Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 193 Dispatching the Tang Envoy

When Xue Huangshang saw Wang Wenzuo's black face, he also smiled wryly and said, "Wang Canjun, there is no other way. If there is a wealthy family with food to eat, who would want to cross the sea to come to Baekje? It would be a narrow escape! Besides these two The Nian government was mean to the government soldiers, and many government households who could have been exempted from labor had to be recruited, which made it even harder to recruit people!"

"Then you can't bring old people and children to make up the number?" Wang Wenzuo said angrily: "There are also young and strong in Fulang and Xiahu!"

"The money allocated from above is not enough, how can we recruit so many young men!"

"It's not enough money and silk again!" At this time, Wang Wenzuo had lost his temper, and he shook his head: "Forget it, anyway, I am not the governor, so let the higher-ups worry about the next pen and ink lawsuit! Please also send the roster Come with me, let me take stock!"

"Those are all at General Sun's place, I'm afraid it will take another two days!" Xue Huangshang pushed them clean.

"Okay, okay!" Wang Wenzuo didn't want to pay attention to Xue Huangshang at all, he called Gu Cihang, asked him to hand over to the visitor, went back to the shore by himself, and found a cool place to rest.But as soon as he closed his eyes, he felt someone was in front of him. When he opened his eyes, it was the two Japanese interpreters.

"What's the matter with you two?"

"Report to the king to join the army!" Although Ding Hui's Tang dialect was spoken word by word, it was pretty good for a Japanese: "Lieutenant Xue said that the two of us will listen to it in the Dudu Mansion, so let us follow along." You, Wang Canjun!"

"Follow me?" Wang Wenzuo looked at the two of them up and down, and saw that they held their breath, lowered their eyes and moved their jaws, looking cautious. Although they were dressed in Tang suits, their voices were exactly the same as those of the Japanese prisoners, so he nodded: " That's fine, then you are all colleagues in the mansion, you two don't need to be formal, let's sit down and talk!"

"Thank you for joining the army!" Ding Hui responded, turned around and whispered a few words to Ijilian Bode before sitting down together.Seeing this, Wang Wenzuo frowned: "Monk Dinghui, aren't you all translators? Why does he want you to translate for him?"

Ding Hui hurriedly stood up: "Reporting to join the army, my friend's Tang dialect is really mediocre, and he can't understand it when others say it sooner. I was the only interpreter at the time, but I didn't want him to be locked up in Chang'an alone, enduring loneliness , That’s why I invited two people to come together. Don’t worry, although my friend is not good at talking about Tang, he is very good at swordsmanship and archery. He is also a famous waka master in the court. "

"Stop in Chang'an? Endure loneliness?" Wang Wenzuo became curious when he heard this, and asked.Dinghui then sent himself to Datang with the delegation, and was put under house arrest because of the diplomatic relations between the two countries, and was later released as a translator, and told the story of Ijilian Bode who also brought him with him.

"So that's how it is!" Wang Wenzuo clapped his palms and said with a smile: "So, both of you are also members of the Tang envoys?"

"Emissary to Tang Dynasty?" Ding Hui was stunned, it was the first time he heard this word, but after thinking about it, it was very appropriate, he nodded quickly and said, "That's right, we are all members of Emissary to Tang Dynasty."

"As far as I know, the envoys sent by your country to the Tang Dynasty are either the children of nobles, or young talents with outstanding qualities, or a combination of both! You just said that your friend is a waka master, so what are your strengths? , or which nobleman's son?"

Hearing Wang Wenzuo's question, Dinghui was taken aback for a moment. He knew that he could not hide his identity from the captain of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, so he said frankly: "Reporting to join the army, my father, Nakamitsu Kamazu, is an official in Daiziguan (the highest among the twelve official ranks in Japan)." level one), right minister!"

"Zhongchen sickle feet?" Wang Wenzuo's eyes lit up: "Could it be the confidant of the eldest brother and prince in your country?"

"Don't dare!" Dinghui looked at Wang Wenzuo in astonishment. In his impression, Tang people had a kind of arrogance from the bottom of their hearts. Forget it, for a country as far away as Wa and without direct confrontation, Tang people almost ignore it, and members of the royal family like the eldest brother and prince are fine. No one will know.

"It turns out that your father is Zhongchen Kamazu, no wonder!" Wang Wenzuo smiled and grabbed Dinghui's arm: "I was in some troubles, but I didn't expect you to come. It's really God's second who is in my place!"

Ding Hui was a little nervous because of Wang Wenzuo's intimacy, so he forced a smile and said: "The poor monk is not talented, I'm afraid I'll miss the important event of joining the army, and I'm afraid!"

"What's the big deal!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "No one else, I just want to ask the Zen master to write a few letters for me!"

"Let me write a letter?" Dinghui was stunned. It turned out that at that time Japan only had language but no writing. He could speak Tang dialect, and he could easily "talk" with Chinese intellectuals at that time.Therefore, in the early Tang Dynasty, there was only a language gap between the upper echelons of the Northeast Asian countries, and there was no text gap. If Wang Wenzuo wanted to write a letter to the Japanese, he did not need Dinghui to write a letter for him, and he could write it himself.

"That's right!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "If it's just writing letters, I can indeed write them too, but after all, I'm separated from you two. I don't want to hide it from you. Not long ago, I led the army to fight with the soldiers of your country once." , killed a lot. Regarding this matter, I am very unclear. The two countries are thousands of miles away, and there has never been any conflict. Why did your country send troops to Baekje to offend our Tang Tianwei? Since ancient times, wars have been fierce, and the outcome is unpredictable. Your country It is very unwise to send troops rashly to provoke a big country!"

Ding Hui heard that Wang Wenzuo's words implied intelligence, and hurriedly said: "When the poor monk arrived in Luoyang, your country had not yet made an expedition to Baekje, and he didn't know anything about the behind-the-scenes. You should obey your orders, but the person in charge of the army is a general of a country, I'm afraid he won't take our letter to heart!"

"That's natural!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "How about this, you can write a letter to the Japanese, just saying that we have no malicious intentions with the Japanese country. If we stop our troops and return to the country, we will release the prisoners and rebuild the old good!"

"That's easy to say!" Dinghui heaved a sigh of relief, and hurriedly fetched a pen and paper, wrote it according to Wang Wenzuo's request, and left his own signature and signature, and asked Iji Lianbode to stamp the letter behind, and Wang Wenzuo put the letter away. He said with a smile: "You two, please wait a moment. When the matter here is understood, I will arrange for the two of you to rest!"

Ding Hui and Ijilian Bode were sent away, Wang Wenzuo heaved a sigh of relief.Whenever the dawn of victory is about to appear, but it is shrouded in dark clouds, is this Haidong must be Datang's sad place?Wang Wenzuo returned to the trestle bridge and stared at the young or old soldiers who got off the ferry.
