Chapter 147 Confrontation (1)

The princess of the Liao Kingdom ran away, but Li Zhang was not happy. He had a conflict with the Liao Kingdom mission yesterday, but it was not a big deal with Liu E. However, he did not expect that the Liao Kingdom princess actually took the opportunity to escape, which was a problem. What's worse is that he even claimed his identity, which made him worried that the fire would burn him.

As the saying goes, what you are afraid of is what you are. Sure enough, before Li Zhang finished his class in the morning, Li Di came to Zishan Hall in person, and then called him outside the door and asked, "Li Zhang, did you have a conflict with the Liao delegation yesterday?"

"Yes, yesterday I saw those Khitans running horses on the street and almost stepped on a little girl, which made people save her. This also had some conflicts with the Liao delegation!" Li Zhang said half-truely, and Liu E was not mentioned in his words, because he didn't know if Li Di knew that he was with Liu E and Zhao Zhen yesterday?

"I have also heard about yesterday. These Khitans are indeed too arrogant. But now the Khitan delegation has lost someone. They have already attacked the lawsuit to the court, saying that you kidnapped their people and are now complaining to the queen in the Chugong Hall!" Li Di frowned and spoke again.

"I know the princess of their mission was lost, but what does it have to do with me? And I want their princess to take it home and be the wife of the village?" Li Zhang couldn't help but say irritated when he heard this. He didn't expect that Yelu Yanshou was so shameless and directly put the shit basin on his head.

"As a scholar, how can you make such vulgar words?" Li Zhang's words were as soon as Li Di finished speaking. He had strict requirements on students, and he had to be in line with his identity as a scholar, and Li Zhang's words "Madam of the Village" obviously exceeded his bottom line.

"The student was wrong, but these Khitans were really too slandering. They obviously lost the princess, but they forced the charges to me. The student was so angry!" Li Zhang immediately admitted his mistake. Li Di was very strict, but he was a good teacher and very responsible. Even as the prime minister, he often came here to check the study progress of Li Zhang and Zhao Zhen.

"Forget it, I know you were wronged, but the Khitan delegation sued you after all. Now that people are still in the Chuigong Hall, they are unwilling to leave. I don't think you can confront them in person. Also, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can think of putting such a crime on you!" Li Di couldn't help but show a very sharp look when he spoke at the end. After all, he was the prime minister. If he couldn't even protect his own students, wouldn't it be a joke for the people of the world?

"Students are willing to go!" Li Zhang nodded without hesitation immediately. He also wanted to see Yelu Yanshou's shameless face.

Seeing that Li Zhang agreed so simply, Li Di believed his words even more. He took Li Zhang away from Zishan Hall. Although Zhao Zhen, who was in class, didn't know what happened, he also showed a worried expression.

"Li Shaofu, will such a big incident in the Liao Dynasty lose the princess? Will it cause disputes between the two countries?" Li Zhang couldn't help but inquire with Li Di on the way to Chuigong Hall.

"It's hard to say this. If the princess can be found, then this time the matter is not big. But if it can't be found, it's probably not easy to explain to the Liao Kingdom. Fortunately, the queen has blocked the news. Now, in addition to the few people in the mission, there are only a few important officials in the court. In addition, you and the prince know about it." Li Di couldn't help but sigh in the end. Although the Song Dynasty is rich, its military strength is not strong, which makes them less confident when facing the Liao Kingdom.

"Tokyo City is so big, it's like finding a person in a haystack. What's more, the ghost beggar has been so fussy recently. If the princess of the Liao Kingdom falls into the hands of the ghost beggar, he will only live without seeing anyone or die without seeing the corpse. At that time, even if the court uses a large army, it will probably be difficult to find it." Li Zhang also expressed his own point of view immediately.

"This is exactly what we are most worried about, but the princess of Liao is not familiar with the place and should not be able to run far. Now the court has sent people to search for it secretly, but there is no news yet." Li Di also frowned at this time. This matter cannot be made public, otherwise it will only bring greater danger to the princess. After all, Tokyo City is mixed with fish and dragons. If a weak woman falls into the hands of someone with ulterior motives, she may end up miserably.

Li Zhang and Li Di chatted while walking, and finally arrived at the Chuigong Hall. When they entered the hall, Li Zhang saw the screen in front of the main seat at a glance. Needless to ask, it was Liu E behind the screen. After all, Zhao Heng was confused and he definitely couldn't handle such a thing. He could only let Liu E come forward. However, as a woman, it was not convenient for Liu E to meet foreign ministers, so she could only use a screen to separate it. Later, after Zhao Heng passed away, the screen was changed to a curtain, which was called ruling the politics behind the curtain.

In addition to Liu E, Li Zhang found two people standing in the hall. One of them was naturally Yelu Yanshou, whom he saw yesterday. This guy looked angry when he saw Li Zhang coming in, but this place was the palace of the Song Dynasty, so he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

Opposite Yelu Yanshou, there was an old man in his fifties. Although his beard was gray, his face was well maintained, and he could not even see any wrinkles. His facial features were quite handsome, just like a handsome uncle in later generations, but his demeanor was far beyond ordinary people. No matter where he went, he was the focus of the crowd.

"Ding Wei?" Li Zhang couldn't help but guess in his heart when he saw this middle-aged handsome uncle, because in the event of such a big deal as today, except for Li Di, only Prime Minister Ding Wei is qualified to stand here.

Ding Wei was extremely talented when he was young. He was not only smart and versatile, but also knowledgeable about divination of celestial phenomena, calligraphy, painting, chess and piano, poetry and music, etc. He was a rare genius. At that time, many people called Ding Wei a "giant scholar", but no one expected that this giant scholar would become a traitor in the future.

However, Li Zhang was a little unsure, because according to rumors outside, Ding Wei had a sharp-mouthed monkey cheek, but why was there a rare handsome man in front of him? If the other party was really Ding Wei, it would be too different from the rumors from the outside. However, it is not surprising that Ding Wei has a bad character and has done a lot of despicable things to climb up. The public has not highly praised him, so it is normal for the rumors from the outside to vilify him.
