This is Yiqun Building!
One of the most famous restaurants in Jinling City is obviously not a place where ordinary people can come and spend money.
Although Yan Jingquan was not considered a prince, as one of the top generals of the Tang Dynasty, he was naturally considered a famous figure. Although you may not be able to come here all the time for consumption, as long as you come here, you will definitely have a certain level of reception.
Now because of the emperor's suspicion of him, although many people stayed away from him, even the imperial court did not dare to reprimand him publicly. After all, he and Bian Hao have generally received titles from the Zhou Kingdom in the Central Plains. The Tang Kingdom is now a subsidiary of the Zhou Kingdom, and the court must be respectful on the surface. Therefore, given Yan Jingquan's status, naturally many people still treat him with respect. .
To put it more deeply, Yan Jingquan's contribution to the court back then was a lot of hard work even if he didn't have any merit. What's more, everyone with a discerning eye knows that although the court and the emperor have surrendered the vassal state, it will only be a matter of time before they gain momentum and start again. Therefore, although people like Yan Jingquan were frustrated for a while, they might quickly become prosperous again. This is not uncommon in history.
Therefore, people like Yiqunlou who do business with an open door naturally have a deep understanding of regular customers. Regardless of whether these dignitaries from the imperial court have come to spend time or not, some of the main figures still need to be understood.
What's more, Yan Jingquan was not too low-key that day. If there hadn't been a war in Jiangbei, he would have been made a prince long ago, which was something that should have happened a long time ago. Today Yan Jingquan hosted a banquet in person, which shows that the other party must be important to him.
How could the person who Yan Jingquan pays attention to be an ordinary person?
Although I don't know who this guest is, being able to be treated as a distinguished guest by Yan Jingquan is an honor that ordinary people can get.
The person in charge of Yiqun Building was also a very special person, and he got the news quickly. It is said that this honored guest is actually a Taoist true immortal who was named a first-rate immortal by the emperor, and is a disciple of Ting Fengzi, the eldest of the five sons of Dadong. The eight-faced master immediately became more respectful. After all, there were not many cultivators in the Taoist sect who could truly be as valued by the emperor as the Shangqing disciples.
What's more, the lineage of the Five Sons of Dadong is the lineage of Luqiu Fangyuan, the Taoist Master of the past, who are truly top-notch immortals. The emperor regarded them as immortals, so there was no need to talk about these ordinary people.
Afterwards, everyone was eating, drinking and chatting here, and no one really came to disturb them. After all, although the identities of the other people cannot be known one by one, seeing that Yan Jingquan's family members all come to accompany him, it is natural to know the deeper meaning.
However, due to the arrival of You Huashe and Zhang Jie, as well as several overseas figures, the stewards who saw the situation naturally became more cautious. Not only did he deliberately ask not to come and disturb him, he also personally ordered a waiter to wait outside. Presumably, I am afraid of being disturbed by outsiders, and naturally I am also worried that these people have needs.
So the people in the screen listened quietly to what Liu Xiaqi, a Fuso native, was saying. At first, some people didn't pay attention to other details, but if there was one, everyone was surprised and surprised. However, the Central Plains Mandarin spoken by Liu Xiaqi seems to be more authentic than many people from the Central Plains.
Although many people in Fusang Kingdom admire the Central Plains culture, they even dabble in poetry and other arts. But there are very few people who can truly learn the Central Plains culture.
What's more, this Liu Xiaqi is just a samurai from a minister's family, which is equivalent to the bodyguard of a minister's family in the Central Plains. However, being able to speak such fluent Central Plains Mandarin not only reflects the Fuso nobles' true in-depth understanding of Central Plains culture, but also shows Yanashita's status in the Fujiwara family!
Everyone's concerns are different, but they gradually understand what he said and why they are in the state they are in now.
It turned out that when their group set out from Fuso Island, there were actually two large ships in total. Moreover, there were more than 100 warriors sent on the ship to protect Yoshiko Fujiwara. What is even more surprising is that Fujiwara Yoshiko is not the only distinguished person in this industry. She also has a half-sister, Fujiwara Oriko. The two of them took a big ship and set off together with the same samurai group.
Including some people who came with us to learn, communicate and have a glimpse of the Central Plains culture, the total number reached nearly 200 people. Setting off from Fusang in a mighty manner, it can be regarded as the largest team sent by Fusang Kingdom to the Central Plains in recent decades.
With such a large team, it can be imagined that the two large ships will definitely not be small. It can be imagined that the Fujiwara family sent these two palace masters here, and their intention was obviously unusual.
Who knew that when they were approaching land, they encountered several ships on the sea. At first, everyone thought it was a ship from the Wuyue Kingdom, and they were even ready for contact. Who knew that something unexpected happened immediately, because these people first surrounded the two ships, and then tried to board them by force.
The big ship of Fuso Kingdom naturally made a counterattack, but they did not expect that there were many arrows on the other side's ship. At first, the two ships knew each other's casualties, but then the ship owned by Master Zhi Gong, who gave the order, actually rushed away from the besieging ships, trying to break through the siege by sea and come to Jiangyin.
What happened next was that the ship here lost contact with the ship over there, and the ship here was even boarded by the other side. However, after Yanashita Qiu and others resisted desperately and drove those people off the boat, they had no choice but to escape and move closer to the land. However, contact was eventually lost with Master Zhi Gong's ship, and Master Fang's ship also fled and fought, and finally broke through to the entrance of the Tang River.
A big mistake that occurred was that in order to avoid invasion by foreign enemies, the Tang State actually prepared a large number of sea barriers and traps at the mouth of the river. The other party followed them all the way, and they didn't even have any taboos. Instead, the big ship from the Fuso Kingdom ran aground at the mouth of the river and fell into a trap.
In the end, they were slaughtered by the other party helplessly. If the navy from the Tang Dynasty hadn't come to check at the mouth of the river, I'm afraid that none of the people on the Fusang Kingdom's ship might have been able to stay.
Yan Jingquan and Chen Hui both looked at each other. They naturally knew the state of the Tang Dynasty navy! It has a strong fighting capacity in rivers, but rarely pays attention to the sea. Although there was opposition from many ministers when setting up a sea barrier at the entrance of the river, the emperor did not want to waste financial resources. In addition, the sea surface of Tang State was far inferior to the coastline of Wuyue State, so in the end it was settled.
Such an encounter this time was obviously no accident.
As the saying goes, shoot yourself in the foot!
