Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 662 I would have turned my heart to the bright moon

This day finally came to the day when Su Chen went north with the Song Dynasty envoys.

After these days of negotiations, the peace talks between the Great Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty have come to an end. The Li and Tang courts in Jinling basically accepted several conditions proposed by the Great Song Dynasty, such as land cession, compensation, payment of tribute, and surrender of Su Chen, etc., which satisfied the Great Song Dynasty to stop attacking. conditions of.

Originally, the Song army's attack on the two fronts received serious resistance. When they confronted each other, there was no tendency to break through the defense line for a while. Some conservatives in the court raised the voice of armistice and retreat. It is still not full, and there are many wastes waiting to be built, so it needs to recuperate.

In the past few years, the Hou Zhou and the Song Kingdoms have fought continuously against the Tang, Northern Han, Shu, and Khitan states. The army was exhausted, and the treasury could not support them. They were worried that if something happened to these elites in the Tang state, or if they fell into a long-term battle, it would lead to the defense of the north. Emptiness, now the Northern Han Dynasty has contacted Khitan, ready to prepare a southward trip, so Zhao Kuangyin and others are also a little anxious.

This peace negotiation is also one of the strategies of the Great Song Dynasty. It intends to use war to support war. Since the Southern Tang cannot be swallowed up in one bite, it is planned to stabilize the cities and territories currently acquired, and then search a wave to supplement the resources needed by the army. The Song army projected to the south of the Yangtze River can gain a firm foothold.

Furthermore, they asked for a large amount of supplies from the Tang Dynasty, and there was a treasury that could supplement the Great Song Dynasty. If Su Chen was to be taken away, the resistance and morale of the Southern Tang Dynasty would be divided. No matter what, the Great Song Dynasty won and reached the goal of defeating others without fighting. To the point, although Tang was not eliminated, half of the strategic goal was achieved.

As long as there is another war and military incident, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is destroyed in one go, it will be a matter of course.

Su Chen brought three women, two guards, and some gold, silver and jewelry, and went out of the city in a carriage to meet the Song Dynasty envoys.

Many people in Jinling City heard the news and came out one after another to see them off.

Jiangzuo Sulang, who left many poems, articles, and deeds in Jinling, is about to be picked up by the envoys of the Song State to the Song State today. He feels extremely aggrieved and helpless, especially some scholars, who are filled with righteous indignation. Be an example.

"It's too inappropriate. The court's actions really chill the hearts of scholars!"

"That's right, the Tang Dynasty has no future, and the country's subjugation is just around the corner!"

"Jiangzuo Sulang is so talented, the hope of revitalizing the Tang Dynasty is given to the enemy country like this, I am really aggrieved!"

"They are all members of the Song Party, traitorous to the country and seeking glory. Wei Cen, Feng Yanlu and others of the Five Ghosts of the court are not good things. They are afraid of the Song Dynasty and bring trouble to the court, so they advocate signing such a humiliating treaty!"

Some scholars and common people were incited by some people to hate the court's practices and Song party figures.

Of course, some people don't care about these things, they just think that the Song army is no longer attacking the Tang country, Jinling City is saved, there will be no danger, this is what they care about, even if sending away one Su Chen, they think it is worth it.

Therefore, more Jinling people still expressed their gratitude to Su Chen, thinking that this kind of dedication was very competitive, and it was very cost-effective to exchange one person for the safety of hundreds of thousands of Jinling people, as well as the lives of many soldiers.

This is human nature, it's nothing to do with yourself, and when there is an avalanche, no blood is innocent.

Only Xu Xuan, Gao Yue and others went out of the city to see them off in person, because they had said what they had to say in person two days ago, and now they came here to express their reluctance and respect for Su Chen.

"Su Chen, I'm leaving soon, do you want to write a poem for so many relatives and friends who saw you off today?" Cheng Dexuan asked with a smile while stroking his beard.

He is in a good mood, and he is about to complete the double task assigned by Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi. After returning, he will definitely have a lot of credit and rewards.

In addition, he wanted to see with his own eyes whether Su Chen's ability to write poems on the spot was worthy of his reputation, and he also wanted to test whether this person was a counterfeit!

If this person writes an extremely amazing poem, which will make the people of the Tang Dynasty sour, Cheng Dexuan feels that he can also become a witness, initiator, and participant in a poem that has been passed down through the ages. Words, will think of this background and allusions.

Su Chen thought for a while, and there happened to be a poem that suits his state of mind, so it's good to write it out, it can be regarded as a confession between himself and Tang Guo, and it will draw a conclusion.

"Do you have pen, ink, paper and inkstone?"

"Of course!" Cheng Dexuan nodded, and immediately ordered his followers to prepare pens, ink and paper. ,

When everyone heard that Su Chen was going to write a poem on the spot, everyone paid attention, wondering what kind of poem Su Chen would write on such an occasion?

Will it be a farewell poem, or a poem of sorrow and indignation?Or sarcasm?

Even Cheng Dexuan and Liang Jiong were looking forward to it, and wanted to see what kind of performance this well-known Jiangzuo Sulang would have on this occasion.

Su Chen walked over, picked up a brush from the hand of an envoy's entourage, and after dipping it in ink, an entourage spread out the paper and put it on a wooden tray, waiting for him to write.

Su Chen remembered the opera words in "The Story of the Pipa" written by Gao Ming at the end of Yuan Dynasty, so he wrote a poem, flamboyantly writing:
"In the morning, he was Tian Shelang, and in the evening, he went to the Tianzitang.

"There is no such thing as a general, a man should be self-reliant.

"It's not that it's bitterly cold, how come the plum blossoms are so fragrant.

"No one asked under the window for ten years, and became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

"I originally set my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch.

"Falling flowers intentionally follow the flowing water, while flowing water has no intention of falling in love with falling flowers."

The fusion of this compound poem is not an independent poem in the strict sense, but a few verses used in the opera "Pipa Ji", written by Gao Ming. This opera is about the joys and sorrows of Cai Bojie and Zhao Wuniang, a scholar of the Han Dynasty. , a total of 42, known as the legendary ancestor of the works.

Su Chen put these lines of poems together, especially able to express his state of mind at this time. Any two lines put together can form a poem.

Cheng Dexuan, Liang Jiong and other civil servants of the diplomatic corps were stunned after reading it, shocked and moved by such lines.

"What a poem!"

"This is really a true portrayal of Mr. Su!"

After the two sighed, Xu Xuan and others stepped forward to watch it. After reading it, they were all shocked and even asked for it.

Cheng Dexuan shook his head and said with a smile: "You can copy it. I will take this original work back and present it to the Song official. He also likes Su Chen's poems very much."

Xu Xuan and the others had no choice but to read it all and recite it, then go back and transcribe the paper and upload it.

Not far away, Xu Qingwan, Zhou Jiamin, and Princess Yongning in disguise also came. The three women stood in the crowd with tears in their eyes, watching Su Chen's figure standing under the guardianship of Song soldiers, waving at familiar people .

"Everyone, there will be an appointment later!"

After Su Chen waved goodbye to everyone, he got into the carriage.

"set off!"

Cheng Dexuan gave the order, and the envoy convoy composed of three hundred guards began to set off, heading north all the way to Jinlingdu in Runzhou.

Su Chen put down the curtain of the car, didn't look back, and left Jinling calmly, with a firm heart, and never had anything to do with Nan Tang again!
