Although at this time, the Japanese benzene was equivalent to the subject country of the Great Song Dynasty and its status was not high, but after all, it involved foreign countries, and the officials of Honglu Temple did not dare to hide it, so they immediately handed the excerpt to Zhao Yu and played the matter.

When Zhao Yu saw the excerpt, he was quite happy.

In the conversation after Du Jinning's examination, he told him about the significance of diplomatic relations with Japan and Bangzi and the influence on the Great Song Dynasty.

And the last time Zhao Chang went to Runzhou, the words that Du Jinning said to him also reached Zhao Ming's ears through the mouth of the imperial guard.

Now the monks of the Japanese benzene continue to come to the Great Song Dynasty to learn the scriptures, but the Great Song Dynasty can not use this matter to exert influence on the Japanese benzene, after all, the Buddhist scriptures and Buddhism have a complete system, and people come to learn the scriptures, but also to ask the monks of the Great Song Dynasty how to understand the Buddhist scriptures.

Even if the monks of the Great Song Dynasty were willing to help, what would they help? Change the ancestor of Buddhism, Shakyamuni, to the Great Song Dynasty, and let the Japanese monks believe in the Buddhism of the Great Song Dynasty? Are you kidding! The Great Song Dynasty is not a stick country.

If Taoism can go abroad and influence foreign countries, he can support Taoism and even turn Taoism into a state religion. But the influence of Taoism in the Great Song Dynasty was not as good as Buddhism, let alone going abroad.

But the tea ceremony is different. China is the origin of the tea tree, Lu Yu's "Book of Tea" led tea to the art of tasting, and Du Jinning put forward the theory of tea ceremony. Tea art and tea ceremony originated in the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Japanese monks have a strong interest in it, which shows that it is very promising. As long as it is used properly, it can be used as a medium to influence countries such as Japanese benzene and sticks. The blueprint that Du Jinning looked forward to after the palace test, as well as the prospects he told Zhao Chang, are now showing clues, and they are likely to become a reality.

This made Zhao Yu very excited.

He couldn't sit still at the imperial table, got up and walked around the hall a few times, and then instructed Gonggong Wu: "Lord Xuanqi is here." ”

When Qi Bokun came, he showed him the excerpt and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Qi Bokun was stunned and asked Zhao Yu: "Could it be that the emperor plans to let Du Jinning go to Japan to spread the tea ceremony?" ”

"No, no, no." Zhao said, "You misunderstood what I meant. How could I be so confused and send Du Jinning over? ”

If Du Jinning proposed to go to Runzhou at the beginning, Zhao Yu was still skeptical of her proposal for the great cause of no hunger in the world. But now that early rice has been successfully planted in Runzhou, the grain yield per mu has directly doubled, which has proved that her words are not bragging, and Zhao Yu is completely convinced of Du Jinning's talent in agriculture, not to mention that Du Jinning also gave him many high-level suggestions such as developing commerce and establishing a national bank.

In his eyes, Du Jinning has become an existence with the same ability as Qi Bokun and these old ministers. As long as he vigorously cultivates, after Qi Bokun and these old ministers become officials, Du Jinning can become his right-hand man.

How could he send such a person to Niben?

What if Ribenzen envelops Du Jinning, and Du Jinning decides to stay there and never come back? This is not only a big loss for the Great Song Dynasty, people like Du Jinning stay there, and it is very likely that Japanese benzene will develop into a powerful country that can threaten the Great Song Dynasty. One eliminates the other, and the Great Song Dynasty is in danger.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to send Du Jinning abroad.

Qi Bokun breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought the same as Zhao Yu.

As long as Du Jinning is not sent, he naturally has no objection to this matter: "This is a good thing, it can strengthen our control over Japanese benzene." ”

"Who should we send?" Zhao Yu summoned Qi Bokun to come, and he was the one to discuss the candidate.

Qi Bokun thought for a moment.

Du Jinning doesn't have to think about it, Zhao Chang must also be excluded.

What if Zhao Chang's heart to seize the throne does not die, he goes to Japan, borrows Japanese troops to fight back to the Great Song Dynasty, and seizes the throne of the Great Song Dynasty? Supporting a Great Song Emperor who is close to his country, presumably Ribenz is very happy, maybe Zhao Chang has no dissent, and they will also encourage him to do so.

Even if Zhao Chang has no dissent, he is a prince. If Ribenzen detains him and threatens him to negotiate terms with Da Song, what will Da Song do? Can Zhao Yu show a cold-blooded side, ignoring his own brothers? can cut the land and ask for a brother, and he will also have to bear the infamy. If his reputation is ruined, the family will use this to attack him, and it will be difficult for him to control the government.

So send Zhao Chang to Japan, you don't have to think about this kind of thing.

Du Jinning and Zhao Chang, the two most famous founders and advocates of the tea ceremony, can't go, so who else can send them?

Officials are not easy to send, preferably civilian......

Thinking about it this way, Qi Bokun thought of three people.

He asked Zhao Yu: "Lu Jiuyuan, Shi Xiu, and Peng Shicheng, who used to be Du Jinning's teacher, and later promoted Xinxue together, and now they advocate the tea ceremony together, what do you think, Your Majesty?" ”

Zhao Yu nodded: "Yes." "As long as it's not Du Jinning and Zhao Chang, nothing else matters.

It's just that you can't send Zhao Chang to say this, and you can't say it from his mouth.

He said, "I'll leave this matter to you." ”

"Yes, the minister will do it." When Qi Bokun withdrew, he sent a message to the ministers of the same camp as him.

This is all an old routine, and everyone is familiar with it. The next day, Zhao Yu asked the minister to discuss the excerpt of Honglu Temple, and Honglu Temple Qing proposed that Lu Jiuyuan and others go to Japan; Qi Bokun proposed to send the monks of the Great Song Dynasty, and the two sides quarreled.

In general, as soon as someone comes up with a solution, everyone's thinking will follow. What's more, this is a matter that only has benefits and no disadvantages in the Great Song Dynasty, so the family didn't think about it, but subconsciously wanted to refute Qi Bokun, and also proposed the family's own candidate. These people are the children of a family who followed Zhao Chang to tinker with the tea ceremony, but their reputation is not obvious.

The status of Lu Jiuyuan and the three of them in the tea ceremony world is undoubted, whether it is the monks of the Great Song Dynasty or the children of the family, they are not very competitive in front of them. What's more, they were proposed by Honglu Siqing, which made the family more acceptable.

So they quarreled for a while, and finally, as Zhao Yu and Qi Bokun expected, the family finally agreed to send Lu Jiuyuan, who had no political leanings, to Japan to promote the Great Song Dynasty tea ceremony.

The Holy Purpose was brought to Runzhou by Gonggong Jin, a well-known eunuch, the next day.

Du Jinning was overjoyed.

This move, she has been laying out for so long, and finally achieved her wish.

Lu Jiuyuan and the others were sincerely afraid: "How could the emperor think of sending us?" ”

The three of them were originally mountain chiefs or gentlemen in the local academy, and they were considered small people. Even if he later followed Du Jinning to make a name for himself in the Confucian and tea ceremony circles, he felt that he was still far from the imperial power.

Now that they were suddenly sent by the emperor to Japan, they were honored but also uneasy; In addition, because he has never been abroad, he is afraid of a strange country.
