"Gao Shaoqing, please calm down. In fact, what he means is that he wants to implore the superior country to find a way to let those heroic warriors of the Song Dynasty leave the Fujiwara Kingdom."
"After all, now, my country is at war with the Fujiwara Kingdom. If something happens to some people from the Song Dynasty when the two countries are fighting, this is what I don't want to see."
Prince Fu Jen is truly worthy of being a prince, and his words are indeed more beautiful than what Minamoto Yongxin said.
However, what he faced was Gao Zhang, the prodigy champion of the Song Dynasty.
"What you said makes some sense, but since those people were overseas and recruited by the Fujiwara Kingdom, as officials of the Song Dynasty, it was naturally not easy for them to reach out to vassal countries."
"But Gao Shaoqing, my subordinates have heard that the Fujiwara Kingdom does have soldiers and horses from the Song Dynasty. Please Gao Shaoqing not to deny this."
Prince Furen tried hard to restrain himself and not to get angry with this shameless young man, but he still felt that everything should be argued for.
"Your statement is flawed. Remember, those are the escorts of my envoy team from the Song Dynasty." Gao Zhang responded positively with an upright face.
"A few days ago, I, the Song Dynasty, sent an envoy to the Fujiwara Kingdom, went to Fujiwara Island, and consecrated Fujiwara Tadayi as the King of Fujiwara."
"This trip requires a long journey across the ocean. In order to prevent accidents when our envoys from the Song Dynasty travel, we naturally have to send soldiers to protect the envoys."
"..."
Prince Furen stood at the door of the government office. At this moment, he looked so exhausted both physically and mentally. The man next to him, Yuan Yongxin, also looked desperate.
"This Gao Shaoqing, how much money did he receive from Fujiwara Tadayi to defend the traitor Fujiwara Tadayi like this?"
After hearing Yun Yongxin's gritted words, Prince Furen glanced at the other party and shook his head slowly.
"Don't think about those situations now. The most important thing we should do is to consider how to get the Song Dynasty to give up its support for the Fujiwara clan."
Gen Yongxin also let out a long sigh and shook his head with helplessness on his face.
"Sigh... If I had known this would happen, it would be better to take action earlier."
#####
"I have met with Your Majesty. Fortunately, I have lived up to my command. This time I brought back 30,000 spearheads, 50,000 hand knives, 2,000 collars of leather armor, 500 collars of iron armor, and bows and arrows..."
Isamu Fujiwara quickly entered the hall and bowed respectfully to Fujiwara Tadai, who was now sitting on the throne. While presenting the account book, he described the ordnance and equipment he had obtained.
Fujiwara Tadai gave a hearty smile, strode to Fujiwara Isamu, and helped this man who had been following him in maritime business in the past.
And now he has become a close confidant of his subordinate, the Minister of Household Affairs.
"I've really worked hard on you this time. By the way, other than that, what orders does the No. 1 Scholar have?"
When he mentioned the words "No. 1 Scholar", Fujiwara Tadai's back bent involuntarily, as if this was not enough to express his respect for the No. 1 Scholar.
"The Number One Scholar asked Wei Chen to bring you a letter."
Fujiwara Isamu respectfully presented Gao Zhang's autographed letter with both hands, and Fujiwara Tadai couldn't wait to open it as soon as possible.
Soon, the face that was originally in a good mood suddenly became a little ugly.
Never would I have thought that the old bald thief Shirakawa would actually send an envoy to declare his vassalage to the Song Dynasty, and also want to prevent the Fujiwara Kingdom from obtaining weapons and equipment from the Song Dynasty. This is unreasonable.
Fortunately, Duke Zhuangyuan wrote very clearly in the letter, but he spent a lot of effort to temporarily postpone the matter.
This made Fujiwara Tadai want to blow a kiss to the southwest, but casually, the following content made his mood worse.
"Dong Zhuangyuan wrote a letter asking me to send the two envoys back home."
"If they leave, those Song Dynasty tigers will also leave with them. In this way, I, Fujiwara, will be in danger..."
You know, there were two fleets from the Song Dynasty alone, and among the Song people who participated in the war, the elite combat power of the Song Dynasty was the most powerful. Of course, I have to mention Tong Zhisheng, the deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty.
Now, in the eyes of the Fujiwara Kingdom and the Japanese soldiers, he is simply a demon-like existence, with his excessively tall physique, and his powerful, brave and majestic image.
Whenever he appeared on the battlefield, whether it was Fujiwara or Japanese soldiers, they would try to stay away from this deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty who was always killing people.
The destructive power is so great that no matter whether it is a man or a horse coming from the opposite side, there is only one ending when facing him, either being smashed, beaten to pieces, or broken into pieces.
It can be said that as long as he appears on the battlefield, he will give the Fujiwara soldiers extremely strong confidence in victory.
Especially now that he is seeing his own advantage in the battle, and suddenly all those elite troops will be taken away, a strong sense of insecurity fills Fujiwara Tadai's body and mind.
He wished he could take a boat to Suzhou now, hold the prodigy champion's thigh in person, cry and beg him.
Let those people wait a little longer, at least until they can capture the Gyeonggi area and gain a decisive advantage before leaving.
At least let his side get a few more big wins to build enough confidence for the entire Fujiwara Kingdom.
Seeing the helpless look on His Majesty's face, Master Jingjue, the privy envoy and Fujiwara Tadayi's uncle who had been standing aside for a long time, couldn't help but shout at Fujiwara Yuu and asked.
"Does it mean that apart from this letter, Duke Zhuangyuan has nothing else to explain?"
#####
"Returning to the Privy Envoy, Duke Zhuangyuan has actually told me to ask your Majesty to fulfill the treaties signed with the Song Dynasty as soon as possible.
In addition, if you have any questions, please ask Your Majesty to go to Suzhou in person. He said that there are some matters that can only be discussed in person. "
As soon as these words came out, Jingjue heard the decisive voice of the country leader Fujiwara Tadayi next to him.
"In this case, Nagu will immediately go to Suzhou to meet the Number One Scholar."
"His Majesty……"
Seeing the glances directed at him, Fujiwara Tadai said to his uncle Jingjue.
"I owe everything to Duke Zhuangyuan that I am today. Since Duke Zhuangyuan wants to call me, how can I not go there in person?"
"Besides, I am leaving this time just in time to discuss with the Zhuang Yuan Gong on how to escort the two envoys back home safely."
Hearing this, Jingjue couldn't help but bow to this astute nephew with sincerity. It's so cool that you found such a good excuse.
"Uncle, everything will continue as usual. Whether it's Mr. Cai Ge or that General Tong, their needs will be met as much as possible. We must make sure they have a pleasant stay here."
"There are also those great warriors from the Song Dynasty who came to Fujiwara to help me fight. We must not ignore them."
"Your Majesty, don't worry. The veteran minister will be conscientious and cautious in his actions. He will not dare to violate the rules."
