The ancient Honglu Temple is somewhat similar to the embassy of later generations, where not only the envoys sent by the forces of various countries in the world gathered, but of course, there are many bastards who come to cheat and cheat.

The so-called bastards are many small tribes with only a few dozen people, who take the name of a country at random for the convenience of travel and then live in the Honglu Temple. At first, it was just for the convenience of travel and business, but later these people found that most of the officials in the Central Plains turned a blind eye to this, and there were already several groups of people who lied that they were Uighur envoys, but these officials not only ignored them, but also helped to fulfill the lie, but once they found out that they had a duplicate name, they had to change their names.

These bastards, of course, don't understand that this is just taking what they need. If not, where will all the nations come from?

The envoys of places such as Goryeo and Fuso, although they are nominally official envoys, but because of the long distance between the two countries and the inconvenience of travel, they are stationed in Honglu Temple all the year round and are not allowed to return to China. Therefore, Honglu Temple has become their nominal second home, and even many of them have experienced the change of dynasty of the Central Plains Dynasty.

And the only chance they can return home is to wait for the next group of envoys to come.

Because of the inconvenient transportation and closed information in ancient times, these envoys, except for participating in some ceremonies in the country, actually had no role at all. When there is a real need for communication between the two countries, they often send envoys, so they become another kind of nominal bastard.

Therefore, they are all envoys, but the courtesies they receive are completely different, countries like Liao, Li Tang, and Houshu are arranged in separate courtyards, and some envoys of minority groups can only live in guest rooms similar to inns.

"Wenjue, the Khitan envoy we are going to visit now is Yelujing, the brother of Liao Emperor Yelujing. He has a burst temper and an impulsive temperament, so he must pay attention to the tone and words of his speech. Although Emperor Shi Jingjiao has already declared himself a vassal to the Khitan, but my Great Song Dynasty is newly built, whether this relationship will continue to be maintained remains to be discussed in the future, so our attitude should be neither humble nor arrogant........"

Wen Qihang is now a well-known fool in the court, and now the two are bumping together, Tao Gu is really a bit big, for fear that Wen Qihang will not pay attention and anger the Liao envoys, so that the two countries will fight each other. After all, the current Zhao Song is only newly built, and neither strength nor family background can compete with the Liao State. So in order to avoid a conflict between the two, Tao Gu had to take some precautions with the professor who had to hang out.

"It's all called Jerryching! This guy seems to be trying to rebel! Wen Qihang said in surprise. For Tao Gu's nagging, Wen Qihang couldn't listen to it anymore, so he interrupted it.

If the words of "........" are heard by Yelujing, he must find and smell them and set sail desperately! Tao Gu took a deep breath and explained, "Wen Jue is cautious! This respect is not the meaning of the other, but the meaning of respect and awe. ”

"The former Tang Emperor's surname was Li, and the people wanted to avoid the emperor's surname, but they didn't even dare to eat carp! What kind of Yelu Jing is this, he dares to have the same name as the emperor! Tsk, I think this is Sima Zhao's heart! Wen Qihang smacked his lips.

"........" Tao Gu raised his forehead and lamented: "Wenjue, they are just some foreign barbarians, and they don't follow my Chinese etiquette, Wenjue doesn't have to be too serious about this matter." ”

"Okay then, but is it appropriate for you to call them barbarians so openly?" Wen Qihang grinned.

“........”

"I wonder if Tao Guanren has heard the five principles of peaceful coexistence mentioned by Xia Guan?" Seeing that Tao Gu was choked and unable to speak, Wen Qihang asked with a smile.

"Hearing the high arguments, this official has naturally heard of it." Tao Gu said with a sigh of relief.

"That's great." Wen Qihang said happily: "Xia Guan thinks that the exchanges between countries are actually similar to the exchanges between people. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Tao Gu was surprised.

"Tao Guanren, you see, the interaction between people is about love and fate, right? Therefore, the exchanges between countries should also be the same. Although the Khitan is now in full swing, after all, it has no precedent with our dynasty, and the other is ruthless, so if you first visit the Khitan envoys, it will seem that our dynasty has a kind of ........ The feeling of hugging the thighs, is there wood? Wen Qihang smacked his lips.

........ "Everyone knows it's about hugging their thighs, but they don't need to say it!"

"During the New Year's holidays, we all go to worship the elders first. When visiting relatives and friends, we all contact acquaintances and friends first, and this order is also suitable for exchanges between countries. Only in this way will it appear that we are neither humble nor arrogant. "Smell the sail is the right color.

"Wen Jue........ That makes sense, then Wen Jue thinks we should go and visit the envoys of that country first? Tao Gu groaned.

"Looking at the forces of all countries in the world, the person who has the closest relationship with our dynasty now is Li Tang! Therefore, Xia Guan thinks that it is in line with my reputation as a state of etiquette in China to visit the envoy of Li Tang first. "Smell the sail is the right color.

"........ "This is a naked hug of the thighs, okay!" Who doesn't know that Li Tang's envoy Zhou Zong is about to become your father-in-law.

"What do Tao officials think?" Wen Qihang asked.

"........" feelings have been talked about for a long time, just to go to see his father-in-law first. Tao Gu was quite speechless and said: "Since Wenjue has made up his mind, let's handle it according to this." ”

"Tao Guanren is really a person who values love and righteousness, please!" Smell the sail and signal Tao Valley to lead the way.

"........" Tao Gu sighed lightly in his heart, and had no choice but to go ahead to lead the way.

A man who dared to insult two important ministers of the court in front of the emperor and in front of the envoys of the whole world without any scruples, and forced them to vomit blood three liters. Such a bastard is not stingy, if he doesn't follow his ideas today, maybe there will be some kind of moth.

"Wen Jue, this is the residence of Li Tang's envoy Zhou Zong, although there is a marriage relationship between the two countries now, but the actual situation, I believe that Wen Jue must be more clear than this official. Therefore, if it is superfluous, the official will not say it, and Wen Jue will grasp it himself. "Wen Qihang led him to the courtyard of Li Tang's envoy Zhou Zong, Tao Gu confessed.

"Tao Guanren can rest assured that even if the lower official said the wrong thing, will Li Tang still hold the lower official accountable, after all, the lower official's ability to lead the army is still quite good. What's more, breaking bones and connecting tendons, no matter how you say that the lower officials are all Li Tang's sons-in-law, aren't they! Wen Qihang said with a smile.

"........ "This is a scoundrel!" I just said that the five principles of peaceful coexistence should be followed between countries, and if you can't beat it, you can abide by it, and if you can beat it, you can ignore it.
