When Dong Changqing came out, both Ping Zhongsheng and Yuan Weiyi breathed a sigh of relief. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Dong Changqing is dignified, standing in old age, with a white face and beard, which is the general appearance of officials in the Great Song Dynasty today. In the past two years, he has been ordered by Zhou Quan, staying in Beijing, dealing with public affairs, living in the body and cultivating qi, but also cultivating a rich and noble posture, no longer the original student appearance.

Put it outside, saying that he is a six-rank official, absolutely no one will doubt it.

However, facing him made Ping Zhongsheng and Yuan Weiyi a lot easier, so Dong Changqing's questioning did not make the two of them more afraid, they glanced at them, only to see that after those teenagers, some errand soldiers poured in, and instantly surrounded them.

"Put them in prison, boil them up for some time, and when it is convenient, return them to Japan." Dong Changqing said.

When Dong Changqing gave the order, Zhou Quan did not say a word, and turned around and left with the array of young men, and those servants came with sticks, the Japanese did not dare to resist, and after a while, they were tied up one by one, and they were to be driven out of this mansion and taken to Pengcheng Prison.

"We are envoys of a great power, and we must leave some dignity for us!" Ping Zhongsheng saw that the other party was rushing towards him, and immediately shouted.

"Okay, okay, what you're saying is that you are envoys, and the envoys who have come to complain must leave some dignity for you." Dong Changqing said in his mouth, and then bowed his hand to Ji Chun: "Annoyed Brother Ji did it himself?" ”

Ji Chun smiled and nodded: "Since you want to leave them some dignity, naturally I will do it!" ”

After he stepped forward, he touched his left hand and pulled out a claw on his right, and Ping Zhongsheng roared angrily: "What kind of dignity is this? ”

"They should have done it, and I did it myself, why didn't I leave a decent place?" Ji Chun smiled while showing Dong Changqing what he had in hand: "Yo, I'm really good at hiding, I hide a lot, especially this one, there is still something in the crack of the corset." ”

Ping Zhongsheng's face changed, and he reached out to cover his chest, but an errand officer came up, cut his corset with scissors, and took out a piece of silk from it.

It was a piece of silk with words written all over it, sewn into the seam of his placket, and had not been found after several previous searches. But Ji Chun only touched it a few times, and then found that something was wrong and searched it out.

The messenger handed the silk to Ji Chun, Ji Chun glanced at it and turned it to Dong Changqing, after Dong Changqing read it, he put it away and said with a smile: "I see, there is such a letter, you two, you can go where you should go now." ”

The messengers drove the mission out of the courtyard, and at this time, Ping Zhongsheng and Yuan Weiyi still didn't believe it, the other party really dared to deal with the envoys of the other countries in broad daylight, and they didn't think that Zhou Quan would hand over such an important matter to others, rather than deal with it personally.

When they arrived in prison, Ping Zhongsheng and Yuan Weiyi realized that the Song people were not scaring them, and Zhou Quan was not pretending, but handed them over to Dong Changqing for disposal.

"Yuanjun, at this point, don't you want to talk about your true plans?" Seeing this, Ping Zhongsheng asked Yuan Weiyi.

Yuan Weiyi's face was not very nervous: "What can I plan, I joined the mission on the order of the regent, and my selfishness is nothing more than to cut off the foreign aid of the traitors at home, but we fell into the hands of that master, and all the plans are like a dream......

There was still some irony in his words, because he didn't know about Ping Zhongsheng's hidden silk letters.

"In the eyes of that old man, we are so unbearable in Japan, he didn't even deal with us personally, but handed it over to his subordinates...... Gen-kun, I have a bad premonition! ”

"Yes, I have ...... as well At this time, it is time to work together, for example, what is written on the silk, you may be able to tell me......

When Ping Zhongsheng heard Yuan Weiyi say this, he was angry.

He understands the meaning of the source of righteousness, this time to envoy, the source of righteousness was originally stuffed by Fujiwara faithfully, success is to share the credit, failure can also increase a seniority. The most important thing is that now that the power is in the hands of the White River Emperor, the chaos caused by smuggling is first and foremost a problem for the Emperor and not a problem for the White Family.

Even from the perspective of interests, the smuggling on Jeju Island occupies the market share of the smuggling of the Heijia family, and it has little to do with local tyrants like Yuan Weiyi, who rely on the land for food. As for the proximity between Gen Yoshitsuna and Jeju Island, it is not without a solution - it is a big deal that the Genji clan also cooperates with Jeju Island.

"For the sake of righteousness, we are on this trip, but we are under the royal order of the Emperor and his old man, if we can't succeed in going back, I really can't think of any choice we have except to commit suicide......

"Hugh is going to tell me this, and if your true purpose is not to tell me, then there is no need to say anything else. That minister of the Song Kingdom is really a beautiful young man......" Yuan Weiyi raised his eyes and looked at the roof of the prison, his eyes full of strange light.

"It is indeed a beautiful boy, and his retainer Ye Chu is already a beautiful boy who makes people's hearts move...... Well, what do you mean by that? ”

"What do you mean, haven't you inquired about this master, Liaoguo and Goryeo are all rushing to send the princess to him, I don't know if there is a princess who can handle it on the side of the emperor, or the princess of your Ping family, you can also do it? But by your word, your sister has fallen in favor of his subordinates...... We don't have a suitable princess in Genji, but Sekihaku-sama has it......"

"What!"

"Guan Bai sent me here, and he once authorized that if necessary, he could compromise with the beautiful young man, which was a compromise between the Fujiwara clan and the Tokai Chamber of Commerce." Yuan Weiyi sat up straight at this time, the rudeness that only low-level warriors had before was completely gone, and the essence flashed in his eyes: "Now, I'll tell you everything, Zhongsheng, do you think, can you stop it?" ”

Ping Zhongsheng's forehead was bruised: "This is treason, this is treason!" ”

"This is the emperor's imperial decree, since the emperor has abdicated, he will either be officially ordained or live in the palace, he should not have interfered in government affairs for a long time."

"Nonsense, how could the emperor give such a stupid imperial order, is His Majesty the Emperor also treasonous?" Ping Zhong Shengyi was stern: "For righteousness, your family is favored by the emperor, and at this time, you should stop this kind of treason......"

"Okay, I don't look down on you the most, that's this look, Zhongsheng, now I'm going to pay homage to that beautiful young man, you can continue to stay here and be loyal to Emperor Shirakawa."

Yuan Weiyi laughed, then banged the fence of the cell, and shouted: "I have something important, I want to report to the master!" ”

The two envoys were so noisy that the guards outside heard it, but no one came to look at it. Yuan Weiyi thought that the guards would definitely come over with his beating, but the guards came, but they beat him up with water and fire sticks across the fence.

"I want to see the master, I want to see ......" Yuan Weiyi was beaten straight and dodged, shouting one after another, but it was useless.

After beating him badly, the messenger went out, and Yuan Weiyi turned his head in a daze, and saw Ping Zhongsheng slowly trimming his beard.

"Hahahaha, it looks like you're closed for righteousness." The two looked at each other, and Ping Zhongsheng sneered.

"You ......"

The self-confidence of the source is righteous, and at this time it has turned into anger.

The two Japanese envoys fought with each other in prison and someone reported it to Zhou Quan, but Zhou Quan didn't care about it at all.

After seeing these two envoys and reading the letter sent by Emperor Baihe, Zhou Quan's eyes narrowed.

I did not expect Japan to be so sensitive to the shochu trade, and it can be said that the key reason for the Japanese mission was the sake trade.

But...... He doesn't carry this pot.

From Japan's point of view, the vast majority of Sino-Japanese trade is hosted by the Tokai Chamber of Commerce, and wine is no exception. Those ships that brought wine were all under the banner of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, and the merchants on board always showed that they had an unusual relationship with the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, intentionally or unintentionally.

But Zhou Quan knows very well who the real people behind the wine trade are.

He smiled, his eyes sparkling, and the opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time seemed to have appeared.

"Like a cypress, like a cypress!" He shouted Dong Changqing's words.

"What does Ming Gong command?" Dong Changqing walked in with a smile and asked him.

"It's going to be hard for Rubai to go to Jingshi, but I didn't expect that the Japanese would have such ambitions and be willing to share the land of Goryeo with us......"

What was written on the silk was a handwritten letter from Emperor Shirakawa of Japan, which was originally a secret letter, and if Ping Zhongsheng could meet Zhao Ji, an official of the Great Song Dynasty, he could present it.

The content of the letter was that Japan heard that Goryeo was not in line with the Great Song Dynasty, and was willing to send troops to attack Goryeo for the Song Dynasty.

This news made Zhou Quan very surprised, he now has a good understanding of the political situation in Japan, the current Japanese Emperor Shirakawa, on the one hand, wants to control his grandson Emperor Toba, the puppet, on the other hand, he wants to fight with the Fujiwara Seki family, in this case, he still has the heart to do something to Goryeo.

Perhaps, like yourself, you are playing the idea of transferring domestic contradictions abroad?

It's just that this wishful thinking is too loud......

After listening to Zhou Quan's words, Dong Changqing smiled and said: "Duke Ming, there is something I want to report to you, those two Japanese envoys are fighting to see Duke Ming." ”

"Rushing to sell the country? I'm gone, you go see me and see if you can pull out more. After the meeting, there is no accident, you will go back to Beijing first, and bring some messages back for me. Zhou Quan waved his hand.

Dong Changqing got his order, first put Yuan Weiyi out, and heard Yuan Weiyi say that he was willing to be the daughter of the Japanese prime minister and serve as a concubine for Zhou Quan, he smiled dumbly, but then Yuan Weiyi said that the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce only needs to stop supporting Yuan Yigang, and at the same time, in the dispute between Emperor Shirakawa and the regent Guan Bai, support Guan Bai's side, and the Fujiwara clan is willing to give more trade preferences to the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce.

This news made Dong Changqing's heart pound, but he did not rush to respond to Xia Yuan's suggestion, but made a haha and asked people to arrange a separate prison for him.

Perhaps, in Ping Zhongsheng, he can get a better bargaining chip. (To be continued.) )
