Su Chaoyun is also here today.

When Song Yu came to him, he read a letter in his hand with a solemn face.

Seeing Song Yu come in, he put the letter aside, and asked with a smile, "Are you going to the Ministry of Rites?" ”

Song Yu sat down and sighed: "Uncle, what do you mean by the official family?" ”

"What do you mean?" Su Chaoyun asked rhetorically, and without waiting for Song Yu to speak, he continued: "Go over there, you follow your own ideas, what can a young and majestic wolf do when he enters the flock?" ”

"Isn't it clear enough from the official family to you?"

As soon as these words came out, Song Yu immediately understood that the official family should tell Su Chaoyun about summoning him.

He frowned and said, "But I still don't understand ......."

"What's so incomprehensible about this?" Su Chaoyun looked at Song Yu, "Those targets that used to be targeted against Ling have basically ended, from now on, you can practice hard, work hard to improve your cultivation, and deal with new challenges." ”

"This time I went to the Ministry of Rites, and in the face of the Northern Qi Mission, don't hide it, let alone be submissive...... Of course, that's not your character, it's exactly what the officials value you. ”

"If they provoke, just kill them?" Song Yu asked bluntly.

"That's right!" Su Chaoyun said.

"Aren't you afraid of contradictions and disputes between the two countries because of this?" Song Yu asked again.

"Hehe, don't be afraid!"

Su Chaoyun suddenly laughed happily, picked up the letter on the table and raised it at Song Yu.

"The chief manager has a letter, the 100,000 elite Chen soldiers in Western Liao are not coming at us, but guarding us."

Song Yu: "Guarding against us?" ”

"Yes, Western Liao has been fighting with Northern Qi for many years, and it was because of the two-front battle of Northern Qi that we were given a chance. Now that the Northern Qi Dynasty has begun to decline, the Western Liao has taken the opportunity to launch a fierce counterattack, and it is being lively. The troops are stationed on our border, mainly to prevent us from taking the opportunity to fight over. This time, the Northern Qi delegation came over, and nine times out of ten, it was also for this matter. ”

Song Yu was surprised: "Isn't it to ask the official family to marry the eldest princess?" ”

Su Chaoyun said: "Yes, they always wanted to tie Zhao Guoguo to the chariot through marriage, so that we could send troops to fight Western Liao, but the Emperor Taishang of Northern Qi is a hungry ghost and always covets our eldest princess." ”

"Shameless stinking dog." Song Yu scolded.

"So you don't have to think too much, our family knows, but if you are a child of the Han family, you are full of resentment in your chest in the face of Northern Qi, and it is normal for you not to want to go to the Ministry of Rites to bend your knees. But this time is different, if they are polite and honest, that's it; If you are still as arrogant as before, you don't have to get used to their stinky problems, just smack your big mouth hard! ”

"That's what the official asked you to do in the past! Change people, either too reckless and unreasonable; Either it's too Sven, even if it's hard-boned, it can't beat others. ”

"Only you are the most suitable, full of crooked words, if you are hanging in the river, you can beat people!"

Song Yu: No, uncle, I'm a Sven scum?

After all, the people who fought with Northern Qi on the battlefield, whether it was Su Chaoyun or Li Chaoen, were not people who were used to children.

In the face of provocations, it is always "to repay grievances with straightforwardness", and it is never possible to expect them to repay grievances with virtue like some spineless ministers in the imperial court.

"I'm sure it's not the past groveling, I can turn my face and fight back when they find fault, right?"

"I'm sure, the chief manager is sure, and the officials are sure!"

"Okay, then I got it." That's what you said, uncle.

……

……

Ministry of Rites.

Inside the council hall.

A group of people are busy in a tense and orderly manner.

The Northern Qi delegation would arrive at Lin'an City in two more days, and they needed to go ten miles out of the city to meet them.

In fact, according to the rules set at the beginning, when the suzerain's envoy came, Zhao needed to go out of the city for hundreds of miles to greet him.

It's just that the official family has never really let the Ministry of Rites carry it out, and the farthest one is only twenty miles out of the city.

As for this time, according to Shangshu Chen Qun's meaning, going out of the city to welcome three or five miles is considered to be very face-saving.

Although the military situation of Western Liao's fierce counterattack on Northern Qi has not yet spread, six Shangshu like Chen Qun have already received news from the official family in advance.

Knowing that Northern Qi came over this time, it belonged to Zhao Guo.

The two countries are already as deep as the sea, and if they still have to keep their voices low at such a time, they will drown in the spit from the people.

But the right squire Wen Mo Wen Huacai has a different point of view.

The left attendant of the Ministry of Rites is always in the air, and almost all kinds of daily work are presided over by this right attendant.

His point is clear -

"Putting aside the grievances between the two countries, how could Zhao, as a state of etiquette, make such a disrespectful act? Fighting a war is a matter for the military, diplomatic relations is a matter for the Ministry of Rites, and to show the beauty of a great country and the civilization of the Han people, we must use the highest etiquette and the most sincere attitude to let those distinguished guests of the Northern Qi mission see the style of our Zhao country and be impressed by it......"

Under his arguments, it was finally settled on ten miles.

In addition, this right waiter was very dissatisfied with the fact that Song Yu, an outsider, became a "welcome envoy".

"A martial artist who doesn't have any merit on his body, I don't know where he heard a few ancient sayings, so he brazenly took it as his own, and deceived a few points of fame in Shilin; He was also favored by the privy envoy and became the silver medal commander of the Demon Prison Division, and he also held three disciplines...... I heard that he was a supreme official in the Demon Prison Division, slack and lazy, why did such a person enter the Ministry of Rites to participate in the welcome? Aren't you afraid that because of him, you will make a mess, and make the guests dissatisfied and ridiculed for losing your national body? Can he afford to affect the diplomatic relations between the two countries? ”

Chen Qun didn't bother with Wen Huacai about going out of the city for ten miles to greet him, others didn't know, he knew Wen Huacai's roots, and after he was a junior sergeant, he took Chu Qinghui's line.

When I was with them on weekdays, when I talked about Chu Qinghui, the prime minister, I would call him a "benefactor", showing the flattering villain's face to the fullest.

But it has to be said that it is useful.

Since Wen Huacai entered the door of Chu Qinghui, he has been rising all the way.

There were even rumors before that Chu Qinghui considered transferring him away and letting Wen Huacai take over the post of secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Later, it seemed that the official family did not agree, so it was over.

On weekdays, Wen Huacai likes to work with him, and always tries to put him in the air.

Now that he is lashing out at Song Yu, it is equivalent to slapping him, a scholar who appreciates Song Yu.

He couldn't bear it.

Chen Qun glanced at Wen Huacai, and said quietly: "Loyal and patriotic, diligent and benevolent, these eight words are the praise of the official family to Song Yu in the holy decree, how come it came to the mouth of the squire, you became a supreme official, slack and lazy?" The squire thinks it's because the official family doesn't know anyone, or is it because you're a squire...... Smarter? ”

As soon as these words came out, the chamber was instantly silent.

The image of the first and second in command tearing their faces almost in public made the air almost freeze.

Wen Huacai said with a dark face: "Is Shangshu's words a little excessive?" I've said it all, I heard ......."

Chen Qun said lightly: "So the squire means that what you say by hearsay is more accurate than the evaluation given by the official?" ”

"I ......" Wen Huacai was suddenly speechless.

was hilarious for a while, forgetting the stubble of the holy decree, but Chen Qun seized the opportunity to output it, and it was indeed a little overwhelming.

On weekdays, this old dog is very good at forbearance, and in the face of some of his provocations, he almost never chooses to respond positively, how can he say that when it comes to this Song Yu, he will explode in an instant?

What if he's your illegitimate son?

"Therefore, people, especially those in our Ministry of Rites, should be cautious in what they say and do, and there is something in their words, like this kind of hearsay, don't say it easily in the future, if someone accidentally passes into the ears of the official, what will the official family think?" Chen Qun looked at Wen Huacai and said lightly.

At this time, someone came in from outside and saluted Chen Qun and Wen Huacai: "Shangshu, Shilang, Song Yu is here, and he is waiting outside." ”

Chen Qun glanced at Wen Huacai, who was pale, stood up with a smile, and said: "The envoy appointed by the official family is here, this is a messenger, go out to greet him, don't let the envoy think that my Ministry of Etiquette is contemptuous." Didn't the waiter say it, Ministry of Rites, you have to know the etiquette! ”

As soon as he moved, everyone got up, and although Wen Huacai was reluctant, he could only stand up.

……

……

Song Yu was startled by the battle in front of him.

Chen Qun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, walked in front, followed by Wen Huacai, the right attendant with a stiff expression.

Behind is a large group of officials of the Ministry of Rites in various colors.

If it weren't for the smile on Chen Qun's face, just looking at Wen Huacai's expression, I would have thought that he had come to fight with him.

"Song Xuanzheng, Song Envoy, haha, I've been looking forward to it, I've finally looked forward to you, but I'm waiting!"

Chen Qun's face was filled with a warm smile, and he took the initiative to step forward, and without waiting for Song Yu to give a salute, he directly took his arm and said very affectionately: "I have been famous for the envoy for a long time, and when I finally met, I was as handsome as jade, alas, like you, it is really a pity not to come to the Ministry of Rites!" ”

Song Yu was somewhat unaccustomed to the enthusiasm of this Lord Shangshu, so he could only show a standard smile: "Thank you Lord Shangshu for your love, the lower officials will come as soon as they receive the notice!" ”

"Haha, it's good, it's good!" Chen Qun pulled his arm, "Come on, come on, let me introduce you, this is the right waiter of our Ministry of Rites, the Wenmo who knows the etiquette the most in the entire Ministry of Rites, Lord Wenhuacai!" ”

Wen Huacai nodded to Song Yu with a dark face, and said indifferently: "You are the envoy sent by the official family?" Don't know if you have any experience in the past? If the envoy has no relevant experience, he hopes to see and listen more, talk less and do less, so as not to affect the big things and make people feel that it is rude to the Ministry of Rites. ”

Hey!

It's interesting.

The first hand is smiling and enthusiastic; The second-in-command is as cold as ice, and he takes the initiative to find fault?

Song Yu glanced at Chen Qun and a group of officials of the Ministry of Rites with different expressions behind him.

He bowed his hand slightly at Wen Huacai, and replied neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Before I went down, I had met Wen Shilang. ”

Chen Qun picked an "oh" in his voice, a little surprised: "You have seen it?" ”

Wen Huacai said: "I don't remember. ”

Song Yu looked at him: "I went to bid farewell to Liu Tong and Liu Langzhong that day, Wen Shilang was also there at the time, probably because he had some misunderstanding with the lower officials, and when he left, he came over and glared at me, which scared me a lot, and I was scared for a long time after I went back." ”
