Chapter five hundred and ninety seventh goodbye golden envoy to Bianliang
In the early morning, Yang Lin woke up and found Yang Tianai sitting beside the bed, with his head on his chest, sleeping soundly.
Yang Lin suddenly woke up, touched his body, still wearing close-fitting clothes, and breathed a sigh of relief.
My shoes and socks have been taken off, and I am still covered with a small quilt, which is barely enough to cover my calves.
It's the New Year now, and the weather in the north is still relatively cold. Yang Lin touched it lightly, and the girl next to him felt a little cold on her hand.
His fingers moved quickly, but he didn't wake up. Yang Lin couldn't help but smile.
He stood up gently, carried the sleeping girl to the bed, covered her with a quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt, put on his clothes, shoes and socks, opened the door and walked out.
The sunshine in the early spring morning was very dazzling. Several maids in the courtyard were cleaning fallen leaves. They watched in astonishment as their husband came out of the young lady's room.
Yang Lin's face turned red, and he looked like a great man behind his back. He coughed lightly and said, "Ai'er is a bit cold. I'll come over early in the morning to take a look. You can call a doctor to take a look later."
He deliberately raised his voice so that Yang Tianai inside could hear it, so that he would not be exposed.
In the ambiguous eyes of several maids, Yang Lin came to the front yard. Li Yunniang came in with two maids, carrying hot water and soap towels, and rolled her eyes at him angrily.
While washing Yang Lin's face and wiping her temples, Yun Niang complained: "Da Lang, don't blame me for being too talkative. You were the one who watched her grow up that day. If this spreads out, how will she find her husband's family in the future?"
Yang Lin pinched her waist and cursed with a smile: "I was drunk last night and didn't do anything. Where did you think I was? Am I that kind of person?"
"Hmph...that Li Feng wears Lingbao's clothes every day, who knows who did this dirty thing."
"I've betrayed you." Yang Lin said with a smile: "Whore, are you going to ride on my head?" As he said that, he accurately pinched a penis with his hand, pulled it and twisted it.
Li Yunniang cried out in pain repeatedly, but she refused to give in. She said with red eyes: "It's the master's business whether he listens or not, and it's the servant's business whether he dissuades or not. Anyway, Yunniang's status is low. It's up to her to beat or punish her how she wants.
That’s Da Lang.”
When Yang Lin saw the mist in her eyes, he quickly pulled her on his lap, held her in his arms, and said softly: "Listen, why don't you listen? Why don't I know you are doing it for my own good? What about Li Feng?"
I will never go there again. But last night, I was really drunk and unconscious."
Seeing that he cared so much about her, Yun Niang felt soft in her heart. She stopped being angry and got up and continued to help him wash and change clothes.
During the Shangyuan Festival in the third year of Xuanhe, the imperial court granted officials a three-day break. Fireworks could be set off in the city, but they could not help but shut them down.
The vassal states of the Song Dynasty also sent envoys to Beijing to congratulate the sovereign state on the New Year's Day.
At this time in the past, Song and Liao would also send envoys to each other, but they were in the name of brotherly countries.
Outside Bianliang City, a special group of envoys were ushered in. These people led tall horses, wore thick leather armor, and had pigtails on both sides.
The financier Wanyan Aguda sent envoys to Tokyo. This was the fourth time that envoys were exchanged between the Song and Jin Dynasties.
The Song and Jin Dynasties fought a major battle respectively in Youyan and Yunnei. To this day, there are constant frictions inside and outside the Great Wall, and small battles often break out.
However, there are constant messengers between the two countries, which means that they have not yet broken their ties.
The officials of Honglu Temple who were waiting to welcome them on the outskirts of the city also arrived early in the morning. They treated the Jin envoys with caution, unlike other foreign countries. Both sides were cautious.
The Song and Jin Dynasties all had their own plans, and it would take some time for the country to stabilize and develop itself.
Standing at the cross street of Bianliang City, the Jin Dynasty envoy stopped and marveled at the prosperity of this place.
I thought that Huining Mansion was an extremely prosperous place, but when I arrived in the Song Dynasty, I realized that there was such a city in the world.
Even though it is cold in spring, the streets are still crowded with people and the various shops on both sides are still busy.
Pedestrians on the road were wearing fine fabrics, and there were quite a few pretty girls passing by, with fair skin and charming smiles.
Those several-storey restaurants with tiled roofs, the aroma of wine from upstairs, accompanied by laughter like silver bells, and the sound of musical instruments mixed together, add to the atmosphere of countless wealth.
At this time in the north, a group of Jurchen nobles, although they were resistant to the cold, could only huddle in their own tents, and the family gathered around the bonfire to keep warm.
In the distance, officials from the Song Dynasty had already come over and led them into Honglu Temple according to the old etiquette of receiving Liao people.
The officer of Honglu Temple did not want to be with these stinking barbarians for a quarter of an hour, and said: "It is exactly noon now. Food and wine have been prepared in the government office, and someone will be sent to bring them to you shortly."
The interpreter of the Jin Dynasty mission replied: "Thank you."
The envoy from the Kingdom of Jin was led by Wanyan Balisu, who was not tall and very strong.
After entering the room arranged by the Song people, Wanyan quickly took off his thick leather official uniform and sat down on a chair.
Several soldiers poured him a bowl of hot water, and Ba Lisu held his knees and said: "I didn't expect that the Song Dynasty had such a good place. In Huining Mansion, I often heard Zong Han talk about the prosperity of the Southern Dynasty. At that time,
I just thought he was just blowing it to get the old emperor to attack the Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect it to be true."
The deputy envoy, Ma Da, was demoted from the Liao Dynasty. Because he was proficient in Chinese, as the deputy envoy this time, he came with Ba Lisu.
After hearing this, Mada bowed her waist and said with a smile: "Don't worry, little prince, one day soon, when our cavalry from Daikin arrive here, they won't all be used by the general."
Wanyan Bali was overjoyed after hearing this, and he didn't care much about Mada's feelings. He smiled and said: "This is absolutely correct. The big cities and mansions that you Liao people occupied back then, and now those noble ladies are not here with me.
We, the daughter-in-law, will serve you at your son's house."
Mada's face remained as usual, with no trace of sullenness visible, and her smile made her even more flattering.
At this time, there was a burst of laughter from outside, and Wanyan Bali asked at the top of his voice, "Who is here?"
A soldier came in, clasping his fists and saying: "General, he is the Korean envoy next door, and he is drinking with the Song people."
"Why is it that the Korean envoys are accompanied by people from Song Dynasty drinking wine, while we here only have to eat by ourselves?"
Goryeo and the Jurchen bordered on each other. In the past, the Jurchen could no longer survive, so they would plunder Goryeo all the year round to survive the cold winter.
There is a deep hatred between them, especially now that the Jurchens have annexed Daliao, and they are always thinking about annexing this relatively wealthy small country.
Now they are fighting fiercely with the Song Dynasty, and they regard themselves as vassals of the Song Dynasty. It will be troublesome for them to go to war in the future.
From Goryeo, you can directly reach the home base of the Jin Kingdom, where there are Bohai people and advanced smelting weapons workshops.
Mada smiled and said: "The general doesn't know something. The Korean envoys are used to bribing the officials of the Song Dynasty here, so they have a good relationship with each other."
Ba Lisu rolled his eyes, sneered twice, and said, "Come in and eat!"
