The last conscience of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 139 Write him a letter

Five servings.

After the fifth server, there are still many relatives.

When Cao Tan heard this, he immediately said: "Go and capture him and put him in prison. If he dares to resist, are the bows and horses in your hands just decorations?"

"This..." Cao Song was stunned.

Wang Jingyu said again: "He said that he was not satisfied without the documents from Zongzheng Mansion."

Cao Tan's eyes were full of murderous intent: "Go to the lord and write him an official edict. If you can't suppress him today, tomorrow the clan will dare to jump out and cause trouble for our Liang family. Not to mention the fifth service, just Within five days, he will be asked to kneel down and speak."

Wang Jingyu responded and trotted away.

After Wang Jingyu left, Cao Song looked at Cao Tan, his head already a little numb.

Just now, he was advising Cao Tan to keep a low profile, be cautious in doing things, and learn to maintain the relationship with the royal family.

What did he hear now?
Cao Tan's tone returned to the way it was before she got married, speaking directly when she had something to say and getting angry if she didn't like it.

"Third Uncle, if you feel inappropriate, the Cao family will issue a document and expel me from the Cao family. That means you, Third Uncle, are not afraid to tell the truth. Since the official ascended the throne, all edicts have been written by Xin Lang of my family. The official My family almost never manages government affairs, I have no intention of doing so, and I don’t want to.”

Cao Song began to think about how to use sharp words to make his niece understand the pros and cons.

Cao Tan added: "Uncle Gao has replaced 37 military attachés in front of the palace step by step. By the end of the year, more than [-]% of the military attachés will be trustworthy. The court is already planning to renovate Yuhang. Originally, I I want to go, but it's not convenient now, so I asked Jingyu to go on my behalf. What will happen to Hezhong Mansion? Yu Hang can only be more strict and absolutely cannot be merciful."

After Cao Tan finished speaking, he looked at Cao Song.

She was waiting for Cao Song to speak.

A cup of tea time passed.

Cao Song was still in a daze.

The time for two cups of tea has passed, and Cao Song is watching the birds on the pond in the garden.

A stick of incense time...

Cao Song suddenly laughed: "If you can write an edict, write one for your third uncle. Your third uncle wants to be an envoy to the Western Regions and go to the Uighurs and Qiuci."

Cao Tan has been waiting to quarrel with his third uncle.

who thinks.

Cao Song's sudden reaction made Cao Tan wonder what to say.

Liang Xin's side.

After hearing Wang Jingyu briefly talk about the situation at Cao Tan's side, he actually wrote an edict.

As a couple, Liang Xin still understood Cao Tan's inner thoughts quite well. Whether Cao Song could be turned away at this time depended on this edict.

There is no truth or falsehood in this edict.

If something can be done, it must be true.

If nothing can be done, even if Song Taizu came to life and wrote it in his own hand and used the seal, it would still be fake.

This is what Zhang Dun taught Liang Xin.

Since Zhao Ji likes to play, then go play happily, there will be people in this world to protect him.

A quarter of an hour later, there was a side hall on the west side of the south courtyard of Liang Mansion.

Of course there is wine.

In terms of cooking, the cooks in Liang Mansion are obviously inferior, but the cooks in Taoyuan Pavilion are still quite good.

There are many people drinking.

Several old men from Dongkuaoyuan are here. Zongze will be a little late, and he has to deal with the Hehuang battle report.Don't look at it as just a battle report, there are quite a lot of related official matters that need to be handled.

Adjust military ration supplies, sergeant rewards, battle statistics, military attache promotions...

In the side hall, Cao Song was definitely at the level of a social god. He personally poured wine for Zhang Dun, Su Shi, Fan Chunli and others, and kept saying: "Please take care of my uncle Cao. You must drink this wine well. You must drink it." good."

When Cao Song poured wine for Gao Shilin, Gao Shilin stood in the way: "Okay, I've known you since you were naked, don't do this to me. The chair you are sitting on today belongs to your brother Cao Ping. ,It's not yours."

"Same, same." Cao Ping didn't feel embarrassed at all and sat down happily.

Zhang Dun was polite: "Cao Jiedu, thank you for the wine."

Cao Song drank three glasses in a row, and suddenly his tone changed: "Tell me something, something I heard in Liaodu."

"tell me the story."

Cao Song asked first: "You all know Shi Le and An Lushan, right?"

Zhang Dun and others were a little surprised when they heard this. Why did they suddenly mention these two people? Zhang Dun replied: "Of course I know."

Cao Song said: "Last year, or the end of the year before last, there was a Jurchen tribe, and its leader was a young man. Of course, he is much older than our brother Xin. His name is Aguda."

Hearing the name Aguda, Liang Xin's attention was instantly concentrated.

Cao Song went on to say: "When he arrived in the capital of Liao, he played a game of two continents with the nobles of Liao. The nobles of Liao failed to surrender to Qiong, but they went on their own. Aguda drew his sword and wanted to kill him, but was persuaded by the people around him. Although the Lord of Liao was angry, , but let him go back, some important ministers of the Liao State gave advice, quoting the two people just now, saying that Aguda is like An Lushan and Shi Le, and letting him go will eventually be detrimental to the Liao State."

After listening to this, Liang Xin couldn't help but sigh, there are still capable people in Liao.

Su Shi explained to Liang Xin what the Shuanglu Game is, which is a chess game that tests strategy, luck, and resourcefulness.

After hearing this, Zhang Dun said to Cao Song: "Brother Xin, for one hundred Silla maids, stole five hundred pairs of armor from the War Department's warehouse and sold them to the Jurchen Wanyan tribe, the tribe of Aguda, who came to trade. , is Aguda’s cousin.”

Su Shi said: "Lord Liao, he admires our Renzong, advocates recuperation and recuperation, everyone lives in peace, and does not like fighting."

Cao Song laughed after hearing this: "It's a pity that he is old. His grandson, from what I heard, is more powerful than the one in our court."

After Zhang Dun heard this, he said with a cold face: "Are you better at visiting brothels, or at calligraphy and painting, or at running a country?"

Cao Song: "No, he prefers hunting, followed by brothels. As for calligraphy and painting, he is far behind the one in our court."

Fan Chunli took over the topic: "That is, extravagance and lust, and credit fraud."

Cao Song: "Fan Gong, you're welcome."

Fan Chunli smiled. He was a scholar, and he certainly couldn't use too vicious words to describe a country's crown prince.

Zhang Dun picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses in a row.

He was uncomfortable.

He never expected that the Liao Kingdom, which claimed to be the Northern Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty were actually competing to see whose emperor was worse.

Liang Xin finally spoke: "Aguda is a hero."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes shifted to Liang Xin's face.

Liang Xin held a wine glass in one hand and said slowly: "But what about the hero? Under the equality of all living beings, he has to kneel. When he can fight against the Liao Kingdom, the justice of the earth will tell him that this Who has the final say in the world. Of course, I am not a worshiper of truth and justice. I believe in one sentence more."

Su Shi asked: "What are you talking about?"

Liang Xin: "Military officers are not afraid of death, and civil servants are not greedy for money. This world will be prosperous."

"Wonderful, drink to the fullest."

After drinking, Liang Xin suddenly said: "Third uncle, next year you will take a chance to go on a mission to the Liao Kingdom again."
