After the two Korean princes successfully returned to Wangjing, Shen Weijing, who was in Busan, immediately sent someone to write to Shangshu Shixing of the Ministry of War, asking the representatives of the Japanese state to go to Beijing to discuss peace matters with the Ming Dynasty.

Shi Xing immediately made the matter clear.

Mingshenzong agreed to negotiate peace with the envoys of the Wa Kingdom to enter Beijing to negotiate peace.

After Shen Weijing learned that the imperial court had agreed to negotiate with the envoys of the Japanese state to enter Beijing for negotiations, he immediately set off for Beijing with Naito Ruan, a retainer of the peace envoy Konishi Yukicho sent by the Japanese side.

Traveling with Shen Weijing and Naito Ruan is Michiko Kato, and the only purpose of her trip is still to monitor Shen Weijing.

Just as Shen Weijing and Naito Ruan were on their way to Beijing, a secret message sent by Jinyiwei in Korea had reached Luo Shiyin, the commander of Jinyiwei.

After reading the secret report, Luo Shiyin immediately rushed to the palace and reported to Mingshenzong.

In the Qianqing Palace, Mingshenzong summoned Luo Shiyin.

"Luo Qing, I don't know what to do when I see the widow?"

"Qiqi Sheng, the minister has just received a secret report from the Jinyi guard stationed in the court, and the two princes were attacked by assassins on the way to the court by the Japanese and almost died. By all indications, it is highly likely that these unknown assassins were Japanese nationals. ”

"Oh, there are such things. From this point of view, this barbarian country is not monolithic, which should be good news for me Daming. ”

"Yes, Holy Wise."

"What's the good news?"

"For Naito Ruan, the peace envoy who came to negotiate peace this time, I have made a detailed understanding of his identity, personality, and preferences."

"Speak."

"Naito Ruan, alias Konishi Fei, ancestral home of Yagi Castle in the Gyeonggi region of the Japanese Kingdom, followed the commander-in-chief of the First Army of the Japanese invasion of Korea in his early years, Konishi Yukinaga, and became a retainer of Konishi Yukinaga. The reason why he was able to become a peace envoy was entirely due to the strong recommendation of Governor Konishi. This person is clever and well-behaved, clever and eloquent, and good at observing words and feelings. ”

"Does he have any weaknesses?"

"Yes This man is a pleasure-seeker."

"Good. In this case, let's do what he likes, and when he arrives in the capital, let him have a good taste of the prosperity of my daimyo, and let him enjoy the food and beauty of the capital. As for peace, don't be in a hurry, take your time. ”

"Yes. Chancellor understood. ”

"If nothing else, step aside."

"Yes. The minister retired. ”

After Luo Shiyin retreated, Mingshenzong casually picked up an antique on the table and played with it, and said in his mouth: "I am happy here, and I don't think about it." It seems that in view of the upcoming peace envoy of the Japanese state, he has made up his mind to use the beauty and prosperity of Beijing to make the other party happy, and then play a role in delaying time.

Shen Weijing and Naito Ruan could have set off from Busan and went straight to Daming by water. But Shen Weijing did not take the waterway directly, he and Naito Ruan first arrived in Wangjing, stayed in Wangjing for a few days, and then went all the way north, by waterway to Daming.

The reason why Shen Weijing made such an arrangement was completely out of his own selfishness. The two princes were successfully released, and Shen Weijing thought that it was completely the result of his own efforts. He wants to take this opportunity to make the North Korean side bleed. In his heart, he is a gentleman who has no merit and is a gentleman; If you have merit or not, you are a fool.

The North Korean side did not dare to slack off in the face of this Ming peace envoy, from the king of North Korea to the leader of the parliament, Liu Chenglong, and the left councillor, Li Shanhai, all of whom were grateful to Shen Weijing.

In the face of the gold and silver treasures sent by the relevant personnel of the North Korean side to thank him, Shen Weijing smiled and accepted them all. When he left Wang Jingcheng, Shen Weijing could be said to have made a lot of money.

Of course, on this trip to Wang Jing, what made Shen Weijing most satisfied was not how much treasure he had gained, but that he finally got his wish and sent it to Li Shanhai.

Although Michiko Kato followed Shen Weijing with him, under the ingenious arrangement of Li Shanhai and Shen Weijing, Shen Weijing still successfully got rid of Michiko Kato's surveillance and ate the little palace maid. Throughout the night, Shen Weijing's male erection made the little palace maid so delicate that she was drenched in sweat.

When he left Wang Jingcheng, Shen Weijing was very grateful to Li Shanhai.

Two months later, Shen Weijing, Ruan Naito, and Michiko Kato arrived at Shanhaiguan.

The guerrilla general Ma Gui, the head of the Shanhaiguan garrison, did not dare to slack off and was in the guerrillas

In the pavilion of the General's Mansion, a banquet was held to entertain Shen Weijing, Naito Ruan and Kato Michiko. The other people accompanying him were arranged by Ma Gui to sit at the wine table not far from the pavilion.

"Lord Shen traveled thousands of miles, went to foreign countries, shouldered discussions and heavy responsibilities, hard, hard. Come, the last general will toast you and two other friends three glasses. As soon as he sat down, Ma Gui raised his glass and toasted Shen Weijing, Naito Ruan and Michiko Kato.

Shen Weijing said a few polite words and toasted three times in a row.

Naito Ruan had never seen such a sumptuous meal and wine, and after three glasses of wine in a row, without waiting for the host to speak, he picked up the chopsticks, gulped down the sea and stuffed it, and while eating, he was amazed by the food on the table.

"This benevolent brother is really not polite...... Well, I like it. Ma Gui looked at Naito Ruan's ugly eating appearance, and couldn't cry or laugh.

Shen Weijing bullied Naito Ru'an for not understanding the Ming language, he fell in Ma Gui's ear, with a wicked smile on his face, and said in a low voice: "He, a small people from a partial state, has never seen the world, hehehe." ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Ma Gui deliberately glanced at Naito Ruan, who only cared about bowing his head and eating, and laughed evilly with Shen Weijing.

Michiko Kato naturally understood Shen Weijing's derogatory words about Naito Ruan, and she glared at Naito Ruan, who was sitting opposite her, hoping to stop his indecent appearance.

Naito Ruan still didn't care about it, bowing his head and eating in the sea.

Michiko Kato was helpless, so she had to bow her head and remain silent, complaining in her heart: "Why did Lord Guan Bai send such an idiot to serve as an envoy for peace?" What a disgrace to the Yamato nation! ”

The moonlight is in the sky, and the breeze is caressing.

Shen Weijing put down a few glasses of wine, and suddenly felt refreshed, he patted the shoulder of Ma Gui, who was sitting beside him, and said loudly: "Master Ma, I didn't expect that in this remote Shanhaiguan, your guerrilla general's mansion would be so luxurious, I'm afraid that the mansion of the prince and minister in the capital is not as good as you." ”

"Hey, hey, hey. Lord Shen is serious, I think my Ma Gui is just a border general, and the area under his jurisdiction is only the size of a sesame seed, let alone Yulu, how can I have spare money to build a luxury mansion façade. Ma Gui laughed a few times and said humbly.

"Isn't your place good enough? You see, the building is carved and painted, and there is no shortage of rockeries, fish ponds, verandahs, and pavilions in the courtyard. Let's take the gazebo where we are sitting for example, without a few thousand taels of silver, we can't build such a beautiful gazebo. Hahaha. ”

"Lord Shen, come on, let's drink, don't talk about this." Ma Gui seemed to smell some kind of ominous aura from Shen Weijing's words, and quickly changed the topic.

"Good, good. Let's drink together. Shen Weijing raised his glass, looked around, and motioned for Naito Ruan and Michiko Kato, who were present, to toast together.

"Drink. Wine! Naito Ruan drank the wine and praised it in his mouth.

Michiko Kato just took a symbolic sip of wine, then put down her glass and didn't say anything.

"Master Ma, although you and I are both guerrilla generals, I, a guerrilla general, am an empty position, and I can't compare with you." Shen Weijing squinted his eyes, as if he was talking to himself.

"Lord Shen, don't say that. You are now a celebrity in the court, and whoever sees you has to respect three points. Lord Shen can be said to have a bright future! In the future, I will rely on your big tree to soar. ”

"Well said, well said. As long as I, Shen Weijing, can make achievements in the future, I naturally can't forget your brother. ”

"Ouch, then I'll thank Lord Shen first. Come, I'll toast you again! Ma Gui raised his wine glass and looked groveling.

"......" Shen Weijing looked at Ma Gui who raised his glass meaningfully, and was silent.

“…… Oh, understood, understood. Ma Gui hesitated, and immediately understood the meaning in Shen Weijing's eyes.

This guerrilla general's mansion was built by Ma Gui with the military salary withheld. Shen Weijing's phone call made Ma Gui very worried. Thinking that although Shen Weijing's official position is not high, after all, he is a person from above, if he returns to Beijing, he will say a few words that are unfavorable to him in front of a high-ranking official, and the consequences will be unimaginable.

The so-called thief has a weak heart, looking at Shen Weijing's eyes, Ma Gui put down his wine glass, and said with hatred in his heart: "It seems that my foreboding is right." If you don't have some blood, you can't pass Shen Weijing's level. This old fellow, the goose has plucked its feathers! ”

"Lord Shen, don't worry, I have prepared five thousand taels of silver for your lordship, and later, I will find an opportunity to deliver the silver ticket to your room." Ma Gui put his face to Shen Weijing's ear and whispered.

"Master Ma, you are too polite.

Hahaha, come, drink. At this time, Shen Weijing raised his glass and toasted to Ma Gui.

"Pay attention to your image, okay?" While Shen Weijing and Ma Gui were chatting privately, Michiko Kato whispered in a tone of implicit anger to remind Naito Ruan, who only cared about eating from the sea with his head down.

Along the way, Michiko Kato had a very unpleasant look at Naito Ruan, a young man who served as the peace envoy of the Yamato nation. She really couldn't figure it out, how could Lord Guan Bai, who has always been decisive in killing and knowing people well, assign such a wrecked person as Naito Ruan to take on the task of peace this time?

But angry is angry, Michiko Kato's mission on this trip is to supervise Shen Weijing, as for Naito Ruan, she has no right to interfere with his actions.

"Uh-huh, okay. Hey. Hearing Michiko Kato's reminder, Ruan Naito put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and sent Michiko Kato a reluctant smirk.

Michiko Kato looked at Naito Ruan's stupid face, and suddenly became extremely bored, she picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and twisted her head to the side.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Shen Weijing felt a little bored. At the wine table, only he and Ma Gui chatted. Michiko Kato didn't seem to be in a good mood and barely said a word throughout the feast. Naito's interest is only in the table full of food, and he rarely speaks.

Ma Gui naturally saw that Shen Weijing was a little depressed, and in order to liven up the atmosphere, he opened his mouth and said to Shen Weijing: "Lord Shen, you see...... Do you want someone to sing a little song and have fun? ”

To be honest, since he set off from Wang Jing, along the way, Shen Weijing has faced either mountains and valleys or rapids and rapids every day. The only thing that can bring him a little fun is the ** joy with Michiko Kato, and other than that, there is no fun at all.

For Shen Weijing, a prodigal who is used to eating, drinking, and having fun in Beijing, the boring itinerary often makes him unbearable, so when Shen Weijing heard Ma Gui say that he was looking for someone to sing, he suddenly became interested, and he said: "I don't know what Master Ma is good at here?" ”

"How's Kunqu Opera?"

"Okay. Do you have such an artist in your house? ”

"Coincidentally, there are really two of them."

"Where did you get that?"

"A few days ago, my wife rescued two young women in front of the house. At that time, the two young women fainted in front of the house gate with hunger, and my wife was so kind that she ordered them to be carried into the house for treatment.

When they woke up and asked, they learned that they were sisters, and they had come from the southern border to seek refuge with relatives and friends. As a result, when I came here, my relatives and friends didn't find it, and the coils on my body were spent. My wife saw that they were pitiful, so she left them to do some chores in the house.

Unexpectedly, these two sisters turned out to be two Kunqu opera artists. In their spare time, the two of them will give us two a period of time. Hey, the two of them played thieves well. I'll let them come up and give you and these two Japanese friends a few lessons. ”

"Go, go! I can't wait. ”

"Xiaowei, go, tell Jia Jing and Jia Yun that I have distinguished guests tonight, let them come over and perform a few parts for the guests." Shen Weijing ordered to the maid behind him.

"Yes, sir."

After the maid left, Shen Weijing saw that Naito Ruan had already eaten until he was full of burps, so he teased him: "Little brother, how does our daimyo's food taste?" ”

"Well, it's delicious, it's delicious. I've never had such delicious food. Naito Ruan held out his thumb and was full of praise.

"What is this, when you arrive in Beijing City, I will invite you to eat the full banquet of the Han Dynasty. That's the real food. When the time comes, burst your belly. ”

"Really? Dude. Then I'll give you a glass first. When you get to Beijing, you can take me to have a good time. Naito Ruan excitedly picked up his wine glass and toasted Shen Wei.

"Alright, let's stop drinking. Later, there will be a good show. Shen Weijing's mind was all about the upcoming Kunqu Opera at this time, and he had lost interest in wine and food.

"Good show, what good show?" Ruan Naito asked.

"This ......" Shen Weijing couldn't remember how to translate the word "Kunqu Opera" to Naito Ruan for a while, so he said casually: "It's a kind of drama, just like your Japanese classical drama genre." ”

"Oh, I see, it's like a rap show like a Noh in our country, isn't it?"

"That's what it means." Shen Weijing looked at Naito Ru'an, who had a serious face, a little impatient.
