In ancient times, there was no alphabetical order or number of strokes to arrange seats!

It is completely decided according to the respect and inferiority of the elders, and as for the countries, they must be carried out according to the command and strength. The seat is not just a seat, but also a symbol of status and dignity, and it is necessary to be cautious when it comes to serious matters, even major matters related to national interests and national bodies.

Lin Zhao is an envoy of the Song Dynasty, representing the Song Dynasty, but he has to be subordinated to the Western Xia, what is going on? This is something that Lin Zhao absolutely cannot tolerate.

"General Aligu, can you explain this?" Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice very unhappily.

Since Ali Gu wants to use his identity as a Song envoy to play with Lin Bibi, the use can only be mutual, and now he and himself must be tied together to become a community of interests that share weal and woe. Lin Zhao knew that the seating arrangement was definitely not Ali Bone's arrangement, and he probably didn't know about it.

But now it's time to take advantage of this reason and let him come and ask him to come and ask him to stand up for himself.

Sure enough, Ali Gu couldn't help frowning, the matter of the seat is very important, and it will definitely be tricky. The Song Dynasty and the Western Xia Dynasty must not be willing to give in to each other, and it stands to reason that the status of the Song Dynasty is slightly higher and should be in front.

But now...... How could this happen? Was it negligence on the part of the person who arranged the banquet? Or is this itself what Zampu Dong Yu means? Or is it someone else......

Until that's confirmed, it's hard to say.

But now Lin Zhao is reluctant, and officially brings up this matter, which is undoubtedly a problem for himself.

According to Zampu's order, let yourself entertain the Song Dynasty mission, then if the Song envoy has any requests or questions, he is obliged to help solve them. It is impossible to avoid this as well.

Ali Gu couldn't help frowning, and scolded: "What the hell is going on? Why weren't the seats of the Song Dynasty envoys properly placed?

Now he could only put the blame on the attendants who set up the banquet scene, and he desperately hoped that it was just a misunderstanding, just an oversight on the part of the attendants......

"General, I don't know, it's all done as required......" The attendant replied awkwardly, and he couldn't explain why.

The hesitation and embarrassment on his face is a good explanation, Ali Gu already understands that this matter is only not so simple. At least not a simple negligence and misunderstanding, but someone did it on purpose, but who could it be? Is it Dong Yu, or is it someone else?

Now, even if we can investigate clearly, it will be too late!

Lin Zhao also saw the look on the waiter's face, if someone did it on purpose, who would it be? What are the intentions of the Tibetans? Could it be that he deliberately promoted Western Xia? Neglecting the Song Dynasty? Deliberately embarrassing yourself?

Lin Zhao began to have some doubts, since he came to Qingtang City, he could feel intentionally or unintentionally that the Tubo people didn't seem to be so kind to him. Of course, Ali Gu needs to be treated differently, and I have never figured out what the reason is.

However, no matter what kind of considerations the Tibetan people have and what their purpose is, there is no room for negotiation in this matter. It is absolutely impossible to make concessions, Lin Zhao needs the Tubo people to give a reasonable explanation and give a satisfactory answer!

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "General Ali Gu, I am honored to participate in Zampu's banquet, but there doesn't seem to be a suitable seat here, so I have to leave!" ”

Are you kidding? In front of the envoys of many states and tribes, it is self-evident what consequences and serious impact the Song envoy will cause if he leaves with his sleeves away, which he cannot afford.

"Isn't it just a seat, isn't there here?" There is a Tibetan attendant who doesn't know if he is long-sighted, or if he is deliberate. Pointing to the seat of the head of the Western Xia envoy, he reminded him in time.

A sneer flashed at the corner of Lin Zhao's mouth, and he was silent......

Ali Gu is full of wry smiles, he has received a good education since he was a child, he knows very well that the Song Dynasty people in the Central Plains attach great importance to etiquette. I don't know why, why do the seemingly weak people of the Song Dynasty love face so much, even if they die many times to save face, and even give their lives, they still have to adhere to the so-called dignity. It is said that this thing is called a temperament, and Ali Gu can't fully understand it from his own position, but he knows a lot about it.

The Song Dynasty has always regarded itself as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and both Tubo Zanpu Jiaoluo and Dong Yu accepted the canonization of the Song Dynasty, nominally speaking, there was a vassal relationship between Tubo and the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was equivalent to the suzerainty of Tubo. The envoys of the kingdom are naturally more noble and need courtesy.

As for the Western Xia, they are on the same level as Hehuang Tubo, even if they are very arrogant and arrogant in the northwest, and they are very powerful. But the strength is still worse than that of the Song Dynasty, and the Western Xia people themselves are also vassals to the Song Dynasty, from this point of view, it should be the Song Dynasty that makes Lin Zhao take the seat first, but now things seem to be just the opposite......

The steward who was in charge of arranging the banquet had already arrived after hearing the news, and when he looked at Ali Gu, who was almost furious, and the envoys of the Song Dynasty with gloomy faces, he began to secretly complain.

"What the hell is going on? How are the seats arranged? Ali asked in a deep voice, firstly, he wanted to figure out the ins and outs, and at the same time, he also wanted to give Lin Zhao a reasonable explanation.

The steward replied: "General, the seats of this day are sorted according to the positions of the envoys of various countries, and the envoy of the Western Xia, Liang Yiburi, is the minister of state, and the position is the highest, so he ......."

Ali Gu smiled: "I see, please forgive Envoy Lin......"

"Forgive me, how can I forgive me?"

Ali Gu knew in his heart that it was impossible for Lin Zhao to make concessions in this matter, and the more he said this, the more insistent he would be. No matter who arranged the seats in this way, it is not easy to adjust them now, and it is okay to say that both seats are empty, and only need to be slightly adjusted.

But now, Liang Yibu has already sat down, is it difficult for him to get up and leave? Let's not talk about whether Liang Yibury is willing or not, and whether he can succeed. But it will definitely cause unnecessary stirring at the banquet, and in the end it will be Tubo who will be embarrassed.

Now clearly tell Lin Zhao that he will either endure it and sit down, or stick to it to the end! The result is definitely the latter, and Ali Gu hopes that this is the result.

Today, if Lin Zhao retreats, he will also lose face, and Liang Yibury and Lin Xiaobi's arrogance will definitely be even more arrogant, which is a result he doesn't want to see.

"Envoys and ministers, if there is a country with a king, there are ministers, and the country and the monarch are naturally before the ministers, how can they be arranged according to the positions of the courtiers? The logic of Hehuang is really special, please forgive this envoy for not agreeing! ”

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice: "Either I leave now, and the Great Song envoys will leave Qingtang City immediately." Either you change your seat immediately, choose one of the two, and see! ”

Lin Zhao's attitude was very tough, and his voice suddenly improved a lot. Everyone in the hall didn't pay much attention to it, but they all turned their eyes to ......

The scene was immediately a little embarrassing, and Ali knew that if the matter in front of him was not handled well, it would have a very bad impact.

But what to do? With his current identity and situation, it is not easy to come forward, so he stared at the responsible steward fiercely, and at this time, he could only let him come forward first.

Whoever causes the mess will be responsible!

This steward is really helpless, a group of immortals fighting, how can he be a mortal who is a small mortal to participate, but he can't get out......

In the game between the big people, it is the little people who are wronged after all, who can afford to offend? Alas, this is fate......

The steward had no choice but to walk up to the envoys of Western Xia and said in a low voice: "Liang Guoxiang, do you think it's okay to change the seat?" ””

Lin Zhao had long known that the person sitting next to him was Liang Yi, the prime minister of the Western Xia and the uncle of the country, but he never looked at it again. Only then did he turn his gaze and look up and down slightly.

Liang Yibury is not very old, about thirty years old, not very tall, his skin is quite fair, and there is a kind of arrogant bearing between his eyebrows. Now it can be said that he is the second person in Western Xia, and it is normal to look arrogant. However, it may be because he is still relatively young and has been a minister of state for a relatively short time, and he always lacks some heavy and deep feelings.

Liang Yi buried this and sat upright, sneering: "The seat was arranged by you, can you change it?" ”

"Liang Guoxiang, you also saw it...... The situation is ...... right now."

"What's the situation?" Liang Yibury was very unhappy and said: "What do others say? Why? Why are you Tibetans so unassertive? ”

"Liang Xiangguo, there is naturally a reason, Li Bingchang, the lord of your country, has just submitted a table to the Song Dynasty and asked for canonization. The Song Dynasty is the monarch, the Western Xia is the minister, Lin Langzhong's position is not as high as yours, but he represents the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and you represent the lord of the Western Xia, the status of the monarch and the minister is different, and please be cautious about the Liang Guoxiang. ”

Ali Gu knows that there is no way to retreat. At this time, there was no other choice but to find a way to help Lin Zhao, and he was also helping himself. Anyway, Liang Yibu has already occupied his opposite! So some words are said without scruples.

Sure enough, Liang Yi's face was a little gloomy, for Xixia, this was a hard injury. Although it was only a nominal vassal to the Song Dynasty, the Western Xia posed a threat to the Song Dynasty, and it stands to reason that the Song Dynasty people were afraid of the Western Xia people.

But on some occasions, it is this damn name that makes people helpless, and they have to suffer a lot of grievances. When will it be good for Xixia to completely get rid of Xixia and have a full-scale showdown with it......

However, the Western Xia had limited national strength and was in the land of four wars, so if you want to have a showdown with the Song Dynasty, you must stabilize the rear. Among them, the most important is Hehuang Tubo, and Liang Yihui suddenly felt that the responsibility of this envoy was becoming more and more important. And this time the results will also be crucial, and the attention will be greatly increased......

As for the matter in front of him, Liang Yibury smiled lightly: "Yes, but it can't be so simple, just change it, I have a request......" (To be continued.) )
