Zhao Guangyi's news was transmitted to Dali at the same time, Goryeo and other places also received such news, the Japanese State had sent a special person to the Song State, and the emperor of Goryeo at this moment was indeed anxious, because he knew that the Japanese State had sent people, and the Japanese State could be said to be at war with Goryeo now, and they sent people to discuss and the real intentions of no one knows.

The Emperor of Goryeo sat on a chair and said to his courtiers: "Ladies and gentlemen, I also saw the things in my hand, and on this is a letter sent by the Song State, saying that their deputy prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty has died, and we want to send someone to meet them. ”

At this time, all the people are in a state of thought, they are embarrassed to open their mouths to speak for a while, they are not good at talking. At the same time, the monarch of Goryeo was furious, and he said, "I let you make up your mind, not let you die, there were so many words waiting for me before, but now? When I asked you to make up your mind, what did you do with me, a person can't say a word, if you don't say a word today, don't leave, what use do I want you to waste, I'm angry! ”

At this time, the ministers knelt down in fear and said: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't want to talk, Your Majesty, you also know that we have to go to Bianjing through the Liao State, and it is not good if we offend the Liao State!" So the ministers were embarrassed to speak. ”

Wang Zhi was half angry when he heard such an answer, only to see him smile sinisterly and said: "What I usually say, you always talk about him left and right, what use do I want you to do, don't you just ignore the letter of condolences sent by the Emperor of the Song Kingdom?" I know that if I let you come up with an idea, you will definitely not be able to come up with it, so what's the use of me raising you, is it just to let you eat, and stand in the court, Xu Xi Aiqing, you can talk about it. ”

Xu Xi said to the Goryeo Emperor Wang Zhi: "The emperor is going to go now, but we have to see how to go, the emperor thinks that your lordships have a certain reason to consider, maybe you also know that we want to go to Bianjing is also through Xiao Chuwen, he is the general of the Liao State, mainly responsible for receiving the surrounding areas with our country, but now the emperor also knows that the Wa State controls the surrounding seas, which makes it extremely inconvenient for us to travel, so our best thing to do is to get in touch with Xiao Chuwen and ask him to agree with what we do, Achieve success in our program. ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhi became even more angry, only to see him open his mouth and say: "This damn Xiao Siwen has invaded our Great Goryeo a few years ago, and now he wants me to beg him, do you want me to lose face, my face can be discarded casually, right or not." ”

I saw that Xu Xi was also very helpless at this time, but he still explained and said: "Now the minister has two ideas, one is to start from the Sea of Japan and go to the Great Song Dynasty by water, but it is necessary to get in touch with the Wa Kingdom in the middle, and there is also a road that starts from the Yellow Sea, Your Majesty, you also know that since Yelu Xiaoer of the Liao State ascended the throne, he has increased the control of the sea Yelu oblique controls the circulation line on the sea, if you take the land route, you must first pass through Xiao Siwen, Xiao Siwen is cunning and cunning, and it is not easy to deal with. However, the minister feels that there are many people who are prone to encounter danger by waterway, so we might as well go out of the Yalu River first and then send someone to contact Xiao Chuwen, so as to try to talk about Xiao Chuwen this time and see the prosperity of the Song Kingdom. ”

At this time, Wang Zhi also felt that the other party made sense, but I saw him smile and said: "At the critical moment, Xu Aiqing, you are of great use, I thought about it for a long time and decided to send someone to meet Xiao Chuwen first, it is too risky to take the waterway, but I don't know this time, Xiao Siwen of Liao State has any excessive ideas." ”

Cui Chenglao opened his mouth and said: "Categorically, the emperor Xiao is sinister and cunning, scheming, this person can be sent to this place, it shows the power of this person, but at this time, the Liao State has invaded Lanzhou and other places, and it is also a new land, and he will not deliberately offend us, it is impossible for him to offend the Great Song Dynasty, and offend our Goryeo to death, the old minister thinks that he must have a need, the old minister thinks that you must send a smart and capable envoy this time to get in touch with such a group of people, since he wants a gift, Let's go to his place with the gift and have a conversation with him, what do you think? ”

At this time, Wang Zhi also began to think about it, in his opinion, what Cui Chenglao said made some sense, only to see him smile and say: "Old Aiqing, if there is anyone to recommend to me, I will listen to you, Aiqing, please speak." ”

At this time, Cui Chenglao was also embarrassed to hide it, he heard the emperor ask this, only to see him smile and say: "This person is Lord Xu Xixu, Lord Xu is loyal to my great Goryeo, and he is also a shrewd and capable person, this time I can directly face Xiao Siwen, and we can also face everything about him, as long as the gifts we bring are rich enough, the old minister believes that Xiao Chuwen will definitely agree." Besides, the emperor, haven't you been worrying about who is the best person to send to the Song Kingdom! Lao Chen, I believe that with the help of Lord Xu, I will be able to complete this task. ”

At this time, Xu Xi said embarrassedly: "Old lady, praise Xu Xi too much!" It makes Xu a little embarrassed, but in the Warring States period of the Central Plains, there was Mao Sui self-recommendation, then I today I Xu also learn from Mao Sui self-recommendation, go to Xiao Chuwen hinterland, talk to him personally, and then go to the Song Kingdom to see the excitement of the capital of the Song Kingdom, please allow the emperor. ”

At this time, Wang Zhi smiled and said: "Well, the two Aiqing are really brave and loyal people, the old Aiqing played by Xu Aiqing rushed to the Song Kingdom and confronted Xiao Siwen directly, I thought about it and decided to agree to this matter, this time in addition to going to Bianjing to mourn Fan Qian, there is another thing, and it is also a particularly important top priority, this time Xu Aiqing, you go to Xiao Siwen's mansion and must let him withdraw his troops from the Yalu River, they have been stationed in this place, I am now frightened, I am deeply afraid that they will rashly attack our Great Goryeo at this time, and this matter has to be guarded against, and we must be cautious. ”

It turned out that Yelu Longxu had arranged Xiao Siwen around the Yalu River for his own ambitions, just to play a deterrent role, and he Yelu Longxu had told Xiao Chuwen to fight a little, but the movement should not be too big, but this behavior still attracted the attention of the Goryeo Emperor Wang Zhi, and he was now worried and afraid, afraid that something would happen and provoke the Liao army, so he said that to Xu Xi.

At this time, Xu Xi smiled and said: "Although the emperor can rest assured, the minister has already left his mind, this time it is equivalent to what the emperor and the great man said, their purpose this time is to get benefits from us, Weichen estimates that although they don't want to fight with our army at this moment, Weichen feels that he Xiao Chuwen is definitely waiting for our benefits when he does this, or we give enough benefits to the other party, this time the Liao State has ended the war in Lanzhou, and they will not focus on us. That's why the minister concluded that they didn't really want to fight us to the end, but that they must have something to sit down with us. And this time, in the minister's opinion, the end of the matter in Lanzhou is just right, at this time they can sit down with confidence, listen to the conditions we give, and see if they can really agree. In the opinion of the minister, after Xiao Chuwen signed the contract, the emperor will not consider moving troops for the time being, in his opinion, they are now in a hurry to stabilize in the rear, so it is impossible to rush to move troops at this time, so the minister's idea, you can wait until our contract is negotiated to give them face, after we retreat a certain distance, the minister believes that they will also temporarily withdraw their troops from the Yalu River, so that we can go to the Song Kingdom to achieve it faster? ”

At this time, Cui Chenglao also felt that Xu Xi's analysis had a certain amount of truth, only to see him smile and say: "Emperor Qi, the old minister thinks that what Lord Xu said is extremely true, and the old minister thinks that as long as we are sincere, the enemy will be very excited, because our sincerity is given, friendship is given, benefits are given, benefits are also given, I believe they will not rashly move troops, at this moment they want to get the benefits even more, this group of Liao people can't afford to do things early, especially their little emperor Yelu Xiaoer wolf ambition, For the wolf ambitions of the countries around us, we must not be offended now, I have seen the recent war analysis, from the fact that he sent people to sign contracts to seize Dingzhou and other places, it can be seen that this person is a rare man in a century, this person is calm and treacherous, and he is a wolf ambition for the world, it is conceivable that this person is not easy to deal with, since he himself is not easy to deal with, let alone his subordinates? Aside from these, the people of Liao are all pursuing interests, they only believe in one sentence, that is, there are no eternal friends in the world, and there are no eternal enemies, only eternal and unchanging interests, this time to go to Xiao Siwen of the Liao army, Lord Xu should be more careful, Xiao Siwen is not so easy to deal with. ”

At this time, Wang Zhi also said with a smile: "Well, I feel a little reasonable after listening to the words of the two loves, and Xu Aiqing!" What Lao Aiqing said just now is right, Cui Siwen is not so easy to deal with, be careful in everything, I have a lot of confidence in you this time, I believe that you will not disappoint me this time, in short, I hope you will be more careful along the way. ”

When this group of people saw that Wang Zhi said this, they also followed in Wang Zhi's footsteps, and they saw that this group of Goryeo ministers also smiled at Xu Xi and said: "I wish Lord Xu a smooth journey, I hope you can come back safely, and we and the emperor are waiting for your good news to come back." ”

At this time, Xu Xi also bowed to Wang Zhi three times, and then immediately knelt down and said: "Please emperor, Lord Cui, and all of you rest assured, if you don't complete this task, I will never return, this time in order to live up to the expectations of the emperor and your lords, I decided to complete it alone, according to the words of the Central Plains, I would rather die if I don't succeed." ”

At this time, Wang Zhi was very cautious, he touched his beard, and then said with emotion: "Well, since this is the case, then I will set off in the afternoon today, and then I will personally see you off Aiqing, I hope you can return safely, all Aiqing, you all go home and prepare to go!" When the time comes, will you see me off, do you hear me clearly? ”

At this moment, these ministers immediately knelt down, only to see them smile and say: "The emperor is wise and martial, the ministers obey the order, long live my emperor, long live long live!" ”

At this time, Wang Zhi signaled that they all retreated, and went home to prepare to go, and at this moment, Xu Xi also began to go home to pack up and prepare to leave, and Wang Zhi also began to prepare two big gifts, one for the Liao people, and the other for the Song people.
