The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

"Shangshu Hu, is there another Aoshan in front of Xuanhe Gate in the capital this year and a Caimen are set up?" Zhao Qiong asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty, this is like this every year, of course this year is no exception!" Hu Anguo replied carefully. He didn't know how the emperor cared about these trivial matters.

"Is it a lot of money to build Aoshan, set up a colorful shed, and lantern club?" Zhao Qi asked again without raising his eyelids.

"Your Majesty, it will cost about 200,000 yuan. Although it costs a lot, this money should still be spent. It can demonstrate that Your Majesty's magical martial arts, peace in the world, people live and work in peace, and be majestic in the world!" Hu Anguo replied.

"This year, our Song Dynasty's Eastern support to Goryeo and expedition to Gaochang, and it will cost a huge amount of money to attack Seljuk again. 200,000 trump cards are enough to build several warships. Let's keep everything simple!" Zhao Qi looked up at Hu Anguo and said.

"Your Majesty, isn't this a good fit? Our successive victory in the dynasty is the time for everyone to celebrate together. It's too simple and difficult..." Hu Anguo said embarrassedly.

"You are afraid of losing face! Do you think peace is embellished? Jurchens, Dangxiang people, Mongolians, including the Goryeo people who have always been respectful, which one surrendered because of seeing our heavenly atmosphere?

We should not do things that hurt ourselves for the sake of face. Especially for those people in Khotan just now, they would not hesitate to pull them to make up their numbers in order to make up the numbers in order to make a fortune. This will not only not show our strength and sincere surrender, but will make them more powerful.

Look down!" Zhao Qi said with a deep face.

"Your Majesty, those foreigners envy me for the majesty of the Song Dynasty. If we are arrogant, wouldn't it be polite? Let them gain some small profits, and it can also show the spirit of our great country!" Hu Anguo did not agree with the emperor's statement, and he still wanted to

Persuading the emperor to change his mind.

"Shangshu Hu, I have already stated that the style of a great country and a country of etiquette are not bought by money. Our Song Dynasty is not greedy for those false reputations, otherwise it will only make people feel that our Song Dynasty is played with in the hands of others.

It's a fool. But I don't mean that all foreign countries can be simply received. We must distinguish which vassal states are truly surrendered to our own. And which tribute countries come to pay tribute from time to time. We cannot generalize them, so that our true friends can feel great.

Song’s warmth, let those who make up for the numbers let them take their own care!” Zhao Qi said sternly.

"Your Majesty, there are already some examples. It's a bit out of place for us to change without authorization?" As soon as the tiger showed his power, Hu Anguo was still a little guilty. But he was unwilling to say.

"Shangshu Hu, I have already said at the October dynasty meeting that the Song Dynasty will no longer do things that "false words and joy but actually suffer losses". Everything will focus on the interests of the country and the people. Have you forgotten that I am

Are you talking and having fun?" Zhao Qi stared at Hu Anguo and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty's words are still in your ears. I dare not forget!" Although the emperor's voice was small, he showed his domineering aura and murderous aura burst out. Hu Anguo felt his legs were bent and his wretched, and he hurriedly apologized.

"Your Majesty calm down, I and Shangshu Hu immediately agreed to issue an article to express your Majesty's imperial approval and order each department to supervise this matter!" Zhang Su quickly pulled Hu Anguo and asked him not to say more, and promised the emperor that he would think of it immediately.

Solution.

"Well. This matter cannot be delayed. The faster the better. I don't want to see the scene today again!" Zhao Qi shook his hand and walked towards the back hall.

"Sir, Your Majesty has left, let's go back too!" The two of them respectfully sent the emperor away, but the Zhang Su waited for a moment but saw no movement in Hu Anguo, and he looked up and reminded him.

"Mr. Zhang, my legs and feet are a little weak. I'll help you!" The emperor usually spoke very kindly, especially when he rarely got angry with his old ministers. Today, he was called "thunderous anger", which made him a little scared.

"Sir, go slowly!" Zhang Xu hurriedly stepped forward to support Master Shangshu, feeling sweaty all over his armpits and his steps were a little staggering.

"Oh. The emperor's anger is bleeding thousands of miles away. I have seen it today!" After leaving the emperor's courtyard, the cool breeze blew, Hu Anguo finally calmed down and laughed mockingly.

"Your Majesty has led troops to conquer all directions since he was a child, so he naturally has some evil spirits on his body. Not to mention the lord, even the lower officials were so shocked that their legs and feet were trembling, and their minds were empty!" Zhang Suo smiled and comforted the old man.

"This is not a evil spirit, it is a natural domineering spirit. It seems that the ascension of Your Majesty is not a coincidence!" Zhang Su had led the army back then and also led the army to fight with the Jurchens.

Even he was very scared, and his performance just now was not as embarrassing. Hu Anguo was very relieved, and of course he did not forget to find a reason to cover up his face.

"Yes, sir, how can this kind of domineering aura be able to bear it? If it's not too early, we should come up with a charter earlier and present it to the imperial examination tomorrow so that your majesty will not blame you!" Zhang Suo was in his heart.

It's funny, this old man is so interesting. He never forgot to take care of his face, as if he had forgotten why he was criticized just now. He hurriedly reminded him to find a way to calm the emperor's anger, otherwise he would not only be criticized tomorrow!

"Mr. Zhang said, we must do it well even if we don't sleep tonight, so don't miss your Majesty's major affairs!" Hu Anguo nodded and said yes, and hurriedly asked the officials of the Ministry of Rites to discuss matters, convey the emperor's teachings, and ask everyone to fully understand the situation.

The Holy Will formulated new rules overnight and stopped the celebration preparations in the capital. Everything was ready after the Holy Order was issued.

There is pressure and efficiency. The next morning, Zhao Qiong received the results of two officials and deputy officials of the Ministry of Rites who worked all night. The two divided the receptions according to their wishes according to their standards for receiving foreign envoys and according to their status.

Levels, from the number of missions, rooms, food and items provided by the inn, and the ranks of accompanying officials all have detailed standards. Those who are just pretending to be substituted will be discarded and no longer provide any entertainment.

After reading the pen, Zhao Qiong picked up the pen and gave him an erase. Now the Song Dynasty has opened up the domestic markets abroad, and the tribute trade has been in name only. Therefore, as long as the Song Dynasty's laws and taxes are paid according to the rules, no one will interfere, so there is no such thing as no one will interfere.

If you need to purchase their goods in the official name, of course you have no obligation to pay them a reward that exceeds the value of their goods several times, and you will not underwrite the backlog of goods on your behalf...

The emperor's imperial letter approved the edict, and the edict was sent to the capital and local inns and temples as quickly as possible, requiring them to start the implementation immediately after receiving it, and the one who felt the deepest about the change was Husa, the envoy of Khotan who had just left Zhengzhou, who had just left Zhengzhou.

When he woke up early this morning, he found that the Great Song guards guarding at the door were missing. The officials of the Honglu Temple who had been attentive enough to accompany them did not show up, and there was no hot water for washing.

Husala was naturally very angry and immediately found the postman in the inn to ask why he was slow to treat them. Unexpectedly, he received a bill. The inn asked him to pay last night's accommodation fee, meal fee, drink and horse feed money.

.This made him even more angry, saying that he was an envoy sent by the Kingdom of Khotan. The guests of the Song Dynasty were all responsible for food and accommodation in the inn along the Song Dynasty, and he had never paid any money.

Husala had encountered this situation in the past, but as soon as he showed the sign of the envoy of Khotan, everything would be solved, but this time he was disappointed. The postman was also broken and did not tell him because of the new one.

The order canceled the treatment of his envoy, saying that he was doing things according to the rules and had to pay all his due fees, otherwise he could only ask him to leave the inn and find a residence. If he did not comply, he would be responsible for the consequences.

Husala was used to eating and slipping her legs, so how could she admit her claim? She immediately started making a big fuss in the inn, asking to meet the officials of the Honglu Temple, and even said that she would go to Beijing to argue with them in front of the emperor.

This trick was very effective in the past. An official would come to him immediately to appease him, and naturally the bill would be exempted. But this time, no one paid attention to him, let alone his threat, and he just insisted on asking him to pay.

After a while, Husala felt that the atmosphere was wrong and said she went back to get the money. But he had no intention of paying the money. After returning, he ordered people to pack their luggage and pack their goods and wanted to run away. Unexpectedly, he stood guard for them at this time.

The soldiers were back, but the attitude had an ultimate reversal - the affinity turned into glaring, and the meaning was written on the face. You wouldn't want to leave here without paying money.

Hu Sala finally understood that if she didn't pay for money today, she would be able to do anything good. She could only spend money to avoid disaster. However, he was not worried. He just felt that he had a lunatic, and with his experience, he still had to do so.

It is possible that he will come back. Because he is not a fledgling rookie, his family can be said to be a professional 'entiment' household. As early as when he knew how to leave, he began to walk with his family on the trade route from Yutian to the Song Dynasty.

Of course, not everyone can be a professional. Not only do you need some money, but you also have a good relationship with those in power. Otherwise, you will not be able to get a letter of nationality first, so you will naturally have to share a share of the money you earn.

With the letter of the country, his identity is different. With this, he will not only be warmly entertained by the local government, but also be unobstructed in the capital. The next thing is simple. Although the Song Dynasty has the missions of various countries.

There are restrictions on the number of people and the goods they carry, but they often do not interfere. Although the goods purchased are novel in the Central Plains, they are ordinary things in the Western Regions and cannot cost much money.

Experience told them that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty did not care about what was tributed, but just wanted them to show their face at the court meeting and give themselves face. Those tributes may never be destined to meet the emperor in their entire lives. But they can report it falsely.

Ten times or even hundreds of times the value, and increase the price of the reward. Of course, they will not offer these valuable rewards, but will be sold at high prices as short-term commodities, making huge profits, so this is a

The business that only makes money but not loses will make their family rich.

The journey of the Husala family as a tribute envoy was interrupted for many years more than ten years ago due to the Song and Jin war. After all, his head is still more important than money. After hearing that the Song Dynasty defeated the Jurchens and became the lord of the Central Plains again, they then

The restart has interrupted the journey of tribute envoys for many years...
