The Liao Dynasty's Dutingyi was on the prosperous South Gate Street, which was only a few houses away from the famous Gaoyang Zhengdian, and the envoy of the Dutingyi soon arrived at the Gaoyang Zhengdian, and Xiao Er handed over the information in his hand when he was serving.

He looked at the Han people in front of him and solemnly sang a fat song and left, at this time, the more as usual, the better, the wax pill in his hand was taken away by his light flick into his sleeve, the messenger enjoyed the wine and food of Gaoyang Zhengdian, and after eating a round belly, he left with a smile, but his hand holding the copper coin was very tight......

After returning to Dutingyi, the messenger checked the mark of the wax pill, and after making sure that there was no problem, he gently opened it, and the white paper strip was slowly unfolded, soaked in turmeric water, and then the handwriting slowly emerged......

The envoy's pupils suddenly became the size of pinpoints, and his hands began to tremble unconsciously, and finally rushed out, rushing straight to the room where Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui were.

At this time, Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui were talking, the chess method between black and white, the yin and yang, and the longitude and latitude between vertical and horizontal, both of them were calm and relaxed, and at this time, if anyone showed anxiety or anxiety, they would fall behind.

"Zhong Bao heard that the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty gave a banquet to the ministers in Qionglin Yuan tonight, and even my Daliao delegation and party envoys were summoned, but the old man still thinks that you and I are comfortable talking here."

Zhang Jian smiled and looked at Xiao Hui, who was about to lose but didn't care: "Zhang Jian also thinks so, it's a pity that the emperor's order is here, I can't wait but it becomes rude, after all, it is the invitation of the king of a country, and the imperial power is maintained by you and me no matter which country it is, right?" ”

Xiao Hui said with a smile: "That's right, it's a pity that my Liao people are good at drinking and feasting but not good at mediation, but you Zhang Jian is quite talented, but you want to support the façade of my Daliao." ”

Zhang Jian nodded in response: "This is natural." I'm looking forward to tonight's event, the cunning prince has become the official of the Great Song Dynasty, and he doesn't know how to make things difficult for me, and now he is taking advantage of this opportunity to see how the Great Song Emperor's bearing is. ”

With an uproar, Xiao Hui overturned the chess game and said: "Speaking of this, I'm angry, and it's just a banquet tonight, and I actually arranged my Daliao mission and the party envoy together, isn't this intentional?" ”

Zhang Jian pointed at Xiao Hui helplessly and said, "The fox is still a fox even if he sits next to the tiger, but your chess skills are getting worse and worse." ”

"It's not too early, I'll go down here today, it's right to go to the banquet quickly, I have two good horses here, how about you and I compare equestrian skills?"

Zhang Jian said with a smile: "Horse racing is still counted, there is no result in comparison, the road in Tokyo City is different from our Daliao, if you ride a horse and gallop, it will attract a burst of condemnation, even if you patrol the city and the imperial history does not speak, you have to stop us quickly, I heard that the day before yesterday, Ding Xianggong was stopped and fined copper because of urgent matters, and Ding Xianggong also paid the money honestly......"

The two turned over on their horses as they spoke, and Xiao Hui nodded and said, "Oh? And here's the thing! It seems that the official family of the Great Song Dynasty is a very well-behaved person! ”

The military horses of Dutingyi have always been tied to the back door, and the two plan to use this time to visit Tokyo City, and it is their business to learn advanced things, and the previous highway incident made them very faceless, and they didn't even get a small formula.

The horse's hooves stepped firmly on the cement pavement, and the horseshoes and the road surface made a crisp sound, the cement road was good, but the wear and tear of the horseshoe was too great, and the horseshoe that could be used for three or five months in the past could only be used for more than a month in Tokyo.

However, the advantages of the Song people's iron-smelting technology are reflected, and the horse iron in Tokyo City can often be used for more than two months, while the Liao people's own horse iron is very different......

The Great Song Dynasty is showing its advantages to Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui with its unique attitude.

The two soon talked about the royal garden located west of Tokyo City, Qionglin Garden, which was originally a place to entertain new scholars, but now it has become a banquet place for the official family, and all the civil and military officials in the court were invited to come, which can be regarded as a gathering of people.

Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui just saw low-grade officials, and even saw some catchers entering the table!

This is simply incredible for the two of them, the emperor and the catcher...... What is the difference between the two? Is even such a little person qualified to accept the invitation of the official family? It's ridiculous!

There are not only fast catchers but also craftsmen, and now craftsmen in the Great Song Dynasty can even enter the office, which is not surprising, after all, craftsmen are considered to be a combination of things, and Gewu is a part of the Confucian classics, which is equivalent to doing knowledge.

It's just that their knowledge is not just a great way, although the strange skills and tricks are useful, they can't be on the elegant hall, Zhang Jian frowned and said: "The official family of the Great Song Dynasty is also a knowledgeable person, why would he make such a ridiculous mistake?" ”

"What's this, the more like this, the better!" In Xiao Hui's opinion, as long as the Great Song Dynasty has a little mistake, it is also beneficial to the Great Liao.

Just when the two were talking in a low voice, Sancai raised his voice and shouted: "The auspicious time has come, the official family has a banquet!" ”

Almost everyone looked at Zhao Zhen, who looked at him, and after he ate a bite of food and drank a sip of wine, the Qionglin banquet officially began.

It would be a bit silly for anyone to regard tonight's banquet as a banquet from the official family, after all, the interaction between the emperor and the courtiers was more for outsiders to see, such as those who ate a lot of food.

In the eyes of the courtiers, even the so-called scholars of Gewu were more polite than the catch.

But Zhao Zhen is obviously very optimistic about these fast catchers, and raised his glass in the panicked look of the fast catchers: "I feel that the development of my Great Song Dynasty this year is inseparable from the conscientious ministers, and also inseparable from the hard-working scholars and hard-working catchers. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Compared with the civil and military officials who can see Zhao Zhen every day, the craftsman is more excited, for them to have today's status and treatment is completely given by the official, and they are excited in their hearts but they are speechless on the surface, and can only give Zhao Zhen a big gift.

Zhao Zhen took care of his guests, of course, he had to greet the guests, turned his head to look at the party and the envoys of the Liao Dynasty, Zhao Zhen sighed helplessly in his heart, the old enemy is here......

The envoy of the Liao Dynasty is Zhang Jian, and the envoy of the party is Yeli Renrong, both of them can be regarded as a generation of famous ministers, and they are both related to Zhao Zhen, one is yin over Zhao Zhen, and the other is yin by Zhao Zhen......

But at this time, there was no scene where the enemy was blushing when they met, only a group of harmonious and happy, no one wanted to break the atmosphere of the New Year, Zhao Zhen took into account the face of the Great Song Dynasty and praised the congratulatory message of the Liao Dynasty mission, but he was not interested in the party members.

This is not the arrogance of the victor, but to make the party feel the gap between him and the Liao State, one is a country recognized by the Great Song Dynasty ritual law, and the other is a nomadic who plundered the land of the Great Song Dynasty.

Although Yi Liao and Song gave the party a chance to breathe, but in terms of etiquette and law, it was still the same as before, the Liao State only recognized the status of the small party country Fanbang, and in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, the party was just a group of bandits from Fanbang, who robbed the land of the Great Song Dynasty and established themselves as kings!

Now the Great Song Dynasty has recovered Hongzhou and Yanzhou, and controlled a considerable part of the area like a wedge nailed under the belly of the party, and used the land of the two states and the Tiejinze Desert to divide the party, the effect is remarkable, Li Deming had to use the old method to declare himself a vassal to the Great Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen looked at Yeli Renrong, whose eyes were full of wisdom, and said with a smile: "I have long heard that you are the most knowledgeable person in the party, but now that I have seen it, I can have a good discussion with my scholars." ”

"Your Majesty is only shallow in learning, how can you compare with the bachelors of the kingdom, Your Majesty is rich all over the world, there are countless fierce generals under his command, and there are many wise men in his pocket, how can he be as knowledgeable as my party members."

Yeli Renrong's words made Zhang Jian and Xiao Hui look at each other, it seems that the party members should not be underestimated, they can grovel and lower their posture under the provocation of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and they can be regarded as able to bend and stretch, and they know the status of the party better than anyone else, even if Yeli Renrong is neither humble nor arrogant, no one will say anything, after all, he is the messenger of the party.

But now he puts himself and the party item so low, the meaning of it is self-evident, the party item people don't want to spend it with the Great Song Dynasty, they can't afford it!
