Chapter 228: Conquering the Three Kingdoms
Qu Ping and the two entered the room of the new Koshari envoy, and the other party was a little shocked, and they were restrained in the face of the two giants.
Qu Ping naturally found a stool to sit down and said, "Don't be nervous. I believe that everyone has heard about the disappearance of Prince Sriwijaya recently. This king came this time to make sure again. Rest assured, if everyone is innocent, this king will certainly not wronged you. ”
The new Koshari envoy A was a little nervous and said, "Lord Wang, the Sriwijaya and the new Koshari have always had friction, and it is natural for you to have doubts. But we can guarantee that as long as we are on the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, we will never do anything to kill the prince of Srivijaya! ”
Zhao Chengzhang said: "If something happens to the Three Buddhas and the country is in turmoil, you will benefit most directly." ”
Envoy B was a little excited, and said, "Master Hou, we have already explained last time that it is not only our new Koshari who covets the Three Buddhas. ”
Qu Ping signaled everyone to calm down and said, "Can you help this king analyze why killing the prince can cause turmoil in the situation in Srivijaya?" ”
Messenger A is not easy to hide, and sooner or later these things will be known to the whole world. He said,
"King Sriwijaya is over 60 years old, and before that, he had four sons who could inherit the throne, but unfortunately they were all killed one by one. When he was in his forties, the king was old again. In order to preserve the last torch of the heir to the throne, the king of Sriwijaya tried his best to send the child outside as soon as he was born, and he traveled from place to place every year or two, just to prevent people from finding out the whereabouts of the prince. However, now that the king's life is dying, the exiled prince may have to return to his home country and inherit the throne. ”
"This prince is also miserable. I have never enjoyed the glory and wealth of being in the royal family, but I still have to bear the rise and fall of the royal family! Qu Ping sighed.
Messenger A said, "This is his life." It was also two days ago that we learned that the prince of Srivijaya had turned into an envoy and hid in the Great Song Dynasty. ”
"It's a pity, before it became a blockbuster, it was already gone!" As he spoke, Qu Ping poured three cups of tea and personally pushed them to the three messengers to enjoy. Qu Ping looked at the scratch on Messenger B's right arm and asked casually, "What's the matter with the scar on your arm?" ”
Emissary B glanced at his right arm and said, "Oh, this? It's rubella scratching. ”
After Messenger B finished speaking, he grabbed a handful of the four nails of his left hand on his right forearm, and four rows of red scratches suddenly appeared.
"Does it matter? There's a doctor on board, why don't you ask him to come and have a look? Qu Ping asked.
Messenger B said, "Thank you, my lord, I have had this disease since I was a child, and I have medicine myself." ”
Qu Ping nodded, looked around the room, saw a pile of large bags and small bags, and a big drum, and asked, "When you go back from the Great Song Dynasty, do you bring any specialties of the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
Messenger A said, "Yes, porcelain, tea, ......."
Qu Ping interrupted Messenger A's words, pointed to a drum in the corner, and asked, "This drum was also brought back from the Great Song Dynasty?" ”
"It's a brass drum, but it's heavy. We are going to take it back and present it to the king as a birthday gift. Messenger A explained.
Qu Ping said, "Oh? King's Birthday! Then you have to say hello to your king on my behalf! ”
Messenger A said, "Definitely, I hope that it would be better if the prince could come to us as a guest in Xinkoshali and let us shine." ”
Qu Pingxin said: "If you do it, your new King Koshari's birthday will not be easy!" When the time comes, it will not make you shine, but it is possible to destroy the disaster! ”
"Haha, I must go when I have time. Okay, don't disturb everyone's rest, farewell! After Qu Ping finished speaking, he said goodbye to the messenger of Xinkoshari, and went back to the deck with Zhao Chengzhang to discuss.
On the aft deck is a canopy, and there are tables and chairs underneath, complete with tea and snacks on the table.
Qu Ping and Zhao Chengzhang discussed while drinking tea.
Qu Ping said: "Do you think that the messenger who said that he had rubella, when I asked, he replied too calmly? When the water is clear, there are no fish, which is not normal! ”
"When you say that, Lord Wang, it's really like. The previous scratches on his hands were noticeably deeper than this one. Even if you're sick, there's no need to scratch yourself all over your body, right? Zhao Chengzhang echoed.
"What's more, he also said that he has medicine." Qu Ping said, "At present, they are the most suspicious, and you send people to monitor them more." ”
Zhao Chengzhang promised: "I know." ”
At this time, Qu Ping saw Feng Chao coming out to hang out on the deck, so he called him over and asked, "Didn't you ask you to protect him without leaving for twelve hours, why did you run out by yourself?" These days, nothing unusual, right? ”
Feng Chao replied: "Everything is normal, I don't see anything abnormal about him, but I often feel sad with me, saying that the prince is missing, and he can't escape his crimes." ”
Zhao Chengzhang said: "The prince asked you, why did you run out by yourself?" ”
"He said he was going to take a shower and let me come out and get some fresh air." Feng Chao said.
"It's almost October, and it's a waste of fresh water to take so many baths." Qu Ping said, "Go back and see, if he falls into the bathtub and drowns, or if the enemy sneaks in and kills him, then you are derelict in your duty!" ”
Feng Chao slapped his head and shouted, "Oh, my subordinates will go back!" With that, he ran to the cabin.
Qu Ping gave Zhao Chengzhang a look and said you go to the back and take a look.
Not long after Zhao Chengzhang left, Xiao Lu led Han'er over panting and said, "It's hot, your girl is running all over the boat, I have to tie her a rope!" ”
"That's not okay, be careful when people say you're abusing young children." Qu Ping smiled, "Go back to the room and take a shower first, you don't have to worry about wasting water, you have to go more." Big deal, I'll give you my share. "Heshun
Xiao Lu said: "Are you buckling, or are you generous?" ”
"Otherwise, the two of us will be counted as a share, saving half of the water source." Qu Ping quipped.
Xiao Lu glanced at Qu Ping, pulled Han'er and said, "Next time you talk nonsense in front of the child, be careful to knock out your teeth!" ”
Qu Ping said forcefully: "Is it wrong for me to say that I should save water resources? Really! ”
As soon as Xiao Lu left, Zhao Chengzhang came back, covering his mouth and smiling as he walked.
Qu Ping said, "What are you laughing at? Did you hear me? ”
"Huh? What did you say, lord? Zhao Chengzhang came over and poured a sip of tea first, sat down and said, "Guess what?" I can see it clearly in the back. Feng Chao pushed open the door and was about to go in, when he poked his head in, and it was estimated that before he could look inside, he was slapped by Wang Tailan's boy's 'wow'! ”
When a big man takes a bath, is he still afraid of being peeped at?
Qu Ping felt strange and asked, "Why?" ”
"I also think it's strange, they're all men, they're all out of the house, what's not to be seen in a shower!" Zhao Chengzhang said, "He's not like me, is there anything taboo about his body!" ”
Qu Ping admired Zhao Chengzhang for looking at his own shortcomings so straightforwardly, but Zhao Chengzhang's words made Qu Ping even more curious about Wang Tailan, could it be that he was a tomboy? Interesting.
The ship docked in Jiaozhi Guangnan, and the envoys of Jiaozhi, Champa and Angkor all bid farewell to Qu Ping and Zhao Chengzhang, and disembarked and returned to their respective homes.
These envoys are not suspicious, and it is a waste of food to keep them, so it is better to let them go early.
I heard that Li Yanghuan, the lord of the country of Cochin, had already captured more than half of the land area of the country of Champong, if it were not for the fact that the Angkor Dynasty in the west did not want to see Cochin grow stronger, and finally participated in the military participation to force Li Yanghuan back, I am afraid that the city will soon be destroyed.
After Qu Ping asked the envoys of Cochin, Champa and Angkor to return, he hurriedly sent a message to their respective superiors that he would meet with the three of them at Quy Nhon Port in Champa to discuss the territorial struggle between the three parties.
The envoys of Cochin, Champa and Angkor naturally agreed, and hurriedly went to find their own lords.
Quang Nam and Quy Nhon are not far away, and they can be reached by sea in two or three days.
In the past few days, the ship has been safe and sound, and no adverse events have occurred.
During the time the ship was docked, the messenger of New Koshari behaved peacefully, and had no intention of disembarking for activities.
Quy Nhon is about to meet with the representatives of the three countries, and Qu Ping has no time to take care of the case of the disappearance of Prince Srivijaya anymore, as long as these people are still on the ship, it is okay to put the matter on hold for the time being.
The ship arrived at Quy Nhon port and boarded ashore.
Before Qu Ping got off the boat, he saw Li Yanghuan, the lord of Jiaozhi who was coming over from the shore, and Li Yanghuan was standing three meters away from the other two people, and the three forces were wary of each other.
Qu Ping had never seen those two, and it was estimated that they were from Champa and Angkor.
Li Yanghuan showed the face of an old acquaintance, greeted him and said: "Lord Xiangwang of Shangguo, you have come from afar, and you have lost your welcome, and you have lost your respect." ”
Qu Ping, Zhao Chengzhang and others got off the boat and greeted Li Yanghuan: "The lord of the country has been in high spirits and full of red light recently!" Ha ha! Let me introduce you, this is Jinghai Hou, Lord Zhao. ”
Li Yanghuan said in his heart that he was high-spirited, he was not forced by you, if you hadn't attacked Jiaozhi Shenglong by surprise, my dignified King Jiaozhi would not have to go to the Song Dynasty to make amends, nor would he have been forced to develop in the south. Well, now that the city has been attacked for a long time, it is difficult to destroy, and Angkor wants to get a piece of the pie, which is really a dilemma.
Li Yanghuan greeted Zhao Chengzhang and introduced the two people on his left and right: "The one on my left is the dragon elephant king of Angkor, and the one on the right is the king of Champang." ”
Qu Ping looked surprised and said, "It turned out to be the Dragon Elephant King and the King of Zhancheng, fortunately, I will be lucky!" ”
The King of the Dragon Elephant and the King of Champa chattered and translated, "The two of you are also deeply honored to have King Xiang here. ”
This dragon elephant king and the king of Champa don't know Chinese, so there are some obstacles to communication! But fortunately, Li Yanghuan has studied hard every day over the years, and his Chinese level has improved greatly.
Qu Ping muttered deliberately: "The language barrier is a big obstacle to communication!" After that, the merchant ships of the Great Song Dynasty came and went to various countries more frequently, if the communication was not good, wouldn't it hinder the development of trade between the two sides and become a stumbling block to the economic boom? ”
Li Yanghuan was secretly proud, but fortunately, the Jiaozhi people had all rolled out Chinese teaching.
After listening to the translation, the dragon elephant king and the king of Champa were nervous, listening to the meaning of the prince, who can communicate well in language, trade will naturally have an advantage.
The two of them hurriedly asked their subordinates to translate, said that they would fully implement Chinese teaching, and asked Shangguo to send scholars to the country for guidance.
Qu Ping was very happy to see that the two of them gave face and were self-motivated, and said that in the future, the treasure ships of the Great Song Dynasty would definitely strengthen exchanges with various countries.
The king of Champa thought to himself, if we want to promote Chinese culture, we must first ensure the existence of our Champa state! Thinking about it again, it's not right, if the city is destroyed by Jiaozhi or Angkor, they will also promote sinicization, then they will not be dispensable. No, you have to take the opportunity to show your heart to the Song Dynasty, and let the kingdom come forward to protect the city state.
The king of Champa said: "My lord, the Champa country has always had frequent contacts with the kingdom of God, and always respects the kingdom and the culture of the Celestial Empire. It happens that everyone is here today, and I ask the prince to represent the Heavenly Empire, uphold justice, and stabilize the external troubles for the Zhancheng country. Xiao Wang and the people of the whole country will be grateful to the Celestial Empire and will never forget the kindness of the kingdom! ”
