Retranslation, as the name suggests, is to be translated through several languages, at this time in the late fourteenth century, except for religious reasons such as Muslims who made pilgrimages to Mecca, such as Ma He's father and grandfather. Then there are the merchants who are driven by the huge profits of maritime merchants, and anyone who knows a foreign Chinese language has many ways out. The retranslation building is three floors high, each floor has dozens of wings, and the whole floor is claimed to have 99 private rooms, which can accommodate more than 2,000 people at the same time. At night, the lights were bright, and merchants from all over the world were seated, and the reserved banquet was pushed into each chamber by cart.

Today, the thirteen top wings on the top floor were all wrapped up by the prince of the mocking Xian Kingdom, saying that it was to celebrate the birthday of the queen of the mocking Xian Kingdom, and the prince Li Fangren was now shuttling through the various chambers to greet the visitors, and he had seen the prince of Champong, and deliberately arranged the people from the Annan Kingdom in other wings, so as not to meet and fight. The northerners lined up in one room, and told the store to have more meat, and the fish was free first. The attendants around him were officials who were familiar with Chinese poetry and books, and most of them were not meeting for the first time, so they naturally looked for their own acquaintances, and the cups were staggered, and the wine was hot. At this time, a mocking person walked in, signaled to the prince, Li Fangren hurriedly hugged his hands and apologized, and walked into another box on the side with the passer. When they entered, everyone had already sat down, divided into three groups of people, the Daoyan monk of the Yan Palace, and Ma He, the prince of Siam, Zhaolu Qunying, brought a general matter, mocking An Yi, who was the counselor of the government. The only one who didn't speak Chinese here was the Siamese prince, so everyone started talking.

Li Fangren began: "Today, Xiao Wang will be the east, and I will introduce you to know each other." followed by the introduction of Daoyan and Ma He, and Ma He and the other party naturally met first and talked about the details. Dao Yan motioned for the Prince of Siam to share his opinion first. Zhaolu Qunying did not shirk and said, "The war between our kingdom and the Zhenla kingdom has been going on for several generations, and in the past, the kingdom of Zhenla was indeed powerful, but the current king is mediocre and incompetent, and his majesty has no way. These few successive defeats were under the hands of our country, and winning the "Golden Angkor" is only an imminent matter. It's just that I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yan thinks about the situation of the countries of the Eastern and Western Oceans, and I have to ask the master to explain one or two more." Siam has always believed in Buddhism, and Zhao Lu also folded his hands to his nose as a sign of respect. Dao Yan smiled and said, "Although King Yan has been sitting in Beiping for a long time, he has a heavy army to prepare for Meng Yuan, of course, these rely on the trust of the Shengshang, although the King of Yan is a concubine, but the Shengshang himself praised him as the most like an old man. Although the sword soldiers have not been prosperous in recent years, King Yan is always trembling, and he can not relax at any time under his command. Speaking of these Eastern and Western countries, Zhenla is related to Siam

Listed in the list of ancestral teachings, as long as the two sides pay tribute on time, the Ming naturally hopes that you will get along well, after all, the war is together, and killing and injuring lives is against the teachings of Buddhism." Zhao Lu Qunying knew that this was a scene, and if he said it, he didn't say it, but the point was what the other party wanted?

At this moment, the guys who served the food upstairs pushed a cart of food to eat, and successively served the table and set it up, Li Fangren first raised his glass and congratulated everyone present on a smooth journey. Li Fangren said, "Before I came to Nanjing, I passed through Beiping, but I met King Yan again. In addition to gossiping, he mentioned that he hoped to promote Buddhism in Beiping Prefecture, and verbally asked me to see if there were suitable Buddha statues in the East and West that could be used."

Zhao Lu Qunying frowned, still not knowing what he meant by ridiculing Xian Shen and entering this matter? There are many places where the Eastern and Western countries believe in Buddhism, but when it comes to the exquisite workmanship of the Buddha statues, it is not bad to say that it is better than the craftsmen of the Chinese dynasties.

Ma He said, "I have heard that the kingdom of Chenla is rich from all over the world, and once ruled most of the land including Siam, and the city of Angkor was built with magnificence, with a golden pagoda in the city, and five Buddha heads carved on each city gate. In particular, the head of the Buddha in the middle of the east gate is splendid, I wonder if the prince has heard of this?" (Note 1)

Zhaolu Qunying's heart turned a thousand waves, Siam's spies took many years to find out the results of the conquest of the kings of Chenla, a large part of them were melted in gold and hidden in this Buddha head, usually protected by the gatekeepers, he couldn't help but clench his fists with both hands, but his face was silent, and he laughed a few times and said: "This brother is joking, as far as I know, there are thousands of Buddha statues in Chenla country, and many of them have believers who wish or decorate the Buddha's head with gold dust, and the country does have this custom. But if this whole Buddha head is made of gold, it must be a rumor born by an ignorant person, and there is so much gold."

Dao Yan and Ma He glanced at each other, thinking that the rumors were indeed true, and the monk smiled and said, "The prince is very right, gold is just something outside the body, you can't bring it with life, and you can't take it away from death. Yes or no. The old monk thought about it, and after four or five hundred years of worship, its spiritual place was not comparable to the statues carved by ordinary craftsmen. Another old monk learned that the Buddha tooth that had been introduced to China during the Northern and Southern Dynasties originally thought that it had been lost in the war of that year, but in fact it was well preserved in a pagoda built by the Liao people in the western suburbs of Beiping Prefecture.

Zhaolu Qunying was almost scolded, stood up and left. But thinking of a few times to the Ming Dynasty in the name of tribute, the reality of trade, the King of Siam will only ask the Ming Dynasty to let him send a few more ships every year, so this Yan King can not afford to offend, it is better to come down first, and the Buddha head in the gold matter, he is known by fate, it stands to reason that only the current King Zhenla knows, but when my soldiers come to the city to fight in chaos, I will send people to detain the gold and transport it away, God does not know the ghost, not afraid of the Ming people to ask for it. Anyway, there is no need to talk about death here, but when he thought of this, he smiled and said, "During this period of military use, the soldiers are in chaos, and it is indeed difficult to arrange thoughtfully. When the time comes, Xiao Wang will pay more attention." Dao Yan said solemnly: "The poor monk has thanked King Yan here, and this Ma He is about to leave for Angkor Thom, and I will ask the prince to take care of him at that time." Ma He immediately stood up and raised his glass in greeting, and Zhao Lu was helpless, and also raised his glass to touch the cup with the young man who was called a visitor, who was actually an overseer, and raised his head to kill it. Li Fangren laughed and said, "Come on, come on, this beautiful matter is so decided, when there is a place where Xiao Wang can help, please be sure to inform me!"

After three rounds of drinking, Ma He got up and took out a bow bag and quiver, and said, "I arrived in a hurry this time, this is a strong bow purchased in Beiping Mansion, with the arrows of Yan Ling outside the Saiwai, it can be a hundred and fifty steps away, and I have the right to make a greeting gift to the prince, and please take care of it when I arrive at Zhenla." Zhaolu Qunying's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly took out the bow, sure enough, the bow body was smooth, the maintenance was very good, the beef tendon was naturally new, and the wood at the string could see that the bow was somewhat historical, and he was about to open his mouth to praise two sentences. Two people came in from outside, and said in a somewhat strange tone, "The poor monk knows a little about the origin of this bow!"

Li Fangren pondered: "Zu Ah (Note 2), you, a Japanese monk, came uninvited and broke into my distinguished guest dinner, don't you look down on me and mock Xianguo?" Zu Ah first saluted everyone on the seat, his eyes came into contact with everyone, and finally he announced a Buddha name to Dao Yan, and said: "Mocking Xian wants to be a little China, the whole country advocates the way of doing great things, and it is very thorough, and our country has always admired the important thing, and there is no disrespect." But every man has his own life, and he can't bear it at all.' Li Fangren listened to the speech of this Japanese monk with a gun and a stick, and wanted to do it, when Dao Yan said: "Zu, Fa Xiangzong (Note 3) can't gain a foothold in the Central Plains, and it won't be much after the Tang Dynasty. Later, I traveled eastward, and I heard that the Muromachi shogunate was now very important, and I thought that the great monk also contributed a lot." Zu A's eyes lit up and he replied, "Master Xuanzang's theory of the five castes is the insight of absorbing the Tianzhu scriptures, and it is still applicable to our country today." There is a lower class of filthy people in the country, and the saying that everyone can become a Buddha cannot be spread.

Ma He gave Li Fangren a urging look, Li Fangren coughed twice and asked people to arrange for Zu Ah to sit down, Ma He said, "Master Shicai said that you recognize this bow, I don't know if you can tell one or two."

Zu Ah is interesting to say, he is already a Japanese monk who has completed the second crossing of the Ming Dynasty, crossed the sea to the west, and traveled with the monks of the Central Plains to hone his knowledge of Buddhism, which can be regarded as a kind of study abroad gilding. At the same time, Zua also corresponded with the powerful figures of the Yamato court, and frequently entered and exited Kitayama, and interacted deeply with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and neither side was offended.

A sad look flashed in Zua's eyes and he said, "Have you ever heard of the Mongol expedition to Japan?" At this time, it had been 120 years since the Mongols sent troops to Japan, and of course none of the people present here knew the details of this, nor did they know how this monk suddenly mentioned the Mongols who had completely retreated into the desert more than 20 years ago. Zu A saw that everyone was at a loss, and lost the interest in detailing, so he probably talked about the original Mongolian first crusade to the east, the range and strength of its bow and arrow to the Japanese army at that time suffered a lot, this bow seems to be the bow used by the general when the Yuan Dynasty army swept the world. Ma and Daosheng were taught. Li Fangren is dissatisfied at the moment, and the evil person will sue first? As soon as the conversation changed, he said to the monk A: "Is the Muromachi shogunate really capable of governing your country?" Even a pirate can't make up for it, so he can't leave Kyoto!" The monk's face turned red, and he said, "Two years ago, Ashikaga Shogun dismissed the incompetent Kyushu Island Detective (the official name of the shogunate's highest administrative military governor stationed on Kyushu Island at the time) Imagawa Sadayo, and ordered the new official to extinguish the pirates, but a small group of thieves is inevitable in every country, do you say?" Li Fangren sneered: "The thief doesn't see merit, but it is unceremonious to reach out and ask for something. In the 21st year of Hongwu's national letter (Note 4), your country has made it clear that you have come to ask for the Tripitaka Sutra, and this Buddhist classic was only carved and completed with the strength of a poor country in our country, although it is a good thing to promote the Dharma..." Zu A hurriedly took advantage of the situation and said, "The main thing is to get to know Senior Brother Daoyan, and there are many places to ask for advice in the future. In addition, if the king of Yan sends something, the whole country will absolutely cooperate with it." Dao Yan smiled and said, "The prestige of your country's warriors who are good at fighting is like thunder! Today, by the light of the prince, I have made friends from far and wide, and there are many places to rely on in the future, and the monk does not hesitate to break the vows to pay tribute to you with this glass of water and wine!" After all, they have come from afar to know what is happening in various countries now, so that the people in their own countries can make decisions.

Dao Yan glanced at Ma He, and the two walked out of the room quietly, walked down one floor, and quietly entered another small room, where the Ryukyu princess Gulu Mei was waiting, and she quietly got up and squatted slightly.

Dao Yan sat down and said, "Your Excellency King Yan asked me to ask you, why did you Zhongshan Kingdom act so boldly, and who instructed you to attack Li Hongyuan on the road to Nanjing?"

Gulu Mei bit her lip and replied, "The little girl is just admiring the martial arts of the Divine Sect and learning from each other!"

"So, naturally, it has nothing to do with the Ashikaga clan of the Muromachi Shogunate?"

"Our country is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and no matter how famous the general of the Japanese kingdom is, it has nothing to do with the Ryukyus." Gulumei replied calmly.

Dao Yan laughed and said, "Your Royal Highness, the monk will not come to make much noise with you. In this way, there are some things in my Yan Palace, which are inconvenient to deal with directly, if you Zhongshan Palace, you can handle them on your behalf, and it is not impossible for us to close one eye to these things between you and the Ashikaga family."

Gulumei's face turned cold: "Will your big country only bully our elementary school like this?"

"Amitabha, the princess is wrong with this! It's just to help each other and make more friends, although King Yan is in the community, he often teaches us the truth that those who have attained the Tao help more. In addition, the horse guards of our palace are also considered to be the princess's classmates, so they naturally raise their hands and let them go gently. Horse guard, do you say so?'

Ma He had been silent since he came in, and then he had to reply, "The master said yes." Gulumei looked at Ma He and stopped making a sound. Dao Yan didn't say anything more, his hands folded slightly in a salute and strode away.

The two of them were speechless for a while, and after half a while, Ma Heqiang smiled and said, "I will go to Zhenla to run errands in a while, and I will need the help of the princess at that time."

Gu Lu Mei looked sideways: "Are you so sure that King Yan will be the next Emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

"My Ma He is working in the Yan Palace, of course, the future of the prince is the biggest consideration, he has never said that he wants to fight for the throne, and this matter is not in my current consideration. This time to the country of Zhenla is to welcome a nearly 400-year-old Buddha statue, the vassal king is forbidden to make friends with foreign countries, which is clearly stipulated by the Ministry of Rites, and it is not possible to openly gather people to go. If the Zhongshan Mansion can help in private, Ma and Yongming will be in their hearts."

Gulu Mei snorted, and said: "How do I not know what you scholars are thinking, anyway, either King Yan succeeds to the throne or is the emperor's grandson, you Ma and Ma Dagongzi are both civil and military, and if you win the bet, you will be an important minister of the court, and if you lose the bet, it is just a long detour, and then you will go to the scientific examination." We can't afford to offend any of the big officials of your big country, let alone King Yan, the Ministry of Rites will casually come to a reprimand, I, the Fanbang woman known as the princess of Zhongshan, will not be able to eat and walk around, forget about others, don't you know my difficulties?" At this point, his eyes were red, and he burst into tears. Ma He was about to come over, and Fang wanted to comfort him, but Gulu Mei pounced on her and put her whole body in her arms. At this time, I was helpless, and I couldn't push it away, so I had to circle my hands slightly, passively absorb the warm jade soft fragrance, and wait until the woman's body odor was close to the nose and brain, and I couldn't push it away now. Gulu Mei vaguely seemed to say that the slave family was so happy, and Ma He didn't dare to move at this time. After a while, he suddenly stretched out his hand to push him away, but said coldly, "Is it enough? How do I feel like in this foreign land?' Ma He was stunned for a moment, thinking that you hung it up by yourself, which one was sad and happy at first glance? Gulu Mei put on a frozen face, and coldly dropped her sentence: "Zhenla's trip, the slave family will ensure that you succeed, but when you fly in the future, don't forget to take care of my Xiaobang." Without waiting for the horse and the response, he drifted away. The beauty is gone, and the fang ze in the room is still around, and this kind of Ruo Ruo Ruo made Ma and Wu spontaneously stunned, and he didn't know how to be stupid!

Note 1: From the original text of the Zhenla Fengtu Ji, the city chapter: "... There are five large stone Buddha heads above the city gate, facing the four directions. One of them in the middle, decorated with a golden ..... 'only four of the Buddha's heads remain. The author of this book is Zhou Daguan, a member of the Yuan Dynasty, who arrived at Angkor Thom with a delegation in the first year of Yuan Chengzong Yuan Zhen (1295), where he stayed for about a year.

When the author visited the local area in 2003, the large strips of cloth used to decorate the Siem Reap airport were mainly visualized with the content of the inside pages of this book.

Note 2: Japanese monk, Yongle four years by Ashikaga Yoshimitsu to China!

Note 3: The following is recorded from the traditional Chinese version of Wikipedia, "Beginning with Xuanzang Sanzang in the Tang Dynasty, it was carried out by his disciple Master Xuanji. Xuanzang Sanzang once studied scriptures in Nalanda Monastery in Central India, studied in person with the precept of the sage teacher, and after returning to China, he opened a translation field to translate the scriptures. Because the master of the Voyeur Ji Da Hongfa Xiang only learned in the Temple of Mercy and Grace, so the school was named the Mercy and Grace Sect, and the Voyeur Ji was known as the "Hundred Commentators", and the annotations were very many, and the reach was also wide, and the door was more out of the Hui Swamp, and the Hui Swamp was more spread the wisdom of the week. Since the destruction of Buddhism by Tang Wuzong, the lineage of this sect has been cut off, only a few monks have studied, most of the classics have been lost, and the corresponding interpretations have also been cut off. “

Note 4: In fact, it should be from the "Mock Fish に諭するの書", signed by Yoshihiro Ouchi (Shou Daimyo (筷大myō, 獨自與鮮议資貿貿), this document was sent to Mock in the 31st year of Hongwu (1398). In line with the needs of the plot of the novel, it was advanced by a year!
