Unlike some later articles that sang praises of virtue and sycophancy, Jiang Tian did not carry out a profound ideological re-education of the family who accepted bribes, and the other party did not weep bitterly to realize that he had made an unforgivable mistake, let alone later make any messy determination to talk about ideals, vowing to fight for the construction of a more beautiful world for life. The fact is that Jiang Tian gathered the whole house together the next day, and then first self-criticized himself for this mistake, because he himself did not make it clear to the people below, so he announced that this matter would not be an example, and if there was another phenomenon of eating and taking cards in the future, he would be severely punished. A few days later, the porter resigned due to great psychological pressure. The truth of the matter is often drowned in the long river of history for various reasons, and this little thing belongs to the category of mismanagement in Jiang Tian's view, but in the eyes of some well-intentioned people, it has become a hype to prove the correctness of some politics. It is no wonder that when the trend of overturning the case prevailed two hundred years later, this past incident was turned over and attacked by the opposition, but as a result, Jiang Tian, who had already been mythical, rose again in the hearts of the people and became a model of a pioneer in the legal system. Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that all forces dare not smear him.

How can the descendants toss and don't care about him first, Qiu Tian was a little embarrassed after leaving the Jiang Mansion, he originally came to the door with a gift today to thank him and worship the mountain by the way, but he was stunned that he failed to stage the traditional performance drama, and he didn't show loyalty to get the other party's approval, and he didn't even send the gift but received ten taels of silver! But he is not in vain, because according to the conversations just now, it is very certain that the other party has regarded himself as an indispensable player in the camp of the imperial party, after all, to be a pawn of the horse, you must have this awareness, and if you want to get ahead, you must first suffer and suffer. Don't look at this business trip is a bitter cold place in the north, but the political capital that can be earned is immeasurable, and at the same time, the other party is also warning himself with an obvious practice, if you plan to go out to get out quickly, you will die as soon as possible, and the current emperor and Jiang Tian can't tolerate those unspoken rules. As for Jiang Tian also giving him a small manuscript, he didn't pay much attention to it at first, but when he looked through it boredly on the way out of Beijing, he realized that things were not so simple.

The sun still rises in the eastern sky in the capital, and those toiling people who are running for a livelihood will not care about the significance of last night, let alone the impact of a meeting that has changed the concept of land ownership for thousands of years. On such an ordinary morning in early winter, there were two groups of people who were dissatisfied with Jiang Tian's long-term inaction, and it happened that these two groups of people were both from the same place with the same purpose.

"My lord, the villain has already inquired, this responsible ambassador is the descendant of the Chinese emperor who can always be talked about these days, and Lord Jiang who has already paid homage to the crown prince and Taibao!" A somewhat obese and kind-looking guy knelt on the ground with his butt pouted, and continued in a flattering tone: "The villain also found out that this person is lustful, and for this the emperor of China simply rewarded a brothel!" ”

If Jiang Tian heard this comment, he would probably be able to kick this guy as a ball in a fit of anger, but he didn't blame the other party, because that's how it was spread in the market.

A little man kneeling on the couch is enjoying the fragrance of tea with his eyes closed, this kind of high-end goods is a good thing that is not usually seen, and it is many times more fragrant than the matcha that is often drunk. ”

The kneeling man hurriedly replied: "It shouldn't be wrong, and the brothels in the capital have been popular recently, how can this adult's music spread so widely if he is clean and self-conscious?" ”

"I've given him a brothel, isn't this man satisfied?" The tea drinker was a little surprised: "No wonder, young man, but this is easy to do." It seems that you will still do things, and if you can negotiate it this time, it will definitely not lose your benefits. ”

"Then thank you for your kindness." With that, the fat man walked out of the room on his knees. When he was completely out of the yard, he put away the smile on his face, and then calmly dusted off the dirt on his body, he felt a little sorry for this silk hanging, but the thought of the possible profit made him extremely determined.

Since the emperor ordered Jiang Tian to accept the negotiations, the Ministry of Rites finally breathed a sigh of relief, originally this kind of matter involving diplomatic relations and contract negotiations between the two countries, can not let the Ministry of Rites be the master, whenever there is any new change they have to suspend the negotiations and then go to the palace to wait for the Holy Judge, it stands to reason that it is also appropriate to send a plenipotentiary representative, but in this matter, both the emperor and the cabinet, the six ministries have a unified understanding, that is, no Confucian official can be sent to go. For the emperor, this matter is related to the general direction of stabilizing the surrounding forces to fight for construction time, so it is not allowed to be sloppy. However, the traditional bureaucrats are disgusted that a small country dares to negotiate terms with the Celestial Empire, and it is really a shame to say it. Besides, if the official rank is too small and does not conform to the etiquette law, how can it be said that the person also sent the emperor's plenipotentiary, even if he looks down on the emperor on his side, he can't find a sesame mung bean official to deal with it. Then there is Jiang Tian's shining debut, first of all, his grade is high enough, although he has no real power, but isn't it just right, do you puppet emperors complement each other? Besides, he is the emperor's junior brother, and he can be regarded as a close faction, and he is the person who knows the emperor's mind best. Unexpectedly, the emperor just took this opportunity to promote Jiang Tian again, and also gave him a bullfighting suit, which made many officials feel an indescribable awkwardness.

Originally, Jiang Tian wanted to investigate more about the recent situation in Japan, but he sent someone to inquire about it, but no one knew what the situation was. Only Liu Baokai asked someone to bring some news from Tianjin, but it was only a little content of the two missions on procurement, and there was nothing else. Jiang Tian thought that it was not a way to drag on like this, and besides, anyway, the current trade between the two countries belongs to the kind of situation where there is no exchange, and the final result is that the two sides have reached an equal trade agreement, which should be a simple task. And listening to the meaning of the pervert, these two groups of people have not been idle since they hit the shore, that is, what they see and what they buy. Later, I heard that China does not restrict overseas trade, and you only need to pay for as many goods as you want, so I slowed down and carefully selected.

After handing over some of the teaching aids, Jiang Tian instructed his subordinates not to touch those squeamish things. Then he put on his new official clothes, and walked to the Ministry of Rites to check the files, which made the Ministry of Rites feel strange, as if this Lord Jiang did not take those difficult little dwarfs seriously, although Hu Jingyi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, did not eat Jiang Tian's stuffy losses, but his cultivation was not bad. In his busy schedule, he also found time to receive Jiang Tian in person, and he didn't forget to take a look secretly during the greetings, and he didn't find the rumored vain appearance of this kid after he hollowed out his body?

"Master Jiang doesn't know what to do with this matter?" The nonsense was almost over, and Hu Jingyi finally asked what he wanted to know the most.

Jiang Tian almost didn't have fun when he heard it, deal with it? You're not going to let these gnomes go back home, are you? After thinking about it, it is estimated that it has made the anti-entanglement ruthless in the past few days, so it is inevitable to have some resentment: "Lord Hu doesn't know, if he only talks about trade matters, he will not be strict for a long time, His Majesty has disagreed with their conditions many times, in fact, he has other plans!" ”

Hu Jing thought that I knew that His Majesty had other plans, but until now I haven't figured out what he is planning? Two groups of people are fighting with us, they beat theirs, anyway, they are all doing business, you go back and break the blood, and choose the boss to buy and sell things again, let's not care who wins and who loses?

Jiang Tian shook his head, with an expression that could not be revealed: "I'm afraid this adult won't be able to pay attention to it for a while, let's listen to what those people say first." I have one more thing to do today, and I want to ask your ministry to make the next post for me, just say that my little brother I will set up a banquet in the post house tomorrow to invite the envoys of the two countries! ”

"Ahh If they don't see each other, they will fight, and when they do, won't they bleed like a river? ”

"Huh...... Don't worry, if they didn't even understand this rule, they wouldn't be in the capital until today. ”

In fact, the so-called arms fight between the two sides, it is just a matter between the lower-level samurai who act as bodyguards, after all, the people on both sides still have a group of ministers there, as long as they haven't torn their faces, they won't make you die. So after receiving Jiang Tian's invitation, although the two sides have their own ghosts, they can at least give the prince a face. Jiang Tian took the file home and read it in detail, and found that the so-called dispute was actually just a one-sided statement, the truth was that the emperor wanted to expand his finances in the name of tribute, and the shogunate itself did not care about trade, if you sold him a little books, calligraphy and paintings, high-end luxury goods and the like, he was willing to ask, if not, it didn't matter, but he was resolutely opposed to using Sakai Port to become a free trade port, if you emperor had to go ashore from here, but the goods had to take 50% tax! This is clearly here to stir up the situation. Jiang Tian shook his head and sighed, if they were competing for a share of the trade, it would be fine, he was confident that he could settle this turmoil, but now one of the parties is here to destroy the trade, this is not reasonable, it seems that it is better to talk about it first.

On the evening of the second day, in a high-class room in the inn, Jiang Tian ordered people to remove all the tables and chairs, and then spread a thick straw mat on the ground so that people could not feel the cold of winter, and at the same time used a screen to block the wall behind the main seat, making a nondescript Japanese style, and a small table was placed in front of each seat in addition to cotton cushions. Naturally, the amount of sake and food is also superficial, and there is nothing superfluous. This can be regarded as Jiang Tian's complaint about the later generations of Japanese-style restaurants. It's not that I don't have enough to eat, it's that you Japanese eat this amount. However, although the chef tried to reduce the amount as much as possible according to Ginger-sama's instructions, it was still quite enough compared to authentic Japanese food. As soon as the two envoys and their entourage entered the room, they were startled, and said that if it weren't for the obvious Chinese architecture such as the doors and windows of the house, the talkers would have thought that someone had moved the house from their hometown. At the same time, I also understood one thing in an instant, that is, this new ambassador is very familiar with Japan! Jiang Tian looked at their expressions with interest, and after that moment of stunnedness, he didn't forget to salute himself. As for him, he just knelt in his place, and a slight bow was considered a return of the courtesy, looking high. This gave the two envoys the illusion that they were paying homage to a certain daimyo or official in their country, and that the other party was completely unaware of themselves.

This process made the pervert who pretended to be a follower to watch the excitement secretly speechless, and he muttered in his heart, how can this brother understand everything? When he first heard that the house was going to be transformed like this, he was still very contemptuous in his heart, could the little Wa Kingdom not even afford to use tables, chairs and benches, and had to kneel on the ground to eat every day? Later, I heard Song Yi say that this was still learned from the Central Plains, and until the Tang Dynasty, our Central Plains still lived like this, but later it slowly became what it is now, and the country of the Japanese did not grow and still retained the previous rules, not to mention that they walked in with small steps and bowed down, which is really interesting.

At this time, I heard Jiang Tian kneeling there and said with a smile: "I heard that both of them are well-educated people, not only familiar with the language of Middle-earth but also write moral articles, it can be seen that the other country is not that barbarian land, so the official invited the two of them to a banquet today, which can be regarded as meeting friends in writing." ”

The two thanked them again and again, although the pronunciation sounded a little awkward, but it was indeed understandable. Among them, sitting on Jiang Tian's left is the emperor's representative, an official named Fujiwara, I saw him looking at Jiang Tian with peaceful eyes, not at all cramped: "The crown prince Taibao is really too polite, our country has a deep relationship with Middle-earth, admires the etiquette and education of the Celestial Empire, and today the contemptible people are appointed by His Majesty the Emperor to be friendly with your country, just to broaden their horizons and communicate with each other and enhance good-neighborly relations." ”

Jiang Tian almost didn't find a place to vomit, don't look at it just diplomatic rhetoric, it can be disgusting enough for him, but at this time, you can't be so explicit, and you can only use diplomatic rhetoric to answer: "That's really the well-being of the people of the two countries, may we drink this cup for the friendship of the two countries!" ”

At this time, the Tokugawa envoy sitting on the other side was a little unbearable, but the etiquette at the table was still very important, and when the host did not talk to him, he would judge others casually, and he would appear to be very rude, and the other party was an official in the capital.

Naturally, there is an entourage to fill the empty wine glass for the master, Jiang Tian's entourage is a pervert standing in the corner, and Jiang Tian turned to the other side while pouring the wine: "This must be the envoy of the Tokugawa family, Lord Baoshi, right?" ”

The other party hurriedly bowed: "Yes, the next official is Baoke Zhengli." ”

Jiang Tian still kept a smile and said: "Although the master was studying back then, I heard him mention the story of another country, after Toyotomi Hideyoshi's vain attempt to invade Korea failed, it was the Tokugawa family who took advantage of the situation to take his place, right?" ”

Bao Ke Zhengli understood as soon as he heard it, he didn't listen to the story of this Jiang master after he came to China, and he also knew that the master and a student that the other party said were the current emperor, but he didn't expect the other party to even investigate this history clearly, no wonder the Chinese emperor would send his own junior brother to appear, looking at the decoration of today's banquet, you should be able to understand that this person is not so easy to fool.

He could never say what he thought in his heart, and being sent to China proved that he was not an idiot: "It is true that our Tokugawa family is also opposed to Toyotomi Hideyoshi's actions, so in order not to make the mistakes of the past, we have always advocated severing ties with overseas. ”

"Then why did you send Hoshina-sama here again this time?"

Jiang Tian asked knowingly, but the other party's reaction was not slow: "Although our original intention was not to disturb your country, but I waited for the news in the country to be blocked, and only now did we know that the emperor of your country had ascended to the great treasure, and he was sent to congratulate him!" ”

In a word, we are here to say hello, although it is a little late, but it is also to prevent ambitious guys from harassing you, so the news is late, we are here for your good! Jiang Tian kept a smile but scolded in his heart, the little devil is really difficult, no wonder the guys in the Ministry of Etiquette have a headache, if it was in the past, you can find any reason to come, and we will just go back to your country after we have received you. Now the emperor is demanding that Japan be traded, but those who hold real power in Japan do not want to end the policy of closing the country to the outside world.

"In that case, I don't know if there is a national book on the table?" If you play officialdom, let's follow the rules.

The national letter is the weakness of the Tokugawa family, even if you say nothing in Japan, but this national letter can only be issued by the emperor, and if you are a great general, if you write something casually, it will be considered a national letter, and we will not recognize it. Unexpectedly, the other party was also single, and looked directly at Fujiwara: "The letter of state is naturally from Lord Fujiwara, and I heard that it has already been presented to His Majesty the Emperor of your country." Our Tokugawa family was only late because we received the news, but after all, it was a shogun, so we hurried here for fear of missing courtesy. ”

In other words, I'm here to make soy sauce, but don't forget that in Japan we only have the final say.

"I see!" Jiang Tian had fully comprehended this person's logic, so he didn't dwell on it but raised his glass and faced the other party: "That official also wishes Lord Tokugawa Ietsuna an early adulthood, so that he can truly succeed to the position of general!" ”

Baoshina Masashi was really sweating this time, the other party was far away in Middle-earth, and he even knew that the current previous general, Tokugawa Iemitsu, was dead, and he even knew that the current general, Tokugawa Ietsuna, was still underage, and the power had always been controlled by a few family elders. The impact on Baoke is greater than the prosperous scenery of the Central Plains seen these days. Seeing Jiang Tian raise his wine glass, he just held the glass and drank it respectfully, no matter how he said that people were also blessing his master.

"Hehehe......" Jiang Tian laughed softly: "Zi said: It's fun to have friends from afar. If we can meet the two of you today, how can we not drink wine and taste delicious food, and we will not get drunk and return today......"
