Lu Wuming drank the rest of the tea in the cup like a cow chewing peonies. He stood up and walked to Liu Mingzhi's side and picked up a few pieces of rice paper on the table.
"Your Majesty, please take a look."
Liu Mingzhi raised his eyebrows and subconsciously looked at the pieces of rice paper that Lu Wuming held in front of him.
"What do you want me to see? Maybe there is some mystery in the contents of these rice papers."
"There is no mystery, but we can draw some useful things from it."
"Elaborate."
"Your Majesty, in the past few days, the mission of the Japanese country is not the only one that I have monitored.
After receiving His Majesty's instructions, the old minister focused most of his monitoring on the principal and deputy envoys of the Japanese and Goguryeo missions.
When they talked in private, they were extremely cautious every time and kept their voices to a minimum. The old minister tried his best to hear only a few words. "
"Oh? You mean they noticed something?"
"That's not the case. According to Lao Chen's secret observation, the reason why they are extremely cautious in their actions is not because they are aware of Lao Chen's actions, but to guard against each other's surveillance.
Especially the Japanese and Goguryeo missions, the envoys of the two countries were extremely wary of each other.
At first, the veteran thought the same as His Majesty. Later, after many observations, the veteran finally came to the conclusion that the veteran just said.
Therefore, every time the old minister is taken to monitor the situation by the Ouchi guards, there is very little useful information that can be obtained.
The old minister knew that it would be difficult to get any useful information only from the discourse analysis monitored by the principal and deputy envoys of a country.
So, the old minister combined everything he heard from each other to see if he could get any useful information.
After the veteran's step-by-step analysis, the final result is what you see now, Your Majesty. "
After Liu Mingzhi listened to Lu Wuming's analysis, he took a few pieces of rice paper in his hand and compared them carefully again.
"Your Majesty, I cannot fully hear what two people said, but when four people say it together, even if it is still incomplete, we can reach a conclusion of 50% to 60% out of 10.
Combined with the analysis of the inexplicable frictions that often occur between the two countries' missions, it is not too far-fetched to guess that these contents may be mixed. "
Liu Mingzhi once again compared the contents on several pieces of rice paper, stood up, and wandered silently in the room with his hands behind his back.
Liu Mingzhi carefully recalled in his mind everything that happened after the envoys from various countries settled in Honglu Temple, and then carefully pondered the words that Lu Wuming had just reported.
Finally, he revisited the scenes when Sakai Hoshino was alone with himself.
After a long time, Liu Mingzhi connected all the things together, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his lips.
Yes, when everything is connected together, it is not too much to come up with a 70% to 80% conclusion.
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, folded several pieces of rice paper together and put them into his cuffs.
"I will take these pieces of rice paper with me."
"yes."
"You have worked hard these days, what reward do you want?"
"Don't dare, I will eat the emperor's salary and share the emperor's worries. I just did what I should do and don't dare to ask for reward."
"You dare not ask for reward, but I have to give it.
At the moment I don't know what to reward you with. Let me think about it carefully after I go back and then order the cabinet to reward you. "
"Thank you, Sir, Your Majesty. Long live our Emperor."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly and nodded, then patted his sleeves containing several pieces of rice paper.
"This matter."
Lu Wuming was slightly startled for a moment, and then immediately reacted.
"I have been busy with my own official duties and don't know anything about other matters."
Liu Mingzhi smiled lightly, put his hands behind his back and walked straight out of the room.
"Go on and enjoy your tea. It would be a pity to waste such high-quality tea."
"Old minister, I obey your orders and will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
Liu Mingzhi walked out of the compound where the officials of Honglu Temple worked. He looked up at the sun above his head in silence for a long time, then turned and rushed towards the quiet courtyard where Sakai Hoshino lived.
After a while, Liu Mingzhi's figure appeared in the small courtyard where the beauty lived.
After Liu Mingzhi walked into the small courtyard, he only saw Sakai Hoshino, Hua Qiying and Zhi, mother and daughter, staying together in the pavilion in the small courtyard, talking to each other.
"Hoshino, Sakuraori."
"Mr. Liu?"
"gentlemen?"
Sakai Hoshino and his daughter asked in surprise one after another, and then immediately stood up and gave a blessing.
"Hoshino has met Mr. Liu."
"Sakura greets you sir."
"No need to see anyone, no courtesy at all."
"Thank you Mr. Liu."
"Thank you sir."
Liu Mingzhi took out the folding fan from his waist and walked towards the mother and daughter under the pavilion with a smile.
"Hoshino, Sakuraori, what are you two doing?"
Before Sakai Hoshino spoke, Hua Qiyingzhi took the first step towards Young Master Liu.
"Sir, sir, Yingzhi's mother is forcing me to write an article again. Yingzhi's wrists are sore after writing for so long, but her mother still won't let me go.
Sir, can you talk to your mother so that Sakura Zhi can be less fussy. "
Liu Mingzhi looked down at the little girl with a pitiful expression on her face, and walked towards the pavilion with a smile.
"Sir, I can help you beg for mercy, but sir, I have to see how your article is going, Yingzhi first."
"Sir, Sakurazhi's article is very well written."
"It's empty talk, sir, you'll have to see it later to find out."
Hua Qiyingzhi's face lit up with joy, and she hurriedly ran to the stone table under the pavilion, picked up a few pieces of rice paper, and handed them to Young Master Liu.
"Sir, look quickly, look quickly."
Sakai Hoshino frowned instinctively when he saw his daughter jumping up and down in front of Young Master Liu.
"Sakuraori."
The little girl suddenly became well-behaved when she heard her mother's somewhat unhappy tone.
Liu Mingzhi took a few pieces of rice paper from the little girl's hand, smiled lightly and sat on the stone bench.
"Hoshino."
"Mr. Liu?"
"Hoshino, there is no need to be so strict with children.
It is natural for children to like to play. Don’t impose our expectations as elders on children.
I don’t deny that our ideas are good, but we cannot ignore the nature of our children just because of our ideas. "
"I, I, Hoshino knows."
When Hua Qiyingzhi saw her mother's obedient appearance in front of Young Master Liu, she rolled her big eyes a few times and hid behind Young Master Liu with a smile.
"Sir, you are so amazing, you can actually take care of Yingzhi's mother so obediently."
"That's because your mother is better behaved in front of your husband... ahem... your mother admires your husband's ability, that's why you are so convinced of him.
Xiaoying Zhi, don't rush to be happy. If your article is not good, your husband will not speak for you.
By then, let alone taking a break, you may write even more articles than you do now. "
Liu Mingzhi's ambiguous words frightened the little girl. He picked up the article in his hand and read the content carefully.
After drinking tea, Liu Mingzhi happily put down the rice paper in his hand under the little girl's nervous eyes.
"The writing is good. I passed the test here sir, let's go play."
"Really? Sir, you are so kind, long live long live."
"Mother?"
Sakai Hoshino looked at his daughter's smiling expression and rolled his eyes angrily.
"Your Mr. Liu has asked you to go and play. If mother doesn't let you go, will you be obedient? Why don't you disappear in front of my eyes quickly?"
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, mother. Yingzhi will leave first."
The little girl shouted happily, waving her little hands and ran towards the pavilion without hesitation.
After his daughter disappeared into the courtyard, Sakai Hoshino poured a cup of herbal tea from a pot and handed it to Young Master Liu.
"Mr. Liu, please have tea."
"You don't have to be so polite. You can sit down too."
"Why."
Sakai Hoshino adjusted his skirt, sat on the stone bench with a smile, and looked at Young Master Liu curiously.
"Liu Jun, why are you free to come to Honglu Temple today?"
Liu Mingzhi picked up the herbal tea and tasted it briefly, then gently turned the tea cup in his hand and looked at the beauty.
"I've finished all the government affairs. I'm here to tell you some good news."
"Huh? What's the good news?"
"We've already got an idea of the rewards for the troops and equipment for your mission. The final decision will be made within about three to five days."
When the beauty heard Young Master Liu's words, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up, and her hips seemed to be cushioned by springs, and she stood up from the stone bench in an instant.
"real?"
