Chapter 70: The Fake Princess of Goryeo
Here, Bao Zheng told Emperor Renzong some things in the investigation of the Nine Dragons Cup, and at the same time he could understand the bottom line of Renzong's treatment of Japanese slaves, and went back to tell the king to deal with it.
On the other side, in Huaiyuanyi, Lu Shenyan anxiously waited for the arrival of Wang Bei and the others. In the Song Dynasty, there was a special reception of envoys from various countries in Beijing, and it was specially designed to entertain envoys from various countries. The envoys of various major countries lived in different pavilions, and the envoys of various countries all took pleasure in sending envoys to the Great Song Dynasty.
When the envoys come to visit them, they must first report to the ceremonial room under the Privy Council, and there are specific affairs such as the Honglu Temple and the Guoxin Office to receive these envoys, and the envoys explain the matters of the visit and the duration of their stay. The Privy Council presents a special "post ticket" from the imperial court, and these envoys stay in designated post houses.
In addition to state negotiations, these are purchased on a large scale in Bianliang, and all kinds of daily necessities are in the pocket. Of course, the envoy is not a merchant, and he will have to go back when the day comes. For example, in this New Year's Day court meeting, in previous years, the envoys had passed the third day of the new year to watch the imperial shooting, and the envoys of various countries resigned one after another. This year, Renzong originally wanted to announce the establishment of the crown prince at the time of the court meeting, and specially arranged a centralized farewell to the ambassadors of various countries at the sixth court meeting of the first month.
The ambassadors all left the post house first, and then went on the road after participating in the centralized resignation, so if they don't get some evidence or clues today, it will be difficult to find someone tomorrow when the monk leaves the room.
To say that this empty monk is also lonely enough, the ambassadors of other countries, there are envoys, deputy envoys, and entourage. However, as we said earlier, the Japanese slave state has been in the period of total victory of the Fujiwara aristocracy in recent years, and the Japanese monks entered the Song Dynasty and became the main envoys of the Japanese slaves to the Song Dynasty.
This monk is mostly ascetic, a single day to come to my court, catch up with the pilgrimage to live in the post house, such as this New Year's Day court, but also easy to understand the affairs of other countries, if it is a weekday this monk as a Buddhist exchange, often stop at the temple. The monk is a monk who travels back and forth between the two countries all year round. That's why I am so familiar with the Buddhist policy of the Great Song Dynasty.
Now speaking of Lu Shenyan, what he is anxious about is that if he can't get the evidence today, after the resignation of the court meeting tomorrow, this Japanese slave monk doesn't know how to hide in that temple. Moreover, he also heard from the king that tomorrow this monk may take advantage of the large number of people to make trouble in the court. I wondered what kind of way this boy could come up with to lead that empty rest out.
was pondering, and suddenly saw a man and two women coming in the hall, Lu Shenyan hurriedly greeted them, it was He Libo, Li Enxi and Rouge Tiger. Li Enxi covered his face with a veil, and dressed as a rouge tiger maid.
Lu Shenyan took them to the upper floor of the residence of the monk Kongxiu on the third floor, looked the three of them up and down and asked, "This Japanese slave envoy has not been solved yet, why is there another Goryeo ambassador." ”
He Libo said and took out a name card and handed it to Lu Shenyan, "That monk Ke was in the store?" ”
Lu Shenyan whispered: "I haven't gone out all the time, I slept really loudly yesterday, the snoring was like thunder, and the noise made the little master not sleep well all night." ”
He Libo said: "If you go, just say that the princess of Goryeo has brought an envoy to meet the ambassador of Kongxiu, and she has set up a room for vegetarian food, and there is something important to discuss." ”
Lu Shenyan took care of this up and down, and Li Enxi smiled: "Don't say that it's really similar to such a dress." ”
Rouge Tiger glared and whispered, "Why don't you go quickly?" Lu Shenyan stuck out his tongue and muttered, "The maids are so fierce" After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave the house. I heard Rouge Tiger say, "Hurry up, don't make any noise, and if you hear a cup dropped upstairs, come out quickly." Also, if you succeed, ask what you need. ”
Lu Shenyan heard them say this, and went downstairs to invite the empty monk. Hearing that the Goryeo envoy was coming, Kong Xiu didn't think much about it and prepared to meet him.
There were two reasons why Kong Xiu went to see the princess and the envoy of Goryeo so happily: in the last years of Silla, the Gong descendants of the Silla royal family established the Taefeng Kingdom, and the local tyrant Zhen Xuan of Sangju established the Later Baekje Kingdom. In 918, Wang Jian, the general of the Taifeng Tribe, killed the Gong descendants and established the Goryeo Kingdom, and Buddhism was the state religion of the Goryeo Dynasty.
Second: The only princess of Goryeo is the future imperial concubine of the Fujiwara family, which was revealed by the ambassador who set off to Goryeo with the monk Kongxiu, and it is said that this Goryeo princess is twenty years old, proficient in the language of the Japanese slave fruit and the Han people, and is also the national color of Tianxiang. Thinking of this, Kuxiu walked on his short legs and took broken steps backwards, only hating the long stairs.
Why did they come so late, He Libo went to Kaifeng Mansion early in the morning, and went to wait for Lord Bao to come back with the king. Fortunately, Lord Bao came back early, the emperor is used to getting up early, and the early dynasties of the past dynasties are generally in the Mao time, that is, from 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock Beijing time, and they will go back to their homes to work after the end of the early dynasty.
However, today is not the morning dynasty, and Bao Da will not go to the imperial gate at three or four o'clock in the morning to wait. Even so, it was probably time to talk to Renzong and then return to Kaifeng Mansion. Wang Bian told Master Bao of the plan, and He Libo brought the Kaifeng Mansion token, and when he entered the door, he had already got the spare key in the empty room in the shopkeeper.
Taking advantage of the conversation upstairs, Lu Shenyan gently opened the square lock on the door with the key given by He Libo, and entered the room of the monk Kongxiu, there was a butterfly lock on the cabinet, and then opened the lock, and the cabinet door was opened with a squeak. Lu Shenyan hurriedly listened upstairs, there was still the sound of talking, and he couldn't hear what he was saying clearly. It seems that Lee Eun-hee and Kong Xiu are talking.
This wooden floor is not soundproof, so Lu Shenyan listened to it, and felt that no one should notice, so he opened it and opened a slightly larger cabinet, touched it with his hand, and there was one that included clothes inside, and there were two wooden boxes in the other package. He first looked at the position, the buckle knot, and then lightly took out two wooden boxes, looked at them, and arranged them according to the original position.
Then carefully close the cabinet door and lock it with a butterfly lock. looked around to see if there was no trace, turned around and walked out of the room, and then locked the lock above, with a click, startling Xiao Lu. He said, "Why is this thing so loud?" ”
Thinking so mentally, he put the two keys, one large and one small, went upstairs upstairs, and asked from the outside: "The guest officer in the room, do you still need to add some wine and food?" ”
He Libo opened the door and said, "No need, you can step down." ”
"Well, you guys use it slowly, you can say hello if you need anything." Xiao Lu turned around and went downstairs after speaking.
He Libo received the information and knew that Lu Shen's words were going well, so he gave Li Enxi a look. Who knew that Li Enxi didn't pay attention to him at all, and still didn't know what to say to the monk in the Chinese language.
This Li Enxi will know the Chinese language of He Liban, but seeing that she is pretending to be the princess of the Goryeo Kingdom, He Libo is funny in his heart.
Seeing that the "princess" of the Goryeo Kingdom and the monk of the empty rest talked more and more sadly, He Libo only muttered, this fake princess who pretended to be a Goryeo could not succeed, and turned around to flicker The fake princess is really a monk.
Seeing that the slave monk also sighed, he stretched out his obscene hand, as if he wanted to touch Li Enxi's hand to chat for comfort. He Libo hurriedly coughed violently. Li Enxi had long seen that this Japanese slave was not pleasing to the eye, obviously he was a monk, and he looked confused from the moment he entered the room.
Hearing He Libo's cough, he looked up and looked up, and He Libo, who was sitting on the side without saying a word. I saw him pouting his lips with his chest straight, obviously not understanding what he and Kong Xiu were saying, and pretending to be arrogant and indifferent, and felt funny in his heart. Think about it thanks to the help of He Li, he was able to reach Bianjing.
This Japanese slave country is the same, and he has long heard that the man of the Japanese slave country is shameless in molesting women, and even the monks are this virtue, Li Enxi couldn't help but be annoyed in his heart. Then he asked the monk Wuxiu, "Is the master willing to help me with what I said?" ”
Wu Xiu's face was embarrassed: "I'm just a monk, how can I say that I can move the lord of a country, and I hope that the princess will put the overall situation first." "They look at me and speak the language of the Japanese slave country.
He Libo was a little angry, his face began to redden, he was angry because he didn't know what they were talking about, this Li Enxi didn't finish it quickly. was about to remind Li Enxi again, but suddenly Li Enxi also showed an angry expression, looked at He Libo and Rouge Tiger, and said in Goryeo: "Let's go!" ”
He Libo understands Goryeo, and since they were children, they were born Jurchen people near Goryeo, which is also the border between Liao and Goryeo, so when he met Li Enxi, He Libo knew that she was a Goryeo. But this is not unusual, I am a native of Liao and know some Korean language. It is not unusual for the Koreans to know some Chinese. He was already very arrogant, and he didn't think much about it once he figured it out
The three of them went downstairs and sat in a daze, this Goryeo princess is really young and beautiful, but why don't you want to go to the Japanese slave country to be the imperial concubine. Besides, the Japanese slaves are going to send troops to fight Goryeo, and it doesn't matter if they go back and persuade them not to fight.
At the door of the post station, Xiao Lu was seeing off the guests, and when he saw He Libo and them coming out, he stepped forward and asked loudly: "The three of you are leaving" and bowed his head and said to He Libo: "There are cups and degrees." ”
It's as simple as six words, He Libo already knew, he nodded at the Kaifeng Mansion plainclothes officials who came with him, and those people knew it, and continued to stay and stare at this monk.
In addition to Li Enxi, who came to the capital to look for relatives, Rouge Tiger returned to Meyer Mansion, He Libo went to Kaifeng Mansion, and the three parted ways. Xiao Lu also completed the task, and then followed He Libo to Kaifeng Mansion.
Wang Pan and Master Bao were talking, and when they saw that the two of them were coming, they knew that things were going well, Xiao Lu told Master Bao what he had found, and asked, "Why didn't you catch the monk on the spot?" ”
The king said: "Catch him casually, tomorrow he will confess that he does not know the contents of the cabinet, or that he does not know about the Nine Dragons Cup, although he has the time to do it, but there is no proof that he has resold it." How to deal with it? ”
Lu Shenyan and He Libo looked at each other, and what Wang said was reasonable, but he also felt angry when he watched the Japanese slave envoy monk go free.
Wang next to the smile slightly: "Tomorrow, the master is free to let the slave obediently take out the treasure." ”
