Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 664
Kingdom of Shu, Zhenbei Wangfu.

Meng Xuanyu was sitting in the stone pavilion, dressed in white, with a spirit of wind and grace, with his fingers flicking the piano, his movements were graceful, and the sound of the strings curled up, melodious and melodious.

His body as white as a feather, and the stone pavilion and lotus pond behind him, constitute a perfect picture scroll, as if people are moving in the picture, full of a refined temperament.

At this moment, Weiying walked quickly, holding a secret letter in his hand, and approached Shiting, hesitating whether to step forward and interrupt the master's pleasure of playing the piano.

Because according to His Highness's temperament and rules, when he was playing the piano, he hated being interrupted the most.Moreover, he often teaches his subordinates not to panic when things happen, to be calm and composed, and not to mess up their demeanor and positions.

Therefore, Wei Ying didn't dare to go forward to interrupt directly, but this secret letter may be related to the news and safety of Mr. Su Chen, and he also understands the importance of Su Chen to his master, so he is always sending people to monitor Mr. Su's movements.

Therefore, he wants to wait for a while, instead of interrupting the master to play the piano, but to immediately interrupt the master to hand in the important news, which made Weiying hesitate for a while.

This in itself is a contradictory proposition!
When Meng Xuanyu was playing the piano, he glanced at it from the corner of his eye, saw Wei Ying's contradictory state, and saw the color of the seal lacquer in his hand, he stopped the strings immediately, looked over with a pair of bright eyes, stared at Wei Ying and asked He said: "But the secret letter sent from Jinling of the Tang Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, is there any news about Su Chen?"

Hearing the master's question, Wei Ying immediately cupped his hands, and said respectfully, "Return to Your Highness, it is true that the Flying Eagle Biography sent from the Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River should be a secret letter about Mr. Su's news."

Meng Xuanyu suddenly lost the mood to play the piano, and said directly: "Bring it here."

"Yes." Weiying opened the seal on the spot, stepped forward and handed it over.

Meng Xuanyu took the letter anxiously, took out the small paper, and read it carefully.

These days, he has learned that Tang and Song are discussing peace talks, and it seems that Da Song is also very concerned about Su Chen's talent, and intends to ask Su Chen to go north to Bianjing as one of the conditions for peace talks.

He received this news half a month ago, and he was highly concerned about it. He was very worried that Su Chen would be sacrificed by the royal family of the Tang Dynasty, handed over to the Song Dynasty as a hostage, and used as a bargaining chip. From then on, he would become the enemy of the Shu Kingdom.

Therefore, he has been sending people to pay close attention to this matter. At this time, Meng Xuanyu got the letter, and after reading it, his face changed, and there was a burst of anger in his eyes.

"It's unreasonable! The royal family of the Tang Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River is too ruthless and weak. It has no dignity to cross the river and demolish the bridge. In order to negotiate a peace, it destroyed the Great Wall and gave talents like Su Chen to the enemy country as bargaining chips. Once there is another war, the Jiangnan Tang Kingdom will be destroyed at an accelerated pace." Meng Xuanyu snorted angrily.

Wei Ying had heard His Royal Highness analyze the vital points and gains and losses. Seeing that the master was filled with righteous indignation, it seemed that Jiangnan Tang had already made a decision, and he said, "If Jiangnan Tang really did this, it would be short-sighted and bloodless. Incompetent."

Meng Xuanyu nodded and said: "My army strength in Bashu is only one hundred thousand. Using the natural dangers, I have defeated the elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty several times. The country was not destroyed because of Su Chen's help, which mobilized the enthusiasm and bloodiness of some soldiers, and successfully defended. If the Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River can be like our Shu Kingdom, unite as one, unite against the enemy, and reuse suitable people to command the overall situation, it will never be destroyed by the Song Dynasty, because the Song Dynasty has mobilized the currently available troops, but the east and west are showing , have been stuck. The Northern Han Dynasty is uniting with Khitan again, just around the corner, and will soon threaten the border of Song State.

As long as the Tang State can hold on for another year, the Song army will inevitably retreat, and its vitality will be severely injured, and a period of peace will be won for several years.It's a pity that Li Yu, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty's royal family, was weak, incompetent, and spineless, so he made such a short-sighted choice. "

Wei Ying nodded beside her, and felt that what His Highness said made sense.It's just that they are thousands of miles apart, and they can't help them for the time being.

At this time, Meng Xuanyu saw an article and a poem in the letter.These are the "On the Six Kingdoms" and "The Story of the Pipa" written by Su Chen in the days before he left Jinling.

After reading it, Meng Xuanyu clapped his hands one after another, showing a look of amazement, and praised: "The writing is excellent, especially this sentence: Relying on the land to serve the Qin Dynasty is like putting out a fire with a salary. If the salary is not exhausted, the fire will not be extinguished. It is the relationship between the Six Kingdoms and Qin back then, and it also alludes to the current relationship between the vassal states and the Song Dynasty. We are in such a situation now. If we cannot work together to resist the Song Dynasty, we will be wiped out one by one by the Song Dynasty. No one can escape.

"Moreover, the more you fear and bribe, the stronger Song will become. At that time, no one can escape the fate of being destroyed. Therefore, we must reach a consensus that the princes of all parties should strengthen themselves and cannot submit to Song. Otherwise, no one will end well.”

"Your Highness is right!" Wei Ying praised from the side.

Meng Xuanyu said: "It's not that I'm right, but it's clearly written in Su Chen's article, so I immediately went to the staff of the mansion and asked them to copy the Theory of the Six Kingdoms by themselves, and then spread it in Shu. Zuo Sulang's latest article is also for the literati and scholar-bureaucrats of our Shu Kingdom to learn from."

"Good idea, lest they be ignorant, afraid of Song Dynasty, and advocate surrender!" Wei Ying echoed.

Meng Xuanyu stood up, showing a worried look, even a little anxious, and said: "Su Chen has already been handed over by the Tang Dynasty. According to the time when the secret letter was sent, Su Chen should leave Jinling to go north two days ago. With Su Chen's talent, Maybe others don't know, but you and I know it well. With him, one hundred thousand troops can be stopped. If the Shu Kingdom can get this person, and then use the natural dangers, it will be as solid as gold. He is like a crouching dragon in the Three Kingdoms. That is the revitalization of my Bashu. , Stopping the attack of the Great Song Dynasty, at least it can bring us Bashu with key talents for decades, so we must take people and rob people on the way."

Wei Ying was surprised and said: "Your Highness means to take people to the Song Dynasty, ambush the Song Dynasty envoys, and capture Su Chen?"

Meng Xuanyu said: "That's right, let's take some experts to intercept the envoys of the Song Dynasty, and then bring Mr. Su back to Bashu. This is a very important matter. Due to the relationship between Su Chen and the Tang Dynasty, we couldn't force him to Staying in the Kingdom of Shu, but now that the Kingdom of Tang has betrayed him, Su Chen must be very disappointed and has no heart of belonging to the Kingdom of Tang. Then, I can bring him to the Kingdom of Shu, which is a great benefit to Shu."

"It makes sense!" After hearing this, Weiying also felt that this method was very good, and it was worth the risk.

After Meng Xuanyu proposed this idea, even he himself was excited. Once Su Chen was brought to Bashu, he would see him every day. He could discuss state affairs with him, discuss military knowledge, and compose poems with Qin, both civil and military. Here, a smile overflowed from the corner of Meng Xuanyu's mouth, and his pupils were full of excitement and anticipation.

　Happy Mid-autumn Festival!
