Cai Boyu looked at the land in front of him and was slightly stunned, what kind of land is this, it is just a few islands!

But at this time, the discovery of the island is undoubtedly more exciting than seeing the mother-in-law, Cai Boyu waved the command flag and said: "Pass my order, the fleet will move towards the largest island, first figure out what kind of place this is!" ”

The storm came and went as fast as it came, and a while ago it was still lightning and thunder, but now it became cloudless, and the sea breeze was light, and the sun hung high in the sky and shone on the sea and the fleet, as if the storm just now was just a joke on everyone.

Xia Zhu stood on the deck with his neck stretched out, facing the ship's overboard and vomiting, just now he was bumped in the cabin, but he didn't even have time to vomit, how could he not vomit the unhappiness in his chest now that he was free?

The beautiful seascape was destroyed by Xia Zhu in this way, and Cai Boyu kindly patted Xia Zhu on the back: "In the future, we won't take this kind of errand for the envoy, your old body can't afford such a toss, it's better to let the young civil officials in the court come." ”

"How do you understand the deep meaning of the official family sending me here? Most of the young officials can afford to let go, how can they have such a strategizing as me, let's face the emperor of the Japanese people this time, if it weren't for the old man's means, do you think the emperor of the Japanese country would be obedient and ask me for help from the Great Song Dynasty? The old man is looking for an opportunity for the Great Song Dynasty. It doesn't matter if it's official or not, but whether I do it or not is another matter, do you understand? ”

Cai Boyu nodded as if he didn't understand, Xia Zhu didn't explain, after all, one day he will understand, the mission of the courtiers is to assist the king in preparing for a rainy day, doing a good job is nothing, the most difficult thing is to think more long-term.

This is also the reason why Xia Zhu accepted the letter of the emperor of the Japanese state, he had to prepare for the Great Song Dynasty and the official family, and how the official family decided was no longer within his jurisdiction.

The small spinnakers on the ships were retracted, and the huge ships sailed towards the shore by the sea breeze.

The fleet did not dock directly, but moved along the island, Cai Boyu planned to land on the largest island, and asked the local natives what kind of place this was, but Xia Zhu had already said the answer: "This is probably the Liuqiu recorded in the Sui book!" ”

Cai Boyu turned around and said, "How did you know?" ”

Xia Zhu shook his head hatefully: "How many times have you said that you should read more and read more!" How can you be so knowledgeable enough to be sent by a ruler? In that year, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Zhu Kuan, the captain of the Yu Cavalry, to go to sea to visit overseas customs. When you go to the south of the Wa Kingdom, you will see a pearl-like island floating in the sea, "if the dragon floats on the water", so it was named Liuqiu. When the Tang Dynasty compiled the Book of Sui, because "虬" means a small dragon, in order to avoid the emperor's dragon, the place was renamed Liuqiu. This is a history book, haven't you even read a history book?! ”

Cai Boyu touched his head: "I read it before, but then I put it down when I was busy with Cai Ji's business......"

"It's the way of a businessman again, you don't even read history books, and your way of a businessman won't be long!"

Cai Boyu is used to Xia Zhu's preaching, for some reason, Xia Zhu is particularly fond of preaching, he originally planned to worship Ding as a teacher, how did Xia Zhu become his teacher?

It is rumored in the court that Ding Wei and Xia Zhu do not deal with each other, when the first emperor was still there, Xia Zhu served as the judge of Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, and Ding Wei served as the envoy of Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, and was Xia Zhu's boss. Banquet colleagues in the dining hall, there are acrobatic performances to help the fun, Ding Wei deliberately embarrassed Xia Zhu: There was no acrobatic poem before, you can make one. Xia Zhu was also not stunned to chant poetry on the spot: Dancing and picking beads and revomiting pills, covering up the tricks and making hundreds of ways. The lord sat upright and had no reason to see it, but he was looked at coldly by others. Since then, the beam of the two has been concluded.

The bystanders are clear, Cai Boyu can see the contradictions between the two from the way they talk and do things, Ding Wei is stubborn and will not turn around in order to achieve the goal, while Xia Zhu will do whatever it takes to achieve the goal.

Cai Boyu didn't want to be twisted between the two, Xia Zhu had been signaling to him to worship under his door recently, this is not a good sign, I'm afraid that Straight Dao Ding wants to accept himself as an apprentice, he wants to deliberately intervene, right?

Even their own students were snatched away, which was an extremely embarrassing laughing stock among scholars.

When the fleet docked, it attracted many natives to watch, the locals in sackcloth and wooden spears in their hands looked at the boat like a huge room, the sails of the warship were speechless, and even many people threw away their weapons and bowed to the huge warship, and there were similar giant ships in their memory.

As an envoy, Xia Zhu naturally had to take on the responsibility of educating the Tibetan people: "Where is your royal court? ”

An elder appeared in the crowd, his net worth and status could be seen from his clothes, everyone else was dressed in coarse linen while he was wearing a silk robe, and he spoke in authentic Chinese: "Is it an envoy from the Celestial Empire?!" The royal court is in Shuri Castle, and I ask an angel to come with me. ”

Xia Zhu nodded slightly and gave the old man the gift of the Han family, and the old man also returned the salute and said excitedly: "Three hundred years, it has been a full three hundred years since the last angel arrived!" Don't know that the Celestial Empire is changeable? ”

Xia Zhu was stunned in place, and said with a slight redness in his eyes: "It's a big difference!" ”

The two walked side by side and constantly exchanged information with each other, Cai Boyu didn't understand why the high-ranking Xia Zhu would have such respect for the people of the outside world, and he did not hesitate to surrender his identity and treat each other as equals.

Xia Zhu took the old man's hand and said: "The kingdom is commensurate with the name of Liuqiu, in the future, you only need to send people to pay tribute every year, my Great Song Dynasty will definitely help Liuqiu, the Celestial Empire suffered drastic changes back then, and now it is stable and prosperous, and will never abandon the subject country and ignore it!" ”

Cai Boyu finally said Xia Zhu's plan, this old man must want to take down the stream without blood, and the so-called help is afraid that it will be more to ask for, right?

The so-called royal court is just a slightly better big house, not even the smallest side hall of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is far from the palace of the Wa Kingdom, but the rules inside still follow the system of the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Cai Boyu and Xia Zhu have a natural sense of belonging, even if the captain repeatedly requested, the two still refused to follow them, since it is the court of the Han rites, it must be abided by, no matter what kind of person as long as they obey the Han rites, they will not mess around.

Sure enough, the king of Liuqiu personally walked out of the main hall to greet the two, and met each other with the courtesy of the princes, after all, the Sui Dynasty brought civilization and Han etiquette to Liuqiu, and Liuqiu had a strong sense of belonging to the Central Plains Dynasty......

In the hall or in accordance with the Sui and Tang Dynasty system, the monarch and the minister knelt on the ground and talked, after Xia Zhu and Cai Boyu sat down, the king of Liuqiu said: "The Sui Dynasty conquered Liuqiu during the year, but because of the language barrier did not explain it clearly, since then the Tang Dynasty Sui and I have also heard of it, but there is no contact, and now the envoys of the Kingdom have visited, I don't know what happened?" ”

Diplomatically, as long as the war is mentioned, it is a bad thing, Xia Zhu immediately spoke: "At this time, it is no longer what it used to be, my Great Song Dynasty replaced the Tang Dynasty as the Central Empire, and the Song Dynasty Tianzi was kind to the people and loved things, and regarded foreign clans as a family, and now sending me and others here is to restore the goodness of the two countries!" ”

Cai Boyu was stunned by Xia Zhu's serious nonsense, is this a fake holy decree? Obviously you were blown over by a storm, but you can lick your face and say that you were sent by the government, why don't you say that God sent you!
