"The emperor is here?" Lin Wanrong was shocked. The old man came earlier and later, but he came at this time. There was a lot of mystery in it.
"See you, Your Majesty!" Everyone in the hall fell to the ground. The Korean envoy stood up and bowed his body, without kneeling down to greet him. Ashil, the envoy of the Hu people, snorted with his nostrils turned upward. Tsugumi Takeki was still lying on the ground, let alone greeting him.
The man who came in looked to be in his fifties, with a medium build, a rosy face with a slight hint of paleness hidden in it, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, but a sharp light flashed in his eyes. Wearing a cluster of dragon robes, his steps were slow and majestic, his eyes were everywhere, and no one dared to look at him. That fierce momentum suppressed everyone without saying a word.
Although several months had passed, Lin Wanrong still recognized the emperor at a glance. He was the old man in rich clothes who presented the gold medal to the Prime Minister outside Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. Sure enough, it was him. No wonder he deliberately did not summon me during the military parade, but it turned out that he was an old acquaintance. Lin Wanrong felt happy. This old acquaintance became his father-in-law. He probably wouldn't object to the matter between Qingxuan and me.
"Everyone, get up!" The emperor sat down on the dragon chair, raised his hands, and shouted majestically.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone stood up and stood on both sides. The emperor glanced at the three big chairs in the palace and said with a smile: "Oh, are these envoys from various countries?"
Ashler snorted proudly as an answer. A cold light flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he immediately returned to normal. He pointed at Ashil and said, "This person who looks very different from my Chinese family is an envoy from which country?"
Sumubai was very clever. When he saw something was wrong, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this is the envoy from the Turkic Khanate, Mr. Ashil."
Turkic Khanate? Lin Wanrong was shocked. Didn't this girl first submit to the Tang Empire and then be destroyed by the Huihe? How come it still exists today?
Xu Wei stood next to him. When he saw his expression, he knew that this man was "historically illiterate" and couldn't help but explain: "Brother Lin is probably not familiar with the Turkic Khanate, right? This Turk was originally a branch of Tiele. Legend has it that after their ancestors married wolves, they gave birth to ten boys. When the ten boys grew up, they each married a wife and had children with their own surnames. Later, the Turks became ethnic slaves of Rouran and were forced to move to Jinshan (today's Altai Mountains). At the southern foot, the Turks later conquered Rouran, moved to the east with Khitan and Xi, and merged with Qigu in the north. Their territory became increasingly powerful, stretching from the Liao River in the east, to the Caspian Sea in the west, to the Amu Darya River in the south, and to Lake Baikal in the north. It was located in Dujin Mountain (now the north mountain of Hangai Mountain in the upper reaches of the Orkhon River)."
"What mother river? What lake? What Jinshan?" Lin Wanrong's head was pounding after hearing Xu Wei's explanation.
Xu Wei said: "These place names are from the notes of traveling monks from the previous dynasty. I can't explain why. They are probably in the Mobei area. These barbarians evolved from slaves. They are majestic and fierce. They are similar to us." Dahua has been at war for many years, with more victories and fewer losses. It has occupied a large area of land in the north of our country and has not yet taken it back. "
Of course Lin Wanrong knew what the Turks were doing. Their power spread across Central Asia, Xinjiang, and even Turkey. During the Sui Dynasty, they had already split into East Turks and West Turks. According to historical records, the Turks submitted to the Tang Dynasty many times and caused rebellion many times. It was conquered by the Tang Dynasty and later destroyed by the Huihe.
Of course, these are the history of his previous life, but in this world, the Turks have survived tenaciously and still pose a threat to Dahua to this day.
"Turkish Bijia Khan, I specifically ask this envoy to say hello to the Emperor of Great China." Ashil nodded and said in a stiff tone, without any respect at all, and his contempt was clearly visible.
The emperor's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded slightly as an answer. Then he turned to the empty chair over there, frowned and said, "Where is Prince Takeju of the Japanese Imperial Palace?"
Before Su Mubai could speak, Takesuki, the next step in the palace, had just woken up slightly and was still unconscious. His two guards loudly said: "My prince was seriously injured by your Dahua ministers. When I go back, I will report to His Majesty the Emperor and send troops to conquer." You Dahua——"
"Bold!" Xu Wei spoke in the palace and rebuked angrily: "This is above my great court, how can we allow your foreigners to run wild?" He clasped his fists in his arms and bowed: "Your Majesty, I request that this person be removed from the palace. The two of them are responsible for serving as a warning to others."
"No!" Su Mubai hurriedly came out and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Xu, today the prince of Japan is paying homage to the Emperor of Dahua. There is nothing wrong with it. Dahua is the kingdom of heaven and a state of etiquette. , how can the envoy be punished? Prince Wu Shu's serious injury was caused by Lin San's unauthorized actions. Beating an envoy from another country in a sacred and solemn place like the Wenhua Palace is not a trivial matter. It not only hurts our reputation, but also damages our reputation. It is harmful to the country, and I hope the emperor will understand it clearly."
The emperor's divine light was like lightning, and he glanced at the two guards. How could they withstand his gaze? Their legs trembled and they fell to their knees.
When Xu Wei saw that Su Mubai was targeting Lin San, he said: "Your Majesty, there is another secret behind this. It was Prince Wu Shu who insulted me Dahua first, and Lin San took action because he was angry and unjust."
"Where is Lin San?" the emperor snorted.
"I'm here, I'm here." Lin Wanrong came out with a smile and said with a fist in his arms: "How are you, Your Majesty? I haven't seen you for a few days." Xu Wei was so frightened that the hairs all over his body stood up. This kid didn't care about his head, how dare he This is how you speak to the emperor.
The emperor smiled slightly when he heard this and said: "It's been a long time indeed. Tell me, why do you want to conflict with Prince Wushu?"
Lin Wanrong was startled and said: "Conflict? Where did you start talking about this? It was Prince Wu Shu who said that my subjects in Dahua are all sick and cowardly. In order to prove the truth of what he said, I let him experience it for himself. How can there be a conflict?" Say? Mr. Su, am I right?"
Su Mubai pondered: "Even if Prince Wushu was disrespectful, you shouldn't fight with fists and kicks? After all, you are an envoy of a country. You are good at using force and hurting people in a small way, but you have damaged my Dahua." Reputation has caused diplomatic disputes. In the future, when envoys from other countries come, who will dare to interact with me, Dahua?"
"No, no." Lin Wanrong shook his head and said, "How could it be a diplomatic dispute? Mr. Su, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense!"
Su Mubai said: "What nonsense did I say? Please enlighten me!" [Heaven's Kiss Hand Beat]
Lin Wanrong smiled and said: "Master Su said just now that Wu Shu is an envoy of a country and this matter is a diplomatic dispute, is that correct?"
"That's right!" Su Mubai said solemnly.
Lin Wanrong laughed three times and said: "Wrong, far wrong. I would like to ask Su Zhuangyuan. Is this Japan a vassal state of Dahua?"
Su Mubai pondered for a while, and Xu Wei continued: "It is true. When Taizu founded the country in the past, there were envoys from Japan who presented their credentials to Dahua. This memorial is still intact for reference. "What Lin San said is true."
A smile appeared on the corner of the emperor's mouth. This boy can surprise people every time.
Lin Wanrong gave Xu Wei a thumbs up and said: "Master Xu is indeed knowledgeable and has a strong memory. I admire him. In this way, there is no doubt. Since Japan is affiliated with Dahua, then Japan is my subject of Dahua. I, Lin, Although San is mediocre, he is also a small citizen of Dahua. Please tell me, Mr. Su, why is the fight between two subjects related to the diplomatic dispute? Do you want to separate Japan? How can this be done? Even if you want to, Japan cannot agree? Ah, I was punished."
His explanation is extremely far-fetched, but Su Mubai is a smart man. Lin San's words imply a trap. It's not true if he says he is right, and even less true if he says he is wrong.
"Well, there are some things I did wrong." Lin Wanrong sighed sadly: "Fighting in the Wenhua Hall is really harmful to the country, and the common people are guilty. But this Japanese little chicken male , but he insulted my thousands of people in Dahua first, and then I beat him on impulse. Speaking of which, his crime was not small. He and I are both guilty. Your Majesty, please resign! "
The emperor suppressed his laughter and said in surprise: "You are asking for resignation. What are you asking for?"
Lin Wanrong said loudly: "The common people were fighting with another subject on the Golden Palace. Both sides made mistakes. The common people felt ashamed and asked the emperor to remove all official positions of both parties. Oh, I don't want Yuanzi from Xiangguo Temple. Let's fight. I won't take any credit for it. But the Emperor of Japan is also at fault, so please remove him."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar. Although Japan was a vassal, it was just a formality. Who had ever regarded it as a vassal state of China? Lin San really dares to think!
The emperor snorted and said: "You two are indeed guilty. I will think about how to deal with it."
"Your Majesty!" Lin Wanrong laughed.
Xu Wei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Lin San's mouth was really powerful against a hundred thousand soldiers.
Su Mubai hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be taken lightly. This diplomatic relationship is no small matter. If we deal with the stepmother Wushu and lose the etiquette, what country will dare to interact with me, Dahua, in the future?"
The emperor pondered for a while and then said to Lin Wanrong: "Lin San, what do you think?"
Bullshit etiquette, have Americans ever talked to anyone about etiquette? It's not like hundreds of birds are coming to court! Just deceiving yourself! Lin Wanrong shook his head and said: "I don't agree with Mr. Su. What is diplomacy? In his eyes, etiquette is diplomacy? He is too wrong. Weak countries have no diplomacy, and diplomacy must rely on strength. Why does Ji Gong Takeshu Dare to be so arrogant in our country, Dahua, because he thinks that our country is weak and can be bullied by him. If he insults the people of Dahua like this, should we swallow our anger? Is this still etiquette? Think about it, what will happen if Japan's national power surpasses that of China one day? Will he continue to pay attention to diplomatic etiquette like us? "
These words made everyone ponder for a long time. Our country, Dahua, has always regarded itself as a country of etiquette. Regardless of the size of the country, all countries are treated with courtesy. But what is the result in exchange?
