213|The Japanese Mission

Yiwu visitors have been very cautious since entering the Tang Dynasty, they are already big powers, and now they have defeated the Turks and become a hegemon, we must learn from other people's advanced concepts with a respectful attitude.

On the first day, the court paid the protection fee, and then the officials of the Honglu Temple enthusiastically arranged a place for them to live and chatted, and there was a banquet in the palace that night, and the day was very fulfilling. The next morning, the officials of Honglu Temple were waiting at their residences, saying that they wanted to take them to enjoy the customs of Chang'an, which was naturally a good thing that could not be sought.

I had long heard about the academic atmosphere of Nanshan, and the officials of Honglu Temple took them to Nanshan after proposing it, in addition to reading books in Suiyuan and communicating with scholars, they also watched two games of football in the nearby Keju field, and they were very satisfied with the itinerary on the first day. The next day, the officials of Honglu Temple came again in the morning, and they had never been so enthusiastic as usual, and Igo came to make him realize that something was wrong.

It seems that the mood of the saint on the day of the banquet is not very good, and it seems that he also chose a specific road to pass yesterday, is there something wrong in Chang'an?

sighed that these people did not come at the right time, and they all owed the saint for not treating them poorly because of their bad mood. Then there was nervousness, because it was too coincidental, would the Tang people think that they were doing something to the people? Could the hospitality of the past few days be a disguised surveillance?!

You can't ask, you can't be different from usual, you can't find an excuse to leave early, otherwise you'll be targeted. For the next few days, the envoys pretended not to know anything, and had been acting under the arrangement of the officials of the Honglu Temple, and they were expecting another envoy to share the pressure.

The other mission they were looking forward to had logged in to Datang many days ago, and today they also received a message from the local government in the court.

If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat from, as soon as the little chamberlain finished speaking, Zhao Deyan stood up, "Shengshang, Weichen has something important to say." The Japanese mission is coming, and they will be able to reach Chang'an tomorrow. ”

Hehe, hehehe......

Cui Zhixian lowered his head and covered his mouth, afraid that he would laugh on the spot and lose his honor in front of the palace. He has been frantically harassed by the people these days, and can only interrogate suspects at night, and after several days in a row, he walks shaky. There may not be a murderer among the suspects who are about to report to the saint, and he is afraid that the saint will come to the savior when he is angry, how can he not be happy.

Others are also happy, because only the ninja guesses that the evidence is not sufficient, these days the bigwigs are studying how to get some real evidence out, but they didn't expect the evidence to be sent to the door by themselves. We have to think of a trick to get both, not only to know whether the Japanese people really participated in the framing of Wang Xiangong and have a connection with the dead Dong Yilin, but also to ensure that the other party can be successfully framed if he is innocent.

The swallows in front of the hall looked at each other shamelessly, for the sake of gold, we old bones have to spend brainpower again.

Li Shimin didn't think about gold at all at this time, although he loved money very much, but others calculated that he and his important ministers were more important than gold. It's good, the land of the Japanese country dares to contact the Dong family, and even colludes with that person, wanting to ruin the reputation of the Tang Dynasty, if I don't give them a little power, I will call the Heavenly Khan!

He was so excited that he clenched his fists, and the wound on his arm hurt all of a sudden, and Mr. Li thought of his father who frequently stood up for the Li family. Everyone dared to go against him, except for his father, and they all cleaned up one by one!!

Seeing that the saint had fallen into a state of madness, the ministers were afraid that he would destroy the gold and hurriedly spoke out one by one.

Fang Xuanling: "Holy Lord, we have no evidence, if we arrest directly, it will damage the demeanor of a great country!"

Du Ruhui, a good friend, hurriedly stood up and praised, "Weichen thinks that what Fang Xiang said is very reasonable, if you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, we still need to discuss the perfect plan before acting." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also raised his head and looked at his brother-in-law, and said the word gold with his mouth. Li Shimin was reminded by him and slowly woke up from his frenzied state. Mr. Li suppressed the feeling of directly killing the Japanese people and asked, "You say this, do you have an idea?"

Seeing that his yin and yang weirdness seemed to be about to get angry, the bigwigs didn't step forward after looking at each other, but Hou Junji jumped out, "Weichen has a way to !!" Brother Hou waited for the opportunity to send him to be a general, and he was crazy when he saw that this opportunity was good, and he really asked him to come up with a bad move.

Li Shimin saw that he looked confident, and said with interest: "Hurry up and listen to it." ”

Originally, the civil officials didn't have any expectations, although Hou Junji, this kid is not as uneducated as Qin Qiong and Wei Chi Jingde, but he is also the second-stirring stick in the Tang Dynasty after Cheng Biting Jin. Although the ranking has been faintly surpassed by Fang Er in the past few years, we can't underestimate him because of this, after all, this person has done unreliable things, and he is full of experience.

Seeing the disdainful faces of the civil officials, Hou Junji angrily said his thoughts concisely, and then said: "Why, if anyone is not convinced, come up with a better idea than this." ”

Li Shimin thought carefully after hearing this, don't say it, this kid's idea is really interesting. The civil officials are also bright-eyed, this time Hou Junji is really out of shit luck, and he actually came up with such a good idea.

Wei Zheng, a person with an upright face, must stand up at this time. Don't get me wrong, he didn't want to object to the despicable idea, but wanted to apologize to Hou Junji, "I'm sorry General Hou, I didn't think you had any good ideas, so your demeanor is not very good, how offended!"

Seeing him like this, the civil officials all apologized. Brother Hou first forgave them very much, and then looked at Li Shimin expectantly, "Holy Lord, if you send troops to the Wa Kingdom in the future, can you let Weichen go?" Afraid that it would backfire like last time, Hou Junji didn't dare to look at Li Shimin with such disgusting eyes.

Mr. Li also knew that he regretted not participating in the Turkic war, thinking about the reason why he didn't send him out, one was that he trusted him and wanted to stay to keep us safe, and the other was that every time he was released, something happened to him.

This time is different, the Wa Kingdom has no neighbors on such an island, and it has committed such a big mistake, it is very suitable to send Hou Junji in the past. Thinking of this, Li Shimin bowed his head and said: "The things I promised you will naturally be counted, since it is the idea you came up with, you should hurry up and prepare to go." I didn't listen to Zhao Deyan, they arrived soon. ”

"Thank you Shengshang, after Weichen retreats from the court, he will go to Wangxian Gongna!!" Hou Junji was so excited that he couldn't wait to take his troops to the Wa Kingdom now. But no, you have to complete the plan first.

Seeing that the time was a little tight, in order to let Hou Junji act quickly, the rest of the people who had little things to say chose to shut up, so they immediately retreated so that he could hurry to Nanshan. Li Shimin also meant this, thinking that he would have the opportunity to interrogate the Japanese people to see if he could know something about his investigation, and also have the opportunity to blackmail the Japanese monarch, and Mr. Li's mood improved.

Wang Jue is in retreat, and he will resume his work from today, but as for why, it's not because of a mouse that can lay ten golden eggs a day! He had already trained a few disciples in the morning, so he waited for those few people to come over in the afternoon to train him again, but instead of waiting for Li Chengqian and them, Hou Junji came.

When Wang Jue was wronged by Dong Yilin, he had some contact with Hou Junji, and when the two were not strangers, Hou Junji explained his intentions cheerfully. Listening to him boasting about how he came up with such a good idea in a few days, Wang Jue thought that he was hallucinating, thinking about several important events about this guy in history, the secret historian really didn't deliberately smear him.

Although it was very insidious, she liked it! Hearing that the Japanese people might arrive tomorrow, Wang Jue was not in the mood to teach the apprentices a lesson, so he hurriedly took them to the barracks with Hou Junji, and someone notified the disciples who came to class in the afternoon to also come to the barracks to meet him.

After a day and a night of intense screening and special training, the masters and apprentices of the Hundred Schools were so tired that they rode on horseback and took a nap. As a result, on the way back to Nanshan, I saw a group of Japanese people from a distance, and several people immediately became energetic.

Well done!

They don't ride fast because they're sleepy. Seeing that there was a Japanese delegation in front of him, he slowed down very tacitly, like a rich man who came out of Chang'an for an outing. Because of the special medicinal bath, the ears of the people of the hundred schools are stronger than ordinary people, and when there is still a distance, they hear the conversation between the two people on the opposite side.

"Inu-kun, why don't we go to Nanshan to have a look first, just take a look!"

"I know that Medicine Master Jun is in a hurry, but we can't be too eager, otherwise the Tang people will be on guard. I heard that Tang Guojun is very generous, as long as we make him happy with sweet words, will there be no such things as expected? We will stay in Datang for two years, you must not ruin the plan. ”

"Yes, yes, no wonder the emperor sent you as a chief envoy, compared to your caution, I am really ashamed of myself!"

"Where and where, who doesn't know the ability of the medicine master to forget, this operation will rely on you more. ”

After listening to the back-and-forth praise of these two people, although I don't know what they want to do, it is certain that they are trying to do something wrong. Even Fang Yiai knew that he couldn't make trouble at this time, and the disciples of the Hundred Sects held back their anger and passed by them. Inougami Mita sat on the horse's back and turned to look at their backs and was stunned, why did his heart suddenly tighten.

Unlike his disciples, after listening to the conversation between the two, Wang Jue easily knew who they were. After Emperor Shu Ming succeeded to the throne, he sent a team of people to visit Datang, in fact, he said that he could bring back some good things with the intention of saying good things, and the most important thing was to be allowed to stay and study. Among them, Inougami Mita was sent as the main envoy, and Yakushi Huiri was the deputy envoy, and the time of their arrival recorded in history was the autumn of the fourth year of Zhenguan.

If it weren't for this, how could Wang Jue lead the death of the Turks to the Japanese people, those evidences were not enough to send troops, all because she knew that such an event in history would happen at a close time. She has been very nervous for a few days, afraid that many things will change because of her arrival, and if the Japanese people don't come, her plan this time will be greatly discounted, but fortunately they came.

Originally, the Tang Dynasty in history was much more advanced than them, and they were all running over with the intention of stealing, and this time there were a series of legendary stories made by Wang Jue, and the Japanese people were bound to find out.

Recalling that he went to Japan once before the end of the world, Wang Jue was very sad to see the architecture, etiquette, and talents of the Tang Dynasty being called Japanese culture by various countries and even many Chinese. At that time, she thought that if the Tang people, who generously left behind the Japanese people at that time, could know a series of things that happened in the later generations, I don't know if they would be so angry that they would cheat the corpse.

Now that she is destined to be here, those who have been stolen by the Wa Kingdom will not be lost again. And our old neighbor North Korea, what 'Korean medicine', old paper it!!

Seeing that the teacher was slowly riding a horse and walking around the corner, but his demeanor was looking straight ahead and bursting out with strong hatred, the disciples couldn't help but shrink their shoulders. It's terrifying, is there any hatred between our Baijia faction and the Wa Kingdom? No, I'm too curious, and I must ask when the teacher returns to normal.

Speaking of the envoys of the Japanese state, they were warmly welcomed immediately after entering Chang'an. This welcoming person was first of all the envoys of Igo, and they had already found out about the affairs of the Wa Kingdom, after all, all the people knew about it, and it was not a secret even if they didn't mention it in ordinary times. Hearing that the best suspect has arrived, Igo has made the envoys collectively excited, and the savior who has been distracted has finally arrived.

Of course, this welcome is only in my heart, and it is inevitable that the saint will misunderstand that we are involved with them, and we will inevitably be estranged.

The person who really welcomed them in action was Zhao Deyan, and his bright smiling face was like seeing an old friend who had not been together for many years, which made the two Japanese envoys immediately let go of their hanging hearts. Their country is not peaceful, and their national strength is not as good as others, and they are afraid of being treated coldly in Datang. Even then they will not leave, and it is the habit of their people to bow to the strong.

Although Zhao Deyan had a good attitude, the two envoys of the Japanese Kingdom still flattered and tried to curry favor, wanting to get more information from him that they needed. Who is Zhao Deyan, if they have heard of what Zhao Deyan did in the Turks, they will never dare to use their small tricks to show ugliness in front of the strongman.

However, they didn't know that Zhao Deyan was also happy to complete the task given to him by the Holy Lord, and hurriedly threw out the traps frequently in his words. The bigwigs are more cautious, but they don't just prepare a trap, for fear that they won't get enough evidence.

In the same way, bring the envoy to rest and freshen up, and then face the saint again the next morning. Unlike treating the Yiwu people, Li Shimin didn't ask for anything, listened to the compliments of Inougami Mita and Yakushi Huiri, and made a look of being slapped by them, and promised them without hesitation after the play was almost done, and promised that they could study in Chang'an, and set up a banquet to entertain them tomorrow night.

Back at the residence, Inugami and Yakushi were quite proud. Inougami sighed softly: "I don't know what the Tang people think, if I have anything that will definitely not be passed on to other countries, they are very generous and actually allow us to learn, if one day we overtake them to see how they can laugh." ”

"Yes, yes, let's just curry favor with them at this time. ”

The two praised each other for a while, and when they were tired, they went to rest, while the two who were prostrate on the roof quietly left. One is Li Shimin's spies, going to the palace. One is Zhou Qi, who went to Nanshan to report the situation to the teacher.

I thought the teacher would be angry, but I didn't expect her to just sneer and say that she knew. And Li Shimin was so angry, without him, according to his usual character, if he hadn't been vigilant in advance, he would indeed agree to the envoy's request. Thinking of this, he almost became the wronged boss in their mouths, how could Mr. Li not be angry.

Waving off the spies, Li Shimin sat in the study for a long time before going to rest. He remembered many things, such as Wang Xiangong once emphasized that some things must be prevented from being learned by foreigners, and his son also hid strict secrecy when he got a good formula, but he was fluttering because of the title of Tian Khan. Li Shimin picked up the pen and wrote down the three words 'Tian Khan' vigorously, and then tore it apart.

Why did you put the banquet on tomorrow night, just to give the banquet performers more time?

Although it was a banquet for the envoys of the Japanese state, how could he not bring Yiwu guests. Seeing that there were many more officials in the palace than when they entertained themselves, especially the people who did not often participate in these activities on the military generals side, and there were also Wang Xiangong and Meng Juzi, who did not show up at all, the Yiwulai people did not get angry at all because of the neglect, but mourned silently for the Japanese people in their hearts.

Based on the difference between the news they heard and today's banquet, something will definitely happen later. The most terrifying thing is that they sit next to the Japanese people, and they don't know if they will be affected, but they never dare to open their mouths and propose to change their positions.

These Japanese people are also very wrong, they were very happy to compliment the monarch of the Tang Dynasty before, but for some reason they changed their faces after seeing Lu Guogong. The look of wanting to talk and stopping like a ghost made the originally planned things changeable.

Cheng Biting Jin was almost angry, didn't he see the old paper that day, why did he look frightened today. If the arrangement goes wrong later, he can think that not only the civilian officials will spray, but even the military generals will defect. The problem is, he let himself look left and right, and it really is no different from the past!

No, he had to ask before the plan began: "Envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, what expression do you look at me, but you are dissatisfied with me?"

Hearing this, Pharmacist Huiri hurriedly stood up and bowed down to explain, "No, Lu Guogong is a rare famous general through the ages, how can we be dissatisfied." ”

Thinking that this will be the way to pass? Cheng Biting Jin said unrelentingly: "When I am blind, Lao Cheng is a real person, if there is a misunderstanding, you can say it quickly." ”

"We are familiar with Lang Jun on your side, and we know that the age is wrong and we recognize the wrong person after a closer look, I'm really sorry. "Inugami Mita couldn't, so he had to tell the truth.

Oh, it turned out that I didn't look at Lu Guogong.

Li Shimin was curious: "Come and point out, who are you looking at, and who does that person look like?"

Inugami Mita pointed at Cheng Tieniu and said, "He is quite similar to the young son of one of our colleagues, but that person has a red mole between his eyebrows, he is much younger than him, and his figure is not as burly as him." ”

Oh, it's just the wrong person, it's like a ghost, it's sick. Hou Junji was vague like a guard outside the door, and the plan remained the same.

After the episode, everyone began to chat and drink, and singing and dancing were indispensable during the period. Igo came to make the whole process vigilant, he didn't dare to drink too much wine, he didn't dare to eat the food, and the dancers who came to toast didn't dare to look at it, for fear that he would also be unfortunate on his side. Just when they were about to think it was just an ordinary banquet, something happened.

I saw that Li Shimin drank high and said that he was very good at dancing, and the envoy of the country hurriedly said that they could dance, so that the three of them danced in the center of the hall. Who knew that when the enthusiasm of the jump was high, suddenly several daggers shot at Li Shimin, and several hidden places such as the roof jumped off the masked man and rushed towards Li Shimin with a short sword.

At that time, Li Shimin was dancing near Wang Jue, she jumped up and rushed over to deal with a few flying daggers, but one of them still pierced her vest, Wang Jue fell to the ground and couldn't stand up, and the scene instantly became chaotic. Those who knew martial arts either ran to protect Li Shimin or to arrest the assassins, and the disciples of the Hundred Schools Sect pulled Wang Jue aside to treat him with all their might, and it is worth noting that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually ran away by himself.

Looking at the flying dishes and chopsticks and the blood gushing everywhere, the Igo envoy was about to collapse. They originally thought that the Tang Dynasty was planning to rectify the Japanese people, but looking at the appearance of Wang Xiangong not far away who was injured and seemed to be dying, as well as the heart-rending cries of the disciples of the Hundred Schools and the bloodthirsty faces in the hall, they wondered if there would be an accident.

Who could tell them why the Assassins attacked everyone and only pretended to chase them a few times. With such an obvious difference, didn't you see the eyes of the other people in the hall looking at them?

There was a premonition that the Assassins would inevitably be treated coldly by the Tang people after they were captured, but the envoys had no choice but to prove their innocence by helping to kill the enemy as much as possible. However, none of the guests brought weapons into the banquet, and the weapons of the Tang people were all taken by the assassins, and the people of the Japanese kingdom did not have much effort to make them enter.

At the signal of Inugami Mita, several of the Japanese envoys were ready to die, and they rushed straight to the assassin, intending to snatch the assassin's weapons together. The assassin saw that they seemed to be surprised by what they had done, and after a little hesitation, he killed those who stood in his way, but instead of approaching the Japanese people, he went towards Li Shimin again.

These processes took place only for a short period of time, and when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rushed in with a large number of guards in the palace, the Assassins saw that the matter was not going to be done and committed suicide en masse. Their mouths looked like poisonous substances, and when they bit it, they saw blood in their throats, and every assassin who fell to the ground was terrified to bleed black blood from their mouths.

The envoys of the two countries looked at Li Chengqian's appearance and thought that he had abandoned his father to hide under the pretext of looking for helpers, but he did not expect that after he came in again, he went straight to Wang Xiangong who was lying on the ground, and when he took out a small bottle from his arms, poured the liquid inside into Wang Xiangong's mouth, and then turned it around and sprinkled it on the wound, so Yan Zhan's injury was actually stopped in front of him.

The guards were handling the corpses of the assassins, the palace maids and eunuchs also trembled and entered the palace to clean up, and the injured ministers were treated on the spot by the imperial doctors who rushed to the scene.

After listening to the imperial doctor's explanation that Wang Jue was still saved, Li Shimin showed a grateful expression, and then instructed the guards: "Please invite the envoys of the two countries to sit in the county government prison, and remember to divide and detain." ”

The envoy felt that they were just incidental, and that they might not be compensated after suffering for a few days, so he only said that this matter had nothing to do with them, and left with the guards.

The Japanese people are not stupid, thinking about the Assassin's care for them just now and the situation that they had an accident just two days after they arrived in Datang, they felt that they had to explain the matter clearly, otherwise I am afraid that they will not see the Holy Lord again and will have to give their lives here.

"The murderer was instructed by him, please ask the Holy Lord to arrest him. "Looking at the fingers of the Japanese envoys, the person they are referring to is Cheng Tieniu?!
