"Young man, are you kidding me?"
The stall owner shouted angrily,
"Qin Shihuang used it, Qin Shihuang used it! You only gave five copper coins? You are insulting the first emperor, do you know?!"
Snap.
Xu Fenglei took out six copper coins from his arms and threw them on the stall.
"Then add one more penny and that's almost it."
He picked up the bronze cong, weighed it twice in his hand, and said casually,
"Take it away——"
After saying that, Xu Fenglei turned around and left.
The stall owner looked at the six copper coins on the stall with a bitter look on his face.
I thought I had run into a fat pig, but I didn’t expect that I was really an expert!
"Okay, okay, six cents, just six cents, you can still make two cents..."
He gathered the coins and muttered,
"Let's go have tea later..."
…
Within the post house.
Haomiya Qianhe sat on the chair and twisted her waist twice, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Da da.
The waiter brought two cups of tea, one to Tang Jian and the other to Haogong Qianhe.
The two barefoot men in black clothes standing behind him snorted and looked a little unhappy when they saw this.
"What's wrong with Princess Qianzuru? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Tang Jian naturally didn't care about these two 'followers'. He looked at Haogong Qianhe and said with concern.
"No, Qianhe doesn't feel uncomfortable, it's just that we Japanese people always sit on the floor and kneel..."
Haogong Qianhe shook her head and said a little embarrassedly,
"Therefore, I was a little unaccustomed to it, which made Mr. Tang Jian laugh."
Tang Jian suddenly realized.
"I see……"
He smiled and said,
"During the Qin and Han dynasties, people in China also sat on the floor and knelt down. That was because of their clothes, which made it inconvenient to sit on chairs."
"Nowadays, clothes and pants fit perfectly, so you don't have to worry so much. You can just sit on the chair openly."
Hundreds of years ago, those trousers were always open, and of course they couldn't sit in such a big way.
Why, let the bird come out to breathe?
But now that times have progressed, clothes and pants have been changed countless times, and the habit of kneeling and sitting has naturally disappeared.
"Thank you Tang Jianjun for your advice."
Haogong Qianhe cupped her hands and said with a smile,
"As the Romans do, Qianhe should adapt to the habits of the Tang Dynasty."
"Yes, yes." Tang Jian smiled happily.
Although it was his first meeting, he had a good impression of Chizuru Hiromiya.
Who wouldn’t like a young girl who is beautiful, sensible, and well-spoken?
"Tang Jianjun, please introduce me to Rong Qianhe."
Haogong Qianhe suddenly stood up, pointed at the two people behind him and said,
"The person on the left is the chief envoy appointed by the emperor, Inugami Mita Shu; the person on the right is the deputy envoy Medicine Master Eri."
"Actually, these two are our real envoys from Japan."
Tang Jian frowned slightly when he heard the word "father", but when he heard Haogong Qianhe's words behind him, he couldn't help but show surprise.
"Oh? So isn't the princess a messenger?"
He then turned his attention to the two followers, cupped his hands slightly and said,
"It's a neglect, it's a neglect."
"Come on, let's have tea and seats!"
After receiving the order, the attendant brought two chairs and brought two cups of tea.
"Thank you Mr. Tang Jian."
"Thank you, Mr. Tang Jian."
The voices of the two people were muffled. Although they only said four words, they could hear that the tone was a bit weird. It was obvious that Tang's speaking was a bit lame and not as silky as Haomiya Qianhe's.
"Qianhe is not an envoy. This trip can be said to be a special trip. The main reason is to increase his experience and knowledge."
Haogong Qianhe smiled sweetly and said,
"Qianhe admires the Tang Dynasty so much. The Tang Dynasty has a vast territory, outstanding people, and a vast sea of wisdom classics."
"Qianhe can say that any local official of the Tang Dynasty can be qualified to serve as Guan Bai in Japan, and any book of the Tang Dynasty can be regarded as a national treasure in Japan!"
Tang Jian raised his eyebrows and began to grin upward.
"No, no, Princess Qianhe is too praised, too praised."
He waved his hands repeatedly and said,
"In the past, Qin Shihuang wanted to go to sea to visit immortals. Among the three major overseas immortal mountains, Penglai, Yingzhou, and Abbot, Yingzhou seemed to refer to Japan."
"So, even though Japan is overseas, it is also a treasure land, hahaha..."
Carrying people in sedan chairs and exchanging commercial favors are the basis of friendly diplomacy...
"really?"
Haogong Qianhe looked at Tang Jian with bright eyes and a bit of expectation.
"Uh... nature is true, nature is true!"
Tang Jian was slightly startled and said hurriedly,
"Historical materials have recorded them and cannot be faked!"
"This is great!" Haogong Qianhe's smile instantly bloomed, and she turned around and said to the two people behind her, "Did you two hear this? Our country was a treasure land thousands of years ago, and it was the fairy land that Emperor Qin Shi Huang was looking for. We Japanese people are naturally the descendants of immortals. This is what Tang Jianjun, the minister of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty, said personally. You must write it down, this is an important basis."
When the two messengers heard this, their eyes also shone.
"Yes, we are the descendants of an immortal, and this immortal is Amaterasu."
Pharmacist Hui Ri took out a small notebook from her arms and started to write down something she was thinking about.
"The words of Tang Jianjun, the minister of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty, further confirmed this fact."
Tang Jian: "???"
Vaguely, he felt something was wrong, as if someone had secretly tricked him.
Just a few polite words, why are you so fussy and record it like a historian? !
At this moment, a voice suddenly came.
"Descendants of immortals? What nonsense!"
I saw Xu Fenglei chewing on a bunch of candied haws, walked quickly into the courtyard, and said with disdain,
"Japanese people like to put gold on their faces."
Uh-huh.
Pharmacist Huiri stopped writing and looked at the visitor with a frown.
The other three people also looked over.
But Xu Fenglei stuffed the candied haws into Tang Jian's arms and patted him on the shoulder.
"Tang Jiangong, your history is not up to standard!"
Xu Fenglei said,
"During Qin Shihuang's time, there were indeed legends about the three fairy mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou, but the Yingzhou fairy mountains here are completely different from those in Japan. They are thousands of miles apart!"
"Besides, since you remember such a legend, do you still remember that Xu Fu took three thousand boys and girls out to sea to visit immortals on the order of Qin Shihuang?"
Tang Jian was stunned. He didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he had no choice but to follow Xu Fenglei's wishes and nodded.
"Let me tell you!"
The corners of Xu Fenglei's lips curved up, and he smiled at Haogong Qianhe,
"Originally, your place was a barbaric land. The people living there were short and black. I will call them dwarf black people."
"The dwarf black people lived a life of eating hair and drinking blood, without enough food and clothing, until Xu Fu came."
"Xu Fu traveled overseas, couldn't find the fairyland, and couldn't communicate with Qin Shihuang. Naturally, he didn't dare to return to the Central Plains. He had to stay with three thousand boys and girls, and thrived on that barbaric island country. He used the indigenous dwarf black people as slaves and built a lot of construction projects. ,Dissemination of culture."
"At this point, the barbaric island country has a trace of civilization. In addition, among the three thousand boys and girls, some of them were married to the indigenous dwarf black people. After generations of children, you have your current ethnic group and orthodoxy."
"But because the genetics of dwarf black people is too strong, even if we have three thousand boys and girls from the Central Plains to improve the race, they will never grow very tall in the end. Compared with the people from the Central Plains, the appearance and height are still a bit shorter. Therefore they are called Japanese."
"Now, do you understand the origin of you Japanese people?"
After hearing these words, Haogong Qianhe's expression suddenly changed.
"idiot!"
The two Japanese envoys were furious and yelled.
"Fuck you!"
Xu Fenglei's face turned cold and he threw the candied haws skewer at him!
boom!
"Ah!" The candied haws of sugarcane was thrown on Hui Ri's face, and the head-on blow made him scream.
bass!
Next to him, Inugami Mitsuda said something different and suddenly pulled out the short sword he carried with him.
At the same time, the Yiwei in Chang'an Posthouse also drew their swords. For a moment, the atmosphere in the courtyard became tense.
"Hey! What is this, what is it..."
Tang Jian never expected that things would develop like this, so he stepped forward to break up the fight and said,
"Put your sword away! Put it away!"
"Diplomacy between the two countries is a matter of harmony and friendship. How can it be like this?"
Swish.
The Yiwei in the post house then put away their swords, but they still looked at the two barefoot men in black opposite them with vigilant eyes.
"Inugami-kun, what are you doing?"
Haogong Qianhe also turned sideways and scolded, saying,
"Hold the knife!"
"Father will never allow you to use force in the Tang Dynasty!"
"But he..." Inugami Mitaru looked unhappy and tightened his grip on the dagger.
"Put away the sword!" Haogong Qianzhe's tone increased, with unquestionable majesty between her brows,
"Hai." Inugami Mita Shu had to reluctantly put away the short sword.
But his eyes were still staring at Xu Fenglei with an extremely evil look, and he wished he could kill this hateful man in front of him with his eyes!
Hui Ri, the pharmacist next to him, opened the candied haws with an expressionless expression and held it tightly in his hand.
"Tang Jianjun, who is this person? Why are you speaking rudely and trying to insult Japan?"
Haogong Qianhe did not look at Xu Fenglei, but asked Tang Jian directly.
"This... uh..." Tang Jian looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.
"I don't want to change my name, but I don't want to change my surname. I am Xu Fenglei, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple in the Tang Dynasty!"
Xu Fenglei sneered and said,
"You said I insulted your Japanese? Why did you say that?"
"I am pointing out the origin and orthodoxy of your Japanese country based on historical data. This is completely out of good intentions. How can it be the slightest insult?"
"Do you think your ancestors have humiliated you? If so, then I really feel sad for your ancestors. Perhaps their biggest mistake was to breed descendants like you who are ashamed of your ancestors."
"You!" Inugami Mita and Yao Shi Huiri stared at Xu Fenglei, looking at their faces, they almost exploded with anger!
On the other hand, Haogong Qianhe, she was a princess after all, she was relatively calm, but her expression was extremely ugly.
"It turns out to be Mr. Xu, Mr. Tang Jian's subordinate."
She bowed symbolically and said calmly,
"Qianhe disagrees with what Mr. Xu said. What you said is just speculation based on legends. How can it be regarded as true history?"
"The origin of Japan cannot be determined by just one word."
Xu Fenglei laughed.
"That's right...I'm just making random nonsense, just like when you said you were descendants of immortals just now, it's just nonsense."
He shook his head and said helplessly,
"You can make nonsense, and even ask us, Tang Honglu, to give you tools and evidence, and record it as historical facts. Can't I reasonably imagine it? I wonder what your subordinates are so anxious about? I really don't understand."
Haomiya Qianhe took a deep breath and calmed down her mood.
"Yes, it's Inugami-kun and Yakushi-kun who are too rude."
She pointed at the two people behind her and said,
"Qianhe asked them to apologize to you. What Tang Jianjun said just now will also be deleted and will not be recorded."
Xu Fenglei looked at her with narrowed eyes.
"Haha, apologize?"
He sneered,
"I'm not a narrow-minded person. If it were an ordinary person like this, I would accept the apology. But they seemed to have cursed just now, didn't they?"
"Baga, this word seems to mean asshole to you, right?"
"The envoy from Japan called the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple of the Tang Dynasty a bastard... I need to write down this sentence and I will show it to His Majesty."
Haogong Qianhe's expression changed again.
Inugami Mitsuda and Medicine Master Eri were also shocked, showing signs of nervousness and regret.
A curse word blurted out may make the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty have a bad impression of them, or even disgust them! In this way...their purpose of coming to Tang Dynasty would not be accomplished!
"I'm sorry! Xu Jun!"
Haogong Qianzhe immediately lowered his head, showing sincerity, and confessed,
"It's Inugami and Yakushi who don't understand the rules and offended you! Chizuru Hiromiya apologizes to you on their behalf! I hope you don't mind!"
Xu Fenglei picked his ears and remained unmoved.
Haomiya Qianzhe looked at the two people behind him, showing an annoyed look.
Both of them also knew that their gaffe had caused trouble, so they both lowered their heads, bowed deeply, and said:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu! We were the ones who offended!"
Xu Fenglei sneered.
"If you do something wrong, just bow and apologize and that's it? It's your style and it hasn't changed for thousands of years."
He looked unconvinced and said,
"In our Tang Dynasty, if you want to ask for forgiveness for an offense like this, you have to at least kneel down and kowtow! Say "ye, I was wrong!" before you will be forgiven.
"You are the envoys of Japan after all. You can't be too shameless, so just kowtow and call me. Kneel down and admit your mistake. This matter is over and I won't mention it again."
"Otherwise, this matter will never end!"
In the Tang Dynasty, can you still be bullied when you are a child?
"Kneel down? Impossible!"
Inugami Mita Shu blurted out and flatly refused.
"No, you want me to kneel down, unless I die!"
Pharmacist Huiri also frowned, looking like she would rather die than kneel down.
It is humiliating enough to kneel down to someone, but it is even more impossible when the person kneeling down is someone who insults Japan and is hated by them!
"Xu Gong, are you going too far..."
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Tang Jian hurriedly stepped forward and tugged at the corner of Xu Fenglei's clothes, and whispered,
"Although they have offended you, they are envoys after all, and Your Majesty also values this diplomacy. These two are the chief and deputy envoys of the Japanese envoy. They are not minions. You have a lot of them. Don't care about it. Let them go. Horse..."
If this continues, I'm afraid it will turn into a diplomatic accident!
In response to Tang Jian's sincere advice, Xu Fenglei just glanced at him and said calmly:
"Tang Honglu, are you teaching me how to do something?"
Tang Jian's face froze: "..."
