The royal capital of Zhao was a lofty city located in the middle of the 800-mile plain. To the south of the capital, there is a mountain range called Mount Li, and to the west there is a long river, which the Zhao people call the Hunting Water. The plains of Zhao had a mild climate and fertile soil, which was of the highest quality, with abundant rainfall all year round.
The drought in recent years has had little effect on the neighborhood of Zhao Wangdu. Zheng Yuming walked all the way, only to see the fields of wheat heavy, visible this year's spring harvest will be a good harvest.
Wu stone mill grinding technology three years ago to Zhao, in Zhao Xuan intentionally lead, Zhao planted winter wheat area greatly expanded, indica corn class primitive coarse grains planted to reduce the original corn crop yield is not as high as wheat, the taste is not as good as the taste of flour.
The green shadow of the capital wall of the King of Zhao could be seen in the distance, Zheng Yuming changed into a black dress in the car and abandoned the car to ride a steed. Gongsun Pan and Wu Mu also changed into the corresponding grade of the official dress, rode a horse to follow Zheng Yuming around. Gongsun Pan and Wu Mu two people have been Zheng Yuming last year awarded the title of doctor, Wei Qing, Zhou Cheng, Yu Kui and a group of Xing nobles have also raised the title.
All of the mission personnel changed into the appropriate dresses, the attendants raised the envoy's flags and streamers, and set up the king's ceremonies. Zheng Yuming, on behalf of Wu Wangsheng, traveled on his mission, and the ceremonies he used for his trip were not much different from those of Wu Wangsheng's trip, with the obvious difference being that the two men's dresses were different: Zheng Yuming's was a prince's dress, and Wu Wangsheng's was a king's coronation dress.
The Wu delegation set up ceremonial war and walked for a couple of miles, then saw the official road not far from the flags fluttering, the sound of people and horses hissing, Zhao king Zhao Xuan has led the civil and military officials out of the city to meet. Among the black crowd, Zheng Yuming saw Zhao Xuan under the purple and red cover at a glance.
Zhao Xuan was dressed in a black cross-collar right-over-overlapping monarch's suit, the king's suit was embroidered with gold silk with dragon and phoenix patterns, the sleeves and collar were flanked by small diamond shaped geometric patterns, his head was crowned with a monarch's coronet, and he wore a sword on his waist, the hilt and scabbard of which were encrusted with jewels, which were predominantly black onyx jade, and on his feet he wore a pair of red slippers and gold silk sandals.
Zhao Xuan originally body lift looks very imposing, and then have a majestic monarch coronation dress wearing, the sea of people suddenly fell into the accompaniment. Zheng Yuming so far to see, can not help but smash the tongue, Zhao Xuan is, after all, from childhood after special training, he and Chu Chao Hui two twenty-first century to the people, how to end up with this kind of hair from the bones of the high people a few equal stance. Television and movies play king actor to have Zhao Xuan this majestic momentum, surely can be red all over the world.
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but smile on his face when he spotted the Wu delegation on the official road. When Zheng Yuming rode close to dismounting and came on foot in his direction, Zhao Xuan hurriedly got up from his special imperial chariot to welcome them.
Zheng Yuming stood still, bending down and arching his hand with Zhao Xuan to perform a meet-and-greet salute: "Premier Minister Zheng Yuming of the Kingdom of Wu meets the ruler of the Kingdom of Zhao!"
"Yu Di don't be polite! It's been a long time since I've seen you, I've missed you!" Zhao Xuan's voice was loud and clear, and instead of saluting in a serious manner like Zheng Yuming did, he held Zheng Yuming's arm and made Zheng Yuming straighten his body.
Since Zhao Xuan didn't see eye to eye with himself, Zheng Yuming didn't follow the strict etiquette to get along with Zhao Xuan.
"After not seeing you for almost a year, brother Wang is even more majestic." Zheng Yuming's words were not flattering.
"Are the injuries on Yudie's body all healed?" Zhao Xuan held Zheng Yuming left and right with one hand and carefully looked around.
Zheng Yuming usually wore light-colored clothes, and even when he received Zhao Xuan at Ulsan Dacheng, the gown he wore was silver-white. This time, Zheng Yuming had to wear the honorable black dress when he traveled to Zhao as a prince of the Wu Kingdom.
It was the first time that Zhao Xuan had seen Zheng Yuming in a black-colored costume.
After Zheng Yuming was teleported by the blue light, his skin has remained as delicate as seventeen or eighteen years old, like jade Ru Porcelain's skin is set off by the black deep clothes as if it is crystal clear, coupled with his handsome features, the whole person is so perfect that one can't find a single flaw.
Zhao Xuan hands look at each other, the more you look at the more can not move away from the line of sight, Zheng Yuming features are durable that type of type.
"Brother Wang, this is our country's Education Division Director Gongsun, and this is Commercial Division Director Wu." Zheng Yuming introduced Gongsun Pan and Wu Mu to Zhao Xuan.
"Oh!" Jo Xuan was reminded by Jung Yuming shaking his hand and reluctantly averted his gaze from Jung Yuming.
"Gongsun Pan sees Lord Zhao!" Gongsun Pan had a smile on his lips as he stepped forward and performed a big salute towards Zhao Xuan.
Zhao Xuan saw Gongsun disk, immediately associated with the Qimen Mountain search, then listened to Zheng Yuming's words, thought Gongsun disk only know small skills, not a pillar of governance, Zhao Xuan therefore did not accept the use of the heart.
Last year's trip to Wu, Zhao Xuan has seen Gongsun Pan's contribution to Wu, and only then deeply realize that the country is strong and not just have a great talent in politics, a country to be strong, all kinds of talent must be both.
Waiting for Zhao Xuan to understand these, Gongsun Pan such a multi-talented and multi-skilled talent has been the Wu Kingdom humerus, lost Gongsun Pan, Zhao Xuan is not not chagrined.
"Mr. Gongsun has not come back well? After a farewell at Qimen Mountain, Mr. and I are surprised to meet here." Zhao Xuan was a monarch in the end, and did well to hide his chagrin behind a smile.
"Gongsun is fortunate to be able to follow your son on his mission to the royal capital, and here I am to see you again, Great King." Gongsun Pan greatly grinned as Zheng Yuming's vassal.
The corner of Zhao Xuan's eye twitched slightly as he maintained his smile and looked at the short little Wu Mu, "I've heard of Director Wu's great name for a long time, and this time, I'll have to ask Director Wu to talk to Secretary Wu Milling in detail."
Wu promised to help Zhao make paper, and the Wumian family of Zhao was Zhao Xuan's designated cooperative noble.
"Wu Mu will do his best!" Wu Mu was convinced by Zhao Xuan's aura and bowed in agreement with a very attentive attitude.
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but smile slightly at Wu Mu's movements, he knew Wu Mu's origins very well, he was just a small trader from a fallen noble family, relying on Zheng Yuming to become a big official in Wu. Wu Mu's shortened demeanor made Zhao Xuan think that Wu Mu was a businessman who was very easy to pin down.
Zheng Yuming also smiled slightly on the side, if Zhao Xuan thought Wu Mu saw the world less, thought he could pinch this businessman born director, that would be a big mistake, Wu Mu as long as it comes to business, such as the shrewd Jewish businessman, that is a little bit of cheap are not willing to eat.
After meeting the main officials of the Wu mission, Zhao Xuan introduces Zheng Yuming to his inner circle and important ministers Lao Wenzai, Bo Yao, Wu Mou, and the left and right daimyo.
Zheng Yuming knew Bo Yao and Wu Mou, the three of them exchanged pleasantries, and for Zhao's prestigious minister Lao Wen Zai, Zheng Yuming observed with great spirit.
Zhao's old Wenzai was a big fat man with a florid white beard and eyes that had squinted into a slit because of the obesity of his face, but the eyes that flashed out of the slit were quite sharp.
"I have long heard of Wen Zai's great name! Wenzai has assisted three generations of kings and is a model for us!" Zheng Yuming made a flat bow with Zhao Wenzai, he was treating Zhao Wenzai with great respect by making equal courtesies with him as a duke.
"Your Excellency is polite!" Zhao Wenzai did not hold his head high, and was respectful or honored, and from the salute, it was evident that Wenzai was doing things very steadily.
Zhao Wenzai was surprised at Zheng Yuming's appearance and temperament, such a handsome as jade style elegant bright person, no wonder there will be falling geese legend.
Both sides of the two countries have seen the salute, Zhao Xuan tightly holding Zheng Yuming's right hand, inviting Zheng Yuming with him to ride with the Luang car into the city. Zhao Xuan Luang car carriage is open, by six horse traction, the seat is very wide, two people sitting together there is room. Wood has been closely followed by Zheng Yuming heels, see the master on the car, quickly jumped up, squatting in front of Zheng Yuming.
"Where did Yu Di take in the big wolf from?" Zhao Xuan probed and touched Woody's dog head, Woody turned around and bared his teeth at Zhao Xuan, which didn't scare Zhao Xuan, but instead made him laugh.
"It was obtained in the mountains near Nambu." Zheng Yuming was too lazy to explain the origin of the wood and explained externally that it was picked up in the valley.
"I don't know if there is still this kind of mighty god dog there, I want to tame one too." Zhao Xuan liked the wooden mighty look.
"Yuming only found one wood, similar to the wolfhound has not been seen." Zheng Yuming is not sure whether Europe at this time has trained the German shepherd, only the wood as the world's only German shepherd dog.
"Pity!" Zhao Xuan lamented.
Zhao Xuan and Zheng Yuming next and not be able to talk more, because the King of Zhao capital city people cheering has covered the sound of their speech, two people sitting side by side on the Luang car, in addition to smiling towards the surrounding nod, has been unable to talk in the deafening cheers.
Zhao Xuan was a perfect man in the eyes of the people of Zhao, and every time Zhao Xuan made a public appearance, the people of the royal capital would clamor to see him. This time, together with the legendary Duke of Falling Wild Goose, the whole royal capital was empty, people all flocked to the imperial chariot passing through the two sides of the avenue, through the guarded Huben, all want to see their perfect king and the beautiful name of the Duke of Falling Wild Goose spread to the Great Qin with their own eyes.
Did not let the people of Zhao Wangdu disappointment, handsome as jade falling geese son let them full of eye candy, people staring at the imperial chariot on Zheng Yuming can not take their eyes off, some people are vigorously rubbing their eyes, afraid of the beauty of what they see is the eyes of the illusory out of the blossom.
In order to prevent assassins, Zhao Wang Wang are surrounded by the King's chariot is not allowed to throw gifts, so the cheering sound of the sky, but there is no foreign objects fell to Zheng Yuming and Zhao Xuan body. Is so, responsible for the protection of Zheng Yuming security Longhu military personnel with enough vigilance, riding scattered LuangDao around monitoring the people's every move.
The car drove into the southern palace of the king's capital, the people still refused to leave, scattered around the palace waiting, hoping to have the honor to see the beauty of the jade face.
On that day, the banquet for the Wu delegation was very sumptuous, and it was set up in the palace where the delegation lived, and all the officials of the Zhao state attended the banquet.
"Yu Di, is the food and wine here to your liking?" Zhao Xuan sat side by side with Zheng Yuming at the top.
"Not bad, the dishes on the table are all Yuming's favorite delicacies, brother Wang took the trouble." Zheng Yuming took a sip of red wine, which was wine brewed in Nambu, and the wine cups holding the wine were tall glass wine cups produced in Nambu.
"My brother has been looking forward to Yudie coming to get together since the beginning of spring, Yudie eating and living comfortably here in my brother's place, so that my brother can feel at ease." Zhao Xuan moved towards Zheng Yuming's side until his thighs were close to Zheng Yuming's body.
At this time the weather temperature is twenty degrees out, Zhao Xuan next to Zheng Yuming, body temperature through the brocade clothing burst to Zheng Yuming body.
Zheng Yuming moved uncomfortably, moving slightly to one side to distance himself from Zhao Xuan, but he didn't want Zhao Xuan to take advantage of pouring wine for Zheng Yuming and get next to him again.
"Wen Zai prefers meat?" Zheng Yuming could no longer hide to the side, so he turned his head to survey the Zhao civil and military officials accompanying him on both sides of the table, looking for something to say to drive away the embarrassment.
"Yes, Wen Zai likes meat, and of the meat, he likes it to be fatty." Zhao Xuan looked at is eating fat meat Wen Zai, put his face close to the side of Zheng Yuming's ear to speak, breath sprayed to Zheng Yuming face. Drinking wine two cheeks skin color halo red Zheng Yuming can be said to be beautiful, Zhao Xuan especially want to go up to bite on a bite, Zhao Xuan teeth itchy, itchy heart.
Zheng Yuming looked down and pretended to drink to avoid Zhao Xuan's breath.
"Eating too much fatty meat is not good for your health, Wenzai should still be careful."
As fat meat containing animal fat is particularly high, can be as high as 98%, fat meat to eat more easy to make the body fat accumulation, body obesity, elevated blood lipids, so that arteriosclerosis, Wen Zai is already obese, but also such a preference, Zheng Yuming think that Wen Zai will get three high.
Zhao Xuan gently smiled and moved his body slightly away from Zheng Yuming, in full view of everyone, Zhao Xuan didn't dare to go too far.
"Wen Zai has eaten fat meat for forty or fifty years without any problem, but now he is told to eat less, and in less than three days, Wen Zai will have to report his illness to bed."
At this time people were generally malnourished, fat people were only found among the aristocracy, and people thought that obesity was health.
Zheng Yuming saw that Zhao Xuan didn't take it seriously, so he didn't say much at that moment and only toasted with Zhao Xuan to each other.
Banquet in addition to wine and food, there are songs and dances and a hundred skills to help, a group of dancers after the song and dance, wonderful is the acrobatics, that is, the latter day acrobatics.
Performing acrobats trained from childhood, the body is practiced to be soft, wonderful sword, flip, stacking people to see Zheng Yuming mesmerized. Zheng Yuming watch acrobatics, Zhao Xuan will stare at Zheng Yuming can not stop staring. Participate in the banquet Zhao Wu officials look at the beautiful Zheng Yuming, and then look at the eyes obsessed with Zhao Xuan, not a fool understand that Zhao Xuan on Zheng Yuming have adoration.
Gongsun Pan looked at is two eyes rolled a bit, do not go to stare. Wu Mu is glanced down standing in Zheng Yuming side of the big cow, found that the big cow is staring at the copper bell like cow eyes vigilant Zhao Xuan, Wu Mu can not help but secretly relieved.
Da Niu is the personal bodyguard that Chu Chao Hui chose for Zheng Yuming, Chu Chao Hui has the honor of knowing Da Niu, if Da Niu doesn't face Chu Chao Hui, who else will he face? If Zhao Xuan acted out of character towards Zheng Yuming, with the bull's recklessness, he would probably pick up Zhao Xuan and throw him far away.
Zhao's officials' hearts turned toward their king, and Zhao Xuan and Zheng Yuming together were supposed to be like a pair of lovers, so many of Zhao's officials were happy to see their king and Duke Yuyan write a good story. However, these officials did not include Wen Zai, an old courtier.
"Great King! Duke Ming and his party have traveled a lot, so they should rest early!" Wen Zai touched his round belly and stood up to suggest.
In the end, Zheng Yuming is the person in charge of Wu, Zheng Yuming open husband Chu Chaohui is not a nobody, controlling more than 100,000 troops of Wu. Wen Zai was afraid that Zhao Xuan lost his temper and triggered Zhao and Wu to start a war.
"Eh, it's still early" Zhao Xuan sat up straight, he felt that it would be best for the feast to go on forever.
"Not bad, Yuming drank some wine, his mind is drowsy and sleepy, and he is trying to rest." Zheng Yuming was stared at by Zhao Xuan fidgety, Wen Zai a proposal, just cut into his heart, immediately interrupted Zhao Xuan to speak, and pushed the boat with the water.
"Yu Di!" Zhao Xuan's face and voice were filled with dismay.
"Today, little brother is really fatigued and does not have the energy to accompany brother Wang love to drink, please forgive me, brother Wang." Zheng Yuming rubbed his forehead with his hand, indicating that he very much wanted to rest.
"In that case, Yu Di will go to the backyard to rest, and you and I will gather again tomorrow!" Zhao Xuan was unable to do so and had to let Zheng Yuming leave.
Zheng Yuming was going to stay in Zhao Wangdu for five days, and after that, the two of them would have to go to Draft Capital in pairs, so there would be plenty of time to spend together, and Zhao Xuan was looking forward to the days ahead.
