Chapter 226: Murder with a knife

Abe Zhongmalu sighed with emotion: "The Tang Dynasty is full of outstanding Chinese people, and it is not surprising that such a talented person appears, but I am afraid that after these masterpieces are circulated, Zhen Qian's reputation will be well-known at home, and it is also a pleasure to meet this person and talk about wine!" ”

A trace of excitement flashed on Fujiwara's face: "This person has arrived in Yangzhou!" ”

The three of them immediately looked at Fujiwara Shuo: "What did you say?" ”

"Zhen Qian has gone to Yangzhou with me, and under my persuasion, he is ready to return to China with the Tang envoy!"

Fujiwara Qinghe did not have the slightest joy on his face, but became solemn, knowing that Fujiwara Shuxiong's words were not lies, but he also knew that this matter was probably not simple: "You tell me in detail about this trip to Luquan County, although the talented scholars of the Tang Dynasty are friendly with us, they are afraid of the difficult road and have never agreed to go to the Japanese country, I am afraid that there is another hidden secret?" ”

"What the envoy said is good", Fujiwara Shuxiong told the story of his trip to Luquan County, and several people shook their heads secretly after listening to Fujiwara Shuxiong's story, and the matter was really twists and turns.

"In this way, Zhen Qian is not voluntary, I think An Lushan will not let Zhen Qian go easily, the reason why Zhen Qian came to Yangzhou with you this time is ...... to avoid trouble."

Fujiwara Shuxiong nodded and said: "What the deputy envoy said is right, I invited Zhen Qian to go to the Japanese country at the beginning, but Zhen Qian refused, but since An Lushan appeared, Zhen Qian was shaken, and only reluctantly agreed to return to China with us under my many persuasions, but Zhen Qian's identity is different, I am afraid that it is not easy to officially join the Tang envoy to return to China, and this matter still needs to be helped by maritime merchants?" ”

Although Abe Zhongmalu was a Japanese person, he was valued by Tang Xuanzong and was awarded the opportunity to send Tang envoys, which was regarded as a Tang Dynasty official who sent Tang envoys back to the Japanese state, and had some power in his hands, but Zhen Qian's status was different, and he could not hire Zhen Qian as his subordinate official to return to the Japanese state together.

"I didn't expect Zhen Qian to still be an official, this is a bit difficult?"

"Isn't it possible to use the identity of a maritime merchant to cover up?"

After all, Abe Zhongmalu has lived in Datang for more than 30 years, and he knows Datang's system well, and sighed: "It's not impossible to use maritime cover, but it's just a little wronged Zhen Qian!" ”

"...... wronged Zhen Qian?"

Fujiwara Kiyokawa raised his head and looked at Abe Nakamaro and said, "Abe! Do you have any other way? ”

Abe Zhongmalu shook his head, if it wasn't for the Tang envoy who refused Li Longji to send a Taoist priest to the Wa Kingdom this time, he could still promote Zhen Qian as the deputy envoy to send Tang Ying in front of Li Longji, it was precisely because he knew Li Longji that Abe Zhongmalu knew that this idea was not feasible at all.

Seeing that the three of them were silent, Fujiwara Shuxiong smiled faintly: "Actually, this matter is beneficial to the Japanese State, if Zhen Qian is really awarded the deputy envoy to send Tang Ying, it will make us unable to leave Zhen Qian ......."

"How do you say that?"

The three of them looked at Fujiwara Shuxiong in confusion, and a grim smile flashed on the latter's face: "Don't the three of you think Zhen Qian is a genius?" ”

The three of them all nodded, just now I heard Fujiwara Shuxiong say, Zhen Qian is not only outstanding in literature, but also sophisticated in business methods, although he has not yet officially become an official, but it can be seen that his administrative ability is not weak, and he is indeed a rare talent.

Fujiwara Shuxiong took a moment to say: "Have the three of you ever thought about leaving Zhen Qian in the Wa Kingdom forever?" ”

The eyes of the three of them lit up, but then they dimmed again, this is simply impossible, Zhen Qian's arrival in the country of the Japanese is better to avoid trouble, and after a year or two, he will naturally return to China, and he will always stay in the country of the country.

"It's man-made! Just now I said that Zhen Gan went to the Japanese Kingdom all because of An Lushan, if Zhen Qian has a reputation for treason, do you think Zhen Qian still has any hope of returning to China? ”

The three of them gasped, looking at Fujiwara as if they didn't know each other, this trick was too ruthless, at least these three people couldn't think of it anyway.

"The Wa State is not as good as the Tang Dynasty, the reason is that there are no talents from the Tang Dynasty, so many Tang talents have gone to the Wa Kingdom, no matter how many Tang envoys we send, we can't really understand how to make a country strong like the Tang people, it is better to invite a few Tang talents to go to the Wa Kingdom, as long as they can use what they have learned in the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom will definitely be able to catch up with the Tang Dynasty in a few decades, isn't this the best way?"

Fujiwara Kiyokawa and Kibi Shinbei glanced at each other, and just as they were about to speak, Abe Nakamaro shouted: "Nonsense! Datang talents have always been Datang talents, we came to Datang to learn culture, law, ......, precisely because we saw the strength of Datang, but your despicable approach is despicable, and we will not mention it again in the future! ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong was about to argue, Fujiwara Qinghe glared at him and said: "Abe is right, even if Zhen Qian follows us back to China this time, no matter what the reason, he is a distinguished guest of the Japanese Kingdom, you should not think about this kind of thinking as soon as possible, go down!" ”

Fujiwara Brush Male wanted to continue arguing, but suddenly saw a vague gaze from Fujiwara Qinghe, and was shocked, and immediately nodded yes, and slowly retreated.

After leaving, Fujiwara Shuxiong did not have the slightest frustration on his face, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's really stupid, I have been in the Tang Dynasty for more than 30 years, and I have forgotten all the Japanese countries, and this kind of person returning to China is also an obstacle for the Fujiwara family, so it is better to get rid of it as soon as possible!" ”

Just after the time of tea, a door "creaked" open, and Fujiwara Shuo reappeared in the previous room, but at this time there were only two people in the room, and Abe Nakamaro was gone.

"Sit! Repeat what you just thought, you should have a feasible plan in mind? ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong's eyes turned, and when he saw Kibi Zhenbei and Fujiwara Qinghe staring at him, his heart trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but boil his blood: "I didn't have such an idea before, but this time I happened to go to Luquan County, and found that there was a great opportunity in it. Do you think they will die to help the Japanese country! ”

"You're right!"

A trace of ecstasy flashed in Kibi Zhenbei's eyes, this was like a layer of window paper that was broken by Fujiwara Shuxiong, he used to do everything possible to make friends with the Tang people, didn't he just hope that these people could help the Wa Kingdom, if there was any way to get these people to the Wa Kingdom, he didn't mind using any indiscriminate means.

However, the Tang people are arrogant in their bones, and it is useless to kidnap talented people to the Wa Kingdom, and it is this that dispelled the idea of Kibi Zhenbei kidnapping the Tang people.

Fujiwara Brusho's words gave Kibi Shinbei hope, since the kidnapping is not good, then it would be completely different if they were forced to "voluntarily" go to the Japanese country. As long as the talents of the Tang Dynasty die and return to China, they can naturally be used by the Japanese State, but the strength of the Japanese State is just around the corner.

PS: Kibi Shinbei was a scholar and politician in the Nara period, who served twice as an envoy to the Tang Dynasty and was the second right minister of the official Zhizheng.

Fujiwara Kiyokawa is the fourth son of Fujiwara Bomae, the ancestor of the Fujiwara North family, and his mother is a half-sister of the Bomae Katano courtier. This time to Datang became his last time, and when Jianzhen was about to return to the Wa Kingdom, he encountered wind and waves on the way, and returned to Datang again after several twists and turns, so in the next nearly 20 years, Qinghe, who had been hopeless in his hometown, got married in Datang and gave birth to a daughter named Xi Niang.
