King of Song

Chapter 50
At the door, a tall and thin middle-aged man came striding forward, exuding a confident and powerful aura as he walked, a bit mighty and domineering.

A pair of eyes are as sharp and deep as a falcon, deep and shrewd.The person who came was Yelu Yixin, the King of Zhao who was a favored minister of the Lord of Liao and an official to the Grand Master!

After a long time, he was finally willing to go from behind the scenes to the front of the stage!

Yelu Yixin cupped his hands from a distance, and explained: "The subordinates are ignorant, and have neglected the envoy, and I sincerely apologize!" Then he ordered: "Come on, please add a seat to the side of the lonely seat, please sit down!"

No matter what Yelu Yixin's considerations are, he now puts the Song envoy in a position parallel to his master, on an equal footing with Liao, and one level higher than Tubo and Xixia.This treatment can be said to be just right, not only to compensate the Song envoy, but also to some extent improve the seat, it can be said to give enough face.

He acted resolutely, without the slightest sloppiness, and resolved the previous embarrassment in an instant before other people reacted, which is very beautiful.

Zhang Zongyi was very satisfied with this arrangement, and was even a little complacent, as if he had won a huge victory.

Zeng Gong was worried. The previous incident was only the fault of his subordinates?Yelu Yixin didn't know about it?Zeng Gong would never believe it anyway!I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of His Royal Highness Zhao Wang. All in all, it should be uneasy and kind, and it will undoubtedly be more difficult in the future!
There are not many Khitan people that Lin Zhao is familiar with, but Yelu Yixin happened to be one of them. Speaking of which, he originated from Xiao Guanyin, the empress of the Liao Kingdom who is beautiful and unparalleled in talent.

The girlfriend of the Chinese Department in the previous life seemed to love and sympathize with this Empress Xiao, especially the injustice case of Shixiangci she encountered later, which made people feel even more embarrassing.

Lin Zhao also had contact intentionally or unintentionally, and was fully aware of Yelu Yixin's role in the case of Shixiang Ci's injustice.He deceived the Lord of Liao, framed Empress Xiao Guanyin and Prince Yelujun, and even wanted to kill the emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi. Is such a courtier a good thing?Lin Zhao noticed that Yelu Yixin had been wearing a kind smile on the corner of his mouth since he entered the door. He was obviously the kind of person who hides a knife in his smile and kills without blood!

Most of today's events were planned by Yelu Yixin himself, who deliberately wanted to snub Song envoy.Of course, the identity of King Zhao of the Liao Kingdom meant that he himself could not participate, so his subordinates sang bad faces, while he himself sang red faces!It's really a good plan, I don't know what will happen later, it's really hard to guard against!
The debate about the seating position came to an end temporarily, and after the guests and hosts were seated, Yeluyi Xinlang said: "Thank you all the envoys for coming to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty the Daliao Emperor. On behalf of His Majesty, I will prepare a little wine to welcome the envoys!"

"King Zhao, you are being polite. It is an honor for me to come to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday!" Ye Lihu seemed determined, showing a little shamelessness.

The Tubo envoys have always been relatively silent. Their national strength is relatively weak, and they are seeking to survive in the cracks of Song, Liao, and Xixia. No matter which side dares to offend easily!

"Everyone, please come!" Yelu Yixin called everyone to sit down and drink wine!

A large piece of beef and mutton was delivered to them. Both Zhang Zongyi and Zeng Gong were gentle scholars, and it seemed that they were not used to it.Lin Zhao didn't care at all, and finally had the opportunity to eat roasted whole lamb and finger meat, how could he miss it!Then pick up the knife and eat with relish!I'm still thinking about whether to launch roasted whole lamb in Jiangnanju... Alas, winter is coming soon, and the boiled lamb seems to be very good...

"I heard that Uncle Wang invited envoys from various countries to a banquet today, how can I tell Gu?" The banquet was just about to start when suddenly the door curtain moved, and a half-grown boy appeared at the door, he seemed to be twelve or thirteen years old.However, the Khitan people are relatively taller, probably only about eleven or twelve years old, and their voices are still a little immature!

"Uncle Wang, I'll join in the fun too!" A seven or eight-year-old girl flashed behind the boy. She was dressed in luxury, small and cute, yet noble, like a proud daughter of heaven.

Seeing the two children suddenly, Yelu Yixin was very surprised, and quickly got up and said: "I have met His Royal Highness, the Princess of Yue Kingdom!"

Everyone was shocked, it was Yelu Hongji's only son, the crown prince Yelu Jun, and the third daughter of the emperor Yelu Tri, the princess of Yue, who came here!

Yelujun was not very old, perhaps because he was a proud son of heaven since he was a child and was used to seeing big scenes, he behaved very calmly, and even seemed a little mature.He said with a smile: "Uncle Wang, you don't need to be too polite. Envoys from all countries are here to celebrate Father's birthday, so I'm here to express my welcome!"

Obviously, Yelu Jun's sudden arrival was somewhat beyond Yelu Yixin's expectation.But when the crown prince arrived, there was no lack of respect and humility, and he immediately gave up the throne to Yelu Jun and Yelu Tri.

The seats of Yelu Yixin and Song Envoy would naturally be slightly lowered, after all, the identity of the crown prince of the Liao Kingdom was there, and Song Envoy naturally had nothing to say.

Lin Zhao looked at the affectionate expressions of Yelu Jun and Yelu Yixin, thinking in his heart, if this child knew what dear Uncle Wang would do to his mother and child a few years later, how would he react?
Yelujun was not a fuel-efficient lamp either. After he sat down, he said with a smile, "How can today's banquet not help the performance?"

"The time is short, and the arrangement is not in time!" Yelu Yixin replied with a smile!

Yelujun laughed and said, "If there is no performance, it will be boring..."

"If you don't let the warriors wrestle for fun, you can let warriors from all over the world participate!" Yeluji suggested in a low voice without losing the opportunity.

Naturally, Xixia people and Tubo people can't wait for this, this is their strong point!
And it happened to be the weakness of the Song Dynasty.Many people were gloating and wanted to take this opportunity to embarrass Ambassador Song.Yelv Yixin rolled his eyes, he had already calculated the pros and cons, and was about to nod in agreement.

But Yelu Tri, the third princess of the Liao Kingdom, was displeased and said: "What's so interesting about wrestling? Why don't you write poems and lyrics?" The vice-talented girl does it.

Little princess, I love you to death!Lin Zhao was quite happy in his heart.Zhang Zongyi and Zeng Gong also breathed a sigh of relief. If it was true that warriors from all over the world participated in the wrestling competition, the Song Dynasty would be ashamed in public...

The expressions of the envoys of the other countries were obviously stagnant. It was the proposal of the little princess of the Liao Kingdom. How could they refute it? Their eyes fell on Yelu Yixin.But before King Zhao could speak, Prince Yelujun laughed and said, "Terry likes to recite poems. It is rare for a few learned talents from the Southern Dynasties to be here today. Please give me some pointers. As for the wrestling competition, we will do it later." ..."

Poetry may only be good at Song envoys, isn't it obviously uncomfortable to write poems at a banquet?The little girl is ignorant, but Yelujun easily resolved it with a single sentence!Yelu Yixin's eyes flashed brightly. It seemed that Yelu Jun had been underestimated before. Although he was only eleven or twelve years old, he was really not simple.

The prince and princess of the Liao Kingdom have both spoken, and the request for writing a poem is not too much. Zhang Zongyi is actually born, and Zeng Gong is one of the eight great writers of the Tang and Song Dynasties.But after all, he is already 50 or [-] years old, and writing a poem as a gift to a little girl seems a bit...

So such important tasks naturally fell on Lin Zhao, and it was the first time that Master Lin appeared in front of the envoys of various countries.Young - this is the first impression everyone has, if you are an envoy at such an age, you are afraid that you will come from an extraordinary background!Yelu Yixin looked up and down, he had already got some news, that this case in Bianjing was solved by him...

The little princess of the Liao Kingdom looked at the young Song envoy curiously, as if looking at the big brother next door, full of anticipation.Lin Zhao secretly said in his heart, what kind of poems should he make at this time to suit the situation?When he was in trouble, the sound of rumbling horseshoes sounded, and the earth seemed to tremble for it...

All the envoys looked at each other, thinking that something happened, but the prince and the little princess jumped up happily and shouted: "Father is back..."

That's right, Yelu Hongji, Lord of the Liao Dynasty who had been hunting in the forest for many days, is back!The cavalry of the personal guard leather chamber army were all silent, making such a noise in the night...

The little princess seemed to have not seen her father for a long time, so she ran out happily, but before leaving, she did not forget to shout to Lin Zhao: "Remember, you owe me a poem..."

Uh... Lin Zhao scratched his head lightly. The Princess Lolita was really real, and he didn't take it seriously, so he went out with the crowd to "welcome" Lord Liao back to the camp.

It never occurred to Lin Zhao that this poem owed half his life.Especially when I went out and saw a tall and handsome figure and that handsome and charming face, it was even more implicated in a sinful relationship that was constantly cut and messed up...
