The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 111 Hello, my lord

"Master Yang is really very sorry. We did not help you in the Southern Han Dynasty. We did not do well what you entrusted. We are very sorry for this." After Liu Yan said something, as the prince Liu Shoujie also started to speak.

"Hehehe, Your Highness is very polite, your country can help us, this envoy is already very grateful, I will report the purchase to my majesty, and I am really grateful that your majesty the emperor can host a banquet for foreign ministers today."

Yang Li is very humble, you have helped us a lot, we don't expect anything, we are very grateful, and there is nothing else.

Just as Liu Shoujie was about to say a few words, someone came over here. Before Liu Shoujie could speak, these came in, as if they were late on purpose.

There were quite a few people who came, and one of them looked very similar to Liu Shoujie, and there were a few people wearing official uniforms beside him. in the middle
Judging from the team they were walking, it was obvious that he was the most respected, and everyone followed him one step behind him. Zhao Xu had really seen this person before, just now he was standing with Liu Shoujie , he is Liu Shoujie's younger brother, Liu Shouzheng.

Wasn't he still with Liu Shoujie and the others just now? Why is he walking behind at this time? Doesn't this make sense? There must be something wrong with these two brothers.

"I pay my respects to my father. My son just went out to deal with some matters. I came late. I ask my father to make amends." Liu Shouzheng knelt directly in front of Liu Yan at this moment.

"Come on, I know you've been tired recently, so I won't blame you, but you must make amends to the Song envoy." Liu Yu didn't blame his son, but said he wanted him to give Song envoy apologize.

"Thank you, father, my son obeys the order." Liu Shouzheng stood next to his brother with a smile. The banquet here has not started yet, and they dare not move. They can only move freely when Liu Yan says it will start.

"Okay, today, everyone is here for the Song envoy's farewell party, don't be cautious, let's start, Jane Aiqing, you can host." Liu Yan directly called their prime minister, Lao Jian, to host.

Jian Jingzhong had no choice but to stand up, and the whole banquet began, and soon the singing and dancing instruments came to mind, the atmosphere was so lively, and the ministers let go of their restraint.

Zhao Xu noticed that many of the ministers here were eccentric. Zhao Xu thought of the legend that these people couldn't be all eunuchs, otherwise they would talk like this, and the banquet was very lively.

Zhao Xu is a small official, and there are not many people who come to greet him, so he is very free most of the time, and he can have a lot of time to collect some information. With his anxiety ability, many things are not easy to catch.

Zhao Xu finally learned something while chatting with some people, and he also learned about the internal situation of this country. This country is really different from other countries.

It goes without saying that the emperor is the most honorable, but as a prime minister, Jian Jingzhong is not under one person and above ten thousand, nor does he have so much power, he is far behind his father.

The power of the imperial court is in the hands of several ministers of Liu Wei. For example, the people sitting in the first row to the left and right of Liu Wei are the five most important ministers of the army, agriculture, and economy in this country. They have real power.

The first person on the left is wearing a military uniform and looks very energetic. This is a general, a general, a general of the Han Dynasty, and the Southern Han Dynasty set up a general after the Western Han Dynasty.

The second one on the left, who looks to be about seventy years old, is tall and thin, with a white beard curled up. He is also a general, but he is not a general, only one level lower than the general.

The right side looks like a malnourished old man, his face is full of wrinkles, and his eyes are thin and small, but they are shining brightly. This person is the Minister of the Ministry of Households, who is in charge of the granary of the Southern Han Dynasty.

The second person on the right has a dignified appearance, neat facial features, and a well-tailored official uniform, which makes him look quite noble. This person has a sharp mouth, he is a minister of etiquette, and he is a diplomatic expert.

The third person on the right, that is, the last one, is the economic minister in charge of various economic operations and taxation affairs in the Southern Han Dynasty. Liu Mengyu has a fat body, even though she is already wearing a loose official uniform, she still gives people a bulky feeling , and there is always a smile on his face, he looks like a standard good old man on the outside, but his scheming is the deepest among the five, he is a standard smiling tiger , However, other people will not be worse.

These five people have almost mastered the operation of the main lifeline of the Southern Han Dynasty. Coupled with the entanglement of interests among them, they have colluded with each other for many years and formed a considerable force in the court of the Southern Han Dynasty. But there is one thing, they are all Those who are loyal to Liu Yu, these people are all Liu Yu's confidantes. There is also a big news, these people have two leading generals, and the rest are all eunuchs, which also confirms the rumor that non-eunuchs cannot be high officials.

Zhao Xu analyzed these people quickly in his mind, and slowly remembered these people. Liu Yu really has a little ability to rule this country.

"My lord, what's your name? Why do I think you look familiar?" While Zhao Xu was analyzing these forces, Liu Shoujie walked up to him.

Just pretend, kid. We met a while ago. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to come to Nanhan. How could you have forgotten it in such a short time? Zhao Xu quickly put these things away when he thought of this place Forget it, you did it on purpose.

Zhao Xu couldn't stop complaining, student Xiao Liu, you are really too forgetful, you have already forgotten after a while, didn't you want to punish me, why did you ask who I am.

"I've met Your Highness. I'm just a low-level official. It's a great honor to come to the palace with Lord Yang. As for the name, I'm afraid that my name is not as good as your ears, so I call me Xiao Zhao." Let's go." Zhao Xu started talking nonsense.

"Hello, my lord. You are welcome to be sent out as an envoy. My lord is absolutely extraordinary." Liu Shoujie only talked to Zhao Xu in order to make another friend.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xu claimed to be Xiao Zhao, but he misunderstood that Zhao Xu's surname was small, and called him a little master. This made Zhao Xu dumbfounded, little master.

At this time, there should be no such titles. Xiao Zhao, Xiao Li, adding a small character in front of the surname means a title. The elder is a kind of address for the younger, and it has become a surname here. Zhao Xu I also don't know what to say.
