Compete for the Song Dynasty

A military order was issued from the Zichen Palace at Wangpang, and the drafted trade rules were reported to Renzong, including the establishment of a discussion field; a tea field specially in charge of Wangpang; and different tax rates for different types of goods from merchants in Xia Kingdom; Traders need to exchange horses for entry qualifications.

Renzong nodded while watching, but he was sweating for Wang Pang in his heart. You must know that Xixia people are not so easy to deal with.After watching the memorial, Zhe Renzong looked around the hall, and everyone was speechless.Looking at the king again, his expression is calm and composed, and his demeanor is graceful.The two attendants behind him are also majestic, and they really like this young man.He couldn't help but look at Zhao Shu, with a sad and weak look.Comparing the two, Renzong really hates that Wang Pang is not a royal descendant, otherwise what a good successor he is.

After Renzong retired from the court, he summoned the Xixia envoys to discuss matters in the Chuigong Hall, and the king waited in the Chuigong Hall for the Emperor Renzong who had a rest, and the two attendants went to the place where the slaughter and dismounted to wait for the king.

Zhe Kejun and Zhang Ping found a place to sit under the shade of a tree, and watched the officials and people working in the surrounding government go in and out, Zhang Ping asked again: "Brother Zhe, what do you mean by Wang Shilang?" Can this be done?"

Zhe Kejun didn't speak all the way, and then he calmly said: "You and I just obey orders, do what you are asked to do, and hit us when you are asked to fight." [

Zhang Ping poked Zhe Kejun with his elbow: "Brother Zhe, look at this man's attire, is he an envoy from Xixia? Xixia sent such a young envoy here, can this matter be negotiated?"

Zhe Kejun looked at what Zhang Ping said, and the messenger led a young man in Western Xia attire, dismounted at the place where the butcher dismounted, and walked towards the main hall.This man was only 27 or [-] years old, Zhe Kejun looked at him and said: "If you say that, our servant is younger?"

The person they are talking about is Li Xili, the envoy of the Western Xia Dynasty. Li Xili has been in the Song Dynasty for half a month this time. During this time, he is looking forward to the Song Xia trade. On the Dragon Boat Festival, the streets and alleys are full of lively atmosphere.Li Xili was extremely envious.

He knew Wang Pang was back yesterday, so he didn't see him to avoid suspicion, and today he specially waited in the mansion's shop, and he saw the official summoning him.As soon as Li Xili entered the palace, he saw dozens of Tianshi Aihu Mountains arranged in the palace; the halls were surrounded by vases, and sunflowers, pomegranates, and gardenias were inserted in the vases; these decorations formed a farewell scene in the imperial city. Such a scene dazzled him, a "foreigner".

He came here full of joy, but Li Xili hesitated after seeing the terms of negotiation drafted by Wang Pang.He made things simple, not only him, but even the teenage Li Liangzuo made things simple.If Wang Pang went to Xixia for the first time, Xixia would be able to come up with detailed rules with sincerity, which would be the best for Xixia.But now the best time has passed, Xixia gave Wang Pang plenty of time to figure out his own details.

Li Xili looked at the detailed rules and frowned: "It's not that Xia Guo is not sincere, but that I really can't make the decision." He looked at Wang Pang after he finished speaking, and Wang Pang looked at Wang Pang with a friendly smile. Own.

Renzong knew that he could not be the master, and said lightly and majesticly: "Even so, take this back to discuss with your master Li Liangzuo." He glanced at the king, who was given a seat by the king, and sat there He took a sip of tea and didn't speak, this kid really held his breath.

Li Xili thought in his heart that if he went back like this, it would definitely cause criticism. He thought Renzong said: "Even if the Song Dynasty proposed this proposal, your country should send envoys to facilitate this matter to express the Song Dynasty's intention. Appease the sincerity of the subject."

Hearing the concession made by Li Xili's self-proclaimed subject, Emperor Renzong and Wang Pang looked at each other. Seeing Wang Pang smiling, Renzong knew that he had achieved his goal, so he said: "Wang Shilang, I will send you to Xixia again. Would you like to?"

Li Xili didn't know that Prince Zichen had issued a military order with Prince Zhao Shu, so of course he wanted Wang to go.Li Xili looked at Wang Pang expectantly in his eyes, Wang Pang frowned slightly, Renzong looked at the center of his eyes and said that this kid is pretty good at pretending.

The king is not pretending, he wants to negotiate conditions: "Master Li, it is no problem for me to go to Xixia again, but you also know that there are often differences in the Xixia Dynasty, and the sword is not controlled in your Xixia. If I go, I will bring my followers. Even if you enter the palace, you must enter with a sword."

Renzong wondered what the condition was for Wang Pang. Li Xili only regarded Wang Pang as worried about his own safety. Only Wang Pang knew that the Xixia people were still barbaric, not to mention offending Guoping people before.If Yi Weisi failed to frame him once, it was hard to guarantee that he would not be able to do it the second time and the third time.What's more, Xixia people and even the emperor are always careful to prevent coups, let alone themselves.

Li Xili patted his chest as a guarantee: "This matter is not a problem, I will definitely guarantee Wang Shilang's safety."

Wang Pang felt funny, you can't even guarantee your own safety.The two set off after three days. Seeing that the important event was over, Renzong rewarded Li Xili with a portion of fine kudzu, incense, gauze, silk, and clever rice dumplings for the Dragon Boat Festival. Li Xili was overjoyed and even more grateful.

Wang Pang had many things to do in the past three days, visiting Mr. Bao and his parents, visiting businesses in various places in the capital.Only Yuexia was in Chenzhou. The two of them were not allowed to meet each other this time, but they thought that there were too many things to do, and they would have to travel far away after one or two days. Rest assured and wait.

Right now, the spring is bright and bright, and there is fresh green life everywhere. The city of Bianjing is full of people coming and going, and in a private room on the Jinxiu Building, the laughter of young people can be heard from time to time, which makes passers-by on the street look up.The door of a private room leading to the corridor on the upper floor of Jinxiu Road is open, and it can be seen that there are seven or eight young people sitting inside, many of whom are talented and handsome.

These people were drinking and talking and laughing, the aura and pride of the young people were envied by passers-by, many people recognized the presence of princes and grandchildren, the children of officials, and young business talents, the most eye-catching one was the young man in vermilion casual clothes, He wears a fringe on his head and a gown with a round neck and wide sleeves, which reminds people of Zhan Zhao, the jade cat who carried a sword in front of the imperial court, but Zhan Zhao, who was awarded the third rank in [-], is also so chic and handsome.

This person is not Zhan Zhao, but he is famous in the capital, he is Wang Bang.With his attire, the big girls and young wives on the street couldn't help but take a second look, their eyes sparkled.

Today, Wang Pang invited Zhong Zhen, Yuan Ze and other friends to a banquet.The private room on the Jinxiu Tower was extremely lively, everyone talked and laughed about the fact that Wang Pang was not in the capital, and Wang Pang also talked about what he saw when he went out, and the whole room was full of laughter. [

Yuan Ze held up the wine glass to toast his brother and said: "If this time goes well, I will make another great contribution when I come back. Maybe I will be an envoy to Liao Kingdom and Jiaozhi in the future, and my brothers will visit all over the world."

Wang Pang smiled, I don't know how many times I have traveled to these places in my previous life, what is this: "If I want to send Liao, I might as well take Brother He and let him go home to have a look." He said and patted He Libo .

Since He Libo worked with Wang Pang, he has made a lot of money and lived a stable life. Hearing Wang Pang's words is even more joyful.While talking and joking, the shopkeeper Cui Fumen came in, and said with apologetic expression: "My lord, you still have to come out, and another guest wants to see you." Wang Pang asked his brothers to drink first, and turned to go out by himself.

Zhong Zhen saw that he went out for several days while eating, Ben Nai shook his head and said with a smile: "How can I look at this brother, he is busier than my father."

He Libo chuckled: "It's better to eat here. If it's at the mansion, the young master won't even be able to eat a solid meal for two or three days after he comes back." He saw the two look at each other, and then said: "You guys I don’t know, some came to ask you, some came to ask for a painting?”

Yuan Ze laughed loudly: "I don't know about my younger brother, how can he paint?"

Zhongzhen pointed to the lobby outside, where Cai Jing, Mitty and other children also had a table to eat. Zhongzhen said: "If you want to talk about writing and painting, then Cai Jing and Mitty will definitely become famous in the future. I will probably leave the painting to It's Cai Jing."

Lu Shenyan waved his hand and said for He Libo: "Where is it? The people who come to ask for paintings are all those who sell and trade goods in the capital. I heard that the young master will draw some trend charts. It is very popular. If you have this picture in your hand, you can do it." I know the price rules of items; I am so ridiculous that even the mother-in-law who sells needles and threads on the street wants to ask for a copy of the picture, saying that she will hang it in the store." After finishing speaking, he remembered that Wang Pang was sometimes dragged, and Nai smiled wryly haha Laugh out loud.

The little brothers also thought of Wang Pang's embarrassing face and laughed, and when Wang Pang came back with a smile, Zhong Zhen asked: "It seems that asking for ideas is not a big deal because I'm coming back so soon."

Wang Pang looked at He Libo with a smile, "I just said that the matter of the Liao Kingdom is really related to the Liao Kingdom." Everyone was very interested and urged Wang Pang to speak quickly, Wang Pang said: "It's not a big deal, it's here It was Liu Yongnian, the envoy of the Danzhou Regiment, who was about to take office and learned that the Liao Dynasty sent people to cut wood in the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard it, and they all asked Wang Pang what he said.

Wang Pang took a sip of his wine and said casually: "What's the matter, the wood felled by the Liao Dynasty will be lost by setting the fire."

Yuan Ze said "ah": "Brother, you are too courageous to come up with this idea. If the Liao Kingdom asks to arrest the arsonist, how do you ask Liu Yongnian to deal with it?"

Wang Bang laughed loudly, and drank a glass happily, "Liu Yongnian asked the same question, I only told him eight words."

All those sitting around urged Wang Pang, which eight characters, Wang Pang said with a smile: "The territory of the Song Dynasty is connected with the Liao Pass!"

Everyone raised their thumbs and picked up their wine glasses: "Golden and jade words!"

That's what Wang Pang thinks. The territory of the Song State has nothing to do with the Liao State. If the Liao State violates the border, if he doesn't express his attitude and position, he will always think that the Song State is easy to bully!
