The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 7 The back of the divine bird, the mystery of etiquette

Guyu.

Ping begins to grow; a dove flies over its feathers; Dai Ren falls to the mulberry tree.

The spring rain is like cow hair, flying in abundance, like floating catkins, filling the palace garden.

The palace becomes deeper and more solemn.

In the pavilion of Huizhi Palace, Bai Zhi stood quietly, watching his daughter playing in the drizzle. The crisp laughter echoed in his ears, which also made Bai Zhi forget the troubles of the world and immerse himself in this quiet and peaceful place. middle.

Children are innocent, happy and carefree, but Nannan is a princess of the Qin Kingdom and was named "Xia" by the Qin Lord.

There is a great reason for etiquette to be summer!

Nannan is also a person who knows etiquette.

Bai Zhi also knew that Nannan's life seemed to be unsatisfactory in the palace. Her mother was an ordinary Qin girl whom the current Qin Jun Yingsi met when he was the prince.

After giving birth to her daughter, Qin Nu died.

Because of her mother's identity, Nannan's identity was not recognized by the Qin clan. However, Qin Jun loved Nannan, raised her in the palace, and took great care of her.

There was still a bit of coolness in the sky, and a palace maid came forward to dissuade her from playing in the rain for too long.

Hearing this, Nannan thanked the palace maid for the reminder. As soon as she came back, she saw a tall figure appearing in front of her.

"Father!"

I saw an old man with a bronze mask appearing in the pavilion. He was the man who taught Nannan how to read before.

Bai Zhi already knew that he was Gongzi Qian, who had been the mentor of Qin Jun Ying Si, and was also the brother of Qin Jun Ying Si's father.The king of Qin violated the new law when he was the prince, and he was punished as a prince and had his nose cut off.

So every time he appears, he wears a bronze mask.

Seeing the little girl's serious salute, Master Qian showed a satisfied smile on his lips.

He said a few words to Nannan, and then said: "I am here to see His Excellency the Divine Bird!"

Young Master Qian looked at Bai Zhi who was standing on the table and said respectfully: "Now the envoys from the six eastern countries are gathered in Chaoyang City. When the time comes, they will enter Xianyang Palace to see the true appearance of His Majesty the Divine Bird."

As if to reassure Bai Zhi, Young Master Qian continued: "But please rest assured, Your Majesty the Divine Bird. Your Majesty has made an agreement with the kings of the six eastern countries that the matter of the Divine Bird cannot be told outside, and only exists in secret volumes!"

Three days have passed since the last time Qin Jun Ying Si came to ask Bai Zhi to come forward.

Gongzi Qian looked at the increasingly magical bird and couldn't help but compare it with when he first saw it.

At the beginning, the divine bird just bloomed with golden light.But now, the divine bird appears with colorful feathers, and at the same time.A mysterious pattern appeared on the back of the sacred bird, and the pattern was like a Qin seal script - the word "Li"!

He secretly asked others to test it. He asked a Chu man to watch the back of the sacred bird. The Chu man said: The sacred bird carries Chu Wen on its back, and Chu knows the ritual!
Prince Qian was unwilling to accept it and sent people from Qi to watch. The people from Qi said: People in Qi are a country of etiquette. The sacred bird is polite, which is the word Qi.

……

At this point, Gongzi Qian has understood that he is more respectful to the divine bird.

The word on the back of the sacred bird is the word "Li", but when people from any country look at it, they think it is the word of their own country.

"good!"

Bai Zhi nodded, then looked at Nannan aside and said, "In that case, let's go!"

His speech gradually became smoother and no longer awkward.

……

……

The people of Qin are still black, and the palace of Qin is majestic.

On the royal road in front of Xianyang Palace, soldiers were wearing armor and holding weapons, looking majestic and solemn.

The majestic palace is like an ancient giant beast, entrenched on the earth, with raised horns and eaves, and intrigues. The kings and ministers of Xianyang City are living in it.

"Xuan, the envoys from the six countries have entered the palace!"

"Xuan, the envoys from the six countries have entered the palace!"

……

As the waiters sang, the envoys from the six countries all held festival banners. Under the leadership of the waiters from the Qin Palace, they slowly entered the majestic Xianyang Palace.In the Xianyang Palace, the Qin people's civil and military officials were lined up on the left and right, watching their entry. At the top, the current Lord Qin was sitting on the throne, watching the envoys from the six countries slowly entering.

"My lord, I have met Mr. Qin!"

The envoys bowed respectfully and politely.

"waived!"

"Give a seat!"

When the envoys from the six countries sat down, one of them, who was dressed in uniform, spoke up first and said loudly: "My king heard that half a month ago, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky and earth in your country. A long rainbow penetrated the sun. There was also a black bird descending. In this world, it fell in front of Princess Xia and flew around endlessly. I wonder if it is true?"

"It's true!"

Qin Jun Yingsi nodded, then looked at the six envoys from the six countries who were sitting there, and said directly: "I know the purpose of the six coming, and the fate of the mysterious bird is indeed true!"

"And the six countries in the east are brothers of Qin. With such auspiciousness, it is natural to share it with other countries."

"ran;"

"However, the black bird is magical and cannot be touched. Only my princess Xia can get close to it. Therefore, I invite the envoys from the six eastern countries to come and have a look!"

Qin Jun's words naturally made the envoys of the six countries look grateful.When they first heard about the arrival of a black bird in the Qin State, the envoys of the six eastern countries were all frightened, wishing that the black bird had descended on their own country.

However, Xuanniao came to the Qin State. The Qin State was located in a corner of the west. The six eastern countries despised it, regarded it as a barbarian, and often despised it.

But at this time, they asked to see Xuanniao, which was inevitably out of favor. Unexpectedly, they had just sent a letter to inquire about the details, and Qin Guo took the initiative to invite them, and sent him a pillow when he was really sleepy.

The envoys from the six countries all showed expectant looks, wishing they could immediately see the magical bird and remember it, remember it, and report it to the king when they return home!

At this time, Qin Jun Ying Si looked at the envoys from Wei and Qi among the envoys and said: "Wei envoy, Qi envoy?"

"The envoy is here!"

The envoys of Wei and Qi responded quickly.

"Did the king of your country say anything else when you were traveling to and from Qin?"

Hearing this, the two envoys were stunned, and their heads below the ground couldn't help but glance at each other. From each other's eyes, they both saw Qin Jun's intention.

Obviously, the King of Qin is still anxious about the appointment of the Prime Minister of Xuzhou some time ago. The King of Qin went there with the intention of becoming the Prime Minister together, but he was insulted by Qi and Wei.

At this time, it is the time when they are seeking Qin, but as envoys to other countries, they naturally represent the interests of their own country, and every word and deed represents the words and deeds of their own country, so they must not say or do anything wrong!
"Go back to Mr. Qin..."

The two of them thought about it for a moment, and the envoy of Qi spoke first, saying: "When my king came, he said: 'The Lord of Qin wanted to become the king, but due to bad luck, he failed to become the king. When the other Qin kings come to become the king, I will definitely come in person. Let’s be king together!’.”

"Is this the original words of King Qi?"

Qin Jun Yingsi didn't believe a word of it.

"Exactly."

Seeing the Qi envoy nodding, Qin Jun Yingsi had no intention of continuing to ask. Looking at the Wei envoy again, the Wei envoy also nodded together, obviously saying the same thing.

Qin Jun Yingsi was not in the mood, and originally wanted to repay the humiliation of the Prime Minister of Xuzhou by watching the sacred bird in advance, but when he thought about it, it was too easy for them.

And that’s not the focus of today’s matter. It would be inappropriate if it offends the divine bird!

"In that case, let's invite the divine bird!"

Qin Jun Yingsi stood up from the table and looked outside the palace.

At this time, the sound of bells and chimes sounded, clear and crisp; drums and orchestral music, guqin melodious, and elegant music burst out.

Suddenly there were drums and thunder, and "Qin Feng" matched it.

"Your Majesty said: Please invite the divine bird!"

"Invite the divine bird..."

Outside the palace, the waiters sang.

　Ask for collection!
