It's not far from Wende Hall to Zichen Hall, and Zhao Xi accompanied his father without walking too far before arriving.

  Zhao Xi only then realized that the reception of envoys and the banquet for scholars were not much different, but only differed in rank and prestige.

  There is also a point where the national dynasty and the envoys are seated opposite each other, only the emperor stands alone.

  Zhao Xi is also considered a ministerial official, located on the left side of his father's desk, under the first step... This is probably the origin of the title "Your Highness".

  Take a look at Runan King and Beihai King, who are under my command. Zhao Xi can't help but feel a little proud... You're just a younger cousin, you have to obey me too!

  As the eunuchs shouted loudly, the envoys of Dashu entered the palace one after another.

  Indeed a rustic villager, can't talk about etiquette, entering the palace without any rules, just swarming in like a beehive.

  Zhao Xi found that the person sitting opposite him was actually a young man... This must be the Crown Prince of Dashu.

  A sturdy young man, with a long-term invasion of wind and sand, looks like his face is anxious. Zhao Xi estimated that this kid was probably only fifteen or sixteen.

  A tuft of hair on the forehead, then a shiny bald head, and finally a small braid tied up from behind the ears... Zhao Xi found it novel and took several more glances.

  Alas... growing up like this and still not letting people see?

  That little brat opposite actually glared at me and looked vicious. Who does he think he is?

  Zhao Xi looked at him with a silly expression and couldn't help but wonder what would happen if she continued watching.

  No matter what era, this age is the most arrogant and also the age with the most obvious rebellious psychology.

  Zhao Xi was over forty years old, but he still acted like a child, and everyone felt that he was being taken advantage of.

  ……

  The battle of wits has already begun in the grand hall, with you and I exchanging words, the atmosphere is tense and intense.

  Zhao Xi casually listened and said it's not a matter of principle whether it's a tribute or a gift... This is what the imperial court values most.

  In Zhao Xi's opinion, what kind of rhetoric is really irrelevant, getting practical benefits is what matters. The problem is that after several confrontations, the results were all embarrassing and disappointing, so they could only gain an advantage in writing.

  This time it seems like the dispute has become real.

  It's actually about discussing how much age is added each year.

  They have already given everything, but they are still enthusiastic about this trivial matter.

  Watching one by one like they had been injected with chicken blood, making irrelevant references and talking nonsense, Zhao Xi was also speechless.

  Too busy talking nonsense about himself, didn't even look at the few strands of hair on his opponent's head, and basically didn't understand a thing.

  Not to mention them, even Zhao Xi would have to think for half a day... This issue of how much to give each year, how can it be related to the ancient sages?

  Never mind them, anyway I'm here to entertain this young boy with a tuft of hair, so let's continue to tease him.

  "Our Da Xia prince is here, but you entertain him as a royal son. I have heard that your court has had prime ministers like Yi and Huo, and also princes who were raised in the palace. If there is anything unusual about the position of our prince, and if you have been remiss in your courtesy, I will not hold it against you."

  Who is this? Isn't it bad to swindle money? You must be swindling your own grandfather!

  Zhao Xi heard this and knew he had his own business.

  As soon as the words fell, they first looked at themselves, then at the King of Ru Nan beside them, and finally at their old father.

  It's true, this sentence really works. As for Ruyi Wang, it's not necessary to mention him, he was touched by the painful point, the painful point of two generations of spare tires. This remark made him embarrassed, awkward, and even had the idea of fleeing in a hurry, at the same time, he would definitely harbor evil intentions towards Zhao Xi... This has already happened, and Zhao Xi doesn't care.

  The key is that Old Man's face doesn't look good either.

  Isn't this Old Man worrying too much? No way, even if he's stupid, he knows that the throne won't be given to others, no matter how weak the Old Man is. When it comes to the succession of the great dynasty, there's no room for discussion.

  The most crucial thing is: this one sentence actually made the entire grand hall fall silent.

  "Who are you?"

  Zhao Xi had no choice but to take over. If things continued like this, it wouldn't just be his father who would become disheartened - even the officials in the imperial court might start having some misgivings.

  "I am Taizi Zhongyun of Great Xia."

  Look at this kid's answer, it is still quite glorious.

  "What's Jingxun? What is Jingxun?"

  Zhao Xizhen didn't know how to express her disdain in a more elegant way, and there really wasn't a word like "plaything" that could accurately convey her emotions.

  It just slipped out like this, and I feel that it's a bit inappropriate for this occasion. Since I've already said it, there's no need to explain anything.

  "Replying to Wang Ye, Jing Xun is nothing. He was originally a scholar of our dynasty, but after repeatedly failing the imperial examination, he defected to Da Xia."

  Who is this? The match is perfect, Zhao Xi really wants to give a thumbs up...... It's Wang Su, this old fellow is not bad.

  "Oh, so it wasn't a trivial matter. Forgive me, forgive me, I was rude and disrespectful. Judging from your attire, I thought you were an attendant of our dynasty, but it turns out you are Zhongyuan, the Crown Prince of Great Xia."

  "Dare I ask, what's wrong with you... Why haven't you changed the customs and practices? Are you ashamed to face your ancestors? Or does Great Xia not recognize you?"

  Isn't it just acupuncture? I can do it too.

  "This is the law of our Great Xia, Your Highness needn't worry. It's just that you're dressed as an imperial prince, which has led us to suspect."

  It's really a person from the imperial court, just relying on this white and powerful aura, it's not something that people from Daxia can learn.

  "This king didn't think much of it. Originally thought that Dashu would definitely be full of talents, but today seeing the scene... that thing, this king just realized that Dashu actually has a hobby of collecting trash."

  "By the way, what's-his-name Jing, do you know that your parents know? Do your ancestors know? Remember, next year during the ancestor worship festival, don't forget to write down your position with paper money and report it to comfort your ancestors... The younger generation has brought glory to their ancestors!"

  Zhao Xi was clear that, whether in the past or present, as long as they were Han people, their worship of ancestors was deeply rooted and ran through their veins, and would not change regardless of who they served.

  "King of Wu, you worry too much. My family matters, I will handle myself. What about your family matters? How are they?"

  I'm going! Zhao Xi dragged out his ancestors, thinking that he could make this grandson think about the things he had to do with his ancestors for a while. Unexpectedly, this grandson really didn't care about his ancestors.

  Forget it, if you can be a traitor, I guess you don't have the concept of ancestors anymore.

  "That... view, I see you care about our country's affairs. Do you have the intention of returning south? This matter I can help with. As for Crown Prince Zhongyan having difficulties, and as for other things..."

  At this time, Zhao Xi stopped and looked at the young man in front of him... Hmm, that's right, you should be staring at this scenery, otherwise Zhao Xi would also think that the young man in front of him was an old fox.

  "Do not tarnish my good name! I am a minister of Great Xia, and when I die, I will be a ghost of Great Xia!"

  The slogans are just these two sentences. One look at you and your words don't match your heart. Just now, I clearly saw that you were waiting for me to finish speaking.

  "Cut! That... Jing something, are you ruining my reputation? Is it necessary? The key is, I want to know, with your behavior, do you still have a reputation? Don't drag down the word 'reputation', don't tarnish these two characters!"

  Zhao Xi finally expressed himself bluntly and disdainfully.

  "My situation is clear, I know it. How about you, Prince E? You should know too. He is the one who has been supporting and fostering the young master in the inner courtyard, this is what Prince E should be worried about."

  You're really a tough cookie, aren't you, Little Qiang? Zhao Xi finally understood a phrase: "A person can be worthless but still unbeatable."
