Chapter 152: The Song Family

"Yes, please rest assured, this is not difficult."

"Oh", Emperor Long Zheng suddenly became curious. The errand of Honglu Temple is thankless.

Da Zheng was powerful and had a high prestige among the neighboring states. Perhaps in the north, because of the emergence of Russia and the existence of the Manchus, the Mongol tribes are now somewhat antipathetic. However, with the war in Northern Xinjiang two years ago, it has become much more honest.

The remaining eastern, western, and southern three countries, dozens of countries adhere to the tradition of triennial tribute to Shenjing. Whoever dares to disrespect China and the DPRK will inevitably be questioned by the two fleets of Dazheng Donghai and the South China Sea.

Da Zheng is not the Zhao Song of his previous life, and he can't do the disgusting thing of serving the envoy as the emperor. However, the great pilgrimage of the envoys of the Fanguo Kingdom to Shenjing once every three years is still a matter of scratching their heads.

The settlement of the envoys of Fanguo, the determination of the order of the court, the arrangement of the collection of tributes and return gifts, and the various contradictions and problems of the envoys of Fanguo. It has always been a headache for the officials in charge of Honglu Temple.

Da Zheng started from the reckless, and has always pursued the coming dynasty of all countries, and now the international environment of Da Zheng is relatively complicated. The West has already begun a great voyage. Naturally, it is impossible to rely on force to intimidate the envoys like in the Tang Dynasty.

The most important point is that although the handling of tributary matters is not weighty, it is cumbersome, and it involves the decency of the imperial court, which should not be neglected.

"So it's not a good job, you know? Don't take it lightly, just now in the Daming Palace, some courtiers said to me that the country's diplomatic relations cannot be handed over to a child like you. ”

Empress Song and Yuan Chun next to her were a little surprised when they heard this. Hearing this, the emperor arranged an errand for Jia Lian to receive the delegations of various countries to the court.

Yuan Chun hurriedly stood up and said, "Emperor, Brother Lian is young, how can he take on such an important task. Please also ask the emperor to take back his fate. ”

Yuanchun is really nervous, although Jia Lian has risen rapidly in recent years, and he has helped the Jia family's ancestral business that is gradually declining. But in Yuan Chun's impression, Jia Lian's talents are mainly in business and martial arts.

With such an important court affair, can Jia Lian do it?

After listening to Yuan Chun's words, Emperor Long Zheng looked at Jia Lian with a smile: "Jia Lian, you heard what Concubine Jia said, what did you say?" ”

"The emperor's golden words can be changed overnight."

"Haha, that's right, the decree was given. . ”

Jia Lian left, Queen Song looked at Yuan Chun's worried look, and asked very considerately for her: "Emperor, what do you think?" ”

Emperor Long Zheng looked at Yuan Chun's expression and laughed: "At the beginning, Jia Lian came to the palace to find me, saying that he was going to set up a winery to produce good wine, and he planned to partner with me.

I agreed, and took 40% of the shares. Later, a few months' dividends amounted to 200,000 taels of silver, which was amazing.

Now that the court has promised to move my money bag, of course I am not happy.

But don't worry, your brother is far from being in the pool. I sent him down to Jiangnan to try him.

At that time, I also arranged other means to protect Lin Aiqing's safety. I didn't expect that the group of thieves in Mingjiao was much more rampant than I thought, and they dared to attack the court officials with open fire.

If it weren't for Jia Lian's proper handling, Lin Aiqing would have been almost killed. I'm still terrified when I think about it. ”

Looking at Yuan Chun, whose face looked a lot better, Emperor Long Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, the matter is over." Concubine Ai won't leave tonight, I want to try one dragon and two phoenixes. ”

After speaking, Emperor Long Zheng didn't care about Yuan Chun, who was flushed, and looked at his queen with disgust, and left with a laugh.

As the Son of Heaven, of course, now is not the time for him to indulge himself.

When Jia Lian left the palace, it was already the end of the hour, that is, about seven o'clock in the morning. After thinking about it, Jia Lian decided not to go back to the house, go eat something, and then go directly to Song's house.

Although the business atmosphere of Shenjing today is not as good as that of Tianjin, in addition to the east and west cities, each fang also has its own business district.

There are also Changle Fang in the east city and Pingkang Fang in the south city, and the whole square has become a special commercial area.

The Song family lived in Tongjifang in Dongcheng, Jia Lian came to Dongcheng, sent Qing'er to the Song family with his name sticker, and found a teahouse to ask for some breakfast while waiting.

Just as he was looking out the window and thinking about things, Jia Lian suddenly heard a strange and familiar language. Jia Lian frowned and thought for a long time, and finally remembered, this should be Japanese.

When I first went to university, I wanted to be able to read Japanese movies, after all, there were many movies that didn't have subtitles. So Jia Lian took a Japanese language course, and he studied very seriously, going to more than the required courses.

So although many years have passed, Jia Lian can still understand a rough idea. However, it was precisely this probability that made Jia Lian's face more and more serious.

"Satsuma, the two great clans of Choshu are ready. Once this time it's done. Then the coalition forces will attack the DPRK at once. ”

Although the other voice was also speaking Japanese, Jia Lian could clearly feel that it was Zheng Ren: "Mr. Hashimoto, you are ready, and when the North Korean mission arrives, everything will be in order."

I ask Hashimoto-sama to reply to the great general, the Dazheng Imperial Court and the East China Sea Fleet will definitely not become a roadblock to the general's grand cause. ”

……

Jia Lian couldn't hear what they said next, but soon the two people came out of the private room next door. Jia Lian hurriedly followed, and sure enough, one was a Japanese slave outfit, and the other was a Zheng costume.

The most important thing is that Jia Lian actually knows this Zheng person.

It seems that this errand is not easy to do.

"Master, the sticker has been sent to the Song family, you can go." Jia Lian was thinking about things and was thinking about it, and Qing'er came back to report the news.

"Qing'er, you go back to the house immediately, find Mr. Tongueless, and just say......" Jia Lian explained a few words to Qing'er, and asked him to go back to the house to find Tongueless.

Then he shook his head and quickly ate the already cold early. Then I thought about the situation of the Song family that I knew.

The Song family is currently in charge of Mr. Song's widow, and Mrs. Song has been with Song Lian all her life, living in poverty.

Later, her daughter married into the heavenly family, and the Song family gradually became rich, and the old lady never allowed the Song family to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. Although Empress Song sent several letters, and even Emperor Longzheng issued a special decree, the old lady did not enter Beijing, but stayed in Jiangnan with her two sons to live.

If it weren't for Song Lian's death, the eldest of the Song family would have been admitted to the lifting of people. After the end of filial piety, I want to enter Beijing to participate in the palace examination, I am afraid that the old lady will not agree to enter Beijing.

The Song family now lives in Dongcheng, and both sons have entered the Guozijian to study, and they are admitted to the Eight Classics. Empress Song once proposed to give her younger brother a few places, but the old lady did not accept it.

The Wenchen Group has always been wary of foreign relatives, and the Tian family, the mother family of the Queen Mother, has become a famous negative example. In contrast, relatives like the Song family were almost the most popular among the ministers.

Empress Song's fame grew day by day.
