Where is the sword of the reborn eagle

She is Genghis Khan's Princess Huazheng, the brightest pearl on the prairie, she wants to become stronger, strong enough to protect the relatives she wants to protect.

......

July is hot, this July seems to be extraordinarily hot, and even Lin'an, which has always been mild in previous years, is also very irritable at this time.

Today is the last big court meeting in July. Since Shi Miyuan returned to his hometown to recuperate, the city of Lin'an seems to be much calmer.

Even at the Great Court Meeting, civil and military officials were all in harmony, and the most discussed topic was the territories recovered by His Royal Highness King Yan.

At first, he was not very popular, and even worried that if he went there to be an official, he might take more risks than in Song Dynasty, so many people were waiting and watching.

But two or three years have passed, and those first batch of officials who have passed have made real political achievements, and their official positions have become bigger and bigger, which has aroused the envy and jealousy of many people.

When I tried to find a way to go there, I found that there was a system of its own, and it was beyond Lin'an's control.

It is no exaggeration to say that the territory and army built by His Royal Highness King Yan in the past few years are not much worse than those of the original Song Dynasty, and their combat power is much higher.

Many officials in Lin'an are confused.

They watched helplessly that the once invincible Dajin Kingdom became fragmented just like that, and more territories were miraculously taken over by His Royal Highness King Yan.

So, where will Da Song go in the future?

How does His Highness the Crown Prince deal with himself?

With Shi Miyuan's departure, many people in the government and the opposition were excited, but there were also many people who were in panic all day long.

On this day, the official Zhao Kuosheng sat in the "Daqing Hall". This official has become more and more proud recently.

Just last month, the 57-year-old Zhao Kuo actually impregnated another concubine in the harem with a dragon seed.

Things that haven't happened for many years made Lao Zhao's heart swell again.

"My lords, I have something to announce. Today is the last big court meeting in July. If there is nothing important, go back and rest earlier. This hot day..."

Zhao Kuo has gained some weight recently, probably due to the double pleasure of body and mind, and his appetite has been greatly increased, and he is no longer afraid of delicacies from mountains and seas as he used to be.

"Reporting to the official family, the old minister has a book to play—"

Standing in the purple robes at the forefront of the civil servants, one person from the class played loudly.

"Oh, old Cheng, what's the matter with you?"

Zhao Kuo was taken aback when he saw that the person who left the class was Cheng Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites and Sima of the Prince Yan's Mansion. Could it be that another mission from the Kingdom of Jin came to trouble him?

In the past two or three years, in the post house in Lin'an, there has been almost no presence of the Jin Kingdom Mission.

Of course, they didn't come here to show off, let alone extort money, they all lined up to beg to see our Cheng Shangshu for work.

"Officials, the old minister received two envoys two days ago. The situation is special, and the old minister dare not be self-reliant, so I asked the official face to face at today's court meeting."

two days ago?

Zhao Kuo was a little puzzled.

Ordinarily, with Cheng Yi's qualifications, if there is something really important, he can go directly to the palace to find the official, instead of waiting for the court meeting two days later.

You know, the big things are discussed in the big meetings, and the big things are done in the small meetings.

If it was a trivial matter, Zhao Kuo himself would not believe it. Old Cheng Yi was not one of those censors who casually made fun of hearsay when he was full.

In fact, after receiving the envoys from the two places, Cheng Yi first met Xue Ji, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the right chief of the Yan Palace, and Nan Xiren, the "Nanshan woodcutter" in the Palace of King Yan, and then met Wei Jing, the censor Zhongcheng. had a face.

After deliberation, it was old Xue Ji who gave Cheng Yu the idea to tell him about it in public at the Great Court Meeting two days later.

"Cheng Qing, what made you so cautious? This is not like your style of doing things? Haha——"

Zhao Kuo didn't forget to tease old Cheng Yi.

"Officials, receiving foreign missions is originally the duty of the veteran Ministry of Rites. It's just that these two missions are a bit special, one is from Xixia, and the other is from Luo's ghost country."

"Oh--"

After Cheng Yu finished speaking, not only the official Zhao Kuo, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all interested.

The Luo family's ghost country had come to Lin'an to worship a few years ago, and when Song needed it most, he sent [-] war horses as a gift.

For this reason, Zhao Kuo specially issued an imperial decree to form an alliance with Luo's Guiguo'an family and be friends forever.

Xixia is even more amazing. A few years ago, even if Da Song came to your door with a heavy gift, people might not be willing to receive you. It is even more difficult to exchange some war horses from them.

Moreover, Xixia at that time did not border on the Song Dynasty, and there were not many contacts with each other. I don't want to send envoys here now.

It seems that it is the credit of His Royal Highness King Yan, who won the entire Hedong and Guanzhong Plains, and can be regarded as neighbors with Xixia.

"Where are their envoys? Let's go to the 'Daqing Palace' together—"

Now that the Great Song Dynasty has turned itself into a powerful country, envoys have come to both places, and old Zhao Kuo always wants to put on a show.

"The envoys of the two countries are outside the palace, and the official orders are announced."

It seemed that Cheng Yi was well prepared.

"Old man, go and invite people up."

The old eunuch glanced at Cheng Yi, then at Xue Ji and Wei Jing next to him, and thought that these three old men were very bad, and he might not be so peaceful.

Not long, two people came up from outside the "Daqing Palace".

One of them was dressed in black, with a black cloth covering his head, and a disc-shaped hat with a beautiful pheasant feather inserted in the front end of the hat.

The other person was wearing a white robe, broad and wide, with a red pattern painted on his forehead, and a necklace made of unknown animal bones hung under his neck.

Zhao Kuo still knew the person in black clothes. He was the one who came last time. Elder Shi from the Luo Shi Ghost Country. His identity in the Luo Shi Ghost Country was equivalent to the commander of the Imperial Palace's Ouchi Guards.

I don't know the other one in white robe, but looking at his distinctive national costume, he is naturally a party member from the east.

"Foreign minister Luo's Guiguo Shi Ming paid a visit to the official family of the Song Dynasty—"

Old acquaintance Elder Shi bowed first and saluted.

"Foreign Minister Dabai Shangguo Li Dehai paid a visit to the Song Dynasty officials—"

Looking at the envoys of the two countries who both paid homage in the "Daqing Palace", the official Zhao Kuo felt so beautiful.

Look, this is the demeanor of Qiang Song. I have a good son.

"Haha, isn't it a joy to have friends from afar? You two have come from afar, and you have worked hard all the way. I don't know what to do when you come to Lin'an?"

Elder Shi didn't speak immediately, as if he wanted to see why this Xi Xia envoy came?

In the eyes of their Luo family's ghost country, Xixia is also the existence of a big and powerful country, and there is still a little bit of humility.

Li Dehai didn't hesitate, and said with cupped hands.

"The foreign minister has two purposes for coming here."

"First, His Royal Highness King Yan of your country came to Zhongxing Mansion a few days ago, and hit it off with my Supreme Emperor. The Supreme Emperor made an appointment with His Highness King Yan to come to Anxizi Lake to spend the rest of his life."

"Foreign ministers are here to make a stop, to see how the house is getting ready?"

"Secondly, the Emperor Taishang revised a letter and asked his foreign ministers to present it in front of the officials of the Song Dynasty, intending to betroth our country'Princess Yincheng' to His Royal Highness King Yan, and to present the entire Yinzhou as a dowry to King Yan."

"what?--"

"hiss--"

As soon as Li Dehai's words fell, countless people in the "Daqing Palace" gasped.

This is too exaggerated, too incredible, right?

The overlord of a country is coming to Ancheng to retire?is it possible?

Marrying their so-called "Princess Yincheng" to His Royal Highness King Yan is more or less plausible, and intermarriage between countries is also considered normal.

It's just that there are not too many women who take the initiative to come to the door like this.

The biggest handwriting was to use the entire Yinzhou as a dowry?

Yinzhou is not bad, the influence in Xixia can at least rank in the top three, right?

Even Elder Shi, who was listening from the side, was almost petrified.

Is this still the Great Xia Kingdom that dominates the northwest?

Or is Da Song now so powerful that people worship him?

Although Shi Ming is a martial artist, he can be regarded as a rough man, and he has been in a high position for a long time these years. Under the subtle influence, he still understands the big things.

It's just that he came here this time only to perform the duty of guarding, and he was not given too much power, and he really didn't dare to decide some things privately.

"Envoy Li, are you serious about what you said just now? A few days ago, the King of Yan sent a letter saying that he wanted to set up a house by the West Lake. The house has been prepared, but I didn't expect it to be prepared for the Supreme Emperor of your country?"

"I remember how old Li Wang is when I am older than me. If I really want to come to Lin'an, I will go out of Lin'an ten miles to meet each other. I will often go there to disturb each other, and go boating and fishing on the West Lake, hahaha——"

Old Zhao Kuo was really happy at this, laughing until tears flowed out.

"Officials, how can foreign ministers talk nonsense? This matter was personally decided by the Supreme Emperor and His Highness King Yan, and my king also nodded in agreement. It's just that the summer is hot, and the Supreme Emperor will not leave until August."

"Actually, the most important errand for foreign ministers here is the marriage between 'Princess Yincheng' and His Royal Highness King Yan. There is a letter written by the Supreme Emperor here, and I hope the officials will allow it—"

Li Dehai took out a finely handcrafted brocade bag from the sleeve of his robe, which seemed to be a silk book.

The old eunuch glanced at Zhao Kuo, the official family, and went down the steps to take it with his own hands. After carefully checking it himself, he took out a bright yellow silk book from it.

I checked the silk script carefully again, not looking at the content, but to check whether there are unclean things.

"Haha, you old man, why are you so cautious?"

Although Zhao Kuo said so, he patiently waited for the old eunuch to finish his inspection before accepting it with confidence.

Sure enough, the content of the silk script is generally the same as what Li Dehai said just now.

What kind of medicine is sold in this Supreme Emperor's gourd?

Is he really willing to spend such a large amount of money?

It's marrying a princess and sending it to Yinzhou. Could it be that Xixia has reached the point of life and death?

Or, what promise did Xiao Qi give them?

"Haha, Messenger Li, I already know what is said in the silk book. I agree with this matter with both hands, but it is a big matter, and I still need to discuss it with several important ministers."

"It's rare for Envoy Li to come to Lin'an, so let the people in the Ministry of Rites arrange for Envoy Li to have a good time in Lin'an for a few days. How about I give you an answer after three days?"

Zhao Kuo's many years of experience in governing made him feel that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.

He didn't agree on the spot, and planned to discuss it with a few resourceful, treacherous and cunning veterans after the Great Court Meeting.

"That's fine, the foreign minister's mission has been completed, so I will resign for the time being and wait for the good news from the official family."

Li Dehai, the Xixia envoy, once again bowed and saluted, and withdrew from the "Daqing Palace".

"Haha, Elder Shi has kept you waiting for a long time, but you are my old friend, so you shouldn't be picky?"

Zhao Kuo, who is in good condition, is really a man with long sleeves and good dancers. He is more experienced in dealing with these foreign envoys than Cheng Yi, Minister of Rites.

"Don't dare, the fortune of the Great Song Dynasty is booming, and now it is the most powerful country in the universe, and the foreign ministers congratulate the officials—"

After Shi Ming finished speaking, he performed the most solemn etiquette of their nation.

"The number one powerhouse? Haha, Elder Shi is overrated. The Great Song Dynasty is still far behind, and we must continue to work hard. I don't know what is the purpose of Elder Shi's visit to Lin'an this time?"

"Reporting to the official family, the foreign ministers came to An'an this time, mainly to perform the duty of guards. The matter is somewhat similar to what the Xixia envoy said just now, but there is no Supreme Emperor in my Luoshi ghost country, but the "Yongnan King" personally appointed by the official family. 'coming--"

Elder Shi said respectfully.

"King Yongnan?...What? Elder Shi, you just said that your King Yongnan has arrived in Lin'an?"

Old Zhao Kuo stood up from the dragon chair in shock.

The Yongnan King whom he proclaimed himself?

Then who else is there, that child named An Simo, who I changed to Zhao Simo.

You're five years old, right?

"Officials, King Yongnan is just outside the 'Daqing Palace'. If it is convenient, the ministers can bring him up now. It's just that King Yongnan is still young, and the ministers are worried that he will lose his dignity... "

"What's wrong with you? Go, let the child come over—"

Old Zhao Kuo was extremely excited, this is also his own grandson!

Although, on Peach Blossom Island, Zhao Kuo hugged Guo Yi, Guo Xiang and Guo Xiao more than once, but who thinks a grandfather has too many grandchildren?

Especially for this official family, he had nine sons of his own, and only Guo Mo survived. He wished that Guo Mo could marry more wives and give him more grandsons and granddaughters.

Seeing that Zhao Kuo was so excited, Elder Shi was relieved and came outside the "Daqing Hall" in person.
