Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 666 Ready
The next day, Su Chen, Cheng Dexuan, and Liang Jiong went on a trip, accompanied by more than 100 guards, and visited some places of interest in Yangzhou City.

Cheng Dexuan avoided the crowded streets, chose the beautiful Baobao Lake, rented a boat, and a few people boarded the boat and wandered around the lake.

There are lotus flowers everywhere, the breeze is blowing, the lake is full, and some small islands are in the lake. There are pavilions, towers and pavilions on the islands, clouds, trees and reeds, white walls and black tiles, and there are beautiful scenery everywhere.

The gardens in the south of the Yangtze River have unique caves in every square inch of land. You can see exquisiteness everywhere. Every plant, tree, pavilion, pavilion, stone and water are all carefully carved, which makes people feel happy. This is the beauty of Yangzhou.

Su Chen looked at the lake, and his heart was calm. He once traveled to Yangzhou in his later generations. This lake is also called Slender West Lake. After the beautiful scenery, compared with the West Lake in my hometown, I wrote a poem: "It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake".

Since then, Baobao Lake in Yangzhou has been called Slender West Lake. The name is very vivid. Slender West Lake is indeed much thinner than Hangzhou West Lake.

Slender West Lake is a belt-shaped landscape formed by the city moats of Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, and has always maintained an interactive relationship with the Grand Canal.

Cheng and Liang are the principal and deputy envoys of the diplomatic mission, and they personally accompany Su Chen on the trip. Firstly, they have the responsibility of supervising, and secondly, they travel with such great talents and get closer. Writing lyrics is a great blessing. When I returned to Bianjing City and talked with some relatives and friends, I also felt that the topic was full.

Especially when I go to the brothel, I can boast a few words. Su Chen and I swam in Yangzhou together. The famous poems and articles were written when they were together. Everyone became curious.

Cheng Dexuan smiled and said, "Mr. Su, how is this lake?"

Su Chen nodded and said: "Yes, it's very beautiful, not inferior to Xuanwu Lake outside Jinling City!"

Liang Jiong was very interested and asked: "My son, seeing this beautiful scenery, is there any inspiration to write a masterpiece of poetry and prose as a souvenir?"

Seeing that the two of them had some expectations, Su Chen didn't want to disobey them. After all, the other party agrees to accompany them on a trip, which is quite a face. Therefore, Su Chen nodded politely and said, "I just happened to browse this scene, and I feel something in my heart, so I can write poems a!"

"Oh, what poem?"

"All ears!"

The two envoys are very interested.

Su Chen looked at the emerald green lake and the Shugang Mountains in the distance, and wrote a poem: "Changing poplars are constantly picking up the remnants, and the Yantooth Hongqiao is like a picture. It is also a pot of gold, so it should be called Slender West Lake. The scenery of this lake is beautiful. , is no less than the West Lake in Hangzhou, so I think it can be called the Slender West Lake as a souvenir.”

"Good poetry, and the word Slender West Lake is quite appropriate, so it echoes from north to south, wonderful!"

"Since Mr. Su has written articles to praise the name, Baohu Lake in Yangzhou will probably be renamed Slender West Lake from now on." Cheng Dexuan said with a smile, because he believes in Su Chen's influence, as long as this poem spreads, Definitely will be renamed accordingly.

Su Chen said a few words modestly, and after satisfying the curiosity of the two of them, he changed the subject again.

"The ancient temple on the mountain ahead, but the Daming Temple?"

Cheng Dexuan nodded and said: "Exactly. I heard that incense is very effective. It is quite famous in Yangzhou, and the scenery is also very beautiful!"

"Okay, after our lake tour is over, we can visit Daming Temple."

"can!"

Daming Temple is located on the middle peak of Shugang, surrounded by mountains and rivers, overlooking the beautiful and graceful Slender West Lake.Daming Temple is a collection of Buddhist temples, cultural relics and historic sites, and garden scenery. It has always enjoyed the reputation of "the first view in Huaidong".

In the afternoon, Su Chen, Cheng Dexuan, and Liang Jiong went to Daming Temple for a visit.

At night, Su Chen finished his day trip to Yangzhou and returned to the small courtyard where he temporarily lived.

Bai Susu, Peng Jingjing, and Liu Mo Nong also went shopping in the morning, went to the designated rouge shop, bought rouge powder, and secretly completed Su Chen's confession.

At this time, the four gathered in the room and exchanged information.

Su Chen asked: "Did you travel smoothly today?"

Bai Susu nodded and said: "Everything is going well. This time there are more than a dozen guards from the Song Dynasty following. When we bought gouache at the Rouge shop, we gave the information about the defense guards here and the sentry post in the yard to the shop owner. He also gave us a note.

"We came back to look at it. What he meant was that the manpower is ready to monitor the mansion at all times and prepare for rescue operations. The ships to go to sea are also ready. As long as we leave here, we can change to board the ship and go to the overseas islands first. Take shelter. The route of retreat and the carriage out of the city are ready."

Su Chen nodded and said: "Very good, we will act tomorrow night and follow the plan, because there will be an attack and the building will be set on fire tomorrow night. Therefore, the next day, the officers and soldiers will definitely track down the murderer and strictly prevent the city. We must pass through overnight Out of the city by water."

Peng Jingjing asked: "Master, do you think the people of Song Dynasty can believe that we were all killed in this operation, and the bones are not preserved?"

Su Chen replied: "Maybe I can't believe it all, I can only half believe it. In fact, there will be people who want to harm me this time. They should come from the Northern Han Dynasty, the Dangqiang people in the west, and the Khitan people in the grassland. I hope that the Tang and Song Dynasties can go smoothly, and I don’t want Jiangzuo Sulang to go north to Bianjing to become a minister and reuse them. Therefore, they will also send people to commit suicide on the way, but if we don’t see the bodies, we will all be buried in the fire, and our appearance will be completely destroyed. It will make people have some doubts.

"For camouflage right now, we can only drop all the things we carry in the room. The number of corpses can be matched. In this way, the corpses will be burned and there will be no proof of death. Even if the people of Song Dynasty have doubts, they can't find us. They will only accept this reality, and even take the opportunity to turn around and use troops against Tang, it is possible."

Bai Susu was a little worried: "Aren't Jinling City and Runzhou City dangerous?"

Su Chen nodded and said: "That's right, so before we leave, we told the elders of the Bai family and some close friends to go south for a period of time as much as possible, and leave Jinling and Runzhou temporarily. These two cities are to be attacked by the Song army and Wu Yue soldiers. The main target, because the wealth in the city is too great.

"As for some cities in the southern part of the Tang Dynasty, the main force of the Song army will not attack them one by one. Instead, the civil servants and generals who stay behind will be recruited, and the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty who have surrendered to the Song Dynasty will be used to deal with those who do not surrender. , and the real elite soldiers of Song Dynasty will retreat, so if you want to save your life, going to Hongzhou and Jianzhou for a while is a good choice for rich families to save their lives."

Bai Susu nodded and said: "I reminded my parents about this. Although they didn't say it clearly, they promised me that they would leave Runzhou temporarily to avoid the limelight, and return after the Song Army and Wu Yue's army completely retreat. It's just a pity for Runzhou The people and the people of Jinling.

Su Chen said with emotion: "There is no way, the royal family of the Tang Kingdom is doomed to destroy the Great Wall by doing this, and it will perish. It is still a violation of heaven's evil, and it is self-inflicted, and it cannot live. This is the sin of the Tang Kingdom's royal family. Eat the fruit."
