Sword wash the setting sun

Chapter 58 Returning empty-handed
Zhao Jiping walked around in the station like an ant on a hot pot.

He traveled thousands of miles on this trip and assumed the important task of envoys of the two countries.Leaving aside the dangers on the way, the main reason is that this trip is related to the fortunes of the two countries, and it is even more related to my own future and official career.If the matter is successful, it is possible to rise to the top and rise to the top; if the matter fails, it is not impossible for King Miao to send it to the Southern Song Emperor, and it is unknown when the time comes;
Just when Zhao Jiping was in a state of confusion and fidgeting, he heard the postman shout, "King Shuntian is here!"

Zhao Jiping felt as if he had received an amnesty, like a dying person encountering a life-saving straw. The joy he felt was beyond words.Zhao Jiping hurriedly got up to greet him.

The visitor was eight feet tall, dressed in a white brocade Han gown, and held a folding fan. His face was clean and beardless, his appearance was imposing, and there was a hint of sickness between his brows, but his gestures and gestures looked extremely elegant and extraordinary.Even in Luoyang, Zhao Jiping seldom saw such a personable royal relative Dagui, and a tinge of joy suddenly arose in his heart. "I met Prince Shuntian."

"The ambassador came from a long distance, and the boat and the car are exhausting. The king admires it very much. I came here to pay a special visit!"

"My lord is serious! I heard in the Northern Wei Dynasty that there is a Shuntian prince in Miaojiang, who highly recommends the Han culture. I just saw it today, and I know that the prince is an extraordinary existence in this world."

Shaking the sky Yingjie suppressed the disgust in his heart, "I don't know what message the ambassador brought from Mr. Zhu Guo?"

"Oh! I was so happy that I almost forgot that this is a letter written by our lord. I specially asked the villain to be handed over to lord Shuntian!" Zhao Jiping took out a wax pill from his bosom and handed it to lord Shuntian.

King Shuntian took a look at the wax pill and found that the seal was intact, so he took it and wanted to leave.

"My lord, please stop. May I ask how I can answer Mr. Zhu Guo?" Zhao Jiping looked bewildered and nervous.

It was so hard for someone to talk to me, but he left without saying a word. Isn't he going to sit on the bench again?
"Before you leave, I will answer you!" After Shaking the Sky Yingjie finished speaking, he didn't stop any longer, leaving behind Zhao Jiping who was dumbfounded and stood there.

Shaking Yingjie returned to the mansion and opened the wax pill.Take out the note inside: "For the alliance, you must convince King Miao, Xianbei will send his troops south, and naturally the prince's benefits will be indispensable!"

After reading it, Shaking Yingjie took out the torch and burned the note!Deep in thought.

After a long time, he got up and shouted: "Come on, prepare the car!"

"Where is the prince going?"

"Meet King Miao!"

The guard outside the door agreed to go.

When I was young, a carriage headed for the Miao Palace.In the car, a refined young man looked dignified and thoughtful!
The carriage went straight to King Miao's mansion, and the elegant young man entered the main hall and prostrated: "I pay my respects to my father, may my father be blessed and live forever!"

"Yingjie! Hurry up and get up!"

The young man got up and stood with his fists folded. "Father, how are you doing recently? My son is not filial. I haven't visited my father for a long time. Please forgive me!"

King Miao said lovingly, "Yingjie, sit in front of King Father."

Shaking Yingjie stepped forward and sat beside King Miao.

Sometimes, dignitaries are not as happy as ordinary people, and even family relationships are so cramped and deliberate!
"Yingjie, how are you doing recently? When you leave later, take some good ginseng back."

"Thank you, father! My son is still the same! No problem!" Shaking the sky Yingjie looked at Miao Wang hesitated to speak, and finally summoned up his courage to say, "I don't know if I should ask you something..."

"It doesn't matter what you say!"

"I don't know what your father thinks about the Northern Wei alliance?"

"The ministers of the DPRK and China advocate an alliance and the opponents are equally divided, and the father does not know how to make a decision."

"Don't father want to expand the territory and become the emperor of the world?"

"Father is old! If you are in good health, father may change his mind..."

King Miao sighed and continued, "Prince Prince has a stable heart. On the day of his father's death, he will leave disasters behind. I'm afraid it will affect Miao Jiang. There is no need to mention this matter again!"

Miao Wang felt melancholy in his heart, and Shatian Yingjie was not good enough to persuade him.

The rare reunion of relatives, but it implies the spying of interests. Although it does not hinder the political situation, it is a heavy blow to the family relationship!

"Father is tired, go to rest early! My son will resign!" Shaking the sky Yingjie had no choice but to resign!

A coachman over half a century old, wearing a clean gray cloth gown, and a yellow puma horse pulling a luxurious carriage walked slowly towards the south of the city.Like the frown of the refined young man in the car.

"Father is more influenced by elder brother..."

Shaking Yingjie in the carriage was extremely disappointed.

God gave a good opportunity, but the father was hesitant to decide, and it was the elder brother who played the key role in the end.

The hero who shakes the sky has always been satisfied with the status quo and short-sighted.But it is the prince!

Why is God so unfair!Shaking Yingjie is full of grief and anger but has no way to vent it!

"Go home!"

The half-century-old coachman agreed, shaking the reins in his hand, the yellow pussy horse exerted strength with both feet, and the carriage quickly headed towards Shuntian Palace.

Shaking the sky Yingjie returned to the study room, filled with grief and indignation and solemnly wrote: "King Miao is concerned about the heart of the prince and does not want to form an alliance. If the Northern Wei Dynasty sent troops to the south, I will definitely mediate and harass the frontiers of the Southern Song Dynasty!"

After sealing the wax pills, Shatian Yingjie ordered a guard to disguise them and send them to the post station Zhao Jiping.

Since King Miao did not want to form an alliance, it was not good for Shaantian Yingjie to get too close to the envoy of the Northern Wei Dynasty.That's why it's specially arranged!
Zhao Jiping in the post station was anxious at first, seeing people offering wax pills and seeing Shatian Yingjie, he already understood a thing or two.

After a lot of hard work, I expected to achieve a great cause, but in the end it was such a failure.Fortunately, receiving this wax pill was the only gain of this trip, and Zhao Jiping felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart!

In the next few days, Zhao Jiping begged to see King Miao several times, but all he received was rejection!

Finally on the fifth day, Zhao Jiping lost his patience, thinking that it would take a lot of time to avoid interrogation at the Southern Song Dynasty checkpoints on this trip.There can be no further delay, Lord Shangzhu is still waiting for an answer.So Zhao Jiping asked the postman to tell King Miao that he would get up and leave the next day.

The next day, King Miao sent someone to send some money, which was regarded as a tactful rejection of Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

With mixed feelings in Zhao Jiping's mind, he accepted the package and set out on the road.

……

Luoyang, Shangzhu Kingdom has just written a letter to the emperor, and the emperor sent his troops to the south, and the grand plan to expand the territory was approved.

Gongsun Gang waited for several capable subordinates to recruit troops everywhere, preparing to go south.

"Is there still no news from Zhao Jiping?"

"Returning to my lord, Luoyang is not far away from Miaojiang, so it will take a long time..."

"Miaojiang is weak, and there is little hope for this alliance. The only hope is that King Shuntian. But I am not sure how powerful King Shuntian is! That's all! How is the conscription going?"

"Fighting for years, the number of people is small, and the number of people marching and fighting is even more pitiful. For a few days in a row, the number of soldiers recruited by the subordinates is less than five thousand..."

"It's really not easy for the people, it's better to unify the world as soon as possible, so that the people of Liming can escape the suffering of war!..."
