5days ago traverse Novels 2
The goose yellow embroidered curtains are filled with a feminine atmosphere.

A soothing and pleasant voice came from inside: I heard Cao Tai say that the people from the west came to do business and loved to buy good silk and porcelain.You have prepared some tributes for the big cannibals.

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

At this time, Cao Tai walked out of the side and looked at Wang Pu and said: Please stay here for the time being. The Empress has a few words to say to you.

After hearing this, the other ministers bowed and retreated.

Cao Tai said: Did the envoy Wang see the letter written by the official from Hebei?

Wang Pu said: The old minister has read Your Majesty's holy wishes respectfully.

He pondered for a moment, and then said to the figure sitting in the curtain: The old minister recommended one person, who was the official in the Privy Council of the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han Dynasty), named Li Xin, and should be the one who is suitable for this matter.

There was no response in the curtain, and Cao Tai immediately asked: Wang Envoy, is this Li Xin surrendered to the official position?What are the abilities?

Wang Pu said: The old minister thinks that Li Xin is very good at interrogating and inquiring about confessions and is capable of hard work.

When the Great Zhou army captured Jinyang, they discovered an armory in Jinyang City, including tools to forge new armor.

Once inquired, it turned out that this was where the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han) wanted to steal the method of forging the Jiafang in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The official in charge of this place was Li Xin.

Because of his conviction, this person was immediately arrested and imprisoned in Tokyo.

However, as far as I know, the person sent by the spy from the Eastern Han Dynasty was just a disabled handyman in Jianjiafang.

Li Xin could gather a group of craftsmen to try to imitate the new armor with just such a person, and the rough structure of the forged hammer was somewhat similar!

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

Recently, when I received a letter from His Majesty that he wanted to build the method of navigation in Dashi merchant ships, I remembered Li Xin.He had been taken out of the prison and was waiting outside the Jinxiang Hall to summon him.

Fu Jinzhan's voice sounded very interesting, Oh?Since he has arrived, Xuan came in and took a look.

Cao Tai winked, and a woman wearing a round neck robe and a robe with a squat and a squat walked quickly outside the west hall, but she would pass the message loudly.

Soon, a haggard man wearing a gray cloth robe walked in. He had to suffer a lot of hardships for so long in prison and looked very thin, but his clothes were fresh and clean, after all, he was going to enter the palace.

The man walked to the not-so-wide inner hall of the study room and immediately knelt on the ground, lying on the floor tiles, and raised his waist high, saying, "The criminal official Li Xin kowtowed to Empress Duanci!"

A beautiful tone behind the curtain said with a generous voice: Cao Tai, please ask him for this palace.

Cao Tai remained silent, his voice was feminine but his speech was clear: Li Xin, Empress Duanci wanted 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: If you go back to the emperor, the criminal minister was originally from Hedong. At that time, Hedong was owned by the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu was the emperor and the criminal minister became a minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty when he became an official.Now that the Eastern Han Dynasty has been destroyed, Hedong returns to the Great Zhou, the people of the world are originally one, and the people of Hedong are already ministers of the Great Zhou.If the king has a driving force, how can the ministers not follow?

After hearing this, Cao Tai looked at Wang Pu, and Wang Pu's face showed an inadvertent smile and nodded slightly.

Cao Tai said: The court gives you a chance. As long as you make merit, you can forgive your past sins and be promoted to the title.

Li Xindao: Please give the order to Empress Duanci and the King's envoy.

Cao Tai didn't continue speaking.

Wang Pu looked at the fine curtain slightly, waited for a moment, and then said: The great cannibal merchant ship was on the coast near the Xingwang Mansion in the south. It was a long distance of thousands of miles to reach the Great Zhou border. Your Majesty was very interested in it.However, trade with the great cannibals is beneficial to the court, and the Great Zhou Dynasty is a country of etiquette, so things cannot be done too ugly, which will ruin its reputation.

Li Xin said: What the King Envoy said.

Wang Pu said in a deep voice: What method do you have to say in front of Queen Duanci.

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

Empress Xie Duanci.Li Xin frowned and thought while slowly getting up from the ground.

When he stood up straight, he bowed and said: This is a matter of two things: shipbuilding skills and long-distance navigation methods.At this time, there were both physical objects and the ship stopped on the coast of Dazhou, and it was just a matter of finding a reason to hold it back; there were also a large number of Dashi merchants in our country.

Wang Pu said lightly: Compared to only one Jiafang slaughter, the conditions for imitating the new Jia are much better, right?

Li Xin hurriedly said: The guilty minister was ashamed of his grief, and he was really helpless.

Wang Pu said nothing.

Li Xin also said: Two things are needed for criminals, one is the identity of a court official, and the other is the order of the Privy Council to mobilize a unit of the garrison in the Xingwangfu.First, he went south with the excuse of sending the envoys to major affairs, and then found a reason to say that the Dashi merchant ship violated the laws and regulations of the Great Zhou Dynasty and seized the ship and the people!

With the physical objects of Dashi merchant ships, officials and recruit ship workers and craftsmen can be ordered to dismantle the merchant ships and "search" the prohibited objects.

The crew members were interrogated separately, one promised to keep them confidential, and the other compared with the authenticity of the confession.

When we get what we need, we acquitted the cannibals and comfort them.

After hearing this, Wang Pu turned around and said to the superior: Report to Empress Duanci, I asked Li Xin to be appointed as the deputy envoy of the guest province. The ruling can be sent to the merchant of Dashi to the south with a legitimate reputation.

Fu Jinzhan's voice said: Very appropriate.

Li Xin immediately bowed and bowed to the ground and said, "Empress Duanci's kindness, I must devote myself to my dedication to you until you die!"

Fu Jinzhan's voice said: It turns out that the envoy of the guest province was Zan Jurun, who was renamed the cabinet's auxiliary government, the Minister of Rites, and the Military Arts Supervisor. No one presided over the meeting for many months.If you have done this, I will ask for merit for you and let Your Majesty personally teach you to save the guests.

Li Xin was overjoyed and grateful.

...Li Xin came out of the West Palace and first received official seal clothes and family settlement fees. He was originally an official in the Northern Han Dynasty. The system of the Northern Han Dynasty was similar to that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was familiar with these things.

Then, without caring about being weak after just coming out of prison, I first went to meet the envoy of the Great Food.

Shuai Man and others received a generous reward from the court, and it was just the time to be happy.

The handsome man stroked the exquisite silk with his hands and said in Dashi's words: The Great Zhou royal family is very enthusiastic and generous to us, and we are very grateful to the royal family for their kindness.

After the translation, Li Xin smiled and said: The envoy sent the best gift from the Great Food Kingdom, and the court gave the best things back.These are tributes, and officials from all over the country gave the best local goods to the royal family.

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

Lu Yongzhen casually said: It is said to be a firearm, a weapon made of explosive medicine.

Explosive medicine?Shiman looks very interested.

At this time, Li Xin was quietly observing Lu Yongzhen who was talking to the cannibal.
