538 Chapter 538

official su, as the minister of rites, I don’t know why you are so against the envoy from Gaoli coming to the song Dynasty to pay tribute. In my opinion, this is a rare opportunity for the song Dynasty to ally with Gaoli to resist the Liao Kingdom. Furthermore, the envoy from Gaoli even brought a birthday gift for the Grand Emperor and Empress Dowager. Official su, why are you obstructing and setting restrictions on the envoy from Gaoli? ”

As soon as Xia Pingan entered the palace, he greeted Song Shenzong and secretly sized up Song Shenzong’s appearance. Dong dunyi immediately launched an attack on Xia Pingan, full of gunpowder.

I heard that Messenger Gao Li has already sent a letter to the Minister. She wants to buy many books printed by the Crown Prince of Song Dynasty. She also wants to read our books such as ‘Taiping Imperial Journal’ and ‘CE mansion Yuan turtle’. Has the Minister agreed? ” Xia Pingan looked at Dong dunyi and asked in a calm tone. (Note 1)

In all fairness, people like Dong dunyi could not be considered as treacherous officials. They were just ignorant and inflexible. If they knew that in a thousand years, the descendants of the gorillas would claim that the cultural achievements stolen from China were invented by them, their faces would be very interesting!

Even at this time, those Koreans still didn’t have good intentions. On the surface, they were emissaries who wanted to repair their relationship with great song, but in fact, they were under the command of Liao. The emissaries of Goryeo were ordered by Liao to spy on great song.

haha, Lord su, you’re so well-informed. That’s right, the Goryeo emissary has already sent a letter to the minister’s office, saying that he wants to buy many books published by our Director-General. At the same time, he also wants to read books like ‘Taiping Yolan’,’ CE mansion Yuan turtle’, and so on. I think that Goryeo admires the prosperity of the great song and yearns for it, ” Dong dunyi said proudly. the great song can use this opportunity to show the way of the king to be soft and win over Goryeo to fight against the Liao. What’s wrong with that?

I heard that Lord Dong has taken in two concubines a few days ago. If Lord Dong wants to be gentle with gorillas so much, why don’t you send your wife and concubines to those gorillas? ”Vissit novelbin(.)c.om for updates

Song Shenzong and Dong dunyi probably never expected Su Shi to say such words. Song Shenzong’s face was already on the verge of bursting into laughter, but he tried his best to hold it in. Dong dunyi was dumbfounded for a moment before his face turned red. He pointed at Xia ping ‘an and said, ” you Su Shi, you’re the minister of rites. How can you humiliate a refined man like this in front of an official? ”

“Soft and beautiful? Dong dunyi, I’ll f * ck you! You’re just an old turtle who gave birth to a son without an anus! You can’t even tell if he’s a fool or a coward! And you still want to sell the books of our great song’s ” imperial edict of peace ” and ” Imperial turtle of CE ” to the Koreans? I think you’re a turtle who climbed the threshold. Sooner or later, you’ll have to do a somersault to fight against the Kasaya! Xia Pingan pointed at Dong dunyi’s nose and scolded him with a Shu accent, ” I’m scolding you now! Why don’t you try to soften me

Dong dunyi’s mind was in a daze. He was dumbfounded by Xia ping ‘an’s rapid and anxious scolding in Shu dialect. He was so angry that his entire body was trembling and his face was flushed red. He directly bowed to Song Shenzong and stuttered, ” official Xuanji, please punish Xuanji for Su Shi’s crime of dishonoring the official Xuanji before the Emperor!

Xia ping ‘an said, ” the time that those Gori emissaries used to submit their reports was the generational calendar and not the song calendar. Those Goris just fond of doing things in small places like this. They are sneaky and use their lowly status as their cleverness. They have no respect for the great song at all. Isn’t this disloyal? how can we let those Goris have their wish? ”

Dong dunyi was once again at a loss for words. the gift prepared by the messenger from Gaoli must be real, right? I heard it’s two golden pagodas. This shows her sincerity!

my Lord, this is where the goguryeons are cunning. The big Golden Pagoda that they gave us is just two small pagodas in a box. They know that if we accept their so-called birthday gift, the Imperial court will give us a gift that is 100 times more than their birthday gift. They must have made a lot of money. Including the cost of receiving the envoys from the goguryeons along the way, it will cost hundreds of thousands of strings of coins. The place is also harassed, and it’s a waste of money and people. They used two worthless toys. We want to exchange our great song’s most precious books and records for them, and we even want to make a huge profit, but in the blink of an eye, more than half of these things will end up in the Khitans “pockets. To those goryeons, we can only talk about power, not about kindness.”

Dong dunyi was tongue-tied by Xia ping ‘an’s retort.

my Lord, the great song has wealth that no other country has, and my Lord is even richer than the four Seas. There are all kinds of rare treasures in the palace, and what’s so strange about a little trinket from the goguryeons? if the Golden Pagoda really comes to me during my birthday, I won’t be able to bear the sight of it. It’s fine if I don’t take it. Your Majesty, don’t lose the big picture for a small gain and let those goguryeons succeed in their evil plans, ruining the country’s Affairs. as she finished speaking, a graceful woman slowly walked into the hall with the help of a few Palace maids and eunuchs.

Song Shenzong quickly got up from his seat and went to help him up.

greetings, Empress Dowager Lao Ai! Dong dunyi and Xia ping ‘an hurriedly bowed.

The woman who had entered was the great song’s Empress Dowager and one of Su Shi’s loyal fans.

“When I was in the harem, I heard that those goryeons were coming to offer birthday wishes to me and caused some trouble. I was just about to come and tell you not to let those goryeons succeed in their evil plans and take advantage of our great song just because they were here to offer my birthday wishes. I don’t care for the things of the goryeons, and I feel that Lord su is right. The books of our great song are the blood, sweat, and wisdom of our predecessors. We can’t let those goryeons steal them and give them to the Khitans. That’s no different from helping the enemy, wuwuwu!”

When Xia ping ‘an heard this, he secretly gave the great song’s Empress Dowager a thumbs up.
