Shi Xiang Ci... This should be the reason why the Liao Emperor was heartbroken. It was because of this word that the Liao Emperor recognized the affair between the queen and the actor and ordered the queen to die.
The craftsmen of the Lu family had an affair... This is a story recognized by the market. It was agreed upon by the mission to respond to the Emperor of Liao in such terms.
Similarly, the five thousand cavalry dispatched without the permission of the Liao Emperor far exceeded the quota of the tribe.
Therefore, even if the Liao Emperor did not reply on the spot, the final outcome of the imperial dynasty should not be much different from what was expected.
"This Zi Quan..."
When Lu Huiqing saw the report, based on his understanding of the officials, his brother-in-law must have fallen into the eyes of the officials this time.
What officials value most is capable ministers who can adapt to changes and take advantage of the situation.
I didn't expect that my brother-in-law, who I thought was quite upright, would actually have such flexibility.
"In this case, the court's response needs to be adjusted accordingly..."
Wu Zhizhong's response was indeed beneficial to the country and the country, and he could indeed be considered as overfulfilling the mission mission.
The imperial court had originally decided to fight, and even considered prolonging the fight.
"No matter what, if the mission achieves the desired results, it will be worthy of commendation."
Zhang Dun really wasn't targeting Wang Anshi, he just thought his words were a bit unpleasant.
"We need to ask the officials again..."
In the previous cabinet, Wang Anshi couldn't remember whether he harassed officials so frequently.
I always feel that they have a lot of things to do this term, and most of them are matters that the cabinet does not have the right to decide.
There is a deviation here. During the previous cabinet, officials often observed cabinet deliberations, and most matters were decided directly in the cabinet chamber.
Nowadays, the prince participates in cabinet discussions every day, but he listens more and talks less, and rarely speaks.
"Oh, this is an unexpected surprise... Who is familiar with this Zhizhong...? What kind of minister is he?"
Zhao Xi really didn't understand. Wu Zhizhong's current title was only a doctor in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, or a doctor who had just joined the court from a local place.
Zhao Xi was not very familiar with such officials, or could not catch his eye.
"Guan family, this is the son-in-law of Lu Ge's old colleague..."
"When I return to the official family, I am indeed my brother-in-law. However, this mission was recommended by the Ministry of Personnel. The relationship between Zhizhong and my minister is just like that."
Lu Huiqing had to explain whether Wang Anshi dug a hole or not.
In fact, Zhao Xi didn't care how the mission was decided. He originally wanted to argue.
When Wu Zhizhong brought unexpected joy, what Zhao Xi valued was this person, not any relationship.
In the entire imperial court, who can exist in isolation? Which family is not related by relatives?
The so-called rise of a poor family in a country, once it rises, there is no such thing as a poor family.
Besides, in the early years, would truly poor families really have the opportunity to study?
"Fan Yaofu, tell me. When evaluating officials, the supervisory yamen has the most say."
The current system of the country and the evaluation of the Ministry of Civil Affairs all require the approval of the Supervisory Yamen.
"In the official family, Wu Langzhong is suitable for supervising the yamen."
This comment...~Zhao Xi was a little stunned for a moment. Seeing Lu Huiqing's expression, she knew that Fan Chunren had hit the nail on the head.
Come to think of it, Wu Zhizhong is probably an upright person.
"Forget it, let the cabinet discuss it as appropriate after returning to the court. As for the credentials issued against Bei Liao, how should the court respond...~"
"I think it's time to put some pressure on the prefectures and counties in Hebei Province! The day when the envoys return to the DPRK, the market will be opened."
"Ji Fu, Zirong, and the imperial court cannot make mistakes. The city council will send people to Hebei Province to conduct on-site inspections and conduct a detailed analysis of the specific situation of the construction in Hebei Province."
"In addition, give the Hebei Province prefectures and counties a time limit to arrest the fugitives within the time limit... the time should be almost there."
Being able to vaguely cut off the escapers' route back north should be helpful in catching the escapees.
At the same time, destroying Yelu Yixin's plan with the Northern Liao State Book might prompt Yelu Yixin to speed up things...
The Prince's Mansion in Nanjing, Northern Liao Dynasty...
"Everyone go down..."
Yelu Yixin was having a banquet. When he saw his subordinates entering the palace, he hesitated to speak, so he let the singing and dancing performers go.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has signed a letter of credence requesting the withdrawal of troops from the border. In addition, your Majesty has signed a document that both sides shall not accept thieves who violate the law..."
"Bang..." Yelu Yixin threw the wine bottle in his hand, a little out of breath, and closed his eyes to suppress his anger.
"What's going on with Xiao Lugu?"
He didn't know the details of what happened in the court. Looking at the results, he knew that he had suffered a loss in the debate with the Song Dynasty envoy in the court. He had told Xiao Lugu to win over the court officials as much as possible, and he also had the cronies he arranged.
participate.
This was in the Northern Liao Dynasty, his home court, and he actually allowed the Song envoy to make a comeback.
"Your Majesty, the envoy of Song Dynasty only mentioned in front of His Majesty the arrest of the prison robbers, and said that the prison robbers were having an affair with the master's concubine. The excuse was that the border was closed because there were still unapprehended thieves who slipped through the net..."
"The envoy of the Song Dynasty also mentioned the five thousand cavalry and Chen Bing border in His Majesty's palace tent..."
When Yelu Yixin heard this, he knew something was wrong. He was the instigator of what happened to Queen Xiao. He knew how angry His Majesty was.
The envoy of the Song Dynasty avoided the important matter and did not mention the matter of sending a craftsman to sneak into the Song Dynasty workshop at all. He did not mention the relationship between the two countries at all, and all his preparations were in vain.
He could imagine His Majesty's anger after hearing about the affair, and he knew that no one would argue about the situation at that time.
"Song envoy is cunning!"
Apart from this sentence, Yelu Yixin really didn’t know what to say.
Originally, he had been prepared. As long as the Song envoy mentioned that the border was closed to capture the escaped craftsmen, some of the courtiers would block the Song envoy's request directly on the grounds that the two sides did not prohibit Dingkou exchanges.
However, things backfired, as Ambassador Song directly amplified the wording of an affair, making all excuses impossible.
"What if you don't accept that the other party violated the criminal law?"
"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Song Dynasty said that this was signed by the Hedong Alliance. It is simply because the Song Dynasty closed the border and was worried that we and other Liao defense forces would misunderstand it, so we need credentials to prove it..."
Needless to say, the envoy of the Song Dynasty was just digging a hole. He did not mention the craftsmen, nor did he mention that the so-called criminal laws of the Song Dynasty were the commercial laws of the Song Dynasty. Just a servant having an affair with the concubine of the family master was enough to get it from your majesty.
to the credentials he wanted.
Yelu Yixin didn’t even know what to say. Could this be considered shooting a stone in the foot?
"Three years of planning have failed!"
Yelu Yixin didn't think there was anything wrong with planning this matter alone.
Not all of Daliao were his cronies, Yelu Yixin also had the same ideas as him. Many courtiers even believed that Daliao only needed some wool to exchange for exquisite Yangfang items from the Song Dynasty...
