When Wu Zhizhong's envoy's guard of honor had just left Jingdong Road, the Xiongzhou incident had changed. However, no new instructions came from the court. He had no choice but to continue heading north.
The troops in Northern Liao were mobilized, and it seemed that a war was about to break out. There was some discussion among the honor guards, and the deputy envoy even asked the court whether to continue the mission...
Wu Zhizhong ignored it.
He and Lu Huiqing are brothers-in-law, but his promotion in Wu Zhizhong has nothing to do with Mr. Lu Ge.
As far as he knew, this mission was not proposed by Mr. Lu Ge.
It doesn't matter. From Wu Zhizhong's point of view, he only needs to do his job as an envoy, and everything else doesn't matter.
The more troubled the situation is, the easier it is to achieve success by sending envoys.
Although Wu Zhizhong could not understand Lu Huiqing's behavior, he had to admit that he knew the court's true intention from Lu Huiqing's mouth, which also made his mission well-targeted.
Besides, given the current strength of the country, there is really no need to be afraid of the Northern Liao...
"Your Majesty, I'm leaving the country. Do you have any arrangements?"
The envoys are all assisted by military generals. The generals who are on this mission are former soldiers of the old guard camp. I heard that they are now fifth-level commanders.
"General Luo, I don't understand military affairs. What should I do? It's up to General Luo to make arrangements for himself."
Wu Zhizhong is upright, not stupid. When faced with military generals who can directly reach the official family, Wu Zhizhong still knows how to get along with him.
Not to mention that they did everything decently along the way, but even if the officials clearly understood the responsibilities of civil and military officials, Wu Zhizhong would not point fingers at the military.
For a mission, the merits and demerits are all integrated, and the most effective way is to perform their respective duties.
Late autumn and early winter are indeed not a good time to go north. However, the emperor of Northern Liao was on the Zhongjing Road at this time and had not yet left to go north, so the journey was not too far.
Most of the envoys sent to the imperial court met with the Northern Liao emperor in the Zhongjing Road area.
The mission left the country from Hejian Prefecture, and there were no cavalry everywhere as rumored by the imperial court. What happened at the Chen Bing border in Northern Liao was probably caused by the cavalry roaring in the Xiongzhou area.
This is in line with the speculation of the court... The so-called Chen Bing of the Northern Liao Dynasty simply wanted to cause chaos in the Hebei Province of the country and take the opportunity to cover up the purpose of the craftsmen fleeing north.
Thinking about it this way, the purpose of this mission should be achieved...
"The official envoy, the King of Wei in the Northern Liao Dynasty, the Privy Envoy of the Beiyuan, Yelu Yixin who stayed in Zhongjing sent people to send the envoy to Youdu Mansion..."
Although it was very cold, there was a stove under the carriage, which made Wu Zhizhong a little confused. Suddenly, an order from outside the carriage reported this.
"Ignore it! I was on an envoy to the Liao Dynasty, and the person I met was the emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Who is Yelu Yixin? Continue to follow the route north and wait for the Liao Kingdom to pick up the envoy..."
Of course Wu Zhizhong knew who Yelu Yixin was, but he really didn't have a good impression of people like Yelu Yixin.
The powerful ministers of the Northern Liao Dynasty were the main culprits for causing trouble and causing the Queen to be killed and the crown prince deposed in the Northern Liao Dynasty. From the perspective of the dynasty, it seems that we should be grateful to Yelu Yixin.
Tang didn't have a good impression of Beiliao, a powerful official.
Want him to go back to Youdu Mansion? Who does he think he is?
"Your Majesty, according to the message from the visitor, the envoy from Bei Liao is waiting at Youdu Mansion..."
What's all this? Wu Zhizhong was helpless. When traveling to other countries and entering other countries, the mission should be accompanied by an escort. Future itineraries should also be arranged by the escort... These were the early years
The terms agreed upon during the peace talks between the two countries were still strongly advocated by the country and the DPRK.
"Oh... then let's turn around. Tell General Luo to worry more..."
At that time, our country was weak, and although our roles have changed now, our country cannot do anything contrary to its promise.
As for meeting Yelu Yixin, we can only take it one step at a time.
Youdu Prefecture was the administrative seat of Nanjing in the Northern Liao Dynasty. It was originally the Youzhou of the Central Plains Dynasty. It was also one of the Sixteen Yanyun Prefectures that the Chinese Dynasty never forgot...
The Northern Liao people were very rude, and basically the state and court would treat them as barbarians who did not understand etiquette. For example, this time, the envoy should pick up the envoy on a fixed route after entering the country.
But the envoy from Bei Liao was actually waiting at Youdu Mansion, just waiting outside Youdu Mansion...Wu Zhizhong did not interfere with some military affairs, he believed that General Luo would do a good job.
The imperial court now has an inexplicable trust in the generals of the old guard camp.
······
"Don't want to see me?"
This trip was inexplicable, and Wu Zhizhong could understand it, but he didn't expect that Yelu Yixin's power had almost dominated the Northern Liao Dynasty, and even the accompanying envoys of the Northern Liao court could control it at will.
However, Wu Zhizhong was not prepared to pay attention to Yelu Yixin's questions.
"Don't say anything? Do you believe that this king can prevent your envoys from seeing me before His Majesty?"
This is possible. According to what Wu Zhizhong knew, the Northern Liao emperor almost ignored the government affairs and left all matters to the powerful minister Yelu Yixin. It is really possible that such a wrangling envoy would not be able to see the Northern Liao emperor.
"I believe that King Yelu can block the audio and video, but can King Yelu also control the development of the situation in Song and Liao Dynasties?"
"The king invites envoys to come to Youdu Mansion because of the situation between the two countries. I wonder what the Song Dynasty court means? What does it mean to deal with the refugees from our dynasty? I heard that the Song Dynasty court has issued a decree to prohibit
Is it possible for the people of Daliao to return to the north?"
"I don't know."
Wu Zhizhong really didn't know that this happened after he left the capital. Besides, his mission to Beiliao had nothing to do with it.
"Then what's the point of waiting for the envoys to come to our court? It's better to just return..."
"It is no trivial matter for the two countries to send envoys. Our credential has been reported to His Majesty the Emperor of the Northern Liao Dynasty by courier."
"Hmph! Now the negotiations between the Song Dynasty and our country are suspended, and the checkpoints are closed... In the past years, it would have been a time of war."
"Don't be afraid! Since the king can deploy troops on the border, he can surely start a war at any time..."
Don't think that war can still intimidate the Song Dynasty. Since the army has already formed, let's try to provoke a war. Some words can resist, and some words need to be roundabout. Wu Zhizhong is upright, not ignorant of affairs.
"When will the forum open?"
"This needs to be decided by the Northern Liao court."
“When will the level be cleared?”
"You need to go to the court to decide."
Is there something wrong? Isn't this a problem? Oh... I understand. Wu Zhizhong understood something at this time. Yelu Yixin's purpose of intercepting the mission was because the troubles between the two countries were caused by him. Maybe, maybe
The court merchants of the Northern Liao Dynasty are unknown.
Wu Zhizhong felt at ease now.
His mission to Bei Liao was originally a matter of wrangling, and he originally thought that it was the court of Bei Liao that stirred up the trouble. But now, if it was really Yelu Yixin who provoked the dispute without authorization, Wu Zhizhong would not mind taking credit for it.
As for the safety of the mission, I don't dare to do anything to it.
