The goose yellow embroidered curtain was filled with a feminine atmosphere. A soothing and pleasant voice came from inside: "I heard from Cao Tai that the people in the west came to do business and loved to buy good silk and porcelain. You have some tributes to give them back to 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, "Let's stay here for the time being, the empress have 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 wish."

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

There was no response in the curtain, and Cao Tai immediately asked at the right time: "Envoy Wang, is this Li Xin being demoted to the official position? What are the abilities?"

Wang Pu said: "The old minister thinks that Li Xin is well aware of interrogation and confession, and has the ability to do practical things.

When the Great Zhou army captured Jinyang, they discovered an armory in Jinyang City, which contained tools forging new armor. Once investigated, it turned out that this was where the Eastern Han Dynasty (Northern Han) wanted to steal the forging method of Dazhou Jiafang. The official in charge of this place was Li Xin. Because of his conviction, this person was immediately arrested in Tokyo and imprisoned.

However, as far as I know, the person sent by the spy from the Eastern Han Dynasty was just a disabled handyman in the Jiafang. 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 forging 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 the Great Food Merchant Ship, I remembered Li Xin. He had taken him out of the prison and was waiting outside the Jinxiang Hall to summon him."

Fu Jinzhan's voice sounded very interested, "Oh? Since he has come, Xuan comes in and takes 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 send a message loudly.

Soon, a haggard man wearing a gray cloth robe walked in. He had definitely suffered a lot when he was in prison for so long. He 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-spacious 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 bowed to Empress Duanci!"

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

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, "When I go back to the emperor, the criminal minister was originally a native of Hedong. At that time, Hedong was owned by the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu was appointed as the emperor. The criminal minister became a minister of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Now that the Eastern Han Dynasty has been destroyed, Hedong has returned to the Great Zhou Dynasty. The people of the world are originally one, and the people of Hedong are already ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If the king has driven him, how can the ministers not follow?"

After hearing this, Cao Tai looked at Wang Pu. 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 a higher position."

Li Xin said: "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 said, "The Great Cannibal's merchant ship was on the coast near the Xingwang Mansion in the south. It traveled thousands of miles to successfully reach the border of the Great Zhou. Your Majesty was very interested in it. However, trade with the Great Cannibal's seas is beneficial to the court, and the Great Zhou is a country of etiquette. Things cannot be done too ugly, which will ruin its reputation."

Li Xin bowed and said, "What the King Envoy said is."

Wang Pu said in a deep voice: "What method do you have? Tell me in front of Queen Duanci."

Fu Jinzhan's voice said, "Get up and talk."

"Empress Xie Duanci." Li Xin slowly got up from the ground and frowned and thought. After standing 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 reason to hold it back; there were also survivors, and a large number of Dashi merchants were in our country."

Wang Pu said lightly: "It is much better to imitate the new A-Changing Office than just one A-Changing Office, right?"

Li Xin hurriedly said, "The criminal was ashamed of being so embarrassed, and he was really helpless."

Wang Pu said nothing.

Li Xin also said: "The criminal minister needs two things. One is the identity of an official in the court, and the other is the order of the squad of the Privy Council. One can mobilize a unit of the Xingwang Mansion to mobilize the institution. First, send the envoys to the south with the reasons for sending the envoys in major affairs, and then find a reason to say that the Dashi merchant ship violated the Dazhou law and seized the ship and the people together!

With the physical objects of Dashi merchant ships, officials can be ordered to recruit ship workers and craftsmen 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 acquit the cannibals and comfort them."

After hearing this, Wang Pu turned around and said to the superior: "Reported to Empress Duanci, I would like to grant Li Xin the deputy envoy to the guest province. The chief can justify the Dashi merchant to return to the south."

Fu Jinzhan's voice said: "It's very appropriate."

Li Xin immediately bowed to the ground and bowed and said, "I will devote myself to my dedication to you until my death!"

Fu Jinzhan's voice said: "It turns out that the envoy of the Guest Province is Zan Jurun, who has been renamed the cabinet as an assistant minister, the Minister of Rites, and the Military Arts Supervisor. No one has presided over the Guest Province for many months. If you have done this, I will ask for merit for you and let Your Majesty personally teach you to be an envoy of the Guest Province."

Li Xin was overjoyed and grateful.

...Li Xin came out of the West Palace and first received official seal clothes and family expenses. 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 he did not care about his weakness just after he came out of the prison, and 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. We are very grateful for the royal family's favor."

After the translation, Li Xin smiled and said, "The envoy sent the best gifts from the Great Food Kingdom, and the court gave back the best things. These are tributes, and officials from all over the country gave the best things 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?" Shuaiman looked very interested.
