Yeluju looked at the memorial that he had revised five times.

He breathed a sigh of relief, sealed it with fire paint, and then called a confidant to hand the memorial to him, saying: "Send it to the emperor in the capital immediately!"

When Liao envoys were in the Song Dynasty, their activities would be strictly restricted.

But according to the covenant, correspondence exchanges are not restricted.

Of course, the speed is slower. From Bianjing to Shangjing, it would take more than ten days at the fastest.

But Yeluju felt that he could afford to wait, and he had to wait until he came to Beijing to reply!

This is a huge future!

…

On the other side of Dutingyi.

The Xixia envoy, named Mo Duo, untied his left lapel irritably.

Bianjing is too hot!

He can't stand the heat!

However, the Southern Barbarian monarchs and ministers in Bianjing still did not notify him to enter the palace.

It made him even more irritated!

The most irritating thing was what he had just heard.

The Southern Barbarians and the Northern Dynasties seemed to be negotiating a new alliance!

The covenant seems to involve three million copper coins! (The information he can get is limited, so it is impossible to know the whole story)

Three million strings!

What does Nanmanzi want to do?

Are you going to ask the Northern Dynasties to deal with Dabai Gaoguo together?

This made Wei Ming Mo Duo begin to bear tremendous psychological pressure!

He knew very well that even when Emperor Jingzong (Li Yuanhao) was still alive, the Dabai Gao Kingdom would not dare, much less be able to offend the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Dynasties at the same time.

At that time, when the Northern Dynasty invaded the Dabai Gao Kingdom, Jingzong immediately sought peace with the Southern Barbarians.

Then he turned back and fought against the Northern Dynasties.

Even so, it was just a matter of luck and I managed to win by luck.

Moreover, after winning the battle, he immediately asked for peace and surrender.

This was true for the Dabai Gao Kingdom during the reign of Emperor Jingzong, let alone the current Dabai Gao Kingdom?

"No!" Weiming Moduo said, "I must write a letter back to my country and report this matter to the Queen Mother!"

"If the Southern Barbarians and the Northern Dynasties really join forces, the Dabai Gao Kingdom will be in danger!"

In his understanding, the Nanbarbarians were willing to spend three million yuan a year to the Northern Dynasty, and they must have asked the Northern Dynasty to attack the Dabai Gao Kingdom together.

Otherwise, are the Southern Barbarians stupid? Taking money and not treating it as money?

Even if the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother of the Southern Barbarians were stupid, the Southern Barbarian ministers would not do such a thing!

Therefore, there is only one truth: the destruction of Dabai Gao Kingdom!

…

Wen Yanbo's Mansion.

The Grand Master of the Song Dynasty also let out a sigh of relief after hearing Wen Yiqing's description: "This young master... can be said to be as talented as a king, and as wise as Han Ming..."

The consistency of what he said about Jiaozi was already perfect in Wen Yanbo's eyes.

The rest is all details.

For example, anti-counterfeiting, issuance method, reserve redemption process and where and when to redeem...

And these things should not be considered by the emperor.

Even the emperor only needs to come up with a feasible idea and all other ministers will be responsible.

Otherwise, the emperor must do everything by himself, so what do you want the prime minister to do?!

So Wen Yanbo stood up and walked to the inner house. He wanted to see his wife Wang.

Let Wang enter the palace on the Kuncheng Festival the day after tomorrow and bring some words to Thirteen Niangs.

…

The next day, Ding Wei (fifteenth day).

Zhao Xu had just finished his breakfast when Feng Jing came to report: "Everyone, Hanlin scholar Deng Runfu has just submitted a message, requesting the emperor to stand alone!"

"Ask Bachelor Deng to wait in the main hall of Chongzheng Hall. I will be there in a moment!" Zhao Xu ordered.

Now, with the support of the Empress Dowager Xiang and the tacit consent of the Empress Dowager, Zhao Xu has obtained all the power to summon ministers alone.

This is the authority that uses Shen Kuo as a gap, widens the gap bit by bit, and gradually gets involved.

So far, he has actually obtained this power.

The Secretary of Tongjian no longer sent the memorials requested by the ministers to be reviewed or submitted to Baoci Palace first, but directly to Funing Palace.

Both palaces are very relieved about this.

Because Zhao Xu would take the initiative to tell them about summoning the minister and the minister's letter.

Through his performance, Zhao Xu convinced both palaces that he was capable of doing well and could handle these things.

Of course, very few people know about this now.

Except for the people around Zhao Xu and Shen Kuo, there was Deng Runfu.

This is the result of Zhao Xu's deliberate control.

He is still young and is growing up. Although his mind is mature and his skills are sufficient to control the officials, he is not physically ready yet.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhao Xu, escorted by Yulong Zuozhi, arrived at the Chongzheng Hall.

Deng Runfu was already waiting in the palace. When he saw Zhao Xu entering the palace, he greeted Zhao Xu respectfully with his hand: "I respectfully welcome the official..."

Zhao Xu sat on the throne, looked at Deng Runfu, and asked: "Scholar Deng, but what I entrusted to the bachelor before has come to fruition?"

Deng Runfu bowed respectfully and said: "Reporting to the official's house, since I received the imperial edict in June Ding Hai (25th), I have been working day and night with the Academy of Academicians. Fortunately, I have fulfilled my order and have begun to formulate a sample letter, begging to enter the imperial palace..."

Zhao Xu said happily: "Submit it quickly, I want to read it myself!"

But in my heart, I felt somewhat disappointed.

The radicals in Yushitai actually stopped chasing him like they did in his previous life.

What a pity! What a pity!

It was a good nest, but no fish came into it.

Both Wang Zhan and Liu Zhi were able to endure it!

This makes Zhao Xu really disappointed!

Because, if they insist on reading Zhao Xu's "Shuo Zi", then today is the day they die!

Deng Runfu didn't know this. He took out a thick bound book from his sleeve, presented it respectfully in his hand, and said: "I follow the imperial edict, follow the old story of Xu Shen of the Han Dynasty, and think of it as a dictionary..."

"Now we have begun to achieve results. We have recorded 2,716 commonly used characters, more than 3,000 allusions, poems, and sources..."

"With the meaning of the imperial edict, the radicals are used as the index, the number of strokes is used as the order, and the pages are updated with numbers as the page numbers..."

"There are seven volumes of compiled books. This is the sample of the first volume. I beg your Majesty to read it!"

Zhao Xu was very happy.

Feng Jing walked up to Deng Runfu, took the book from his hand, and then respectfully presented it to the emperor.

Zhao Xu picked it up and put it in front of him to admire.

Deng Runfu was a smart man. After Zhao Xu ordered and personally confirmed that it was a Holy Day gift to the Cishengs of the Two Palaces.

Therefore, this bound book is very particular.

The cover is woven from silk and embellished with gold patterns.

On it, four vertical characters were embroidered with gold thread: Yuanyou Dictionary!

Opening the book, the paper inside is made of high-quality rice paper.

Flawless white, crystal clear.

The characters in it are in the standard Guange font written by Deng Runfu himself.

Each one's handwriting was correct and according to Zhao Xu's request and the template given to him, he first listed the index page of the radicals.

Because it is a gift project to be carried out in time for the Empress Dowager’s Holy Day tomorrow.

Therefore, only commonly used words, general definitions and more famous allusions are listed, as well as official rhymes and phonetic words.
