Although the main purpose of Li Qi's trip was to target Shule, before leaving, Zhao Kai told him that if he had the chance, he would also solve the problem of Dongnu Kingdom.[23[w]x
Nowadays, all the Tubo tribes of this generation have surrendered to the Song Dynasty, leaving only the Dongnv Kingdom without movement. The main reason why the Song Dynasty has not taken action against the Dongnv Kingdom is because of the issue of the status of men and women.
Because both Zhao Kai and Li Qi knew that in fact, it would be a bit petty to use knives and guns to deal with Dongnu Kingdom, and there was no need for it. As long as this one problem was solved, the rest would not be a problem.
For this mission, Li Qi was the most suitable person in the entire Song Dynasty.
Therefore, after Li Qi solved the Shule problem, he immediately sent people to the Dongnu Kingdom to inform their king that the Privy Envoy of the Song Dynasty would be sent to their Dongnu Kingdom in the near future, and the translator responsible for this aspect had already arrived in the Dongnu Kingdom.
The female country is waiting for Li Qi's arrival.
It's just that Li Qi wanted to go on patrol incognito to see what was going on in Dongnu Country, so he didn't notify the translator in advance. It was impossible for him to go on a mission to Dongnu Country without even bringing an translator.
When Li Qi came to the palace gate and handed the token to the guard in front of the door, within a short while, the translator who arrived first hurriedly walked out, saluted Li Qi, and then went to the highest level with the two female officials from the East Lady Kingdom.
Go to the floor.
Along the way, Li Qi saw that the guards were all female guards. He curiously asked the translator: "Are all the troops in the Eastern Women's Kingdom composed of women?"
The translator’s name was Chahe. He was originally a Tibetan and had surrendered to the Song Dynasty during the Hehuang War. He hurriedly said: “To the Privy Envoy, all the troops in the Eastern Women’s Kingdom are men, but the guards of this palace are women.
.”
Li Qi asked again: "Have you met their queen?"
Chahe shook his head and said: "I just handed over the letter and I have never met their queen." He said with a depressed look on his face: "The Privy Councilor doesn't know something. The status of men here is quite humble. Most men still see them."
Not the queen."
Li Qi snorted and said, "Then haven't you suffered a lot of grievances in the past few days?"
Chahe said: "I dare not hide it from the secret envoy. I can't even talk about my grievances, but I still feel uncomfortable all over."
"Yeah?"
Li Qi glanced at the two female officials leading the way. They were all arrogant and did not take them seriously. But he knew that it was not them that they looked down on, but the men. He thought to himself, hum. You are so arrogant in front of me.
I will make you look good later. I patted Cha He on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, I will say this for you later."
When they arrived at the palace gate, Li Qi and the others walked in after the female officer went to report. Of course, sloppy people like drunkards were naturally excluded. In fact, even Li Qi was embarrassed to bring drunkards to see the queen.
.This is too embarrassing for Song Dynasty.
Originally, the guards even wanted to block Ma Qiao from the door, but Li Qi ignored them and strode in directly with Ma Qiao, Yelu Guxu, Cha and the other three.
When the female guards saw it, they had no choice but to give up.
The main hall of the Song Dynasty Palace is the main hall, the imperial study is the imperial study, and the sleeping palace is the sleeping palace. They are all separated, and there is no way. The land is large and can be arbitrary.
But the palace of Dongnu Kingdom is not like this. The large houses located around it are the various departments of Dongnu Kingdom. The first floor of this building is the main hall, and the other floors are the queen's study room, dining room, bedroom, etc.
wait.
This floor rises like a pyramid. The first floor is the largest, and the area gradually decreases as it goes up. Maybe they can't build such a tall rectangular building, so the construction can be more stable.
Li Qi entered the first floor. It was very spacious. There was a green-brown blanket in the middle. On both sides of the blanket were ministers. There were about thirty people, all of whom were women. Without exception, the youngest was only in his twenties, and the oldest was already
White hair.
And sitting on the steps is a vigorous queen, wearing a green fur skirt, a flat-collared shirt, and the sleeves are long dragging to the ground. Her temples are tied into a small bun with patterned brocade, and the green hair falls straight down from behind.
, her ears are decorated with earrings, and her feet are wearing white boots.
When Li Qi saw the queen, he couldn't help but be shocked, "Zhuo——Zhuo——Dolma?"
Yelu Guyu and Ma Qiao were also shocked.
This was the woman they had just met Dolma.
As soon as Li Qi finished speaking, an old woman on the left stood up with a cane and scolded Li Qi sternly.
Chahe hurriedly said: "Sir, this old woman is the tycoon of Dongnu Kingdom."
"Gao Ba?"
Li Qi took a deep breath and said, "What do you mean?"
"It's similar to the prime minister of my Song Dynasty."
"This official name is much more domineering than our prime minister." Li Qi asked again: "What did she say?"
Chahe said: "She is blaming us for calling their king by his name."
Li Qi was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said to the queen: "Dolma, you really deceived me!"
Ma Qiao hummed: "This kind of woman can be a king."
When the old woman saw Li Qi, she ignored her and began to scream.
I saw four guards suddenly walking out from behind.
Li Qi asked curiously: "What's going on?"
Chahe said sarcastically: "It probably means that you are rude to our queen."
"Probably? What about the details?"
"Well...."
"I understand, her mother is scolding me." Li Qi said: "Tell this old woman to shut up for me. She is making a lot of noise. Otherwise, I will bulldoze this place."
"ah?"
Cha He looked at Li Qi in horror.
Li Qi frowned and said, "What are you talking about? Tell me quickly."
"yes."
Cha He was sweating profusely. This is someone else's territory. You don't mean to make things uncomfortable by saying this, but there is no other way. Li Qi is the privy envoy, so he can only tell the old woman to Li Qi.
Strange meaning.
As soon as he finished speaking, he watched the old woman's face turn from red to white, then from white to green, and her body was shaking.
You're not going to be angry. Li Qi looked at the old woman nervously, fearing that she would fall down like this.
Fortunately, the old woman was strong enough and resisted. Just as she was about to speak, the queen on the steps suddenly raised her hand, waved her hand again, and asked the guards to retreat, and then said to Li Qi in fluent Chinese.
: "Your Excellency is the world-famous Golden Knife Chef King."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Li Qigong cupped his hands and said: "But at this time I am the Privy Envoy of the Song Dynasty. Although I didn't tell you the truth just now, you also hid it from me. We are even."
The Queen frowned and said, "When have we met?"
"Just now?"
"I'm afraid the Privy Council has mistakenly admitted the wrong person. I have been here all this time and have never left."
"ah?"
Li Qi looked at the king carefully and thought to himself, yes, the queen seems to be plumper. That's impossible. They look so similar, and they still have the same name. This is incredible. Could it be that we have met a ghost.
Yelu Guyu also discovered that although the queen was similar to the Dolma just now, there were also some differences. Judging from the expressions, they were completely different. The Dolma just now seemed more lively and enthusiastic, with an extremely bright smile. Just like the one in the west.
In the sunset, the queen was as cold as ice, like the white snow on the mountain that never melts. She whispered: "Husband, maybe we really recognized the wrong person."
"Yeah. I can see it too."
Li Qi said awkwardly: "Also--maybe I recognized the wrong person. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry."
"Since it's a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly."
The queen did not argue with Li Qi. She said: "The Privy Council of the Song Dynasty came all the way to visit our country of Eastern Women. I don't know---"
Before she finished speaking, Li Qi raised his hand and said, "Is this how you plan to talk to me?"
The queen was stunned and looked at Li Qi in astonishment.
Li Qidao: "You sit on the steps and I stand at the bottom? Is this the status of our Song Dynasty in your hearts? In that case, I will really feel very disappointed."
The queen frowned slightly, stared at Li Qi for a moment, and then said: "Give me a seat."
Li Qi added: "Either I sit on it, or you stand down."
After listening to the translation, the female bosses on the side pointed at Li Qi and started chattering.
This time Li Qi didn't even need a translator, he knew what they were talking about.
The queen stood up suddenly and shouted in a cold voice: "Privy Council, please respect yourself. Although we women have a humble status in your Song Dynasty, this is not the Song Dynasty."
Li Qi smiled disdainfully and said: "I'm really sorry. Although I have guests in the Song Dynasty, I can just say it. If I am here to visit as a private person, it doesn't matter where I sit. But the problem is that I am representing the Song Dynasty.
Coming from the Song Dynasty represents the dignity of a country. Your Dongnu country is just a small tribe, and I, the Song Dynasty, are a big country in the Central Plains. In terms of status and identity, I am much higher than you. I will treat you
Being on the same level as me is enough to give you face, so don't take yourself too seriously."
This is not because Li Qi is fussy and fussy, but because of the diplomatic dignity of a country. This is a big or small matter. The status of an envoy is judged based on the strength of the country, and he is the Privy Envoy of the Song Dynasty.
Everyone knows that the status of a rank one is much higher than that of ordinary envoys.
Of course, if the opposite party is the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, that has to be discussed separately, because Zhao Kai has to call Wanyan Sheng a sworn brother, and Li Qi can only be treated like the ministers of the Jin Kingdom. After all, both countries are big countries.
Evenly matched.
But except for the Kingdom of Jin, even if it was Korea, Japan, and the small countries in the south, when Li Qi went, the emperor had to go out in person to greet him and entertain him.
To put it bluntly, your Dongnu country is nothing. It is just a small political power. It is as big as a slap and can kill you with one slap.
Just now, Li Qi was a little unhappy when he saw that the queen did not greet her in person. Now she is still treating him like this. He does not open her mouth and does not even give her a chair. This is clearly trampling on the dignity of the great country in the Central Plains. Personal face does not matter, but the country
With dignity, Li Qi will not give in even a step. No matter how cumbersome the etiquette is, I can dispense with it, but you cannot skip it.
In fact, Li Qi is quite a gentleman. If Wanyan Zonghan comes, he will come directly with his troops.
Queen?
Tomorrow she will be Wanyan Zonghan's concubine.
However, Li Qi's words aroused the dissatisfaction of the female ministers on both sides. They all became furious and started shouting.
This is the bad thing about this woman in power. When we get into a fight, she acts like a shrew, which makes me not even in the mood to reply. Li Qi shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and left.
Yelu Guyu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and followed him.
As Li Qi walked away, he smiled and said: "Madam, I heard from Yelu Dashi that you are very good at fighting, but it's a pity that I have never seen you. Otherwise, I will leave this place to you, lest outsiders say that our Song Dynasty bullies women."
Yelu Guyu said excitedly: "Seriously?"
She is a very advocating force, is she of Khitan origin, and she dares to fight against the Jin army, so how can she take this Eastern Women's Kingdom seriously.
Li Qi said hey: "Of course - it's fake. How could I let you take the risk? It's okay for you to go to the back and give some instructions."
Yelu Gu rolled his eyes at him with a look of shyness on his face.
Cha He, who was following behind, secretly smacked his tongue. The privy envoy must not have understood the situation. We are in someone else's territory. If something goes wrong, we will have to explain everything here.
Suddenly hearing a sharp shout, the four female guards in front of the door immediately drew their swords and targeted Li Qi.
Ma Qiao remained calm, but two daggers flashed out of his sleeves. Just outside the door, Yelv Guxu's long sword had been taken away, but Ma Qiao's two daggers were still hidden in his sleeves.
Yelu Guyu whispered to Maqiao: "Maqiao, capture the thief first and capture the king first. I will protect your husband."
Ma Qiao nodded.
Is there any need to go to such trouble? Li Qi turned around, looked directly at the queen with a smile, and said: "I don't know how much you plan to spend to keep us. I have no other intention. I'm just afraid that the price won't be yours."
Can afford it.”
