Liu Qingqing, who is only fourteen or fifteen years old now, is still a little-known little palace maid in the harem of the Great Song Dynasty, but Yang Huairen knows that after Zhao Xu abolishes Empress Meng in the future, she will be the Empress Zhaohuai.

We all know that all dynasties and dynasties have a rule that the harem shall not interfere in politics, but unfortunately women in this world live longer than men, and when the emperor is in the prime of life, perhaps this rule is more reliable, and more often, the women in the harem are the core of power.

Liu Qingqing is so old that he is favored by Zhao Xu, and if he says a few words to please Zhao Xu, he will naturally not be able to get to the point of interfering in politics in the harem.

It's just that she may have said it casually, but Zhao Xu listened to it, and actually listened to it, and took it seriously, that's another matter.

Yang Huairen said Zhao Xu, Zhao Xu, you are also an adult, and you haven't seen a woman before, why are you so soft-eared? She Liu Qingqing is just a little palace maid, and you really take what she says seriously.

The diplomacy of the Great Song Dynasty had special officials, the Ministry of Rites had a department specializing in foreign affairs, and there was also a Honglu Temple that specialized in receiving foreign missions.

And Liu Qingqing suddenly mentioned that he handed over a diplomatic matter to Yang Huairen to deal with, perhaps he had heard of Yang Huairen's name from those good things in the palace who liked to chew their tongues.

Although he doesn't go to court and doesn't have much actual official position and authority, she feels that since Zhao Xu values this person very much, it will always make Zhao Xu happy to hand over the things that others find very tricky to this Yang Huairen and let him deal with them.

How can you say that the red face is a disaster, Zhao Xu's confidante splashed a basin of disaster water on Yang Huairen.

Yang Huairen couldn't say anything about the bitterness in his heart, so he could only take this basin of water that he didn't know if it was clean or not, and then it was messy in the cold wind of late autumn.

It is not the first time for Yang Huairen to deal with the diplomatic affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, but every time he deals with such a thing, he always uses an alternative and unbelievable way, in his own words, that is, he does not play cards according to common sense.

bought yaks, which caused internal strife in Tibet; A medicinal recipe full of nonsense allowed the Khitans to oppress women, and made them start the struggle against Khitan rule ten years in advance.

The most important point is that in the past ten years, he is the only one who has really fought with foreign clans in Fanbang, Yang Huairen.

It seems that in the eyes of some people, dealing with those Fanbang Hu people is what Yang Huairen is good at, whether he moves soldiers and horses, or does not move a single soldier, he has never let the Great Song Dynasty suffer in this regard.

Dali came to two tributary missions, even if the court just figured out what was going on, but no one had the courage to say which one could really represent Dali.

According to common sense, it is natural that the mission sent by Duan Zhengming, the current head of Dali, should be regarded as the orthodox Dali mission, and the person sent by Gao Shengtai seems to be a bit unjustifiable.

But no one can say this kind of thing, what if this Gao Shengtai takes his place and becomes the new lord of Dali? Will he resent the disrespect that Great Song had sent to him?

Zhao Xu's attitude illustrates the difficulty of the problem, for a small barbarian country like Dali, the Great Song Dynasty is a bit inappropriate, there is no dispute, let alone interest entanglement, usually as a good neighbor to get along with, nodding friends.

As for who is the lord of this small country in Fanbang, it is not a matter of concern to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter whether the Dali Kingdom is surnamed Duan or Gao, as long as they don't cause trouble for the Great Song Dynasty, they come to pay tribute every year to express their respect for the Great Song Dynasty.

Their dynastic change, the Great Song Dynasty will not interfere by force, let alone make irresponsible remarks about their new masters.

The current situation is that the two Dali missions came, and they all said that they were authentic missions, and Honglu Temple did not dare to wait slowly, so they had to be received and lived in the guest house of Honglu Temple.

It is said that they are all guests, but there is no reason for two groups of guests to come to one house, and neither of them obeys the other, and no one acknowledges the other, which makes it difficult for the host who receives them.

It's not that this issue hasn't been discussed in the court, and what the bigwigs of the court care about is not who has the final say in Dali, but about the image of the Great Song Dynasty in the minds of those surrounding Fanbang effects, and whether it has the demeanor that a state of etiquette should have.

The court's views on this time were also completely different, as if they were divided into two factions.

One faction believes that the status of the Dali Duan clan as the lord of the Dali State for more than 100 years should be recognized, and that Duan Zhengming's mission is the authentic mission of Dali, and that Dali Buxie Gao Shengtai, a person who intends to conspire to seize the throne of the Duan clan, should be regarded as a thief, and everyone should be punished, and he should not receive the delegation sent by him at all.

But the other faction believes that the Great Song Dynasty should not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, Dali is located in the southwest of the remote wilderness, people may have a set of norms and rules, if the slow treatment of Gao Shengtai's mission, join the future he will become the lord of Dali, the diplomatic relations between the Great Song Dynasty and Dali will not be as harmonious as before.

Moreover, in the southwest of the Great Song Dynasty, there are also many small tribes living in the mountains and mountains, and some of them live together with the Han people, and the policy of the Great Song Dynasty has always been not to interfere in the internal affairs of their tribes, as long as they do not cause chaos to the good sound.

In fact, there is not much room for argument between the two factions, because the current situation of Dali is not very clear in the city of Tokyo, thousands of miles away, and the distance is too far away.

Even if you send someone to investigate now, it will be troublesome enough to come and go, and when there is definite news, it may be a few months.

At that time, if an appropriate response is made, it seems that it is easy to think that the Great Song Dynasty is suspected of seeing the wind and steering the rudder.

Zhao Xu also knows that there is no trivial matter in foreign affairs, even if Dali has always been not a threat to the Great Song Dynasty, but now the threat of the Great Liao and Western Xia in the north to the Great Song Dynasty seems to be greater, and Zhao Xu does not want to see any more chaos in the southwest.

Since Zhao Xu mentioned this matter in front of Yang Huairen, there was no room for Yang Huairen to excuse himself.

Not long after Zhao Xu returned to imperial power, the court experienced another major change in personnel, and there were too few people he could trust and use.

The matter of the two Dali missions is neither big nor small, Zhao Xu really doesn't have the extra energy and manpower to deal with it, thinking about it, what Liu Qingqing said also makes a little sense, it is better to leave it to Yang Huairen, an idler and a capable person.

Yang Huairen could only sigh in his heart, although he really wanted to be a father at home to serve the confinement and take care of the child, but since Zhao Xu had spoken, he could only agree, and he would take another trip to see the scenery.
