Tang Jian's mouth twitched and he laughed twice without embarrassment.
He thought that this was too much to do, but we don’t want to be so diplomatic...
It’s too domineering!
It's like interrogating a prisoner!
But Tang Jian didn't dare to say this to Xu Fenglei. After all, this man now occupied his court, and he had the final say in everything he did.
I have no business complaining.
Swish, swish, swish.
Under Xu Fenglei's watch, Inugang Sanri carefully re-wrote the credential. In addition to changing his title to 'Japanese King' and changing the title of Li Shimin to the more respected 'Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty', the state's The tone of the book is also more humble, as if a younger brother is reporting work to an elder brother. The main theme is a cautious, humble and cautious person.
Of course, this was mainly because there was someone staring at him like a living king of hell, so he had to do this!
"Write, write it..."
The dog spent three days drying the ink, held the certificate of credence in his hands, and presented it in a low voice,
"It's just that my Wang Baoyin hasn't been stamped yet..."
Xu Fenglei smiled casually.
"What's so hard about this?"
He casually ordered,
"Come on, get a carrot and engrave a carrot seal according to the format of the seal on the original certificate of credence!"
Quan Shang San Ri Shu: "???"
"This, isn't it appropriate..."
He looked embarrassed.
Carve a carrot seal? This is too childish!
This is a fake seal! This is it!
"What's wrong? Your credentials have been written for you. Are you still afraid of getting a fake seal?"
Xu Fenglei waved his hand and said nonchalantly,
"It's okay. If you don't tell me and I don't tell you, who would know it's false? It doesn't matter! No one will care about these details."
Inugami Mijishu didn't respond and turned to look at Haogong Qianhe.
There was a bit of bitterness and humiliation in his eyes.
Xu Fenglei's words seemed to have a sting and a hint of contempt both inside and outside them, which was hard to accept.
"Someone cares."
Haogong Qianhe suddenly opened his mouth and said seriously,
"I care."
"The letter of credence can be written by others, but the seal cannot be forged. Just like when the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued an edict, the edict could be drafted by ministers, but the jade seal must be stamped with the emperor's jade seal."
"That seal represents the imperial power and cannot be falsified. Although Japan is a small country, the king has authority and cannot be falsified."
"What Qianhe said, does Xu Jun agree with it?"
Xu Fenglei nodded slightly.
"Identify, agree."
He smiled and said,
"Then tell me, how should this certificate of credence be sealed? Why don't you go back to Japan and have your father seal it before you come back?"
"For the sake of this prestige, I agree with this."
Medicine Master Hui Ri glared.
They crossed the ocean, crossed the lofty mountains, and suffered countless hardships along the way before reaching Chang'an! Now you have to go back just after arriving? Go back and get the seal stamped before coming back?
Then he will probably be tortured to death, and his life will be handed down on the road!
"Need not."
Haogong Qianhe took out a small seal from his arms and said calmly,
"This is a portable treasure seal given to me by my father. If necessary, I can make the decision and sign documents on his behalf in the Tang Dynasty."
"Just use my seal."
Having said that, she had already received the credentials from Inugami Sanrishu.
Snap.
There was a crisp sound, and a bright red mark was stamped underneath the credentials.
"Tang Jianjun, Xu Jun."
Haogong Qianhe handed over the new credentials and said politely,
"Please take a look at it to see if it is appropriate. If you have no objections, please pass it on to His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty."
Upon hearing this, Tang Jian immediately stretched out his hand to collect the credentials, rolled it into a roll and put it into a brocade box.
"No need to look at it anymore, it's very appropriate, very appropriate."
He held the brocade box and said,
"Princess, please rest assured that Tang will definitely forward his credentials to His Majesty for his inspection."
At this moment, Fatty Tang was moving very quickly.
He was really afraid that something would happen again. At this moment, he just wanted to end this matter quickly and move on to the next topic!
Xu Fenglei curled his lips and said no more.
He read the new letter of credence word for word, his attitude was on point, and his tone was humble and sincere. Naturally, there was no need to find any further trouble.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Tang Jian."
Qianhe from Haogong bowed with his long hair.
Dog Shang Sanri Chu and pharmacist Hui Ri also bowed and saluted.
The three of them were very polite, but it was unclear what they were thinking.
"Hahaha, no need to be polite, no need to be polite... This is just a small incident, nothing serious."
Tang Jian smiled brightly and greeted,
"Come on, come on, everyone, sit down, everyone, sit down, let's continue to eat."
"We've been chatting for a long time and the dishes are all cold - come on! Heat up the dishes and stir-fry some good ones!"
The slave girl responded and left.
Tang Jian stood up, first poured wine for Xu Fenglei, and then for Haogong Qianhe and the others.
Haogong Qianhe saw this detail in his eyes and started to think about it.
"Jun Tang Jian is approachable, Jun Xu is your subordinate, but you can pour him wine."
She held up the wine glass and said with a smile,
"It is conceivable that Mr. Tang Jian must have made many friends in Chang'an."
"Come on, Chizuru offers you a drink."
Wow.
This little girl was very polite, but she was really unambiguous when it came to drinking. She finished her drinking in just one gulp.
"Uh... Princess Qianzuru is too polite!"
Tang Jian was slightly stunned. Seeing that Haogong Qianhe was done, he naturally couldn't lose the battle, so he immediately raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp.
A wave of heat rushed up, his face turned slightly red, he lit up his wine glass, and then smiled:
"Xu...well, although Xu Si Cheng is my subordinate in name, he is not an ordinary person."
Haogong Qianhe's expression changed.
"It can be seen that most people don't have such momentum."
She added another glass of wine and turned to Xu Fenglei and said,
"Xu Jun, although there was some unpleasantness and a little turmoil between us just now, Qianhe knows that you are really doing it for our own good. If the letter of credence is handed over, His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty will definitely be angry, and the situation will not be the same. It will be serious. You helped us avoid disaster."
"Qianhe, I would like to propose a toast to you. Two envoys and I have come all the way. If there is anything that makes you uncomfortable, just say it and we will change it. For an upright person like Xu Jun, Qianhe is very willing to work with you." You make friends and listen to your guidance.”
Wow!
Haogong Qianhe's words were sincere, but his movements were still neat. He drank a glass of wine in one gulp and flashed the glass towards Xu Fenglei.
At the same time, she looked at the two envoys and winked at them.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, and we'll toast you with a toast."
Quan Shang San Ri Shu and Yao Shi Hui Ri also picked up their wine glasses, and they didn't look so reluctant at the moment.
Although Xu Fenglei is extremely domineering, the princess is right - without Xu Fenglei tearing it up, they would definitely be in trouble if the credentials were handed over!
Therefore, whether he wants to admit it or not, this domineering and tough guy did help them.
"You are Welcome."
Xu Fenglei raised his glass, took a symbolic sip, and said calmly,
"I believe in Taoism, and I shouldn't drink too much. I only have a small sip to repay the favor."
At the same time, he took a deep look at Haomiya Qianhe.
To be honest, these three Japanese people can really keep their composure, especially this Haogong Qianhe, there is really no fault at all.
Whether it's how you treat people or how you behave, everything is impeccable!
It was extremely excessive to find trouble like this. He forced the perpetrator to kneel down and tore up his credentials. He always used guns and sticks in his words. Most people would not be able to stand it and would fall out with him.
But she could still put on a sincere gesture to express her gratitude, as if she was sincere.
No matter how surly a person is, they will soften up and stop making things difficult when they encounter such a cute little beauty.
But Xu Fenglei's heart did not soften at all. Instead, there was a warning sign.
If you can't find any fault, that's the biggest fault!
It is impossible for a person to have no temper at all! The lack of temper is all on the surface, but secretly it's all being tolerated!
The more extreme your tolerance is, the bigger the other party’s plans will be!
Think about the Japanese countries in history. They sent batches of "envoys to the Tang Dynasty" to steal the crystallization of wisdom of the Central Plains for thousands of years. After learning and growing strong, they turned against each other. By the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, they became Japanese pirates who repeatedly invaded the border. The acts of aggression in the next few hundred years were even more heinous, and the crimes were too numerous to list!
Can such a white-eyed wolf be fed?
Don’t even think about it!
Although Xu Fenglei took a sip of wine at this moment and accepted Haogong Qianhe's kindness, he was wary in his heart.
No matter what the other party intends, you must guard against it. This is not for anything else, but for future generations!
…
The banquet was resumed after adding wine, turning back the lights, and all four people present drank. With Tang Jian's encouragement, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
“The food of the Tang Dynasty is really amazing.”
Haomiya Qianhe wiped her mouth and said with a smile,
"No matter the meat or vegetable, they are all so delicious. Chizuru couldn't bear to swallow them even if she held them in her mouth."
"After eating the delicacies of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid it will be difficult for me to accept the humble food of Japan."
Inugami Sanri and Yao Shi Hui were still holding dishes. When they heard the princess's words, they both nodded sincerely.
The food in Tang Dynasty is really delicious!
In comparison, the food in Japan is simply for livestock! No... maybe not even as good as an animal!
When they came here, they saw with their own eyes that the Tang Dynasty's finest horses were filled with raw eggs!
"Hahaha, it's just eating, why do you care?"
Tang Jian smiled casually and said,
"If the princess likes it, every meal you have in Datang in the future will be according to this standard!"
"Even if you return to Japan in the future, you can ask His Majesty to give you a Tang Dynasty chef, or send someone to learn Tang Dynasty cooking skills. This is all possible..."
Haomiya Qianhe's eyes lit up.
"Learning from the Tang Dynasty? Is this really possible?"
She continued,
"Wouldn't His Majesty the Emperor mind? After all, this is a precious skill of the Tang Dynasty..."
Tang Jian wiped his mouth and waved his hand.
"Hey, it's just a little cooking skill, it's not that valuable."
He said nonchalantly,
"Your Majesty is so magnanimous, why would you care about this?"
"If you want to learn, just learn!"
Haogong Qianhe's eyes were filled with joy.
"Well, thank you Tang Jianjun!"
She cupped her hands and said,
"If possible, Qianhe is willing to learn this precious cooking skill and bring it back to Japan! Then he will cook it for his father!"
"Father, you will definitely be happy!"
The two envoys looked at each other and showed excitement.
If we can eat these in Japan in the future, that would be a good thing, right?
"Ha, ha... does the princess actually want to learn in person?"
Tang Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile,
"Half the chefs can't teach you, hey, come to think of it..."
He suddenly turned his head and looked at Xu Fenglei, who was picking up vegetables.
"Xu Sicheng, you are the creator of many new dishes in the Tang Dynasty, right? Including the ones on this table, they were all improved and perfected under your guidance."
Tang Jian said with a smile,
"How about you take the time to teach Princess Qianhe?"
When Haogong Qianhe heard this, his expression became stern, and he looked at Xu Fenglei with even more surprise.
Could this be the person who created so many delicious dishes? !
Who is he?
At this moment, Haogong Qianhe desperately wanted to know the details of Xu Fenglei.
"Not really."
Xu Fenglei crossed his arms and said calmly,
"I'm just greedy and got started. I'm not so shameless as to think that these new dishes are my own. I've never cooked, let alone taught others how to cook."
"Since you are so generous and want to selflessly teach Tang cuisine to foreigners, can't you just teach it yourself?"
"You have a big head and a thick neck. You are either a rich man or a cook. I think your neck is quite thick. You are quite talented in this area."
Tang Jian touched his neck and looked a little embarrassed: "..."
Although he has a thick neck, he can still be a rich man!
Why does it have to be a cook...
"Xu Jun, Qianhe really wants to learn the cooking skills of the Tang Dynasty!"
Haogong Qianhe stood up and saluted, and said with great sincerity,
"Please feel free to teach me!"
"Qianhe knows the rules of the Tang Dynasty. The law cannot be passed down lightly. He can only teach it to his apprentices. The apprentices must also undergo the test of the master before they can receive the true teaching!"
"Qianhe is not afraid of tests, please ask Xu Jun to be Qianhe's master!"
Xu Fenglei couldn't help but sneered when he heard this.
"Not everyone is qualified to be my apprentice."
He said contemptuously,
"I don't even bother accepting foreigners as my disciples."
Haomiya Qianhe pursed her lips.
"Ordinary foreigners are naturally not worthy of being your apprentice, but no matter what, Qianzhe is also a princess of the same country, and she will never humiliate you!"
She didn't care about Xu Fenglei's contemptuous eyes and still respectfully held her hands in front of her and said,
"Please Xu Jun accept me!"
Xu Fenglei was still disdainful and didn't even raise his eyelids.
Haha, is the princess awesome?
Among his disciples, except for the little boy Qinghe who stayed in Moyu Mountain, which one is not a princess or prince?
The princes are all his disciples!
You are a little foreign princess or a Japanese princess, what the hell do you think you are?
I won’t even look at you!
He did not hesitate, and was about to refuse again, when he suddenly remembered an allusion, and the corners of his mouth suddenly turned up.
Anyone who is familiar with Xu Fenglei knows that when this kid shows this expression, he must be holding back some water!
"...Okay, for the sake of your sincerity, I can teach you how to cook."
Xu Fenglei looked at Haogong Qianhe and changed his words,
"However, I will not accept you as my apprentice, because I am not a cook, and I am not interested in being a master of the Japanese."
"Do you understand?"
When Haogong Qianhe heard this, she was overjoyed!
"Chizuru understands!"
She bowed her hands repeatedly and said,
"Qianhe doesn't dare to call you master, so let's call you sir according to the honorific title given to teachers in the Central Plains!"
"Sir, please pay homage to Qianhe Hao Palace!"
This little girl is quite particular. Apart from not kneeling down, she performed a standard apprenticeship ceremony.
"Please get up, I won't accept your worship in vain."
Xu Fenglei raised the corners of his mouth and chuckled,
"When the time comes, I will teach you a unique cooking technique that is very different from ordinary cooking techniques, so that the ingredients can be extremely delicious..."
