Chapter 1218 is still herding sheep on the snow mountain
"What, Zhao Chen has left Chang'an?"
At the Office of the Shangshu Provincial Government, Wei Zheng was also stunned when he heard that Zhao Chen had left Chang'an.
"Yes, Mrs. Zhao sent someone to send news that the Duke of Zhao had gone to Cangzhou and no longer said goodbye to Wei Pushe." The officials of the Shangshu Province nodded.
For ordinary officials, Zhao Chen is not in Chang'an, that is really a great news.
Zhao Chen was in Chang'an, just like a mountain suppressing them on their backs.
Even Zhao Chen's breath can make them feel scared.
Fortunately, Zhao Chen left.
Then they are so relaxed.
"Okay, I understand, you go and do your business." Wei Zheng came to his senses and waved his hand and said.
Officials from the Shangshu Province left, but Wei Zheng frowned.
Yesterday, an envoy from Japan came from Japan.
Wei Zheng met with the envoy and learned that the Japanese emperor wanted to establish a marriage relationship with the Tang Dynasty.
To put it bluntly, I just want to propose to marry a prince of the Tang Dynasty for the Japanese prince.
Lu Dongzan from Tubo had also come to the Tang Dynasty for this matter. All officials even agreed, but in the end he was attacked by Zhao Chen.
Wei Zheng knew that Zhao Chen was the one who opposed this matter the most.
I originally thought of telling Zhao Chen about this matter today and then I would find a way to reject the Japanese envoys.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen had left Chang'an today.
The little guy didn't say hello to him, Wei Zheng, if he left.
Now the Japanese envoy is waiting for his reply, and Wei Zheng doesn't know how to answer for a while.
"Wei Pushe, some people call themselves the envoy of the Japanese Kingdom and want to meet Wei Pushe." Wei Zheng was thinking about something, but someone came over outside.
Wei Zheng frowned.
I was thinking about this, but the Japanese envoys came quickly.
"Please go to the hall and prepare tea." Wei Zheng didn't want to meet the Japanese envoy, but he couldn't think of any excuses.
Now that Zhao Chen has left, no matter what, he still has to see him first.
In the hall of the Secretariat's Office, a short Japanese envoy sat here.
I kept chewing on the delicious food from the Tang Dynasty in my mouth.
Japan is located in the barbarians and these things are never seen at all.
At this moment, the first time I tasted such a delicious Japanese envoy, how could I bear it?
The Tang officials who were accompanying him laughed secretly when they saw the Japanese envoys who looked like this.
I thought to myself that it was indeed a barbarian, and it was ridiculous that I had never seen the world before.
"Wei Pu came." A voice suddenly came from outside.
Officials from the Secretariat quickly ran outside to greet him. The Japanese envoy wiped the pastry crumbs from his mouth and tidied up his appearance a little.
"Foreign minister Hideyoshi Matsushita, pay homage to the Wei Pushe of the Tang Dynasty." The Japanese envoy bowed.
They had met yesterday, and Wei Zheng knew his name.
"The envoy of Panasonic sat down." Wei Zheng nodded calmly.
Perhaps before, he agreed that the princess would marry into another country to stabilize the border of the Tang Dynasty and promote the situation of the country of father-in-law and son-in-law.
But since Zhao Chen fiercely opposed such weak moves in the court last time, Wei Zheng has severely opposed this practice.
Of course, if the Japanese princess married to the Tang Dynasty, he would still be acceptable.
This is also the reason why he did not directly talk about this to Zhao Chen yesterday.
Now, Zhao Chen is not around, and it is useless to say anything.
"Thank you for your hard work in Wei Pushe. No wonder you have a minister like Wei Pushe in the Tang Dynasty, so no wonder you are so powerful." Hideyoshi Matsushita flattered him.
He not only praised Wei Zheng himself, but also flattered the power of the Tang Dynasty.
Even if he knew it was flattery, Wei Zheng would inevitably be in a good mood.
"I am just doing my best to do my best to serve my country in the Tang Dynasty." Wei Zheng said with a smile.
If Hideyoshi Panasonic doesn't speak up, he won't say that.
Seeing that Wei Zheng had no intention of mentioning yesterday's incident with him, Hideyoshi Matsushita was a little anxious.
"Wei Pushe, I wonder if Wei Pushe had told the prince about what happened yesterday." Hideyoshi Matsushita couldn't help but ask Wei Zheng.
In the past two years, Japan and the Tang Dynasty have conducted a lot of trade.
Many Japanese people came to the Tang Dynasty to conduct business. After returning to Japan, they told the local Japanese people that they didn’t know how good the Tang Dynasty was.
It also attracted great interest from the Japanese royal family.
In addition, Su Wo Qinghe, as a princess in Japan, actually chose to stay in the Tang Dynasty.
This annoyed the Japanese royal family.
No matter how good the Tang Dynasty is, you, Su and I, the princess Qinghe, would not be willing to fall and stay there.
But since Su I-Qinghe chose to stay in the Tang Dynasty, the Japanese emperor could not force her back.
Isn’t this a solution to ask the Tang Dynasty to marry a princess to them.
This will not only save face, but also gain benefits from the Tang Dynasty.
The Japanese people who have been to the Tang Dynasty said that the wealthy families in the Tang Dynasty always have a lot of dowry to marry their daughters.
If you marry the emperor's daughter, how about the dowry or something?
So Hideyoshi Matsushita came to the Tang Dynasty.
"Enter Panasonic, I'm sorry, this morning, His Highness the Prince had left Chang'an."
"I haven't had time to say that." Wei Zheng said to Hideyoshi Matsushita with an apology.
Hideyoshi Matsushita was stunned for a moment, and then a hint of joy surged in his heart.
The prince he mentioned was naturally Zhao Chen.
Although I have just arrived in Chang'an, Panasonic Hideyoshi has already found out about the news about Chang'an.
Knowing that Zhao Chen has the final say in Chang'an City today.
But Hideyoshi Matsushita knew even more that Zhao Chen opposed the Tang Dynasty princess marrying outside the Tang Dynasty.
But Zhao Chen is in Chang'an, and he can't spare Zhao Chen.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Chen actually left Chang'an.
This is God helping him.
"It's a pity that this is the case. The foreign ministers are still thinking about visiting His Highness the Prince."
"In our country of Japan, His Highness the Prince is also famous."
"Our Emperor also said that we have the opportunity to meet His Highness the Prince."
"What a pity, what a pity."
"Then the current affairs of your country are the ones that your country's queen is responsible for?" Hideyoshi Matsushita suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth and asked Wei Zheng.
Compared to the domineering and difficult Zhao Chen, of course, Empress Changsun is a woman who is easier to deal with.
"It depends on what's going on."
"The queen doesn't interfere in court..."
"The queen will definitely take care of the marriage between your royal family." Hideyoshi Matsushita interrupted Wei Zheng.
Wei Zheng frowned.
Of course, Empress Changsun is responsible for the marriage of the royal children.
Not to mention the royal family, even the children of a group of ministers, Empress Changsun can intervene.
But if Hideyoshi Matsushita said this, Wei Zheng would not understand his thoughts.
"Envoy Matsushita, let me tell you the truth. The person who said last time he wanted to marry my Princess of the Tang Dynasty is still grazing sheep on the snow-capped mountains."
"It's a good thing that the prince left Chang'an. Otherwise, if you say this in front of him, I think you might not be able to go back to Japan." Wei Zheng's voice became cold.
He felt it was time for him to warn Hideyoshi Matsushita.
Otherwise, this guy would really be ignorant of the world.
But Hideyoshi Matsushita seemed to have not understood Wei Zheng's warning.
"Since His Highness is not here, I will ask Wei Pushe to recommend the empress of your country as a foreign minister tomorrow."
