The officialdom system of the Khitan people was almost completely copied from the Song Dynasty.
What Zhongshumen, Xiashumen, Liusi, etc., if people who were officials in the Song Dynasty went to Liao Kingdom, they could almost seamlessly connect and integrate into it.
Even the official dialect is Song dialect.
Because of this, many unsuccessful scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty were "poached" to serve as officials in the Liao Kingdom, or they defected to the Liao Kingdom to serve as officials.
Nearly half of the officials in the Liao Kingdom were originally Song people!
So the Liao Kingdom knew the Song Dynasty very well.
The man standing outside the fence, except for a slightly different face from the Song people, his clothing and temperament are almost the same as those of the Song people.
If it weren't for the slight difference in the official uniform that betrayed his identity, Lu Sen and Zhan Zhao would only regard this man as a Songhua prairie man.
"Khitan people!" Zhan Zhao jumped out of the yard, and asked with some precaution: "Why are you here?"
Whether it is because of his status as a friend or his duty as a warrior, Zhan Zhao feels that he has an obligation to protect Lu Sen.
This Khitan man looked quite heroic, he cupped his fists and said: "A certain is Situ of the Southern Academy, Xiao Du, whose name is Jieshuang, and I am here to ask to see Master Lu."
Zhan Zhao frowned.
Although it is said that the officialdom system of the Liao State was almost completely copied from the Song Dynasty, it still retains some of its characteristic official positions.
For example, the title of King of the South (North) Institute.
The combination of the two official positions can be regarded as the privy envoy of the Song Dynasty.
Mainly in charge of foreign forces and foreign wars.
And a Situ under the command of the king of the Southern Court suddenly went to Bianjing City to act as an envoy, which is very important.
This Xiao Jieshuang was the envoy who mocked civil and military officials in the court not long ago. After he left the Song Palace, he came straight to the low mountain.
He said that he was asking to see him, but he could only see his hands slightly arched, but he didn't bend down, and he looked quite arrogant.
Lu Sen stood behind the fence and said, "I am Lu Sen. What do you want from me?"
"I heard that Lu Zhenren is a man of extraordinary powers and supernatural powers. Can you demonstrate it to open someone's eyes?"
Lu Sen raised the corners of his mouth and grinned: "Why? It's just a barbarian, and you can see the magic!"
After finishing speaking, Lu Sen turned around and left with his sleeves.
Is it just a person who wants him to perform magic tricks? When he is a dog, he should bark?
Zhan Zhao also shook his head helplessly, turned around and left.
Seeing that Lu Sen was going back upstairs, Xiao Du wanted to rush up to stop him, but he just took two steps before he saw a handsome man in sky blue long gown standing in front of him.
"Don't come near unless you have one." Zhan Zhao clasped his sword in both hands, and said slowly: "This is the important place of the immortal family, Khitan people, please go back."
Xiao Du frowned slightly, he was tall, half a head taller than Zhan Zhao.
Moreover, he is also the son of a general of the Liao Kingdom. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has also fought in the battlefield. He dare not say that he is one against a hundred, but at least he is also a master who can move in and out of the crowd freely.
But facing Zhan Zhao, he felt rather uncomfortable.
This is the difference between a warrior on the battlefield and a knight in the rivers and lakes.
Fighting alone, or fighting with three or five people, naturally the knight is stronger.
But if it is on the battlefield, the killing efficiency of a knight can't keep up with that of a warrior.
The focus of martial arts is different.
"You are quite powerful." Xiao Du sized Zhan Zhao up and down for a while, and then asked with a smile, "A lackey of Master Lu?"
These words sounded insulting to the Song people, but to the Khitan people, they were quite normal.
?Because they themselves are used to calling themselves "so-and-so's lackeys" to refer to someone's subordinates.
Zhan Zhao knew Khitan to a certain extent, knew what the other party meant, and said with a smile, "It's not a running dog, but a friend."
Lu Sen also turned around at this time, and said: "Zhan Butou is my best friend, this friend, please be more polite."
"Is Master Lu willing to talk to someone?" Xiao Du clasped his fists and said with a smile: "We northerners are always upright, unlike you southerners who are so mean-spirited. If what I said just now offended you two, I apologize."
After that, he bent down slightly, and then said: "This time I came here with sincerity, and I want to talk to Master Lu."
The other party spoke sincerely and generously, if it were someone else, they might just smile away their grievances.
But Lu Sen said: "You are very interesting. You pretend to be a man who doesn't care about trifles. If you say the wrong thing, you want to use this method to get away. Is it interesting?"
The Khitan man named Xiao Du was taken aback for a moment, then embraced?It can give some advice to us dull officials. "
Lu Sen smiled. He raised the big glazed jug in his hand, poured a cup of honey water for the three of them, and then said: "Political affairs have always been handled by your civil servants, and besides, if a Taoist like me is involved in politics, you can hardly sleep or eat." Ann."
"It's the true nature of a man to rush forward when a major event is imminent." Bao Zheng stroked his beard and said, "You don't have to speak out in anger, the old man can tell that you have the world in mind."
The King of Runan County couldn't help laughing beside him: "How can you see that?"
"If it weren't for this, Master Lu would have already practiced alchemy."
Opening a furnace to practice alchemy is the Taoist's 'exclusive' skill. Besides, Lu Sen has real skills. As long as he dares to say this in front of the officials, the officials will definitely respond.
And many officials who wish to live forever will also secretly support it. They definitely want money and people.
The King of Runan County smiled even more happily: "My son-in-law, did you see that this is Wenquxing, who is full of literary spirit, and this is a civil servant who stands proudly. When they don't need you, they will think you are an eyesore. When I can use you, I will start to play tricks on you."
Lu Sen also found it funny, and couldn't help grinning.
Think about it, it is true.
Bao Zheng's face was a little embarrassed, but Pang Taishi's expression remained unchanged, and said: "Runan County King, you are also from the Zhao family, is it appropriate to say so?"
King Runan County rolled his eyes and stopped talking.
After all, he is also a prince, and he has his share in this world.
Otherwise, he would not have brought Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang to see Lu Sen, but he was really annoyed at Wen Chen's attitude of thinking of you when something happened, and going away when nothing happened.
"I can barely count as a quarter of the Zhao family." Lu Sen said with a smile: "Then Baofu Yin and Grand Master Pang, what do you two want me to do?"
It's not that Lu Sen forced himself to pay money, but that Zhao Bilian is also the owner of the Yin County, and the Runan County King is really good to Lu Sen.
Since marrying Zhao Bilian to Lu Sen, the Runan County King has time and opportunity to teach Lu Sen the unspoken rules of officialdom, and to remind others of their sophistication.
He often took him to the house for dinner, and he was more affectionate than his own son.
Lu Sen could feel that the other party really regarded himself as family.
He is not a wolf-hearted person, so to Zhao Bilian and Runan County King, this kindness must be returned.
"We hope that Master Lu can go to the north, Wen Hezhong's family, and stop the Khitan army until the Western Xia campaign is truly completed." Bao Zheng cupped his hands and said.
At present, he is a privy envoy and has the power to command and control the world's soldiers and horses.
Formulating war strategies is also one of Bao Zheng's responsibilities.
"Just blocking, not killing?" Lu Sen asked.
"Don't kill." Bao Zheng said, clasping his fists.
"Oh, the benevolence of a woman." Lu Sen looked at Bao Zheng unhappily: "What are you afraid of? The Khitan people are training hundreds of thousands of soldiers at the border, and the heart of a wolf is clearly revealed. You are still thinking about it?" The two countries have diplomatic relations, and you don¡¯t want to hurt them?¡±
"We can't fight on two fronts!" Grand Master Pang said.
"Since you asked me to block it, you should understand that I can kill you too." Lu Sen sighed and said, "But you actually only want to stop the enemy outside the border, but don't want to break the border No, you should It's because they don't want to unify, the Yanyun sixteen prefectures are originally the territory of our descendants of Yan and Huang."
Both Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang stopped talking.
The atmosphere on both sides fell silent.
It took Lu Sen a long time to say: "I understand. You are still afraid that my reputation will be too great to suppress the imperial power, so you can make the court with one word, right?"
Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang looked at the sky almost at the same time, as if there was something rare on it.
The King of Runan County sneered at the side, disdainful, but also a sense of pleasure, he likes to see these great civil servants deflated.
Lu Sen was also silent for a while, and then said: "No."
Both Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang turned their heads to look at Lu Sen at the same time, both anxious.
"Really Lu, please focus on the overall situation and don't get angry." Grand Master Pang said anxiously.
Lu Sen snorted: "The overall situation is the most important thing? The more important the overall situation is, you should ask me to go to the north to pacify the frontier at all costs. Instead of using rhetoric to trick me here, you need me to work and use invisible shackles Bind me tightly! Do I owe you literati, or what? Heizhu, see off the guests!"
Having said that, the two sides are temporarily torn apart.
Of course, this was unilaterally torn by Lu Sen.
After Bao Zheng and Grand Master Pang left, the Runan County King who stayed behind said, "Son-in-law, you have done a good job, I feel comfortable!"
After all, he couldn't help laughing. When he was young, he was not "morally kidnapped" by these civil servants.
Now that my son-in-law has let himself out, it is naturally very refreshing.
He was happy, but after Bao Zheng went back, when he told the story, the whole court was a little depressed. </div>Unilaterally torn.
