Chapter 163 The Second Emperor of Sui Yang

"Handleman, I will summon you from the palace."

Not long after the memorial was handed over, someone came.

Chen An stood up and felt a little hungry.

He went out of the duty room and told him: "I have something to do after coming out of the palace, so I won't come back here."

Zhang Liufu followed him, feeling his heart and lungs trembling, so he nodded with a bitter face.

You are going to leave early!

Leaving early will lead to impeachment.

But he forgot that Chen An also had a post as a guest.

After arriving outside the imperial city, Chen An first bought a few pot stickers and then went in while eating.

The eunuch who attracted him said with a tangled look on his face: "Shen Guanzhao, this is the palace."

He had never seen anyone eat on the way to the palace.

Chen An swallowed the pot stickers and said with confidence: "The family is poor and I don't have breakfast."

The eunuch rolled his eyes and thought to himself that you are a rich man. You can make a fortune by just talking about Xianglu's business, but you are pretending to be poor.

So he walked all the way and ate. When he arrived outside the hall, he just finished the pot stickers, but his mouth was covered in oil and looked a little unconventional.

After entering the hall, Fu Bi and Han Qi were both there, and their faces were not very good-looking.

After the salute, Zhao Zhen said with a stern face: "It is customary for officials from all over the country to receive Korean envoys. As soon as you arrive at the Privy Council, if you don't understand these, you should ask more questions. Don't do whatever you think."

This is a small rebuke. I asked someone to send the news back to the harem later. I think the queen who felt wronged would be happy.

The queen admitted her mistake last night, but she was in a bad mood. She even did her best to serve her bed and was not dedicated at all...

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen felt that he was walking back and forth between the harem and his ministers, playing the balance very well.

Chen An raised his head and said in surprise: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, this practice has not been long!"

Goryeo borders the Liao Kingdom from land and is considered a younger brother of the Liao people. But this younger brother often crosses the sea or passes through the Liao Kingdom from land to the Song Dynasty to pay tribute.

Is this considered a second daughter married?

"When I was in Xiongzhou, I often heard officials in a certain place ruled without doing anything and traveled with my daughter..."

This was a bit of a slap in the face, but many important officials of the Song Dynasty had such experiences, such as Ouyang Xiu, who had followed a good Shangguan back then, and was so happy all day long.

But this is not doing your job properly!

Fu Bi frowned and said, "Just talk about the Goryeo envoy."

Can you tell me something?! Everyone has the problem of officials not doing their duty.

Han Qi also felt that Chen An had too much trouble, so he said, "This is a exchange of etiquette. If it weren't for this, where did all the nations come to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty?"

Chen An shook his head and said, "Although there are more officials in my dynasty, I have to work hard at least. Are the local officials so idle that they are doing nothing? If you come to an envoy, you will leave your work and go with food and drink. You have to..."

I still have to play with you!

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "This is etiquette, the etiquette is so great... You are just born in the Privy Council to do things."

Do your business well and don't stretch your hands too long.

The official's words are a bit of a blow to people!

Several prime ministers smiled slightly, thinking that Chen An should have a warning like this.

Chen An said seriously: "Your Majesty, I have taken over the post of deputy commander, so at least half of my diplomacy is in my hands, right?"

The Privy Council’s ritual room is in charge of external affairs, of course, mainly for Liao and Western Xia.

Fu Bi thought to himself that you dare to refute the official family? You are so brave.

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Diplomatic affairs are important, please go back and think about it for a long time."

"I have been thinking about it for a long time."

Chen An transformed into Bao Zheng's second place today and started a poisonous attack: "Since I have taken care of this, I have to say what I prefer to treat Goryeo people..."

"The Goryeo envoy came all the way, but there were officials accompanying the Song Dynasty, and there were arrangements for food and accommodation along the way. What would the local officials need to receive the grand reception?"

Chen An said angrily: "This is a welcome and a trip, but this should be the matter between the Honglu Temple and the Lifang. What does it have to do with the local officials? They are taking the opportunity to eat, drink and have fun!"

If we talk about who is the best in the Song Dynasty, it can be called Goryeo.

But the Koreans are fencemen!

Chen An felt that he should not give them more money, let alone that whenever their envoys appeared in the territory of the Song Dynasty, the officials along the way had to be welcomed.

"And other countries' missions are not allowed to trade privately. The Goryeo people kept giving their goods to Bianliang. The messengers transformed into merchants and traded in person... The difference between officials is too obvious."

Zhao Zhen was so angry that he pointed out of the door and said, "Go out!"

Chen An walked outside the hall, suddenly remembered something, and turned around and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Yang of Sui was so kind to outsiders back then..."

Fu Bi felt that this was a farce, and it was natural for the official to refuse.

But when he heard the name of Emperor Yang of Sui, his cheeks couldn't help but tremble.

He glanced at it, and Zhao Zhen's anger had magically dissipated.

In order to praise the wealth of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of Sui specially lured foreign envoys to come and meet him. Then he served with good wine and vegetables. After arriving in the capital, he even wrapped the branches in silk cloth...

This is not a good sign...

Fu Bi suddenly wanted to laugh.

Is this kid Chen An too cramped?

He first explained the wrong reasons, but in the end it was his killer weapon.

Your Majesty, you are a benevolent monarch. You can’t follow what Emperor Yang of Sui did, otherwise it would be difficult to write in history books.

Emperor Zhao Zhen is determined to be devoted to the eternal fame. If there is a second flaw in Emperor Yang of Sui, even if it is just a small diplomatic issue, he cannot tolerate it, right?

have to!

He immediately scratched the itchy part of the official family, and this matter is probably going to be troublesome.

"Your Majesty, this matter..."

Fu Bi knew that it was time for him to come forward, otherwise it would be difficult for Zhao Zhen to step down.

It seemed as if he was the first genius to know that the Song Dynasty was treating the Goryeo people preferentially, and said sadly: "I received a letter last year saying that the Song Dynasty treated the Goryeo people too much and ranked first among the countries that they interacted with. Isn't that right?"

It’s not that no one has ever said this, but everyone thinks it’s not a big deal, so they just threw it away.

Even if Chen An didn't mention it today, some people would say it later. For example, Su Che, he later specifically said that he was too generous to treat Koreans.

Zhao Zhen pondered, his face was not good-looking.

He looked up and saw that Chen An had not left, but stood outside the hall, staring at him with a straight look.

This young man was a little reckless, far inferior to the flexible skills of the important officials.

But this is the direct minister!

Don't hide it from hiding it, just say something.

And when you look at his expectant eyes, it is clear that the Song Dynasty suffered a loss and should not continue to let the Koreans take advantage.

A innocent heart!

Zhao Zhen found a step for himself and said, "This matter... is very discussed, but it is hard to talk to Goryeo."

This is done!

Any emperor, except those who are stupid or those who are disguised, rarely care about their reputation.

Leave a name in history!

What a temptation!

Chen An cleverly grasped the mentality of the official family, and with the last blow, he got the best of things.

This boy...is interesting!

Fu Bi turned around and took a look.

Chen An bowed outside and said, "Your Majesty accepts advice like a stream, and is ashamed of Qin Emperor and Han Wu..."

The Qin Emperor and Han Wu were mostly brutal, so Chen An couldn't say this better.

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "You should do things well... and avoid offending others."

You have offended the Queen's relatives for just one day. If I hadn't suppressed me, I would have looked good.

But this was the next day, you actually offended the Goryeo again, you...

This advice was very kind, Chen An bowed silently and then left.
