Chapter 314 0311 [Song Envoy]

That night.

Han Zhen sat in front of the window, looking through the charts presented by Qi Meng.

Judging from the nautical chart, the sea route from Jiaozhou Bay to Goryeo and the Japanese Kingdom is extremely mature, with different routes in different seasons, using the power of the monsoon to assist navigation.

Han Zhen was not surprised by this. After all, Goryeo and Japan were very close to Shandong and had begun exchanges hundreds of years ago.

To his surprise, one of the charts actually sailed across the northern Indian Ocean to West Asia and the east coast of Africa, ending in Somalia and the Arabian Peninsula, passing nearly fifty countries along the way.

The reason why it can achieve such impressive results is due to its shipbuilding technology and navigation technology that have led the world for hundreds of years.

Fifty countries, what is this concept?

These are the leeks that are glowing green.

However, Zhao Song actually ignored such a maritime treasure house and never formed an official trade caravan. Instead, he continued to steal food from the people.

Outrageous!

"Husband."

A pair of arms as white and tender as jade stretched out from behind and grabbed Han Zhen's neck.

The faint fragrance of orchid lingers on the tip of the nose.

Han Zhen asked softly: "What's wrong?"

"Husband, it's getting late. Let's take a rest early."

Zhao Fujin bit his lip gently, with a hint of shame and expectation in his eyes.

Hearing the soft voice, Han Zhen's eyes flashed with surprise.

Xiao Nizi has learned how to eat marrow?

You know, in the past, she was very shy when it came to sex, but Han Zhen would be so shy after teasing her a little bit.

Today is an anomaly.

"it is good."

Putting down the chart in his hand, Han Zhen stood up suddenly.

With a soft cry, Zhao Fujin lay on his back, scaring her so much that she quickly clasped her hands.

Carrying Zhao Fujin on his back, Han Zhen blew out the candles and stepped onto the bed.

Not long after, a suppressed cry sounded in the room.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhao Fujin finally regained his composure. He supported his limp body and picked up the teapot from the table in the dark.

After taking a sip himself, he handed the teapot to Han Zhen.

After drinking tea, he snuggled into Han Zhen's arms. Zhao Fujin playfully drew circles on his chest with his small hands and said softly: "Husband, we have been married for more than four months, but there is no movement in my belly. "

Hearing this, Han Zhen couldn't help but feel happy.

He asked why Zhao Fujin became so positive tonight. It turned out that he saw the cute little Heyue and wanted to have a baby.

Han Zhen comforted her softly: "It's not your problem, it's my problem."

Zhao Fujin was moved and said: "Husband, don't try to coax me. Xiao Heyue has been born, so how can there be any problem for you, husband?"

Han Zhen felt that it was necessary to explain clearly to the little girl, otherwise she might have random thoughts.

Thinking of this, he leaned into Zhao Fujin's ear and explained in a low voice.

"ah!"

Zhao Fujin suppressed his shame and said dissatisfied: "How could my husband do this?"

"You're still too young. Let's talk about it in two years."

Han Zhen gently stroked her smooth and delicate jade back and explained: "Run Niang is a few years older than you. Her birth to Heyue was extremely dangerous. Her body has not grown yet, so I am afraid her life will be in danger."

"Husband, you are so kind."

Zhao Fujin looked moved, and the happiness in his heart almost overflowed.

Han Zhen asked, "I'm going to Jimo in two days to inspect Jiaozhou Bay. Do you want to go with me?"

At first, when he heard that Han Zhen was going to travel far away, Zhao Fujin was still a little reluctant to leave. But after hearing the news, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise: "I haven't seen the sea yet. I only heard that the sea is boundless and has magnificent waves."

Immediately, she said again: "Husband, can you please bring Yuyou and Suyi with you?"

"You have already spoken, so of course you have to bring it with you."

After several months of getting along, the relationship between Zhao Fujin and his daughters has become even better.

Han Zhen was naturally happy to see the harmony in the harem, and it was also the result of his intentional guidance.

"Sleep."

"Ah."

Zhao Fujin slowly closed his eyes with a smile on his lips.

……

Two days later, after briefly explaining some matters, Han Zhen set off for Jimo.

On this trip, except for Zhao Fujin and his daughters, he only brought with him three hundred personal guards.

Yidu is hundreds of miles away from Jimo and there is no waterway, so it takes ten days to reach it.

When they first left the city, the little girls were still in high spirits.

After a few days, the freshness wore off, and everyone felt boring, huddled in the carriage and refused to get out.

Just as Han Zhen was rushing to Jimo, the envoys congratulated by Zhao Song entered Yidu City.

Sitting on the carriage and looking at the bustling streets, Master Sun had a complicated expression.

Before coming to Shandong, he thought that under the rule of the rebels, the bandits would take over, the people would be in dire straits, and the people would live in dire straits.

As a result, after entering Shandong, wherever we looked, the people were peaceful and happy, and the subordinate officials were in good health.

The countryside is pastoral and the city is prosperous.

Deputy envoy Li Gang looked solemn: "I originally thought that the Han bandit was just a warrior, relying on the soldiers. But I never thought that he was actually a heroic leader who managed the land of Shandong in an orderly manner."

Sun Fu sighed: "Yes! If we let it develop steadily for another ten years, I'm afraid it will be another Xixia."

A cold light flashed in Li Gangyu's eyes: "This person cannot be kept. After returning to the court, I will serve as a memorial to Your Majesty and eradicate the Korean thieves as soon as possible."

"It's easier said than done."

Sun Fu smiled bitterly: "The Qingzhou thieves are brave and powerful with firearms, so the outcome is still uncertain. What's more, the Jin people and Xixia are eyeing each other. Once we start a war with the Han thieves, the Jin people will definitely take advantage of the situation and go south."

"Alas!" Li Gang sighed.

The timing of Han Zhen's rise was too clever, just like the original Xixia.

If it were not for the fear of the Liao Kingdom, how could Xixia withstand Zhao and Song Dynasty with only five continents.

A few big victories such as Haoshuichuan meant nothing at all. In fact, for Zhao Song's huge size, he could recruit hundreds of thousands of troops in an instant.

How many people are there in Xixia? How much food is there?

Can't afford it at all.

The main reason why they were helpless against Xixia was that they were afraid of the Liao people in the north.

Today, Han Zhen is exactly the same as the original Xixia people, except that the Liao people in the north have been replaced by more brutal and brave Jin people.

In Li Gang's eyes, Han Zhen was more difficult to deal with than Li Yuanhao.

Xixia is a bitter and cold land, and the Dangxiang people are just barbarians.

But Shandong is not the case. As the head of the nine states in ancient times, it is rich in resources, including fertile farmland, mines, and even a few horse-breeding lands.

Han Zhen was a Han Chinese, holding the sword of a subordinate official, so he had no worries about having no one to govern the people.

Thinking of this, Li Gang's face became even more sad.

At this moment, the carriage stopped slowly.

"Brother Boye, you are fine."

A hearty laugh came.

Sun Fu adjusted his appearance and said, "Xie Shouqi is here to greet you."

"Ah."

Li Gang nodded.

After getting off the carriage, Sun Fu smiled and cupped his hands: "After so many years of separation, Brother Shouqi still has the same style."

Looking at Xie Ding's purple official robe, Li Gang's eyes flashed with disdain.

He has an upright temperament and extremely despises Xie Ding for turning himself into a traitor.

Sun Fu introduced: "This is Taichang Shaoqing Li Gang."

Hearing this, Xie Ding cupped his hands and said, "I have admired you for a long time. Li Shaoqing has spoken out twice in writing, and I admire him very much."

Li Gang snorted lightly and cupped his hands perfunctorily.

Seeing this, Fu Sun quickly explained: "Li Shaoqing is tired from traveling and traveling, so maybe he is a little tired."

Xie Ding smiled slightly and said unconcernedly: "I have already held a banquet to welcome you two."

After the envoys settled in the temporary pavilion and translated, Sun Fu and Li Gang came to Zhuolou for a banquet.

In addition to Pei Huai, the Minister of Rites, Xie Ding also brought Liu Mianzhi to accompany him.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Li Gang looked slightly drunk, and with the strength of the wine, he said sarcastically: "Xie Shangshu is famous, and I have heard about it. I am just a beautiful lady, how can I become a thief? Xie's family has lived in the Song Dynasty, and he is loyal to the emperor. He is very grateful. The Duke (Xie Jiang) has a spirit in heaven, and I am afraid that future generations will feel sad and lamentable when they learn that he is like this."

As soon as these words came out, the originally lively atmosphere came to a halt.

Xie Ding suppressed his smile and said calmly: "If I remember correctly, Li Shaoqing also served in Shandong?"

Li Gang was not afraid and replied: "Yes, in the second year of Zhenghe, I will be appointed as a professor in Jeju."

Xie Ding asked again: "Li Shaoqing came from Dingtao and must have passed through Jeju. I wonder how Jeju compares with today when Li Shaoqing was in office?"

"This……"

Li Gang's expression froze.

He has a noble nature and is unwilling to lie without conscience.

After a moment of silence, Li Gang muttered: "Cai Jing, Wang Fu and other treacherous ministers have controlled the government, making the people miserable, but this is not the reason for brother Xie to turn into a traitor. We, the scholars, should work hard to make a difference and see the blue sky through the clouds."

"Now that four of the six thieves have gone, we, the loyal ministers and righteous men, will eventually take charge of the court again. At that time, we will assist His Majesty in diligent administration, love for the people, implement benevolent government, and stabilize the country. Only in this way can we live up to Mr. Hengqu's four words."

"Ah."

Liu Mianzhi sneered and said quietly: "The root is rotten. If you get rid of a group of six thieves, new six thieves will emerge. It's just a futile effort."

Li Gang's expression changed and he said angrily: "Liu Zhizhong, I know that you have resentment against the official family because of the Luo School incident, so you slandered me."

"slander?"

Liu Mianzhi retorted: "So, does Li Shaoqing think that Li Bangyan, Bai Shizhong, and Cai You are all loyal ministers and righteous men with high moral character?"

"you……"

Li Gang was speechless for a moment.

At this time, Master Sun tried to persuade him to make peace: "Don't hurt the harmony."

After saying that, Fu Sun tugged at the corner of Li Gang's clothes and winked at him.

They came here to lobby and persuade Han Zhen to give up the alliance with the Jin Kingdom. How could they act on their own initiative?

Li Gang naturally knew, but he had a strong temperament.

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he picked up the wine glass and said: "I am too drunk to drink, so I will take my leave first."

After drinking all the wine in the glass, Li Gang stood up and left.

After Li Gang left, thanks to Sun Fu's efforts, the atmosphere at the wine table became lively again.

Seeing the drunkenness in the eyes of Xie Ding and others, Sun Fu asked calmly: "Brother Shouqi, there were rumors a while ago that the Kingdom of Jin sent envoys here. Is this possible?"

Liu Mianzhi and Pei Huai only felt funny in their hearts.

Rumor?

When will the Jin Kingdom's secret envoys be known to the common people?

"That's true."

Xie Ding nodded and replied.

Sun Fu did not ask further questions, but flattered him a little: "The golden man is ambitious and cunning, but County Magistrate Han is a hero of his generation, and he has the help of virtuous ministers such as Brother Shouqi, so he probably won't fall into the trap. "

"Ha ha."

Xie Ding smiled slightly and didn't say much.

Seeing this, Sun Fu stopped talking and dropped the topic.
