Dali City, also known as Yang Tho Baa City, before the Erhai Lake, backed by Cangshan, from the Tang Dynasty Nanzhao State is the capital, Dali State continues the rule of Nanzhao, it will also continue this capital.

The news of the arrival of the Great Song Dynasty mission spread to the city of Dali very early, although there was little intersection between the two countries in the past, but the prosperity and wealth of the Great Song Dynasty in this era were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making countless foreign people yearn for it. Therefore, there is almost no need for the official to promote, and the people in Dali can be said to be out of the city, wanting to pay homage to the demeanor of the envoys of the great powers, and welcome the procession of the embassy out of the city for more than ten miles. Such a lively and chaotic scene couldn't help but raise the hearts of the whole court of Dali to their throats, lest something go wrong, and almost all the troops that could be mobilized near the capital were transferred to maintain order.

Zhao Ji had already changed into the official costume of the Great Song Dynasty, rode a pure white Dian horse with no variegation, and rode side by side with Duan Zhengchun, the king of the south of Dali Town. The front and back were all lined up, and the carefully selected soldiers of the forbidden army were also holding their chests and stomachs, holding high flags and striding through the sea of people. With such an aura, he is not angry but also self-threatening.

To be honest, Zhao Ji was also taken aback by the battle put forward by the Dali people, and he could barely see the ground of the city wall. Although the ceremonial service of the court of Dali also inherited the Tang system like the Great Song Dynasty, the folk also had their own national characteristics. The national style of the monarch and the ministers to worship the Buddha is also mild, and all regard the arrival of the Great Song Dynasty envoy as a great day, even if it is just a glance from a distance, the men and women are also dressed ceremoniously as if the New Year's Festival, which is very different.

Out of the city to welcome the Song people's mission of the three princes of Dali under the civil and military officials have been waiting outside the city under the color platform set up for a long time, everyone slowly marched all the way to the front, their own guards stepped forward to hold the horses, Zhao Ji threw the saddle off the horse, waiting for Cai Jing and others to come forward, and then under the leadership of Duan Zhengchun and these courtiers of Dali to salute.

The number of envoys was nearly 1,000, and it was impossible for all of them to enter the city, so there were only more than 100 people who followed Zhao Ji and others in the early stage. The others had already passed the Shangguan and were received and led to a special camp to be settled, waiting for a formal meeting with the lord of Dali before escorting the court's rewards into the city. As for the little girl Zhong Ling, Zhao Ji was worried that she would run around, so he brought it over.

In such a scene, Zhong Ling naturally couldn't show up. She also seemed to be taken aback by such a big scene, she had lived in Dali since she was a child, and it was only today that there were so many people in Dali! Even if she stayed in the carriage with the screen window closed, and there were guards on both sides to protect her, she still felt very cramped. Although there is no lack of bold side in her character, she has never seen such a huge scene after all. I only heard the buzzing and thundering voices of people on both sides of the road, and her pretty face was a little pale, and only Zhao Ji, who was riding a horse in front, occasionally entered her field of vision through the curtain, and felt a little steady.

She rested her two small fists on her knees, pursed her lips, and only stared wide-eyed to catch the figure of Zhao Ji in front of her. Several maids arranged by the king of Zhennan gathered in the corner of the carriage, and were looking out of the carriage while whispering in the local language of Dali. They thought that Zhong Ling couldn't understand the local dialect and local language, so there were some bold and explicit words between the words, probably saying that His Royal Highness the Prince of the Great Song Dynasty was extremely handsome and magnificent. The prince is paired with a white horse, and it is indeed a combination of ancient and modern times.

Hearing these words, Zhong Ling suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. She didn't know why the unhappiness suddenly sprung up, but she didn't want to listen to those maids discuss how Zhao Ji was fascinating. However, those maids quickly changed the topic, and even talked about Zhong Ling, talking about how lucky Zhong Ling was, and he was favored by the Prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and he envied the dead......

Hearing these words, Zhong Ling felt ashamed at first, she and Zhao Ji were clearly just friends, or even just the kind that had met a few times, but these people actually regarded her as a ...... But listening to it, the shame in my heart gradually overcame the annoyance, although I strongly disagreed with the whispers of the maids, the unhappiness in my heart gradually faded, looking at the swinging screen window and distracted, and unconsciously the pink cheeks were as rosy as rouge. Even if he didn't turn his head to look at the past, Zhao Ji's heroic posture on a white horse passed through his mind from time to time.

Rao is the big heart of Zhao Ji's traverser, in this high-profile situation, every move is related to the national body, and he is also so nervous that his palms are full of sweat, and his expression is slightly stiff, and he implements the etiquette that he has already memorized. However, seeing that the ministers in Dali seemed to be more nervous than him, he was much more indifferent, and turned to look at Cai Jing and other experienced envoys, with a straight face, and a demeanor between his actions, Cai Jing also gestured to Zhao Ji in his sleeve, signaling him to relax and not be nervous. Sure enough, everything needs to be experienced to have experience, and then Zhao Ji led a group of envoys, and between the front and back, he was much calmer.

Because today is only to welcome the Great Song Dynasty delegation and an informal pilgrimage meeting, so the etiquette is simple, and after about half an hour, the mission entered Dali City surrounded by hundreds of officials of Dali.

This mission carried the edict of the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to canonize the king of Dali, which was an extremely important thing for the Dali Kingdom, as long as it accepted the canonization of the Great Song Dynasty, it would be the official vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty from now on. Therefore, Dali still needs to make more careful preparations, and Duan Zhengming, the head of Dali, did not come forward to meet with the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty for the first time, and the mission also needs to stay in Dali City for a period of time, waiting for the Dali court to determine the date of official acceptance of canonization.

On the way, the three dukes of Dali came to seek the opinions of Zhao Ji and Cai Jing, the envoys, because of the placement of the mission. Although there are also embassies built in Dali to receive foreign envoys, most of them were received by the surrounding tribal leaders or small country missions in the past, and the grade used to receive the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty was a little worse. The opinion given by Dali is to arrange for the mission to temporarily live in the Tianlong Temple under the Cangshan outside the city, which is the Dali Temple, although it is not the place where the envoys are officially received, but many of the abdicated lords are monks in this place, so this Tianlong Temple is even more important than the palace in Dali, enough to receive the envoys.

In this regard, Zhao Ji did not express his opinion, but only listened to Cai Jing's advice. Cai Jing briefly discussed with everyone and agreed to Daliguo's arrangement. Immediately, Duan Zhengchun invited Zhao Ji to live in the Zhennan Palace, Zhao Ji was quite moved by this mention, and he also wanted to know Duan Yu, the prince of Dali, but he thought of separating from the mission, so he went to listen to Cai Jing's opinion. Along the way, Cai Jingpo gave Zhao Ji some appropriate guidance and reminders, and the tacit understanding between the two deepened a lot.

Cai Jing pondered for a moment and said, "It's not bad for the prince to live in the Zhennan Wangfu, so you can communicate directly with the Zhennan Wang." Alas, our envoy this time is still a little hasty, and the monarchs and ministers of Dali should still have some disagreements on how to maintain relations with our Great Song Dynasty. If there is a chance, the prince might as well talk to that Duan prince in depth......"

Although Cai Jing was not very specific, Zhao Ji probably understood what he meant. Regarding this envoy, the decision of the officials and the ministers of the New Party was indeed a little hasty, and they did not expect the current turbulent situation in Dali. Although the mission arrived in Dali along the way, whether it can succeed in canonizing the lord of Dali is only afraid that there will be some variables. The team that greeted the mission just now, Zhao Ji also saw some clues, although a group of ministers such as the three dukes of Dali were only Duan Zhengchun, but the problem was that although they had honorable positions, they had no real power. It seems that Gao Shengtai is also using this method to show his sense of existence, so that the mission should not ignore his existence.

Zhao Ji first followed the delegation to the Tianlong Temple, which was indeed built in the holy land of Dali, and the treasure was solemn, so that the envoys were amazed. Because he had to go back to the city to go to the Zhennan Palace, Zhao Ji didn't have time to visit the temple carefully, and after communicating with Cai Jing and other envoys for a while, he returned to Dali City with the officials of Dali.

Halfway through, Zhao Ji remembered that he wanted to explain to Zhong Ling, so he rode his horse to the carriage that Zhong Ling was riding and said, "Miss Zhong Ling, we will go to the South Wangfu of Nazhen to live in first." ”

When Zhong Ling heard this, Zhong Ling jumped out in the carriage and hurriedly said: "No, I can't go to that palace!" Brother Zhao, can't we go to the next place? Dali City is so big, and you are the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, they all have to respect you, must you go to the Zhennan Wangfu to live?"

Zhao Ji shook his head and said: "Although I am the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, in the territory of this Dali country, I must also respect the choices of others, and I can't do things too much according to my own temperament." ”

"That's right...... Brother Zhao, I haven't told you, my family seems to have a big enmity with the surname Duan of Dali, and my father set up a stone tablet at the door of his house and said that the surname Duan would be killed when he came to my house. I think that the prince surnamed Duan should also be reluctant to see my surname Zhong. I didn't even dare to tell you along the way......"

Zhong Ling said a little timidly, and immediately jumped out of the carriage and said, "Brother Zhao, you go, I have to go, I can't trouble you anymore." Don't worry, I'll go home by myself when I've had enough fun, and I won't cause trouble again. Goodbye, Brother Zhao, thank you for taking care of you all the way......"

Speaking of this, the little girl waved her hand to Zhao Ji and walked in another direction, but this time she turned around and took a step, but she suddenly felt empty in her heart. She only thought that she was a little sour in her heart because she had forgotten to do something, and she thought about it while walking, and after a while, she remembered that she hadn't returned the silk handkerchief to Zhao Ji. She raised her hand to pull out the silk handkerchief folded around her waist, but there was a clear reluctance in her heart, even if she comforted herself in her heart, Brother Zhao is such a rich family, and he may not care about this little silk handkerchief......

As he walked, Zhong Ling's pace became slower and slower, but when he remembered this difference, it might be difficult to see it in the future, but Zhao Ji didn't even say goodbye. She was a little dissatisfied in her heart, turned her head, looked at Zhao Ji and shouted, "Won't you say goodbye to me?"
