Zhao Zhen stood at the entrance of Tokyo City and led the hundred officials to welcome the return of the mission, and the city of Tokyo, which was still prosperous, opened its arms to every person who had left her.

The civil and military officials of the court whispered, they didn't know why the official family would go out of the city to personally welcome the return of the mission, Zhao Zhen did not explain the mystery to them, after all, what Xia Zhu and Cai Boyu did was not on the stage.

In the eyes of the courtiers, the official family attached too much importance to the return of the mission to the Song Dynasty, and only needed to summon it in the Daqing Hall with a heavy courtesy, why should he be so serious as if the army was triumphant, only Song Xiaoyi stood in the shadow of the city gate and nodded slightly, he knew everything that Xia Zhu and Cai Boyu did in the Liao Dynasty.

It can be said that the civil strife in the Liao Dynasty this time was caused by the two of them, provoking the relationship between the Empress Dowager Fatian and the Liao Emperor, and even the death of the Empress Dowager Qi Tian was related to them.

When did the Black Hand observe the law of etiquette......

Song Xiaoyi is used to hiding in the shadows, and on the side is Chen Lin, who is shaped like a rotten wood, and he likes this young descendant more and more, because this kid is more and more like himself, but there is no castration.

But to be honest, Chen Lin also felt sad for this young man, and sighed: "Are you so willing to hide in a place where you can't see the light forever? ”

Song Xiaoyi leaned against the sturdy city wall and curled up into the shadows and said, "Is there anything wrong with this? I once promised the official family to always be his shadow, to deal with unsightly things all the time, what else can I do when I see the light? ”

Chen Lin smiled bitterly: "You know that the official family is not that kind of person, as long as you open your mouth, the official family will definitely let you come out!" ”

"Why do you want to come out? I think the current dispatch is very suitable for me, to tell you the truth, the official family has done their best to me, and even proposed that I be turned into a civil official, at least a bachelor of Longtu Pavilion, but it's a pity that I don't fight myself, and I don't have too little talent in my belly to deserve it, I still think that the current job is the most suitable for me, don't you? ”

Chen Lin nodded affirmatively and said: "That's right, you kid doesn't know why, you are born to manage the black hand, you can always handle these private things properly, I'm afraid the official family can't do without you." ”

Song Xiaoyi laughed and said, "I am born to be useful...... Who?! ”

"Alas! I just know that the children adopted by the official family were not simple, and now it seems that it is really right, do you remember the old man? ”

Standing on the edge of the city wall, but never stepping into the shadows, who is not Lu Zongdao?

"Lu in politics?" Song Xiaoyi looked at Lu Zongdao in surprise and didn't know what to say for a while, this person is the most respected person by Song Xiaoyi except for the official family, and the rocker of the entire Great Song Dynasty is only his hardest, and he can always play in front of the official family in time whenever he encounters injustice.

Lu Zongdao smiled helplessly: "What do you know about the Liao Dynasty, how about telling the old man about it?" ”

"What is Lu talking about?"

Seeing Song Xiaoyi pretending to be stupid, Chen Lin pretending to be dead on the side, Lu Zongdao said angrily: "Do you think I don't know anything, some of the princes in the court may be deceived, but they are not all pedantic people, Wang Xianggong avoids talking about the affairs of the Liao Dynasty and laughs all day long, Ding Wei is pretending to be confused, Lu Yijian was taken out by the official family just because he collided with Xiang Xianggong for a few words, all this is unusual, coupled with the drastic changes in the Liao Dynasty, anyone can see the trick, that is, the princes are unwilling to wade into this troubled water, you know it!" ”

Chen Lin raised his eyelids in surprise and looked at Lu Zongdao in front of him, is this still the pedantic and old-fashioned "fish-headed participation in politics"?

Song Xiaoyi and Chen Lin both underestimated the intelligence of literati, even if a pedantic person can become an official in Beijing, he will not go anywhere, let alone the governor as a vice minister?

There are many officials in the court who can see the strangeness, but everyone doesn't want to say it when they see the officials, so they don't ask, there is no other reason, everything is too coincidental, and the embassy stays in the Liao Dynasty for too long.

And it was precisely Xia Zhu and Cai Boyu who had a series of changes during the Liao Dynasty, and whoever didn't know the connection was a fool! They just chose to keep their mouths shut wisely, but Lu Zongdao didn't think he would do it.

Lu Zongdao has been responsible for admonishing Zhao Zhen since he ascended the throne, and as long as Zhao Zhen does not seize his send, he will not slack off.

Song Xiaoyi quietly pointed to the Shili Pavilion where Zhao Zhen was, as long as Zhao Zhen didn't let him speak, even if he was killed, he wouldn't say everything, Lu Zongdao said with emotion: "Of course, it is not wrong for you to be loyal to the king, but if the civil strife in the Liao Dynasty was caused by my Great Song Dynasty, then it is not loyal to the king......"

"What does Lu mean by participating in politics? Does it mean that we can't wait for the helpers to abuse us?! Chen Lin's voice sounded gloomily, and he couldn't listen to disrespectful words to the official family the most.

Lu Zongdao sneered: "You are a murderer, I don't know how many times the old man saved you, but now you don't know how powerful." A big country should act in a brilliant way, and the ghost tricks can only succeed for a while, and they will not be able to meet in the end, do you want my Great Song Dynasty to become a country of villains? ! ”

Chen Lin sneered and said: "Count how many times I owe you favors, but don't make a conclusion too early about some words, the official family has its own law of acting is not something you and I can speculate." ”

Lu Zongdao nodded: "That's why I want to wait for the ministers to speak up and persuade them!" ”

Chen Lin wanted to say something, but when he saw the figure of the official standing in the pavilion in the distance, he sighed slightly: "Okay, it's right that you do what you should do, Your Majesty is indeed not as benevolent and righteous as the first emperor......

Song Xiaoyi's face changed, these words were not what Chen Lin should say!

Lu Zongdao smiled and nodded: "You can also see it?" The benevolence of the official family is different from that of the first emperor, there is no trace of weakness in it, although this is a fortunate thing for my Great Song Dynasty, but I must also be assisted by good students, otherwise it is inevitable that another Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty will appear! ”

Chen Lin shook his head with a wry smile and said, "What's wrong with Emperor Wu of Han?" A generation of heroes, admired through the ages! ”

"But he's a lone man!! How will you and I explain to the first emperor after a hundred years?! Could it be that the first emperor told you to forget it completely, yes! You are comfortable now, hiding in the black hands, don't play with the explanation of the first emperor, let Your Majesty become the lord of the virtuous monarch Zhongxing! ”

Chen Lin's words were like a knife constantly scraping Chen Lin's old skin, making him uncomfortable, while Song Xiaoyi on the side looked at them blankly and inexplicably, what was the situation, and how did it have anything to do with the first emperor?

Song Xiaoyi didn't know that Chen Lin and Lu Zongdao had received the secret order of Zhenzong, and strictly ordered the two to assist Zhao Zhen and persuade them.

This is the most famous thing in the world, and it is also the most difficult thing in the world!
