Chapter 438: This Great Song Is Different(1/2)
"Zhancheng is domineering?"
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, and Ouyang Xiu came out.
"In the first year of Kaibao, Jiaozhi was independent..."
Ouyang Xiu read a lot of books and calmly told this history.
"... Chameng is respectful and obedient to the Song Dynasty and has made many contributions... and Jiaozhi stands in the middle, and the Song Dynasty is constantly raiding the Song Dynasty in the north, and Chameng in the south is constantly invading... It is a disaster!"
Disaster?
This term is a humiliation in the field of diplomacy!
This shouldn't be the case!
Li Bai was a master of the Song Dynasty. He was not only proficient in the Song Dynasty, but also had a lot of research on the Song Dynasty. Therefore, this time he was sent by Li Rizun to put out the fire.
According to his analysis, the southwest was just a useless trick for the Song Dynasty, as long as it was not a big deal.
So he was confident about this trip, and his conversation with Shen An yesterday was just a test.
After the test was completed, he felt that Chen An was threatening and bluffing.
But now Zhao Zhen’s attitude is cold and Ouyang Xiu is even more aggressive, which is clearly serious.
In the past, Jiaozhi was not afraid of the threat of the Song Dynasty, because in their eyes, the Song army was useless.
But after the last ambush in Xipingzhou failed, the large Jingguan standing outside the forest made the saying that the waste was self-defeating and made the people of Jiaozhi frightened.
He raised his head and smiled, "Your Majesty, Jiaozhi has always been respectful to the Song Dynasty. This time, the foreign ministers were ordered to come here just to explain the matter and plead for reopening the trade."
This is still a test.
Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Is water trade?"
"No……"
Li Bai was shocked and remembered what Chen An said about the Song Dynasty sending troops to join forces with Chameng, and said, "Your Majesty, those in Xipingzhou are indeed traitors!"
"More than 20,000 traitors? Or elite soldiers, who do you want to deceive? Do you want to deceive His Majesty?"
Old Ouyang Xufa scolded: "If Li Rizun is not a minister, the great Song Dynasty heavenly soldiers will naturally advance together by land and water, and destroy this court food!"
Han Qi and others were shocked and wondered why His Majesty’s attitude was not right?
And Ouyang Xiu, this old guy is so fierce that he is abnormal. Why is that?
Before they could react, Li Bai had already bowed to apologize and said, "All mistakes are all those rebellious mistakes... The foreign minister brought some gifts to apologize..."
"Gift?"
Ouyang Xiu said disdainfully: "Isn't it compensation?"
Li Bai sighed and smiled bitterly, "Yes, the foreign minister brought the gift of compensation."
Chen An...I underestimated Chen An!
He knew he underestimated the young man and paid the price for it.
If he had agreed yesterday, today's court meeting would be harmonious, and Emperor Song would only scold a few words lightly.
That young man could actually influence the foreign policy of the Song Dynasty?
"The noble envoy can retreat, and there will naturally be someone to contact you later."
Li Bai felt bitter in his heart and bowed and said he was leaving.
After leaving the hall, he looked at the sky and sighed: "Why is this Song Dynasty a little different?"
In the hall, Han Qi and others were confused, but they wanted to ask, but looked a little embarrassed.
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Yesterday Chen An was scared by the messenger. Today, he was scolded and suddenly he was leaked. He treated the goods he originally wanted to sell as compensation for apologies. I am disrespectful."
Han Qi immediately looked at Ouyang Xiu!
Chen An met the envoy yesterday, and only the officials should know the news, but today Ouyang Xiu cooperated with the officials perfectly, which shows that he had a tacit understanding.
What does the official family mean?
Some are the prime minister, why don’t you communicate with someone?
He raised his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, it is a good thing for Jiaozhi to apologize. Once the southwest is stable, the Liao people will have no way to provoke it. The Song Dynasty can be content with internal affairs."
His mind was like a mess, and the thread was floating around and he couldn't catch it.
Zhao Zhen nodded and said, "Chen An is quite accomplished in diplomacy. I originally wanted to bring him back to the Privy Council, but the deputy commander is responsible, what can I do?"
Ouyang Xiu smiled and said, "Didn't Tang Ren get the true teachings of Chen An. He can deal with foreign envoys with vassals with ease and use both soft and hard skills. Your Majesty can rest assured."
Zhao Zhen also smiled, but Han Qi's heart was bitter.
Why should the official avoid me?
He frowned until the meeting of the little court that he frowned out.
"Han Xiang is careful at his feet..."
Thanks to a reminder from an eunuch, Han Qi didn't step on the verge of time.
He nodded slightly to thank him, and the eunuch immediately smiled flatteringly.
Han Qi couldn't help him get promoted, but he was still smiling. This is a habit, an instinctive habit of weak people.
Han Qi's body was shocked and he thought of something.
Yesterday, Chen An saw that Li Bai's incident must have been monitored by the Imperial City Department throughout the entire process, and then reported it to the official. The official did not inform the matter, but instead chose Ouyang Xiu to cooperate...
Ouyang Xiu is famous for advancing his younger generations. This move... was to avoid collective discussions from the prime ministers and also to open a message to Chen An.
Han Qi recalled what happened recently...
Faced with the advice of all officials, the officials have already let go and are no longer so resistant to joining the royal family and entering the palace.
In other words, the official felt that his life was not too long, so he needed to train some talents for his successors.
Sima Guang and Wang Anshi were transferred to serve as daily notes for fellow practitioners, so they should carefully observe their nature and make suggestions from time to time.
But Wang Anshi refused to be an honest official, but Sima Guang was a good deal.
Chen Anwen can do things, Wu can do things, and he can do anything.
These people are rare prime ministers. The officials are bound to be happy to see hunting and want to cultivate them...
Han Qi looked at the sky and sighed: "That boy is so lucky!"
...
Chen An also felt very lucky.
"Guoguo!"
Guoguo rushed over quickly with Huahua. Chen An just smiled and said be careful, Guoguo ran over.
Wang Rong appeared outside the door, holding a bag of oil paper in his hand, and said proudly: "Guoguo see what this is."
"quail!"
Compared with Shen An, Guoguo has the appetite of a Bianliang people and likes fried quails very much.
But in the past, Wang Rong would rather give her jade pendant than give her quails. What's wrong with this today?
Wang Rong took out his left hand and there was an oil paper bag.
"Thank you, Brother Wang Rong..."
Guoguo ran away with Huahua again, Aunt Chen trotted behind him, gasping for breath.
"Be reserved... the little lady... be reserved..."
Wang Rong sat next to Shen An and asked, "Are you afraid that Guoguo will not get married in the future?"
Women regard tranquility as beauty, and those who are lively and lively are probably the same as ordinary people.
Chen An said indifferently: "My sister, some people will come to marry you in the future."
Wang Rong's eyes were a little confused, and then he was a little happy.
Men are moody, either crazy or encounter problems.
Chen An didn't ask, but just heard Wang Rong talking about what happened outside recently.
"Su Shi is selling his characters."
"What?"
Chen An was a little confused: "He is short of money? Then say it!"
Wang Rong shook his head and said, "No, the result of the imperial examination is coming out. He will definitely be able to pass the test, so money is not a problem... Brother Anbei, he seems heroic, but your help several times made him feel embarrassed."
The heroic Su Shi was so embarrassed?
Chen An laughed and stood up and said, "Let's go, let's take a look!"
Wang Yun reminded: "The Jiaozhi Envoy is here, and you may think of the Great Jingguan you built, so be careful."
