Chapter 217 Tribute to the Fuyu Dynasty
\\"By the way, what have you been doing these few days?" Yang Xin didn't just think that Sima Ji had disappeared for a few days, but was embarrassed to ask directly. After talking about the main business, she began to inquire indirectly.
"Come around!" Sima Ji lied with a plain expression. He was lustful, but he was not as good as he could not hold on to the point. He thought Yang Xin shouldn't know some arrangements, so he would never tell the other party. Instead, he said, "The King of Fuyu went to Luoyang to pay tribute in person this time. Youzhou is the only way to go. He should be here in the next few days. At that time, he will give Jicheng a few days off."
"Why!" Yang Xin was a little surprised. In her eyes, the King of Yan was a prince who ignored the lives of the people. When did he actually start to be kind and ask, "Does the prisoners of Goguryeo also include?"
"Of course it includes!" Sima Ji replied affirmatively, "Do you think I only know how to exploit the people? Of course it is not wrong to think so, but I have a balance in my heart. It is impossible to have a casual vacation, and it is reasonable to take a vacation through the Fuyu Dynasty tribute."
The King of Fuyu paid tribute in person, and this specification is already very high. For ordinary small countries to pay tribute, the lord of a country would not come in person, and there were not many small countries in the Western Regions like this. The King of Fuyu was so sincere, of course, mainly due to the demise of Goguryeo.
The King of Yan destroyed Goguryeo to remind the Six Tribes Xianbei. It is still unknown whether the Six Tribes Xianbei felt this. King Fuyu obviously felt that the great power of the Great Jin Dynasty was so powerful that he made this trip.
This proves that Sima Ji did not fight this battle in vain. Of course, he also wanted to smooth the boundaries between Hu and Han, and was working hard. However, some things cannot be successful by hard work. The people in the Central Plains also wore animal skins when they went outside the border, just because of the warmth. This is the same as the Hu people entering the Central Plains being assimilated in the end, but the Hu people who stayed on the grassland would not be assimilated. The Han people who went to the grassland would only become Hu people dressed up.
If he works hard until the end, he can still settle for the second best and separate the connection between the two major sectors of Northeast China and Mongolia. The difference between the forces of the two major sectors is still very obvious, not the difference between one who likes to reinstall and the other who likes to ride and shoot.
In Sima Ji's eyes, there is no difference between the two forces in terms of combat power. When Mongolia rose, the strongest opponent should be considered the Jin Kingdom. However, the Jin Kingdom fought against the Southern Song and Xixia in the third line. Sima Ji had never seen such a confident dynasty in history. When the emperor with IQ was online, the situation had become corrupt to the point where it was uncontrollable.
Now that Goguryeo has demonstrated the thunderous wrath of the upper country, it is now the stage of Huairou. The large-scale melee brought about by the Eight Kings Rebellion has not been a few years, and Sima Ji has no time to continue to go north. Isn’t there a saying that you must first settle the country when fighting foreign countries. Chang Gong’s military strategy will not deceive people.
From the beginning of entering Pingzhou, King Fuyu's mission was protected by the army of the Dongyi Schoolmaster's Office along the way. Sima Ji was not without the mentality of sympathizing with the weak. This premise was that he had to be really weak. The current Fuyu Kingdom was in this range.
The huge team entered the western Liaoning Corridor in a mighty manner. Among the weed piles along the way, there were many white bones left in the team a few months ago, silently paying attention to the missions from the same direction.
"King, further forward is Youzhou, which is the vassal state of Sima Ji, the general of Zhendong. "In the slow-moving carriage, the minister who followed Fuyu King Yiluo whispered, "The King of Yan is less than twenty years old, has a slender figure, and usually wears a tight black outfit. Most of the Youzhou is his vassal state. The four bordered Xianbei are all subdued. The Murong family, Yuwen family, Duan family, and Tuoba family dare not be too presumptuous."
"The century-old trouble that destroyed us in one battle is less than twenty years old!" King Yiluo of Fuyu sighed lightly, "The Central Plains are so powerful. I heard that there are dozens of similar kings and princes, are they true or false."
"There are less than ten kings and princes leading the heavy army, and the King of Yan is one of them. However, I heard that many kings and princes have many soldiers far above the King of Yan!" The minister lowered his head and replied, "This time when we came to Dajin, the king can take a look nearby."
Yiluo nodded. He had never been to Luoyang. Although he was the King of Fuyu who was personally appointed by Emperor Wu of Jin Sima Yan, that time Yiluo met He Long, the Dongyi Captain who had just arrived, and did not meet the emperor far away in Luoyang. Therefore, he could only understand the Shangguo who had helped him to the throne from the members of the mission.
This is normal. Not to mention that Yiluo is just a king of a small country, Liu Yuan is more powerful, and it is not easy for Murong Wei to see the emperor of the Jin Dynasty. In the eyes of Yiluo, at most, even if he was like the so-called Jiangnan gentry after the demise of Wu, the prince Xima, like Lu Ji, was probably the position of King Fuyu.
The King of Yan naturally didn't have to condescend to the nobles and come out of the city to welcome him, but he could arrange for people to cross the road to welcome him. Anyway, he had ordered a few days off for corvee and was idle. This would give King Fuyu a very good face. If he left Youzhou Yiluo, he would probably not even be treated like this.
"Is there a maid from Fuyu people in the mansion?" When the talent was in use, he hated him for a while. Sima Ji could not expect all the kings of the small country to speak Central Plains. When the other party's missions entered Jicheng, he remembered what to do if they talked to each other.
Unfortunately, because Fuyu Country is small and insignificant, it turns out that it is always robbed by Murong and bought Zhongyuan as slaves, which led to Emperor Wu of Jin, Sima Yan, who specially ordered a ban on the sale of Fuyu people and put Fuyu people back. Therefore, there are even Persians in the Yan Palace, but as for Fuyu people, there are really no one.
"Husband!" Yang Xin called softly and reminded in a low voice, "Even if King Fuyu doesn't, there will definitely be some in the mission. Communication should not be a problem. I will go back to the back hall first."
"No, just stay here. Who can take care of you in your palace?" Sima Ji grabbed Yang Xin's hand. The female family members of this era are not qualified to accompany the head of the family to show up in public, and they will hide when they welcome guests. He thought this was quite nonsense. What happened to him when he saw his face? He insisted on making it look like a peacemaker?
"Husband!" A soft look flashed in Yang Xin's eyes, and she was very moved. Recently, Sima Ji and her made great progress. Except for the reality of husband and wife, it was basically the same as after marriage. If the King of Yan was working hard, sooner or later, he could smooth out the edges of this lady's lady, now he would be waiting to move from victory to victory under the cover of time.
Not long after, under the gaze of the royal palace guards, the delegation members walked in from the main gate of the royal palace. Sima Ji and Yang Xin sat in the main hall, "Xiao Bang came to Xuanlin to pay homage to King Yan, Princess, this is our king Yiluo, and this time we came to Shangguo to pay tribute." Xuanlin did not make a fuss. It is normal for a couple like their country to appear at the same time.
Yiluo looked at Sima Ji and Yang Xin, who were sitting upright, and did this King of Yan? It seemed that he could not see anything extraordinary, but the Princess Yan seemed to feel a little ashamed and dared not look at him. At first glance, he was born in a famous family. In the same sitting posture, Sima Ji was not in tune with the previous king, so how could Yang Xin be strictly disciplined by the gentry since she was a child?
The most important thing is that Yang Xin is usually a woman with a strong aura. The only difference between Yang Xin and Jia Nanfeng is that Yang Xin is really beautiful.
Yiluo said a few words to the envoy, and Xuanlin said, "The king said, at first glance, he was deeply impressed by the temperament of the King of Yan. The King of Yan attacked Goguryeo in the cold winter, and the four barbarians were intimidated. The power of the upper country was eye-catching. This time, my king came to Dajin specifically and relied on the power of the upper country to protect the small country."
This set of indifferent words made Sima Ji smile in his heart. He liked simple and easy-to-understand words. If the infamous dialogue between the gentry was really the one who could understand it, the King of Yan was unlearning and ignorant.
"Yeah!" Yang Xin cleared her throat softly to remind Sima Ji. After deepening her understanding, she understood Sima Ji's shortcomings very well. She was very determined in the general trend, but she could never see the details. When she saw Sima Ji's brows stretching, Yang Xin understood that this was the feeling of being flattering King Yan again, and she needed to remind her quickly.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Sima Ji had already spoken that everything was a path, and he obviously seemed to be able to bear it and not stop.
What Fuyu has always been obedient, but I am a loyal little brother of the Jin Dynasty and then the topic goes to him. There is one thing that Sima Ji cannot do. When no one brags about him, he can flatter himself. If he is not really interested in metaphysics and gives him time, he will not be able to become a master of metaphysics.
Then the delegation was seated and the banquet started. Yang Xin sighed softly, is it because her family paid too much attention to the guests, or is it that the customs in Youzhou are different?
"You don't understand, tell you that these people born in the cold areas do not say anything is useful!" Seeing Yang Xin's appearance as if she was bound by the rules of ethics, Sima Ji empathized with me as if she was right when I heard that I was right, "The environment is different. Can you talk about a passage of poetry with the other party before the banquet? You have no problem, I won't!"
Yang Xin was so angry that as a prince, she couldn't even remember the Book of Songs, but she said it with confidence?
Xuanlin has obviously seen many battles. He opened his mouth from the power of the King of Yan to the prestige of the country in the Great Jin Dynasty, from groups to individuals, from culture to military power, Sima Ji almost thought that the person sitting below was Tang Shen, the former General Xuanwei who had been promoted to a marquis.
