Fang Zian smiled and said, "I just made a wild guess."

Xiao Yu looked at the paintings on the wall and sneered: "You can't just guess about some things. It's not good for you to be nosy."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "It's just casual chatting. Prime Minister Xiao doesn't like me talking too much, so I won't talk too much. I didn't expect Prime Minister Xiao to be taboo about this topic."

Xiao Yu said in a deep voice: "It's not a taboo, I. The world of Dajin is derived from the Liao Kingdom. Eighty percent of Dajin is descended from the Liao Kingdom. So what's the taboo? Just like your Song Dynasty, the land of the Central Plains belongs to me, Dajin.

, the people of the Central Plains are also my subjects of Dajin, and they were also your subjects of the Song Dynasty. This is the truth. I am originally a descendant of the Xi clan of the Liao Kingdom, what's so strange about this?"

Fang Zian smiled and said: "That's the reason. I'm not surprised that Prime Minister Xiao is a descendant of the Liao people, but because Prime Minister Xiao is the right prime minister of the Jin Kingdom, with a status below one person and above ten thousand people, and yet he still hangs a hanging in his own home.

The paintings with poems written by Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Kingdom are what I find strange."

Xiao Yu trembled and sneered: "Master Fang, what do you want to say?"

Fang Zian smiled and said: "It's nothing. I suddenly remembered a poem, which was written by Yelu Bei, the son of Taizu of Liao Dynasty. The poem said: The small mountains are overwhelming the big mountains, and the big mountains are powerless. I am ashamed to see the people in my hometown, and I will surrender from now on.

Foreign."

Xiao Yu's eyes became sharp and he said coldly: "Master Fang, I remind you once again to pay attention to your identity and your words. If you want to make trouble in our country, I'm afraid you don't have the ability. That's just a picture

It's just a painting, just like a famous painting painted by a famous craftsman of the Tang Dynasty hanging in your Song Dynasty officials' homes. It's just an antique calligraphy and painting, just for appreciation. If I had known that you Song Dynasty people were jealous and suspicious and engaged in literary inquisition, I still wouldn't believe it.

. Only today did I know that this is true. The reason why the Song Dynasty is what it is today is that you all focus your energy on such things. You don’t do business every day and only think about doing these crooked things. I, Dajin, are not like you.

I, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, am wise and brave, and I am frank and frank with my subordinate officials. Even if I showed this painting in front of the emperor, I, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty, would never think twice about it."

Fang Zian nodded and smiled: "Prime Minister Xiao, I just apologize to you. I didn't mean anything else, it was just a casual conversation. You can just think that what I said was just farts. Why are you so excited? Of course you are different from us in the Song Dynasty.

, you, the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, are so enlightened. You did not engage in such nonsense as one emperor and one courtier, nor did you engage in such nonsense as the purge of the clan. The throne was passed down steadily, everyone abided by the rules, and no one exceeded them. You, the Jin Dynasty,

The emperor was also benevolent and kind. He would never bully men and dominate women, and he also loved and cared for you subordinate officials. Hahaha, we in the Song Dynasty are far behind."

Xiao Yu's face was as gloomy as the sky before a snowstorm. What Fang Zian said were all irony and sarcasm. When he said an apology, it was actually more vicious than a curse. That's because what Fang Zian said

They are all lies, and they are all things that happened in the Kingdom of Jin that were too dirty to be told to others. Fang Zian said that the throne of the Kingdom of Jin has been passed down firmly and that no one has violated the rules, which is a mockery of Wan Yanliang's usurpation of the throne.

He said that the Jin Kingdom did not engage in clan purges, but in fact Wanyan Liang carried out a brutal purge of the Jin clan after he came to the throne. Wanyan Zongben, Wanyan Zongyi, Bingde and other descendants of Jin Taizong, and even the descendants of Qin King Wanyan Zonghan

Nearly two hundred people were eradicated, and nearly a thousand officials and accomplices were killed. The cruel and ferocious methods were horrifying. Xiao Yu was involved in planning the usurpation of the throne and the purge of the clan. Saying these things in front of Xiao Yu was tantamount to

The big mouth slapped Xiao Yu in the face. How could Xiao Yu not know that Fang Zian

Everything he said was ironic.

As for Wanyan Liang's benevolence, righteousness and kindness, that is simply a great irony. To the subjects of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Liang was a ferocious existence, and could not be compared with the four words benevolence, righteousness and kindness. Wanyan

Liang Huang was extremely lewd and arrogant, like a demon in his lust. He would get his hands on any woman he liked, whether she was the wife, daughter of a minister or someone with any other status. In order to get the woman he liked, he would not hesitate to do so.

They killed their husbands on frame-up charges and then brought her into the palace. Regardless of seniority and status, regardless of age, they could do whatever they pleased, which can be called a typical example of cruelty and debauchery. Of course, Xiao Yu knew these things clearly.

In fact, Xiao Yu's youngest daughter was only thirteen years old. Because she was quite beautiful, she was attracted by Wan Yanliang. Wan Yanliang ignored Xiao Yu's help and took her away without ceremony. Pity the thirteen-year-old

Xiao Waner could not bear the torture and died in the harem. This was the most humiliating and painful thing in Xiao Yu's heart.

Fang Zian said that Wan Yanliang was benevolent and kind. Wasn't that sarcasm and ridicule? This also evoked the suppressed pain and anger, humiliation and hatred in Xiao Yu's heart.

"Master Fang, it seems that you don't want to eat this meal. I kindly invite you two to the banquet to cleanse the dust for you. Master Fang is so sinister and sarcastic. What's the reason? Come and see the guests off."

Xiao Yu shouted in a deep voice.

Shi Hao cupped his hands and said, "Prime Minister Xiao, please don't take offense. Deputy Fang is young and doesn't know what to say. I hope you can forgive me. I apologize to you on his behalf. We were rude today. Please forgive me. Zian, what are you doing?"

But you were rude to the Prime Minister? You still haven't apologized?"

Fang Zian hurriedly raised his hands and said: "My fault, Prime Minister Xiao, there are so many people, don't mind. We are all here, the food and wine are on the table, how can you drive us away? If word spreads, won't people say that Prime Minister Xiao has no sense?"

Eat, eat. How about I punish myself with three drinks?"

Fang Zian sat down at the table, picked up the jug, poured himself three glasses of wine, drank it down in one breath, and praised: "Good wine, good wine. This must be the famous wolf wine of your Jin country, right?"

It’s really powerful. When I drink it, I feel like a wolf and a tiger. It’s great, it’s great.”

Xiao Yu looked at Fang Zian speechlessly and thought to himself: Why did the Song Dynasty send such a shameless person? I even said that I was seeing off the guests, but he still didn't leave. He even went to the table and started drinking. However,

Xiao Yu didn't really want to have a fight, he was just expressing his dissatisfaction. Since Fang Zian gave in, Xiao Yu would not really drive them away.

As soon as the three of them sat down, Xiao Yu calmed down and invited Shi Hao and Fang Zian to drink and eat.

After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Xiao Yu said: "You two, I am deeply sorry for what happened when I had an audience with Emperor Dajin today. Although today's banquet is my private banquet, I can represent the emperor on my behalf."

I would like to express my apologies to you two. After all, I, Emperor Dajin, am the emperor, and I cannot ask him to apologize to you. But in fact, the emperor is only investigating the facts, not deliberately making things difficult for your envoys. This section must be made clear to you.

The two noble envoys will not be unhappy because of this matter."

Shi Hao smiled and said: "Prime Minister Xiao is overthinking. There are constant disputes between the Song Dynasty and your Jin Kingdom, and the border has never been peaceful. It is normal for some harassment to occur. It is reasonable for your lord to be suspicious of us.

Now it has been proven that my mission has nothing to do with it, so let this matter go. Now we should immediately start negotiations to resolve the dispute between the two countries as soon as possible, eliminate the differences and hostility between the two sides, and perhaps restore peace to the border.

Prime Minister Xiao, I suggest that we start negotiations tomorrow."

Xiao Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master Shi, don't be in a hurry. The negotiation is over.

There is no need to rush the matter. It will not be too late for us to start again after I, Emperor Dajin, issue the decree. The two noble envoys can stay here and rest for a few days. I will take the time to accompany you to visit my Yanjing Mansion these days.

This will save you from being upset. Besides, when the officials of the Dajin court heard about your arrival, they all lined up to invite you to a banquet and make friends, so you will be very busy."

Shi Hao frowned and said: "Prime Minister Xiao, it was you who proposed to amend the agreement between the two countries. Why are you not active at all when we come to discuss it? What's the reason? Deputy Ambassador Fang and I came all the way here just to resolve this matter.

Please go back as soon as possible. Instead of coming here to attend various banquets hosted by your princes and ministers."

Xiao Yu raised his glass and said with a smile: "Master Shi, I understand how you feel. However, wouldn't it be good to stay in Dajin? We treat you like honored guests. Isn't this better than you meeting the Song Dynasty? As far as I know, the two of you are in your country.

In the imperial court... I'm afraid things are not going as well as they should. Your Prime Minister Qin Hui, Lord Qin... does he want you to go back?"

Shi Hao and Fang Zian were both stunned. They glanced at each other and thought: There is something in Xiao Yu's words. Could it be that there was some connection between him and Qin Hui? Could it be that Qin Hui had already known him to deal with him? He said he wanted him

What does it mean to stay in the Kingdom of Jin? Could it be that they are being held under house arrest to prevent the mission from leaving?

"Prime Minister Xiao knows a lot. Does Prime Minister Xiao know me, Prime Minister of Song Dynasty and Qin Dynasty?" Fang Zian asked in a deep voice.

Xiao Yu smiled and shook his head, looking at Fang Zian with bright eyes and said: "I don't know your Prime Minister Qin. I just heard of his name. However, Prime Minister Qin of your country does have many acquaintances in Dajin. I heard that back then

Prime Minister Qin once stayed in my country, Daijin, and he is quite popular and has many acquaintances. My late Marshal of the Army, Lord Zuo Jianjun Wan Yanchang of Daijin, was very familiar with him. It is said that Prime Minister Qin of your country is still here.

I once served as an official. Hahaha, isn’t it interesting? The prime minister of your country was actually a minister of my Kingdom of Jin.”

Fang Zian's heart was clear. He knew that Xiao Yu's words like this must be an allusion. Perhaps he even knew that Qin Hui's purpose in this trip was to kill himself and Mr. Shi. If Xiao Yu was the person entrusted by Qin Hui,

Then I am afraid that the situation for myself and Mr. Shi will be bad. So today's banquet is undoubtedly the Hongmen Banquet. Maybe as soon as I go out, I will be ambushed by a large number of enemies and die on the long street.

"It is indeed very interesting. We have heard about this a little bit. But it is not surprising. Back then, your Jin Kingdom invaded our Song Dynasty and robbed many officials of our Song Dynasty. People in your Jin Kingdom had to bow their heads under the eaves.

, some of them became officials of the Kingdom of Jin, but it was nothing. For example, the Prime Minister of Qin, although he became an official of the Kingdom of Jin, his heart was drawn to the Song Dynasty, so he finally fled the Kingdom of Jin and returned to the Song Dynasty, becoming our Great Song Dynasty.

The pillar of the Song Dynasty, this is also a good story." Fang Zian said with a smile.

Xiao Yu stroked his beard and nodded and said: "Yes, it is really a beautiful story. Hahaha. I feel admiration after listening to it. Putting aside the position, Prime Minister Qin is devoted to the south, with such integrity... Hahaha, it is really rare. What a pity.

I, Daikin, have lost a talented person.”

Fang Zian smiled and said: "You have a lot of talented people in the Jin Kingdom. For example, Prime Minister Xiao is a hero among people and a top national scholar. In the south, we have the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty and Qin Dynasty, and in the north, we have Prime Minister Xiao of the Jin Kingdom. There are really talented people coming out in large numbers these days.

, the storm is raging. It’s a pity that Prime Minister Xiao and Prime Minister Qin don’t know each other. If the two of them could know each other, it would be a great story. It’s a pity that you don’t know each other.”
