Before dawn, hundreds of civil and military officials and envoys from various countries were already waiting outside the Xuande Gate. When the official envoys stood in order and entered one by one, outside the Daqing Gate, the guards checked their identities again, and entered the Daqing Palace Gate in order.

At this time, there are ministers to record the behavior of officials, so there is only the sound of quiet footsteps, see a group of people pass the gate of the Daqing Palace, enter the Daqing Hall and stand on both sides according to the official rank, and the hundred officials are followed by the envoys of various countries.

After the sound of drums, Renzong entered the Daqing Hall from behind the Daqing Palace, sat on the throne of the dragon bed, and the personal guards and ministers stood on both sides. Hundreds of officials and envoys knelt down, Renzong announced the exemption, and each returned to his place and stood silently on the court.

The privy envoy Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, the resignation of the envoys from various countries has been properly arranged. Please ask the emperor to practice it. ”

Renzong said: "Thanks to the fact that all countries have come to me to celebrate the New Year, I hope to form a friendly alliance with all countries forever, exchange what they have, and avoid the chaos of war."

Wang Bian entered the imperial city early today, and when you were preparing to go to the court, he had already prepared the application in the west side hall of the Daqing Palace. Listening to Renzong's big story, I thought in my heart that this statement has not changed since ancient times.

He listened to Renzong's voice with his ears, and knew that he still needed to talk for a while, and his mind quickly followed what happened yesterday and what he was going to do today.

When Wang Bi learned the results of Xiao Lu's investigation, he told Bao Zheng about his plan. Bao Zheng returned to the palace and asked Renzong for assistance. The little brother returned to Meyer's Mansion to discuss, if the Japanese slave monk didn't hit the muzzle of the gun today, he would take the opportunity to "take" the things back, but that was unlikely. Wang said to He Libo and Lu Shenyan: If it were someone else, maybe he would leave quietly and quietly. It's just that the people of this Japanese slave country are born cheap. If they have disdain in their hearts, they must be destroyed.

He Libo and Lu Shenyan were puzzled, and the king explained: "If you want to beat these Japanese slaves, you must fight them. If he just wins him, he will not be convinced, and he will bite people. As long as he can't turn over because of the obedience he plays, he will bow down and be a slave and a slave. Otherwise, how could they be called Japanese slaves since ancient times. ”

As a few people were talking, Yuexia brought a child about the same age as Liu Qi, and the child came in with a pair of black and bright eyes on his swarthy little face, wiping his tears.

Yuexia said: "You are not in the house, I went out for a walk, I wanted to buy some lanterns to see the Lantern Festival, and when I came back, I saw this child sitting on the steps outside the house and crying, I was afraid that he would be separated from his family in the snow." So I brought it in first. ”

Wang Bei knew that Yuexia had always been soft-hearted, and when he saw this, he said: "Let him and Liu Qi go to play for a while, and then send someone to the street to find this child's relatives when he is busy." ”

The moon led the child and was just about to leave the house, when the child turned around and said, "I am here to look for this lord," he said, stretching out his little hand that was red from the cold and pointing to the king's side.

Wang Bei asked in surprise: "Who are you, how can you recognize me?" ”

The child cried and said, "I have seen you riding a big horse on the royal street." ”

Seeing that the child was crying pitifully, the king beckoned him to come over, and the child came closer, and the moon handed the handkerchief to the king, and the king wiped the child's tears and said, "Man, don't cry, you see that your uncle never cries." ”

The boy nodded, and the king asked, "Whose child are you, and what are you looking for me?" ”

The boy sobbed, wiped his nose with his sleeve, and said, "My family has come to the army and taken my father away, and I have come to beg you to save him." ”

Several people frowned. He Libo said: "Little doll, is your father breaking the law?" ”

The child cried: "My father became a monk and didn't want me anymore, and the officers and soldiers arrested him when they knew about it." ”

The crowd crying with the child was even more confused, and Yuexia walked up to the child, squatted down and patted him and said, "Don't cry, who else is there in your family?" You say slowly, or your uncle won't be able to help you? ”

The boy stopped crying and said, "There is only my father in the house, and my mother is long gone." ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, could it be that another orphan was picked up under the moon?

Lu Shenyan said: "Then what is your name, where do you live, and what is your father's name?" ”

The boy had stopped sobbing, his eyes looked at the snacks on the table, and the moon took the cake and handed it to him, the little boy seemed to be hungry, looked at the crowd timidly and said thank you, and then ate the cake

"My name is Tong Xiao, and I have been living in Tianqing Temple with my father, and my father's name is Tong Zhong. Daddy always said that if he became a monk, our father and son would not be worried. He said this, and tears welled up in his big eyes.

"Uncle, my father became a monk, I don't want to go to the Salesian Bureau, and I don't want to be a monk. Someone asked me why I was crying outside the temple, and I said that my father didn't want me to be a monk anymore, so my father was taken away. ”

When the king heard this, he immediately understood in his heart that he had seen the name Tongzhong before. It was taken away by Kaifeng Mansion, of course, it has nothing to do with this doll crying, but because of the degree and gold and silver in the well outside the privet view. Kaifeng Mansion wants to find someone, as long as it is still in Bianjing City, it is very easy.

Hearing that the child said that he didn't want to go to the Salesian Bureau, Wang said to He Libo: "Brother He, go and find out about this child's background." He asked Yuexia to take the child and Liu Qi as companions first, and then deal with it later.

So many things happened in this day, it was really troublesome to have no phone, Wang couldn't help but sigh, it was still good for scientific and technological progress, there was no way to know this, of course, to turn back to Kaifeng Mansion, and wait for Lord Bao to understand the matter.

At this time, in the side hall on the west side of Daqing Palace, Lu Shenyan secretly yawned, and He Libo poked him and said in a low voice: "Don't be sleepy." ”

Lu Shenyan said: "The slave monk of the dog day, the young master who has not slept for two nights. ”

Wang Bei made a silent gesture towards him, he knew that Xiao Lu was in Huaiyuanyi the day before yesterday, and everyone had hardly slept all night yesterday. The ministers came in the morning before dawn, and they practiced all night. Finally got Xiao Lu and He Li bowl **. The two men were waiting with him in the side hall in the clothes of a eunuch.

This will have listened to the farewell words of the Daqing Palace, and distributed gifts to the envoys of various countries, and the envoys of various countries received rewards and thanked Emperor Renzong Shengming at the same time. A few people next to the king became nervous, and the same nervous as the king was Lord Bao. This Nine Dragons Cup is a secret investigation of Kaifeng Mansion. Soon it will be the turn of the Japanese slave kingdom to receive the reward.

From the beginning of the emperor's farewell speech, to hearing the ministers announce the reward one by one, the monk Kongxiu always closed his eyes on the main hall, and I don't know if he thought he was standing and asleep. Hearing his name, the monk Kongxiu took a few steps, stood in the middle of the main hall, not only did not kneel down to receive the reward, but said: "Amitabha, as the envoy of our country, I have something to declare here." ”

Renzong looked at this monk who was sitting taller than standing and had a hateful face, and if his subjects issued a holy decree, he would let his head move. However, since he sits on this high throne and dragon bed, and looks around the main hall, full of his subjects and envoys, he must always show dignified majesty.

Renzong narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked with a smile: "The monk of the Japanese slave country is empty, what do you want to declare to my court." ”

"I have three things to say, and please allow me to take up my time to come together."

Everyone in the court looked at each other, and they all knew that this was the ambassador of the Japanese slave country, and some of them exchanged ears, as if to say, if this monk will not come to see him on New Year's Day, why are you here at this time.

Renzong knew in his heart that the monk was going to make trouble, but there were so many people in the court, were you afraid that none of them could deal with this monk? He smiled indifferently: "You tell me one by one, let me listen." ”

Kong Xiu rolled his triangular eyes and looked around the court, this time, he also came with the will of the Fujiwara family, to let the Great Song Dynasty go to the name of the Japanese slave country. He said

"This first thing, the name of our country is Japan, and the country of the Central Plains is called the Japanese slaves, which is an insult to our national system, and it is a protest here. Solemnly declare the name of Japan. ”

After he finished speaking, the court immediately seemed to have blown up the country, making a buzzing sound, and the officials exchanged their heads and ears, and the foreign envoys also looked at each other, is this Japanese slave monk crazy?

Renzong didn't look at the monk, he turned his face to look at his ministers, and saw that everyone was surprised and angry, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and the others had already pointed at the Japanese slave monk and said, This thief is arrogant. Only Sima Guang was silent, squinting his eyes and looking at the Japanese slave monk with contempt

Renzong smiled: "You don't need me to answer this, my officials can tell you the result." After speaking, he looked at Ouyang Xiu, this scholar of the knowledge system of Hanlin, at this time, he already had an excellent impression in Renzong's heart. In terms of talent and learning, it is difficult to distinguish from Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, and even former Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan.

Ouyang Xiu saw that Renzong was looking at him, and knew that he wanted to hear his opinion. He stepped forward and stepped out of the queue, saluted Renzong, turned to face the Japanese slave envoy monk and said: "I think that during the Han Dynasty, an island country from the eastern sea area because of the civilization and prosperity of the Han Dynasty, it traveled thousands of miles to cross the sea and mountains to come to the Han Dynasty. ”

He looked around, and some ministers raised their fingers at Lord Ouyang Xiu's knowledge. Kong Xiu said: "It is common to change the dynasty, and now the Central Plains is not also called the Song Dynasty, and the sun rises in the east in my country, why not change it to Japan?" ”

The ministers saw that he was arrogant, and some of the envoys of other countries also said, "Yes, it also makes sense"

Ouyang Xiu sneered, "Then let me ask you, since you say the word Japan, do you know the source?" That is the word 'day' spoken by a woman in the deceased dynasty (Tang Dynasty empress Wu Zetian) If you want to use it, you are also a Japanese country. Where does it come from? ”

In the side hall next to the king, listening to the Japanese characters that this woman was talking about, and thinking of modern people's understanding of Japanese characters, he couldn't help laughing. Above the court, everyone looked left and right, and they didn't know where the laughter came from. The king also laughed out loud and hurriedly restrained it.

Monk Kongxiu was a little annoyed by this and said: "How can the culture of our own country be slandered by other countries? ”

Seeing that he was still not convinced, Renzong said, "Lord Sima, what do you think of the words of this Japanese slave envoy?" ”

Sima Guang glanced at the envoy of the Japanese slave country out of the corner of his eye: "Culture? When Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Chu and Han were fighting, the Japanese slaves were still in a state of knotted ropes, and several or 10 of them lived in a pit thatched hut, and lived by hunting, fishing, and gathering. The best of the Japanese slaves are singing about catching more fish and digging up more wild vegetables. ”

The ministers and envoys of various countries burst into laughter

Sima Guang also said: "When the Han people's "Book of Songs", "Spring and Autumn", "Analects", and "Hundred Schools of Thought" came out, the Japanese slaves were still "wiping the stone axe", "the plain is Guangze, and the king does not come." In Sima Qian's record, Xu Fu took the boys and girls to the grain and hundreds of laborers to educate the Japanese slaves by immigrating in this way, and the Japanese slaves called them "naturalized people". Before the Han people came, the Japanese slaves only had raw fish to eat, and only stone tools were available. ”

Lord Ouyang Xiu is powerful, and Lord Sima Guang is even more mean, and the envoy of the Japanese slave country is red-faced. Ren Zongxin said that the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. If you are still not convinced, monk, the good show is ahead.
