The Little Officials of the Song Dynasty Chapter 252: Professional Liaoning purchasing agent

Using the Liao regiment?

Yunyan recalled for a while, and remembered that it was already November. It was indeed time to send envoys to the Liao Kingdom to celebrate Zhengdan. But why bother with him?

Yunyan went back and washed her face, and her whole body was awake, "Whose idea is this, Lord Honglu Temple? It's not up to them to decide this?"

Many functions of Honglu Temple were actually divided up by other departments, especially for such important matters as diplomatic relations with the Liao Kingdom, the selection of envoys was usually made by the Privy Council and Zhongshu Province through consultation.

"I said it was a recommendation, and the Privy Council is still undecided," Zheng Ling said in a low voice, "I have inquired about it, and the Liao people have sent letters many times, hoping to invite Kong Jiaban to perform in Liao. After Confucius started the class, they became more attentive. This time, I am afraid that they will bring people from the Confucius class to the performance.

The form of opera was invented by Kong Ji. How many people in the world can dare to say that they are "passable"?

The Liao people love opera, and they like to make things difficult for Song Chen. It would be bad if none of the envoys sent could have a few words with them.

About this, those talents thought of Yun Yanhui, and everyone with a heart knows that the Kong family class was funded by Yun Yanhui in the beginning, and Kong Ji followed Yun Yanhui's advice very much.

Besides, you can tell just by looking at Yunyan Hui's glorious achievements in the past. Although he hasn't read much (...), and has no fame, he has never won a battle against the Liao people.

Looking at it like this, it's really okay.

Yunyan rubbed her forehead back, "Since the year of □□, he sent the Zhengdan envoy He Liao, no matter if he was a deputy envoy, the status of the envoy was no more than a ministerial official, a famous scholar, or a foreign relative, and a Kaifeng government official was sent. What is it?"

Ministers have real power, and their relatives are nepotistic. As for celebrities, the requirements are even higher. Those who have been sent before are all great Confucians from aristocratic families, famous literati and the like.

Envoys represent the dignity of the country. They can't lose face to the Song Dynasty. What's more, they have to negotiate matters between the two countries and spy on intelligence. Therefore, they must be excellent in terms of their own conditions and quality.

Having said this, Zheng Ling also scratched his head, "They said it with confidence, and I didn't think too much about it... Wouldn't that mean asking the official to seal you an official?"

"What kind of official is it? I have told the official family that I don't want to be an official." Yun Yan returned to consciously that the crisis was relieved. If the Privy Council could deal with them, they would be ghosts."

Zheng Ling always felt that something was wrong, but Yun Yanhui ignored him and pulled him back to continue drinking.

"I think it's better to pay attention..." Zheng Ling said, "You and Zhao Cianyun have already been half envoys, so you have experience."

He was talking about the fact that Yun Yanhui and Zhao Yunchu went to the Songchang border to handle the case, which is indeed a qualification.

"You are so young, why are you so long-winded. The car must have a way to the front of the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge. If I really make an exception to use Liao, then I have the right to buy it for the big guy." I have never been to the Liao Kingdom, but I have been to the border, and I have dealt with many Liao people, and I have never taken long-distance travel seriously, and I am not so worried, so it does not matter.

The last time Yunyan went back to Jichang, it was not just a purchase, but a public tour.

Yun Yanhui got Zheng Ling drunk, and Zheng Ling couldn't say anything else.

……

Waking up the next day, Yun Yanhui didn't take it seriously and left it behind because he thought it was impossible.

However, after a few days, Renzong Guo really passed him into the palace. Yun Yan returned to the imperial court to see that there were officials from the Privy Council, Zhongshu, Honglu Temple, etc., all staring at him, and suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

It's not good, you don't really ask him to go on a business trip, do you?

After Yunyan returned the salute, she looked at her nose and heart, and stood by without saying a word.

Renzong looked at his honest appearance and asked, "Do you know what I asked you to do?"

Yunyan replied: "No, I don't know..."

The official of the Privy Council's ceremonial room said cheerfully: "Last time, I went to the tea market to discuss the tea business, and the errand was done very well. This time when the New Year is approaching, our Song Dynasty wants to send envoys to the Liao Kingdom. We all, but I recommend you to be the deputy envoy."

Yunyan looked back, everyone looked back at him kindly, and couldn't help thinking, what kind of grudges do I have with you...

"Looking like you are so stupid, who are you pretending to show?" Renzong felt that Yun Yanhui was not as lively as before, so Xiaoxiao scolded, "This time I will send the disciples of the Confucius family and ask you to go. , I know you understand these quyi."

Yun Yanhui only knew about opera before, but after dealing with Kong Zhi, he gradually understood a lot, so he does have an advantage in this regard.

"No." Although Yun Yanhui was not afraid to travel on business, he still didn't want to go for so long, if it was not necessary. "The official family has always made Liao's officials very knowledgeable, and he wants to talk with Liao people. Poetry, although I have a rough understanding of opera, I am only limited to opera. What if I lose someone?"

The messenger is shamed, it is not the one who loses himself. Evian Yan looked back and saw that there were people from the Confucius family who were there, and the envoys would be fine as long as they had a little understanding.

Yun Yanhui added another sentence, and said weakly: "The official of the Dingfu is the deputy envoy, okay..."

"That's because you don't know the Liao people's fanatical yearning for opera," Renzong shook his head and said, "Besides, who said you were a government official?"

Yun Yan didn't understand, "What is that?" Could it be that, as Zheng Ling said, to make it easier for him to travel, he even gave him an official title?

Renzong said with a smile: "You are the editor-in-chief of Kaifeng House News!"

Yunyan replied: "..."

Come on, so, his identity belongs to the category of "celebrity scholar"?

As if seeing what Yun Yanhui was thinking, Renzong said, "Or do you want to go as a relative of the royal family?"

Yun Yanhui was so frightened that her legs were softened. She looked at the suspicious expressions of the courtiers around her, but did not realize the deep meaning. She was relieved. I didn't expect Renzong to molest him and Zhao Yunchu in front of so many people. relation.

Yunyan looked back and saw that so many people were staring at him, and they were all scholars. If he said no, he would not be drowned by the spittle Xingzi. "The official, can you take a step to talk?"

All the ministers looked at Yun Yanhui strangely, and kept guessing in their hearts.

This fellow is so favored that he dares to ask the official family to take a step to speak. The official family has a very unusual attitude towards him, and he accidentally said the words "royal relatives and relatives". Is there a situation for a lady of the royal family?

If it wasn't for Zhao Youwu's young age, they would have guessed that Yun Yan would return to the princess. However, although there is no suitable princess, is it possible for other princesses, princesses and other noble ladies?

Renzong said in a funny way, "Then the Qing family should go back first."

Just now, the big guy was discussing the candidates for envoys and proposed a Yun Yanhui, and Renzong simply called people to ask. Now that Yun Yanhui is hesitant, it is estimated that he has some conditions to talk about.

After the ministers withdrew, Ren Zongfang said, "Tell me, what do you want?"

As long as it's not too much, Renzong can satisfy Yun Yanhui.

Yun Yan smiled embarrassedly in return, "Official family, how many people to choose to serve as Liao this time? Can you...call the one from our family..." He did not dare to recommend Zhao Yunchu in front of all the ministers. Otherwise, I am afraid that everyone will contact the royal relatives and see something strange.

Renzong got goosebumps when he heard that he was so tired of calling him "the one from our family", "Do you still have any prospects? You only know that your sons and daughters love each other, and sending an ambassador to Liao is a major event for the country. , do you want to bring someone with you?"

He thought Yun Yanhui could ask for anything, but he didn't expect Zhao Yunchu to be brought along.

The more I think about Renzong, the more I feel that something is wrong, "I asked you to be an envoy, what kind of opportunity do you take?" Going out for a walk with Zhao Yunchu, you are tired?

Yunyan replied: "..."

What other opportunities can I take for a honeymoon trip at public expense...

Yunyan replied implicitly: "Guanjia, I grew up with Ah Chu since we were young, and we have not been apart for a long time. Besides, we are in a time of intense love and we cannot be separated. Please forgive me."

This really needs forgiveness. Zhao Yunchu is not very knowledgeable and young. Speaking of being an envoy, he is still not very qualified.

But Zhao Yunchu is a relative of the royal family, and he is born with divine power. He has the backing of his father's reputation, which is also his advantage. Quan sees what Renzong has to say.

"I want to think about this," Renzong said embarrassingly, "Following the wind, besides the reason for the opera, there is one more thing that you need to worry about."

"In addition to the performance, the Liao State also hopes that the Confucius family can pass on their arts in their own country. You say, the two countries have diplomatic relations. How can we strive for the interests of the Confucius family?" Renzong was very "implicit". said.

Yunyan replied: "..."

No wonder I had to call him over. It seems that the main thing is to call him to deceive people. What should I do to fight for the benefits that I deserve? How to use the needs of the Liao Kingdom to get more benefits. Yun Yan thought for a while and said, "I will go back and think about this, we must not let the people suffer."

Renzong knew that Yun Yanhui understood what he meant, and smiled, "It's good if you know."

Yun Yanhui and Renzong reached a preliminary consensus, and when they returned, they announced the news to everyone.

Zhao Yunchu: "Go to Liao for at least three months, what should I do! What should I do!!"

He was sitting on the bed, but now he crouches down sadly, beating the bed angrily.

Yun Yanhui heard that the bed was pounded by him, and thought that he should let Renzong take a look. Who is more affectionate? Is he the more rational one of the pair? ?

Yunyan stopped Zhao Yunchu in return, "Don't beat me. Although I have decided to go, you still have a chance to go with me. The officials are considering this matter. I think there is still a chance."

Generally, there are two or three envoys. This time the main envoy must be an old driver who can hold the market, so there are still two or three deputy envoys, Yun Yan will take one, and Zhao Yunchu also has hope.

Zhao Yunchu was refreshed and thought about it for a while, "No, I'll invite Dad into the palace!"

Zhao Yunchu wanted to send an envoy. In his parents' opinion, it was a request for progress. How could he not agree? Sure enough, he went to the palace to ask the officials to save face.

Renzong is going to be drunk, and he said in his heart that you help him now, and you won't regret it if you know the truth in the future. It's just that Zhao Yuanyan came to ask for it in person, so why did Renzong want to give Uncle Huang a face, so he reluctantly agreed and asked Zhao Yunchu to join him as an envoy.

As soon as the news came out, Yun Yan became lively when he returned here.

Last time I went back to the market, and I brought a truckload of goods back. This time I went to Liao, so I can't continue to carry forward my spirit and become a Liao Dynasty by the way?

As soon as it was born and cooked again, Zheng Ping also calmed down, and called the shop assistant with the list to help Yun Yanhui register the things that relatives and friends need to purchase.

"Don't worry, although this time is not a market, but our brother Yan has friends in Liaoning, how can we buy expensive prices!"

"Hey, we only buy on behalf of others, and don't help with sales, especially for prohibited items. If this is found, you will be punished!"

"Bai Guard, what do you want? What? You're just here for instant noodles..."
