After Liu Mingzhi muttered to himself, he silently put the rice paper filled with content into his sleeves, turned around and walked directly out of the garden.
He planned to visit Honglu Temple again.
Although I have roughly made a certain decision in my heart, to be sure, it would be more appropriate to verify it again.
It's not that I can't be passive, but I don't like being too passive.
"Master, do you want to go out?"
Liu Mingzhi looked at Liu Song, who came up to him cheerfully, and nodded with a slight smile.
"Well, I need to go out for some things."
"Then do you want a little one to accompany you?"
Liu Mingzhi waved his hands casually and continued to strode straight out of the mansion.
"No need, I don't have to do anything important. Master, I can go alone."
"Okay, do you need to prepare a horse?"
"No need, young master, I will go for a walk alone first."
"I understand, young master. I would like to send you my best wishes, young master."
After Liu Mingzhi left the mansion, his figure gradually disappeared on the street outside the gate of Liu's mansion.
After Liu Mingzhi walked onto the main street, he sometimes stopped to look at the scenery in the city, and sometimes stopped for a while in front of the stalls on both sides of the street.
After about half a stick of incense, we finally arrived at the Honglu Temple Government Office.
After Liu Mingzhi walked into Honglu Temple in a grand manner, he went straight to the offices of the officials of Honglu Temple.
When the government officials stationed on both sides of the corridor saw Liu Mingzhi, they immediately raised their hands to stop him, and carefully looked at Young Master Liu.
"Who is here? Why are you here at the office?"
"Liu Mingzhi."
"Liu...Your Majesty, young brother, please see your Majesty, long live my emperor."
Liu Mingzhi casually closed the jade fan and held up his hands with a faint smile.
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The young government officer on the left straightened up, looked at Liu Mingzhi who was smiling slightly, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with some fear.
"Your Majesty, I didn't know that Your Majesty was so powerful, but I actually blocked Your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
"You brothers are just fulfilling your loyal duties, what crime are you guilty of? Not guilty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, I wonder who you want to see when you come to Honglu Temple this time? I will go and inform you immediately."
"There is no need to inform you. I am familiar with Honglu Temple. I can just go in by myself."
"Young man, please do as you please, Your Majesty."
"correct."
"Your Majesty, tell me."
"I am traveling incognito when I come out. Don't expose my identity to outsiders. When you see me again, just call me Mr. Liu."
"I obey, little one."
"I obey, little one."
Liu Mingzhi nodded slightly, tapped the palm of his hand lightly with the bone of his fan, and walked into the office of the officials of Honglu Temple.
He walked with ease to the door where Wang Hezheng, the minister of Honglu Temple, had his office. Liu Mingzhi was about to knock on the door when he saw Wang Hezheng sitting behind the desk, concentrating on reviewing the official documents in his hands.
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows slightly, turned around and walked lightly towards the room diagonally opposite.
The main reason I came to Honglu Temple this time was to find Lu Wuming, the young minister of Honglu Temple, so there was no need to bother the old guy Wang Hezheng.
When Liu Mingzhi came to the door of Lu Wuming's office, he found this guy leisurely making tea.
Compared to Wang Hezheng's busy life, Lu Wuming's life was obviously much more relaxed and comfortable.
Liu Mingzhi saw Lu Wuming making tea, and without noticing his arrival, he walked directly into the room.
"Lu Wuming, you are living a good life."
"Who? Your Majesty."
Lu Wuming asked in question at first, then his expression changed, and he hurriedly came up to him and bowed.
"Old minister, I see your Majesty, long live my emperor."
"No gifts."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi walked to the chair next to him and sat down, crossed his legs and straightened his clothes.
"Give me a cup of the fragrant tea you brewed, and let me taste how your tea art has improved compared to before."
"Yes, please wait a moment, Your Majesty. I will pour tea for Your Majesty right now."
Liu Mingzhi took the tea from Lu Wuming and squinted his eyes slightly to smell the fragrant tea.
"The tea color is excellent, the fragrance is overflowing, the tea art is good, the Dragon Well tea is good. Compared with many years ago, your tea art, Lu Wuming, has improved a lot."
"Don't dare, I've made your Majesty laugh, old minister."
"Sit down. By the way, pour a cup of tea and sit down. Don't waste this fine tea and your craftsmanship."
"Old minister, I obey, thank you Your Majesty."
Lu Wuming had just sat across from him with tea when Liu Mingzhi asked, "Have you finished your official duties?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have already finished my official duties. Otherwise, how would I dare to taste it leisurely in the public room?"
"Just finish your work. Don't interrupt your official duties just to drink tea."
"I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will never abandon public service for personal reasons."
Liu Mingzhi nodded and took a sip of tea, squinting his eyes and carefully savoring the taste.
"It leaves your lips and teeth fragrant. Good tea. Really good tea."
After sighing softly, Liu Mingzhi put down his tea cup and took out the rice paper from his sleeve.
"Lu Wuming, can you guarantee that you heard the content above correctly?"
Lu Wuming hurriedly swallowed the tea in his mouth, leaned forward and glanced at the rice paper in Young Master Liu's hand.
"Your Majesty, the content on the rice paper is the content of private conversations between the principal and deputy envoys of the Japanese and Goguryeo kingdoms?"
"That's right."
"Your Majesty, as long as the imperial guards accompanying me did not copy the contents recorded by me incorrectly, I can guarantee that I heard correctly."
Liu Mingzhi shook the rice paper in his hand, picked up the tea again and took a sip.
"Bring me the original copy of your handwriting."
"Yes, please wait a moment, Your Majesty."
Lu Wuming put down the tea in his hand and hurriedly stood up and walked to his desk. He opened the drawer and took out a few pieces of rice paper, folded them back and handed them directly to Liu Mingzhi.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Liu Mingzhi took the rice paper casually after putting down his glass, leaning on the chair with a slightly lazy look, holding a piece of rice paper in one hand and carefully comparing the contents on it.
After a long time, Liu Mingzhi put several pieces of rice paper together and put them on the table next to him.
"Well, I carefully checked the contents before and after, and there is no difference."
Just as Lu Wuming breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Mingzhi looked at him with interest.
"but."
"Ah? I dare to ask Your Majesty if you have any questions?"
"Lu Wuming, as the young minister of Honglu Temple, I naturally have no doubts about your ability.
But, can you guarantee that all the Japanese words you heard will be translated into our Dalong words exactly the same?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, this veteran really can't guarantee it.
Although Lao Chen has some good talents in learning languages, Lao Chen is a human being after all, not an omnipotent god.
Therefore, Lao Chen really cannot guarantee that he can translate all the Japanese words exactly the same.
Your Majesty may be unhappy if I say this, but I cannot deceive Your Majesty just to claim credit.
I cannot bear the crime of deceiving the emperor."
Liu Mingzhi was not dissatisfied with Lu Wuming's answer. Just as Lu Wuming said just now, he was only a human being after all.
If we are human, how can we be omnipotent?
Liu Mingzhi picked up the tea and gently fiddled with the tea lid, lowering his head from time to time to take a sip of the warm tea.
"How sure are you of the contents on these rice papers?"
