Chapter 542: In the Road
"Wa people?" He Taiping thought for a while, "I remembered, at the beginning of the establishment of my Great Chu Dynasty, all kinds of wastes were waiting to be revived, His Majesty Taizong worked hard, and my Great Chu became thriving." Some small overseas countries once sent envoys to say that they admired my great Chu prosperous era. The envoys came with a lot of gifts to pay tribute, and everything seemed very sincere. But because of one thing, His Majesty Taizong was annoyed, and then the small overseas countries came to pay tribute every year, so ten years later, His Majesty Taizong accepted the exchanges between the people of this country and my Great Chu people. ”
Wei Yaoqing nodded: "That small overseas country, the people of Great Chu call it the Wa Kingdom, and the first thing that came to my Dachu from overseas is the southeast county of my Dachu, so the southeast county can be said to have gathered the largest number of Japanese people in Dachu, in addition to the southeast county, the place where the remaining Japanese people are concentrated is Chang'an City, which contains people from all over the world and even Hu people and overseas." But in general, there are not many Japanese people in Chang'an City. ”
He Taiping thought for a while, and slapped his head suddenly: "I remember, the reason why the Wa Kingdom angered His Majesty Taizong was because their king sent envoys to come at that time and brought a handwritten letter, and the first sentence was' The Son of Heaven at sunrise sent a letter to the Son of Heaven at sunrise, and the Son of Heaven is everywhere on the day, and he is fine, so His Majesty Taizong was furious." ”
"Not bad." Wei Yaoqing said, "Judging from the map from Great Chu to the Wa Kingdom, the Wa State is located east of the Great Chu, so there is this saying. But at sunrise, the sun rises, which means upward, and at sunset, when the sun sets, it means downward. This sentence will not be endured by any Son of Heaven, let alone His Majesty Taizong? Therefore, at that time, His Majesty Taizong was angry, and in the next ten years, the Wa Kingdom sent envoys every year, and His Majesty Taizong gradually subsided his anger. However, because of this, the emperors of the Great Chu royal family seem to be somewhat dislike the people of the Wa Kingdom. There were Hu people and Persian merchants in the palace, but no one from the Japanese people could enter the palace. ”
"But there is still a difference between the ninjutsu of the Wa Kingdom and the heavenly punishment in my Great Chu Yin-Yang Technique, and those few who escaped by the fire of the Five Elements should be out-and-out Yin-Yang Warlocks, using Heavenly Punishment, which is different from ninjutsu."
He Taiping fell into deep thought.
……
……
In the morning, Chang'an City began a new day's work, and a new batch of shops such as food shops that do business during the day on the prosperous road of Huangtiandao have opened their doors to prepare for a new day's business, and the Qinglou that does the skin and meat business at night has also begun to close.
In the best part of Huangtian Road, the famous Qinglou Huixian Pavilion in Chang'an is not as lifeless as in the past, and it is not until the afternoon that the girl gets up to wash. Today, the girl in the Qinglou seems to be in good spirits, and it is probably a rare day to rest, many of the windows of the rooms facing the street are opened, and the dressed prostitutes seem to be in good spirits sitting by the window, overlooking the Huang Tiandao who comes and goes, and gradually becomes lively.
Yesterday, the business was not done, so I had a rare good night's sleep, and now many girls are up and walking around in good spirits.
The people began to get busy, and the imperial city was also the busiest time of the day. There are many carriages at the gate of the imperial city, and the officials who come to the court or are on duty in the imperial city are about to start going to the court, and the officials on duty are on duty.
The officials were released through the inspection of the officers and soldiers at the gate of the imperial city, and then walked into the imperial city. Glancing at the official who was walking straight not far away, without squinting.
He Taiping.
It seems that he handed over the fold to the court. Not to mention anything else, just to say one thing, He Taiping had to come, that is, the body of the county lord of Qingyang was burned to that in the mansion. Throughout the ages, people have died greatly, not to mention that the royal family attaches great importance to the custom of burial, and the project of the imperial mausoleum is so huge.
Wei Yaoqing paused at her feet, and watched He Taiping leave, this time no matter what the reason, He Taiping will have to take care of him.
Wei Yaoqing stood in place for a moment, ready to turn to the Yin and Yang Division as usual. Only this time, there was a cough behind him. The cough was half-true, more like it was trying to get her attention.
Wei Yaoqing stopped, turned around, and looked at the people, Old Lady Wang paced over, walking without hurry. Wei Yaoqing looked up at the sky: It's still early, no wonder Mrs. Wang is so leisurely.
stepped forward and gave a salute, whether it was grade, age or seniority, this gift was acceptable to the old lady Wang.
Probably on the main road of the imperial city, there are many officials coming and going, but the old lady Wang is very measured, not as cunning and difficult as in private: "The old man heard about yesterday's incident, and the old man went to bed early, otherwise he would have to come in person." ”
What is the ...... Anyway, she wouldn't believe it, and that inexplicable steward wouldn't do it without the approval of the old lady Wang.
The girl looked at Mrs. Wang, thought about it seriously, and spoke: "Mrs. Wang, it doesn't hurt if you have anything you want to ask. ”
Old lady Wang nodded, expressing his satisfaction with her cooperation, and approached her to lower her voice and speak: "What happened to the Chang'an Mansion last night?" While being chased and killed, he was set on fire. After a pause, the old lady Wang squinted at her and said with a bit of meaning, "It seems that it is a great thing, it has poked people's sore feet." ”
Wei Yaoqing spread her hands, and glanced at the officials who couldn't stop looking over here helplessly: "This matter...... It's a long story......"
"Let's make a long story short." Mrs. Wang picked up quickly.
"To cut a long story short!" The girl spread her hands, "Lord He Taiping will definitely mention it in the court today, and the old lady Wang will know at that time." ”
This is the same as not saying it, Old Lady Wang frowned, and was about to speak, when he saw the girl winking at him: "Lord He will find me if he investigates the case in a good manner, and Old Lady Wang should be able to guess one or two about this matter." ”
"It has something to do with you Yin-Yang Warlocks again?" Old lady Wang asked rhetorically, there was some playfulness in her tone, but it was not a mockery, "The Yin-Yang Division is called a noble place because Yin-Yang Warlocks deal with ghosts and gods, don't deal with people, and don't get involved in mundane things, but during this time, it seems that there is a Yin-Yang Warlock in everything?" ”
"Yin Yang Warlocks are first and foremost individuals, not ghosts and gods, and naturally they also have thoughts of seven emotions and six desires, which is not surprising." The girl backhanded, and a flame was jumping in her palm, "It's just that the way is different from ordinary people, and it looks a little scary." ”
"And is this time scary?" Old lady Wang looked around, the steps of the officials around him were much faster, no longer as comfortable as before, it was almost time for the morning dynasty, and he turned to the girl who was playing with fire again, "Is there such a great way to make waves as you?" ”
"I don't have any skills, and I don't dare to come out and make waves." The girl rolled her eyes, and without waiting for him to continue speaking, she gave a salute, "Old lady, the time is almost up, today my Yin Yang Division Great Heavenly Master will appear in the Yin and Yang Division, this time on duty can not be delayed by half a minute, old lady, you should also leave quickly!" ”
After that, Shi Shiran left.
Old lady Wang looked at her back and was silent for a moment, then laughed twice, shook his head, and quickened his steps, it was almost time to go to the court.
