Chapter 201 I heard that you call yourself the emperor?
Iga Yun is the son of the prime minister of Japan. He was born in Heichengjing and is twenty-seven years old this year.
Iga Yun started from what he remembered that he was the best person and he was always proud of his identity. However, it was not until he went to the Yutang Empire that he realized that he was a frog in the well.
When the February monsoon came, Igayun boarded a ship, left the Japanese Kingdom, and headed to the Yutang Empire. This time, his father and the emperor repeatedly told him that he must complete the task, which was related to the future of Japan Kingdom.
Iga Yun's purpose of on-the-go mission was very simple, which was to leave hundreds of students who followed him on a mission to study culture in the Yutang Empire.
The name of Yu Tang Empire, Iga Yun, has been around his ears since he became sensible. He was also very curious about this empire. It seemed that everything in Japan revolved around this country. The words originated from that country, the systems originated from that country, the clothing, language, etc. all originated from that country.
Even the capital of the Japanese Kingdom, Pingchengjing, was built in the image of the Yutang Empire.
However, Iga Yun has always been disdainful of Yu Tang Empire, but has always hidden this disdain in his heart. In his eyes, Japan is the most powerful country. In this Great Six, Japan has been invincible and has conquered all the battles. It has completed the unification of the Four Kingdoms Islands. Iga Yun has unknown why so many people are so afraid of the Yu Tang Empire.
The Japanese Empire has always been on the Yu Tang Empire. Occasionally, the Japanese Empire envoys came to read some sacred edicts. The Japanese Empire, including the Emperor, had to kneel down to receive the orders, and bowed three times and nine times. Iga Yun felt that this was very unruly. Why was the Japanese Empire so powerful and still so?
The two countries have never fought a war. Igayun has also gone to many places over the years and is very enthusiastic. He gradually began to doubt whether the Yu Tang Empire is really as powerful as his father said?
When the ship docked and came to a place called Dengzhou Prefecture, Iga Yun did not feel how powerful the Yutang Empire was. There were such cities in Japan, and even the population was larger than them.
"Is this a big city in the Yutang Empire?"
Iga Yun asked the righteous envoy beside him with a proud attitude. In his opinion, there were only three or four Japanese cities of this size, which was not uncommon. However, the people here were richer than Japanese Japanese. Well, that's it.
The deputy envoy was stunned for a moment, looked at Iga Yun beside him, and whispered: "This is just a small seaside town in Yutang Empire, and it is thousands of miles away from Chang'an City..."
The Dengzhou City officials who came to greet him heard Iga Yun's inquiry and laughed contemptuously: "Dengzhou City is just one of the 36 Daozhous in my Yutang Empire, and it is not even considered a prefecture!"
Iga Yun couldn't help but feel angry when he heard the tone of the little official. No one in Japan had ever spoken to him in this tone. Even the emperor's prince had never used this tone. He couldn't help but feel a little angry, but when he remembered his father's words, he forced himself to endure it.
However, as the mission continued to deepen into the Central Plains of Yutang Empire, Igayun's pitiful self-esteem began to be slowly hit, and at the same time he felt deeply humiliated.
When the mission of the Japanese country came to any city, a minor official arranged accommodation, and then ignored it. When Iga Yun took to the streets, his identity did not receive any preferential treatment. Some merchants even saw that he wanted to buy something, his eyes were like looking at a beggar...
The officials were arrogant, the people’s contempt for him, and everything made him feel deeply insulted. He was the eldest son of the prime minister of Japan and was respected and respected wherever he went in Japan, but here...
"Doway, dodge! Jia, Jia..."
A cavalry rushed on the pipeline, with red flags inserted behind them. All the people of Yu Tang Empire knew very well that this was the messenger of the red flag, which was the legendary Eight Hundred Miles.
"The mission ahead moves away, otherwise there will be no mercy to kill!"
Igayun's mission walked on the official road and heard the shouts behind him from afar. He was very familiar with the language of the Yutang Empire. After hearing the shouts, he turned his head and looked at it, and immediately shouted in panic: "Does go, dodge, dodge, dodge, dodge! Don't block the way!"
This envoy is very clear about some of the rules of the Yu Tang Empire. If you block the Red Flag Messenger, even if you are killed, no one will complain to you, even if you are a foreign envoy...
"We are a mission, do we want to give way too?" Iga Yun asked in confusion. You must know that when the envoys of the Yutang Empire went to the Japanese Kingdom, the emperor had to personally welcome the envoys, and no matter whoever had to give way to the envoys, why did the envoys of the Japanese Kingdom give way to the mere messengers when the envoys arrived in the Yutang Empire?
"Does go!"
Just as Iga Yun was still stunned in the middle of the road, he gritted his teeth and rushed over and threw him on the side of the road.
The Red Flag Messenger of the Yutang Empire, behind the mission, saw a team in front of him blocking the middle of the road. Without any hesitation, he took out his sabre from behind, without any reduction, and continued to rush forward.
Iga Yun was pressed under the commander, and got up from the ground in a mess, and shouted in unhappy Japanese words: "What are you doing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a scene that made him lose all his heart. The Red Flag messenger, holding a saber in his hand, cut off the Japanese delegation members who were blocking the road, and then galloped away. The whole process was only a few seconds, without any reduction, and without any inquiries, he directly killed the delegation members in the middle of the official road.
"This, this, this..."
After seeing this, Iga Yun's eyes were blazing, but he often breathed a sigh of relief: "Huh... Iga Jun, you're fine. These are the Red Flag messengers. No one can block the way. Don't talk about us. Even if the people of the Yutang Empire block their way, they will kill them without hesitation!"
"We are a mission, not ordinary people!"
Just as Takayama Sui looked at Iga Yun, he shook his head: "In Yutang Empire, we are not even as good as ordinary people..."
A word from Takayama Sui, Iga Yun stayed in place, and only one sentence echoed in his mind: In the Yutang Empire, they were not even as good as an ordinary citizen. He was the son of the prime minister of Japan, and he was in Japan...
"Buried the body on the spot and continue on the road..."
After Tatsuyama Sui finished speaking, he walked to Iga Yun's side and slowly spoke: "The law of the Yu Tang Empire stipulates that the people of Yu Tang kill foreigners and fined twenty taels of silver. Those of the foreigners who killed Yu Tang's people, Lingchi, and slaughtered hundreds of people of the same clan..."
When I heard this, Iga Yun felt that his world had been subverted. It turned out that he was so ridiculous, it turned out that he was...
There were seven Japanese people killed in the mission because they did not have time to avoid the Red Flag Messenger. After simply restraining their bodies, the mission went on the road again. When Igayun came to Chang'an City, he further realized what a frog in the well he was...
"This is Chang'an City?"
Iga Yun looked at the huge Chang'an wall in front of him and almost knelt on the ground. Before, the people in his delegation were killed and resentful, but now he suddenly had no resentment, only boundless fear and admiration.
"This is Chang'an, the capital of Yutang Empire, and the largest city in the world, with a population of millions!"
"How could there be such a powerful empire!"
Igayun followed the delegation into Chang'an City with a trembling trembling. After a brief shock, Igayun seemed to suddenly wake up, understanding why his father sent so many students to study in Yutang Empire and why...
"I must stay in Chang'an and bring all the knowledge here back to Japan!" Iga Yun looked at the magnificent Chang'an City and swore in his heart.
After the Japanese delegation entered Beijing, Yu Zhigan did not pay too much attention. He only saw an urgent report from the Red Flag Messenger two days ago and was happy. His cheap father was finally back. It was not easy. After going out for a few months, his cheap father showed his conscience and was ready to return!
As for the later report that the Ministry of Rites reported that the Red Flag Messenger seemed to have killed several people from the delegation because someone blocked the road. Yu Zhigan frowned and ordered to check whether the country's delegation dared to block the Red Flag Messenger. However, when Yu Zhigan saw that the Japanese delegation was blocking the road, he smiled and was worried that there was no excuse. Now it seems that he can toss them well.
In the main hall, Yu Zhigan handled the memorial while drinking tea. The mission of the Japanese Kingdom was already waiting for the summons outside. It was the end of March, and the weather in Chang'an City was still a bit strange. It was a little cool in the morning, but it was a little hot in the afternoon. Yu Zhigan did not handle his government affairs slowly, and it was almost until the evening when he remembered that he had something to do.
Outside the main hall, the Japanese delegation had been waiting for three hours, but there was no complaint. He was waiting for the summoning in the side hall. Iga Yun stood up from time to time to see what was going on outside, but when he arrived at the door, he would be stopped by the guards.
"Why haven't we summoned yet?" Iga Yun asked anxiously. He had never encountered such treatment in Japan. Who did he want to see...
Gao Shansui took a sip of tea and looked at the anxious Iga Yun: "Don't worry, it's already our honor to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Yu Tang Empire. I remember when I first went to the Yu Tang Empire, I didn't even see His Majesty the Emperor. I knelt far away outside the hall to listen to the orders..."
Iga Yun's face looked a little bad. Now he dared not say shamelessly that the Japanese Kingdom can be comparable to the Yu Tang Empire, but the Yu Tang Empire is actually like this...
When the sky got darker, an eunuch finally brought Takayama Sui and Iga Yun into the side hall.
"Foreign minister, Gao Shanxue of the Japanese Kingdom, I have met His Royal Highness!"
"Exterior city, Igayun, the Kingdom of Japan, have met His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Yu Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the head and deputy envoy of the Japanese mission. He finally understood why the Japanese were called later. He was really not tall. Both of them were about 1.4 meters tall and they were dressed like Tang suits, but they were a little inappropriate.
"Get up!"
After Yu Zhigan narrowed his eyes and looked at them curiously. The current Japanese Kingdom can be said to be respectful to the Central Plains dynasty without any unfair intentions. It is one of the most loyal vassal states, but in the future...
"Thank you, Your Highness, Your Highness, this is the letter of nationality presented by the King of Japan, and there is also a list of tributes to you this year. Our country is willing to make a permanent love with the I Tang Dynasty!"
Compared with other small countries who brought some trashed iron to pay tribute, every tribute from Japan is considered a treasure. Yu Zhigan took a look at the book of the country. The content was not much different from before. He first said hello and then started to say something. Yu Zhigan now knows the purpose of these guys' mission this time.
He looked at the gift list again, and there were more than 30 beauties from Japan. Yu Zhi's eyes lit up. The girls from Japan, forget it, they are not the teachers in later generations. Yu Zhi's appearance is not too much anticipation when he sees Iga Yun and Takayama Aoi.
If you want to be an envoy, you generally have to choose people. People with good looks and temperament may become envoys. Otherwise, it would be a reduction in the image of the country. When Cao Cao met foreign envoys, he found someone to pretend to be himself because he was not good-looking, let alone the envoys who went to the country?
"Thank you all the way!" Yu Zhigan simply said four words, not asking more, but thought about how to arrange these envoys to send Tang, directly rejecting his father's affirmation. Moreover, he also wants a chart of Japan, but if this is used as a transaction...
"Your Highness, the foreign minister came here this time, on the order of my king, and wanted to send 300 students from our country to study in the country. I hope your highness will approve it!"
At this time, Yu Zhigan heard it clearly. These guys claimed that they were my king rather than the emperor. After thinking about it carefully, there should be an emperor in Japan at this time, but they dare not use it as a title here, but they are called the king.
I couldn't help but think of the plot in history I had seen before. When the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom came to the Central Plains dynasty, he directly claimed to be in accordance with the will of the Emperor. Then... I didn't think there was anything before, but now it seems that this is completely seeking death. The title is a very important thing. If someone dares to scream at will, he will be beheaded!
But when I thought of this, Yu Zhigan showed a playful smile on his face, slowly tapped the table with his hands, and then slowly spoke: "Your name is Gao Shansui?"
"The outer city is high and mountain years..."
"No need to introduce it, explain something to me!"
When he said this, Yu Zhi's mouth curled up slightly: "You said that the king of Japan calls himself my king?"
"Yes! The Kingdom of Japan is a small country, and it is a vassal state of Yu Tang Empire, so my king is naturally my king. This was personally conferred by Emperor Gaozu..."
Yu Zhi nodded. He had seen this incident. His ancestor Yu Yang had conferred the title of King of Japan. It seemed that he was called King Fusang or something. Yu Zhigan did not remember it.
But these are not the point.
Yu Zhigan picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and said softly: "Then why did I hear that your king calls himself the emperor?"
Chapter completed!
