Xu Qing didn't expect that the wise king would help his father-in-law look after him now. At the beginning, he was clearly the one who helped the evildoer.
Is this the result of playing chess with my father-in-law all year round?
The King Xian didn't send it to him, so he had to find connections on his own. Fortunately, he always asked people from Yiwei to deliver messages to Long Bing'er, and the relationship was pretty good, especially since he had acquaintances in Yiwei who went to Funiu Mountain last time.
Xu Chen whom I met when I was a gangster.
After what happened last time, Xu Chen has been promoted to the commander of the First Guard in the capital.
Don't underestimate this commander. Although Yiwei are all over the Central Plains, the capital has the most Yiwei. Many ministers have Yiwei lurking in their mansions.
When Xu Qing asked if anyone from Yiwei was lurking in his family, Xu Chen decisively told him that the third commander was too lazy to be safe, and the prince did not want to waste that money...
It sounds heartbreaking, who are you looking down on?
Do you think you are a junior official?
There is one kind of certainty that a wise king will install a shadow guard in your home. Another kind of sadness is that a wise king does not need to waste money to install a shadow guard in your home.
No matter what the outcome is in your own home, it seems to be quite uncomfortable.
The next day, Xu Qing found Xu Chen and asked him to find someone to deliver the letter to. Xu Chen immediately agreed to deliver the letter. It seemed that the King Xian had not yet had time to order the Shadow Guard not to send him letters from now on.
And when I sent the letter, I also received a message.
Some time ago, the third and fourth princes of the grassland followed Wanyan Lu back to the grassland, saying that they wanted to eat some beef and bring back some koumiss.
As a result, not even two days after returning home, he died suddenly of illness. The news had just reached the capital, and I heard that he died of old age and miserably.
In the royal study
The Emperor of Chu was sitting behind the imperial court approving the coupons. King Xian was sitting next to him and looking at the approved coupons in his hands: "The two people in the grassland are not very smart. They actually followed Wanyan Lu back home so stupidly.
, Something happened now."
Emperor Chu said: "But it's okay. He just died suddenly due to illness, not acclimatization."
King Xian glanced at Emperor Chu: "Why do I think you have something to say?"
The Emperor of Chu opened the next memorial, looked around and said, "How long will it take to approve so many excerpts..."
The wise king said: "It doesn't matter. In a few years, I will send someone to Japan to help you find the elixir of immortality. There will definitely be enough time for you to read these excerpts."
Emperor Chu; "..."
Did he really not want to talk to this imperial brother for a moment? Even if he did nothing all day long, he actually wanted to exploit himself for eternity?
Xu Qing, a profiteer, shed tears after seeing this!
At this moment, the Emperor of Chu was slightly startled when he saw the content of the next letter: "The Japanese state is going to send an envoy to have an audience?"
King Xian looked at Zhezi and said in surprise: "Japanese country?"
Emperor Chu nodded and said, "Yes, and he brought a lot of rare treasures."
The wise king arrived: "Didn't I just give it to you some time ago? It was quite generous."
Emperor Chu nodded and said, "Among the many subordinate countries in the Central Plains, this Japanese country is the most active, sends the most beautiful congratulatory messages, and pays the most tribute."
The wise king asked, "What do they mean when they come to court this time?"
Emperor Chu sighed and said, "What's the matter? Aren't they just making trouble like that in the past dynasties? I really don't want to see these dwarfs from the Japanese country unless necessary. Just by looking at them, I feel that they are extremely insignificant."
The Xian Wang took a sip of tea and said: "If you don't want to see me, it will be easy to deal with. Just leave it to Xu Qing and be done with it."
When the Emperor of Chu heard the words of the wise king, he immediately shook his head and said: "Forget it, Xu Qing can always pull off some tricks. He was not rewarded for his great achievements last time. This time, if this kid makes a mistake, he will be rewarded again."
After he has done some meritorious service, can he really be granted the title of Duke?"
The wise king snorted coldly and said, "If you want to give him a reward, why do you need to talk about a reward if you ask him to do something?"
Emperor Chu said: "If you can't reward meritorious deeds and punish demerits, how can you appease all officials?"
The wise king said without giving any face: "Others use rewards, but he does not need rewards. This is what I said."
Emperor Chu asked in confusion: "Did Xu Qing make brother Huang angry?"
The wise king snorted coldly, "Anyway, don't give him a reward. He doesn't even go to court every day. Which civil and military minister is like him? I have long disliked him. Go check it out, my lord."
What kind of punishment is not going to court? I will punish him severely!"
Emperor Chu immediately shook his head when he heard King Xian's words: "Brother Emperor, why don't you forget it..."
The wise king frowned and said: "Forget it? The emperor is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. How can he, Xu Qing, still want to go beyond the law? Give me a heavy sentence!"
Emperor Chu said: "If you don't go to court once and think about it for ten days in front of the wall at home, brother Huang, please watch the sentence..."
King Xian couldn't help but twitch his lips when he heard what Emperor Chu said: "Then let him deal with the envoys from Japan first."
…
In the capital
Xu Qing had just come out of Xu Chen's place and was about to go back to Andinghou Mansion when he saw Xiao Ye walking over from the side.
Xu Qing cupped his hands and said, "Brother Xiao, why are you here?"
Xiao Ye said, "The Japanese country wants to send envoys over, but the emperor doesn't want to see them and says that Brother Xu will be responsible for handling it."
Xu Qing frowned and said, "What are they here for?"
Xiao Ye spread his hands and said, "Please ask us to change their country's name. Why else? Isn't this the case in all dynasties?"
Since the Japanese country initially placed the Central Plains as its master, the Central Plains gave them the name of the country.
What does 倭 mean?
Naughty and short.
It’s simply summed up in one step.
[Digression: The country name of the Japanese slaves can be traced back to the Han Dynasty, not the Wei Dynasty. Correction, attached historical materials: "Book of the Later Han·Biographies of Dongyi" "In the second year of Jianwu Zhongyuan (AD 57), the Japanese slaves' kingdom was granted the title of
He paid tribute and congratulated him, and made him call himself a doctor. This was the southern boundary of the Japanese state. Guangwu gave him a seal and ribbon."]
At first, they were overjoyed when they were given the title of country in the Central Plains. Recognizing a eldest father would be particularly beneficial to their future development. However, later they also realized that the word "倭" did not seem to be a good word, so they saw the opportunity.
Send envoys to report to the Central Plains and change their country's name to a human-like one.
Xu Qing had read history all his life and had heard about these things. When he heard Xiao Ye's words, he said bluntly: "The word "Japanese" is so sharp to them. It is a pity to change it."
Xiao Ye heard what Xu Qing said and said, "Brother Xu doesn't agree with their petition to change the country's title?"
Xu Qing said: "If they really want to change it, I don't have any objection to changing it to Japanese slaves. It's good that they haven't investigated their disobedience after suspending tribute for such a long time. But they still want to change the country's name? It's just wishful thinking, right, Brother Xiao
, Your Majesty means that they can be left to me to handle with full authority?"
Xiao Ye nodded and said, "That's right. Qing Honglu Temple can assist Brother Xu."
Xu Qing sneered and said, "Then I will really entertain them."
