"I'm still a little worried!"

Zhou Ben always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong. Like Li Shenfu, he subconsciously forgot about Zhang Hao and Xu Wen.

"Instead of worrying about that, let's think about how to explain to the court that the marshal is not going. The saint decreed, but let the festival marshal go to Luoyang in person, and now the festival marshal is not going to take advantage of illness, and I don't know what the saint will think. Li Shenfu didn't want to talk to Zhou Ben about that false worry, but turned the topic back to Luoyang and his party.

"Yan Keqiu is also, how did he come up with such an idea for the festival marshal. Giving his daughter to the Holy Lord, is it feasible in the current situation? Thinking of the two little ancestors in the cabin, Zhou Ben was a little unhappy.

"Don't blame Yan Keqiu, he's just a strategist. The main thing is that the marshal doesn't want to go to Luoyang, but if he doesn't go to Luoyang, will the court give up? In today's situation in the world, will the imperial court tolerate Huainan's secession and self-reliance?

Isn't it good to learn from Qian Biao and Zhong Chuan? No matter how jealous the saint is, he won't go too far, and if it gets to the end, everyone will be unhappy. There were no outsiders, and Li Shenfu began to complain.

"The festival commander has made up his mind, and I can't persuade him." Zhou Ben shook his head, "But there is one thing, that is, if we go, there will be no generals in Huainan." ”

Zhou Ben is right, whether it is Zhou Ben or Li Shenfu, Zhu Yanshou and An Renyi are all generals who can be in charge of Huainan alone.

Even if Zhu Yanshou and others may have different intentions, their military exploits cannot be erased.

Especially Zhou Ben, who is also the commander of Huainan's Ma Bu Army, controls Huainan's Ma Bu Army. As soon as he left, Huainan's army would be leaderless in a short period of time, and it would be quite troublesome if there was really an accident.

"You're worrying too much. The festival commander is located in Yangzhou, assisted by Zhang Hao and Xu Wen, and there are several assassins of Liu Wei, Tao Ya, and Li Yu, if there is a rebellion, he can also deal with it. Li Shenfu said soothingly.

"What if the court detains us? Moreover, the imperial court bought countless people in Huainan, the imperial court detained us and others, and then waved its army to attack Huainan, how could Huainan resist? Zhou Ben said in a deep voice.

"This..." Li Shenfu hesitated, but he didn't expect this.

"I think this trip to Luoyang is a conspiracy of the imperial court. Our eyes were all attracted by whether the marshal went to Luoyang, but we forgot that the imperial court itself was ready to attack Huainan.

If the marshal goes to Luoyang, he will take the opportunity to leave the marshal in Luoyang, and he will be able to control Huainan after dividing and disintegrating the states of Huainan; If the marshal doesn't go, the court can still detain us and then wave Huainan.

No matter how you choose, it is Huainan who suffers in the end. The more Zhou Ben analyzed, the more he felt that his analysis was very reasonable.

"Won't it?" Li Shenfu felt a little incredible.

In his opinion, the imperial court should not do this, after all, it is not very good to spread out.

"Quite possibly!" Zhou Ben's tone was affirmative, "Don't think too simply about today's saints. The trip to Luoyang was originally a Hongmen banquet, and the marshal did not dare to go to war directly with the imperial court, so he could only retreat to the second, but fell into the tricks of the imperial court. ”

"But even if we see it clearly now, we can't help it, we can't escape!" Li Shenfu pointed to the sailor warships in front and behind, looking a little depressed.

In front and behind the ships in Huainan, there were naval warships of the imperial court, and cavalry on both sides of the strait followed, so it is conceivable that even if the Huainan delegation wanted to run at this time, they might not be able to run.

Zhou Ben looked at it and shook his head, since Yang Xingmi decided to let them go to Luoyang, this situation was destined to appear.

"Only by finding a way to stabilize the imperial court and see if we can make the saint change his attitude towards Huainan, otherwise Huainan will usher in a big change." Zhou Ben was a little emotional.

He didn't understand why Yang Xingmi would decide like this!

。。。。。。

"Right Minister, the Tang people have sent someone to deliver a message, saying that our ships cannot go north through the canal for the time being, and we need to wait for a while, so that the mission can rest in Shengzhou for a while.

And the Tang people warned us not to move around at will, and if we went out, we had to report to the Tang people. ”

After Sugawara Michizane's delegation arrived in Shengzhou, the Yangtze River Naval Division took over the escort, but the Yangtze River Naval Division informed them to rest in Shengzhou and then wait for news before heading north.

"Why? We are here to make an envoy, why are the Tang people so lazy? "Sugawara Michizan is really a little dissatisfied.

"Back to the right minister, the lower officials don't know what's going on. Moreover, the lower officials could also feel that the officers and soldiers of the Tang people did not seem to care about our mission, and they felt a little ignorant. The member of the mission said.

"Right minister, the lower officials also feel this way. The sailors of the Tang people are indeed very cold to us, as the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, wouldn't it be a loss of grace for the Tang people to do this? In addition, the officials of the mission also spoke up to express their dissatisfaction.

Because in the previous decades, Datang has been in a civil strife, and the reverence of the Japanese people for Datang is not as good as it was in the previous one or two hundred years.

From the news they have received in the last ten or twenty years, they believe that the Tang Dynasty has been in civil strife and is very weak, and if it were not for the Silla pirates, they may not have sent this envoy to the Tang Dynasty.

"This is the country of the Tang people, we had better be cautious in our words and deeds, and don't cause trouble." The deputy envoy next to him, Sanshan Qingxing, reminded.

"Deputy Envoy of Sanshan, we are members of the mission, is it possible that Datang will still embarrass us?" Some people are not angry.

"The official is just kindly reminding you that if you don't listen, the official can't do anything." After saying that, Sanshan Qingxing turned around and left.

"The deputy envoy of the three goodness doesn't seem to think about the country at all, what is this? That's it? Someone next to him was angry.

"He is known as a sinologist, and he is very yearning for the culture of the Tang people, and he naturally yearns for the Tang people in his heart, what is so strange?"

For a while, the members of the mission around Sugawara Michizane began to slander the three good seiyo.

Most of the members of the mission were selected by Sugawara Michizane, and some were sent by Fujiwara Tokihei, but there were not many of them.

Sanzen Kiyoyuki is Fujiwara Tokihei's person, so Sugawara Michizane's subordinates don't have much affection for Sanzen Kiyoyuki, even if the other party is proficient in Sinology.

"What the deputy envoy of Sanshan said is right, this is the land of the Tang people, let's not act rashly, don't forget the purpose of our trip. It is to understand who is behind Han Kou and find a way to eliminate Han Kou.

In addition, we need to re-understand the current national conditions of the Tang people. Although Sugawara Michizane was dissatisfied with the attitude of Sanzen Kiyoyuki, he did not have his own purpose for coming this time.

"Yes, the subordinate obeys the order!"

Sugawara Michizane spoke, and these people shut up one after another.

"Prepare, the Japanese envoy of tomorrow will go to this Shengzhou City to have a look and learn about the situation of the Tang people."

Sugawara Michizane and his entourage didn't stay long in Mingzhou, and they didn't have much freedom, so they didn't know much. But the Shengzhou in front of him is different, it is a big city, and the Tang people did not say that they would restrict their freedom, since they could not go to Luoyang in a short time, he naturally had to use this time to get to know the Tang Dynasty well.
