Chapter 597 Goodbye Jin Envoy to Bianliang

Early in the morning, Yang Lin woke up and found that Yang Tianai was sitting on the edge of the bed, with her head on her chest, sleeping soundly.

Yang Lin suddenly woke up, touched his body, he was still wearing close-fitting clothes, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The shoes and socks had been taken off, and a small quilt was covering her body, barely covering her calves.

It's the New Year now, and the weather in the north is still relatively cold. When Yang Lin touched it lightly, the hands of the girl beside him really felt a little cold.

His fingers moved quickly, but he didn't wake up. Yang Lin couldn't help smiling.

He got up gently, carried the sleeping girl to the bed, covered her with the quilt, tucked the corners of the quilt, put on his clothes, shoes and socks, pushed the door and went out.

The early spring morning sun was very dazzling. Several maidservants in the courtyard were sweeping up the fallen leaves, and they watched in astonishment that their eldest son came out of the lady's room.

Yang Lin blushed, looked like an old man with his hands behind his back, coughed lightly and said, "Ai'er is a bit chilly, I'll come over early in the morning to take a look, you guys go call a doctor to take a look."

He purposely raised his voice so that Yang Tianai inside could also hear it, so that he would not be exposed.

Under the ambiguous eyes of several little maids, Yang Lin came to the front yard. Li Yunniang came in with two maids, carrying hot water and soap towels, and gave him an annoyed look.

While washing Yang Lin's face and wiping her temples, Yunniang complained, "Da Lang, don't blame me for talking too much. You watched her grow up with love that day. If this gets out, how will she find her husband's family in the future?"

Yang Lin pinched her waist and scolded with a smile: "I was drunk last night and didn't do anything. Where did you go? Am I like that?"

"Hmph...that Li Feng, wearing Lingbao's clothes every day, I don't know who did the dirty things."

"It's against you." Yang Lin said with a smile: "Woman, are you going to ride on my head?" While talking, he pinched one accurately with his hand, and twisted it.

Li Yunniang cried out in pain, but she refused to give in, and said with red eyes: "It's Dalang's business to listen to it, and it's the slave's business to persuade it or not. Anyway, Yunniang's status is humble, so it's up to you to fight and punish me." Dalang is."

Seeing that there was mist in her eyes, Yang Lin quickly pulled her on his lap, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "Listen, why don't you listen, why don't I know that you are doing it for my own good, what about Li Feng? I will never go again. But last night, I was really drunk and I was not awake. "

Seeing that he cared about her so much, Yunniang softened her heart, stopped being angry, got up and continued to serve him to wash and change clothes.

On the Shangyuan Festival in the third year of Xuanhe, the imperial court authorized officials to rest for three days, and fireworks could be set off in the city, so they couldn't help shutting down.

The vassal states of the Song Dynasty also sent envoys to Beijing to congratulate the suzerain state on New Year's Day.

At this time before, Song and Liao would also send envoys to each other, but they did so in the name of a country of brothers.

Outside Bianliang City, a group of special envoys ushered in. These people led tall horses, wore thick leather armor, and had braids on both sides.

The gold master Wanyan Aguda sent envoys to Tokyo. This is already the fourth time that Song and Jin have exchanged envoys.

Song and Jin fought a big battle in Youyan and Yunnei respectively, and until now there have been constant frictions inside and outside the Great Wall, and small battles often broke out.

But the envoys between the two countries continue, that is to say, they haven't broken their skins yet.

The Honglu Temple officials who were waiting to be greeted on the outskirts of the city also arrived early in the morning. They treated the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin differently from other foreign countries, and both sides were cautious.

Song and Jin have their own plans, and it will take some time for the country to stabilize and develop itself.

Standing at the cross street of Bianliang City, the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin stopped and marveled at the prosperity of this place.

I thought Huining Mansion was an extremely prosperous place, but I didn't know until I arrived in the Song Dynasty that there are such cities in the world.

Even though it is cold in spring, the streets are still crowded with people, and the shops on both sides are still busy.

Pedestrians on the road were dressed in high-quality fabrics, and some of them passed by were pretty girls with fair skin and charming smiles.

In those several-storey restaurants and tile houses, the smell of wine from the upper floors is passed down, accompanied by laughter like silver bells, and the sound of musical instruments mixed together, adding countless rich and noble atmosphere.

At this time in the north, a group of Jurchen nobles, although they were fighting against the cold, could only huddle in their big tents, and the family gathered around the campfire to keep warm.

Officials from the Song Dynasty in the distance had already come over, and invited them to Honglu Temple according to the old etiquette for receiving Liao people.

The officer of Honglu Temple didn't want to be with these stinky barbarians for a quarter of an hour, and said: "It's just noon now, the government office has prepared wine and food, and I'll send someone to bring them to you in a while."

The translator of the Jin Guo Mission replied, "I'm sorry."

The envoy of the Kingdom of Jin led the team, Wanyan Ba ​​Lisu, who was not tall but very stout.

After entering the room arranged by the Song people, Wanyan Ba ​​hurriedly took off his thick leather official uniform, and sat down on a chair carelessly.

A few soldiers poured him a bowl of hot water, pulled Lisu to support his knees and said, "I never thought that the Song Dynasty would have such a good place. In Huining Mansion, I often heard Zong Han talk about the prosperity of the Southern Dynasty. At that time I only thought that he was bragging in order to trick the old emperor into attacking Song Dynasty, but I didn't expect it to be true."

The Deputy Envoy Ma Da was a descendant from the Liao Dynasty. Because he was proficient in Chinese, as the Deputy Envoy this time, he came with Ba Lisu.

After hearing this, Ma Da bowed his waist and said with a smile: "Young Lord, don't worry, one day soon, our Da Jin's cavalry will fight here, and they will all be used by the general."

Wanyan Bali was overjoyed when he heard this, and he didn't care much about Ma Da's feelings, he said with a smile: "This is absolutely true, the great city and mansion that you Liao people occupied at the beginning, now those noble ladies are not here Serving at the residence of our daughter Zhen Erlang."

Ma Da's face remained the same, without a trace of sullenness, but even more obsequious with the smile.

At this time, there was a burst of laughter outside, Wanyan Bali quickly asked at the top of his throat, "Who is here?"

A personal soldier came in, cupping his fists in love: "General, the envoy from Goryeo next door is drinking with Song people."

"How come the envoys from Goryeo are accompanied by Song people to drink, and we have to eat alone here?"

Goryeo borders Jurchen. In the past, Jurchen couldn't survive, so they plundered Goryeo all the year round to survive the cold winter.

There is a deep hatred between them, especially now that the Jurchens have annexed Daliao, and they are always thinking about swallowing this small and prosperous country.

Now they are fighting fiercely with the Song Dynasty, and they regard themselves as vassals of the Song people everywhere, and it will be troublesome to start a war in the future.

From Koryo, it is possible to go directly to the old nest of the Kingdom of Jin, where there are Bohai people and advanced weapon smelting workshops.

Ma Da laughed and said, "The general doesn't know, but the Goryeo envoys are used to bribing the Song Dynasty officials here, so they have a good relationship with each other."

Pulling out his eyes, he sneered twice and said, "Come in for dinner!"

Chapter 598 New and Old Generals

On the night of Shangyuan, the lights are bright.

There are thousands of households, sleepless night, and the whole Bianliang is immersed in the ocean of joy.

In the Palace of Spring Harmony in the imperial city, Zhao Si hosted a banquet to receive envoys from various countries.

All military officials, as long as they are from the third rank or above, all will be present.

Yang Lin still excused his illness and did not come. He stayed with his relatives in the hospital and shared the family relationship with his family.

It's a pity that Yang Tong still didn't make it to the fifteenth day, taking advantage of Yang Lin's going to the government office, he took a group of brothers out of Beijing on the thirteenth day of the first lunar month.

Fortunately, Yang Lin is also used to it, so they have to suffer from illness in this wealthy mansion.
