Chapter 204 Invitations from various countries
On this day, Wei Yi was interrupted by his sister while he was doing liver fitness skills.
"Brother, someone just came to report that there is a person outside the door who claims to be the Prime Minister of Baiyue Kingdom and has come to ask for an audience. I think it's better to inform you about this!" Wei Qing stood outside the door and said cautiously.
She knew that Wei Yi had declined almost all guests recently.
So I don’t know if there will be anything wrong if I report it myself.
She just felt that the identity of this visitor seemed a bit special, so she felt it was necessary to tell Wei Yi.
"Prime Minister of Baiyue Kingdom?" Wei Yi was slightly surprised and couldn't help but stop practicing.
The Baiyue Kingdom was a neighboring country to the south of the Dayan Dynasty, and it was also a powerful dynasty with a vast territory.
And if you look back on history, Baiyue Kingdom and Dayan Dynasty also had the same origin, so they were similar in many cultures.
In fact, not only Baiyue, but also countries such as Daqian Dynasty and Beiyan Dynasty have similar cultures to the Dayan Dynasty, and their languages and writing are basically similar.
And dating back five thousand years, the four countries actually once belonged to the same huge dynasty.
The languages and characters currently used in various countries all originate from that dynasty.
Even many rituals and cultures are very similar.
The Baiyue Kingdom and the Dayan Dynasty have always been on good terms before, but in recent years, due to the weakness and chaos of the Dayan Dynasty, the relationship between the two countries has gradually become alienated.
"It seems that the news about Confucianism and Taoism has gone abroad!" Wei Yi smiled lightly, roughly guessing the other party's intention.
So he quickly said: "Invite him to the living room, tell him that I am practicing, and ask him to wait for a moment!"
"Okay, brother!" Wei Qing responded, and immediately led the servants to the entrance of the courtyard.
I saw an old man with some gray hair on his temples, an elegant face, and dressed in business clothes standing at the door.
He must be the prime minister of Baiyue Kingdom.
With his special status, it is indeed more convenient and safer to come here disguised as a business traveler.
The middle-aged man following him looked like a master of martial arts, and his brows gave people a sense of sharpness and oppression.
The other man, who looked like a servant, didn't look like an ordinary person.
"Guests, please come in!" Wei Qing made an inviting gesture.
The elegant old man smiled and followed Wei Qing into the mansion.
Then he asked his two followers to wait in the courtyard for the time being, while he followed Wei Qing into the hall.
After all, it would be rude to bring bodyguards with me when I came to visit.
"Brother is practicing. Sir, please wait in the hall for a moment while someone comes to serve tea to the guests!" Wei Qing said.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll just wait here for Mr. Wei!" The elegant old man smiled gently.
About half an hour later, Wei Yi finished exercising, took a shower, changed clothes, and then came to the hall.
At this time, the prime minister of Baiyue Kingdom was admiring the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, his eyes full of admiration.
"Your Excellency is the Prime Minister of Baiyue Kingdom?" Wei Yi said.
Only then did the elegant old man come to his senses from the calligraphy and painting on the wall. He turned around quickly and bowed: "The old Prime Minister of Baiyue Kingdom, Shen Qiuming, has met Young Master Wei!" "
Prime Minister Shen, you're welcome. Please sit down!" Wei Yi said calmly and immediately sat down at the front seat.
The maid also came over immediately to pour tea for Wei Yi.
"I have heard about the name of the young master for a long time, and today I saw that it is indeed worthy of the name. The young master is really like an immortal descending to the earth, with the posture of a saint..." Shen Qiuming started a rainbow fart opening speech.
"Prime Minister Shen came to see Wei. I don't know why?" Wei Yi asked straightforwardly. ,
after all, time is precious, and he doesn't want to waste it on detours.
"It's like this. Your Majesty, I love the young master's poems very much, and even more admire the young master's amazing poetic talent and extraordinary strength. Recently I heard that the young master
founded Confucianism and claimed that all literati in the world can practice Confucianism and Taoism. Your Majesty was very moved. I wanted to come in person to listen to the young master's lectures.
But after all, you are the king of a country. There are many things in the court that need to be handled by your majesty, and the war in the south is urgent, so your majesty could not come. I deeply regret that I have specially sent me to invite the young master to come to my house. I am a guest from the Kingdom of Yue. If you are willing, Master, can you give a lecture to Your Majesty and to our admirers?" Shen Qiuming said with a flattering look on his face.
"Does Prime Minister Shen want me to go to your country to teach Confucianism?" Wei Yi said with a smile, "Your Excellency, there is no need to be secretive. If you have any ideas, just say it directly. Wei likes to be straightforward and doesn't like to talk about it. Turn!"
After hearing Wei Yi's words, Shen Qiuming stood up quickly, and bowed in fear: "Young Master is wise, I am ashamed. Your Majesty really wants to invite you to teach Confucianism and Taoism in our court. I and all the literati in the court are also very grateful. "You are eager to practice Confucianism and Taoism. Our Majesty also sincerely invites you to come to our country to preach and teach. You are more willing to vigorously promote Confucianism and Taoism in our country, establish a Confucianism and Taoism academy, and even build a saint's life shrine for the prince to enjoy the worship of all people." Wei
. Yi's face remained calm, but his heart was filled with joy.
The king of Baiyue Kingdom is still very sincere.
Wei Yi is naturally willing to go to Baiyue Kingdom to teach Confucianism and Taoism. This is an excellent opportunity to expand his Confucianism and Taoism power.
If someone offers it to you, how can you refuse it?
If possible, he even hoped that the countries surrounding the Great Yan Dynasty would all be within his Confucian and Taoist sphere of influence.
Then your influence is not limited to one country.
And the more people practice Confucianism and Taoism, the more helpful it will be for them to advance in the forest of pen and ink, and they will have more supporters in the future.
If all the literati in Xuanyouzhou continent practice Confucianism and Taoism in the future, then Confucianism and Taoism will be the strongest force in this continent.
"Of course it's no problem. It's rare for Your Majesty to be far-sighted and so sincere, but Wei is disrespectful. However, Wei's wedding is coming soon, so wait until next month. After Wei's wedding, he will definitely come to your country to preach and teach! "Wei Yi said seriously.
Hearing Wei Yi's words, Shen Qiuming was immediately overjoyed, and his hanging heart fell to the ground. He was a little overjoyed, and he quickly said gratefully: "Thank you so much, sir. I would like to thank you on behalf of your majesty and the hundreds of millions of people in Baiyue. "
Shen Qiuming knew very well how important this Confucianism and Taoism was to a country and to all scholars.
This is something that can really change a country and change the fate of countless people.
If literati can also possess extraordinary power, then they will have more ability to protect themselves, and more people will devote themselves to studying, which will be of great benefit to the development of a country.
The status of literati will further rise, and they will have more confidence to advocate their own ideas and concepts.
You can even go into battle to kill the enemy and control the military power, instead of being ridiculed by a group of generals for talking about it on paper.
Moreover, Confucianism and Taoism flourished in the Great Yan Dynasty. If your own country did not have Confucianism and Taoism, it would be a situation of one thing and another, and you would inevitably be controlled by others in the future.
That's why he knew how rare this opportunity was, so he came to visit Wei Yi in such a hurry and begged him to preach.
But he really didn't expect that Wei Yi would agree so readily, which surprised him.
"Young Master, this is the imperial master's gold medal that your Majesty has prepared for you. With this gold medal, you can walk around our Baiyue Kingdom at will. I hope you will accept it!" Shen Qiuming said, holding a gold medal in both hands.
Wei Yi smiled.
Directly giving him the imperial master gold medal was a direct expression of his intention, and he regarded himself as his teacher.
But Wei Yi wouldn't mind accepting another student like him.
So he took the gold medal with a smile and said, "Okay, then I'll accept it!"
...
On the street outside the Wei family mansion, a man with extraordinary handsome appearance and dressed as a swordsman stopped.
He glanced at the gate of the mansion and thought to himself: "This is Mr. Wei's mansion."
But just when he was about to go back to report, he saw the door open and three figures came out.
The old man at the head was smiling and very happy.
The swordsman looked closely and felt that the old man looked familiar. After careful identification, he recognized that the old man was actually Shen Qiuming, the prime minister of Baiyue Kingdom. Almost at the same time, Shen Qiuming and others also noticed him.
The middle-aged man following Shen Qiuming frowned and exuded a trace of energy.
The young swordsman smiled and cupped his hands, indicating that he was not hostile.
Then he left quickly, turned around a few streets, and walked into an inn.
There were also many swordsmen in this inn. After seeing him walking in, they exchanged glances with each other.
The swordsman quickly went upstairs, and finally came to the door of Tianzi No. 1 room and knocked several times rhythmically.
"Come in!" A woman's voice came from inside.
The swordsman walked in and closed the door.
"Your Highness, the princess, has already found out where the Wei family lives, and just saw Shen Qiuming, the prime minister of the Baiyue Kingdom, at the door of the Wei family." "I didn't expect that the Baiyue Kingdom was
so well-informed that he went to visit Wei before us. Young Master!" The person who spoke was a young girl with a beautiful face and lively eyes.
She is Xiang Xuejian, the most beloved daughter of the emperor of the Daqian Dynasty.
Although she is dressed like an ordinary daughter of a wealthy family.
But that extraordinary appearance and temperament cannot be suppressed by clothing.
"What was Shen Qiuming's face like at that time?" asked an unsmiling old man next to him.
He is Li Yue, the first assistant of the Daqian Dynasty.
"It seems that I had a great time chatting with Mr. Wei!" the swordsman said again.
Li Yue nodded and said to Xiang Xuejian: "Shen Qiuming should have invited Mr. Wei. In this case, we should also have a chance." "
Well, let's go. I can't wait to meet Mr. Wei. " Young Master, I wonder if he is really as extraordinary as the rumors say!" Xiang Xuejian stood up and said eagerly.
"Mengcheng, just accompany me and Mr. Li. The others will stay here for now!"
"Yes!" The swordsman named Mengcheng clasped his fists.
...
Wei Yi also didn't expect that he had just sent away Shen Qiuming, the prime minister of Baiyue Kingdom.
The chief minister and princess of the Daqian Dynasty came to ask for an audience.
He didn't need to think about it to know that these people were probably just like Shen Qiuming, who also came to beg him to preach in their country.
After all, compared to the Baiyue Kingdom, the literary style of the Daqian Dynasty was more prosperous, and it was a country that attached great importance to literati.
As Wei Yi expected, Li Yue, the chief minister of the Daqian Dynasty, also invited Wei Yi to open a Confucian and Taoist college in their country on behalf of the king of the Daqian Dynasty.
However, Princess Xiang Xuejian had another purpose for her trip, which was to become a disciple.
She had thought about it early on, if she could not invite Wei Yi to teach Confucianism and Taoism in Daqian.
Then he must find a way to join the Confucian and Taoist Academy in Qingzhou City and become a student there.
The reason for asking Wei Yi is for her country, but the reason for becoming a disciple is simply for herself.
After she heard the rumors about the practice of Confucianism and Taoism before, she was very moved and wanted to practice Confucianism and Taoism.
Then she explored and collected Wei Yi's poems. After seeing those poems, she was even more impressed and admired them.
Meeting Wei Yi today almost fulfilled all her beautiful fantasies about the rumored Wei Yi, and even exceeded her fantasies.
"No problem. Wei created Confucianism and Taoism in the hope that all literati in the world would have the opportunity to change their destiny and become extraordinary!" Wei Yi said seriously.
"Great, this is my great fortune and the common people's fortune!" Li Yue stood up excitedly and bowed respectfully to Wei Yi.
Xiang Xue on the side was also very happy to see that since Wei Yi agreed to go to their Daqian Dynasty to teach Confucianism and Taoism.
Then there is no need to rush into becoming a disciple.
When Wei Yi visits their Daqian Dynasty, it will not be too late to find an opportunity to become their disciple.
Otherwise, it would be a bit abrupt and reckless to suddenly want to take someone as my teacher today.
In the next few days, Beiyan Dynasty, Beichuan Kingdom, Jiuli Kingdom and other large and small countries successively sent important officials from the court to visit Wei Yi, hoping to invite Wei Yi to teach Confucianism and Taoism in their countries.
However, the emperor of Xilan Kingdom regretted that they had listened to the slanderous words of the Tianren Sect and united with the Human Kingdom to attack the Dayan Dynasty.
The relationship between the two countries, which had originally eased slightly, was once again broken.
Most importantly, the peerless expert who summoned an army of heroic souls and defeated their coalition forces last time was Wei Yi.
Therefore, when they sent troops that time, they offended not only the Great Yan Dynasty, but also Wei Yi.
Now they have no chance to ask others to teach them Confucianism and Taoism.
What makes them even more worried is that with the rise of Confucianism and Taoism, the Great Yan Dynasty may use the influence of Confucianism and Taoism to unite with neighboring countries in the future.
By then they may not be able to eat anymore and walk away.
In the palace of Baiyue Kingdom, Emperor Jialong, the emperor of Baiyue Kingdom, was extremely happy when he heard the good news brought back by Shen Qiuming.
"That's great. Mr. Wei actually agreed!" Emperor Jialong was so happy that he couldn't express it in words.
Although he is young, he has actually succeeded to the throne for many years. Under his governance, the Baiyue Kingdom is also quite prosperous.
"By the way, Your Majesty, Mr. Wei is about to get married. For such a big event, our court should express it!" Shen Qiuming said again.
"Marry?" Emperor Jialong was a little surprised.
He originally thought that such an extraordinary and powerful person had long been transcendent and separated from the mortal world.
And what kind of person can be worthy of such an extraordinary and powerful person?
However, he was surprised, and Emperor Jialong didn't ask any more questions. He paused and said, "For such a big event, it is natural to give a gift, but what should I give?" Emperor Jialong was a little worried for a while. Such an extraordinary and powerful man
, People probably don't appreciate ordinary gifts at all.
In the palace of the Daqian Dynasty, Princess Xiang Xuejian heard the report from her subordinates, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Are you sure you heard it right? Mr. Wei is only going to marry a restaurant owner?" Xiang Xuejian had heard that before
. Wei Yi was about to get married, but he was still curious in his heart about what kind of peerless woman could be worthy of an extraordinary person like Wei Yi.
So when I heard this news, I felt a little unbelievable.
"It's absolutely true. My subordinates have confirmed it repeatedly. I heard that Meng Shuilian fell in love with each other when Mr. Wei was just an ordinary person, and they went through many hardships together. Mr. Wei values love and righteousness. Even though he has a transcendent status now, His strength is extraordinary, and he still has not forgotten his original oath."
Listening to his subordinate's words, Xiang Xuejian was surprised, but she also had more respect for Wei Yi.
She was truly touched and admired by such a person who valued love and justice.
But Wei Yi could even marry a restaurant owner, which made Xiang Xuejian suddenly feel like he could marry me.
"This Meng Shuilian is really lucky!" Xiang Xuejian said, leaning on his chin.
But I don’t know where my thoughts drifted.
