Fang Zheng went out cursing in his heart.
I never expected that my father-in-law is so skilled!
This little thing I made was used by him so soon, and he also used it on himself.
This great master failed miserably.
At the door, Li Yuanzhao was still waiting bored.
When Fang Zheng appeared, he immediately stepped forward impatiently and asked, "Did the emperor beat you?"
Fang Zheng glanced at him.
"I did hit him, but he almost killed me. He kicked me in the air, and my uniform was torn apart."
Li Yuanzhao immediately smiled and said, "Good! Good! You have also come to this day. Do you know what kind of life we are living?"
"Your Highness, I am about to go on a long journey. His Majesty asked me to go to the Kingdom of Jin as a friendly visit. I must first go to the Honglu Temple to ask if there is any useful information there."
"What's the point of going to that broken place if there's no war?" Li Yuanzhao asked.
"Never mind. His Majesty has appointed me to go, so I'll go. It'll only take a few months anyway. I'll go to the Honglu Temple first to inquire about the situation."
....
In the Honglu Temple, Chen Hong, the Minister of Honglu Temple, greeted Fang Zheng with a warm look on his face when he saw him visiting.
He was very embarrassed to see Fang Zhengyi now.
When Zhang Shi was overthrown before, he wasn't in a much better situation either... He almost lost his life, so it was all thanks to Fang Zhengyi.
Moreover, inviting all officials to the full moon banquet yesterday was tantamount to blatant bribery!
Such a madman...I really don't dare to mess with him.
"Master Fang, it's rare for you to come here. Is there anything important today?"
Fang Zheng got straight to the point: "Yes, the Jin Kingdom delegation is visiting. In addition to the Honglu Temple, my Jinyiwei must also welcome them according to the rules. I came to find out from Lord Chen what kind of person the second prince is and what his character is like. I can also make arrangements in advance to avoid being inadequate in the reception."
"Also, His Majesty has decided that after the Second Prince has finished his visit, I will go back to the Kingdom of Jin with him to return the gift."
"Ah, I heard Your Majesty mention this matter before. Did you agree to go to the Kingdom of Jin?"
"Oh, don't mention it..."
Chen Hong nodded and said, "Congratulations, Lord Fang. This is a rare opportunity. Please follow me."
Then Fang Zhengyi followed Chen Hong to a library.
There were a lot of documents piled up in different categories. Chen Hong searched for a while and pulled out a book.
He quickly flipped through the book, handed it to Fang Zheng, and said, "This is the information we collected about the Jin Dynasty royal family."
"This second prince is called Alibai, and was born when Wutu first took over the Wuliangchi tribe."
"Wu Tu was a strong man. Every time he had a son, he would let his son lead the troops to fight or practice when they grew up, so all of his princes were good at fighting."
"But this Alibai is different. He is not good at leading troops in battle. He never won any battles when Wutu was in charge of the twenty-six tribes. However, he has a good reputation among the tribes. It is said that he is kind and gentle, but Wutu does not like him."
"That's all the information we have. To put it simply, he is an ordinary, honest man. It shouldn't be difficult to deal with him."
Fang Zheng touched his chin and said depressedly: "Isn't that a piece of trash? It's not fair to exchange me for a piece of trash who comes to visit us. I'm at a loss!"
Chen Hong's heart tightened: "Master Fang, please be careful with your words. He is a prince after all. How can you say he is a waste? You are not at a disadvantage!"
"As a prince, you have unlimited resources, but even your own father doesn't like you. You are soft-hearted and kind-hearted, so you will be trampled on by your brothers... You say such a person... is also good!" Fang Zhengyi paused as he spoke, and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Honest people... I like to play with honest people the most!"
I don’t know what the Jin Kingdom was thinking, sending an honest man to do the job.
Isn't that perfect? If you want to know some news or do something, it's best to find an honest person.
Chen Hong shuddered: "Master Fang, what do you want to do? Don't mess around... This is not a trivial matter. Who did an honest man offend?"
What about the honest people? Just play as usual, our main focus is on the three views!
"Well, nothing to do, just chat with him more and promote the friendship between the two countries." Fang Zheng said with a smile.
"By the way, how long will it take for their delegation to reach the capital?"
"Soon. The letter of credence was actually delivered by the diplomatic corps on express horses, so they should be here soon. But it's strange, they seemed to be in a hurry when they visited this time... This was not the procedure in the past." Chen Hong wondered.
Fang Zhengyi also felt that something was not right, especially since Paba specifically invited him by name, but after thinking about it, he had no clue and could only give up.
"Never mind. We don't need to rush even if they come here in a hurry. We can just follow through. Thank you, Master Chen, for today. I will go back and make arrangements first."
.....
Ten days later.
The Jinyiwei and officials from the Honglu Temple were waiting outside the city early.
According to the report from the post station, the Jin Dynasty delegation will enter Beijing today.
Fang Zheng put one hand in his sleeve and looked forward with empty eyes.
I've been waiting for half an hour, but no one has come yet...
He has made a lot of preparations in the past ten days, and the Mid-Levels Daily has made some simple revisions.
Said a lot of good things about the Jin Dynasty and the news.
In the past, they spread negative news about Beirong every day, which was always a blow to their own feet.
Bei Rong's feet were smashed into pieces and there were almost not enough stones.
Now that an envoy has come to visit, it would be inappropriate to do this. What if we are seen?
Then they will definitely fight. Even an honest person cannot be so aggressive!
After ten days of news baptism, the people's mentality has changed a lot. At least they will not laugh at foreigners when they come.
Finally, we carefully prepared a batch of tea leaves for return gifts, and specially provided "diamonds", bicycles and other Dajing specialties...
Half an hour later, a long line appeared in the distance.
The leader was riding a tall horse, wearing a white robe and was quite thin. He looked like a Jin person, but his temperament was somewhat scholarly.
When they were still a hundred or two hundred feet away from the city gate, the attendant beside the man in white pointed and said, "Second Prince, look at the tall young man in the front. He is Fang Zhengyi."
Ali Bai frowned and looked at it, and said softly: "Are you sure? Are you sure?"
"That's right. Fang Zhengyi is taller than the average person, and he is very young in the Dajing officialdom. I remember it very clearly the last time I accompanied the Imperial Master here."
"Second Prince, be careful. The Imperial Master has repeatedly warned us that Fang Zhengyi is a very strange person..."
"I know these things, you don't have to say more."
Alibai nodded slightly, and his hand holding the reins tightened a little.
Although he didn't know why his father, the Khan who had always looked down on him, would suddenly send him to visit Jing State, the national teacher had taught him in every way before the trip that he must be careful with Fang Zhengyi.
This person is unusual and does not follow common sense.
No matter what he says, you must think carefully and not believe it easily. All you have to do is to build a good relationship with him and take him back to the Jin Kingdom.
Now that Fang Zhengyi is right in front of us, we must not let our guard down...
