In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and the Uighur Wujie Khan sent his eldest son, Yusupu, to the Great Song Dynasty to pay homage, and Zhao Zhen received the envoy in the Zichen Palace.

The Zichen Hall was the main hall of the Song Dynasty's monthly New Year, Wangda's meeting and the holding of the temple ceremony, and it was only used to receive the Khitan envoys before, but this time the Yusupu who received the Uighurs in the Zichen Hall showed that the courtesy to the Uighurs was extreme.

Yu Supu brought many gifts with Western characteristics, such as camels and cashmere carpets, the most important of which were twelve Uighur beauties.

When the twelve Uighur beauties with heart-shaped high buns and high-waisted long skirts presented Uighur dances to the Song Dynasty officials and the Empress Dowager in the main hall, Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked at Ye Pei, who was standing beside the Empress Dowager, with a smile.

After a dance, Yu Supu appeared on the Zichen Hall in a traditional Uighur costume.

He has a ruddy complexion, deep eye sockets, and a nose like an eagle's hook, which is obviously different from the appearance of the Central Plains people, but his eyes are firm and his complexion is kind, but he is no different from the Central Plains people.

Paying a big salute to see the official Zhao Zhen, Yu Supu got up and said respectfully: "Foreign Minister Yu Supu visited the official family and the Queen Mother of the Great Song Dynasty on behalf of his father Khan and his mother, and wished the official family of the Great Song Dynasty and the Queen Mother a long and healthy life, and the two countries will be reconciled forever." ”

Zhao Zhen, an official family, said calmly: "The Uighurs and our Great Song Kingdom have always shared weal and woe, and Prince Yusupu came from thousands of miles to worship in the Great Song Dynasty, which shows his sincerity. The diplomatic relations between the two countries will certainly live up to the sincerity of Wujie Khan and me. ”

Yu Supu said: "During the Tang Dynasty, I was married to the Uighur Khan by the princess, so the Uighurs called the Chinese Dynasty their uncle. Before this trip, my father Khan instructed me to call the Great Song official family 'the Han family's uncle'. ”

This Yu Supu is a few years older than Zhao Zhen, but he is called like this, which really makes Zhao Zhen cry and laugh, and secretly proud. "Prince Yusupu humbled himself. If the Uighur Usuke Khan had the same idea as my Great Song Dynasty, our Great Song Dynasty would always be open to trade with the Uighurs. ”

Yu Supu bowed to Zhao Zhen again, and praised in his mouth: "Uncle Han Family, Senior Official, Shengming!" Yu Supu got up and continued: "I don't know if there is any blessing in this trip, and I will marry the Great Song Dynasty, and ask my uncle to give a princess to marry my Uighurs, in the hope of eternal life." ”

Zhao Zhen "chuckled" in his heart, but he was still calm on the surface, and said lightly: "Three days later, the Great Song Dynasty and the team brought by the Uighurs will have a friendly match of Keju, if your country wins, then we will discuss the matter of peace between the Uighurs and the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Yu Supu smiled: "Then the foreign minister must go all out." ”

Next, Yu Supu handed over the credentials, presented the national gift and many other diplomatic etiquette, and tossed for two hours.

After the next court, Zhao Zhen said to the Empress Dowager Liu E: "Lady Niang, three days later is the Shuo Ri Dynasty Meeting, and the ministers want the eldest lady to help me preside over the Juju competition with the Uighurs, I don't know what the eldest lady wants?" ”

Liu E smiled faintly: "If the official family can deal with those ministers alone, I am willing to be lazy to watch the game." It's just that above the court, if there is any major matter, you must not rush to decide and think twice. ”

Zhao Zhen said respectfully: "This Keju tournament represents the interests of the two countries, and it is heavier than the court. If there is anything indecidable at the court meeting, the retainers will definitely bring it back and wait for the eldest lady to make a decision in person. ”

Liu E narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhao Zhen for a while before she said, "Then it couldn't be better." ”

Zhao Zhen was drummed in Liu E's heart, and only breathed a sigh of relief when she agreed, and said secretly in her heart: "Don't blame me for doing something to the person you trust!" ”

Liu E thought: "The official family is still too young to measure their own strength, I'm just afraid that I will taste the pain of failure this time!" ”

------

Three days later, in the Zichen Palace, the official Zhao Zhen wore a cirrus cloud crown on his head, wore a silk robe, sat on the dragon chair, and the courtiers and hundreds of officials were on both sides, solemn and solemn.

Outside the Zichen Palace, the Queen Mother Liu E wore a dragon and phoenix flower crown, a red vermilion robe, and a vermilion curtain embroidered with a cloud dragon, and sat on the high platform on the side of the court.

The following two teams are ready, eager to try, and jubilant.

I saw that the twelve players selected by the national dynasty, including Wang Junyi, Lin Zhu, and Shao Yingquan, were all wearing green clothes, green jackets, and blue turbans. The first person was wearing a narrow blue skirt, and it was Ye Pei.

The opposite team was all dark-eyed and eagle-nosed, dressed in red clothes, red jackets, and red turbans, and the first person had a red forehead tied on his head and a red tourmaline inlaid in the center, and this person was none other than the Uighur prince Yusupu.

The two teams first saluted the Empress Dowager Liu E, then exchanged favors, and then bowed to the correction officer and the social secretary, who were both referees.

The ball head then draws lots to determine the position and order of his team.

After that, each team will be determined by drawing lots, and stand on both sides of the rod net according to their own positions. On the east side is the dynasty, and on the west side is the Uighurs.

With a clang, the game began, and the guards beating the drums behind them vigorously beat the huge dragon pattern leather drum.

I saw Yu Supu take the lead in serving, he kicked the ball high and passed it to the seeball, and the seeball was passed to the Zheng, and then the Zhengzheng was passed to the head, and then the left pole net, scattered.

On the opposite side, the members of the Song Dynasty all stood still, staring at each other's every movement with serious expressions.

At this moment, Yu Supu shuttled before scattering, flipped the ball on his chest with his knees, and then raised his right foot, took the ball with him, and kicked the ball into the eye of the wind with the inside of his foot.

When Ye Pei saw the ball kicking over, he already admired in his heart: "It's really a good ball!" ”

She calmly flew up and jumped up, bounced the ball with her left shoulder, slowed down the rotation of the ball, and then passed it to Shao Yingquan next to her.

Shao Yingquan received the ball with his right shoulder and passed it to Lin Zhu, Lin Zhu passed it to Xiong Yonglin, and Xiong Yonglin passed it to Wang Junyi.

Wang Junyi took the ball and bounced it directly with his knee and kicked it vigorously to Ye Pei.

Ye Pei saw the ball flying, a "carp leaping dragon gate" hooked the ball to the sky, and another "eagle harrier turned over" spun the ball and kicked it through the wind eye, the ball speed is fast, the angle is tricky, and it is better than Yu Supu.

The Uighurs did not dare to underestimate the enemy, Yu Supu saw the ball flying, with the front of the chest to the ball, but the ball rotated and caused a side slide, the ball slid to the waist, he hurriedly bounced with his knees, barely caught the ball, and then hooked the ball with his foot, kicked it to the right pole net, and his heart was already a false alarm.

Yu Supu nodded admiringly at the heroic woman opposite and expressed his approval. Ye Pei also returned a smile.

When Yu Supu's ball was passed back to the east side of the net, Ye Pei showed no mercy, and without waiting for the ball to come out, he kicked the ball back and kicked it back directly into the field opposite the Merry Eye, so frightened that the Uighurs exclaimed in surprise and scrambled to catch the ball.

In the panic, the two Uighur players bumped into each other, and Yu Supu was far away and did not have time to catch the ball, but lost the ball and landed. The correction officer raised the small flag in his hand and shouted loudly: "Da Song has a chance!" ”

The guards who beat drums and stood on the feet were all Song people, happily cheering "Long live the national dynasty!" ”

At this time, the Uighurs looked at each other, their determined gazes becoming more serious, and each of them increased their seriousness tenfold, glaring at the Song members opposite.

Continuing to serve by Yu Supu, this time he exerted all his strength, kicked the ball high and passed it to the head, the head coercion lifted the ball high, higher than before, Yu Supu did not wait for the ball to fall, directly barbed the goal, and kicked into the merry eye.

The ball hit the ground, and the Song Dynasty players standing in front of the rod net couldn't save the ball, and lost points when they dropped the ball.

The commander raised the small flag in his hand again and shouted: "The Uighurs have a chance!" ”

In this way, the teams on both sides are chasing me, getting chips, and tying, the score is bitten in the slightest, and the atmosphere on the field is very tense.

------

At the same time as the atmosphere on the court was tense, the Zichen Hall was also solemn and abnormal.

After listening to a few pieces of music submitted by Zhao Zhen, the good show planned by him was about to start.

I saw Wang Qinruo, the governor of the political affairs, walking out of the ranks slowly, and said to Zhao Zhen: "The official family, the minister has something to do." ”

"What is the matter with the king's participation in politics?"

"The minister doesn't dare to speak out, please forgive the minister's innocence."

"It doesn't hurt for the king to participate in politics, and I forgive you for your innocence."

Wang Qinruo held the wat board and said solemnly: "The minister, please impeach Tongping Zhangshi." As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience.

I only heard Wang Qinruo continue to say: "Ding Wei, as the prime minister, overstepped his authority, deceived and did not report, and embezzled and accepted bribes. As he spoke, he took a piece of music out of the sleeve of his robe.

Chen Zhongyi, the chamberlain who was waiting in front of the palace, hurriedly trotted in front of Wang Qinruo, respectfully took the concerto, turned around and ran back, and handed it to the official Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen rolled his eyes and asked, "Is there any evidence for Wang Shenzheng to impeach Prime Minister Ding Wei?" ”

Wang Qinruo said calmly: "The minister naturally doesn't dare to talk nonsense, please ask the official family to ask the privy deputy envoy Ma Zhijie, and the deputy minister Xiang Min is the others." ”

Wang Qinruo's respectful, serious and calm appearance reminded Zhao Zhen of his face when he falsely accused Kou on time.

That was ten years ago, the first emperor Jingzong Zhao Heng was still alive, and Wang Qinruo was only forty-one or two years old.

During the "Lanyuan Alliance", the Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan of the Liao State and the Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu poured the troops of the whole country to the south, and captured several cities in a short period of time, directly approaching the city of Henan Yuanyuan.

Kou Zhun tried his best to lead the battle, while Wang Qinruo's faction was the main peace, and even moved to the south of the Yangtze River by the official family, and was scolded by Kou Zhun as a traitor.

Kou Zhun pulled the sleeve of the official family to prevent him from retreating from the court, and asked the official family to be sure to drive the expedition in person, and forced Jingzong to enter the most dangerous front line of the war, the northern city of Lanyuan. After that, Kou Zhun personally supervised the battle, deployed and arranged it, and boosted morale.

It happened that the crossbowman Zhang Huan shot the Liao commander Xiao Tzu Rin with a bed crossbow, which reversed the situation of the Song-Liao war, coupled with the negotiation of Cao Yu and others, and finally the Song and Liao signed a century-old peaceful "Lanyuan Alliance".

As a result, Kou Zhun made immortal achievements and was even named the Duke of Laiguo.

After the alliance between the Yuanyuan, Wang Qinruo was deposed because of his political differences with Kou Zhun and held a grudge in his heart. After he made achievements in the local area and was transferred back to the center, the first thing he did was to take revenge on Kou Zhun.
