Your majesty is awesome

Chapter 619 Who should the Great Song Dynasty be the envoy of He Liao's birthday (second update)
In the early morning of the next day, a group of officials who went to the Chuigong Hall saw Yang Jian standing in front of the Chuigong Hall and informed a group of important court officials.

The official's family is ill, and today's court meeting is cancelled. Although the officials said nothing on the surface, in their hearts, they are cursing and cursing at this stupid king who doesn't always go to the morning court.

Since you don't hold a court meeting, why didn't you know to notify in advance, so that I didn't even dare to sleep with Xinna's concubine too tired, for fear that I wouldn't be able to get up the next day.

"Is the official family really sick?" Cai Jing approached the officials when they were almost gone, and asked in a low voice.

Faced with this Cai Xiang who had already succumbed to the officials on the issue of the third secretary, and once again won the favor of the officials.

Yang Jian could only look at Cai Jing with an expression of "guess whether the official is sick or not."

Cai Jing understood instantly, rubbed his brow helplessly, and then turned to leave.

When the official family went to court yesterday, they had dark circles under their eyes, and they announced their withdrawal after staying for less than half an hour, and today they simply couldn't come.

I don't know whether the officials are doing art in the harem or mixing oil with some concubine.

The official Zhao Ji, who perfectly missed the morning court meeting, didn't recover until the third day because of a sleepless night and a hearty drunk.

At this moment, with a white towel wrapped around his head, he was sitting lazily in the pavilion, looking at the flowers and trees outside the pavilion, with an extremely solemn expression on his face.

And in the pavilion, there is a painting hanging, which is his masterpiece "Picture of Wintersweet and Mountain Birds".

It's just that there is only one poem on it now, and the official Zhao Ji has specially vacated the other half.

After Xiao Gao enters the palace, he is going to copy his five-character quatrains and get his monogram seal on it.

As a very perfect masterpiece, and there are good stories about the relationship between the master and the apprentice, the sense of ceremony must be full.

Even though he drank a little too much yesterday, today he carefully recalled the scene he created with Xiao Gao yesterday.

It still shocked him deeply, except for God's will, Zhao Ji really couldn't find a better explanation.

After that, in those dreamlike scenes, his daughter Zhao Fujin appeared, and he wanted to lead the red line for Xiao Gao and his beloved daughter.

It made Zhao Ji a little unclear whether he said it in a dream or communicated with his lover in reality.

But when I think about it, if Xiao Gao, my beloved disciple who is close to him, can become his son-in-law, it would be really good.

My beloved daughter Zhao Fujin is also very interested in Danqing. If I am the blood of a master of poetry, calligraphy and painting in the Song Dynasty, if I have a relationship with my disciple Xiaogao, wouldn't it be a strong alliance?

At this moment, he heard footsteps coming from outside the pavilion, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Tong Guan was walking quickly.

Only then did Zhao Ji calm down and motioned for the other party to enter the pavilion to explain.

The tall and burly eunuch with a thin beard saluted Zhao Ji, and then he took out a scroll from his sleeve and offered it respectfully with both hands.

"My servant greeted the official's family. Hearing that the official's body was ill, my servant specially found a prescription for calming the nerves and invigorating Qi, and dedicated it to the official's family..."

The official Zhao Ji showed a smile and signaled Yang Jian to accept the prescription.

"Okay, okay, you are also interested. These days, how is the establishment of the Staff Council going?"

#####
Wu Zhizhong was walking towards the depths of the palace with Wang Siqing from Nahonglu Temple at the moment, and now the birthday of the emperor of Liao Kingdom was getting closer and closer.

And last year, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom sent envoys to congratulate the official's birthday, so now it is time to finalize the envoy to the Liao Kingdom as soon as possible.

When Wu Zhizhong and Wang Siqing came to the imperial garden together, they could already hear the sound of talking and laughing from the pavilion in the distance.

Looking up, he saw that the powerful eunuch Tong Guan was having a good conversation with the official family at the moment.

Unexpectedly, Tong Guan would be here, which made Wu Zhizhong's face darken. He was not happy to deal with the powerful eunuch Tong Guan and the treacherous prime minister Cai Jing.

It's just that at this moment the officials also noticed the two of them, raised their hand and pointed, and a little eunuch was galloping towards them.

Wu Zhizhong could only rush towards the pavilion with Wang Siqing.

After Wu Zhizhong made a salute to the official's family, he straightaway began to say that the birthday of the emperor of Liao Kingdom was not far away.

According to the etiquette between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, the Great Song Dynasty should also send envoys to celebrate the birthday of the emperor of the Liao Kingdom.

"...I would like to ask the officials to clarify who I will be the envoy for He Liao's birthday in the Song Dynasty."

Originally Tong Guan was watching coldly from the sidelines. After all, the affairs between the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple had nothing to do with him, a powerful eunuch who held military power.

But now, hearing that Liao was actually going to be sent to battle, Tong Guan's eyes lit up when he made new achievements after two or three years without sending his troops to battle.

The official was stroking his short beard, rubbing his still a little stupefied mind, thinking about the candidate in his heart.

He saw that Tong Guan who was standing at the side actually came to the front and prostrated himself on the ground.

"The servant girl begs the officials to allow the servant girl to take charge of the affairs of the Liao Kingdom."

"Why?" Zhao Ji, the official, asked subconsciously.

"Officials, I used troops in the Hehuang land in the Song Dynasty to make great achievements frequently, while Xixia was weak, so I asked the Liao Kingdom for help..."

As a result, the Liao Kingdom had boasted at the beginning that it wanted to be the master of Naxixia, help them settle the Great Song Dynasty, and get back the occupied land and population.

But in the end, the Liao Kingdom broke its promise and became fat. Instead of using such means to antagonize the Song Dynasty, it signed a series of trade treaties with the Song Dynasty.

"So, the slaves think that maybe there is something going on inside the Liao Kingdom that prevents them from exerting all their pressure on Song Dynasty."

"However, the Liao Kingdom invaded and occupied the sixteen prefectures of Youyan for many years, and I, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was determined to restore it. Therefore, the slaves begged the officials to allow the slaves to go deep into the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom to explore the reality of the Liao Kingdom..."

Wu Zhizhong's expression darkened when he heard that, the Great Song Dynasty is now at the top of the court, the affairs of the three divisions have not yet been clarified, and the preparations for the Staff Council have not yet done their best.

The problem of Xixia has not yet been resolved, but this guy wants to explore the reality of the Liao Kingdom. What's the matter? I think that the Song Dynasty, which has many drawbacks and reforms have not been completed, died fast enough, right?
But when he glanced out of the corner of his eye, the official was actually moved, which made Wu Zhizhong's eyes dark.

Fortunately, he is also a resourceful and seasoned person after all, so he stood up immediately.

"Officials, I think that when I went to Liao Dynasty in the Song Dynasty, I was envoys from officials from other dynasties."

"There has never been a precedent for using internal officials as envoys. Once this precedent is set, the consequences are unpredictable, and the officials should be cautious."

That Wang Siqing also secretly despised Tong Guan, who jumped out just now to try to win the envoy's merits, and bowed to the official.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and please be careful with the officials."
