The two princes didn't seem to expect Zhao Yan to ask a question suddenly, but after a short period of stunned, King Qing should be the first to reply in order of the eldest and youngest. Therefore, the third prince Gong Wang Zhao Dan was very polite and signaled Zhao Kai first.

Qing King Zhao Kai pondered for a moment, and then replied respectfully: "Returning to my father, it is better to take peace as the opinion of the sons, and it is really difficult to make a decision when the two envoys come to Beijing together for a while......

King Qing, who is still gentle and elegant, always gives people a kind temperament, and coupled with his sick body, he looks even weaker like a scholar.

Compared with Gongwang Zhao Dan, it is much more calm and introverted.

Xiaozong Zhao Yan did not comment on King Qing's answer, but set his eyes on King Gong Zhao Dian: "King Gong, what do you think?" ”

"Returning to my father, in the opinion of my sons, the two envoys have come from thousands of miles, if you don't respond, I'm afraid it will be difficult to show the importance and prestige of my Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Dan's opinion made Xiaozong Zhao Yan a little interested: "Oh? Tell me about ......"

The retainers believed that a decision had to be made on the matter, but that it should not be discussed at such a banquet. Since the envoys of the two countries have arrived in the capital, they are not in a hurry to come to Japan! ”

Zhao Dan's words made Xiaozong Zhao Yan look relieved, obviously Gong Wang Zhao Tang had already guessed his thoughts.

After listening to King Gong's words, Ye Yu, who was living in the court, also nodded secretly in his heart. Just based on the responses of King Qing and King Gong, it is enough to see the personality and temperament of the two.

In terms of dealing with things, and the two princes have their own uniqueness, but King Gong Zhao Dian seems to be thoughtful and gloomy.

The so-called long coming, but it is just a procrastination trick, and the longer the matter is delayed, the more beneficial it will be to the Great Song Dynasty.

The longer it drags on, the more the two countries will do everything they can to curry favor with the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty. In this way, no matter what decisions are made in the future, it will be the Great Song Dynasty that will ultimately benefit.

Xiaozong Zhao Yan listened to King Gong's advice, and did not respond directly to the two delegations at the banquet, but continued to sing and dance on the grounds that the banquet was dusty and did not talk about state affairs.

After the banquet dispersed, it was already nightfall, and Ye Yu got into the carriage and rushed back to the mansion in a little dizzy.

Ye Yu didn't pay much attention to this diplomatic matter, because he shouldn't have to worry about this matter in the first place. When he returned to the mansion, he planned to rest, but found that Su Quanzhong had been waiting for a long time.

After inquiry, he learned that he needed to personally formulate the post-processing matters of the college. This was requested by him Ye Yu personally, because he had put a lot of effort into this academy.

After agreeing with Su Quanzhong, Ye Yu stretched out tiredly and went straight to the bedroom to sleep.

Su Yueyun personally sent her father to the door, but Su Quanzhong suddenly stopped, turned around and pulled his daughter aside, and said a little anxiously: "Daughter, why haven't you moved yet?" ”

"Daddy is talking about ......" Su Yueyun was confused by her father's unprovoked questioning.

Seeing that her daughter was a gourd that didn't open the scoop, she said angrily: "You are about to become an old girl, do you continue without a name?" ”

"But Daddy, you also saw that Brother Yu is in a high position and has no leisure......"

"Confused!"

Su Quanzhong stomped his feet angrily: "It is difficult for him to have leisure, but how can this marriage be delayed?" What day is it...... What should you do? ”

"No, no, no, Brother Yu is not such a person, how can Daddy say such things? Brother Yu has handed over all the business to your father, you will take care of it! Regarding her father's questioning of Ye Yu, Su Yueyun did not hesitate to refute it.

Seeing his daughter defending Ye Yu like this, Su Quanzhong smiled speechlessly: "It's true that girls are outgoing, you spoke for that kid before you even passed the door!" ”

"Daddy! Look at what you said......" was broken by her father, Su Yueyun said coquettishly with a slightly red face.

"Okay, okay, my father is just talking, Ye Yu, this kid is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and he will definitely not give up on him from the beginning, which is also the reason why his father valued him back then!"

Su Quanzhong said it, but he sighed worriedly: "But daughter, my father is old, although there have been palace doctors in the palace for private diagnosis and treatment in the past few years, which can be regarded as hanging this old life, but after all, the years are unforgiving, and my father just wants to see you marry......"

"Although he has always been respectful to his father, and has called me an uncle, my father is a businessman after all, and he knows that his identity is very different, so it is inconvenient to say anything. So you have to be reminded of this matter! ”

"Me?"

"Yes, you see that Hu Mei'er is already pregnant, if you don't seize the opportunity, I'm afraid that even if you get married in the future, there will be no place for you."

Su Yueyun's pretty face lowered slightly, and she whispered with a little doubt: "Not really......"

"Not really? Hmph, your brother Yu is not an ordinary person, nor is he an ordinary literati. With his current fame and status, there is no need for him to attract bees and butterflies, if you don't stabilize your position at this time, can you predict what will happen in the future? ”

"This ......"

"Okay, I won't say much for my father, and it's inconvenient to say, how to do it, daughter, you can decide for yourself!" After Su Quanzhong finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the mansion, got into the carriage and disappeared into the night.

Seeing her father leave Ye Mansion, Su Yueyun fell into deep thought!

In the following days, the Ministry of Rites sent officials to receive the Goryeo and Japanese envoys, and then placed them in Honglu Temple, and then dropped a sentence: "Wait for Your Majesty to summon you." ”

However, the envoys of Goryeo and Japan were not idle, and none of the high-ranking officials who could have influence in the DPRK and China were left behind.

At this time, in the warm pavilion in the backyard of Prince Gong's mansion, Zhao Dian was lying on the soft foot leisurely, sipping fragrant tea while teasing the bird in the cage.

At this time, the housekeeper in the mansion walked in, and respectfully asked Zhao Dian for instructions: "Your Highness, this is a gift list sent by the Japanese envoy Taira Kiyomori......

"Oh? This Ping Qingsheng first arrived at King Qing's mansion and then came to visit this king, right? ”

"As His Highness said, exactly!"

"Okay, you go and count the gifts, as for how to respond, there is no need for this king to say more!"

"The villain understands!"

After the housekeeper withdrew from the warm pavilion, a person walked out from behind the screen, and this person was none other than the prince of Goryeo.

Wang Qi said to himself with a smile on his face: "This Ping Qingsheng really doesn't know the current situation, and now the power in the court is King Gong, you have the final say, he actually went to visit that King Qing first!" ”

"Hey, the prince is wrong with this, King Qing is the royal brother of this king, how can this young and old order mess up the discipline? This is so flat and clear, and it is understandable! ”

"What His Highness said is very true, it is Xiao Wang who has lost his words!" There is always a weirdness when Wang Qi speaks Chinese, which makes people feel a little unaccustomed to listening to it.

Zhao Dian frowned, put down the birdcage and teased: "The prince of the world is not as fluent in my Great Song language as Pingqingsheng, you have to learn more about this!" ”

"It's not a secret, Xiao Wang worshipped many Han people as teachers in order to learn Gui Chinese Yan, in order to be able to learn the culture of the Central Plains, but the learning of this language is by no means overnight......"

"It's okay, in the future, the prince will often travel between Goryeo and the Great Song Dynasty, and it will improve over time!"

Listening to Zhao Dan's metaphorical words, the prince of Goryeo, Wang Qi, was overjoyed: "Your Highness Lao!" ”

……

Outside the gate of Prince Gong's mansion, listening to a carriage, Ping Qingsheng stood next to the carriage waiting for news, and behind him stood a man and a woman waiting respectfully.

The men's clothes are rather eccentric, as the outfit is both Japanese samurai style and Confucian ornamentation in the Central Plains style. This person was none other than Fujiwara Narifan, one of the deputy envoys who accompanied Taira Kiyomori.

The woman was dressed in Hanfu, and on this thin body, she had a kind of Jiangnan woman's small jasper. This woman is none other than Prince Mikonai Akinomiya, the sister of Emperor Takakura, and she is also the righteous daughter of Taira Kiyomori.

Since Japan's Heiji Rebellion, the Taira family has gradually become the new upstart who controls Japan's power, and Emperor Takakura, who is now the emperor, also has to be called Uncle Taira Kiyomori.

In order to consolidate the position of the emperor, Emperor Takakura and Miko Akinomiya directly promoted Taira Kiyomori, an uncle, to the status of a stepfather.

And at the banquet that day, the thin deputy envoy who was behind Ping Qingsheng was the beautiful woman of the Autumn Palace dressed as a man.

Although Miko Akinomiya is the prince of the inner prince, she is just a deputy envoy this time, so whether it is her position or seniority, she is behind Ping Kiyomori.

Moreover, Japan is a country that respects strength, and although Taira Kiyomori became a monk due to illness, the strength of the Taira family is enough to overstep the authority of the emperor. It is reasonable that Miko Akinomiya is so behind.

The three of them waited outside the mansion for a long time, and then the butler of Prince Gong's Mansion strolled out.

Ping Qingsheng's face was overjoyed when he saw this, and he went straight up: "Amitabha, His Royal Highness King Gong ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was directly interrupted by the housekeeper: "Your Highness has been sick recently, and I am afraid of being infected with the cold, so I don't see anyone, Your Highness accepted this gift." When His Royal Highness is better another day, I will see you again, please go back! ”

"......"

Taira Kiyomori was about to say something, but the butler had already turned around and returned to the mansion, without giving him the slightest chance to speak.

Seeing the door of the mansion closing heavily, there was a muffled sound, Ping Qingsheng's eyes closed, his hands folded together and sighed: "Amitabha!" ”

"These three princes are such a big shelf, and the second prince didn't see him like him yesterday!" Miko Akimiya is obviously closed to eating, and she is a little resentful in her heart.

Fujiwara Chengfan stared at the closed door of the mansion and said to himself: "I don't think it's a big shelf, but deliberate!" ”

"Deliberately?"

"Not bad!"

After Fujiwara Chengfan's words, he reminded Ping Qingsheng, and then suddenly said: "I have heard that His Majesty of the Song Kingdom has not established the position of the crown prince, and the battle between these two princes is not overnight, we have already committed the taboo of King Gong when we visited King Qing first!" ”

"But we also ...... in order of seniority"

"It's just a matter of taking it for granted, and the order of the salutation is also a sign of attitude, especially for those who are delicate, and the more attention is paid to the details!"

"Then do we still want to meet these three princes?" Miko Akimiya asked in a low voice with a slightly solemn expression, after all, this mission to the Great Song Dynasty is related to the future and fate of Japan.

Ping Qingsheng looked at Prince Gong's mansion for a long time, and finally said in a deep voice: "If you want to make His Majesty of the Great Song Dynasty inclined to our Japan, in addition to these two princes, there is one more person who can influence the decisions of His Majesty of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Miko Akimiya didn't know what it meant when she heard it at first, but then she suddenly wondered: "Could it be that my father is talking about him?" ”
