Chapter 333: Fang La's Worry

"Envoy, you have worked hard. Please take the seat of honor, and let us entertain you properly."

With this reply representing the will of the Great Gan Son of Heaven, the matter of the Holy Duke State's attachment to Great Gan was completely settled.

Fang La, feeling that a huge stone in his heart had finally fallen, invited Qin Gui with a full face of smiles,

and even gave up his own seat, inviting Qin Gui to sit in the seat of honor.

"Sigh, sigh, in terms of official position, this humble official is only Rank 6, while Marquis Fang is a super-rank Marquis of our Great Gan;

in terms of host and guest, I am the guest, and Marquis Fang is the host. Marquis Fang should sit in the seat of honor."

Qin Gui refused repeatedly, not daring to agree.

Although this Holy Duke was not worth mentioning in front of Great Gan in terms of foundation and strength,

and even the title of Marquis could not Ma Keqin Gui bow his head,

but he was about to become the father-in-law of the Great Gan Emperor, and he, a civil official of the outer court, could not afford to offend him.

The north wind in the sky and the east wind on the ground are not as good as the pillow wind on the bed!

"The envoy is the Emperor's special envoy, an angel, so you should sit in the seat of honor!"

Fang La knew very well that although he was enfeoffed with a super-rank title to show preferential treatment,

theoretically, his status was not just that of Qin Gui, a Rank 5 Junior Academician,

but even the Left and Right Prime Ministers of the Secretariat, Prime Minister Wang Lun and Prime Minister Chen Wenyun, who worked in the side hall of the Bianjing palace, assisted the Emperor in harmonizing yin and yang,

and had the power to govern the world, were all below him.

But theory is theory, and theory often has too many things that do not conform to reality.

The actual situation is that, let alone the ministers of the Secretariat,

Fang La's status in the heart of the Great Gan Son of Heaven was far from comparable to the very humble Qin Huizhi before him.

After all, the position of envoy is truly not something that can be held by anyone who is not a confidant,

because they may not be able to achieve success, but they are absolutely capable of causing failure,

and often just a seemingly casual word,

or a seemingly insignificant action, can cause the cooperation and communication channels between two villages,

or even two countries or two dynasties, to fail.

As Fang La spoke, he pulled Qin Gui toward the seat of honor.

Qin Gui, a scholar who had studied hard by the window in his youth and became a civil official in the Han Lin Academy after passing the exam,

not to say he had no strength to truss a chicken, but he was also small and thin,

how could he be the opponent of Fang La, a big and burly fighter? In two or three moves, he was brought to the seat of honor.

"Marquis Fang is too polite."

Qin Gui couldn't refuse, so he had to sit in the seat of honor after some courtesy.

Fang La arranged for Qin Gui and sat in the secondary seat himself.

Seeing that both big shots were seated, the others didn't dare to be negligent and returned to their original positions one after another.

"Come, let's celebrate our joining Great Gan!

Let's celebrate the Emperor's heart, which is as broad as the boundless sky!"

After everyone was seated, Fang La raised his wine cup high and shouted.

"Celebrate for Great Gan, celebrate for the Emperor!"

The generals echoed joyfully one after another.

They finally boarded the big ship of Great Gan.

Although having to abandon their own small boats made them feel a bit regretful, being able to sell their small boats for a good price,

and most importantly, no longer fearing the wild winds and huge waves in the sea, was also quite good.

"Come, celebrate for Envoy Qin!"

After toasting Great Gan and Zhang Jie, Fang La, who was well-versed in human relationships, raised his cup to congratulate Qin Gui.

"Celebrate for Envoy Qin!"

The generals spoke in unison, congratulating him with a voice like thunder.

"And celebrate for everyone!"

Qin Gui, whose great-grandfather and grandfather were both commoners, and although his father Qin Minxue had passed the imperial examination,

his official position only stopped at the county magistrate level, and he passed away early, leaving no inheritance,

so although he could be considered well-fed and clothed, his family background was still relatively ordinary.

When had he ever seen such a scene? For a time, he was also somewhat floating.

However, he didn't forget his mission and raised his cup to congratulate everyone.

"Drink up, drink up!"

"Drink, drink!"

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

The atmosphere, which had been interrupted by the arrival of Qin Gui and the others, became lively again.

The other Great Gan attendants were also entertained well.

As for the signal soldier who could operate the wireless radio station, he was even more like stars surrounding the moon.

Every general who led troops into battle saw the huge potential in this that was enough to change the existing mode of warfare,

and one by one they surrounded the signal soldier to ask about the radio station and even the news of the Great Gan Communications Department,

all hoping to learn how to use the radio station, or even get the right to use a wireless radio station.

However, even though these people were theoretically already Great Gan's people, they hadn't been tested yet,

and the signal soldier knew the importance of the radio station, so he kept his mouth shut and didn't reveal any secrets.

A banquet, host and guest enjoyed themselves.

Most of them were carried out.

The next day, in the Fang family mansion, in a small courtyard with murmuring water and a quiet environment,

a young girl with a face like a peach blossom, skin like congealed fat, and a weak temperament, no more than sixteen years old,

who made people want to hold her in their arms and cherish her carefully, was putting on makeup in front of the mirror.

"My daughter, father is sorry for you.

Father is incompetent and has to sacrifice your happiness to preserve us."

Fang La, who hadn't slept all night and still had the thick smell of wine on him, had red eyes,

looking at the young girl in front of him with full guilt.

Clearly, this was the Holy Duke State's Princess Jinzhi, Fang Jinzhi, whom he wanted to send into the Great Gan palace

as a bridge of trust between the two sides.

Of course, now that the Holy Duke State had been merged into Great Gan, there was naturally no Princess Jinzhi,

only Fang Jinzhi, the daughter of Great Gan's Marquis Fang, Fang La.

"Father, you don't have to blame yourself; this is all the daughter's own will."

Fang Jinzhi, seeing Fang La's self-blame and heartache, stood up gracefully, lifted her plain hand,

supported her father, and comforted him in a soft voice and sincere words.

"Moreover, the Gan Emperor is a hero of the world, and the daughter also wants to see him."

Then she smiled, her smile beautiful.

It is said that heroes love beauty, but how can beauty not love heroes?

If you want to talk about heroes, who in the world today is more qualified than the Gan Emperor who first destroyed the Great Song, then broke the Great Liao,

and made her father bow his head just by his reputation?

Such a hero, I don't know how many daughters in the world have secretly promised their hearts to him, and she is naturally no exception.

Unfortunately, she was the princess of the Holy Duke State in the past, and even if she had admiration in her heart,

because of the difference in status and the opposition of positions, she absolutely couldn't say it.

Today, she finally got her wish, and she was even secretly happy in her heart.

Moreover, it is rumored that the Gan Emperor is not only a hero of the world with great talent and strategy,

but also talented, having once ranked third in the imperial examination in the Great Song court.

Unfortunately, he wrote the "Mountain Slope Sheep: Thoughts on Tongguan," which was worried about the country and the people, and offended the narrow-minded Song Huizong Zhao Ji,

and was humiliated with a three-no position: no money, no power, no future, as a deputy commander of the Qingzhou training regiment.

Otherwise, with his talent, he would inevitably have entered the Han Lin Academy,

then been sent out as a high official, and finally entered the Privy Council to govern the world.

And there is also the custom passed down from I don't know which dynasty, generation, or year,

that the third-place scholar must not only have outstanding literary talent and be one of the top three in the imperial examination,

but also have an exceptionally handsome appearance, like a gentleman like jade.

That the Gan Emperor could be forced to pinch his nose and name him the third-place scholar by Song Huizong Zhao Ji, who hated him,

shows how pleasing his appearance and modeling were.

Thinking that she was about to see the Gan Emperor who combined great talent and strategy with handsomeness,

a little blush slowly climbed onto Fang Jinzhi's pretty face.
