"The envoy from the Fujiwara Kingdom..." Prince Fu Ren's face darkened, and he subconsciously came towards Nobu Minamoto Nagasaki, who was ordered to deliver the message and also became his deputy envoy.
As the deputy envoy, Shaona Yangen Youxin's face couldn't help but darken.
After the two of them waited outside for Zhuxiang for a long time, they saw a middle-aged man with similar clothing and height being escorted out of the government office by Gao Zhang's personal entourage.
The moment he saw the other party, Shaona Yanyuan Youxin couldn't help but shout.
"As a native of Yamato, when you see His Highness Fu Jen here, why don't you kneel down quickly..."
Fujiwara Isamu never expected that he would be shouted at by others suddenly at the gate of the government office. Subconsciously, his legs went weak and he almost bowed down.
Fortunately, at this moment, a loud slap made Fujiwara Isamu wake up instantly.
Shaona Yanyuan Youxin, whose vision went dark, his face hurt, and his head was dizzy, was immediately staggered and fell to the ground.
"You, how dare you hurt people wantonly."
After Prince Fu Jen reacted, he was so angry that he trembled all over. He raised his head and shouted at the Song Dynasty man who was a head taller than him.
At the bottom of the steps, the escort warriors of Prince Furen who came with him spoke loudly and unsheathed their Japanese swords at their waists.
Fujiwara Yuya was stunned by the sudden change in front of him, before he could recover.
Fu'an, Gao Xuanfu's personal attendant who sent him to the door, laughed arrogantly and domineeringly. That smile was really like that of Cai Laoliu.
"You didn't see the notice at the door. No one is allowed to make noise outside the government office."
"Also, you Japanese people actually dare to draw your swords from their sheaths. Why, do you want to attack my official office of the Song Dynasty?"
Fu'an's loud voice naturally attracted many officers and soldiers guarding the area to come closer.
Seeing those Song officers and soldiers with very unkind expressions, and the sharp spearheads that were pointing diagonally towards this side, Shaona Yanyuan Youxin could only hold back a heavy smile.
"No, no, no... misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding. How dare I confront the Song Dynasty with swords and weapons? I am being disrespectful. I'm really sorry."
Seeing this scene, Fu'an couldn't help but curled his lips in disgust.
"It seems that what my young master said is true. When you can endure it, you can really endure it..."
"Okay, let's go in. My young master has invited an envoy from Japan."
"..."
#####
Minamoto Yushin was worthy of being the deputy envoy entrusted with important responsibilities by Emperor Shirakawa. After receiving a slap in the face, not only did he not have any temper, but he became more humble and respectful.
Gao Zhang was also in the hall and saw Prince Furen, an acquaintance, and a newcomer with a slap mark on his face.
"This is..." Gao Zhang was a little confused and couldn't help but subconsciously looked at Fu'an.
Fu'an smiled shyly, leaned forward and muttered twice, and Gao Zhang rolled his eyes helplessly.
Forget it, Fu'an is such a person. Whatever he can say, he will be beaten, not his own people.
Anyway, looking at the way the other party nodded and bowed, he probably didn't have a cerebrovascular rupture, and it was impossible for him to seek justice for him.
At this moment, Furen had already taken the initiative to stand up, saluted Gao Zhang, and apologized to Gao Zhang in a very sincere tone.
He said that in the past, the diplomatic relations between the two countries seemed too distant, so the Japanese king was completely unaware of the matters to be paid attention to in the diplomatic affairs with the Song Dynasty in the past.
This led to the misunderstanding caused by the last letter of credence. Fortunately, I received your teachings from Gao Shaoqing and spread them throughout the country in time.
Now the leader of this country has also learned about this matter, and the newly drafted credentials have been delivered.
Gao Zhang accepted this brand-new credentials. This time, the title changed dramatically, becoming "Chen Huiren, respectfully asking His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."
First, the Japanese country asked to be a vassal of the Song Dynasty. Second, the Japanese country asked the Song Dynasty to allow it to change its name to Yamato. Third, the Japanese country asked the Song Dynasty to withdraw its troops and withdraw all kinds of support from the Fujiwara Kingdom.
Fourth, the Japanese state is willing to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty every year 10,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, and 100,000 jins of sulfur.
Looking at the credentials of the Japanese nation, Gao Zhang couldn't help but shook his head in disgust.
"That's it?"
"I don't know if Gao Shaoqing is still dissatisfied with it. If so, please go ahead and tell me. I will inform the Lord of the country to change it as soon as possible to meet the wishes of the country."
"Your tribute items are no different from the Fujiwara Kingdom's tribute, but your demands are so many. Do you think it's appropriate?"
"this……"
"Here again, what do you mean by asking the Song Dynasty to withdraw its troops? According to what you mean, it means that the Song Dynasty is sending troops across the ocean to find trouble for your Japanese country?"
"How come I don't know? You must know that our country, the Song Dynasty, has always been benevolent and righteous and will never invade the territory of other countries for no reason."
"If there was no international court now, believe it or not, I would sue you for defaming the Song Dynasty."
"One more thing, I heard that a few days ago, your Japanese country ignored Fujiwara Country as a vassal of our Song Dynasty and rashly launched an army to attack it."
"Fortunately, although Fujiwara is a small country, it is also brave and good at fighting. In the end, it was difficult to drive away the invading enemy..."
"...and this, the Fujiwara Kingdom is a vassal state of our Great Song Dynasty. It is invaded by enemy countries, and our Great Song Dynasty naturally cannot sit idly by.
Selling some military equipment to help them defend their home and country is also the behavior of a suzerain's country. "
"And you, the Japanese country, actually want to control what I, the Song Dynasty, do?"
#####
Prince Furen and Na Yuan Yongxin stared blankly at Gao Zhang, the young minister of Honglu Temple in the Song Dynasty who was very talkative and had a lotus tongue.
She talks like an old sow wearing a bra, one after another.
But what he said was so well-founded that it made people unable to get angry.
Seeing the stupid expressions of the two of them, Gao Zhang continued with an expression of "I sympathize with you."
"As for you saying that I, the Song Dynasty, are helping the Fujiwara Kingdom fight, that's understandable."
"After all, the Fujiwara Kingdom has always been friendly with our country, the Song Dynasty, and is willing to spend money to recruit brave men from the sea."
"We, the Song Dynasty, adhere to the principle of non-interference in other countries' internal affairs and have not sent troops. However, the righteous and brave people in the country are not willing to watch my country, the Fujiwara Kingdom, being bullied and come to help. How can we still stop it?"
"What Gao Shaoqing means is that the country is prepared to ignore this matter, right?"
Gen Yongxin felt that his heart was a blazing fire at this moment, as hot as the kerosene bomb that could set the entire Heianjing on fire.
I always felt that this young and important minister of the Song Dynasty was just messing around and talking nonsense, but I had no evidence.
Gao Zhang looked up and down at Yuan Yongxin, who was not as tall as his own child. He tilted his mouth and smiled at the obviously furious Japanese.
"Why, could it be that this deputy envoy wants to take care of the Song Dynasty for me, or is he preparing to threaten me, the Song Dynasty?"
It’s a new day, keep up the good work!
