After seeing the ceremony, the ministers sat down separately, followed by various speeches, and Shao Xi listened drowsily. I really don't understand what the use of these things on the scene is? Thinking about the little emperor having to face these things every day, Shao Xi felt quite sympathetic to him.

Before the banquet, Shao Xi offered the two large boxes of snacks he had prepared.

Although this gift is not too heavy, it is very characteristic of the Central Plains, and it cannot be eaten in Nanzhao on weekdays. Zhao Hongjin secretly praised Shao Xi in his heart for being a person with a heart, so he ordered someone to accept him and announce the official banquet.

The atmosphere of the Southern Zhao Dynasty was relatively casual compared with the Central Plains court, unlike the Jingyuan Dynasty, which paid great attention to banquet etiquette among the monarchs and ministers. At Nanzhao's palace banquet, the ministers were still talking and laughing, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, it looked a bit like a large-scale family banquet, and it didn't seem so restrained.

Because he had already had the experience of participating in the royal banquet in Jingyuan before, Shao Xi at this time was also able to deal with it, and it seemed that he was talking and laughing with the officials, but in fact, he was observing the relationship between the various factions in the Southern Zhao Dynasty.

Shao Xi found that the people who came to toast and talk to him at the banquet were all Wenchen, and they couldn't talk about any sincerity, obviously because they were so enthusiastic because of Han Zeng's intentions.

However, few people from the Wuchen Group came to greet him, just because Fu Zuoliang deliberately behaved sullenly at this time, deliberately creating a sense of alienation from himself, and the two factions in the court were so distinct, which was not a good thing for the Southern Zhao Kingdom.

The prosperity of the country lies in the harmony between the monarch and the minister, and the harmony will be made. Now the current situation of Nanzhao is that the monarch and the ministers are not harmonious, and there will be discord, which is really a huge hidden danger, and it is precisely because of this that Shao Xi can see the seams and intensify the sense of alienation in the Nanzhao court.

At this time, Han Zeng got up, took a wine glass and said to Shao Xi: "Lord Shao came from the Central Plains thousands of miles away, and he was tired all the way. The second is to thank Lord Shao for sending a pilgrimage to Nanzhao on behalf of your nobles, so that the two countries can become friendly countries and become good neighbors with each other from then on. This time, Lord Shao brought many rich gifts, which is enough to prove that your dynasty is full of sincerity in establishing diplomatic relations with our dynasty, and my pilgrimage lord will also return the favor, and my Nanzhao will also show my sincerity to express my gratitude to your dynasty. ”

Shao Xi hurriedly held the cup with both hands, and replied to Han Zeng: "Lord Xiangguo is really polite, Jing Yuan and Nanzhao are fortunate to have the king of Shengming, and it is only a matter of time before the two countries become friendly." Over the years, wars and turmoil have occurred frequently on the land of Kyushu, causing misery and misery among the people, and various states and countries are wary of each other, making people panic and soldiers in the grass. Now I have shown enough sincerity on the pilgrimage to show friendship, and I only hope that there will never be a war between Jingyuan and Nanzhao, and that it will be peaceful and peaceful, which is the blessing of the people of the two countries and the luck of the people. Xiangguo and the younger generations are all ministers, since they should do their best to share the worries of the monarch, and promote this matter that benefits the country and the people, it doesn't hurt for the younger generations to work hard, and the Xiangguo adults are so old that they are not exhausted, and they forget to sleep and eat, just to let the people of Nanzhao live a good life? ”

Han Zeng listened to Shao Xi's rhetoric, although he was humble and low-key on the surface, he was actually quite useful in his heart. Being able to be slapped in public by the envoys of Jing Yuanguo is also unique in the Southern Zhao court, so that he can show his identity and status in front of the little emperor, so that Zhao Hongjin attaches more importance to his existence.

didn't know that at this moment, in the eyes of Zhao Hongjin and Fu Zuoliang, he was just a fool who was fooled and lame by Shao Xi.

After Shao Xi and Han Zeng drank the wine in their cups, they hurriedly filled another glass and walked to the center of the main hall to bow to Zhao Hongjin to show their respect.

"The envoy is here to borrow the wine of Nanzhao to pay homage to the Holy Lord, may the country of Nanzhao be prosperous, peaceful and peaceful, may the people of Nanzhao live and work in peace and contentment, may the Holy Lord be in good health, all things will be smooth, and good luck."

This is the code that Shao Xi discussed with Zhao Hongjin and Fu Zuoliang before, as long as he toasts, Zhao Hongjin will take the opportunity to bring up the topic of the attack on the mission.

Zhao Hongjin saw Shao Xi coming to toast, and also picked up the wine vessel on the table in response, and at the same time said: "I have been looking forward to the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries for a long time, and now I have fulfilled my wishes, which is really a blessing for the people of the two countries. As the lord of Southern Zhao, it is also a great blessing for me to be able to witness this event after the coexistence of the two countries for more than 100 years. I would like to express my gratitude to you on the pilgrimage, and I also ask you to convey my thanks after returning to the court. At the same time, I would also like to express my gratitude to your envoy and hope that he will devote more efforts to the friendship between the two countries in the future, so as to benefit the people of the two countries. ”

Shao Xi hurriedly bowed down and replied: "The establishment of diplomatic relations between Jingyuan and Nanzhao is also something I look forward to on my pilgrimage, just so that the people of the two countries can stay away from the hidden dangers of war and coexist in peace for a long time." The Holy Lord is so young and wise, eloquent and strategic, and can think of the common people in the world, which is really a blessing for the people of Nanzhao, and the envoy is here to express his gratitude to the Holy Lord on my pilgrimage. As an envoy, it is also a lifelong honor for the envoy to be able to facilitate the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and I thank the Holy Lord for his appreciation and praise. ”

This high-pitched singing and rainbow fart actually attracted the applause of the whole house, and the ministers at the banquet echoed one after another, wishing the two countries to be reconciled forever, and wishing the Holy Lord a great future for generations to come.

In the midst of this song of merit and virtue, a discordant voice suddenly appeared, it was Fu Zuoliang snorted, and then slammed the wine vessel in his hand on the table.

Just like this, the Pinglan Hall suddenly quieted down, you must know that apart from Fu Zuoliang, who else dares to throw the wine vessel in front of the Holy Lord, who else has such courage? is even more because Fu Zuoliang is an important minister in the court, and his every move will affect other courtiers.

Therefore, Fu Zuoliang's actions immediately attracted the attention of the civil and military officials, and everyone stared at each other, only looking at what Fu Zuoliang was going to say. Who knew that the general just snorted and said nothing, and began to drink again.

Zhao Hongjin smiled awkwardly and said to Shao Xi: "Don't mind, your envoy, the general has always had a lot of complaints about the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, and I understand this very well. Men of the army! It is not surprising that I always want to conquer the Quartet and expand my territory, and I always feel that the matter of peace and reconciliation is just a corner of peace, and I will steal peace, which is not surprising, and your envoy should not take it to heart. ”

Shao Xi saw that the time was almost up, so he began to deliberately become angry, walked in front of Fu Zuoliang and gave a deep salute, with a smile on his face.

"How so? The general is so powerful and has good means, and the younger generation admires it very much, how dare he blame it? ”

Fu Zuoliang glanced at Shao Xi, didn't say anything, turned his head and continued to drink with the other military ministers, just as if Shao Xi didn't exist.

Shao Xi secretly admired in his heart, although this Fu Zuoliang was rude and rude, in fact, his acting skills were really online, and he showed his disgust for Shao Xi to the fullest, not to mention Han Zeng and the civil and military ministers in the palace, even Shao Xi himself felt that Fu Zuoliang really hated himself at this time.

At this time, Shao Xi pretended to be embarrassed and stood in place, and glanced at Zhao Hongjin out of the corner of his eye, Zhao Hongjin also understood at this time, and was busy pretending to play a round for Shao Xi and said: "Your envoy has traveled all the way to the mountains and the road, and it should be more than two months, right?" I don't know if this journey will be smooth? What are some of the most interesting things to do along the way? Can you talk to me and let me have a long insight? ”

The cooperation of the three of them can be said to be seamless, except for the three of them, no one present can see that this is a good show played by the three of them. Many people still felt embarrassed for Shao Xi, and many people secretly admired the Holy Lord for opening his mouth in time to relieve the siege, the Holy Lord had such self-cultivation at such a young age!

Shao Xi came to the center of the main hall again, arched his hand at Zhao Hongjin, and said with a slight dissatisfaction in his tone: "There are many interesting things that the envoy has encountered along the way this time, but in comparison, they are not as interesting as the following envoys on the way to Yongchuan City in the territory of Nanzhao, that is really thrilling and memorable, I wonder if the Holy Lord is interested?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Han Zeng, who was sitting on the side, showed a smug look on his face, he knew that Shao Xi was going to use the topic to play a role, and he was going to mention the attack on the mission and Fu Zuoliang's secret letter.

It seems that the negotiation between the two yesterday did play a role, Shao Xi is really going according to the previous plan of the two today, and he wants to point the finger at Fu Zuoliang at this palace banquet, and now he thinks that it is indeed a wise choice to cooperate with this Jingyuan envoy.

At this time, Zhao Hongjin also knew that today's plan had entered the theme, so he pretended to be curious and asked Shao Xi: "This is interesting, I can't imagine that the most interesting adventure that your envoy encountered along the way was actually in my Nanzhao territory, you can tell me quickly, what strange things have you encountered?" ”

"Does the Holy Lord not know about this? The civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty are now almost known to everyone, but only the Holy Lord does not know, I wonder if anyone deliberately concealed it? Since the Holy Lord asked today, then the envoy might as well say bluntly that his subordinates were ambushed by assassins in the Jiakou Valley on the way to Yongchuan City to lead the mission, and the entire mission almost lost their lives in the territory of the Southern Zhao Kingdom, but it was really tense and exciting, and I didn't expect that the hospitality of the Southern Zhao Kingdom was indeed a little special, but it was really novel. ”

Shao Xi deliberately said it in a weird way, secretly sneering, which was precisely according to Han Zeng's opinion, and he wanted to express his strong dissatisfaction when talking about this matter.

Han Zeng originally wanted Shao Xi to mention this matter in the form of expressing anger, but he didn't expect Shao Xi to play more, so he simply turned on the mockery mode directly at the little emperor, making the civil and military ministers in the hall sweat for him.

Because this incident did happen, it was really embarrassing for Zhao Hongjin to be said by Shao Xi, after all, Shao Xi really almost lost his life in the territory of Southern Zhao Kingdom, I believe that Shao Xi's emotions should also be true at this time.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Your mission was attacked by assassins in the territory of my Southern Zhao Kingdom, is this worth it? What is it that makes people so bold? ”
