Chapter 884: Knocking (Page 1/1)

Mao Jingwen was condescending, looking coldly at Fujiwara Taidao and his daughter who came slowly. The hall was so quiet that the needles could be heard, except for the sound of everyone's breathing, only the sound of light footsteps.

The journey of dozens of steps made Fujiwara Taijima feel a lot of pressure, and he finally stopped at the bottom of the steps, lowered his head and bowed to Mao Jingwen.

Mao Jingwen, under the instruction of Hong Chengchou, asked Fujiwara Taidao in a cold voice: "You are the envoy of the island country, Prince Fujiwara Taijima, right?" ”

Instead of letting Fujiwara Taijima get up, he asked him to answer while still kneeling on the ground. This made the last glimmer of hope in Fujiwara Taijima's heart have been dashed.

Fujiwara Taidao knows very well that Mao Jingwen's performance is good whether it is to give him a dismount or to show the majesty of the country. In fact, it is all implying that he Mao Jingwen doesn't care about the envoy of the island country at all.

The heart was full of bitterness, but Fujiwara Taidao didn't dare to have the slightest ink, and immediately gave his hand back: "Fujiwara Taidao and his beloved daughter were entrusted by my king to come to meet my emperor." I hope to re-establish diplomatic relations with the Ming Dynasty, and hope that the emperor will give permission! ”

Since there was no hope, Fujiwara Taijima simply broke the jar and said it bluntly. Anyway, the worst outcome is to return disappointed, and there is no worse consequence.

Mao Jingwen secretly sneered in his heart when he heard this, he glanced at Hong Chengchou, who nodded slightly. Mao Jingwen no longer had any worries, and according to what was discussed last night, he said: "The establishment of diplomatic relations is a good thing, and of course I will be gracious." ”

Fujiwara Taidao was suddenly startled, looked up at Mao Jingwen, and forgot to close his mouth open. When Fujiwara Taidao was excited, Mao Jingwen immediately said: "Of course, there is no problem in establishing diplomatic relations, but I have some conditions. If Prince Fujiwara can agree, then this matter will be easy to say. ”

"I don't know what the emperor's conditions are?" Fujiwara Taijima suddenly became vigilant.

"The conditions are very simple, I only need you to clean up all the pirates entrenched in my Daming Sea. After that, we will hand over 100 million taels of silver, and we can begin to discuss the establishment of diplomatic relations. Mao Jingwen said lightly.

Fujiwara Taidao was stupid on the spot, not to mention 100 million taels of silver, just cleaning up the Ming Dynasty's entrenched pirates is not something they can do. This also means that Mao Jingwen's request is basically a refusal to establish diplomatic relations.

After being silent for a long time, Fujiwara Taijima hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know if this condition is negotiable......

Mao Jingwen shook his head without hesitation: "There is no point of discussion, Prince Fujiwara can go back and think about it first." There is no need to rush to reply, I am not in a hurry, and you do not need to be in a hurry. ”

Fujiwara Taijima agreed when he heard this, and then according to etiquette, he presented the congratulatory gifts one by one. And Mao Jingwen was not polite at all, and accepted all the orders, but the return gift was very shabby, meaning that he sent Fujiwara Taidao away with some gold.

After the next dynasty, in the imperial study, Mao Jingwen asked Hong Chengchou as if inviting merit: "How did I perform this time, did I not disappoint the teacher?" ”

Hong Chengchou touched the goatee on his chin, glanced at Mao Jingwen, and saw that he was cute, and it was inconvenient to lecture him again. He hesitated for a moment before he said: "The emperor's performance this morning is remarkable, and there is indeed nothing to criticize. But the people of this island country have always been cunning, and the emperor must not be careless in his contact with them in the future. ”

only got a little praise, but later got an instruction, proving that Hong Chengchou still couldn't let go. The little emperor was a little disappointed in his heart, but he still respectfully saluted Hong Chengchou and kept it in mind.

Hong Chengchou, the old fox, naturally understood the little emperor's thoughts, he chuckled twice, and then left. Mao Wenlong can't see anyone this morning, presumably this should be enough with the two wives. Hong Chengchou needs to go to him to discuss, and there are still many things in Daming that need Mao Wenlong's nod and approval.

Fujiwara Taijima's face was blue-gray, and what happened this morning made him discouraged. After returning to the post house, he was even more absent-minded.

Fujiwara Kyoguchi really couldn't stand it, and she had been sulking in her heart since the early dynasty. Emperor Ming's words made her feel deeply ashamed, and when she saw her father so depressed, she couldn't help but persuade: "Father, the Emperor Ming made it clear that he wouldn't give us a chance, or we would just go back." ”

Fujiwara Taijima turned around and glanced at his daughter, and sighed lightly: "Go back, don't ......"

"Why not? Could it be that my father really wants to compromise with the Ming Emperor? Fujiwara Kyoguchi exclaimed.

"Compromise is inevitable, but not all the conditions of the Ming Emperor we have to agree. At least we have to fight for the conditions to be within our red line, otherwise my father will not be able to explain when he returns. Fujiwara Taijima's heart is full of bitterness.

"And what does Father plan to do now?" Fujiwara Kyoguchi asked with a frown.

"Emperor Daming is just a child, he naturally has no right to decide such a major matter. I think there are other decision-makers behind him, if my father is not mistaken, the real decision-maker should be Mao Wenlong himself. ”

"Father is going to talk to Mao Wenlong......" Fujiwara Kyoguchi was quite surprised!

"It is definitely not feasible to find Mao Wenlong directly, we have to start with the officials below first. We must buy more people's hearts, and if someone in the DPRK speaks for us, we will go to Mao Wenlong to consult, and we will inevitably be able to get twice the result with half the effort. Fujiwara Taijima sneered.

"The father is reasonable, the daughter is willing to share the worries of the father, what can I help, please ask the father to command!" Fujiwara Kyoguchi said.

"Yes, and you are still the key, my father needs you to deal with Mao Wenlong's two wives and his daughter. Your task is to mingle with them and gain their trust. In this way, they blow the wind in Mao Wenlong's ears, which is better than a thousand words from us. ”

"The daughter understands, please rest assured that the daughter will not disappoint the father." At this moment, Fujiwara Kyoguchi does not have the usual innocence, and there is only a lot of ruthlessness and shrewdness.

Fujiwara Taijima nodded with satisfaction: "Go down and prepare, this matter should be done sooner rather than later, and it is appropriate to do it as soon as possible." ”

Fujiwara Kyoguchi said yes and resigned. Watching his daughter leave, Fujiwara Taijima suddenly rekindled hope in his heart.

It's a pity that people are not as good as heaven, and Mao Wenlong's envoy to the island country is like a thief. When Fujiwara Kyoguchi brought the novelty he brought from the island country and wanted to present it to Chen Lan and them, he was told. Things can be forwarded on her behalf, but she herself is not allowed to enter the imperial city without Mao Wenlong's permission.

Fujiwara Kyoguchi did not give up like this, and there must be other ways to do it if this road does not work. She immediately returned to the inn to consult with her father, and decided to start with the other officials.
