Chapter 40: Envoys of the Jin Kingdom
"Who is here? Let's sign up!" Liu Yixuan shouted loudly outside the city tower.
The golden man was wearing a brocade hat and sable fur, riding a tall horse, calm and composed, and slowly walked down the city. From his appearance, he could see that he was definitely not an ordinary soldier.
"I'm asking you something. If I don't say it, I'll shoot an arrow!" Liu Yixuan was very upset when he saw that the person coming was not birding with him, so he had to threaten him loudly.
The man walked to the moat and spoke, "I am an envoy of the Jin Kingdom. I have a letter from the Great Jin Emperor in my hand. I want to see your emperor!"
"Entertain? How do you prove your identity? You can't be here to assassinate our emperor, right?" Liu Yixuan distrusts these golden men, and doesn't know what tricks they are playing.
The envoy of the Jin Kingdom said, "I have a letter of nationality here, I will hand it over to your emperor and an envoy. Come and take a look!" He raised the envoy in his hand high.
Liu Yixuan went from far away and saw a large string of fancy brocade pompeople, who he didn't know, so he hurriedly asked Wang Zichun beside him, "Brother, do you think the things in his hand are envoys?"
Wang Zichun also took a closer look and said, "It seems that yes, I have never seen what the envoy of the Jin Kingdom looks like!"
Liu Yixuan felt that the Jin soldiers were still stationed outside the city at this time. Although they had not captured Bianjing City for a long time, there was no sign of retreating. At this time, the envoys must have been cheated. He hurriedly shouted to him: "Our emperor doesn't want to see you. You have come all the way. Don't you just want to fight? If you want to fight, fight, don't let go, don't talk nonsense!"
The envoy under the city looked surprised when he heard this. He didn't know who was upstairs, and even took the emperor's house. He quickly asked him: "Who are you? Why dare you stop me? I advise you to inform you of the emperor quickly, so as not to miss the major affairs of the two countries!"
"Don't come with me, who knows what you are trying to be fooled? You are doing well, but you run to the Central Plains to bully us. You want to play tricks again now. Don't think I don't know! Our emperor doesn't want to see you, so you should withdraw your troops and go back to your hometown in Northeast China!" Liu Yixuan cursed loudly on the city tower.
Wang Zichun hurriedly stopped him, "Hey, Brother Liu, don't talk nonsense! This kind of thing is not something we can do, so I'd better send someone to report to Lord Li and let him make an idea!" Wang Zichun was really worried that he would cause any trouble if he was unrestrained.
"What are you reporting to? This is obviously the Jin man's treacherous plan, so the emperor cannot see them!"
"Is it a treacherous plan? If you and I have a low position, how can you make the decision? Let Lord Li make the decision!" As he said that, he called the commander and asked him to go to the Ministry of War and report it to the Minister of War Li Gang.
In less than half an hour, the messenger came back quickly and said, "Mr. Li has reported to the emperor that the emperor has allowed the Jin envoys to enter the palace to meet the king. Lord Li also asked the villain to bring the two messages to the two, and asked the two masters to take the Jin envoys to the Xuande Gate to wait for the order!"
When Liu Yixuan heard that Qinzong wanted to see the Jin envoy, he had no choice but to put down the suspension bridge and let the Jin envoy enter the city.
Liu Yixuan asked the Jin envoy to come to see him. After a careful look at him, he saw that he was of medium figure, dark face, disdainful face, and arrogant.
"Hey, it depends on your awesomeness. What's the situation? What awesomeness? Brothers, take off his clothes!" Liu Yixuan shouted, wanting to give the Jin envoy a warning.
"What are you going to do? I am the fourth-grade imperial envoy sent by the Emperor of Jin. How dare you be rude?" The envoy of Jin was staring at his eyes and shouting loudly, his beard standing up.
"What a bullshit imperial envoy? It's not easy to work in our Song Dynasty. When you come to us, you have to follow our rules. If you want to see our lord, who knows if there are any daggers and hidden weapons hidden on you? I will think about the safety of my Lord, check it carefully and take it off for me!"
Several soldiers rushed up and wanted to strip his clothes.
The envoy hugged his body, afraid that he would lose his body and lose his reputation. He shouted to them again: "Stop, stop, I have been to the Song Dynasty several times, why did I have not searched like this before, why did I take off my clothes?"
"Hmph, I haven't come to the Song Dynasty before. Today I have to change the rules if you catch up! Don't worry, don't be afraid. My brothers are not very interested in men. Let's take it off obediently, so we can save us from doing it!" Liu Yixuan said with a wretched smile.
These words made the Jin envoys even more worried. The hundreds of soldiers from the Song Kingdom surrounded him, all looking at him. How could he take off his clothes? "Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated. I will never take off my clothes!"
"Hehe, I'm quite strong. I won't kill you, I'll insult you! Brothers, why are you polite to him? Come on me!"
Liu Yixuan waved his hand and the soldiers around him surrounded the envoys of the Jin Kingdom. Several people grabbed their arms and held their legs and tore off his clothes. After a while of tearing, the envoy took off only a pair of underwear and shivered while covering his crotch.
"Sir, please look!" A soldier searched for an exquisite waist knife.
Liu Yixuan took the knife and said to the envoy: "Tell me what this is! How dare you hide a weapon in your body? Where is your intention?"
The envoy was stripped of his clothes and had long lost his arrogance. He shrank and replied, "This is just a waist knife. It is used by us Jin people to cut their flesh and cannot kill people. If the lord does not allow it, the lord will not bring it. Please return the lord to the lord. I can complete the mission assigned to me by my great sweat and ask the lord for convenience!"
Seeing that he was completely arrogant, Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "Isn't it over to speak like this? I don't like those who are awesome all day long!"
Liu Yixuan said to several soldiers around him again: "Search me carefully and don't reveal any suspicious things!"
Xiao Liuzi hurriedly reported, "Sir, what do you think this is?" Then he held up a jade pendant for Liu Yixuan to see.
Liu Yixuan took it and saw that it was indeed a good piece of jade. He saw that the color was bright, gentle and delicate. The milky white jade was mixed with a few light green patterns. It was indeed a fine jade. Although Liu Yixuan was in the Northern Song Dynasty, his brain had received higher education in the 21st century and was a graduate of the Department of Archaeology of Peking University. When he saw such a treasure, he naturally couldn't let it go.
"I'll ask you, where did you get this piece of jade?"
When the envoy saw him come to ask, he didn't know what he meant, so he said tremblingly: "This is, this is the treasure jade inherited from my family."
"Fuck! How could you have such good jade in your wild land? Judging from the texture and color of this jade pendant, it is obviously something from my Central Plains. If I read it correctly, it should be Dushan jade from Nanyang. How dare you say it was passed down by your family?" Liu Yixuan stared at him, which made the minister frightened. He wanted to make a lie, but he didn't know that Liu Yixuan was born in a family of antique identification before traveling through time, so how could he deceive him?
"This, this... this thing was given by a minister in your court when I was on the Song Dynasty two years ago. The subordinates thought it was a treasure, so they wore it on them. If the adults like it, the subordinates could... they could offer it!" The envoys of the Jin Kingdom only wanted to complete their mission as soon as possible and did not want to suffer such humiliation here.
"A minister in the court? Which minister? Tell me about it." Liu Yixuan then realized that the Song Dynasty court had indeed had an insider and had made private friends with foreign envoys. This was a crime of treason.
"This, this..." The envoy hesitated and was unwilling to tell him who the minister was.
"Hmm? Do you want me to take off your last pair of underwear, ah?" Liu Yixuan shouted sternly.
"I said, I said, I said, I told you that this piece of jade was...a gift from Master Zhu of your current dynasty!"
"Oh, it turns out it's this old thing, Humph! Okay, I've confiscated this jade!" He said to the soldiers around him: "This is a witness of the imperial court ministers. It's not that I want to embezzle it, you all testify to me!" The soldiers around him laughed quickly, and no one believed that he was not interested in the jade and became greedy, but he just didn't dare to say it out.
Liu Yixuan returned the clothes to the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, and then quickly took him outside Xuande Gate to wait for the order. The Imperial Guard stopped the way and hurriedly asked about their identity.
Liu Yixuan went up to report: "I will escort the envoy of the Jin Kingdom to see you, and ask you to go in and report."
After receiving the news, the Imperial Guard quickly asked the eunuch who was passing the message to report to the main hall. After receiving the news, Qinzong summoned all the civil and military officials to Daqing Hall to discuss matters, and asked the eunuchs to pass the imperial eunuchs, summoning the envoys of the Jin Kingdom in Daqing Hall.
Liu Yixuan and Wang Zichun were allowed to escort the Jin Dynasty envoy to Daqing Hall. At this time, Liu Yixuan saw his father Liu Anguo coming from the Secretariat to Daqing Hall from afar, so he ran over to say hello.
"Father! It's me!" Liu Yixuan shouted.
Liu Anguo looked back and recognized his son, and hurried over to ask him: "Why did you run to the palace? Don't make a loud noise!"
Liu Yixuan whispered: "I was ordered to bring the Jin envoy to the palace to meet the saint. I just saw my father from afar, and I forgot the rules when I was excited. Father, come and see, that is the Jin envoy. I just humiliated me at the gate of the city!"
Liu Anguo looked at the Jin envoy from afar. Because the envoy often came to serve, he looked familiar. When his son said he had humiliated the Jin envoy, he didn't know what good things he had done, so he could only shout: "You are just a seventh-rank lieutenant and cannot come to the palace to face the king. You are honest outside and don't cause trouble for me anymore!"
"I know, don't worry!" As he said that, he made a face and ran back to the jade steps outside the hall to wait for the imperial edict.
In the Daqing Hall, Qin Zong arrived, and the ministers shouted long live, and Liu Yixuan could hear it clearly outside.
Qinzong said, "The Jin soldiers besieged Bianliang in the past few days, all thanks to the loyalty of the Qing family and the bravery of the soldiers guarding the city. The Bianliang city was preserved. Today, the Jin Kingdom sent envoys, and I will summon all my beloved ministers to discuss matters." He also said to the eunuch Zhang, who was surrounded by his inner government, "Eunuch Xuan Jin Kingdom!"
Eunuch Zhang said in a deep voice: "See Jin, the envoy of Xuan Jin!"
When Liu Yixuan heard the voice, he hurriedly said to the Jin envoy: "Hey, our Lord has announced you, you should go to the palace quickly!" The envoy had been ruled by Liu Yixuan long ago. Without his permission, he did not dare to walk a step around. When he heard Liu Yixuan ask him to go to the palace, he tidied up his clothes and walked towards the hall with his chest. It was exactly: the evil tiger left the mountain and must be afraid of dogs, and the strong dragon did not suppress the local snake.
After all, what happened to the envoys of the Jin Kingdom? Looking forward to the following text!
