"Dali State Envoy Duan Suzhen is here!" A civil official raised his head from the list, observed the costume of the visitor, and shouted.

Immediately several people walked to the gate of this mansion and greeted Da Xu with a civil official. With a gentle smile on his face, the receiving civilian spoke a few words to the envoy amidst the noise.

Then the envoy and several others walked to the door one after another, spread their arms, and let the Wufu standing in front of the door touch his feet from head to foot.

The street outside the door is very crowded, and there are crowds of people among the carriages and horses, as if going to a market. On the side of the gate, a large group of armored and sharp soldiers lined up in a phalanx. The line was straight, as if they had been bounced by a carpenter's ink rope.

In this conference, not only Xu and Liao are the two countries participating in the alliance, but all the places in Tokyo that have a little contact with each other are invited in advance. Even Dali State sent people, only Jiaozhi did not send people... It is said that Jiaozhi has been in the civil strife in the past few years. Ding Buling has just put down the tribes and founded the "Da Quyue", but most of Tokyo does not recognize the legality of this country. .

...Guo Shao came to this mansion left by the former bureaucrats very early, but he decided not to show up at the formal meeting of the League, and waited for the banquet to show up again.

Because officials of the Ministry of Rites believed that the Liao State sent the Great King of the Beiyuan, and it was only necessary to send ministers of the same level to sign the agreement. The Privy Council officials also suggested that Xu Liaozhi's hatred can not be resolved overnight, the emperor need not stand in the tide of dissatisfaction, as long as the ministers come to preside over it.

But Guo Shao decided to meet with the Liao State envoy in private.

He waited in a room in the back garden, expecting to meet Xiao Siwen...but if ten years ago, he should be looking forward to meeting Xiao Siwen's daughter.

At this moment, he found an old painting hanging on the wall above the coffee table. When he looked up, he saw that the paper of the painting had turned yellow. In black and white ink painting, an old man dressed in a quilt is sitting by the river and fishing, surrounded by ink lines outlining the background of snow-covered mountains and forests.

Lone fishing in the cold river snow. Guo Shao first thought of this poem, but this painting should not be a famous painting. It has neither a title nor a seal of the artist's name.

Guo Shao didn't understand why he was attracted by such an old painting that was not a famous painting. He stood by the wall and studied the painting for a long time.

Until Jing Niang's voice came from behind: "The official, the Liao State envoy Xiao Siwen and others have brought it here."

Guo Shao didn't look back, nodded, his eyes still did not leave the painting, his mind was capturing the looming trace of sentiment.

After a while, I heard a jerky accent in Chinese: "The Daliao envoy pays homage to Emperor Xu."

Guo Shao turned around, looked at a few people, and said casually: "No gift."

The middle-aged man with good facial features standing in front should be Xiao Siwen. He and a few others straightened up and were also looking at Guo Shao. From their eyes, Guo Shao knew they were a little surprised.

"I heard that I was rumored to be a monster with three heads and six arms in Liao, and was also used by the people to frighten disobedient children?" Guo Shao laughed.

Xiao Siwen calmly said: "Emperor Xu is famous all over the world, and it is inevitable that there will be stupidity."

Guo Shao is obviously more ordinary than they thought, rough skin, ordinary face, burly and taller, but there are many tall ordinary men in the world. In this backyard, he didn't even wear a hat, combed his hair in a bun, and pinned it with a wooden hairpin. The purple round-neck robes on her body were ironed flat, but they were old, and the color of the cuffs and collar was worn slightly lighter than the color of other materials.

Guo Shao is also observing Xiao Siwen, who has been thinking about it for a long time, and he fully believes that he is a decent person only by his appearance. As for who Yang Dagon is, Guo Shao is not sure, and is unwilling to mention it specifically...Just wait a while and ask Jingniang who is standing by.

In a short silence, Guo Shao saw that Xiao Siwen had finished reading himself, and his eyes turned to the painting he had just seen on the wall from time to time.

In this private meeting, there is no need to discuss the matter of the alliance. As long as the minister can handle such a matter, Guo Shao does not need to discuss it with Xiao Siwen himself. Seeing Xiao Siwen noticed the painting, Guo Shao found the topic and raised his finger to paint: "Shijun Xiao knows this painting?"

"Lone fishing in the cold snow." Xiao Siwen said.

Guo Shaozan said: "Xiao Shijun is very knowledgeable."

"I have a little bit of research on the poetry of the original name in Zhongyuan." Xiao Siwen said, "This painting is based on the artistic conception of Liu Zongyuan in the Tang Dynasty."

Guo Shao nodded and said calmly: "There is another layer. The painters of this kind of painting are generally not only literati, but also bureaucrats. If the time is a few years earlier, most of them are from the elite."

"Oh..." Xiao Siwen nodded thoughtfully, and couldn't help looking up again at the painting.

At this time, more and more people arrived in front of the courtyard, and they were about to prepare for major events between the countries, but Emperor Da Xu and the Great King of the Northern Court of Liao Kingdom were discussing poetry and painting. The three deputy envoys and the interested Jingniang listened very patiently, and did not speak easily...because the emperor would talk about whatever he wanted.

Guo Shao said again: "The former owner of the mansion where we are now is a former court official. He should have been the owner of this painting. Shijun Xiao walked in, what did you think of the scenery?"

"Very exquisite." Xiao Siwen said seriously, "The customs of the Central Plains settle down, and they spend more time on the residence than the people of Liaoning."

Guo Shao said: "Before the envoy Xiao came in, I watched this painting and had some thoughts. What was the mood of the bureaucrat here when he saw this painting?"

Xiao Siwen groaned: "If I guess, I might just appreciate the indifferent and tranquil state."

"Xiao Shijun really has a good understanding of the culture of the Central Plains." Guo Shaoyu is gentle and calm, and when he praises him from time to time, he is not like Xiao Simwen’s enemy and enemy at all. "Our country has always been ruled by man, and the concept is also the original nature This kind of goodness is based on the personal cultivation of officials. When officials flaunt this state, they are also showing to the world and even themselves that they are capable of playing the role of ruler."

Xiao Siwen listened very carefully, and responded, "Emperor Xu established the country by military force. In view of this, the emperor also has a lot of experience in Wenzhi."

Guo Shao continued with a smile: “The painter is standing here, and the fame and fortune he is chasing have been acquired. He imagines that he is the old man in the painting, and he withdraws from such a lonely environment. There may be a kind of Feel..."

"How do you feel?" Xiao Siwen looked very interested. It can be seen that this Khitan is not a person who is totally uncomfortable.

Guo Shao took a "hiss" breath and thoughtfully, "The great wealth and power once thought to be the source of joy, once obtained, it feels not the source of joy. The true meaning is not the result. , But the desire and expectation when chasing."

Siwen Xiao seemed to be more and more interested, and immediately asked: "Then why chase?"

Guo Shao looked at him and said: "Wealth and power are not the source of happiness, but they are the source of freedom from most of the pain and helplessness. This means that people are not willing to be abused even if they are not happy. "

Siwen Xiao nodded slightly while thinking.

Guo Shao suddenly raised his voice, such as Tiangu, initiating: "I look forward to the next performance of Shijun Xiao, how can he escape the painful and helpless situation. I hope Shijun Xiao will not let me down, but let me listen. Said that you are the wise man who has survived the difficult times, and then sincerely admires Xiao Shijun."

Xiao Siwen raised his head to meet Guo Shao's smiling and non-smiling eyes, but his own face was alternately blue and red, and his expression was extremely subtle and complicated.

Guo Shao's words are a blatant provocation and an undisguised gloat!

But his words do not lose respect, even if Xiao Siwen is not necessarily a respectable opponent, Guo Shao respects his opponent, as if he is also respecting his own demeanor.

Xiao Siwen’s original method was to conspiracy by any means|poison, and when Guo Shao fought back, it was on the table. Tell Xiao Siwen his purpose, remind him to accept the move, and move forward step by step.

I haven't reached the end yet, but it seems to be judged on top of one another... This is what Guo Shao wants!

After the two faced each other for a while, Guo Shao said: "The main business in the hall is about to begin, so I will not retain Ambassador Xiao."

Xiao Siwen said: "My ambassador is leaving."

Guo Shaodao: "My conversation with Ambassador Xiao is very interesting, I hope there will be another time."

Several envoys from the Liao Kingdom exited the room, and it was quiet again. Guo Shao stood alone in the room, just like fishing alone in the snow on the wall.

Not long after, Jingniang returned to her room to report.

Guo Shao asked: "Which is Yang Dagon?"

Jingniang said: "The one on the left of Xiao Siwen."

Guo Shao suddenly said: "I just guessed the other three people, and I guessed that is the same."

Jingniang was not a talkative person, she looked like she was hesitant to talk, and then stood there silently.

Guo Shao glanced at her and said: "I guessed it by intuition, and didn't see anything. Yang Dagon really has a city and a brain. But as far as I know, Yang Dagon is in Hebei. Zhang Da's Khitan, his temperament is somewhat similar to Xiao Siwen, anyway, it is different from the other two Khitans. I haven't figured out the difference, and I don't bother to think about it."

Jingniang said: "I asked Yang Shiliang who is Yang Dagon."

While speaking, Guo Shao glanced at the south side. He was waiting for the result of the Alliance. Before the result is confirmed, it seems that there is no intention to deal with other things. Guo Shao is not the kind of completely indifferent person that Shilin praised.

His gaze slowly moved away from Jingniang's body injury, as if something invisible was gently brushing the outline of her clothes supported by her body. Jingniang could feel Guo Shao's gaze, but she was neither shy nor charming.

Guo Shao said: "The women I can see now are all fighting for favor."

Jing Niang did not change her face and said: "My birth is not noble, but I have seen rich people since I was a child. There are many beautiful women around them, but only by their beauty, usually not one can stay with the host. Month. No matter how beautiful people are, there are always times when they are boring."

Guo Shao glanced sideways at the painting, and said casually: "This is the reason why power and wealth are not the source of pleasure."
