The two thousand five hundred and seventy-sixth emperor met
The sky had just lighted up, but it was already past Chen. The closer it was to the northwest, the later it was dawn. However, Cai Boyi did not sleep at all last night, but was busy with a group of officials from the Three Divisions until now. He had to make complete preparations. In his opinion, the confrontation with the Seljuks has begun today.
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly as he looked at the busy people, looking at the fur coats on his body, feeling that he was now a "capitalist" who squeezed his subordinates.
Of course, these people are also future diplomats of the Song Dynasty. These people not only need to understand the economy, but also understand the analysis of political situations, and also know how to do better for the Song Dynasty.
Diplomacy has always been something ignored by the Han dynasty. I always thought that I was the superior country of the Celestial Empire and should sit firmly in the country and wait for the envoys from the foreign dynasty to come and pay their respects.
The original Song Dynasty was weak, let alone the time to send out. Of course, some small countries would still pay tribute to the Song Dynasty, just to get some benefits from the Song Dynasty.
Such things have happened in all dynasties, but they are not as obvious as the Zhu family in later generations.
But the Song Dynasty is different now. The powerful dynasty has begun to show its strength frantically, and diplomacy has become an indispensable functional need.
In Zhao Zhen's opinion, the court without diplomacy is incomplete. The Song Dynasty has just started diplomacy, but these people who are crazy and busy are the future.
Once the seeds are sown, they need to wait for them to grow up healthily. These people are the "seedlings" that are trying to take root. Zhao Zhenji is helpless and a little relieved because he saw his duty as an official of the Song Dynasty.
The thoughts of these people still retain the patriotic feelings of the scholars and officials for the country and the people, and the Han civilization has never lost the spirit that is integrated into the blood and engraved on the bones in the inheritance.
This is also the reason why later dynasties have been continued forever. Although they have been usurped by foreign tribes, the country will not be able to sit steadily, and in the end, the Han people will take back their own things.
After dawn, Zhao Zhen boarded the carriage prepared by Sancai, and Cai Boqi and his group accompanied him. The carriage started from the Song people's chamber of commerce in Dongcheng and encountered no obstacles along the way. After arriving at the city lord's mansion, Zhao Zhen realized that it was already under high alert, like a fortress.
After all, it was a meeting between the Song Dynasty and the supreme ruler of the Seljuk Empire. It is hard to say that it is important and is also extremely important to Amu City.
The Seljuk mission arrived almost at the same time as the Song Dynasty mission, and Faisal was already standing at the door waiting, and he welcomed the arrival of the two kings with the most humble attitude.
The first one to get out of the car with the imperial equipment. Zhao Zhen climbed up the stairs surrounded by them. On the right was Emperor Seljuk. He has been the rank of the left since the Han Dynasty, which is in line with the Han Dynasty.
For the Seljuks, they also agree with etiquette with the right as the right. There is no distinction between the two sides. The difference between the superior and the inferior is a clever arrangement.
This was the first time Zhao Zhen saw Tugluk's appearance. When he walked in, he realized that he was not as rough as he thought, but a masculine and wise man.
The facial features on it seem average, but when combined together, they give people a strong sense of oppression.
However, after seeing Zhao Zhen's appearance, Tugluk showed a surprised expression. He had heard about Zhao Zhen's many deeds before. In his guess, he should be an extremely majestic existence, but the man in front of him was gentle and radiating an alternative elegance.
But there is supreme majesty between actions and actions. This feeling is very strange and even a little contradictory, but it can exist harmoniously on Zhao Zhen.
"The people of Song often say, "It is better to see it at once than to hear it." Seeing the king of the Song Empire today really opened Tugluk's eyes!"
The slightly stiff Chinese language immediately startled Zhao Zhen, Cai Boqi and others. They didn't expect that this Seljuk man with curly hair and brown skin could speak fluent Chinese language.
Seeing Zhao Zhen’s surprise, Tugluk smiled and said, “I admire the Song Empire for a long time. Even though I can’t come in person, I can only learn Chinese and browse Chinese classics.”
Zhao Zhen nodded: "I never thought you were also a smart and studious person. I was quite touched when I saw you today! It would be so good to drink and talk happily!"
After Zhao Zhen said that, he kindly pulled up Tugluk's arm and entered the city lord's mansion together. Faisal waited respectfully behind him, and the kings and missions of the two countries entered, and then he stepped into it.
After he left, the gate of the city lord's mansion was immediately filled with soldiers holding shields and crossbow arrows and spears, staring at the uninhabited streets.
Yesterday he had issued the order of the city lord, and today anyone who appears on the street in front of the city lord's mansion will be ruthlessly slaughtered.
Faisal is a person who speaks the same thing, and this is true after he became the seat of the Lord's Mansion. Everyone in Amu City knows that no one can provoke his authority in Amu City.
In the largest living room of the city lord's mansion, Zhao Zhen sat north and south, while Tugluk was by his side. Recently, he had learned a lot of Han etiquette and naturally knew the emperor's rules.
In fact, they are all emperors and smart people. The current situation is already very clear. There is no need to do too many trivial matters. Playing with scheming is simply embarrassing.
"The Song Dynasty asked me to be Seljuk and not interfere with Jicini. Now Jiao Siluo is about to capture Jicini. Your Xiping King will soon be able to occupy Jicini. I, Seljuk, have made sincerity to make friends. I wonder if the Song Dynasty will betray Seljuk?"
Zhao Zhen looked at the covenant at hand, then put down and said, "It's good to leave the matter to the people below to discuss it. You don't need to discuss it here with me. What I want to know most is whether you, Seljuk, are you willing to sincerely join forces with the Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Israel to drive away the Crusaders?"
Zhao Zhen handed the problem to Tugluk. Everyone is smart and has no need to make intrigue here. What Zhao Zhen hopes to see is sincere cooperation.
Tugluk was a little surprised. According to his previous judgment, the last thing the Song Dynasty wanted to see was the end of the war between Seljuk and the Roman Empire, but now he really planned to make an agreement with him.
But why do we need to bring up the Kingdom of Israel? It is just a small country on the Mediterranean Sea.
However, he would not care about such trivial matters at this time. He is now eager to get help from the Song Dynasty, whether it is in military affairs or elsewhere.
Of course, Zhao Zhen saw through Tugluk's thoughts. The war on the Western Front of Seljuk was already very tight, and no one would have thought that the Crusaders' attacks were so fast and strong.
"The Seljuks will not break their promises, but they have shown great sincerity to the Song Dynasty. Please do not doubt my sincerity!"
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "It's so good. I, the Song people, have a saying: "You respect me one foot, I respect you one foot!" This time, the arms provided to Seljuk can be discounted by 10%, but the premise is that I, the Song Dynasty, will send a continuous expeditionary force to Israel."
"Expeditionary Force? Go to Israel?"
Tugluk was a little surprised. He never thought of asking the Song Dynasty to send troops to support Seljuk, because the person who came was not necessarily a friend, but a fierce hungry wolf.
Fortunately, it was not in Seljuk, but to Israel. Maybe there was a crack between the Song Dynasty and Israel...
