I became the son of Renzong

"Xi'er, school will be suspended for one day tomorrow. Daxia sent an envoy to ask for a reward, and his prince, Ning, ordered his elder brother to enter the court. Daxia sent an envoy to meet my prince of Song Dynasty to congratulate him. The court agreed that you will be interviewed by the court tomorrow."

Zhao Xi was a little taken aback.Does this still require reciprocal reception?

Daxia should be the country called Xixia in later generations.Let's call it a country at this time. In Zhao Xi's impression, the territory of the so-called Great Xia is also the land of a province in later generations.

The question is, didn't it mean that Guochao designated itself as a vassal state?

Since it's an audience and coming to the court, a few words from an envoy should be enough?

"Your Majesty, my child has never had this experience before, so I don't know what etiquette or taboos are required for an audience at court."

Although there were too many doubts, Zhao Xi did not refuse what the court had already decided.

Otherwise, those scholars who rely on their mouths to make a living may say some shocking things.

"The frontier countryside, how can you understand etiquette? My son only needs to follow the etiquette of the country. Mo Shi is dignified."

That's it, even though he was timid in his heart and lost in several confrontations, he never admitted that they were equal in status.

He has already let himself, the prince, meet with the next prince, and they are still small people on the frontier.Even the empress speaks like this, let alone the princes of the court?

Early in the morning, before Zhao Xi had time to go for a run for exercise, there was an inner prison waiting.

In other words, Zhao Xi really has never worn a formal court dress, such as a flower crown with a seven-beam forehead, a sable cicada cage scarf, a gold-coated silver pen, a real jade pendant, a ribbon, a gold-coated silver leather belt, and black leather shoes.

Zhao Xi listened to the eunuch call out, and was manipulated casually like that, he didn't understand anyway.

He thought he was a prince, probably dressed similarly to his father's two cousins, and when he was finished, he looked at the bronze mirror for a long time... It was not the same thing.

Zhao Xi didn't care about these, the color of the clothes was still light and simple, although it was unfavorable, it didn't make him feel disgusted.

Anyway, I just went for a cutscene, to show that there are successors in the Song Dynasty.As for the confrontation between the two, it should not be up to him to get started.

Being led by the inner prisoner, Wang Zhongzheng also followed in formal attire... This kid is considered to be of a rank now, and he also has the corresponding attire.

Although Guochao has never officially recognized Daxia as an equal country, but this etiquette... Although Zhao Xi doesn't understand it, he thinks it is quite high-standard, and it is completely prepared to receive the ambassador.

The genius is just so bright, not only has he tossed himself, even his father has been prepared to stop early.

Also said that it is a vassal state?

This is the first time Li Yuanhao has sent an envoy since he founded the country and the dynasty, and the letter of credence stated that he was seeking a seal of honor from an audience.

Zhao Zhen was very concerned about this interview.

At the beginning of Li Jiqian's rebellion, the country conquered many times and was defeated. After Li Yuanhao established the country, he fought many times, but he was still defeated.

Guochao had to admit the existence of Daxia in fact, although the book of state whitewashed the matter of spending money to buy peace, calling it a yearly gift.Even Zhao Zhen knew in his heart that it was just a thin layer of fig leaf.

With the fact that he was granted the title at this meeting, it is not in vain for him to stop the new policy of reforming the country.

If it weren't for the repeated defeats, Zhao Zhen would not have the idea of ​​making troubles.Now, with that fig leaf in place, Zhao Zhen no longer has the thought of rectifying state affairs...it's too troublesome.

It's nothing more than a matter of money. My son also said that money is nothing.

Today, Great Xia sent an envoy to ask for title, presumably Fan and the like can understand my intentions, right?

"Xi'er..."

When Zhao Zhen saw Xi'er dressed up, he seemed to think of himself back then... At that time, he also had the idea of ​​working hard... Alas, it was too complicated.

"Daddy, the child has never experienced..."

"It doesn't matter, the princes and servants of the court will deal with it, and Xi'er can treat it safely."

The father and son didn't say much, Zhao Xi was not as close to his mother as he was with his father.

Don't talk about blood relationship... He doesn't even know how to explain his identity.

In addition, Zhao Xi doesn't know where his father sleeps every day, and rarely has any parent-child time.So, the father and son just sat there dryly.

"Xi'er, how about your studies?"

"Going back to Daddy, Hai'er doesn't know how to express it. Master thinks that if the childbirth test hadn't been cancelled, Hai'er would have been the first case in Kaifeng."

This is really not bragging, it was Zhao Xi who lowered the standard.In Sun Fu's words: If the prince can take the imperial examination, although he is a little short of the first grade, the second grade is advisable.

Zhao Xi didn't really believe Sun Fu's recommendation of Maocai, who had tried many times, but he was sure about Tongshengjian.

Seeing Zhao Xi's self-confidence, Zhao Zhen felt quite proud.

As far as Xi'er's current reputation is concerned, whether it is a scholar or a civilian, it is even higher than that of an emperor.This is also his only comfort...

Zhao Zhen picks up and picks up and talks to his son when he has nothing to say, and from time to time, he reveals some emperor's experience to his son, and talks about the affairs of the court intentionally or unintentionally... This can be regarded as teaching by example.

However, Zhao Xi didn't agree with his ideas. He listened obediently on the surface, but he really didn't like some of his father's actions in his heart.

Dad is nothing more than: balance, compromise, tolerance, and courtesy.To put it bluntly, it is fooling.

But, father, this person is not used to it at all, and if he gets used to it too much, he will get spoiled.

Chapter 64

It is not far from Wende Hall to Zichen Hall, and Zhao Xi arrived there within a short distance with his father.

It was only at this time that Zhao Xi discovered that the reception of envoys was not much different from the reception of scholars, but the difference was based on rank and prestige of scholars.

Another point is that the imperial court and the envoys sit opposite each other, and only the emperor is independent.

Zhao Xi can also be regarded as a servant, and his position is the first under the steps on the left side of his father's desk... This is probably the source of the title of His Highness.

Looking at the King of Runan and the King of Beihai that he attacked, Zhao Xi is also a little proud...Small!You are the cousin, so you have to be under my grandfather's hands.

Following the chanting of the servants, Daxia's envoys entered the palace one after another.

They were indeed small people from the frontier, they had no manners to speak of, and there was no way to enter the palace, so they coaxed them in like a swarm.

Zhao Xi discovered that the person sitting opposite him was actually a young man... this must be the prince of Da Xia.

A rather strong boy, the long-term invasion of wind and sand, his face seems to be more anxious.Zhao Xi estimated that this kid was only fifteen or sixteen.

A bunch of hair on the forehead, then the bald top of the head, and finally the small braids tied behind the ears... Zhao Xi felt that it was novel, so he looked at it a few more times.

Hey, hey...won't people look at her like this?

The boy on the opposite side actually gave him a glare, and he was still vicious.Who are you bluffing?

Zhao Xi saw how stupid he was, and wanted to see what would happen to him if he continued to watch himself.
