Chapter 293 Bachelor, Slap in the Face

Yang Xuan boasted that he could compete in wisdom with the most cunning beasts in the mountains, and that he could thrive in the complicated environment of northern Xinjiang, but in a small town in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, he was played by a servant of the Ministry of Rites.

The old thief looked at the kings on horseback, pondering all kinds of thoughts in his mind on how to kill this person, "Your Majesty, wait until night to do it."

"What good is he dead to us?"

"Too."

The old thief was a little depressed, "Yuan Xiao took the blame for him."

"When did he start planning this matter?" Qin Jian asked.

Cheng Ran chuckled, "A lot of young and strong people were killed and injured in this battle city, and the kings ordered Yuan Xiao to distribute the pension, but afterwards there was an uproar in the city, saying that there were fewer..."

"Yuan Xiao is corrupt?" someone asked.

Cheng Ran shook his head, "He is full of stains in this battle, how could he dare to be corrupt? This must be given by Wang Zhong."

"He has been plotting to make Yuan Xiao blame him since then." Qin Jian understood, and took another look at Cheng Ran, thinking that Jiang is still old and hot.

"But he was quite unbearable in this battle. I also thought about how to get rid of the responsibility for him. After much deliberation, the best way is to take the initiative to ask for guilt. But I never expected that this person would chop off one of his own. toes."

Your Majesty, it's not that I'm weak... I fought bloody battles, but one of my toes was cut off, making it difficult for me to move!
Gee!

"A ruthless man!"

Qin Jian had a doubt, "Why didn't he have such vigor when fighting?"

Everyone was silent and could not answer.

Yang Xuan said indifferently: "That kind of force is directed at the inside, but it is as soft as cotton on the outside."

Everyone couldn't help being happy when they thought of the preferential treatment along the way.

On the second day, there was still a day away from Bianjing.

After lunch, everyone either took a nap or took a walk.

Wang Laoer and Tu Chang were basking in the sun under the eaves, while the old thief and Yang Xuan were taking a walk.

"Lang Jun, that ruthless man is here." The old thief looked back.

Wang Zhong came limping and said with a smile: "The spring is beautiful!"

"Yes!" Yang Xuan smiled.

The old thief resigned.

"What's the matter?" Yang Xuan put himself in his shoes and thought about it later. If it was him, might he cut off his toes so decisively?I'm afraid it will be difficult.

For ruthless people, he will always be more respectful and stay away.

Wang Zhong didn't seem to see his face, I'm very busy, you can enjoy yourself if you have nothing to do, follow along with your hands behind your back, and said softly: "The old man knows what your envoy saw."

"I didn't see anything." Yang Xuan didn't want to get involved in this muddy pit.

"The main enemy of the Tang Dynasty now is the Northern Liao Dynasty. Your envoy should know that it is a joke to launch a large army to attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty."

"is it?"

"My Southern Zhou seems to be weak, but there is one thing that I am not as good as Tang."

"rich?"

"Your envoy has a good opinion. You have money! Some people, even if they are defeated in the first battle, can still fight again, and keep fighting...Will Beiliao sit back and watch?"

Yang Xuan smiled.

"What if Datang falls into the Southern Zhou Dynasty and cannot extricate himself, and Beiliao sends troops?"

The kings bowed their hands, "The old man has never said these words, so I leave."

Qin Jian yawned and walked out of the room, came over when he saw this, looked at Wang Zhong's limping back, and asked, "What did he say?"

"I owe him a favor."

What Wang Zhong said was the national policy of the Southern Zhou Dynasty to deal with the Tang Dynasty.

"Humanity?"

"Old Qin."

"exist!"

"Nan Zhou has money, food, and people."

"Yes!"

"If Datang sends troops to attack, once they are victorious, Nanzhou can use money and food to raise another large army, and keep smashing... and smash Datang into the muddy pond of Nanzhou."

"Afterwards, Beiliao sent out troops according to the trend, and the Tang Dynasty will be precarious!"

"Yes."

"Hiss! This is nothing to fear!"

"This is also the confidence that Nan Zhou dared to intervene in the southern border rebellion!"

"It's making good sense."

"Ha ha!"

Yang Xuan did not say that this was the words of the kings.

Back in Bianjing, everyone felt relieved.

"I have seen the envoy."

A servant waited outside the city with a smile on his face.

Yang Xuan dismounted, and the servant saluted, "Hearing that your envoy was frightened this time, His Majesty is disturbed, so let's take a look."

"Fortunately."

Yang Xuan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Nianxu's gourd.

"Dare to ask your envoy, is anyone rude this time?"

A thought popped into Yang Xuan's mind: Nian Xu was angry.

Let the envoys of the Tang Dynasty see the unbearable scene of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and what's more terrible, let the envoys of the Tang Dynasty see the unbearable situation of the Imperial Army in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Nian Xu wanted to find someone to vent his anger.

It is useless to listen to the private complaints of Wang Zhong and others. The most objective thing is the mission.

The embassy's misfortune to Chi Yu this time made them feel angry, so they knew who was the most incompetent.

interesting!

Yang Xuan's eyebrows became more angry, "The imperial army is incompetent!"

The Imperial Army of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was a huge system. If Nianxu wanted to reform, Yang Xuanju agreed with both hands...but I don't know what big jokes or big events will happen.

"Hehe!" The waiter laughed awkwardly.

"Also, who is that..."

The servant's ears moved.

"Yuan Xiao? This person is extremely unbearable, greedy for life and afraid of death."

Yang Xuan nodded, ready to enter the city.

The servant asked, "But who else?"

Yang Xuan shook his head, "Nothing."

Ahead, the kings turned their heads.

Yang Xuan nodded slightly.

I have returned your favor!
He can directly expose the kings, but the price is to become the enemy of the civil officials of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.In the future, if he leads the army to attack the Southern Zhou Dynasty, it will bring unnecessary troubles.

Moreover, Wang Zhong is good at drilling, he is greedy for life and afraid of death, and it is more beneficial to Datang to keep it.

The mediocrity of the enemy, the higher the official position, the better!
Wang Zhong squinted at him and smiled very brightly.

Just like this spring.

Yang Xuan turned his eyes and saw the two men on the edge of the city. Even with his head down, he still could see it.

Yang Lue and He Cong!
Yang Xuan also laughed.

On that day, the palace gave a banquet to the embassy's residence, and the name was to suppress the embassy.

The dishes were even better than the one at the banquet in the palace.

Everyone was eating heartily, but Wang Lao Er was packing.

"Second, what are you doing?" The old thief thought that Wang's second should be ruthless, so why did he still pack it.

"I'll take it back for Tu Chang to eat."

If this baby is nice to someone, it will always be nice.

"Yiniang's will be brought back later, for fear it will stink."

Yang Xuan felt that there was a little more warmth in the spring, and the smoked people were in a happy mood.

That night, Yang Lue sneaked in again.

After listening to Yang Xuan's introduction, he was silent for a long time.

"I have been in the Southern Zhou Dynasty for many years. The Southern Zhou Dynasty is indeed prosperous, but the life of the people has not been very good in recent years."

"Three redundant?" Yang Xuan had done his homework before coming.

"Yes. The founding emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was born as a bodyguard of the last emperor of the Chen Kingdom. He brought a prince of the Chen Kingdom here with him, readying his troops..."

After the fall of the Chen Kingdom, the bodyguards were already a giant, and immediately let the prince ascend the throne.

"In less than half a year, the prince took the throne and the guards ascended the throne. But there was an uproar in the army. In order to appease the army, this person invited the generals in the army, and gave them more money and land to make them give up their military power..."

Those big bosses stepped down and were replaced by the emperor's confidantes, so the situation in Southern Zhou quickly stabilized.

"But the one in the army was loyal to the Emperor of Chen, unless the entire army is changed..."

So the guard came and used civil officials to suppress warriors.

As a result, civil and military confrontation, the emperor rested easy.

This method is extremely clever from a political point of view, but it is foolish from a strategic point of view.

"The Southern Zhou army has weakened since then."

Yang Xuan said: "If such an army does not weaken, then there is no reason for it."

Yang Lue looked at him, "What did Lang Jun learn from it?"

"The army must have faith, and the soldiers must know why they are fighting. Knowing this, the soldiers will burst out with greater courage and be more proactive..."

"Huh!" Yang slightly startled, bowed his head and thought for a long time.

"Lang Jun's words are extremely brilliant, where did you learn them from?"

"When I first arrived in Taiping County, the place was full of criminals, rebellious and rebellious. I used this method to make them look brand new."

Yang Lue said happily: "Lang Jun has this insight, so it can be seen that it is His Majesty's protection."

The emperor can't protect me, it's Suzaku who protects me.

Yang Lue said: "Your Majesty has a general understanding of the national conditions of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and there will probably be gentle wind and light rain afterward. You can just enjoy it."

He suddenly smiled strangely; "Southern Zhou women are enthusiastic, if you like it, you can take a few away."

Rookie Yang Xuan said: "It's time for you to find a woman."

"..."

The two men fell silent.

They are all bachelors, what a shame!

Yang Lue fled away immediately.

Suzaku began to groan, "Alone in the study..."

"I turned off the phone!"

Suzaku: "Can't you afford it?"

"Is it interesting to expose people's scars?"

"It's boring, but being idle is also being idle."

……

"Your Majesty has been very busy recently."

In the duty room, Sun Shi had a serious face.

There was a smile on Han Bi's chubby face, "Princess Nanyang is back, and Your Majesty will have more family happiness, why should this be so?"

"He's the emperor!" Sun Shi snorted softly, "Peng Jing, Fang Chong and others have become more and more rampant recently, forming cliques in the court to fight against the New Deal. Does Your Majesty still have the heart to enjoy family happiness?"

"Those bastards!" Han Bi's eyes became more murderous, "If I can get rid of a few..."

Sun Shi shook his head, "Political disputes do not kill people, this is the ancestor's rule, if this rule is broken, the court will be in chaos."

"It's just a dissatisfaction!" Han Bi said sarcastically, "Those people can even be used by the Tang Mission, so they can be regarded as talents."

"We also took advantage of it. It's just that Wang Zhong and the others messed up the matter and let the envoys of the Tang Dynasty see the unbearable side of my Southern Zhou."

"Although the envoy is young, he is very experienced. The old man judges that he will come to see us tomorrow, Prime Minister Sun, and he may lose your face by then."

"President Sun." A small official stood outside the door.

"What's the matter?"

"The envoy of the Tang Dynasty seeks an audience."

Han Bi looked at Sun Shi, smiled wryly and said, "You actually came to see him today."

"Want to slap the old man in the face?" Sun Shi said indifferently: "No see!"

Han Bi said in surprise, "This is not your habit."

Sun Shi was never afraid of a challenge.

This is also the main reason why Nian Xu took a fancy to him to preside over the New Deal.

Sun Shi said indifferently: "The old man is going to the palace to teach His Highness."

Han Bi stood up, "The old man should go and meet him!"

Sun Shi smiled and said, "Spitting on your face?"

Han Bi sneered, "I won't be afraid if I do it."

Later, Han Bi waited in his own duty room of the Privy Council.

"How about Han Bi?" Regarding Han Bi, Yang Xuan's information about Han Bi was very rough from the official channel of Datang.

It is said that he is a Confucian general, and the command is determined or something.

Qin Jian said in a low voice, "It's because I have a bad temper."

"How will it be?"

"I like to do it, I am using it, why don't I go?"

"What excuse?"

"It's making my stomach hurt."

"Squatting in the latrine, thinking about you fighting Han Bi for [-] rounds?"

"The old man will definitely not lose to him!"

The voices of the two were not low, and the little official who was leading the way couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around and said, "Mr. Han is very literary."

You guys don't be so fucking beeping, okay?
Shame!

At the door of the duty room, the little official wants to put away the knife.

Yang Xuan shook his head, "This is an ancestral horizontal knife."

Little official, "Even if the general arrives here, he must withdraw his sword."

Yang Xuan thought of the story in the novel about Lin Chong who strayed into the White Tiger Hall with a knife, "Sorry, this knife is inherited from the ancestors."

"so what?"

"The sword is with the people, and the sword is dead and the people are dead!"

When Han Bi inside heard this, he patted the table and said, "Let him bring it in."

Yang Xuan nodded slightly, and then entered the duty room.

Bringing a knife is not something to be afraid of, but a secret battle before the meeting.

The knife was left behind, which meant that the envoys of the Tang Dynasty had to abide by the rules of the Southern Zhou Dynasty.

Qin Jian stood outside and sighed, "It's too tough."

Cheng Ran: "Is there a better way?"

"Naturally."

Qin Jian groped and groped from her bosom, and took out a small knife, the kind that even cut fruit.

Cheng Ran: "..."

Qin Jian said: "As long as you bring a knife in, you are victorious, so why care about the size of the knife?"

You are so talented... Cheng Ran: "..."

Inside, the two had finished exchanging greetings, and the host and guest chatted happily.

"Your envoy has come here, but has he not entertained you well?"

"Quite thoughtful."

"Have you ever been dissatisfied?"

“Food and beauty, it is unforgettable.”

"Then why not stay in the Southern Zhou Dynasty as an official? The old man promises that the envoy will be promoted every two years."

This is a joke, not a joke.

It's just a negotiating strategy, used to hit the opponent's spirit.

Yang Xuan smiled, "Actually, I think so too, it's just a matter of concern."

"What's the matter?"

"Being a general is a grandson, but I don't want to be a grandson."

These words revealed Nan Zhou's face, but Han Bi didn't change his face.

Sure enough, the prime minister not only needs to be able to sail a boat in his belly, but also needs to be able to do it himself.

"It's good to be a civil servant."

"Civilian, I don't know if Nanzhou has standards for being a civil servant?"

"Literary and elegant." Han Bi smiled slightly, with some reserve.

He was a well-known talented scholar in the Southern Zhou Dynasty in his early years.

Yang Xuan sighed.

The accompanying official smiled and said, "Why is your envoy sighing?"

Yang Xuan said: "If you talk about official status based on your literary talents, what worries the lower officials?"

The official smiled and said, "Your envoy can just talk."

"Han Xiang is afraid that he will become my subordinate."

Talking about talking, we have never lost!
Yang Xuan's eyes sparkled.

Han Bi just smiled.

What a braggart you are!

Do not believe you try.

The trial is over.

Yang Xuan said with a cold face, "Behind the rebellion in southern Xinjiang is the shadow of Southern Zhou."

"This statement is absurd!" Han Bi said lightly.

"The Southern Border Army captured a man from the Southern Zhou Dynasty and found the letter."

"As many letters as you want, this old man can forge as many as you want."

"Da Tang wants an explanation!"

"Explain what?"

Han Bi looked at Yang Xuan.

Sending troops, the current state of the Tang Dynasty is not the same as before, and sending fewer troops is a credit to the Southern Zhou Dynasty.There are too many troops, what about Beiliao?
Have no fear!

The officials in the duty room were all smiling reservedly.

This messenger is too simple and honest.

Yang Xuan opened his mouth.

"Cut off trade between the two countries!"

instant.

Everyone in the value room changes color!
