The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty

Make Liao Mission?

Yun Yan thought about it for a while and remembered that it was already November. It was indeed time to send envoys to He Zhengdan in Liao. But why did you get involved with him?

Yun Yan went back and washed his face, and the whole person was sober, "Whose idea is this, Hongyousiqing? They can't decide this, right?"

Many of the functions of Hongshe Temple were actually divided up by other departments, especially for major matters such as diplomatic relations with the Liao State. The selection of the ministers was generally negotiated by the Privy Council and the Zhongshu Province.

"I said it was a recommendation, and the Privy Council is still undecided now," Zheng Ling said in a low voice, "I have inquired about it. The Liao people have sent letters many times, hoping to invite the Kong family to perform in Liao. Kong Jikai After the class was taught, they became more attentive. This time, I was afraid that they would take the Confucian class to perform together. The official said that there should be people who are familiar with opera among the envoys."

The form of opera was invented by Kong Ji. How many people in the world would dare to say that they are "savvy"?

The Liao people love opera, and they like to make things difficult for Song Chen. If the envoys sent there are not able to talk to them, I am afraid it is not good.

About this, those talented people thought of Yun Yanhui. Everyone knows that the Kong family class was funded by Yun Yanhui in the beginning, and Kong Ji very much followed Yun Yanhui's suggestions.

Besides, just look at Yun Yanhui's previous glorious record. Although he hasn't read much (...) and has no fame, he hasn't been disadvantaged when confronted with the Liao people.

In this way, there is nothing wrong with it.

Yun Yan rubbed his forehead, "Since the reign of Emperor Taizu, he sent Zhengdan's envoy to He Liao, no matter the chief or deputy envoy, the identity of the envoy is nothing more than a ministerial official, a celebrity, or a foreign relative. What does it mean to send a Kaifeng official? "

The ministries are all with real power, and the nepotism of relatives is strong. As for celebrities, the requirements are even higher. The ones who have been sent in the past are all famous Confucian scholars and famous literati.

The envoys represent the decentness of the country, and they cannot lose face to Song Dynasty. What's more, they have to shoulder the tasks of negotiating matters between the two countries and spying on intelligence. Therefore, both their own conditions and quality must be excellent.

With that said, Zheng Ling also scratched his head, "They speak with confidence, and I didn't think too much...Will that ask the official family to appoint you an official?"

"What kind of official seal? I told the officials that I don't want to be an official." Yun Yan replied consciously that the crisis was relieved. It's a ghost."

Zheng Ling always felt that it was wrong, but Yun Yanhui ignored it at all and dragged him back to continue drinking.

"I think it's better to pay attention..." Zheng Ling said, "You and Zhao Caiyun were already half of the envoys. You have experience."

He was talking about Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu's going to the Song-Liao border to deal with the case, and that was indeed a qualification.

"You are young, why are you so long-winded. There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and the boat will go straight to the bridge. If I really make an exception, then I have the right to buy for the big guy." Yun Yanhui has never been there. Liao country, but when I went to the border, I also dealt with many Liao people, and never took traveling far away seriously, so I didn't feel so sad, so it didn't matter.

The last time Yun Yan went back to Quechang, it was not just a shopping trip, but also a trip at public expense.

Yun Yan got Zheng Ling drunk back, and Zheng Ling couldn't say anything.

...

When he woke up the next day, Yun Yan didn't take it seriously, and just left it behind, because he felt it was impossible.

However, after a few days, Renzong really told him to enter the palace. Yun Yan returned to the imperial court to see that officials from the Privy Council, Zhongshu, Hongyu Temple and other places stared at him, and suddenly felt chills.

It's not good, won't you really call him on a business trip?

After Yun Yan returned the salute, he watched his nose and his heart, and stood silent.

Renzong looked at him honestly and asked, "Do you know what is calling you?"

Yun Yan replied: "No, I don't know..."

The official of the Privy Council Chamber and Yan Yue said: "The last time I went to the bargain to discuss tea matters, the errands were done very well. This time Zhengdan is approaching, we are going to send envoys to Liao, all of us, but we all recommend you. Be a deputy."

Yun Yan looked back for a while, everyone looked back at him kindly, and couldn't help thinking, what hatred or resentment I have with you...

"Look at your stupidity, who would you pretend to show it to?" Renzong felt that Yun Yan was not as lively as before, so Xiao Xiao criticized him, "This time I will send the Confucian class disciples to ask you to go, I know You know these folk arts."

What Yun Yanhui knew about opera before was the fur, but after interacting with Kong Ji, he gradually understood a lot, so he does have an advantage in this respect.

"No," Yun Yanhui didn't fear a business trip, but after going for so long, he still didn't want to go if it was not necessary. "Officials, the ministers of the Liao have always been knowledgeable, and they want to talk to the Liao people about literary poetry. Although I am familiar with opera, I am limited to opera. What if I lose someone?"

If the envoy is ashamed, it is not a person who is ashamed of himself. Evian Yan looked back, and it was enough for someone from the Confucian class to go, and the envoys would have no problem as long as they understood a little bit.

Yun Yan added another sentence in reply, weakly saying: "Ding the government official as the deputy, okay..."

"That's because you didn't know the Liao people's fanatical yearning for opera," Renzong shook his head. "Besides, who said you are a government official?"

Yun Yan didn't understand, "What's that?" Could it be true that, as Zheng Ling said, in order to make it easier for him to go on an envoy, he was appointed an official?

Renzong said with a smile: "You are the editor-in-chief of "Kaifeng Mansion News"!"

Yun Yan replied: "..."

Damn, so, does his identity belong to the category of "celebrity"?

Renzong seemed to see through what Yun Yan was thinking, and said, "Or, do you want to go as a relative of the emperor?"

Yun Yan was so frightened that his legs were soft. He looked at the surrounding courtiers with a puzzled face and didn't realize the deep meaning. Then he breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect Renzong to molest his relationship with Zhao Yunchu in front of so many people.

Yun Yan looked back, so many people stared at him, and they were all scholars. If he said he didn't agree, he wouldn't be drowned by the spit star. "Officials, can you take a step to speak?"

All the officials watched Yun Yan return weirdly, and they kept guessing in their hearts.

This servant is so favored that he dared to ask the official to take a step to speak. The official's attitude towards him was very unusual. Only then did he accidentally utter the words "emperor relatives and relatives". Could it be that he was most expensive with which royal family? What's the situation with women?

If it weren't for Zhao Youwu's young age, they would have guessed that Yun Yan was going to be the emperor. However, although the emperor is not suitable, is it possible for other princes, princesses, and other noble women?

Renzong said in a funny way, "The Qing family, let's go back first."

The talented guy was discussing the candidates for the envoys and proposed a Yun Yan Hui. Renzong simply summoned the people to ask. Now that Yun Yan Hui hesitated, it is estimated that he has some conditions to talk about.

After the officials retired, Renzongfang said, "Let's talk about it, what do you want?"

As long as it is not too much, Renzong can satisfy Yun Yanhui.

Yun Yan smiled embarrassedly, "Officials, how many people will be chosen this time? Can you... also call our family..." He didn't dare to recommend Zhao Yunchu in front of the ministers, otherwise he would be afraid of everyone. When I contacted the emperor's relatives and relatives, I saw the strangeness.

Renzong was so tired of calling "the one in our family" that he got goose bumps, "Are you still interested? I only know that my sons and daughters are in love. The mission to Liao is a major event for the country. I still want to Take someone with you?"

He thought Yun Yanhui could ask for anything, but he didn't expect to bring Zhao Yunchu with him.

The more I think about Renzong, the more I feel that something is wrong, "I asked you to be an envoy, what opportunity do you have for this?" Going out with Zhao Yunchu for a stroll, are you bored?

Yun Yan replied: "..."

What else can be used as a public honeymoon...

Yun Yan replied implicitly: "Officials, I grew up with Ah Chu since childhood, and we didn't have many separate days. Besides, it's time for love and cannot be separated. Please forgive me."

This really requires forgiveness, Zhao Yunchu is not knowledgeable and young, and speaking of being an envoy, he is still not qualified.

However, Zhao Yunchu was a relative of the emperor, and he was born with supernatural power, backed by his father's reputation, which is also his advantage. It depends on what Renzong said.

"I have to think about this," Renzong said embarrassedly, "Zhufeng, asking you to remove the reason for the opera, there is one more thing that needs your attention."

"In addition to performances, the Liao State also hopes that the Confucian family can spread art in their country. You said, the two countries have diplomatic relations, how do we strive for the benefits that we deserve for the Confucian family?" Renzong said very "implicitly".

Yun Yan replied: "..."

It's no wonder that if you have to ask him to go over, it seems that the main reason is to ask him to cheat people. What about fighting for the benefits he deserves, should be how to use the needs of the Liao State, and get more benefits. Yun Yan thought about it in his heart, and said, "I'll go back and think about it. We definitely can't let the people suffer."

Renzong knew that Yun Yan had understood what he meant, and smiled, "It's good if you know."

Yun Yanhui and Renzong reached a preliminary consensus and announced the news with everyone when they returned.

Zhao Yunchu: "I go to Liao country for at least three months, what do I do! What do I do!!"

He was sitting on the bed, but now he fell down sadly, beating the bed bitterly.

Yun Yan heard back that the bed board was pounded by him, and thought that he should let Renzong take a look. Who is more affectionate for his children? Is he the more sensible one in their pair?

Yun Yan turned back and stopped Zhao Yunchu, "Don't beat it up. Although I am going to make a decision, you still have a chance to go with you. The officials are considering this matter, I think there is still a chance."

Generally speaking, there are two to three envoys. This time the ambassador must be an old driver who can afford to live, so there are two or three deputy ambassadors, Yun Yan will occupy one, and Zhao Yunchu also has hope.

Zhao Yunchu lifted his spirits and thought for a while, "No, I will invite Dad into the palace!"

Zhao Yunchu wanted to go on an envoy. In his parents' eyes, this was a request for improvement. How could he not agree, he went into the palace to beg the officials for face.

Renzong is going to be drunk, and he said that you can help him now, and you will not regret if you know the truth in the future. It's just that Zhao Yuanyan had come to beg in person. Why did Renzong want to save the emperor's uncle, so he reluctantly agreed and asked Zhao Yunchu to go out together.

As soon as the news was released, Yun Yan went back here and it became lively.

Last time I went to a bargaining shop, I pulled a cart of goods back, and this time I went to Liao, but I still can’t continue to carry forward my spirits, so I would like to be a Liao Dynasty?

Once she was born and then cooked again, Zheng Ping calmed down. He took the list and called the clerk in the store to help Yunyan register the things that relatives and friends needed to purchase.

"Don't worry, although this time it's not a bargain, but our friends in Liaoning, Brother Yan, how can we buy it at a high price!"

"Hey, we only purchase purchases, and we don't help sell goods, especially contraband. This one is found to be guilty!"

"Bai Huwei, what do you want? What? You are just here for instant noodles..."
