Chapter 49: Jeruxiu and Xiao Xuan
Naturally, the black charcoal of the divine horse is not so easy to succumb, and Guo Zongxun is not in a hurry, this prince has time to play with you, and our brothers will slowly cultivate their feelings.
According to Guo Rong's original idea, he wanted to divide the army into two ways, all the way to attack the Northern Han and all the way to the Liao State.
However, as soon as Guo Rong's conquest plan came out, the Liao State and the Northern Han Dynasty panicked and sent missions to Kaifeng, and the Liao State even specially sent a proton over to declare himself a vassal to the Great Zhou and wanted to sign a non-aggression pact with the Zhou State.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the missions of the two countries have now entered Kaifeng, and they are all waiting for my summons at the post house, which Aiqing is willing to meet them first?"
Since Guo Rong asked so, he naturally did not ask the officials of Honglu Temple, because the officials of Honglu Temple are now afraid that they have been fed by the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao State.
Guo Rong didn't care very much about these things, anyway, most of the money and property of these officials would be handed over, and it was Cao Bin, who had just been demoted by him to the Guards Division to replace Yue Fei in commanding the Hustile.
When Cao Bin sent Wu Yue to envoy, the king of Wu Yue gave Cao Bin a large number of precious gifts in order to please Cao Bin, Cao Bin always refused to accept, and later, it was really impossible to refuse, Cao Bin accepted the gifts, registered one by one, and returned to Kaifeng to hand them over.
This matter, won Guo Rong's appreciation, starting from Cao Bin, the officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty did not refuse to give gifts when they were in foreign affairs, as long as you reported truthfully after you came back, not only would you not lose your official position, but the emperor would give you most of these gifts.
There are such good things that can not only be appreciated by the emperor, but also get specific benefits, why bother to be a dirty official, of course, this is limited to foreign affairs.
The person the emperor wants to send out to meet with the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao State this time must not be from Honglu Temple, and the most important thing is that the official position cannot be too high.
Wouldn't it be too high to send a high-ranking official to them?
"We're willing to go."
An official walked out of the ministers, Guo Rong saw that it was a young official, and he still had some impressions of this person.
"Lu Aiqing has such courage, I am very relieved, I am ready, you will go to meet the envoys of these two countries for a while, and see if they really want peace talks, or just want to delay time."
Lu Duan, 24 years old, at this time, the official position is the author of the Saro, the official hall.
After discussing some other matters, Guo Rong announced his retirement from the court, but left Lu Duan alone to answer in the imperial study.
It happened that Wei Zhongxian was waiting at the door of the imperial study, and after seeing Guo Rong, he hurriedly knelt down and told Guo Zongxun what he wanted to see.
"I haven't seen Xun'er for a few days, and I don't know how he tames the horse, you go and spread the word, and let Xun'er go to the imperial study to see the driver immediately."
"The slave obeys, and the slave will go to report to the four princes."
Wei Zhongxian naturally didn't dare to delay, and trotted all the way back to the small school field.
"Master, the emperor asked you to go to the imperial study immediately."
Guo Zongxun was confronting the divine horse Black Tan, this time Black Tan had been hungry for almost a whole day, but he still had no intention of giving in.
Guo Zongxun's method of taming the horse is to starve the black charcoal for two days, let it eat the half-full ordinary forage for two days, and then continue to be hungry, and then eat the half-full selected forage for two days, and then continue to starve......
This black charcoal is very arrogant, and he ate the forage fed by Guo Zongxun himself, but he just didn't let Guo Zongxun ride him as a horse.
"Black charcoal, you wait for this prince, after this prince goes to see his father, he will come back and continue to clean you up."
Guo Zongxun also trotted all the way to the imperial study, but his face was slightly red, but his breathing was stable and he was not panting.
When I came to the door of the imperial study, I first saw the great eunuch Li Tongjie.
"The old slave sees the four princes."
"Mr. Li is exempt from courtesy, and he also invited Gonggong Li to enter the house to spread the word, and his son-in-law Guo Zongxun asked to see his father."
"The emperor said, if the four princes come, just go in directly, the four princes, please......"
"Thank you, Mr. Li."
Wei Zhongxian stayed outside, Guo Zongxun walked inside, and as soon as he walked in, he saw his father discussing state affairs with a young official, and Guo Rong also saw Guo Zongxun and waved to him.
"The son knocked to see his father, and when he heard his father's summons, he was happy for a while, so he ran here, but he didn't expect that his father had not finished talking about state affairs here, so the minister waited outside first."
"It's okay, come here, my father is meeting with Lu Aiqing to meet with the envoys of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao State, you can also listen to it."
Guo Rong beckoned Guo Zongxun to come to him, picked up Guo Zongxun and put him on his lap, and continued to Lu Duan:
"This time, the Liao State even sent the prince surnamed Yelu out as a proton, and it is said that a little girl surnamed Xiao came with him, the sincerity of this peace talk is quite sufficient, but unfortunately, I would rather not fight the Northern Han Dynasty than the Liao State first."
Guo Zongxun looked at the young official standing in front of him, Lu Aiqing? In the Northern Song Dynasty Zhao Kuangyin era, there seemed to be two civil officials surnamed Lu who were quite famous, one was Lu Duan and the other was Lu Mengzheng.
I just don't know if this one in front of me will be one of them?
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he might as well see how thick the sincerity of the Liao State is, and the Northern Han side can hang it first."
"Hahaha, good you Lu Duan, no wonder you dare to recommend yourself, it turns out that you guessed my thoughts."
"The minister is afraid, how dare the minister pretend to be holy, but the minister thinks that since these two have been sent to the door, it is indeed a pity not to make good use of them."
When Guo Zongxun heard it, it turned out to be Lu Duan, who was praised by later generations as "confused in small matters, not confused in big things", and once served as the prime minister.
This is also a talent, first recorded in the prince's small book.
"Father, please forgive Erchen for interjecting, Erchen wants to know, what is the name of the proton and the little girl surnamed Xiao sent by Liao, and how old is it?"
"Does Xun'er really want to keep them as playmates? The proton is called Yelu Huge, and the little girl seems to be called Xiao Xuan, and it is a coincidence that these two people are the same age as Xun'er. ”
I'll go, isn't it, Brother Yelu Xiu, the genius commander of the Liao State, he led the army to defeat the soldiers and horses of the Song State several times, and beat Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong to the bottom of the blood, and this bear child is now actually sent to the Zhou State as a proton?
Also, the bear girl named Xiao Xuan, that is the famous Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Kingdom in the future, but now she doesn't even count protons, she belongs to the company that follows the protons, and she is all bet on us Zhou Kingdom?
In order to beg our Zhou State not to attack them, in Guo Zongxun's known history, the Liao State has never been so kind to the Song Dynasty......
Guo Zongxun really can't wait to kick Zhao Kuangyin a few times now, dog thief, if it weren't for your conspiracy to usurp my Guo family, how could my Chinese man have the Song Dynasty was bullied by the Liao State first, then by the Jin State, and finally destroyed by the Yuan Dynasty, until the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, which eased his strength.
Hundreds of years, Zhao Kuangyin, open your dog's eyes and take a look, what did your old Zhao family do with a litter of eggs sitting on the throne?
If you want to face it, the Chinese nation has a soft egg in your family, and it is quite addictive to be the emperor one by one, how sad, woo hoo and mourn, the sky has no eyes.
"Father, the son wants to meet these two little dolls of the Liao Kingdom, if the son takes a fancy to them, the son begs the father to keep them."
Brother Yelu and Empress Dowager Xiao, these two people were sent to the door, but they couldn't let them run away......
