Chapter 82

Liu Liufu received the official documents from the Khitan territory and read the arrangement of the Song army, and felt his chest was blocked. Since the Song army destroyed the Dangxiang, the strategic situation between the north and the south had fundamental changes, and the Khitan was passive everywhere. At the beginning, the Song army had no obvious intention to arrange the arrangement, which can be considered as a basis for talking. When Liu Liufu arrived, he insisted on the annual tribute, and then he changed to a basis for fighting.

Looking at the sun in the sky, Liu Liufu sighed, greeted his followers, and headed towards the south of the city.

Liu Liufu was treated to Song this time, and was much better than last time, and was even more different from the treatment he received at Qingzhong last year. Below Xu Ping, officials of the Song Dynasty invited him to have a banquet every few days, and people often visited him. Even Prime Minister Xu Ping once hosted a banquet to entertain Liu Liufu, which was something he didn't dare to think about before.

Liu Liufu knew very well that the Song Dynasty was so generous now that it was because it had the upper hand. If it was still threatened by Khitan cavalry to go south at all times, it would definitely not be so. Demeanor and etiquette, only with strength can one have confidence, otherwise it would be looked down upon.

Today is Ming Hao invited him to the Di Renjie ancestral hall in the south of the city. One is to pay tribute to his ancestors, and another takes advantage of the sunny days to have a banquet and have a chat about literature. The place he went to made Liu Liufu feel nervous. As a famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, Di Renjie was also very respected in the Khitan. The Song Dynasty even visited Di Renjie a few years ago and was appointed as an official and a sacrificial sacrifice. But the problem is that Di Renjie's greatest achievement in Daming, namely Weizhou during the Tang Dynasty, was to repel the Khitan's attack. As Ming Hao, who signed the affairs of the Privy Council, asked himself to go there. Is there any hint? Liu Liufu was considering this issue along the way and was restless.

Yan Shu was staying behind and renovated Di Renjie's ancestral hall when he was repairing the palace. At this time, he was completely renewed. When Liu Liufu arrived outside the door, there were soldiers waiting there, leading his horse to tie it up and introduced it into the door.

Xu Ping, Du Yan, Ming Hao and Ding Du, and several civil servants who followed Zhao Zhen to the northern tour, had already arrived and were watching the inscriptions of Di Renjie's ancestral hall. Seeing Liu Liufu coming, both sides talked about the ceremony, and put a wine table outside the pavilion and sat down.

After the cold break, Ming Hao said to Liu Liufu: "Di Liang Duke was famous minister during the Tang Dynasty. Empress Wu was in power alone and finally protected the country of Li Tang. Is this true wise man who worshipped such loyalty and kindness in the northern border?"

Liu Liufu bowed: "The world admires all virtuous people, so how can they distinguish between the north and the south? The country is the same as the Southern Dynasty. It has given generous pensions to the wise ministers of the previous dynasty to persuade the world."

As the Khitan politics gradually matured, they regarded themselves as China and did not think of themselves as barbarians. The Song Dynasty put Khitan and barbarians side by side, which would cause diplomatic disputes. Learning from the habits of the Central Plains dynasty, the Khitan also granted officials and titles to protect their sacrifices after the rule of the wise ministers of the previous dynasty under their rule. However, the resources in Yan land were small, so they could not even ask for a few. At this time, the Khitans could only sigh. In fact, the cultural context was in the south, and the Khitans in the bitter and cold land were still far from civil governance.

After discussing Di Renjie's deeds for a while, Ding Du said: "A few years ago, Fengsheng Road, Fan Jing walked past Di Lianggong Temple and once wrote the inscription of Di Lianggong. This article is very good. We are discussing it and inscribed the next day on the side of this stele."

Liu Liufu bowed: "Fan Jingluo is a great scholar at the moment, and the choice of literature at the moment must be excellent."

Seeing that the people present looked strange, Xu Ping smiled and said, "A real man should not speak to others in the world without any trouble. There is no need to learn from women and women to act secretly. Fan Jingluo's inscription records that Duke Liang of Di and Liang was guarding Wei. There was a bandit that I should say, and today's affairs were done, so I wanted to engrave the stele and record it. Today, the emperor was on the north tour and the oath with the Northern Dynasties had not been established. Seeing that the war was rising again, everyone was just moved."
