Compete for the Song Dynasty

When Wang Pang saw that Mr. Bao was upright, he knew that the matter was not a trivial matter, so he filled Bao Zheng's teacup with tea and listened to Mr. Bao's story.

It turned out that Kaifeng Mansion accepted a case before the Spring Festival. A Japanese slave country businessman came to visit me and insisted on seeing the elegance of the Nine Dragon Cup.Renzong ordered someone to fetch it for him to have a look at.After seeing it, the Japanese slave couldn't put it down, and asked Renzong to give him the cup.

Wang Pang was startled when he heard the Nine Dragon Cup, it is the best in the antique collection, especially the one from the Song Dynasty, it is said that one is still in Japan.

In his previous life, Wang Pang once traveled to Japan to see the Kowloon Cup. The body of the cup is elegant and majestic, luxurious and ancient. There are three dragons on the upper part, one of which is a single dragon riding on a building, which is the head of the Kowloon. There are six dragons in the middle. Spit wine, like clouds and rain.

Kowloon symbolizes Kyushu, and the cup symbolizes the supremacy of imperial power and the long-term unification of China.The Kowloon Cup was owned by the emperors of all dynasties. According to legend, if you own this Kowloon Cup, you can drink the world's water and eat the world's food.The Nine Dragon Cup is completely white, without any traces. Only after pouring American wine into the cup, nine golden little dragons appear on the cup wall and bottom, seeming to be flying or playing games. [

Could it be that the Kowloon Cup in Japan was given by Renzong?Thinking in his heart, Wang Pang quickly asked, "Did Emperor Renzong give him that cup?"

Bao Zheng said: "Of course not."

At that time, many ministers in the court were present, and when the Japanese slave asked for a cup, Bao Zheng saw that he was short and obscene, so he looked down on him, so he sneered and said, "How can the things of my great country allow you to ask for a cup?" I have to go.

Wang Pang drank: "Father Yi is right!"

Bao Zheng seemed to be very pleased with these words, and he went on to say: "The people of the Japanese slave country are very foolish, saying that your country has a wealth of resources, and even a small cup is not willing to give it to a big country. Demeanor."

It is said that the Japanese businessman had taken a fancy to the Nine Dragon Cup, but was stolen from the palace. I don't know which minister is so bold.Master Bao said angrily and patted the table down.

As Wang Pang listened, he thought that this Japanese slave had been like this since ancient times, and he was so shameless to ask for things.But what does this have to do with Nadu?

He was wondering and waiting for Bao Zheng's next words.Bao Zheng said, "This matter became complicated later on. The Kaifeng government secretly traced the whereabouts of the Nine Dragon Cup, and found the ambassador of the Wonu Kingdom."

Lord Bao took a moment of luck, and then said: "Didn't you just say that Zhenzong's reign gave courtesy to the Japanese country?" Wang Pang nodded and listened to Lord Bao continue to tell the story.

It turns out that the Wonu Kingdom took advantage of the chaos in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties to form the heyday of the Fujiwara nobles in the Wonu Kingdom: after the Han Zhao and Song Dynasties completed the great cause of unification, they were relatively stable politically and began to rebuild the declining culture, and the overall social culture was in the stage of revival; Since the end of the Ping'an period, the Japanese slaves officially abolished sending envoys to the Tang Dynasty, and promoted the noble culture of the Japanese slaves --- "national style culture".

Due to the negative diplomacy of the Japanese slaves, the Song merchants paid more attention to trade activities. The visit of the Japanese slave monks to the Song Dynasty became the only communication outside the Song and Shang Dynasties, and the monks who entered the Song Dynasty became the main emissaries of the Japanese slaves to the Song Dynasty.

The Japanese monk envoy came with the Japanese businessman, and they turned out to be a group. They knew that our dynasty restricted monks, so they wanted to profit from it, and colluded with the Japanese businessman to resell the certificate. The Kaifeng government is investigating the matter of the Nine Dragon Cup, so they It was implicated in this scalping. "

Bao Zheng ordered to arrest the Japanese slave businessman first, but the businessman was killed on the land of Song Dynasty.The ambassador of the Japanese slave country made representations at this time, asking our country to come up with an explanation on the grounds that people from other countries were killed.

Wang Pang was very angry when he heard this: "The adoptive father simply arrested the Japanese slave Po monk, and cut him off."

Bao Zheng smiled wryly: "You child, the two countries are fighting without killing envoys, not to mention that this Japanese slave only sent someone to deliver a memorial to protest our court's security and other issues through the New Year's Day court meeting, and the safety of foreigners cannot be guaranteed. If this is caught and killed, how can the surrounding countries respect my style of becoming a great country, let alone kill a monk."

Wang Pang also sighed: "It's no wonder that the adoptive father has a big head. Can there be any progress in the matter of the Nine Dragon Cup and the issue of the ultimatum?"

Bao Zheng said: "The difficulty of the Nine Dragons Cup is that no one knows when it will be replaced, let alone which minister is on duty. It is also common for ministers to steal from the palace, and the emperor is always open about small things that are kept secret." Turn one eye and close one eye. It is often said that it is necessary to clean up, but the emperor said that it is not a desperation man who would want to be such a noble person. If something big happens, kill the chicken and show it to the monkey once, and you will live in peace for a few days."

"It seems that the chicken stretched its neck again."Wang Pang said.Bao Zheng laughed a few times, this kid always said a few naughty words occasionally.

Bao Zheng laughed and said: "If you catch it, you will be killed. Now the person who trades is cut off."

Wang Pang thought of something and asked, "Perhaps Mr. Bao remembered the matter of prescribing medicine to murder his teacher Di Qing?" The eunuch was also utterly confused.

Mr. Bao said: "At that time, I knew that he was the one to take the blame, but Mr. Di was involved at that time, and a eunuch committed suicide to take the blame, so it is not easy to investigate further."

"Could it be done by the same person, otherwise how could there be such courage? By the way, foster father, how did the Japanese businessman die?"

The businessman from the Japanese country was looking for fun in the mansion shop with the Japanese girl from the Japanese country. When he heard someone coming to find him, the Japanese businessman went out, and then there were sounds of fighting and shouting in the back alley.When the shopkeeper went over to look, he saw the Japanese businessman fell to the ground. Because he remembered which room he came out of, he brought the Japanese woman to report the case.

The Japanese slave woman confessed that the person who came to look for the Japanese merchant said that she was here to get the degree.She remembers it well.

Only then did Wang Pang sort out these three things. The ambassador of the Japanese country was a stinky monk, and he sold the Duan to the Japanese businessman.Master Bao tracked down the Nine Dragons Cup and tracked down the reselling of the duo, but the merchant died.

The envoys of the monks of the Wonu Kingdom did not come to worship for this reason, and the whereabouts of the Jiulong Cup were also unknown.

He asked Mr. Bao, is this the case?Master Bao said: "Exactly!"

Then he said: "It's very strange that you sent that package, especially that the certificate was issued not long before the Japanese businessman was killed. This thing is hidden in the well, and I suspect it has something to do with the reselling of the certificate. You sent it It’s just right, and it just happens to be checked from this person.”

Wang Pang hurriedly asked, "Does foster father need me to do anything?"

Bao Zheng said: "The Holy Majesty announced that I will enter the palace tomorrow to discuss the Nine Dragon Cup and how to deal with the Japanese slaves. The sixth day is the day when envoys from various countries bid farewell to the emperor. Time is very tight. I am worried that the Japanese slave country ambassador will Take advantage of the crowds on that day to attack."

He paused while talking, Master Bao was also thinking, what will Wang be doing during this period of time?He really hoped that the king could give some advice.

Wang Pang also felt that the time was tight, and he asked Mr. Bao, what is the foster father's plan?

Bao Zheng said that the ministers should let it go for now and concentrate on investigating this matter, and maybe there will be a breakthrough.Think about the matter of the Japanese monk envoy, and see if there is any response from the Sixth Dynasty Hall.Tomorrow I will see His Majesty Renzong imploring you to meet him that day.

As soon as Wang Pang heard it, he knew that he had something to do, but he had to find a chance to fix the Japanese slave, even if he was busy, he had to deal with it.So he promised: "I'll prepare when I go back today, and think about how to deal with this Japanese slave."

Saying goodbye to Mr. Bao, Wang Pang went to Wang Anshi's mansion, met his parents and brothers, and explained that Mr. Bao had something to arrange, so he left the mansion and returned to Mayer's mansion.

When he entered the door, he saw his master Zhang Yi was waiting for him. It turned out that his master Zhang Yi had packed up and saluted and was ready to return to Chenzhou.When Zhang Yi was in the capital for a few days, he would chat with Zhang Yi if he had some spare time. However, Zhang Yi was also a busy person, and the chamber of commerce was constantly entertaining, so the master and apprentice spent much less time together.

Hearing that Zhang Yi was going to leave, Wang Pang felt a little bit reluctant, Zhang Yi called Liu Qi over and said, "I have something to ask Wang Pang."

Liu Qi's parents passed away early, and this child is considered smart, he followed Zhang Yi in Chenzhou and often stayed with the beggars' gang. After a long time, when he reached the age of learning to read and write, Zhang Yi was afraid that he would waste his good time.Zhang Yi asked Wang to keep Liu Qi to see if any family needed a book boy to accompany the young master to study with him, and he could introduce him.

Wang was very happy to hear this. This Liu Qi is young, but the poor child has long been in charge of the family, knows the truth in his heart, and is quite easy to learn. He can also read a lot of big characters, which is no less than that of the teenagers.I have long wanted to give Yuan Ze a book boy, but I was afraid that Yuan Ze would think he was too young, and seeing that the child Elf Meyer also liked him, I thought that even if Yuan Ze felt that he was young, he could stay in the house for a while. , and when he is a little older, he can also help Xiaolu take care of some things.

He arranged for his servants to escort Zhang Yi back to Chenzhou, it was getting late, Wang Pang was thinking about the matter of the Japanese slave country, and he was thinking about how to deal with it, he called Xiao Lu Yue Xia to discuss, and Xiao Lu brought Rouge Tiger along with him come over.

Yuexia and Yanzhihu got along well, although that Yanzhihu was a little domineering towards Xiaolu, but after all, she was the daughter of the county magistrate, she behaved decently and was able to read and write. [

The Yanzhihu who has passed through the door is still domineering, but what makes Yue Xiawang often laugh is that Yanzhihu is not as quick-witted as Lu Shen, but he does things vigorously and resolutely, which is a bit of a woman's style. The servants are somewhat afraid of the Rouge Tiger, and there are fewer people who are lazy and slippery.

This young couple has a red face and a white face, and they cooperate smoothly. Although they are only in their twenties, the Meyer Mansion makes these young people lively.

Sitting around the four people next to the king, Yuexia sighed when talking about the Japanese slave country.Wang Pang knew that she would be unhappy sometimes with her ability to check people's hearts after the broken jade.Seeing her sighing, Wang Bang knew that it was because he couldn't check people's hearts, so he said to Yuexia: "It's a shame, even if you know the people's hearts, you still suffer. It's better not to know, everything obeys the will of heaven." Yuexia listened I was very moved, looking at my husband-in-law with watery eyes, thankful that my father did not choose the wrong person.

Xiao Lu said, "Young Master, what are your plans?"

Yan Zhihu gently twisted Xiao Lu's arm: "You know what your plan is when you ask the young master, why don't you tell me what you plan to do?"

Lu Shenyan groaned: "Mistress, be gentle, I don't have the strategy of a young master."

Yue Xia covered her lips with a handkerchief and snickered, Wang Pang looked at the young couple, and suddenly thought that Yan Zhihu had held the jade for half a day, and wondered whether Yan Zhihu could communicate.So he asked, "Sister-in-law Lu has a plan."

Yan Zhihu said: "We are thinking about the Japanese slave here, and the Japanese slave is also thinking about how to deal with it on the sixth day of the lunar new year. Why don't you let Xiao Lu go to the residence, my husband is just a waiter, I want him to check it out, I don't know if it is too late. ?”

Lu Shenyan said in his heart, my wife is really willing.Looking at Wang Pang, Wang Pang said: "Good idea, it just so happened that the shopkeeper of Huaiyuan Station came to the house the day before yesterday and asked me to go to Fujian to bring him some tea for the Chinese New Year. Brother Lu, you have worked hard." He clasped his fists as he spoke.

Lu Shenyan smiled bitterly: "Young Master always calls me Xiao Lu, as long as you call me Brother Lu, nothing good will happen."

Yan Zhihu said: "Wait a minute, Mr. Wang has to watch people frequently. Tomorrow, we will find a way to send the envoy out, and you go to check the ward. If there is any abnormality, don't startle the enemy, pay attention to the evidence, and don't come back if there is no result."

Wang Pang saw that this rouge tiger was indeed more aggressive and cunning than ordinary women.I thought to myself that the women of the Song Dynasty were also often famous people, and they were even able to do business, and they were not like women in other dynasties who had no status.

But at this time he thought of He Libo, Wang Pang said: "It would be great if Brother He Libo was here, we can have more people."

Just as I was talking, I suddenly heard a loud laugh outside the door: "I have only been away for a month, and my brother misses me." Everyone heard this and looked towards the door.

As soon as the door opened, it turned out to be He Libo outside the door, followed by a young and beautiful woman.
