Chapter 587: The whole country is attached
As the morning bell rang, large groups of people began to prepare to go to court.
Ever since Guo Hao, Liu Ying and Chen Xi, three big salted fish, came to power, all the cumbersome things that could be cancelled have been cancelled.
All the morning court meetings were cancelled, and it would be good enough if we could hold a court meeting once a month.
But then again, these ministers didn't like having to get up early in the morning to attend court, so after pretending to object for a while, they reluctantly agreed to cancel all the morning court activities.
The recent situation was briefly reported at the morning meeting. Chen Xi briefly mentioned some government affairs, and then the process began.
After three days of waiting, the five envoys came to meet Liu Ying with various valuable gifts.
Of course, all kinds of rare and exotic animals, such as lions, giraffes, etc., have already been sent to Shanglinyuan, and the more vulgar things such as gold, silver and jewelry have also been sent the treasury. Now, all the items that can be presented in the court are of the level of rare treasures.
For example, there are the tusks shed from the little elephant god worshipped by the Kushans, and the pearls bigger than a human head sent from Great Britain. In short, this wave of treasures is of very high quality.
Basically, they all come from nature, with very few traces of human intervention, and are basically collected from various super beasts.
Even the treasures sent by Australia are all kinds of marine characteristics, including shells that can be used as Sumeru rings, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
Five waves of people were summoned together. After all, Liu Ying only wanted the treasure. As for the reception and so on, the ministers would handle it well.
The moment they entered the hall, the envoys felt a pressure as deep as the sea, which made them feel the strength of this country.
Especially after someone in the row of civil officials in Confucian robes sent out a terrifying pressure, all the messengers were even more terrified.
They knew very well that this was pressure at the life level, and it was not deliberately released by these beings, but was a pressure they naturally felt after becoming alert.
Just like primary school students facing their class teacher, the natural pressure is pressing down on them.
"Huh?"
Ma Chao, who had returned from Great Britain a long time ago, changed his expression. Why did he feel that the envoys from Great Britain looked so familiar?
"interesting!"
Lu Bu, who was at the front row of the generals, took a look at the incoming envoys, especially the group from Great Britain who particularly caught his attention.
The other envoy groups' situations could basically be summarized as the internal energy leaving the body, but the situation of Great Britain was a little different. The leader could actually make him feel a little pressure, which made him a little curious.
"Marquis Wen, could it be that I sensed it wrongly?" Zhao Yun asked Lu Bu in a curious voice transmission, he had the same feeling.
"No, I have the same feeling. It seems a big fish has come! Judging from the expression of Ma Mengqi, he should be a high-ranking official of Great Britain!" Lu Bu glanced at the surprised Ma Chao and said casually.
After all, it was just pressure and he didn't take it seriously at all.
"Australian envoys come to see us!"
"Australia pays tribute..."
Liu Ying sat there, listening to the long gift list, feeling extremely comfortable. After the gift list was finished, the court officials looked at the Australian envoys with a little more satisfaction.
Even the Grand Herald Liu Zhang was a little confused. If he had known that the Australian envoy was so sincere, he should have taken better care of him.
After all, these envoys were so hungry that their eyes were glowing green. They didn't steal or rob, and they didn't even touch the gifts. Although they were provided with food and accommodation, their quality was not good enough.
Liu Zhang felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have listened to Li Ru and the others' nonsense. This made him feel like a nobody.
The tribute of this kind of gift list is purely from a loyal brother.
Especially later on, Australia even offered various secret techniques as tribute, which made them definitely one of our own.
Chen Xi, who was at the top of the civil service, had a strange look on his face. Are the relations between Australia and the Han Dynasty so good?
This gift list directly enriched the eldest princess's small treasury. It seems that I have to find an opportunity to empty the eldest princess's small treasury.
Why keep so much money? It would be better to put it into the market to stimulate the economy. The princess doesn't need to spend money anyway.
Liu Ying's eyes were full of small change, as all this stuff went into his personal piggy bank.
But Liu Ying is someone who has seen a lot of ups and downs after all. Even if she wants some small money, she thinks that the two sides have never established diplomatic relations before. You have so many things, maybe you have something to ask for?
"What can I ask for?"
As expected, after Liu Ying spoke, the Australian envoy immediately knelt down and began to cry.
Everyone present was shocked. Come on, you are a generous envoy after all. Why do you have to be so humble and just kneel down and cry?
After Australia finished telling their miserable story and how their opponents were just a bunch of animals.
The ministers present were even more shocked. How could a thing like Kun actually destroy a country? Was this kidding?
They all knew Kun. Huangfu Song sent back many treasures made from Kun from Qingzhou.
But Huangfu Song killed at least eighty of them, if not a hundred. Is it really that exaggerated?
However, considering the state of the heaven and earth's vitality in previous years, they expressed their understanding. This thing should be considered a natural disaster. No wonder such a rich person could be so miserable.
And I guess it should be the kind of Lu Bu among Kun. Australia encountered it at an unlucky time and there is nothing it can do.
"Please, great man, help us Australian people!"
However, even though the messenger cried very hard, the counselors present still frowned.
There doesn't seem to be much profit in helping Australia restore its independence, and the ocean is very dangerous, so it doesn't seem to be worth it.
However, after a while, the Australian envoy noticed that something was wrong with the expressions of his advisers and felt that he had not expressed himself clearly, so he quickly gestured to his deputy to present the things.
It was a crown. The messenger raised the crown with both hands, and then began to dance again to convey his true intentions.
After a while, everyone in the court was in an uproar.
It seems that the messenger wants to make the whole country submit?
Things like this being an internal attachment, apart from anything else, are just too much of a loss of face.
Think about the last time someone from the Han Dynasty asked to submit to the Han Dynasty. It has been more than a hundred years. This is a greater honor than ever for them to conquer a piece of land.
This means directly submitting to them and being willing to accept their rule.
After all, no matter what the reason is, once the whole country is annexed, it will be assimilated in just three or two generations.
This is almost the highest recognition of the Han Dynasty as a whole. Not to mention there is no hatred, they will accept it even if there is hatred.
Isn't this how the Southern Xiongnu came about? They surrendered directly to the empire. Although they have not been completely assimilated for various reasons, this honor is recorded in the history books and can never be erased.
