Liang Yifu had a blue face. It was so ugly that it was so ugly that it was indescribable.

Zhao Zhen on the dragon throne was very happy and wanted to laugh out loud.

Looking at the group of people kneeling at their feet, especially the two old enemies of Xixia and Khitan, Uncle Zhao was about to fly.

Not all emperors of any dynasty can enjoy kneeling and worshiping every day. They are surrounded by a group of slaves, and a large group of women who have traveled through time are trying hard to squeeze into their arms.

In fact, before the Tang Dynasty, most people sat on the ground, even the emperor was no exception. They lowered their heads and turned sideways, even if they expressed obedience. In the Tang Dynasty, seats appeared, and the emperor and his ministers also sat on the same page.

When they reached the Song Dynasty, the treatment of ministers was reduced a little, and they needed to reply. Of course, some people with higher status and older age, especially those who entered the level of priesthood, could still be on par with the emperor.

As for the etiquette of the face, just bow and bow again and again at most.

Kneeling and kowtowing is a very grand occasion for offering sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth.

Generally speaking, when the new king ascended the throne and had to kowtow at a large sacrificial ceremony, the ritual only needed to bow. For example, after Wen Tianxiang was captured, he met Kublai Khan and said that he bowed south and kneeled north. The ministers of the Song Dynasty did not need to kneel down to the emperor. Kowtow was the act of the barbarians.

The ministers of the Song Dynasty did not kowtow. How could the considerate officials of the Ministry of Rites make it possible for foreign envoys to kowtow? Therefore, the original design was just a bow and congratulations.

However, when Xixia rushes to be the first place, Wang Ning'an has an idea. If you want to run ahead, then let you help you and kneel down to the Emperor of Song Dynasty!

Not only do you kneel once, but you also kneel three times, and perform the great ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times!

Wang Ning'an proposed the idea at that time, and Jia Changchao frowned.

This is really an excessive way. Perhaps the countries that come here may all be willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty, especially the Western Xia and the Khitan. One is a thorny person and the former boss, how could he bow his head?

Wang Ning'an was full of confidence. Although the etiquette and law of different countries were different, there were generally kneeling rituals, especially the countries in the Western Regions, which were packaged by Wang Ning'an. Not to mention kneeling, even if it was ten thousand times more difficult, they had nothing to say.

Although Jiaozhi and other countries may not be willing to bow their heads, they rely on the strength of the Song Dynasty and are not afraid of them not bowing their knees under the threats and temptations.

The remaining countries such as Tianzhu, Dashi, etc. were not the regular envoys, but were mostly merchants. Even officials and nobles had low status and were easy to settle.

After all the calculations, only the Liao Kingdom and the Xixia Kingdom remain.

Wang Ning'an calculated that it was impossible for Xixia to bow his head, and it was useless to say it.

However, the Liao Kingdom, these days, their warriors have participated in many competitions and ranked well. Although Yelu Huage and his men are very suspicious of the Song Dynasty, they have placed the prizes and the stone statues are also erected.

They are not willing to speak harshly, and with economic sanctions, they are in urgent need of tea, so they can be bought.

As long as the Khitan kneels, there is only one Xixia left. Do they dare not kneel?

Wang Ning'an told the plan and immediately received the approval of Jia Changchao. Zhao Shu was still a little confused, "Master, what if the envoy from Xixia does not kneel down?"

"Hahaha, Your Highness, they are the only one left, and you can make a big fuss! At that time, Your Highness only needs to give the command to let the guards drive the envoys of Xixia out, and declare Xixia as an enemy country, and call on all countries to fight together."

Zhao Shu's eyes lit up and he gave his master a thumbs up!

This matter was left to Lu Hui. Lord Lu didn't perform well enough just now and seemed a little weak. In order to regain his face, he ran to the Khitan's inn overnight.

He also used a trick. When facing the Khitan envoy, Lu Hui only said to kneel once, and did not mention the matter of kneeling three times... In this way, he only took down the Khitan for only 50,000 harboring tea, saving half of the price for the court!

...

I have to say that under the influence of Wang Ning'an, there were really not many good people in the Song Dynasty.

When he entered the palace to congratulate, Zeng Gong called out the word "kneeling", represented by envoys from Khotan and Western Regions, and knelt down in an instant.

The others hesitated a little and all knelt down.

Yelu Huage couldn't hold on either.

As a result, only Liang Yifu was left. He swore that he would never want to kneel down and would rather kill him than kneel down!

But he was the only one left, standing alone in the middle of the Daqing Hall, with guards around him, their eyes as lightning and their power were magnificent. Zhao Zhengao sat on the dragon throne with a very strict demeanor.

Liang Yifu's knees became weak. He felt that there was a mountain of Tai that was pressing on his back and had to kneel down!

After all, in this world, strength is still important.

The Xixia lost Hengshan and Hexi Corridor one after another, and its national strength declined, and its military strength was only half of its heyday. It was trapped in Hetao and was in danger of its reign.

Although they tried their best to win over the Khitan and hoped to join forces with Yelu Hongji to compete with the Song Dynasty, the people of Xixia were not stupid. They were not wishful thinking. It would be impossible for the Khitan and the Song Dynasty to join forces to divide them together.

After all, the two families may not be able to get benefits when dealing with the Song Dynasty, but if they divide the Xixia, they will have at least a large piece of fat. This is a choice for long-term interests and immediate interests.

For grassland tribes, few people will consider the long-term.

Especially when Yelu Huage knelt down, Liang Yifu's fear became even stronger. Could it be that the nightmare came true? He chose to surrender... Kneeling down was just like that... With the first time, it would be easier later.

He knelt three times in a row, and he lost Liang Yifu's temper. He only had an old face with an old blue face, his fingers shaking constantly, showing his fear and shame in his heart.

Finally, the lengthy etiquette ended, but for some people, it was almost like a century.

At this time, Zhao Zhen showed a satisfied smile.

He actually got up from the dragon throne... This was a link that was not available. Zhao Shu hurried over to support him, but Zhao Zhen waved his hand and asked his son to follow him only.

Zhao Zhen walked down Danji step by step and stood in front of the envoys from various countries. He took a deep breath. At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world was kneeling at his feet!

"Once Emperor Taizu, my Song Dynasty, built a foundation and established a career, passed down to me. After four emperors, the country has been prosperous for a hundred years, the country has become prosperous and the people have become prosperous, the country has been safe and the people have been prosperous, the holy virtue is magnificent, blessings are blessed, and we will be far away from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and we will chase Yao and Shun!" Zhao Zhen's voice was loud and echoed in the hall.

Zhao Shu almost laughed out loud as he heard this, Dad, you have always been reserved and humble all your life, and finally you have failed at this moment. You dare to say anything, and your son blushed!

Of course, Zhao Shu only dared to think about it for a moment, and immediately became serious and listened to his father's words.

"I have been in power forty and another year, and have worked hard to govern, reform and reform, and the world has been completely governed. Today, all nations come to celebrate, and the whole world is celebrated together. My kindness has been added to the world, and my virtues have reached all countries. You and others come from afar and work hard. I specially allow you to exempt you from taxes, buy goods at will, and transport the goods from the Song Dynasty back to your country, and celebrate with everyone, and bathe in kindness."

Good guy, Uncle Zhao is not really confused.

Zhao Shu was afraid that his father would reward money as soon as he opened his mouth. In that case, how much money would it cost to so many countries?

You know, the budget for this grand ceremony was very tight. Foyin, Wang Ning'an, and Zhao Zongjing each offered 1 million guan, and there were also tickets for the competition, providing more than 2 million guan. As for the Ministry of Revenue and the Palace, they also allocated 2 million guan, and now there are very few left.

If you reward the messenger again, you will be compensated.

Fortunately, it is just tax-free. Anyway, the goods you buy are all from the Song Dynasty, and it is acceptable to prosper the market.

After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, Big Bear from the Bohai Kingdom, Zhao Li from the Khotan Kingdom, Dong Wen from the Qing Tang Kingdom, and other Western countries knelt down again to thank the emperor for his generous gift.

Liang Yifu and Yelu Huage's faces turned green, but they had no choice but to kneel down.

Zhao Zhen was very pleased. Standing above all nations and enjoying endless glory, this taste is really intoxicating!

Even if it's only one moment, it's enough!

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "Please be calm, I will give you a banquet in the palace tonight, and everyone will celebrate together."

After saying that, Zhao Zhen turned around and Zhao Shu noticed that his father's temples were sweating a little.

Obviously, these words of full vigor have overdrawn the emperor's energy. Zhao Shu hurriedly followed, helped his father and left Daqing Palace.

After arriving at the side hall, Zhao Zhen sat down, his back was already wet. The palace servant quickly helped change his clothes and took off the heavy crown. Zhao Zhen was loose and leaned against the soft blanket, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

Apart from being happy, just being happy!

There are not many kings of all dynasties that can be widely praised by people.

This year's birthday celebration was so successful that Zhao Zhen was pushed to the pinnacle of history in an instant.

Duke Huan of Qi merged with the princes nine times, and the alliance between Kuiqiu was the most prosperous!

Emperor Wu of Han Fengshan Mountain.

Emperor Taizong of Tang was respected as the Khan of Heaven.

These are their peak moments!

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was relatively sad. If Taizu and Taizong could restore Yan Yun and defeat the Khitan, they might also enjoy the feeling of peak. It’s a pity that they failed.

As for Zhenzong, when he ran to Mount Tai, he not only did not climb to the top, but instead destroyed the sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred sacred for all eternal jokes.

Zhao Zhen was lucky than them. He first took it back to Youzhou, then severely damaged Western Xia and opened up the Western Regions. In his later years, the national fortune of the Song Dynasty suddenly changed!

A grand ceremony for a long life, all nations come to pay tribute!

Zhao Zhen was suddenly pushed to the peak of an emperor and could be compared with the wise and holy lords of all generations. At this moment, Uncle Zhao really felt that he had no regrets of his death.

Zhao Shu served his father, took two sips of ginseng soup, and recovered his energy.

"Son of the Emperor, now there is only one regret left in the father."

Zhao Shu's hands shook and his face turned red.

He knew what his father meant was getting married and having a big wedding!

Once he gets married, he will become an adult from a child. If he is born successfully, he will be his father and a legitimate emperor. He will rule the world and no one will dare to question and restrain himself.

When that time really came, Zhao Zhen felt relieved.

"Son of the Emperor, can anyone choose in your heart?"

Zhao Shu's face turned even redder, and he nodded.

"I have it, I'm just afraid..."

"What are you afraid of? Are there anyone who doesn't want to be a mother in the world?" Zhao Zhen said with a chuckling.
