Tokyo's prosperity has developed to such an extent that it is not affected by the weather. Even if there are storms, heavy snow and hail, the hustle and bustle in Kaifeng City will never stop. Therefore, after entering the ambush, the temperament of Tokyo has not changed much, but the atmosphere among the neighbors has not changed much.
During this period, the business of iced herbal tea has become more and more prosperous.
Outside Nanshi, Changchun Street is bustling with traffic and people. The long street has been trampled by traffic and people for many years, and the long street has long been mottled. Under the baking sun, the road surface has become hot.
On the left side of the street, there is a group of tall buildings. From the densely fluttering colorful silks and the fine and even paint, you can see the luxury of the decoration. The three-story main building is nearly six feet high, and the gilded plaque shines in the sun.
, this is the famous high-end club in Tokyo, Peony Square.
This is a place where no one comes and goes, and it is also a place where people can watch and order food. Anyone who goes in and out must be powerful, famous, or talented, and the rich must be wealthy businessmen with hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Different from those Qin Lou and Chu palaces that are labeled as gaudy, Peony Square has a very high style, and the singers and dancers there all possess unique skills.
Nowadays, Kaifeng is becoming more and more famous. The annual Peony Poetry Festival is held in this building. And every year, many of the literati, scholars and scholars who come here are attracted by it.
Got it.
During the Peony Poetry Festival held in the twelfth year of Kaibao's reign, even the seventh prince Liu Hui personally attended the event, participated in the event, and left a poem. On weekdays, the ninth prince Liu Shu, who had restrained himself a lot since being released from captivity for half a year,
I also go to Peony Square from time to time to listen to a piece of music and watch a dance.
With the example of the two above, Mudanfang, which already has a strong background, will naturally become more famous.
The hot summer continues to stimulate the senses of Tokyo residents, but there are always waves of cool breeze coming from Peony Square, which also attracts many pedestrians to deliberately wander back and forth from the door just to feel the coolness of that moment.
A carriage drove slowly and stopped steadily in front of Peony Square. Under the attentive wait of the waiter, a middle-aged man in rich clothes got out of the car, stopped, and looked up at the towering building.
The middle-aged man was dressed gorgeously, but his clothing style was different from that of the Central Plains. It was a more distinctive Goryeo style. His slightly furrowed brows seemed to show off his majesty, and he stared sideways at the attendants who were following him. His tone was a little oppressive: "Is this here?"
"Go back to the waiter, this is it!" the waiter responded with some fear.
"Lead the way! Go in! Find someone!" Hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression became more rigid and he ordered in a stern tone.
"Yes!" The attendant did not dare to neglect and hurriedly opened the way.
At this time, in an elegantly laid out room in Peony Square, a young man in gorgeous clothes, with a red face and red ears, was arguing with a long-faced man opposite who looked like a steward.
Facing this arrogant Korean young man, the manager's reaction was very calm, his face was like spring breeze, but there was a smile that could be understood as sarcastic at the corner of his mouth: "Your Highness, although it is a bit tacky to talk about money here, this building is also a small business.
, the amount you owe on your account has reached 5,000 guan. Do you think it’s time to pay off part of it? Otherwise, it will be difficult for you guys to explain such a huge deficit to your master..."
Of course, the prince mentioned by the steward cannot be Liu Yang. If it were true, even if Peonyfang had a great background, he would not dare to collect debts from the prince of the Han Dynasty.
This young man is the Crown Prince of Goryeo, Wang Nie. Listening to the steward's words, Wang Nie seemed even more excited, even a little angry: "It's just five thousand guan. I am the Crown Prince of Goryeo. How can I short-change you? For these many things."
Money, you don’t even care about the friendship between Han and Goryeo?”
Anyone who can be a steward in Peony Square must have a lot of experience, but listening to his words, one can't help but feel cursed in his heart. For a prince of a country to say such words, he doesn't know whose face he is hurting.
Regardless of Wang Nian's anger, the steward's tone was as gentle as before, and he responded: "Your Highness, the friendship between the two countries should not be borne by our little Peony Square!
You are the Crown Prince of Goryeo, but this is not the Goryeo Palace after all. It is the law of heaven and earth to pay back debts. You are a virtuous and blessed person. You should understand this truth. Even if it is judged by Magistrate Lu of Kaifeng Prefecture, he will still support us.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Of course, you are a distinguished guest of the Han Dynasty and a distinguished guest of the imperial court. We should not be too pushy. However, from now on, we will not be able to let His Highness the Crown Prince borrow credit as we did in the past. Please forgive me. I think Your Highness will not make this small business difficult for you.
That’s why we are in trouble!”
Faced with the steward's words, Wang Min was very indignant. Of course, he was even more ashamed and angry. In any case, he was the crown prince of Goryeo and the dignified crown prince of a country, yet he was so humiliated.
I had the intention to have an attack, but I was concerned that this was the capital of the Han Dynasty after all, and it was in a place with a rich background like Mudanfang. Even if I felt extremely ashamed and angry, I could only hold it in.
In the past two years, it is true that there have been foreigners who, relying on their status as foreign envoys, have been arrogant and lawless in the capital. What are the consequences? They should be held accountable and jailed. There was even an envoy from Zhenla who was arrested and beheaded. The result
However, thousands of miles away, the King of Chenla had to send another person with heavy gifts to come and accuse him.
Although their country, Goryeo, was not a small barbarian country like Chenla, it was still too weak in front of the big man. What's more, when he came to Tokyo with his father Wang Zhao, he originally came to seek peace and peace.
After living in Tokyo for the past two years, although he wandered in the smoke streets and willow lanes and indulged in the prosperity of the great imperial capital, Wang Miao did not make any progress at all. At least, he understood that in the Han Dynasty, he could not act recklessly.
The subjects of the Han Dynasty also attach great importance to the majesty of the Celestial Kingdom, which cannot be insulted at all...
Two years ago, Wang Min came to Tokyo with Wang Zhao. It was actually Wang Zhao's act of suing for peace on behalf of Korea and once again submitting tribute to the Han Dynasty, even though on the surface it showed the good neighborliness between Han and Li.
Wang Min stayed in Tokyo not as a pawn. On the contrary, he took the initiative to stay, hoping to learn the etiquette and knowledge of the country in Tokyo, and felt his sincerity. Wang Zhao agreed, which was a further show of sincerity to the court.
.
However, in fact, the fundamental reason why Wang Min stayed was to avoid Wang Zhao. In the past few years, Wang Zhao implemented a policy of terror and high-pressure in Goryeo, severely suppressing the nobles and heroes, especially in the years of internal rebellion.
The blood will flow like a river.
The jealous Wang Zhao is a bit scary, so scary that even the prince Wang Nian is scared. At a young age, he would rather hide in the big man. And during the two years he stayed in Tokyo, Wang Nian's life was indeed happy and carefree.
Wuyou, for Wang Nian, Dahan is so nice, and his entertainment life is so rich that it is almost too much fun for him. Peony Square is just a place where Wang Nian often comes.
However, while providing him with food, drink and fun, it also represented a huge expense. In order to support Wang Miao's "study" life in Tokyo, Korea also provided sufficient funds, but it still could not withstand the expenses.
Wang Miao's financial crisis started as early as half a year ago. In order to improve, he even sold his treasures in Fuzhong, but he still couldn't be satisfied. Later, he simply lived a life of consumption on credit. The country of Korea paid for it. These entertainments in Tokyo
The place is also willing to give it on credit.
Wang Nian even went so far as to absurdly mortgage his personal maid to Peony House. She was a Goryeo beauty who was well-dressed, good at singing and dancing, and had an exotic style, so Peony House would naturally accept her.
What's even more ridiculous is that when Wang Nian went to Peony Square, he loved to admire his mortgaged maid, and spent money to enjoy the singing and dancing that he could enjoy at any time...
However, judging from the current situation, Wang Nian's happy days and ridiculous times are also in trouble.
It was unreasonable and unreasonable, so Wang Min could only retreat in depression. However, a servant's report interrupted this "exchange".
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you Korean envoys are looking for you!" the steward said.
"Oh?" After hearing this, Wang Nian, who was a little downcast, suddenly became energetic and said excitedly: "An envoy from the country has come again? Please come quickly, please come quickly!"
In the past period of time, Wang Nian was looking forward to nothing more than this. Whenever envoys were sent from the country, they would always bring him some gifts while paying tribute.
When the middle-aged man walked in, Wang Min's eyes brightened even more, and he quickly approached him: "It's actually Xu Shizhong who is here in person!"
The person who came was none other than Xu Xi, the internal history officer of Goryeo, and in Wang Min's eyes, it was as if he had seen a savior. Regardless of his purpose, he eagerly grabbed Xu Xi's hand: "Your Majesty, you are here at the right time. I am in need of gold and silver."
Emergency?"
Even though Xu Xi had a rigid face, he was still surprised by Wang Nian's reaction at this time. Soon, he understood the situation from Wang Nian's words. Suddenly, a dark cloud formed on his forehead...
