Whether it is the Han family or not, Lin Tian has not much interest now. Zhao Fuan mentioned the recent interesting story of Kaifeng.

It turned out that those ronins of the Wa Kingdom had been kneeling outside Kaifeng City and pleading for more than ten days. Their envoys also knelt outside the palace every day to ask for a meeting, but since the official family lost his temper before the Lantern Festival, and the civil and military officials were not allowed to mention this matter, no one spoke for them.

The prince of Dongying, who was imprisoned in the Gusu prison, was the emperor's favorite youngest son, and those envoys did not dare to hide it, and at the same time that a group of ronins gathered in Kaifeng to beg, they transmitted the news back to China.

These envoys have always dealt with the sight between the two countries, and they have some way to deal with the ministers of the imperial court, and sure enough, under the opening of the way of Dongying beauties and gold and silver treasures, they met Lord Lu of the Imperial Historical Observatory and Lord Han of the Ministry of Rites......

It is said that Cai did get Zhao Ji's vague touch, knowing the intentions of the official family, he can sit firmly on the throne of the prime minister, all by the trust of the official family, don't look at him as the left minister, a bit of a person under the meaning of ten thousand people, in fact, without the trust of the official family, he is nothing.

The forces of the Han clan and the Lu clan are so huge, without the nod of the official family, they still can't sit in the phase. This is probably some tacit understanding reached by the Zhao, Han, and Lu families silently.

For Zhao Ji, after the Han and Lu families recognized that he wanted to change, they gave birth to the decision to eradicate it, although they were united in this matter, but in other things, such as competing for the power resources of the imperial court, there were contradictions between them, the phase of the Song Dynasty, the position was high and powerful, once it was successful, all the civil and military officials in the court could be replaced!

Just like Wang Anshi's ascension to the throne, as a result, above the court, the real power departments, such as the household department, the official department, the criminal department, etc., were all replaced by reformaries within two years.

These are the rules of the game unique to this dynasty.

The envoys of the Wa Kingdom always knew that the Han family and the Lu family were extremely powerful in the Great Song Dynasty, and thought that if they found those two, they would definitely succeed immediately, but as a result, a lot of things were sent out, and they didn't get a piece of news.

It turned out that at this time, the Han family and the Lu family happened to get the matter that Lin Tian wanted to go to the Chen Mansion in Yangzhou. I deal with this matter with all our energy.

The envoys of the Japanese kingdom ate the closed door, in this foreign country, a big country, and the resentment in their hearts was difficult to develop, so they drank some stuffy wine in the Honglu Temple, only hoping that the emperor would send a master, just in case, he had taken extraordinary measures to rob the prince, in short, how could the prince of my Yamato nation be locked up in a prison in another country?

The alcohol content of the Great Song Dynasty is much higher than that of Japanese sake, and although the taste is pure cotton and soft, it is full of stamina.

At that time, there happened to be a small official from Honglu Temple who was adding wine to the side, and when this little official heard their drunken words, he couldn't help but sneer.

The envoys were sneered at and very angry, and one by one grabbed the collar on the chest of the little official, and asked drunkly: "Baga, what are you laughing at!" ”

The little official was fearless, and said disdainfully: "Who in the capital doesn't know, it is our Cai Xiangye who speaks in the court, you don't go to see him, but what Ministry of Rites do you go to visit?" Goshidai? What can these 'petty officials' accomplish in name only? ”

These envoys were so disdainfully laughed at by this little official, not only did they not get angry, but they were overjoyed, and they only felt that the willows and flowers were bright and another village, and it took no effort to get them.

The envoy, who had been rude to the little official just now, immediately let go of his hand, took two steps back, bowed with some drunkenness, and said in a deep voice: "My land, thank you for your advice!" ”

For several days, these envoys took turns to visit Cai Xiang and Xing Shangshu, and as usual, when the treasures were sent to the unknown number, they finally got a reply from the criminal department Shangshu and the criminal master, "This thing is not easy to do, although this official is the secretary of the criminal department, but this is a local case......"

Those envoys immediately sensible filial piety, Master Xing frowned, "But it's not without a turnaround......

When those envoys saw him talking like squeezing toothpaste, they secretly scolded these Song Dynasty officials in their hearts. , not a good thing! But he is not idle in his hands, and all good things are honored.

The criminal lord took a look at the posture of the Japanese people at the expense of blood, and secretly speculated in his heart: I heard that he caught a prince, and this prince is very much loved by their emperor!

Because he and Cai did want to squeeze them, they also took some trouble to check some news about the Wa Kingdom in recent years, and there are now two emperors in the Wa Kingdom, one is the old emperor Shirakawa who abdicated the year before last, and the other is the son of Emperor Horikawa, who succeeded him to the throne.

However, Emperor Horikawa was actually just a puppet, and Emperor Shirakawa continued to listen to the government as the empress, and in order to counter the old aristocratic forces of the upper echelons of the Wa Kingdom who were pro-Song, he began to implement the imperial government system, and brought the samurai group into the government.

The samurai of the north, who lived on the north side of the palace of Emperor Shirakawa, served as the emperor's guard, and directly obeyed the orders of Emperor Shirakawa, and consisted of two major samurai families, namely the Taira clan and the Genji clan.

This time, in order to save the prince, Emperor Shirakawa sent two masters of the northern samurai, Hei Qing Sheng of the Taira clan, and Genji Minamoto Yoshio. These two Gu are the top masters who have become famous in Dongying's country.

These two men are absolutely subservient to Emperor Shirakawa, but there are also contradictions between them. The two of them did not agree with each other from the country of Wa to the sea, after riding the wind and waves, landed in Hangzhou, and rushed to Gusu non-stop, outside the city of Gusu, they checked the big palm print left by Lin Tian, at this time the big palm print has actually repaired a small pavilion, next to a stone tablet, the stele noted what happened, greatly praised the spirit of the lord of the forest gate, Lin Tian did not see, if he saw it, he of the earth fairy, he also had to be red-faced, and wanted to find a hole to drill.

The two of them looked at the big palm print, and their hearts were shocked, not because they were afraid, but because they thought: It turns out that the prince has provoked such a master, no wonder he wants us to come forward!

The two glanced at each other, and Gu Du looked humble to each other. The two then rushed to Kaifeng non-stop.

Naturally, they would not kneel outside the city like those ronin, and when he came to the outside of the city with two horses, their Japanese samurai dress had already attracted the attention of the officers and soldiers on the city wall, and those ronin samurai who also noticed them.

These two people were not rampant, and after being stopped by the officers and soldiers guarding the city, they respectfully showed the letter of Emperor Dongying. The officers and soldiers did not dare to stop it, but in extraordinary times, they did not dare to enter Chengli like this, just in case, it was better to be cautious. So he sent a subordinate and hurried to Honglu Temple to report. In the end, with the approval of the adults of Honglu Temple and the envoys of the Wa Kingdom, these two entered Kaifeng City.

This angelic minister came to Xing Shangshu's mansion, and the two of them also acted as guards and followed by their side.
