At the same time that Song Zheng was transferred to the right superintendent, he was appointed as the Langzhong of the Ministry of Rites and was on duty in the Rite Room for repair. After learning the news, Song Zheng only grinned.

The ceremonial room was the institution in charge of foreign affairs in the Great Qi Dynasty. Before the Great Qi, the Sui, Tang, Song and other dynasties were under the management of Honglu Temple in diplomatic affairs. Although the ritual room in the Song Dynasty also belonged to the Honglu Temple, it was mainly managed directly by the Privy Council. The Great Qi Dynasty did not have a privy council, nor was it as soft as the previous Song Dynasty, which was so soft on Liao and Jin, so it did not attach so much importance to the ceremonial room, and there were things that were generally spoken with fists. The ceremonial room has also become a small department under the ceremonial department. It is only in the past ten years that it has developed.

Song Zheng didn't expect that the little emperor would let himself be the right supervisor at the same time, but also engage in diplomacy, and he really used himself as a generalist. As the saying goes, a weak country has no diplomacy. Daqi is not weak, but its fists are clenched tightly, and it is desperately hard against Jin, Western Xia and Shu, and it is not active diplomatically. The ceremonial room is also mainly to deal with some small overseas countries from the sea, such as Dashi, Goryeo and the like. And, of course, Dali, a neighbor to the southwest.

Daqi does not attach importance to diplomacy, which can be seen from the construction of the post house. In the former Song Dynasty, there were several large post houses in Tokyo, and the envoys from different countries lived in each post house. Duting Station, Duting Xiyi, and Tongwenguan received Liao, Western Xia, and Goryeo respectively; In addition, there are concierge houses, Zhanyun Pavilion, Huaiyuan Station, and small countries such as Khotan, Dali, and Srivijaya are received. Different diplomatic objects live in different pavilions.

When I arrived in Daqi, I didn't pay so much attention to it, and there was only one place for reception, which was also named Huaiyuanyi. The word Huaiyuan means "Huaiyuan to virtue" advocated by the central dynasties of the past dynasties. The pavilion is in the south of Jiangning City, four or five miles away from the imperial city. Although the place is not small, it cannot be compared with the Great Song Dynasty of the previous dynasty. The delegation brought by Wanyan Zhangzong this time had a hundred and ten people, so it was quite crowded, so he had to separate some people and not find an inn to live in.

As for the Western Xia and Shu Kingdoms, there were envoys in Huaiyuanyi, but they were all extremely ordinary low-level officials, mainly used to pass on messages to each other. Even if the Great Qi Dynasty and the neighboring countries discussed important matters, they were all sent missions, and there were absolutely no high-ranking officials stationed in each other's countries. As a result, the Great Qi Dynasty can also be regarded as creating a characteristic of the past dynasties: the poor relationship with the neighboring countries, no dynasty can reach.

The reason why this is so is because the emperors of Daqi in previous dynasties have a knot: whether it is Shu State, Guanzhong, or Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, they are all places of my Great Qi. The Great Qi Taizu butcher, before he died, never forgot to tell Taizong that he must take back each of the above places. Taizong also told Gaozong. As is customary, Gojong will also advise the successors below. It's a pity that he died in a palace accident and didn't have a chance.

From the late Gaozong period to the present, the foreign wars of the Great Qi are not so frequent, and the large-scale wars have not happened, and the relationship with the neighboring countries has been relatively relaxed, and the diplomatic affairs have slowly developed, and the ceremonial room has become important. Under the impetus of Huang Yuandu and Xiao Hui, Huaiyuanyi began to accept slightly more senior officials from the neighboring countries, and tried to exchange permanent envoys. However, the role of the ceremonial room is still limited.

Although Song Zheng was reluctant to do diplomatic errands, this was the order of the little emperor, and he had no choice. What made Song Zheng even more disgusting was that the person in charge of the ceremonial room turned out to be Huang Song. Huang Yuandu actually brought Huang Song to the Ministry of Rites to be a waiter, and he was also in charge of the ceremony room, how could he not make Song Zheng awkward!

Fortunately, there was another person in the room, Dai Pingen, who had been in charge of foreign affairs. Song Zheng is here, just looking at official documents and participating in the discussion of some important matters, and does not worry about specific foreign affairs. His center of gravity was naturally placed on the side of the right division.

On March 25, the 11th year of the Great Qi Dynasty, the left and right divisions of the Imperial City Division were officially established in the Imperial City at the same time. When a new organization is opened, it is naturally not possible to set off a few strings of firecrackers to publicize it like the people open a store. In fact, due to the peculiarities of the left division and the right division. Even Xiao Ying's will was not disclosed in the newspaper. There is only one sentence in the newspaper: The emperor's decree, the left and right divisions of the Imperial City Division, and the general supervisors of each office do not even have specific names. Of course, whoever does this errand can't hide it from the generals of the various ministries and the military department.

Early this morning, Song Zheng took Ding Long and Cai Yong to the Prime Minister's Office to meet Huang Yuandu. Ding and Cai are Song Zheng's personal guards, and other guards such as Qin Yi, Jiang Dakui and others have all joined the Right Division.

As soon as he entered the official office, Song Zheng saw Lu Junqing at a glance, Lu Junqing has not changed much from when he saw him a few years ago, but he is a little older. Song Zheng suppressed his hatred and stepped forward to salute Huang Yuandu.

"Come, Xiaolang, let me introduce you, this is Lord Lu Junqing, the right commander. Junqing, this is my great Qi ancient genius, Song Zheng, the champion of civil and military affairs, and the son of Mr. Xishan's family. Huang Yuandu smiled, which was very different from his usual majestic appearance.

Song Zheng just hugged his fist at Lu Junqing, but Lu Junqing took a few steps forward and grabbed Song Zheng's hand, "General Song, your name is like thunder, how fortunate is Lu to be able to work with you!" ”

Lu Junqing's face was full of enthusiasm, as if he had met a character he had admired for a long time.

Song Zheng was taken aback by him, but he quickly calmed down and bowed slightly, "Song has also been famous for Lord Lu for a long time, and the Lord single-handedly founded the Dark Eagle, so he has the current Right Division, and Song has always admired it." Hearing that the adults came out of the mountain again and entered the right division, Song was very excited, and he tossed and turned in recent days, but he couldn't sleep. ”

Song Zheng wanted to withdraw his hands and salute Lu Junqing with formal etiquette, but was tightly grasped by Lu Junqing.

"Well said, well said." Lu Junqing patted Song Zheng's hand twice, "As soon as I saw you, I felt very fateful." You are young, Lu is disrespectful to the old, so you should be an old brother, call you Xiaolang, don't blame me! ”

Lu Junqing's behavior made Song Zheng have goosebumps, and the vigilance in his heart became heavier. For Lu Junqing, Song Zheng can't forget. After Jiangning City was stabilized, Song Zheng even asked Li Hongniang to inquire about Lu Junqing's whereabouts. But I knew that this person had withdrawn from the dark eagle and was going to live for the rest of his life. If it weren't for the fact that Lu Junqing was also guarded by a master, Song Zheng would have assassinated this person a long time ago.

Qian Manji had a secret conversation with Song Zheng, and the first person to be killed was not Huang Song, but this Lu Junqing. If he hadn't pretended to be a Taoist priest and went to the Qian family in Songjiazhuang to use the scheme of planting and blaming the blame, the money cabinet would not have been ruined.

Right now, Lu Junqing is up and down and working with Song Zheng, and Song Zheng is very tired of it. However, when it comes to acting, Song Zheng still thinks that he has never lost to anyone. He immediately owed his body again, "I can win the favor of my old brother, and the boy is fortunate to have three lives." ”

"Good!" Huang Yuandu next to him slapped his face, "With the two of you in the right division, I am relieved." I also hope that you will cooperate sincerely in the future to strengthen my right division and make the right division the most trusted eyes and ears of the saint. ”

Only then did Lu Junqing let go of Song Zheng's hand and bowed his hand to Huang Yuandu, "The lowly position will no longer be entrusted by the saint and the prime minister." Song Zheng replied with the same words.

Coming out of Huang Yuandu's room, Song Zheng and Lu Junqing moved to the right side of the Yamen. Along the way, Lu Junqing was kind and kept introducing the situation of Dark Eagle to Song Zheng. What he said was naturally all face-to-face work, and Song Zheng had already understood it before coming here.

The Dark Eagle is similar to the Imperial City Division. The structure of the Imperial City Division is generally a secretary, a team leader, a commander, a general commander, and even a deputy capital commander and a capital commander. In the dark eagle, it is divided into black eagle, green eagle, red eagle, purple eagle, and golden eagle. Now, Dark Eagle has become the Right Division, so the original name naturally cannot be used, and it will also be restored to the Imperial City Division. Of course, it is customary for the Purple Eagle to be in charge of the road to be called the Grand Commander. Therefore, when Song Zheng saw Mu Yu, he also called him the commander of Mu Da.

The Dark Eagle is one of the eleven roads in the country, all of which are arranged at the state capital level. There are about thirty regular personnel in each state, and the number is even higher in the important places where the highway government is located. Coupled with some secret personnel in the country, the total number of people is nearly 10,000, which can be regarded as a huge spy agency.

"Xiao Lang, the two deputy commanders, and the great commanders of several nearby roads have arrived. The slightly farther ones haven't arrived yet, and will take a few more days. I'll tell you about it in a moment. ”

"Then there's Brother Laulu!" Although Song Zheng wanted to strangle Lu Junqing to death, his face did not show it at all, but he was polite, and he called Lu Junqing a brother and sister, and he was very affectionate.

Before he arrived at the door of the Yamen of the Right Division, Song Zheng pricked up his ears, listened for a while, and suddenly said to Lu Junqing, who was full of smiles, "It seems that someone inside has done something?" ”

"Hands-on? Over here? Lu Junqing's face was full of surprise.

"Oh no, it's a fight!" Song Zheng suddenly got up and shot out like an arrow. Ding Long and Cai Yong followed closely, while Lu Junqing stopped, his smile disappeared instantly, and his face changed to a fierce look.

Since it was in the imperial city, there were only two guards at the gate of the Right Division's Yamen, both of whom were Jiangning Dark Eagle personnel. However, both of them were looking into the yamen, apparently hearing movement inside.

Song Zhengli ignored it and passed directly past the two of them. The two Black Hawks were stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shouted, "Who are you?" He was about to step forward to chase, and Ding Long, who followed closely, hurriedly stopped the two and told them Song Zheng's identity.

Song Zheng rushed forward in a hurry, because he heard Yuan Rong's angry voice, as if he was arguing with someone, and even shouted "Brother Mu", as if he was very anxious. Yuan Rong's big brother Mu is naturally Mu Yu. Mu Yu has been transferred back from the Duwei Army and served as the commander of the Purple Eagle on Jiangnan Road.

Gangnam-ro is in the south of Gyeonggi-do, and it is also a road where the Gangnam clan is deeply entrenched. Jiangnan Road was formed by the merger of the former Song Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road. Among them, several state capitals near Gangning in Taiping Prefecture were placed under the jurisdiction of Gyeonggi Province, and other places were merged into Gangnam Road. The Jiangnan clan was born in Jiangnan Road and Jiangsu-Zhejiang Road. Because it is the foundation of the great clan and close to Jiangning, Jiangnan Road has attracted the attention of the Great Qi Dynasty. Many of the six ministers have had the experience of presiding over Jiangnan Road. Huang Yuandu, Ji Yong, and Pei Jian all served as pacification envoys on Jiangnan Road. Therefore, when the father of Li Denian, a friend of Song Zheng, served as the pacification envoy of Jiangnan Road, it was generally regarded as an omen of promotion. Sending Mu Yu to Jiangnan Road shows the importance attached to Mu Yu.

The relationship between Song Zheng and Mu Yu, although unknown, is extremely close. Now, hearing Yuan Rong shouting, it must be Mu Yu who is in danger, how can Song Zheng not be in a hurry?

After breaking into the yamen, there is a courtyard. This was originally a place for the office of the Ministry of Industry, which was naturally arranged and fine, planted a lot of flowers and trees, and now it is the time when the spring is strong, and it is very good-looking. Song Zheng had no intention of appreciating, he rushed to the door of the opposite big house, raised his foot and kicked the door open.

There were seven people in the hall, one fat and one thin, two middle-aged people were sitting on the chairs in front of them, their faces were as cold as ice. Yuan Rong was stopped in front of him by a bearded man, unable to move. Mu Yu was blocked in the corner by the two of them, and was attacked by the pinch, and the fists and feet were going back and forth, and the fight was fierce.

Although Mu Yu's kung fu was better than either of the two, he couldn't get advantage of the two of them, and he fell behind. It's no wonder that Yuan Rong is in a hurry, Mu Yu's situation is really not good, and he seems to have been punched in the face, and his cheekbones are swollen.
