"Bachelor Han?!"

"It's Han Gang."

The extremely young important minister of the Song Kingdom in front of him just arched his hand, and behind Xiao Xi was the sound of gasp.

The accompanying envoy was Han Gang's brother-in-law, Wu Chong's second son Wu Anzhi, who didn't take much time during the handover, but when he met the Liao envoy in person, he didn't expect to have such a reaction.

"Bachelor Han is famous all over the world, and the country is also well known. For the pox, I am very emotional. I couldn't help but be surprised to see my face today, but it made the bachelor smile. ”

"Don't dare to be. Han Gang is a little famous, and the so-called credit is also the result of following the teacher's path. Han Gang smiled, "It's Xiao Linya's name, and Han Gang has also heard of it for a long time." ”

After the Liao delegation arrives in Beijing, it will rest for three or five days in the Duting Station, and then arrange a time to go to the palace to submit the credentials. Seen in the Zichen Palace, feasted in the Vertical Arch Palace. When it comes to the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting, it is to go to the palace again and participate in the court meeting and palace banquet in the Daqing Palace. After that, there will be a speech and a banquet before leaving. This is the most basic etiquette.

However, this year's Zhengdan Dynasty, because of the serious illness of the Son of Heaven, is likely to no longer be held, but to drop out of the dynasty to pray for blessings. In this way, it is possible to reduce three to two. But the pressure on Han Gang's side will only be greater, and the Great Dynasty Meeting will not be held, which is equivalent to issuing an amnesty edict, and the emperor representing the Great Song Dynasty will almost have one breath left. Knock on the bamboo pole, and it will only open the mouth of the lion.

"Xiao Xi came on the orders of the king, and I don't know when I can go to the palace to submit my credentials." Walking into the Duting Station hand in hand, Xiao Xi couldn't wait to test it.

Han Gang was secretly helpless, after all, it was impossible to hide it, "The saint is uneasy, and Lin Ya will stay for less time for the time being." ”

Xiao Xi's face suddenly flashed a hint of ecstasy, and he hurriedly surrendered his hand, "I don't expect that the Son of Heaven of your country actually violated the royal body, please forgive Xiao Xi for his vain words...... However, with Master Han here, he should be able to stay safe. The emperor of your country is the uncle of the son of heaven in the country, and his father has always been worried about him on weekdays. ”

Han Gang looked back with an unhappy face. Zhao Ji is the nephew and uncle of the emperors of the Liao State before and after, and the uncle of the new emperor of the Liao State today. And Yelu Yixin is only the father of the Liao Kingdom, although he has the word 'father', it is just a title of respecting the old minister, if he wants to have a relationship with Zhao Jipan, is it qualified enough? ! Let's talk about it when we usurp the throne.

Being glared at by Han Gang like this, Xiao Xi lowered his head and apologized, "Xiao Xi lost his words." ”

It was rare for the Liao people to bow their heads, Han Gang nodded, and he didn't dwell on this matter. Instead, he said: "The ambassador has worked hard from afar, and a little thin water and wine has been arranged, please sit down first." ”

Han Gang and Xiao Xi walked into the hall side by side, and at the sumptuous reception banquet, the two did not mention any more official business, just drinking.

After the banquet, Han Gang awarded the money and goods given by the imperial court to the Liao envoy according to the custom, and then left. But he has to come over tomorrow, and before Xiao Xi leaves Beijing, Han Gang has to come every day to accompany him.

The deputy envoy looked cramped and uneasy in front of Han Gang, and he didn't even say much, and after the reception banquet, Han Gang said goodbye, and he was relieved. hurriedly complained to Xiao Xi: "Why is this great god here?!" ”

Xiao Xi also wants to ask! What is Han Gang's identity, and how did he condescend to be the embassy companion!? If he goes to the Northern Dynasty, Shang's father has to welcome him out of the palace. As soon as Han Gang arrived at the scene and reported his name, his momentum was immediately suppressed.

The medical level of the Northern Dynasty was far inferior to that of the Southern Dynasty, and there was a lack of medical treatment and medicine, and the disease of pox was much more serious than that of the Song people. In the Great Liao Kingdom, whether it is Xiao Xi, Zhi Gan, or even Yelu Yixin himself, they have a large number of children who died of acne in their families.

After the pox method did reduce the incidence of smallpox, the name Han Gang was very loud in the Liao Kingdom, even in the northernmost Shengjurchen. Countless nobles revered Han Gang. The Liao people who believed in Futu basically regarded Han Gang as the reincarnation of a disciple of the Medicine King Buddha, and even set up a statue in the Medicine King Temple. How many can be disrespectful in front of him?

For a while, Xiao Xi had a headache and a toothache, and even his stomach ached faintly.

Don't talk about breaking dry, the other people in the mission see that they all regard Han Gang as a god, how can this be negotiated? Maybe the bottom will be leaked in a blink of an eye. This is not without precedent, in the past, there were envoys of the Song Dynasty who were too close to the Song people, and they leaked all the bottom limits of the negotiation, not to mention, but also helped the Song people reduce the resistance to bargaining, and the ass could not be deviated any more.

After being distressed for a long time, Xiao Xi suddenly raised his head, "What is the official position of the Han Bachelor newspaper in front?" ”

He asked his subordinates.

A servant with a good memory immediately reported: "Bachelor of the Senior Palace, Bachelor of Hanlin, and Judge Taichang Temple." There is also the founding county of Donglai County, and the school inspection ......"

"Don't report these false names." Xiao Xi raised his hand, the first two bachelor's titles were enough, and he shook his head: "How can there be such a combination of methods?" ”

With Xiao Xi's understanding of the official positions of the Song people, although it is very shallow—such a complex official system is actually not something that few Song people can figure out—but he also knows that the Dao Senior Administration Hall should be for the Zai Governor, and the Hanlin Bachelor is obviously one level lower.

"It's a good thing, too." After thinking for a while, he suddenly said, "With the identity of Master Han, he should definitely be promoted to the two mansions." Letting a senior scholar be a Hanlin and an embassy companion is not a compliment, but a derogatory. It can be seen from this how empty the hearts of the Song people are. ”

"But Master Han is the Medicine Master King Buddha......"

"So what?!" Xiao Xi interrupted, he gritted his teeth and said with a cruel smile, "The Taizu of the Southern Dynasty is still the reincarnation of Maitreya Buddha, and he didn't kill his own brother?" ”

If you don't go back to heaven, you're just an ordinary person, and there's nothing to be afraid of. The meat chopper is all out, Xiao Xi will not take it back. What's more, Father Shang has already arranged manpower to cooperate with him, and the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Dynasty will receive the news before the New Year's Festival!

The sheep before the New Year festival are the fattest, and it is good to cut a piece and go back for the New Year.

……………………

Lu Huiqing stood in the enemy tower at the head of Chang'an City, overlooking the endless white world in the distance.

He had been watching Kansai Fengyue for a long time, and now it was finally time to leave this world.

"Privy!"

Lu Huiqing turned his head and glanced lightly at the accompanying officials behind him.

On weekdays, he was already an extremely humble subordinate, but today he was doubly respectful, "It's windy in the city, so let's go down first." ”

"Wait." Lu Huiqing smiled, "I don't have much time to see the scenery here." He waved his hand and motioned for the official to go down to the city first.

Facing the marshal minister and Jingzhao prefect of the Yongxing Military Road, and facing the privy envoy who is in charge of the military of the world, of course, are two completely different situations.

Everyone in the world says that it is good to be an official, but how good it is can only be felt when you are on the sideways in person.

It was reused again, but there was no joy in Lu Huiqing's expression, which made the officials below admire him even more, and the city government and mind that were not shocked were naturally only possessed by the prime minister.

Although Lu Huiqing immediately took it without even giving in, everyone knew that in this chaotic situation, as long as officials in other places made a slight resignation, earth-shaking results could occur, far less than when they were in the capital.

The subordinate bowed his waist and retreated.

"Privy." Zheng Xi, Lu Huiqing's most trusted doorman, looked excited at this time, "This is going back to the capital!" ”

"I'm going back!" Lu Huiqing didn't expect that he would be able to return to the capital as a privy envoy so quickly. The previous arrangement of the imperial court was obviously to maintain stability, but in the blink of an eye, it became a situation of complete collapse of the old party. The treacherousness of the court makes people feel frightened.

Sima Guang was blamed, Lu Gongshu was demoted, and Wang Qi even lost his family this time. The New Party is in full swing...... Lu Huiqing suddenly sneered. The decisiveness of the Son of Heaven, after hearing about the winter solstice night before, Lu Huiqing had already felt it very clearly, and now it was just a further confirmation.

"Sure enough, it's the Son of Heaven who is on the throne."

A subtle voice came from the front, and Zheng Xi looked at Lu Huiqing in disbelief. Is he complimenting? It looks similar, but the tone doesn't sound like it at all.

"Yesterday's news from Huanqing Road, Pingbo, do you know the way?" Lu Huiqing said suddenly.

"Is it the Liao people who are moving south with Xingling's army?" Zheng Xi asked.

"Three thousand soldiers and horses is not a small number." Lu Huiqing said slowly, "I also asked Pingbo to help draft a notebook, and asked the imperial court to quickly appoint a good minister to guard the Yongxing Army, I am afraid that it will be too late!" ”

"Zheng Xi understands." Zheng Xi nodded.

If it is a normal personnel change, the successor official arrives first, and the current official can not officially leave until he has successfully completed the handover procedures and checked the accounts, but at present, the edict accepted by Lu Huiqing is very formal, and there is no need to wait for a successor. It is even quite possible that the successor will not arrive in ten days and a half months. The objects of the account sealing will be the deputies and shogunates who are in charge of military and political affairs.

Lu Huiqing held three positions in Chang'an, holding all the way to the military and politics, but once he leaves Beijing now, the political affairs of Jingzhao Mansion will be handled by the general judgment of the Fuzhong, and the military order of the Yongxing Military Road is attributed to the deputy chief of soldiers and horses and the deputy envoy of the economic strategy, but because of the relationship between the military generals, the military and political affairs in the economic strategy division are taken by the judge of the pacification envoy of the economic strategy. The separation of power among the three families will continue until the next Yongxing military envoy and Jingzhao prefect takes office.

"Before the new official takes over, stay in Jingzhao Mansion for a few days, pack up slowly, and you won't anger the queen." Lu Huiqing said again.

Zheng Xi wanted to nod, but his neck froze. Since Lu Huiqing has taken over the post of privy envoy, but now he still has to drag it out in Kansai, what does he want to do?

Zheng Xi's surprise was in his eyes, and Lu Huiqing smiled indifferently: "Xingling Liao Division is going south, and the soldiers are threatening Guanxi, I am a privy envoy, the head of the Western Mansion, how can I leave like this?" ”
