Chapter 52: The Envoys of the Great Liao
The whole Daqing Hall is about 80 meters wide from east to west, and more than 60 meters deep from north to south. The building is built on a rammed earth platform with a convex plane, and the four walls of the platform are covered with green bricks. It barely looks spectacular......
Wen Fei went straight into the main hall, and suddenly the layers of the dragon squad directly reported: "Father Shang has arrived, Father Shang has arrived!"
By the time Wen Fei entered, he had already alarmed everyone. Zhao Ji got up from His Majesty Dan with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Father Shang came just in time, I have been waiting for a long time!"
Wen Fei bent down slightly to show respect for the imperial power. In the middle of the main hall, he saw a few guys wearing golden hats, the back brim of the hats was relatively pointed, purple thin robes, and golden sashes. There is no need to look at it, Wen Fei also knows that this is the envoy of the Liao State.
Among these crowds, it was definitely not the blue-faced and fanged monster in the mouths of the two little eunuchs. Although the clothes are strange, they all look white and clean, pampered, and there is no trace of that kind of ferociousness. Among them, there is actually a scholar dressed as a scholar, and he even looks polite, which is no worse than the scholars of the Northern Song Dynasty.
I have long heard that the Sinicization of the Liao State is very deep, and the emperors of the Liao State are eager to turn themselves into "Chinese". There are even some who say that repairing cultural relics is tantamount to Chinese ...... This cultural relic is not an antique cultural relic of later generations, but an article and a classic, a ritual vessel, or a material and spiritual one that should be closer to China...... Become Chinese!
From this point of view, we can see the great appeal of ancient Chinese civilization, and then think about the rounder moon in the West in later generations. Suddenly people couldn't help themselves......
"It turns out that this is the father of the Great Song Dynasty, and I am Ouyang Shilang, the envoy of the Great Liao. Meet Shang's father...... "Although the Liao people are here this time. It was a strong stance to deter. However, the Khitan people are superstitious, and the prestige of Wen Fei, the protector of the country, has already spread to the Liao State. Where did these people not know? Suddenly a little awe-inspired.
Wen Fei just wanted to speak, but saw a yellow-robed Taoist priest walking out from among the Khitan envoys. Xiang Wenfei said: "Wait ...... A certain is the sincerity of Pantuo Lingxiao. I have always heard that there was a heavenly master in the Southern Dynasty, and he actually falsely claimed to be the Taoist leader. Poor Dao has always been unconvinced, and I am fortunate to see it today, I don't know if the sect leader can convince Poor Dao!"
The appearance of this Taoist priest suddenly made Wen Fei's heart sink, just now he looked at it, but he didn't notice the existence of this Taoist priest, he had to wait until he stood up himself. Wen Fei only noticed him.
Such a strange situation shows that this person is extraordinary. can actually hide his qi, although Wen Fei didn't pay attention to it. But with this hand, it shows that this person is extraordinary. Even if it is not an earth immortal cultivator, at least it is the realm of the grandmaster of the founding sect.
Thinking of this, Wen Fei couldn't help but scold the simplicity of the palace in the Northern Song Dynasty. Whether it is the Forbidden City of the Manchu Qing Dynasty in later generations. It is still a palace in the Han and Tang dynasties.
It is much better than the simple palace of the Northern Song Dynasty. Supports a complete feng shui array. It can make the will of heaven, the hearts of the people, and the earth and qi unified and suppressed.
Except for the Taoist who has the luck of the dynasty and has been officially canonized by the dynasty, it is impossible for others to cast the slightest spell in this kind of place!
Even in the vicinity of the Imperial Palace, in the entire Imperial City, it is impossible. It's like Grandma Hu. No matter how powerful it is, no matter how powerful it is, it is impossible to come and go freely in such a position so close to the palace. Mess around. Of course, it is impossible to give this Xiao sincerity a chance to speak out!
Wen Fei remained silent, didn't even look at the Taoist priest at the end of his eyes, and walked up on his own. His seat was in the middle of His Majesty, even one block higher than the crown prince. Fortunately, Wen Fei didn't come to this court meeting often, otherwise the prince would be restless.
It was as if Wen Fei was sitting on it now, and the crown prince Zhao Heng's face suddenly changed color. Originally, from a legal point of view, the prince was the closest to the throne. The successor of the empire, the number two man. But now Wen Fei's position is still above him. Make him fidget!
Zhao Heng was just restless, but that Xiao's sincere face turned into a pig's liver. He made provocative remarks, and he didn't expect Wen Fei to ignore him directly as air!
It seemed that these Khitans were too arrogant just now, and some courtiers stood up and sneered: "What is the identity of Father Shang?
That Xiao's sincere face was red and purple, and it looked a little terrifying. That Ouyang Shilang also felt ashamed, as if as soon as Wen Fei came in, their turbulent momentum just now seemed to have fallen to the bottom all of a sudden. couldn't help but stare at Xiao Chengcheng fiercely, and shouted: "Who let you talk nonsense, don't go back quickly!"
As long as you look at the position where Wen Fei is sitting above the main hall, you can know how high Wen Fei's status is, even above the crown prince. According to the diplomatic practice of the Song and Liao countries, the two sides were equal. Wen Fei's identity is also equally noble in Da Liao, and even according to the convention, this kind of identity, birthdays and other things, Liao has to send envoys to congratulate!
is only a Xiao sincerity, mixed in the Liao envoy corps, and he is just a Taoist official of the six grades. and Wen Fei's identity is far away.
Na Xiao retreated sincerely and hatefully, and Wen Fei felt a sense of happiness in his heart. No matter how high your Taoism is, but ...... Liao has never believed in Taoism! Naturally, the status of a Taoist priest cannot be higher!
Then again, as long as Yi Di enters the Central Plains, he will not believe in Taoism. Even to suppress desperately, no wonder some people in later generations called the current dynasty my Houqing......
Of course, this is just Wen Fei's nonsense in his heart, and it doesn't matter......
Ouyang Shilang is a righteous envoy sent by the Liao State after all, not an incompetent person. quickly adjusted his mood and said to Zhao Ji: "Your Majesty, my Emperor Daliao and Emperor Daxia are in-laws. Now that the Great Song Dynasty is bullying Great Xia, I, Da Liao, will naturally not ignore it! Please also ask Your Majesty to withdraw from the army as soon as possible, so as not to hurt the harmony of our two families!"
Such threatening words made Zhao Ji's face ugly. I only heard this thing continue: "I have a million iron riders in Daliao, and the generals are like clouds. If it weren't for the fact that you and I have been safe for a hundred years, otherwise my emperor would have joined forces with Great Xia and invaded Bianjing!"
Such a naked threat is like a whirlwind, blowing through the entire Daqing Palace. Think of the millions of cavalry of the Liao State, like locusts going south, everywhere they go, they are invincible. Couldn't resist it, and fought all the way to the city of Tokyo......
Thinking of this terrible situation, the monarchs and ministers of the palace were a little discouraged. If Wen Fei had just come to the Northern Song Dynasty, he would naturally have to laugh at the courage of this great Song monarch.
But Wen Fei has been staying in the Northern Song Dynasty for a while, but he feels that this is also excusable. In fact, although the city of Tokyo is prosperous, the geographical location is too bad!
The capitals of the dynasties of the past dynasties are all in dangerous places, mountains and rivers, and places of beauty. Only this Tokyo city is on the edge of the Yellow River, a plain. The cavalry that swept in from the north could not even meet the slightest obstacle on the road.
From Hebei to Henan, it is a flat river, without the help of geographical advantages. It would be like a pipe dream to hold off the cavalry's charge......
Therefore, when the Great Song Junchen heard Ouyang Shilang's threat, his face almost turned green.
Zhao Ji's gaze wandered, and finally landed on Wen Fei.
Wen Fei finally couldn't express his silence anymore at this time, and secretly said in his heart, you Khitan barbarians, your luck is really bad. If it was before, this Heavenly Master might not have done anything about you, but now this Heavenly Master has just made a fortune from Lao Mei, and you will send it to the door yourself.
It's good, it's good. Although this Heavenly Master is a kind person, you stretch out your face and beg this Heavenly Master to beat you. Then I can't complain about this Heavenly Master!
Thinking of this, Wen Fei said lightly: "These Western Xia thieves have assassinated Ben Shang's father three times and twice. If you Liao are not convinced, send troops to try it. Let you taste the Dao methods of Ben Shang's father!"
Wenfei's exit can be described as earth-shattering. In the entire hall, those Khitans were not frightened. All the ministers of civil and military affairs were frightened. I didn't expect Wen Fei to say such a thing, and his face became very exciting. The whole hall was in an uproar......
Wen Fei shouted: "Quiet, there is no noise in the hall!" but he gave the responsibility of serving the imperial history in the palace on his behalf. The entire hall was drunk like this, and it was quiet in an instant, and the needle drop could be heard!
Ouyang Shilang's face turned pale, and the words just now frightened the Great Song Junchen, making him triumphant, and his heart swelled infinitely. But Wen Fei's words made Ouyang Shilang stunned for a moment, and only after a long time did he say with a blushing face: "What Father Shang said is serious!"
"Father Ben Shang has just recently taken some divine weapons from the Heavenly Court, and he was about to send them to the northwest to give those party members a taste. Since the envoy of the Great Liao Kingdom is here today, why don't you take a look at my weapons?"
Before Ouyang Shilang could speak, the original sincere Taoist priest stood up and laughed: "I'm pretending to be a god and a ghost again, don't you hear that gods and people don't communicate." Even the Immortal Buddha can't appear in the human world, let alone any divine weapon!"
Xiao Chengyi said this, which did not make Ouyang Shilang's heart settle down, but instead felt even more uneasy. Regarding the father of the Great Song Dynasty, who suddenly emerged, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State have always been very concerned.
Naturally, he knew that Wen Fei's ability was ancient and modern, and he could even know that Wen Fei had borrowed hundreds of thousands of catties of grain from the Dragon Palace of the Four Seas, which relieved the food crisis in Tokyo!
Distance produces beauty, and distance produces more mystery. The monarchs and ministers in these palaces have too much contact with Wen Fei and are too close, so it is easy to forget Wen Fei's skills.
Thousands of miles away, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State were simply restless when they heard the news. If nothing else, let's just say that during a big war, in case the supply of grain and grass was not available, Wen Fei suddenly borrowed millions of grains......
