236| Missions to the Wa Kingdom (6)

Hearing the emperor ask about this matter, Zhao Deyan and Chai Shao told the Dong family about it one by one. Of course, this matter has been exempted from the key part of Confucianism's search for classics and the birth of a hundred schools of thought in their mouths, and they only said that because of the defense of the two families of the disciples, Wang Jue wanted to use the Dong family to establish his authority, and when he searched the Dong family, he found witches.

In this way, when the story reached the ears of Emperor Shu Ming, Wang Jue became a narrow-minded person who was good at holding grudges, but when he was evil against the other party, it happened that the other party was not clean. The emperor pondered, he had to prepare a separate gift for Wang Xiangong, the other party's heart was too small, and he couldn't be hated because of this little thing.

Zhao Deyan was refreshed, he was overwhelmed by debt collection, and he could be regarded as having the opportunity to pay back, but unfortunately the other party didn't know about it. Chai Shao was a little nervous, and he followed Zhao Deyan because he didn't want the emperor to know about the internal affairs of the Tang Dynasty. If it is said, Wang Xiangong is indeed very resentful at some times, I just hope that her words today will not be known by her.

After a little thought, the emperor decided to go ahead with last night's plan. Taking the wooden box handed over to him by Zhao Deyan, Emperor Shu Ming said in embarrassment: "There is one thing, I have to tell you alone after thinking about it." I recognize the tattoo pattern inside the box, and this is a unique symbol of the Soga family. It's just that I don't know if it's another frame-up incident, or if the Dong family has contacted the Su family. Even if they have been contacted, they may not be unfavorable to Datang, after all, we are far away and don't know what the situation of the Dong family is in Datang. The status of the Su family in our country is very special, or should the emperor carefully investigate and then tell you, how about it? ”

Zhao Deyan felt that Emperor Shu Ming should want to use this matter as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Su I. Chai Shao felt that Emperor Shu Ming wanted to play the trick of killing people with a knife, and let the Tang people help them get rid of the big obstacle of the Su family. Both of them knew the specific plan for the Wa Kingdom, so naturally they couldn't solve the Su family now.

"I think maybe the Dong family wants to stick to the Su family, and then use them to disadvantage Wang Xiangong. The Emperor can rest assured that our holy lord is a very intelligent person, and he will not be mistaken about this matter. ”

After listening to Zhao Deyan, Chai Shao nodded in agreement, "We came to the Wa Kingdom, the emperor and the people of the Su family are very enthusiastic, how can such a friend unite with the enemy to harm us." The emperor doesn't need to be nervous, although we have only been in contact for two days, we already feel that the people of the Japanese kingdom want to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, and they will not destroy our relationship because of Xiaoxiao's tricks. ”

Emperor Shu Ming's expression stiffened on his face with pretended anxiety, and he was glad that the Tang Dynasty had sent a bunch of straw bales and a rectal general, but now he secretly hated how the two of them were so far. Everyone insisted that the matter must have been misunderstood, and if he pestered the Su family with ulterior motives, then it would be unsurprising that his purpose would be too exposed.

He could only comfort himself, it was a good thing that the two of them thought so. After all, almost everyone in the country knows about tattoos, and if they learn about it from others, maybe things will return to the original point. It has already been repeated once, and if Tang Ren tosses again, his heart will definitely not be able to withstand this stimulation. It's better to find another opportunity to use them in the future, anyway, the two parties have already been linked, and if he doesn't have a chance, he can also create his own chance.

Thinking of this, Emperor Shu Ming showed a sincere smile, "Great, I'm afraid I don't know how to explain it." The two envoys said well, both the emperor and the people of the Wa Kingdom want to make friends with the Tang Dynasty, and the two of them must convey this sentence to the Li family's elder brother. ”

I'll go, return the Li family's brother, your brother Li has dreamed of waiting for you to die so that he can dig a grave!

The two complimented the emperor back and forth, and then said that they had just drunk too much and then came to check their appearance, and they were really tired and panicked. The two sides said goodbye politely, and the two returned to the accommodation arranged by the Japanese people, and waited for a long time for Li 123 and them to return. Since they couldn't discuss the problem, everyone went back to their rooms to rest with a show-off.

Before leaving, most of the things arranged by the imperial court had been done, and the rest of the time everyone gladly accepted the warm invitations of the nobles, who were surrounded by Japanese food and zombie dances all day long. Such grievances are for the remaining task, to collect information on the various forces of the Japanese state. The guards who came with them were sent out to play on the street by Zhao Deyan on the grounds that they didn't need guards at a friend's house at all.

They are all people with public offices, playing with fart, and those people are all on the street to collect civil intelligence. Of course, by the way, I also have to sell the goods brought by Mr. Li.

During this period, Li 123 broke away from the organization several times, and he took a few children who could fool him to feast on the Japanese country many times. At the last banquet before leaving, seeing that the family's affection was not too high, Li 123 knew the reason when he thought about it. They can be treated well because of themselves, and they are afraid that we will return to our old life when we leave the country.

Through guò's inquiring without a trace, Li 123 learned that when he was not invited, these families would also be called to the mansion by many nobles to tell stories. In addition to the external factor of little entertainment in ancient times, the behavior of the nobles of the Wa Kingdom originated from a subtle heart. The Tang Dynasty in the mouth of the Tang envoys, everyone likes to read the script, which is a long-lasting popularity.

For people who are many better than themselves, as long as it is not particularly harmful to their own interests or obviously illegal, many people will blindly follow the trend and imitate it. Therefore, the nobles who didn't pay much attention to the script actually slowly evolved into a new trend in Heijo Kyo. The so-called good at the top and the bottom must be followed, and I think this epidemic will soon spread to the whole country.

However, most of the families are people who live at the bottom of the Wa Kingdom, and their limited vision prevents them from thinking outside the box to see the situation clearly, so they worry about their future. They didn't want to think about it, so they didn't know when Li 123 would come again, and then they remembered the friends they had met, and the smart people in the upper echelons of the Japanese country couldn't send them a bite to eat.

However, their anxiety is a good opportunity for Li 123, who wants to get favors and complete the big task by the way.

Seeing that everyone's affection was not high, Li 123 pretended to understand and said: "Hey, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know when we will meet next time!" Before leaving, my brother has a reluctant request, and I hope you will consider one or two. ”

Li 123's speech pulled many people back from their distractions, and a young man answered curiously and asked: "If you say anything, please don't please, why should your brother be polite." "Xiao Young is very proud in his heart, a few days ago he was still a storyteller who was laughed at, and his life was not even able to do basic food and clothing, and in a few days, he called himself a brother and sister with a distinguished person from the Tang Dynasty, and it was like a dream to think about it.

"Brother, then I'll be cheeky. I told you about my newspaper before, and I want to bring your work back and publish it in the newspaper. You see, is this fee according to our rules? ”

Xiao Young said briskly: "Hey, why bother to say hello for this little thing." What do you do with the fee, you just use it! ”

Other people also spoke out, saying that Li 123 was too outlandish with them. said it happily, but in fact, his heart was dripping blood, it turned out that the Tang people wrote back the money, but it was not like them who had to rely on people to reward according to their wishes. Of course I want money, but when I think of the terrifying Su I family, no one dares to really accept it, and life is the most important.

Li 123 was not as hearty as usual when he heard this, but said with a surprised face: "What? Take it back

The Japanese people in the house began to verbally excuse again, but in fact they were already happy to death. People say that if we don't collect money, we will trap him in injustice, so we have sufficient reasons to collect money, and we don't have to worry about being blamed by the nobles. Then, everyone was curious about how much money Li 123 was going to give, but no one was embarrassed and no one dared to ask.

Li 123 used to be an ordinary civilian, he knew the minds of the people present very well, and now he can play the main role.

"Regarding the cost of the story, we at Datang pay the manuscript fee in sections according to the number of words and the wonderful course of the story. In addition, if there is a story that is particularly popular with the people, there will be a generous thank you fee afterwards. Due to the distance between the Wa Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty, it is impossible for me to come to receive the manuscript every time, so I plan to let the caravans help to transport it regularly. However, the caravan people didn't have the talent to tell what story to give and what to price, so I thought of a good idea. Why don't you write the story and start spreading it in the Wa country, and after the caravan arrives in the Wa country, go to the people to inquire about the people's evaluation of each story, and then set a fee according to the evaluation? ”

I thought it was just a one-shot deal, but I didn't expect Li 123 to propose a long-term cooperation method, and carefully noticed the possible problems and got along well with the solution, which is really enough for friends. In this way, as long as the fee given by Li 123 is not too low, and there is their usual income, everyone will be able to eat well in the future. Most of the people in the room began to feel guilty that such a good friend was actually tricked into telling the secret by them.

It doesn't seem good to fool people into spreading tragic stories all day long, and Li 123 is also guilty in his heart. Both parties smiled, and they couldn't help but look away, they were too ashamed. In order to reduce the guilt in his heart, Li 123 hurriedly asked the guards to carry the box out, and the box was filled with the gold that Li 123 Yan* gave them.

The guards were very happy to leave temporarily, what Datang family has a very high status, and what Datang realm cost customization. If it weren't for the fact that their concentration was acceptable, they would have been unable to help but burst into laughter, Li Langjun was so careful when he lied. The perfect system in Li 123's mouth is all something he comes up with in his dreams......

Calculating the time, they have been in the Wa Kingdom for a month, and all the things that need to be done have been completed, and it is time to return. On a sunny morning, the emperor and a kind of nobles were reluctant to see off the Tang delegation at the ferry. The other party was going to leave before, and they persuaded me to stay for a few more days, but this time I couldn't persuade him anymore.

Thinking of digging up only some Confucian classics and stories of the Tang Dynasty, the emperor looked at the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom who were about to set foot on the land of the Tang Dynasty again, and it was up to you as soon as he could. Those people wanted to cry very much, they must have returned empty-handed in the past, and Wang Xiangong specified that they would not worry about them before he asked the surnamed Zhao to bring them all back.

During this period, Wang Xiran and the four of them were already familiar with the Japanese people, and they also sent their compatriots away with their eyes, thinking that they didn't know how long they would be here, and their mood was not so good.

Zhao Deyan and Chai Shao led their subordinates, with a large amount of gold and collected information, and slowly left by boat under the gaze of the send-offers.
