Chapter 665 - Forgery of National Credentials
"Hahaha." Xie Jin snorted and hid the disdain in his eyes. Defect to the king of Britain? All the land of Britain is not as big as Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangsu. If you take refuge in the king of such a small barbarian country, it is better to find a feudal official to do it yourself!
He is a prime minister, and he will definitely be ranked as a prime minister in the future, and he will be managed on behalf of the Son of Heaven, not to mention a boundary the size of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Zhejiang. is also a dignified Chinese person, An can look down on such a barbarian lord. King of Britain? Even if you are a eunuch, I'm afraid you can't look down on it!
Philip and the others didn't really solicit Xie Jin, they just said it casually, and they didn't take it to heart, and they didn't notice the disdain and pride in Xie Jin's expression. Xu felt that this idea was too simple, and Philip was a little suspicious: "Dear Jie, if you really get a fake letter of state, you can deceive the Ming court?" ”
"There are too many wise men among you Han people, I am worried about ......"
"Hahahaha, why should Brother Fei be so worried." Xie Jin smiled. "There is nothing you can do now, why not treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor?"
"The opportunity to taste is not allowed, and Shang's father is sleeping. The opportunity is in front of you, so why not give it a go? Besides, the number of tribute countries in this Fengming Continent must also be limited, if you hesitate, maybe someone else will take the lead? ”
The two red-haired people couldn't understand Xie Jinyin's verses, but they only felt that this sentence was beautiful and profound, and it was higher than those bards in the West, and even the persuasion with the second half of the sentence sounded a little more reasonable. The two glanced at each other, and finally nodded: "Okay, then let's write a national letter first...... Dear Jie, if we can get the passage to Fengming Continent, you will be our forever friend. ”
"Hahahaha, Xie also likes two such bold friends very much!" Xie Jin laughed.
The two immediately gave Xie Jin a lot of money, and issued Xie Jin a document that once he successfully arrived in Fengmingzhou, he would score two percent of the points in Fengmingzhou and Xie Jin. Doing this is to fulfill Fang Cai's promise to Xie Jin, and secondly, to seal the mouth of this money-greedy Oriental scholar with money. After all, forging a letter of state to deceive the imperial court is a great crime, the two nobles just want to make a fortune in the East, but they don't want to die in this place for no reason.
On the second day, they visited Honglu Temple with a forged national letter, and at the gate of Honglu Temple, the soldiers guarding the door saw the two red-haired ghosts in strange costumes coming to entangle again, and their tone was quite unkind: "You two red-haired ghosts, why are you here again?" Didn't His Royal Highness the King of Chu already tell you not to come? ”
"It's not the state envoy who came to our Honglu Temple...... Is it true that our Honglu Temple is dedicated to relieving you barbarians? ”
Philip and Firut had already understood Jin's instructions, so they followed Professor Xie Jin's words last night and said in broken Chinese: "Two heroic soldiers, we did not have a national letter yesterday, but after returning to our residence yesterday, we happened to meet our envoy who came to Daming with a national letter. ”
"You see, this is the one. This is the ambassador of our country......" he said, pulling an entourage dressed as a state envoy with a gold book in both hands and bringing it to the soldiers.
The entourage was originally a slave brought by these two noble lords from the West, and this time they drove ducks to the shelves and pretended to be state envoys, and their clothes were acceptable, but they couldn't hide their shrinking appearance. Philip and Firut were extremely worried, for fear that they would show the two soldiers a clue and directly punish them for the crime of deceiving the Emperor of the East.
However, their apprehension is actually just unfounded, not to mention that in the eyes of these two soldiers, these ugly and scary Western red-haired ghosts are basically ordinary ugly, and they can't tell what kind of expression they have on their faces. Even if they found out that the "ambassador" was unnatural, they would take it for granted that it was because the Western envoy had never seen the world. Originally, there was a king in the place where the barbarian place in the west was big, and he said that he was the king, but he didn't have the same vision as the hillbilly who had never seen the world in the village?
Mo said that he was an ambassador, even if the prince or even the king of that state came to this Yingtianfu and saw the prosperity of the Han family, he would definitely be stunned one by one and forget to return. The two of them have been on errands in Honglu Temple for many years, and what they have seen the most is such a foreign fan who has never seen the world.
The two soldiers looked at it arrogantly for a long time, and finally said with a hard mouth: "Go in, if you have the secretary of state and the envoy, then go to the front hall and wait." ”
"After the credentials have been verified, someone will naturally take you to the National Assembly Hall to wait for the summons."
So Philip and Firut took the "British envoy" into the Honglu Temple, and the national letter was taken by a soldier and forwarded to the Honglu Temple. But what the two of them didn't know was that the book was originally going to be presented to the squire in charge of the relevant function. This time, it was twisted and turned, and it was directly sent to Zhu Su, who was waiting in the inner courtyard.
"Tsk, these Westerners can't even make a fake. I made a British national letter, and the cover that was bought by Hanmotang was used for mounting...... And this ink, Britain is thousands of miles away from my Ming Dynasty, and the ink has not dried all the way? It's really stupid. Zhu Zhen looked at the forged national letter, and his words were full of disgust.
"Squire, is it possible that those Westerners are tempting us?" Zhu Su turned his head and asked one of the attendants beside him.
"It's impossible to go back to Your Highness." The man replied with a respectful expression, which turned out to be Xie Jin, who had advised Philip and Firut yesterday. "These two people are extremely greedy for money and life, because they are afraid of my great guilt, so they will never dare to deliberately expose their flaws to test us."
"From a student's point of view, they ...... It's just a simple counterfeiting technique that is a little clumsy......"
Xie Jin said, and his face also showed a little disdain. He had been ordered to spend time with these Westerners, and he had come to understand the savage, greedy, and selfish and lazy nature of these Westerners. It's obviously a genus of beasts, but he likes to make a proud appearance to show his nobility. It's a pity that the belly is rude and righteous poems, and the face is arrogant, but it is tangible and godless, only hypocrisy, and there is nothing noble to speak of.
They are just barbarians, and I really don't know why His Royal Highness King Zhou wants to treat these Yi people like great enemies and treat them differently.
Zhu Su thought for a while, but finally it became clear: yes, Europe was far inferior to China in all aspects at this time, and it was only when the Renaissance movement began a few years later that the bloody accumulation of capital and the catch-up of the commodity economy began. Before that, all their skills and methods were indeed just a joke that was not worth showing to Huaxia. Even a teenager like Zhu Zhen can't look down on it.
It's just that you don't see these flaws. Zhu Su laughed at himself, and began to look at the contents of the national book.
