Volume 1: My name is Ning Caichen Chapter 520: Etiquette of greetings

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    "Your Majesty is here."

    The palace man did not give Ning Caichen time to react and walked forward first.

    Court etiquette dictates that the palace servants lead the way, so Ning Caichen didn't say anything and just followed.  But the further they walked, the more confused Ning Caichen became.

    This is strange. To meet the emperor, he did not go to the palace, but to the corpse of Centipede. Why is Emperor Zuo of Liao Tian also here?

    Ning Caichen searched for any clothing related to dragon robes, but after looking around, he didn't see any.

    "The envoy of the Song Dynasty did not kneel down when he saw His Majesty!" The palace man walked directly to the man who was taking the knife to chop the corpse of the centipede.

    This is the emperor?  Are you not mistaken?

    Clothes made of animal skins, with braids on their heads, decorated with jade rings and jade beads.  It seems so non-mainstream.

    This is another inducement from shameless literati, saying that nomadic people admire Han culture.  So much so that Ning Caichen, a time traveler, would look for someone to wear a dragon robe.

    But this is definitely not the case. Nomads attach great importance to their traditions and will not change them easily.  On the contrary, the Han people who call themselves Huaxia are more likely to change themselves to cater to others, saying that nomads admire Han culture, Sinicization, and national integration.  It would be better to say that the Han people changed themselves, catered to others, and were integrated by others.

    ¡°Don¡¯t you see, ethnic minorities in future generations still have their own national costumes and national languages.  What about the Han people?  Without its own clothes, even the language is not the Chinese accent, so how can we talk about China?

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT THE DRAWINGS

    "In future generations, whether these two points are achieved or not, even a blind person will know.

    Emperor Tianzuo wore Hu clothes and had a beard, which was their national costume.

    ¡°And this ritual of kneeling down is rarely used by Han people. Kneeling to the sky, kneeling to the ground, and kneeling to your parents is the true Han ritual.

    On the contrary, it is the Hu people who prefer others to kneel to themselves.  Enjoy the thrill of being high above.

    It¡¯s just that he chose the wrong person this time. Neither the Ning Caichen from time travel nor the Ning Caichen of this era will kneel down to him.  Maybe even sarcastically say "Why do you kneel down to the barbarians?"

    I don¡¯t want to mention him a few words.  When Liao and Jin were fighting, Ning Caichen got angry.  "The envoy from the Song Dynasty met with the Emperor of Liao."

    It¡¯s enough to bow your hands and salute.  This is the etiquette of the Han people.

    "The king is taken lightly, but the people are taken seriously."  Who will kneel to a king, or the king of barbarians?

    Seeing that Ning Caichen did not kneel down, the palace attendant was very angry and yelled: "Bold!"

    Emperor Tian Zuo waved his hand: "Forget it."

    "But Your Majesty, you must not be soft on the Han people! These Han people are cheap. Only by letting them lie on the ground and be with the soil can they understand which is the sky and which is the earth."

    The person who spoke was an orange peel, dressed in the same Hufu.  No one introduced him, so Ning Caichen didn't know who he was.

    In fact, the introduction is useless. Today's Liao is inevitably destroyed.  The Liao Kingdom fell.  How many of them survived?

    Ning Caichen is not so bored knowing the last name of a dying person.

    Emperor Tian Zuo walked around the centipede spirit and looked at it non-stop. He said as if he didn't care whether Ning Caichen knelt or not, "There is no need for these false etiquettes. If the Han people really have that ability, then they are not Han people. They will still be ruled by us."  . There is nothing to bother with rude and incompetent people."

    He is quite open-minded.

    Strength is the most important thing.  If you really have that ability, come and beat me.  Just no courtesy, no handshake, etc., so I don¡¯t lose anything.  I am not a Han Chinese, so I need face.  In the end, it is not you Han people who are embarrassed, because you are incompetent and only dare to vent like this.

    It¡¯s like killing a pig, the sound it makes when killing is so loud and deafening.  Is it possible that you still want to get angry with pigs?  The louder it screams, the happier I am eating.

    These internal and external things.  Emperor Tianzuo understood, but he didn't want to say it.

    This angered the commander next to him, Yelu Zhangnu, the Khitan who just spoke.

    Yelv Zhangnu, whose courtesy name is Temoyan, is the queen of Ji's father's house.  His father was a traitor and he was raised high but not in office.  Zhang Numing is good at talking.

    Da'anzhong.  The supplementary card is Yin Langjun.  In the first year of Qiantong's reign, he moved to Youzhongcheng, and also received the title of Yinsu Zhishi.  In the sixth year, he was not cautious about staying here, so he came to know his inner guests to save trouble.  In the fourth year of Tianqing's reign, he was awarded the title of Deputy Envoy of the Northeast Road Commanding Army.  Five years later, he learned about the military affairs of Xianzhou Road.  When Tian Zuo personally recruited women, Xiao Hudu was appointed as the vanguard commander and Zhang Nu was appointed as the governor.  The army crossed the Duck River, and Zhang Nu, together with the king of Wei, Chun's wife and brother Xiao Dili, and his nephew Xiao Yanliu, etc., plotted to establish Chun and lured more than 300 generals to return.  Since Tianzuo was defeated by Nuzhi, Zhang Nu sent the enemy to the enemy's camp and stayed there to abolish it and set up something to report to Chun.

    Chun hesitated.  Yi Xin, the envoy from Huixing Palace, arrived holding Tian Zuo's royal letter.Preparing for the news that Zhang Nu had rebelled against his orders, Chun cried out to the envoy and immediately killed the enemy and kept his head as an offering to Tian Zuo.

    Seeing that Chun refused to obey, Yelv Zhangnu lured hundreds of grass bandits to attack and plunder the capital, taking away the property from the treasury.  When he arrived at Zuzhou, he led his staff to report to the Taizu Temple: "Our foundation of the Liao Dynasty was formed by Taizu's hundreds of battles. Today, the earth collapsed, and I saw that Emperor Xingzong, King Sunwei, was pure and moral, able to manage the world and bring peace to the people. Ministers, etc.  I want to establish the country to take charge of the country. Huichun is a good meadow, but the great thing has not been successful. Recently, Tian Zuo has only followed pleasure and will not bear any chance. Strong enemies are bullying, masters and disciples are defeated. With the rise of thieves, the country is in danger. Ministers and others  The members of the Tieyu clan are blessed with blessings in the world. They want to calm the spirits of the nine temples and save the lives of all people, so they do this. They are truly sincere and hope that Saint Lei will bless them."

    ??Going west to Qingzhou, they resumed worshiping in various temples, and still stated the intention of raising troops. They moved to appeal to the officials in the prefectures, counties, and various mausoleums, and the soldiers were slightly attentive.

    At that time, Bohai and Hou Gai from Raozhou came to respond one after another, numbering in the tens of thousands and approaching Guangpingdian.  His party Yelu Nugu and others were violent and lawless, plundering women's property and livestock.  Zhang Nudu was unable to control him, and he harbored regrets. He also attacked Beijing but failed, so he went north and surrendered to the captives.  The Shun Kingdom's daughter Zhi Ah Chan led an army to pursue and defeat him. She killed his general Yelu Milizhi and captured more than 200 nobles. Their wives served as servants in the embroidery courtyard, or scattered the close servants as maids. The rest who escaped escaped.  Zhang Nu pretended to be a messenger and wanted to go to Nuzhi. He was captured by Luo Zhi, bound and sent away, and executed.

    ¡°This shows that this person is a conservative, in today¡¯s terms he is a great Khitan nationalist.

    Ning Caichen's refusal to kneel not only aroused his dissatisfaction, but even made Emperor Tian Zuo hate him.

    Of course, Ning Caichen didn't know about this change, because he didn't know his name.  Even if he knew it, Ning Caichen would not admit that it was because of him that Yelv Zhangnu would rebel in the future.  But he wouldn't mind at all if he took advantage of it.

    "It's a pity that after he did so much work, Emperor Zuo of Liao Tian was more interested in Centipede Jing's body than he, the true god.

    After looking at the centipede spirit, I ran to look at the sea.

    Seeing that Fahai was sealed by ice, he actually reached out to touch it intentionally.

    "Your Majesty, you can't touch it." Xiao Baili kept watching and saw Emperor Liao Tianzuo reaching out to touch it.  Blocked it immediately.

    He knows that his Majesty is a very curious person, so he likes to do what he likes, but he is also careful and cautious.  You can't be careful, it just suits you.  At best he can be considered a sycophant, but if he hurts His Majesty because of this, he can't afford the punishment.  Even the position of ruler cannot be maintained.

    With the establishment of the Khitan people, the population expanded like a breath of air, hundreds and thousands of times.  But this country is so big and official positions are limited.  There are many people eyeing this position of the Imperial Camp Commander.

    What is even more dangerous is that the Khitan people do not appoint officials based on their ability.  But by blood.  The person named Xiao is always a bit worse than the person named Yelu.

    To be honest, Xiao is not the big surname. In order to balance the contradiction between the two surnames, it is not his turn to hold the same position in the capital.

    Although his name is Baili, he knows that he is not as talented as Baili.  Therefore, he was careful and cautious towards Emperor Liao Tianzuo, not giving anyone the chance to touch him.

    Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty didn't know his hard work. When he saw that he was blocking him, he looked dissatisfied: "Xiao Dutong, why are you blocking me?"

    Seeing him dissatisfied.  Even more respectfully: "Your Majesty, the ice on this monk's body is extremely cold. In order to bring him here, many sergeants suffered frostbite."

    "Oh? Is that so?" Emperor Liao Tianzuo's curiosity was aroused.

    When Xiao Baili saw him, he immediately waved back.

    Immediately, a sergeant came over carrying a bucket filled with river water.

    Xiao Baili said to Emperor Liao Tianzuo: "Your Majesty, I will demonstrate this to Your Majesty."

    "Demonstration? Good demonstration!" Emperor Tian Zuo didn't know how he demonstrated, but with his curiosity, he didn't care how his subordinates demonstrated.  Even if he catches a Han citizen and throws him up, he won't stop him.  As long as he sees clearly and satisfies his curiosity.

    Xiao Baili also persuaded Emperor Tianzuo to stay away to avoid splashing water on him, and then

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Throw a bucket of water on it.  It froze immediately.  No, the water froze before it completely touched Fahai.

    Does water turn into ice immediately?  Where have they seen this?  Emperor Tianzuo was stunned for a moment, then immediately clapped his hands and laughed: "Okay, okay! Go get water quickly and do it again."

    He had so much fun that he even poured a bucket of water with his own hands.

    Ning Caichen was so confused that he didn¡¯t know what to say.  Although Fahai is a bit stubborn.  He can barely be considered an enemy, but no matter how you say it, he is still an eminent monk.

    The Arhat in this world has become a toy?

    I am really speechless, so speechless!

    It wasn¡¯t until he was tired from playing that Emperor Zuo finally thought of business.  "Who donated these two pieces?"

    A centipede spirit and a Fahai are just two objects in his eyes, and a personInteresting objects.

    Xiao Baili pointed at Ning Caichen and said, "This is the envoy of the Song Dynasty."

    He wanted to come down, but Emperor Tianzuo had already seen the person, and he had a conflict with King Yelu.  He thought for a moment and pushed Ning Caichen out.

    He was also happy to see Emperor Tian Zuo.

    As I said before, Emperor Zuo was generous with rewards when he was happy.  Now that he was happy, Xiao Baili knew that his reward could not be lost, so he stopped fighting for Ning Caichen.

    Yes, his original intention was to win Ning Caichen to his side. After all, he was also a mage.  But this was before the conflict between Ning Caichen and Yelu Xiaowang. He was not willing to conflict with a prince over a Han.

    The Han people were of little use. Even if they knew magic, they would not be able to gain a firm foothold in the Liao Kingdom, let alone be promoted. Naturally, they would not be of much value.

    Now he naturally wants to sever ties with Ning Caichen, for no other reason than because his people are really unreasonable.

    If he says that the centipede spirit is his, then Xiao Wang Yelu, who was attracted by the centipede spirit corpse and suffered a big loss in front of a group of Han people, will definitely bear a grudge against him.

    This is not a possibility, but a fact.  He knew that his people had this temperament.  That's why he is so generous.

    ?????????????????????????????????But the hatred value is still with the Song people.  This is why Emperor Tianzuo asked who donated it, and he immediately pointed to Ning Caichen.  He wanted everyone to know and see that these two things belonged to Song people and had nothing to do with him.  What's more important is that it reached the ears of King Yelu.

    Seeing that it was presented by Ning Caichen, Emperor Tianzuo raised his head high and could only use his nostrils to see people. If his nostrils could see people, maybe he actually did so.  "Song Envoy, tell me, what reward do you want?"

    Ning Caichen raised his head sharply.  This is so unexpected.  What reward?  But he immediately lowered his head.  "The envoys of the Song Dynasty were sent on the order of our emperor to relieve the worries of the two countries."

    "Haha!" Emperor Tian Zuo laughed loudly, "Okay! Okay! Okay!"

    He is really happy.  He said in his heart: This Song Dynasty man is not bad. Look at my bravery.  He didn't even dare to take another look, so he was so frightened by the extraordinary bravery of me (Hu people rarely called me, and it was only in the Yuan Dynasty that this was settled).  good!  good!  Very good!  Have a discerning eye!

    Emperor Tianzuo laughed and returned to the palace. Ning Caichen still didn't know what was going on.

    Ning Caichen didn¡¯t know, but Xiao Baili knew.

    This Khitan people founded their country with nobility, and as the emperor of the Khitan people, Emperor Tianzuo.  The arrogance is boundless.

    Emperor Tianzuo always thought that he was extraordinary and that anyone who saw him should be shocked, and anything that came into his hands should be solved easily.

    This is his nobility, his arrogance.

    Such nobility and arrogance were only realized after Xiao Baili came to him, so he was unable to use them.  "Awesome! That's how good you Song people are. You can watch people's emotions. It's really incomparable!" Xiao Baili sighed with emotion.

    He has met the literati of the Song Dynasty and knows that they are good at flattering, but they are so powerful.  He knew how to scratch an itch at a glance, and this was the first time he had seen it.

    As for the facts

    "Don't say whether this mortal has this kind of momentum, even if he does, will Ning Caichen be afraid of him?  is it possible?

    it's out of the question.

    The real situation is that Emperor Tian Zuo¡¯s nose hair was exposed when he raised his head.

    In this Mobei area, the air is full of floating soil, and the nasal cavities of people who have lived here for a long time cannot be seen. It is too disgusting.

    But he just raised his head, exposing his nose hair.  And Ning Caichen had excellent eyesight.  Just one glance almost made him vomit, so of course he had to bow his head.

    The ignorant Emperor Tianzuo was proud, while the misunderstood Xiao Baili was envious.  But he couldn't envy such a thing, because he had already passed the opportunity to do so.

    Emperor Tianzuo is just paranoid, not an idiot.  When we met for the first time, I was scared.  He will be proud and think it is the style of a king; but he will be angry when he does this after staying together for so long, because the person doing this is clearly playing tricks on him.

    Xiao Baili: "Envoy Song, please come!"

    " Envy didn't come, so he had to pretend not to see it. Not only him, but everyone who knew Emperor Tian Zuo's temperament looked at Ning Caichen with envy and jealousy.

    Yelv Zhangnu even said in a hateful voice: "Damn people from the Song Dynasty! Complete flatterers!"

    Xiao Baili glanced at Yelu Zhangnu and said nothing, because he wanted to scold him like this too.  "Envoy Song, follow me into the palace. Your Majesty is waiting for you to pay homage?"

    After going around in a circle, Ning Caichen was able to go to see Emperor Tianzuo and do business.

    Shangjing in the Liao Dynasty was built on rammed earth, so it cannot be said to be tall.  Nothing to do?, the characteristics of the soil itself determine its height.

    The same is true for the palace, which even has a low and depressing feeling.  Entering the palace, the floor is covered with carpets.

    Ning Caichen didn¡¯t know carpets.  However, it is said that this Liao man owns a Persian carpet, which is considered valuable and in line with his royal status.

    It¡¯s okay if you just lay down carpet.  what is that?  bearskin.  What is that?  Tiger skin.

    When I looked up, I saw a large plaque above Emperor Tianzuo's chair, which was written in Khitan script. However, Ning Caichen thought it would be more appropriate to write the three characters "Juyi Hall" on it.

    Whether it¡¯s the city¡¯s architecture, the furnishings inside, or what they¡¯ve been doing.  "Juyi Hall" is definitely closer to reality than "Justice" and "Qianqing Palace".

    "Envoy Song comes forward and kneels down to worship our emperor." The dead eunuch stood on a step under the dragon chair, shouting with a voice like a drake, long and high-pitched.

    Emperor Tianzuo was sitting on the dragon chair.

    To be honest, Ning Caichen has always been suspicious of this monkey wearing a crown. How can this scholar not dress elegantly?

    But after seeing Emperor Zuo of Liao Tian, ??Ning Caichen suddenly understood.  To say that he was an emperor was more like a mountain king. No wonder Aguda dismissed him.

    Not to mention that the clothes don¡¯t match the dragon chair, it¡¯s just this look.  People who saw it not only did not feel that he was majestic and noble, but also felt the urge to go up and punch him.

    His grandma deserves a beating!

    Ning Caichen took a step forward and saluted with clasped fists: "The envoy of Song Dynasty is paying homage to His Majesty the Emperor of Liao Kingdom on the order of our emperor."

    Ning Caichen didn¡¯t kneel down, so the eunuch became angry.  "Bold Song people, why don't you kneel down when you see my emperor?"

    Ning Caichen raised his head and glanced at him: "Han people do not have the etiquette of kneeling and worshiping."

    Eunuch: "How presumptuous! I, the Liao Dynasty, are my father, and your little Song Dynasty is my son. It is the law of heaven and earth for a son to kneel to his father. You, a Song Dynasty man, still don't kneel down."

    Don't look at it as an eunuch, you know a lot.  The status gap between Song and Liao was also the reason for the alliance between Song and Jin.

    What¡¯s more important is that what this damn eunuch said is extremely reasonable.

    Didn¡¯t you say that the Han people do not have the etiquette of kneeling and worshiping?  Then let¡¯s talk about this father and son.

    From the Five Dynasties, the later Jin Dynasty called Liao the father's country and claimed to be the son's emperor. In the Song Dynasty, it called the Jin the country of the uncle and continued to pay tribute every year.

    Everyone knows that the Han people do not have the etiquette of kneeling down.  But they are not Han people, they are Hu people. It is very common for Hu people to kneel down and worship, and it is also a way for them to show their superiority.

    "Kneeling or not kneeling, as long as it is a Hu Dynasty, all attach great importance to it.

    It can be said that every time a Song envoy comes, they will be entangled in this.  For this reason, they did not hesitate to study Sinology.

    The Han people do not have the etiquette of kneeling down to worship their relatives, but the Han people also kneel down to worship their relatives. This is what the eunuch learned.

    The weaker the country becomes, the more they become like this.  No one spoke, everyone looked at Ning Caichen.  Just wait for him to kneel down and end the greeting ceremony.

    Yelu Zhangnu looked at Ning Caichen: "Humph! Aren't you easy to please? You will be more flattered when you kneel. Your Majesty is too kind and gave you a step to kneel. If this is my slave and dares not to kneel, I will whip him  I can beat him to death! It is only natural for this slave to kneel before his master!"!  ~!
