Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 665 Talents enter Yangzhou

The river was surging and flowing eastward, Su Chen and others crossed the Yangtze River by boat and arrived at the realm of Yangzhou.

Yangzhou was called "Guangling" and "Jiangdu" in the Qin and Han Dynasties. It was established as "South Yanzhou" in the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties, and Guangling was changed to Wuzhou in the Northern Zhou Dynasty.During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there were thirteen assassination departments throughout the country, including the Yangzhou assassination department.In the eighth year of Tang Wude (625), Guangling began to be called "Yangzhou".

At the end of Tang Dynasty, Jianghuai was in chaos.In the second year of Tang Zhaozong's Tianfu (902), Huainan Jiedu envoy Yang Xingmi was granted the title of King Wu in Yangzhou.In the 16th year of Tianyou (919), Yang Wei, the second son of Yang Xingmi, formally established the State of Wu, took Jiangdu as the capital, changed Yangzhou to Jiangdu Mansion, and changed Yuan Wuyi.

The Southern Tang Dynasty destroyed Wu, took Jinling as its national capital, and Yangzhou as its eastern capital.In the 15th year of Baoda in the Southern Tang Dynasty (957), Jiangdu Prefecture was changed to Yangzhou in the Later Zhou Dynasty.

The name of the place went around and around, and finally changed to Yangzhou. This is a place where literati linger and forget to return. There are also many poems about Yangzhou. Live the "Yangzhou dream once in ten years, and win the reputation of the brothel." etc.

Su Chen took his family members, sat in the carriage, followed the team of the Song Dynasty envoys, and entered the city of Yangzhou.

Cheng Dexuan acted cautiously, did not publicize it to the outside world, and kept a low profile when he entered the city.

He thought that even if he went north and crossed the Yangtze River this time, even if he entered the territory of the Song Dynasty, he would not be careless, because Su Chen was very important, and he was worried that other princes would send people to assassinate Su Chen after hearing the news. After all, such a talented person Well, maybe some people don't want Su Chen to go north smoothly and reach Bianjing City alive.

Another reason is that the Northern Han Dynasty, Northwest Dangqiang, Fuzhou Fanzhen, Southern Han and other countries did not want the Song Dynasty to negotiate peace with the Tang Dynasty to stop the war, and hoped that both sides would suffer, so that the Song Dynasty could be dragged into the quagmire of war and continuously consume troops and vitality , so that other vassal states can be safe.

Therefore, Cheng Dexuan felt that he had to send someone to protect Su Chen, so that no accidents would happen to him, otherwise he would not be able to complete this peace negotiation task perfectly.

If Su Chen is not interested in standing on the side of Kaifeng Governor Zhao Guangyi, or resists, then Cheng Dexuan will find a way to get rid of him, but now, it is obvious that Su Chen can give it a try, Cheng Dexuan will not be able to do so, and protect him to Bian The capital is where the mission lies.

"Is this Yangzhou City? I came here with my father when I was a child, but unfortunately the land behind Jiangbei was occupied by Hou Zhou, and I never came again." Looking at the streets of Yangzhou, Peng Qingqing couldn't help but said.

"This is my first time here." Su Chen smiled lightly, he had never been to the north of the Yangtze River, the ancient city of Yangzhou, it was indeed very different from what it was a year ago, completely different.

"Where's Sister Susu?" Peng Jingjing asked.

"I have never been to the north." Bai Susu replied with a smile.

Su Chen said: "Let's try to stay in Yangzhou for a few more days, so that we can buy time to do something."

Peng Jingjing asked, "What do we need to do?"

Su Chen replied: "Jing Hong has already brought people to Yangzhou in advance. We should be discovered by them when we enter the city. We just wait for the meeting. When we arrive at the post house, tomorrow morning, you can go to the street to buy some Yangzhou rouge and gouache. A Chen Ji rouge shop, sign up with them and exchange news."

"Okay!" Peng Jingjing nodded, she has martial arts, but she doesn't care about these things.

There was a trace of worry on Liu Mo Nong's face. This matter is of great importance. Whether it can be implemented smoothly will affect the freedom and safety of several people.

The convoy of the Song Dynasty envoys came to a house that had been arranged to enter and exit five times, for Cheng Dexuan and others to use. Three hundred guards stood guard inside and outside, patrolling, and the protection was tight.

Su Chen, Bai Susu and the others were arranged in a separate courtyard, and many guards "guarded" them.

There are three rooms in the courtyard, one for Su Chen and Bai Susu, one for Peng Qingqing and Liu Mo Nong, and one for the book boy Jing Yun and the guard Bailang.

Cheng Dexuan sent someone to prepare a banquet, and invited Su Chen to have a drink together as a gesture of friendship, to win over each other's relationship.

If you go to Bianjing City, with Su Chen's talent, as long as you have an exquisite mind and know how to stand in line, you are very likely to be valued by the emperor Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi. If you have a good relationship with Su Chen, you might be able to get credit.

Su Chen went to socialize, took advantage of the three rounds of drinking, took advantage of the half-drunk state of the two of them, and had a low awareness of precautions, so he proposed to stay for two more days.

"To be honest, Yangzhou is beautiful and famous all over the world. Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty visited Yangzhou three times. Because of its beautiful scenery, many literati and inkmen have visited here throughout the ages. Since the Zhou Dynasty pacified Jiangbei, people from Jiangnan have no chance to come here again. Coming here, since passing by, Su Chen would like to visit Yangzhou, stay for two more days, maybe write a few poems and essays, I don't know if the envoy will agree?"

When Cheng Dexuan and Liang Jiong heard that he would stay for two more days, they paused and hesitated a little, but when they heard that there was a new poem to be written, they immediately became interested.

"It's all trivial matters, how about I accompany Mr. Su, so that I can hear Mr. Su's new poem in the first place!"

Liang Jiong decided to follow him personally, not only for the purpose of monitoring, but also for witnessing Su Caizi's poems and essays on the spot.

"Of course!" Su Chen replied with a smile.

Cheng Dexuan nodded, drinking to his heart's content, it was hard to refuse to spoil his spirits, so he readily agreed.

"Tomorrow, why don't Master Liang and I accompany you on a trip together."

"Then I will thank you two adults." Su Chen continued: "It just so happens that the family members are also in Yangzhou for the first time. They will go shopping tomorrow morning and plan to buy some rouge and gouache. Please send someone to add more Protect."

"That's for sure!" Cheng Dexuan agreed.

"Come on, keep drinking!"

The three drank again, and it was not over until late at night.

Su Chen returned to the room, it was Bai Susu's turn to have sex with him tonight, but Peng Jingjing and Liu Mo Nong were chatting with Susu in the room.

Liu Mo Nong said with some distress: "Sir, you drank a lot."

Su Chen nodded: "For entertainment, I haven't drunk enough wine, and I can't talk about many things. Try to stay in Yangzhou for two more days to make things easier."

Peng Jingjing asked with concern: "Oh, the envoys agree?"

Su Chen said: "Well, I agreed. Tomorrow they will focus on me and follow me every step of the way. Therefore, when you go out, it is an opportunity. Although they are also being watched, but There will always be a chance. Qingqing, you must have figured out the location and defenses in the courtyard."

Peng Jingjing replied: "Well, I have figured it out and made a sketch, which can be handed over tomorrow."

Su Chen nodded and said, "Okay, then we'll exchange information tomorrow and prepare for the golden cicada's escape."

"I hope everything goes well!" Bai Susu was worried.

"Yes!" Su Chen was determined in his heart. At this time, he must be steady and calm in order to give the three girls confidence.
