Chapter 050 Invite Duke Ouyang to visit our country!
Zhao Kuangyin, who was sitting in the palace, was very angry. He was angry when he thought that his descendants were being played by treacherous ministers. He had already beaten Zhao Gou, Qin Hui also followed him into the countryside, and Song Lizong Zhao Yun had also been taken seriously.
, but when the Yuan Dynasty almost drove them all out, they couldn't bear it anymore, so they turned on their mobile phones and informed Feng Hao that they were going to send troops to the north and asked them to hold a place in the south.
Just after solving Wang Mang's problem, another blood feud between the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty came. Feng Hao shrugged helplessly. It was almost November, and the weather had become colder. It was far from the Ming Dynasty to the Yuan Qing Dynasty.
The time for the official declaration of war is getting closer and closer. Just in time, since the Song Dynasty is also participating in the war, Feng Hao has no reason not to support it.
"Don't worry, brother, I'll support you from behind. Do you need me to send troops to cover you?" Feng Hao's tone showed that he really regarded Zhao Kuangyin as a brother, with a strong sense of "friendship"
Come up as soon as you say it.
"No, brother, just keep an eye on Yang Jian from the south. I'm not worried about Xiang Yu. They only focus on beating Liu Bang and won't take my side into consideration." Zhao Kuangyin understood very well that Xiang Yu is very simple, and Yang Jian and his son are not simple. Look at
He looks harmless, but in fact he has no idea what he is planning.
"Yeah." Zhao Kuangyin reminded him, and Feng Hao also cheered up. Although they had sent food, after all, the atmosphere of the Sui Dynasty would not be so willing to give up.
"That's it, if you have anything to do, leave me a message and I'll reply as soon as I see it." Just as Zhao Kuangyin was about to log off, Feng Hao suddenly remembered something and stopped Zhao Kuangyin.
Just now, Feng Hao suddenly thought of something. The news that Li Bai left the Tang Dynasty and traveled around the country had spread all over the country. Since there was no one in his country who could influence the country's culture, he wanted to let a writer from the Song Dynasty
Come and give them guidance.
"Brother, haven't I just founded the country? I only have fists and no brains, so I want to borrow someone from my brother so that our civil servants can study hard." Feng Hao said with some embarrassment.
"Hahaha, OK! Who do you want to borrow? Just say whatever you want." Zhao Kuangyin was much more pleased with Feng Hao's words, so he happily agreed to him and let him choose any literati from their country to guide Zhao Kingdom.
After a while...
Feng Hao thought for a while and found that there were many influential people in the Song Dynasty, so he simply signed up Ouyang Xiu to see if he could lend him someone. Ouyang Xiu's literary achievements were not bad either.
He also wrote famous prose such as "The Drunkard Pavilion" and "Yueyang Tower". The reason for choosing him was that Feng Hao admired him, so he wanted to borrow him to come and give guidance.
"I want to borrow Ouyang Xiu, but I don't know if my brother can borrow it." Feng Hao asked Zhao Kuangyin with a longing expression if he could lend Ouyang Xiu over. In his expectation, Zhao Kuangyin was too kind to refuse and agreed to him.
.
"Okay, I will issue an order immediately. You must not treat our scholars lightly." Zhao Kuangyin said with a serious expression.
Because this is related to the friendly relations between the two countries, if you treat our country's great writers slowly, then we will no longer be our friends. Therefore, in order to cherish this opportunity, Feng Hao ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the relevant reception ceremony.
Moreover, a grand state banquet will be held in the palace, and Ouyang Xiu must be treated with the courtesy of a state official. He must not be neglected.
Gao Yun, who had just been appointed as the Minister of Rites, received the news that Ouyang Xiu, a Hanlin scholar of the Song Dynasty, was about to visit Zhao State for friendly diplomatic exchanges. Gao Yun immediately informed his subordinates one by one about the dishes and ingredients that should be prepared for the state banquet.
Everything was handed over to the people in the imperial kitchen, and the venue for welcoming Ouyang Xiu was also set at the palace. The first stop they had to arrange was at the north gate of the capital. After all, they needed to greet him outside the city gate, and then they had to clear the way into the palace.
, how to go, how to go.
These things were well prepared under Gao Yun's assignment and orders, and everything was going on smoothly and step by step.
"Uncle Yong, I order you to handle your government affairs in the past few days and go to Zhao as an envoy in a few days." Zhao Kuangyin called Ouyang Xiu over and said.
"I obey." Ouyang Xiu didn't say much or ask too many questions. He only knew that he was probably here to maintain the friendly relations between the two countries, and he didn't want to know the specifics.
"I'm going to observe the situation in Zhao State more this time. Are they worthy of our establishing an alliance? If you can, send me a message immediately. If not, then come back quickly." Zhao Kuangyin had actually been prepared for Zhao State.
It had only been two months since the founding of the country, and it had become so popular that many countries had given gifts. He wanted to see if the Zhao Kingdom, which attracted the attention of many emperors, was worth his friendship.
"Yes." Ouyang Xiu nodded slightly. To put it bluntly, establishing friendship is all fake. I will be friends with whoever has real power.
As for the Kingdom of Zhao, the whole country was already very busy. Since the founding of the country was less than two months ago, gifts from many countries had arrived in the capital waiting to be received. Feng Hao personally drove there to meet the envoys who came to give gifts. He dealt with and
The relationship with the envoys was very appropriate, and some emotions were established with the envoys. After seeing them off, he handed over the gifts intact to the Ministry of Rites and asked them to spread them out and use them in the ceremony to receive Ouyang Xiu.
"Your Majesty, can a Hanlin scholar mobilize troops and mobilize people like this?" Chu Yuan asked with some confusion.
"That's not true. Ouyang Xiu was one of the top figures in the literary world of the Song Dynasty, and he also held a very important position in many countries. It is our greatest honor that Zhao Kuangyin sent Ouyang Xiu here this time." Feng Hao
In fact, it is a little regretful. Although he has so many elite soldiers and generals under his command, he does not have a writer or anything like that. Although Xie Lingyun is considered, but looking at the celebrities in these countries, Xie Lingyun's light is simply like a shooting star. In the past
It's gone.
All the civil servants nodded silently, but they also understood that Zhao Kuangyin would not simply send Ouyang Xiu here to establish a so-called friendship between the two countries, and Feng Hao did not simply invite Ouyang Xiu here, but actually wanted them to
Look, Zhao Guo basically formed a system within two months, allowing the Song Dynasty to see their strength.
At this time, the Ministry of Etiquette was too busy to open the pot. Feng Hao arrived in person. Everyone quickly saluted Feng Hao and rested for a while. Feng Hao nodded slightly, praised them greatly, and promised them that after the state banquet, they would give
They take a vacation to rest.
As soon as this sentence was said, all the officials in the Ministry of Rites happily worked hard to do the work they were supposed to do. To put it bluntly, they were doing it just for a holiday.
As for the military camp, the Ashan military exercise was held on the day after Ouyang Xiu arrived. You must know that Ouyang Xiu had served as deputy privy envoy in the past and was in charge of the military. It was a good opportunity for him to see what the military strength of Zhao State was.
