Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 650
Peng Zeliang heard that the emperor had given him a golden mouth to marry him. At this time, it would be useless for him to oppose the decree. First, because Su Chen had made too much contribution to the Tang Dynasty, which involved the smooth progress of diplomatic relations between the two countries, the imperial court would not care about him. of a daughter.

The second is that her daughter has a marriage contract with Su Chen, and the two have already held a private wedding in Runzhou, and entered the bridal chamber for three months. Even if Peng Zeliang regrets the marriage, her daughter will be married again from now on, not a lady, a girl with a yellow flower It's hard to find her husband's family, not to mention whether Peng Jingjing's outburst will agree!
Therefore, Peng Zeliang has no choice but to marry Su Chen by default.

He stood in the train with an ugly face, but he was not dissatisfied with Su Chen, but he was reluctant to part with his daughter. He used to think that even if his daughter was married, she would still live in Jinling City if she married Su Chen. Go home to accompany his old father.

But now, her daughter is going to marry her husband and go directly to Bianjing in the north to live in a hostile country, just like Wang Zhaojun going out of the fortress, which makes Peng Zeliang very aggrieved and reluctant.

The officials in the court listened to Li Yu's rewards, whether it was giving orders to his wife or rewarding money and pearls, it was a kind of compensation.At this time, the officials of the three parties and those who were neutral and did not join the party did not object, because the most important thing was to facilitate talks with Song Guo.

Although the court hall is dangerous, treacherous and full of murderous intentions, but the court hall is not like fighting and killing on the battlefield, it is more humane!

In the court, Li Yu announced on the spot that he agreed to negotiate a peace with Song Dynasty. The matter was handed over to Wei Cen, Feng Yanlu, Pan You and others to participate in the negotiations, striving to reduce the amount of cede land and cities and indemnities, and sign an armistice agreement as soon as possible.

After the court was over, Su Chen wanted to go forward to continue to show his favor to Peng Zeliang and explain, but Peng Zeliang walked away and ignored him, obviously the resentment had not been resolved yet.

Xu Xuan and Gao Yue came over at this time, and said to Su Chen: "Marquis An, let's go to the Han Mansion together to check on Mr. Han's condition. Just before you leave, you should also go to see him."

Su Chen nodded and said, "Okay, let's go to the Han Mansion together."

Some Sun Party officials, upon hearing that Su Chen, Xu Xuan and others were going to visit Han Xizai, expressed their willingness to go with them.

So more than a dozen court officials, including Xu Xuan, Yan Xu, Zhong Mo, Gao Yue, Gao Yuan, Xu Kai, Chen Tao, Zhang Yi, went to the Han Mansion in cars and sedan chairs.

After a cup of tea, all the ministers have arrived at the Han Mansion.

The arrival of so many officials surprised the members of the Han family. Mrs. Han greeted them in person. He is the second son of Han Xizai. He couldn't reach the level of a powerful prime minister like his father.

"My lords, my father is in the study, writing to relieve his depression, this way please!"

Mrs. Han did not dare to neglect, and personally led the way, leading a group of court officials to Han Xizai's study.

"Father, Lord Xu, Lord Yan, Lord Gao, Lord Zhong, etc. have come to visit you."

While talking, Mrs. Han led the ministers into the study.

Hearing his son's voice, Han Xizai put down his pen and looked up at the door of the house. Xu Xuan, Zhong Mo and others had already walked into the study.

When he saw Su Chen's figure in the crowd, his eyes lit up first, then dimmed a bit, showing helplessness and guilt.

"My lords, why did you come here at the same time?"

Xu Xuan said: "Su Chen went to the morning court today, and was canonized as the Marquis of Anguo by the official family, and he was rewarded, and the peace talks are a foregone conclusion. The court meeting is over, and Su Chen is going to visit you, so we will accompany you and visit us at the door. .”

Han Xizai's expression was gloomy, his eyes fell on Su Chen, and he asked, "Yixuan, when did you come back?"

"I came back yesterday afternoon. I originally wanted to visit Uncle Han when I returned to Jinling City. However, the eunuch urged me to go directly to the palace to face the saint. When I came out of the palace, it was already dark, so I went back to the mansion. I thought about it after today's court meeting. , just come and visit." Su Chen explained.

Han Xizai nodded slightly, and said, "My good boy, I have heard about what you have done in Runzhou these days. You have given Tang people a sigh of relief and blown out the blood of Tang people. The two sides have fallen into a strategic stalemate. Because of this, Da Song will consider negotiating a peace. It's a pity that Tang Guo is like an old tree that is withering, rotten on the roots, and it is hopeless. Therefore, I can only sacrifice you. It is the old man who failed to protect you. !"

Everyone could hear Han Xizai's recognition and admiration for Su Chen, and at the same time, his disappointment with Tang Guo.

Su Chen replied: "It's okay, good luck is a disaster, disaster is a blessing, who knows, I went to the north, maybe it's a different kind of development, Uncle Han don't have to blame himself, it's because I missed Jiangnan. "

After listening to Han Xizai, he let out a long sigh, and his mood was low. Everyone could see that he was really disappointed in Tang Guo.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Mrs. Han ordered the servants to bring two large tables and put a lot of tea sets, and said, "My lords, please sit down, make tea and talk. I haven't gathered like this for many days."

"Okay, sit down and talk." Someone echoed.

Han Xizai nodded, and sat around the table with Su Chen, Xu Xuan, Yan Xu and others, making tea.

"Master Han, how long do you plan to rest?" Yan Xu asked with concern.

The rest of the officials also looked at Han Xizai, wanting to hear his thoughts.

Han Xizai shook his head and said, "I have already passed my sixtieth year. This time I became an official. It was the last breath of stubbornness and I planned to make a difference, but it ended without a problem, especially when this peace negotiation happened. I can see it clearly. The royal family and the court plan to retire from office, ignore government affairs from now on, relax, and spend some days and nights playing and singing in style."

Su Chen was stunned. Unexpectedly, Han Xizai lost his fighting spirit, and from now on he was addicted to wine and sex, and lived a life of drunkenness and dreams, all because of his relationship with Su Chen!

When Xu Xuan and other ministers heard the words, they all showed regretful expressions. The Sun Party lacked Han Xizai, so it lacked a spirit and a backbone.

"Master Han, do you want to think about it again, you can't lose your fighting spirit just because of this!"

Han Xizai still shook his head: "There is no hope for the Tang Dynasty. I don't want to do my best to die. Until the moment I die from exhaustion, I'm just fussing around with no use. I spend all day fighting with the five ghosts of the Song Party and losing my life." The meaning of life is that I have worked hard for the official career for decades, and now I wake up and plan to change my way of life, so you don’t need to persuade me.”

Zhong Mo felt the same way and sighed: "Hey, yes, the living space on both sides of the Tang Kingdom has been compressed. The Song Army has already reached the south of the Yangtze River. When troops come here in the future, they can attack the Tang Kingdom at any time."

"This time the Tang and Song Dynasties have negotiated peace, but can they be peaceful for a few years? Song's idea of ​​unifying the world will not change because of this."

Zhang Yi listened to the more and more pessimistic the ministers said, so he changed the subject and asked, "Master Han, when we came in just now, you were writing. Are you making a fuss?"

Han Xizai said with a faint smile: "There is a lot of depression in my chest today, and I want to use this anger to write a good article to express it, but unfortunately, I can't write an article that satisfies me a few times. upset."

Xu Kai raised his head to look at Su Chen, and couldn't help but said: "Yixuan is about to go north, how about writing an article, even if it is not as good as famous articles such as "Yueyang Tower", "Liu Hou Lun" and "Ode to the Former Red Cliff", it is better to write an article. Definitely top notch!"

"Yes, let Jiangzuo Sulang write an article. I haven't seen his new article for a long time."

"That's right, I usually can't put it down for Su Chen's articles and poems."

These ministers were very interested in Xu Kai's proposal, and they were all full of enthusiasm and anticipation.

Han Xizai also found it interesting. Since Su Chen is about to go north, it will be difficult to see him in the future. It is a great pity that he could not see him writing poems and articles for the first time. Taking advantage of parting, let him write and write a new one. The article comes out.

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Su Chen agreed, since he was going to leave anyway, it was difficult to get together again at this moment, so why not write an article and keep it as a souvenir.

He nodded and said: "Then it's better to be respectful than to follow orders. Just on the way back, I already had some drafts in my stomach. I borrowed Uncle Han's pen and paper to write a prose for the occasion."

"Okay, let's wait and see!"

"Witness with your own eyes!"

All the ministers showed excitement on their faces, and they all held strong expectations, eager to see through.
