Zhao Zhen stood at the entrance of Tokyo City and led all officials to welcome the return of the mission. The prosperous city of Tokyo City opened its arms to every citizen who had left her.

The civil and military officials in the court whispered, and they didn't know why the officials left the city to welcome the return of the mission in person. Zhao Zhen did not explain the mystery to them. After all, what Xia Shu and Cai Boyi did not do was to be up to the point.

In the eyes of the court officials, the officials attached too much importance to the mission to return to Song. They just needed to summon the delegation with great courtesy in the Daqing Hall. Why should they be so serious as a triumphant army? Only Song Xiaoyi stood in the shadow of the city gate and nodded slightly. He understood everything Xia Shu and Cai Boyi did in the Liao Dynasty.

It can be said that the civil strife in the Liao Dynasty was caused by the two of them, which instigated the relationship between Empress Dowager Fatian and Emperor Liao, and even the death of Empress Dowager Qi Tian was related to them. As long as the Liao Dynasty was inseparable from peace, Song Xiaoyi would not care about etiquette and law.

When did the black hand abide by etiquette?

Song Xiaoyi has become accustomed to hiding in the shadows. On the side is Chen Lin, who is like a rotten wood. He is now more and more fond of this young man because this kid is becoming more and more like him, but he is not castrated.

But to be honest, Chen Lin also felt sad for the young man and sighed: "Are you so willing to hide in a place that is invisible forever?"

Song Xiaoyi leaned against the solid city wall and curled up his body into the shadow and said, "Is there anything wrong with this? I have promised the official to always be his shadow and deal with shameful things at all times. How can I do things when I see the light?"

Chen Lin smiled bitterly and said, "You know that the official family is not that kind of person. As long as you speak, the official family will definitely let you stand out!"

"Why do you have to stand out? I think the current assignment is very suitable for me. To be honest, the official has done my best to me. I even proposed to change me to a civil servant, at least a Grand Secretary of the Longtu Pavilion. It's a pity that I am not good at doing my best and I have too little knowledge in my heart. I still think that my current job is most suitable for me, right?"

Chen Lin nodded affirmatively and said, "This is right. You guys don't know why. You are born to be a mastermind. You can always handle these secret matters properly. The government is afraid that the government cannot do without you."

Song Xiaoyi laughed and said, "I was born to be useful... Who?!"

"Oh! I just know that the children adopted by the official family were not simple. Now it seems that it is true. Do you still remember me?"

Who is it that Lu Zongdao is not standing by the city wall but never stepping into the shadow?

"Lu participates in politics?" Song Xiaoyi looked at Lu Zong in surprise and said for a moment that he didn't know what to say. This person was the person Song Xiaoyi respected the most besides the official family. Only his rocker in the entire Song Dynasty was the hardest. Whenever he encountered unfair things, he would always report to the official family in time.

Lu Zongdao smiled helplessly: "How do you know the Liao Dynasty and tell me how to tell me about it?"

"What is Lu Zheng talking about?"

Seeing Song Xiaoyi pretending to be stupid and Chen Lin pretending to be dead, Lu Zong said angrily: "You think I don't know anything. The princes in the court may be deceived, but they are not all pedantic people. Wang Xianggong avoids talking about the Liao Dynasty and smiles all day long. Ding Wei pretends to be confused because of his understanding. Lu Yijian was out of the official family just because he contradicted his husband a few words. All this is unusual. In addition, the Liao Dynasty's drastic changes, anyone can see the key points, that is, the princes are unwilling to trek into this muddy water. You are clear!"

Chen Lin raised her eyelids in surprise and looked at Lu Zong in front of her. Is this still the pedantic and old-fashioned "fish head participation in politics"?

Song Xiaoyi and Chen Lin both underestimated the talent of literati. Even if a pedantic person could become a magistrate, he would not go anywhere, let alone the deputy prime minister and political affairs?

Many officials in the court could see the strangeness, but everyone just didn't ask if they didn't want to say it. The reason was nothing else. Everything was too coincidental. The mission stayed in the Liao Dynasty for too long.

And it was precisely because Xia Shu and Cai Boyi had a series of changes during this period of the Liao Dynasty. Who wouldn't know that the connection was a fool! They just chose to shut up, but Lu Zongdao felt that he would not do this.

The duty of the counselor is to be in charge of admonishing the emperor with blunt words and slandering to realize his value in the court. Lu Zongdao has been responsible for admonishing since Zhao Zhen ascended the throne. As long as Zhao Zhen did not seize his mission in one day, he would not slacken.

Song Xiaoyi quietly pointed to the Shili Pavilion where Zhao Zhen was. As long as Zhao Zhen did not let him speak, he would not say everything even if he was beaten to death. Lu Zongdao said with emotion: "It is certainly true that you are loyal to the king's affairs, but if the civil strife in the Liao Dynasty was caused by my Song Dynasty, it would not be loyal to the king's affairs..."

"What does Lu's participation in politics mean? Could it be that we are helping the evildoer?!" Chen Lin's voice sounded gloomy, and he could not hear disrespectful words to the government the most.

Lu Zongdao sneered: "You kill your talent. I didn't know how many times you saved you, but now you don't know how powerful it is. A great country should do its own tricks. The ghost tricks can only succeed for a while and will never be able to face you. Do you want me, the Song Dynasty, to become a villain?!"

Chen Lin sneered: "I owe you a few favors, but don't make a conclusion too early. The official's own laws are not something you can guess."

Lu Zongdao nodded: "That's why we are asked to advise the ministers!"

Chen Lin wanted to say something, but saw the figure standing in the pavilion in the distance and sighed slightly, "Well, you are right to do what you should do. Your Majesty is indeed not as kind as the late emperor..."

Song Xiaoyi's face changed, these words were not what Chen Lin should say!

Lu Zongdao smiled and nodded and said, "You can see that too? The mercy of the official family is different from the late emperor, and there is no trace of weakness in it. Although this is a blessing for my Song Dynasty, I also need to be a good assistant, otherwise another Emperor Wu of Han will inevitably appear!"

Chen Lin smiled bitterly and shook her head and said, "What's wrong with Emperor Wu of Han? A generation of heroes will be admired by all ages!"

"But he is a one-man!! How do you explain to the late emperor a hundred years later?! Did you forget all the instructions from the late emperor? Yes! You are living comfortably now and avoid leisure in the dark hands. Don't play with the late emperor's instructions. Let Your Majesty become the lord of the virtuous king's revival!"

Chen Lin's words were like a knife that kept shaved against Chen Lin's old skin, making him feel uncomfortable all over. Song Xiaoyi, who was beside him, was staring at them blankly for no reason. What was going on? Why did he have something to do with the late emperor again?

Song Xiaoyi did not know that Chen Lin and Lu Zongdao had received secret orders from Zhenzong, and strictly ordered them to assist Zhao Zhen and advise him to advise him.
