"The intelligence from Da Qin shows that there are only five people in the envoy and some guards. Now what does this count? Is it possible that these people are included in the guards? The standard is too high!"
Gao Qiu looked at the information in front of him with a little embarrassment. Nie Feng, the Second Sword Emperor, Jian Chen... who are these people? Of course, there is also the most troublesome Zhou Tong. Haha, he has not forgotten that Zhou Tong had
When they were still officials in the imperial court, they squeezed out others.
However, they are all masters of the land rankings, so they shouldn’t be so stingy, right?
Perhaps it was because Cai Jing felt that the weight of the Qin mission this time was a bit heavy, the person in charge of Honglu Temple was not qualified enough, and the Minister of Rites reported that he was ill at home, so Cai Jing left the reception to Gao Qiu.
This can be regarded as the first meeting between Zuo Zhou and Gao Qiu. It feels... very ordinary. Logically speaking, a person who is in a high position and is good at crowding out intrigues should be more or less impressive. It is a pity that Zuo Zhou is disappointed.
.
"Master Gao, I have admired your name for a long time, hehehe."
Gao Qiu trembled at Zuo Zhou's laughter. What do you mean?
"General Li's name is so thunderous!" Gao Qiu sneered.
The meeting between the two was basically without any nutrition. Apart from arranging food and accommodation, Gao Qiu did not mention arranging for them to meet Song Huizong. Zuo Zhou was happy to see that he did not mention it. In fact, it would be embarrassing if he did meet him.
After all, the main reason he came to the Song Kingdom was to find Zhan Shiqi. Now that they had all been found, he would have gone back long ago if he hadn't been worried about not losing etiquette.
What should we talk about if we really meet Song Huizong? Do we really talk about trade between the two countries? Stop talking about it. The border has been occupied by the Qing army. What a nonsense!
So after only a quarter of an hour of the whole process, Zuo Zhou and Gao Qiu separated. When they went out, Gao Qiu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with relief. He felt that General Li was quite easy to talk to.
Zuo Zhou also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he is not a politician and cannot be one. Diplomacy and other matters should be left to professionals. So the question is, who is the professional in this team?
Cao Zhengchun!
Xiao Cao is a talent. He has been in the palace for a long time, and he has naturally learned a lot under the influence of his own eyes and ears. Of course, not everyone he has met can learn it, but Xiao Cao is also unwilling to be beaten by others, so he will learn attentively.
.Now it is used.
"From now on, I will promote you to the position of Deputy Envoy of the Mission. You will have the same official title as Zhan Zhao. You will be responsible for wrangling with them."
Cao Zhengchun reluctantly continued, "Sir, there is no need to argue. According to etiquette, we can submit a request for an interview and wait. Song Huizong is a man who does not know the importance of the enemy and ourselves, so he will definitely leave us alone as he did before."
"Like before?" Zuo Zhou was a little curious, "Is this an unwritten rule?"
Cao Zhengchun nodded, "After all, in terms of status, we are envoys from other countries. Song Huizong is the emperor and is higher than us. It would be a shame to accept anyone who asks for an audience, so we have to refuse once, wait for a while, and then see you again."
.Of course, except for emergencies or special circumstances."
"It seems to make sense. Did Emperor Qin do this before when he was here?"
Cao Zhengchun shook his head, "Emperor Qin never does this, he just follows his mood."
Zuo Zhou was happy, "Then why haven't you heard anyone criticize this before?"
Cao Zhengchun smiled and said: "It's because the reception will be faster than usual if you follow your mood, because Emperor Qin cannot be in a bad mood for several days in a row. Emperor Qin will handle some state affairs whenever he is in a good mood, even if you don't invite him.
If I meet you, I will take the initiative to summon you."
Zuo Zhou suddenly asked, "What is Hu Hai's habit? Does it also depend on his mood?"
"That's not true. The new emperor has been taught by teachers from the Ministry of Etiquette since he was a child. His behavior is quite in line with etiquette and law, very similar to Song Huizong."
Cao Zhengchun said it unintentionally, but Zuo Zhou suddenly remembered something. Everyone knew that Zhao Gao was advising Hu Hai with malicious intentions, so Li Si and others used this matter to make a big fuss.
high.
This is a bit funny to talk about. After all, there is no evidence to prove that Zhao Gao has such amazing power. How can he revitalize the country by going against his opinions? It sounds very unreliable!
But this is the fact. It may be the fixed development trajectory of heaven, or it may be the relationship between parallel planes. Zhao Gao was one of the causes of the demise of the Qin Dynasty on the next door earth, so working against him here can play a role in revitalizing the Qin Dynasty.
.
But I remember that in the history of the earth next door, Li Si was also held hostage by Zhao Gao. Now here, Li Si is being held hostage in another way.
It's interesting to say it, but the hidden dangers are not that big. After all, during the long-term confrontation, the Great Qin court formed two parties, one on the surface, the Zhao Gao Party, and the other actually the Li Si Party.
Not to mention Zhao Gao, but Li Si is very likely to really threaten the imperial power!
People's hearts are fickle. People like Di Renjie, Bao Zheng, and Song Ci who have been proven by their deeds in two worlds may always maintain their original aspirations, but what about the rest?
Will Li Si change his mind after being in a high position for a long time? Since ancient times, ministers of the auxiliary country have often had troubles, and there are always only a few who are willing to delegate power and retire bravely.
"It's better not to see him. I don't know what to say to him, hum." Zuo Zhou turned around disdainfully, then smiled at Zhan Qi and said: "Let's go shopping while the four great holy monks and Zhao Zhengha are there."
He hasn’t come yet, let’s have fun for a few days.”
Zhan Shiqi was naturally happy but still looked at Zhou Tong a little worried, "How about Master come with us for a walk?"
Zhou Tong stroked his beard angrily, "What are you going to do, old man? Don't worry, if something happens, I'll be there in the blink of an eye. Bianjing City is not that big, and you can't escape my perception."
Zhan Zhao was a little dumbfounded, "I know you are strong, but there are so many of them, and they are the famous Four Holy Monks and Earth Ranking strong men, so you must be prepared."
Zuo Zhou asked curiously: "Are the four holy monks famous?"
Zhan Zhao was stunned by these words. He thought for a while and said: "The matter of Buddhism... Since Emperor Qin destroyed the Shaolin Temple, no one paid much attention to it. Buddhism developed well in the Tang Dynasty. But these four saints
I don’t know exactly what the monk did, but he seems to be pretty good at martial arts, so he must be at least one of the four masters.”
"Hey, there are four people on the list, not even the ground list. There is nothing to prepare." Zuo Zhou said casually, pulling Zhan Shiqi and ran out.
Zhan Zhao and others shook their heads in amusement, is it so inflated?
Speaking of which, there were not many opportunities for Zuo Zhou and Zhan Shiqi to get along alone. In the past, they were mostly with A Xiang by their side. Not only was she thin-skinned, but A Xiang was also thin-skinned. Otherwise, if they were co-sleeped at an early age, Qing wouldn't be in trouble.
Ping took the lead.
Now the two of them are happy. Looking around, Bianjing is the capital of the Song Dynasty, and Song Huizong is a person who knows how to enjoy things, so the prosperity of Bianjing even surpasses the feeling of the imperial capital.
Of course, it is just prosperous. The scale and style of Zhenlun must be that of an imperial capital.
The two walked on the road like ordinary lovers. The handsome man and the beautiful woman held hands throughout the whole process and turned heads. They also met many dandy boys who got interested in each other just like in the bloody drama. But unfortunately, Zuo Zhou was not even ten meters away from him.
Paralyzed by fear and murderous aura, Zuo Zhou didn't even have the desire to kill them.
At noon, the two of them found the best restaurant for dinner, and less than fifty meters diagonally opposite the restaurant was Chunyun Tower, where Master Li was.
In the afternoon, I walked around the suburbs of Bianjing. I could see young ladies from various prefectures gathering together everywhere. It looked like they were meeting friends through literary exchanges, but Zuo Zhou looked more like a blind date.
There were a few people who were very good at writing and writing at first glance and wanted to invite them to participate. However, Zuo Zhou was still a little self-aware. In this comprehensive world that existed in every dynasty, there was no future for ancient poetry. As for modern poetry, he could not
Let’s fool people by saying that it’s facing the sea and the spring flowers are blooming.
So the two of them ran away cowardly, and returned to the Honglu Temple Mission Station for dinner in the evening. After chatting casually with everyone, the beautiful day ended with a dark battle.
The next day, Song Huizong rejected their invitation as expected. Zuo Zhou was very happy. When he was about to repeat the wonderful daily life with Zhan Qi, he saw Song Jiang...
"Hey, that's a bummer!"
Looking at the young, beautiful and delicious Zhan Shiqi next to him, and then looking at the dark and fat Song Jiang in the distance, the excitement suddenly dropped.
"Business matters, go, go, go!" Zhan Shiqi suppressed a smile and pushed him.
"No, no matter what he does, even if it turns the sky upside down, it is the Song Kingdom that is unlucky." Zuo Zhou made a long note, shook Zhan Shiqi's arm, and acted like a baby! I have never lost to anyone!
"Don't make trouble, it's a big deal...I'll let you try new positions tonight..."
"It's a deal!" Zuo Zhou's expression turned mean in a second, "Little pervert, are you looking forward to it?"
Exhibit 17: "..."
Zuo Zhou chased after him very proudly. Of course, this plan must be advanced step by step. Today he tried a new posture. Tomorrow he can show off his voice in the daytime, and he can play with cars the day after tomorrow. Is it still far away that he will be co-sleeped?
Hey hey hey!
Pedestrians from all walks of life on the street trembled in unison. What was the laughter that just flashed past?
…
Song Jiang basically wore no makeup, and probably no one thought that the leader of Liangshan would come to Bianjing at this time.
Song Jiang brought Hua Rong and Wu Yong, who were almost indistinguishable from the pedestrians on the road. The reason why Song Jiang brought Hua Rong and Wu Yong was because among the brothers, they were the two who looked the most human.
Hua Rong raised his head and said, "It should be right here, Chun Yun Tower. Hehe, I heard that it was the forbidden concubine of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. I don't know what it feels like."
Song Jiang laughed and said, "Brother, if you are interested, you may want to taste it. Then Song Huizong can taste it, why can't my brother taste it?"
Hua Rong chuckled but waved his hand and said: "Brother, don't be ridiculous. I still know the priority of the matter. We will kidnap him after we have accomplished the task. Then let brother have a taste..."
"This is Bianjing, please be careful what you say."
Hua Rong's words were interrupted. Yan Qing slowly walked out of Chunyun Tower. Without even looking at them, she just extended her hand and said, "My master is waiting inside, please!"
Song Jiang and others knew that Yan Qing was also the reincarnation of the demon star, but he had not awakened the memory of the demon clan, so they didn't care.
Zuo Zhou, who had been following behind, saw everything the whole time, and couldn't help but wonder. There seemed to be a section in the original work where they came to see Master Li, hoping to convey their wish to recruit him. But Song Jiang or Liangshan wouldn't do this now, right? So what are they doing here?
