Chapter 253, Famous Quartet

Li Kang was appointed as the squire of the Ministry of Rites, and the news soon spread in Bianjing City. As Sima Guang said, everyone thinks that Li Dang is responsible, after all, he has made outstanding achievements in quelling the rebellion in Shichong, and it is not too much to be awarded an official position of the fourth grade, but many people are somewhat puzzled by Gao Taotao's sudden appointment of Li Kang's official position.

In fact, Li Dang didn't understand Gao Taotao's intentions originally, and he was still confused when Gao Taotao announced that he would enter the palace to meet him.

Gao Taotao looked at Li Kang behind the curtain, and she said, "Li Qing knows why the mourning family wants the official family to make you a waiter in the Ministry of Rites." ”

Li Dang shook his head, wondering if Gao Tao was helpless because of Zhao Xu's urging, so he agreed to give himself an official.

Gao Taotao didn't help Li dare to answer her questions, she asked directly: "The mourning family wants you to send an envoy to Liao, are you willing?" ”

"Envoy to Liao?"

Li Dang was stunned, this current traffic can not be compared with another time and space, if he wants to send an envoy to Liao, he will not be able to complete the mission for more than half a year, after all, the holy order is difficult to violate, and now the meaning of Gao Tao represents the holy will, Li Dang pondered for a moment, and said: "The minister is willing to send an envoy to the Liao country, but after the minister returns to his hometown to marry first, I am afraid that it will not be possible to make the trip after half a year!" ”

Gao Tao smiled and said: "Half a year is too long, Li Qing had better get up in three days?" ”

Li Dang shook his head and said, "I'm afraid this won't work, how many ladies are still waiting to marry Li?" ”

Gao Tao said: "Li Qing is going to Liao, this is an urgent matter. From the perspective of the mourning family, this wedding will be held in Bianjing, and the mourning family will let people bring your family to Bianjing, and then the day when Li Qing comes back from Liaoguo will be the day of great joy. ”

Li Dang heard Gao Tao's tone a little anxious, and he asked, "Why do you have to get up in three days, could it be that something unexpected happened in the Khitan Kingdom?" ”

Gao Tao sighed and said: "A few days ago, an envoy from the Liao State came to mourn the first emperor and brought the letter of the Emperor of the Liao State. ”

The Liao people actually have their own names in their national letters. Li Dang thought to himself, he was also famous in all directions, and it would be better to become a powerful Quartet that day.

Li dared to say: "Could it be that some important person in the Liao Kingdom is sick?" He knew that he was now famous, and the well-known Taoist surname of the Liao Emperor wanted to go over by himself, and it was very likely that there was someone who needed to be healed by himself.

Gao Taotao was very pleased with Li Kang's sharp and accurate judgment, and she said: "Li Qing is really clever, yes, it is Yelu Yanxi, the grandson of the Liao Kingdom, who is seriously ill!" ”

"Taisun?"

"Yes, in the early years, Yelu Junmou, the prince of Liao, was killed by Yelu Yixin, a powerful minister of Liao, and only this one son was left. He was identified as the grandson by the Emperor of Liao and was the future Emperor of Liao. ”

"It's just the grandson of the Liao people, can Li not go?"

"Can't!"

"Why?"

"I just can't!"

"Niangniang, can't you explain the reason to Li?"

Gao Tao pondered for a moment and said: "The mourning family asked you to send an envoy to Liaoguo, and you should tell you the cause and effect, but this matter is a long story, and now the matter is urgent, Li Qing should go down early and prepare the luggage!" She felt that she was worried that after Yelu Yanxi died, the Song King Yelu and Lu Wei would do things that would be detrimental to the Song State after they became the emperor of the Liao State. It's really hard to make it clear to Li for a while.

Li Dare started to straighten his crooked hat, and the official uniform of the Song Dynasty was cumbersome, but the hat on that head was really uncomfortable to wear, especially the long and stiff head. The most frustrating thing is that when you walk, you will accidentally bump into something, which affects your demeanor. He said to Gao, "It seems." The minister must go! ”

Gao Tao nodded and said, "Yes, Li Qing has to go!" ”

Li Dang sighed. said: "It's just that the minister is gone, this wedding date will be delayed no matter what, in the eyes of several ladies, the minister is afraid that he will become a sinner!" ”

Gao said: "If you don't go, or go later, then you are a sinner in the Great Song Kingdom, which is more important, you can weigh it yourself, right?" ”

……

Li Dang returned to the mansion and talked with Xu Xian'er and Zhao Ying about the envoy to Liao.

Xu Xian'er frowned and didn't speak, her marriage with Li Kang had been delayed again and again, of course she didn't want to continue to delay like this.

Zhao Ying just came out of the palace, she said: "Ying'er heard about it in the palace, for this matter, Ying'er once looked for the queen mother, but she said......"

Li Dang answered: "Did she say that if Li didn't go, he would be a sinner in the country's society?" ”

Zhao Ying nodded and said, "That's what she said, but Ying'er can't figure it out, if she doesn't go to Liaoguo, how can she become a sinner who endangers my Great Song Sheji?" ”

Li Dare touched his nose and said with a smile: "Hey, this Bianjing wants to go to Shangjing in Liaoguo to go to Yaoyao, and it will take a few months to go back and forth, but I'm afraid that as soon as I go this time, I will be regarded as a sinner by Xian'er and Ying'er!" ”

Zhao Ying gritted her teeth and said, "Then don't go, Ying'er will go to the official family to talk about it!" ”

Li Dare said to Zhao Ying: "Can the official family overturn the things decided by the mother?" ”

Zhao Ying stomped her feet and said, "But if we don't go to Liaoguo, what can we do to you and me to see the queen mother?" ”

Li Dang was stunned, he looked at Zhao Ying and said: "We, who said that we want to go with Ying'er, Brother Li is going to Liao as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty this time, what are you going to do?" ”

Zhao Ying said: "Can't envoys bring their families, but I often see some envoys from Fanren come to Bianjing with their families?" ”

Li Dang pondered for a moment and said, "This fairy can accompany me, but Ying'er, you still stay in Bianjing, right?" ”

Zhao Ying heard that Li Dang wanted to put on Xu Xian'er, but left herself in Bianjing, of course she was a thousand unwilling in her heart, and she was about to refute it, when she heard Xu Xian'er smile and say: "How can Brother Li favor one over the other, since Xian'er can go, why can't Sister Ying'er go together?" ”

Li Dang said with a smile: "The eldest brother is treating people this time, Xian'er has superb medical skills, so she can naturally become the eldest brother's assistant." However, Ying'er is a princess, if we go together, I am afraid that I, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, will be robbed of the limelight by Ying'er, and from the perspective of the eldest brother, Niang Niang and the official family will never let Ying'er go to Liao. ”

Zhao Ying fluttered her eyes and said with a smile: "Brother dare is afraid that the queen mother will not agree?" ”

Li Dang shook his head and said, "I still dare brother I don't agree, because Ying'er is a princess, in case the Liao people know your identity, they want to force you to stay in the Liao country, so that you can be taken hostage, it will be a bad thing." ”

Zhao Ying obviously didn't feel that the Liao Kingdom, who was friendly with the Great Song Dynasty, forcibly detained him, he waved his fist and said, "They dare!" (To be continued......)
