Chapter 38 It's all a family!

Jing Xun's attitude was pretty good, but Yu Zang Huama was a little bit thorny.

Yu Zanghuama looked at Su Shi and Ouyang Bian and focused his attention on Ouyang Bian, because Ouyang Bian stood there easily, both of them were Angzang's big men. They were young, but they were wearing red official uniforms. Their official uniforms were raised high by their pectoral muscles, which looked both majestic and domineering. The key was that people could see at a glance that this person was elegant and not a general, but a literati.

"You are Ouyang Bian?"

Yu Zanghuama glanced at her eyes and said, as if she was a little disdainful.

Ouyang Bian lowered his head slightly. Although Yu Zanghuama was still quite strong, he was only short and strong. As he was close, he could only look down.

Yu Zanghuama was stared at by Ouyang Bian. She wanted to express her toughness with her eyes, so she could only raise her head and look at Ouyang Bian. She just felt that this would be a loss, so she wanted to take a step back, but she regretted it just after taking a step back - doesn't this seem to be scared away?

Ouyang Bian chuckled and said, "I am Ouyang Bian. What advice do you have?"

Yu Zanghuama said arrogantly: "Some people say you are the smartest person in the Song Dynasty, but I can't think of it."

Ouyang Bian agreed with it: "You are talking about it. Of course, the smartest people in the Song Dynasty are our Majesty, and all the civil and military officials. Most of them are smarter than me, and I am indeed just a lie."

Yu Zang Huama: "..."

You can't talk like this. As usual, you should mock my brother.

Yes, this is the convention.

The diplomacy of the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Xia have always been like this. Although everyone tried to talk about diplomatic etiquette, they also wanted to suppress the other party. In addition, the relationship between Song, Xia, Liao and Xia was relatively poor, and because of mutual fear, the Liao and Song dynasties were relatively better.

Because the national strength of Xixia was not as good as that of the Song Dynasty, in some ways, Xixia rebelled again. The Song Dynasty was always thinking about killing Xixia and taking back Hetao. Xixia naturally did not accept it, so the two countries had more frictions.

Diplomatic envoys generally do not fight, but they will definitely fight each other verbally, so it is a routine to have a lot of fun every time they fight.

So Yu Zang Huama's attitude is not surprising, but Jing Xun's attitude is a bit strange.

Yu Zang Huama didn't know how to take it for a while, but Su Shi secretly praised: Ji Mo's mouth is indeed amazing.

Ouyang Bian seems to be willing to admit his disadvantage, but the implication is, yes, of course I am not the smartest person, and there are many people in China who are smarter than me. It is because of this that I came to serve in Xixia. The people of Xixia are not smart enough, so I can just come like this.

Yu Zang Huama didn't know how to answer because he really thought Ouyang Bian really thought he was not smart enough, and he was ready to provoke him all at once and didn't know if he should say anything.

Jing Xun should have understood, but he just smiled and didn't speak.

This attitude was very strange, which made Ouyang Bian a little alert.

Su Shi said that someone in Xixia specifically asked him to come, but he didn't know who this person was, but not many people could speak in the state affairs, and there were only a few people who were in full swing.

Yu Zang Huama stopped talking, so Jing Xun took it over and led the way while introducing the scenery on the road to Ouyang Bian and Su Shi.

"... Xingqing was built by Emperor Jingzong of our country during the Daqing period. The city is rectangular, with a circumference of more than 18 miles. The moat is ten feet wide, with two gates from north to south and one gate from east to west. The royal palace gardens in the city occupy a large area.

The road is square-shaped and the streets are wider. There are more than 20 neighborhoods such as Chongyi. There are also Chengtian Temple, Gaotai Temple, Jietan Temple, Buddha Courtyard, etc. in the city…”

Jing Xun introduced in official words with Shaanxi accent.

Ouyang Bian nodded while looking at the buildings on both sides. There were tall pavilions on both sides of Yu Street, which must have been just an image project.

Given the economy and culture of Xixia, behind the pavilions, it is estimated that there are only low earthen houses or slab houses.

The Dangxiang culture of Xixia itself is not a strong culture, so Xixia always jumps left and right, sometimes Chinese, sometimes foreign, and always doesn't understand its positioning. It is normal for such a country to disappear.

Unlike the Song people of this era, Ouyang Bian did not hate the Xixia people too much, because not only were there many Han people in Xixia, but even Dangxiang people were all Chinese. No matter what kind of alien races or non-international races, they all belong to the Chinese nation and are all members of the Chinese nation's big family, why bother with each other?

Not only the Western Xia, but also the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom, the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, and the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty, were all members of the Chinese nation and came from their own people.

If no one had this understanding at this time, Ouyang Bian would have advocated that the reason why everyone is Chinese and that Chinese people do not fight against Chinese people. If they can fool them, everyone will not have to fight. How great it is.

Thinking of the interesting thing, Ouyang Bian couldn't help but smile.

Yu Zang Mahua kept staring at Ouyang Bian secretly. Ouyang Bian smiled. Yu Zang Mahua thought Ouyang Bian was mocking Xixia, and immediately became angry: "Ouyang Bian, why are you laughing at? Are you mocking our Xia Kingdom?"

Ouyang Bian looked surprised and quickly admitted his mistake: "You misunderstood that the two countries of Song and Xia were brothers. During the Tang Dynasty, everyone was a real family, but they had to separate the family later. The brothers separated. Whatever the brothers talked about contempt and ridicule, they were all family!"

Ouyang Bian is a very pragmatic person. The dispute between words is useless, and he does not want to take advantage of words. Anyway, he is here to serve as the General Manager of Yongxing Army this time, and he still has intentions for Xixia. Do people who do big things need to benefit from words?

As an ambassador, as long as Ouyang Bian does not lose his national character and does not provoke unauthorizedly to cause diplomatic incidents, it is actually considered to have completed the task.

He was impatient to argue with Yu Zanghuama.

How childish!

When Ouyang Bian was young, he saw some diplomatic gossips, saying that a certain Grand Secretary led a delegation to a foreign country, then opened his mouth to conquer the enemy country, and made the enemy country dare not act rashly, etc., etc., it sounds like a pleasure, but the interests between countries cannot be shaken in a few words. If possible, it is also because of strength.

Talking to the other party here is at most a loss of speech, but how can you make up for it?

Ouyang Bian spoke sincerely, and he made Yu Zanghuama not know how to take it.

Jing Xun kept smiling, just observing Ouyang Bian's performance. Seeing Ouyang Bian like this, he became a little interested.

"Bachelor Ouyang, I admire the poems you wrote very much, and I even have collected your collection of Mingyue. However, it seems that you haven't written poems in a long time recently?"

Jing Xun said.
