Jinyi Night Walk

Location: Shuangyu Gang ruled Xiayangdao, also known as Yangjiao Mountain.

Participants in the secret meeting: one male and several females.

This is a very strange combination: there are hundreds of households of the original Jinyiwei, and now the leader of the Feilong secret spy of the King of Yan; there are Jianghu heroines from the White Lotus Sect; Pirates; exiled princesses with Ryukyu...

The most bizarre thing was that, except for one Xia Xun, the rest were all women.

It was Xia Xun's idea to pretend to be a mission from the Ryukyu Kingdom to pay tribute to Daming.

In history, many foreign businessmen, wanderers, adventurers, etc. pretended to be envoys of the country to pay tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty. In the book, for this kind of thing, we often only see such a hastily mentioned sentence in the cracks, and it is swept away by inadvertently. There is never a specific example.

Due to the traffic and communication conditions at the time, the possibility of this kind of mission being identified as a counterfeit was almost zero. The mission was sent to the Central Plains.Those missions that leak their feet are either because the quality of the "mission members" is too low, and they have no official image representing a country's mission at all, or because they and other so-called "missions" dog-eat-dog, exposing each other's old stories in order to compete for interests , which is exposed.

Xia Xun made up his mind and set a direction, and the rest depended on everyone's collective wisdom and efforts.

First of all, Su Ying stated that she would provide ships, entourage, clothing, tribute gifts and other materials.

Then, Xie Xie draws up a detailed deception plan.

Then, Pingnu, who is most familiar with the situation of the Ryukyu Kingdom, decides the specific situation of the tributary country missions, draws up the credentials, and supervises the production of a series of fake seals and fake customs defenses.

Pingnu, who has always been cheerful, said shyly to everyone: "Our Liuqiu is currently known to Da Ming, only the Shannan Kingdom, Shanbei Kingdom and Zhongshan Kingdom. There are many other small countries, and it is difficult for Da Ming to understand. Our The country is called Kabala, and it is actually very small. Perhaps in the Central Plains, it is only equivalent to a small tribe. It is impossible for Da Ming to know its demise. However, Master Yang said, we must try our best to attract Da Ming's attention. In addition to having the prince lead the mission to show grandeur, we also need to make our country as strong as possible."

When Pingnu said this, she looked around and saw that everyone was nodding, only Xiaodi who was sitting in the corner looked at her, hesitant to speak.

Pingnu stopped the introduction and asked, "What's your question?"

"Well, I have a question!"

"Shh!"

All eyes were on Xiaodi, Xia Xun was very surprised and looked at Xiaodi with admiration.Everyone didn't hear the problem, but she actually heard the problem, which is rare.

Ping Nu said politely: "Say it."

Xiao Di earnestly asked for advice: "I'm very surprised, why do the people there speak fluent Chinese?"

With a "crash", those who were listening were completely overwhelmed.

Pingnu couldn't help laughing, and replied with a smile: "Of course we have our own language, clothing, customs, and culture. But in our place, the noble and powerful people all wear Hanfu and speak Chinese." , otherwise people will look down upon us. Our reign name is the reign name of Ming Dynasty, and our official documents, treaties, history books, etc. must be written in Chinese.

Even the most powerful Zhongshan country in our country, the palace of its capital, Shuri Castle, is not facing south but facing west, that is, facing the direction of the Great Ming capital.During the Chinese New Year, the kings of all countries in our country have to worship in the direction of Ming Dynasty in the palace. Therefore, it is normal for us to speak Chinese, wear Chinese clothes and even take Chinese names. In relatively large countries like Zhongshan and Shanbei, we often Send the nephew of the scholar-official family to Daming to learn Chinese. "

Speaking of this, Ping Nu sighed softly, and said quietly: "Actually, in our place, since the Ryukyu Kingdom was divided into three, Zhongshan, Shannan, and Shanbei have been fighting with each other. Later, it was also Emperor Hongwu who heard Said that our three Ryukyu countries are fighting each other, so we issued an edict ordering the three Ryukyu countries to stop their troops and support their people, and not to attack each other.

The kings of the Three Kingdoms did not dare to disobey the orders of the emperors of the previous country, so they had to stop fighting.However, Emperor Hongwu said in the imperial edict that the three kingdoms are not allowed to fight each other again. They saw a loophole, so they took advantage of this loophole and started attacking our tribes living in the remote North Island. My kingdom is like this by them..."

Ping Nu felt sad for a while, then regained her spirits, and said: "Kabala is too famous, maybe it won't attract the attention of the emperor of Shang Kingdom, and the three countries of Shannan, Zhongshan, and Shanbei went to Daming to pay tribute to Emperor Hongwu a few years ago. However, I don't know how much the Ming court knows about them, so it would be risky to pretend to be the prince of their country. Therefore, we might as well choose another name, which sounds like a relatively powerful kingdom. Our envoy The country...is called Shandong, how about it?"

With a "crash", everyone present was knocked down again.

Xia Xun suppressed a smile and coughed, "Ping...Princess, Shandong...well, this name already exists."

"Is that so..."

Ping Nu was a little disappointed, she thought about it, and said happily: "Then... our name is Shanxi?"

"Shanxi... also...has..."

Xia Xun's face turned red, and he replied with difficulty, holding back a laugh.

Ping Nu frowned, and wondered, "It's strange, where are these two countries? I've never heard of them, so what should we call them?"

Su Ying said with a smile: "Shandong, Shanxi, Shannan, Shanbei and even Zhongshan (Zhongshan) already exist, so let's call it the front of the mountain, or the back of the mountain!"

Xia Xun rubbed his nose and said helplessly, "Do we have to compete with the mountain?"

Su Ying rolled her eyes at him and said, "Apart from the islands there are only mountains, what is it called?"

Xia Xun said depressedly: "Well, you see, should I be the prince in front of the mountain or the prince behind the mountain?"

"Whether it's in front of the mountain or behind the mountain, you can't be a prince!"

Ignoring everyone's comments at all, Xie Xie, who had been burying her head in sketching, suddenly raised her head and said in a deep voice: "Just now, Caiping girl also said that the Ryukyu people admire Hanfu and Chinese, and their clothes are generally similar to those of the Central Plains. You have a big beard, and if you take a sudden glance, people who know you will also be stunned. If you take a closer look, it is still easy to be recognized.

As for the majestic prince, people don't care whether they want to pay attention to you or not. It is true that the people you have been in contact with before have little chance to see you, but it does not mean that there is absolutely no chance to see you.If once you bump into him, there is a foreign prince in front of you, can you not take a second look at him?We must take this risk into account.

Therefore, you can only be the person by the prince's side, as long as you can be by the prince's side, it will not affect your work, and there will never be anyone who will stare at you and treat you as a display.When you need to do something in secret without being so conspicuous as a prince you can't leave. "

Xie Xie's expression was very serious, it was her man who took the risk, how could she not be serious?

Xia Xun said in surprise: "I'm not in charge, who else can be in charge?"

Thank you: "Princess Ping will pretend to be a prince and concubine this time, so that she can be inseparable from the person pretending to be a prince, and remind him of his words and deeds at any time to avoid any mistakes. What you really want to do and the people you want to meet will be inseparable." It needs to be done in secret, and you don't need the identity of a prince. On the contrary, this identity will become your hindrance. Therefore, this prince, in the plan, is only used to create opportunities for you and attract the attention of others..."

Having said that, she turned to Ping Nu and asked, "Princess Ping, is there anyone among your people who is suitable to play the role of a prince?"

"My people..." Ping Nu hesitated.

Xie Xie hinted: "It doesn't have to be someone you brought from Ryukyu, as long as you think it's suitable, you can bring it up."

Ping Nu's eyes lit up immediately, she moved her hand forward, and said shyly, "Then...it's him!"

Everyone looked forward with her fingers, and saw that what Pingnu was pointing at was He Tianyang standing at the gate to keep watch for everyone. He Tianyang stood there idly, not knowing that everyone in the room was To see him.

"he?"

Except for thank you, everyone turned their lips away: "That's a prince, just him?"

Xie Fangcai seems to have been concentrating on sketching out her own plan, but in fact, she is watching all directions and listening to all directions. Not only can she hear everyone's plans, but she can also see everyone's expressions and movements at a glance.Ping Nu secretly glanced at the door from time to time, how could she hide it from her eyes and ears.

Ping Nu has transformed from a princess to a princess, and she wants to be by this prince's side. If she doesn't match up with this prince too much, how can there be no flaws?The officials and subordinates of Daming Honglu Temple are not only responsible for entertaining you, so it is best for this person pretending to be a prince to fall in love with this fake princess and real princess.

As for He Tianyang's rough appearance, so what?It's just the princes of a small country in Fanbang. Isn't this in line with everyone's impression? Who stipulated that they must be well-educated, polite and polite?What's more, after realizing Pingnu's affection for He Tianyang, Xie Yufei also observed him, and found that this person's eyes are very shrewd, and he may not be as rude as his appearance.

"I can see it!"

Xie Xie smiled and said: "The prince is just a decoration. With the princess' suggestion, it is enough to make no big mistakes. Anyway, he does not need to do the real important things."

"I can see it!"

Su Ying was the first to agree, of course, He Tianyang used to be an undercover agent next to Lei Xiaoxi, the second leader, and at a critical moment he chopped off the head of Lei Xiaoxi who wanted to rebel and usurp power.This kid pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger. He is very shrewd. Regardless of the fact that he doesn't read much, whoever really regards him as a stunned young man will be in bad luck.Ping Nu called the roll, thank you and Su Ying for agreeing, what other people could have any opinions, so everyone nodded.

Xia Xun, who was left out in the cold, couldn't help asking: "Then what about me, thank you, what should I do?"

Xie Yufei smiled lightly, and replied leisurely: "You, you are a eunuch!"

"what?"

From the prince to the eunuch, is the gap too big?

Xia Xun looked for comfort from others with a bitter face, but what he saw was actually a group of chickens pecking rice. Everyone nodded except for nodding. Everyone's eyes were shining with amused eyes. Standing on his side, Xiaodi, who is the young master's leader, is no exception.

Xia Xun thought bitterly: "These women are too funny. No wonder Master Kong said that only villains and women are difficult to raise!"! ~!
