After Ethan Yun worked as a tour guide, he became familiar with the members of the Liao delegation. He felt that these people's attitudes were a little different from what he had imagined.
Due to various modern literary works and historical records, Ethan Yun has always felt that the relationship between Song and Liao was tense, and the envoys came here to constantly provoke and then get slapped in the face...
For example, Su Shi once slapped the face of an envoy from the Liao Kingdom. The envoy used an absolute number that no one in his country could match to make a question: the three lights of the sun, the moon and the stars. As a result, Su Shi gave three solutions in minutes, one of which was "Four Virtues Yuanhengli".
The Liao envoy was still unwilling to accept it, thinking that there was a loophole in this proposal, as the four virtues were missing the character "贞". However, Su Shi told him that this was to avoid the taboo of Emperor Renzong, whose name was Zhao Zhen.
---It couldn't be more embarrassing. It sounds like a TV drama, but it's all true. It just hasn't happened at this point in time.
