Compete for the Song Dynasty

Here, Bao Zheng told Emperor Renzong about some things in the investigation of the Nine Dragon Cup, and at the same time, he wanted to know the bottom line of Renzong's treatment of Japanese slaves, so that he could tell the king to deal with it when he went back.

On the other side at Huaiyuan Station, Lu Shenyan anxiously waited for Wang Pang and others to arrive.In the Song Dynasty, a post house was built in the capital for the reception of envoys from various countries.The envoys of each major country live in different posts, and the envoys of various countries do not take it as a pleasure to go to the Song Dynasty.

When envoys come to pay pilgrimage, they must first report to the ceremony room under the Privy Council. There are specific affairs agencies such as Honglu Temple and Guoxin Office to receive these envoys. The envoys explain the details of the visit and the time of stay.The Privy Council presented the imperial court's special "post coupons", and these envoys stayed in the designated post houses.

In addition to state affairs negotiations, these are purchased in Bianliang wantonly, and all kinds of daily necessities are collected.Of course, envoys are not businessmen, and they have to go back when the time comes.For example, at the New Year's Day meeting, in previous years, the envoys had finished watching Yushe after the third day of junior high school, and the envoys from all over the world had left and returned one after another.This year Renzong originally wanted to announce the establishment of the crown prince during the court meeting, and specially arranged to send off the ambassadors of various countries at the sixth court meeting in the first half of the year.

When the ambassadors bid farewell, they all left the post house first, and then set out on the road after participating in the centralized farewell. Therefore, if they did not get some evidence or clues today, it would be difficult to find someone when the monk who is free to leave the house tomorrow. [

To say that this empty monk is lonely enough, he has ambassadors from other countries, including envoys, deputy envoys, and entourages.But as we said earlier, the Wonu Kingdom believed that its development in recent years was in the period of complete victory of the Fujiwara aristocracy, and it was passive in diplomacy.

This monk is mostly ascetic. He comes to our pilgrimage on a single day, and stays in the post house when he catches up with the pilgrimage. Such as the New Year's Day pilgrimage, it is also convenient to understand the affairs of other countries. On weekdays, this monk communicates with Buddhism and often stops at the temple.The empty rest monk travels between the two countries all the year round.That's why I am so familiar with the Buddhist policy of the Song Dynasty.

Speaking back to Lu Shenyan now, what he was anxious about was that if he couldn't get the evidence today, after the farewell meeting tomorrow, the Japanese slave monk would not know where to hide in that temple.Besides, he also heard from Wang Pang that tomorrow the monk might take advantage of the crowds to attack the court.They wondered what method this young master and the others had come up with to lure Na Kongxiu out.

As he was thinking about it, he suddenly saw a man and two women coming in from the hall, Lu Shenyan rushed to greet them, it was He Li Bo, Li Enxi and Yan Zhihu.Li Enxi covered her face with a veil and dressed as a rouge tiger maid.

Lu Shenyan took them to the third floor where Monk Kongxiu lives upstairs, looked the three of them up and down and asked, "The Japanese slave envoy has not been resolved yet, why is the Korean ambassador here again?"

He Libo said, took out a name card and handed it to Lu Shenyan, "Has the monk ever been in the shop?"

Lu Shenyan said in a low voice, "I haven't been out all this time, and I slept really loudly yesterday, snoring like thunder, so noisy that I didn't sleep well all night."

He Libo said: "You go, tell me that Princess Gaoli brought her envoys to meet with Ambassador Kongxiu, she has already set up a room and prepared a vegetarian meal, and we have important matters to discuss."

Lu Shenyan took care of Li Enxi from top to bottom and smiled: "Don't say that you really look like this."

Yan Zhihu stared and said in a low voice: "Why don't you go soon?" Lu Shenyan stuck out his tongue and muttered: "The maids are so fierce." After finishing speaking, he turned around and was about to leave the house.Then I heard Yan Zhihu say: "Quicker your hands and feet, don't make any noise, if you hear the cup falling upstairs, come out quickly. Also, if you succeed, come and ask what you need."

Hearing what they said, Lu Shenyan went downstairs to invite the monk Kongxiu.Hearing that the Korean envoy was coming to see him, Kongxiu prepared to go see him without thinking too much.

There are two reasons why Kongxiu went to see Princess Goryeo and the envoy so happily: in the last years of Silla, the descendants of the royal family of Silla established Taibong Kingdom, and Zhenxuan, a local tyrant in Sangju, established Baekje Kingdom. In 918, Wang Jian of the Taifeng Ministry killed his descendants and established the Goryeo Kingdom. Buddhism was the state religion of the Goryeo Dynasty.

Second: The only princess of Goryeo is the future concubine of the Fujiwara family. This was revealed by the ambassador who went to Goryeo with Monk Kongxiu. It is said that the princess of Goryeo is [-] years old and is proficient in wano and Han people. Language, but also the beauty of the country.Thinking of this, Kongxiu took short legs and walked backwards, only hating the long stairs.

Why did He Libo and the others come so late, He Libo went to Kaifeng Mansion early in the morning, and Wang Pang went to wait for Master Bao to come back.Fortunately, Mr. Bao came back early. The emperors are used to getting up early. The early dynasties in the past dynasties usually fell between 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock in Beijing time. After the morning dynasty, they went back to their respective offices.

But today is not the morning court, Mr. Bao would not go to the gate of the imperial city to wait at three or four in the morning.Even so, it is probably too late to return to Kaifeng Mansion after talking with Renzong.Wang Pang told Mr. Bao about the plan, He Libo took the token of the Kaifeng Mansion, and when he entered the door, he had already got the spare key of the vacant rest room from the shopkeeper.

Taking advantage of the conversation upstairs, Lu Shenyan gently opened the square lock on the door with the key given by He Libo, and entered the room of Monk Kongxiu. There was a butterfly lock on the cabinet, and opened the lock again. With a creak, the cabinet door was opened.Lu Shenyan hurriedly listened upstairs, there was still the sound of conversation, but he couldn't hear what he said clearly.It seems that Li Enxi and Kongxiu are talking.

The wooden floor is not sound-proof, so Lu Shenyan listened and felt that someone must have noticed, so he opened the cabinet and opened it a little bigger, and touched it with his hands. One of them contained clothes, and the other contained two wooden boxes.He first checked the position and knotted the knots, and then lightly took out two wooden boxes, looked at them, and placed them in their original positions.

Then carefully close the door and lock it with a butterfly lock.Looking around, there should be no trace left, turned around and left the room, and locked the upper lock again, with a click, which startled Xiao Lu.I said to myself, "Why is this object so loud?"

Thinking about this mentally, I put away the keys, one big and one small, and went upstairs briskly, and asked from the outside: "Guest officer in the room, do you need some more food and drink?" [

He Libo opened the door and said, "No need, you can step back."

"That's right, you guys take it easy, just say hello if you need anything." After finishing speaking, Xiao Lu turned and went downstairs.

He Libo received the message and knew that Lu Shenyan was going well, so he gave Li Enxi a wink.Unexpectedly, Li Enxi ignored him at all, and was still talking to the monk in the language of the Japanese slave country.

This Li Enxi knew the language of the Japanese slave country, He Libo knew it, but seeing her pretending to be the princess of the Goryeo Kingdom, He Libo felt amused.

Seeing the "princess" of the Koryo country talk with the monk Na Kongxiu more and more sadly, He Libo only muttered, this fake princess who pretends to be a Korean is not good enough, and turns around to fool her is really a monk.

Seeing that the Japanese slave monk also sighed, he stretched out his wretched hand, as if he wanted to touch Li Enxi's jade hand to comfort him.He Li Bo hastily coughed violently.Li Enxi had long thought that this Japanese slave was not pleasing to his eyes. He was obviously a monk, and he had been lustful since he entered the room.

Hearing He Li Bo's cough, he raised his head and glanced at He Li Bo who was sitting on the side without saying a word.Seeing him puffing out his chest and pursing his mouth, he obviously couldn't understand what he and Kongxiu were talking about, and he pretended to be arrogant and arrogant, and he thought it was funny again.Think about it, thanks to He Libo's help, I was able to reach Bianjing.

The people of the Wonu country are the same, they have heard that the men of the Wonu country are obscene and ashamed of women, and even monks have this kind of virtue, Li Enxi couldn't help but feel annoyed.Then he asked Monk Xiu: "Is the master willing to help you with what I have said?"

Xio showed embarrassment: "I'm just a monk, how can I speak to the lord of a country, I hope the princess puts the overall situation first." They spoke the language of the Japanese slave country with one glance at me.

He Libo was a little angry, his face turned red with anger, he was angry because he didn't know what they were talking about, this Li Enxi didn't finish quickly.Just about to remind Li Enxi again, suddenly Li Enxi also showed an angry expression, looked at He Libo and Yan Zhihu, and said in Korean: "Let's go!"

He Libo could understand Goryeo, and the Jurchens were born near Goryeo since they were young, which was also considered the border between Liao and Goryeo, so when he met Li Eunxi, He Libo knew that she was from Goryeo.But this is nothing unusual, I am from the Liao Kingdom and know some Korean.It's not unusual for Koreans to know some Japanese.He was careless in the first place, so he didn't think too much after he figured it out.

The three of them went downstairs and sat there in a daze. This Princess Goryeo was really young and beautiful, but why didn't she want to be a concubine in the Wonu Kingdom?Besides, if the Japanese slaves want to send troops to fight Goryeo, it doesn't count if they go back and persuade them not to fight.

At the gate of the inn, Xiao Lu was seeing off the guests, when he saw He Libo and the others coming out, he went up to meet him and asked loudly, "You three are leaving now." Then he bowed his head and said to He Libo, "There are cups and certificates."

He Libo already knew it was just such a simple six words, he nodded to the casually dressed yamen servants of Kaifeng Mansion who came with him, those people knew and continued to stay and watch this monk.

Except for Li Enxi who came to the capital to look for relatives, Yan Zhihu went back to Mayer Mansion, and He Libo went to Kaifeng Mansion. The three parted ways.Xiao Lu also completed the task, and then followed He Libo to Kaifeng Mansion.

Wang Pang and Master Bao were talking, seeing the two of them came and knew that things were going well, Xiao Lu told Master Bao what he found, and asked, "Why didn't you arrest that monk right away?"

Wang Pang said: "Catch him casually. Tomorrow he will retract his confession and say that he doesn't know what's in the cupboard, or that he doesn't know about the Nine Dragon Cup. Although he has a certificate of availability, there is no proof that he sold it. How should we deal with it?"

Lu Shenyan and He Libo looked at each other, what Wang Pang said was reasonable, but just watching the Japanese slave make Sang Xiaoyao feel angry.

Wang Pang smiled slightly: "Tomorrow, the young master will be free to do so, and let the Japanese slave envoy obediently take out the treasure."
