Chapter 236: The Japanese envoy enters Beijing

In the palace, he was educated by his well-intentioned father, eldest brother, and good ministers, and vowed to correct Li Yu's deviated outlook on life, values, and worldview. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the evening, Li Yu returned to his comfort nest with a tired face, and as soon as he entered the gate, there was a fragrant breeze, and a group of beautiful maids and warblers circled around Li Yu, asking for warmth.

"Jun Xun entered the palace today, why is he physically and mentally exhausted when he returns home?"

Xin'er made a cup of tea, poured a cup, and raised her tempting red lips to Li Yu's mouth after paying for the water temperature, and gently fed Li Yu.

After drinking the tea, Li Yu rudely took Xin'er into his arms, hugged the weak and boneless Xin'er, and said a little tiredly: "I was instilled in the palace by my father, brother, and ministers in the court for a day to talk about scriptures, can I not be physically and mentally tired?" ”

"Giggle......" Xin'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "I didn't expect that Jun Xun also had a time to be suffocated!" ”

"Begging for a beating."

Li Yu couldn't help but pat Xin'er's upright little PP, which provoked Xin'er to move in Li Yu's arms, and she kept begging for mercy.

"Don't make trouble, there is still business waiting for you to deal with."

Xin'er grabbed Li Yu's hands that were patting and touching her, gasped for breath, and gave Li Yu a white look and said helplessly.

"Business? What's the matter? ”

Li Yu stopped his interest in fighting and asked Xin'er what was going on.

Xin'er broke free from Li Yu's embrace, picked up a piece of music from the bookcase, and handed it to Li Yu.

"This was sent by Xue Jun from Andong in an urgent manner, and the envoy of the Japanese State, Hanoi Whale, came to Pyongyang at the end of last year to visit Haojun, and discussed the occupation of Tsushima Island by our army. Because of the return of Emperor Xun to Beijing, Hanoi Whale left Pyongyang and rushed to Luoyang to meet His Majesty, and it is estimated that this will soon arrive in Luoyang. ”

"Hanoi whale wants to meet the eldest father?" When Li Yu heard this, his heart was a little hairy, he occupied Tsushima Island for a few months, but the Japanese State did not reflect, and thought that they were forced to be a shrinking turtle because of the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, but he didn't expect to send an envoy to the Tang Dynasty who only returned last year to negotiate.

This Hanoi whale Li Yu is not afraid, but he is worried that he will meet his father and queen and stage a pitiful appearance of a small country being wronged in front of his father.

In the spirit of the majesty of the kingdom, the emperor sent troops to occupy Tsushima Island, which was not the intention of the imperial court, but as the protector of Anton, he secretly sent troops to occupy it, and he would definitely order himself to withdraw from Tsushima Island and return it to the Japanese state.

"Tsushima Island is located in the middle of the strait, and it is an important gateway to the northern parts of Hokkaido, such as the Rakurang Sea and the Gensu Sea, and it is also a foothold for attacking Silla from the south. If it is returned to the Japanese state, it will be extremely unfavorable to my layout. ”

Li Yu was a little difficult for a while, thinking about how to deal with it.

Xin'er thought for a while: "Why don't we intercept the Hanoi whale and prevent him from meeting His Majesty, and we will negotiate with him and persuade him to temporarily rent Tsushima Island from the Wa Kingdom in the form of money and grain?" ”

"It's a method."

It seems that this is the only way to be the safest, Li Yu hugged Xin'er and kissed her, and then ran out and sent someone to find out the itinerary of the Hanoi whale into Beijing, so as to arrange for someone to intercept him.

Leaving Xin'er, who blushed with a shy face, was at a loss.

……

The Ministry of Industry was quite fast, and within nine days it collected enough people to prepare the necessary money and food, and sent people to ask Li Yu when the engineering team of the Xuanji Commercial Bank would arrive and start construction.

The engineering team of Xuanji Commercial Bank had been prepared four days earlier, and since the Ministry of Works was ready, Li Yu ordered the engineering team to set off to assist the Ministry of Engineering in carrying out cement renovation on the streets of Liangjing.

The engineering team did not know how many large families had repaired their yards, and they were familiar with road construction.

The team has successively put forward several suggestions for the construction of the cement road to the general supervisor of the Ministry of Works, who is in charge of the road construction.

The prison officials were invited from the Yanwang Mansion, and patiently listened to the few rationalized distribution of people and the details of road construction given by the other party.

Due to the abundant manpower, but not in a hurry, the cement transformation of the road in Luoyang City decided to start from Dingdingmen Street in the Beitong Imperial City and complete the transformation street by street. The cement required for the monthly construction period coincides with the monthly output of the cement mill in the east of Luoyang, avoiding the problem of insufficient cement supply. The cementification of the streets in Chang'an City was also carried out at the same time.

After the cement road is built, it needs to be covered with weeds and dried in the shade for one to two months before it can be used. Therefore, under the guidance of the engineering team, only the left half of the cementing of Dingdingmen Street was repaired, leaving the right half for people and vehicles to drive. When the cement road built on the left half is available, repair the right half.

Seven or eight days later, the left half of Dingdingmen Street was completed, and the road construction team turned to another street. At this time, in addition to the pedestrians and vehicles passing on the right half of Dingdingmen Street, there are dozens of people who are busy paving the cement pavement on the left half with soft firewood and grass to prevent the road surface from being damaged.

When the people were sprinkling firewood and grass on the concrete pavement, they noticed that a handsome-looking and extraordinarily dressed young man on the side of the road was looking at the road curiously, squatting down from time to time and touching and knocking with his hands.

"Whose little man is this, she looks really handsome and extraordinary."

"Not only is he handsome, his demeanor is down-to-earth and generous, and his bearing is extraordinary, and at first glance, he knows that he is not a child of an ordinary official eunuch."

Just when the people were talking about how heroic the young man in front of them was, a simple voice came.

"This Xiao Xun is of the same grade as his daughter, and he looks so good-looking, and his marriage match with my daughter is just right, I think my daughter must be very satisfied......"

Everyone looked stunned, dumbfounded, and didn't know what to say. They all turned their heads to look for their voices, and it was He Laohan, who was working with them, who was looking at the young man, and said stupidly.

"Hahaha......"

The companions beside He Laohan couldn't help laughing, and they couldn't stop laughing, and they all laughed and scolded him for being whimsical.

"He Laohan, you are really a toad who wants to eat swan meat, just the looks of you and your mother-in-law, the girl born is worthy of this little gentleman?"

"With the appearance of your family's four walls, are you sure that you can match Xiao Xiaojun's family background?"

"And say that your daughter is not satisfied? Whether Xiao Xiaojun can see it is a question. ”

……

He Laohan's face turned red by the ridicule of his companions, if he wasn't born with a simple and honest nature, if he was a hot-tempered person, this would not only be scolding the past, but would have the guy a long time ago.

The people ridiculed and ridiculed He Laohan's voice Li Yu heard it word for word, and he was very curious, what does this He Laohan's daughter look like, and he would think that I can be ranked in the top five in Liangjing to satisfy his daughter?

Is this a burst of self-confidence in the appearance of his daughter, or is it meaningless to ignore?

"He Laohan, you have successfully aroused the interest of this king, I have to take a look at the appearance of your daughter."

Li Yu made up his mind in his heart, and he would send someone to inquire about the daughter of He Laohan's family later, and then go to see the true face of Lushan.

With He Laohan's dark and rough face, I really don't think he can give birth to the daughter of Meinuo Tianxian, not to mention that other people also pointed out that his wife is also miserable.

"Your Highness, the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, Hanoi Whale, was intercepted by us at the Upper East Gate, and I would like to ask Your Highness to show me."

The guards sent to intercept the envoys arrived quickly, and reported to Li Yu when they dismounted.

"Take me there."

"Whoa."

The focus of the people's discussion, the handsome young man got into the carriage and left, and none of them continued to revolve around this topic, but chatted about family life.

He Laohan, who was ridiculed by his companions, was depressed and did the work in his hands, and shouted silently in his heart, my daughter is beautiful.
