Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The goose yellow embroidered curtain is full of feminine atmosphere. A soothing and pleasant voice came from inside: "I heard from Cao Tai that Semu people from the west come to do business, and they like to buy high-quality silk and porcelain. You have prepared some tributes to give back to the cannibals."

Several ministers bowed and said: "I will obey the order."

At this time Cao Tai came out from the side, looked at Wang Pu and said: "Wang Shijun stay here for now, Madam has a few words to say to you."

After hearing this, the other ministers bowed and retired one after another.

Cao Tai said: "Wang Shijun saw the letter written by the official from Hebei?"

Wang Pu said: "The old minister has respectfully read His Majesty's will."

He pondered for a moment, and then said to the figure sitting inside the curtain: "The old minister recommends a person. This person is a member of the Privy Council of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty). His name is Li Xin. He should be the right person to handle this matter."

There was no response from the inside of the curtain, so Cao Tai immediately asked in a timely manner: "Wang Shijun, is this Li Xin demoted? What's his ability?"

Wang Pudao: "The veteran thinks that Li Xin is proficient in interrogation and interrogation, and has the ability to do it.

When the Zhou army broke through Jinyang, they found an armory in Jinyang City, which contained tools for forging new armor. After questioning, it turns out that this is the place where the Eastern Han (Northern Han) kingdom wanted to steal the forging method of the Dazhou Jiafang, and the official in charge of this place was Li Xin. Because of his undeniable crimes, this person was immediately arrested and sent to Tokyo to be imprisoned.

However, as far as I know, the Eastern Han Dynasty sent spies to capture only a disabled handyman in Jiafang. Li Xin can gather a group of craftsmen to try to imitate the new armor with just such a person, and the general structure of the forging hammer is somewhat similar!

Therefore, although the old minister ignored this person, he had already prepared a file in the Privy Council.

Recently, when I received a letter from His Majesty asking for the method of building a large food merchant ship and sailing, I thought of Li Xin. He has been picked up from the prison and is waiting to be summoned outside the Jinxiang Hall. "

Fu Jinzhan's voice sounded very interested, "Oh? Now that he's here, let him come in and take a look."

Cao Tai winked, and a woman in a round-neck gown and a headband walked quickly to the outside of the West Hall, but she would speak loudly.

Not long after, a haggard-looking man wearing a gray cloth robe came in. He must have suffered a lot after being in prison for so long, and he looked extremely thin, but his clothes were new and clean, after all, he was going to enter the palace.

The man walked to the inner hall of the study room, which was not spacious, and immediately knelt down on the ground, with his upper body lying on the floor tiles, his waist raised high, and he said, "Officer Li Xin kowtowed to Empress Duanci!"

The voice behind the curtain was pleasant and generous: "Cao Tai, you can ask him for this palace."

Cao Tai remained calm, but his voice was soft but clear: "Li Xin, Empress Duanci would like to ask you, are you willing to serve the Great Zhou court?"

Li Xin still knelt on the ground, facing the floor tiles, and hurriedly said: "Mother Hui, the sinful minister was originally from Hedong. At that time, Hedong was owned by the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu's family proclaimed the emperor. When he became an official, he became a minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Now that the Eastern Han Dynasty has been destroyed, Hedong has returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The people of the world were originally one. The ministers and the people of Hedong are already the ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the king drives away, how can the minister not follow?"

After hearing this, Cao Tai looked at Wang Pu, who smiled casually and nodded slightly.

Cao Taidao: "The imperial court will give you a chance. As long as you have meritorious service, you can pardon your past crimes and increase your rank."

Li Dao said: "Please give orders to Empress Duanci and Wang Shijun."

Cao Tai didn't continue talking.

Wang Pu glanced sideways at the fine curtain, waited for a moment, and said, "The merchant ship of the big cannibal is on the coast near Xingwang's mansion in the south. It traveled thousands of miles and successfully reached the border of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Your Majesty is very interested in it. But the sea trade with the big cannibal is beneficial to the imperial court, and Dazhou is a state of etiquette. Things should not be too ugly to damage the reputation."

Li Xin said: "What Wang Shijun said is true."

Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "What can you do? Talk about it in front of Empress Duanci."

Fu Jinzhan's voice said: "Get up and talk."

"Empress Xie Duanci." Li Xin frowned as he slowly got up from the ground. When he stood up straight, he cupped his hands and said, "This matter requires two things: shipbuilding skills, and long-distance sailing methods. At this time, there are real objects, the ship is parked on the coast of Dazhou, and it is enough to find a reason to hold it; and there are livelihoods. A large number of big food merchants are in our country."

Wang Pu said lightly: "Compared with only one handyman in the armor workshop, the conditions for imitating new armor are much better, isn't it?"

Li Xin hurriedly bowed and said: "The guilty minister is so ashamed, it is really helpless."

Wang Pu was silent.

Li Xin said again: "The guilty minister needs two things. One is the identity of the court official, and the other is the order of the Privy Council to mobilize a garrison of the King Xing's Mansion. First, send gifts to the envoys for important events to go south, and then find a reason to say that the big food merchant ship violated the laws of the Great Zhou and detained the ship and people together!

With the real goods of the Dashi Merchant Ship, officials can be ordered to recruit shipwrights and craftsmen to dismantle the merchant ship and "search" for prohibited items.

Then the crew members were interrogated separately, one promised to keep them confidential, and the other compared the truth of the confession.

When we get what we need, the cannibal will be acquitted and appeased. "

After Wang Pu heard this, he turned to his superior and said, "Report to Empress Duanci, I ask Li Xin to be the deputy envoy of the Hakka Province. It is justified to send the big food businessman back to the south."

Fu Jinzhan's voice said: "Very appropriate."

Li Xin immediately kowtowed to the ground and said, "Thank you, Empress Duanci, Long En, I will bow down and die!"

Fu Jinzhan's voice said: "It turned out that the envoy of the Hakka province was Zan Jurun. Zan Jurun was changed into a cabinet assistant, a minister of the Ministry of Rites, and a military supervisor. The Hakka province has not been presided over for many months. If you complete this matter, I will ask for credit for you and let His Majesty personally appoint you as the Hakka envoy."

Li Xin was overjoyed and grateful to Dade.

... Li Xin came out of the West Palace, and first went to get the official seal, clothes and settling allowance. He was an official of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the system of the Northern Han Dynasty was similar to that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was familiar with these things. Then, regardless of his weakness just after he got out of the prison, he first went to see the food envoy.

Shuaiman and the others were happy when they received a generous reward from the imperial court.

Stroking the exquisite silk with his handsome hand, he said in the words of Dashi: "The royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty is very warm and generous to us. We are very grateful for the royal family's kindness."

After translating, Li Xin said with a smile on his face: "The noble envoy sent the best gift from the Dashi Kingdom, and the imperial court gave back the best things. These are all tributes. Officials from all over the country sent the best things in their locality to the royal family."

Shuaiman then said to the interpreter Lu Yongzhen: "I heard an explosion outside the city the day before yesterday. What is that?"

Lu Yongzhen said casually: "It is said that it is a firearm, a weapon made of explosives."

"Explosive medicine?" Shuaiman looked very interested.

At this time, Li Xin quietly observed Lu Yongzhen who was talking with the cannibal. \u003c
