    ,

    Hangzhou has a Ministry of Rites, which is subordinate to the Ministry of Rites and is mainly responsible for the reception of foreign envoys.

    In fact, almost all external ports in the Northern Song Dynasty had Ritual Departments, but the scales were not the same.

    At this time, Huang An from the Ministry of Rites is very troubled.  It stands to reason that he, the 'Ministry of Rites', should not take over the real national tribute, but since the other party has come, let's accept it.

    But the problem is, why did Su Shi, a fat man, come here to join in the fun.

    It even said that the two envoys may be liars.

    It stands to reason that the local governor should not be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, but the problem is that now there is a shortage of people in the court, and the other party is "favored" by the grand dukes of the court. When it was released to Hangzhou, the appointment book of Zhongshumen wrote:  All affairs in Hangzhou, regardless of state affairs or military strategy, have the right to supervise.

    This is outrageous.

    That is to say, the Ministry of Rites in Hangzhou is an independent institution on the surface, but it is actually under the jurisdiction of this little fat man.

    He said that the two envoys might be counterfeit, and Huang An had to check it carefully.

    I went through the documents of the two missions again and again, and then checked the extracted 'tribute', and found nothing inappropriate.

    The little official next to him said undisturbed: "My Great Song Dynasty was at its peak, and all nations came to court. It doesn't matter if such a good thing is true or not, this Su Junshou is too out-of-the-ordinary."

    Huang An also thought it was true, he looked at the documents of the next two envoys, and said: "I can't tell it's fake, this Su Junshou is still too young, and he is eager to show things, so let's find a way to delay this matter first."  Procrastinate, wait for me to write a letter to Ming Shangshu, beat him hard."

    In fact, Huang An is not too old. This is also the first time he has encountered a foreign envoy. He can't tell whether the documents are genuine or not, but he just doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of his subordinates.

    "Mr. Huang has a good opinion." The little official gave a thumbs up beside him.

    But at this moment, a voice came from outside the door.

    "It turns out that Mr. Huang treats me that way." Su Shi walked in, his chubby face was full of smiles: "I think Mr. Huang must be prudent and prudent, so it's better to take the mission of the envoy on his shoulders."  Bar."

    Huang Lang was a little embarrassed in his heart, but he didn't show any shame on his face. Instead, he smiled lightly and said: "Just now Junshou Su listened to what I said outside, and suddenly made such an evaluation of being an official?"

    Huang An is a well-connected person in the court, otherwise he would not have come to stay with the Department of Rites in Hangzhou at a young age.

    The Ministry of Rites in the capital has always been the Qingshui Yamen, but the Rites Departments in several seaports are responsible for receiving foreign guests. Usually, they do not open for three years, and open for ten years.

    Although it is not comparable to the oil and water of the Ministry of Households, in the Ministry of Rites, it is regarded as a fat poor.

    Of course, he was also "trained" in the capital for several years, and after being smooth and transparent, he was sent to Hangzhou by a foreigner.

    Therefore, the management of this expression is excellent, even if someone overhears the words, there is no trace of timidity on his face.

    Su Shi looked at Huang An with some admiration, and then said with a smile: "Just now I heard that Huang Langzhong seemed to report to Yan Shangshu about the envoys?"

    "This is natural." Huang An nodded: "The matter of Fanbang is considered important, and it should be handled by Yan Shangshu."

    Su Shi smiled and said: "This is a due courtesy."

    Huang An looked at Su Shi a little strangely, he was about to sue, but the other party was going to persuade him instead?

    The relationship between North Korea and China?

    But without waiting for Huang An to develop arrogance, Su Shi continued: "However, the capital is far away from Hangzhou. Even if you take the canal waterway, it will take several days. Instead of helping Yan Shangshu, it is better to ask the local nobles for help."

    Huang An was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Who is it?"

    In his mind, in terms of position, he should be the highest position in Hangzhou, but Su Shi has the highest real power.

    Besides the two of them, who else has a higher position in Hangzhou?

    Xiangyang Palace?

    Just a joke, now the king of Xiangyang is being interrogated by the Zuo Temple in Dali, and it is estimated that he will not be able to get out for a year or so.

    Hehe, suspected treason, even the prince, is enough.

    So Huang An can't think of it for the time being, who else in Hangzhou City can really be a person in the Ministry of Rites?

    Looking at the puzzled expression of the place, Su Shi pointed to the sky outside the window, where the golden solar ship hung high.

    "Huang Langzhong, don't forget, this Hangzhou is not only the territory of King Xiangyang, but also the dojo of Master Lu." He took two steps closer, and his protruding belly almost bumped into him: "Why?Fortunately for the people, there is no difference between the clothes worn by the people of the Northern Song Dynasty.

    It's just the shape of the face, which is a bit different from that of the people from the Central Plains. Coupled with the difference in temperament, it can be seen at a glance that the other party is from overseas.

    Actually, these are four people!

    The skin was yellow and black, and when they saw Su Shi, they all subconsciously nodded and bowed, even if they were the leader, they didn't dare to speak.

    "The document of Jiluo Kingdom seems a bit strange." Su Shi pointed to the document itself on the table: "This paper does not seem to be very good."

    "Jiluo Kingdom is a small country, so it is naturally not as rich as the Kingdom of Heaven." The leading short black man nodded and bowed, his tone in the Northern Song Dynasty was very strange, but he could barely understand it: "But our yearning and enthusiasm for a civilized country is  Unquestionable."

    "Your lord is called Emperor Weichai?" Su Shi looked at the Chinese characters like chicken feet on the document, thought for a moment, and asked, "So in your country, do you have a distinction between internal affairs and military power?"

    The short black envoy was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little nervous: "This nobleman from the upper kingdom, I don't quite understand what you are talking about?"

    "Then your envoys came here with gifts, what is your request? Just to meet the officials?"

    "Just to meet the officials!" The short black man secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

    "Your chief envoy, is this position considered high and powerful?"

    The short black man smiled and said, "Of course it's okay, otherwise I wouldn't dare to come to Shangguo."

    "What is the military strength and population of Jiluo Kingdom?"

    "Huh?" The short black man tried his best to think back, and said, "About ten thousand people."

    Hearing this, Su Shi chuckled.

    And Huang An, who was standing aside, also had a strange expression.

    Su Shi put away the other party's mission documents, and then said: "You go back to the Ministry of Rites and wait. We will contact you in a few days to discuss the matter of meeting the officials."

    "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir."

    The little black man went away gratefully.

    Then Su Shi looked at Huang An with a smug expression.

    But Huang An didn't dare to look at him.

    Later, Su Shi talked with these Koreans and found that this was indeed a real mission.

    And Huang An breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, not all the envoys were liars, otherwise Su Shi would report this matter to him, and he would definitely lose his job.

    It's just that Su Shi was a little strange: "Since you Goryeo are coming to meet the officials, why don't you go ashore directly near Songjiang, but take a long way to Hangzhou."

    The Koryo envoy bowed and said: "Our lord heard that there are real immortals appearing in Hangzhou, so he specially asked us to bring a hundred virgins and virgins each to sacrifice to Zhenren Lu, but we can get a bottle of medicine that can cure a hundred bottles.  Elixir."

    Su Shi understood.

    It turns out that these Korean tributes were fake, but they actually came to ask for medicine for their country.

    He subconsciously went back to look, and found that Lu Sen was drinking tea quietly on the cloud platform,

    Then he said to the Korean envoy: "Go back, although Master Lu is indeed haunting Hangzhou, he usually doesn't see people."

    "Then I'll wait here until I die, until Master Lu is willing to see us."

    After finishing speaking, the Korean envoy clasped his fists and saluted, then left.

    Bitian Pavilion suddenly became quiet.

    When Lu Sen came down from the platform, Huang An didn't dare to raise his head when he heard the footsteps, but subconsciously took two steps back.

    Su Shi took the initiative to meet him and asked, "Really Lu, how do you deal with this matter?"

    "The so-called envoys are obviously fake. There is a chain of profit transmission behind it. It may be a collusion between the inside and outside. You may get something if you continue to investigate, Governor Su," Lu Sen said helplessly.  He shook his head and said, "As for the Koreans, just leave them alone."

    "They came all the way to ask for medicine, but Master Lu won't give them some?"

    "If you ask for it, you have to give it?" Lu Sen laughed: "Song people don't have enough fruit for me, so why should I give it to outsiders. What's more, they brought virgin boys and girls Governor Su, you have to deal with this matter."  Take care. I remember that in the laws of the Song Dynasty, it is clearly stated that only animals are allowed to be sacrificed, and humans are not allowed."

    At this time, Huang An suddenly said from the side: "Can the Koreans be counted as human beings?"

    Lu Sen looked at him for a while, and said, "The Korean people admire my Central Plains culture, and they don't have a direct conflict of interest with my Song Dynasty. I don't have to give them things, but this human sacrifice is really crazy.  "

    Su Shi nodded to express his understanding.  Lu Sen wanted to arrest the Koreans and rescue the boys and girls.

    Although Huang An was very afraid of Lu Sen, he suddenly cupped his fists and said, "Really please think again, this is a major issue between the two countries, and punishment should not be taken lightly."

    I don't blame him for this, if this matter is really brought to the capital, no matter what the human sacrifice is, it is irrefutable that he, Huang An, was deceived by the Fanren when he was unidentified, and then he will definitely have a pen in the hearts of all the court princes.  bad debts.

    How can he be a 'good' official if he can't even see through the sub-plans of other people.bsp; Although Huang An was very afraid of Lu Sen, he suddenly cupped his fists and said, "Really please think again, this is a major issue between the two countries, and punishment should not be taken lightly."
