Chapter 105 Repaying Debt (Eight Thousand)

If there are no sacrifices, the Hening Gate will never be opened during the New Year or during major court meetings.

Everyone can only go to court through Donghua Gate, and the official road in the middle is naturally closed to people.

But today, many people are staring at the imperial city of the Song Dynasty.

Not to mention the envoys from other countries who watched the Jin envoys coming out from the Sifang Pavilion, the official envoys from the three provinces and six ministries who were not qualified to go to court, the local officials who went to Lin'an for business or to report on their duties, the gate guards in the east, west, south, and north, and the ones stationed around Lin'an.

The three yamen imperial guards...one by one, their ears perked up.

Whenever someone says something about 'golden man' or 'imperial palace', they will immediately get a lot of attention.

If we look at the tiles, the inland rivers, the temples and public squares, the restaurants, and the imperial eunuchs, everyone is still busy with what they should be busy with.

A busy life, a busy life, a busy life, a busy life, and a busy life...

Life is like this, even if the sky falls, you still have to live your life how you want to.

Everyone understood it, but they all maintained a wonderful tacit understanding.

No one said anything, everyone knew, and they were all waiting for the exact news to come from the palace.

On May 1st, the 11th year of Shaoxing, the sun was shining brightly.

After the peace talks three years ago, Zhang Tonggu once again set foot on this avenue, which can directly lead to the imperial palace and enter the Daqing Hall.

If he is from the Song Dynasty and takes this path, it means that he is at least a high-ranking official;

If he is a student, if he takes this path, he will be on the road to heaven.

But he is a golden minister and a capable golden minister.

Same as Yaoshi Guo, but a little different.

Pharmacist Guo was born in the resentful army of the Liao Kingdom. He was a serious Jinshi of the Liao Dynasty, and became a Privy Councilor of the Liao Kingdom all the way. Pharmacist Guo defected from the Liao Dynasty to the Song Dynasty. He refused the call of the Song Dynasty after the death of the Liao Dynasty;

Guo Yaoshi fell into the trap of being killed by all the victorious troops by investing in gold, and he invested in gold...Both Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Wushu valued him very much. Now he is not only the chief performer of the Privy Council of the Kingdom of Jin, but also

He also served as the minister of the Ministry of Industry of the Kingdom of Jin.

In fact, Zhang Tonggu once asked himself, if he had followed Tong Guan's call and became an official of the Song Dynasty, where would he have been?

Or, with the Zhao family and his son being kidnapped to the north, they became human slaves;

Or... the faces of Qin Hui, Wang Boyan and others appeared in his mind, which was nothing more than four words:

Stinking for eternity.

He was wearing the official uniform of the Kingdom of Jin, a purple robe, a red black rhinoceros belt around his waist, a bright goldfish bag hanging on his waist, swaying with his footsteps, and a pure gauze without wings on his head.

Futou...

If no one said anything, no one would be able to connect this person with a senior official of the Jin Kingdom.

Naturally, the conspicuous left lapel always reminds everyone that no matter how similar this person is dressed, he is not from the Song Dynasty.

The Imperial Guards on both sides of the avenue were solemn. As soon as they entered the palace gate, the trumpet sounded again... The blowing of the trumpet not only welcomed me, but also reminded the emperor and Song ministers in the Daqing Palace,

The Jin people have arrived.

Liu Bang was almost dozing off... He couldn't treat Chen Miaochang badly these days. When he was free, he had to be pestered by Wang Chan to tutor him.

Plus the other concubines and female officials in the harem who were eyeing her,

Alas, wine and sex spoil the country!

"The envoy of the Great Jin Dynasty, the chief performer of the Privy Council, the executioner of the military prison, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the deputy of Zhongjing..."

Zhang Tonggu said a bunch of names while keeping his eyes fixed on the emperor above.

It is both disrespectful and provocative.

"Zhang Tonggu, the emissary of Jiangnan Province, has been ordered by our Lord to pay an audience to the Emperor of Song Dynasty!"

Forget the previous ones, this last sentence...

As soon as it started, the entire Daqing Hall almost exploded.

Jiangnan, what Jiangnan?

Instructions?

Emperor Song!

When the Qin Hui Dynasty emperor was canonized last time, the Song and Jin Dynasties were separated in terms of superiority and inferiority.

The Song Dynasty was only called the Song Dynasty, and the Jin Dynasty was called the Jin Dynasty; the leader of the Jin Dynasty was the emperor, but the leader of the Song Dynasty could not be called the emperor.

But I’ve said it before, that was last time.

After being humiliated last time, if the peace treaty is fulfilled, then we will accept it. After all, our emperor has already cooked the rice.

But since you Jin betrayed your alliance and are now licking your face to seek peace, how can you and how dare you!

Humiliation, absolutely humiliation.

A group of civil servants blushed with anger, veins popped up in Han Shizhong's neck, Liu Qi frowned, and Zhao Mi, who was in charge of the guard, subconsciously touched his waist... only to find that his saber was not there.

The two deputy envoys who came with Zhang Tonggu, Xiao Yi from the Liao Dynasty and Xing Juzhan from the Han Dynasty, faced the pressure from the civil and military forces of the Song Dynasty and could not help but take a breath.

Unlike Zhang Tonggu, they came here for the first time.

When he came, the gold master Qian warned him that peace should be the top priority during this trip and he must not anger the Emperor of Song Dynasty.

After all, they were defeated. If the people of Song Dynasty wanted to take revenge...can Daijin really still be invincible now?

But now, Zhengshi has annoyed everyone from the beginning... What should I do if I delay something big?

They were nervous, and Zhang Tonggu was equally nervous.

But the anger he received yesterday and his experience in dealing with the Zhao family told him:

This is what you should do, this is the right thing to do.

He kept staring at the emperor, observing his reaction.

After a while, Liu Bang let out a long yawn and stretched...

He admitted that he was a little distracted. He had been thinking about what he should do tonight, and then he thought about how to capture Zhongyu... This woman is a bit stubborn, should she use force... again? Later, I remembered something else.

All in all, he only reacted now.

But you can't blame him. Even though they could explain things clearly in just a few words when they met, these people insisted on waking him up early in the morning and put him into a royal robe... After a lot of trouble, He's already lost his energy.

Not falling asleep was Liu Bang's greatest respect for everyone present.

He also saw his ministers on both sides:

Old Su Fu's beard was blown up again, he always looked like this when he was angry; Lu Zai's brows were furrowed into several slits; even Zhao Mi and his group of warriors had a sinister expression on their faces.

Just wandering around, what's the point?!

Thinking that he was dissatisfied with his misbehavior and lost the face of the Song Dynasty, Liu Bang cleared his throat and said to the people below:

"Excuse me……"

Before everyone could react, he asked Zhang Tonggu again:

"What did you just say? Say it again."

Zhang Tonggu was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Prime Minister Qin on the side, only to see Qin Hui pointing at his head and shaking his head at him.

Remembering what he had said that the ninth son of the Zhao family had hurt his head, Zhang Tonggu swallowed his throat, and then he was ready to say:

"...Okay, okay, don't say those useless words, let's get down to business."

It’s a good idea to take retreat in order to advance!

Zhang Tonggu secretly praised him. He had stayed in the south for a long time and had really developed some skills.

After pretending to be deaf and dumb, I deliberately ignored this humiliation... hum.

But if you don’t even dare to deal with it, why should you think highly of yourself?

After clearing his throat, Zhang Tonggu took the letter from Xiao Yi:

"The Jin and Song Dynasties were originally harmonious neighbors separated by a strip of water. Since the maritime alliance, the two countries have been on good terms for 21 years."

"The peace treaty between the two countries was concluded three years ago. Although there were some misunderstandings along the way, fortunately our Lord is kind and for the sake of the livelihood of the world and the people of the two countries, we should continue to negotiate major peace matters."

"Except for the tedious details that need to be discussed again, the oath form that the Song Emperor presented last time was also given to us in a book this time. Therefore, I am here to carry out the ceremony of canonization."

As he spoke, Zhang Tonggu placed the certificate of credence in front of him. Everyone then noticed that on the plates held by the two deputy envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, what was clearly on the plate were crown crowns, pendants, treasures and jade albums.

Four things!

This is the canonization accessory specially prepared by the Kingdom of Jin for Emperor Zhao under the strong suggestion of Zhang Tonggu...

Everyone said it was useless, even Wanyan Wushu thought so.
To be continued...
