235|Envoy to the Wa Kingdom (5)
The next day, Emperor Shu Ming was busy looking for evidence to invalidate the portraits, so he arranged for the officials of the Japanese State to take the Tang envoys to enjoy the customs of Pingchengjing. At this time, Su I, who got the news, began to take advantage of the opportunity.
At about noon, several Japanese officials took them to the area where the clan lived, and the group 'coincidentally' met Su Irulu walking on the road. After pretending to be surprised, Su I said with a smile: "I have invited a well-known family near Pingchengjing, and I am thinking about inviting you to the house as a guest on which day, but I didn't expect this to happen, why don't we choose a day to collide with the day?"
Li 123 was very cooperative, he heard Su I enter the deer to mention the country, and immediately showed a big smile on his face, "I don't know what to say, you are so busy as a minister, you actually take my preferences to heart so much!" After speaking, he looked at Zhao Deyan and Chai Shao, "I want to go back to the house with Su and my minister, what about you?"
Chai Shao's face showed a vigilant look, "We naturally want to go together!"
"It's my honor for everyone to come!" I knew this result, but I still couldn't avoid regrets when I entered the deer, if only Li 123 was alone.
When they came to Su I's house, everyone looked at each other vaguely after observing his house, judging from the size and furnishings of the house, this place was even more gorgeous compared to the residence of Emperor Shu Ming. As soon as everyone took their seats, there was an entourage that came up to eat all kinds of food, and the careful preparation of their food was on par with the emperor's banquet.
Su I was very enthusiastic about entering the deer, and it was inevitable to drink two glasses during the meal, and everyone was very puzzled that they didn't pour wine this time. When he was puzzled, the main event came, and Su I entered the deer and asked people to remove the food plate and said to everyone: "I didn't know you were coming, those families have already eaten." Now that we're done eating, why don't we invite them to drink and talk?"
Well, the feelings are waiting here, and a special person was arranged to pour wine again, and it seems that Su I entered the deer for the structural diagram of the mausoleum. Li 123 continued to cooperate, "That's great! I'll tell you the truth, I was thinking about them when I was dining just now!"
Both the host and the guest were satisfied, and soon the empty table in front of everyone was filled with wine and snacks by the servants again. The originally empty place also began to be put on the table, and after a while, more than a dozen Japanese people of different ages walked in.
The Tang envoys looked at these people who came in together, although their every move was as free and easy as possible, but their eyes couldn't help but look at Su I's face. These people have rough skin, and unlike Chai Shao, who has rough skin due to practicing martial arts, their bodies all look thinner.
The clothes are very decent, but the fabric looks too new, and they look cautious when they move their bodies, thinking that they are afraid of staining such good clothes that they can't wear on a daily basis. To sum up, the life of these people in the Wa Kingdom is not good. Li 123 secretly rejoiced in his heart, so that it would work better.
Obviously very angry, he still has to keep smiling hard, and he is talking about the current Su I into the deer. It was late when I got these people yesterday, and I only had one morning to wash their bodies, put on new clothes, and train their manners, and now it seems that even if they are dressed up on the outside, they can't get rid of their cringe.
Looking at Li 123 who was in excitement and looking at the fresh Tang envoys, Su I breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately, the other party did not observe these carefully. Seeing that Li 123 wanted to talk and was a little shy, Su I entered the deer and hurriedly introduced the two parties, and then glanced at the Japanese countries vaguely, "I just provide a place for everyone to chat, don't take care of me, although I am interested, I don't know much." ”
After repeated contact, if I hadn't known some of the details of Su I's deer, just looking at the kind look on his face would have been able to get along with this person. You don't have to think about it to know that these people must have accepted the turnip and stick, and the task is to pour wine on themselves. Li 123 listened to Su and I bragging about how well-known the families present were, and he hurriedly said excitedly: "Great, I came to the country to communicate with such a character! Let's talk about our respective preferences, and I'll throw bricks and lead the jade first." Subsequently, Li 123 began to tell the story of "Death under the Peony Flower".
After listening to the story, a young man said excitedly: "This story is so novel, no wonder Li Langjun can be famous in the Tang Dynasty! Being able to recognize a character like you is really a blessing from my three lifetimes, let me toast you!" After speaking, he drank three bowls of wine in a row.
Li 123 looked happy, and did not hesitate to dry three bowls of wine in the direction of the young man. Seeing this, Su I entered the deer and faintly cast a praising look at the young man. Not to be outdone, the others said, "I was so immersed in the story that I forgot where I was! This story is so touching, and I respect you too!"
It was a bit too conspicuous to go on like this, and a middle-aged man said: "The story written by Li Langjun is so good, can you tell another one?"
"Ahem, since you like it, I'll continue to sacrifice ugliness. Li 123 put on a complacent and extremely controllable attitude, he straightened up and began to tell the tragic story made up on the road, but temporarily changed the background to the Tang Dynasty.
Not surprisingly, after the speech, he received some praise and wine. Tang Envoy was very depressed here, they didn't want to listen to the stories that specifically fooled the girls, but they had to cooperate with the praise. Only by looking at Li 123 being frequently drunk can I get some psychological comfort.
After a few rounds, I saw that Li 123 was almost drunk and confused, and an entourage hurriedly ran in, this is a hind move. Seeing his anxious appearance, Su I Jinlu hurriedly asked, "Why are you so reckless, but what happened?"
"The guards over there who specialize in looking at people's faces all say that they have a headache, they say that they can't tell people's looks now after seeing too many faces, and the emperor doesn't know how to reply!"
"Oh, what can I do! This matter is not trivial, why don't you change people and continue to watch!"
The attendant replied, "This is the case with several groups of people, and because many people look too similar, everyone is reluctant to distinguish them." ”
Su I was embarrassed, "Tang envoys, what should I do?"
Chai Shao's brain moved, and he knew that they wanted to transfer himself and Zhao Deyan away, and then ask about the mausoleum drawings. Now this opportunity is just right, Chai Shao's eyes rolled, and he was very cooperative, "What do you mean, since many people look alike, why don't you look at it? Hugh wants to deceive me, who will lead the way, I will go in person!!"
Zhao Deyan answered, "General Chai is right, nothing is as important as this matter, I have to go and see!"
Then many people responded, only Li 123 sat there and didn't move, "I'm chatting happily, I want to go to you!"
After some arguments, it was finally decided to leave a few people with Li 123 to continue to be guests at Su I's house, and the rest of them went to see the people who had been found. Su I entered the deer and personally sent people to the door, saying words of poor hospitality, and my heart was overjoyed.
After he returned to the hall, he did not appear too eager, but discussed with everyone, and frequently persuaded the Tang people who stayed behind to drink. Just as he was about to ask for the drawings, an uninvited guest came, and the attendant said that the emperor had walked past his house and came to sit down.
Su I entered the deer with a stiff smile and hurriedly went out to greet him in person, and this time everyone in the house followed. Because of the arrival of the emperor, the face-saving project that I just did has come again. After a while, a series of Japanese magnates walked here to visit. Li 123 smiled secretly in his heart, this is interesting, the upper echelons of the relationship have a habit of walking all over the street after dinner.
After taking their seats, everyone joined in the enthusiastic discussion, and seeing that Li 123 had begun to get drunk and sleepy after several bowls of wine, Su I entered the deer and hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask: "When I heard about the mausoleum yesterday, I thought that I couldn't wronged the emperor. Brother Li, can we have a discussion, we don't pass on that drawing, can you draw a copy for us?"
Li 123 scratched his head in confusion when he heard this, "The teacher said that you can't pass it on to outsiders lightly." However, I really want to tell you, what can I do?"
Su I came up with a bad idea, "Yesterday, I heard that Emperor Tang likes gold, why don't Lang Jun say that he exchanged the drawings for gold?"
it, right in someone's arms. Li 123 resisted the urge to laugh and asked in confusion: "What if the teacher asks me where the gold is?"
Emperor Shu Ming said excitedly: "Oh, it's hard to say this! We are friends again, and we don't want Lang Jun's things for nothing, the gold will naturally come out of us!"
"I have to sell this news for a lot of money, otherwise I will definitely be scolded by the teacher when I go back. No, no, we are good friends, we can't let you pay hundreds of thousands of taels of gold!"
Hundreds of thousands of taels of gold?!
Thinking that it would be cost-effective to buy the road to becoming an immortal at this price, everyone boldly promised: "Why not, if Lang Jun doesn't accept it, he won't treat us as friends!"
"Cheng, bring pen and ink!" After listening to Li 123 shouting this sentence, the four treasures of the study room that had been prepared early in the morning were sent by the servants.
After Li 123 finished drawing the drawings and explained in detail what kind of items should be placed where, and how much to put and how to put these details, the discussion in the room returned to the topic of Fang Cai. The emperor listened to Li 123 tell tragic stories in succession, and couldn't help asking: "Isn't the life of the Tang people very good, why does Lang Jun tell such stories?"
Li 123 smiled when he heard this, and said with a mysterious face: "You don't understand this! Although the cultures of the two countries are slightly different, if you recall carefully, are most of the stories that can be passed on to people for a long time are tragic stories? Compared with consummation and happiness, people always can't forget those who are unsatisfactory, and they always sympathize with those who are more miserable than themselves, so I like to tell tragic stories, and this is my trick to becoming famous. ”
When the Emperor heard this, he bowed his head in agreement, "Listening to you, I think it's really like this. We also have a lot of tragic stories in our country, let them tell them too. "It's enough to save face, and I even want to show off this kind of thing.
The Japanese people who wrote the scripts watched the emperor and the magnates arrive one after another, and at the same time felt that this was a good opportunity. When the emperor's words fell, everyone began to tell their own stories of their own making. Whether it is good or bad, Li 123 can catch the shining point in the story and praise it, which makes the emperor feel very face-saving again.
Even so, he didn't want to listen to the tragic story all the time after the serious business was done, so he suddenly asked in surprise: "Why are they only here, where are the rest of the Tang envoys?"
"Someone just said that the matter of looking for a portrait was suffering, and they went to take a look. ”
"Oh, it's all because you said it so well that I forgot about it. After saying goodbye, I said goodbye to everyone, and no one could stop people from doing business.
The rest of the nobles of the Wa Kingdom secretly scolded the emperor for running fast, but they all wanted to have a good relationship with Li 123, so they could only stay and continue to listen to their endless tragedies, endlessly comparing which story was so tragic and moving.
And the emperor, he didn't just leave to save himself from tragedy.
first returned to the residence to hide the mausoleum map, and after bathing and changing clothes, he asked Zhao Deyan to come over. That's right, after a night of deliberation, he was going to take the risk of making it bad.
Zhao Deyan and Chai Shao, who were found, entered with smiling faces, and Zhao Deyan began to flicker again, "The emperor is really right, just now the two of us went over to take a look, there are really many people who are very similar to the portraits, and the strange guards are dizzy." ”
"Hey, I didn't close my eyes much last night, but now I'm really relieved. Chai Shao sighed and asked, "By the way, what did the emperor do to recruit us?"
Emperor Shu Ming invited the two to sit down first, and then summarized the matter of the portrait, "I think that the cultivation of ninjas by the people of the two countries is to pick out the people who have the characteristics and looks of my country in their own country, fortunately, we didn't have a bad relationship due to the poisonous scheme, and I am afraid to think about it." Then he changed the topic, "Yesterday, I was worried about the portrait, I wanted to ask you what happened to the unjust incident of Wang Xiangong." ”
