"Has the specific reason for the expulsion of our country's envoy to the Tang Dynasty been investigated clearly?" Tsumotoyo asked.
After the envoys sent by Fusang to Tang Dynasty returned to Fusang, they only said that they were expelled because they had offended the descendants of Lord Datang.
However, after discussions between Emperor Fuso and his ministers, they felt that it might not be that simple.
It was just a fight, and they were the ones who suffered the loss. They could just apologize afterwards, and they wouldn't be expelled directly.
This time, in addition to repairing the relationship with the Tang Dynasty, they wanted to get the Tang Dynasty to agree to Fuso re-sending Tang envoys to study in the Tang Dynasty.
Another purpose is to investigate clearly the real reason why the previous envoys to the Tang Dynasty were expelled.
"Sir, according to the news, the problem should lie with a man named Lin Xuan, who is a Marquis of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, this man is also the future consort of the most beloved princess of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Bai Gangshun
said.
"The Prince Consort of the Tang Dynasty? Do you know why he did this?" Jin Benyang asked.
Bai Gangshun shook his head and said: "This investigation cannot reveal anything. Maybe the fight took place in his restaurant, so that's why he did this."
The expulsion of the envoy from Fusang to Tang was an order given by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Lin Xuan persuaded the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to expel the envoy from Fusang to Tang just because he had a fight in Lin Xuan Restaurant. It is simply a fantasy.
If the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was a foolish emperor and wanted to vent his anger on his son-in-law, it would be possible.
But as far as he knew, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was a wise king, so how could he do such a thing.
"You bring gifts to those little princes tomorrow, and you must express my apology to Fuso." Tsumotoyo said.
Although Fusang hated Lin Xuan and the others to death, Fusang knew that if he wanted to send Tang envoys to study safely in the Tang Dynasty, those noble disciples would not be offended.
Apologizing to Lin Xuan and the others was also one of their goals this time.
Tsumotoyo is the official envoy and represents Emperor Fuso. Naturally, he cannot do the apology.
"Yes." Bai Gang complied.
Jin Benyang said: "There is no need for you to go to the future consort of the Tang Dynasty. I will go see him in person tomorrow."
Bai Gangshun was startled and said quickly: "Sir, how can this be done?"
Tsumotoyo represented Emperor Fuso. In Shirakama Jun's view, apart from the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, even the Duke of the Tang Dynasty was not qualified for him to visit in person.
Jin Benyang said solemnly: "I must find out the real reason why the envoys were expelled before. Otherwise, even if the Tang Dynasty agrees to continue sending the envoys to study in the Tang Dynasty, he can still ask the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to expel our envoys again.
.Shirogoka-kun, you have to remember that we are here with the emperor’s mission. In order to complete the mission assigned by the emperor, face is not worth mentioning.”
"Yes! What you are trying to teach me is that your subordinates understand." Bai Gangshun said respectfully.
…
"Zi Chu, this is what you want." Cheng Chumo handed a folded piece of paper to Lin Xuan.
"So fast?" Lin Xuan took it in surprise and started to read it.
There are densely written small words on the paper, all about the clothing style and weapon styles of the Fuso people. They are written in very detail.
Fusang's service looks similar to Tang Dynasty's clothing, except that it is embroidered with Fusang's unique patterns.
Fuso's weapons are similar, similar in style to Tang Dao, but compared to Tang Dao, Fuso's Dao is shorter and thinner.
Today's Fuso sword has the shadow of the Japanese sword of later generations.
It is said that the Eastern sword was born out of the Tang sword.
Because Fuso was short of iron, Fuso made knives. In order to save iron, naturally the thinner and narrower the better, and the later Oriental knives were born.
"Zichu, the clothes are okay. Fusang people love the clothes of the Tang Dynasty very much. Many people put on the clothes of the Tang Dynasty after coming to the Tang Dynasty. The most important thing is the knife. Fusang's knife looks similar to the clothes of the Tang Dynasty.
The Tang Dao of Tang Dynasty is similar, but the difference is quite big. You can change your clothes at will, but the knife cannot."
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "I know, can you help me get two Fuso knives tomorrow?"
There is a big difference between Fuso's sword and Tang's sword. Even if he wants to imitate, he still needs a sword for him to imitate.
Cheng Chumo rolled his eyes and said angrily: "You think I am a god? This information was obtained so quickly because Honglu Temple already records information from other countries. In such a short time, you asked me to force it.
Can’t make it?”
"Then try to hurry up." Lin Xuan said.
He also knew that it was a bit difficult, but there was nothing he could do because time was tight.
If we don't take action as soon as possible, it won't be that easy when the Fuso people come into contact with the aristocratic family and want to pretend to be Fuso people.
"I try my best."
It is impossible for each Fuso person to have a sword, there must be many.
It's actually not difficult to get it. What's difficult is not leaving any traces.
…
The next day, when Lin Xuan was thinking about how to get Fusang's knife, a servant came to report and Fusang's envoy came to visit.
Lin Xuan's first reaction was to disappear. To be honest, he didn't have any good impressions of the island native.
But soon, Lin Xuan gave up this idea and said: "Bring people in."
As for greeting him, Lin Xuan never thought about it.
The servant came to the door and said to Jin Benyang: "Come in with me."
When Jin Benyang saw that Lin Xuan didn't even come out to greet him, but just asked a servant to lead him in, he was so angry that he almost walked away.
Jin Benyang took a moment to calm down, and said calmly: "Excuse me, please lead the way."
"Please come this way," the servant said.
Tsumotoyo followed the servant, and the guards followed behind carrying three boxes.
The servant brought Jin Benyang into the front hall, bowed and said, "Sir, the Fusang envoy is here."
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said, "Well, let's go down."
"Yes." The servant responded and stepped back.
"Fusang envoy Jin Benyang has met the Marquis of Jingyang County." Jin Benyang said with cupped hands.
He originally thought that Lin Xuan should be eighteen or nineteen years old, but he didn't expect that he was so young.
Think about the young man in front of you. He is a marquis at such a young age, and yet he is in his thirties. Not to mention his title, he does not even have a high official position.
Going on a mission to the Tang Dynasty on behalf of the emperor was not an easy job, and people with status would not want to come at all.
However, Tsumotoyo thought about what the Emperor said to him when he summoned him before coming to Tang Dynasty, and he became even more determined to handle the matters assigned by the Emperor.
Lin Xuan sneered and said: "I don't have any good impressions of the Fusang people. Just tell me your reason for coming."
"I'm here to apologize this time. I'm deeply sorry for our country's envoy to the Tang Dynasty who collided with the Marquis." Tsumotoyo said.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said: "If you came here just to talk about this, then you can leave."
Jin Benyang said quickly: "Master Hou, I brought some gifts to Master Hou this time."
"Oh, what gift?" Lin Xuan became interested.
Jinbenyang looked out the door and said, "Bring it up."
The soldiers guarding the door quickly stopped Jin Benyang's guards. Without Lin Xuan's consent, they could not let these people in.
Lin Xuan waved his hand and said: "Let them come in."
After hearing Lin Xuan's order, the soldiers stepped aside, but kept staring at them.
Tsumotoyo's guards placed the three boxes on the ground and opened them.
When Lin Xuan saw what was in the box, his eyes lit up and he was a little excited.
Seeing Lin Xuan's expression, Jin Benyang felt a little disdainful.
