238 Two young men came
However... The envoys of Liang State came to Chen State to personally transport tributes every year, which repeatedly made the Chen State embarrassed.
The main reason is that the envoy of Liang State was too arrogant and domineering!
But it is true that you, Chen State, are so humble that you give tribute to others. They are a little more enlarged in their hearts. They regard themselves as superior to the Heavenly Kingdom and do not take the people of Chen State into consideration... This becomes inevitable!
Therefore, receiving the envoys of Liang State became a "difficult" problem that Chen State had to experience every year.
Whoever receives the envoy of Liang State means who will be humiliated!
After being humiliated, he had nowhere to complain, so he had to bear it.
There was a big fuss in history. A certain Chen State receptionist was too tough and could not stand the actions of the Liang State envoy in Chen State. He argued with it, but was killed on the spot by the Liang State envoy...
Even though the death of the receptionist in his country occurred, the envoy of Liang State finally escaped!
Since that time, almost everyone has been hiding as the responsibility of receiving the envoy of Liang State.
If anyone is unlucky to take on this task, he will definitely be careful and serve the envoy of Liang State tremblingly, and dare not disobey any requests of the envoy of Liang State...
It ends up being accused of being not human inside and outside!
Therefore, the person who receives the envoys of Liang State takes great risks, and it is easy to be unfamiliar inside and outside... This job is really not done by humans!
So, when Liu Wencai heard that Zhu Xiuyuan was going to receive the envoy of Liang State, he was so scared that he turned around and ran to the dock, wanting to take a boat to run away and leave this place of failure.
In the back hall of the state yamen, the abnormal reactions of the bureaucrats made sense, and why everyone refused. Because this matter is really difficult to deal with!
Also, Zhu Xiuyuan also understood Liu Wencai's expression of "self-sacrifice and then self-motivation". It turns out that Liu Wencai really risked his life to spend his life with a gentleman!
However, Zhu Xiuyuan has already taken the responsibility of receiving the envoy of Liang State, so there is nothing he can do, so he can only bite the bullet!
They just stayed here for one night, and they endured it for a while and then they passed.
...
...
Time soon came to the arrival of the envoy of Liang State.
That morning.
Jiangzhou Pier.
Dong Cheng, the governor of Jiangzhou, brought Li Linzhou, the governor of Jiangzhou, Zhu Xiuyuan, the Sima of Jiangzhou, as well as officials from all over the world, and the military officials of the Six Caos, waiting here early.
Of course, Liu Wencai, who was shouting "sacrificing his life to accompany a gentleman", is also indispensable.
Although Zhu Xiuyuan was the one who received the envoys of Liang State, when the envoys of Liang State had just arrived in Jiangzhou, all local officials had to go to the dock to greet them.
This is the etiquette designated by the Ministry of Rites of the Court.
Zhu Xiuyuan was only welcomed by himself after all the officials were welcomed here.
On the huge pier, looking around, Yishui's round-necked official robe. According to the ranks, there are purple robes, red robes, and green robes.
Apart from that, there is no idle person.
The berths at the pier were not moored by any ships, and they seemed empty.
This makes the entire dock appear quieter.
Zhu Xiuyuan, Liu Wencai and Li Linzhou stood behind Dong Cheng, listening to the officials behind them chatting with each other.
He also chatted with Liu Wencai and Li Linzhou from time to time, and looked at the wide river from time to time.
"Here, here, the ship of the envoy of Liang State is here..."
A sudden shout attracted the attention of all the officials on the dock, including Zhu Xiuyuan, who looked into the distance of the river.
I saw that several ships appeared at the very far away of the river.
Because it is too far away, it is impossible to see the flags on the ship, so it is impossible to tell whether these ships are ships from Liang Kingdom.
However, when the Liang State envoy visited, the river surface in Chen State had long been cleared and no ship could be launched...
Then it is obvious that the ships that appear in the distance must be the ships of the envoy of Liang State!
"Everyone is quiet!" Dong Cheng looked at the ships on the river carefully, turned around and scanned the officials, "The envoy of Liang State is about to arrive, let's be prepared, don't lose my face!"
"Yes, sir!" The officials agreed, then kept silent, sorted out their clothes and stood in neat rows.
The big ship on the river is getting closer and closer.
Zhu Xiuyuan looked up and was slightly shocked.
It turned out that the envoy of Liang State brought a whole fleet, with about 30 large sailboats in the entire fleet!
Zhu Xiuyuan looked closely and found that among the more than 30 large ships, twenty-seven or eight were "trooper ships", with rows of tiger and wolf soldiers neatly lined up on them...
Zhu Xiu looked at these tiger and wolf soldiers from afar, shook his head secretly in his heart.
Sure enough, just by looking at the standing posture, you can see that these Liang army soldiers are far from comparable to those of Chen army. They are too obvious! Even people like Zhu Xiuyuan who do not understand ancient military can see at a glance...
After seeing those "troop transport ships", Zhu Xiuyuan's sight returned to the first big ship.
This is the largest ship in the entire fleet, with three floors in total, and looks like a cruise ship.
As the fleet got closer, Zhu Xiuyuan could already see the crowd standing on the deck of the big ship, which was very clear.
Zhu Xiuyuan and other officials in Jiangzhou looked at the Liang State ships one after another, and the people on the deck of the Liang State ships also looked over.
As they approached, Liang's ships were approaching again. They began to slow down and prepare to dock.
In just a few breaths, the large ship of the envoy of Liang State docked!
While the boatmen were busy and together they fixed the cables on the boat to the dock's poles, Zhu Xiuyuan looked at the person who was at the front of the deck.
The most eye-catching ones are two young people, one man and one woman.
The man was about eighteen or nineteen years old. He was handsome and handsome, with a handsome face like a crown and a very delicate dress. He could tell at a glance that he was a well-educated and wealthy young man.
But this young man was a little thin and looked a little weak.
The woman was close to the young master, looking about sixteen or seventeen years old.
Her face is like a full moon, her almond eyes, her cheeks, her eyebrows and eyes are as white as picturesque, and her clothes are bright and beautiful. She is actually a rare beauty.
This woman is not only beautiful, but her face is also kind and friendly, gentle and sunny, and a faint smile always blooms on her face and never dissipates.
Her eyes were full of curiosity, and she was next to the young master, glanced around, as if she was a newborn baby, and she was curious about everything.
In addition to this man and a woman, the rest are middle-aged people wearing official robes, each with beards and strong bodies. Although they look like civil servants, they look a bit tough as military generals.
Soon, the envoy of Liang State disembarked.
The man and the woman were walking in front.
Zhu Xiuyuan knew in his heart that he was afraid that the entire Liang Kingdom's envoy was the most noble of the identity of this man and a woman.
