Chapter 283: Envoy (3)
I've already figured out that I only need to go out alone to bring all the craftsmen of Tosakuin to Goryeo, and I don't need your help. Wu Yongdao.
"Oh? What are you going to do? Zhu Gui said in surprise.
"You don't need to cāo heart for this! Not only will I bring the craftsmen of the temple to Goryeo, but I will also bring all the stone throwers and crossbows of the temple to Goryeo! I'm going to take a lot of food with me! Whatever Liangshan needs, I will get it all! Don't worry! Wu Yongdao.
Zhu Gui didn't believe what Wu Yong said at all, but their intelligence department didn't have a good way to take the craftsman away from Bianliang at present, so he could only let Wu Yong mess around here for the time being.
Zhu Gui had already decided to leave here tomorrow morning, and then find a way to leave with the craftsman himself.
At this moment, Wu Yong has taken out a large amount of good wine and food to entertain Zhu Gui, but where can Zhu Gui eat?
The more he looked at Wu Yong, the more dissatisfied he became, but Wu Yong ignored him at all.
But I didn't know that Wu Yong was in a very complicated mood at the moment: "Others look down on me Wu Yong, saying that I, Wu Yong, became a member of the Military Aircraft Department by relying on the trust of the Metropolitan Governor." This time, I will make a big one for Wu Yong, so that Liangshan will be of infinite use in the future, and let others know that I Wu is very powerful! ”
Thinking of this, Wu Yong's whole body trembled with excitement, and the pen in his hand trembled.
In the early morning of the next day, after washing and eating breakfast, Wu Yong and Zhu Gui found that it was raining lightly outside.
The drizzle made the air very refreshing, and at this time, the guards outside reported to Zhao Mingcheng, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, asking to see him.
Zhao Mingcheng is also a famous figure in history, he is the son of Zhao Tingzhi, the prime minister of the Chongning era, and has attainments in gold and stone calligraphy and painting, cultural relics appreciation and so on. Of course, what is even more famous is his wife, and his wife Li Qingzhao is a famous lyricist in history. However, there is no Nandu at this moment, Li Qingzhao's fame is not as great as that of later generations, and her husband Zhao Mingcheng's fame is naturally not as great as that of later generations.
Zhu Gui was hiding anxiously in the attic, while Wu Yong had already strode out with two guards.
Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly saluted, and then greeted Wu Yong in Goryeo. He has been a Shaoqing of Honglu Temple for a while, and naturally he has also learned some Korean language, but he is not fluent enough.
Wu Yong also replied two sentences in Goryeo, he has been in Goryeo for a long time, and the Goryeo dialect is much more standard than what Zhao Mingcheng said.
However, after a while, Wu Yong suddenly switched to Chinese and said, "Lord Zhao, it's really not a secret, above my Goryeo court, the ministers Jiāo spoke in the Upper Chinese language. Since I have come to Bianliang of the Celestial Dynasty today, I should naturally speak to you in Chinese. ”
Zhao Mingcheng laughed, he naturally knew about it, those courtiers and nobles in Goryeo all learned Chinese since childhood, and they often used Chinese for conversations on weekdays, even if it was the imperial examination, they used Chinese characters. Although Goryeo has been a vassal to the Liao State in recent years, it still uses the Han Chinese in terms of culture.
Hearing that Wu was fluent in Chinese, and that he spoke Bianliang official dialect, Zhao Mingcheng couldn't help but praise: "Master Cui, your official language is so good, it's amazing." ”
Wu Yong said with a smile: "False praise, false praise, don't dare to be." ”
It was raining lightly outside, and Zhao Mingcheng accompanied Wu Yong in the corridor and said, "Lord Cui, the robbers you met at sea are really Song people?" ”
Wu Yong showed a frightened expression on his face and said, "Yes, it must be from your country!" What they say is Chinese your language, and I still hear what they say about Liang Shanbo and the like...... Fortunately, they only took away the property, not the letter of state and the royal letter of the king, otherwise I would not have been able to see His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Zhao Mingcheng nodded, and said with some indignation: "The Liangshan thieves are in trouble with the north, and the imperial court has sent a large army to encircle and suppress them, but I didn't expect them to be wreaking havoc on the sea, which is really hateful." ”
Wu was secretly amused in his heart, and said, "Lord Zhao, I don't know when I will meet the Emperor of the Celestial Empire?" I have important matters to report to His Majesty the Emperor. ”
Zhao Mingcheng said: "I have already arranged it, and I can see Your Majesty tomorrow." Today, Lord Cui can go to Bianliang City to play first, and I will order someone to take you there, what do you think? ”

Chapter 112: Gold, Silver, Beauty, and Jade Beauty
Although it was drizzling, Wu Yong was accompanied by a group of soldiers and officials to visit Bianliang City.
"There is a Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang City, I often heard about it when I was in Goryeo, can you take me to see it?" Wu Yongdao.
"Naturally, please." A petty official of Honglu Temple hurriedly said.
When the next group of people went towards the Great Xiangguo Temple, there were hundreds of soldiers in front of the road, and the back was full of flowers, the pennant was fluttering, and the momentum was extremely amazing.
"Which of the people in the court is traveling?" The people on the side of the road couldn't help but ask.
"It's not the lord of the court...... Lord Chaozhong, no matter how powerful he is, he is not so majestic when he travels. I heard that it was an envoy from Goryeo who came to Bianliang, so he must have traveled. "Humanity next to it.
"Goryeo envoys? Didn't Goryeo claim to be a vassal to the Liao State and hadn't sent anyone to Bianliang for decades? The person who spoke before said in surprise.
Bianliang is the imperial capital, and the people here know more or less about politics. Goryeo had been a vassal to the Liao state decades earlier, and since then, Goryeo's envoys have stopped coming to Bianliang, and Bianliang has not welcomed the arrival of the Goryeos.
"I heard that the king of Goryeo has woken up and has broken off with the Liao people, and wants to claim to my Great Song Dynasty again, so I sent this envoy." There is a humane who knows the inside story.
"Oh...... It turned out to be Lao Li, I heard that your nephew is on an errand in Honglu Temple! I see! Goryeo is once again a vassal to my Great Song Dynasty, which is a great joy! The people around me couldn't help but get excited.
No matter how rotten the country is and how weak the military is, the people of this country still regard themselves as the subjects of the Celestial Empire, and everyone is excited about the re-"submission" of Goryeo to the feet of the Great Song Dynasty. Some people even think that Emperor Huizong has not been as ridiculous as before in the past two years, and the Great Song Dynasty may be able to restore its former glory.
Wu Yong naturally didn't know what these people thought, he only felt majestic, and this was the most majestic in his life.
", even if he was admitted to the promotion of people, jinshi, and became a big official, I am afraid that he is not as majestic as he is now, right?" Wu Yong thought secretly.
"Your Excellency, there is the Great Xiangguo Temple in front of you!" At this time, the official of Honglu Temple next to him suddenly reminded.
Wu Yong nodded and looked ahead, only to see that the temple was heavy and antique. Looking at the Great Xiangguo Temple in the smoke and rain, there is no interest.
"It was here that Lin Chong met the flower monk Lu Zhishen...... Interesting, interesting! I, Wu Yong, are here today! Thinking of this, Wu Yong wanted to laugh.
The abbot of the Great Xiangguo Temple had already led the elders of the temple to greet him in front, Wu Yong got out of the car, and then was surrounded by these people and entered the Great Xiangguo Temple.
The Great Xiangguo Temple of this era is not the Great Xiangguo Temple of later generations, and the Great Xiangguo Temple of later generations has long been lost to the scale of the year after several wars. But now, Daxiangguo Temple is the center of Buddhism in the Great Song Dynasty, and it can be called the first treasure temple of Buddhism in the Great Song Dynasty. The whole Daxiangguo Temple covers an area of 1,000 acres, has jurisdiction over 64 Zen and law institutes, and raises thousands of monks.
Wu used to come here just to remember the behavior of Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and others, and there was no other meaning, but the beautiful scenery of Daxiangguo Temple still made him feel very comfortable.
In the Honglu Temple, Taishi Cai Jing actually came here.
The big and small officials of Honglu Temple hurriedly came out to greet them, and Zhao Mingcheng was also among them.
Cai Jing called Zhao Mingcheng over and asked about the "Goryeo envoy".
"This Goryeo envoy only has a national letter in his hand, not many attendants, and no tribute, do you think there will be a mistake?" Cai Jingdao.
"You can't go wrong! Lord Cai, have you seen that Goryeo envoy, his bearing, at first glance, is an adult who has been in the top position for a long time. He is proficient in Goryeo and has a national book, so there should be no mistake. Zhao Mingcheng said.
As a member of the Liangshan Military Aircraft Department, Wu Yong has a high status, and he has also cultivated the temperament of some high-ranking people over the years, and he is no longer a sour Confucian scholar. Zhao Mingcheng is from a family, so he can naturally appreciate the difference, so he has already determined that Wu Yong's identity will not be wrong.
"It's the best! This time, Goryeo actually wants to pay tribute to my Great Song Dynasty, and His Majesty is very happy, and he will summon this person tomorrow. In the next few days, you must treat this envoy well. Cai Jingdao.
"Yes, yes, don't worry." Zhao Mingcheng said.
Cai Jing nodded and left.
In the evening of the same day, a large welcome banquet was held at Hongroji Temple, and this time many officials of the court came to meet the Goryeo envoy.
In the end, Yang Jian, the minister of the DPRK and China, actually arrived!
This Yang Jian is not the Yang Jian in the god list, and there is no god list at this time. This Yang Jian was a famous eunuch in the late Northern Song Dynasty, and his power was on par with Tong Guan.
However, Tong Guan is a eunuch who has held the military power in the northwest for nearly 20 years, and this Yang Jian is the eunuch in charge of the imperial garden.
It is difficult for those who do not understand the politics of the Northern Song Dynasty to imagine what power the eunuch in charge of the imperial garden could have? How can it be juxtaposed with Tong Guan?
However, this is the case, in the era of Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a great messenger to be in charge of the imperial garden, because the entire Huashigang of the Great Song Dynasty was managed through him. Seventy or eighty percent of the property accumulated by the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty was spent on Huashigang, and the person who spent the money was Yang Jian.
Yang Jian was powerful in the Huizong era, and Tong Guan controlled the government with one article and one martial arts. Now that Yang Jian has been sealed to the position of "Taifu" by Zhao Ji, seeing Yang Jian's arrival, the hall suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at this powerful eunuch and made way for this person.
Wu Yong had already heard the whispers of the people next to him, and knew that the eunuch in front of him was actually the famous eunuch Yang Jian, and he was shocked at the moment.
He served in the Liangshan Military Aircraft Department, and he knew all the main officials of the Great Song Dynasty, and he was naturally very clear about Yang Jian. It is said that he is a small Goryeo envoy, how can Yang Jian support him?
He didn't know that Song Huizong attached great importance to him, a Goryeo envoy, and regarded Goryeo's title as a great achievement, so he sent Yang Jian to personally reward him as a Goryeo envoy.
"Master Cui came to Bianliang from thousands of miles away, and His Majesty was very happy when he heard about it, and specially ordered me to give 500 taels of gold, 30 pieces of jade, 100 pieces of brocade, and 10 beauties. Haha, Master Cui, Your Majesty attaches great importance to you! Yang Jian laughed.
"And the beauty?" Wu Yong was simply unbelievable.
Generally speaking, when foreign envoys came to the Great Song Dynasty, the "Heavenly Empire", the Great Song Dynasty would give gold, silver, and jade even if they slapped their faces and filled with fat, but Wu Yong had never heard of them.
In fact, this matter is also related to the castration of Song Huizong, Song Huizong is no longer close to women after being castrated, but there are still many palace maids and beauties in the palace, so Song Huizong picked out ten "useless things" from the palace and gave them to Wu Yong, a Goryeo envoy, to reward Wu Yong.
"Lord Cui, Your Majesty will summon you tomorrow, I heard that you have the imperial book written by the king of your country, I don't know what is written in it?" Yang Jian asked curiously.
"Lord Yang, this letter was sent to the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty by the King of our country, and I don't know what is written in it." Wu Yongdao.
According to the usual practice, before Jiāo gave a handwritten letter like this to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, he, an envoy, could never open it and read it, so Yang Jian was not surprised, nodded and did not ask any more.
It was not until late at night that Wu Yong returned to the attic where he was, and when he arrived here, Wu Yong found that the gold, silver, jade, brocade, and beauties had been sent to the attic where he was.
Looking at the ten beauties, Wu Yong was directly dumbfounded, each of these ten beauties was born beautiful, and they didn't look very old, standing there respectfully, motionless.
What is this called? The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty actually gave the beauties in the palace to the envoys of Fanguo? How come I've never heard of anything like this? I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor has enjoyed these ten beauties...... Forget it, no matter what, this is a gift from the emperor to me for Wu, and it will be for me Wu in the future. A hint of a smile appeared on Wu Yong's face.
"You can rest here today, I will take you with me when I return to Goryeo." Wu Yong waved his hand and let these beauties leave.
Tomorrow I will meet the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and I have very important things to do, so I must take care of my spirit today, and I must not waste my energy because of the beauty. At that moment, Wu Yong meditated for a moment, regained his composure, and then lay down and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, Yang Jian arrived again and led Wu Yong into the palace.
The imperial palace of the Great Song Dynasty, although it is not as good as the Forbidden City of the Ming and Qing dynasties, is also very large. There are palaces everywhere, each palace is built beautifully, the pillars and beams of the palace are carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the top of the palace is covered with glazed tiles, which looks very beautiful and gorgeous.
From the main gate of Xuande Building forward, along the way there are colorful flowers and plants, all kinds of beautiful stones stand up, these are the merits of "Flower Stone Gang".
However, Wu Yong had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery here, he was now excited and scared, and his heart was extremely worried.
"Success or not! After doing this, my Wu Yong is comparable to Su Qin and Zhang Yi, and I will be famous for all generations in the future...... My Wu Yong's position in Liangshan will also be extremely stable, and no one will dare to say anything gossip! However, this matter is extremely dangerous, and the slightest carelessness will break your bones......"
Wu Yong's face was a little pale, his body was a little trembling, and he was walking a little staggering, and Yang Jian next to him immediately noticed Wu Yong's abnormality.

Chapter 113: The Three Kingdoms United
"Master Cui, what's wrong?" Yang Jian asked a little strangely.
"The Imperial Palace of the Celestial Empire is so gorgeous, it's the first time I've come to this kind of place, so it's a little difficult to hold on. And he was about to meet the emperor of the Celestial Empire later, and the minister was also a little afraid in his heart. Wu Yongdao.
"Hahahaha......" Yang Jian laughed and said, "Don't worry, you are a Goryeo envoy, and the emperor will definitely not treat you slowly." ”
Yang Jian thought to himself that the small country of Goryeo was really unbearable, and the envoy of this small country was also a little bad. But he didn't think about it, in his heart, the Goryeo envoy should be like this. It would be strange if the Goryeo envoys arrived at the Great Song Palace and still looked normal.
Yang Jian took Wu Yong to continue to move forward, Wu Yong was already in a cold sweat at the moment, and now he slowly calmed down.
"Master Cui, Your Majesty values you very much, and this time I will receive you in the Daqing Palace." All the way forward, Yang Jian said.
"Oh." Wu Yong just nodded, he didn't understand the meaning of "Daqing Palace".
When the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty received the ministers, he was generally in the "Vertical Arch Palace", while the "Daqing Palace" only met the ministers there when a big celebration was held, or when the new emperor ascended the throne. This time, Song Huizong actually met Wu Yong in the "Daqing Palace", which shows that Song Huizong attached great importance to the envoys of Goryeo. Song Huizong had already regarded the Goryeo title as his greatest achievement since he ascended the throne, otherwise he would never have approached Wu in the Daqing Palace, this "Goryeo envoy".
On this day, all the civil and military officials above the fifth rank in the capital came to participate in the dynasty, and Song Huizong was high up, looking at the ministers below, and his heart was very excited.
"Goryeo has declared himself a vassal to my Great Song Dynasty
