12. "The mo bei envoy delegation requests an audience!"
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "Mo bei envoy yu loulan pays respects to her majesty, the great feng empress."
3. With this posture, these mo bei people are deliberately slighting the empress!
4. They don't take the great feng's national prestige seriously!
5. If the empress swallows this, she will have lost her presence before negotiations even begin.
6. If she doesn't swallow it, I can simply use "Mo bei etiquette differs from great feng's" as an excuse.
7. Strange... Why is there no sound at all? Is she going to cause trouble, or say "Rise"...?!
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. "The northern envoys do not understand great feng etiquette. Just now, they humbly sought instruction from this commander, and this commander did not begrudge teaching them."
2. "Everyone, how dare you not kneel?"
3. "Kneel already!"
4. "The mo bei delegation pays respects."
1. "Pays respects to her majesty, the great feng empress."
3. "The mo bei envoys have come from afar; thank you for the arduous journey. Rise."
4. Commander gu has some nerve. This mo bei delegation came in aggressive, most likely to raise some unreasonable demands.
1. "And she actually preserved great feng's face by her own strength alone."
2. "I am ashamed, I am ashamed. When all fell silent, only commander gu, a mere martial brute, stepped forward, while we..."
3. "Sigh... But the way she acted was far too rash..."
4. "The consequences this time are unimaginable. These mo bei barbarians want nothing more than money, grain, and equipment. Just give it to them!"
5. "Ahem. Commander gu, I... Your ink is ready."
6. "The mo bei envoys also came to behold your style. Now, you can't refuse, can you?"
7. "I have long heard that today I would have the fortune to witness the great feng's sage of letters brush and compose. So the sage of letters, far at the edge of heaven, is right here before my eyes?"
8. "Your majesty must judge with fairness!"
1. "Still putting on a relaxed face with death at the door!"
3. "Ningning should be able to write more than "Having seen the gentleman, how could I not rejoice?" right?"
4. "It is just writing a masterpiece to be passed down. Watch closely."
5. "My posture while holding the brush is going to be incredibly beautiful~"
1. "Th-this... Am I seeing things?! Gu ning's brush moves like a flying dragon and dancing snake, without even a pause!"
2. "Weren't we told she is illiterate?"
5. "She is writing way too fast. Could she be scribbling nonsense? She has to be writing randomly!"
6. "No, look! She is clearly writing characters! It is just too far to see clearly."
1. The autumn waters share one color with the endless sky
3. "N-no way!"
4. That's not right. Did I teach that well? The piece I had ningning memorize wasn't this one.
5. How did ningning do it? She... Could she really have summoned the star of literature to possess her?!
1. "Good, take it and read it to them."
2. "Hehe, back then I just memorized this. Just to your Prince Teng's Pavilion! I never thought it would shine today."
3. "Truly great, Master Wang Bo!"
4. "The whole thing barely needs any editing, except changing 'sky', 'a humble life of three feet, a mere scholar' to 'was a humble life of three feet, a mere warrior!'"
5. "A mighty prefecture veiled in mist, talents shine like stars... the setting clouds and lone wild geese fly together, the autumn waters share one color with the endless sky!"
6. "Mountain passes are hard to cross; who pities the one who's lost his way? Meeting by chance on drifting waters, all are guests in a foreign land..."
7. "It is the ninth month, the order belongs to late autumn, when the runoff ends, the cold pool turns clear; as evening light condeals, the mountains glow purple, stately are the chariots and horses upon the high road..."
8. "Idle clouds and the pond's reflection, day after day, things change, stars shift, how many autumns have passed?"
9. "Splendid, truly a classic! The great Feng literary world should toast Commander Su to the full!"
1. "This piece can be called a timeless classic!"
2. "Impossible!"
4. "Everyone, look at this line, 'governor yan's elegant reputation.' gu ning, this piece was clearly written long ago. Where would there be a governor yan here at court?"
5. "You memorized this days in advance and brought it to deceive your colleagues, and deceive your majesty!"
6. "Oh? Then what if I write another one?"
1. "Hmph. If you can write another one, I will voluntarily give up being chief examiner of the autumn examination, and I will also strongly recommend to your majesty that you take the post."
2. "But if you can't..."
3. "Fine. You asked for it~"
4. "Th-this... "Have you not seen the yellow river's waters coming down from heaven"... What a bold, heroic spirit!"
5. "I have never heard of anyone able to write a poem with such vast, surging momentum!"
6. ""Call for the boy to bring out fine wine; with you I'll drown ten thousand ages of sorrow." I couldn't come up with a poem like this in my whole life."
7. "Commander gu should be the autumn examination's chief examiner!"
8. "I still don't believe it! You must have used some deceitful trick!"
9. "Gu ning..."
1. "No one could produce such famous works in such a short time!"
2. "Prime minister, you can't say that carelessly."
3. "Everyone here saw it with their own eyes. Everything I can do was taught by his majesty."
4. "His majesty instructs, and it is as if a fairy visits my dreams day after day. I soar straight to the celestial palaces and copy down these heaven-bestowed masterpieces,"
5. "A place of everlasting brilliance, sung through the ages..."
6. "Isn't that exactly like the legend of the star of literature receiving a touch of immortal inspiration?"
1. "Has anyone heard these poems anywhere else?"
2. "Commander gu truly is a genius sent from heaven, the sage of letters of our age!"
3. "Your servant has proven her learning. I humbly request that your majesty grant me the post of chief examiner for the autumn examination."
4. "My beloved ministers, does anyone have any objections?"
1. "We congratulate commander gu on taking the post of chief examiner of the autumn examination!"
2. "Commander gu's talent is boundless. She will carry forward great feng's literary lineage; the post belongs to none but her!"
3. "We second that."
4. "Good. Then I hereby decree that beloved minister gu shall be appointed chief examiner of the autumn examination, to handle all matters of the autumn examination."
5. "The other deputy examiners and overseers shall follow beloved minister gu's command."
7. "Your majesty is wise!"
1. "Your majesty, we have come this time bearing our khagan huxie's demands of great feng. It concerns peace and stability between our two nations. We ask your majesty to allow us to present them."
2. "Granted."
3. "Our khagan yearns greatly for great feng's vast fertile lands, abundant goods, and advanced crafts."
4. "He wishes great feng to offer five million taels of silver each year, and eight hundred thousand taels of gold, as annual tribute."
5. "In addition, please offer six hundred thousand bolts of silk and cloth each year as yearly textiles, so that our two nations may form a friendly alliance!"
6. "This is outrageous! If great feng offers tribute and textiles year after year, how would we be any different from a vassal state of huxie?!"
1. "Vassal state of mo bei?"
2. "Great feng is vast and mighty; how could we bow to northern barbarians? They are clearly provoking us!"
3. "Ministers, don't panic. This envoy hasn't finished..."
4. "Great feng's new emperor has only just ascended and the throne is still unstable. The court is in turmoil. Whether the prince of the northern garrison or the prime minister, they have all chosen to cooperate with us, mo bei..."
5. "What is such a rotting country, if not a sheep? Would it dare face our mo bei's fierce iron cavalry?"
7. "Great feng should also offer beauties to mo bei year after year. Choose those of virtue and talent, with delicate looks, and send them for a marriage alliance..."
8. "Our khagan said peace is hard-won."
9. "If the great feng empress is willing to condescend, our khagan can also accept her with a smile, so that then..."
10. "Peace is hard-won..."
1. "It really must be considered carefully..."
2. "Hmph. Just as I told yu loulan earlier, the empress does fear war between the two nations, so even in the face of a heaven-high provocation, she dares not act rashly."
3. "Even that madwoman gu ning is the same. No matter how capable she is, she still has to swallow her anger and watch her majesty be humiliated~"
4. "In the end, when the two nations make peace, it will still depend on this minister...!"
5. "What?!"
6. "Bound forever in~good~will..."
1. "Ah! How could this happen?!"
2. "Our clothes!"
3. "What is it? All of you, what kind of behavior is this? It is just a sword form meant to intimidate. Are you trying to make mo bei lose face..."
1. "Gu ning! Y-you're courting death!"
2. "Courtesy demands reciprocity. Since mo bei intends to tie a good match with our great feng,"
3. "Then this commander will first accept envoy yu, with a smile. Envoy yu, please don't refuse. It is all for the development of our two nations."
4. "You... You pervert!"
1. "Stupid ningning! I know you want to help me vent my anger and raise our national prestige, but you can't stand that close to that woman!"
2. "After court, I won't let you off..."
3. "A union of bamboo and paired joy. Mo bei envoys are full of sincerity and wish to deal candidly with great feng."
4. "Immediately escort them into the jinwu guard's secret prison. This commander will "Entertain" them properly."
6. "Commander gu, y-you... How dare you be so reckless?"
1. "Mo bei has grown strong in soldiers and horses in recent years, repeatedly harassing the northern border. They have been worrying they lack a reason to start a war. Aren't you throwing great feng into fire and water?"
2. "Your majesty! Those things; land, goods, even beauties... What is wrong with rewarding them? It is not worth starting a new war..."
3. "Today we cede five cities, tomorrow we cede ten. When will it end?"
4. "Minister zhao, don't you understand that a powerful enemy's greed is bottomless?"
5. "Or is it that... Minister zhao didn't jump out earlier, but now you are so agitated and so loyal and brave..."
6. "Are you actually hoping to sacrifice yourself and go to mo bei for a marriage alliance?"
1. "Alliance?"
3. "Enough. The matter of marriage alliances will not be mentioned again."
1. "The day after tomorrow is the autumn examination. Everything will be discussed after the autumn examination."
2. "The mo bei envoys... Will be handled entirely by beloved minister gu."
3. "Long live your majesty's wisdom!"
4. "Stupid ningning, why did you stand so close to that mo bei envoy just now? It even looked like you touched her! That's way too much!"
5. "You must give me a reasonable explanation, or I'll..."
1. "Also touch her little hand! No no no, saying it like that is way too direct."
2. "Reporting to your majesty, this servant couldn't stop commander gu."
3. "Sh-she walked too fast. The moment court dismissed, she rushed straight toward the jinwu guard garrison."
5. "Was ningning in that much of a hurry to "Favor" those mo bei envoys? Ningning is strengthening great feng's prestige."
6. "Jiang yuelin, this little grievance is nothing; you have to pull yourself together. Sob sob sob!"
