Chapter eight hundred and ninety second actor

Around the main hall of the house, there must be layers of defense within five steps of the sword-wearing warrior wearing cloth robe.

There are two tables and chairs on the left and right sides of the main door. There is not a chair directly above, but a row of tables and chairs. Each table is placed with a wooden sign with a paper with a name posted on it. There are pens and inkstones, tea cups, and even a plate of glutinous rice desserts on it. The tables in the entire meeting room are arranged like a courtyard.

On both sides of the house, some musicians were sitting or standing, and they were ready to sit with musical instruments. Envoys from various countries and officials of Daxu also found their seats according to their names. Although there were too many people in the room, they seemed to be in order.

Not long after, several painters also came in with paper and ink tools for painting.

It was noon at this time, and the weather was a little hot. Everyone was drinking water while waiting for the alliance to begin.

But the chairs next to the wooden signs with the words "Da Xu Shumi envoy Wang Pu" and "The Liao Dynasty's envoy Xiao Siwen" were still empty. At this time, a group of young ladies wearing green robes and buns, dressed as men's clothes came in. They each held a stack of paper and placed one on each table.

Everyone picked up the paper in front of them and looked at it. It was written in Chinese and Khitan languages ​​as "Zhenyuan Alliance". The Goryeo, Japan, Dangxiang people, and Tubo people have always had close contacts with the Central Plains, and the historical books of Goryeo and Japan were also written in Chinese, so the envoys sent should also know the Chinese.

At this moment, Wang Pu, Xiao Siwen and several others came in and were led to the throne by the officials who were led. Several Khitans also saw the name signs on the table and found a place to sit down.

At this time, someone stood up and bowed first, and people stood up one after another, holding rituals in various postures, "The lower officials and others pay homage to the envoy Da Xu..."

Wang Pu stood up and clasped his fists to his left and right and said, "I thank all countries for sending envoys to Chanzhou to witness the alliance between Xu and Liao. If Daxu Yousi has any inappropriate reception, I hope you can forgive me."

After saying that, he waved his hand: "Start."

"Dong, dong..." The drum sounded, and the tone of the harp was mixed in. A group of women in linen and leather clothes entered, with feathers inserted in their hair, wooden shields in their hands, and walked quickly to the middle of the hall, dancing with the drum sound.

Although they were dancers, their dance was very rough. They took a step in a row, raised their legs and feet high as they stepped on, and the shield in their hands also danced at any time.

For a moment, the hall seemed to have returned to the wilderness era of eating raw meat and drinking blood, and it was mysterious and unrestrained, and the atmosphere also changed.

The strange dance music did not last long, and the dancers left after dancing. Immediately, a civil servant walked up to the upper side and opened the file and said loudly: "The two countries of Xu Liao fought for a long time, and the military and civilians suffered for a long time. Now the Liao kings and ministers proposed to propose alliances. The Daxu court took the people as their thoughts and was willing to turn swords into jade and silk, and tried their best to calm the hatred with Liao. The monarchs and ministers of the two countries voluntarily discussed, and each sent envoys to make an agreement on behalf of the king to make a brotherly alliance, Daxu as his brother, and Liao as his younger brother, and treat each other harmoniously. The Liao kings and the army of Xu occupied Jinzhou, the entire territory of Suzhou in western Liaoning Island (Dalian Lushun), and ceded to Daxu. The two countries used the Linghe River (Daling River) as the boundary in Jinzhou; the three armies of Daxu retreated and stopped attacking the Liao army. From then on, they ended their harassment and attack and jointly pursued peace..."

As soon as he finished speaking, an official immediately put two pieces of papers mounted in yellow satin in front of Wang Pu. Wang Pu picked up his pen and dipped them on the inkstone twice, signed them neatly, and then picked up the seal of the Privy Council and sealed them on the two pieces of papers.

The official put away the file, walked a few steps eastward, and placed it in front of Xiao Siwen again.

Xiao Siwen picked up the file and read it first. At this time, his skin was red and sweat was soaked on his forehead. He slowly stretched out his hand and picked up the pen, looked up and looked around, and saw countless eyes gathering on him. The painter beside the wall was working hard to paint, and people in various costumes were watching him witness everything...

Xiao Siwen has weighed the consequences of this matter countless times, but he is still frightened and uneasy at this moment.

The blame is decided, but can we not take the matter now? Xiao Siwen was filled with a hint of luck in his heart. If he only took the blame for this humiliating covenant, then he would still have a chance after returning to the country... This is also the reason why he chose to agree to the covenant.

I just hope there will be no other mistakes and pressure, even a straw.

Xiao Siwen finally signed the handwriting and seal on the file.

At this time, the cry of cattle and sheep came from outside. After a while, an official came in with blood wine on a wooden plate. Wang Pu took a bowl first, raised it and turned to Xiao Siwen and said, "From today, Xu Liao and the two countries will turn enemies into friends. Please!"

Xiao Siwen also picked up the bowl and drank it with Wang Pu.

After drinking, Wang Pu put down the bowl and stood up and said, "All those present will sign the file in front of him to take it as a witness token."

At this time, the Goryeo envoy stood up and bowed: "The officials dare not sign and arrest this item!"

Wang Pu glanced at him, "Then let's have a blank space... You can rest in the courtyard later. When noon, the court will hold a banquet to entertain you." After saying that, he said goodbye with his fists and turned around and left the seat.

...The eunuch Wang Zhong ran over and stepped into a door. He saw Guo Shao sitting upright on a stool, looking at a painting on the wall.

Wang Zhong immediately bowed and said, "Report to the official family, the alliance has just been completed. Xiao Siwen signed in public and joined the king's envoy to form an alliance."

Guo Shao's body seemed to relax a lot in an instant. He said calmly: "The person in the painting is old and has little future. He sits alone in the snow, and has no interest in anything. Even if he is rich, he can compete with the country and has great power. What is the meaning of life?"

Wang Zhong did not dare to talk about the serious matters anymore, and hurriedly echoed: "What the official said is very true."

Guo Shao turned around, "So before death, there is no need to be too arrogant. Do what should you do, and take what should you do." His speech became faster. "You go and remind Wang Pu that before lunch, the Liao Kingdom must send a deputy envoy to send the alliance back first, and at the same time, he sent someone to accompany the Liao Kingdom's deputy envoy with the imperial edict, so that he could watch the imperial court fulfill the alliance and issue a truce in the western Liao army."

Wang Zhong held the whisk in his hand and bent down and said, "I obey the order."

Guo Shao was in a comfortable mood, stood up from the stool and breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately threw away his interest in ink painting just now.

By noon, he changed his dress with Fu Jinzhan, who lived in the back garden, and came to the banquet in the hall with his arms around him. In the music of bells and drums, everyone at the banquet bowed to the two of them, and they walked steadily to the upper seat.

"Your Majesty, the Queen will live forever!" everyone shouted loudly.

"Everyone is flat." Guo Shao made a gesture, turned his head and looked at Fu Jinzhan. The two of them picked up the wine glass in a tacit understanding. Guo Shao said, "Congratulations to the peace of the world."

Wang Pu and others said one after another, "I hope that the people of all countries will enjoy peace..." "The country is very lucky, and the people are very lucky..."

After everyone finished drinking, Guo Shao stretched out his arms and made a gentle gesture to ask people to sit down. Then a group of girls came in one after another with delicious food and placed more fish at the banquet.

Soon, an actor with white pink on his face came forward and said, "The villain made an ugly appearance and arranged a play to cheer for the official queen and the public. Please be sure."

Guo Shao turned his head, Fu Jinzhan smiled and nodded slightly, and then he smiled and said, "Come on!"

"Thank you for your kindness, villain." said the actor.

Soon a group of actors brought props to the hall, "Dongdongdong..." A male actor wearing an animal hide hat and high feathers beat the skin drum. While drinking and eating meat, everyone came over with great interest. The envoys from all countries and tribes were watching the fun, with fine wine, delicacies and programs, and most of them had happy smiles on their faces.

The male actor who beat the drums was so slapped in a chair embroidered with tiger skin, spread his legs and raised his head and said, "I am the king of the Khanate of the Malaysian Kingdom. Come and worship!"

Other actors quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed exaggeratedly: "The Khan is wise and powerful!"

The king suddenly frowned and pointed at a person on the ground and said angrily: "Come on, pull this guy out and chop it!"

An actor who was kneeling shouted, "I'm wronged, what did I do wrong?"

The king cursed: "I told you to wear a dog-feather hat, and I told you to wear a dog-feather hat!" After that, he shook his eyebrows at the people around him.

"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into laughter.

Two actors immediately stepped forward, one of whom dragged the terrified actor aside with an arm. Then he took out a wooden knife and cut it off at the actor kneeling on the ground, and a sound came out of his mouth: "Crack!"

"Ah! I'm dead!" The man who was chopped fell to the ground with his back and forth.

Guo Shao, who was in power, looked at Xiao Siwen sideways, and saw Xiao Siwen's eyes wide open, his face was red with shame and anger.

The actors continued. At this time, another man with black ink on his face came on stage and said to the audience around him: "I am the minister of the Khanate, who is responsible for guarding Nanzhou. Nanzhou was seized by the Malaysian Khanate, and the land is rich and the products are abundant. Unfortunately...ah!"

He lowered his head and looked worried, and pointed at the king sitting on the tiger-skin chair and said to the audience, "I can't defend Nanzhou anymore. The great khan is so cruel. How can I spare me? What should I do?"

Immediately a small actor stepped forward and knelt on one knee: "General, something is wrong! Nanzhou is besieged by the enemy!"

"Ah!" Minister Fengjiang was so shocked that his whole body shook. His hat fell off. He quickly lay on the ground and picked up the hat and put it on. His whole body was shaking, and he clasped his fists and placed it on his chin. "I'm so scared!"

"Huh?" said the Minister of the Frontier, "There is! The Khan is so cruel, so the Khanate is so weak. I slaughter the Khanate. It is his fault for the Nanzhou mistake! Hum!"

An actor holding a wooden kitchen knife and apron was immediately brought, and he stepped forward and said, "General, I am the chef beside Da Khan. I will help you stab the slander and the violent Khan!"

"Okay!" The Fengjiang official waved his hand and put his mouth to the chef's ear and muttered.

The chef got up, walked to the actor who played the role of the khan with a kitchen knife, and waved the kitchen knife and slashed it down.

"Ah! I'm dead!" Dahan fell down and squeezed it with a water bag, and the red juice spurted him all over.
