Chapter 69 Lurking Huaiyuanyi

This Huaiyuan post is also like other post offices specializing in receiving envoys from various countries. The decoration is magnificent. The first floor is a restaurant, and the second and third floor is the residence. There are all kinds of facilities inside. Even every room is an inner and outer suite, unlike Lu Shenyan, where they once lived in a room with two beds.

Xiao Lu took a simple look and figured out the residence of the Japanese slave monk. The shopkeeper of Huaiyuanyi came to see Lu Shenyan. He remembered that he was the housekeeper of the Mayer's house next to the king. He also saw the silver Liang secretly tuggled by Lu Shenyan. With a smile on his face, he took the silver into his arms.

Who else doesn't recognize the prince of Meyer's mansion in Bianjing now? The official recognized that Wang's court was appreciated by Renzong; the businessman's businessman learned from Zhang Yi, not to mention that the businessman wanted to give face. His first businessman was to make a "scent cake" and became a royal exclusive gift;

The restaurant and the restaurant recognizes that he is romantic and elegant, and often gathers to treat guests. Wang is one of them, and the other ones are Fan Zhongyan's son Fan Chun, Zhao Zhongzhen, Wang Yuanze, and others; literati and scholars recognize Wang Wang, Zhang Zai is a university question, Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi also set up schools one after another, Li Gefei and others. ; Even the people's families, how many young men who are not afraid to go to see the horse royal street?

The housekeeper of Meyer's house came to make a room on the second floor in person and named which one he wanted. Not to mention that there were no guests in that room for the time being, even if there were guests to find a room for guests, it was okay. If the prince's capital of Meyer's house was enough to take down Huaiyuanyi, it was like a joke.

The shopkeeper of Huaiyuanyi also heard that the young master next to the king always has new tricks, and he may come up with a new joke at any time, such as arranging the housekeeper to pretend to be a shopkeeper. The housekeeper Lu looked helpless. I can't help it if the prince arranges like this. I don't know what new gameplay he has.

The shopkeeper answered him and ordered the other sophomores not to disturb the row of three rooms upstairs. If there is anything, it will naturally be taken care of by the prince. A person ordered to take Lu Shenyan a pair of clothes from the store. Not to mention that Xiao Lu changed his clothes and then followed his waist. The cat's back, coupled with his smiling eyes, was really so strong.

With little effort, Xiao Lu had a hot relationship with his "colleagues". In fact, it's not difficult. It's a little casual in my eyes. I'll give my little brother a few more money for thirty or fifty cents. The shopkeeper sighed, no wonder the prince's business was so smooth, and he got such a powerful assistant.

Xiaolu's money is not in vain. There is not much time left. You should grasp the information as soon as possible. For example, when do the envoys of the Japanese slave country usually eat, when are in the room, who do you usually see more people, when to go out, when to get up and rest. Lu Shenyan has learned about it. I guess it was almost time, so I came to the door of the guest room with a wooden basin of water.

Hearing that it was coming in, he pushed the door sideways and said with a smile on his face, "Master Kongxiu, I've brought you the foot washing water you want."

In the room, there was a man dressed like a monk, sitting upright at the table under the window, with wax on the table and scrolls. It seems that I was reciting the scriptures just now.

The monk opened his eyes. Because he felt strange to Xiao Lu, he looked at Lu Shenyan. Lu Shenyan ignored his eyes, put the basin next to his seat, and said, "You wash it first. I'll take it later." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the door. Go to the door and listen to the monk say, "This shopkeeper is very face-to-face."

No wonder the empty monk is cautious. He is not afraid of ghosts. He is doing bad things. He is doing the dead Japanese slave merchant he brought to the Song Dynasty to visit him, and it was the man who put the dropped Kowloon Cup with him. And the merchant was assassinated, and the money for selling the ultimatum was missing.

The income of an ultimatum is small, but it is found that although the resale is said to be an ambassador, it is difficult to avoid being implicated in the way of wealth. What's more, he didn't know what the man's death was related to, so he was inevitably worried.

Xiao Lu is also a little nervous. It would be troublesome if he was seen by the dead Japanese slave monk. And he just looked at the monk twice. He was in his thirties, medium and short, with a round face with indeed triangular eyes and a eagle hook nose. Then I remembered the word "Wo" of the Japanese slave. It represents ugly, ugly and short, and this word is indeed a classic.

However, there is some suspicion in the triangular eyes of this ugly monk. Greedness and ferocity did a little shock Xiao Lu. Fortunately, Xiao Lu saw more people. And he was not afraid of the monk. In line with the principle of not messing things up, he immediately stood still, turned to look at the empty monk with a smile, and answered Kongxiu's fluent Chinese.

"You don't know me. I know you. I know your name in this store. I'm from the dining room downstairs. You don't eat there. Naturally, you can see my noodles. The little brother upstairs is sick today. I'll take his behalf.

Kongxiu saw Lu Shenyan and said the same. He was a monk who naturally avoided wine and meat. If he didn't go, he would avoid smelling the smell of meat. Every day, he asked him to send Suzhai to the room, so he nodded.

Seeing this, Lu Shenyan arched his body out of the room with a smile and gently closed the door with his backhand. He seemed to walk downstairs with a relaxed pace. He heard a slight squeak behind him opening of the door and closed it again, so he was relieved.

After Lu Shenyan turned around, he really walked to the door, opened a gap in the door, and looked at the no one around him and the back of Xiao Lu downstairs. There was nothing suspicious, so he was relieved. I went to the front of the cabinet and opened the door. One of the several packages was wrapped in a wooden box. In the wooden box, there was an ultimatum with a few empty names, on which there were silver tickets and some silver taels.

The empty break points, and it is confirmed that it is correct. Cover this box. . Under this wooden box is a sandalwood wooden box. Open the wooden box with cotton, exquisite silk and satin as a lining, and the crystal clear Kowloon cup is placed safely. The empty monk looked at the cup, as if he saw a beautiful woman in front of a jade body, hiding the greed in his eyes and the uncontrollable desire for possession in his heart.

He stroked the smooth body of the Kowloon Cup with his hand, experienced the concave and convex carving process, and closed his eyes with a happy expression. This baby passed the sixth day of the Chinese New Year, and it was his to bring it back to the Japanese slave country safely. Thinking of this, there was an obscene smile on the corners of his mouth.

In the early morning, Bao Zheng came to the hanging arch hall. Renzong was walking in the hall. Bao Zheng came forward to salute, and Renzong ordered him to sit without ceremony. However, Renzong didn't sit by himself, and Bao Zheng couldn't sit there and watch Emperor Renzong wander around.

The room was very quiet. Neither of them spoke. Renzong's face was very heavy, and the disrespect of the Kowloon Cup and the Japanese envoys made him very angry. Bao Zheng rarely saw Renzong so angry. Usually, he collided with the words in the court, and Renzong was very kind.

Even if it is an impeachment between officials, most Renzong is more like a troublemaker. There were rumors among the people that Kou Zhun marched and pulled Renzong's robe sleeve to prevent Renzong from retreating to the court. It is also said that Lord Bao gave advice, and the saliva was on Renzong's face, and Renzong was brainless. Although the matter is not so serious, it's just a rumor, Renzong is really easy to talk to.

Today, even Bao Zheng is a little embarrassed. There are many large and small cases in Kaifeng Mansion. Bao Zheng beheaded the emperor's relatives and killed the sycophants. However, the palace lost the royal things, and in the face of the Japanese envoys, it was not like ordinary cases. They were all contradictions within the people. This case could not be handled well. It's about the face of the country.

So in the face of Renzong's words, Bao Zheng was also worried. Although he knew that Renzong had not blamed the case for not solving the case, the less Renzong blamed, the more worried Bao Zheng was. The official position doesn't matter. It's just that it's awkward, and Kaifeng Mansion has no face.

The things that Renzong was worried about were even more worried. The first big thing was to establish the crown prince. The prince did not set up ministers to make memorials every day, which made it more troublesome to prepare for the crown prince. Every time he talked to Zhao Zongshi, he said: Father, I am not mourn for my biological father. Let's push it for a while.

I have seen people who desperately grab the crown prince's throne, and I have never seen such a desperate retreat to the crown prince's throne. Emperor Renzong didn't know what Zhao Zongshi thought. After all, he was not his own. There are many peeping people in the court. If they are in power too early, it will inevitably attract jealousy, and the prestige of the court can't be convinced.

At present, how to deal with the matter of the Japanese slave state is even more subtle. If it is handled well, the prince's succession will be smoother in the future. If it is not handled well, other neighboring countries will certainly be controlled by people everywhere in the future when they see the weakness of the Song Dynasty. This is exactly what the so-called weak country has no diplomacy.

To be strong, Renzong of course to be strong, but there is Liaoning in the north and Xixia in the west. In particular, Xixia has always been unhonesty, and he has to repair it from time to time. The elite soldiers and strong generals are over there. In the south, there is Tufan Dali. Fortunately, he just appeased Nong Jifeng and continued to stay in the south to resist cross-toe harassment. No, it will be out of reach.

If the Chinese ministers of the dynasty close the gate of the imperial city and talk about poetry and music, they will be full of talent; praise and depreciate impeachment, they will do their best; but if they talk about war, there are indeed few good generals. Renzong should be strong but not talk about it on paper.

Renzong looked at Bao Zheng's rare honesty today and knew that the investigation may not be so smooth. If he didn't open his mouth, the black man would definitely not open his mouth, so Renzong returned to the throne dragon bed and sat down and ordered the eunuch to serve the tea. The tea official presented the newly brewed tea and turned around and retreated: "Xiren (Bao Zheng's character Xiren), sit down."

When Lord Bao saw that Renzong said this, he sat down and said, "The emperor summoned Weichen for the Kowloon Cup."

Renzong was angry and said that Bao Zheng knew it, but when he saw that Bao Zheng took the initiative to ask at this time, he asked, "Have you found any clues?"

Bao Zheng replied, "There is a clue. I found that the Japanese slave merchant and the Japanese slave's empty monk were suspected of reselling the ultimatum. I think I have sent someone to track down the ultimatum buyer.

Renzong frowned when he heard it: "Bold Japanese slaves actually did this, but I didn't know that folk monks still had this ultimatum to resell?"

"I reported to the emperor that Weichen once heard that there was this incident among the people, but this resale of the ultimatum was discovered by the righteous son. That's why there are trace clues again.

Renzong snorted from his nose: Next to the king again, this boy is simply ubiquitous. There is only one day. Has Xi Ren figured out how the court will deal with the Japanese envoy tomorrow?

"I have a ruthless request"

"I knew you were going to call the king to come again, but the king was young, and I was relieved to try an arrow. After all, it's entertainment. However, in the face of Japanese slaves and envoys, I'm afraid that he will make mistakes if he can't cope with it.

"I talked to the king yesterday. He was eager to try. The emperor was so worried, but the boy's elf was strange. Can you let him listen to the court first? If he has confidence, let him come out."

Renzong thinks that the people who can speak in the court for the time being are like Bao Zheng, Ouyang Xiu and others. They can't peep at the talent and learning. How can the Japanese slaves peep at the Song Dynasty?

So he said, "Okay, let him see the world and listen to what the Japanese slave monk said. Even if it collapses, it will be a fight at worst."
