Everyone is attacking me

It is not a one-time event that princes and grandchildren get mixed up in the mission. It is normal to be curious about other countries and want to visit them.

There have been many princes and grandchildren visiting from Zhou to Wei surrounding countries, but they will be notified in advance before they come. Honglu Temple will make careful arrangements at that time, and will send people to accompany them when they go in and out, and they will never leave.

It was the first time that the Prince of Liao Kingdom sneaked here without saying hello.

Emperor Yuanqing couldn't hold back and cursed inwardly. If it were his prince, it would be strange if he didn't break his leg!

"Ask Yang Zhongren to take someone to take a look and see how the envoys of the two countries are injured." Taking advantage of the time when the minister of the Ministry of Rites entered the palace, he ordered Xia Gong to go to the Imperial Hospital to issue an order, and, "Go to build the department and get two sets of glass. The finished product will be given to the envoys of the two countries as appeasement."

Anyway, these glass products were originally intended to be displayed to these envoys. In the future, Wei's business with other countries will depend on them.

"Go and find out more about why the dispute between the two countries started."

This is very important. If it's just for a small matter, it can be resolved without his presence, but if it really involves insults, it will be a little troublesome.

However, it is not very difficult. Due to its geographical location, Japan's status among the barbarian countries has never been high. If Zhou Shi Huizong had a very good impression of Japan, the status of the entire Japanese mission would be improved. When it came to Wei, it would be even more From time to time, they will risk shipwreck to worship, and their status may be even lower.

The Yuan and Qing emperors now have a subtle sense of Japan.

In fact, he had a good impression of Japan at first. Among all the envoys, the Japanese envoys were the most tolerant and gentle, good at reading scriptures, and often sent many students from their own countries to study in Wei Dynasty.

But after listening to the history of their world described by the traversers, the impression of Japan suddenly dropped sharply.

However, the tragic history that the traversers talk about is their world, not Dawei. He will never let the same thing happen to Dawei. In the future, Japan will definitely be included in the territory.

The end of the year was approaching, and the Ministry of Rites was busy. Sun Mian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, hurried over. After hearing the ins and outs, he turned his head and gave Zhou Mingshi a hard look. Why didn't you tell him about this kind of thing!

Zhou Mingshi was cowardly, he was anxious for a moment and only thought of reporting to His Majesty, but he forgot.

Emperor Yuanqing asked someone to sit down and serve refreshments: "Don't be in a hurry, let's see what happened. It just so happens that I have something to discuss with you two."

"After the military parade, I plan to send envoys to Daliao."

The so-called stationing is what travelers call embassies.

The Great Wei, the Liao and the Xiongnu did not visit each other only on the first day of the Yuan Dynasty. If the emperors of the two countries had any intentions, they would send envoys to convey them. Once the Liao envoy came, the Great Wei had to pay a return visit. Of course, if the Great Wei When going to Liao as an envoy, Liao also needs to pay a return visit.

Not to mention the birthdays of the emperors of the two countries in peacetime, the queen mother's birthday banquet and so on.

Now that the war with the Huns has been settled, mutual visits have to be resumed.

When the missions arrived in Da Wei, Da Wei was responsible for all the food and drink. Although there were tributes, Da Wei returned them to the other party in disguise. There are hundreds of people, and this coming and going is a huge expense.

This is not counting other countries. Although there is no need to return visits, hospitality is also an expense, especially for the affiliated countries, more rewards are given.

Adding up all these things together is not ignorance, but one counts them as a surprise.

When Emperor Yuan and Qing heard about the concept of embassy from the empress, they thought about it. If the two countries built embassies, then they would not have to go through the trouble of going back and forth. They only need to communicate through the embassy. Now With cement roads again, communication is more convenient than sending a large number of missions to visit, and in this way, we can also have a deep understanding of the situation of both parties, without having to guess separately.

Maybe there will be fewer people in the future.

If the Yuan and Qing emperors would not have thought of and would not mention this matter before, it is not the case now. He believes that after watching the military parade, the Liao Kingdom will definitely agree.

There are other countries that can also be gradually deployed.

In the future, countries will be connected in series through embassies.

Sun Mian's eyes lit up after listening to the description, and said: "This is a good strategy, Your Majesty is wise! In this way, you can grasp the situation of other countries in time, and you will know immediately if there are any changes, but..."

He hesitated and said: "This embassy abroad, as the name suggests, requires courtiers to stay in other countries all year round. If they stay for a long time, they will change. It is really difficult to guarantee that everyone is like Su Wu."

Zhou Mingshi had already secretly complained for the officials of the Honghe Temple under his rule. It is not necessary to think that the Honglu Temple is responsible for the overseas affairs.

Emperor Yuan and Qing said: "Therefore, there is a need for a rotation system, which is changed every three or five years. I already have a draft in mind for the specific official establishment. I will discuss it with other countries after the military parade."

He is just letting the two of them know for the time being, so that they can make arrangements in advance.

And not only the embassy, ​​he also plans to open a new newspaper, which is specially in charge of the embassy, ​​called the International Times. Learn about the countries around you.

The publication and distribution of the newspaper is entirely in the charge of Da Wei, and only Chinese characters are used, and it will be sold in both countries at the same time, but Da Wei is only responsible for the Chinese version. If other countries want to publish it, they can translate and print it themselves.

Movable type printing improved by the traversers is now only available in the Great Wei Dynasty. Except for the upper stubborn nobles, the Daliao and the Huns have already been Sinicized, and they don’t need to print by themselves. But other countries, even if they want to print, I’m afraid they can’t afford it. As a result, if you want to read newspapers, you must first learn Chinese characters.

More importantly, once the International Times is recognized by various countries and has gained a firm foothold in various countries, the subtle guidance of public opinion will be self-evident.

Enlighten the barbarians, invade culture, promote brainwashing, and even advertise fresh products from Dawei. In the world of the traversers, later generations advocate the fact that the moon in foreign countries is relatively round. Wei is.

Emperor Yuan and Qing discussed the specific role of the embassy with the two of them.

Half an hour later, the imperial physician who went for the consultation and the companions in charge of the two countries entered the palace to report back.

To reassure everyone, the envoys of the two countries are not seriously injured. The Japanese envoys are already awake, and the wounds on their bodies are all flesh wounds. They can be healed after rest and applying some medicine, but the prince of Daliao who concealed his identity was injured. The one was a bit heavier and broke his right calf. Fortunately, another envoy from the Liao Kingdom straightened the bone in time, and after three to five months of intensive care, he will recover.

As for the reason for the dispute, each has their own opinions. The Liao envoy said that he heard the Japanese envoy talking about insulting the Liao in his own language. My lady, no one paid attention to what happened, and the accompanying prostitutes and maids couldn't understand the Japanese dialect at all. Only the person involved knew the truth.

Three to five months?Emperor Yuan and Qing frowned. In this way, the prince of Daliao might have to stay in Wei for a while, but thinking of the embassy and the International Times, he pondered for a while, and it might not be possible to keep the prince of Daliao for a few more days. Not a good thing.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard a servant report that the Prince of Liao Kingdom wanted him to bring him a message.

"tell me the story."

Zheng Fangcheng, the attendant in charge of Daliao, bit the bullet and said: "Return to Your Majesty..." He took a breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "Young master, I do things by myself, and I just think that the Japanese are not pleasing to the eyes. If they dare to have objections, tell them to come to my young master. !"

After finishing speaking in one breath, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, forgive me. These are the original words of Liu Yuan. He specially ordered the minister to convey it without changing a word."

Emperor Yuan Qing was speechless, if this was his prince, he would break the other leg first.

The accompanying minister in charge of Japan on the other side said: "The Japanese envoys ask His Majesty to make decisions for them."

Emperor Yuan Qing raised his eyebrows: "Do they know the identity of the Prince of Liao Kingdom?"

The companion said: "I don't know."

"Since that's the case, you just pass on the words of the Prince of Liao to the Japanese envoys, including his identity. No matter what the reason for their dispute, the Japanese envoys are the first to strike."

In fact, the Japanese envoys don't make sense at all, and if it hurts ordinary envoys, he can still make peace, but it hurts the prince of the Liao Kingdom. The envoys of the Liao Kingdom should trouble them. He should be the master. It is for the envoys of the Liao Kingdom to call the shots.

"Yes." Everyone agreed.

Emperor Yuan and Qing said to Zhou Mingshi again: "Since the other party is the prince, let Qing go to visit him personally, and see why the prince of Liao came to our great Wei."

I wanted to say to send someone to guard, but thinking about the other party's broken leg, I don't have the strength to mess around anymore.

The dispute between the envoys of the two countries was resolved, and the New Year's Eve was getting closer.

The flavor of the New Year in Chang'an City is getting stronger and stronger. Once the new year is over, except for selling food and ingredients, the opening hours of various shops have been gradually reduced. On the 28th, the officials finally took a vacation, but they still have to enter the palace on the Yuan Dynasty. Come.

On New Year's Eve, early in the morning, Emperor Yuan and Qing dispatched four of the seventeen guards, together with the first battalion of the forbidden army sent by King Su, to investigate and guard the cross streets on the central axis and horizontal axis of Zhuquemen.

Especially on the avenue of the central axis, one person was deployed at five meters, and a long cordon was formed on both sides of the street with red cloth tied together.

Due to the importance of the matter, the soldiers have been stationed in their respective positions since the afternoon, changing every two hours, and cannot retreat until the success of the military parade tomorrow is ensured.

All the items randomly placed on the side of the road were ordered to be sorted and taken away, and the cleaners carefully cleaned the two avenues.

The remaining imperial guards conducted a strict review of the two squares facing the Suzaku Gate on the street, in case someone sneaked in and lurked on the tall buildings and shot cold arrows to affect the military parade. Although these two squares are adjacent to the imperial city, most of the civilians live in them. Most of the dignitaries lived in a few squares to the east of the imperial city, and with half a month of publicity, everyone knew how much the sage above valued this military parade, so the investigation went very smoothly.

The tallest building facing the Suzaku Gate in Shanhefang is a pagoda. This pagoda has some origins. It was built by an eminent monk during the separatist regime and the war. It was not demolished, and the eminent monk was rewarded. Later, many poets wrote poems for this tower.

Now the pagoda is under the jurisdiction of Xingshan Temple, and monks from the temple are sent to guard it here.

A team of Xingwu guards came in line, knocked on the courtyard door outside the pagoda, and followed the guarding monks to go up to the pagoda for investigation.

"Have you seen any suspicious people in the temple recently?" A soldier looked around and asked.

The guard of the tower was an old monk who was looking at his age, and frowned to show that he couldn't hear clearly. The soldier raised his voice and asked several times before he slowly shook his head: "No."

The soldier asked again: "Is there anyone else?"

He raised the volume again and again, and when he was about to get impatient, the old monk said slowly: "There are also two disciples of the poor monk, who have gone home and will come back tomorrow."

The soldier lost his temper by him, and really didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he waved him away, and soon the few people who went to the tower to check came back, indicating that there was no problem, and they left in a row.

The old monk watched the group walk away and slowly closed the door, turned around and staggered towards the inside of the pagoda. As he walked, he opened his half-fisted hand, and a delicate and small metal object was gently rotated between his fingers.

If the queen and the others see it, they will be shocked, because it is a bullet!

The author has something to say: Liu Yuan: Successfully left (＾－＾)V!

The description of Japanese envoys comes from the old Tang books, and the description of foreign envoys is the most detailed in Japan. At least the appearance of the Japanese envoys sent to Tang should be very sympathetic to the aesthetics of Tang Dynasty.

[In the third year of Chang'an, his ministers and courtiers came to pay tribute to Fangwu.The courtiers are real people, like the Minister of the Ministry of Households of China, crowned with a crown of virtue, with flowers on the top, scattered and scattered, dressed in purple robes, with silk as a belt.A real person likes to read classics and history, interprets the text, and is tolerant and elegant.Then the Heavenly Banquet was given to Linde Hall, given to Si Shanqing, and returned to the country. 】
