Six hundred and seventieth chapters refused to accept the decree
"What a world meeting, but you are really ambitious! The emperor refused to accept the decree! He Xie, do you really think that by controlling Tubo, you can take advantage of the barbarians and threaten the court?"
In the lobby of Qingtang City Government Office, Zhu Guangting pointed at He Xie who was sitting high in the hall and shouted harshly, causing everyone present to change their expressions.
In the lobby at this time, except for Quan Guanqing, Wang Yuyan and Tan Gong Tan Po, the top leaders of Tianxiahui were all present.
Originally, at this time when dark clouds were pressing down on the border between Xixia and Chenbing, the Song Dynasty sent envoys to cheer up everyone. Huang Shang and others went out of the city to greet them in person, and the envoys were respectfully welcomed to the government office lobby.
However, what the envoy did next made everyone unexpected and very angry.
When Zhu Guangting arrived, He Xie showed respect and went to the door to greet him in person, with a respectful attitude. However, Zhu Guangting was annoyed that He Xie did not go out of the city to greet him. He made some sarcastic remarks, which made He Xie almost unable to get off the stage. The situation was very embarrassing for a time.
After entering the lobby, everyone asked Zhu Guangting to take a seat, and they were about to host a banquet. Unexpectedly, Zhu Guangting turned his back on the guests and loudly scolded Huang Shang, who proposed the proposal, saying that his enemy only cared about pleasure at the moment and was simply ignorant and stupid.
The scolding made Huang Shang blush.
Qiao Feng couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to defend Huang Shang. Unexpectedly, Zhu Guangting said very contemptuously: "A Khitan barbarian is worthy of talking to me?"
On the contrary, he was very polite to Duan Yu and politely told Duan Yu that this was a family matter of the Song Dynasty and that Duan Yu, a prince from a foreign country, could only take carrots and worry about it, which made Duan Yu feel a soft nail.
He was also very polite to Jiumozhi, so polite that he thought that Jiumozhi should be the master of Tubo. His words were provocative, almost like Ming said.
He Xie was almost furious. Why did the Song Dynasty send such a thing? Was this the intention of Su Che or the intention of Empress Dowager Gao?
After talking about He Xie's subordinates one by one, Zhu Guangting took out the imperial edict with a nose instead of a nose and eyes instead of eyes, asking He Xie to place an incense table to receive the edict.
How could he be so evil?
He said calmly on the spot: "Although I am from the Song Dynasty, I am now the Lord of Tubo and represent all the people of Tubo. The officials of the Song Dynasty should send letters of credence instead of imperial edicts, so forgive me and dare not accept it."
Zhu Guangting was furious when he heard this, and then he said what he had said angrily against He Xie before.
He Xie stared at Zhu Guangting for a while and suddenly smiled.
"Master Huang Altar," he said.
Huang Shang stepped forward with a solemn expression: "My subordinate is here!"
"Please ask this envoy to leave the city." He said slowly.
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone was stunned.
Obviously, they never expected that He Xie would make such a decision.
At that moment, Qiao Feng was the first to react, stepped out, cupped his fists and said, "Brother, I thought..."
He Xie stretched out his hand to stop Qiao Feng, smiled at him, turned to Huang Shang and continued: "Remember, you must send your envoy out of the city, don't let him have an accident in Qingtang City."
Zhu Guangting didn't react until then. He was so angry that he was shaking all over and his face was red.
"Bold! Bold!" He pointed at He Xie with a trembling hand, "He Xie, you are so bold! Do you know what you are doing?"
He Xie didn't even look at him, but narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at Huang Shang, who was still stunned.
Huang Shang sighed inwardly, understanding that He Xie had made up his mind.
"Master Huang, please." Although Huang Shang was very reluctant to have the world turn against Song Ting, in front of outsiders, their subordinates would never go against He Xie's will.
Zhu Guangting was so angry that he pointed at He Xie and yelled: "Reckless man! Reckless man! Now that the Xixia army is approaching, you are ruining the good situation of Tubo just for the sake of your own mood. If you refuse the favor of the officials today, you will be defeated tomorrow."
Die!"
"Sir Huang, please!" After hearing this, Huang Shang couldn't stand listening any more. He emphasized his tone and said it again while staring at Zhu Guangting.
Zhu Guangting turned his head and glared at Huang Shang for a long time, and finally waved his sleeves in displeasure and turned away.
"It's not enough to make a fool of yourself! I'll give you something for free, huh!" He angrily waved his sleeves and turned to leave.
Just as Huang Shang was about to follow him, He Xie quietly spoke again behind him: "Since the envoy is leaving, please don't disturb his purity."
Huang Shang suddenly stopped in his steps and looked startled. He looked at Zhu Guangting's back as he left angrily. He thought that this person was not a wild and rebellious person before. He also thought that He Xie could even accept the humiliation of the Tubo prince who asked him to dance with a sword for fun.
"Honored Lord," Jiumozhi looked worried and clasped his hands together, "How can we resist the 100,000-strong Xixia army if we hate the Song Dynasty?"
On the other side, Zhao Qiansun had a different view. He snorted coldly and said: "Look at that dog official, his nostrils are turned up to the sky. Even I can't stand his bird air, let alone the Lord?"
"But when it comes to national affairs, how can we put our will first?" Qiao Feng looked worried and hugged He Xie, "Brother, although we have a careful plan for the battle, it is a dangerous move after all. The eldest brother is so determined to go his own way, and the younger brother thinks it is not right.
OK!"
Duan Yu also stood up and said: "Yes, brother, the official decree of the Song Dynasty should be to appease us and discuss the matter of jointly resisting the Xixia. After all, if we have a quarrel with the Song Dynasty, it will only cause pain to our relatives."
, Haters are quick! Brother, I beg you to think twice. It’s not too late to recover Angel and apologize now.”
He Xie smiled and looked at Huang Shang: "Does Altar Master Huang have something to say?"
Huang Shanghuan clasped his fists and muttered: "I must have a deep meaning for you, Lord."
In fact, he had guessed about seven points, but he didn't say anything because he naturally wanted He Xie to be in the limelight.
However, He Xie waved his hand: "Say!"
The world doesn't need this kind of flattery and speculation.
Huang Shang's mind was clear, and he immediately understood what he was thinking just by looking at He Xie's face. He secretly felt ashamed and said hurriedly: "From my subordinates' point of view, this Master Zhu did it intentionally."
Qiao Feng said "Ah" and asked in surprise: "Why did he do this? Could it be that if you really deceive me, you will have no choice but to accept the situation?"
Huang Shang smiled and said: "That's true, but it's not the most important thing."
"From the perspective of my subordinates, Master Huang's attitude towards our Tianxiahui is nothing more than to test whether our Tianxiahui has a disobedient heart," Huang Shang said, "If not, we will focus on appeasing him and granting him titles; if so,
, then just ignore it and let us fend for ourselves."
"In this way, we expelled the angels from the city and refused to accept the decree. Wouldn't it just make the officials think that the world will be disobedient and let us fend for ourselves?" Qiao Feng became even more anxious after hearing this, "I will make the world full of corruption."
When we are ready to prosper, we will build a branch in the Song Dynasty. If the officials regard us as traitors and send troops to encircle and suppress us, won't it be a dead end?"
