Chapter 1431: The candidate for the envoy, Bian Xi goes to Dali
Just as Zhao Shen was thinking about it, Wang Quan hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, the princess wants some treasures..."
"That's what I agreed to. You can just go to the packaging library and get it!"
Wang Quan nodded and continued, "Master Ye Yong, please see me!"
"Xuan!"
Not long after, Ye Yong entered the main hall under the guidance of a chamberlain!
"Your Majesty, Ye Yong, see you!"
"Ye Qing, no need to be polite! Give me a seat!"
After Ye Yong sat down, he took the initiative and said, "Your Majesty, the war between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty has been over for a while, and both sides have withdrawn their troops! However, both sides must have a charter after all! So, , I believe that we should send envoys to the Kingdom of Jin! One is to reprimand the Kingdom of Jin for breaking the previous contract and sending troops without authorization! The other is that we should draw up a new contract."
"What Ye Qing said is true!"
Zhao Shen nodded slightly, "So, who should be sent as an envoy this time?
Also, what is the purpose of this trip?
It’s better to come to a conclusion first!”
"Your Majesty, this time we have a great victory over the Song Dynasty, the envoys sent should not bring shame on the Celestial Empire! How about using Wei Qi as the chief envoy and Ruan Liang as the deputy envoy?
The two of them are one civilized and one martial, the other relaxed, just right!"
Wei Qi was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Ruan Liang was the Minister of the Ministry of War. Not to mention Wei Qi, Ruan Liang was the one promoted by Ye Yong all the way.
To put it bluntly, this mission to the Kingdom of Jin is a gilded journey, and going there is a achievement! In this way, when the right opportunity comes, it is not impossible for Ruan Liang to further become the Minister of War.
"As for the goal, peace is naturally the main priority! Now that this battle has been settled, the Jin Kingdom should not pursue this matter again! In addition, if there is another unprovoked invasion, it should be severely punished..."
Zhao Shen looked at Ye Yong and raised his eyebrows fiercely! He wanted to say: That's it?
It's not that Zhao Shen wanted to take advantage of Jin Guo. After all, although he won this time, Zhao Shen also knew what was actually going on.
However, if you listen to Ye Yong's words, they are not even rhetoric. Isn't this just a different kind of peace?
Do we still need to promise the Kingdom of Jin some silver coins and the like?
In fact, it’s not Ye Yong’s fault! For those civil servants in the Song Dynasty who wanted peace, it was a lucky thing that the Jin Kingdom could do without money or land.
Braving the bullet and saying a few tough words is already the ultimate!
"Well! This matter is of great importance, and we must be prudent! Ye Qing is thinking about it, and I am also thinking about it, and then we will make a decision!"
Ye Yong was about to speak again, but Zhao Shen waved his hand gently, "Okay, I am tired today, Ye Qing, please leave first!"
Ye Yong had no choice but to bow and leave.
After Ye Yong left, Zhao Shen narrowed his eyes, and then said to the chamberlain on the side, "Go and send the prince to see you!"
Not to mention the purpose of sending the mission to the Kingdom of Jin this time, Zhao Shen was not very satisfied with the two candidates! You Ye Yong has gained face and dignity, so how can you do it?
Just now, Zhao Shen thought of someone! That was the young prince, Ye Heng!
Although this Ye Heng is a little pedantic, he is still loyal to the country! Moreover, the prince will always have a share of his achievements! Furthermore, with the achievements of this mission, this Ye Heng's rank can also be improved. a bit.
As for the other candidate, Zhao Shendao thought Li Duo was a good person.
Originally, this Li Duo was just a little transparent person in Lin'an City! There were so many top ministers in the court, and it was really not surprising that he was a small official who could not even be ranked in the yamen of the Ministry of Rites.
However, he accompanied Shen Tang on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin, once received a Tibetan envoy, and when he went to Dali, this person was also one of the chief officials!
Although it is mainly due to Shen Tang, it at least shows that this person has some talent and should be safe in his work.
With Li Duo and Ye Heng, it's enough!
Time rushed, and soon Shen Tang stayed in Dali for nearly a month! He went out for a trip to the clan, but Shen Tang did not stay too long. He only stayed for one day. After explaining some things, Shen Tang Just return to the peach forest again!
Yesterday, Shen Tang went out for another day.
It’s not his fault, but Bian Xi’s arrival!
Bian Xi was of course overjoyed after receiving the news from Shen Tang! Although he was sworn brother, whether Shen Tang married Wanyan Yue or married Shao Muyu, his brother was almost always a marginal figure.
After all, both wedding banquets were grand in scale, and even the emperor was present.
And this time, he was able to personally host a wedding for Shen Tang as Cousin Shen, so he was naturally extremely happy!
He simply wrote a letter to the court asking for leave, and then brought hundreds of personal guards all the way south! When passing by Xin Qiji's territory, he deliberately took a detour to show off to Xin Qiji. Then I went to Dali in a happy mood!
When passing through southern Xinjiang, the well-informed King Pulle of Wumeng and King Mengsheluo of Qiongdu were also waiting for him with their troops.
They are all acquaintances of Shen Tang, and they had a military friendship at the beginning, so there is no need for them to be polite.
So, the three of them joined together and headed south into Dali!
Last time these guys came and led tens of thousands of troops to sweep across Dali, but this time, although they only brought one or two thousand personal guards, they were also given a very grand welcome.
Afraid of causing an accident, the Jiazong tribe and the head of Shanchan Mansion, Li Shantang, had already sent people to guard the border! When the three of them left southern Xinjiang, they were greeted directly and taken good care of all the way to Shanchan Mansion.
After arriving at Shanchan Mansion, Li Shantang and Murong Cangbai greeted them personally.
Afterwards, Shen Tang received the news that several people were coming, and walked out of the peach forest again, met with everyone, and handed over the matter to Bian Xi, so he felt relieved.
In the days that followed, Bian Xi asked his personal guards to go shopping in Dali! Originally, whether it was the Jiazong tribe, the Shanchan Mansion, or even the royal family, they were constantly transporting all kinds of naps. However, according to Bian Xi's words, this It’s my brother’s wedding, why do you still care about this little money?
Moreover, buying things for the home is what men should do.
So, useful things, useless things, cheap things, valuable things! Whether it was pearls, corals or maids, I bought everything I could buy! As for the money, he brought all his worth when he came. , Xin Qiji also took out a certain amount of money, and asked which of the two barbarian kings was short of money?
As money was poured out, Shen Tang's house gradually became richer, and all kinds of things were almost piled up! Fortunately, the house was big enough, otherwise, it would have been really troublesome.
And with the arrival of Bian Xi, the wedding date was finally agreed upon!
