On the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the fourth year of Hengsheng, there was a great court meeting in the Chui Gong Hall, hundreds of officials went to the hall, and the king came to the court to discuss state affairs.
While hundreds of officials were reporting their opinions and Zhao Yun was making judgments one by one, an official from the Ministry of Rites came into the palace to report and said: "Your Majesty, Mu Yanfeng Guan, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, requests an audience."
He hasn't left yet?
Zhao Yun was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that Mu Yan Fengguan was still in Lin'an. He was so embarrassed in the hall last time and couldn't achieve his goal. Could it be that he came to harass him again today?
"Xuan."
Soon, Mu Yanfengguan entered the Chui Gong Hall. This time, his attitude was much more humble and respectful than before.
Mu Yanfengguan saluted Zhao Yun respectfully and said: "Mu Yanfengguan, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, has met His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and wishes His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty peace."
Zhao Yun raised the corners of his mouth and showed a satisfied smile, "Messengers are exempt from courtesy."
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor."
Then Zhao Yun said: "The envoy came into the palace, what was he doing?"
Mu Yanfengguan said: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, the Master of the Kingdom of Jin, admire Han culture and have longed for Han culture for a long time. Your Majesty, the Emperor, is the ruler of the Han dynasty and the patriarch of billions of people of the Han family. My Master,
I have been a close friend of His Majesty the Emperor for a long time, and I just regret not being able to see him again.
Therefore, I beg your Majesty the Emperor to reward me with a portrait of myself, and I will take it back to the Kingdom of Jin and present it to my husband, in order to satisfy my husband's admiration."
Zhao Yun smiled slightly and said, "It's easy."
"No."
As soon as Zhao Yun wanted to agree, he was stopped by Wei Liaoweng, the Minister of War.
Wei Liaoweng was seen glaring at Mu Yan Fengguan angrily and scolding: "You bastard, you thief wants my Majesty's portrait, what are your intentions!"
Wei Liaoweng scolded Mu Yanfengguan like this, which shows that he was very angry.
Immediately, Wei Liaoweng came out and raised his hand to Zhao Yun and said: "Your Majesty, Mu Yanfeng Guan has asked for your Majesty's portrait. It is most likely that he wants to use your Majesty's portrait to practice the art of hating victory in order to achieve the purpose of harming your Majesty. Please also ask your Majesty."
Don’t be fooled.”
Zeng Yinglong, the Minister of Rites, also stood up and said: "Your Majesty, personal portraits are related to the rise and fall of luck. This matter should be decided carefully."
Subsequently, many officials came forward to accuse Mu Yanfengguan of having ulterior motives and asked Zhao Yun to ignore Mu Yanfengguan's request. Some officials even asked Zhao Yun to jail Mu Yanfengguan for punishment.
Seeing this, Zhao Yun raised his hand and lowered his hand to signal all the officials to be silent.
Then Zhao Yun looked around at all the officials and said: "The Kingdom of Jin admires our Han culture and yearns for our Han culture. As the leader of the Celestial Kingdom, how can I make them feel cold? I am also aware of the worries of all the ministers.
, However, I am the true Dragon Emperor, and I have the protection of God, so why should I worry about the evil spirits?"
After speaking, Zhao Yun gave the order: "Pass the painter."
Mu Yanfengguan saw everything in the hall, and was in a state of admiration for Zhao Yun's courage.
At this time, Zhao Yun looked at Mu Yanfengguan and said: "I treat your country with sincerity, and I believe you will not disappoint me. Although there is much hatred between the Song and Jin countries, they will carry forward our Han culture.
When the time comes, I’m still happy to see it come to fruition.”
Mu Yanfeng Guan was sincerely convinced and raised his hand and said: "His Majesty the Emperor has a broad mind that few people in the world can match. I admire him deeply."
Soon, the painter came to Chui Gong Hall, and Zhao Yun ordered him to paint on the spot.
The painter has superb skills and writes like a god. He only took a few serious glances at Zhao Yun and quickly completed the painting.
"Hehehe,,,"
Zhao Yun took one look and laughed with satisfaction, "The painting is good, I will reward you with hundreds of coins."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the gift." The painter excitedly raised his hand to thank him, and then exited the hall.
The painting was carefully rolled up by Gao Shi and then presented to Mu Yan Fengguan.
Mu Yanfengguan received the portrait, raised his hand to thank Zhao Yun, and then left.
Let us say that after Mu Yan Fengguan left the palace, he arranged for his entourage to get up and return to the Kingdom of Jin.
When leaving Lin'an City, Mu Yanfeng Guan raised the curtain on the carriage, looked back at Lin'an City, and sighed: "The emperor of the Song Dynasty was wise and magnanimous. He loved gentlemen and was distant from villains. The reverse trend of Song and Jin Dynasties is irreversible."
Shaking his head and sighing several times, Mu Yanfengguan lowered the curtain in disappointment, with tears already shining in the corners of his eyes, and his heart was full of worries about the future and fate of the Kingdom of Jin.
After returning to Kaifeng, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, Mu Yanfengguan was summoned, entered the palace, came to Da'an Hall, and reported the results of his trip to the Emperor Wanyan Shouxu in front of hundreds of officials.
"Your Majesty Mu Yan Fengguan pays homage to Master Lang."
"The Qing family is exempt from gifts."
"Thank you Sir."
Mu Yanfengguan thanked him and was about to report to him what he had seen and heard during his trip to the Song Dynasty. However, when Mu Yanfengguan raised his head, he saw Wanyan Shouxu sitting on the dragon chair with a beautiful woman in his arms. The two were flirting.
The scolding and affection were so strong that Mu Yanfeng Guan immediately raised his eyebrows and felt a fire in his chest.
The king comes to court, and hundreds of officials report to each other. What a solemn occasion this is.
How can this be so? This is simply ridiculous!
Mu Yanfengguan did not know that shortly after he was sent as an envoy to the Song Dynasty, Cui Li, the Zhongxian captain, offered his sister Cui Qing'er to Wanyan Shouxu in order to please Wanyan Shouxu and win the high-ranking official.
This daughter of Cui Qing'er was truly beautiful and fragrant. When Wanyan Shouxu saw her, she was immediately fascinated and couldn't find the north and south. Cui Qing'er immediately received endless favor. It is said that Wanyan Shouxu did not leave Cui Qing'er's room for seven days in a row.
And Cui Li, relying on his sister's support, was promoted beyond the level and was directly awarded the title of General of the Right Guards. Cui Qing'er herself was also named Qingping Noble Concubine. For a while, the two brothers and sisters were extremely prosperous.
Mu Yanfengguan was not polite and said to Wanyan Shouxu: "Master Lang, this is above the court. Every word and deed of the monarch and his ministers is related to the country, the country, and the thousands of people. How can we allow a woman to show off her beauty and coquettishness again?"
?”
When Cui Li and Cui Qing'er heard this, the two brothers were naturally very angry. Cui Qing'er stretched out her white and slender fingers and cursed Mu Yanfengguan: "You are so brave. I only got permission from the master to be in the main hall."
Your Majesty is accompanying Master Lang to relieve Master Lang's sleepiness. No one in the official family will tell you, but you dare to accuse me here. I think you don't want to live anymore."

After saying that, Cui Qing'er cried coquettishly to Wanyan Shouxu: "Master Lang, this reckless man is bullying others, I don't care, I don't care, you want to kill her to vent my anger."
Although Wanyan Shouxu dotes on Cui Qing'er, he also knows that Mu Yanfengguan is a staunchly loyal minister and the pillar of the Kingdom of Jin. He will kill wherever he can.
So Wanyan Shouxu coaxed him: "My beloved concubine, please calm down. My beloved concubine, calm down your anger. Mu Yanfengguan has an upright temperament. Don't be the same as him. Why don't you go back to the palace first, and I will go find you after the next court."
Cui Qing'er naturally refused, but her brother Cui Li glanced at her and signaled her not to contradict Wanyan Shouxu and return to the dormitory.
Cui Qing'er had no choice but to curse a few times and left Da'an Hall angrily.
