This Confucian who "coincidentally" lived next door to the Great Song Dynasty's secret envoy, and explained the legal and political systems of Jinmen and southern Liaoning to Ma Zheng one by one, and greatly exaggerated Zhe Yanchong's power in the Jin State.

Ma Zheng listened to it and said: "This general is not only in charge of government affairs, but also in charge of military affairs, and he also splits the soil and seals the marquis, so he thinks he is a powerful minister of the Jin State." If you can see him, you will probably be able to convey the will of my Lord! At that moment, I asked this Confucian student how to meet the general.

At this time, Ma Zheng had not revealed his identity as a secret envoy, and only said that he had come to Tianjin to buy horses, so the Confucian was "surprised" when he heard it: "Mr. Ma, you are a businessman who wants to see Lord Dutong, how can it be so easy!" ”

Ma Zheng hesitated for a long time before he said: "I can't hide it, I'm not an ordinary businessman, I'm actually a secret envoy of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

The Confucian student was even more "frightened", opened his mouth wide and couldn't close it, and said after a long time: "It turned out to be the messenger of the Great Song Dynasty, disrespectful and disrespectful." However, since Master Ma is an envoy of the kingdom, why didn't he go to the official post house and live in the inn? ”

Ma Zheng sighed: "I came from the Great Song Dynasty, and I don't know about Dajin's state affairs, I'm afraid that Dajin is a barbaric state that doesn't understand etiquette, and I don't know what yamen your country has, so I don't dare to make a mistake." ”

The Confucian nodded and said, "I see." Master Ma is an envoy of the kingdom, and the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty visited for the first time, and he wanted to report it to the local officials layer by layer. Now that the Jinmen is in charge of the affairs of the Fuzhou Thorn Shilu, if Lord Ma can trust me, how about I submit a letter tomorrow? ”

Ma Zheng was overjoyed and said: "Very good! Very good! He also asked about the official rank of Lord Shilu in Fuzhou and the etiquette of meeting the officials of the Jin State.

The Confucian said: "Our Dajin officials use ancient names, such as the county order of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the county and state of your Great Song Kingdom. Our Dajin etiquette is not much different from that of the Great Song Dynasty, but it is more brief. ”

On the second day, Ma Zheng put on his official uniform, and the Confucian student submitted a letter on his behalf, and Lu Kezhong immediately received him. asked Ma Zheng about his rank in the Great Song Dynasty, and the two met with official courtesy.

Lu Kezhong said: "The Great Song Dynasty and Dajin have never had any dealings, Master Ma suddenly came to make an envoy, and the incident happened suddenly, for the sake of prudence, please show the national certificate to explain the official's doubts." ”

Ma Zheng showed the edict of the city, and Lu Kezhong looked at it and said: "The seal is not like a fake, but the two countries ask each other, why use the edict!" ”

Ma Zhengdao: "The Great Song Dynasty is the suzerain of all countries, what's wrong with issuing an edict?" ”

Lu Kezhong sneered: "Sect Master of All Nations, but I don't know how Biliao is? ”

Ma Zhengdao: "According to the alliance of Lanyuan, it is Brother Song and Brother Liao!" ”

Lu Kezhong snorted and said, "Then may I ask whether the Great Song Dynasty used an edict or a national letter for the Great Liao?" ”

Ma Zhengdao: "National Letter." ”

Lu Kezhong said angrily: "Da Liao is no match for my Dajin, it is a matter known to the whole world!" Now your country uses the national letter for Daliao, but uses the edict for my Dajin, but where is your country placed? ”

Ma Zheng was speechless for a while, and the Confucian student who came to answer him helped: "Parents, the Great Song Dynasty and Dajin are separated from the Liao Kingdom, and they don't know each other. This matter is related to the negotiations between the two countries, and it is good to ask your parents to be tactful on your behalf. ”

Hearing this, Lu Kezhong's expression was a little pale, and he said to Ma Zheng: "Your official is rude and insulting to our country, and he should be expelled." Reading is that they can't communicate with each other, and they can't be deeply responsible. This official is just a state assassin, and he doesn't dare to judge such a major matter by himself, so I will tell Shangguan and meet him again another day. ”

He ordered someone to take Ma Zheng to the post house to rest first, and Ma Zheng did not dare to disobey in the guest place, so he came out with the officials. After leaving the yamen, the Confucian said goodbye to Ma Zheng, who was very grateful and wanted to give him some silk, but he did not accept it.

Originally, the Fuzhou Prefecture was very simple, but a few months ago, Yang Yingqi suddenly remembered that this was the façade of Jinmen, and hurriedly sent someone to repair it. This post house was also built because it was necessary to receive the envoys of the Song Kingdom. Compared with these two places, Yang Yingqi's own office is much simpler.

After Ma Zheng lived in the post house, it was difficult to communicate with the outside world, and he had no freedom compared to before. Jinmen was unfamiliar with the place, and he didn't dare to go out without permission. Fortunately, the gatekeepers and servants are very polite, and they have all the necessities of life. Seeing that the Spring Festival is getting closer and closer, if I hadn't taken this errand, most of them would have been enjoying themselves at home at this moment.

It took half a month to ask for help, and the place of meeting was still the state office, but this time Lu Kezhong was sitting in a partial position, and there was a person sitting on the upper seat, and the official uniform was much larger than Lu Kezhong. The Han Department has not had the habit of wearing official uniforms since Yang Yingqi, and this time it was to meet Ma Zheng that the official uniforms of the Han Department of the Great Liao were moved over.

Lu Kezhong and Ma Zheng saluted, introduced the official and said, "This is Lord Yang Zhenpu, the deputy transfer envoy of southern Liaoning. ”

The responsibilities of the administrative system in southern Liaoning are clear, but the official names are quite confusing for a while. Yang Pu is Yang Yingqi's arm, and Zhi Yanchong gave him the title of a deputy envoy for transport, Ah Guda and Wu Qimai don't know these false texts, so they don't want to think about it.

This deputy envoy is a big official, and Yang Pu used this to supervise Chen and open the government affairs of the two states. This official rank is both Liao and Song, so Ma Zheng knew how big Yang Pu was when he heard it. It's just that he regarded himself as an envoy of the above countries, and only treated Yang Pu with a peaceful courtesy, and Yang Pu was not surprised, and asked about the recent political affairs of the Great Song Dynasty first. Ma Zheng concealed the evil and promoted the good, and praised the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. Yang Pu knew a lot about the Great Song Dynasty, and sneered in his heart, but he didn't break it in his mouth.

After the greetings, Ma Zheng took out the edict, but Yang Pu didn't accept it, saying: "This book is not in line with etiquette, this official can't accept it, and he doesn't dare to accept it." If you really want to get along with my big gold, please change your credentials. ”

Ma Zheng also invited to introduce the lord of Dajin, Yang Pu said: "My Dajin is especially better than Daliao, if you come to ask, you need to follow the example of asking Daliao." ”

Ma Zheng pleaded bitterly, but Yang Pu just didn't allow it, and he had to go back first to change his credentials.

Ma Zhengdao: "The sea road is dangerous, please see that this is not easy to come by, and it is a little accommodating." ”

Yang Pu said: "Jinmen to Dengzhou is only a hundred miles of sea, morning and evening. Although there are thousands of miles from Jinmen to Huining, the capital of our country, it is all in Dajin, and there is no obstacle, just like your country from Hangzhou, Quanzhou and other places to Bianjing. If you want to see my emperor, it's not too late to wait for the noble envoy to change the national letter. ”

Ma Zheng had nothing to do, so he had to agree. Yang Pu said again: "The Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao are enemies, and my Dajin is also the enemy of the Great Liao. Therefore, whenever the merchants of the Great Song Dynasty come to our Tianjin Gate to trade, our country will treat them properly. This is a clear proof that my country is willing to make friends with the Great Song Dynasty! The Great Song Dynasty is a state of etiquette, after the noble envoy returns to China, please pay tribute to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, if our merchants go to Quanzhou and Mingzhou to trade, please do not turn away. ”

Ma Zhengdao: "I have the world in mind in the Great Song Dynasty, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, and merchants from all over the world have come!" Since Daikin is a friendly country, how can there be a reason to reject it. ”

Yang Pu said: "In the past, Dengzhou was originally a big port to the sea, but it only declined because of the Great Liao. If the Great Song Dynasty is interested in getting through, it can open the Rongchang Market, so that my Dajin people can buy tea and sell horses in the past. ”

Ma Zheng was overjoyed when he heard the word selling horses, and said: "In the past, the sea was guarded, but it was actually Liao. Now that Liaodong has changed hands, the imperial court will definitely deal with it separately. After returning to the court, this envoy will definitely start to play my lord and promote this matter. ”

Yang Pu was overjoyed and ordered a banquet to entertain him.
