Yuan Xi snorted: "Losing the prestige of the imperial court? How do I not think? ”

"Mr. Fu, let me tell you clearly, I don't like these foreign envoys. In the future, don't let me know about the overseas envoys, and don't persuade me, if you provoke me, I will slaughter them! ”

"You go and tell the envoy of Yamato to get out of here before I get angry."

"Yes..." Fu Zhi found that Yuan Xi was really angry, and he didn't dare to hit the muzzle of the gun again. He reluctantly withdrew from the study, took the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and went to find the envoys of the Yamato Kingdom.

"Mr. Fu, why do you say that the lord is unwilling to receive the envoys of the Yamato Kingdom? Is there a reason? Cui Yan went to the envoy's inn with Fu Zhu and asked halfway through.

"I really don't know."

"What then? Did you really blow the envoys away? ”

"Ugh...." Frustrated Professor stopped and sighed, "Let's do it when the opportunity arises." If it really doesn't work, arrange for the envoys to go somewhere else, and we will receive them. ”

"Is that good?"

Cui Yan is very aware of Yuan Xi's temper, and since he is unwilling to receive it, there must be a reason for not receiving it. If the Ministry of Rites first cuts and then plays and receives the envoys, the consequences will be very serious.

Arrived at an inn.

This inn is called 'Yecheng No. 1 Restaurant' and is the property of the Zhen family.

"The soldiers report that the envoys of the Yamato Kingdom live here. ”

"Let's go."

The two entered the restaurant.

Zhen Yan greeted him and said, "Two gentlemen, are you here to see the envoy?" ”

"Where does he live?" Cui Yan asked.

"It's up there. I'll show you the way. Zhen Yan led Fu Zhu and Cui Yan upstairs and went straight to the envoy's house.

.........

The envoys of the Yamato Kingdom were very polite, and when they saw Fu Zhu and Cui Yan, they almost knelt down.

Such a scene moved Fu Zhu and Cui Yan very much.

It shows that Yamato has great respect for the Central Plains court.

"Honorable two adults, when can I meet His Majesty the Son of Heaven?" The envoy asked reasonably.

"You want to see the Son of Heaven? The Son of Heaven? Frustrated, his face sank a little.

"yes."

The envoy really didn't seem to know much about the situation.

I thought that the Central Plains Imperial Court was still respected by the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty.

Cui Yan glanced at him, stepped forward and said, "The Son of Heaven is not in Yecheng, but in Xuchang, Yanzhou, thousands of miles away. ”

The envoy said, "But... The adults of the Shandong Peninsula sent Zai Xia here. ”

"Maybe it's a misunderstanding." Cui Yan said: "I will immediately send someone to send you to Xuchang to meet the Son of Heaven, what do you think?" ”

"Yes, thank you, sir." The envoy did it again.

............

And just like that, the envoys of the Yamato Kingdom were sent away.

"Ji Jue, why did you send someone to send him to Cao Cao? Didn't this help Cao Cao? On the way back to the Ministry of Officials, Fu Zhu thought about it and felt that Cui Yan had handled it inappropriately.

"Do you know where Yamato is located?" Cui Yan asked with a smile.

"I don't know. The sailors of the Shandong Peninsula said... It is an archipelago that is found far to the east. It's about thousands of miles. What does this do, you ask? Frustrated and confused, Cui Yan's words were meaningful.

"Hehe..."

Cui Yan said with a smile: "I feel more and more now that the lord did the right thing. Such a distant country is poor and backward, and it is not easy to cross the ocean and go back and forth. Even if they surrender to us, it won't do much. It's better to let Cao Cao be upset. ”

"Hmm."

I got it.

Sending the Yamato envoys to Xuchang would not only disturb Cao Cao's mind, but also provoke contradictions between Cao Cao's faction and the ministers who were interested in the Han family. Maybe the envoys of the Yamato Kingdom will become a fuse.

"Wen Chou." In the state capital, Yuan Xi lay in the study and slept for a while, and suddenly stood up.

"My lord."

Wen Chou walked in.

Yuan Xi instructed: "Send someone to spread Gan Ning, I will see him immediately." This order is not to be known to anyone, not even Mr. Fu. Let Gan Ning come back quietly. ”

"No."

Wen Chou turned and left.

A few days later.

Gan Ning returned to Yecheng and met with Yuan Xi in the state capital.

For Gan Ning, it is the first time he has been recruited back to the capital, which is of great significance, he not only has to come back alone, but also quickly, in order to show his loyalty and attention to Yuan Xi.

But after arriving at the state capital, Yuan Xi didn't get down to business for a long time, took him around and had a few big meals.

"Lord, what is the matter with your coming back? The last general is still waiting to go back and train new soldiers. Gan Ning finally couldn't help but say.

"Recruit you back, there is indeed one thing that you can only do. But... I recently thought about it again, and I felt that it was inappropriate, so I hesitated. Yuan Xi said.

"What's the matter? Don't you trust the general? ”

"No, no... I have absolute trust in you. Yuan Xi took Gan Ning to the study and laid out a brand-new map. The map not only depicts the thirteen states of the world, but also Jeju Island, the Shandong Peninsula, and the easternmost seas.

"Is this...?"

Gan Ning picked up the map, looked at it over and over again, and finally said: "The lord wants to tell the last general, in addition to the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, there are also the sea areas to the east?" Is it also the place where the last will be regulated? ”

"You're only half right." Yuan Xi was not ready to hide it, pulled Gan Ning to the side and sat down, and said, "I want you to mobilize Liyang's naval army and go overseas to destroy the Yamato Kingdom." ”

"Yamato?"

Gan Ning stood up suddenly.

"What? Have you heard of this country? Yuan Xi was inadvertently taken aback.

"On the way to Yecheng, the last general met a team of people, and after inquiring, he learned that it was the envoys of the Yamato Kingdom who were escorted by the Ministry of Officials to Xuchang to worship the Son of Han." Gan Ning said suspiciously: "Why did the lord want to destroy the Yamato Kingdom? As far as the last general knows, their country is far, far away, and we may not be able to find it. ”

"yes..."

Yuan Xi was also worried about this problem: "Don't be busy for a long time, you can't even find where the Yamato Kingdom is, how can you eliminate them." Seemingly... Our water army still needs to be strengthened. ”

"Lord, you haven't said yet... Why destroy the Yamato Kingdom? Gan Ning asked cautiously. In fact, it was Cui Yan who asked him to understand the origin of the matter from the side. Not only Gan Ning, Cui Yan, Fu Xu, and all the ministers were puzzled by Yuan Xi's attitude towards the envoys of the Yamato Kingdom.

"You really want to know?"

"Hmm."

Yuan Xi smiled, picked up the tea bottle, sat down slowly and said: "Some time ago, I had a dream that shocked me into a cold sweat. This dream is related to the country of Yamato.... ”

"Their army landed in Korea, then occupied Korea and Beiping, and went all the way south, first capturing Youzhou, then Jizhou, and crossing the Yellow River to Xuzhou. Our people have been burned, killed, plundered, raped, humiliated, plundered.... ”

"If it weren't for us standing up and resisting, strong and unyielding, maybe this world would have become a Yamato country."

After Yuan Xi finished speaking, Gan Ning was stupid.

But he was clever, and after coming back to his senses, he didn't fully believe it.
