The Travelers of the Heavens

The Imperial Palace of the Western Han Dynasty, Changle Palace.

The Queen Mother Wang Zhengjun pointed at the nose of her nephew Wang Mang and scolded him for his misbehavior

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing in advance?" Wang Zhengjun tapped the ground with his crutch.

"The Empress Dowager is already old and has many complicated matters, so my nephew dare not disturb her," Wang Mang said respectfully.

"Ye'er is not only your daughter, but also my grand-niece. You sent her to marry her without saying a word. Do you know the Zhou Kingdom? If something goes wrong, Ye'er's life will be in vain." The Empress Dowager Wang Zhengjun said

"My nephew has been ordered to bring the envoy from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he is waiting in the side hall at the moment. How about you ask in person?" Wang Mang said

"snort! Go and tell them to come in. I want to see with my own eyes what kind of people these envoys from the Zhou Kingdom are." Wang Zhengjun snorted coldly, stopped worrying about Wang Ye's matter, and turned to tell Yueshen and others to enter the palace.

""Yes." Wang Mang went to the side hall.

After a while, Wang Mang led Wang Yu's family of three into the hall.

"The Empress Dowager, these are the envoys of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Wang Mang first said to Wang Zhengjun who was sitting on the throne.

"The foreign minister pays homage to the Empress Dowager. I wish you long happiness and longevity." The Moon God took the lead and the three of them bowed down.

Seeing the appearance of Wang Yu's family, Wang Zhengjun couldn't help being surprised. It was the first time she had seen this kind of thing. purple haired person

"No courtesy." When he was young, Wang Zhengjun signaled

"Thank you, Empress Dowager." Yueshen and others straightened up.

"Please allow your nephew to introduce you to the Empress Dowager. This is Ji Xuanying, the Grand Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is Wang Yu, the King of Xining in the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is Wang Ying, the son of the Grand Master and the Lieutenant General of the Forbidden Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty." Wang Mang introduced the three people to Wang Zhengjun..It

’s just that Wang Ying, the lieutenant general, is an official position declared to the outside world and is temporary.

"Well, please take a seat, please." Wang Zhengjun asked some of you to take a seat.

""Yes, thank you, the Empress Dowager, for giving me the seat." Yue Shen and Wang Yu took their seats one after another. But Wang Ying took the Phoenix Scepter from Yue Shen and stood behind her.

"I don’t know why these envoys came all the way." The Queen Mother and Wang Zhengjun asked knowingly.

""You are here to get married between our two countries," the Moon Goddess responded, and his tone was not false at all.

Although Wang Zhengjun was the Empress Dowager of the Western Han Dynasty, he was only a"young man" in his seventies. As for the Moon Goddess, Couldn't the powerful aura cultivated by a career of more than 230 years as an imperial minister still be able to suppress a mere empress dowager?

Listening to Luna's tone, the empress dowager Wang Zhengjun felt bad, because she obviously She felt that she had been completely suppressed by the other party. This feeling was just like the humble feeling she had when she faced her father-in-law, Emperor Xuan of the Western Han Dynasty, more than fifty years ago.

"Since the Grand Master has come to get married, I wonder if your country"Wang Zhengjun's tone has softened.

At this time, Luna didn't respond. She glanced at Wang Yu.

"Queen Mother, our country"Wang Yu understood and introduced the situation of the Zhou Empire and the Zhou royal family to Wang Zhengjun.

After listening to Wang Yu's detailed introduction, Wang Zhengjun was even more shocked. This country thousands of miles away was actually a huge country and very wealthy.

The most important thing is that the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty only had one son. If his grandniece married, wouldn't he definitely become the next queen?

"If the Empress Dowager is still not at ease, she can send a trustworthy person to serve as an official in our country. This can relieve the princess's homesickness." When Wang Zhengjun was silent, the Moon God answered the question in time. As soon as the Moon God said this, Wang Zhengjun did not express his position immediately, but Wang Mang felt that this statement was very reasonable.

"What does the general think?" Wang Zhengjun turned to Wang Mang and asked

""The Empress Dowager, I think what the Grand Master said is true. It would be nice to have someone capable to follow Ye'er to the Great Zhou Dynasty," Wang Mang said.

"In this case, I hope the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty will not treat my granddaughter harshly." Wang Zhengjun's words were tantamount to agreeing to Wang Ye's marriage.

"Don’t worry, Your Majesty, the princess of your country will be our mistress when she marries our country. No one will dare to offend her. The grand master and I will also take care of the princess," Wang Yu said

"Well, let the general decide this matter." Wang Zhengjun nodded, glanced at Wang Mang, and said

"Everything has been arranged, and we are just waiting for the auspicious time to send the princess to get married." Wang Mang responded respectfully.

Then, Wang Mang arranged a banquet for the Moon God and others. During the dinner, the Moon God and Wang Ying did not move their chopsticks, but Wang Yu ate very enthusiastically.

The banquet After it was over, Wang Mang sent the Moon God and others back to the palace where they were staying.

Counting the treasures and gifts sent by Zhou Dynasty became a arduous task. Wang Mang sent his eldest son Wang Yu to personally supervise the counting work of his subordinates.

What? There are luminous pearls the size of human heads, dragon and phoenix sculptures made of glass, and various handicrafts made of gold and silver. Wang Mang and Wang Yu have never seen many of them or even heard of them.

Especially the treasure called"diamond" , the black turtle sculpture carved from a whole piece of diamond weighing thirty kilograms without any impurities, the light reflected in the sun blinded the eyes of everyone present. There were boxes after boxes of gold bricks, gold bars, gold Opening the cake makes people want to pickpocket.

In the Zhou Empire, gold is not the official currency, but this is not absolute. In large-scale commercial activities, because a large number of Taiyuan Tongbao copper coins are too bulky, they are often exchanged In order to accurately calculate the weight of gold

, there are only gold bricks, gold bars and gold cakes cast in accordance with government regulations. As for the much-talked-about horseshoe, golden lin, finger gold and other special shapes, there is no such thing as pearls, agate or even coral. A large number of treasures were also mixed with the treasures given to the Western Han Empire.

A string of thirty-six top-quality East Sea pearls was secretly hidden by Wang Yu. In addition, he also hid several other unseen pearls. rare treasures.

While Wang Yu was counting the treasures, Chi Lian and Yan Lingji took a group of soldiers to go shopping.

"Well, although this small town is small, it is still quite prosperous." Chi Lian stood in the middle of a street in the capital of the Western Han Dynasty with one hand on his hips and said to Yan Lingji beside him.

"But I still want to return to Luoyi as soon as possible." Yan Lingji replied to Chi Lian while playing with fire.

The sound of the two going shopping with a group of soldiers obviously attracted the attention of passers-by, and everyone stopped to watch these envoys from outside the territory.

Xiangjun also He wanted to see what specialties the Western Han Empire had to bring back to his wife, but he did not go with Chi Lian. He only took four soldiers to hang out in the shops selling jewelry in the capital. After shopping around, Xiang Jun showed no interest. , he saw that the jewelry of the Western Han Dynasty seemed to be just that, with not only mediocre raw materials, but also poor workmanship. If Lord Xiang brought this kind of goods back to Concubine Xiang, the consequences could be imagined, so he had to give up.

Chi Lian and Yan Lingji were wandering aimlessly in the market with dozens of Forbidden Army soldiers when they saw a candy seller, so the two women each bought one.

"Pfft, pfft, a bitter taste, is this sugar?"Chi Lian took a bite and immediately spit it out.

"It's too bitter, so I won't eat it." Yan Lingji smelled it and licked it, but she felt bad. In the end, several people returned empty-handed. There was really nothing to see or buy in the capital of the Western Han Dynasty.

Yueshen and others were in the Western Han Dynasty The empire stayed for nearly a month, and then left the capital with Wang Ye, the princess of Ancheng, who was dressed up. The princess got married, so she naturally had a huge team to send her off. This team will escort Wang Ye to the Great Zhou Empire, and then they will also He will stay in the Zhou Dynasty and never return to the Han Dynasty.

Among these entourage, in addition to dozens of palace maids, there is also Wang Mang's second son and Wang Ye's brother, Wang Huo, who was 23 years old at the time. Since Wang Huo has already married, So he also took his wife with him to follow his sister's team to the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Then there were some Wang Mang's gang members who voluntarily followed, including the guy who was originally ordered to come to the dock to greet the Moon God.

Wang Mang left the city in person After traveling fifty miles, they reluctantly left.

The team marched slowly, and it was getting dark. Wang Yu estimated that it was almost done, so he began to cast a spell to fold the space. In less than an hour, the team arrived at the seaside station.

This time, they could The bride-seeing team from the Western Han Dynasty was shocked. They were dozens of miles outside the capital just now, but how could they appear at the seaside dock an hour later? Could this be a dream?
