The favorite concubine of the system is in power

Chapter 178

"What's wrong with my sister? Don't get cold, take good care of your body." Concubine Hui comforted her.

"Thank you sister for your concern, it's just that the smell rushed to the nose for a while."

Emperor Jiawen withdrew his gaze, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up.

First, all the envoys celebrated their birthdays, and then it was the turn of the courtiers and concubines of their own country.

What the southern country sent was a beautiful picture of rivers and mountains made by literati. The brush peaks are continuous, the mountains and rivers are verdant, majestic and meticulous.

What Jing Guo sent was a sculpture of longevity pearls. There are 346 pearls in the whole body of the statue, which are carefully arranged one by one, and piled up into a round and jade-white longevity character, which cannot be made without dexterity.

Xiao Wanwan was an eye-opener. The things these people gave were more elegant than the other.

"Zhang Xuan, envoy of the Liang Kingdom, congratulates His Majesty the Emperor on his health."

His voice was rough, and when he finished speaking, two people came in carrying a wooden box, painted red, engraved with dragon and phoenix patterns, and decorated with gold.

He said: "I have admired your country's horse riding and archery skills for a long time. I have heard that your majesty was unparalleled in bravery when he was young, so I present you with an exquisite carved bow!"

The box was opened, and there was a pitch-black bow inside, which was as tall as half an adult man.

A little eunuch stepped forward, and the envoy handed over the bow to him. The little eunuch didn't expect the bow to be so heavy, so he staggered.

The emissary immediately laughed and said: "The emissary thought it over carefully, thinking that your country is full of strong men, and made the bows and arrows too heavy."

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly fell silent.

Emperor Jiawen's face also sank slightly.

General Chang stepped forward and took the bow, the envoy immediately said: "This general walks steadily, is tall and powerful, and is a brave man!"

Emperor Jiawen looked at the bow and said, "Who made this bow?"

"This bow was made by General Wu Yuan of our country," the envoy said with pride on his face, "General Wu Yuan's archery skills are amazing, one arrow can shoot through a shield at a distance of a hundred steps, and he is quite accomplished in bows and arrows , and is also good at making good bows, General Wu Yuan was full of praise when he heard about His Majesty's heroic deeds, and even entrusted the matter to the minister."

"What's the matter?"

The messenger said: "General Wu Yuan hopes that His Majesty the Emperor can use this bow."

Emperor Jiawen twitched the corners of his mouth: "I understand General Wu Yuan's intentions. I will use this bow. I will use it when hunting in autumn next year."

The messenger said: "Your Majesty, the hunters will not be able to participate in the next autumn."

What he meant was to let Emperor Jiawen show him the bow right now.

What arrogance!Emperor Jiawen is the monarch of a country, how can he let him handle what he says, like a monkey juggler on the street?

Duan Wang said: "Messenger, be careful with your words."

"My lord, don't get angry. The envoy didn't intend to offend. It's just that this gift from the minister is very different from the envoys from the two previous countries. The literati, elegant objects and treasures are only for viewing, and those who are good at bow and archery know that bows are incomparable. Other weapons, if they are not handy, are useless no matter how well-made they are. This bow is heavy, and I am afraid that His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to control this bow."

In the past few years, Zhao Guo has begun to use civil servants. This matter is naturally ridiculed by Liang Guo, who values ​​military commanders. They think that the people of Zhao Guo indulge in romantic pleasures, and even the emperor who is in his position is probably a weak man. torso.
