Liu Mingzhi and his party arrived at the Honglu Temple Yamen Office chatting and laughing, and walked directly into the Honglu Temple under the gaze of the government officials on both sides.
Although the young government officials guarding both sides did not know Liu Mingzhi, the current emperor, they did know Sakai Hoshino, a woman from the Japanese mission.
All the government officials knew that this woman had to go in and out of the government office openly every day these days, so they were already quite familiar with Sakai Hoshino.
Once again, I saw Sakai Hoshino returning to the government office in a grand manner. Although her daughter and Young Master Liu were still with her, they did not come up to check anything.
The officials acted like this not because they were derelict in their duties, but because they knew in their hearts that someone more powerful than them was secretly monitoring every envoy of the Japanese mission.
It should be said that not only the Japanese mission, but also the envoys of the missions of various countries were under the surveillance of those figures.
They didn't know who those people were, and they didn't dare to inquire about them.
When you are on duty, eat and just follow orders.
After Liu Mingzhi walked into Honglu Temple, he subconsciously turned his neck and looked around at the environment inside Honglu Temple.
Although he was already very familiar with the environment inside Honglu Temple, Liu Mingzhi still retained the habits he had developed over the years.
Watching the Honglu Temple officials and envoys from various countries coming in and out of the corridors, Mr. Liu smiled lightly and looked at Sakai Hoshino next to him.
Liu Mingzhi knew in his heart that the place where the officials of Honglu Temple went on business and the place where the envoys were received were not in the same place, so he did not know where the Japanese mission was arranged.
"Hoshino, which courtyard does your Japanese delegation stay in?"
When Sakai Hoshino heard Mr. Liu's inquiry, he immediately raised his finger and pointed to a courtyard in the southwest corner.
"Jun Liu, Mr. Wang has arranged for us to stay in the courtyard between the middle and west courtyards of the second entrance courtyard. Let's go there now."
"Okay, let's lead the way."
"Well, Mr. Liu, please come with Hoshino."
Liu Mingzhi turned his head and glanced at the public room where Wang Hezheng, the minister of Honglu Temple, had his office. He chuckled and followed the mother and daughter towards the west courtyard.
After drinking some tea, Sakai Hoshino stopped and pointed to the quiet courtyard in front of him with a smile.
"Mr. Liu, we are here. Our Japanese delegation lives in this large courtyard. We can go through this arch and reach Hoshino's room.
Because Hoshino and Sakurazhi are women, Mr. Wang specially arranged a smaller private courtyard for Hoshino and Sakurazhi, mother and daughter, and the rooms next door are where our Japanese delegation lives."
Liu Mingzhi looked at the quiet and peaceful courtyard in front of him calmly, and nodded to Sakai Hoshino with a faint smile.
"I see, then let's go in first."
"Mr. Liu, please."
"Please."
Following Sakai Hoshino and his mother and daughter, Liu Mingzhi had just passed through the archway in front of him when he heard a chaotic quarrel coming from the courtyard next door.
Among the chaotic voices were the words of the Japanese and Goguryeo countries, and a small amount of Dalong's words that were flat in tone.
Liu Mingzhi could only distinguish the difference between the words of Japan and Goguryeo, but he had no idea what they meant.
As the three of them got closer and closer to the door, the noisy sounds in their ears became clearer and clearer.
Liu Mingzhi paused slightly while shaking the folding fan, then silently stopped and glanced sideways at the courtyard next door.
"Shut up, everyone. I have just told you that His Majesty the Emperor is currently busy with government affairs and does not have time to meet you at the moment.
Now you just need to stay in your respective courtyards and wait for His Majesty's summons. If anyone dares to cause trouble in Honglu Temple, I will immediately send someone to expel you from Honglu Temple.
.
Kim Tae-eun, the envoy of the Goguryeo Kingdom, please immediately take the troops of your mission and leave the courtyard where the Japanese mission lives.
If you dare to enter their courtyard with your troops again without the consent of Wang Siqing and other lords and the Japanese envoy, I will expel you immediately.
Everyone should go back to their own places. I don’t want to say it again.
Otherwise, if something happens that shouldn't happen, you will bear the consequences."
Under Dalong's calm but powerful words, the noise in the courtyard next door gradually subsided.
"The Japanese envoy Sakai is congratulating you. Now that everyone from the Goguryeo envoy has left your compound, you can go about your business with peace of mind.
However, I want to warn you that without the consent of the officials of Dalong Honglu Temple and the envoys of Goguryeo, you are also not allowed to enter the courtyard where they live."
"Don't worry, Mr. Lu, we will never trespass into the courtyard where the Goguryeo mission lives."
"That's very good, you are quite reasonable.
By the way, don't forget to tell the envoys in your mission not to deliberately provoke the envoys of the Goguryeo mission.
Although what happened today was caused by the envoys from the Goguryeo Kingdom coming to your courtyard to cause trouble, the root cause was the private provocation by the envoys from your Japanese mission.
You don't care about this matter.
This is the first and last time.
If I hear again that your Japanese mission is provoking the Goguryeo mission without any reason, then I will not miss my old friendship.
If something like this happens again, I will definitely deal with the person who caused the trouble severely in accordance with my Dalong regulations."
"Yes, yes, the envoy understands. The envoy will strictly control the people under his command so that they will not cause trouble to you, Mr. Lu.
Mr. Lu, you have worked hard to help the envoy solve the problem. The envoy really does not know how to repay Mr. Wang.
It just so happened that Ambassador Bang spent a lot of money to buy back several jars of Dalong Tianchao's aged wine from restaurants in the city yesterday. Ambassador Bang wanted to invite Mr. Lu to taste it in the room, so that Ambassador Bang could learn about Dalong's wine culture.
, I wonder what Mr. Lu thinks?"
"I appreciate your kindness, but I am busy with official duties, so I can forget about drinking.
I will leave first, you can go and do your own business."
"Here... Mr. Lu, you can have a few drinks."
"Let's talk about it when we have time. I'll take the first step."
"Okay, the envoy will send Mr. Lu off."
"You're welcome."
After the words "please be polite" were spoken, Liu Mingzhi no longer heard any words from the courtyard next door.
"Mr. Liu."
"Mr. Liu?"
"Hmm? What's wrong, Hoshino, what can I do for you?"
Sakai Hoshino turned his head and looked at the courtyard next door, smiling guiltily at Mr. Liu with a guilty look on his pretty face.
"Mr. Liu, Xingye didn't expect that it was our people who caused the trouble first. It really makes you laugh. I hope Mr. Liu won't take it seriously."
Liu Mingzhi saw the slightly embarrassed look on Sakai Hoshino's pretty face, smiled and shook his head.
“Quite interesting!”
"ah?"
"Ah, what? You two countries are under the same roof, and you can't see each other without looking up. It is inevitable that there will be some minor friction between the two parties. This is not a strange thing."
"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for understanding. Mr. Liu, since the matter next door is over, let's go into the room and talk about it, please."
