Chapter 520: Tan Zhen

(Cat flutter Chinese) Hearing that Lotte was going to envoy to Western Xia, Wang Gou naturally did not pretend to be helpless and disappointed on his face.

If someone else sends an envoy to Xixia, it will definitely be able to come back alive with all the tails, but can Lotte do it, Lotte's hands are stained with the blood of the Tangut people, that is, the emperor of Xixia has the heart to protect Lotte's safety, and those civil and military generals and soldiers in Xixia are afraid that they are also eager to take Lotte's life.

Lotte motioned for Wang Goudang to sit down, and said while eating, "Has Wang Goudang ever had lunch?" If you haven't used it, you might as well eat it with Le. ”

Lotte said: "Le's envoy to Xia Guo is only a tentative matter, and it may not be able to make a trip. ”

Although there was no color on his face, Lotte had to be surprised in his heart by the Imperial City Division's ability to find out the news, although Wang Gou was not in the palace, he knew everything in the palace.

"Tan Guiren instructed the lower officials to meet the people in the gate of the Imperial Palace after lunch!" Wang Goudang glanced at the sky outside, "The time is almost up." ”

The Imperial Palace and the Jiying Hall are close to the Vertical Arch Palace, the Vertical Arch Hall is the place where the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty used every day, the Jiying Hall is used to test the trial of the human palace, and the Imperial Palace is the place where the palace drinks and feasts, to put it more clearly, it is the Xuanhui Auditorium, when the ordinary palace does not hold a banquet, the Imperial Palace is very rarely crowded, so it is not very eye-catching here.

The Northern Song Dynasty has a fine tradition of eunuchs serving as military generals, and among the eunuchs of the past dynasties, there are almost no eunuchs who can fight better than the eunuchs of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Signaling Lotte not to be polite, Tan Zhi smiled and said: "Don't be polite to Lord Le, this cripple of our family is only two times higher than Lord Le's official position, Lord Le is young and promising, and he is a saint, I am afraid that he will be able to pay equal respects to our family within ten years!" ”

Looking at Wang Goudang, Tan Zhi pointed at Lotte with an orchid and said with a smile: "Le Zhong is not only young and promising, but this mouth will please His Majesty even more, no wonder it will be a holy favor!" ”

"Tan Guiren laughed!" Lotte hurriedly put on a grievance and said: "If the lower official is a person who is full of sycophants and pleasing people, how can he still let that Taiwei speak in front of His Majesty, and go to the Xia country with many auspicious and auspicious people." ”

Tan Zhi and Tong Guan generally take the road of winning the favor of the saint with their military exploits, Lotte believes that Tan Zhi will definitely not be willing to live under Tong Guan, not to mention that Tong Guan is nearly seventy years old now, and there are still a few days left in his career, and it is inevitable that Tan Zhi wants to be on the throne.

Listening to Tan Zhen's words, Lotte knew in his heart that he still didn't buy people's hearts, and said with a smile: "Do you still remember that the lower official once asked the king to talk to the nobles about maritime trade, and now he has eyebrows." ”

Seeing that the other party seemed to be moved by himself, Lotte hurriedly threw out a bait: "Xia Guan has discussed with Xia Guan's father-in-law, Wang Yuanwai, to open up sea trade routes from Mizhou south to Java, Zhenla and other countries, and transport the Beidi official kiln ceramics and specialties overseas, and then transport overseas treasures, spices and other things back to the north. ”

"In front of the nobles, the lower officials don't dare to have the slightest rumor!" Lotte smiled and continued: "I want to come to the noble people also know that the lower official and the official family jointly organized the Chinese ticket number, and the lower official felt the pain of inconvenient communication, so the lower official specially ordered people to train a batch of flying pigeons to pass the credit in the ticket number, and used the flying pigeons to transmit the message all the way from Biandu to Hangzhou, which can save time within four days. ”

As the Imperial City Division, Wang Goudang deliberately made a visit to the sea trade matter: "The goods in the north live inland, and it is inconvenient to go to sea, even if they go to sea, they are mostly transported to Goryeo and Dongying, and rarely to the central and southern regions. ”

Lotte said honestly: "There are no eternal friends, but there are eternal interests, at the beginning of the official ranking, he accidentally offended Cai Xianggong, and this year because of his military exploits, he offended Tong Taiwei, knowing that he can't make too many enemies, so he naturally wants to make friends with the nobles in the palace!" ”

Since Lotte gave him a big gift waiting for him to get it, Tan Zhi naturally didn't want anything to happen to Lotte, and then said: "Happiness is a foregone conclusion to make Xia Guo, what do we need our family to do?" ”

Hearing this, Tan Zhi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Our family's qualifications are inferior to that of Captain Tong, and we have more than enough strength to do it!" ”

Lotte said: "Tan Guiren understands in his heart, Xia Guo's envoy to Xia Guo on this trip in addition to marrying the princess of Xia Guo, but also to discuss peace talks, before several battles, I have a great Song victory, can be said to have an advantage, for the Xia people's request for peace, naturally have to put forward many conditions, then Xia Guo's monarchs and ministers must not agree."

Tan Zhi nodded: "Our family has forgotten, Liu Fa who is happy to be in Naxihe Road has the grace of saving his life, which is the defeat of Tong'an, and the saint has not held Liu Fa accountable because of the achievements of several battles in Zhucheng, so Liu Fa will naturally cooperate with you; If our family cooperates with you on the Eastern Front again, Xia Guo will definitely not be in danger of his life on this trip. ”

Tong Guan's general system of six side affairs, is the top of the close to the ministers, relying on the holy family is even more powerful to the government and the opposition, that is, a very human minister Cai Jing also has to look at Tong Guan's color to act, what official position is bigger than this official, to say that there is only the nominal prince of the court.

"...... in Music"

Hearing this, Tan Zhi and Wang Gou glanced at each other, and hurriedly hid their figures aside.

Hearing Lotte's voice, the little eunuch who called for Lotte hurriedly entered the door and saluted Lotte: "Lord Zhong, the little one is specially looking for Lord Zhong on the orders of His Majesty." ”

Now that the eunuchs are in power, the ministers are very polite to the little eunuchs in the palace, if they offend any of the little eunuchs, the little eunuchs will make a little bad in front of His Majesty, and it is enough for these ministers to drink a pot, so Lotte is very polite to learn from the ministers in the court.

Hearing this, Lotte arched his hand towards the place where Tan Zhi was hiding, quickened his pace and followed the little eunuch out of the Imperial Palace to the harem, and then only heard the little eunuch say a sentence that made Lotte vomit blood: "Fang Cai Lin Dao ordered someone to reply to His Majesty, saying that it was according to His Majesty's will to make a hexagram, and Lord Le's trip to the Xia Kingdom was a good omen......"
