Chapter 627 Dongguan is young and willing to be a pioneer (1st update)
There was an empty red zone between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. Otherwise, the envoy passed through the Ansu Army in the border town of the Song Dynasty and then arrived at Rongcheng of the Liao Kingdom.
The Liao Kingdom, which had already received the messenger from the Song Dynasty, also sent a Wei official to wait in Na Rongcheng early.
An old acquaintance, Yelu Hongguang, formerly of the National Information Office of the Daliao Kingdom, has now become the minister of the Ministry of Rites, according to the decree of the Southern Privy Council.
After asking around, I found out that the Emperor of Liao who loved the moonlight was neither in Nanjing nor near the other four capitals.
As for the hunting in the Changchun Prefecture of the Liao Kingdom, since the birthday congratulations delegation came to celebrate birthdays, they had to stay in Changchun Prefecture.
To the east of Bu Naoyan, it is the rainy season, and the road is muddy and difficult to navigate. It may take two to three thousand miles to go directly from Rongcheng to Changchun Prefecture.
When they heard the news, everyone from Zheng Juzhong to Wolong Fengchu in the east cursed in their hearts.
Only Gao Zhang was secretly happy to be with Yao Pingzhong, and Liu Qi was secretly happy and praised him repeatedly for his kindness.
After all, those three guys originally went to the Liao Kingdom not only to see the customs and customs of the Liao Kingdom, but also to seek an opportunity to take a look at the female tribe.
As for the Changchun Prefecture area, most of them are women's straight tribes, so going there is a worthwhile trip.
At the reception banquet, everyone was in a low mood. After the guests and hosts had a good time, Gao Taoqi sent Na Yelu Hongguang out of the post house as an old acquaintance.
"...In fact, Privy Council Xiao originally wanted to persuade the emperor to come to Nanjing, but his master felt that such a confinement period was suitable for a hunting trip in Changchun Prefecture."
"It's understandable. Brother Xiao must have had a hard time in those years."
Gao Zhang patted Yelu Hongguang's old acquaintance on the shoulder, empathizing with him.
Anyone who has a pig teammate with him can understand the feeling of being unable to carry him.
"Actually, I also really want to meet Brother Xiao in advance. After all, apart from official duties, I have a lot to talk about. I want to have a good chat with his brother with a different surname."
"No, Privy Xiao and Duke Zhuangyuan are in love with each other. It's a pity that you made the mistake of not being able to greet each other personally. In addition, Privy Xiao has reminded Dongguan many times."
"If Duke Yuan of Jin has any needs, he orders Dongguan to try his best to satisfy them."
Hearing this, Gao Zhang couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. After receiving the confinement from the east, the envoy escorted the gifts and wandered all the way. He was afraid that he would not be able to reach Changchun in a month or two.
If we encounter a flood again or cut off roads or something, we might not even be able to make it to the birthday of the Emperor of Liao Kingdom. That would be too funny, right?
There is nothing to do here to celebrate my birthday, so why not wait until next year?
What's more, letting yourself continue to move forward so slowly with the big team is simply a waste of your youth and life.
It would be better to take a stroll in advance and rush to Changchun Prefecture to establish a good relationship with Xiao Fengxian, whom he has not seen for many years, and deepen their friendship.
"In this case, Mr. Gao would like to leave the mission early and go to Changchun Prefecture first. I wonder, brother Hongguang, if you can be accommodating?"
Yelu Hongguang thought of Xiao Fengxian's explanation before, and Dangdong nodded without hesitation.
"It's easy to do. After all, Duke Zhuangyuan, are you the deputy envoy? It doesn't matter if you stand in front of the envoy first."
"When the time comes, Dongguan will send some people as a guide to lead Duke Zhuangyuan straight to Changchun Prefecture."
"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Brother Hongguang."
"What did Duke Yuan say indicate that he has a bright future and that he has the support of your brother with a different surname, Duke Zhuangyuan?"
I very much ask Duke Zhuangyuan to say a few kind words to the Eastern official when he comes to Changchun Prefecture and meets Privy Privy Envoy Xiao..."
Gao Taoran would not refuse, and he waited until Yelu Hongguang left the post house before Gao Zhangna turned around and walked towards the depths of the post house.
After a short meeting, I saw the sighing envoy Zheng Juzhong.
"Gao Hanlin, please leave quickly. I originally thought it was a good job, but now I know it is not a hard job at all..."
"Alas, it's a long way to Changchun Prefecture. The emperor of the Liao Kingdom did not go to the capital to control the capital, but spent the whole month playing and hunting for fun. He is really not a wise king."
Gao Zhang nodded in agreement.
"Mr. Zheng, our envoys will travel slowly. From here to Changchun Prefecture, it will take more than a month."
"However, Yelu Hongguang said that if it is the rainy season, no one can guarantee whether the journey will be delayed. If something happens, it will delay our entry into Liao to celebrate the birthday of the emperor of Liao."
"Then not only do we not have merit, but we have faults."
As soon as he heard about it, Zheng Juzhong's face couldn't help but look a little uglier.
The deputy envoy Xiao Gao Zhuangyuan in front of me has won the trust of the officials. Whether the favor can come from himself.
During this mission, the officials summoned him alone for a direct showdown. The young Gao Hanlin would definitely join the Privy Council after returning from his mission.
Even if I am not doing my job properly, if I have failed to do so, the family may mistakenly think that I deliberately delayed it and missed the birthday celebration.
If you want to travel under the stars and at night, haha, with my old arms and legs, I don’t want to be knocked to death halfway.
Although merit is very important, life is even more important.
"Xiao Gao Hanlin, am I the leader of the envoy to the Liao Kingdom to celebrate his birthday? I also know that I have always been resourceful. What should I do if I come to the east?"
#####
Facing him was Zheng Juzhong, the envoy who looked like he didn't want to take responsibility at all.
Gao Zhang rolled his eyes and saluted Zheng Juzhong.
"Do you have an idea, Dongguan? I would like to discuss it with Mr. Zheng."
"Why don't we divide our envoys into two groups, one with a light carriage and a simple carriage, instead of riding in a car, just ride on horseback, and travel all the way under the stars and night, straight to Changchun Prefecture.
In this way, we will definitely be able to reach Changchun Prefecture in one month at most."
"As for the other route, the carriages and horses will continue to run parallel to each other according to the original plan. At that time, even if the carriages and carriages are delayed due to the inconvenient transportation in Liao, we still have something to say..."
As soon as these words came out, Zheng Juzhong's eyes immediately lit up. Oh, he really deserves to be the prodigy champion favored by the officials.
That idea is really good, so I hope that the birthday greeting certificate will be delivered to the emperor of Liao Kingdom in time.
Even if the gift and birthday greeting team were delayed, it was still considered a minor flaw.
Although that idea was a good one, Zheng Juzhong's expression quickly turned gloomy.
He had just thought about whether his arms and legs would be broken if the envoy team paid the penalty faster. He was afraid of falling apart.
Now Xiao Gao Hanlin is even more ruthless and rushes directly into Changchun Prefecture, haha...
"Xiao Gao Hanlin, since this suggestion was not made by me, why not ask Xiao Gao Hanlin to be the pioneer?"
"After all, I'm already old. Is it true that I can't stand the pain of traveling on a moonlit night?"
Seeing the embarrassment on Zheng Juzhong's face, Gao Zhang said without hesitation.
"Is the old man an official envoy? He is responsible for enforcing the mission. Dongguan is young and is willing to be a pioneer..."
