Chapter 80: The Poor Outcast
Before everyone could react, Huang Shen had been dragged out of the side seat by Nasu Ziji, and with a push from several samurai, the Korean envoy stumbled and fell in front of Hideho.
"What do you mean by that, Lady Hei?" Huang Shen covered his head and asked: "That samurai injured me first, you indiscriminately followed, my dignified Korean messenger, actually suffered such humiliation, is this your country's hospitality?" ”
"His Royal Highness, no matter what he says, he is also an envoy of peace, and besides, this time the fault is Izumo Mamoru, you make it difficult for the old man to do this." Maeda Toshiya sat on the main seat and frowned and said, there was no lack of pleading tone between the words, Hideho is no longer what it used to be, even though he is Hideyoshi's old subordinate, but compared with this young man who is in the middle of the day, it is already a little overshadowed.
"His Highness Maeda has misunderstood me." Hideho explained to the old minister, whom he had always respected, "I learned the ins and outs of the whole thing from Kuroda-sama's mouth below, and yes, it was wrong for Takyoshi to hunt and block the way of the mission, and Hideho was not favoritistic in this regard; But Lord Huang insulted Gao Ji at the mouth It is also impolite, Gao Ji is already short-tempered, how can he withstand such insults from outsiders, let alone a lowly minister from a despicable country. ”
"Lord Ping, you, how can you insult you like this." Huang Shen retorted in horror, "I'm a hall official of Zheng Sanpin, how can I suffer such a great humiliation, I knew that this was the case, and I shouldn't have entered Beijing with the mission." ”
"Oh, who asked you to come?" Xiubao deliberately sneered at the top of his voice: "If I remember correctly, Taige asked your country to send a prince to participate in the peace negotiations, I don't know who Lord Huang is, will Taige be willing to see you?" ”
"I can't say it if you want to see me," Huang Shen was already beating a drum in his heart at this time, Hideyoshi did ask Joseon to send a prince as a messenger, but the king was reluctant to let his son take this risk, so he forced himself to go east with the mission, after all, it was against Hideyoshi's original intention, and the result may be as Hideho said, but even so, he couldn't admit defeat in momentum: "Do you have Taiko, how do you know that he doesn't want to see me." ”
Hearing this, Xiubao couldn't stop laughing again, which frightened Huang Shen, and subconsciously moved in the direction of the main seat a few times, until he hit the coffee table.
"I'm not Taiko, but someone can represent him, come and invite Lord Yanagawa into the hall." After speaking, Xiubao clapped his hands, and a middle-aged man who was not good-looking was led into the main hall by the Ma Dian people.
"See His Highness Maeda." The man bowed deeply in the hall and said: "The villain is Yanagawa Tunao, a retainer of Zong Tsushimamori, and he has come to convey the disposition of the Korean envoy on the order of His Royal Highness Taiko. ”
"Disposition? What do you mean by that? Park Hongchang, who was sitting on the side seat, finally couldn't help it, and yelled at Yanagawa: "We were ordered to come to negotiate peace, and we didn't make a mistake, so why should we be 'disposed of'?" ”
"The villain is just acting on orders, please understand." Yanagawa turned sideways and explained to Park Hongchang.
"Then ask Lord Yanagawa to read out the Imperial Book of the Imperial Pavilion." Xiubao said lightly.
Liu Chuan stood up, pointed to his head and said: "There is no imperial book, it's just a message, Taige said, writing the imperial book for these people is just a waste of pen and ink." ”
"That's the case," Xiubao deliberately glanced at Huang Shen, who was sitting on the ground, and said loudly: "If that's the case, then please tell everyone about Taige's message." ”
"Yes," Liu Chuan nodded and bowed: "Taige said, I had told the king of Korea earlier that he wanted to send a prince to participate in the negotiations, but who knew that Li Hao (the king of Korea) not only turned a deaf ear, but instead sent a lowly minister to perfunctory him, which was unbearable, and ordered that a group of Korean envoys be immediately imprisoned, and then handed over to the Ming delegation to be taken out of Japan after the canonization was over." ”
"What? Imprisoned? Huang Shen was shocked, and asked in a broken voice: "How is it possible, how can Taige say that?" No, I bothered to say a few kind words in front of Taige, otherwise I would have waited for this time in vain. ”
"You're Lord Huang, aren't you?" Liu Chuan shook his head and comforted: "Taige said, it was you North Korea who did not believe in his words first, he was just 'courtesy', and he also asked the villain to warn the adults that no one is allowed to intercede for the Korean envoys, otherwise they will be punished as collaborating with the enemy." ”
"Lord Yang, you are the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, they will not give you face, you can help the lowly position." Huang Shen climbed up to Yang Fangheng, so anxious that tears were about to flow out, if he really couldn't see Hideyoshi, he would definitely be severely punished by the king after returning to China, and the rest of his life would be really ruined by then.
Yang Fangheng is also anxious in his heart, to be honest, Huang Shen and Park Hongchang are very respectful to themselves these days, as the envoys of the suzerain, if they can't pull a hand at the critical moment, won't they chill the hearts of the Korean monarchs and ministers? Thinking of this, Yang Fangheng opened his mouth and said, "Lord Huang, don't worry, allow..."
"Let me take you back to Korea when I come back from Fushimi, so please wait here now." Shen Weijing didn't want to think that these two envoys had offended Hideyoshi, so when he saw Yang Fangheng showing compassion, he immediately took over the handle and comforted him "full of sympathy".
"Lord Shen, you..." Yang Fangheng waited for Shen Weijing in surprise, there was no lack of anger and dissatisfaction in his eyes, but when he thought of relying on this profiteer next, he finally closed his mouth.
"Lord Shen, you can't do this to us." Huang Shen finally cried, and almost hugged Shen Weijing's feet and wailed, "Putting aside us and others to make peace with Japan alone, how can you be worthy of our Korean subjects in doing this." ”
"Alright, don't make a fuss." The Li family has long been impatient with this bitter drama, "Since the envoy does not object, then please ask Lord Huang to stay here temporarily, as for Fukushima Gaoji, His Royal Highness should not show favoritism." ”
"I must deal with it impartially, dinner is ready, I don't know if His Royal Highness appreciates his face." Hideho asked respectfully.
"It's okay, it's not early, in my opinion, let's go on the road tomorrow morning, you are waiting here for dinner, and I have a few words to say with the waiter." With that, the Li family got up and dragged Xiubao's clothes out of the main hall.
The two came to the garden, and when they saw that there was no one around, the Li family opened their mouths and reprimanded: "You kid is so bold that you dare to find someone to fake Taige's message, if you let Taige know, you have to let you go around without food." ”
"You don't really think that I specially found someone to deceive the mission in order to save Gao Ji, do you?" Xiubao looked at the Li family with some surprise, in his impression, with the wisdom of the Li family, it should not be difficult to see that this matter did not come from him, which shows that the years urge people to grow old, and time is a pig-killing knife.
"If it weren't for you, could it be that it was really sent by Taige?" The Li family is still skeptical.
"Isn't it, I also happened to meet Lord Yanagawa on the road, otherwise I would dare to be so rude to Huang Shen." Xiubao solemnly clarified.
"Since that's the case, then I'm relieved," the Li family finally breathed a sigh of relief, but they still couldn't rest assured, so they had to add a sentence: "Even if there is Taige's commandment, you shouldn't be so presumptuous, after all, there are other elders and daimyo present, you, young and vigorous, blood and strength, you must not be as aggressive as today in the future, everything must be left for people, rabbits are anxious and bite people, let alone people." ”
"Your Highness's lesson is that you must learn more from you in the future." How can Xiubao not know this set of "peacemaker" tricks, the original Xiuchang, and the current Li family are all well versed in this, but their own character is here, and they don't want to learn it in this life, but it's okay to be a little restrained.
"Okay, don't slap me on the back again," the Li family looked at Xiubao helplessly, presumably he also knew that this was just perfunctory, "Don't go back to Koriyama, come with me to Fushimi tomorrow, I just heard Lord Yang say that not only Taiko, but even our daimyo have also been given dresses, I have long heard that Mingguo's costumes are exquisite, and this time I finally have the opportunity to give it a try." ”
Hearing what the Li family said, Xiubao also had some expectations in his heart: What does his court dress look like? The dresses given by the emperor are all embroidered, similar to the official uniforms, different grades have different patterns, a bullfight, a flying fish, a python, a unicorn, a tiger, a biao, it stands to reason that it should be a flying fish suit from the second grade, and Hideyoshi is a bullfight? This is obviously unreasonable, in history, Hideyoshi was named the king of the county, how could he wear the clothes of a minister, so Hideyoshi may have been given a bullfighting costume.
Thinking of this, Hideho agreed to the Rishiya's request and stayed at Tawenyama Castle that night, and the next evening, the Toshiya finally led the delegation to Fushimi Castle.
