Chapter 336: Jinla and Goryeo Tribute
What do you mean that I will be relieved that I will be relieved that you will be there in the court in the future?
Wu Dalang's words seemed to be like the last words of the two Shangshu in their understanding.
But Wu Dalang obviously looks young and strong, and if Wu Dalang dies, it is estimated that he will have to wait for a long time.
Could it be that Wu Dalang is going to resign??
Thinking of this, the two Shangshu's hearts were shocked, Wu Dalang was going to resign, then they would definitely be pressed to the ground by Cai Jing and them.
Chen Guoting immediately spoke: "Master Wu, don't think about it, if you feel tired, just rest more, we just need to do a little more effort, you can't do such a thing as resigning." ”
Resigned??
What the heck??
Wu Dalang paused for a moment, and then remembered that what he had just said had misunderstood them.
Wu Dalang said with a smile: "Haha, it is impossible to resign, I haven't sat in Cai Jing's position yet, how can I resign." ”
Chen Guoting and Liu Zhengfu were both relieved, and they also felt a burst of excitement when they heard that Wu Dalang was still going to sit in Cai Jing's position and pull Cai Jing down.
The boss is the boss, others dare not say it, dare not do it, but their boss dares to do it.
But Chen Guoting still asked suspiciously: "That Lord Wu just said..."
Wu Dalang waved his hand: "I'll talk about the next things later, you just need to do what is in front of you first." Nothing beforehand. ”
Wu Dalang gave the order to evict the guests, and the two younger brothers couldn't stay any longer, so they got up immediately.
"Master Wu, we're leaving."
Looking at the backs of Liu Zhengfu and Chen Guoting, Wu Dalang muttered: "It's good, I have another little brother, my ability is not bad, and the days ahead will be easier and easier." ”
When Chen Guoting and Liu Zhengfu walked to the door, they happened to see Xiao Guizi.
The two of them didn't pay attention to it, and the little nobleman came to find Wu Dalang.
Who knew that when Xiao Guizi saw Chen Guoting, he showed a happy look: "Chen Shangshu, you are really here." ”
Looking for him?
Chen Guoting paused for a moment and asked, "I don't know what your father-in-law is looking for me?" ”
Xiao Guizi: "Just now Goryeo and Zhenla came to pay tribute, Your Majesty asked you to arrange it." ”
Chen Guoting was also suddenly, it turned out that the envoy who paid tribute came, and he really needed him to entertain him as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Then Chen Guoting said to Liu Zhengfu: "Liu Shangshu, then I'll go first." ”
Liu Zhengfu: "Well, Chen Shangshu is at will." ”
Liu Zhengfu and Chen Guoting also left after they separated, and Chen Guoting went directly to the post house.
The post house is a place specially built for the envoys to live, and when the envoys come to Kyoto, they will be directly arranged to the post house first, and then entertained by a special person, and when they go to the court, they will talk about the tribute and express the respect of the small country for the big country.
However, when it comes to paying tribute, the envoys often bring back far more valuable than what he brings.
The younger brother's tribute expresses the courtesy and affection, and as the eldest brother, it is to save face, and the shot must be generous, often the younger brother wants something, and the eldest brother will clap his hands and send it away.
In the final analysis, it has always been a matter of face.
After a while, Chen Guoting also came to the post house, asked the guards of the post house, and also knew the location of Zhenla and the Goryeo envoys.
Chen Guoting walked to the place where Zhenla lived first.
Chen Guoting came to the residence and knocked on the door twice.
The door opened, and Chen Guoting saw a middle-aged man with dark skin.
Chen Guoting said with a smile: "Polnook, we meet again." ”
Polnook also smiled: "Lord Chen, it's a pleasure to see you again." ”
Chen Guoting quipped: "Polnook, your language level is still so bad. ”
Polnook showed an embarrassed and helpless expression: "No way, in Zhenla, no one chats with me in the language of the Great Song." ”
......
Chen Guoting and Polnook are obviously old friends, and they are relatively cordial when they meet, and they also chat.
And the Goryeo envoy who lived next door obviously knew that Chen Guoting had come.
But what made them unbearable was that Chen Guoting actually went to meet the envoy of Zhenla first.
How can a small place like Jinla be compared to their Goryeo, if you divide them according to their strength and weakness, they will be the first to see them anyway.
However, the Great Song Dynasty is the boss, and in other people's territory, people can see each other as they want, and the Goryeo envoys can only complain in the room.
The Goryeo envoy Yi Shengying, who was the representative of the envoy group and the prince of Goryeo, was sitting in the room a little impatient at this time.
"Hasn't Chen Guoting come here yet?" Lee Seung Young asked the minister at the door.
"No, Chen Guoting is still in the room of Zhenla Kingdom." The minister glanced at the room of Zhenla Kingdom and said.
Now Li Shengying was even more angry: "Chen Guoting deceived people too much, and Da Song deceived people too much, and he didn't take me Gaoli in his eyes at all." ”
The minister didn't know how to comfort Li Shengying, he couldn't say: Prince, don't be angry, we will send troops to kill the Great Song Dynasty when we go back.
Apparently this is an unrealistic idea, and the idea is still crazy ...
After a while, the minister standing at the door finally saw Chen Guoting walking out of the room in Zhenla Kingdom.
"Prince, come out, come out, Chen Guoting came out, and now he's coming to our side." The minister also reported immediately.
Li Shengying snorted coldly: "Close the door, and open it when I say it." ”
Chen Guoting walked to the door and knocked on the door twice.
But there was no movement.
Chen Guoting was very suspicious that there were any Goryeo envoys in it.
But the guards couldn't be mistaken, so Chen Guoting knocked twice more, and shouted at the same time: "Is the Goryeo envoy inside?" ”
Li Shengying: "Ah, yes, yes, Lord Chen, wait a minute." ”
Since he was there, Chen Guoting waited outside.
However, after waiting for a few minutes, he realized that the Goryeo envoy had been slow to open the door for him.
Chen Guoting's face also had a hint of anger, he knew that the Goryeo envoy was deliberately hanging him.
It's just revenge that he went to Zhenla just now and made them wait for a long time.
But he is the official secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Song Dynasty, and you are a little Goryeo who actually plays with him?
Chen Guoting immediately pulled Gao Li into his blacklist.
Chen Guoting was still standing, he wanted to see when Gao Li would open the door for him.
After another minute, Lee slowly got up from his seat, walked to the door, and pulled the door open.
Li Shengying looked at Chen Guoting and pretended to be panicked: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I made Lord Chen wait for a long time, and I really couldn't get out of it just now." ”
Chen Guoting didn't say much, and showed a polite smile: "Well, if the envoy has any needs, he can order the officers and soldiers of the post house, and he will take you to the court tomorrow." ”
Li Shengying said gratefully: "There is Lord Lao Li." ”
Chen Guoting: "The official still has something to do, so I will leave first." ”
Chen Guoting said and turned around and left.
Li Shengying was very angry with Chen Guoting's attitude, he was so perfunctory that he didn't even enter the door, which was looking down on him.
