Chapter 534: Providence
readx;
Five years of Xining, April 15!
After several meetings between the Minister of Rites and the Goryeo envoys, it was finally decided that the Great Song Dynasty would send envoys to Goryeo to congratulate the Goryeo king Wang Hui on his birthday. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is not difficult to achieve this, and when Goryeo was completely close to the Liao State, it was common for them not to come to the Great Song Dynasty to pay tribute. This year, now that the Goryeo envoys have arrived, it can tell the story. The hand of the Liao State is stretched too long, and the prince of the Goryeo Dynasty has to intervene, can the king of Goryeo be happy?
Sending envoys to the Great Song Dynasty was actually to express dissatisfaction and protest against the Liao State! Therefore, when the Song Dynasty expressed its desire to send an envoy to Goryeo and trade by sea, the envoy immediately agreed. The envoys of the Great Song Dynasty went to Goryeo, which undoubtedly made Goryeo more confident, and naturally they couldn't ask for it.
Subsequently, the candidates for the envoy were also announced, and Su Zhe and Cai Jing were the chief and deputy envoys.
Although Su Zhe is not as good as his brother Su Shi, he is also a famous talent in the Great Song Dynasty; Cai Jing is even more of a champion, which is extraordinary. In Goryeo's view, the Great Song Dynasty attached great importance to sending such two famous figures as envoys, so he was very pleased.
On weekdays, the efficiency of the Great Song Dynasty is really not high, but this time it is an exception. In a few days, many matters for the mission were determined and preparations were made.
However, on the 18th of April, the mission had already departed for Dengju, from where it would go directly to Goryeo by sea.
Xiao Xi was also shocked when he got the news, he didn't expect such a thing to happen. He was also an insightful person, and the Song Dynasty's friendship with Goryeo would have an obvious effect. This is a very bad sign, and it should be the reaction of the Song Dynasty to the demarcation of the border. Fight back, to be exact!
But as an envoy, he couldn't do anything, and the dealings between the Song Dynasty and Goryeo were their own business. The Liao State had no way to intervene at all. Only by emphasizing the matter of re-surveying the border, the Song Dynasty was very happy about it, and it was natural to talk about it.
And a minister has been appointed to negotiate in Ulzhou, and I heard that his name is Shen Kuo. Xiao Xi didn't take it to heart, but he was just a civil official of the Song Dynasty, so he didn't take it seriously. However, it won't be long before he will appreciate the abilities of this Lord Shen.
Meanwhile. Xiao Xi also made a report to the Liao State Shangjing as soon as possible, and the Song Dynasty's response exceeded their expectations. He also specially attached a letter to the crown prince Yelujun, mentioning Lin Shilang's "return gift", and heard that Shen Kuo's negotiation and envoy to Goryeo were Lin Zhao's proposals. As for opening up the trade routes of the Jurchen tribes, it is currently a high-level secret of the Great Song Dynasty, and naturally it cannot be leaked.
After a while, the border issue that caused turmoil in the Great Song Dynasty finally came to an end. The Great Song Junchen could finally breathe a sigh of relief. But only for a moment.
Another big storm is coming!
"Childe takes a fancy to Su Zhe and that Cai Jing?" Di Qing only learned about Lin Zhao's move later.
"The fame of the Su Zhe brothers is well known and will be of great use in the future; As for that Cai Jing, the potential is infinite and should not be underestimated! Lin Zhao smiled faintly, Taishi Cai's "great achievements" were not covered.
"It's fine. Take advantage of this opportunity to openly insert people in...... But make sure it can be used by me in the future. "Di Qing has already carefully calculated, and this matter of Liao State must be stopped. In the case of external troubles, the impact of internal worries will be weakened, and the effect of corresponding things will also be reduced.
And in the case of a very coincidental situation. Three chess pieces are cleverly placed, at least three foreshadowing. This is a windfall!
"I guess so!" Lin Zhao remembered that when the mission was leaving, Su Zhe and Cai Jingjing expressed their gratitude to him. This trip is different from the previous drudgery, it is less difficult, and it can be smooth sailing. And the purpose of this trip is still a lot of oil and water, which can be said to be fat.
However, for Su Zhe and Cai Jing, they don't care about money, but more about political interests. The significance and importance of this mission are there, as long as it is successfully completed, there will be promotions and rewards after returning to China, and there will be new changes in the official career. And all this is thanks to Lin Zhao, at least he really took the help to heart and put it into practice.
As for Su Shi, he was not idle. Taking advantage of Lin Zhao's recommendation of his younger brother, he soon received an appointment and went out of Mizhou, setting off with Su Zhe and others. The land that governs a state can be regarded as a local magistrate, and Su Shi is quite satisfied with this!
In Lin Zhao's opinion, this is the best. To some extent, I already see them as my own, and naturally I don't want them to be affected by the coming storm, and now it is best to be able to leave Bianjing and find a whirlpool.
However, it is worth mentioning that when Su Shi and his wife were leaving, Wang Chaoyun stayed in Bianjing temporarily because he was unwell and inconvenient to travel far. Although he lives in Su Zhe Mansion, he always runs to Weiyuan Houfu and Jiangnan Ju at two ends for three days.
Lin Zhao noticed it, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, and now his mind was almost all on the court. It's a game, a big game. In contrast, Zhao Ji originally had a good advantage. But now I have another opportunity to take the lead, and the turning point is now!
"Lu Huiqing stealing chickens can't make rice!" Di Qing sneered: "It's just that this kid is still a thief, and he still holds a grudge against his son!" ”
"Lu Huiqing, villain!" Lin Zhao smiled: "But this time it's also thanks to his help, otherwise how can it be so ingenious?" ”
"When will I find a chance to settle accounts with him!" Di Qing naturally wouldn't talk about a little Lu Huiqing in his eyes, in his opinion, this kind of person just doesn't know whether to live or die.
"Don't be annoyed!" Lin Zhaodao: "Lu Huiqing is still useful to keep it......"
"You mean?" Di Qing looked at Lin Zhao's confident smile and seemed to think of something.
Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "It is only one step away from the Hanlin Bachelor to participate in the governor's affairs, if there is no Wang Anshi, the new party will have no leader, and someone will always need to take the lead!" ”
"Lu Huiqing is the second ...... of the New Party"
"That's right, if we can really bring down Wang Anshi, then Zhao Ji will definitely push him." Lin Zhao said: "Although Wang Anshi is stubborn, he can be regarded as a gentleman, but Lu Huiqing is different, this guy is a villain, once he grasps power, he doesn't know what will happen?" It is not surprising that the new party will inevitably stir up unrest in the court and intensify the fighting. ”
"The more muddy this pool is, the better our chances!" Di Qing also knew this purpose, but he didn't take Lu Huiqing's weight very seriously.
Lin Zhao said: "But the key is to look at God, if he doesn't come forward, no one can drive Wang Anshi away!" The Mangzhong Festival is coming, let's see if God is helping me or helping Zhao Ji!
