Let's see later.

------------

Lao Wang did not talk about state affairs in the court. Instead, he set up palace banquets to entertain Han envoys.

Its purpose is self-evident.

Compared to the attendance of all officials, there are many people and eyes. The scale of the palace dinner is controllable. Moreover, the participants must be members of the royal family or close ministers of the king. You should avoid the ears and eyes. There is even a secret speech during the banquet, which will not be heard by the three. Lao Wang's move has a deep meaning. However, there is no wall that cannot be exposed to the air. It will only be sooner or later to leak the secret.

In other words, the country has gone by and seems calm, but in fact the chaos has arisen. Although the old king is infected with the sun, his life will not last long. However, he is not old and stupid. He is still able to govern the country and wants to use external forces to arrange his funeral.

The next day, Wan Zhen and Haishi arrived as promised. He had already arrived. He had already arrived at the royal palace, but because the palace was seven levels, it was a dome of gold-plated bronze tiles. The sun rose and sunset, and it was magnificent and magnificent, visible to a hundred miles. Therefore, it was commonly known as the "Bronze Palace" in the later generations.

The dinner party was set up in the seven-layer ceiling pavilion, under the gilded dome.

As Wan Zhen expected, all attending the dinner were royal family, close ministers, and generals, but they did not attend the meeting. This was a private banquet for the royal family, and it was reasonable for foreign ministers to be uncommon. It was beyond reproach. I expected that Lao Wang had been in power for many years and had not been implicated by thieves in the palace, and his life could be preserved.

He was no longer in a country, and was located at the intersection of east and west. The ship merchants from all over the world came and went. Old Wang Ganido Disha admired the style of the Han family. He followed Shu to practice merchants, learned the Han dialect of Bashu, and the style of the Han Dynasty. This banquet alone shows it.

The bells and dining on the tripod, and the meals on the ground are all the same as those of the Han people. The only difference is that the food and flavors are very different. Especially various seafood, supplemented by colorful spices, they are fresh and salty, and the aroma is strong. Plum wine and fresh coconut milk are also a must-have.

No matter what kind of delicacy, pepper is a must-have.

Pepper, also known as "Miluzhi", "Powahe", "Piluzhi", etc. "Youyang Zazu" records: "Pepper comes out of the country of Mogao, called "Miluzhi"," "It is spicy and pick it in June, and it is used for food today."

The climate of Xuhai Island is humid and rainy. Therefore, I like to eat spicy food to cause sweating.

Nowadays, there is also rice. The rice is slightly yellow and you can eat it with your hands. The meal is served on a plate or banana leaves, supplemented with various side dishes, bean soup or coconut (chicken) gravy, and bibimbap.

In contrast to the Han people, people who have already come to the fore, nodded to show opposition, and shake their heads to show their agreement.

It is worthy of being located at the "Eastern Crossroad". It has abundant resources. Linliang is full of imported goods, but it depends on needs. Nowadays, the country is similar to that of Linyi. The people have many fishing and hunting to make a living, while the nobles do not work in production. Only by relying on customs duties, they can be rich enough to compete with the country.

The races are also varied. Nowadays, they are not kings and have Aryan blood. They should have some connection with Ashoka of the Mauryan Dynasty.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

While Wan Zhen left the table and toasted. Lao Wang held his hand and whispered: "Why did the Han envoy come from?"

This question was also asked in the main hall yesterday. However, the meaning of one public and one private is very different.

Wan Zhen carefully replied, "For my lord, I would like to buy mutual trade."

"Just just for the mutual trade?" Lao Wang's eyes were as bright as a gaze.

"I wish to build a port and open a market in one place." Wan Zhen said again.

"It's like the ten ports on the river?" Lao Wang also knew.

‘Yes.’ Wan Zhen replied.

"This matter is easy." Lao Wang's blood surging, stopped his coughing, and said in a deep voice: "Come on the picture."

"yes."

In a moment, a scroll of Shu brocade was slowly unfolded by the palace servants.

"Look at the Han envoy." Lao Wang pointed to the scroll of the picture: "This island is called "Konghou". It is called because it looks like "Hu Konghou".

Wan Zhen saw it clearly. Lao Wang's finger was the big island in the north of Yichengbuguo. Later generations called the Jaffna Peninsula (who faced from the Sindu across the sea, and the south was connected to the main island by the "Elephant Passage"). At this time, just like Yuzhou Mountain, it was not yet connected to Yichengbuguo.

Seeing through the shocked heart, Lao Wang asked, "I don't know what the Han envoy thinks?"

"I dare to ask the king, if I get this island, what should my lord do?" Wan Zhen asked without answering.

"This is not difficult." The old king finally revealed his scheming: "Send his son to the servant and ask for a golden seal."

Wan Zhen originally thought that Lao Wang was saying "marriage" as soon as possible. Unexpectedly, he wanted to "attach the inner side". He accepted the inner side, so he surrendered to the Han vassal forever and was granted the title of the Emperor.

In particular, he sent his son to serve as a hostage.

Seeing Wan Zhen, I didn't say anything. The needle fell on the table for a while.

With lightning and fire, Wan Zhen had figured out everything. Then he asked, "I dare to ask the king, who will send him to the servant."

Hearing this, Lao Wang's eyes flashed: "It's not yet decided."

By the way, he has not arrived at the throne, but his brother ended up with his brother. Lao Wang was seriously ill and may soon be in the world. He sent his son to serve the emperor, and he would not have caused trouble to the wall. He also obtained the Han Dynasty's throne and the country was forever solid, so outsiders dared not covet it. This is a plan of killing two birds with one stone.

Just imagine, if the son of the late emperor was sent to serve, the throne should be passed on to the legitimate son. If the legitimate son was sent to serve, he would intentionally be in his brother's family. Wan Zhen asked this question. However, the old king answered, but he had not made a decision yet. It can be seen that his intention was not decided. Or he was afraid. He would not express his scheming easily without being sure to win.

"In this way, my subordinates dare to agree to my lord." After saying that, Wan Zhen bowed down with a solemn look.

"Okay, okay, okay." When I stood up again, Lao Wang was already in tears: "The Han envoy is here to save the orphans from water and fire."

"I dare not." Wan Zhen returned to his post again.

He made an agreement with Lao Wang, and Wan Zhen merged with the order of the Haishi City and returned home with a full load.

"The lord only ordered us to trade with him, and did not mention any internal affairs." Haishi Ling said.

"This is God's gift to my Lord." Wan Zhen then revealed the feelings before and after, Hepan: "I sent my son to the servant to relieve his internal worries. I asked for a golden seal to eliminate external troubles."

"Oh?" Haishi Ling thought for a moment and then realized: "Internal troubles but external troubles. No wonder he ceded the land and sought it."

"This island is across the sea from the Huangzhi Kingdom. If it can be used by our Lord, why worry about the immortality of the body." Without further ado, Wan Zhen then took the imperial order of King Ji and wrote the letter of the country.

Seeing the silk book many blank spaces, Haishi Ling woke up. King Ji had already instructed him.

By the way, King Ji "left blank letters for thousands of miles", and under the jurisdiction of Zheng Tai, he could have appointed two thousand stone officials. He said that "a hundred hearing is better than seeing one person". He finally got a look today.

Wan Zhen was accomplished overnight. It was drafted in two copies.
