Chapter 170: Persian brocade robe

When Yang Guang heard the name He Chou, he was still ignorant, and he couldn't remember when and where he had seen this person. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At this time, Yu Juluo, Xian Yuluo and a cadre of sergeants had already come out, and the stars and moons surrounded Yang Guang in the middle.

"Master Wang, didn't you go to Huazhou, how could I meet you here?" Zhang Xutuo asked Wang Shichong strangely.

"Lord Wang, the lower officials are indeed going to Huazhou tomorrow to inspect the temple." Wang Shichong arched his hand at Zhang Xutuo, and said to Yang Guangjie one-on-one, "When I entered the palace today, I met Brother He who wanted to come to the West Market to buy peacock gold silk thread for the matter of Persian brocade robes, so Xia Guan came with him. ”

"Persian brocade robes? What's going on? Yang Guang heard Wang Shichong talk about the Persian brocade robe, and couldn't help but be interested.

"Brother He, it's better for you to listen to the prince."

He Chou had no intention of shouting about this unfinished matter to everyone, but Wang Shichong had already said it in front of Yang Guang, so he had to step forward and say: "Lord, since my Great Sui defeated Tuguhun in Western Xinjiang and restored the trade route between Chang'an and Western Xinjiang, all the states in Western Xinjiang have admired my Great Sui court, and have sent envoys to Chang'an in recent days to contribute to the current saint in order to repair. Yesterday, more Persian envoys served the edict of the king, and came to Chang'an to present to the emperor a collar of refined Persian brocade robes from the Persian State. When the emperor saw this brocade robe, he was very happy, and he gave a banquet in the palace to entertain the Persian envoys on the same day. Who knows, during the banquet, the Persian envoy vomited wild words after drinking, and even claimed that the Persian brocade robe presented to the emperor was a unique treasure in the world. Lord Wang, I Huaxia Xiang is famous for producing Qiluo Ling brocade, whether it is Shu brocade, Bian embroidery, or Su brocade made by Jiangzuo, it can be called the best in the world, unparalleled in the world. The emperor was quite unhappy when he heard that the Persian envoys dared to boast in my Chinese palace that the brocade robes presented by his country were peerless treasures, and he sent the lower officials into the palace early this morning and asked me if I could imitate a brocade robe identical to the Persian brocade robe, so that the Persian envoys who had no one in their eyes could see the skills of our Chinese craftsmen. In front of the emperor, I carefully looked at the brocade robe, and found that the Persian brocade robe was not very surprising except for the careful sewing of gold threads, so I immediately accepted this mission. I pondered that if I used the peacock gold silk thread produced in Linyi to sew the brocade robe, I would be able to beat the Persian brocade robe, because Brother Wang was born in Xihu and had many acquaintances with the Hu merchants in Xishi, so I invited him to accompany me to Xishi to find peacock gold silk thread, and I didn't want to disturb the prince. ”

Yang Guang only vaguely remembered Persia, but he didn't know where Lin Yi was, and mistakenly thought that he should also be in the Western Regions, so he didn't care too much, and was about to send Wang and He two people back to the house, when he suddenly thought of something between his legs, and asked Wang Shichong: "Do you know what temples are near the West Market?" ”

Since Wang Shichong saw Yang Guang yesterday, he secretly had the heart of clinging, and intended to show off his familiarity with the Buddhist temples in Chang'an City in front of Zhang Xutuo, so that Zhang Xutuo could bring a message to Yang Guang and arouse his attention to himself.

"This king asks you, do you know that there is a small nun temple dedicated to Guanyin near here, and it seems that there are only one or two monks and nuns on the left of the nun temple to practice?" Yang Guang remembered that the stone house courtyard was facing the front yard of Kushui Road, and asked with his eyes fixed on Wang Shichong.

"What the prince wants to ask about is the Guanyin Temple in the stone house courtyard, why don't you know? In the Guanyin Temple, there is only one monk or nun registered in the Zongxuan Office of the lower official on an errand, and there are one or two more daring now, but this lower official doesn't know. Wang Shichong blurted out the stone house courtyard, which surprised Yang Guangda.

"Since you know that this Guanyin Temple is located in the Stone House Courtyard, you must also know who built the Stone House Temple?" Yang Guang asked tentatively.

"A little bit of it. Please forgive the officials for taking the liberty of taking it, but the prince has just come out of the stone house courtyard and is taking the sweet water road. Wang Shichong replied very firmly.

This time, Yang Guang was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly invited each other: "Two, can you go back to the house with this king to talk in detail?" ”

His Royal Highness the King of Jin invited him, how could Wang Shichong and He Chou, who were micro-end officials, refuse each other?

Yang Guang took He and Wang back to the palace of the king of Jin with great interest, and sent Yu Juluo and a group of soldiers to return to the Great Solemn Temple immediately, and then wait for the dispatch in his own house tomorrow, so he led He Chou and Wang Shichong into the main hall of the house, and even didn't care about eating a bite of food, and instructed Zhang Xutuo and Xian Yuluo to guard the entrance of the palace, and not to allow idle people to disturb him. ”

Wang Shichong definitely didn't expect that he would become a guest in the Jin Palace's mansion so quickly, and he sat with Yang Guang at the bottom, so naturally he was already happy in his heart. Seeing that Yang Guang was anxious to learn the origin of the stone house from his mouth, he deliberately made a thoughtful appearance, and after a little silence, he replied: "Since the prince asked, the lower officials did not dare to hide it at all. Speaking of this stone house, Xia Guan still learned its detailed origin by chance: Xia Guan was promoted by the emperor a few months ago, and soon after he arrived at Zongxuan's office, he caught up with someone in the court to come forward to register the temple for the Guanyin Temple in the stone house courtyard. At that time, Xia Guan saw that there was only one monk or nun who needed to register in the official palace of this Guanyin Temple, so he couldn't help but be a little curious, so he asked a few more words about the visitor, so by chance, he learned the origin of the stone house courtyard. ”

"But I don't know if there is someone in the court mentioned by Wang Zhicheng, who is this person referring to?" Yang Guang heard that Wang Shichong was only willing to say that someone in the court handled the registration and registration matters for the Guanyin Academy, but refused to say the name and official position of that person, and knew that there must be a reason, so he stared at it and asked.

"This ......" Wang Shichong hesitated for a moment, but still decided to answer truthfully, "On that day, someone came to show the official a handwritten letter stamped with the seal of the Duke of Baoguo, claiming that he had come to the Zongxuan Office on an errand on the order of his master. The lower official position was lowly and senior, and he didn't dare to ask more at that time. ”

"Bao Guogong?" Yang Guang had never heard of this person, and looked at Wang Shichong with puzzled eyes, hoping that he could tell who the surname of this Duke of Baoguo was.

Wang Shichong was quite shrewd, and when he understood and explained to Yang Guang, he said: "Lord Wang, Baoguo Gongyu Wenshu used to be one of the few relatives of the former dynasty Otsuka Zai Yu Wenhu, and most of him was grateful for the grace of being cultivated by Yuwen Hu back then, so he thought of doing this for Yuwen Hu's servants, which is also a very common thing in the world.
