Chapter 87: Depressed Sunpu
Almost half a day, the story of Zhao Yan, Wenjin Prime Minister Xiao Jingye, Deputy Prime Minister Liu Chaotong, Pan Wenyue and the six ministers of the ministers were eating beggars on Fugui Street throughout Changdan City.
This is unique in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
For a time, it caused shock among the people, and countless people were excited, feeling that they were born in such a wise and wise dynasty.
The praise for Zhao Yan and the officials of the court reached an unprecedented level for a moment.
The power of role models is huge, especially this role model is the emperor.
After Zhao Yan proposed to establish Fugui Village, the six ministers contributed money and efforts and began the infrastructure project the next day.
Some wealthy businessmen also began to donate money and materials, and were preparing to open shops in the village, obviously building this place as the first village in Dazhou.
After learning about this, other prefectures saw that the court attached great importance to the people, so naturally they did not dare to do anything to plunder the people's wealth.
Five days later, the thing Zhao Yan was most looking forward to finally came.
The Northern Mongolian marriage delegation arrived.
The envoy who led the team to marry him this time was not someone else, but Shanpu, the first counselor in Northern Mongolia.
The delegation arrived at the gate of Changdan City, and stopped with the carriage pulling many benefactors. From it, a man with a facial expression was like constipation.
It is Shanpu.
He was very depressed, quite depressed.
Eight years ago, Shanpu had come to Changdan. At that time, Northern Mongolia had just defeated Dazhou in a battle, so he came to ask Dazhou to increase its annual monies.
At that time, he was full of energy and very proud, feeling that he could determine the fate of the Great Zhou alone.
Xiao Jingye, Yang Xinghuai, and Kong Moshan were respectful to him and did not dare to say a tough word. Even Zhou Renzong put a seat for him in the Chuigong Hall.
But now, it's the opposite.
Moreover, after hearing Zhao Yan's various deeds that benefited the country and the people along the way, he could not help but wonder, if he had chosen the Great Zhou, would he be as qualified as Xiao Jingye now, and even leave his name in history.
He regretted it, but nothing could change.
I just hope that the Northern Mongolia can rectify it well and in the next battle, the Great Zhou will fall under the iron hoof of the Northern Mongolian Army again.
Shanpu originally thought that this time he might be greeted by a minor official from the Ministry of Rites. After all, the princess who married was already in Changdan City, so he came to take a step.
Unexpectedly, the three major imperial giants of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Xiao Jingye, Yang Xinghuai, and Kong Moshan, were all greeted by him at the city gate!
But at this moment, he felt very embarrassed and had to walk forward with a tough face.
Xiao Jingye, Yang Xinghuai and Kong Moshan all stood up proudly when they saw Shanpu leading the marriage delegation to come.
Originally, Zhao Yan sent Cai You, the Minister of Rites, to welcome him.
But these three young old men applied to welcome the mission at the same time, and they fought hard in the Chuigong Hall.
Zhao Yan knew the three of them very well. After thinking for a while, he made an exception and agreed to go to welcome the mission together.
If it were normal, the three giants of the court would go out to the city to welcome the foreign envoys at the same time, it would be like His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty who came in person.
But this time, the three little old men obviously wanted to show some superiority in front of Shanpu, after all, they were oppressed too ruthlessly before.
"I didn't expect that three adults would come to greet me. I am really flattered!" Shanpu began to bow and say, lowering his posture when he was five meters away from the three giants of the court.
Xiao Jingye thrust his chest and said with a smile: "Mr. Shanpu is here in person. How dare I be neglected in Dazhou? I remember that the last time Lord Shanpu came to Changdan, I got angry just because a ceremonial guard was not arranged. I wonder if the etiquette was thoughtful this time?"
Shanpu's face turned red, and he was very embarrassed, regretting that he was so proud at the beginning.
"Thoughtful, thoughtful, and sophisticated. The Great Zhou is a country of etiquette, which is something I cannot compare with in Northern Mongolia." Shanpu wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.
Xiao Jingye and the other two were very comfortable when they saw Shanpu's expression.
The three of them scrambled to come over just to experience this wonderful feeling.
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the crowd not far away.
"Shanpu, aren't you quite good at showing off? Why are you so embarrassed? You traitor!"
Hearing this, Shanpu's face suddenly became more and more ugly.
Kong Moshan glared at the crowd and murmured in his heart: You can go home and scold me, and start scolding in front of others, which makes me look very incompetent.
He waved his hand to the crowd, signaling the people to disperse and stop talking nonsense, and then said a little apologetically to Shanpu: "Mr. Shanpu, I am really sorry, the people of my Great Zhou are simple and the people like to tell the truth, and this kind of words does not violate the laws of my Great Zhou, so I cannot arrest him and apologize to the Lord!"
"It's okay." Shan Puqiang pretended to smile and wanted to leave here quickly.
"Puchi!"
Suddenly, Yang Xinghuai on the side couldn't help laughing out loud.
He couldn't help laughing when he heard Kong Moshan's words.
The people's customs are simple?
Do the people like to tell the truth?
This is clearly disgusting the good people!
Unlike Kong Moshan and Xiao Jingye, Yang Xinghuai has honed his superb acting skills in the court and can hold back and not laugh.
He really couldn't bear it.
Yang Xinghuai smiled, and Kong Moshan and Xiao Jingye couldn't help it. They all blushed and forced themselves to stop laughing.
Today's events are enough to make these three old men happy for more than half a year.
Shanpu was so depressed that he almost wanted to cry, and he felt that this moment was as long as the day.
After a while, Shanpu finally returned to the carriage and then breathed a sigh of relief.
But after a moment, he became depressed again because the marriage delegation did not go to the inn arranged by the Ministry of Rites, but Wanbaolou.
Lu Nianwei said that she had found a place to live for Shanpu.
After learning the news, Shanpu's heart trembled again because he and Lu Nianwei had a very bad relationship.
At the beginning, it was Shanpu who asked Lu Nianwei to marry a general from a tribe in Beimeng.
Therefore, Lu Nianwei was forced to leave Beimeng and come to the Great Zhouchangdan City.
After the delegation arrived near Wanbao Tower, they were led to a dilapidated inn by a friend from Wanbao Tower.
The inn is very dilapidated, and there are tiles doing flesh-and-skinned business on the side, which is very noisy.
"Man, why did you bring us here?" Shanpu asked angrily.
The mate replied: "Your Highness the Princess said that there are no empty rooms in Wanbao Building, and according to the character of the adults, it is only suitable for living here."
After saying that, the guy left.
Shanpu was about to cry but didn't cry, but suddenly raised his arm and slapped him hard in the face.
"I deserve it!"
The soldiers beside them were all frightened and lowered their heads as if they didn't see them.
Chapter completed!
