Komura Masao knelt on the ground. When he knelt down, he felt that his mind went blank for a moment. His whole person had lost room for thinking.
Because it's too embarrassing.
As an envoy of the Japanese state, he knelt down in public.
And he even apologized for it.
This approach was tantamount to completely ruining the dignity of the Japanese country and throwing away his own dignity. However, for Komura Masao, easing the relationship with the Sui Dynasty was the most important thing.
No matter how high the price is, it is worth it.
After a while, Masao Takamura came to his senses. He looked up at the huge Imperial Prefect's Mansion. He raised his hands without caring about the eyes around him, then lay on the ground and shouted: "Masao Takamura, envoy of the Japanese Kingdom, is here.
I apologize for my sins and ask the Imperial Master to summon me."
The people around who were waiting for Wang Can to receive him had mocking expressions on their faces when they heard Komura Masao's words.
Everyone looks down on Takamura Masao.
Especially under Wang Can's administration, the atmosphere of the Great Sui Dynasty has become increasingly enlightened, but the hearts of the people of a great country have already been established. Every person of the Great Sui Dynasty has already possessed the pride of a great country. Facing the
People outside the Sui Dynasty naturally have pride in their hearts.
The attendant at the gate of the Imperial Prefect's Mansion received the order and immediately went to report it.
Wang Can came back from the palace.
He has been dealing with government affairs, but now he heard the report from his subordinates that Masao Komura knelt down outside the house to plead guilty. He was a little surprised by Masao Komura's courage.
He actually had the courage to take the blame.
This person is able to bend and stretch, which is very extraordinary.
A person who is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of Japan is worthy of admiration.
However, despite admiration, Wang Can's desire to punish Masao Takamura did not go away. He looked at the soldier who reported the report and ordered: "It's almost evening now. Take a bowl of dog food to the door and put it on Masao Takamura's door.
before."
"yes!"
The attendant received the order and immediately went to make arrangements.
Wang Can now wants to humiliate Masao Takamura, but he wants to see how Takamura Masao will respond. Today, Masao Takamura has reached the point of asking for forgiveness, so under this premise, will he become even more humble?
Wang Can didn't have any good impressions of the Japanese people.
Especially thinking about the beastly behavior of the Japanese people in later generations, Wang Can wished to humanely destroy Takamura Masao and everyone in the Japanese country, and directly wipe out this area. Of course, Wang Can could not really do this, he would just let it go
Masao Komura, but he will not really kill innocent people.
Not long after, the attendant came to Takamura Masao with a bowl of dog food, put the dirty dog bowl on the ground, and said: "The Imperial Master said that if you don't eat at night, you will definitely be hungry. So this time
The dog food prepared by Wan Guo Shifu for dogs will be given to you to eat."
After speaking, the attendant turned and left.
Masao Komura looked at the bowl on the floor and the dirty food inside, and his cheeks twitched.
There was endless pain on his face.
Komura Masao himself was also a nobleman of the Japanese country, and he was a well-off man in the Japanese country. Because Goguryeo fell into the hands of the Sui Dynasty, the Japanese country was now in danger, so Komura Masao went to the Sui Dynasty for the sake of national security.
He stood on a bush to plead guilty and had given up all his dignity. However, Komura Masao did not expect that even after giving up his dignity, he would still be trampled by Wang Can and humbled into the dust.
Komura Masao knew that Wang Can sent dog food, so he couldn't refuse it and had to eat it.
Otherwise, Wang Can cannot be seen.
Otherwise, he will have to return to China in despair.
Komura Masao's hand was on the ground, and his fingers were tightly gripping the ground. Unknowingly, his fingertips penetrated the ground, causing his fingers, hands, and even his body to tremble slightly, making his whole person extremely uncomfortable.
"Eat quickly, the Imperial Master has brought you food. Don't you appreciate it?"
Some of the officials around him started taunting him.
"If you don't eat, you won't be able to see the Imperial Master."
"Huh, if I had known this, why did you, the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom, want to be so arrogant in Luoyang, and why did you wantonly deal with the imperial masters? All of this is what you asked for."
"You are so unlucky to take the blame for Miss Ono."
"What a pity!"
…
One by one, officials kept talking.
They are all sarcastic words.
But when Masao Komura heard the officials around him mention Ono, he was extremely angry. If Ono hadn't acted recklessly, and if Ono hadn't dealt with Wang Can, he wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation.
Damn Ono girl!
Masao Komura cursed Ono in his heart.
But he still has to face reality.
Nothing in front of him allowed him to avoid it. Even if his face was burning, even if his whole body wanted to dig a hole and crawl in, he still had to face it all.
There is no escaping this.
Masao Komura stretched out his hands and picked up the dog bowl. Especially in this bowl, there were no chopsticks, only a bowl. He could only reach out to grab the food and swallow it one bite at a time.
But when Masao Komura swallowed his first mouthful of rice, his eyes widened with a look of surprise on his face.
He was a little surprised.
This meal is for dogs, but the problem is that it is delicious.
It tastes very comfortable.
Even though Komura Masao was a noble in the Japanese country, Komura Masao's food was not necessarily very good. As the national master of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Can's cooks were all real chefs, even if they were serving
Dog food is pretty good.
At this moment, Komura Masao breathed a sigh of relief.
The tense expression on his face relaxed.
He reached out and grabbed the food again, stuffed it into his mouth, and swallowed it in big gulps.
When this scene came out, there was laughter all around.
Everyone mocked Masao Komura and ate dog food, but they all ate so happily and enjoyed it. Under such circumstances, Masao Komura felt his face burning when he heard it, and he was very embarrassed.
However, he was helpless.
Because of this, he had no choice but to swallow it one bite at a time.
Fortunately, the dog food is delicious.
So he finished a big bowl of food without leaving a single grain.
After Takamura Masao finished eating, he put the bowl on the ground, lay down on the ground with his hands again, and said loudly: "Komura Masao, the Japanese envoy, came to the Imperial Prefect's Mansion to plead guilty, and begged the Imperial Preceptor to take the time to meet with him."
His voice reached the house.
The concierge in charge of the reception saw this and did not go to notify him.
Masao Komura is still hanging around.
Time is still passing by bit by bit.
Unknowingly, the house was lit, the lanterns were hung up and lit, and all the officials waiting for Wang Can to be received outside had left. However, Komura Masao was still kneeling outside the house, waiting for Wang Can to be received.
Without Wang Can, he would not dare to leave.
He must see Wang Can.
Otherwise, even after returning to the inn, Komura Masao's heart would still be hanging in the air. Instead of doing this, it would be better to kneel outside Wang Can's house and wait for Wang Can's summons.
"boom!!"
Suddenly, thunder sounded in the sky.
With the sound of thunder, a thunderbolt was born out of thin air, and lightning crossed the sky, dispelling the darkness and lighting up the entire night sky.
Spring thunder explodes and the cold wind rustles.
This is the first spring thunder after the beginning of spring. After this spring thunder, light rain falls from the sky. Even though the rain is not very heavy, the rain falling on the body adds a bit of chill.
Komura Masao was still kneeling on the ground.
The body never moved an inch.
He was still kneeling upright on the ground, with a bundle of thorns tied on his back. Washed by the rain, Komura Masao's hair was disheveled, and his face looked desolate.
Now, he has not only been humbled into the dust, but also humbled into the rain.
So humble.
Komura Masao felt helpless and even more disappointed in his heart. But he was not desperate. As long as Wang Can did not explicitly refuse, then he still had hope.
Everything, he did it for the Japanese country.
Komura Masao was still kneeling on the ground, waiting quietly.
The concierge at the gate saw Masao Komura kneeling on the ground, still not moving his body, with a look of admiration on his face. Regardless of Masao Komura's background, Masao Komura's actions made people give him a thumbs up.
The concierge still paid no attention.
He is just a concierge. What's more, it was Ono who wanted to die on her own in the early years. Otherwise, Masao Takamura would not have taken the blame like this. As long as there is no order from Wang Can, he will not take care of it.
The rain is still falling in a steady patter.
The entire street above ground has already been soaked by rainwater.
On the eaves, rainwater has formed a line.
At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps came from inside the gate. A chamberlain came to the doorman's side, looked at Masao Takamura who was kneeling at the door, and said, "Masao Takamura, the Imperial Master wants to see you."
"Thank you, Imperial Master, for your great kindness!"
After hearing this, Masao Komura was shocked.
The wait is here!
He finally waited!
Komura Masao raised his hands to support his thighs, and then stood up. But after his body stood up, just as he was about to take a step, with a plop, his body fell forward to the ground.
After kneeling for a long time, his knees were numb and he couldn't keep moving. So, although he had made the decision to move forward in his mind, his body couldn't keep up and he fell to the ground.
Komura Masao chuckled.
He really has a bright smile on his face.
Even kneeling is worth it, because now that he can see Wang Can, he will have the opportunity to ease the conflict between the two parties, and then win the opportunity for the Japanese students to live in the Sui Dynasty.
Komura Masao took a deep breath and rubbed his numb thighs. Then, he stood up from the ground. However, at this time, his legs were still numb and uncontrollable, and he was limping when he walked. He walked out one after another.
After a few steps, the blood washed away and his thighs were no longer numb, and he resumed walking normally.
Komura Masao walked forward, saw the concierge, bowed and bowed, and then followed the attendant who knew the news, and followed the attendant directly into the mansion and headed towards Wang Can's study.
Along the way, Takamura Masao said nothing.
The thorn stick on his back was still not removed. It was an item he used to apologize to Wang Can and could not be removed. Not long after, Komura Masao was led by his attendants and came outside the study. (To be continued)
