Zhao Huan was a sly talker, speaking eloquently and moving among the concubines in the harem with ease. Zhao Huan thought to himself: I am a fucking genius.
Zhu Lian was deeply moved and said, "Your Majesty, I will tell the imperial kitchen to prepare it right away."
"No, no," Zhao Huan shook his hands: "I'm not hungry, really not. I just came to accompany you and talk to you." This was the only true sentence he said. He had already eaten and drunk enough in Luoyu Pavilion.
The next day, Zhao Huan came to the Purple Palace for the morning court session.
The Xixia envoy had already arrived. He was a burly man with a fierce look on his face, a shaved head, and arms covered with tattoos.
Zhao Huan cursed in his heart: Are you pretending to be a gangster? I’m going to beat the shit out of you later.
"Who is this person down there?" Zhao Huan deliberately pretended to be arrogant.
The Xixia envoy placed his right hand on his chest, bowed, and said, "Xixia envoy Xiao Zunru greets His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty!"
"Xiao Zunru? Who gave you this name?" Zhao Huan asked lazily.
Xiao Zunru frowned slightly, secretly furious. This wasn't the demeanor of an emperor; it was simply that of a street thug. But he didn't dare not answer the emperor's question.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Song, this minister's name was bestowed upon me by my Lord."
Zhao Huan nodded slightly. "Li Ganshun gave you this name. I guess your Xixia Emperor is a great admirer of Confucianism?"
Xiao Zunru was delighted: "Exactly, your Majesty, as he said: The greatest virtue of a scholar is filial piety and integrity; the most important model for governing a country is Confucianism. When the Northern Wei Dynasty founded the country and the Zhou and Qi dynasties succeeded, they all respected Confucianism and admired poetry and books. It seems that the legacy of the northwest cannot be used to establish a culture."
Zhao Huan nodded lazily again: "So your emperor respects Confucianism, which means he advocates loyalty, filial piety, trustworthiness, brotherly love, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, and wisdom?"
Xiao Zunru nodded happily and said, "That's right, that's right."
Suddenly, Zhao Huan's eyes flashed with ferocity, and he changed his lazy attitude just now. He shouted loudly: "If that's the case, why did you, Xixia, invade my Song Dynasty and plunder my people? Are you bullying me because my Song Dynasty has no people? Ah!"
