Chapter Sixty-Nine: Lord Yang's Scholar Next

The Great Song Dynasty was heavy and early autumn of the first year.

Gao Yaoshi received a note from the Qingyang Port and asked the sea ship to dock near the city of Dengzhou. The sea ships of the Great Song Mission were also behind.

After the two ships docked, someone from the wharf went to report to the governor of Dengzhou. The two boats of people got off the boat to meet, and Ma Zheng saw that there were two more teenagers behind Yang Pu, one was seventeen or eighteen years old, and the other was fifteen or sixteen years old, but they hadn't seen each other, so he asked.

Yang Pu straightened his guttural voice and said, "These two are my scholars. This big one is called Yang Geng, and the small name is Xiao Qi. This little one is called Ah Yi. ”

Ma Zhengqi said: "Why haven't you seen it before?" ”

Yang Yingqi bowed and saluted, and said: "Our master thinks that we are not worthy of learning, so he sent us to Guan Ning School to study, and only went down the mountain a few days ago to listen to the dispatch. ”

Ma Zheng sighed and asked them what books they were reading in the Guanning Academy, Yang Yingqi said that he had read half of the Book of Poetry, and Lin Yi said that he had read half of the Analects, Ma Zheng listened to it and praised: "Not bad, not bad!" If everyone in Dajin could read and learn etiquette like you, the world would be much more peaceful. As he spoke, he took some of their poems and discourses, and Lin Yi answered them fluently, but Yang Yingqi had to think about it before he spoke. Ma Zheng was happy to hear this, and said to Yang Pu: "Lord Yang, you two scholars are very smart, especially this Ah Yi, who is less than sixteen years old to have such mental knowledge, which is rare. ”

Yang Pu coped with it, secretly amused in his heart, and said in his heart: "The seventh general hesitated to answer, most likely thinking about how to answer in line with his identity as a 'scholar'!" ”

The two groups of people were talking and laughing, and they saw the king come out to greet them, and took them into the city to set up a banquet and entertain them. Although Pharmacist Gao had been to Dengzhou, he was very interested and kept silent about the matter.

Zhao Liangsi and Ma Zhengcai have only been away for a few months, and Dengzhou City is quite different from before, which is naturally because the economic vitality of this area has been stimulated by Qingyang Port. However, Zhao Liangsi and Ma Zheng had no time to take care of these seemingly subtle changes in Dengzhou at the moment, and only inquired about the movements of the DPRK and China.

Wang Shizhong said to Ma Zheng: "In addition to sending people to ask whether the mission is returned, the imperial court has not heard of any other major events. However, one of the messengers, Lord Ma happened to recognize it. ”

Ma Zheng asked which adult it was, a young official came out from behind the screen, looked at Ma Zheng and bowed to the ground, Ma Zheng rubbed his eyes, and was surprised: "Kuo'er, why are you!" ”

Yang Yingqi saw that this young man was sturdy, and his appearance was a little imaginary with Ma Zheng, and he said in his heart: "Most of them are father and son. ”

Sure enough, I heard the young official Ma Kuo help Ma Zheng to call his father, and told a few words about what his family missed. Ma Zheng was sad when he heard this, and after a while he came back to his senses and said, "Look at me! The Dajin envoy is here to take care of family affairs, which is really embarrassing! He confessed to Zhao Liangsi and Yang Pu, and asked his son why the court sent him.

Ma Kuo said: "When the imperial court saw that my father had not returned from this trip to sea for a long time, the Privy Council was so anxious that it didn't even send several messengers to hear the news, so they sent their children here. If he can't see Lord Zhao and his father ashore again this time, he will order the child to go to Dajin in the name of looking for relatives. ”

Because there were outsiders, Wang Shizhong and Ma Kuo were not good, so they asked for the details of this mission. Ma Kuo said that the imperial court repeatedly urged them, and Wang Shizhong did not dare to stay with them for a long time, so he sent them on the road on the second day.

In the old case, when foreign envoys entered the country, the guides often took them to wander around in twists and turns, so as not to let foreigners peep through the distance of the Central Plains road, especially when the envoys of the Great Liao entered the Song Dynasty, the officials in charge of the reception of the Great Song Dynasty had to lead them in a big circle, and they went around Hebei for a month or two before arriving at Bianliang. But this time, Emperor Daojun and Tong Guan were all anxious, blindly seeking speed, and even ignoring the laws of the ancestors, they all chose the nearest way! Starting from Dengzhou, all the way through Laizhou, Weizhou, Qingzhou, Zizhou, Qizhou, Yanzhou, Jeju, through Guangdingjun and Xingrenfu, it came to the boundary of Kaifeng Province on Gyeonggi Road.

The Great Song Dynasty was disturbed by Cai Jing's chaotic government for more than ten years, and the people's power was exhausted early. However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the population of the urban market is not comparable to that of southern Liaoning, and the mixed river basin is even more unreachable. Often within dozens of miles, it is a famous city with countless ancient victories. Yang Yingqi traveled all the way, if it weren't for Ma Kuo's urgency, he really wanted to live in every famous city for ten days and a half months.

When the mission arrived in Qizhou, eunuchs had come to give a banquet, and Zhao Lianghei Ma Zheng was ordered to Pegasus to take the first step, and Ma Kuo and others continued to accompany him.

After coming to Kaifeng Mansion, the scene was different, Yang Pu thought that the prosperity of Jinmen was enough to boast, but when he came here, he found that he was simply a hillbilly who had never entered the city! Lin Yi is from Fujian, but even though Quanzhou has rich people who swallow all over the world, where is there a cultural relics that Bianjing will connect the world and cover ancient and modern times?

However, it was Yang Yingqi who was most deeply touched by the vision. As soon as he stepped on this land, he felt a leisurely and elegant warm breeze coming over, it was a glass of mellow wine that had been precipitated for thousands of years, it was a hundred years of peaceful weather, and it was a heartbreaking map of the Qingming River.

Looking at this scene that seemed to be familiar on the painting, Yang Yingqi's tears suddenly rushed down, Yang Pu was shocked, and hurriedly asked him what was wrong.

Yang Yingqi waved his hand and said, "No...... It's okay. I just feel bad. ”

Although Ma Kuo was born in martial arts, he is also a figure who is both civil and military, and he has one more heart than others, and when he saw the scene of Yang Pu and Yang Yingqi answering each other, he said: "I'm afraid that this Yang Xiaoqi's origin is not so simple!" Looking at his conversation along the way, as well as Yang Pu's attitude towards him, he is by no means an ordinary scholar! But he couldn't see what was wrong.

When Yang Pufu entered Beijing, the judges of Kaifeng Prefecture came to reward them, and the officials of Taiwan Province welcomed them to the Duting Station and gave them gold flowers, silver fillers, and brocade bedding. Everything was done according to the reception of the Liao envoys, and the rewards were often more generous.

The provincial official of Taiwan said to Yang Pu: "The Son of Heaven is very eager for your envoy, and he will meet him soon." If there is any need during this period, just say it to the post housekeeper. ”

Yang Pu is a scholar in the northern country, and he responds politely without losing his square inches. Lin Yi endured his temperament, and his eyes couldn't help but wander. Yang Yingqi was a little abnormal, and his eyes were very trance-like.

In the evening, the officials of Taiwan Province held a banquet, and the exquisite and expensive treasures on the table were indescribable, and only one case of clams was a thousand yuan for a chopstick. In addition, the South China Sea Qiongzhi, Donglin tender stamen, snails, fish, shrimp and mussels, mountains and seas are scattered and miscellaneous, and they cannot be fully recognized. Yang Yingqi and Lin Yi stood next to Yang Pu to serve, Lin Yi was born in a maritime tycoon, and he even swallowed saliva when he looked at the table full of food. Yang Pu couldn't sit still when he saw Yang Yingqi standing beside him, so he asked them to sit down and eat.

The Taiwan provincial official of the main banquet sneered in his heart when he saw it: "Barbarians are barbarians, I don't know how to be polite!" ”

On the third day, when Yang Pu met with him, he was given a gold-coated silver crown, a soap-coated felt crown, a number of clothes and shoes, two hundred taels of silverware, and two hundred colored silks. Xu Wenmeng gave the crown and clothing minus one grade, one hundred taels of silverware, two hundred treasures, and one saddle horse. Yang Yingqi and Lin Yi also got a number of brocade jackets, clothes, and silverware, which can be regarded as a small fortune.
