King of Song

Chapter 232
The welcome banquet of Tubo Zanpu Dongzhi ended early!
There is no other reason. After the export of Lin Zhao's "Man Jianghong", it caused a strong shock, so that everyone was not interested in other things behind.What's more, some important characters were absent-minded, and they couldn't raise their interest at all, so the atmosphere of the banquet was a bit gloomy.

Liang Yibu was undoubtedly one of them. He originally wanted to take this rare opportunity to humiliate the envoy Song and earn some face for Xixia.He also thought that he was in an invincible position, embarrassing the Song envoy.

Unexpectedly, in the end, he lifted a rock and shot himself in the foot, bringing shame upon himself.

Lin Zhao used a majestic, ambitious, and obvious allusion to defuse the offensive, and slapped himself hard with his backhand.

In particular, Lin Zhao smiled and asked in front of Tubo Zanpu Dong Zhan, "Master Liang, are you satisfied?"

Does it matter whether you are satisfied or not at this time?People who want to see jokes become jokes in the eyes of others.

Obviously, Lin Zhao's words aroused everyone's amazement, regardless of the content of what he said, it was a great shame to Xixia.

The people present looked at Lin Zhao with a calm and confident demeanor, as if they vaguely believed that this young man would do what he said, and he would definitely be able to do it.

snort!Speaking wild words, not knowing the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, who do you think you are?Liang Yibu thought it was just a joke and was indignant.

Of course, this feeling of self-inflicted humiliation is very uncomfortable, it is really a fire.

Liang Yibu felt that he was wrong, perhaps because the envoy Song was too young to be underestimated.The performance tonight is enough to show that this person is young and promising, and it is reasonable for the emperor of the Song Dynasty to send him here.

Fortunately, it's not too late now, just pay attention to it from now on.Today can only be regarded as a small test, the real confrontation is yet to come...

But Liang Yibu really couldn't swallow this breath, thinking in his heart, he must find a way to teach Song Shi a lesson...

At the same time, Liang Yibu was still angry. Lin Bubi was also on the scene at the time, but he didn't show up from the beginning to the end.Don't say a word for yourself, and don't even say a word.The veritable prince of Tubo, yesterday was the occasion when he was supposed to speak and show himself to everyone, but he kept silent.Hesitation, missed opportunities...

On the contrary, it was Ali Gu who spoke up for justice and helped Song envoy Lin Zhao speak.It is well-founded and eloquent, regardless of the effect, at least he left a good impression in front of the envoys of various countries.When everyone talks about Ali bone, Lin Bubi is unknown, the difference is really big!
Over time, Tibetans may only know Aligu, not Linbubi.

In Liang Yibu's heart, he really hated iron but not steel!
Today may be an unlucky day for Liang Yibu. When he returned to the Li Hotel, his attendants reported another very unfortunate news to him.

"Master Xiang, Song Dynasty Huanqing Road... Li Fugui... Zhong Yong..."

"What?" Liang Yibu was shocked: "Old Li Fugui is too deceitful. People in the Song Dynasty are really two-faced and three-faced, and they set one thing in front of the other. They are all treacherous, shameless guys... "

"Don't worry, Prime Minister. The Empress Dowager has already mobilized troops. The Song people may not be able to take advantage of it... Just let me let you know. Maybe this is a two-pronged approach by the Song Dynasty people. Could there be other intentions? Need to pay attention to this..."

Thinking of Lin Zhao's deeds today, Liang Yi took it for granted. He had not only underestimated the Song envoy, but also underestimated the Song Dynasty.While being vigilant in my heart, the hatred became more solemn.

If you don't give Song Shi some color, do you really think Xixia is easy to bully?Also, although it was only the first time they met, Liang Yibu had a vague feeling that this young Song envoy Lin Zhao might be a confidant in the future.

Some things need to be prevented before they happen. If so...a sinister opportunity was created in Liang Yibu's heart...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Tubo palace, Dong Zhan was full of wine and food, lying on a leather cushion, and couldn't help laughing slightly.

"Interesting, really interesting!" Dong felt said with a smile: "I thought the emperor of the Song Dynasty was too hasty, and even sent a little doll as an envoy. Now it seems that age is not a problem. This young man is not simple. He must be able to take on such a task." Da Ren! Moreover, his youthful appearance can easily deceive others and make people look down on him, so Liang Yibu will be on the right track today!"

"Zanpu, about today's seating..." Dong Zhan's chief counselor Duoji was standing next to him. He did not believe that the seating arrangement at today's banquet was due to the negligence of his attendants.According to the official position of the envoy, where is there such a practice?It's also unreliable.

Dong felt lightly smiled and said, "That's right, I ordered it!"

Uh……

Who would have thought that the oolong at the banquet turned out to be Tubo Zanpu's idea, as expected, Duoji said with a smile: "Zanpu, if we can't solve it properly today, our Tubo will be ashamed."

"The problem is solved properly. Sometimes it is necessary to take some risks, and the results often surprise us. Otherwise, how would we know that the young Song envoy was hiding something? How would we know Liang Yibu's attitude?" , how could I know..." Dong felt then laughed, as if very proud.

Duoji immediately understood that Zanpu's purpose was not that simple. Could it be that there were only two people who were tempted by the painstaking layout?

Dong felt asked, "Has Lin Bubi ever stepped forward?"

"No, I've been watching from the beginning to the end, and didn't show up..." Duoji thought for a while, and added: "Zanpu, it may be more difficult for Lin Bu than the prince. trade off!"

"Huh!" Dong felt sighed, "Is it really difficult? He couldn't make any choices, he was too indecisive. Could it be that he had other choices at that time?"

After thinking about it, Dong felt smiled again: "But that's good, at least he didn't completely rely on Liang Yi, and he still has his own opinions on right and wrong."

Dorje said: "Yes, Prince Lin Bubi is more sensible in this matter. Relatively speaking, Ali Gu is a bit..."

"Ali Gu didn't say anything when I asked him face to face, but he gave me the best answer with practical actions!" Dong Xing said in a deep voice, "At least he didn't do anything wrong. No matter what happens, this is the consistent attitude of the late king and me. ...The Xixia people may not be reliable, at least they should maintain a good relationship with the Song Dynasty...

In fact, thinking about it, Ali Gu had no choice but to do so at the time was completely reasonable.It would be really disappointing if he didn't say anything... On this point, he was somewhat better than Lin Bubi. "

Dorje understands Zanpu's state of mind too well. The behavior of his son and adopted son is so embarrassing for Zanpu and his father...

"Zanpu, there is still a long way to go. It takes time to see people's hearts, take your time, don't worry!"

"That's the only way to go!" Dong felt said with a smile, "but the young envoy Song is interesting. He is young, but he is a good-looking talent. He looks quiet and weak, but there is a heroic spirit in his bones. Driving a long car , Breaking through the gap in Helan Mountain, what a bold tone, full of domineering ah!"

"Would it be a bit exaggerated, after all, he is just a young man!"

Dong felt disapproving and said: "At least it's a kind of courage. In the Song Dynasty these years, the emphasis was on literature over martial arts. Scholars were all weak and weak like women. There are few people who are so heroic and ambitious. At least I feel that this son is very As usual, the future is limitless, maybe, you can really laugh and drink the blood of the Huns!
Think about it, if he was just a weak scholar, would the emperor of the Song Dynasty let him go on a mission?The bitter cold in the northwest, the mission itself has a military color, this is the prelude to the cultivation of literati generals! "

Dorje fully agrees with this.The status of simple generals in the Song Dynasty was not high, but the generals who were born as civil servants were extraordinary.Military talent should not be underestimated either. Fan Zhongyan's strategy in the Northwest made Xixia suffer a lot.

"What's more, this son was sent to the Liao Kingdom. A few years ago, Liaodong Xiaohu saw the chaos, and the family of the Liao Lord almost died. It is said that he rescued the Queen Xiao Guanyin and the little princess of the Liao Kingdom. The monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom loved him a lot. There are compliments and gratitude, it is said that his white horse was given by Yelu Jun, Prince of Liao Kingdom, and it is one of the best horses on the Khitan grassland..."

One of Dong Zhan's wives was Princess Ling Jiemo of the Liao Kingdom, who had been dealing with Khitan courtesies all the time, so it was easy to get relevant information.

"Zanpu, how about arranging a polo match on Mrs. Tai's birthday?" Duoji suddenly had an idea.

Dong felt pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "That's fine, let them show themselves. First, let's see how Lin Zhao sits on the Khitan horse, and second...it's a chance for Liang Yi, can you?" It's up to him to save face.

Remember, only when the Song Dynasty and Xixia are fighting each other can we become more and more important. "

The truth shows the importance of Hehuang Tubo and the helplessness of living space.If you want to deal with two big countries, how to be like a fish in water and maximize your interests is really not easy.

Dorji nodded and said, "Yes, what about us? Do we want to participate too?"

"So..." Dong felt as if he had already planned in his mind, and said, "Let Qing Yijie Guizhang be in charge of our Tubo team, and let the Uighurs also participate as one of the core."

"Uyghur?" Duoji understands why Qing Yijie Guizhang is responsible, but do Uyghur people need to take it so seriously?

Seeing the doubts on Duoji's face, Dong felt with a smile and asked: "Isn't Princess Yingjiemu from Uighur coming to Qingtang City as a guest? Ask Lin Bubi to entertain at the same time..."

Dorji suddenly felt his heart move, and said, "Zanpu, what do you mean..."

Dong felt said with a smile: "The ancestor Songtsan Gampo also married Princess Chizun of Nibala and Princess Wencheng of the Tang Dynasty at the same time. The two Zanmeng (Queens) were respected together. Lin Bubi was the prince of Tubo and married the princesses of the two countries at the same time. Why not?"
