The Travelers of the Heavens

At the racecourse of Taishi Mansion, the groom wearing a hairband won the victory, and Wang Ying rewarded the horseman with a piece of his jade pendant.

After leaving the racecourse, Wang Ying took Prince Fan to the martial arts training ground of the imperial army in the Taishi Mansion.

I saw thousands of Forbidden Army soldiers conducting daily training under the supervision of a captain.

""The Crown Prince" saw Wang Ying arriving, and the captain came down to see him.

"Go ahead." Wang Ying waved his hand.

""Yes." The captain continued to supervise the training of the soldiers.

After the expansion, the Forbidden Army had 150,000 people, of which 140,000 were responsible for the defense of Luoyi's capital, and another 10,000 were selected as personal guards to be responsible for the security of the Taishi Mansion. For security work, these guards have the same style of clothing and armor as other Forbidden Forces, but the feathers on the top of the helmet are blue. Only the Moon God can mobilize this team, and Wang Yu cannot command them under normal circumstances.

Wang Ying The soldiers who are being trained are the Guards of the Imperial Guard. The soldiers of these Guards are usually trained very strictly. They must not only be familiar with various infantry tactics and techniques, but also train the tactics and techniques of cavalry. After watching the Guards for a while Wang Ying and Prince Fan went back to Jianjia Hall for the training program.

Since the martial arts arena was far away from Jianjia Hall, the two called for a"scooter". The so-called"scooter" is actually a kind of speed machine beast.

Jianjia Outside the main gate of the palace, the"scooter" stopped. Wang Ying and Prince Fan got down from it and prepared to enter the main hall.

Just then the Snow Girl came out from inside.

"When the crown prince saw her husband, Snow Girl bowed and saluted.

""Okay, this is His Highness the Crown Prince." Wang Ying introduced Prince Fan to Xue Nu.

Seeing the plain-looking Prince Fan, Xue Nu felt disgusted, but she still knelt down to pay her respects.

"Please get up. I wonder who this is?"Prince Fan was shocked by Snow Girl's beauty. He asked Wang Ying

"Your Highness, she is my concubine." Wang Ying replied respectfully.

"That’s it, haha"Prince Fan looked like he understood what he meant.

"You go ahead, if you have nothing to do, don’t bother me." Wang Ying pretended to be serious and scolded Xue Nu.

""Yes." Xue Nu responded and left Jianjia Palace.

"Your Highness, please." Wang Ying led Prince Fan to continue walking into the palace.

"Your Majesty, I have been alone in the mansion for a long time, why don’t you see your father?"After sitting down, Prince Fan asked

"Returning to the crown prince, my father is out on business and is not in the mansion," Wang Ying said.

"That's it." Prince Fan turned around.

"Prince, it's almost noon, why not have a meal here?" Wang Ying said after looking at the copper kettle's dripper.

"Very good," Prince Fan responded.

Then Wang Ying went to arrange the meals.

Twenty-five maids brought out exquisite meat and vegetable dishes one after another.

"Your Highness, please." Wang Ying motioned to the other party to move his chopsticks first.

""Okay, I'll invite you too," Prince Fan picked up the chopsticks and responded.

Prince Fan was also well-dressed and well-fed in the palace, and a meal had more than ten or twenty dishes, but the exquisiteness of the dishes was not as good as that of the Grand Master's Palace.

This is not a palace. The imperial chef is not doing his best, but the star chef team of Taishi Mansion is the ancestor of the palace royal chef. The level of the disciples and grandchildren of these descendants is naturally not as good as that of the ancestor.

Although it is not the first time for Prince Fan to"check in" at Taishi Mansion, he stayed in It was my first time to eat here.

After eating a piece of fried bamboo shoots, Prince Fan felt physically and mentally comfortable. This dish was often made in the palace, but it was not as delicious as it is now.

After eating the fried bamboo shoots, Prince Fan saw a plate There were black and white lumps inside. He picked up a piece and put it into his mouth. This dish was Liu Angxing's specialty, black and white Mapo Tofu.

Prince Fan was surprised because he had never seen this dish in the palace. It is not surprising that making black and white Mapo Tofu is cumbersome. More than two hundred years ago, Liu Angxing passed it on to his many apprentices. Only one of them was talented and intelligent, but he only learned 80% of it, and the rest did not learn it at all. Time flies. , more than two hundred years have passed, and generations of disciples and descendants have passed, the making of black and white Mapo Tofu has been lost again outside the Taishi Mansion.

"Prince, this dish is so spicy, yet still has a refreshing fragrance, how do you call it?" Prince Fan closed his eyes and enjoyed the stimulation of his taste buds by the black and white Mapo Tofu, and asked

"This dish originated from Bashu and is called Black and White Mapo Tofu. It was cooked by a chef in Shu County," Wang Ying said.

"I didn't expect that there are such talents in Shu County," Prince Fan said. In his opinion, people who can cook are also talents.

It's no wonder that the Zhou royal family has nothing else to do except enjoy life.

"Chef Xiaodaoer, the prince is so complimentary." Wang Ying waved his hand.

"Hahaha"Prince Fan smiled.

On the other side of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Yu met with Emperor Liu Kun and negotiated the Lunar God's visit next year and a formal alliance, and then he returned to the palace of General Sima.

Wang Mang gave a few instructions to the ministers and then announced the dispersal of the court.

"General, I request that your country marry a princess to the crown prince of our country to consolidate the alliance between the two countries. I don’t know what the general wants." Wang Yu took the initiative to propose a marriage between the two countries.

"What the King of Xining said is exactly what I think, but the prince of your country"Wang Mang asked tentatively

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our country is already fifteen years old, and the Crown Princess will be selected next year," Wang Yu said

"oh"Wang Mang said.

Today's Western Han Dynasty royal family has no princess to marry. Wang Mang is thinking about whether to marry his own daughter.

"General, is there something wrong?"Wang Yu asked deliberately. He had already seen what Wang Mang was thinking through mind-gazing.

"If the general has a beloved daughter, the prince of our country may also consider it," Wang Yu said.

Wang Yu's words seemed to be in Wang Mang's wish, but Wang Mang didn't know that Wang Yu did it deliberately. If nothing else, the Western Han Empire no longer has After a few years, Wang Mang will be the future owner of this rooster land.

"It is a great achievement for me to be able to be husband and wife to the crown prince of your country. Thank you so much, His Highness the King of Xining." Wang Mang excitedly clapped his hands on the table and responded to Wang Yu

"I will go back and report this matter to the emperor and the grand master. I think they will definitely agree to the marriage between the two countries." Wang Yu said, pretending to raise his hands to the ceiling.

"Very good, very good," Wang Mang said with a smile.

In order to express his so-called sincerity, Wang Yu told Wang Mang that he would first offer 500,000 stones of grain and grass, hoping that Wang Mang would mobilize troops to ship to the naval station on the shore.

After the conversation, Wang Yu returned The room activated the Purple Gold Wheel to take out 500,000 stones of grain and rice seeds, and dropped them at the Navy Station and some ships on the shore. Afterwards, he sent a message to Bai Feng to ask him to go to the Navy Station to load grain and wait for Wang Mang's people. Come to hand over.

After the negotiation, Wang Mang called his eldest daughter Wang Ye over

""Father" Fourteen-year-old Wang Ye came to his father and gave him a gift

"Ye'er is exempt from the gift." Wang Mang's eyes were full of doting.

""Thank you, father." Wang Ye thanked him and stood up straight. After looking at his daughter up and down, Wang Mang was very satisfied. He was very confident in his daughter's appearance, but he didn't know what the appearance of the prince of the Zhou Empire was like, and what his personality was like.

"Ye'er, you will be fifteen next year, and your father has found a marriage for you," Wang Mang said.

Hearing this, Wang Ye's face turned red with embarrassment.

"Ye'er, are you willing to marry in another country?" Wang Mang said again

"ah? this.. Father.. you"After Wang Ye heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She was stunned and looked at her father in disbelief.

""Ye'er, there is a country very similar to ours on the other side of the sea. The prince of that country is about to select the crown prince, so for the sake of the great man, the father has to act like this," Wang Mang explained

""Father, there is no need to say anything. My daughter just obeys her orders," Wang Ye responded, but her tone was full of despair.

She had also heard about the arrival of the envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty, but as a daughter, she knew her father very well, and she understood that this was her father. She must be used to find out the true situation of the so-called Great Zhou Empire, and at the same time win over this foreign aid.
