"Then..." Zhao Dongting smiled, "Since the envoy has no other request, I will issue an order to the Ministry of State.

From now on, your Gao Kingdom will be a middle vassal state of my Song Dynasty.

As long as you always depend on our Great Song Dynasty, those who bully you, the Great Song Dynasty will bully me."

Of course, Jin Qingfang felt a lot of bitterness in his heart, but when he heard Zhao Dongting's words, he felt much more comfortable.

Although the State of Song wants to station troops in Gao State, and although the State of Song still needs 20% of the taxes per year, as long as the State of Gao State can obtain "protected" by Song State, it will be able to obtain peace from short to dozens of years.

It's not considered a loss-making business.

And at least the royal family of King Gao is still there, and the previous ministers are still there.

Emperor Song had no intention of interfering in high internal affairs.

A high country is still a country.

Even if you take a step back, this is always countless times better than becoming a lower-class vassal state that has no autonomy and the royal family is in name only?

"I will give you my best wishes to the Emperor of Heaven in my place."

After coming back to his senses, Jin Qingfang bowed deeply to Zhao Dongting.

Jin Qingze and several envoys next to him also hurriedly followed him to salute.

Overall, this trip was easy.

Although the words they bargained with Zhao Dongting that they had made many drafts before were useless, the reason was that Zhao Dongting did not cross the bottom line of their high country.

The pain of flesh is due to flesh pain, and of course it is a good thing to say.

Even if you really put aside the self-esteem in your heart, it is a happy thing for everyone.

"State Order."

Zhao Dongting looked at Lu Xiufu and said, "After the scattered dynasty, you will draft an edict to take Gaoguo as a middle vassal state of our Song Dynasty in the name of the royal family of the Song Dynasty and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the State Council.

Give assistance to the vassal states.”

"I obey the order."

Lu Xiufu agreed.

The ministers in the hall all had smiles on their faces.

Gaoguo is nothing, but he traveled thousands of miles to the Song Dynasty to surrender, which is a manifestation of the strong power of the Song Dynasty.

Everyone will feel a sense of pride in their hearts.

Especially the ministers present, the Song Dynasty was able to develop to this level in a short period of time, which was inseparable from them.

Who can be in this hall is useless, who is not a person who has worked hard and made great contributions to the Song Dynasty.

Eunuch Qian asked Zhao Dongting with his eyes. Seeing that Zhao Dongting had no intention of speaking again, he sang sharply: "If you have something to do, start a song...If you have nothing to do, go back to court..." After the sound of long live, the ministers walked outside.

They are now completely accustomed to Zhao Dongting's method.

When there is something, all or part of Xuan went to the Chongzheng Hall or the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters. When there is nothing to do, they were busy, which really saved a lot of effort and effort.

On this day, Gao Guo’s envoys did not rush to leave Changsha.

After leaving Chongzheng Hall and leaving the palace to Wanguoyuan on the southwest corner of Changsha, there was no movement.

There are envoys from other countries in Wanguoyuan, and there is no exchange between them.

There are too many vassal states of the Song Dynasty, and there are too many countries that have had good friends with the Song Dynasty or have established diplomatic relations. There are often envoys from other countries in the Wanguo Garden.

Nearly night, the two father and son of the Jin family appeared outside the door of Lu Xiufu's mansion with two followers.

They reached the point, and Lu Xiufu, who had just returned from the palace, stepped into the house before they came to visit him.

Obviously, this father and son are also characters who are proficient in human relationships and worldly styles.

It is true that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty had supreme prestige, but it was not the State Councilor Lu Xiufu, who was the one who really presided over the support for Gaoguo?

Perhaps he could just let go of his mouth, so that Gao Guo could get unthinkable benefits.

Jin Qingfang also had a status in Gaoguo like Lu Xiufu in the Song Dynasty, and he was even more than that, but he never felt ashamed of anything he needed to visit Lu Xiufu.

Lu Xiufu was also good at doing good things and soon asked someone to invite the Jin family and his son in.

They didn't talk about the conversation in the mansion, and Lu Xiufu did not leave the Jin family's father and son to have dinner in the mansion, but Jin Qingfang and Jin Qingze looked quite relaxed when they came out, and they obviously had a good conversation.

The next day alone, the Gao Kingdom's envoy sent a letter to Zhao Dongting to resign, and then left Changsha.

...Kuizhou Road, Kuizhou Prefecture.

It is next to the Hubei Road, and the journey from Kuizhou Prefecture to Jiangling Prefecture is not far away.

Kuizhou Prefecture, which flows by the Minjiang River, is obviously a place with good scenery. If it comes to Feng Shui, it is also very good.

At the beginning, after Zhao Dongting abolished all the fiefs of the royal relatives of the Song Dynasty, he asked the princes of the Song Dynasty to choose their own places.

The royal family gives them fixed living expenses every year, and then lets them work in the royal industry.

King Jian Zhao Xu chose Jiangling Mansion.

And there is a prince who chose this Kuizhou Prefecture.

After moving the royal palace to Kuizhou Prefecture, he also served as the chairman of the Kuizhou Prefecture Royal Limin Bank.

Within two years, due to his outstanding performance, he was promoted to the chairman of the entire Song Dynasty Limin Bank.

Of course, his ability may not be that outstanding, and Zhao Dongting was helpless to get taller from a shorter person.

It is impossible to scatter the royal industries in various places. When this is still in its infancy, it will be left to people outside the royal family to take care of.

This prince is two years older than Zhao Xu.

His name is Zhao Ge and his title is King Xi.

At this moment, in the palace of Prince Xi.

Zhao Ge held the letter in his hand, not knowing what it was, which made his face quite gloomy.
