The lights are like daylight.
The table is full of delicacies.
Ji Jinrong entertained the Turkic envoy with spirits.
The leading Turkic envoy was about twenty-seven or eight years old, and he sat on the ground with a golden sword, with the heroism of a grasslander.
Ji Jinrong asked Han Shizhi to introduce good wine to the envoy. Due to the shortage of food, Da Qi had already issued a ban on alcohol. After the Turkic envoy came here, he was unable to buy wine. When he smelled the wine at this time, the envoy felt greedy. I woke up immediately, my throat suddenly tightened.
Ji Jinrong took out several kinds of fine wine, but he didn't allow anyone to pour the wine, but exchanged pleasantries with the other party instead.
The Turkic envoy could only deal with it with greed.
Ji Jinrong's questions were not important, and the envoy answered them one by one. The pronunciation of the envoy's name is quite difficult to remember, and the free translation is "Flying Eagle". Feiying is twenty-eight years old, and he is already the father of five children, two boys and three girls, and his combat effectiveness is astonishing.
Ji Jinrong expressed that he would give presents to five children. The boy would give him precious knives and spirits, and his daughter would give jewelry and silk.
The envoy only said that this is the etiquette of the Central Plains people, but he didn't pay much attention to it.
Speaking of children, Ji Jinrong asked Turkic Khan if he had any children.
Hearing that Ji Jinrong was always talking about the younger generation, the envoy couldn't help but look at Ji Jinrong. After looking at it, I realized that today's heroic horseman looks like he is only about ten years old, and he is still half a boy. Maybe it's because he is still young, so he always wonders if he has peers
The messenger said, "Of course, the Khan has two sons who are older than you, and both are in their twenties."
After listening to Han Shizhi's translation, Ji Jinrong looked a bit disappointed, as if they could play together if they were of the same age.
Ji Jinrong asked again what fun things there were in Turkic.
The envoy couldn't bear it any longer, and said, "Why don't you drink and talk?"
Ji Jinrong seemed to realize that the guests hadn't been allowed to drink yet, so he smiled brightly and said, "Talk while drinking!"
Ji Jinrong doesn't drink well, so the wine he drank was sweet wine with a lot of sweetness and less spicy. He thought it tasted so good, he quickly drank three cups, and then asked the messenger what fun things they had there.
After three cups, the emissary was not satisfied, the cup was too small, at least he had to use a small bowl to fill it. But seeing Shang Ji Jinrong's earnest eyes, the emissary became inexplicably patient again, and talked to him about the customs of Turkic, what's delicious and fun.
When he heard about the roasted whole lamb that was necessary for the bonfire party, the emissary clearly noticed that Ji Jinrong's eyes lit up with a pinch of small flames!
Dare to love what this little majesty likes to eat
The envoy asked someone to pour wine for himself, and while drinking, he talked about what the Turks eat. In terms of fineness and eating method, the Turks are naturally inferior to the Central Plains. However, the Turkic food has the characteristics of the horse nationality, which sounds very different from that of the Central Plains, and each has its own advantages!
Ji Jinrong's eyes became brighter and brighter. He asked Han Shizhi to tell the emissary that if he came again next time, he must bring a few cooks, the kind that can cook any grassland food.
Messenger: "..."
He must be stupid to think this might be a good opportunity.
This time, the banquet was barely considered a joy for the guests and the host. At the time of parting, Ji Jinrong was still reluctant to part, and generously took out a few wine making recipes and gave them to the envoy.
Han Shizhi told the envoy on behalf of Ji Jinrong: "Our Majesty said that we in Daqi are short of food and can't make wine, so we simply give you the recipe. You Turkic soldiers are strong and horses are strong, and you have enough grain. You should enjoy the strongest wine."
The messenger's heart skipped a beat. wine! Which prairie person is not good at wine? This is a great business!
The envoy was thinking about whether to take it down, but Han Shizhi had already said: "Your Majesty also said that two of them are gifts for the two sons of the envoy, so that you can choose what you like and keep it. We have a lot of leisure time for wine and utensils." Some of the craftsmen who came down have been kept idle, so if you don’t mind, you can take them back together.”
The messenger was overjoyed. He said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
After a few days, the Turkic envoy left with a "gift". Ji Jinrong personally delivered it to the palace gate, and eagerly asked the envoy to come back next time.
He Tai led the red horse for Ji Jinrong, and Ji Jinrong turned back along the original road, and after a while, he saw King Zhennan standing in front of the steps.
King Zhennan said, "Your Majesty, I'm leaving tomorrow."
Ji Jinrong looked at King Zhennan.
King Zhennan said, "How about I watch for His Majesty tonight?"
Ji Jinrong was taken aback.
The King of Zhennan stared at Ji Jinrong: "Just like the imperial guards guarding outside His Majesty's gate overnight."
Ji Jinrong froze all over.
He realized that he had overlooked many things.
Ji Jinrong said: "Let's go tomorrow..." How can I stay up all night
King Zhennan said, "It doesn't matter to me." He looked deeply at Ji Jinrong, "Even if I don't sleep for ten days and nights, I won't feel tired."
Ji Jinrong said, "Nonsense!"
King Zhennan said: "Your Majesty, I have only one request after I have been away for several months."
Ji Jinrong fell silent.
King Zhennan said: "Your Majesty has agreed." He took off his thin cloak and put it on Ji Jinrong, "The wind is a bit chilly in autumn, Your Majesty, don't freeze."
Ji Jinrong: "...only a few steps away."
King Zhennan stared at Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong was very timid: "Okay, I'll keep it. However, in a few days, it will be colder—" Don't expect him to wear it until winter.
The King of Zhennan was very considerate: "I heard that Xiliang people are good at making sable furs, and I will send someone to bring them back for Your Majesty."
Throughout the day, Ji Jinrong felt King Zhennan's gaze fixed on him. In the evening, King Zhennan had dinner with Ji Jinrong as usual.
I ate southern dishes, which were light. During this period of time, Ji Jinrong ate too many grilled and braised dishes, so he would have a great appetite for a change of taste, and he didn't dislike their blandness at all.
When Ji Jinrong was half full, he talked to King Zhennan about the Turkic envoy.
The Turks are a nation of horses, and they migrated with the water. Their Khan was an ambitious man who occupied the most fertile land and built a capital called Heisha City. At that time, the Turks attached to Rouran and made iron for Rouran, which belonged to "technical work". Compared with other horse ethnic groups, Turks have a higher degree of mastery of ironmaking and other technologies, and are better at learning from the Central Plains.
Fortunately, the Turkic interior is not monolithic.
First of all, Turkic is not a single ethnic group, but a mixture of multiple ethnic groups, collectively referred to as "Turkic" because they share the Turkic language. As the son grows older, his ambitions gradually expand, and the relationship with his brothers becomes more delicate. This is another point that can be exploited.
What Ji Jinrong has to do is to unite all forces that can be united and drive apart all enemies that can be separated. For example, the envoy who looks quite pleasing to the eye seems to be quite suitable for helping.
People, even if they don't have ambitions at first, will be born with ambitions when they encounter opportunities.
In front of the King of Zhennan, Ji Jinrong didn't care about his little stammer, and told his whole plan. He didn't care about the survival of Da Qi, but after seeing Wei Guohou, Han Shizhi and others, he felt that he should do something.
No way, the Turks are too bullying!
The land is all given away, and the former emperor has to call them Khan "Father Emperor"! It's no wonder that the civil and military officials in the whole court have no face to let the first emperor go to court diligently. The first emperor has become a son. What are these courtiers who kneel down to worship the first emperor? Grandchildren are not as good!
Even if you want to subjugate the country, you have to let out a sigh of relief first.
Ji Jinrong mentioned the food mentioned by the envoy, and boasted to King Zhennan: "It's so delicious, I yearn for it."
The King of Zhennan instantly understood: "When the minister frees up his hands, he must let His Majesty taste it."
Ji Jinrong smiled and said, "It's exactly what I want."
After eating and drinking, Ji Jinrong practiced calligraphy for a while, feeling a little sleepy. The King of Zhennan ordered someone to bring hot water, and said to Ji Jinrong in the bedroom: "Your Majesty is sleepy, let's take a bath first."
Ji Jinrong: "..."
Seeing that King Zhennan didn't intend to go out, Ji Jinrong didn't care about it, and took off his clothes openly and walked into the water.
Zhennan Wang went over to help Ji Jinrong wash his hair and wipe his back. When Ji Jinrong was washed up and down, he stretched out his arms to pick up Ji Jinrong, and dried Ji Jinrong's hair with his own hands.
The servants came in to carry away the hot water, and it receded like a tide, leaving only Zhennan Wang and Ji Jinrong in the room.
King Zhennan said: "Your Majesty, I will leave tomorrow." He embraced Ji Jinrong from behind, "I don't worry about Your Majesty."
Ji Jinrong slightly clenched his palms.
He said slowly: "Even if I was trapped in the same bed, I have never been harmed by anyone."
As soon as the words fell, Ji Jinrong felt King Zhennan tremble behind him. Ji Jinrong didn't struggle, and let Zhennan Wang's steely arms tighten slowly.
Zhennan Wang kissed Ji Jinrong's slightly red ears: "Your Majesty..."
Ji Jinrong froze.
King Zhennan didn't explain to himself, nor did he persecute him further, but repeated the old saying: "Your Majesty, I will dredge the meridians for you." He still hoped that Ji Jinrong would have a better ability to protect himself. When you are really in danger, you can never rely on others.
Although King Zhennan's voice was earnest, it was not tainted with any lust.
Ji Jinrong struggled and turned around, raised his head and looked at King Zhennan.
King Zhennan tidied up Ji Jinrong's long hair, as if he was not at all anxious to hear Ji Jinrong's answer.
Even if they only have one night.
After a long time, Ji Jinrong let out an "um" and said, "Okay."
If it is "he", there is nothing to tweak. Every time he was seriously ill and was bedridden, "he" would rub his whole body up and down back and forth, saying that he was afraid that he would not be able to use his strength in the future.
King Zhennan kept watching Ji Jinrong. He knew that his majesty was smart, as long as he showed a little trace, his majesty would be able to discover all the truth.
Hearing that Ji Jinrong agreed, he understood that he and Ji Jinrong had returned to the original point, and in Ji Jinrong's heart, he had become that loyal eagle dog again.
But he didn't want to be just a Hawkdog.
King Zhennan couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Ji Jinrong's eyes.
Ji Jinrong's eyelids trembled, his face blushed angrily, and he stammered and cursed: "You, you, you, you are presumptuous!"
King Zhennan put his hands on Ji Jinrong's waist: "It may hurt a lot in the future. If your majesty can't help it, just call out. Don't bite your lip. It will hurt to eat."
Hearing "Eating hurts", Ji Jinrong didn't dare to bite his lower lip.
Zhennan Wang smiled.
He identified the first acupuncture point and began to open up the meridians for Ji Jinrong. This is a technique he learned in another world. Human activities are influenced by meridians, and there are countless intersection points of meridians throughout the body. These intersection points are acupuncture points, large and small. Dredging the meridians up and down along these acupuncture points can make the body more flexible and flexible. Whether it is riding, archery or martial arts, it has great advantages.
Because the meridian itself may be stretched and blocked, it may be very painful when dredging, which is unavoidable.
Ji Jinrong was sweating coldly from the pain, but he really couldn't bear it, and the tears couldn't help but flow down.
Zhennan Wang saw that Ji Jinrong was so uncomfortable, he couldn't help speeding up his movements to unblock all the acupuncture points.
Seeing the teardrops on Ji Jinrong's face, King Zhennan bowed his head and kissed them away, and stretched out his hand to cover Ji Jinrong with the quilt.
Ji Jinrong felt weak all over, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
King Zhennan said: "Your Majesty, this is the happiest day I have had in so many years." His voice contained endless longing, "It is too long for me to see Your Majesty, so long that sometimes I think I will never see you again." Impossible to see. Your Majesty, I have never dared to tell you, I have never dared to tell you what I think in my heart. Because I know that in Your Majesty's heart, I am not a special one. I am just like Changsun Meng and Han Shizhi. —It just happened to appear when His Majesty needs someone to employ."
Ji Jinrong's eyelids moved, but he did not open them.
King Zhennan said: "Your Majesty, I regret it, I regret not telling you—for so many years, I have regretted it every day and every night. Just like your Majesty taught me before, there are some things that you will never fight for if you don't fight for them. It is possible to get it. I should speak out, and I should try my best to become the 'special' person in His Majesty's heart."
Ji Jinrong opened his eyes and looked at King Zhennan.
King Zhennan held Ji Jinrong's palm: "Your Majesty, I don't want to regret it anymore."
Ji Jinrong paused for a moment, then slowly shook King Zhennan's hand.
Zhennan Wang felt a burst of ecstasy.
He said: "Your Majesty, you are tired, go to sleep."
Ji Jinrong closed his eyes again.
King Zhennan did not let go of Ji Jinrong's hand.
It wasn't until Ji Jinrong's breathing became slow and even that King Zhennan stood up, put on his armor and sword, and walked outside the door.
The moonlight outside the door is just right, but the autumn wind is a bit cold. Changsun Meng was on duty outside the dormitory tonight. He stood upright with no expression on his face.
King Zhennan said, "Go down."
Changsun's heart skipped a beat.
Although the king of Zhennan was intimidating, he still mustered up the courage to say: "The humble post is on duty tonight, and you must not leave your post without authorization."
Zhennan Wang said: "I will be on duty tonight."
Changsun Meng still objected, but he felt chills down his spine when he looked at King Zhennan. Even Ji Jinrong couldn't drive Zhennan King away, so what could he do
Changsun Meng could only back down angrily.
Although he left, he didn't go to rest. Instead, he changed positions with other imperial guards, stared at Ji Jinrong's bedroom not far or near, with his ears pricked up, if there was any movement there, he would Will definitely rush over immediately!
King Zhennan didn't go in again.
King Zhennan stood at the door, holding his sword and looking around, as if he was really on watch for Ji Jinrong.
Ji Jinrong in the bedroom turned over and looked out through the heavy curtains. A tall and slender shadow was cast on the door, motionless, as if it had been standing like this for thousands of years.
Ji Jinrong closed his eyes, then opened them again. Opened and closed again.
Looking at the curtains one after another, his thoughts gradually drifted away.
At that time, it was also like this. Every time he was seriously ill, Wei Tingjun didn't feel at ease for anyone, and would personally guard the door every night. At first, he really only thought of Wei Tingjun as a "available person", but Wei Tingjun was so stupid that Ji Jinrong couldn't bear it.
When he heard King Zhennan proposed "night watch", Ji Jinrong understood everything—
He understood who the "sweetheart" that Wei Tingjun was forced to say at the beginning was, he understood who the king of Zhennan was looking at through this skin, he understood why Wei Tingjun was so angry that he died, and he understood why he will be here.
The robbery was born because of him, and it can only be solved by him.
