I studied in modern times

Chapter 226 The Xixia Messenger's Crazy Day (1)

Bingchen (24) in July of the eighth year of Yuanfeng.

Xixia Chen Wei envoy Wei Ming Mo Duo and deputy envoy Lu Ze Chen Yujin appeared under the gate of You Zhaoqing in the imperial city.

They wore Xixia's narrow gowns, small gold caps, several pairs of earrings on their ears, and gold special so-called Xie belts around their waists.

It is an accessory transformed from nomadic times.

Originally made of leather, it was used to fasten weapons such as bows, swords, knives, axes, and various types of flint for wild fires.

Yuan Hao reformed it and designated it as an accessory for Xixia military officers.

The Xixia people worshiped Buddhism and also liked gold. Therefore, the accessories, crowns and hats of high-ranking nobles were all made of gold!
It looks very luxurious.

But really ugly!
Especially the short golden crown, worn on the head, fully presents the top of Kuntou's head in front of people.

With braids on the back of his head, he looks really ugly!
Wei Ming Mo Duo stood at the gate of the palace, watching the sun gradually rise.

The anxiety in his heart became even stronger.

Over the past few days, he could clearly feel in the capital pavilion that Nanman's attitude towards him was gradually becoming colder.

Meanwhile, the relationship between the northern envoys and the southern barbarians has rapidly heated up.

Although he couldn't get in touch with the Northern Envoy, he could infer from various details and what the followers around him heard in Dutingyi.

These days, the more he thought about it, the more anxious he became.

In case, in case the Northern Dynasty really formed an alliance with the Nanban, they would attack Dabai Gaoguo from four directions: south, north, east, and west.

Qingtang Tubo made further troubles, descending from the southwestern plateau.

Isn't it just around the corner that the Dabaigao Kingdom will perish?

"I don't know if the middle school has received my report..." he thought.

But counting the time, he knew that it was impossible!
Even if it is fast and fast, it is impossible for the Queen Mother, Wu Zu and the Prime Minister of Xingqing Mansion to know about it in less than ten days.

While worrying, hearty laughter came from the palace gate.

Then, he saw Xiao Jie, the consolation envoy of the Northern Dynasty, and Han Zhaoyuan, the deputy consolation envoy, came out of the palace accompanied by the Nanman's embassy envoy.

The Wei-named Moduo suddenly fell into an ice cave.

Deputy envoy Lu Ze and Chen Yujin closed their eyes, feeling very uneasy.

The northern envoys walked past them, and their names were Mo Duo and Lu Ze Chen Yujin. They both saw it. When the two northern envoys looked at them, their eyes were full of contempt!
Make them feel hostile!
"Damn!"

"Could it be that the Northern Dynasty and the Southern Man really formed an alliance?"

Wei Ming Mo Duo suddenly panicked.

Because the Northern Dynasty could really form an alliance with the Southern Man!

They have enough mutual trust - for a hundred years, the border has been fine, and after the Chanyuan alliance, envoys have been in constant communication.

For a hundred years, Nanban has never lost its promise.

Always sent money to the Northern Dynasty on time.

And the people of the Northern Dynasties like all kinds of goods from the Southern Man!

They do have the conditions and possibility to form an alliance!
Especially considering that the current Nanman emperor is only ten years old, and the grandson of the Northern Dynasty is also only ten years old.

They are about the same age and are the most likely to reach a covenant.

Nanman wants the Lingzhou, Youzhou, and Xingqing Prefectures of Dabaigao Kingdom.

Why didn't the Northern Dynasty covet the Black Mountain, Black Water and Beiyuan lands of Dabai Gao Kingdom?
Thinking of this, Wei Ming Mo Duo's heart became more and more lonely.

But Wei Mo Duo will never know why Xiao Jie and Han Zhaoyuan despise or even hostile to them.

It's just pure contempt and disdain.

For the Khitan people, Xixia, isn't that the party clown among Lingxia?In the country of Liao, both the northern and southern courts publicly referred to Xixia as "Xilu".

Therefore, Xiao Jie and Han Zhaoyuan are nothing more than simple regional discrimination superimposed on ethnic discrimination and cultural contempt.

Of course, if you look down on it, you look down on it.

The Khitan people can still distinguish clearly in the face of real interests.

They knew that as long as Xixia existed for a day, the Bian bandits of the Southern Dynasty would no longer dare to covet Youyan.

Wouldn't it be flattering to let the Nanman and Xilu consume each other?

But the famous Moduo didn't know this.

In the information cocoon, he can only speculate and guess.

Usually, people's speculations and guesses always deviate from the facts.

……

Zeng Bu sent the consolation envoy from Liao State out of Xuandemen.

He came slowly to the Western Xia Mission, and said to Wei Ming Mo Duo: "Your envoy, please follow me..."

"I greet His Majesty the Emperor, and I am waiting for the envoys to enter the Chongzheng Hall..."

Wei Ming Mo Duo hurriedly said in Chinese: "Please trouble the bachelor!"

Zeng Bu didn't answer, just went forward as usual.

These days, he has been in Dutingyi, but his life is quite tormented.

Especially after Deng Runfu was appointed to preside over the "Yuanyou Dictionary", Zeng Bu was already anxious like ants on a hot pot-has the era of Jiayou elders that was agreed to be over?

What's going on now?

It's enough for Han Zihua to become the Right Prime Minister.

In his eyes, Deng Runfu, who was almost ignored by him and regarded as no threat in the past, is now flourishing!

Zeng Bu knew very well that once Deng Runfu's "Yuanyou Dictionary" was successfully completed, he could go straight to three provinces and two prefectures!
What's more terrible--Deng Runfu also added an attendant lecturer.

In this way, he has gathered the halos of the ministers of the emperor's hidden residence, the ministers close to the emperor, and the ministers of the country.

Maybe, in the future, Zeng Zixuan will have to salute in front of Deng Wenbo!
From now on, Deng Runfu will be shorter than Deng Runfu!
Can Zeng Bu bear this?
Therefore, the current Zeng Bu, apart from being a little patient with the Liao envoy.

In front of the Xixia envoy, he simply put on a dead face.

One question and three no answers!
Zeng Bu's mentality is easy to explain-in modern terms: he is afraid of his brother's suffering, and he is also afraid of his brother's driving Lu Rover!

But Zeng Bu didn't know that his attitude and expression, in the eyes of Weiming Moduo, almost really hammered the Song-Liao alliance!

Otherwise, why would the Liao envoy openly despise him?

Otherwise, why, the attitude of this Southern Dynasty embassy has taken a turn for the worse these days?

Now I just don't even bother acting!
Therefore, Weiming Moduo knew that no matter what, he had to find ways to break up the Song-Liao alliance!
It must be done at any cost!play hard!
……

Chongzheng Hall.

Zhao Xu sat on the throne, looked at the ministers in the palace, and waited quietly.

Now, as long as Zhao Xu goes to court, basically the two palaces will let him play freely.So, he can already intervene in some civil affairs.

Of course, Zhao Xu cherishes his words like gold. He will never open his mouth for anything other than giving favors, giving benefits, or doing good deeds.

The ministers gradually got used to his behavior.

Every time there is a good thing, it will be played one by one in time.

Then they all looked at Zhao Xu eagerly.

Zhao Xu never disappoints—most of the time, he always follows the good advice.

Be extremely cautious only when it comes to large-scale water conservancy projects, especially the Yellow River issue.

He rejected most of the petitions for river regulation, and only a few requests for embankment reinforcement were approved by him.

The reason is simple-can the Yellow River be cured by the current technology and engineering level of the Song Dynasty?Can't cure it!

Everyone in the world made a big mention of how many people did Xiu Hesi replace?
is that useful?
Li Chui's proposal is good, why change other people's proposals?

It's all right now, the Yellow River has been diverted, and Hebei has been flooded. If it continues to change, I'm afraid it will flood the west of Beijing. After the west of Beijing is flooded, the Huaihe River will be taken into the sea.

Therefore, I advise you to clarify the concept of river governance first, and then talk about river governance.

The only thing Zhao Xu can do now is to grow trees!
Not only to plant trees in Bianjing, Huazhou and other places, but also to plant trees in Guanzhong, Yanbian and Lanzhou upstream.

Finally planted in Xingqing Mansion!

In this life, he will be a tree planting maniac!

Thinking about these things, finally, the person from the general secretary came to report: "Qizou Empress Dowager, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty the Emperor..."

"The Western Xia envoy Chen Wei, Wei Ming Mo Duo, and the deputy envoy Lu Ze, Chen Yujin, have arrived outside the palace, begging for command!"

Zhao Xu said softly: "Broadcast!"

As a result, the sound of ritual and music playing began to sound outside the hall.

Then, Zhao Xu heard a deep voice, praying outside the hall: "The Empress Dowager Daxia and the Emperor Daxia heard about the funeral of the Song Dynasty, and mourned deeply. They sent foreign ministers Mo Duo and others to come to the court to beg the Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. Condolences to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and the Emperor!"

Zhao Xu frowned as he listened.

He looked at the ministers in the palace, and asked: "Masters, the Renmiao celebrates the peace talks. I remember that the Lord Xia is my court, thinking that King Xia..."

"Where did the empress dowager and emperor come from?"

The ministers were also excited.

Right Prime Minister Han Jiang even bowed: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Indeed, there is no Great Xia Empress Dowager or Great Xia Emperor, only Xia King Dowager and King Xia!"

The literati and bureaucrats may not be able to lead troops to fight.

But when it comes to caring about fame and justice, he is extremely powerful, and at the same time he cares extremely!

"Since that's the case!" Zhao Xu stood up, "The one who came today must be a foreign savage!"

"I'm gone!"

With that said, he got up and left.

The two palaces also went out of the hall from the curtain.

Obviously, they were also offended by the Xi Xia envoy's words.

After all, even if they don't like war, they still know that names and weapons cannot be fakes!

If Xia people are asked to sit in the hall, they can sit on an equal footing with Song Dynasty.

How do people in this world view Da Song?

This is something that must not be compromised!

So, the Wei name outside the hall, Moduo, was suddenly dumbfounded.

The Nanman officials outside the hall surrounded them and cursed in a bad tone: "Get out!"

Wei's name is Moduo, seeing this scene, he felt like falling into an ice cave.

He was just testing.

Nanban's reaction was so strong!

Especially that little Nanman emperor who got up and left immediately!

He didn't put Dabai Gaoguo in his eyes at all...

what does this mean?
Wei Ming Mo Duo knew that the Southern Man and the Northern Dynasty must have really formed an alliance!
He panicked immediately, and he didn't care about Wu Zu's explanation and the order of the Prime Minister.

With a plop, he knelt down in front of the hall, kowtowed and said, "Foreign minister's momentary aphasia and negligence... capital crime! capital crime!"

"I beg the emperor of Shang Kingdom to punish me severely!"

"It's only the fault of one foreign minister... Please don't sin the emperor of Xia Kingdom with millions of Li Shu because of one foreign minister..."

As he spoke, he kowtowed continuously, like a cuckoo weeping blood.

This made the officials in the hall, as well as Zhao Xu and the two palaces who had already walked out of the Chongzheng Hall, somewhat confused.

However, the two palaces were happy because of this.

The Xixia people are convinced!

Really blessed by the Bodhisattva!
It's good to be soft, it's good to be soft...

Only the corner of Zhao Xu's mouth chuckled, because such a scene also happened in his previous life.

Zhao Xu remembered that the Xixia envoy seemed to be reprimanded by the court.

But he immediately admitted his mistake and started talking nicely instead.

Therefore, the Empress Dowager and Sima Guang immediately forgave and forgot the mistakes of the Xixia envoy.

And what did the other party lose?Nothing at all!

Now, he was so frightened that he kowtowed to apologize.

What does this mean?
Zhao Xu blinked his eyelids, he suddenly remembered something.

"If I remember correctly, the Empress Dowager Daliang of Xixia passed away in October this year..."

"The next thing is Emperor Bingchang, who will die of depression next year..."

"Could it be that the Queen Mother of Daliang is no longer able to do it now?"

If you think about it, it's really possible.

　Well, regarding the matter of river governance, the protagonist is probably lying flat at this stage.

　　Not tossing is the best way to control the river.

　　PS: Song, Liao, and Xixia despise each other, forming a chain of contempt for each other.
