On this day, the envoys of the Wa Kingdom came to Xing Shangshu's mansion, and Na Pingqingsheng and Yuan Yoshio also acted as guards and followed by his side.

When they saw the envoys groveling and flattering and begging, they couldn't help but feel angry in their hearts, and snorted indignantly, only to feel that these officials had greatly lost the face of the Yamato nation, the Japanese Empire, and His Majesty the Emperor!

The deputy envoy of the Wa Kingdom heard the dissatisfied humming of the samurai behind him, and his heart was shocked, this Taira and Genji can be relied on by the emperor at this time, if he goes back and says two bad words, his career will be over, he is a little annoyed in his heart, this is a big deal, naturally you have to be humble and polite, how can you be the same as your martial arts? Duel at every turn?

He squinted at Xing Shangshu and saw that he was squinting and smiling, as if he was very dissatisfied with the voice of dissatisfaction.

The deputy envoy breathed a sigh of relief and said in his heart: After all, he is a powerful official of a big country, and his mind is broad. Continuing Xing Shangshu's words, he said humbly: "Master Xing said that there is still a turnaround? The petty officer didn't understand, so please give me advice. Listening to the tone of this deputy envoy, it is obvious that he not only understands Chinese culture, but is also very proficient.

Xing Shangshu laughed, leaned sideways, and made a gesture of coming over with his ears, and the deputy envoy bowed his waist and pasted it......

The so-called turning point of criminal forgiveness, in fact, is not profound, the prince of the Japanese committed a crime in Gusu, was locked up in the Gusu prison, although he is in the criminal department of Shangshu, higher than the prefect of Gusu, but the Confucian tradition, not in his position does not seek his government, Gusu affairs, naturally by the officials of Gusu to solve, the court of the bigwigs generally can not interfere, otherwise it is greedy, power, power-grabbing...... Get ready to be attacked by the Imperial Observatory's advisors, the so-called Shilin Qingyi!

And the ministers have always been a royal taboo. Naturally, the criminal master will not feel uncomfortable with himself casually, but this matter is strange, and the person who committed the crime is his prince, which is a major matter related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. How can a state governor afford it? Therefore, the criminal lord thought that he would first get the prince of the Japanese prince to the prison of the criminal department, and then ......

"Then as long as the sincerity is enough, the prince will be released by the Ministry of Punishment." When the deputy envoy heard this, he naturally thought of it, his eyes lit up, and he bowed again and again and exclaimed: "Your Excellency is clever, your Excellency is clever......

……………………………………………………………………………………

Just when Zhao Fuan went to Yangzhou Chenfu to pass on the official's hand, the criminal department really sent someone to Gusu, and the eunuch of the inner palace passed the emperor's holy decree, brought out the prince of the Japanese king, and escorted him back to the imperial city.

Lin Tian's brigade marched, the speed was not fast, they only held one prince, but it was relatively fast, because they arrived in Kaifeng three days earlier than Lin Tian.

Outside the gate of Kaifeng, the envoys of the Wa Kingdom went out to greet them, and the ronins who asked for their lives also greeted their princes. At that time, the prince was locked in a prison car, and although he was not tortured, he was also mentally exhausted and embarrassed. Seeing that their eyes were red, they wept incessantly.

When did the ronin get reused? Only His Majesty the Emperor Shirakawa! Prince Linghe was His Majesty's favorite son, and they felt that their opportunity to serve His Majesty the Emperor had come.

A few people with hot brains were about to rush up to rob the prisoner car with their bare hands, but as a result, those forbidden soldiers, as soon as their spears were crossed, those few people rushed to a hedgehog wall.

Fortunately, these ronins are fierce and ruthless, and their skills are good, and they can actually stop the momentum, but they can't help but shudder when they see those cold spear heads. At last he obediently went back to his knees, and sent the prince into the city......

But the prince of Linghe, who suffered in a foreign country, saw so many fellow ronin, he knew that the spirit of the ronin is the most important in bushido, and there is a kind of perverted warrior who can be killed and humiliated, and now in order to save him, he actually did not hesitate to bend down and kneel, and his heart was moved, and secretly said: Father, it is good, the roin samurai land, the royal family can be trusted!

It is said that the Lord of the Punishment Shu extorted and exploited the Japanese envoys, and the treasures and goods he made were discounted into nearly 30 million taels of silver, which was worth two percent of the household income.

When Cai did hear this number, he was also stunned, a prince went on an envoy and carried so much property with him, how rich this country must be!

Then he woke up from his exclamation, and this special code is all credit! So I excitedly went to meet the official's family. Zhao Ji trusted him a lot, and said before that Zuo Xiang didn't need to be notified when he came.

But Cai is very good at being a man, and every time he sees Zhao Ji, he will ask him to meet. This time was no exception. While Zhao Ji shook his head, he also secretly felt that Cai really kept his duty as a courtier, and it was wiser to let him be the prime minister.

When Zhao Ji learned that nearly 30 million taels of silver had been credited to his account, he was also shocked and gasped, looked at Cai Qu's account book again and again, and after making sure that there was no omission, he muttered: "This is ...... This country is so rich? ”

Cai did not know much about the Wa Kingdom, but he also knew that some maritime merchants in the coastal areas were rich and rival the country, and every time they went to sea, they came back with real money for the whole ship. And the Wa Kingdom is a place where maritime merchants go often.

Zhao Ji was silent when he heard this, he didn't know what he was thinking, Cai did take a sneak look, and saw that there was a faint silver light flashing in the young emperor's eyes, he couldn't be clearer, it was the color of greed!

In fact, the pair of monarchs and ministers did not know that the Wa Kingdom was far less rich than the Great Song Dynasty at this time, and the contradictions between the old nobles and the new samurai groups in the country were acute, and there was a great tendency to erupt.

The reason why the envoys brought a large amount of silver money was because although the resources of the Wa Kingdom were scarce, the gold and silver mines were very rich, and the many things were cheap, and the great Song Dynasty maritime merchants sold all kinds of commodities here, and the things of the Song Dynasty were one or two, because of the scarcity of things here, and the flood of gold and silver, the profits were more than five times, some were in demand, and it was not uncommon for them to be ten times and dozens of times. This Prince Linghe came to the Great Song Dynasty for the first time, admired the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, and he was the most loved by Emperor Baihe, so he naturally carried countless gold and silver with him.

This time he sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, with no other intention than to hope that the two countries would abandon their differences and form friendly neighbors, although the two countries were separated by a major sea.

The national letters they carried had naturally been presented to the emperor, and Lin Tian's scolding of the Japanese people on Gusu City exposed their wolf ambitions and bad intentions, and naturally entered Zhao Ji's ears. Zhao Ji thought it was true, and Cai Qu and other confidants of the Fa Reform faction also felt that it was quite worth being vigilant.

The Song Dynasty was established in the darkest period of Chinese history, when the courtiers and the common people retained a deep wariness and hostility towards foreign races, and always habitually liked to think "just in case......
