Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Let me go, give salted fish as a gift, give pickled salted fish?Is this little devil out of his mind?Is it because the Fusang country is already so poor that even pickled salted fish has become a high-end gift?Or do these two little devils feel that the majestic Pingyang County Government can't even afford salted fish?

Regardless of the reason and purpose, Guo Ye has never seen it, let alone heard of it, how can anyone give a gift of stinky salted fish!

"Humph!"

Immediately, Guo Ye's face darkened, and he let out a cold breath from his nose.

Yagyu Kyoyoshi and Kita Chenichiro looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.Because they carefully selected the gifts for this visit and brought them from the Fusang Kingdom, but the nobleman of the Tang Dynasty in front of him, the popular man in front of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the Duke of Pingyang County, was very fond of the presents from the two of them. Not satisfied.

Yagyu Koryo's brain is more flexible and easy to use than Bei Chenichiro, and he immediately bowed again and again, shouting "Smimasa" in his mouth.

Smi Masa, Guo Ye often hears it in the love action movies of little devils in later generations, which means I'm sorry.

Seeing Yagyu Kyoyoshi, who is proficient in Chinese, shout out Fusang language to apologize in a hurry, Guo Ye knew that the other party was obviously overly nervous.

Only after listening to Yagyu Kyoyoshi hastily apologized, he explained in Chinese: "Master Shangbang, please don't misunderstand, so that Mr. Guo Jungong will know that this time the two of us originally wanted to bring you our Fusang kingdom. The most expensive sashimi is here, but Fusang Kingdom and Datang are across the sea, and the sea voyage is far away, so sashimi is easy to rot and go bad and cannot be eaten. Therefore, we use marinated salted fish as a substitute. It is guaranteed to be safe to eat. However, although these salted fish are pickled and dried, they are definitely made from the most precious mackerel in our Fusang. In our Fusang, only His Majesty the Emperor and members of the royal family can Eat it. For example, Patriarch Yagyu and I had the honor of participating in the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor, so we only tasted the taste of mackerel."

After saying that, Yagyu Kyoyoshi couldn't help but smacked his mouth twice, as if he still couldn't finish it, and he really missed the taste of mackerel.

Beichenichiro was not as eloquent as Yagyu Kyoyoshi, but he nodded his head again and again, for fear that Guo Ye would not believe Yagyu Kyoyoshi's words.

Hearing Yagyu Kyoyoshi's explanation and looking at Bei Chenichiro's expression, Guo Ye re-covered the two wooden boxes with suspicion, and then rushed to the living room to call for someone to come over and take the two boxes down and put them away. , go back and try.

Even though the mackerel, to be precise, the mackerel salted fish is the most valuable fish in the kingdom of the little devils, and only the emperor and the royal family deserve to eat it, Guo Ye still didn't get ecstasy soup by Yagyu Kyoyoshi.Your sister, just a few stinky salted fishes just want to fool your buddy, the little devil is not good enough.

The servants came to the living room to take away the salted fish, and Guo Ye felt that the air in the living room was not so pungent.

Then he waved his hands at the two of them, motioning them to sit down, and asked: "I have never met the two Patriarchs, and this is the first time we meet today. I wonder why the two Patriarchs are looking for someone like Guo?"

Yagyu Kyoyoshi pondered for a while after sitting in the top chair, and was about to speak, but this time Bei Chenichiro took the lead and said first: "We came here today to ask Master Guo for help."

After finishing speaking, Yagyu Kyoyoshi glared at him angrily, and then hurriedly added: "We led a delegation to visit Datang Shangbang for the first time, and when we arrived in Chang'an, we heard about the heroic deeds of Mr. Guo, Duke of Pingyang County. An important minister of Tang Shangbang, and also a popular person in front of His Majesty Khan of Tang Dynasty today. So, this time, I take the liberty of visiting the door, and I want to ask the Duke of Pingyang to lend a helping hand and wait for me."

Compared to Bei Chenichiro's straightforwardness, Yagyu Koryo's words were a little more flattering and tactful, which made Guo Ye feel much more at ease listening to him.

How could Guo Ye treat him coldly when he stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiling face, not to mention Yagyu Kyoyoshi who flattered him in a different way?

So he shook his head, and said humbly: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Patriarch Liu Sheng first let's listen and see if someone Guo can help you."

Yagyu Koryo glared at Beichen Ichiro secretly again, and signaled to this mindless fellow not to add to the confusion, and then he said to Guo Ye with a smile: "Lord Guojun, the thing is like this, this time our Liusheng family and Beichen family will lead The regiment stayed away from Fusang, traveled across the ocean to Datang, and then came to Chang'an non-stop. In addition to exchanging kendo and martial arts with the Central Plains Shangbang through martial arts, we also wanted to pay homage to the emperor of your country. But we repeatedly asked Chang'an of your country Mr. Fu Yin handed over the request, but he never responded to us. Therefore, I came to pay a visit to Mr. Guo today because I know that Mr. Guo is a celebrity in front of the emperor of your country. The emperor of your country knew our heart to pay homage to the Son of Heaven, and allowed us to enter the palace to have an audience with Tianyan."

laugh……

Guo Ye chuckled secretly, he didn't blame Ma Yuanju, the governor of Chang'an, for ignoring you, His Majesty Li Er didn't let go, did he dare to make a claim and lead you into the palace?

His Majesty Li Er knows that you are weasels and have no good intentions to pay New Year greetings to chickens. It is too late to hide from you, so where will I see you?

Thinking about how pitiful these little devils are, they came to Datang in the name of non-governmental exchanges, so naturally they could not get arrangements and hospitality from the Ministry of Rites, and could only be treated according to the standards of ordinary foreigners.With this kind of standard, seeing Ma Yuanju is already giving them a high regard, let alone entering the imperial city or the imperial palace.

You know, Datang is now the most powerful country in the world, and Chang'an is the largest city in the world. Foreigners in Datang are not worth much, and Tang talents are the No. 1.Don't want to enjoy welfare under the banner of overseas people in Datang. In Datang and Chang'an, foreigners are foreigners, not my race, and they have to walk with their heads bowed.

Especially foreigners who did not go on missions in the name of the emperors of various countries, it is even more impossible to get high-standard treatment from the Tang court.

In fact, Guo Ye knew from the information fed back by An Ye and Guan Jiujiu that these two so-called pilgrimage groups from the Fusang Edo family were fundamentally ordered by the Emperor Fusang.You must know that in history, the little devils’ envoys to the Tang Dynasty were carefully selected by the Fusang court. The purpose was to come to the Tang Dynasty to take advantage of the benefits and steal skills. Talk about things in name.

Since they wanted to continue pretending and deceiving, Guo Ye simply pretended not to know anything.

After listening to Yagyu Koryo's request, he frowned slightly, pondered for a while, shook his head pretending to be regretful, and sighed: "This matter is difficult, you two, after all, you are not from the court of your country. You are envoys, and you don’t have the credentials of the emperor of your country, and you only came to our Tang Dynasty in the name of a private person. It is very difficult to get an audience with our emperor.”

"what?"

Bei Chenichiro exclaimed, and immediately lowered his head, wondering what he was thinking about.

Yagyu Kyoyoshi also looked regretful and shook his head speechlessly.

Suddenly, Guo Ye changed the subject and said again: "But, everything can be changed. I have a way to help the two guests who came from afar..."

"what?"

Bei Chenichiro exclaimed again, and disregarding Yagyu Koyoshi's previous warning, he couldn't help but ask first, "Master Guo Jungong, what can you do to help us meet His Majesty the Emperor of your country?"

Little devil, I'm really in a hurry!

Chapter 1121 Someone behind the scenes

Whether it was Yagyu Kyoyoshi's every move, or Beichen Ichiro's expression changes, Guo Ye could see them all.

These two little devils are really anxious!

Think about it, too. After traveling across the ocean to Datang and staying in Chang'an for such a long time, more than 1000 people have to pay for all their food, drink, and sleep. This is a lot of money.

Because this time Bei Chenichiro and Yagyu Kyoyoshi were ordered by Emperor Fuso to come to Datang to do things like stealing chickens and dogs.Therefore, they did not dare to use the banner of Emperor Fuso of the Fusang court, but came to Datang in the name of private exchanges, so they were not considered overseas envoys, and their expenses could not be paid by the Tang court.

If things go on like this for a long time, if they can't see His Majesty Li Er again, and they can't get the rich rewards from the Tang court, they really can't hold on.

deserve it!Who asked you little devils to come to our Datang to steal chickens and dogs?

Guo Ye cursed inwardly, the more embarrassed he was seeing the little devil, the happier he felt.

Afterwards, he glanced at the two people who looked a little embarrassed, and said leisurely: "There is no way, we Han people have a saying? Oh yes, it's called not being able to get straight, so we ask for it in the song." !"

Although Beichen Ichiro can speak Chinese fluently, he still understands nine out of ten things about Chinese culture...he doesn't know anything about it.

On the contrary, Liu Sheng Gongliang was stronger than him. He heard Guo Ye's implication, and he bowed his hands slightly like the Han people, and softly echoed: "Then the Lord Lao Guo will plan for us. I will wait to hear the details!"

"A child can be taught, haha, your learning attitude is very good!"

Guo Ye deliberately took advantage of his words, and then said with a smile: "Recently, His Majesty has been annoyed by something, so you want to see him, it's hard! If the two of you can help him solve this problem Little trouble, hehe, I think His Majesty will definitely welcome you into the palace to meet him."

"Well?"

Yagyu Kyoyoshi's sluggish spirit suddenly lifted, his eyes widened and he said, "So that's the case? I thought it was Mr. Ma, the Governor of Chang'an who deliberately made things difficult for us?"

Bei Chenichiro said: "How can the troubles of the emperor of your country be solved by us Fusang people?"

"Bei Chen-jun, please shut up!"

Yagyu Koryo glared at Bei Chenichiro, and then smiled at Guo Ye: "Mr. Guo, please ignore Mr. Bei Chen, he can't talk. We Fusang warriors like to help others solve their problems, especially the troubles of the Tang Emperor. It is the highest honor of our Fusang warriors to help him solve his troubles!"

After a few words, Guo Ye had goosebumps all over his body, and he was about to fall to the ground, damn it, buddy really wants to vomit!

This Liusheng little devil's words are too hypocritical, too hypocritical!

However, Guo Ye endured his nausea and continued to respond in a perfunctory way: "Patriarch Liusheng really deserves to be a warrior of the Fusang Kingdom. You are not bad. I am optimistic about you. Let me tell you the truth, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the Tang Dynasty is becoming more and more fierce. There is a stalemate. Although His Majesty does not like foreign Buddhism, he always has a heart of compassion, and he cannot bear to destroy the foundation of Buddhism. Therefore, if you, Emperor Fuso, can send someone to send a letter of credence to His Majesty, I ask our Tang Dynasty to send all the Buddhist monks and Buddhist scriptures in the Central Plains to your Fusang country. I think His Majesty is willing to do this kind of favor to the emperor of your country. In this way, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in my Tang Dynasty will be resolved. His Majesty doesn't need to worry about the Buddhist affairs any more, and get angry again, don't you think so?"

After Guo Ye finished speaking, Yagyu Kyoyoshi and Kita Chenichiro fell silent.

After they arrived in Chang'an, they had heard a little about the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the Central Plains.
