Zheng Lang recovered from a serious illness, but his spirit was still sluggish, and he saluted when he was sick.

Xiao Yunjin looked at Zheng Lang with a very flat expression, and asked, "I heard that you and Xiao Hui have a family relationship?" ”

"It's an agreement."

"How old are you?"

"So what's the matter, although the age is more than 20 years old, and the appearance is only medium, but the man is not a woman after all. Moreover, the Khitan founded the country with bravery, and did not care about the appearance and age of men. ”

"What are your bravery?"

"Queen Mother, in terms of bravery, there will be few people in your country who are better than me."

Just when Xiao Hui arrived, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Hearing that his mother braved a handful of heavy snow to come to the camp again, Liao Xingzong didn't mention the headache. In particular, the Song envoy is coming soon, and at this critical time, if the mother forcibly intervenes, she will let her die. Hurriedly sent someone to inform Xiao Hui, little uncle, go put out the fire.

Xiao Yunjin laughed wildly, stared at Zheng Lang after laughing, and said, "You are so brave, you can compete with any guard around me, how can you." ”

With a finger of his hand, a large row of guards behind him, Zheng Lang, picked it up by himself, saw who was thin, picked it out, and tested his bravery. Xiao Hui was dripping with cold sweat, can this be compared? Pick any one out, and you can easily put down five or six Zheng Lang.

"Queen Mother, what do you think is bravery? Is it wrestling, or archery, or fighting? This is not bravery, this is called the courage of the horseman. The real bravery is the ability of the culture to govern the country, and the ability of the military to expand the territory, this is the real bravery. May I ask the Queen Mother, in terms of this bravery, how many people in your country can beat me? ”

Xiao Hui's eyes almost fell off, no wonder he said Wu Yong, it turned out to be this Wu Yong. In this way, it makes sense, there may be more people unilaterally than this son in the Khitan State, but the combination of the two, I'm afraid the Khitan alone can't pick it out.

"Why do you only salute as courtiers and not as juniors?"

"It's just a convention, even if it's true. The minister is still a minister, and he can only perform the courtesy, but if the queen mother likes it, she can pay the courtesy first. Ming Jun and Chen, and then perform the junior salute," Zheng Lang said, making a junior salute. Let this woman be afraid, the soft is afraid of the hard, the hard is afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of the dead. Don't be afraid of anything, be afraid of neurotics!

Uncle, am I afraid of you?

"Spare you for this," Xiao Yun waved his hand, withdrew, and dragged Xiao Hui away, and the two walked all the way, arguing about something all the way.

Zheng Lang wiped the sweat from his forehead. Just because the Khitan has this neurotic queen mother, he will not have any nostalgia for the Khitan.

Guo Kui whispered: "I really didn't expect it to work." ”

"If it doesn't work anymore. It's going to be hard for two or three months. Ma Qianyun, make me tea. Zheng Lang shouted angrily. The Ma family cannot be underestimated, and Ma Baozhong, the Khitan privy envoy, is a child of the Ma family.

Not only Zheng Lang felt relaxed, but Liao Xingzong also felt relaxed. I was going to listen to Zheng Lang's words, honor my mother, improve the relationship between mother and son, and set an example for the world. However, the mother tossed twice, and let go of any thoughts. It is estimated that Zheng Lang also made a lot of trouble, and he didn't mention it again after his mother made trouble.

……

The Song envoy arrived.

The man who came was very weighty.

The Song Dynasty fought in a three-way chaos. The war was raging, but Wang Gongchen was very careful, and he was almost silent during this time. The third envoy is a very delicate position, and the finance minister of the Song Dynasty can be honored as the minister of the two governments. This is very important, even if it is gilded in the two provinces. Qualifications will immediately become different, and so will the salary. For example, Zheng Lang's salary is at least more than double that of Wang Gongchen's current salary.

But if you retreat, it is just a small state. Therefore, Wang Gongchen was very careful, silent, not to offend any of the forces, and sat back and watched the results. But he forgot that when the New Deal was celebrated, he was the culprit of the crusade against the Junzi Party. In charge of the Yushitai, there is no way to take him, in charge of the three divisions, how many officials are not convinced? And Zhang Fangping, the boss of Yushitai, is not a member of the Gentlemen's Party, nor is he a person from Wang Gongchen and Jia Changchao. Sit back and watch his subordinates bombard Wang Gongchen. …,

After a few bombardments, he was demoted from the Hanlin Bachelor and the Longtu Pavilion Bachelor to the Attendant Bachelor and the Longtu Pavilion Bachelor Zhibozhou.

From the title, you can also see the reason why Zheng Lang is the most important in the world.

Zheng Langding was worried, I kept the ancient rites, I didn't want any official position, and it was zero all at once. Abandon it like grass shoes, send an envoy to the Khitan, it's not good to take a job, give me a Longtu Pavilion bachelor. So far, he has only held the position of a bachelor, and he has given it again, and he has refused again and again. Rewarding Zheng Lang's official position is like digging Zheng Lang's meat.

This is Qinggao, which can also be said to be a high wind and bright festival.

However, other officials are afraid that there will be fewer official positions on their bodies, and even bachelors will have to be several. It seems to be glorious, but it is more than a notch.

When the front went to Bozhou, some people in the back were not willing to give up, and continued to do it, saying that Wang Gongchen's camp was asking for internal surrender and raising Zheng Xu (a person who has no official position in the local area, but has wealth, does not abide by the law, and oppresses the people). After dancing for most of the day, I didn't get any benefits, but I just achieved Jia Changchao.

So the court made another small move, Zhang Fangping was the third envoy, and Gao Ruone was the middle of the imperial history.

The envoy is Gao Rune.

Several people argued, and the head was broken and bleeding, Gao Rune said: "Your Majesty, let's let the ministers go." ”

He had a good impression of Zheng Lang, when Ouyang Xiu and others attacked Gao Ruone in the past, Zheng Lang said good things for him in Taiping Prefecture, and he said that, Gao Ruone, on the whole, is still loyal and outspoken, and can't say black words without conscience. Then he repeatedly bombarded Ouyang Xiu, and the beating made Gao Ruone's heart so cool that he couldn't mention it. So Mao recommended himself.

As a member of the imperial history and an old minister, his envoy is obviously more important than Zeng Gongliang.

Braving the bitter cold, I came to the Zhonghui River.

Liao Xingzong made an interview, and Gao Ruone said: "What about Zheng Xianggong? ”

"He accompanied King Liang to Shangjing."

"Your Majesty, please bring your ministers to meet him."

"Gao Qing, at this time, a heavy snow is flying, and it is inconvenient to go out, don't say that you are from the south, even I can't bring the carriage and horses to Shangjing, how can I see it?"

Gao Ruone scolded shamelessly in his heart, and said: "Please send someone to bring Zheng Lang here, I must see him, this is the second duty of the minister's envoy He Beichao on New Year's Day." ”

"If you want to see him, please wait for spring to come, and I will let him come back from Shangjing."

"Nachen had to wait." Gao Ronne said. If you don't see Zheng Lang, you don't want me to go back.

Liao Xingzong had no choice but to send him away, but he did not restrict his freedom. Gao Rune asked, and the question really came out. A few days ago, Zheng Lang left here and went with King Liang, including his bodyguards. There are also four younger sisters who serve, and Xiao Hui, the Duke of Wei, is still traveling with him. Where they went, one by one I don't know. Gao Ronne was so angry that he spurted blood, and there was a time for this. Regardless of whether the Song Dynasty or the Khitan sent an envoy, they must first send someone to inform the other party so that the other party can make preparations and arrangements, which can be as short as ten days or as long as two or three months. A few days ago, didn't it happen that the Khitan learned that he was going to come to Zhonghuichuan?

If I don't let me see it, I'll stay here and not leave.

Liao Xingzong called Liu Liufu over: "How are you preparing over there?" ”

Get so many manuscripts from Zheng Lang. It is not required to be 100% similar, as long as it is 90% similar, it can be counterfeited as Zheng Lang's letters. How long is this, Liao Xingzong is very anxious, and there is a May appointment. If you don't do it, it's too late.

Liu Liufu said: "Your Majesty, it's almost. ”

"Go ahead."

"Oh," Liu Liufu understood. Go down and arrange.

Zheng Lang left Zhonghuichuan, not dragged away by Yelu Hongji and Xiao Hui, but an order from Xiao Yunjin. Let him visit Yelu and the Xiao family's parents in Zhongjing. Yelu and Xiao are the two noble surnames of Khitan, the surname Yelu may not be royal, and the surname Xiao may not be the descendant. It's just that the royal family must be surnamed Yelu, and the later family must be surnamed Xiao. In addition to the royal and queen families, there are other noble families. Zheng Lang visited Xiao Yunjin's family, the Ajigu family, which is too large. So despite her bad looks, Liao Xingzong still included her in the harem, which was to appease her family. Xiao Yanyan also wanted to appease her family and let Liao Xingzong have sex with her. Queen Xiao Bodhisattva has always been kind to her, but she is also afraid of her family. What the legend of the golden rooster. That's all fake, only this family is real. …,

You can also be appeased and killed, but that's not what Mingjun does, only Yelu Hongji, a fool, dares to do this. If you do it, the end of the Khitan will come.

As you can imagine. Zheng Lang's visit, how many "elders" he visited, he was so hard in his heart that he couldn't do it, we are not the sons-in-law of your Xiao family, what are we doing. But I knew in my heart that I was afraid that the Song envoy would arrive again and find a way to separate himself. There is the shadow of Liao Xingzong in it, and his mother Xiao Yunjin happened to be called by Liao Xingzong as a gun.

Avoid it, avoid it, at this time he didn't want to see the Song envoy, if he made the Khitan suspicious and requited in advance, he couldn't escape if he wanted to.

On the other side, a letter and a fold were handed to Gourne.

The letter is for Gao Ruone, and the performance is for Zhao Zhen.

There is a private seal, there is an official seal, to the same effect, I accompanied King Liang to Shangjing, many bad things happened, I am afraid that the emperor will be disappointed, and the ministers will not return to the Song Dynasty. What is the reason for not returning to the Song Dynasty, the letter did not say.

Gao Ruone and Zheng Lang have almost no contact, and the handwriting is indistinguishable, but the seal can be distinguished, and it will not be a counterfeit.

He asked Liao Xingzong, "What happened to Zheng Lang in your country?" ”

Liao Xingzong thought about it, and said after a while: "Nothing happened, if it happened, there was only one thing, he took a fancy to the little lady of the Wei family, who was beautiful and moving, smart and clever, and personally taught her to learn and write many times, and the two were preparing to talk about the marriage contract." ”

"Impossible!"

"This matter has been widely spread in my Khitan, don't believe it, you just ask that person. Can I still talk to the southern envoy? ”

Gao Rona grabbed a courtier who was sitting at the bottom and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

The minister replied: "Southern envoy, Hugh is rude, your country Zheng Xianggong has already talked about a marriage contract with Wei Guogong, but the other party is still young, and the two have a close relationship, so it is not the time to talk about marriage, so the official engagement date can not be made until next year." ”

This is very vague, the original agreement is that after Zheng Lang surrenders to the Khitan next year, he can only make a marriage contract, let him change it to a marriage date, it is easy for people to cause misunderstanding, next year this woman will be in time, and this year will not be able to get married. Gao Ruone was so angry that he fainted, it's not impossible, Zheng Lang is a very normal man, he has been on the mission for almost a year, can he survive? Other women touched it, but can it be irresponsible to touch the daughter of the Khitan uncle's family?

If so......

He let out a long sigh, he couldn't stay in Khitan any longer, he still went back and discussed with the big guy.

Regardless of whether New Year's Day did not come, whether it was rude, he said goodbye rudely, quickly left Zhonghuichuan, and returned to the Song Dynasty.

Liao Xingzong and the ministers laughed, this force, coupled with the forged letter, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty must be unable to hold his breath and sit out of something. In the end, Zheng Lang had a home and it was difficult to return. Aside from the Khitan, where else can I house him?

After laughing, he ordered: "Prepare to move." ”

The winter bowl is over, and the spring bowl is over.

This place is in the mixed river and the Changchun River. It was far away from the Song Realm, and Zheng Lang couldn't escape back to the Southern Dynasty if he wanted to. You can also loosen it and warm Zheng Lang's heart. Otherwise, this kind of freedom under house arrest will definitely not be liked by this son.

When the New Year arrived, the Khitan was preparing for the spring bowl, and Gao Ruone had returned to the capital.

didn't dare to hide it, although he had a good impression of Zheng Lang. If it was for a beautiful woman to defect to the Khitan, he couldn't bear it either. It's okay to fight, but it's all about the outside. Moreover, Zheng Lang regards himself as a gentleman, and he can't rebel.

After speaking, he handed the fold to Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen didn't look at it at all, and said to the eunuch: "Burn it." ”

"Your Majesty."

Zhao Zhen said to Gao Ruone: "You ask a few ministers, what do they think." ”

Gao Ruone turned his head to look at several prime ministers, and Wu Yu and Da Song had smiles on their faces. Even Wang Yiyong and Chen Zhizhong were also laughing, Pang Ji and Jia Changchao were expressionless, and asked suspiciously: "How many ministers." Why laugh. ”…,

"Gao Gaocheng, you're talking about the daughter of the Duke of Wei, right?" Wu Yu asked.

"yes. I personally asked, and the two get along very closely. ”

Zhao Zhen couldn't hold back anymore and burst into laughter.

"Your Majesty, why are you laughing too?"

Zhao Zhen is not surprised, Gao Ruone wants to ask in the Khitan, it is unlikely, can the Khitans let Gao Ruone easily get the truth? said: "That little lady has a relationship with Zheng Qing. ”

"Yes, the Khitan doesn't know etiquette, and the minister is worried that Zheng Lang will do something bad. After all, it's been a year since I left home. ”

"You, you," Zhao Zhen laughed breathlessly, and finally said, "How old is that little lady, do you know?" ”

"About fourteen years old."

"Wrong, Gao Qing. Only seven or eight years old. ”

"Ah, that, that......"

"There must be some misunderstanding in the middle, don't worry, as long as Zheng Qing gets out and comes back, the truth will be revealed one by one." Zhao Zhen said. Zheng Lang said that he had a way, but why didn't Zhao Zhen worry, and why did there be two kinds of news from the Khitan. So he sent scouts to infiltrate the Khitan in the name of discussion, and also inquired about some information. Of course, it is impossible to know what relatives and children there are in the family of the Khitan minister, but Zheng Lang is teaching Xiao Guanyin to read and write, and the scout will definitely pay attention, and the secret agent asked about this woman's situation. is only a few years old, and the monarch and ministers don't pay much attention. It was another piece of news that made the monarch very cautious, it turned out that another piece of news was released by the Khitan Empress Dowager, this Empress Dowager was so crazy, I don't know if it has any impact on Zheng Lang. It seemed to be good news for the Song Dynasty, but Zhao Zhen was not in the mood to think about the role of this good news before Zheng Lang returned to Beijing. But I didn't expect Gao Ruone to say that Zheng Lang was going to marry this woman this year, who didn't feel funny about the prime ministers?

When Gao Ruone learned the truth, he was dumbfounded and said, "The Khitan is too shameless. ”

Zhao Zhen didn't make a sound, looking at the outside of the hall, there was a thick layer of snow outside the hall, but the snow began to melt, and spring was approaching unconsciously.

The Lantern Festival is approaching, Cui Xian said to a few maidens: "Let's go to the capital to watch the lantern festival." ”

Si Niangniang said: "Lang'er hasn't come back yet, we have thoughts." ”

Cui Xian attached to Siniangniang's ear and said: "The officials are coming back soon, and we went to the capital this time to make final preparations for the officials to come back." ”

"When will Lang'er come back?" Siniang grabbed Cui Xian's hand excitedly.

"Siniang, I can't say it, the official is the prime minister when he comes back, and if he is the prime minister, he will hinder others from being the prime minister, and some people will be unconvinced. We can't divulge anything. ”

"Then you go to the capital......"

"This is the strategy of the officials before leaving, and when the officials come back, the mother will know."

When she heard that it was her son's strategy, Siniangniang didn't ask. The family came to Kaifeng City again, and Cui Xian sent someone to call Lu Gongzhu and said to Lu Gongzhu: "There is a secret letter here, please transfer it to Wu Xianggong, and let Wu Xianggong pass it to Your Majesty." This letter is very important and has a bearing on the officials' plans to return home smoothly. ”

Lu Gongzhu cautiously took the letter and ran to Wu Yu's house.

After all, it is a woman's family, so she can only beat around the bush like this.

Wu Yu took the letter, his heart was not a taste, he once said that everything must be put on the table, and no small private actions are allowed, what is this? After thinking about it, he wrote a large line of letters on the envelope, and then solemnly placed it in a drawer and locked it.

When it came to the court meeting, Wu Yu came out and said, "The minister has a book. ”

"Come on."

"Play here," Wu Yu took out the letter from his sleeve, but put the writing side underneath and handed it to the eunuch, who handed it to Zhao Zhen. Wu Yu saw the letter in Zhao Zhen's hands and retreated. Zhao Zhenhu looked at him suspiciously, this was not in line with Wu Yu's style. The ministers below were also puzzled, staring at Wu Yu one by one, Wu Yu looked at his nose and mouth, and his mouth looked at his heart, without any expression. In fact, he was also curious in his heart, but he didn't dare to open the letter.

Zhao Zhen playfully picked up the letter, flipped it over, and was about to disassemble it, suddenly staring at the words on it, his hands trembled, a very simple line of words, Cui Niangzi dedicated His Majesty to tie the child, which is related to Zheng Lang's return. He is not stupid, his head changed, Zheng Lang said that he left the Khitan in February and March, and when he left, he repeatedly asked himself to cooperate at the appropriate time, and this cooperation definitely does not mean to believe in him, there are other arrangements. But so far there has been. Calculate the time, and estimate that the truth will be revealed. Unintentionally in the early court, with a wave of his hand, he let the ministers disperse, returned to the harem, and carefully opened the letter...... (To be continued.)
