After the classmate finished saying this, he couldn't help laughing, "I used to laugh at you for taking the imperial examinations, and now I'm going to start doing that. I just hope you don't lose anyone, you are the champion, I'm different from you, don't be successful It's good to be in the top three."
Chu Wei smiled lightly: "You won't."
The classmates laughed, "According to the words of the champion Langji!"
The two of them walked under the Zhuangyuan Building, and the classmate raised his head by chance. When he glanced at the window of the Zhuangyuan Building, he remembered something, pointed to the window and said, "I still remember when I was swimming with you before, right here. At the window, I saw a beautiful man with red lips and white teeth, you said with a red face and withered bones, the skin is just a skin, do you remember?"
Red lips and white teeth? Chu Wei raised his head and glanced at the window. Thinking of the saint, he couldn't help but laugh, and his expression softened a bit, "I naturally remember."
Before the words fell, there was a commotion in the street. The two of them turned around and saw a group of men and horses rushing into the downtown area. They were wearing golden flower robes, and there were gentlemen in front of their belts. The expressions of this group of people were arrogant. They looked tall and had deep facial features. Alien people.
The people and merchants in the busy city fled in a hurry, the goods of the vendors were knocked to the ground in a hurry, and the previously peaceful scene was beaten to pieces by this group of people. Chu Wei's face was cold, but without hesitation, he strode forward and scolded, "My Daheng law is clearly written, it is unacceptable to let a horse make trouble, where are you messengers, you are so arrogant and bold! "
This group of foreigners restrained their horses, looked down at Chu Wei, said a few words in their language as if no one else was there, and then burst out laughing.
The classmates followed, with a smile on their faces and displeased eyes, "Everyone came to my Daheng and laughed at my Daheng officials, isn't it a bit bad?"
The team stopped laughing and looked at each other. After a while, a person walked out slowly behind them. This man was wearing a felt hat, with a youthful appearance and a face like a crown of jade. His slightly curly black hair was scattered under the felt hat. He looked at Chu Wei with a bit of arrogance and interest.
"Are all Daheng officials like this?" The man looked at Chu Wei up and down and raised his lips, "Are they all prettier than women?"
Chu Wei's expression sank, and his handsome face was gloomy.
The foreigner laughed a few times and wanted to say more. The Daheng soldiers who were patrolling had already arrived on this street. They surrounded the cavalry with swords, guns and shields. The leader had a dignified expression and was not very good-looking. "The servants of Xixia, please go to Mingsheng Station first, and we will meet later. If I go to the officials, I'll do the math with you on a horse parade."
When these Xixia people saw these heavily armed infantrymen, their arrogant expressions subsided a little. They looked at the man at the front. The man was about to speak, and the leader of the patrolling soldiers said firmly: "Please."
The Xixia people were forcibly removed from the horse, and the gloom on Chu Wei's face dissipated slightly, and he and his classmates looked at them coldly.
The man who had spoken to him before was still interested. He pointed at Chu Wei and asked the patrolling soldier, "Who is this person?"
The leader of the patrolling soldiers looked at Chu Wei, and instead of replying to his words, he nodded and said, "Master Chu, I am waiting here, you can do what you want."
Chu Wei nodded with him, the blue veins on the back of his hand had appeared, and his classmate whispered: "Look at this dress, it should be a noble of Xixia. Zihu, don't be impulsive, I will leave first."
Chu Wei endured and said, "Let's go."
*
In the early morning of the second day, the Western Xia messenger's horse parade was presented to Gu Yuanbai's table.
This matter looks familiar. If I remember correctly, Xue Yuan once left a name on Gu Yuanbai because of such a thing. Gu Yuanbai's face was expressionless, and he knocked on the table in a deep voice, "Since the envoys from Xixia have come to Daheng, they should be dealt with according to Daheng's laws. If they are dissatisfied, let their emperor personally write to me to express dissatisfaction."
"Yes," said the governor of the capital, "Your Majesty, among the envoys of Xixia who came to Beijing this time, there is also a prince of Xixia."
"Prince Li Angshun," Gu Yuanbai threw the memorial on the table and snorted coldly, "Keep an eye on him."
The governor of the capital should saluted and retired.
Gu Yuanbai's birthday was at the end of September. In the middle of September, Dali Temple stopped accepting criminal prosecutions. Before Gu Yuanbai stopped working at Dali Temple, he deliberately took time out to investigate the cases handled by Dali Temple during this period of time. After leaving the Dali Temple, it was still early, and the carriage slowly walked towards the palace.
When passing a teahouse, Gu Yuanbai heard a familiar voice from outside the carriage, "What do you want to do?"
The sound was cold and icy, like spit ice. Then, another thick voice with an alien accent sounded, "I want to talk to the officials of Daheng."
Gu Yuanbai frowned, half lifted the curtain of the car, and looked outside. In front of Zhang's bookstore, a man in Xixia clothing was blocking Chu Wei.
Chu Wei's face was very ugly, and his fingers pinched many fingerprints in the palm of his hand, but he still managed to hold back his anger. He said bluntly, "I will not accompany you."
Li Angshun's face is like a crown of jade, with deep facial features and a high nose bridge. He is very handsome, but his actions are barbaric. Seeing that Chu Wei was about to leave, he took another step to the side, and said with great interest, "Is your Daheng hospitality such a rudeness?"
Who is being disrespectful? Chu Wei's temple is bulging. The man he hates most in his life is this kind of man. After being entangled, he can hardly maintain his surface etiquette at this time.
At this moment, a low-key carriage drove by the street, the curtain of the car window was slightly lifted, and a voice sounded, "Master Chu, come here."
Chu Wei's expression was stunned for a moment. He looked back at the carriage before he regained his senses. His expression loosened and he was a little annoyed. He quickly stepped forward and saluted in a low voice, "Your Highness."
Prince Xixia, who was trying to keep up with Chu Wei, was stopped by the guards. The curtain of the car was lifted slightly, and the sage's anger was revealed. Chu Wei glanced at it and was seen by the sage. The faint shadows that were born from this scene slowly dissipated.
"Prince Xixia is very courageous," Sheng Shang was overjoyed, his tone was threatening, "On the land of my Daheng Dynasty, at the feet of my emperor, come to insult my Daheng officials."
He read the words slowly, and the corners of his lips were straight. Just looking at these lips made him feel extremely cold.
Prince Xixia was stopped in the distance, intuition that this person should not be provoked, he bent down and wanted to see the whole face of this person from the car window. However, with only a thin and tight chin and pale lips, Prince Xixia asked, "Dare to ask your Excellency?"
The person in the car gave a sneer and continued: "I, Daheng, wear the crown of the country, and the state of etiquette. Since the envoys of Xixia have entered Daheng, they must learn the rules of my Daheng. Since they are so ignorant, they will be in the country. Stay in Mingsheng Station, and come out when you learn the etiquette."
Because the treasury is abundant, the grain and grass are full, the soldiers are strong and powerful, and Gu Yuanbai is full of confidence. Facing Xixia, who has gradually declined due to extravagance these years, he can directly assume the posture of a big brother.
The guard who stopped Prince Xixia said solemnly: "Please, Your Excellency."
Prince Xixia watched Chu Wei get on the carriage, the horse's hooves raised, and the good horse walked slowly and left under the guard of many guards.
Prince Xixia's face was calm, feeling ashamed, and secretly winked at his own people in the crowd.
My own person nodded and followed the carriage wisely.
*
Above the carriage, the light was dim.
Chu Wei sat aside, bowed his head, and said nothing. He looked very depressed and depressed.
Gu Yuanbai's expression was not very good-looking, he looked at Chu Wei like this, sighed, and whispered to comfort: "Is Chu Qing okay?"
Chu Wei said in a low voice, "This minister has caused chaos for the Sage."
Gu Yuanbai snorted coldly and said warmly, "How can you be considered to be causing trouble for you? Those Xixia people are arrogant and arrogant. They don't know how to restrain themselves on the land of Daheng, and they clearly don't take Daheng in their eyes."
As he said these words, his eyes darkened. It is precisely because of this that he said that Daheng needs a big victory, and use the big victory to give a demonstration at home and abroad.
Let the people of Xixia know that in this land, Daheng used to be the eldest brother, and now he is still their eldest brother, and the eldest brother's temperament has changed, and he will no longer condone the younger brother Sa Ye rolling.
Chu Wei was about to speak again, when suddenly there was the sound of horses approaching outside, and inaudible whispers rang out. Gu Yuanbai lifted the curtain to take a look, but was facing Xue Yuan's bent down face.
Xue Yuan didn't seem to think that Gu Yuanbai would lift the curtain, a bit of surprise flashed in his eyes, his eyebrows were drawn into his temples, and his evil spirits were flying. His breath was about to rush to Gu Yuanbai's face, and when he regained his senses, he smiled, and the hot air came mixed with a smile.
Gu Yuanbai glanced at him, and looked at the horse under Xue Yuan's crotch several times, "Why is Hongyun here with you?"
Xue Yuan was still bent over, holding the reins with one hand and pressing the top of the carriage with the other to stabilize his body. He smiled at Gu Yuanbai, "Will you take a look?"
Gu Yuanbai lowered his head and looked at the horse carefully, only to realize that there was a circle of dark hair on the top of the horse's hoof, like a black rope. This horse is strong and arrogant, staring at Gu Yuanbai with fierce eyes.
The carriage was still moving slowly, and the horse under Xue Yuan was also crushed to a very slow speed. The horse neighed in dissatisfaction, and was taught a lesson mercilessly by Xue Yuan.
"Here comes another one," Gu Yuanbai couldn't take his eyes away from seeing such a good horse now, as if he saw a good car, "How did you get it?"
"There are more and more foreigners coming to celebrate the saint in the capital," Xue Yuan said slowly, "I bought this horse with three good horses and two little wolves."
Seeing that Gu Yuanbai was still looking at the horse under his crotch, Xue Yuan whispered like a secret: "Sir, do you think this horse is a male or a female?"
Male horses are taller and more powerful than female horses. Gu Yuanbai knew it was a male horse just by looking at it, and he said unceremoniously, "Don't care if it is male or female, this horse has been favored by Zhen. "
Xue Yuan couldn't hold back his laughter, and pretended to be distressed: "Kechen was invited by the prince and the prince to sit in the mansion. If there is no horse, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time."
"And the prince invites you to sit in the mansion?" Gu Yuanbai frowned.
"Yes," Xue Yuan straightened his back, he glanced sideways at Gu Yuanbai, and suddenly frowned, "Why is the sage's lips red? Is the tea scalding, or is someone else angry?"
Gu Yuanbai was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help reaching out and touched his lips.
Xue Yuan's eyes suddenly became a little forbear, he turned his eyes restrainedly, and met the captain of the guard on the other end.
The head guard was anxious and opened his mouth silently: "Guard Xue, pay attention to Lord Chu."
Xue Yuan saw his mouth shape, raised his eyebrows, and nodded without changing his expression. The captain of the guard sighed in relief, his expression faintly relieved.
Gu Yuanbai withdrew his hand and continued to ask about the previous matter, "When did the Prince and Prince invite you to the palace for a seat?"
"It was the day I returned to the capital from the summer palace," Xue Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled gracefully, "I have a conversation with the prince who sent someone to invite the minister. Naturally, the minister does not know why, but the prince has an order and dare not refuse to listen."
After speaking, Xue Yuan thought for a while and felt that this was not acceptable, so Youyou changed his mouth and said, "I feel very honored, so I don't think it is impossible not to go."
"It's a coincidence," Gu Yuanbai pondered for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "I may not have gone to see Prince He for a long time, and now I finally came out. If that's the case, let's go and see together."
And the prince and Xue Yuan.
What could it be related to
