The most romantic little emperor
Chapter 383 We are here to ask for food, not to fight
Mr. Xiao knew that the other party was not a good person, so he did not dare to be careless. He turned around and rushed to Yelu Lingxiao, and narrated everything that had just happened in detail and concisely.
When Yelu Zhuoduo heard this, his eyes sparkled like a beast whose bottom line was touched. He cursed: "Those arrogant two-legged sheep are really going too far! I will go and teach them a lesson myself, and let them have a taste of the power of the greatest warrior of the Liao Dynasty!"
After saying that, he turned around and left, ready to fight with those people.
However, Yelu Lingxiao stopped him sternly: "Zhuoduo, stop right there!"
Yelu Zhuoduo paused, turned to look at Yelu Lingxiao, his eyes full of dissatisfaction and anger.
Yelu Lingxiao took a deep breath, calmed himself down, then turned to Mr. Xiao beside him and said, "Just do as he says, hand over all your weapons and let them search."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao could not help but frowned and said worriedly: "My lord, doing this may make them even more arrogant."
Yelu Lingxiao glanced at him coldly and said, "We are here to ask for food, not to fight. Remember, our goal is food, not disputes."
Mr. Xiao received an urgent order from the King of the Southern Courtyard. He did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately stepped forward to convey the King's order.
Although the Liao people were angry, they could not resist the order of King Nanyuan, so they had to hand over their weapons reluctantly, and then watched the group of soldiers come to search.
The Jinyiwei and soldiers under Xu Maozhi mercilessly picked out the items one by one, making the ground a mess.
Just as Xu Maozhi was about to complete the search, Shi Minghan, the Minister of Rites, and Zhou Qin, the Minister of Honglu Temple, led a large group of officials to rush in. When they saw the chaotic scene in front of them, they smiled at each other secretly and quickly stepped forward to stop the situation from getting worse.
Shi Minghan pretended to be angry and hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Commander Xu, what do you mean by this? The envoys of the Liao Dynasty are the most distinguished guests of our Great Xia. Isn't it impolite to treat them like this? How can you put His Majesty in this position?"
"Xu Maozhi, you have gone too far by relying on the favor of His Majesty! Come here quickly and apologize to the envoys!" Zhou Qin also shouted sternly.
Xu Maozhi was dissatisfied and retorted: "My Lords, these envoys openly drew their bows and arrows and rode wildly in the streets, which has seriously disturbed the normal life of the people of Daxia and even threatened their safety. I am just enforcing the law impartially and maintaining the order of Daxia. What is wrong with that?"
"You are so good, Xu Maozhi, how dare you speak so rudely? Believe it or not, I will join some ministers to report you. Hurry up and apologize for your country's envoy, otherwise, His Majesty will not be able to protect you." Zhou Qin said coldly.
"Xu Maozhi, you are so bold to speak so rudely!"
Zhou Qin's face was grim, and his voice revealed deep displeasure. He glared at Xu Maozhi and sneered, "Believe it or not, I can report to His Majesty and impeach you by joining forces with a few ministers! Now, you'd better apologize to the Liao envoy immediately, otherwise, even His Majesty can't protect you!"
Mr. Xiao had watched for such a long time that he had clearly seen that one of them was playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, but there was no evidence and it was not a good idea to pursue it too much, so he comforted them, "You two adults, please don't blame Mr. Xu. These are just misunderstandings. It will be fine if we talk it out."
Mr. Xiao stood aside and observed quietly for a moment. He understood a little. He saw that one of them was playing the villain and the other was playing the villain. They cooperated well. However, without solid evidence, he could not pursue it too much.
So, he walked forward with a smile, eased the atmosphere and said: "My two lords, please don't be angry. Lord Xu's mistake was unintentional. We are all here for national affairs. Why should we hurt the harmony over such a small matter? I am here to persuade you to make peace. I hope you can put aside the past grudges and work together for the friendly exchanges between the two countries."
Seeing that the other envoy was offering him a way out, Xu Maozhi hurriedly went with the flow, stepped forward and apologized to the other party.
As the conflicts between the two sides were resolved, Shi Minghan and Zhou Qin brought the Liao envoys to the Honglu Temple.
The two parties sat down as host and guest, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious. Mr. Xiao, as Yelu Lingxiao's representative, began to talk with Shi Minghan and others.
"My Lords, we want to see His Majesty the Emperor of Daxia!"
Mr. Xiao smiled politely and said, "I am Xiao Siliang, the deputy historian this time. I wonder when we can meet your emperor."
Shi Minghan and Zhou Qin exchanged glances, then he smiled and said, "Deputy Secretary Xiao, you have come from afar and are exhausted by the journey. It is really admirable. Please take a rest and get enough energy. I will report this to His Majesty immediately, and I will notify you when His Majesty sets a time for the audience. How about that?"
After hearing this, Mr. Xiao nodded slightly, with a smile on his face. "Thank you for your concern, Lord Shi. We will wait patiently and look forward to meeting His Majesty the Emperor."
Shi Minghan also smiled with satisfaction when he saw this. He cupped his hands and said, "Deputy Shi Xiao, don't worry, I will arrange this as soon as possible. In the meantime, if you need anything, just let me know."
He then turned his gaze to Zhou Qin who was standing beside him, and repeatedly reminded him: "Master Zhou, during this period of time, you must arrange food and lodging for the Liao delegation and make sure they feel at home. Remember, our guests have come from afar and represent the Liao Kingdom. Our every move represents the face of Daxia."
Zhou Qin listened very carefully. He nodded and replied, "Don't worry, Master Shi. I will do my best to ensure the comfort and safety of the Liao delegation during this period."
As Shi Minghan and Zhou Qin left, Mr. Xiao also returned to his residence with the Liao delegation. Although they looked calm on the surface, they were full of anticipation and nervousness for the upcoming meeting. They knew that this meeting was not only related to the friendly relations between the two countries, but also likely to affect the future direction of the two countries.
Therefore, they must remain vigilant and be prepared to deal with various situations that may arise.
Shi Minghan and Zhou Qin also understood that their task was equally arduous. They had to ensure the smooth progress of the meeting while also paying attention to maintaining the dignity and interests of the Song Dynasty. At this moment full of challenges and opportunities, they were all ready to meet the unknown challenges.
