Chapter 171: Great Song is a thief
Cross the river into Chuzhou on Huainan West Road, pass through Chuzhou and Haozhou and enter Suzhou, pass through Suzhou and arrive at the Jiangbei camp in Maozhou.
Since the envoy entered Suzhou, he was greeted by an envoy from the Kingdom of Jin.
This time, the Great Song Dynasty mission, with the former position of Huaixi pacification envoy public officer Lu Zhongxian as the main envoy, and a deputy envoy is Zhao Yunzhao, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, if you want to seriously study the identities of these two people, it seems that it is difficult to see the sincerity of the Great Song Dynasty.
There is not even a fourth-grade official.
And the other deputy envoy, in the eyes of the people of the Jin Kingdom, is this product funny?
On the surface, he is just a Fenglilang.
A mere literary and prose official from the eighth grade, in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, grab 10,000, not too much, but the only thing that can make the Jin people a little interested in it is another identity: the second place in the Autumn Lock Hall Examination of the Great Song Dynasty.
It's not the second place in the main test, but the second place in the lock hall test is not bad.
Therefore, in the eyes of the Jin people, did the Great Song Dynasty let such a person serve as the deputy envoy, did he want to show off his literary talents and beat the Jin Kingdom in terms of knowledge? Of course, this will not make Da Song Ruyi.
After Jin Guo learned these details, he quickly responded.
In line with the principle of equal status and the fact that the receiving party is one level higher than the envoy, the Jiagu Qingchen and the Ministry of Rites Langzhong Jiradao, who were in charge of the peace talks, will receive the Great Song Dynasty delegation in the camp in Jiangbei, and go to Suzhou to greet the mission in addition to a Wanwai, there is also a Jinshi who has been in Dading for three years.
This person's name is Liu Zhongzhu, originally a Han Chinese, after the three years of Dading, he was appointed as the master of Longmen and the Xianghe wine tax envoy, very talented, it is said that even the four-yuan champion Meng Zongxian is full of praise.
Originally, Liu Zhongzhu was in office, but after the Ministry of Rites of the Jin Kingdom learned about the list of the Great Song Mission, he thought about it for a long time, and felt that your Great Song Dynasty only sent a lock hall to try the second place.
But it's about the face of Jin Guo, it's not so simple to find a jinshi at random, you have to have real materials, so you choose to choose Liu Zhongzhu, and the gold lord finished Yan Yong's big stroke, and Liu Zhongzhu rushed to Suzhou from his office.
There is only one goal, to let the people of the Great Song Dynasty know that there are also talented people in my Jin country, and they are by no means ignorant northern barbarians.
In addition to the three chief and deputy envoys and the entourage, plus the two standard guards and other official clerks, the Great Song Mission did not exceed one hundred and twenty people, but fortunately, this kind of thing did not depend on many people.
Entering Suzhou, you can still see the traces of the Longxing Northern Expedition along the way.
The whole Suzhou is like a no-man's land.
There is really no one, there are ruins inside and outside the hundreds, don't talk about any barren smoke and vines, there is no smoke at all, let alone talk about cooking smoke and talking about cattle farming, but occasionally you can see a handful or two of white bones.
For the first time, Li Fengwu really felt the coldness of ancient times.
is already scarce, and after the destruction of war, there can still be people in Suzhou.
It was still ten miles away from Suzhou City, and I saw the iron cavalry of the brigade standing in the distance, the battle flags fluttering in bright armor, and occasionally the low neighing of war horses.
Sure enough, the full 500 cavalry were all elite iron cavalry stationed in Suzhou, and the first two rode side by side.
One of them was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a rough face with a hint of delicacy, and the other was thirty-three or four-year-old, although he was wearing the official robe of the Jin State, but he was full of Confucianism, and he could see at a glance that he was a Han and should be a civil official.
Lu Zhongxian took Zhao Yunzhao and Li Fengwu to the front and handed over the envoy's letter.
The twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man quietly read the envoy's book, and actually saluted with Han etiquette, "The Song envoy worked hard. ”
After the two sides introduced each other according to etiquette, the three envoys of the Great Song Dynasty were a little strange in their hearts, just because the twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man was really not an ordinary person, he only introduced himself as a Wanhu, named Wanyan Shilura.
In fact, the Great Song Dynasty had a headache with the names of the Jin Kingdom, especially their Jurchen names, which were easy to make mistakes, so most of them remembered names that were relatively easy to identify.
For example, the current Emperor Wulu of the Jin Kingdom, the people of the Great Song Dynasty call it Wanyan Yong.
And this Wanyan Shilu, Li Fengwu didn't react first, until Zhao Yunzhao lost a look at himself and whispered that this person's name was Wanyan Yongzhong, Li Fengwu suddenly realized.
Ouch, I'll go, where is the trouble in the Jin Kingdom, just a welcome envoy, and let the emperor's son come to serve as it.
Wan Yan Yongzhong is Wan Yan Yong's son, and this guy will be crowned king sooner or later.
Let him serve as a greeting envoy, is it too big and useless, and it is not in line with the etiquette system, what kind of trouble is Jin Guo?
Another civil official, named Liu Zhongzhu, is said to be a Jinshi in the third year of Dading, and he is the master of Longmen, which is reasonable.
After the two sides greeted each other, after Yan Yongzhong expressed the welcome of the Emperor of Jin, he rode in front and led the Great Song Dynasty delegation to Suzhou Post Station, and after resting in Suzhou, he continued to go north to the Jiangbei camp in Maozhou.
So the road began to be mighty.
In front of the fifty Jin Guotie cavalry to open the way, Wan Yan Yongzhong and Liu Zhongzhu in front, leading Lu Zhongxian, Zhao Yunzhao and Li Fengwu, followed by the members of the Great Song Dynasty Mission, and finally the envoy guards and Jin Guotie cavalry in parallel.
They are all people who are hated by the country and the family, and along the way, they seem to be splashing sparks.
If it weren't for the envoys on both sides of Song and Jin, it is estimated that this group would have fought a long time ago, Rao is like this, and there is friction between the ranks from time to time, fortunately, it is within the controllable range.
This really can't be blamed on the grumpy tempers of the guards of the Great Song Mission, it is really that the Jin Guo Iron Cavalry is too arrogant.
Always thinking about giving the Great Song Dynasty people a dismount, they are arrogant and domineering everywhere, and the military of the Jin State has been in an advantageous position for so many years, and it is really common to look down on the guards of the Song Dynasty.
But these Song Dynasty guards are not ordinary border troops, but elite divisions drawn from Lin'an City, although they are all well-fed and proud soldiers, but the elite spirit of the imperial city is there, and they have real skills, not wine bags and rice bags.
If it weren't for the fear of losing the country's face, it is estimated that he would have done it a long time ago.
Li Fengwu and others are not having a good time.
The others are well prepared, just waiting for the opportunity to give the three of them a dismount.
Seeing that the tattered Suzhou city wall was in sight, Liu Zhongzhu, who rarely spoke, finally took out the literati's invisible-sharp sword, and said with a smile: "The Song envoys came from afar, and today the city gate is wide open, and the envoys can be guests and enter it with a high-sounding appearance." ”
After speaking, he looked at the three of them very provocatively.
This seems to be fine, literally, it is a very ordinary sentence, except that the four-character idiom "high-sounding" is a bit strange to use here......
However, Lu Zhongxian and Zhao Yunzhao's faces turned dark.
Your sister's Yoo Joong-so!
Doesn't this clearly say that our Great Song people are thieves, thief, your sister, are you so upside down!
