(Thank you book friends 151021211303579, qs Yaodao for your rewards!)
Two days after this incident, Yeluliang didn't dare to make any more moves, lest he would be self-defeating again, and in the end he would be the one who deceived himself.After the Khitans and Koreans stopped, Chang'an City returned to its former state, with a peaceful life revealing a scene of prosperity.

For the past two days, Yeluliang restrained his subordinates, not daring to let these domineering Khitans go out again.Even without his permission, these Khitan people with high-sighted eyes would still make trouble.But now it's all right, apart from him, there are only two Khitan deputy envoys who have not been punished with the cane, and the rest can only lie on the bed, unable to move.

In fact, Huang Weiyi deliberately told the yamen servants that he would deal ruthless blows to the Khitan people in advance. These yamen servants didn't like the Khitan people in the first place. With the secret order from their superiors, how could they not use their best efforts?Twenty strokes of water and fire sticks, even if it is copper skin and iron bones, will be beaten to the bone and tendons!

Yeluliang was annoyed, but there was nothing he could do about it. Who told him that he couldn't take advantage of the righteousness? He was the one who provoked the incident first?After suffering a dumb loss, he could only swallow his anger and hate in his heart.

On the third day, Lu Chengqi finally remembered them, sent Xiao Huangmen to announce the decree, summoned the Liao ambassador, and discussed diplomatic matters between the two countries.After Yeluliang received the imperial edict, he turned his head and looked at his original delegation, which had a large number of missionaries, and felt like crying.For these bedridden Khitan people, Yeluliang could only recognize them. He took two deputy envoys and followed Xiaohuangmen. Enter the palace of the Dashun Dynasty.

Even Yeluliang, who came from Shangjing, the most prosperous place in the Liao Kingdom, was also stunned by the Han Palace in front of him.Red walls and green tiles, carved dragons and painted phoenixes, are full of grace and luxury.The building materials here are extremely luxurious, resplendent and magnificent, and it is a beautiful palace in the sky.The Dachao Daqing Hall was built on the central axis of the Xuande Gate at the main entrance of the Great Nei, followed by the Zichen Hall.In the west of the central axis, another north-south axis is established, with the Wende Hall in front and the Hanging Hall in the back.Both the Zichen Hall and the Wende Hall once looked at the dynasty, and both have the nature of the Japanese dynasty, while the Chuigong Hall is the regular dynasty for daily viewing.

Compared with Shangjing in Liao Kingdom, Yeluliang felt that the imperial palace in Shangjing was very shabby.Even if the Dashun Palace is not big, it is not comparable to the Shangjing Palace of the Liao Kingdom.Dashun's most powerful craftsmen gathered, and it took more than ten years to repair the imperial palace five or six times. How can it be compared with the Liao Kingdom, which has just stepped into the farming society?
Lu Chengqi, who was the first to see the red walls and green tiles, was not used to it.Later generations are used to the Forbidden City with red walls and yellow tiles seen on TV, but Lu Chengqi really never imagined that this green house is the imperial palace of the Dashun Dynasty.

What Lu Chengqi didn't know was that before the Song Dynasty in the official history, including the Song Dynasty, the tiles used in the imperial palace were mostly black and green, and there was no usage of yellow.Only from the Yuan Dynasty, the golden tiles were used, in line with the meaning of the grassland dynasty to the golden family. In fact, in the eyes of the Chinese at that time, it was like wearing a Huang Xiang...

When it came to Zhu Chongba, the emperor with mud legs, he also had a special liking for yellow, so that the palace in Nanjing also used yellow tiles.Since Zhu Yuanzhang was too strong, no one dared to object, so it continued.

After Zhu Di moved his capital to Beiping, the style of the imperial palace was also determined by his ministers. He probably also preferred yellow, so he continued to use golden glazed tiles. This is the origin of the red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City.

Xiaohuangmen led the stunned Yeluliang and two Khitan deputy envoys, entered from Daqing Gate, passed through the long corridor, entered Xuanyou Gate, and arrived outside Chongzheng Hall.Lu Chengqi has been waiting in the Chongzheng Hall for a while.

Twelve cabinet ministers, Minister of Rites Feng Chengping, military staff and other important officials, first greeted Lu Chengqi respectfully, then the deputy envoys, cabinet envoys, and general officials took their positions and saluted Lu Chengqi. After two obeisances, Goodbye.

At this time, Yeluliang, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom holding the book case, and three others took their seats under the guidance of Sheren (an official equivalent to the emperor's secretary), and Sheren bowed his hands to the Khitan envoy.These Sheren are six Jinshi B ranks in the ninth year of the first emperor. They are called Liu Geng, and their style name is Bannong. They can be regarded as the elders of the two dynasties. Province, but after Lu Chengqi abolished the three provinces, he was no longer called Zhongshu Sheren, but directly called Sheren, or Cabinet Sheren, who was an official who passed memorials between cabinet ministers and the emperor.

Don't look at just a small official of the fifth rank, this position is coveted by many people.In front of the emperor, you can get the most news and get closest to the emperor, uh, except for eunuchs of course.The most important point is to get the attention of the emperor. In the future, the official career will be smooth, and that is the most basic thing, and the future is limitless.

After Sheren saluted, the Khitan deputy envoy knelt down to the cabinet envoy and entered the bookcase, and the pavilion gate envoy (equivalent to the translation of the two countries) knelt to receive the bookcase and then ascended to the hall to play. , presented by Xu Chongguang to Emperor Dashun Lu Chengqi.

Under the guidance of Sheren and the Deputy Envoy of the Liao Kingdom, Yeluliang, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, and two deputy envoys walked to the east steps, and were guided by the Gemen envoy to ascend the palace, and came to Lu Chengqi's throne, and conveyed the Liao Kingdom's lord's congratulations to Dashun. Greetings from Emperor Lu Chengqi's body.

After Lu Chengqi finished listening, he also asked the emissary of the pavilion to ask Yeluliang and his leader, Yelu Hongji, how he was doing.After the Khitan envoy's deputy returned, under the guidance of Sheren Liu Geng, he descended from the east steps to the hall.Then, the envoy and deputy envoy of the Liao Kingdom ascended to the hall respectively, and gave the living ceremony to Lu Chengqi.

This set is a programmed greeting etiquette, and Yeluliang and the two deputy envoys have been practicing for a day.This is the so-called court meeting, that is, the official visit relationship between the two countries, which is equivalent to the meeting of leaders of later generations, and most of them have nothing substantive in it.

Of course, Yeluliang came with a mission, how could he just let it go.After exchanging pleasantries, Yeluliang formally explained the purpose of coming this time, that is to welcome back more than [-] senior Khitan generals including Yelu Nerugu.

Lu Chengqi listened carefully to Yeluliang's half-literate Chinese, and didn't overreact.This is the most basic courtesy of being a human being. Whether you agree with someone's opinion or not, listen to what they have to say first.

After Yeluliang explained clearly the purpose of his visit, Lu Chengqi slowly opened his mouth and said: "I have heard that if someone enters other people's gardens and steals their peaches and plums, it will be wrong. How righteous is it to enter people's gardens and steal peaches and plums. When it comes to entering people's stables and taking people's horses and cattle, the inhumanity is even worse than stealing people's dogs, pigs, chickens and pigs. Today, the great attack on our country, what the Liao Kingdom has done, is nothing like stealing people. What is the difference between peaches and plums, dogs, pigs, chickens and pigs, and cattle and horses?"

Lu Chengqi used the arguments in "Mo Zi" to accuse the Liao Kingdom of being thieves and robbers. Thinking about Lu Chengqi's words.

As one of the few people in Liao who studied Han culture, Yeluliang had read Mohist books. He is also familiar with "Fei Gong Pian", but he has come to an end, and he doesn't know how to refute it, so it ends with words.
