Master Di left with a bunch of people, Qin Mu followed behind, still thinking about who the real murderer was, could it be that Master Di had already roughly guessed it?

At this time, Xiaoqing asked, "Brother Qin, how do you know that the butcher killed the murderer's horse?" ”

"My shot went into the horse's body, and he probably happened to cut it when he chopped the meat, and didn't the iron knife curl when it touched the steel ball?"

"And what if he doesn't admit it if he dies?"

"It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, I'm afraid that the murderer will return to Luoyang after the mission is completed, and I'm afraid that Lord Didi will be held accountable this time."

"Ah, what will Lord Di be charged with?"

"At most, it's a crime of dereliction of duty, let's push it back, whoever goes to Di Renjie, then whoever is behind the scenes, Lord Di is here to burn the obscene shrine this time, and now there are so many ancestral halls missing for no reason, Lord Di has to hurt his muscles and bones this time."

Qin Mu only felt at this time that the court was still not very stable, and on the surface, the Empress Wu was in control of everything, but Di Renjie's countercurrent was very eye-catching.

Back at the county office, Di Renjie released the people of the envoy group, indicating that their origin had been investigated.

Quan Youcai, although the two of them were very angry, they could only endure it.

The next day, the envoy group rushed to Luoyang with Di Renjie's carriage.

Qin Mu found an excuse and came to Di Renjie's carriage to chat with him.

"Master Di, excuse me."

Di Renjie's eyes μ closed, "Your outfit is too weird, why bother, do you want me to go and tell the Queen of Heaven to ask Chu to return your free body?" ”

"No, no, Master Di, I'm free, what about my brother and wife?"

"Well, he values love and righteousness, and he is a good man."

"Thank you Lord Di for your appreciation, Lord Di, have you already guessed the murderer behind the arson?"

Di Renjie opened his eyes and flashed a hint of surprise, "I can only see the moves, I can't imagine that you are not young and know a lot about the affairs of the court?" Why didn't you agree when the queen summoned you and invited you to join the company? ”

"Master Di, you still know this!" Qin Mu exclaimed.

"I still have friends in the court." Di Renjie said with a relaxed smile.

"Speaking of entering the office, it is the dream of all the world's scholars, but the court is deep, and I have no intention of dealing with these, even if it is an idle official position, it is not free."

"That's better than going into business, isn't it?"

"Actually, the ultimate purpose of my business is not to make money."

"Oh?" Di Renjie became serious, it was the first time he had heard a businessman say such a thing.

"In terms of financial resources, I can't spend all my money in ten lifetimes, I can buy land and farm and live a chic life, but ah, I think this prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty should be more prosperous."

"How can I be more prosperous?" Di Renjie asked puzzled.

"Di Da is very knowledgeable, he should know that no dynasty can prosper forever, the people are bitter, the people are suffering, and the people are suffering, I want the people of the Tang Dynasty to have no worries about food and clothing, I want to make the people of the Tang Dynasty superior, I want the Tang Dynasty to conquer the world." Qin Mu said in a firm tone.

Di Renjie was stunned, "This... Ahahahaha, the idea is very good, but ah, Datang is not something that you can change as a businessman. ”

"At least you have to be rich, right? Let all the nations serve my Datang, can the people of my Datang be happy? ”

Di Renjie smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "It's a good thing to have ideals and ambitions, just do what you can and live a good life." ”

Qin Mu nodded, he did have a little idealism, he wanted to try it and change the consciousness of the entire Chinese nation.

The carriage bumped for three days and finally came to Luoyang.

Looking at the familiar street, Qin Mu was in a trance, he was busy every day, and he didn't seem to have a good visit to Luoyang.

As the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, Luoyang's markets are more lively, and there are many more merchants on the streets.

Qin Mu followed Di Renjie to the entrance of Shangyang Palace.

"Master Di, see you later." Qin Mu saluted.

Di Renjie returned the salute, "See you later." ”

After a while, two men in official uniforms walked up to the envoys.

Qin Mu found that one of them was Wang Xiao from the previous ministry.

Qin Mu could only pretend not to know and follow them.

Quan Youcai talked to Wang Xiao along the way, most of them asking about the date and process.

"Two days later, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, when Luoyang will hold a fireworks display and lift the curfew, if you are interested, you can go out of the palace to play by yourself." Wang Xiao introduced.

"Then on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, we went to see the queen of heaven?"

Wang Xiao smiled, "Someone will inform you about this." ”

Qin Mu leaned up, "I don't know what this lord is in charge of Honglu Temple now?" ”

Wang Xiao glanced at Qin Mu and felt a little familiar, but his voice and complexion were very unfamiliar.

"I was in charge of foreign trade in Honglu Temple, and now I am temporarily here to receive envoys."

Qin Mu smiled happily, he didn't ask for compensation for helping him at the beginning, it seems that he did the right thing, and he didn't worry about selling out with Wang Xiao's own things.

Qin Mu planned to leave Luoyang after everything had settled, and secretly develop.

"I don't know where is the port, my lord?"

Wang Si hesitated, "In Dongzhi Port." ”

Qin Mu nodded, preventing the other people from being suspicious Qin Mu explained, "We Silla are going to trade with Datang, so if we want to know which port in Datang is closer to Silla, we don't have to take a long detour." ”

Wang Xiao smiled, "As long as the Queen Mother agrees, we are welcome at any time." ”

What kind of business can a small Silla vassal state do with Datang? Wang Xiao complained inwardly.

Quan Youcai asked, "I didn't prepare a gift for Silla this time, I don't know when I can send it?" ”

Wang Xiao looked at the boxes carried by a few people behind him, "You came just in time, the envoys from other countries are waiting for the Queen Mother to pay tribute, let's go." ”

"I didn't want to take you there, I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed, but now you insist on giving gifts, and I can't help it." Wang Xiao thought in his heart.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Qin Mu and his party came to the main hall of Lichun Palace.

There were dozens of foreigners in strange costumes standing inside, and for a while, Qin Mu couldn't tell where they came from.

It stands to reason that the countries around the Tang Dynasty include Ryukyu, Tianzhu, and some small countries.

These people look like foreigners, are they from Europe?

To the west, there were only two of them, Arab and Eastern Roman Byzantium.

After a while, a familiar figure walked in.

Qin Mu subconsciously stared at her, with a gorgeous smile on his face.

However, Shangguan Wan'er walked aside with a serious expression.

"The queen of heaven is here!"

The others bowed their hands in separate branches and bowed their waists at ninety degrees in unison.

"See Her Highness the Queen of Heaven!"

Yo, I've done my homework.

At any time, only the people of the country who are strong will respect you and even practice the etiquette of your country.

Datang is definitely the most powerful country in the world.

Empress Wu sat on the high seat, waved her hand and said slowly: "Your envoys have come thousands of miles to my divine capital, and you have worked hard. ”

At this time, a bearded man spoke broken Chinese, "Your Highness the Queen of Heaven, we Arabia brought... Gifts..."

At this moment, two men with veils walked forward with a box in their hands.

The man opened the box, and inside was a jeweled staff.

"We, the Pope, wish the Queen of Heaven to be young forever and the Tang Dynasty to be strong forever."

Empress Wu's eyes were full of joy, "Well, that's good." ”

Next came the Byzantine emissaries, who offered a pair of earrings with sapphires and rubies.

Empress Wu nodded after reading it.

The gold and gem Empress Wu didn't like it, and this exotic treasure could only be put in the treasury to eat ashes, and she didn't have a chance to take it out, she was thinking about who it would be better to give these to.

One after another, other envoys came up with what their country considered the most precious.

A pearl necklace was offered to the Ryukyus, which was ridiculed by the others.

They could only bow their heads in shame and let others laugh at them.

When it was time for Silla, he raised his head and prepared to laugh with the others

Quan Youcai stepped forward confidently.

"The queen of heaven, there is only one treasure in the whole world of Silla."

Everyone cheered up, a small country in Silla could take out the only treasure in the whole world, it would be a big laugh.

Quan Youcai opened the box, and there were round transparent balls in the two boxes.

Others were talking about what it was.

"Is this an ice cube?"

"No, the ice cubes have melted a long time ago, and they look like glass."

Empress Wu looked at the two balls in the box curiously, "Such a round and large glass is indeed rare, and this time the King of Silla has a heart." ”

Qin Mu stepped forward, "This is just a part, Queen of Heaven, let me explain it to you." ”

Empress Wu looked at Qin Mu and nodded, "Then tell me the meaning of this." ”

Qin Mu asked someone to move the ball out of the box and put it on the ground, one ball was lit with a candle under the wooden base at the bottom, and the other Qin Mu squatted down, opened the flashlight through the cuff and stuffed it in.

At this time, two spheres, one emitting firelight, and the other emitting a white cold light.

"This is the sun and the moon shine together!" Qin Mu beckoned and shouted loudly.

The others looked at the ball one by one and were amazed.

"Wonderful! The sun and the moon shine together for good luck! ”

Shangguan Wan'er echoed, "This sun and moon shine with candles at night, and the other is full of moonlight, and this thing is indeed auspicious after the day." ”

Qin Mu looked at Shangguan Wan'er puzzled, why was she so excited?

Have you been recognized?

Qin Mu didn't believe that his current appearance was similar to that of an African chieftain, but why did Shangguan Wan'er say good things for Silla.

Empress Wu's face was happy, "Good meaning, good meaning!" ”

The Arab and Byzantine envoys were puzzled as to why these two glass balls made Empress Wu so happy.

No matter how precious the glass is, it is also glass, and it can never compare to gold and precious stones.

The differences between cultures are like a moat, making it difficult for them to understand, and Qin Mu's glass ball can only be understood by countries in the circle of subcultures.

The envoy of the Ryukyus looked at the two balls and was very excited in his heart, and his mouth kept muttering about thinking one, thinking one.

If it weren't for Empress Wu's presence, he would have to catch Silla and let them tell him how to make this glass ball.

After the confession was over, the Ryukyu envoy kept pestering Qin Mu like a fart and asked him how he did it.

Qin Mu didn't bother to take care of them, and he was disgusted when he saw their groveling appearance.

Qin Mu thought about it, why didn't you slaughter him ruthlessly.

Qin Mu suddenly stopped and looked at the Ryukyu envoy.

"It's okay to want to know, but it's a big price."
