"Foreign Minister Erlu Lu (Tian Huairong), respectfully asks the Emperor of the Song Dynasty that His Majesty, His Majesty, is fine!"

Zhao Xu was sitting on the throne of Chongzheng Hall, looking at the two envoys in front of him, wearing the costumes of party nobles.

To be honest, he had long forgotten that these two Xixia envoys had angered him in his previous life.

Now I see you again without any impression.

So, I couldn't help but take a second look.

Xuan Lalu and Tian Huairong seemed to be about the same age - about thirty years old.

Their dress is almost exactly the same as the donors on the Xixia murals discovered by Zhao Xu in the modern Mogao Grottoes and other places.

They all wore red robes with round collars and narrow sleeves, and tall felt hats with their skirts tied to the right.

The biggest difference between the two is their appearance.

Helulu has obvious characteristics of Hu people.

The bridge of the nose is slightly high, the eye sockets are deep, and the facial contour features are obvious.

Obviously, this is due to the characteristics of the Dangxiang people who have been intermarrying with various ethnic groups in the northwest for a long time.

Tian Huairong has a very obvious Han appearance.

Zhao Xu put down his Chinese book and asked in the palace: "How is King Xia?"

Xianlulu immediately bowed and said: "With the love and care of His Majesty, the Great Emperor of the Song Dynasty, my Lord has always been well."

"That's good!" Zhao Xu chuckled.

Xuan Lalu's eyelids suddenly twitched.

He glanced at the important civil and military officials of the Southern Barbarians who were standing in the hall and were dressed in purple.

I found that these people were all respectful and respectful in front of the little emperor sitting in the palace.

There was no one around or behind the little emperor who was giving guidance or quietly teaching him how to speak.

Xuanluo swallowed.

"It seems that the legend is true!"

"The little emperor of the Southern Barbarians is almost like the young Emperor Jingzong!"

"If this is the case, we cannot treat it as a child."

The Dangxiang people are a very realistic nation.

If it's not realistic, they won't be able to survive.

Therefore, Xuanluo quickly adjusted his mentality.

He even started to hypnotize himself.

He directly replaced the little emperor sitting on the couch as Emperor Jingzong (for Dangxiang people, especially those from the Weiming family, Li Yuanhao's status was roughly equivalent to that of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, a great hero of the epoch-making level).

The voice of the little emperor on the throne continued to be heard.

"I have already read the credentials of King Xia."

"The King of Xia is determined to abandon his old evils, return to the right path, restore old friendship with the Song Dynasty, maintain the border between the two countries, and strengthen trade between the two countries..."

"Recognizing your mistakes can greatly improve things!"

"I appreciate King Xia's attitude very much, and I should satisfy King Xia's request."

Listening to this, Xuan Lalu's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.

Because this little Nanman emperor is so daddy!

He was talking to him in a completely condescending manner, as if I were lecturing his son.

Rebellious son!

You did something wrong before, but now that you know your mistake, you know how to ask for mercy.

Dad is not an unreasonable person.

I'm still willing to give you a chance.

But you have to cherish it!

Partial birth, the law of error cannot occur.

Because what the little emperor said was high-sounding.

At least on the surface it's hard to fault.

The Song Dynasty was the theoretical suzerainty of the Dabai Gao Kingdom.

The suzerain country is very paternal in front of the vassal countries.

Xuan Lalu could only lower his head and pretend to be docile.

If you suffer a little loss on your mouth, just suffer a little loss.

Before coming, Xianlulu had fully understood the mission of this mission from the Prime Minister - that he was here to get benefits.

Dabai Gaoguo hopes that Nanman will open more border markets.

I also hope that the Southern Barbarians can allow the green salt of Dabai Gao Kingdom to enter more places for sale.

At the same time, we also hope to open another store in Bianjing to sell specialties from Hexi, Lingxia, and the Western Regions.

For example, jade, or fur.

If possible, it would be best to obtain the Nanman's consent to sell grain.

The drought last year and this year caused many small and medium-sized tribes in the country, especially the Hengshan tribes, to fall into famine. Many small tribes even fled to Xihe in the Southern Barbarians.

This shows that Xihe in the Southern Barbarians has a lot of food.

Therefore, Youlu Lu suppressed the discomfort in his heart, bowed and said with a smile that was uglier than crying: "His Majesty the Great Emperor's moral teachings, foreign ministers will tell our king..."

The little emperor on the throne just smiled and did not answer his words. Instead, he lightly tapped the table in front of the throne.

"Does the King of Xia really want to make peace with the Song Dynasty?" he asked, his childish voice full of distrust.

"I sincerely wish to restore old friendship with the Song Dynasty!" Xianluo lowered his head and replied in as gentle a tone as possible: "Therefore, the king, the queen mother and the prime minister of the country specially ordered the foreign ministers to report to the Song Dynasty.

Your Majesty, the Emperor, would like to present five hundred horses to the good people to help the Song Dynasty raise horses..."

"In addition, I also presented pearls, jade, furs and other items to bring glory to the Holy Festival of Her Majesty the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty..."

"Okay!" The little emperor on the throne laughed: "That's it!"

"Your Majesty, please go down first. I will report King Xia's good intentions to the Cisheng of the two palaces."

"This..." Xuanluo Lu swallowed his saliva and bowed: "The foreign minister begged to see Her Majesty the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty in person, kowtow and say hello! And I, the Queen Mother, personally wrote a congratulatory form, and presented it to the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty.

His Majesty!"

This was the most important task of his trip - to pay a personal visit to the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty and convey the congratulations written by the Empress Dowager from Xingqing Mansion.

This was something that Liang Yibu, the Prime Minister of the country, personally explained to him.

It is to do everything possible to gain benefits from Nanman.

The more the merrier!

At the same time, it also paralyzes the Southern Barbarians and prepares them for the advance after this autumn.

Yes!

Xingqing Mansion has already made up its mind.

Use the bow, arrow and saber in your hand to beg money from the Nanman.

This was a direct decision from Prime Minister Liang Yibu.

It was also the joint decision of all the major tribes in Xixia, including Wei Mingjia.

The reason is simple - why are the Southern Barbarians willing to give three million Guanjiao sons to the Northern Barbarians every year?

Because the Northern Barbarians' cavalry was very strong, the Southern Barbarians were afraid of the Northern Barbarians' cavalry going south, so they chose to spend money to buy peace.

Then here comes the problem.

Why don't the Southern Barbarians even give millions of Guanjiao sons to Dabai and Gaoguo?

He even refused to give the annual gift that Jingzong promised when he negotiated peace!

As soon as this question came to the minds of various party departments, the blood pressure of countless people suddenly rose.

Everyone has decided to give Nanman a good time this fall.

Let the southern barbarians experience their bows, arrows and sabers - I understand that the cavalry of the Gao Kingdom is no worse than the northern barbarians!

So, just give me the money obediently.

Give us money and we won't hit you.

However, the little emperor on the throne did not agree to his request.

"That's not necessary."

"The congratulatory form of the King and Queen Mother of Xia will be sent to the Ministry of Rites by your envoy, and the Ministry of Rites will forward it to the Queen Mother."
