Chapter 1807 The Yi Mission
In order to welcome the Yi delegation, Ji Chuan sent Prince Ji Jingshuo and officials to greet them.
Zhou Li, the Minister of War, Cui Yong, the Minister of Rites, and Lei Hongxin, the Duke of Huanping, were a strong team. There were more than ten people from the Yi people's delegation, and each side brought an interpreter because they spoke different languages.
As the introducer, Lei Hongxin gave a warm introduction to both parties.
"Your Highness, this is Daimyo Shingenda Takeshi."
Before coming, Ji Jingshuo had some knowledge in order not to lose etiquette. The so-called daimyo was actually the feudal lord of the Central Plains country. He had his own land and manor, and of course his own military force. Being able to become a daimyo naturally meant that he had certain strength.
He only had a beard left, both sides of his hair were shaved, and he had long hair tied in a braid. He was wearing loose and weird clothes, and had a pair of wooden clogs on his feet.
Aren't you tired from walking like this?
Ji Jingshuo, who had a slender figure, looked down at the little man in front of him. Their height was really pitiful, but the look in his eyes made him feel uncomfortable and disdainful.
"This is my Highness the Crown Prince of Wei."
Lei Hongxin introduced it in a slightly broken Japanese language.
"Um."
The Japanese daimyo Shingen Tianwu just responded casually, as if he didn't take Ji Jingshuo seriously at all.
This attitude made the faces of everyone behind Ji Jingshuo darken...
Lei Hongxin looked a little embarrassed and turned to another person. He was a fat man in fancy clothes, with slightly squinted eyes and a smile, looking more like a wealthy businessman.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, my name is Huang Zheng, from Lelang..."
He spoke the standard Central Plains dialect, and his words were correct and pronunciated. He must have been in the Central Plains for a long time.
"Huang Zheng."
Ji Jingshuo stared closely. He knew that Huang Zheng supplied all the luxury fragrances to this person, so he was naturally polite to him...
This person had a very discerning eye and could see the special relationship between himself and Lei Hongxin. He might even guess that he was the person behind Lei Hongxin.
"It's down there."
Ji Jingshuo nodded and glanced at the others. Among them was a tall, white-skinned man who looked very similar to people from the Western Regions.
He is at the end of the team and looks like a follower, but you can feel a sense of arrogance in his eyes...
This foreign mission is a bit complicated.
He also noticed that there were several Central Plains people among them, who should be Wei people.
Ji Jingshuo had long heard that not all Japanese pirates were Japanese, but there were also many people from the Central Plains who turned into pirates and robbed and killed.
He glanced at Lei Hongxin, I'm afraid this guy's collusion with these people is quite deep...
It only took five days to invite these people to Wangjing, which means they have already arrived here.
Lei Hongxin noticed Ji Jingshuo's look, and lowered his head inwardly, and then asked: "Your Highness, what's next..."
"Go back, His Majesty is still waiting."
A group of people got on the carriage and headed to the palace.
The people in Wangjing City still don’t know what happened. They are just curious about why the roads were closed today, but the court officials already know that the Yi delegation has entered Beijing!
They have hope in this. If they can get strong foreign aid, they may be able to change the current situation of Wei...
Wei State, Imperial Palace.
Himekawa is already waiting at Qinzheng Hall.
Originally this place was called Wenhua Palace, and the central ministers of the Wei State were conferred the title of Grand Bachelor of Wenhua Palace, which was roughly equivalent to the cabinet ministers of Daning.
When Meng Hong went to Wei as an envoy, Ji Chuan was offered the post of bachelor of Wenhua Palace.
Later, Himekawa changed this place to Qinzhengden, which showed his determination to govern the country, and the Grand Scholar of Wenhuaden was also changed to the Grand Master of the Royal Palace.
No coincidence.
In the Liang Kingdom, Zhu Zhen's office was also changed to the Qinzheng Hall.
They are indeed a pair of brothers in need.
About half an hour later, led by Himekawa, the foreign envoys arrived at the Qinzheng Hall.
They looked up and looked around, their eyes full of novelty and envy.
This made some ministers in the palace couldn't help but laugh inwardly. In their understanding, the Yi people came from a remote and desolate place. Naturally, they had never seen such a prosperous palace. They were probably villagers from the countryside who had entered the city.
Ji Jingshuo noticed that there was only one exception, that is, the tall man with fair skin.
"cough!"
Lei Hongxin coughed dryly, bringing them back from their thoughts. His eyes kept indicating that it was time to bow when they saw the Emperor of Wei...
But these people pretended to turn a blind eye.
Huang Zheng smiled and said: "There is no such thing as kneeling and worshiping here."
The courtiers in the palace looked sullen and angry. These barbarians really did not know how to educate themselves.
"Don't worry about this."
Himekawa waved his hand and said directly: "It's time to get down to business."
There were not many people in the palace, and the Wei State was full of important state ministers.
"I heard that your country is facing a powerful enemy. I want to come and take a look. I don't know how I can help."
Although Huang Zheng is from Nanlang, he can speak Zhongyuan very well. Although he did not specify his position, he represents the Nanlang people.
"There is a saying in the Central Plains: Open the skylight and speak out."
Ji Chuan said directly: "Wei has indeed encountered some difficulties and now needs strong foreign aid. I just don't know if you can do it?"
