After entering Yanjing, the bureaucrat of the Ministry of Rites of the Liao State "couldn't afford to be sick", so the march of the team had to stop.

Gao Fangping knew that the little official was deliberate, and he was a picker.

Because he no longer dared to preside over this diplomatic matter, he was afraid that he would not be able to carry the basket. If he didn't pretend to be sick, he wouldn't be able to suppress a sect disciple like Dashi, and he wouldn't dare to peel off Gao Fangping's face, then they would all be people with a heavy smell of gunpowder, and sooner or later there would be chaos.

So before the important minister came to deal with it, he pretended to be sick first.

Fortunately, due to Gao Fangping's accident with the group, the people who went to the capital to report to Xiao Xiang had already set off, and Xiao's inner circle would inevitably send someone to preside over it again, which should be soon.

This situation seems familiar to Gao Fangping. Once the etiquette is observed, once the sinicization is carried out, and once the literati rule begins, in fact, these are inevitable things. As far as diplomacy is concerned, especially the petty bureaucrat, he has absolutely no nationalist tendencies, all of them are harmony first, respect diplomatic etiquette, as long as he himself or his department does not take care of things, it is a victory.

Therefore, even if the current diplomacy of Song Liao and Liao are strong countries, there will be many behaviors of "losing power and humiliating the country" for them. This is the reason why Yelu Dashi especially doesn't like the diplomatic mouth, and he feels that Da Liao's face has been lost by this group of people. So I called them the takeaway department.

Sweat. In fact, just like the American diplomatic bureaucrats of later generations, they will definitely give face to the Iraqi regime, but they will peel the face of those hawkish soldiers. Diplomacy, or officialdom, is the virtue. This is the virtue of the world of the stick.

Not to mention anything else, in fact, Da Song himself is also facing such a problem. For example, the current Ministry of Rites is very gentle and respectful to Western Xia, but their tone towards Liu Guangshi, who is stationed in Western Xia, is similar to that of a grandfather and a grandson. With the urine of the Great Song Dynasty, if it weren't for Liu Yanqing being Tao Jiefu and Cai Jing's people, and Liu Guangshi being Gao Fangping's people, they would have been killed by the bureaucrats of the Ministry of Rites.

It seems that the Wenqing or the philosophical school said that "man's greatest enemy is himself", and this makes sense.

In a well-coordinated human body, "various departments" are subject to contradictions. For example, some things nourish the mouth but hurt the stomach, and some things nourish the heart but hurt the liver. The brain thinks that "doing exercise" is good for health, but the parts of the body protest because they are too lazy to move. That's because of inert thinking.

Drinking, smoking, and nightlife make people's brains very pleasant, but just like Uncle Zhang scaring Zhao Ji at night, some "human body departments" will say that this is not good for the body of the "Chinese book".

It seems that these philosophies are common, and people say that the enemy is in the first three rows, not only in governing the country, but also in physical health. Many of the pleasures at the level of the brain are the enemies of the whole body, but it is the "will" of the brain that has the final say. Then, the cells of the body are like the people of a country, crying blindly.

When Gao Fangping suddenly opened his mind to this place, he felt that he was a philosopher.

However, I don't plan to write a story about it. Because there is already a strategy in the front: it is the source of self-cultivation, family harmony, and governance. It's just that they have an attack of Wenqing, and what they say is not as easy to understand as Xiaogao, but the core is the same, and all roads lead to Bianjing.

Zhao Ji in history is not completely dim, he knows the advantages and disadvantages of Cai Jing.

Zhao Ji was correcting mistakes several times, just like a smoker forcing himself to quit smoking. However, Cai Jing later made a comeback, which represented Zhao Ji's "failure to quit smoking".

Yes, in fact, in these issues, for the emperor who is not strong-willed, it is really similar to quitting smoking. He knew that not quitting would be harmful to his "health", and then Cai Jing would make him happy, so although he quit temporarily, he found that other people were not good to use. When he found that Zhang Shangying's snack could not replace Cai Jing's cigarette, Zhao Ji released Lao Cai out again.

Zhu Baba was amazing, this hand wanted to touch his chest, and he cut off his hand directly. This is the difference between a hero and a good man who is not strong-willed......

Since the diplomat of Liao State pretended to be sick, he also wanted to play when he came to a foreign country, so waiting for this gap when the Liao court came, Gao Fangping took Sister Liang and Ju Jing to wander around Yanjing.

The whole process was accompanied by the fierce Xiao Gan and the leather room army.

This guy is a hooligan, and he is not so gentle in the Song Kingdom. Basically wherever he went, Xiao Gan imposed martial law on any place, but anyone who dared to be curious would kick it away.

When he entered an ordinary shop, Gao Fangping, who was dressed in civilian clothes, looked approachable, swept the snowflakes from his bearskin cloak and removed his hood.

Xiao Gan didn't know what he was doing in such a small chicken feather shop, so he slapped the table and said, "Hurry up and open good wine and meat, otherwise grandpa will smash your shop." ”

The shopkeeper was a Han woman with an eleven-year-old daughter in the shop, and the two of them were so frightened that they were busy.

Shaoqing wine and meat were brought up, Xiao Gan drank two big bowls by himself, and ate a few pieces of beef refreshingly, after the poison test, he hugged his fists and said: "Gao Xiang, please use it, it's very safe." ”

So Gao Fangping ate and drank, and the appearance of eating made the civilian shopgirl and Xiao Gan want to fall?

It's really Gao Fangping who loves beef, but in order to pretend to be forced, he has never eaten it in the Great Song Dynasty.

Seeing that Gao Fangping was happy to eat, Xiao Gan was of course also happy, took out a piece of gold and threw it at the woman and said, "Yes, I will reward you." ”

How dare the women ask for so much, they hurriedly came and knelt down, saying that they would not accept it. She didn't know who Gao Fangping was, but Xiao Gan was one of the generals of the Leather Room Army stationed in Yanjing.

"Hahaha, I said that grandpa was happy, and I said that I wouldn't come to reward you, take it, and don't eavesdrop on it." Xiao Gan stuffed the gold into the woman again, then slapped her ass and let her go.

After eating a few more mouthfuls, Gao Fangping smiled and said: "It seems that General Xiao is easy to get money, and it is so generous to give a tip, you have more money to bite your hand?" ”

At this time, Xiao Gan clapped his hands with a lewd smile, and immediately his "guard" came over and handed over a gift box, Xiao Gan smiled: "The small one is the descendant of King Xi's mansion, and he also has some family background, please smile at these filial piety." ”

Gao Fangping used chopsticks to pick up the corner of the gift box and took a look, and there were some things like Beizhu and rhinoceros horn ornaments that were still on the table.

So Gao Fangping glanced at Ju Jing and nodded slightly.

"Hey." Ju Jing stepped forward to receive the gift.

Xiao Gan became even happier, and hurriedly accompanied Gao Fangping to drink and offer hospitality.

These gifts are not expensive for Xiao Gao's level, but they are actually worth a few thousand, and they can basically be regarded as jewelry for Mrs. Gao Fangping, of course I dare to accept them.

If it is a huge amount of money, it can't be collected, it means that Xiao Gan is just an agent, but in fact, it is the money given by Niu Wenshu and these patriots, since it is a big money, it is a major issue that needs to be dealt with in the national policy, just like when Gao Yu bribed Xiao, collecting a lot of money is basically a traitor.

At this point, Gao Fangping smiled again and said: "If you have nothing to do, you must have an inside story." Come to think of it, General Xiao doesn't want to be an errand boy in Yanjing, and wants to go back to the capital, right? ”

"Yes, be sure to ask Prime Minister Gao to deal with him and say a few kind words in front of Xiao Xiang, whether it is successful or not, Xiao is grateful." Xiao Gan smiled, "Everyone knows that you and Xiao Xiang are close friends. There is news from the humble position, after hearing that you are personally with the group, Xiao Xiang has already sent Master Ma Renwang to Yanjing to lead the team. Your face is really big enough, Master Ma is the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites today, who will come in exchange, no one will have your treatment. ”

Sister Liang thinks that "your circle is really messy", and Gao Fangping, who is by the mother, is the same as the prime minister of Liao?

However, the helpless thing is that the so-called "diplomatic merits" are also available in Liao. Xiao Gan, he really bribed the right person. Just like the original envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, Lin and Liu Zhengfu, bribed the Liao diplomatic staff, and then the Liao diplomatic department replied to the Great Song Dynasty court that "the Song envoys understand etiquette", and then the envoys will be promoted.

This time, as one of the main people who received Gao Fangping, if Gao Fangping said to Xiao's inside, "Xiao Gan", this guy is sensible, and he will serve me well. So not to mention the big promotion, Xiao's Li Di will really think that Xiao Gan is a witty talent, and it is okay to move back to Beijing.

"Okay, I'll say a few nice words to Shaw's Lide. But I don't guarantee the results. Gao Fangping said.

Xiao Gan said gratefully: "Since no one can guarantee this result, Gao Xiang can speak beautifully, and he is already grateful." ”

"A bunch of bastards, officialdom is afraid to be wasted!" Sister Liang thought so in her mind.

Because the weather was too cold, the alcohol content in Liao was not high, Gao Fangping also drank a small amount of two sips to keep warm, and asked, "When will Ma Shilang arrive?" ”

Xiao Gan shook his head and said: "It's all because of the heavy snow, they are traveling as a team, so there is a little delay, but his nephew Ma Zhi has already arrived in Yanjing quickly." ”

Burst.

Gao Fangping squirted out a mouthful of wine and said, "Ma Zhi! ”

Xiao Gan couldn't help but pout, thinking, why do you know that grandson?

After thinking for a while, Gao Fangping suddenly said: "Tell me, what kind of urine is this Ma Zhi?" ”

Xiao Gan felt that his words were too strange, but he could roughly understand the meaning. The dilemma is that it is necessary to analyze whether Gao Fangping supports Ma Zhi or hates Ma Zhi?

It's a problem.

"Tell me the truth." Gao Fangping also discovered Xiao Gan's problem, so he hurriedly corrected it.

Xiao Gan then hugged his fists and said: "This grandson is not a good thing. Speaking of which, although their Ma family has been a big family of our Liao country for generations, they are actually not welcomed. If you want to rise and make a difference, under the policies of these years, the Ma family is the Xiao family who have taken refuge. ”

Gao Fangping nodded slightly, the territory of Liao is so big, but speaking of which, it is basically the world of Yelu and the Xiao family, Yelu is the royal family, and the Xiao family is the descendant. If you hug your thighs, it's basically these two paths.

But now it is obvious that the Xiao family is more awesome, and Xiao's inside is the uncle of the current Empress of Liao.

However, the strange thing is that if this Ma Zhi's family hugs Xiao's inner thigh, then Xiao's inner bottom policy is to mix the Jurchen cold, why did he Ma Zhi become the mediator of the Lianjin policy in history?
