an explanation."
Just kidding, decide on a marriage matter? Let me marry that "Birdman"? Even in name only, it's not good. It's so disgusting!
"No hurry to do this, drink! Everyone will not return drunk tonight!" Ye Jun raised his glass, what else can others say?
A hint of anger flashed in Wuhuan's eyes, but turned around and saw the Shenhou sitting beside him shook his head slightly, and could only retreat honestly.
"Li Xiu is willing to dance for the emperor's sword!" Princess Li Xiu, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly spoke, her voice was like a silver flute, bright and transparent.
"Oh? I didn't expect that the princess of Izumo Country could dance swords?" Ye Jun smiled.
"slow!"
Suddenly, the Lord of God said to stop him and said, "Today is a big banquet, how can you dance with a sword and a gun? What's more, what if you disturb the Queen Mother, wouldn't it be a death sentence?"
"Forget it, women's home, what does it look like when they are dancing with swords and guns!" The empress dowager also waved her hand. Who doesn't want her daughter-in-law to be a well-educated lady? Now, the empress dowager has a much worse impression of Princess Lixiu.
Princess Lixiu could only retreat with unwillingness on her face.
Ye Jun could guess the other party’s thoughts.
Princess Lixiu was originally sent by the Lord of God to assassinate him, and most of them wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of sword dancing. However, Lord of God now knows that Ye Jun is very skilled in martial arts and knows that if Lixiu takes action, he will definitely not be able to succeed, and instead will expose himself. So he immediately stopped Princess Lixiu. After all, the most safe time to deal with a man is still in bed. As long as Princess Lixiu becomes a concubine, there will be opportunities in the future.
