The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1234
Song Changsha City.

There was good news again in the palace.

Concubine Ning Yue Yue, who had just been married into the palace by the emperor for less than a month, also gave birth to a princess for the emperor.

Zhao Yueya, the third princess of Song Dynasty.

Not long after the lanterns and red papers in the palace were removed, the scene of festooned lanterns reappeared again.

Since the emperor came back from Lin'an, there have been many happy events in the palace.

First, Xiangfei Yunjing gave birth to a princess for the emperor, and then the emperor married Xiangfei, Ningfei and Duanfei into the palace at the same time.Now Concubine Ning gave birth to the princess again for the emperor.

And those who know that Le Wu is also pregnant calculate the time, probably in a few months, the concubine Duan will also give birth.

Fortunately, the emperor didn't mean to be extravagant, otherwise it would be a lot of expense just to arrange these happy events.

Although the court of the Song Dynasty had abundant taxes, the expenditure was also huge, and there was not much money left, so it really couldn't stand the emperor's extravagant spending.

Another three days passed in a blink of an eye.

Tuoba, She Tuo, Sikong and the envoys of the Wu family arrived outside the Chengdu mansion.

They are all from the army, and they are the most trusted direct descendants of She Tuoli, Tuoba Wu and others.At the same time, he is also a person with good eloquence and a lively mind.

She Tuoli and others obviously valued this surrender.Because this road is the best choice for the four companies.

But at this moment, the war is approaching, and the city gate of Chengdu Prefecture is already under strict control.

The envoys of the four families arrived outside the north gate of Chengdu Mansion, only to see that there were already long queues of people outside.The speed of entering the city is extremely slow.

In order to prevent the enemy from entering the city in a gap, the soldiers of the Shuzhong Military Region checked carefully at the gate of the city.

Everyone who enters the city not only needs to have a book-making certificate from the people of the Song Dynasty, but also needs to explain carefully where they live and why they come to Chengdu.

Then there are those people from the rivers and lakes, the weapons they carry with them also need to be temporarily kept by the army before entering the city.

Otherwise, don't even think about entering the city.

All of these need to be registered, which is undoubtedly quite complicated.

The envoys of the four major families looked at each other in blank dismay.

In the past, they had also heard about the census of the Song Dynasty and the issue of "identity cards" to the people of the Song Dynasty.At that time, I only felt that the emperor of Song Dynasty was so picky.

After all, although this allowed the Song Dynasty court to know how many people there were in the country, it was extremely wasteful of manpower and material resources.For this matter alone, the Song court had to set up more yamen.

And now, they see other uses of this census.

Under this kind of investigation, it is really more difficult for the spies in their army to sneak into the city than to go to the sky.

What surprised them even more was that the Song Dynasty was able to conduct a census in Chengdu Prefecture in such a short period of time.

The efficiency of government offices in the Song Dynasty can be described as astonishing.

Then, the envoy of the Tuoba family said: "Everyone, there are soldiers from the Song army in the Chengdu government who are strictly investigating, what should we do?"

They can come here disguised as people from the rivers and lakes, just to deceive others.But they never thought that there would be such a martial law in Chengdu Mansion.

After all, Da Song had hardly done this kind of thing before.

It's just because Da Song didn't have such conditions before.And when such conditions are met, the battlefield has also been transferred to Dali and Xin Song.

The Sikong family's envoy frowned slightly, and said: "Looking at the speed of the interrogation, I'm afraid it's extremely strict. It's already impossible for us to sneak into the city. If we want to enter the city, I'm afraid we have to... identify yourself."

"But there are too many people here..." the envoy of the Tuoba family said again, with a very worried look on his face.

Even if She Tuoli, Tuoba Wu and others did not specifically explain, they all know that there must be absolutely no news about the vote for Song Dynasty.

After all, the Empress is not easy to deal with. If she finds out about this, she will most likely take some action to prevent the four major families from voting for the Song Dynasty.

The messenger of the Sikong family said: "Why don't I go up and try first?"

The remaining three messengers all choose the default.

Then, the envoy of the Sikong family dismounted and walked towards the gate of the city.

He walked from the side of the line until the front of the line, where the soldiers of the Song Dynasty approached.

Before he had time to speak, a soldier yelled softly at him: "Don't jump in line, hurry up and line up at the back!"

The envoy of the Sikong family is also a person with real power in the army. He was almost annoyed by being so lightly shouted at, but he had to suppress his anger forcibly.

With a sullen face, he walked towards the highest-ranking general at the gate of the city.

This can be discerned from the armor and clothing.

"Stop!"

But he had just walked a few steps, but was stopped by soldiers again, "What are you going to do?"

Even the surrounding soldiers looked at him with a look of defense, and their eyes were rather unkind.

In fact, it's no wonder that these soldiers' attitudes are not very kind, but that they are actually soldiers of the Chengdu Mansion's garrison army.Most of the army are rookies. Facing a big battle at this time, their hearts are nervous, and they dare not slack off in the matter of interrogation. Naturally, their attitude will be much more blunt.

The Sikong family envoy had no choice but to stop again.

He originally wanted to reveal his identity directly to the general, and then let him pass the news to the chief general of the Song army in the city.Now, that's clearly impossible.

He had no choice but to say to the young soldier in front of him: "I am a native of Xixia, and I am here to ask to see the general of the city. Please pass it on for me!"

But as soon as he uttered the word Xixia, the eyes of the soldiers in front of him were already wide open, as if facing an enemy.

"Clang!"

The soldier pulled out the saber from his waist in an instant.

This made the soldiers next to him a little nervous, and quickly surrounded them.

The envoys of the Sikong family felt bitter, but they could only say again and again: "I am not hostile, but have secret military information to report. What are you going to do?"

Fortunately, the movement here finally alarmed the commander-in-chief standing directly below the gate of the city.

The commander-in-chief with red tassels on his head walked towards this side, "What happened?"

This finally made these recruits who had not experienced any big battles not tie up the envoy of the Sikong family.

When the commander approached, the young soldier who stopped the envoy said: "General, this man said that he is from Xixia, and he has secret military information to report, so he asked to go to the city to see the general."

The commander-in-chief sized up the envoys of the Sikong family, "A man from Xixia? What is your identity? What is your military situation?"

It is impossible for the envoy of the Sikong family to reveal his purpose in front of so many people, he just said: "I can only talk to your general about this matter!"

The commander-in-chief revealed a suspicious look on his face, and said: "The master general is something you can see whenever you want."

He was also worried that this messenger of the Sikong family would be a master.

If such a person is brought into the city, it is likely to cause some confusion in the city.

The envoy of the Sikong family was really scolding his mother in his heart at this moment.

He didn't expect these soldiers to be so difficult to deal with, and of course he could tell from his experience that these soldiers were all rookies.

Even if it is the commander-in-chief, he is afraid that he has not served in the army for a long time.Maybe it was promoted in the Song Dynasty imperial examination.

He hesitated and said, "Is it okay to pass it on for you, please?"

The commander-in-chief chuckled, "Now you Xixia are going to fight our Great Song Dynasty, how can we let you go to see the general!"

The Sikong family envoy had no choice but to ponder for a while, and could only say: "Then it is always okay to deliver the letter for me?"

The commander-in-chief who was in charge of the interrogation at the city gate finally did not refuse this time.

The envoy of Sikong's family borrowed paper and pen from them again, and wrote down his and others' intentions on the paper, and handed it to the commander.

The commander-in-chief sent the soldiers to the city.

From the beginning to the end, there was no intention to let the Sikong family envoy into the city.

The messenger could only wait outside the city.

Time seems to be so difficult.

It took about half an hour until the soldier who delivered the letter finally ran out of the city again.

The soldiers went to the side of the commander-in-chief and whispered a few words softly.

The envoy of the Sikong family was about to ask, when the commander-in-chief said: "Our lord has already read the letter, you should go back!"

The Sikong family envoy was slightly stunned, "Your general has nothing else to say to you?"

The commander-in-chief said: "No."

At this moment, the envoy of the Sikong family was furious.

In his opinion, this was undoubtedly underestimated by the generals of the Song army in the city.

But what can he do?
After his chest heaved violently a few times, he had no choice but to ask again: "May I ask if you have passed the transmission?"

The commander-in-chief asked, "Why did you lie to you?"

The envoy of the Sikong family had no choice but to cup his hands, turned around and walked towards the back, his expression extremely solemn.
