    On the third day of the first lunar month, in the Wende Hall of the Bianliang Imperial City of the Song Dynasty, the ministers of the DPRK and the emperor of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong, congratulated the world on the Spring Festival together, and received He Dan envoys from all over the world.

    Prime Minister Cai You was the first to go out and said: "The envoys from the vassal towns and other states admired the power of the Song Dynasty and came to congratulate us, especially the Kingdom of Koryo. They have been unable to come to pay tribute for many years. Now the weather in our country is going smoothly, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the Kingdom of Koryo  He actually complied with God¡¯s will and sent me to make friends with him.¡±

    Song Huizong nodded repeatedly. Cai You was even better at flattering than his father Cai Jing. In order to make the emperor happy, he once even learned to act like a clown, just to make the emperor laugh. At this time, he saw the emperor nodding and immediately continued: "  The gift prepared by the Kingdom of Korea is the heaviest among all the envoys from all states. Not only are there various rare treasures, but also two princesses of the Kingdom of Korea are sent to serve the officials to show the sincerity of the Lord of Korea."

    Song Huizong¡¯s eyes not only lit up, but also asked, ¡°Is she really the Princess of Korea?¡±

    Cai You said: "According to my investigation, she is really the daughter of the King of Korea. There is no falsehood. Here is the gift list." Someone presented the gift list from the Kingdom of Korea to Song Huizong's dragon case. Song Huizong opened it and looked at it slowly. Cai You lost no time in  He shouted loudly: "It is reported that the envoy from the Kingdom of Korea has come to see you."

    The Korean envoy was brought in by the Huangmen eunuch. Song Huizong was immediately attracted by the two slim and beautiful women. The two women were not only good-looking, but what was even more rare was that they looked exactly the same and were twin sisters.

    Cai You glanced at Song Huizong's expression and already knew that the gift given by the King of Goryeo was right. In fact, Song Huizong was not a womanizer. Although the princess sent by Goryeo was beautiful, she was far worse than Li Shishi and others.  , not to mention that Song Huizong had many beauties. The special thing about these sisters, and the only thing that interested Song Huizong, was that they were princesses. If other countries even send princesses for pilgrimage, it would be a supreme honor and sincerity.  .

    As for whether the identity of the princess is true or false, it is no longer important, as long as the envoy from Korea says so.

    The Koryo envoy bowed respectfully, and Song Huizong nodded. The Koryo envoy was a bearded man, and he loudly said: "I am here to pay homage to the Holy Lord on the order of the Lord of the Kingdom, to congratulate heaven and earth together, and to restore old friendships. Please, the Lord of the Kingdom."  I beg for three things and ask the Holy Lord for your blessing."

    Cai You asked: "What does the Lord of Goryeo ask for?"

    The envoy from Goryeo said: "First, our Lord asks the Heavenly Kingdom to send envoys to exchange documents so that we can live well with each other forever."

    Song Huizong nodded and said: "Yes."

    The envoy from Korea thanked him again, and then said: "Secondly, our Lord has heard for a long time that there is an immortal master in the heaven who has attained the Dao. He admires him greatly. Please ask the Holy Lord to entrust the immortal master to come to Korea to teach scriptures and teach the Dharma, so that he can spread the Dao."

    Song Huizong pondered for a moment and said to the Xiaohuangmen on the left and right: "This is correct, go and ask Master Suxin to come."

    The little yellow gate was busy. After a while, an old Taoist with gray hair and boyish face came forward with square steps. He saluted Song Huizong and stood beside him. Song Huizong said to him: "Today the Lord of the Kingdom of Goryeo sent  When the envoys come, they have heard about the immortal master for a long time and want to invite the immortal master to travel eastward. I wonder what the immortal master wants?"

    Before Master Su Xin could speak, the Korean envoy had already said, "It's just that the person our Lord wants to invite is not this immortal master, but someone else."

    Although these words were very rude, they were enough to arouse Song Huizong's curiosity. He turned to the Koryo envoy and said, "Which immortal master does the Goryeo Kingdom want to invite?"

    The Korean envoy remained silent. Taoist Master Su Xin stepped forward and said, "Master Dao, do you still remember the secret chamber that was pardoned by our Taoist priests last month?"

    Song Huizong called him Taojun Emperor, but the old Taoist actually called him by his title, but Song Huizong didn't care at all. He nodded and said: "This secret chamber has been sealed in Wude Hall according to the Taoist leader's words, and is heavily guarded day and night. No one is allowed to  near."

    Priest Su Xin said: "The auspicious time has come, please get it quickly."

    Song Huizong glanced at the chief steward beside him. Immediately, the Huangmen eunuch arrived at the Wude Hall and respectfully welcomed a small yellow cloth secret case. Taoist Su Xin first saluted and then carefully opened the secret case.  He took out a letter from the cabinet.

    He carefully placed the manuscript on Song Huizong¡¯s desk and said, ¡°Master Dao, please read it.¡±

    Song Huizong slowly found the handwritten letter and was suddenly surprised. He said, "The Taoist Master is really a god." Everyone was puzzled. Song Huizong sent people to circulate the handwritten letter and the etiquette from the Korean envoy to all the officials.  After reading it, they couldn't help but be surprised. It turned out that the content written on the note, which had been sealed for more than a month, was exactly the same as the gift note.

    Taoist Master Su Xin said: "The manuscript in this secret cabinet is actually not left by this Taoist, but written by my junior brother Guo Jingxian."

    The envoy from Goryeo said at this time: "The Taoist priest that our Lord seeks is none other than Master Guo. I am begging for the Holy Lord's permission."

    Song Huizong told Su Xin:"When did the Taoist Priest have a junior disciple? How come I have never heard the Taoist Priest mention it?"

    Taoist Master Su Xin said: "Junior brother Guo Jing of our Taoism started eighty years late, but he has been under the teachings of his mentor, Patriarch Chen Tuan. His Taoism is even more advanced than our Taoism. However, he practices in the market and hides among the people. He is  Very few people know about it.¡±

    As soon as Song Huizong heard that there was such a profound way, he immediately sent someone to invite him. However, Cai You asked the Korean envoy: "I wonder what your third invitation is?"

    The envoy of Goryeo bowed and said: "The third request is simpler. Our Lord has heard that the Heavenly Kingdom has excellent shipbuilding skills, and we also ask that the Lord send 500 skilled craftsmen to teach shipbuilding in our country along with the envoys of the Song Dynasty.  skills."

    This request was too easy for Song Huizong. Before he could say the word "accurate", two voices in the hall shouted at the same time: "No."

    Song Huizong and his courtiers turned around and saw that the two people shouting were Qin Hui, the censor, and the Japanese envoy.

    The Japanese envoy seemed to be anxious, and rushed over and said: "The Holy Lord must not agree to Goryeo's request. Now the Kingdom of Jin has sent troops to Goryeo, and the Goryeo Kingdom has become a vassal of the Goryeo Kingdom. The Goryeo Kingdom wants to go to war with Japan through Goryeo, but it has no warships."  , Japan and the Heavenly Kingdom have been on good terms for hundreds of years, and I come to congratulate you every year. The Heavenly Kingdom cannot abandon its good neighbors and support evil countries."

    The Korean envoy also said anxiously: "Sage, don't listen to the nonsense of the Japanese envoy. Our country only builds ships and goes to sea to transport tributes from the heaven. Our king and the princess have come to Bianliang to show their sincerity. How can Japan be sincere and say it is a good neighbor?"  ?¡±

    Song Huizong was speechless, and Cai You didn't know who was right or wrong. He turned to Qin Hui, who had just shouted no, and said, "Qin Huizhi also said no, what's the reason?"

    Qin Hui came out of the class and said: "The navy is the foundation of the country, and it can advance and retreat appropriately. Strong ships are unique to our dynasty, how can it be easily passed on to foreign countries?"

    After hearing this, Cai You laughed and said: "The Song Dynasty did not rely on the navy. Which country in the world can't build ships? Qin Zhongcheng is too worried." He ignored Qin Hui again and turned to Song Huizong and said: "Please give me the official permission to beg Korea."  .¡±

    Song Huizong did not agree immediately. The Japanese envoy came forward and said: "In addition to the usual tribute, our Lord also has other rituals that are different from previous years."

    Cai You became interested and said, "Please submit it quickly."

    The Japanese envoy said: "This thing is a sharp weapon, I dare not present it." Cai You said: "It is a gift, so what's the problem?"

    The Japanese envoy then ordered his entourage to go to the post house to get a sharp weapon and solemnly presented it to the main hall. It turned out that the Japanese envoy brought a slender sword.

    Cai You looked at it and said disdainfully: "What's so strange about this knife?"

    The Japanese envoy said: "This knife is sharp and can break its edge. It will last for a long time without becoming dull."

    Cai You said with a smile: "What's so surprising about this? I don't believe it. I have a knife, do you dare to try it?" He asked the guards outside the palace to go back and get a scimitar, and asked the Japanese envoy  Said: "Compare it with my knife to see if you can cut it."

    The Japanese envoy was confused: "I'm afraid I might damage Xianggong Cai's treasured sword." Cai You said, "It doesn't matter, just try it with him. I won't blame you if he loses it." After saying that, he called a guard over and held his sword.  The scimitar wants to stand.

    In order to show the sharpness of the sword he brought, the Japanese envoy had the courage to try Cai You's scimitar. The guard swung his sword and collided with each other. There was a "ding" sound, the two swords collided, and the Japanese envoy's sword fell to the ground. Cai You  The scimitar head is intact.

    Cai You laughed loudly and said: "How dare you call such a broken knife sharp? It's too much to deceive me into a country without a knife." The Japanese envoy lowered his head and was speechless for a long time.

    What the Japanese envoys didn¡¯t know was that Cai You¡¯s scimitar came from Persia and was not from China.

    Not long after, when Guo Jing strode up to the Wende Hall in Bianliang Imperial City, Kaifeng, his life reached a new peak.

    He was no longer a rogue Taoist wandering the streets of Kaifeng Prefecture, but from then on he became a guest of Song Huizong's "lecturing and preaching".

    Among the scoundrels and idlers in Bianliang City, Tokyo, Guo Jing, like Gao Taiwei, has become another myth circulating in the streets.

    The Goryeo envoy invited him to visit Goryeo, but when he arrived in Youzhou, Guo Jing transferred to Huining Mansion in Shangjing. In Huining Mansion, he met the four princes of the Jin Kingdom, whose Han name was Wanyan Zongbi and the Jurchen name was Wanyan Wushu.  , the official Wang with a silver eagle on his ring.

    Wanyan Zongbi looked at Guo Jing coldly and said: "Do you know that you talked nonsense and almost ruined the big thing? The Goryeo Kingdom searched all over the country to find the two women you wrote about, and wanted to send them to the Song Dynasty. For this reason,  Killed a woman¡¯s husband.¡±

    Seeing Wanyan Zongbi's cold eyes, Guo Jing felt fearful in his heart and was about to break out in cold sweat. Wanyan Zongbi said again: "Go back quickly in a few days. Remember, I can make you soar into the sky, and I can also  Let you die without a burial place.?¡±

    Guo Jing hurriedly knelt down and said: "Guo San will never dare to disobey the Fourth Prince's trust. Whatever the prince wants Guo San to do, Guo San will do it, even to death."

    Wanyan Zongbi laughed and said: "I want you to help me win the Song Dynasty." Guo Jing's face was ashen, but he did not dare to say a word.

    At this time, in Bianliang City of the Song Dynasty, Fang Jinshi went to Prince Yun's Mansion to say goodbye to Prince Yun. Zhao Kai said: "When you go to the south of the Yangtze River, don't want to buy or sell by force, let alone say that it belongs to Prince Yun's Mansion and Prince Consort's Mansion. If there is any violation,  , I¡¯m asking you.¡±

    Fang Jinshi smiled and said, "I have my own sense of propriety, and I will never dare to ruin the reputation of my third brother."
