[The first update, the next one, please watch it tomorrow morning.] 】

Xiao Xi looked at the seat coldly.

It's not that the food and drinks at the banquet are bad. When it comes to the level of food and drink, the Liao State cannot be compared with the Great Song Dynasty, and the difference is thousands of miles away.

It's not that singing and dancing are bad. Although it is very different from the style of the Northland, the performance of the Teaching Workshop Division is also different.

When Xiao Xi was an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty in the past, he attended many state banquets and was very clear about this. Although today's feast has not yet begun, it will certainly not be inferior to the past, and perhaps it will be better.

It's just that there is a problem with the chairman and the chaperone.

Lu Huiqing, Han Gang, and Guo Kui.

The three commanders who had presided over the war against Liao happened to be in Beijing, and one of them was sent to the banquet.

According to the practice of the Song and Liao countries, the state banquet of the messengers of the country will be attended by the Son of Heaven. However, in the past few years, in the name of the young son of heaven, Yelu Yixin has come forward in the north. And this time, Da Song can just return to color.

It is inconvenient for the chairman to be a woman, and it is even more impossible for Zhao Xu. The prime minister should be in charge next, but he mentioned Lu Huiqing's name to the queen. Then let Han Gang and Guo Kui accompany them.

It's just that the two Xuanhui envoys of the Great Song Dynasty and the Privy Council of the Signatories are not as good as a great Liao Shangfu His Royal Highness. Based on the principle of diplomatic reciprocity, it is a complete humiliation for the Great Song Dynasty to do so.

Xiao Xi only glanced twice in front of the table, and when he saw that none of the two prime ministers of the Great Song Dynasty had arrived, his face changed when he arrived, and he asked Lu Huiqing and Han Gang sharply: "The official family of your country has changed, don't you even understand the etiquette?!" When the envoy of the Southern Dynasty arrives in our country, the Son of Heaven will give a banquet, and the father will come forward to serve as the chairman to celebrate the birthday of the emperor of your country. Today, I came here for a state banquet in the sea, and I didn't see the emperor and the queen of your country, but even the prime minister didn't come forward, is your country planning to break the alliance and abandon the contract?! ”

Lu Huiqing took half a step forward and said coldly: "Come and don't be rude." The goodwill between the north and the south is not easy to come by, but since your country intends to abolish the new alliance, the two families will not be happy, and the country can only have one to pay one, and two to compensate two. ”

"The articles and paragraphs of the new covenant should be remembered by the sea, and the privy should also be remembered. Dare to ask the privy councillor, which one of the broken ones in the country has been broken? Xiao Xi suddenly made a sudden move, "Ah, I forgot in the sea, the privy councillor has been demoted to a Xuanhui envoy, probably state affairs are not clear." ”

Lu Huiqing didn't hear it: "Since the founding of the country, Goryeo has been a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty, and in the second year of Xiande, he has sent envoys to pay tribute. Wang Hui, the king of Goryeo, was also the imperial Song Dynasty's inspector Taifu, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Xuansu Prefecture Governor, Dashun Military Envoy, and Tuicheng Hue Baoyi Hero. Your country attacked my vassals and killed my Song Chen, and you dare to say that you have never broken the alliance with you?! ”

"Goryeo was a minister of my Great Liao, and it was nearly two hundred years before the second year of Xiandeok. After Wang Hui led the country, he became more and more rebellious, and the country was not subordinate, and there was a reason for it, and the teacher was famous. This is my own family affair! Xiao Xi sneered again, "In the past two hundred years, Goryeo has had many acts of rebellion, and the country has also sent troops to punish it many times. Now this is the fourth time! Today, Xuanhui came to ask about the crime, I don't know who did your country send to ask the first three times? ”

"Before Xining, Goryeo Gong had dropped out for decades, and even if he knew that it was attacked by your country, he did not send troops in a name. Now Wang Hui has rebuilt the tribute, and has been canonized by our emperor Song and reinstated as a Song minister. I have to ask! ”

"Goryeo is from Liao today, from Song tomorrow, and from Liao and Song the day after tomorrow, I don't know loyalty, but the governor is big, and your country still can't cover up such repeated ministers?"

Xiao Xi's tone softened after all. Han Gang saw clearly from the side, if he insisted that Goryeo was a Liao minister, and the lord punished the vassals and could not allow outsiders to intervene, he would be ready to be tough to the end. Now what is said to be repeated and retained, it is tantamount to admitting that Goryeo once called the Great Song Dynasty. And now it is the Great Song Dynasty that has not been counted well, and it has been pulled to Goryeo. After all, I didn't dare to walk away.

Xiao Xi didn't dare to leave now, so he could only debate with Lu Huiqing. In the past, a small amount of etiquette was a good excuse for extortion. But now the Great Liao State behind him is not as powerful as the thriving Southern Dynasties. I wanted to leave, but I didn't dare to be so decisive. If the Song people really send him back, it will be all over. Yelu Yixin would never raise troops at this time, not even threaten.

Xiao Xi's attitude softened, how could Lu Huiqing not hear it, and sneered: "If there is a recurrence in Gaoli, it should also be punished by the Great Song Dynasty, and there is no need for outsiders to do it." ”

Lu Huiqing's attitude was too tough, so that Xiao Xi had nowhere to retreat, and his attitude became tough again: "As Xuanhui said, Gaoli is a Liao minister, and it has been repeated, and it is just for me to deal with it!" ”

Xiao Xi and Lu Huiqing were on top like bullfighting. At a good state banquet, there shouldn't be such a situation at all. The ceremonial officials were stunned, but the imperial historian, who was supposed to be in charge, did not dare to interject indiscriminately, for fear of ruining national affairs. None of the officials attending the meeting dared to speak.

Han Gang sighed and stepped forward: "Goryeo is a vassal of the Emperor and Song Dynasty, and the imperial court will not recognize your country's invasion of Goryeo. If the Northern Dynasty intends to annex in the name of punishment, then the Emperor and Song can only be the masters of the vassal state, with the righteousness of the whole lord! ”

Obviously an errand that had nothing to do with him suddenly fell on his head, of course Han Gang was not happy, what did he do with this idle mouth? But Lu Huiqing and Guo Kui are all next, and it is not appropriate for them not to take it. Now that I'm here, I have to get things done.

"Oh?" Hearing Han Gang interject, Xiao Xi was relieved, took a step back, turned around and asked Han Gang: "According to Han Xuanhui's intentions, as long as the country does not annex Goryeo, your country will not interfere?" ”

"Of course not." Han Gang said as a matter of course, "Goryeo's claim to the Emperor Song has not changed, the vassal country is in trouble, and the Emperor Song must of course help it within the scope of his ability." ”

"What is within reach?"

"That depends on the sincerity of your country."

When Han Gang spoke, everyone was shocked, and even Guo Kui stared at a pair of eyes, dignified, and even bargained, as if he could sell anything. But he was not ashamed in the slightest.

Although the Liao State is large, it is just a barbarian. With Han Gang's new interpretation of Huayi, he will not pay attention to any etiquette for barbarians. The genus of birds and beasts, if you want to ask for a courtesy like a human, you have to be reborn as a human first. Yuwen Wang, Xinglile; In the event of a trouble, the war will be moved. Han Gang had a full and complete excuse to give Yuan back what he said.

In fact, the most important thing is that Liao is an enemy country, and the more it can suppress the enemy country, the more prestigious it will be. As for such corrupt words, there will be no sense of recognition among the people.

"What kind of sincerity do you want?" Xiao Xi asked in a deep voice.

"Withdraw troops from Goryeo and restore the Goryeo royal family."

It's simply not possible! But Xiao Xi knew that this was just a bargain, "The sincerity that Xuanhui wants, the country may not be able to give ......"

"yes. Your father is loyal to the country, and he will do his best in the future, and he will die after death, and he doesn't need to be afraid of my Great Song Dynasty! Han Gang's eyes were like knives, but he didn't give in at all.

What Yelu Yixin wants to do most now is already like Sima Zhao, and everyone knows it. There is a 1 in 100 million possibility, he wants to be a pure minister, but once he dies as a courtier, the family will not want to keep it, and the opponents who have been suppressed by him for many years will inevitably break out, and it is a trivial matter to wipe out the whole clan, and it is not impossible to send a coffin and kill the corpse. And Yelu Yixin's henchmen will end miserably one by one, and there will be no good results. With their lives at stake, they forced Yelu Yixin to be the emperor.

And Yelu Yixin usurped the throne, and the reaction of the Great Song was the most critical. The country has long been purged and suppressed by him, but as long as there is a little remnant of the sins, after getting the support of the Song people, it is not impossible to completely turn over. What's more, the Song people still have the option of sending troops directly. Nominally, this branch passed down from Emperor Shengzong is a very close relative. If you send troops in the name of revenge for your uncle, uncle, and brother, how many troops will be gathered under the banner of Song Zi?

Although Yelu Yixin never said it explicitly, Xiao Xi knew very well that only in this matter he had to try to keep Song Guo from interfering. Whether it is to make the Song people feel jealous, or to make the Song people make plans to wait and see, how long can it be delayed. The Song people must be stopped.

But this breath, how can Xiao Xi swallow it, he is an envoy, not only has he been to the Great Song Dynasty, but he has been to many homes in hundreds of countries in the Great Liao, how can anyone dare to give him anger? Even now, the Song Liao State has reversed, but as long as the Khitan Iron Cavalry is still there, why should he be afraid of the Song State?

Xuanhui laughed. Xiao Xi gritted his teeth and paused word by word, "After I established my own country, I destroyed countless countries and slaughtered millions of people, who have I ever feared?" No matter who is the lord of the Great Liao, even if the army is in front, there will be no timidity! ”

Han Gang smiled slightly, he said the opposite, but Xiao Xi replied with straight words, which showed the wavering in his heart.

"The ambassador must have heard something wrong." Lu Huiqing snorted, "Only then can Han Xuanhui be a father in your country, loyal to the country, and have nothing to fear." ”

Xiao Xi's face suddenly turned red, and then turned blue again, and he was speechless for a while.

It's a pity for Xiao Xi, Han Gang sighed secretly.

Who made Xiao Xi a selfish Yelu Yixin behind him? If he was the upright Lord of Da Liao behind him, with Xiao Xi's level, he would not make such a big mistake. Even if you are tough to the end, you will not be punished when you go back. But who made Yelu Yixin want to be a usurper and rebel?

"Ambassador, let's take a seat first. If you have something to say, you can speak slowly at the table. ”

"After all, the two countries are fraternal states, and we can't quarrel over trivial matters as if they want to break the alliance."

Lu Huiqing and Han Gang sang together and forced Xiao Xi to sit down, just like Xiao Xi forced Zhao Ji to sign the covenant to cede the land.

Xiao Xi was silent for a moment, his blue face returned to normal after the most palpitation, and smiled at Han Gang: "Han Xuanhui is famous in the country, and he is a Buddha for ten thousand families, and how many people have set up an immortal tablet for Xuanhui." Even if there is an invitation, the sea does not dare to resign. ”

'Pathetic! ’

Han Gang and Lu Huiqing sighed at the same time in their hearts, can the dignified envoy of the Liao State only make a fuss about sowing discord?

If the face is occupied, the lining will be repaid a little. Lu Huiqing thought that in the matter of Liao's annexation of Goryeo, how much could he make Xiao Xi go back to deal with him, and it would not hurt China's face.
