King Rencheng saw that Pei Zhaoming shifted the topic from the issue of building city defenses in Hanzhong to the Yang family, and of course he did not have a good impression of the Yang family's Great Wei, but the Yang family was mainly responsible for the Southern Dynasty, and the Liu family destroyed Qiu Chi because Qiu Chi wanted to use the power of Great Wei to get rid of Liu's influence. Today's Yang family is no longer the Qiu Chi Yang family of the year, and keeping the Yang family can also leave a hidden danger for the Southern Dynasty, because the Yang family knows very well that the Southern Dynasty will never really support them, and the geographical east and south directions where they are located are the ruling areas of the Southern Dynasty, and the Great Wei is only their northern neighbor, which determines that the Yang family will not really surrender to the Southern Dynasty, and it will inevitably conflict with the Southern Dynasty in the long run.

"The matter of the Yang clan has nothing to do with today's discussion, if the southern envoy wants to destroy the Yang clan, he can go back and ask your lord. What we are talking about today is the matter of your country building more city defenses and increasing the number of troops, which has made our country uneasy, and I also ask your envoy to report to your lord after returning to China, hoping that your country will be able to withdraw the additional troops on the basis of peace, so that our soldiers can also sleep in peace. ”

When Pei Zhaoming heard Tuoba Cheng's words, his heart was on fire, he stood up and glared at Tuoba Cheng angrily and said: "Your Highness is really unreasonable to interfere in the politics of other countries like this. His Royal Highness said this, invading my Qi government too much, Zhaoming can speak directly on behalf of my monarch today, and the matter of withdrawing troops and reducing generals is absolutely impossible!! ”

The emperor saw that Pei Zhaoming was anxious, waved his hand and asked King Rencheng, who was about to continue speaking, not to speak first, looked at Pei Zhaoming and said, "Why should the southern envoy be like this, and sit down and say." ”

Pei Zhaoming sat down and said to the emperor: "Qi and Wei have been in harmony for nearly ten years, and it is rare since the Song Dynasty, so this festival should be continued." As the king of your country said, the foreign envoy really can't receive the order. ”

"Uncle I have been in Fangzhen for a long time, and the military and political affairs of Liangzhou are complicated here. How can Uncle I not be on fire. Your country wants to strictly control the Qiang, I don't dare to say anything, but if the requisition is uncontrolled, it will only make the two countries suspicious of each other, but I am afraid that the Yang family will not be chaotic, and the beacon will rise in Hanzhong first, and the war will be easy to start and difficult to collect, how can it be a lack of people's will? This section of the southern envoy can not help but think. ”

Pei Zhaoming saw that the emperor of the Northern Dynasty was polite, but he still did not give up asking the court to reduce the army, and threatened with war. Of course, he didn't dare to wave his sleeves and scold the emperor like he had just done to King Ren Cheng, otherwise it would really be a bad thing, so he pondered for a while and said: "Such a military matter, how can a foreign minister be the master?" Your Majesty is forcing the foreign minister to death, and the foreign minister does not dare to deceive Your Majesty here. If Your Majesty has the heart, you can send an envoy to Jiangzuo with the foreign ministers, and present your Majesty in front of you. ”

。。。。。。。

After Tuoba Shen left from Pei Zhaoming, he waited for the emperor and the ministers to discuss for half an hour in the Huangxin Hall, and finally made a decision before leaving the Huangxin Hall with the King of Xianyang, he wanted to go to the Nanqi Hall with the King of Xianyang, and the emperor had to go back to the Taihua Hall to continue the morning court meeting.

Out of the Huangxin Hall, Tuoba Shen remembered that Lu Guang didn't follow, looked left and right, and didn't see Lu Guang's shadow, thinking that he didn't keep up and was still in the Taihua Palace, and had the intention to go to the Taihua Hall to see, but now it's too late, and he still has to go to the Nanqi Pavilion, so he had to dispel this idea and follow the King of Xianyang to the car door.

When I got to the stop door, I saw Lu Guang staying not far from the door. It turned out that Lu Guang didn't know that the emperor was gone until he saw the Taiguan Office sending porridge to the court officials outside the Taihua Palace, but if he wanted to keep up, it was too late, and he didn't know where the emperor was going, so he had to wait for Tuoba Shen at the car gate first.

Outside the door of the car is the seat of the Cao official office of the provincial ministry, and the car of the king of Xianyang is not here, but at the main gate of this government concentration area, and it is also outside the end gate of the south of the car gate. Today, Tuoba Shen is accompanying the King of Xianyang out of tolerance, just in the car of the King of Xianyang, like the King of Xianyang, there are guards of honor that match their titles, and there are a lot of people, but it is used for patrols, and it is usually not needed, this is the capital, it is not so chaotic, so the daily travel is to bring dozens of palace guards.

He and the king of Xianyang went out of the gate to drive, and ordered Lu Guang to go to the side of the auxiliary car, and the convoy went directly to the Nanqi Pavilion.

Since Pei Zhaoming and Xie Jun left the palace, they returned to the Southern Qi Pavilion, remembering that they had just been unreasonably accused by the Northern Dynasty in the palace, and they couldn't help but be indignant, both angry at the unreasonableness of the Northern Dynasty, and worried that the emperor of the Northern Dynasty would suddenly turn his face and detain them, so they found a few deputies to discuss together, and finally found that they couldn't do anything now, maybe now the outside of the hall had been monitored, so they had to sit in the main hall and wait for the envoy of the Northern Dynasty Emperor, or maybe a soldier.

It wasn't until the middle of the time that the guard came in and said that the King of Xianyang of the Northern Dynasty was coming, Pei Zhaoming was relieved, since it was the King of Xianyang and not the Yulin Army, it meant that the matter was not bad to that point, so he immediately took four colleagues out of the hotel, and saw the King of Xianyang and His Royal Highness the Second Prince of the Northern Dynasty standing by the car on the road.

Tuoba Shen saw Pei Zhaoming coming out in a hurry with a few subordinates, obviously frightened, anxious to know what the emperor meant. It is not surprising that anyone who encounters an unpredictable future or even punishment and death will be afraid.

"Your Highness must have brought good news here, and I would like to invite Your Highness to enter the museum."

King Xianyang smiled implicitly, nodded and entered the hall. After the guests and hosts sat down, King Xianyang smiled and said, "Your Majesty has issued an order to send the envoy out of the city with Gu and the imperial nephew. ”

A hint of joy flashed in Pei Zhaoming's eyes, he was finally able to get out of the city safely, and he was a little excited at this moment. The messenger is not so easy to do, and there will naturally be a reward if you go back after completing the task, but when you are unlucky, your life will be in danger.

。。。。。。

Out of the city, sitting in the car of the King of Xianyang, Tuoba Shen looked at the convoy of Pei Zhaoming and other ambassadors of the southern envoys, these carriages were bulging, it is estimated that they bought a lot of things, maybe a lot of expensive animal skins in Jiankang and commercial goods from the Western Regions and even Persia, the missions in previous years liked to buy some goods that could go back and make a lot of money, especially the best furs.

The animal husbandry in this dynasty is very developed, and all kinds of furs in the treasury are piled up, so the selling price is much lower than that of the Southern Dynasty. This kind of extraneous thing is now as common as the public expense of later generations to investigate Europe and the United States, not only the people of the Southern Dynasty came to Pingcheng to do this, but also the envoys of this dynasty went to Jiankang, so being an envoy is sometimes a very sought-after task.

After going out of the city, I walked ten miles, and arrived at the post station, which was a post station set up by the state, and some envoys sent envoys or ministers who went home to get permission could also use the chariots and horses along the way to eat and drink.

The convoy stopped, everyone got out of the car, and the king of Xianyang looked at the dense dead trees and grass in the distance and the melting ice, and said to Pei Zhaoming: "The southern envoy has come here after three months, and now it is the cold winter season. ”

"Where, Pei has been away from home for a few months, he is very worried in his heart, and his mother is nearly sixty years old. When it is close to the wax moon, Zhaoming can not serve the bedside because of the king's affairs, although it is his duty, he often regrets it in his heart, and he really wishes that he can see the river tomorrow, and he can taste a bite of the fish made by the old mother the day after tomorrow. There were tears in his eyes as he spoke.

When King Xianyang heard this, he also sighed: "Is it not just the love that the public can't be a filial son? Xi didn't sigh and hated it. Xi went to Xindu with the country's life, but his mother's body has been sick for several years, so he can't go together, Xi can only report to the messenger in Xindu from time to time, and I'm really ashamed to think about it! ”

Tuoba Shen listened to the words of King Xianyang and Pei Zhaoming, and couldn't help but think of his mother.

Are you not happier than I am?

Shaking his head, he dispelled these thoughts, took out the emperor's letter, and said: "Pei envoy, this is a letter from my father and the lord of your country, and I ask the envoy to accept it carefully and pay tribute to the lord of your country." He held the letter in both hands.

Pei Zhaoming was stunned for a moment, and after coming back to his senses, he also bent down, took the letter respectfully with both hands and said: "The foreign envoy will definitely live up to the trust of Your Majesty, and personally present it to Your Majesty." ”

"Will Pei Gong come to Pingcheng next year?"

"The foreign envoy doesn't know if he can come again, what does His Highness command?"

"Although Shen was born in the northern country, he yearns for the romance of Jiangzuo characters, and often hates not to look up to Wang Xie Gaofeng, if Pei Gong can come again, can he go to Wang Xie's mansion and ask for a gift from one or two kings and two princes, then he is not very nostalgic!"

Pei Zhaoming thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect Tuoba Shen to want Wang Xizhi and Xie An's relics. Wang Xie's relics are also good things that everyone wants in Jiangzuo, and ordinary people are not so easy to ask for, but this is the prince of the northern country, and because he admires Wang Xie's two clans, he asks for relics, which is a romantic and elegant thing in the eyes of the people of the time. When Murong Chui was a child, he also asked someone to send the young Xie An White Wolf, and this matter has always been regarded as a beautiful talk by Jiang Zuo. Wang Xie Gaomen is elegant, and he will not refuse.

"His Royal Highness is quite virtuous, and Wang Xie will not disappoint His Highness. After the foreign envoy returns to China, he must go to Wuyi Lane to have a look. ”

"Thank you Pei Gong!" Tuoba saluted respectfully

Wang Xie's things are not absent in the palace, but it is not his, if he can get the original shares in Wang Xie's family that there is no outflow, it is much more valuable than the palace ones. Ay! It's a pity that "Lanting Collection Preface" is impossible to get.

After Pei Zhaoming returned the salute, he looked at Tuoba Shen, who was almost four feet tall, and remembered what Cao Mengde said back then, "Giving birth to a son should be like Sun Zhongmou". His heart moved, and he said: "Zhaoming said goodbye to Pingcheng today and returned to the south, can His Highness have a word to send off?" ”

Tuoba Shen didn't expect Pei Zhaoming to ask him to give a parting message, thinking that he had just asked someone to help, how could he turn around and not give face?

I thought about it in my heart, and thought of a sentence that was in line with the current situation, and suddenly remembered what Pei Zhaoming said just now, there happened to be a poem that was not publicized, but also in line with the current scene.

"Shen has a poem, and I want to give it to Pei Gong."

"The line in the mother's hand, the wanderer's shirt.

Before leaving, I am afraid that I will return late.

Whoever says an inch is careless, and he will be rewarded with three springs. ”
