Gao Yi did not forget his responsibilities. He came out of the political hall and went to the post house again... This time, there was no longer any anxiety or hesitation.
He now feels that he is the one who knows all the plans of the dynasty.
Wu Zong wanted to jump into rage now, but he met Ouyang Xiu.
In the paper, people quoted from classics and quoted from other sources, telling you about it from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the present day, repeatedly emphasizing the importance of fulfilling the contract.
From ordinary people to scholars, from common people to merchants, from women and children to generals, and then to countries, I have no words to refute.
In terms of martial arts, this is in the capital of the Song Dynasty. Nearly a thousand Song Dynasty's policemen, patrols and imperial guardsmen surrounded the post house. Not to mention that they had lost fifty people, they were all here, fighting.
Getting up would only mean getting beaten...
Okay! I'll bear with it now! Let's calculate the general ledger again after I go back.
Wu Zong just looked at the Song people with a sullen face as they played with the corpses of their Daxia warriors.
The remaining Xixia warriors were gnashing their teeth and had to look at them like this... surrounded by soldiers of the Song army, it was inappropriate to do anything.
First, I just messed around with it a few times... There's nothing interesting to see, they were all killed, not poisoned, so that's fine.
Then the patrolmen began to bury them separately... The post house had to be used for the Xixia envoys, and the environment had to be cleaned up. It was so disgusting, there was blood everywhere, and it was impossible to tell whether it belonged to a person or a horse...~Who can tell the difference between this?
No one noticed why Kaifeng Mansion prepared forty-eight coffins...
Gao Yi was still on the way to the post house when he was overtaken by the chamberlain on horseback.
It was said that there was a secret order, but Gao Yi saw one word: drag!
What are you dragging? Gao Yi's forehead was confused and he didn't understand what it meant.
I looked at the gate of the Gao family not far away, and thought about the chaos of the post house...
"Go to Gaofu..."
If you don’t understand it yourself, there must be someone who can.
Most heads of aristocratic families are not the ones with the highest positions.
The Gao family has been a general for seven or eight generations. Speaking of the Gao family, it is even older than the dynasty.
The current head of the family is Gao Zunfu, the prince's father.
"Uncle, that's what happened. Now that the imperial court has ordered my nephew to delay, he really doesn't know what to do."
Gao Yiquan said, from the random request for the companionship of the escort battalion soldiers to the speculation about the entire incident...
"My dear nephew, there is no need to worry. In accordance with the imperial edict, we will try our best to extend the stay of the Western Bandit envoys in Bianliang, even if they use wool crafts as bait. There is only one purpose, which is to prevent him from being allowed to leave for the time being.
go back."
"Eat, drink, have fun, have banquets and have fun, even if you lower your posture, as long as you keep the envoys of the Western Thieves in Bianliang, it will be a great achievement!"
"Bring some money and food from home. The family can bear all expenses. Make sure to get this done!"
In fact, aristocratic families care more about the rise and fall of a country than scholar-bureaucrats.
The reason why aristocratic families are honored as aristocratic families in every dynasty is because their status is awarded by the emperor. In other words, the existence of the empire is the prerequisite for whether they can enjoy this honor.
Scholar-officials are different. Regardless of their knowledge or land, or which family or surname they belong to, it will not change the fact that they own land and knowledge.
Moreover, if the children of aristocratic families want to reach the status of their ancestors, especially for a martial arts family like the Gao family, they must rely on their military exploits.
Gao Yi left, and Gao Zunfu was still thinking about the whole incident...
"Is this going to be a big war?"
Jingxian nephew, there is no need to think about it. In this campaign, His Royal Highness will definitely fight in person, and the escort battalion will accompany him.
Regardless of whether they reach the battle line or not, the final military achievement is indispensable to the escort battalion.
It’s Shilin…
"Shiro, are we really going to fight?"
"Looking at this situation, they should be preparing for a war."
"Silang, how about I ask Huanqing to be transferred to you? Qin Feng can do it too."
This is Gao Zunyu, the third eldest son of the Gao family, who has the highest rank among the ranks of his generation.
"Try it. Take the time to send a message to Tao Niang. It's best for Third Brother to take Shilin to the battlefield with him this time."
Gao Zunfu thought about it and felt that he was not at ease.
"Third brother, accompany me to the Cao Mansion..."
Let's not talk about how these old and cunning people plan, let's talk about Gao Yi.
Dinner and fun? Speaking of Liao Xia envoys coming to Bianliang, they usually came to experience the prosperity of Bianliang. But this time... Gao Yi was not sure whether these old practices still worked.
As for the wool craftsmanship, the imperial court would definitely not let it go. He confirmed from the head of the family that the court was really preparing for a war. Then, the wool craftsmanship was definitely impossible to sell. This was still His Highness the Prince's livelihood.
It is possible to deceive the Xixia barbarians, but how can we first suppress Wu Zong's anger?
Whether it was wool craftsmanship or banquets and outings, there seemed to be no profit in Wu Zong's hands.
Gao Yi didn't believe that Wu Zong only pretended to be Xixia...
But if he really wants to stuff money into Wu Zong's hands, Gao Yi really can't do it. Let's not talk about the hostility between the two countries, let's talk about their current mood... Gao Yi is a scholar-bureaucrat after all, and he still needs face.
In this way, I arrived at the post house in a dilemma.
Ouyang Xiu had already cleaned up the mess in the post house...it had been two days of preparation, and he had considered everything that needed to be considered.
Just waiting for the envoy to come over, how to proceed to the next step? The envoy will receive instructions from the court, and that is no longer a matter for him to know about Kaifeng Mansion.
Ouyang Xiu has a characteristic that he is particularly willing to teach people. In his eyes, even the Xixia envoy can be taught... The main reason is to consider the envoy's grievances.
Therefore, during this period, Ouyang Xiu was just like teaching his disciples. It would be better to say that it was Ouyang Xiu alone who was shouting for nothing.
Mr. Ouyang's great reputation among scholars is not limited to the imperial dynasty, but is also well-known in Liao and Xia.
Today's Daxia court seems to be inclined to imitate the Song Dynasty, so Ouyang Xiu's white shouting should really shock this group of people, especially the Xixia civil servants who are called envoys.
Wu Zong is no exception...
When Gao Yi arrived, Ouyang Xiu stopped his lecture at the right time.
The rest is all a matter for the ambassador.
Gao Yi is here, but he hasn't figured out how to win over Wu Zong and is still confused.
Horse... Gao Yi saw the Xixia people riding horses at this time. Yes!
When a war horse is stabbed and frightened, the horse runs wildly. As a war horse, it is useless, but as a rail car, these war horses are more than enough.
People are dead and horses are useless. If he spends a lot of money to buy these horses at this time... Gao Yi applauds his wit just thinking about it!
The night banquet was held at Fanlou. Gao Yi entertained the Xixia envoys...
Starting from talking about the first batch of scrapped war horses, we continued to drag it out with various excuses until we talked about hundreds of war horses, and half a month had passed.
In this half-month period, the imperial court was constantly mobilizing officials, mobilizing generals, and even dispatching soldiers from various places.
Finally, when Gao Yi was about to continue using the wool craft, Zhengshitang told him that it was okay.
At this time, the imperial court was finally prepared to the point where all the princes felt that everything was safe.
