Zhou Nan, Li Feixing, and Xiao Jiu were accompanied by the general secretary and waited outside the hall. With the arrival of all kinds of countries to enter the main hall in batches, thank the emperor, and come out of the main hall and be brought to Zhou Nan and them.

  Basically, from the order in which the envoys from various countries entered the palace, it can be seen that they are estranged from the Great Song Dynasty. Liao is the most important, although the current national situation is not as good as before, but it still ranks first because of the proximity of the two countries and the deepest influence. The second is the Goryeo Kingdom, and I don't know what the reason is, the Goryeo Kingdom, which is across the sea from the Great Song Dynasty, has no stake in the Great Song Dynasty, at best, it is to slam the Great Song Dynasty, so as to get some benefits here in the Great Song Dynasty. However, being able to rank second, surpassing the Jin Kingdom, which is now in full swing, shows that the Goryeo Kingdom is not only the reason for the Great Song Dynasty, but there must be other things in it.

  In third place, of course, it was the turn of the envoy of the Jin State. For these golden people with rat tails and short pigtails, Zhou Nan had a disgust and resistance from the bottom of his heart. Even if the Jin army has not yet reached Bianjing, even if the two Jin people in front of him have not killed the Han people, Zhou Nan still hates them in his heart. When the two golden men came out of the main hall proudly and stood next to the Goryeo envoy, Zhou Nan never turned his head to look in the direction of the golden man.

  Next is the envoy of the Western Xia Kingdom, who is small in territory but still challenges the Great Song Dynasty. In Zhou Nan's opinion, the Western Xia Kingdom is also strange enough. With the spirit of ants biting elephants, the Great Song Dynasty had to be regarded as a country. It's just that the gap between the two is too big, and the Western Xia obviously relies on the Great Song Dynasty in many aspects, but it has always been hard-mouthed, which annoyed the Great Song Dynasty, and as soon as the mutual market between the two countries was shut down, the Western Xia immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Fight and peace, and keep tossing endlessly.

  Compared with Western Xia, Dali and Tubo belong to the kind of little brothers who do not cause trouble, and even Dali has repeatedly asked to recognize the Great Song as the boss. Dali and the Great Song Dynasty have always lived in harmony, and there are even few armed disputes on the border.

  As for those small countries, Jiaozhi, Champong, Dashi, Khotan, Qiuzi, etc., are basically dispensable. Zhou Nan even suspected that the envoys from these countries were some swindlers in their own country, who got some local specialties and came to cheat them to eat and drink. Like Cochin, Champa and other national tributes ivory, rhino horn, hawksbill turtle, pearls, as well as various spices, fragrant wood; Great food tribute glassware, crystal, brocade, spices; Khotan, Qiuzigong camels, horses, jade, frankincense, etc.

  It was easy to get through until all the envoys had gone into the hall and walked around, and they all came out with new clothes and shoes, and the officials who were waiting outside the hall went in together, and heard the crowd shouting "Long live" inside, as if some attendants were shouting "Leave the shift." Then the ministers came out of the temple in procession. The summons was finally over.

  At this time, the messenger who was guarding Zhou Nan said to Zhou Nan, "Please go to the inner room to change your clothes, and wear the new clothes you will give to the banquet in a while." ”

  Zhou Nan had no choice but to take Li Feixing and Xiao Jiu to a warm pavilion with the housekeepers, and some chamberlains also brought over the new clothes of Li Feixing and Xiao Jiu. Fortunately, all I was given was a narrow sleeve long run, a belt, a pair of boots, and a hat to wear, which was fast to wear.

  After the three of them were dressed neatly, a small yellow door came up with tea. The matching general on the side said with a smile: "Three noble envoys, wait a minute." The official family will go back to the inner court to change into civilian clothes, and when the time for the feast comes, they will invite you to the banquet again. Today is the last day of the postponement of the Shangyuan Festival, so the summons, feasting, and lantern viewing are all on this day. ”

  Zhou Nan was idle and asked, "His Majesty the Emperor holds a big banquet, what palace will it be held?" ”

  The messenger replied, "It depends on the size of the banquet." If it is a general feast and there are not many people, then it is in the vertical arch hall; If there are more people, it will be in this Zichen Palace; If it's the biggest scene, you're going to Jiying Palace. Jiying Hall is also a place for officials to enter the country. ”

  "Then where do the ministers go to change their clothes?" Zhou Nan asked again. The people who stay in Zichen Palace now are all envoys from abroad, and there are also these generalists. In addition to the Zichen Palace, there are many separate rooms one by one, and now there are already people resting in these rooms. It seems that the palace is bigger and has more rooms, not just for the emperor to live in spaciousness, but there are too many people to entertain.

  "Naturally, the ministers are going back to their respective yamen to rest." The general replied disapprovingly. There are too many envoys who want to come to this housekeeper to receive them, and it has long been commonplace for envoys like Zhou Nan to ask questions from east to west.

  "What is the name of the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin? How long have you been here? Zhou Nan shifted his attention to the two envoys of the Kingdom of Jin.

  "The envoy of the Jin Kingdom was received by his colleagues in Xia, and he did not know his name, but he only knew that he had been here for about ten days. At first, he lived in the Banjing Pavilion outside the city, and he was quite honest at first. Later, I heard out of nowhere that the Liao division had a special post house in the inner city, and the two Jin people also made a noise about having a post house in the inner city, otherwise they would return to the court immediately. There was no way, so I had to arrange for them to live in the Duting West Station. It is the north of the capital pavilion where the noble envoy lives, across the street. The man complained for his colleagues.

  "Then these two days have been born, right?" Zhou Nan asked with a smile.

  "Ansheng? Don't think again! Tongshi Sheren was even more angry, "These two Jin people saw that there was an envoy from the Xixia Kingdom in the Duting Xiyi, and they had to drive the envoy of the Xixia Kingdom out, and the envoy of the Xixia Kingdom was not in a good temper, and the two rooms almost fought in the courtyard. ”

  "So what happened in the end?" Zhou Nan wanted to know who had swollen whose eyes in the end.

  "In the end? Hum! The Sifang Pavilion had no choice but to report to the imperial court. Or the prince has a way, the craftsmen in the palace, within half a day, the Duting West Post is separated by a wall, the Duting West Post is divided into two places, each has its own gate, and specially inscribed the Xixia Pavilion and the Jinguo Pavilion on it, which is the end. The messenger sighed.

  "Hahaha! Wang Xianggong is a good mud - by the way, which one is Wang Xianggong? Can you be in the main hall today? Zhou Nan asked with a laugh. The one who can be called a prince is naturally the minister in the court.

  "Your envoy didn't know Wang Xianggong, no wonder he dared to contradict Wang Xianggong in the main hall today. The one who reads the gift list, the one with golden hair and golden eyes, is Wang Xianggong, Chu Guogong, Wang Huang Wang Xianggong. ”

  "It was him! No wonder! Zhou Nan snorted coldly. This Wang Huang, he naturally knew that it was Wang Huang who gave the idea to Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, and detained the family of Yang Keshi and others. Wang Hao naturally knew that it was he Zhou Nan who led people to kidnap King Yun and ruined their good deeds. It seems that this trip to Bianjing will not be so smooth.
