Compete for the Song Dynasty

Before dawn, civil and military officials and envoys from various countries were waiting outside Xuande Gate.When they were released, the officials and envoys stood in order and entered one by one. Outside the Daqing Gate, the guards checked their identities again and entered the gate of Daqing Palace in sequence.

At this time, the ministers recorded the behavior of the officials, so there was only the sound of quiet footsteps. A group of people passed the gate of the Daqing Palace and entered the Daqing Palace. They were lined up on both sides according to their official ranks.

After the sound of the drum music, Renzong entered the Daqing Hall from the back of the Daqing Hall, and sat on the dragon bed on the throne, with personal guards and ministers standing on both sides.All the officials and envoys knelt down to worship, Renzong announced the exemption ceremony, and each returned to his place and stood on the court hall.

The privy envoy Han Qi said: "I would like to report to the emperor that the farewell of the envoys from various countries has been properly arranged. Please the emperor to implement it for the envoy."

Renzong said: "Thanks to all countries for coming to me to celebrate the New Year, I hope to form a friendly alliance with all countries forever, and communicate with each other, so as to avoid wars and chaos."

Wang Pang entered the imperial city early today. When everyone was preparing to go to court, he had already prepared the things for use in the west side hall of the Daqing Hall.Listening to Renzong's big article, I thought to myself that this rhetoric has not changed since ancient times.

Hearing Renzong's voice, he knew that there was still a lot to say, and his mind quickly followed what happened yesterday and what to do today.

When Wang Pang learned of the results of Xiao Lu's investigation, he told Bao Zheng of his plan.Bao Zheng returned to the palace and asked Renzong for help.The younger brothers went back to Mayer's mansion to discuss, if the Japanese slave monk didn't hit the muzzle of the gun today, he would choose an opportunity to "take" the things back, but that is unlikely.Wang Pang said to He Libo and Lu Shenyan: If it were someone else, they might leave quietly.However, people from this Japanese slave country are born to be cheap.If they have disdain in their hearts, they must be destroyed.

He Libo and Lu Shenyan were puzzled by the two, and Wang Pang explained: "If you want to beat the Japanese slaves, you must be obedient. If you just win against him, he will be dissatisfied and will bite. As long as you beat them obediently He couldn't stand up, instead he knelt down and became a slave. Otherwise, why would he be called a Japanese slave since ancient times."

While several people were talking, Yuexia brought a child who was about the same age as Liu Qi. The child came in wiping away his tears with a pair of black eyes on his swarthy face.

Yuexia said: "You are not at the mansion. I went out for a walk and wanted to buy some lanterns for the Lantern Festival. When I came back, I saw this child sitting on the steps outside the mansion crying. I am afraid that he will go with his family in the cold It's gone. I led it in first."

Knowing that Yuexia was always soft-hearted, Wang Pang saw this and said, "Let him and Liu Qi go play for a while, and send someone to the street to find the child's relatives after he is busy."

Yue Xia led the child out of the house when the child turned around and said, "I'm here to look for this lord." As he spoke, he stretched out his cold red little finger to the side of the king.

Wang Pang asked in amazement: "Who are you, how could you recognize me?"

The child cried and said, "I've seen you riding a big horse on Royal Street."

Seeing that the child was crying pitifully, Wang Pang beckoned him to come over. The child came closer, Yue Xia handed the handkerchief to Wang Pang, and Wang Pang wiped the child's tears and said, "Man, don't cry. You see, uncle never cry."

The boy nodded, and Wang Pang asked: "Whose family are you a child, why are you looking for me?"

The child sobbed, wiped his nose with his sleeve and said: "The officers and soldiers came to my house and took my father away. I beg you to save him."

Several people frowned.He Li Bo said: "Little baby, did your father break the law?"

The child cried loudly: "My father has become a monk, so I don't want me anymore. When the officers and soldiers found out, they arrested him and left."

Everyone who was crying with the child was even more confused. Yue Xia walked up to the child, knelt down and patted him and said, "Don't cry, who else is there in your family? Take your time, or uncle can't help you?"

The boy stopped crying and said: "There is only father in the family, mother is gone long ago."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, did another orphan come back under the moon?

Lu Shenyan said: "Then what's your name, where do you live, and what's your father's name?"

The boy had stopped sobbing, he glanced at the snacks on the table, and Yue Xia handed him the pastry, the little boy seemed hungry, looked at the crowd and said thank you timidly, then ate the pastry

"My name is Tong Xiao, and I have been living in Tianqing Temple with my father, and my father's name is Tong Zhong. My father always said that if he becomes a monk, our father and son will not worry about it." When he said this, tears welled up in his big flashing eyes .

"Uncle, my father has become a monk, and I don't want to go to the Salesian Office, nor do I want to be a monk. Someone asked me why I was crying outside the temple, and I said that my father would not want me to be a monk, and my father was arrested."

When Wang Pang heard this, he immediately understood in his heart that he had seen the name Tong Zhong before on the certificate.It was taken away by the Kaifeng Mansion, of course it was related to the crying of the baby, but because of the certificates and gold and silver in the well outside the Privet Temple.Kaifeng Mansion wants to find someone, as long as they are still in Bianjing, it is very easy.

Hearing that the child said that he didn't want to go to the Salesian Office, Wang Pang said to He Libo: "Brother He, go and find out about this child's life experience." Then he asked Yuexia to take the child and Liu Qi as companions first, and then deal with it later.

So many things happened in one day, it is really troublesome not to have a phone, Wang Pang couldn't help sighing, it's better to advance in science and technology, since there is no way to know this, of course he has to go back to Kaifeng Mansion, waiting for Lord Bao to understand the matter of the ultimatum.

At this time, in the west side hall of Daqing Hall, Lu Shenyan secretly yawned, and He Libo poked him and said in a low voice, "Don't be sleepy."

Lu Shenyan said: "The Japanese slave monk of the dog days, the young master has not slept for two nights."

Wang Pang gestured to him to silence, he knew that Xiao Lu was at Huaiyuan Station the day before yesterday, and everyone stayed up almost all night yesterday.The ministers came in the morning before dawn, but they practiced all night.Finally got Xiaolu and He Libo together.At this time, two people were wearing eunuch's clothes and waiting with him in the side hall.

This meeting has already finished listening to Renzong's farewell speech in the Daqing Palace, and distributed gifts to the envoys of various countries. The envoys of various countries received the rewards and thanked Emperor Renzong Shengming at the same time.Wang Pang and the others became nervous, and the one who was as nervous as Wang Pang was Lord Bao.The matter of the Nine Dragon Cup was a secret investigation by the Kaifeng government.It will soon be the turn of the Japanese Nu Kingdom to receive the reward.

From the beginning when the emperor read out the farewell words, to when the ministers announced the rewards one by one, the monk Kongxiu kept his eyes closed on the top of the hall, I don't know why he thought he fell asleep standing up.Hearing his name announced, Monk Kongxiu took a few steps and stood in the middle of the hall, instead of kneeling to thank and accept the reward, he said instead: "Amitabha, as the envoy of our country, I have something to declare here."

Renzong looked at this Japanese slave monk with a broken leg who was sitting taller than standing. His face was hideous. If his subjects issued an imperial edict, he would have his head moved.However, since sitting on the high throne dragon bed and looking around the hall, there are all his subjects and envoys, so he must always show dignity.

Renzong squinted his eyes slightly, and asked with a half-smile, "Wonu Kingdom Kongxiu envoy, what do you have to declare to my court?"

Kongxiu said: "I have three things to say, please allow me to take the time to talk about them one by one."

Everyone in the court looked at each other, and they all knew that this was the ambassador of the Wonu Kingdom. Some whispered to each other, as if they were asking whether the monk would come to see him on New Year's Day, and what he was doing at this time.

Renzong knew in his heart that the monk was coming to make trouble, but with so many people in the court, was he afraid that none of them could deal with the monk?He smiled lightly: "You tell me one by one, let me listen."

Kongxiu turned his triangular eyes and looked around the court. This time, he also came with the order of the Fujiwara family, to let Da Song go to the name of the Wonu country.he said

"The first matter is that our country is called Japan, and the country of the Central Plains is called Japanese slaves. This is an insult to our national system. We hereby protest. We solemnly declare our country's name as Japan."

After he finished speaking, there was a buzzing sound immediately above the court, all the officials whispered to each other, and the foreign envoys also looked at each other in blank dismay. Is this Japanese slave monk crazy?

Renzong didn't look at the monk, he turned his face to look at his ministers, seeing everyone was surprised and angry, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and others had already pointed at the Japanese slave monk and said, this thief is really arrogant.Only Sima Guang remained silent, squinting at the Japanese envoy contemptuously.

Renzong smiled: "You don't need me to answer your words, my officials can tell you the result." After he finished speaking, he looked at Ouyang Xiu, who had already had a very good impression in Renzong's heart at this time.In terms of talent and learning, it is difficult to distinguish him from Sima Guang, Wang Anshi, and even the former prime minister Fan Zhongyan.

Seeing that Renzong was looking at him, Ouyang Xiu knew that he wanted to hear his opinion.Then he stepped forward and stepped out of the queue, saluted Renzong, turned to face the envoy monk and said: "I think that during the Han Dynasty, an island country from the eastern sea area traveled thousands of miles across the sea and mountains because of its long-term admiration for the civilization and prosperity of the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, the Emperor of Han granted the island country the Han-owned Wonu country, named its king Queen Beiminghu, and granted the country seal of the Wonu country, has your country forgotten its origin?”[

He looked around, and some ministers gave their thumbs up to Master Ouyang Xiu's knowledge.Kong Xiu said: "It's a common thing to change dynasties. Isn't the Central Plains also called Song Dynasty now? Besides, the sun rises in the east in our country. Why not change it to Japan?"

The ministers saw his arrogance, and some envoys from other countries even said, "Yes, it makes sense."

Ouyang Xiu sneered, "Then let me ask you, since you uttered the word 日本, do you know where it came from? It was a word for '日' spoken by a woman in a dead dynasty (Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty). It’s a Japanese country. Where did the theory come from?”

In the side hall next to the king, I couldn't help laughing out loud when I heard the Japanese characters spoken by this woman, associating with modern people's understanding of Japanese characters.Everyone in the court looked left and right, not knowing where the laughter came from.Wang Pang also laughed out loud, and hastily stopped it.

Monk Kongxiu was a little annoyed by this statement and said: "How can we allow other countries to slander our own culture?"

Seeing that he was still unconvinced, Renzong said, "Master Sima, what do you think of the words of the Japanese envoy?"

Sima Guang glanced at the Japanese envoy from the corner of his eye: "Culture? When Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, Chu and Han fought, the Japanese slaves were still in the state of knotting ropes and keeping track of events. They lived in vertical pits with several or 10 people per household. Thatched huts live by hunting, fishing, and gathering. The best characters of the Japanese slaves are singing for the fact that they caught more fish and dug more wild vegetables.”

The court ministers and envoys from various countries burst into laughter

Sima Guang also said: "When the Han people's "Book of Songs", "Spring and Autumn", "Analects of Confucius", and "Hundred Schools of Philosophy" came out, the Japanese slaves were still "wiping the stone axe", "If you get the plains and vast lakes, stop the king from coming. "In Sima Qian's records: Xu Fu brought boys and girls to educate the Japanese slaves in this way. The Japanese slaves called them "naturalized people". Before the Han people came, the Japanese slaves had only raw fish to eat. For food, only stone tools are available, and you, the slave of the country, are still talking about culture without gratitude, and you really don’t know how to be ashamed!"

Master Ouyang Xiu is powerful, and Master Sima Guang is even more mean. He said that the envoy of the Japanese slave country was red-faced.Renzong said in his heart that when soldiers come, they will block the water and cover them with soil.If you still don't accept it, Monk Kongxiu, the best show is yet to come.
