At this moment, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were on the carriage, with Xu Jingzong as envoy and Li Yifu as deputy envoy.
He was sent as an envoy to the Japanese country and brought the "Twenty-One" note to the Japanese country and handed it over to the Japanese king. This was an important task that Cheng Sanlang's Eagle Dog: Tian Can Di Que team received.
Encouraged by Cheng Chuqing and Qi King Li Ke, Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu finally bravely took on the role of envoys.
At this moment, after the carriage stopped slowly, standard but slightly stiff Guanzhong Mandarin came from outside.
"My Lord has a command to invite the angels of heaven to enter the palace."
Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu looked at each other, and their expressions looked a bit tragic. After all, they had already seen this "Twenty-One".
Cheng Chubi's request to them was that they must hand this thing over to the leader of the Japanese country. Their mission would be half completed.
Regardless of whether the other party agrees or not, you still have to write a reply, as long as you can get the reply from Japan.
As for the content of the Japanese reply, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it means that if you complete this procedure, it will be regarded as a great achievement.
"Let's go, the wealth of you and me is here." Xu Jingzong took a deep breath, nodded slightly towards Li Yifu, and opened the car curtain.
Li Yifu pursed his lips nervously, and could only keep up with him in frustration. Xu Jingzong, an old bastard, could always talk faster than him. As a result, he became the second-placed envoy and became the deputy envoy.
I am afraid that the chance of leaving a name in Qingshi will fall behind Xu Jingzong.
After getting off the carriage, I saw a short man with a rather stiff Guanzhong accent and bowed respectfully.
Xu Jingzong returned the half salute with a smile and asked kindly, "May I ask who this is..."
"The lower official is Yuomaro Yoshiki, the young minister of the Japanese Ministry of National Governance. I have met two angels from the higher country."
"Japan..." Li Yifu's face darkened and he exchanged a look with Xu Jingzong.
I saw Xu Jingzong also had a cold expression on his face and snorted coldly.
"Is the leader of the Japanese country here? If this place does not belong to the Japanese country, I, the Tang Dynasty, will take my leave now."
"..." Yoshishi Yumaro couldn't help but feel evil when he heard this. Isn't this so disgusting?
But when he thought of Brother Naka's explanation, Yoshishi Yuumaro could only suppress his inner displeasure and smiled flatteringly.
"My country used to be called Japanese, but..."
Before Yoshi Yumaro finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Yifu, who was also very clever.
"This deputy envoy and Xu Zhengshi have been ordered to come and present an official note to the leader of the Japanese country. Without further delay, let's lead the way quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Jingzong lifted up his front and walked forward, and Li Yifu followed closely.
Jishi Yumaro felt a big hole in his heart and hurriedly pushed him forward. "Angel, wait a minute, angel, my country has received permission from the heaven to change its name..."
Xu Jingzong kept walking and exhaled vigorously.
"That's how to calculate the accuracy of the pseudo-emperor. What, could it be that the Japanese country does not recognize my Majesty the Tang Dynasty as the orthodox one? Instead, they use the orders of the pseudo-dynasty to block the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty?"
In one sentence, Najishi Xiongmaru was stunned into silence for a long time.
#####
In the palace, Kotoku, the Japanese lord who calls himself Emperor Kotoku at this moment, is sitting on the throne. Sitting behind him is his queen, the former Japanese lord Emperor Kogi.
On the left and right sides of the palace, Prince Nakadai's position was much closer to Emperor Xiaotoku than other ministers, which showed his unique status and also showed his identity as a powerful official of the Japanese country.
As for the young Emperor Kotoku, he was originally a minor prince, because Emperor Kogi took a fancy to him because of his good looks, and after they got married, he abdicated the throne to him.
With the support of Princess Jianjin and his eldest brother, the prince, he became the new emperor of Japan.
Previously, the Tang Dynasty expelled a large number of Japanese envoys to the Tang Dynasty, which frightened Xiao De. Fortunately, everyone in the Japanese country thought so.
The Japanese state and the Tang Dynasty were separated by the magnificent sea. Even if the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was furious, he would be unable to do anything.
Unexpectedly, it was discovered that an angel from the Tang Kingdom was actually coming, which made everyone in the Japanese court feel a little uneasy.
Soon, in the sight of a group of Japanese civil and military officials, two Tang Dynasty men appeared in a hurry and walked with their heads held high.
The young minister from the administrative department who was sent out to greet the angel of the Tang Dynasty was trotting aside in an extremely righteous manner. Such a scene made the middle eldest brother frown.
Finally, when he saw the Tang Angel entering the main hall, Xiaode, the leader of the Japanese Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty, could only stand up and nod to the Tang Angel in salute.
"Xiao Wang has seen the angel of heaven."
"I've seen the Japanese master." Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu returned the courtesy without being humble or overbearing.
"..." When Xiaode heard this title, the corners of his eyes suddenly jumped, and he subconsciously looked at the prince, the eldest brother of Zhongda, next to him.
Sure enough, there was a hint of indifferent yet reserved smile on Brother Zhong's calm and intimidating face.
"This is my Majesty the Emperor of Japan. Please don't call the angel by mistake."
"Bold!" Li Yifu once again succeeded in seizing power and raised his eyes and yelled.
"The small country of Erbang is a vassal of our Tang Dynasty, but now, it has named itself the country and named its leader the emperor.
Where did your country put our Tang Dynasty? Does your country want to be rebellious?!"
"..." Brother Zhong really didn't expect that the other party was completely unlike the Tang ambassador he had met before. Although he was also very arrogant, he at least spoke politely.
Even if he is angry, he can only quote a few words from scriptures, but this person is like a cat whose soles have been burned by a frying pan.
Xu Jingzong is also a little hairy. Damn it, can you be a little more reserved? We two brothers are just for the purpose of sending official notes and official documents. We are not here to die...
The old faces of Brother Zhong and all the important officials of the Japanese state also fell.
Even a Japanese official with white beard and hair sneered and stood up.
"When our country, Japan, came to the Central Plains and became a former dynasty, we gave the country's leader the title of emperor."
"The former Sui Dynasty was far more powerful than today's Tang Dynasty, and we don't care about it. As an angel of the Tang Dynasty, you use this as an excuse to make a fuss. Isn't it too much to make a fuss out of a molehill?"
"Okay, okay, I wonder if the Japanese Lord has any objection to this?" Li Yifu suddenly stopped being furious and looked at the Japanese Lord Xiaode with stern eyes.
Xiaode cast his eyes on Brother Zhong, and saw Brother Zhong chuckled and nodded slightly reservedly.
"My country is a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty. There is no doubt that my country is very respectful to the Tang Dynasty and His Majesty."
"Of course, it is the wish of all the people of Japan that we, the people of Japan, would like to honor our Lord as the Emperor. I also ask the angels to be considerate and not to blame too much..."
After hearing the exchange between Li Yifu and the eldest brother, Xu Jingzong naturally realized what Li Yifu's strategy was.
When the exchange between the two came to an end, Xu Jingzong took out the official note with a straight face...
Chapter completed!
