Chen Weiyue was naturally born in the Han Dynasty.

But he has now naturalized in Japan and has obtained an official position given by the Emperor.

In addition, the negotiation envoy designated by Emperor Kanmu is the five left-ranking Nakanori Fujiwara Nakanaga.

The negotiation location was set in the hexagonal tower on the left side of the Suzaku Gate of Namba Palace. Namba Palace was originally the "Xinjing" built by the Emperor's Camp, but later it was abolished for various reasons, leaving a group of buildings, usually as a place to receive tribute envoys.

“The gift given by Duke Wei to the King of Yamabu can be directly displayed in this palace and then transferred to Heianjing by himself;

Tang ships cannot cross Yodochi, otherwise they will be regarded as an invasion of Japan;

The Tang ship must set sail within three days to return, and there is no room for staying along the road."

In the shade curtains under the hexagonal tower, the conditions proposed by Fujiwara Nakazuki were translated into Chinese by the side of Kiyomikai Weiyu, who was sitting next to him, which shows that the Japanese side's attitude is very tough.

At this moment, Gao Yue's envoy Zhang Xi saw Qinghai Weiyue, and suddenly questioned him in Chinese, "Are you Zhe Chong from Puyang Prefecture, former Yuezhou, Chen Weiyue?"

Qinghai Weiyue immediately did not dare to take into account his official status from five subordinates in Japan. He knelt down to Zhang Xi like a subordinate official, prostrated himself on the ground, and said that it was exactly the same.

"Decent!" Fujiwara Nakanaga was very sad and shouted to Wei Yue.

"How can we naturalize Japan?" Zhang Xi refused to hear that and continued to scold Wei Yue.

Wei Yue leaned down and replied:

Thirty-eight years ago, that is, the second year of Qianyuan in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Suzong was still in power. A Japanese ship carrying 99 people traveled to the Tang Dynasty through the wind and waves, first arrived at the port of the Bohai Kingdom, and was preparing to send Tang envoys to the Tang land with the Bohai Sea, with the purpose of welcoming a Tang Dynasty official named "Heqing" back to Japan.

In fact, this person named "Heqing", whose original name was Fujiwara Kiyoka. He was the last ambassador to send Tang Dynasty. His purpose was to welcome a person named "Chao Heng" to return to the sun.

Chao Heng was the famous Abe Zhongmalu. At that time, this man had lived in the Tang Dynasty for 35 years and served as a senior official in the Tang Dynasty.

Fujiwara Kiyoshi arrived safely in Chang'an City and participated in the visit of Emperor Xuanzong. He set sail from Yangzhou with Chao Heng and prepared to go back to Japan. As a result, a local monk named Jianzhen in Yangzhou also wanted to take a boat to Japan. Fujiwara Kiyoshi refused Jianzhen's request, but his deputy envoy, Yoshimaru, secretly hid Jianzhen on the second ship.

As a result, the first ship that Fujiwara Kiyoshi and Chao Heng rode hit the reef. After that, they encountered a headwind and actually drifted to Huanzhou, Annan. Except for Fujiwara Kiyoshi and Chao Heng, the rest of the crew were killed by local barbarians. The other three ships, including the second ship carrying Monk Jianzhen, all arrived in Japan safely.

Finally, Fujiwara Kiyoshi and Chao Heng returned to Chang'an helplessly. Qinghe himself simply stayed in Tang State as an official and even gave the Chinese name "Heqing" (as for Chao Heng died in Tang, he reached a high position in the secretary's prison during his lifetime).

However, the Japanese side did not give up on Kiyowara Fujiwara, so in the second year of Qianyuan, he used Gao Yuandu (he was a descendant of Goguryeo who was naturalized in Japan) as an envoy, hoping to bring Kiyowara Fujiwara back.

As a result, in Bohai Kingdom, Gao Yuandu heard that there was a civil strife in the Tang family, so he asked the judge Naito Quancheng to return to Japan with 88 people, and he and the other ten people continued to go to Tang Kingdom. Finally, he finally met Emperor Suzong and Kiyoshi Fujiwara Kiyoke.

But at this time, the Tang Dynasty quit and told Gao Yuandu that wars were being fought all over the country, and Heqing was released back to China. The road was very dangerous, so Heqing could not be allowed to follow you.

The real purpose of the Tang Dynasty was to use Heqing as a "hostage" and demand that Japan contribute weapons to the needs of rebels to fight, especially the ox horns that could be used to make bows: so Gao Yuandu had to go to Suzhou. At that time, the governor of Suzhou, Li Wu, built an eight-meter-long sea ship for him, and asked the commander of Zhechong, Shen Weiyue, of Puyang, to lead nine sailors to escort Gao Yuandu back to Japan.

After Gao Yuandu and Shen Weiyue arrived at the Dazaifu in Japan, Japan immediately collected 7,800 cattle horns from various trajectories and sent them to the Tang Dynasty by boat to support the Tang Dynasty's anti-rebellion war.

But the following year, Wang Xinfu, the envoy of the Bohai Kingdom, came to Japan, and he told the Japanese government:

"Now, the two emperors of Xuanzong and Suzong of Li Tang have passed away. King Guangping (Li Yu) succeeded to the throne, the grains are deserted and the people eat each other. Although An Lushan, who resolutely resisted Li Tang, died, Shi Chaoyi of the Shi family ascended the throne and became Emperor Shengwu, and the people all depended on him. Emperor Shengwu's army was extremely powerful, and both Xiangyang and Dengzhou of Li Tang were captured by him. Now the territory retained by the Li family is only Suzhou (????), and it will be very difficult to pay tribute in the future."

No matter what purpose Wang Xinfu made up these words, Japan believed them and no longer sent envoys to send Tang for a long time since then.

Chen Weiyue had to stay in Japan, and eventually became five officials, and took the salary of the Emperor. Seventeen years later, Japan used Ono Ishigen as the envoy to send Tang Dynasty. When he arrived in Chang'an, he learned that Fujiwara Kiyoshi had died in Tang territory, leaving only a daughter named Xiniang, who was born to a Tang woman. So Ono Ishigen had to take Xiniang back to Japan... (On the way, Ono Ishigen and his companion Tang envoy Zhao Baoying died in a hurricane, but Xiniang safely drifted to the Amakoshi County, Feiqian)

"I don't know what happened to the Tang Kingdom now?" At the end of the day, Qinghai Weiyue was crying and begging Zhang Xi to tell him about the situation in his hometown.

Zhang Xi's tone then eased: "The Yan thief has long been quelled, and several subordinates of Shi Chaoyi have also obeyed Chang'an. The court set up the "Huaihai Xingzhongshu Province" in Huainan and Huainxi, and Gao Wei Duke was the prime minister and knew the affairs of the Zhongshu Province. I was under his command to control the navy and ships. As for your hometown Yuezhou, it has now been incorporated into the Jiangdong Xingzhongshu Province."

"Jiangdong travels to the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat? Don't know where the Huifu is?"

"Shangyuan Jinling."

"Jinling is Xuanshe land, how can we control my Yuezhou?" Although Qinghai Weiyue has been away from the country for more than 30 years, she is still indignant.

Zhang Xi said that this point will not be discussed for the time being. Gao Wei Duke sent us to Japan this time just to hope to engage in friendly trade with Japan, but this Fujiwara Nakazuna was reluctant to do so. I don’t know what it means?

"Tang and I have also connected to the sea route of Silla and Furu!" Zhang Baogao next to him said to Qinghai Weiyue.

So Kiyoshi Weiyue suddenly had an uneasy expression, and turned around to repeat the story of Fujiwara Nakazuna on the seat.

Fujiwara Nakazunaga's anger became even more obvious, and he said, "Quickly put out the gifts from Duke of Wei, and then ask you to return home. You must never bring the filthy disease into the Jianli Sect."

The so-called "foul air" is the smallpox, flu and other diseases flowing in from the mainland or the Korean Peninsula. When the Japanese Emperor met with the Bohai and Silla envoys, he allowed the envoys to enter the Jianli Gate inside the palace, but it caused plagues many times in the capital. Many royal families and ministers were infected, so the Japanese court was very sensitive to "foul air". Now it is also an excuse to refuse the Tang ship mission to enter Heian Kyo.

The first negotiations ended unhappily, and the two sides exchanged views frankly, but no constructive results were reached.
