Chapter 506

"Master, they said Allah, what do you mean? " Seeing the reverent and exaggerated Kant, Su Lianqing and others came to ask Wu Meiniang.

Wu Meiniang said in a low voice: "in the state of Kang, all ethnic groups live together, and there are many religions they believe in. In addition to Taoism and Buddhism, there are Manichaeism, Islam and Christianity. Allah is the supreme ruler of the Islamic classic Koran, which is equivalent to Sakyamuni Buddha of Buddhism. As far as I know, in Kang and its surrounding countries, about half of the people believe in Islam, while the royal families of various countries mostly believe in Manichaeism. "

"Isn't Manichaeism the Ming religion?" Su Lianqing blinked and said, "I've heard of that. I've known a few mani believers in the world before. They all play the role of killing people and stealing goods. They believe in abstinence, keeping silent, fasting, and some strange rituals every day. What's their name Pray

"Yes, Manichaeism is what the people of the Tang Dynasty call Mingjiao." Wu Meiniang said, "I asked the Sogdian housekeeper of the Zheng family for advice. They told me that religion originated in Persia, and that it is not as evil as it is said. It's just a religion. Its doctrines are deeply influenced by Buddhism and Christianity. They are also intended to persuade people to do good and save all living beings. It is said that the royal family of Kang has always respected Manichaeism. Once, because of the king's abstinence, there was no queen. The princes who succeeded to the throne had to be selected from the clans. Finally, there was a palace coup. Later, Chinese and believers did not blame the king. On the contrary, they pay great respect to him. "

Su Lianqing and other people have increased their knowledge and broaden their horizons. They all say, "my master is really knowledgeable."

Wu Meiniang gave a cool smile. "There are so many things in the world that we don't know. I have to know more for the sake of convenience. In other words, Su Lianqing, just now you scared those people back. However, it is obvious that there must have been some important changes in Kangguo, which led them to arrest Han merchants. It is estimated that the sergeants will return soon. It is still unknown how they will treat us. To be on the safe side, go to gongyue city in person! "

"Bow moon city?" Su Lianqing's eyes suddenly widened and said in a low voice, "master, are you really ready to ask Su dingfang for help?" It's true that his surname is Su, but he's not a relative of my family. I can't say that I can move him to send troops to save you! "

"Don't talk nonsense!" Wu Meiniang glared at her angrily and funny, and said in a low voice, "general Su is leading 300000 troops to besiege Gongyue City, the capital of Beiting. His victory in a series of battles was so powerful that he did not know how many people in the small countries in the western regions were scared. Kang was also a subsidiary country of Beiting. I want you to go to gongyue city to meet Su dingfang, not to ask him to send troops to save me, but to show his attitude to Kang on behalf of Datang! "

"What attitude? I'm confused! " Su Lianqing was a little worried.

Wu Meiniang slightly twisted her eyebrows and said, "the battle between the Tang Dynasty and Beiting is fierce. A small country like Kang in the western regions must be frightened. They don't know which side will win, so neither side dares to offend, and neither side dares to get too close. After all, Beiting was the local tyrant of the western regions. It was the leader of Qunlun for many years. Comparatively speaking, the Kang Parliament was more afraid of Beiting. Therefore, I guess that Kang's unusual attempt to arrest Han merchants was completely forced by Beiting. As expected, there may be Tutun envoys sent by Beiting in the royal city of Kang now. There is no other way. I can only pretend to be the envoys of the Tang Dynasty for the time being and have a confrontation with the envoys of Beiting! What you have to do is to ask Su dingfang to formally admonish Kang and surrender in the name of Marshal of the western expedition of the Tang Dynasty, and publicly admit my status as an envoy! "

"I see!" Su Lianqing nodded solemnly, "master, you just want to be bluffing and pretending to be powerful, right? What if you can't scare the king of Kang and the envoys of Beiting? "

Wu Meiniang took a deep breath and spat out, "nothing but death!"

"My dear mother, anyone can die, but you can't!" Su Lianqing's face suddenly changed. "If you die in the state of Kang, Qin mubai's big animal will kill thousands of people like crazy and wash the western regions with blood!" That may lead to a more terrible war than the expedition against Tubo! "

"I wish you knew." Wu Meiniang's face was slightly heavy. She gazed at Su Lianqing and said, "go quickly!"

"I'll go at once! ——If that old boy Su dingfang dares to put off half a point, I don't care whether he is Marshal or marshal Fang. I'll cut off his head on the spot! "

"Don't make mistakes!" Wu Meiniang gave Su Lianqing a hand and whispered to her, "Su dingfang and mubai are brothers of the same school. In addition to their intimate relationship, they are promoted by mubai himself. Su dingfang, who can help, will definitely help. Moreover, he is very smart and smart. He knows better than you what to do. All you have to do is deliver the message! "

"Well, I'll go right away! ——Can I borrow some money and buy a Dawan horse that travels thousands of miles a day? "

“……” Wu Meiniang is speechless.

Less than half an hour after su Lianqing left, someone came to the palace of the state of Kang.

Indeed, it is the "please" who is respected and valued very much. The leader is peiyantemi, one of the three ministers in the state of Kang.

The full name of the state of Kang is actually "Kang juguo", and their regime is a bit similar to that of the Tang Dynasty. The difference is that although there are also kings, the power is in the hands of the three ministers. The three ministers in charge of the army, the government and the people respectively. This is a bit like the "three provinces and six departments" of the Tang Dynasty, but the division of labor is not so sound and detailed.Peiyantemi was the minister in charge of "politics and foreign affairs" and also the chief minister of the state of Kang, which showed that the state of Kang attached great importance to the envoys of the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Meiniang straightened out her make-up and put on the elegant Tang Court's rich make-up. She looked at the fairy cloud temples, the gold hairpin, the thin powder on her face, the flower mother of pearl on her forehead, and the flowing clouds were covered with silk and purple jade armbands. Her appearance shocked all the women who followed her all the year round.

"I didn't expect that our master would look so good in the Tang Dynasty's palace clothes. He is very noble and can't be anything else."

"It's more like a princess than a princess, more like a princess than a princess!"

“…… It's like a queen, I say

Peiyantemi and the palace guards of the state of Kang, who came to greet him, were even dumbfounded. They haven't seen beauties, but they are absolutely the only beauties in their life who are so shocking and noble and have no anger!

Wu Meiniang's elaborate dress is obviously to show her status as "envoy of the Tang Dynasty". After all, the Royal ladies' dress is like the official dress of a courtier. Not everyone can wear it casually. She borrowed it from Princess Gaoyang, and she had been prepared for it!

"Have we left yet?" Wu Meiniang came forward and said to Bei Yan temi, who had straight eyes.

"Oh My humble minister is impolite, impolite! I'd like to invite you to set out on your chariot

The soldiers opened the way to the rear. Wu Meiniang sat on the chariot of gold and silver chariot and swaggered to the King City of Kang.

Along the way, Wu Meiniang had no time to worry about the business people who were all over the street and marveled at her. She also had no time to appreciate the palace buildings full of exotic customs. She only thought about how to meet the emissary of Beiting when she entered the palace. How to deal with it?

"Although I came to Kangguo not only to make money, the current situation is somewhat unexpected." Wu Meiniang said in secret, "pretending to be the envoy of the Tang Dynasty is just an expedient measure. I'm not sure if I have a good chance of winning. For today's plan, we can only improvise! ——Mubai, for our future. This time I really gave up! "

Before long, the envoys entered the palace.

The rich state of Kang made the palace magnificent and golden. Although it is not as grand as Chang'an Taiji palace, it is covered with golden silk and brocade everywhere, with dazzling big pearls on its head. Even the pillars of the palace are surrounded by golden clouds. In the words of Kang people, this is the "golden palace"!

It seems that a banquet has been arranged in the hall. It's a bit similar to the separate table diet of the Tang Dynasty. The difference is that behind each table and chair are all kinds of treasures and gourmet utensils, as well as Gongji with a milky white veil. On both sides of the banquet, there are also music tables with all kinds of musical instruments. The most striking one is the vertical Harp (HARP), which has the characteristics of western regions.

Just as Wu Meiniang entered the hall, there was a sudden silence in the hall, and the melodious sound of the konghou stopped. Dozens of people were present. All of them stare at the envoy from the Tang Dynasty. Everyone, without hesitation, wrote the word "amazing" on his face.

Wu Meiniang held her head high and walked into the hall. She said in a loud voice, "Wu Zhao, envoy of the Tang Dynasty, see your majesty!"

I said it, but there was no response.

Wu Meiniang had to repeat it once, and raised her voice: "Wu Zhao, envoy of the Tang Dynasty. See your majesty

The old king hayamano, who was nearly seventy years old, was reminded by his close attendants. He just came back to himself and said, "your envoy is free. Please take your seat!"

The people in the hall just came back one after another and were embarrassed by each other.

Although Wu Meiniang had been in business for several years, she was used to the world, but the scene made him a little nervous. After the forced calm seat, her heart is also beating the drum: next. What should we do?

At this time, the old king hayamano spoke and said in his old voice, "your envoy has come all the way. What can I do for you? Is there a letter from your majesty? "

"If your majesty returns home, there is no national document." This question had been expected by Wu Meiniang, and she replied, "I'm not here for diplomatic affairs. It is an official business specially granted by his majesty to exchange the culture and wealth of the two countries with the opportunity of business, and the purpose is to pass on the friendship and conclude the friendship alliance. On this trip, I see that your country is going to arrest the business travelers of Tang Dynasty, which will undoubtedly greatly damage the friendship between the two countries. My emperor has the intention that in such a situation, any member of the people of Tang Dynasty can stand up to defend dignity and survival, maintain peace and Alliance - not to mention, I am an official and businessman personally granted by your majesty. It's even more obligatory! "

"Oh, so it is..." If hayamano knew something, he would reply and nod slowly, "so you are not the envoy sent to our country by the emperor of Tang Dynasty?"

"It's true." Wu Meiniang replied calmly.

Suddenly, many people in the hall breathed, and immediately there was another noise. Some people are arguing: "it's a fake Messenger, even without a national certificate!"

"What a shame! It turned out to be a liar!"

"Don't listen to her sophistry, arrest her!"

Wu Meiniang's heart was beating in her ears, but she was still calm on the surface.As ordered, the minister, Bei yantemi, stood up and said, "please be calm." then he said to the king, "my king, although Wu is not a special envoy of the Tang Dynasty, it is an indisputable fact that she is an official and businessman of the Tang Dynasty. I have checked the quasi business documents issued to her by the Tang Dynasty, and it is true. What's more, she is the wife of Qin mubai, the protector of Anxi Dadu in the Tang Dynasty. When she came to Kang, we had to be cautious! "

As soon as this remark came out, the whole audience was quiet again.

Wu Meiniang became more and more calm. Looking up at his favorite king hayamano, I saw that he was half lying on the throne, full of crane skin, fat body, white beard all over his belly, and his eyes were turbid. It was obvious that he was in his old age.

On the gold wall behind him, there is a gilded image of the prophet mani. Jin guangcan is eye-catching. On the left side of the imperial wall, there is a life size statue of pure gold standing with a horizontal gun. It's not someone else - it's Qin Shubao!

Wu Meiniang has a plan!

When she got up, she went to peiyantemi. She was not in a hurry to speak. Instead, she saluted the king. Then she moved several steps to the left and knelt down in front of Qin Shubao's statue.

"Wu family, an unfilial daughter-in-law, worshipped her father-in-law..." She said it. It's Sogdian.

This move made king hayamano, who was sitting on the throne, shrug and move, and his ministers were even more shocked!

They all got up one after another and knelt down to pay homage, imitating Wu Meiniang's style. They said, "pay homage to the real God!"

Qin Shubao, I don't know when, has become the patron saint of all merchants on the Silk Road in the western regions!

A businessman. Sogdian businessmen, in particular, have been traveling among countries all the year round. It's common for them to go out for a few years. There's nothing more important than safety when traveling outside. Therefore, it is conceivable that Qin Shubao, the "patron saint" of business travel, had entered the palace of Kang and stood side by side with Mani, the prophet of Manichaeism!

In the eyes of Kang people, this fake "envoy of the Tang Dynasty" is actually the daughter-in-law of Qin Shubao, the patron saint of business travel!

Before she came to the western regions, Wu Meiniang had done her homework. She not only learned about the historical background and language customs of the nine surnames of Zhaowu in the western regions, but also had a deep understanding of their religion. She also understood that religion and belief were far more important than Kingship to the believers and believers in the western regions. Many devout believers even valued their idols and gods more than their own lives Yes!

All the people in Kang are business people. Even though they respect different religions, Qin Shubao, the patron saint of business travel, is the god they all worship! ——This is Wu Meiniang's first discovery after she came to the state of Kang. It is also something that she did not know in other places before.

Wu Meiniang won the bet.

Hayamano, who had been sitting on the throne for many years, sat up straight and looked at her; the ministers who had just clamored to arrest her shut up.

"Please come to the guest hall to have a rest." Hayamano said, "hospitality. I will accompany you personally

"Thank you, your majesty!" Wu Meiniang breathed a sigh. She knew that the king was always old, but not confused. He wants to discuss something with himself in private.

In full view of the public, Wu Meiniang was invited to the guest hall. Hayamano sent more than ten maids to serve her. A moment later, there was a big banquet in the hall, and hayamano was supported by a woman. Come to the dinner in person.

"Please allow Xiao Wang to introduce you. This is my favorite New Moon Princess. She is half Chinese. So I'll invite her to the dinner. I hope you don't mind Said hayamano.

The princess of the new moon seems to believe in Islam, but as a princess, she is very simple. She is dressed in a pure white and wide Muslim gown, which covers her face and only shows a pair of eyes.

But her eyes, which were like meteors, were extremely beautiful even in Wu Meiniang's eyes.

"I've seen Princess crescent." Wu Meiniang said hello in Sogdian.

"You are welcome, Ambassador." The New Moon Princess returned the ceremony, but she spoke fluent Chinese. Her voice was still beautiful and graceful after a layer of light yarn. She said, "my mother is Han Chinese. Although I married Kang juguo, I learned Chinese with her since I was a child. Datang is also my hometown. My mother and I miss Dongtu day and night! "

"Ha ha!" Ha Ya man Nuo Lang said with a smile, "so you should be very happy to see your relatives from the eastern region today? Let's have a drink to the distinguished Tang guests

"Yes, my king." Crescent princess should promise, hand, slowly take down the yarn.

Wu Meiniang was surprised. As far as she knew, women Muslims who believe in Islam nowadays can't take off their veil easily in front of outsiders. Her appearance can only be shown to her husband. If she did so, she would entrust her life and body to a man; if she was a woman or an elder, she would express her supreme respect!

Out of politeness, Wu Meiniang is waiting to refuse, and the new moon princess has taken off her veil.

Next second, Wu Meiniang had never been absent-minded."Demon son?" Two words, can't help speaking out of her mouth. As like as two peas, the

, who has taken the veil, is exactly the same as the demon!
