I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 309 This Is An Insult

Many things are not ready, then they are ready. Before things happen, there is never a saying of being ready. Only when things happen, is it really ready.

Not to mention the preparations for war.

The so-called preparations are nothing more than food and grass, armaments, and the arrangement of suitable officials for the battle.

But how Xixia will send troops, which border bandit will choose, and the strength and generals of the other side are all unknown, and it is just a self-feeling to talk about being ready.

The little time he bought allowed Zhao Xi to make some arrangements.

For example, the dispatching center of the workshop city sent grain to the northwest as usual every day, but did not sell a single grain of rice to the Xixia people, so they piled it in the Changping warehouse along the way, and even built a new grain depot.

For example, all the new troops trained by the guard battalion were gradually drawn from the original establishment in the form of imperial edicts, and they were sent to Jingxi Road, Jingzhaofu and even Qinzhou in batches.

For example, the sleeping bags and compressed biscuits produced by the Guard Camp Workshop and Neiyuan Food Factory were transported to the west in various ways by the caravans of the old six families and stored in various warehouses for later use.

For example, the workshop city transportation team put aside the rail transportation, and is transporting something to the northwest...

It should be said that some people in the court felt a little bit, as if they could smell what was going to happen, they were just not sure.

In just half a month, Beiliao had already quelled the civil strife, but the emperor's uncle, who was ambitious to usurp the throne, was on the verge of failure.When those Xiren and Han people who were summoned surrendered, they committed suicide and apologized.

When receiving such a report, the court was in chaos for a while...

Really heartwarming!Zhao Xi also didn't try to scold anyone in class.

This kind of external fear is not guaranteed by victory, and it cannot build up the courage of everyone.Even the husbands, at that moment, hesitated to start a war against Xia.

Fortunately, the posthumous envoy representing the Beiliao Emperor who rushed out of the Duting post was treated by the Honglu Temple of the Guochao without any disrespect.

The Northern Liao mission representing the emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan was also imprisoned in Dutingyi, and no one escaped.

Although he hated usurpers extremely, even Zhao Zhen, the emperor, had deep regrets when the news came that Beiliao had quelled the civil strife.

Pinning hope on the civil strife in other countries should be the common thought of the entire court.

It's a pity that things backfired, and Beiliao quickly quelled the civil strife.

What is even more gratifying is that Beiliao once again sent a mission.

This time when the mission came and arrived in Bianliang, they highly praised Guochao's handling of Dutingyi, and sincerely thanked Song for protecting their envoys and imprisoning rebellious envoys.

In order to express his sincerity, even the Xixia envoys refused to see him.

As for wool craftsmanship, it didn't even mention it. Instead, it proposed to increase the market between the North and the South in order to expand the wool trade.

This relationship is really delicate, even Zhao Xi can't figure out why.

The reason, should be very simple.

As the Northern Liao mission traveled southward, there were rumors about the soldiers of the guard battalion fighting with Xixia warriors, one after another, with various versions.

But one thing is certain, the entire Xixia army was wiped out.

Coupled with the related rumors about the Southern Expedition of the Song Dynasty a few years ago, the civil strife in Daliao has just subsided, and it will take some time to digest... At this time, Daliao also needs time.

The reason for sending the mission south in such a hurry is that the purpose of Beiliao is quite clear...that is to repair the relationship with Song State and ensure that Daliao will not be disturbed by Song State when it is internally rectifying.

Beiliao blamed Xixia and the rebel Yelu Chongyuan on the missions created by wool craftsmanship this time.

Daliao very much hoped that Song Xia would have conflicts at this time, so that he would have time to govern.

As for Xixia, Northern Liao also sent missions, and even reduced the number of war horses that Xixia paid tribute to Daliao by [-]% every year.

This is the relationship between the three parties, which is unclear.

"Gao Envoy, why is it that the Northern Liao Mission is having a banquet in Fanlou, while we and the Great Xia envoys are in Zuixianlou?"

Ever since the Northern Liao Mission arrived, Gao Yi didn't need to turn his face on purpose and deny anyone.

Regardless of whether it is the court or the Honglu Temple, when it comes to treating the envoys of both sides, they are completely treated differently.

Divide and wait, still in the executor, and more obvious.

"Because he is the Liao envoy, not your Xixia."

Gao Yi took the tasteless rice wine and put it down again.

It's not that Zuixianlou doesn't have liquor, it's because Gao Yi didn't want it on purpose.

Didn't you want to anger Xixia?During this period of time, they got a little closer, and the Liao envoy happened to arrive, which saved Gao Yi a lot of trouble.

No, directly distinguishing the specifications for receiving envoys from both sides is enough to provoke.

"Let's go to Fanlou tonight!"

"Wu Zhengshi, you can go to Fan Tower, but please bear the expenses yourself. A few days ago, Fan Tower was paid by myself because of the transaction of war horses. Guochao Honglu Temple welcomes you and others, and it is Zuixian Tower. Specification."

These words are a bit hurtful, the court seems to have deliberately let him hurt Xia envoy like this.

Gao Yi just said such vile words with good reasons and no need to take responsibility.

"Wu Zhengshi, don't compare! You see, the Liao envoy is also an envoy, and Fan Lou is also an envoy. Xia envoys are also envoys, but Zuixianlou is also an envoy. In other words, baijiu is wine, and rice wine is also an envoy." Wine... come here, Wu Zhengshi, let's drink rice wine!"

As for Gao Yi's smiling and disgusting words, who is in the mood to have a feast?
Moreover, when the Northern Liao Mission left, the State of Song actually held a grand farewell ceremony, and invited Wu Zong to attend...

What's even more damning is that Song Liao also made a high-profile announcement of the covenant to reopen the market to promote the wool trade.

Wu Zong felt that he was slapped in the face, and he was beaten back and forth by both Song and Liao on the left and right.

"Grand Envoy, it seems that the Song Dynasty has no intention of selling wool crafts?"

"Hey, I said Wu Zhengshi, that's what I said. We've been talking about war horses for a while now, and I thought you guys were teased by Beiliao."

Wu Zong is so aggrieved!I really want to kill this officer with a scimitar!

"High envoy, I have to leave!"

"Okay, I will report to the imperial court. However, Wu Zhengshi, since you are leaving, my mission as the embassy's escort will be completed. Let's leave it alone, and there will be a period later..."

It's finally a deal.

On the same day, Gao Yi reported the whole process to Zhengshitang, including the dialogue between them.

Of course, the meaning has not changed, but the tone and wording have changed.

The next day, Honglu Temple sent an accompanying envoy to Duting Xiyi... Aren't you leaving?OK, I'll send someone to take you off.

ceremony?If I think too much, I will simply take over as an envoy.

What is an insult, this is an insult.It is said that there is no harm if there is no comparison. It is a real insult to Xixia that Beiliao and Xixia have very different reception specifications in such a close time.

When Zhao Xi heard the news, he had to admire the literati's style of doing things.

If these civil servants really set their goals and start doing things, they will really do everything they can.

The series of operations after Yue Dou seemed to be more irritating than Yue Dou killing the fifty Xixia people.
