Chapter 734: The Ministry of Rites meets, Li Duo reprimands
Chapter 734: Meeting with the Ministry of Rites, Li Duo scolded
The Ministry of Rites paid more attention to the reception of the Tibetan envoys this time. Liu Heyu, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, personally came forward, followed by Wang Jiayu, the minister, and there were also doctors, Yuanwailang, principals, translators, etc., there were more than ten people!
Since there is no need to enter the palace to meet the emperor, the meeting place is at the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites!
The six ministries have a mixed staff and there are many officials. Except for a few such as ministers and ministers who need to go to court, the rest of the staff basically work in the Yamen!
Zheng Qiannan personally led people to send Lu Dongzan and his party outside the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites!
"Prime Minister, I hope you can achieve results by talking to the adults of the Ministry of Rites. I will lead my people to wait here..."
"Thank you, Brother Zheng!"
Lu Dongzan said gratefully, and then followed the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette who came to enter the yamen!
The Yamen of the Ministry of Rites is a courtyard with three entrances from the front and back. After passing through the back-seat room, there are officials on duty on both sides. However, Lu Dongzan and others were cautious and only looked at it briefly, then followed the clerk's lead through the long
The long corridor passed through the flower hall on the first floor and came to the second courtyard.
The layout is basically similar to the first courtyard, except that at the end of the corridor is the lobby of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites!
Although the etiquette department does not need to go to the hall like an ordinary yamen, the hall is quite spacious!
Behind the main seat in the middle is a picture of the rising sun, which represents justice, integrity, and selflessness! If it is a government office such as the Ministry of Justice, it will be a picture of a unicorn across the sea, symbolizing majesty, strength, and so on.
Liu Heyu was dressed in a vermilion official uniform and a winged hat, and his face was full of elegance! In the row of seats to his left, Wang Jiayu and other officials from the Ministry of Etiquette were sitting in sequence!
"Haha! In my etiquette department, I rarely sit in my yamen and wait for foreign guests to come to my door!"
Wang Jiayu said with a slight smile.
Wang Jiayu took the position, and a doctor said loudly, "The reason for this is that Mr. Shen Tang defeated the main force of the 180,000 Tibetan army in Chengdu. Otherwise, how could these barbarians treat us with their arrogance?
So respectful, even resigned.”
If Shen Tang were here, he would definitely recognize that this doctor is none other than Li Duo, his old partner when he was sent to the Kingdom of Jin!
Originally, Li Duo was just an ordinary sixth-rank official. However, because of his meritorious service during his last mission to the Kingdom of Jin, Zhao Shen specially promoted him to the rank of doctor of the Ministry of Rites! Going from the sixth rank to the fifth rank is not only a leap in rank.
, and more importantly, he is now a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, second only to the Minister and the two ministers. In the future, if there is another opportunity, it will not be unusual for him to become an important minister above the court.
It can be said that his mission to the Kingdom of Jin completely changed Li Duo's original destiny.
After all, it is impossible for a person like him with no background or background to break into a house according to his original trajectory.
After he went on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin and his party, Li Duo admired Shen Tang greatly! He knew very well that the success of the mission to the Kingdom of Jin was entirely due to Shen Tang's efforts, and they were able to take the credit.
I also rely on Shen Tang.
Therefore, he has always been grateful to Shen Tang in his heart.
This time Shen Tang's Chengdu Prefecture defeated Tubo. Li Duo was even more happy for Shen Tang and admired Shen Tang even more.
In his opinion, the Song Dynasty was weak because of the lack of people like Shen Tang! If Shen Tang could take over the court, it might be able to change the current weakness of the Song Dynasty in the future.
After Li Duo finished speaking, some of the officials from the Ministry of Etiquette present chuckled and nodded, while others had their eyes flickering and said nothing! As the same saying goes, the victory of Chengdu Prefecture lies in Shen Tang and the court, but this court,
It's not for everyone, so not everyone wants to see this victory.
Although it sounds strange, it is true.
"I have met my lords, the Tibetan envoy has arrived!"
"Comrades, let's get up and greet him!"
Liu Heyu said with a smile.
Others also stood up quickly, "That's exactly what it should be!"
Afterwards, under the leadership of Liu Heyu, everyone walked out of the main hall, while Lu Dongzan and others were waiting in the courtyard!
"You Tibetan envoys have worked hard all the way. I, the Minister of Rites, Liu Heyu, have been ordered by the officials to welcome you!"
Liu Heyu bowed slightly and spoke slowly.
Lu Dongzan twitched the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but curse in his heart. Hadn't he done something? Otherwise, he had been waiting for the others for almost ten days, and he had been left in the post house without any attention.
"The Prime Minister of Tubo, Lu Dongzan, has met all of you!"
After greeting each other, Liu Heyu and others led a group of Tibetan envoys into the main hall!
Everyone sat down, with the officials of the Song Dynasty still on the left and the envoys of Tibet on the right!
Zuo has always been the supreme leader, and the Tubo people certainly know this. If it were in the past, they would definitely have a dispute with everyone in the Song Dynasty. However, the defeat on the battlefield made them really lack some courage, so they could only hold back.
anger.
"You Tibetan envoys have traveled thousands of miles, so why do you want to see the officials?"
Liu Heyu said with a smile.
When it comes to tactics on the battlefield, officials like these from the Song Dynasty are naturally inferior, but when it comes to pretentiousness, how can these straightforward barbarians compare?
Even though the Prime Minister of Tubo is said to be responsible for the wisdom of Tubo, there is a world of difference in this regard!
"The first reason why I came here is to pay homage to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty! The second reason is for the affairs of the Chengdu Mansion! A few months ago, Zanpu was deceived by a traitor, so he accidentally sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty. In fact,
What a huge mistake! Tubo and the Song Dynasty have always been friendly neighbors, and there is little friction on the border between the two countries, so naturally this war should not continue.
Fortunately, I had already heard the truth before I came here. I, the commander of the Tubo troops, had realized his mistake and took the initiative to surrender to the Song Dynasty.
Did not cause more harm to the Song Dynasty, so I want to take these people back and hand them over to Zanpu for severe punishment. Furthermore, I have brought many gifts to His Majesty the Emperor of your country. I ask His Majesty the Emperor of your country to forgive me for my unintentional Tubo attacks.
wrong!"
Diplomacy between countries is not something noble, on the contrary, it is even more shameless and dirty!
Telling lies with your eyes open, turning black into white, for your own benefit, this is just the most basic skill!
"You are so impudent!"
Before the others could say anything, Li Duo couldn't bear the shamelessness of the Tubo people, and immediately stood up and reprimanded, "You Tubo invaded the Song Dynasty without any reason, causing millions of people to suffer. You robbed our Song Dynasty of grain and rice, and made us countless money.
Song Tianbing suffered tens of thousands of casualties and defeated all your troops and suppressed them! Now, you made an innocent mistake just to expose this matter. Prime Minister of Tubo, do you regard me as a Song Dynasty person?
