On the third day of the first lunar month, in the Wende Hall of the Imperial City of Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty, the ministers of the court and the emperor Song Huizong congratulated the heaven and earth together, and met with the envoys of Hedan who came from all over the world to congratulate.

Prime Minister Cai You took the lead and said: "The envoys of the feudal towns and various states admired my Great Song Dynasty and came to congratulate, especially the Goryeo Kingdom, which has not come to the Pilgrimage for many years. ”

Song Huizong nodded again and again, Cai Yu is better than his father Cai Jing's sycophant kung fu, he once wanted to make the emperor happy, a dignified prime minister actually learned to play a clown, just for Bojun to smile, at this time the emperor nodded, and immediately continued: "The preparation of the Goryeo Kingdom is the heaviest of all the envoys of all the states, not only there are all kinds of rare treasures, but also the two princesses of the Goryeo Kingdom sent to serve the official family together, in order to show the sincerity of the lord of Goryeo." ”

Song Huizong's eyes not only lit up, but also asked, "Is it really the princess of Goryeo?" ”

Cai You said: "According to the investigation of His Majesty, it is really the daughter of the King of Goryeo, there is no falsehood, and the gift list is here." Someone presented the gift list of the Goryeo Kingdom to the dragon case of Song Huizong, Song Huizong opened it and watched it slowly, and Cai You lost no time in shouting: "Spread the envoys of the Goryeo Kingdom to the audience." ”

The Goryeo envoy was brought in by the eunuch of the Yellow Gate, and Song Huizong was immediately attracted by two slender and beautiful women, these two women were not only good-looking, but even more rare was that they looked exactly the same, and they were twin sisters.

Cai You glanced at Song Huizong's expression, and already knew that the gift given by the lord of Goryeo was right, in fact, Song Huizong was not the king of indulging in women, although the princess sent by Goryeo was beautiful, but it was far worse than Master Li and others, not to mention that Song Huizong had a lot of beauties, and the only thing that made Song Huizong interested was that their identity was a princess.

As for whether the identity of this princess is true or not, it doesn't matter anymore, as long as the envoy of Goryeo says yes.

The envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom respectfully bowed, Song Huizong nodded his head, the Goryeo envoy was a bearded man, and he said loudly: "I came to the Hajj to the Holy Lord on the order of the lord of the country, congratulate heaven and earth, and restore the old good. ”

Cai You said: "What did the lord of Goryeo invite? ”

The Goryeo envoy said: "First, the lord of our country asks the Heavenly Empire to send an envoy to exchange documents and make peace forever. ”

Song Huizong nodded and said, "Accurate." ”

The Goryeo envoy thanked him again, and then said: "Second, the lord of our country has long heard that there is an immortal master in the Heavenly Empire, and he admires it very much, so he invites the holy monarch to go to Goryeo to preach the scriptures and teach the law, and he can spread the avenue." ”

Song Huizong pondered for a while, and said to the small yellow door left and right: "This is also allowed, go and invite Master Suxin to come." ”

The little yellow door was busy going, and after a while, an old man with a crane hair and a childish face stepped on the square steps and came, he saluted Song Huizong, standing next to him, Song Huizong said to him: "Today, the lord of Goryeo sent an envoy to come, they have heard the name of the immortal master for a long time, and want to invite the immortal master to travel east, I don't know what the immortal master wants?" ”

Before Master Su Xin could speak, the Goryeo envoy had already preemptively said: "It's just that the Lord of our country wants to invite not this immortal master, but someone else." ”

Although this was very rude, it was enough to arouse Song Huizong's curiosity, and he turned to the Goryeo envoy and said, "Which immortal master does the Goryeo lord want to invite?" ”

The Goryeo envoy was silent, and the chief of the Suxin Dao stepped forward at this time and said: "Daojun, I don't know if you still remember a secret seal that was pardoned by this Dao last month?" ”

Song Huizong is known as the Emperor of Daojun, this old Taoist actually called his Dharma name, but Song Huizong didn't care, nodded and said: "This secret has been sealed in the Wude Hall according to the words of the Taoist, and it is heavily guarded by soldiers day and night, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

Su Xindao said: "At this time, the auspicious time has come, please take it quickly." ”

Song Huizong glanced at the chief manager beside him, and immediately a eunuch from the Yellow Gate arrived in the Wude Palace, and respectfully ushered in a small yellow cloth Miku, Su Xindao Chief first bowed, and then carefully opened the secret cube and took out a codex from it.

He carefully put the codex on Song Huizong's desk and said, "Daojun, please take a look." ”

Song Huizong slowly opened the codex, was taken aback, and said, "Dao Chang is really a god." Everyone was puzzled, Song Huizong sent people to circulate this codex and the ceremonial sheet of the envoys of the Goryeo State to all the officials, and everyone could not help but be surprised when they saw it, it turned out that the content of the codex that had been sealed for more than a month was exactly the same as the ceremonial sheet.

Su Xin said: "This codex in the secret is not actually left by this Dao, but written by the younger brother Guo Jingxian. ”

The Goryeo envoy said at this time: "The Taoist chief that the lord of our country is asking for is this Guo Immortal Master, begging for the grace of the Holy Monarch." ”

Song Huizong said to Su Xin: "When did the Taoist have a junior brother, how come he has never heard the Taoist mention it. ”

Su Xindao said: "This Dao, the senior brother of Guo Jing, started eighty years late, but he has been under the teachings of his teacher Chen Tuan's ancestor, and his Taoism is more advanced than this Dao, but he cultivates in the city, hides in the people, and is very few people who know. ”

As soon as Song Huizong heard that there was such a profound way, he immediately sent someone to invite him, but Cai You asked the Goryeo envoy: "I don't know what your third invitation is?" ”

The Goryeo envoy bowed and said: "The third request is simpler, the lord of our country heard that the Heavenly Empire is skilled in building boats, and he also asked the kingdom to send five hundred skilled craftsmen to teach shipbuilding skills with the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

This request was too easy for Song Huizong, and before he could say the word "quasi", two voices in the hall shouted at the same time: "No." ”

Song Huizong and the courtiers turned their heads to look, and the people who shouted the two were Qin Hui in the imperial history, and the other was the Japanese envoy.

The Japanese envoy seemed to be in a hurry, and rushed up and said: "The Holy Monarch must not agree to Goryeo's request, now the Jin State has sent troops to Goryeo, and the Goryeo State has become a vassal of the Jin State, and the Jin State wants to start a war against our Japan through Goryeo, but there is no warship, Japan and the Celestial Empire have been friends for a hundred years, and they come to congratulate every year, and the Celestial Empire cannot abandon the good neighbor and help the evil state." ”

The Goryeo envoy also said urgently: "The Holy Monarch should not listen to the nonsense of the Japanese envoys, our country is just building ships and going to sea to transport tribute from the Heavenly Empire, and even the princess of our dynasty has personally gone to Bianliang to show his sincerity, what sincerity does Japan have to say that it is a good neighbor?" ”

Song Huizong was speechless, and Cai You didn't know who was right and who was wrong, he turned his head to Qin Hui, who was shouting just now, and said, "Qin Huizhi also said no, what is the reason?" ”

Qin Hui went out of the class and said: "The sailor is the solid foundation of the country, the advance and retreat are appropriate, and the strong ship is unique to our dynasty, how can it be easily passed on to foreign countries?" ”

After hearing this, Cai You smiled and said: "The Great Song Dynasty does not rely on sailors, which of the states in the world can't build ships?" Qin Zhongcheng was too worried. Ignoring Qin Hui anymore, he turned to Song Huizong and said, "Please ask the official family to beg for permission from Gaoli." ”

Song Huizong did not agree immediately, and the Japanese envoy stepped forward and said: "In addition to the tribute of the regular year, there is also another ceremony that is different from previous years. ”

Cai You became interested and said, "Please submit it quickly." ”

The Japanese envoy said: "This thing is a sharp weapon, and I dare not present it." Cai You said: "Even if it's a gift, why don't you dare?" ”

The Japanese envoy then ordered his entourage to go to the post house to get a sharp weapon, and solemnly presented it to the main hall, it turned out that the Japanese envoy brought a slender war knife.

Cai You looked at it and said disdainfully: "What's so strange about this knife?" ”

The Japanese envoy said: "This knife is sharp, it can break its blade, and it is durable but not dull." ”

Cai You smiled: "What's so surprising about this, but I don't believe it, I have a knife, can I dare to try it?" He asked someone to go back to the guards outside the palace and brought a scimitar over, and said to the Japanese envoy: "You compare this knife with mine to see if you can break it." ”

The Japanese envoy was embarrassed: "I'm afraid that it will damage Cai Xianggong's blade." Cai You said: "It's okay, you just give it a try with him, and I won't blame you for the loss." Then he called one of the guards over and tried to stand with his scimitar.

In order to show the sharpness of the knife brought by the Japanese envoy, he had the courage to try Cai You's scimitar, and the guard collided with the knife, and with a "ding" sound, the two knives collided, and the head of the knife in the hand of the Japanese envoy fell to the ground, but Cai You's scimitar head was undamaged.

Cai You laughed and said: "I dare to call it sharp even if I have such a broken knife, it is too deceitful for me to go to the country without a knife." The Japanese envoy bowed his head and was speechless for a long time.

What the Japanese envoys didn't know was that Cai You's scimitar came from Persia and was not from Middle-earth.

Not long after, when Guo Jing strode onto the Wende Hall of the Imperial City of Bianliang in Kaifeng, his life reached a new peak.

He was no longer a rogue Taoist wandering the streets of Kaifeng Mansion, and from then on he became a guest of Song Huizong's "preaching and preaching".

Among the scoundrels and idlers in Bianliang City, Tokyo, Guo Jing, like Gao Taiwei, has become another myth circulating in the streets and alleys.

The Goryeo envoy invited him to visit Goryeo, but when he arrived in Youzhou, Guo Jing went to Huining Mansion in Shangjing, where he saw the four princes of the Jin Kingdom whose Han name was Wanyan Zongbi and the Jurchen name was Wanyan Wushu, and the king of the Great Officials with a silver eagle on his finger ring.

Wanyan Zongbi looked at Guo Jing coldly and said: "Do you know, you are talking nonsense, and you almost broke a big thing, and the Goryeo Kingdom searched all over the country to find two women you wrote nonsense, and wanted to send them to the Song Dynasty, and killed a woman's husband for this." ”

Guo Jing saw Wan Yan Zongbi's cold eyes, he was afraid, and a cold sweat was about to break out, Wan Yan Zongbi said again: "You go back quickly in a few days, remember, I can make you soar into the sky, and I can also let you die without a place to be buried!" ”

Guo Jing hurriedly knelt down and said: "Guo San will never dare to bear the trust of the fourth prince, what the prince wants Guo San to do, Guo San will do it, and he will never give up." ”

Wanyan Zongbi laughed and said, "I want you to help me take the Great Song Dynasty." Guo Jing's face was like ashes, but he didn't dare to say a word.

At this time in the Great Song Dynasty Bianliang City, Fang Jinshi went to the palace of the king of Yun to bid farewell to the prince of Yun, Zhao Kai said: "This go to Jiangnan, don't buy and sell, let alone say that it is the palace of the king of Yun and the mansion of the horse, if there is a violator, ask you." ”

Fang Jinshi said with a smile: "I have my own measure, and I will never dare to ruin the reputation of the third brother." ”
