At this moment, Fu Jin was sitting next to Gao Zhang in the hall, listening to Gao Zhang telling all kinds of strange and interesting things about his journey north to the Liao Kingdom as an envoy.
When Gao Zhang talked about the tribes of women who relied on hunting and herding for a living, Gao Zhang thought of something important.
He reached into his arms and took out a small, narrow wooden box. After opening it, a golden hairpin was revealed inside.
The most surprising thing is that the top of this exquisitely crafted hairpin is inlaid with a blue bead about the size of a thumb.
This blue bead, under the reflection of the light, actually has colorful pearls looming.
Seeing that Mrs. Fujin, who was well-informed even in the palace, her eyes shone.
"Brother Xiao Gao, is this a gift from you?"
"Yes, the pearls above are also called Northern Pearls. They are unique to Liaodong. The production is not large. Blue beads like this are extremely rare."
Miss Fujin took it in her hands and played with it happily, muttering happily.
"Thank you, Brother Xiao Gao. You are so kind. You know what I like. Unlike my sister, you actually gave me a hard bow."
"Sister? Hard bow?" Gao Zhang's smile froze.
"Hmm..." Mrs. Fujin pursed her lips a little aggrievedly and told how she went to visit Miss Fang Baihua and gave her a silk handkerchief that she had embroidered by herself.
As a result, my sister gave me a hard bow that she had personally trained, and forced me to practice archery, which caused me to strain my tendons.
Seeing Chu Chu pitifully stretch out her pink and tender hands toward herself, she was like a little animal asking for comfort from the little Fujin lady.
Gao Zhang tried hard to control his eyelids from twitching wildly and the corners of his mouth from twitching, and held her hand in his palm.
"Next time I will talk about her. Not every woman can go to the battlefield like her, be able to pull a three-stone bow, and pierce the Yang with a hundred steps."
This little girl is also very cute, at least she knows where to blow the pillow wind.
"Three stones...a hundred steps can penetrate a poplar..."
Fu Jin felt a little guilty when he thought that that tall young lady could hit the target in a hundred steps.
It seems that I didn’t arrange anything bad to say about my sister, right? Well, probably not...
#####
There was a movement outside the house, so Gao Zhang naturally couldn't stay for a long time. After saying a few words to the little lady Fujin, he left the house.
After muttering with Yang Jian and Wu Zhizhong outside the house, Gao Zhang left the Wu Mansion with Yang Jian.
Yang Jian took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, and directly hinted to Gao Zhang, stating that he had gone to Yuqing Zhaoying Palace for a stroll, and the Xiuzhen officials had actually been in the palace today.
Let me come here to see what you and Wu Shangshu talked about.
The two rode horses side by side. Since the master had sent people to care for him, Gao Zhang naturally had to express his feelings and follow Yang Jian straight to the palace.
Official Zhao Ji was not surprised at all that Xiao Gao accompanied Yang Jian into the palace.
Looking at Xiao Gao, who pushed the golden mountain and knocked down the jade pillar, and fell in front of him, the official Zhao Ji quickly stepped forward to help his beloved disciple.
Gao Zhang stubbornly bowed down again, his eyes red with excitement and expressed his excitement and surging mood.
"The master has worked so hard for his disciple's life-long event, and even allowed Emperor Maode to do this. It really makes the disciple lose his mind and heart, and he has no way to repay..."
"Okay, okay, I'm very pleased that you can understand my teacher's good intentions."
He helped Gao Zhang up again and pulled his beloved disciple to sit down in front of the case with him.
Looking at this beloved disciple who is now sixteen years old, but still as humble and well-behaved as ever.
When he thought that in a few days, he would become his beloved son-in-law, the smile on Zhao Ji's face became more and more kind.
He began to ask with concern about the results of his mission to Liao.
"First of all, I have to report a great news to my master. This time I accompanied Privy Master Zheng on a mission to the Liao Kingdom, and got to know the Han minister of the Liao Kingdom, Guanglu Qing Ma Zhi, who served in the Liao Kingdom..."
Now that he had the opportunity to clear the palace dungeon alone, Gao Zhang recounted his dealings with the Han officials of the Liao Kingdom one by one.
However, Gao Zhang did not tell too much about the situation of the female straight tribes in advance, but just mentioned it in one word, just to prevent the master in front of him from being stunned.
Just like in history, Xixia was left alone and went to peck each other with the Liao chickens.
The focus is still on the fact that the Han officials of the Liao Kingdom are very dissatisfied with the current political system and political environment of the Liao Kingdom.
Many people even came up with the idea that instead of serving a foreign race, it would be better to welcome the orthodox Han regime in the Central Plains.
The official Zhao Ji's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. But fortunately, Gao Zhang also knew how to use words to calm down Zhao Ji.
Now, we have hooked up with some Han Liao officials who took office in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun.
But after all, it was only preliminary contact, and Ma Zhi and other Liao ministers who had the Song Dynasty also expressed their concern.
I hope the Song Dynasty can give them some time to contact more Han officials. Only when enough Han officials stand on the side of the Song Dynasty.
If the Song Dynasty has the opportunity to go north in the future, there will definitely be a large number of internal officials and officials.
He called on the Han people living in the sixteen states of Youyun to raise their weapons against the king of the Song Dynasty, and asked them to be willing to put down their weapons and surrender.
#####
"It's wonderful, it's really wonderful. Fortunately, I asked you to go on a mission this time. Otherwise, how could there be such good news? Hahaha..."
Official Zhao Ji liked it so much that he rubbed his hands and walked quickly in the hall.
"Xiao Gao, you are really a lucky star to become a teacher. It seems that my long-cherished wish since the founding of the Song Dynasty for more than a hundred years will really have the opportunity. It will be decided by you and me as master and disciple."
"What the Master said is absolutely true. Master, as long as there is a destiny, the disciple will not give up even if he dies."
"Don't say such unlucky words, we masters and disciples, please be kind. I am waiting for you to have a happy relationship with Fujin for a hundred years, and to give you a lot of talented and talented national pillars."
Hearing this exhortation full of expectation and earnestness, Gao Zhang reluctantly twitched the corners of his mouth to show it.
It’s true that I’m an unborn talent, but I’m not a claw machine that can be played with just one click.
Next, Zhao Ji insisted on asking Gao Zhang to explain in detail which officials in the Liao Kingdom were willing to collude with the Song Dynasty, what backgrounds they had, and what kind of demands they had.
He even listened to Xiao Gao's suggestion and asked Yang Douzhi and Zhao Abban of the Imperial City Division to enter the palace with a large amount of information about the Liao Kingdom.
Here, there are also related to the land of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures that the He Liao Envoy passed through, as well as the related Liao Army placement and defense map in the Liaodong area.
Unconsciously, it passed midnight, until the sky outside the imperial study began to become brighter.
Only then did he realize that a whole night had passed.
