Location: Shuangyu Gang governs Xiayang Island, also called Yangjiao Mountain.
Personnel participating in the secret meeting: one man and several women.
This is a very strange combination: there are hundreds of former Jin Yiwei, who are now the leaders of the flying dragon secret agents of King Yan; there are heroines from the rivers and lakes who are from the White Lotus Sect; there are masters from thousands of sects who travel across the north and south of the Yangtze River, and up and down the Yellow River; there are Shuangyu Islands that travel across the sea
Pirates; there is the *** princess of Ryukyu...
The most bizarre thing is that except for one Xia Xun, the others are all women.
It was Xia Xun's idea to pretend to be a mission from the Ryukyu Kingdom paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
In history, there were many foreign businessmen, ronin, adventurers, etc. who pretended to be envoys of their country to pay tribute to the Central Plains Dynasty. This kind of thing was a very shameful thing for the Heavenly Kingdom, so in our history
In books, about this kind of thing, we often only see a hastily mentioned sentence in the cracks, and we glance over it inadvertently. There is never a specific example.
Due to the traffic and communication conditions at the time, the possibility of such a mission being identified as a fake was almost zero. Even if the court was suspicious, it was impossible to send people to the country mentioned by the other party to quietly inquire whether there was indeed such a mission.
The mission was sent to the Central Plains. Those missions that had leaks were either because the quality of the "mission members" was too low and they did not have the image of officials representing a country at all, or because they were dog-eat-dog with other so-called "missions".
In order to compete for benefits, they revealed each other's background, and this was exposed.
Xia Xun makes up his mind and sets the direction, and the rest depends on the collective efforts of everyone.
First of all, it was Su Ying who took the stand and provided ships, entourage, clothing, tribute gifts and other materials.
Then, Xie formulated a detailed deception plan.
Then, Pingnu, who was most familiar with the situation in the Ryukyu Kingdom, decided on the specific situation of the tributary state mission, drafted the credentials, and supervised the creation of a series of false seals and false customs.
Ping Nu, who has always been cheerful, shyly said to everyone: "We in Liuqiu are currently only known to the Ming Dynasty, only the Shannan Kingdom, the Shanbei Kingdom and the Zhongshan Kingdom. There are many other small countries, and it is difficult for the Ming Dynasty to understand ours.
The country is called Kabala. It is actually very small. Perhaps it is only a small tribe in the Central Plains. It is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to know about its fall. However, Master Yang said that we should try our best to attract the attention of the Ming Dynasty. In this case, we will have no choice but to
In addition to having the prince lead the envoy to show grandeur, we also need to try our best to make our country as strong as possible."
When Pingnu said this, she looked around and saw everyone nodding. Only Xiaodi, who was sitting in the corner, looked at her and seemed hesitant to speak.
Ping Nu stopped the introduction and asked, "What questions do you have?"
"Well, I have a question!"
"Whoa!"
Everyone's eyes turned to Xiaodi. Xia Xun was surprised and looked at Xiaodi with admiration. No one heard the problem, but she actually heard the problem, which was rare.
Ping Nu said politely: "You say."
Xiaodi asked for advice seriously: "I'm very surprised, why can the people there speak fluent Chinese?"
There was a "crash", and those who were listening attentively were stunned.
Pingnu couldn't help but laugh, and replied with a smile: "Of course we have our own language, clothing, customs, and culture. But where we are, the noble and powerful people have to wear Hanfu and speak Chinese.
, otherwise we will be looked down upon. Our reign name is the reign name of the Ming Dynasty, and our official documents, treaties, history books, etc. must be written in Chinese.
Even the palace of the most powerful Zhongshan Kingdom in our country, Shuri City, its capital, does not face north to south but faces the west, that is, towards the direction of the capital of the Ming Dynasty. During the Chinese New Year, the kings of all the countries in our country will be in the palace.
We worship in the direction of the Ming Dynasty, so it is normal for us to speak Chinese, wear Han clothes and even take Chinese names. Larger countries like Zhongshan and Shanbei often send their nephews and nephews from scholar-bureaucrats' families to study Chinese in the Ming Dynasty."
Speaking of this, Pingnu sighed softly and said quietly: "Actually, in our place, since the Ryukyu Kingdom was divided into three, the three kingdoms of Zhongshan, Shannan, and Shanbei have been at war with each other. Later, Emperor Hongwu also heard that
He said that the three Ryukyu Kingdoms were at war with each other, so he issued an edict ordering the Ryukyu Kingdoms to stop their troops and support their people, and not to attack each other.
The kings of the three kingdoms did not dare to disobey the emperor's order, so they had to stop fighting. However, Emperor Hongwu said in the edict that the three kingdoms were not allowed to fight each other anymore. They saw the loophole, so they took advantage of it and turned around.
They began to attack our tribes living in the remote North Island. This is how my kingdom was destroyed by them..."
Ping Nu felt sad for a while, then she regained her composure and said, "Kabala is too little famous and may not attract the attention of the emperor of the Shang Dynasty. However, the three countries of Shannan, Zhongshan and Shanbei went to the Ming Dynasty to pay tribute to Emperor Hongwu in the past few years.
However, I’m not sure how much the Ming Dynasty knew about them. In this case, there is a certain risk in pretending to be the prince of their country. Therefore, we might as well choose another name. It sounds like the name of a relatively powerful kingdom. We, the envoys,
How about... just call the country Shandong?"
With a "crash", everyone present was stunned again.
Xia Xun suppressed a laugh and coughed, "Ping...Princess, Shandong..., well, this name already exists."
"That's it..."
Pingnu was a little disappointed. She thought about it and said happily: "Then... let's call it Shanxi?"
"Shanxi...also...has..."
Xia Xun's face turned red, and he replied with difficulty, suppressing his laughter.
Pingnu frowned and said in confusion: "Strange, where are these two countries? I have never heard of them. So what country should we call them?"
Su Ying said with a smile: "Shandong, Shanxi, mountains, south, north, and even in the mountains (Zhongshan) are already there, so let's call them the front of the mountain, or else we'll call them the back of the mountain!"
Xia Xun rubbed his nose and said helplessly: "Do we have to compete with the mountain?"
Su Ying rolled her eyes at him and said, "Besides the islands, there are only mountains. What else would you call this?"
Xia Xun said depressedly: "Well, let's see, should I be the prince in front of the mountain or the prince behind the mountain?"
"Whether you are in front of the mountain or behind the mountain, you cannot be a prince!"
Ignoring everyone's comments, Xie Xie, who had been immersed in sketching, suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Pingnu also said just now that the Ryukyu people admire Hanfu and Chinese, and their clothes are generally similar to those of the Central Plains. Even if you are
If you have a big beard, people who know you will be stunned even if you give them a casual glance. However, if you look carefully, you will still be easily recognized.
As for the dignified prince of a king, it is impossible for anyone to pay attention to you. The people you have come into contact with before are indeed unlikely to have a chance to see you, but it does not mean that there is absolutely no chance to see you. If you happen to meet him, you will be facing a foreign prince.
Ah, can you not take a second look? We must take this risk into consideration.
Therefore, you can only be the person next to the prince. As long as you can stay with the prince, it will not affect your work, and no one will stare at you specially and treat you completely as a decoration. When you need to do something secretly
When something happens, it won’t be because the prince’s identity is so eye-catching that he can’t leave.”
Thank you with a serious expression. It was her man who took the risk. How could she not be serious?
Xia Xun said in surprise: "If I don't do it right, who else can do it?"
Thank you: "Princess Ping will pretend to be a prince and concubine this time, so that she can be inseparable from the person pretending to be a prince, and remind him of his words and deeds at any time to avoid any mistakes. What you really want to do and who you want to meet are all
It needs to be done in secret, and does not require the identity of a prince. On the contrary, this identity will become an obstacle to you. Therefore, in the plan, this prince is only used to create opportunities for you and attract the attention of others..."
Having said this, she turned to Ping Nu and asked: "Princess Ping, is there anyone among your people who is suitable to play the role of a prince?"
"My people..." Pingnu hesitated.
Xie hinted: "It doesn't have to be someone you brought from Ryukyu. As long as you think it's appropriate, you can bring it forward."
Pingnu's eyes immediately lit up, she moved her hand forward and said shyly: "Then... let him do it!"
Everyone looked forward along with her fingers, and saw that Pingnu was pointing to He Tianyang, who was standing guard at the gate for everyone. He Tianyang stood there doing nothing, not knowing that everyone in the room was there.
Look at him.
"he?"
Except for thanking everyone, everyone curled their lips and said: "That's a prince, is it him?"
Thank you, she seemed to have been concentrating on outlining her plan, but in fact she had eyes and ears in all directions. Not only did she hear everyone's opinions, but she could also see everyone's expressions and movements. Pingnu could see clearly from time to time.
She secretly glanced at the door, how could she hide it from her eyes and ears.
Pingnu suddenly changed from a princess to a princess. She wanted to accompany the prince. If she and the prince were too incompatible, how could there be no flaws? The officials and subordinates of Honglu Temple in the Ming Dynasty were not only responsible for
I will entertain you with food and drinks, so it would be best if the person pretending to be a prince could get along well with the fake princess and the real princess.
As for He Tianyang's rugged appearance, so what? They are just princes from a small foreign country. Doesn't this fit in with everyone's impression? Who stipulates that they must read poetry and books and be polite and polite? What's more, since she noticed Ping Nu's affection for He Tianyang, Xie Yufei
I also made some observations about him and found that this person's eyes were very shrewd, and he may not be as rude as his appearance.
"I think it works!"
Xie Xie smiled and said: "The prince is just a decoration. With the princess's advice, it's enough without making any big mistakes. Anyway, he doesn't need to do the real important things."
"I can see it too!"
Su Ying was the first to agree. Of course, He Tianyang was an undercover agent next to the second boss Lei Xiaoxi. At the critical moment, he chopped off the head of Lei Xiaoxi who wanted to rebel and usurp power. This kid pretended to be a pig and eat the tiger. It was very interesting.
He is very shrewd. Even if he doesn’t read many books, whoever really thinks of him as a stupid young man will be in serious trouble. Pingnu called her name and thanked Su Ying for agreeing. What other opinions could there be? So everyone nodded.
.
Xia Xun, who was left out in the cold, couldn't help but asked: "What about me, thank you, what should I do?"
Xie Yufei smiled lightly and replied leisurely: "You, you will be a eunuch!"
"What?"
From the prince to the eunuch, the gap is too big, right?
Xia Xun looked for comfort from others with a grimace, but what he saw was a group of chickens pecking at rice. Everyone nodded, and everyone's eyes flashed with fun, even those who were supposed to be forever
On his side, the young master and Xiaodi were no exception.
Xia Xun thought bitterly: "These women are so disgusting. No wonder Master Kong said that villains and women are difficult to raise!"
p: If you enjoy watching it, you can scream. If you are not allowed to scream in the middle of the night, then vote hard. I wish everyone a good sleep!
