In the first year of Chonghe, in February, the ice and snow melted, and the grass grew and the warbler flew.

Nearly 10,000 refugees under Dulonggang gradually dispersed and returned, leaving a messy refugee camp, the villagers on Dulonggang cleaned up in an orderly manner, and on the official road under Gangxia, Zhu Biao said goodbye to everyone, and led Zhu Wu, Wu Song, Shi Qian, and Lu Fang to Jingnan.

In the southwest direction of Kaifeng Fuye, there is a small town, called - Zhuxian Town, Zhu Biao and his party of five people set off from Dulonggang, and traveled to half a day, and arrived at this town.

In a tea shed on the official road outside Zhuxian Town, Wu Song glanced at the town not far away, frowned slightly, and said to Zhu Biao: "San Lang, this Zhuxian Town is just an ordinary town, it's still early, why don't we hurry up, why stay here." ”

When Zhu Biao heard this, he smiled and said, "Quan Dang is tired of walking, rest his feet and look at the scenery." ”

Hearing this, Wu Song was stunned, and he didn't have the brains to figure it out, but his brother was not a person who enjoyed it, even when he passed by Tokyo City a few days ago, he didn't take a few more looks, and he stopped in this town.

Wu Song shook his head and looked at a few people around him, Zhu Wu is a delicate character, knowing that Zhu Biao will not be untargeted, there must be a reason to stop here, it is with a leisurely face, drinking tea leisurely; Shi Qian and Lu Fang often walk outside with Zhu Biao, and they have long been accustomed to the rhythm of their son-in-law, and they are also buried in dealing with the coarse tea in their hands.

"But there is a lot to see." Seeing this, Wu Song whispered, picked up the tea bowl in front of him, and said no more.

Pima came south to cross the Zhejiang River, and the Biancheng Palace was far away.

Who will be captured by the ZTE generals? The traitorous ministers of the country presided over peace.

The yellow leaf ancient ancestral hall is cold and rainy, and there are many green mountains and barren mounds and white clouds.

How to say goodbye to Zhu Xianzhen, and don't see the general playing a triumphant song.

Whether it is Wu Song, Zhu Wu or others, how can they know that the now little-known town in front of them will reverberate in the world after more than 20 years and become the last dance of the famous Yue Wumu in the decades of southern and northern wars.

About a stick of incense time, Zhu Biao put down the coarse tea in his hand and was about to get up, but at this time, on the official road outside the tea shed, two pairs of father and son who looked quite extraordinary came one after another.

At this time, the sun was still early, there were no guests in the tea shed, the two pairs of father and son sat next to the tea table of Zhu Biao and others, the father and son on the left were a little older, at this time the second child served tea, the father and son took out the dry food and put it on the table, and heard the father say.

"It's not far from Bianliang here, let's eat dry food and get on the road as soon as possible, so as not to delay the time of martial arts."

The latter listened to the words, just nodded slightly, looked around a few times, and said in a deep voice: "The martial arts examination is scheduled for next month, but the time is more than enough, only this time the official family called his father back to Beijing to envoy to the Jin country, but I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, the founding emperor of the Jin country, Wanyan Agu is the hero, several battles down, the Liao country is embarrassed, only with such a tiger and wolf country alliance, but I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse." ”

When the father heard this, his brows furrowed slightly, he sighed, and said in a low voice: "The official family wants to recover Yanyun, inherit the legacy of the previous emperors, and shine through the ages; Tong Guan remembered the teachings of the Divine Sect, and those who recovered the land of Quanyan were rewarded with fiefs and knights; Only these two people reached an agreement, even Cai Jing couldn't stop it, and he couldn't do anything for his father, he just did his best to obey the destiny of heaven. ”

Although the father and son are whispering, but they are still listened to by Zhu Biao, Yan Qing sent a letter back to Gang from Bianliang, Tokyo, a year ago, and the focus was on the official order, in the spring of the next year, send an envoy to cross the sea to envoy Jin Guo, and think that the father and son in front of them are the precedent of Song and Jin diplomacy, and the most stylish diplomats in the two Song Dynasty, Ma Zheng and Ma Kuo father and son.

The father and son, especially Ma Kuo, are the most legendary, contributed to the Song and Jin "Sea Alliance", witnessed the "recovery of Yanyun", "Jingkang Change", "Miao Liu Mutiny", had close contact with the Liao general Yelu Dashi, and also accompanied the Jin army of Wanyan Agu to attack Yanjing, was reused by Song Huizong, was degraded by Song Gaozong, Wuma Mountain uprising, resisted the Jin State, and maneuvered between the Song, Liao, and Jin regimes, and showed a rare strong demeanor in the "weak country diplomacy" of the Song Dynasty.

Zhu Biao slowly got up, walked to the table on the left, arched his hand towards the elder, and said with a smile: "Shandong Zhu Biao, I have seen Master Ma Zheng." ”

Without waiting for Ma Zheng to answer, he saw Ma Kuan raise his eyebrows, and hurriedly got up and said, "But Taishan Jun in person? ”

Zhu Biao bowed his head lightly, sat down, at this time Ma Zheng came back to his senses, looked at Zhu Biao meaningfully, and said in a deep voice: "On weekdays, I always heard that Shandong Taishan Jun helped the poor, benevolence and righteousness are unparalleled, and I can see it today, but it is enough to comfort my life, only my father and son and my son have never known each other, how does my son know the name of a certain one." ”

"A few days ago, when I passed through Bianliang, I heard rumors that the official family intended to send Master Ma Zheng to envoy the Jurchen, and I heard the words of your father and son, so I guessed it." Zhu Biao had no intention of covering it up and said bluntly.

Hearing this, Ma Zheng, Ma Kuo's father and son did not doubt him, let down their guard and chatted with Zhu Biao, but after a while, Ma Kuo turned his mind and said to Zhu Biao.

"The younger brother heard that Gongzi Okami often travels in the north, that is, Liao and Jin have also been there, and my father is about to send an envoy to Jin, if Gongzi knows the news of the north, I hope to inform one or two."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he smiled, this Ma Kuozhi was quick and eloquent, but it was no wonder that after he and his father went to the Jin State once, he provoked the banner of Northern Song Dynasty diplomacy and maneuvered between the Song, Liao, and Jin regimes with ease.

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment, and said to Ma Zheng: "Zhu Mou Zhilian Jin to resist Liao is a national policy set by the official family and the ministers of the DPRK and China, not a diplomatic envoy of Lord Ma Zheng can change, there is only one sentence Zhu Biao wants to say and listen to the adults, the disaster of the Jurchens is better than the Khitan, our Song Dynasty has been pressed by the Great Liao for a hundred years and can't raise its head, but the Jurchens can beat the Great Liao to the point of defeat and retreat, among which the joint adults must be able to figure it out; He drove away the jackal, but welcomed the tiger into the house, and the wolf hurt people, but the tiger wanted to eat people. ”

When the father and son heard this, they both frowned, and they didn't know what to say, just as Zhu Biao said, the national policy set by the imperial court is like this, how can a small envoy like Ma Zheng rebel, there is no Ma Zheng, and there are others.

Ma Zheng felt a burst of bitterness in his heart, and sighed deeply, it is better to go in person than those who have no experience, and it is better to listen to some news that is beneficial to my Great Song.

"Gongzi is a famous figure in the world, and he has some understanding of the Jurchens, Ma Zheng is presumptuous, and he also asks Gongzi to give advice." Ma Zheng got up and bowed to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao hurriedly supported Ma Zheng, and said: "If you follow Zhu's suggestion, your lord should find out the truth of the Jurchen in this trip, and not reveal the depth of my Great Song Dynasty, select delicate ministers in the court, and select martial arts in the forbidden army, and send an envoy to the Jin Kingdom together, highlighting the prestige of my Great Song Dynasty, and making the Jurchens jealous." ”

"No wonder Gongzi can move the world with fame and make the world's heroes admire, just these few words are better than the long speeches and quotations of the ministers in the court." Ma Kuojian said, but he couldn't stop nodding his head, and sighed towards Zhu Biao with reverence.

Ma Zheng also agreed, and the sorrow of the past few days was cleared by Zhu Biao's few words, and he praised Zhu Biao: "The words of the son, but it is Jin Shengyuzhen, which has benefited Ma Zheng a lot. ”
