In the palace at night, the lights gradually went out, many days of travel and travel, not an afternoon nap can be delayed, Fukang's body bones have not yet grown, even if he is very excited, after nine o'clock, he is also very tired, and he fell asleep deeply, seeing that Concubine Miao was also a little drowsy, Zhao Xin immediately took his leave.

According to the plan, Concubine Miao will stay in Shenyang for more than a month, and in the meantime, there is still a month before the enthronement ceremony.

Zhao Xin returned to the palace, he was in good spirits, he would not go to bed so early, he originally wanted to deal with some official documents, but he didn't expect that a message was sent.

This news came from the Northern Song Dynasty envoys, when Zhao Xin accompanied Concubine Miao and Princess Fukang, Han Qi contacted Sun Yuexi and asked to start negotiations.

Sun Yuexi was slightly surprised, it was not a good choice to start negotiations at this time, but Han Qi forcibly opened it, and Sun Yuexi didn't have much of a way, left and right, he had already made relatively perfect preparations, to a certain extent, when the negotiation was about the same.

In their opinion, these envoys of the Northern Song Dynasty are all tired from the boats and cars, if they don't rest for a few days, how can they be in good shape, and he is also well-intentioned.

Han Qi insisted on this, and he didn't need to cover it, in terms of the procedure, Sun Yuexi had already agreed to open it with the Northern Song Dynasty, but from the procedure, he still informed Zhao Xin.

Han Qi's attitude, this point, has been analyzed before, whether it is the Dinghai to take the Liao, or the exercise prepared in the territory of the Liao, it has given the Northern Song Dynasty great pressure, after that, the Northern Song Dynasty investigated everything about the Dinghai Navy, and even Fu Bi came to Shenyang, the shock was even more, to put it bluntly, went to the Liao State This wolf, but there is such a tiger as the Dinghai Navy, the sooner the agreement is reached, the greater the psychological comfort for the Northern Song Dynasty.

Even, in Han Qi's heart, there is still some luck, this luck comes from Zhao Xin's attitude towards Han Qi, and also from the attitude of the Navy towards Fu Bi, how is this possible, whether it is a previous visit or treating each other as equals, it is just diplomatic etiquette, and now they want to force it like this, there is no way, let's have a real diplomatic battle.

Diplomatic warfare, which is rarely set foot in the field of feudal society, although it is said that since the Qin Dynasty, there has been the existence of the Zongheng family, but after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the Confucianism of the hundred schools, the Zongheng art is gradually outdated, relying on the real strength, not the mouth of the Zongheng family.

Han Qi came with an envoy group, and before coming to Shenyang, they also made a lot of preparations, for example, they prepared some plans and prepared some conditions, so that in the eyes of the Northern Song Dynasty, they had paid enough attention to it.

Compared with the Dinghai Navy, this is far from enough, this is not to underestimate the Northern Song Dynasty, nor is it that the Northern Song Dynasty does not work hard, but the Northern Song Dynasty simply does not realize how important diplomacy occupies in the relationship between countries.

From the establishment of the Dinghai Navy to the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty business, the Dinghai Navy has never stopped, for the Northern Song Dynasty of various intelligence collection work, complicated, including all parts, and then from the middle analysis and induction, formed a system, even if only a few years, but also accumulated a very large amount of intelligence.

When Zhao Xin decided to attack Liao, he had already analyzed the attitude of the Northern Song Dynasty, and made a certain interpretation in a targeted manner, and in the middle, selected different solutions, which were far more complex than those made by the Northern Song Dynasty.

Similarly, Zhao Xin's analysis and summary, as well as some basic principles of diplomacy, set the overall direction, with direction and without direction, and the final result is completely two concepts, and more manpower and material resources are used, and they also occupy the advantage of strength.

That night, Han Qi was notified to go to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Shenyang the next day, where Fu Bi had been there once, it was for negotiations, but there was no result, but he knew the way, not far from them, about 4 miles away, was a large building and a large office area.

Early the next morning, before the agreed time, Han Qi and Fu Bi set off, in their opinion, it was a preliminary contact, they just carried a dozen retinues, took two carriages, and set off.

When they arrived at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it was really as described by Fu Bi, it was a very large office area, and at the door, there were special personnel waiting for them, and they were directly taken to the first conference room.

Here, Fu Bi has never come in, but as soon as they entered, they felt different, because it was too big.

This is a large conference room that can accommodate 1,000 people, and it has been renovated for today's negotiations, and in the middle, there is a huge oval table, and looking at the chairs, it can probably seat more than 30 people, and in the back circle, there are chairs in different turns, which can accommodate at least a few hundred people.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dinghai Navy, headed by Sun Yuexi, has at least more than 200 people, all of whom are dressed in black suits, with solemn expressions, combined with the surrounding environment, which must be depressing.

There are too many people, especially all of them are dressed neatly, the oppressive force is huge, and even the well-informed Han Qi Fubi has some pressure, and the most important thing is that they can't figure out why there are so many people.

Sun Yuexi faced them, no longer had the same pleasant face as before, but a serious face, first explained the attitude, which is related to a basic negotiation between the two countries, the position is different, and it will be fought on the basis of reason, and then introduced the negotiators around him.

Together with Sun Yuexi, they are responsible for different directions, including ports, commerce, personnel, finance and other different aspects, each project, has a special target, more than a dozen people, representing more than a dozen directions of refinement, and behind them, it belongs to them in these directions, in the direction, again refinement, but will not be on the negotiating table.

The envoys of the Northern Song Dynasty began to meet with the envoys of the Dinghai Navy for the first time, and it was such a shocking scene, not to mention the pressure on the index finger, but at the psychological level, overall, it made Fu Bi and Han Qi feel bad.

Relatively speaking, they brought too few people, and it seems that next time they will bring enough people to strengthen their courage, yes, it is to strengthen their courage.

The Northern Song Dynasty did not have such a professional navy, and it seemed that there were hundreds of people in the dark, but everyone had a focus, as long as the diplomatic strategy was focused on, there was a special person in charge, and those who sat at the negotiating table were just summarizing the opinions of these people and finally making a decision.

But the Northern Song Dynasty did not exist, and they brought so many people out because these people were useful, and they would not be brought out if they were useless.

I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart, but I can't blame the navy for this, it's just that this is something I've never encountered, and I can only eat this loss.

Soon, the guests and hosts did a good job, and the navy side was a black oppressive head, and on the Northern Song Dynasty side, more than a dozen people were sparsely lala, and then under the auspices of Sun Yuexi, it began.

But at the beginning, it was immediately a dismount, before, the feeling that the navy gave Fu Bi was that he was very kind, he didn't seem to have any temper, and some conditions that seemed to be too much were all agreed, but now, it seems to be airtight, from every angle, to block your problems back.

On the contrary, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Dinghai Navy is very relaxed, they are different from the Northern Song Dynasty, in the negotiations, first of all, in the first few days, it is impossible to get results, they are all spying, figuring out what the other party's demands are, and then on the premise of this demand, they begin to make targeted adjustments.

Diplomacy, in feudal society, was not valued, but in the era after the development of the industrial revolution, it became very, very important, for the simple reason that there is no way to kill with a stick, or in other words, with a stick to kill, the price to pay is huge, diplomatic means have become the key.

Through diplomacy, you can gain benefits without bloodshed, so why go to war, as long as you figure out the demands, and in the case of satisfying the demands, add a little coercion to solve the problem, there is no need to really go to war.

These few words occasionally mentioned by Zhao Xin, with the efforts and attempts of many diplomats, finally formed a set of rules, and this set of rules made the Northern Song Dynasty very unaccustomed to it.

This is different from the negotiation with the Liao State, which is obviously unreasonable, but the Liao State is messing around and oppressing people with power.

The Dinghai Navy is also using power to suppress people, but it is very reasonable, and each of them has a reasoned reason.

This is what makes Han Qi the most helpless, not rude, or they won't talk to you, they just bet on some key places, and then deduct word by word, word by word, without giving a reasonable explanation, then there is no way to continue.

This made the Northern Song Dynasty very unaccustomed, they didn't prepare so much content, even Han Qi couldn't, he felt that the things he had prepared before seemed to be useless, and they didn't come in handy at all.

One side is familiar with the situation and attaches great importance to this aspect, and the other side has a plan, but the degree of attention is not enough, or in other words, it does not understand what kind of level of diplomatic negotiations is.

That night, Han Qi and Fu Bi, who were in charge of participating in the negotiations, got together, very worried about the current situation, and said unceremoniously that this was a problem that they had never thought of before, and it really appeared, and what should they do in the face of this new problem.

Looking for Concubine Miao, this thought flashed in their hearts, but both of them vetoed this, obviously, it is not yet the time of the stalemate, and the Ding Navy did not deliberately make things difficult, they just asked in great detail, and fought for every place, which made them very unaccustomed, and they couldn't even figure out what the other party's demands were.

It was this feeling that stimulated Han Qi's anger, and he didn't believe it, such a diplomatic negotiation could still be difficult for him, and immediately let all the personnel take action to prepare from these aspects

Some of the things they can provide now, of course, are provided for the first time, in the middle, even Han Qi has invested in it, Han Qi and Fu Bi, the reason why they can stand out among the many officials and become the best among the young officials in the entire Northern Song Dynasty, the reason is very simple, their skills are outstanding, this ability, on the one hand, is the ability to be an official, but the foundation, is learning and memory.

No matter how many drawbacks there are in the imperial examination, and even how much sarcasm there is in later generations, there is one thing worth affirming, that is, the imperial examination is the most suitable one for promoting talents.

Even in other eras when learning was not much valued, those who could pass the imperial examination and be awarded official positions were not ordinary people, let alone the Northern Song Dynasty.

The literacy rate of the people in the Northern Song Dynasty is definitely the highest in the entire feudal dynasty, and since Taizu decided that scholars and doctors should rule the world together with the official family, the pursuit of culture by the people of the Northern Song Dynasty is endless.

In such a cultural scope, the entire Northern Song Dynasty has been a hundred years old, under the premise that everyone advocates learning, those who can stand out in the imperial examination are ordinary people, each of them is a talent of a hundred miles, a thousand miles, or even one in a thousand miles, such a person, among them, and together, to the highest position in history, this is how many, not to mention people like Fu Bi and Han Qi, who can be a head of a state capital, or a subordinate official of the Dao, is already very outstanding.

In the Renzong Dynasty, there were many brilliant figures, almost every prime minister was above the level, some of them were persistent, some were ethical, some were capable, and in terms of culture, they were definitely more than any feudal dynasty.

Han Qi and Fu Bi, both veterans of the Three Dynasties, have been slaughtered, although now, they have not reached their peak, but being able to stand out proves that they have excellent talent, Han Qi is good at civil affairs, Fu Bi is good at diplomacy, they are each in their respective fields, and they have begun serious preparations.

Learning is mutual, Dingjun in the first diplomatic negotiations, to the Northern Song Dynasty a dismount, but this dismount is just not ready, what they lack, they are prepared for those directions, so there is also a goal, the ability of their two leaders, coupled with the cooperation of many subordinate officers, temporarily prepared things.

But prepare these, this is already a few days later, they are about to usher in the second negotiation, they hope that this time, can make some progress, because the time is not enough, at most a little more than half a month, Zhao Xin's enthronement ceremony will begin, this contract, should be negotiated before and after the enthronement ceremony.
