Chapter 733 Cooperating Well Today

The military officer was hiding behind timidly, but when he heard this, he ran out quickly, knelt down on the ground, and said:

"Your Majesty! I am the commander of the western camp of the Chinese army, and the general He Lan is very real. I have absolutely no intention of disobeying your majesty. It's just that the commander of the northern camp is supposed to be on duty today, but he's overwhelmed." Things have been leaking, so I had to notify me to make up, the time was too tight, and I didn't have time to go home and change clothes."

He Lan Manzhen had broad shoulders, and when he knelt down on the ground, his body appeared to be very low, a bit stocky, and his head was small, but it looked like he had brute force.

With such a stature, but an extremely humble attitude, it seems that there is a sense of contrast.

When the emperor heard this, his anger subsided a lot, his voice became much gentler, and he raised his voice and said:
"Get up, the old rules, when you go to court, hand over a piece of silk to the household department as a punishment."

"Yes." He Lan Manzhen got up from the ground in response, and lowered his head to hide among the crowd at the end.

There was a brief silence in the hall...

Emperor Ulay asked:
"Where did you just say?... If there is no objection, then follow what Shen Shizhong said, and the Tingwei Mansion should seize the time to draft a legal statement."

The Southern Lord of the Xianbei tribe is a fat man, and he has the most concubines in his house. At this time, he suddenly mustered up the courage to come out and ask:

"This...restricting the number of concubines, I have no objection, but the number of people...does it have to be discussed?"

Shen Liuzhen immediately answered with a smile:
"It's natural... as the saying goes, if you don't have one concubine in white clothes, a rich family can have three wives. This number is naturally linked to your status and status, and you will never be wronged. After all, my family has raised many, please rest assured ...It has been decided, and it will be circulated to all the adults when the time comes, everything can be discussed."

Afterwards, they discussed other matters scatteredly. The courtiers reported the situation on the northern border, the construction progress of the grottoes, and some problems.

When it came to these matters, Shen Liuzhen seldom opened his mouth, as if he was standing aside as a pillar.

Some people can't help but slander in their hearts, this guy is really just picking up what His Majesty wants to hear, it's flattering and extreme, it really seems that he is useful.

There are also some perceptive people who are naturally a little skeptical. I am afraid that Shen Liuzhen's coming to the court today is just to make a case for the fact that the daughter of the western lord was robbed and sold, and take the opportunity to reduce the privileges of their Xianbei people.

But doubts are doubts, so what can be done...

Master Xixi has put such a big deal on his own, and even His Majesty said that it was for him to vent his anger.If they stop it, it seems that they don't take Master Xi's grievances to heart.

Master Xi has no reason to stop them, let alone them... Your Majesty's lesson is justified, and you don't know what to say if you object...

It took a lot of time just like this. When he was about to retreat, the emperor Wu Lei, who was sitting on the throne, let out a sigh of relief, and said in a light tone:
"The Southern Dynasty sent a letter of credence, saying that they want to sign a ten-year peace treaty with Wei Guo. This is a good thing, and there is nothing to discuss. They just want to see General Xie Yuanxie by name."

When the people in the court heard this, they all whispered.

Xie Yuan surrendered and came with 600,000 troops, although among the 600,000, only 400,000 were able to fight, and the 200,000 were all scattered logistics personnel accompanying the army.

But that number is quite a lot. The Han people themselves are much more than the Hu people, and they have cast such a large army from the Southern Dynasty.

Although in order to stabilize those people, they were all sent to Chuzhou to open up wasteland and cultivate fields for self-sufficiency. They basically broke away from the combat mode and became a group of farmers with military ranks.

However, after all, it was one of the most powerful armies in the Song Dynasty, and it might be a double-edged sword.

Then why did the emperor of the Southern Dynasty send someone to sign the contract and insisted on seeing Xie Yuan?That's not what I wanted to say.

Any fool knows that he must not say something beneficial to Wei Guo.

The luxurious emperor leaned on the soft pillow beside him, glanced at the reaction of the courtiers with the end of his eyes, and said:
"If you want to meet, see you. Xie Yuan is Shen Shizhong's family. No one should doubt Shen Shizhong's loyalty to the court, right? It's just who to send as the chief envoy. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

At this time, the northern lord raised his hand very suddenly, and volunteered to say:
"The minister is willing to take on this important task."

The northern lord is usually very quiet, and it is reasonable to speak out today because of the restriction on the number of privately kept concubines.

But at this time, he was so active suddenly that everyone was shocked. They all turned their heads to look at him, and even forgot the candidate they were going to recommend in their hearts.

Under the gaze of everyone, the Lord North withdrew his fat hand a little embarrassedly, wiped his curly beard with his hand, and said with a smile:

"Since it is decided to sign a peaceful contract, no matter what, you have to entertain with courtesy. There are many kinds of fun in the minister's house, and you can have fun playing. I will definitely let the envoy of the Southern Dynasty..."

His eyeballs rolled, as if he was thinking of some words, and he answered after a long while: "I'm so happy."

It is obvious what it means to be happy.It was originally an enemy, but because of the good hospitality, the other party didn't even want to go home.

Wouldn't this just prevent the envoys from the Southern Dynasty from trying their best to persuade people to rebel?

Emperor Ulay looked at him with his eyes. Although he felt that he was suitable, he was still surprised by his sudden positivity, so he didn't speak.

The northern lord saw His Majesty's expression that could not be seen to be happy or angry, and immediately panicked, and quickly explained:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the minister's tricks are all serious. There is absolutely no such thing as disregarding human life and abusing diva servants for fun."

Ulay smiled and said gently:

"I know, don't I know you yet? That's fine, it's up to you. The main envoy will be Shi Yucaizhuang, the master of the west, and the deputy envoy Zhong Lang will accompany Xie Yuan and Shen Shizhong as family members."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the Han ministers in the court froze:
I have never heard of calling a man a family member, and he still serves as a foil for his own woman, which is somewhat too impolite.

Some of them moved their lips, especially wanting to correct Your Majesty's mistake in Chinese words.

But still hesitating not to speak, Shen Liuzhen was well-behaved and thanked happily.

Who needs to speak now?The other party, the favorite student of the Xie family, is well-educated, does he not know that there is something wrong with this term?
But looking at his happy face, he obviously didn't feel anything at all... I have to say, Shen Shizhong's face is really thick.Everyone said so in their hearts.

……

……

After the court, Emperor Shi Yu Wulei still left Shen Liuzhen alone to speak.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled as they walked towards the back hall where the emperor lived. Shi Yu Wulei glanced at him and said:
"Today's cooperation was good, I never thought it would be so smooth..."
