Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 674 Unacceptable
In a winding mountain road in Bashan.

Meng Xuanyu led a team of people and walked in the forest. The team was divided into several waves and rushed back and forth. Most of them pretended to be traders, but they were actually master guards.

This time, Meng Xuanyu planned to personally lead someone to intercept the envoys of the Song Dynasty, preventing Su Chen from reaching Bianjing, but taking him away.

Meng Xuanyu felt that this time Tang Guo sent Su Chen as a bargaining chip for peace, the latter would definitely be disappointed with Jiangnan Tang Guo and lose his sense of belonging.

In this way, Xishu will have the opportunity to bring Su Chen back, so that they can meet every day in the future, and discuss piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, songs, strategies for governing the country, etc. How pleasant it is to have a confidant in life. carry on!
Therefore, Meng Xuanyu was in a very good mood, and felt that as long as the interception was successful, then there would be a very good ending.

While the convoy was resting, people from the intelligence team came to Flying Eagle to deliver the letter, and a scout quickly took out the secret note in the bamboo tube tied to Chuanying's leg, and handed it to the chief guard Weiying.

After Weiying got the secret letter, she came to Meng Xuanyu's side and handed it to the master.

"Your Highness, there is information about Jiangnan to send back."

Meng Xuanyu nodded, took the secret letter, and after opening it, there were only two sentences on it, Su Chen had been killed in Yangzhou, and died a violent death; the mastermind behind the scenes was Wei Cen, Minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Seeing this news, Meng Xuanyu froze in place as if struck by lightning, the note was tightly held by him, the tears in his eyes kept swirling, almost bursting out.

Just now he was still full of longing, but now he seems to have fallen from heaven to hell, and his whole mentality cannot be reversed for a while.

"Su Chen was actually killed! He's dead! How is this possible?"

That was Su Chen, how could he die so easily?

Meng Xuanyu really couldn't figure it out, and was even unwilling to accept this fact at all.

His entire face was pale, filled with grief and indignation, when he lost Su Chen, he felt as if the world had lost its color.

The other party is his confidant, after getting along with him a few times, from fighting side by side to saving Xishu, his contribution is indispensable, so Meng Xuanyu has a kind of sympathy for Su Chen, appreciates his talent, and there are many similar feelings in it.

He couldn't believe that all this was true, he couldn't accept the news that Su Chen was killed, how could this happen?
Seeing that the master's expression was not right, Wei Ying stepped forward and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"

Meng Xuanyu's eyes were empty, and he handed the note in his hand to Wei Ying, the chief guard, who took a look and was dumbfounded.

Jiang Zuo Shulang was murdered and died in Yangzhou City, which is indeed unexpected.

They were originally going to rescue Su Chen this time. They wanted to intercept the Dasong envoys on the way. They mobilized hundreds of master guards, dressed up as caravans in batches, and entered the territory of Dasong. As long as there is another half a month, Perhaps the envoy team led by Cheng Dexuan can be intercepted, and then Su Chen can be intercepted.

However, now that this amazing news has appeared, it is really unexpected.

"Your Highness, please mourn!"

Wei Ying comforted him, of course he knew how important Su Chen was to His Royal Highness.

Meng Xuanyu looked indifferent, with tears in his eyes, and a murderous look all over his body.

At this time, Meng Xuanyu seemed to be deeply angered.

"Su Chen's death must not just be forgotten like this. Let's intercept the Song Dynasty envoys first, and find out whether this is the smoke thrown by the Song people. Find out the truth. If Su Chen was really killed by Wei Cen and others, I'll let Wei Cen's whole family be buried with him!"

Meng Xuanyu uttered harsh words, Wei Ying didn't dare to disobey, so she had to obey.

Great Song Palace.

In the imperial study, Zhao Kuangyin also received a memorial written by Cheng Dexuan, explaining the murder of Su Chen in Yangzhou.

"It's such a pity that Su Chen died." Zhao Kuangyin sighed.

In the imperial study room, there were still several advisers, including Zhao Pu, Shen Yilun, Xue Juzheng, Lu Duoxun, etc., who were discussing the revision of the new laws of the Song Dynasty, and Wang Jien sent this memorial.

Zhao Pu and the others raised their heads and looked at the officials, unable to figure out what happened.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at several counselors, feeling a little regretful about his talents, and said, "Cheng Dexuan sent someone back to send an urgent memorial. Their envoys completed the peace negotiation, left Jiangnan, and arrived in Yangzhou, but on the second night, they encountered In the assassination of a group of men in black, Su Chen and several family members were killed and burned to death in the room, leaving only a few charred corpses, what a pity."

"There is such a thing?" Zhao Pu and others were surprised.

"We can find out who sent the man in black, and why did he assassinate Su Chen?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "According to the description in the memorial, they found that Harsh was sent by Wei Cen, an official of the Tang Dynasty, and Wei Cen's family general was inside the assassin's body. It should not be bad."

"It turned out to be someone from the Tang Dynasty." Xue Juzheng was a little surprised.

"Probably because I don't feel comfortable giving Su Chen and other talents to Da Song. Hey, this Jiang Zuo Su Lang, I have been looking forward to it for a long time. Unexpectedly, I didn't meet him in the end. Instead, I hurt him."

Zhao Pu said: "The officials don't need to be sorry, they are lucky if they get it, and they don't regret it if they lose it. If someone really proves that the perpetrator behind the scenes is Wei Cen, then the crime of negotiating peace can be thrown to the Tang Dynasty. Take the opportunity to continue attacking Tang, and the effect will be better than before."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't fully return to God for a while, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Zhao Pu explained with a smile: "Think about it, officials. When we attacked Tang, we encountered resistance from two fronts. Tang was united and huddled together, and achieved the same hatred. But after this peace negotiation, Tang broke his arms to survive. Leaving Su Chen made many soldiers, scholars, and common people feel cold and indifferent. At this time, the Tang State is no longer united in one mind. The general's attack, as long as Lin Renzhao is pulled out on the western front, then General Cao Bin can suppress it and directly destroy Tang."

"What Prime Minister Zhao said is reasonable, and it is beneficial but harmless to our Song Dynasty!" Xue Juzheng agreed with Zhao Pu's proposal.

Lu Duoxun smiled and said: "In this way, it is tantamount to dividing the Tang Dynasty's court, and it has an unexpected strategic effect."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded slightly after listening to Sanfen's opinion, and he understood the key point.

Zhao Kuangyin felt a little pity for losing the chance to meet Jiang Zuo Su Lang, but this kind of pity is just a feeling, compared with the big affairs of the country, of course the state affairs are the most important.

If it is really what Zhao Pu predicted, the chances of destroying Tang this time will be greatly increased and the difficulty will be reduced.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Okay, let's formulate a strategy according to the new phalanx, and plan to ask Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty why he went back on his promise and assassinated Su Chen, a talent in the Song Dynasty. This is tantamount to tearing up the contract! I immediately ordered the two groups of soldiers and horses to continue. Attack, the peace talks are invalidated, and the teacher is famous!"
