Da Chu's envoy is really young, he looks just like the crown, Lin Qingwan just glanced at him, and then couldn't help but look at the old man behind him. ~with~dream~small~say~щ~suimеng~lā

It should be his deputy envoy, walking two steps behind him, but calm and sophisticated, with a calm temperament, it may not be noticeable at first glance, but as long as you see him, it will definitely be difficult to look at others in your eyes.

It can be seen that he has tried his best to reduce his sense of existence, but not only Lin Qingwan, but other ministers in the court and the central government also quickly discovered him, and they all wanted to get up in surprise, and sat down again when they remembered something.

Everyone couldn't help but look at the emperor who was headed, and they were a little surprised.

How could Ji Yuan of Jiangling appear in the ranks of the envoys of Great Chu? Some people who knew Ji Yuan frowned, and they were all worried, couldn't it be that Jiangling and Da Chu were going to form an alliance?

Lin Qingwan saw that the official Shangshu on her right hand had a solemn face, and couldn't help but look at Zhong Ruying on the left, and asked in a low voice, "Who is he?" ”

Although it was not specified, Zhong Ruying knew that she was asking the old man, and she said in a slight voice: "Jiangling Ji Yuan, one of the great Confucians in the world, Jiangling can become a holy place for literati because of him." ”

That's a hugely influential figure.

Lin Qingwan lowered her eyes and drank tea, covering her gaze.

Lin Jiang studied under Lu Yang, Lu Zhen, Wang Jin and Ling Yun, who were the former Guozi priests, and he also taught in Guozixue and Taixue, which can be said to be full of peach and plum, but compared with Ji Yuan, Lu Yang is even worse.

Ji Yuan's age is younger than Lu Yang, but his teaching years are much longer than Lu Yang's, when he became famous, it was the strongest Liao State, when he attacked everywhere, Lin Ying was still there, and only then drove the Liao army out of Daliang, it was when Daliang was the weakest.

Because of the presence of Lin Ying in Daliang, the Liao State diverted its attention and began to harass Da Chu, and even entered Jiangling through the territory it occupied, wanting to swallow it in order to tie a nail between Da Liang and Da Chu.

Ji Yuan was two years younger than Lin Zhi at that time, but from Jiangling to Daliang, he first passed the Jinshi examination, and then wrote to Lin Ying when he entered the palace and conferred the official, hoping that Daliang could form an alliance with Dachu Jiangling and defeat Daliao together.

At that time, the courtiers of Daliang thought he was laughing, but they looked at him with a dead man's gaze.

You must know that Daliang was in trouble before, and the emperor was forced to flee to Yangzhou with the royal family, but he also had a credit for Dachu and Jiangling Mansion.

If they hadn't fallen into the well and taken the opportunity to attack Daliang, how could their Liang army have been defeated so quickly?

And it was because the royal family moved to Yangzhou that the two princes had the opportunity to attack the Lin family in Suzhou.

Da Liang is not restrained in his talents, and he does not care about his status as an enemy country, but he will not allow him to act in Da Liang but planning for Jiangling.

Everyone thought that Lin Ying would kill him, you must know that Lin Ying was the "regent" at that time, but Ji Yuan persuaded Lin Ying, not only that, but he also sent an envoy to Da Chu on behalf of Da Liang, and also persuaded Da Chu, and even the Southern Han Dynasty, which did not border the Liao State, was persuaded by him, and the four countries sent troops together to directly drive the Liao army out of the border, especially the Liang army, under the leadership of Lin Ying, directly attacked the capital of Da Liao, slaughtered most of their royal family, and directly injured the other party's vitality, and has not returned to the vitality until now.

If Lin Ying and the Lin clan behind him are one of the most hated people by the Liao people, then Ji Yuan is their second hated person.

Ji Yuan became famous in the first battle, but he did not become an official, whether it was in Daliang, Dachu, Southern Han or his ancestral hometown Jiangling, he did not come out, even if there were several emperors Lixian corporal, three times to look at the thatched house.

Including Lin Ying, the grandfather of Jin and Lin Qingwan, both of them had pleaded with Corporal Lixian, but Ji Yuan still decided to go back to Jiangling Mansion to teach.

His decision was also proved to be the right one.

He runs a school in Gangneung, and the students he accepts are not limited to rich or poor, nor are they bound by national borders, as long as they can go to Gangneung, he accepts them all.

In this case, Jiangling Mansion has become a holy place for literati, and in the past few decades, Jiangling Mansion has been able to divide one place with one government and not be swallowed up by Dachu and Daliang because of these literati.

Even if it was Lin Jiang and Lu Zhen, they had also traveled to Jiangling to study, and Jiangling Mansion would not detain and kidnap them, and because of this, Lu Zhen never thought of leading his troops to attack Jiangling, Lin Jiang proposed that Daliang first collect the Southern Han Dynasty, and then attack Fujian, but he never thought of moving the smaller Jiangling Mansion first.

Ji Yuan has always been independent and impartial, in recent years, Jiangling has changed a crown prince, and the emperor has become unconscious, and there is constant friction with Daliang Dachu, but he has never instigated his students to make trouble.

You know, his students are all over the world, and if there is really a trouble, it is not certain who will lose and who will win.

Ji Yuan's attitude of not helping each other is revered by the world, so his sudden appearance in the team of the envoy of the State of Chu is so shocking.

Some courtiers who recognized him were already ready to move, and wanted to stand up and salute, but they were concerned about the relationship between the two countries.

Even Lu Zhen looked at him in astonishment, speechless for a while.

Lin Qingwan had naturally heard of Ji Yuan, and even saw an account of him in Lin Zhi and Lin Jiang's notes more than once, and even made a note in Lin Ying's handwriting.

Although she had never met him, she also admired him very much, after all, it was difficult to set up a college equivalent to a mixed university in this troubled world with the power of one person, which could accept students from all over the world.

Moreover, all countries have recognized this academy, and whoever goes to Gangneung to study will not be suspicious when they come back, and they will be given the attention they deserve.

Do you run to Da Chu or Da Liao to try? If you don't take you as a detail when you come back, you will definitely be wary and worried, and you won't dare to use it.

The first thought that flashed through Lin Qingwan's mind was, "Does Da Chu have hostages who can threaten Mr. Ji?" ”

That's what she thought in her heart, and that's what she asked Zhong Ruying.

Zhong Ruying's eyes narrowed, and she said in a low voice: "Then Da Chu is really looking for death." ”

Lin Qingwan said: "I'm afraid not." ”

Zhong Ruying pursed her lips and didn't speak.

There was a commotion in the main hall for a while, and the envoys of Da Chu had already come close, bowed slightly, and handed over Da Chu's state letter.

The emperor took the letter of state and flipped through it, then he crossed the envoy and looked directly at the deputy envoy and said, "This is Mr. Ji?" ”

Ji Yuan indifferently saluted Emperor Liang again, "Ji Yuan, the deputy envoy of the State of Chu, pays a visit to His Majesty the State of Liang." ”

Emperor Liang hurriedly got up and went down the steps to personally help the person up, looked at him and said excitedly: "It's really Mr. Ji, I didn't expect to see Mr. again in my lifetime, Sir, please take a seat." ”

The ministers were relieved to see that the emperor was courteous to Ji Yuan, and the courtiers who had studied in Jiangling when they were young still looked at Ji Yuan with excitement.

The corners of Lin Qingwan's mouth curled slightly, Your Majesty is really naughty.

The envoy's face was a little ugly, but Ji Yuan sighed slightly in his heart, broke away from Emperor Liang's hand, took a step back and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is now the envoy of Dachu, and it is good that Your Majesty is an envoy of a country with diplomatic relations." ”

Chen Shangshu spoke: "Diplomatic relations? Da Chu and my Da Liang had diplomatic relations before, but Da Chu had been torn up not long ago. ”

Although the other ministers who had an old relationship with Ji Yuan did not speak, they nodded secretly, which is good.

Ji Yuan didn't speak, but looked at the envoy, and the envoy smiled at Emperor Liang: "Our emperor is also a peace-loving emperor, if your country also has intentions, this diplomatic relationship can be renewed." ”

Emperor Liang sank his face, turned around and sat back on the dragon seat, and snorted coldly: "Emperor Chu loves peace? Then why did you take the initiative to attack my beam? ”

"This is most likely a misunderstanding on the part of Your Majesty," the envoy said: "There are some differences on the border between our two countries, so that the skirmishes have been continuous, if General Zhong had not gone too far and rashly slaughtered my Da Chu soldiers, my Da Chu soldiers would not have gathered in anger." ”

"Hmph, you will shirk your responsibility, it is obvious that your Chu army harassed our borders, and General Zhong legitimately fought back in order to protect our border people." The official Shangshu also went back, no matter how much he cared about a woman leading the army, it was also their country, and he couldn't be bullied.

They can't talk about Ji Yuan, are they still afraid of this yellow-mouthed child?

So, before the envoys of Great Chu celebrated their birthdays, everyone attacked each other before you came and went, and the emperor sat on it and watched silently.

Lin Qingwan looked left and right, and saw that the ladies were all staring at it, forgetting that today was the emperor's birthday, she couldn't help coughing lightly, turned around and said, "Your Majesty, today is your Qianqiu, it's better to discuss these state affairs later, how about we celebrate your birthday first?" ”

She smiled slightly and said, "The minister is also curious about what birthday gift the Chu Kingdom will give to His Majesty. ”

The envoy glanced at Lin Qingwan and saw her sitting under Zhong Ruying, and couldn't help but be slightly surprised, guessing her identity in his heart.

But a smile appeared on his face and said, "This is my great Chu's congratulatory gift to Emperor Liang for his thousand autumns." ”

Ji Yuan also glanced at Lin Qingwan, and unlike the envoy who was still thinking in his heart, he recognized Lin Qingwan's identity almost instantly.

Who else can sit at the head of Zhong Ruying in today's Liang, besides Lin Qingwan?

Looking at her somewhat similar face to the old man, Ji Yuan was even more sure.

This war of words ended with the birthday ceremony of the Chu State, and Da Liang did not bully them, invited them to take a seat, and then everyone began to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and by the way, he observed the birthday gift sent by Da Chu.

The birthday gift given by Da Chu is very rich, in order to show the demeanor of a great country, there is also a jade Ruyi used by Emperor Wu.

Although none of these things can be exchanged for cash, they are still sent by the enemy country, but Emperor Liang is still very happy.

With a wave of his hand, he let people accept it, and then rewarded him with a glass of wine, which was regarded as a thank you for Emperor Chu's congratulations.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly and drank the glass of wine, Ji Yuan next to him silently looked at the wine glass in front of him and did not move, his heart was calm, and he did not remind the envoy.

This made Lu Zhen, who had been secretly paying attention to him, feel relieved, and only then did he find that his mouth was a little dry, and when he picked up the wine glass, he was about to take a drink when he found that Lin Qingwan on the other side also had a relaxed face, and as soon as he withdrew his gaze from Ji Yuan, he couldn't help but move in his heart, and stared at Lin Qingwan.

Lin Qingwan just retracted her gaze and raised her head to look at the main hall, so she met Lu Zhen's eyes directly, she was slightly stunned, then pursed her lips and smiled, raised her glass and saluted the other side.

Lu Zhen raised his lips and smiled, and gave a glass in return, he lowered his eyes and thought: It is worthy of Lin Jiang's sister, they are all human spirits, how old is this.
