Neon Clothes and Iron Clothes

Chapter 448
Wang Wenzuo blushed at what Qiyu said, and was speechless for a moment. He had never experienced such embarrassment in his life, and finally he could only say: "Okay, okay, okay, it's up to you!"

"According to me?" Saitama asked tearfully.

"I'll stay here until the child lands, and I won't go back to Baekje!" Wang Wenzuo said with a wry smile, "I'll write to the court later to report the situation here, and beg to return to Baekje after October!"

"That's all right!" Qiyu laughed, and she stretched out her index finger and poked Wang Wenzuo's forehead forcefully: "Sanlang, you just want to toast and don't eat fine wine. You obviously don't listen to what you say, and you insist on crying I was willing to give up, you see, my makeup is stained with tears, it's all your fault!"

"Okay, okay, okay, it's all my fault, it's all my fault!" Wang Wenzuo smiled wryly.

"Should I be punished for my mistakes?"

"Punish, punish! How about punishing me to touch up your makeup?" Wang Wenzuo sighed.

"Okay!" Qiyu's eyes lit up, he clapped his palms and said to the female officer, "Quick, go and get my bronze mirror and powder, Sanlang will touch up my makeup!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Looking at the bronze mirrors neatly placed in front of him, all kinds of rouge and gouache, and the long-awaited Qiyu, Wang Wenzuo showed a wry smile, walked up to Qiyu and sat down, and said in a low voice: "You are born with a good color, apply rouge The gouache is nothing but dirty, so it’s better to wash it off, wouldn’t it be better to have a plain face in the sky?”

"A plain face? That's a good word!" Qiyu smiled, and then frowned: "You promised me to touch up my makeup just now, and now you say this, are you trying to be lazy?"

"Where, where!" Seeing that Qiyu had seen through his intentions, Wang Wenzuo had no choice but to honestly pick up the powder box to touch up Qiyu's makeup. Seeing that Wang Wenzuo gave in, Qiyu was secretly proud, and while directing Wang Wenzuo, he said with a smile: "Sanlang, don't be reluctant, you don't know how many people want to do your makeup job but can't get it!"

"Yes, yes!" Wang Wenzuo smiled while applying the powder with a puff: "It's just that I'm clumsy, I'm afraid you will be dissatisfied and the color will be stained!"

"I think it's okay!" Qiyu said while looking in the mirror: "You have been busy for so long, and you can spend the next few months with me, look around the scenery, and cultivate your self-cultivation. Baekje is much stronger? You are good at everything, but you are too busy all day long!"

"Then what can I do? I'm just a hard worker!" Wang Wenzuo handed the powder box to the female officer on the side, and said with a smile: "But if I stay in my hometown, I'm afraid I'm still a farmer driving cattle all day long. How can you If you meet me, let alone the child in your belly!"

"That's true!" Qiyu sighed: "If I hadn't met you, I would have lost to Katsuragi in the fight for the throne, I'm afraid I would be dead by then!"

Wang Wenzuo didn't speak, he hugged the queen into his arms, kissed each other, the queen kissed back tacitly, and the female officer at the side silently exited the door and closed the door, leaving only the two of them alone.

--------------------------------

"Sanlang, how do you plan to submit a letter to the imperial court?" Qiyu asked with interest as he rested on Wang Wenzuo's right arm with disheveled hair.

"It doesn't really matter!"

"It doesn't matter? What do you mean?"

"No matter what I write, it will attract the attack of the admonisher!" Wang Wenzuo said.

"Why do you say that?"

"It's very simple!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "If you have ridden a horse, you should know that if you want to ride a horse well, you must have a rein. The emperor is the rider, I am the horse, and the admonisher is the rein. If the horse runs too fast, the rider would pull on the reins so that he wouldn't fall off the horse."

"So you run too fast?" Saitama laughed.

"Of course! Before I left Chang'an, the emperor gave me two tasks: to retrieve the relics, and to solve the matter of Fuyu Fengzhang and Baekje's exiles. Now I have even forced the eldest brother and prince to death. Isn't that fast? "

"You missed one thing, there is me and the child in my belly!" Qiyu laughed narrowly: "If the emperor of Tang Dynasty knew this, he would have been petrified!"

"Hehe!" Wang Wenzuo smiled, noncommittal.Qiyu didn't continue to ask, but changed the subject: "Saburo, what are your plans?"

"It's very simple, bribe the queen!"

"Bribe to the queen? What do you mean?"

"It's just to send the queen a large sum of money and buy her to speak for me! As long as she is willing to show up, those admonishers can't do anything to me!"

"Is this okay?" Qiyu laughed in surprise: "Empress Datang is such a noble person? Can he be bought with money?"

"There are really not many people in the world who can't be bought! If you can't buy it, it's because the price is not enough!" Wang Wenzuo's expression became serious: "In fact, don't talk about people, even a country can be bought!"

"How much will it cost?" Saitama asked enthusiastically, "Is two loads of gold sand enough? If not, I can double it!"

"That's all!" Wang Wenzuo laughed when he heard the words: "You don't need to pay for this. If my method works, you don't even need to pay for a tael of gold sand!"

"What's your idea again!" Qiyu laughed: "Tell me!"

--------------------------

noon the next day.

"Hongdu, I need you to go back to Chang'an for me!" When Wang Wenzuo sat on the bench, Cui Hongdu was eating grilled rice balls and pickled fish sausage for breakfast: "I know it's a bit embarrassing for you to leave at this time, but this There is no one else but you!"

"Then I'll go!" Cui Hongdu wiped his mouth: "Is it a matter of pleading with the Holy One for Liu Gong? Don't worry, there are still some people in our Cui family in Chang'an! I will run around to see when the time comes, it must be useful! "

"This matter is not the most important thing!" Wang Wenzuo looked around subconsciously: "You go to Chang'an to meet two people first, brother Renshou and Liu Neifu!"

"Yeah!" Cui Hongdu nodded, he hesitated for a while: "I know I've seen General Jin, why do you want to see Liu Neifu?"

"It's best to go through him for the relic matter!" Wang Wenzuo said: "He needs to arrange for you to meet the queen!"

"Me? Meet the queen?" Cui Hongdu was taken aback.At that time, although Empress Wu did not have the power and influence later on, she started her business as a servant of the first emperor, and successively killed the queen who was born in the Wang family of Taiyuan, the eldest grandson Wuji and other ministers of Tuogu, and became the No. 1 next to the supreme. It is far beyond the comparison of ordinary queens.In addition, there have long been rumors that the emperor is not in good health, and the prince is still underage. Once the emperor dies, will it be Her Majesty the Queen who will be in charge?
"That's right, this matter is really too involved. Once something happens in the middle, I can't bear it. So you have to meet the queen in person, present my letter, and then answer the questions asked by the queen one by one, like this I can only trust you!"

"I understand!" Cui Hongdu swallowed, only feeling that there was no place in his body at ease: "San, Sanlang, do you think I can do it?"

"Of course, you are a thousand-mile steed of the Cui clan of Qinghe!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "Besides, if you are not used, who should I use? I can't have two copies. How can I let He Bayong, Yuan Aolie and others? I can't send Ijilian Bode and Fujiwara are not better than these two Japanese, are they?"

"That's true!" Cui Hongdu felt that he was confident: "Then what will the queen ask me? How should I answer?"

"Except that Qiyu has my child, tell the truth about everything!" Wang Wenzuo said: "In the letter, I will tell Her Majesty the Queen that the Japanese are grateful for His Majesty's great virtue, and plan to build a temple in the Japanese country to offer Buddha body relics. In order to thank the two majesties for their kindness. If she is willing to give the relic to Sitianwang Temple, her reputation will surely spread overseas!"

"What? You asked Her Majesty the Empress to give the relics to the Japanese? How is that possible?" Cui Hongdu laughed and said, "You forgot how much effort the Empress spent and how many people she killed for this thing? If she agreed, what would all that effort be?" Isn't it in vain?"

"You're wrong!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "If I'm right, Her Majesty the Empress will definitely agree, not only will she agree, she may even give a sum of money to build this temple!"

"How, how is this possible?"

"Let me ask you, what does the queen want the relic for?"

"Of course it's for making offerings, praying for blessings!"

"Really?" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "You forgot that this relic was originally in Dinglin Temple in Baekje. In order to seize this relic, I don't know how many people were killed. It can be said that this relic is covered with human blood. And resentment, do you think offering this thing can be exchanged for blessings?"

"This——" Cui Hongdu was stopped by Wang Wenzuo's question, he hesitated for a moment: "I don't know too well, but if it's not for blessings, what is it for? I've seen that thing once, it's just an ordinary small bead, Worse than ordinary pearls."

"For prestige, for power of will!"

"Reputation? Will power?"

"Yes, although our queen is a daughter, she has the heart of a man!" Wang Wenzuo lowered his voice: "She is not willing to just stay in the shadow of her majesty!"

"Aren't you willing to just stay in His Majesty's shadow? What else can I do?" Cui Hongdu laughed and said, "Could it be possible to come out? Wouldn't he be sunburned?" He couldn't help laughing out loud at this point.Wang Wenzuo didn't smile, but just looked at him calmly: "What if you can't die in the sun?"

"I can't die in the sun? How is that possible? There are no two suns in the sky, and there are no two masters in the people. This is the truth since ancient times. Besides, no matter how powerful Empress Wu is, she is still a woman!"

"What about women? The queen of the previous dynasty was also a woman. She still ruled the government, deposed the prime minister, and changed the crown prince. How do you know that the current queen can't do it?"

Cui Hongdu smiled and said, "The former queen of literature? This is unlikely, right? What kind of background is the current empress Wu, how can she be compared with her?"

It is no wonder that Cui Hongdu said so. The queen of the literature of the former dynasty mentioned by Wang Wenzuo is Dugu Jialuo, the wife of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. The father of this person is Dugu Xin, one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms of the Western Wei Dynasty, who is the core figure of the Guanlong Group.Dugu Jialuo's two elder sisters are Empress Yu Wenyu, Emperor Ming of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and the mother of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of Tang Dynasty, and one is the queen of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Sui Dynasty, and Tang Dynasty.She herself has a very close relationship with Yang Jian, and the five sons she gave birth to are all born to Dugu Jialuo.After Yang Jian ascended the throne, he respected Dugu Jialuo very much, and often discussed state affairs together. Gao Ying, the important minister at that time, was once Duguxin's retainer, so there were two saints in the palace at that time. Luo is much humbler.

"Birth is naturally important, but the situation is different now!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "What Her Majesty wants is prestige. She won the relic and built a temple in Chang'an, Luoyang. Wouldn’t it be more beautiful to build a temple in the Wa Kingdom, to govern the vassal state with Buddhism, and to be a vassal of the Tang Dynasty forever?”

"That's true!" Hearing this, Cui Hongdu nodded: "However, Wa Kingdom is so far away from Chang'an, who knows what's going on here? Can't Empress Wu come here in person?"

"It's not easy!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile, "I've written it all in the letter: If the queen is interested, she can send an envoy from the Japanese kingdom to pray for the relics to be the things of the country. Virtue, give the relics. The Japanese country is grateful for the great kindness of the queen, and built a temple in the country to worship, and built a [-]-foot Buddha statue on the mountain, thinking of the queen's face, thinking that the mountain is immortal, and the heart of admiration will last forever!"

"That's okay?" Hearing Wang Wenzuo's words, Cui Hongdu was so surprised that he couldn't speak: "How can the queen's imperial appearance be exposed?"

"As long as it is not announced, who would know? The Japanese have never seen Empress Wu!" Wang Wenzuo said with a smile: "In this case, the queen will be the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva and be worshiped by the Japanese for generations? Why is she unwilling? "

"That's true!" Cui Hongdu nodded: "I thought it was unlikely, but after hearing what you said, it's possible! Then I'll take a trip to Chang'an!"

"That's good, there are some other things, you have to do it together, don't make any mistakes!"

Dengzhou, government office.

The rising sun passed through the narrow window, and the judge stretched his waist. While putting on his official robe, the servant said: "Your Majesty, I just heard a strange thing from the old soldier who fetched water outside. Would you like to see me?" Do you hear me?"

"Nagging!" The judge raised his arms impatiently so that the servant could put on the belt for him: "Say it!"

"Yes, sir!" The servant brought official boots from the side and put them on the boat for the master, and said with a smile: "That's what happened, at noon the day before yesterday, a boat hit the rocks on the seaside of Fuguo County, and all kinds of sundries were floating everywhere. Yes, the local people took their own boats to salvage. Not to mention, there are many good things in those sundries, and many people made a fortune from it. After the news spread, there were even more people. Even the nearby counties The fishermen stopped fishing and came here with their boats to try their luck..."

"Nagging, pick up the important ones and talk about it!" the judge said.

"Yes, yes, the villain will pick up the important ones!" The servant had already put on the judge's boots, and began to comb the judge's hair: "What about the people who came later? They didn't have such good luck, and they didn't catch anything valuable. , but what? Someone caught a person, but it is an important person!"

"Who?" asked the judge.
