The matter of the envoy of the Jin State to meet His Majesty naturally has some regulations. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Compared with the last time when he only held a banquet in the Shengping Building, now he can be seen in the Wende Palace, which shows that the Great Song Dynasty has indeed attached enough importance to the relationship with the Jin State, so Li Shanqing, the chief envoy of the Jin State, also made a great gift to the Zhao Guan's family according to the rules taught by the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

However, compared to him, the actions of one of his deputy envoys seemed to be more eye-catching, but seeing that the guy was about forty years old, his face was red and his ears were red and his whole body trembled when he saw the salute, and Huang Jie on the side saw it in his eyes, and he was afraid that this guy would burst his blood vessels on the spot if he was too excited.

Later, under the introduction of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, I learned that the main envoy of the Jin State was still Li Shanqing, and the two deputy envoys were a Jurchen Wanyan Zongliang and a Han Dong Hanchen. At the same time, everyone also learned that this Wanyan Zongliang is the second son of Wanyan Sagai, the current national theory of the Jin State Hulubo Jilie (equivalent to the Minister of State) Wanyan Sagai, and is also the younger brother of Wanyan Muhan (Zonghan), and the spy said that Wanyan Muhan (Zonghan), the eldest son of the gold lord Wanyan Agu, is actually the eldest son of Wanyan Sagai, and now he is the commander of the Western Route Army of Jinguo.

And this official Chinese name of Wanyan Sticky Han should be called Wanyan Zonghan.

As for Dong Hanchen, this guy was originally a small official of the Liao State, and later after being captured by the Jin people, he actually recommended himself to be reused, and because he knew Chinese, he was sent as a deputy envoy this time, and the name of this guy "Hanchen" was also specially changed before this mission, and the result actually attracted the unanimous favor of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

After His Majesty's meeting ceremony, Li Shanqing also got straight to the point, and said bluntly: "This time, we are in a hurry to come to the Song Kingdom, and what we have done is already in the national letter, and I just heard that the Liao people want to make peace with the Song Kingdom, I don't know if there is such a thing?" ”

Zhao Guanjia coughed and didn't answer, and Wang Hao on the side came to catch the knife: "Don't dare to hide it from the Jin envoy, just in front of the Liao envoy's palace, the Liao State wants to use the eldest princess of Liao to make peace with Song, but my majesty did not agree." ”

When Li Shanqing heard this, he was busy touching his forehead with his hand, showing a happy look, and he was busy and said: "Your Majesty, when Shanqing comes, I have the promise of my lord that I am willing to use the eldest princess to complete Yan Wulu and pro-Song Dynasty, in addition, I heard that Your Majesty has a lot of princes, and I am willing to marry with the second eldest princess Wanyan Puyu and the third princess Wanyan Ulema together." ”

As soon as he said this, the palace was in an uproar, and it was surprising enough for the Liao people to offer to send an eldest princess to the door and kiss him.

But at this moment, I saw Hu Yanqing, who was following the upper hall, take two steps forward and bowed: "The minister has something to do!" ”

Zhao Guan's family was naturally approved, and Hu Yanqing also looked at Li Shanqing and said: "When the minister was in the Huanglong Mansion, I heard that the eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Wulu, had already married Brother Ding, and Brother Ding died in the Liao State in the capital last year, and was killed by Yelu Zhangnu, and now the eldest princess is a new mourner, how can she make peace with the Great Song Dynasty?" Moreover, I heard that although the eldest princess is now childless, she is already in her twenties! ”

Hu Yanqing asked for such a revelation, which immediately caused an uproar, according to the unwritten rules of the Central Plains Dynasty, the princesses who choose this kind of thing are basically the yellow flower girls who have not yet come out of the cabinet, how can there be a widow to remarry? Moreover, the eldest princess of this Jin Kingdom is now twenty-three years old, and she can be regarded as an old woman!

I didn't know that Li Shanqing was not bad, so he actually nodded and said: "What General Huyan said is true, my eldest princess has indeed been married earlier, and she is indeed a newly mourned body, but according to my country's customs, a newly mourned woman only needs to keep filial piety for her deceased husband for a full moon to remarry." I heard that after the Song woman lost her husband, she can also remarry after three years of filial piety, and now my eldest princess has naturally already completed the period of filial piety. In addition, the second eldest princess and the third princess of our country are all complete and have not yet left the cabinet. ”

Li Shanqing can be selected as the envoy to the Song Dynasty, and there is naturally still goods in his belly, but just a few simple words also blocked everyone's mouths, this big Song Dynasty does not say that ordinary women can remarry after losing their husbands, even princesses remarry abound, naturally you can't say that there is anything wrong with Jin Guo taking a remarried eldest princess and relatives!

Moreover, in addition to the eldest princess, they also gave two yellow flower girl princesses as an addition, which is interesting enough, right?

Wang Huang on the side got the look of Zhao Guan's family, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know how old the second princess and the third princess of your country are?" ”

Li Shanqing also replied: "The second eldest princess is ten and four years old this year, and the third princess is ten and two years old. ”

Hearing that these two gifts were not over fifteen years old, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at such an age, it is still credible to say that they are perfect...... Wait, what's the point of studying this?

Zhao Guan's family thought about it, so they also came to look at the ministers in the palace, and they still came to look at them one by one, and they wanted to find the answer from their faces, but unfortunately the ministers were not in vain, who dared to express their position indiscriminately? So Zhao Guanjia still set his eyes on the old Cai Jing who was there on the side, so the old Cai Jing also continued to cough, and came forward again to say a cliché, but this matter is still related to the national system, and he will have three days to study and discuss and then reply.

Li Shanqing didn't dwell on it, anyway, the main tasks of his visit this time had already been written in the secret letter of state, and except for the matter of being close to each other, it seemed that everything else was not suitable for public discussion, so he also promised to retire.

After the Jin envoy and others retreated, Hu Yanqing, the deputy military attache, and Wang Gui, the deputy envoy, were left behind, and Zhao Guanjia personally came to ask what they saw in the Jin Kingdom. This time, the envoys sent by the Song court had a total of five chief and deputy envoys, of which Zhao Youkai was the chief envoy, Ma Zheng, Wang Gui, and Hu Yanqing were the deputy envoys, and now Zhao Youkai and Ma Zheng were stranded in Huining Mansion, the capital of the Jin State, and only Wang Gui and Hu Yanqing came back.

At the moment, Wang Gui was in charge of the government, and Hu Yanqing was in charge of the army, and they respectively gave a rough account of what they saw and heard in Jinguo, and Wang Gui came first, and then said: "...... This goes to Huanglong Mansion, the villages and cities along the way, are ten rooms and nine empty, even if there is a familiar land, they are all abandoned to be barren, the minister asked the Jin people why, said that they are not good at farming, and the minister also asked why not move the Liao people to cultivate, said that the Liao dogs should be killed, and it is difficult to prevent moving...... Arrived at the city of Huanglongfu, the minister looked at the dilapidated city wall, asked why he did not do repairs, and the Jin people replied that they were not good at earthwork, and what was the use of repairing, I was afraid that it would hinder the soldiers from fighting...... In the Huanglong Mansion, there is not one out of ten Liao people, and most of the people left are craftsmen or women, and there are no women, children, old and young...... The Jin people are brutal, regard the Liao people as pigs and dogs, and if they disobey, they will be killed in the street without committing a crime......"

Wang Gui is the son of Wang Shizhong, the prefect of Dengzhou, although he has not officially obtained fame, but listening to his narration is very organized, and he will tell the things that Jin Guo has seen one by one, although it is not easy to describe it with pictures and colors, but it also makes everyone creepy and shudder.

As for the matters reported by Hu Yanqing, it made the Great Song Junchen sigh for no reason, and Hu Yanqing said: "...... This went to the Jin country to see, the Jin people are tight, along the way did not see a large number of soldiers stationed in the city of Tunbao, is the Huanglong Mansion, the Jin army is stationed only a thousand people, and the Jin army wears more leather armor, less iron armor, horse clothes (vest), the weapons used are mostly cast iron, iron (steel) is rare, so the Jin soldiers like to use blunt weapons such as sticks or bones, in addition, the Jin army is short of war equipment, the per capita arrows are less than fifty, and there are also those who use bones and teeth as arrows. ”

In a word, the armament of the Jin army is very poor, compared to the Great Song Xiang army, which undoubtedly gives everyone in the palace a little confidence. (To be continued.) )
