I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 406: Full martial arts! During the Yuan Dynasty meeting, the three special envoys fought

New Year's Eve.

Before it gets dark, the city of Bianjing is already filled with the sound of firecrackers and is very noisy.

The marriage officials of the Imperial City Department.

Wearing splendid floral clothes, holding golden spears and dragon flags, and wearing various masks.

Acting as a door god, judge, earth god, Zhong Kui, Kitchen Lord, etc., they walked through the streets and began the annual New Year's Eve exorcism performance.

There is a steady flow of people in front of each hook-and-rail tile house.

If you don't make a reservation several days in advance, you won't even be able to get in.

Some businessmen from other places gathered in restaurants. In addition to having a feast, they also gathered around the stove and stayed up until dawn.

In people’s homes.

He felt that he had worked very hard.

They were afraid of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty and relied heavily on the Song Dynasty for trade.

now.

Inside Su's house.

Xixia envoy Wu Zang Yazeng was sitting alone at the table, drinking wine.

It was because Su Liang facilitated the marriage between Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao.

Xixia is not afraid of Liao.

Yelu Zhongyuan originally planned to spend New Year's Eve at Dutingyi, but he left in anger.

Smoke was rising from the kitchen stove, and everyone began to cook the reunion dinner.

All he needs to do is for Su Liang to take them to pay New Year greetings after the New Year.

This was given by Yelu Zhongyuan an hour ago.

This was obviously because Yelu Chongyuan was incompetent, but he was the one who was scolded and beaten in the end. After Yelu Chongyuan returned to the court, he would definitely be impeached.

As for Pu Wang Zhao Yunrang.

Yelu Zhongyuan personally went to the Third Division to seek cooperation, but was obviously rejected. In a fit of anger, he cursed Xiao Liangde and slapped him twice.

But Su Zimu and Su Qinyi each receive four gifts every New Year's Eve.

Xiao Liangde looked helpless.

At this moment, inside Dutingyi.

……

Except for the Liao Kingdom, Goryeo, Japan and them, other countries and tribes have reached preliminary commercial cooperation intentions with the Song Dynasty.

into the night.

Because the other side simply does not dare to initiate a large-scale war at the moment.

……

At the moment, “lucky money” is not popular yet.

But he was afraid of Song Dynasty.

On the one hand, the Cao family is grateful to Su Liang on behalf of Empress Cao, and on the other hand, it is grateful to Su Liang on behalf of Uncle Cao Guo.

One is from the official family, one is from Queen Cao, one is from Cao's family, and one is from Zhao Yunrang's family of King Pu (who has been promoted from King of Runan County to King of Pu).

The left side of Xiao Liangde's face was red and swollen.

But unfortunately Xixia's reputation in the Song Dynasty was so bad that the Song Dynasty was not willing to cooperate with them at all.

Wu Zang also picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and murmured: "According to the current situation, if you completely offend the Liao Kingdom, you cannot offend the Song Dynasty. Perhaps if the relationship with the Liao Kingdom is stalemate, you can with the Song Dynasty." The relationship has eased."

Xiao Liangde, the special envoy of the Liao Kingdom, invited Park Youyong, the Korean special envoy, and Yoshida Yoshizada, the Japanese special envoy, to the post house to have a meal together.

When he returns to Xixia, he will definitely be scolded by the Prime Minister.

now.

The official family and Empress Cao were naturally grateful for Su Liang's "helping students".

He was also aggrieved.

It was more uncomfortable for him to see the Song Dynasty getting better and better than to see Xixia getting worse and worse.

Su Liang wasn't pretentious either.

Su Liang's family also started working together in the kitchen.

Although the craftsmanship is average, he is very busy and happily, and laughter and laughter can be heard from time to time in the courtyard.

In order to prevent Su Liang from returning the gift, these four people named the gifts on Su Liang's children.

In the post house where the Xixia delegation stayed.

If he keeps returning the favor, I'm afraid he won't be able to finish it until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Korea's special envoy Park Youyong and Japan's special envoy Yoshida Yoshitsune were also in a bad mood.

The current trade in the Song Dynasty is booming, and no one wants to take a piece of the pie.

But now Goryeo and Japan have a very tense relationship with the Song Dynasty. After returning to China, they will definitely become scapegoats.

The three of them drank a few glasses of wine.

Xiao Liangde said: "Other countries have trade contracts, but we have nothing. If we want to return to our country without being punished, we must get something back, at least in terms of face!"

Goryeo envoy Park Youyong frowned.

"In the past, when envoys from various countries left Beijing, the Song Dynasty would send some expensive gifts, but since the reform, they have just been symbolic gifts. It would be good to get back the original value, not to mention getting some benefits, I... I want to buy some at a high price The goods were rejected when they were returned to China!”

"Yes! The Song Dynasty really doesn't regard us as friends!" Japan's special envoy Yoshida Yosada also sighed.

Xiao Liangde leaned forward and said in a low voice: "Both of you, whether you can reap the benefits or not depends on your performance at the Yuan Dynasty meeting tomorrow!"

Park Youyong and Yoshida Yoshizhen couldn't help but get excited when they heard that Xiao Liangde had a plan.

The three of them sat together and started discussing immediately.

……

late at night.

In the hall of Su's house, the stove was burning vigorously.

Su Liang, Tang Wanmei, Tang Ze, Su Zimu, and Su Qin were sitting cross-legged on a blanket, their eyes widened.

And this moment.

There were five ink marks on Su Liang's face, three on Tang Ze's face, four on Tang Wanmei's face, three on Su Qinyi's face, and Su Zimu's face turned into a big tabby cat.

The five people competed in a game of blinking.

Whoever blinks loses and needs to draw a line on his face.

Su Liang's family is probably the only one with three generations that can play this type of game.

Place it in other poetry and book homes.

If a junior dares to draw something on an elder's face with a brush, he will be beaten.

Suddenly, Su Zimu stood up.

After he got close to Su Liang, he suddenly puffed up his cheeks. He looked very funny despite his painted face.

"Pfft!"

When Su Liang laughed, he blinked naturally.

Su Zimu was overjoyed and said: "Dad, you blinked! You blinked! You lost!"

Say it.

Su Zimu took the brush in his hand to draw on Su Liang's face.

Su Qin on the side stretched out her hand to stop her and said: "Brother, you are so shameless, so shameless!"

Just when the two brothers and sisters were playing around, Su Liang had a silly smile on his face.

Tang Wanmei took out the brush, drew a line on Su Liang's face, and then said excitedly: "Son, we won!"

When fighting, it was always Su Liang and Su Qin, Tang Wanmei and Su Zimu, and Tang Ze sometimes with his granddaughter, sometimes with his grandson.

Su Liang and Su Zimu are often the ones who suffer the most.

The family was noisy until late at night.

Su Liang had to attend the Yuan Dynasty meeting, so he slept with Tang Wanmei.

Tang Ze, Su Zimu, and Su Qin were preparing to stay up until dawn.

One old and two young.

The former is less sleepy, while the latter is full of energy, and they both have a lot of energy. They will never close their eyes until the sun comes up.

……

In the fifth year of Huangyou's reign, on the first day of the first month, the fourth watch.

The sky was full of stars and it was very cold.

After Su Liang washed up and had something to eat, he put on his official robe and ran towards the forbidden area.

When the sky is slightly bright.

All civil and military officials, as well as envoys from various countries and tribes, gathered in the Daqing Hall.

As usual, the officials spoke first, then Prime Minister Wen Yanbo spoke on behalf of the officials, and then it was time for envoys from various countries and tribes to enter the palace to congratulate.

this year.

Su Liang was appointed as Zuo Sijian, and his official position was relatively low, so he stood a little back, which gave him the opportunity to doze off.

The Taiwan admonishment officer in charge of supervision turned a blind eye when he saw Su Liang dozing off.

The Yuan Dynasty meeting.

Not to mention officials, even officials would fall asleep. After all, very few people really slept enough last night.

Everyone is holding on.

Some people even pinched their thighs hard to avoid being embarrassed.

soon.

Zhao Zhen delivered an inspiring speech.

The summary is: the reform changed the Song Dynasty, and now as long as the reform strategy continues to be implemented, the Song Dynasty will be able to create a prosperous age.

The officials of the Song Dynasty were very excited when they heard this.

Many foreign envoys looked envious and only regretted that they were not from the Song Dynasty.

Followed by.

Wen Yanbo made a lengthy speech about "literary officials will continue to work hard to reform the law."

After he finished speaking, envoys from various countries began to congratulate him.

The envoys all read or recited the greetings they had prepared long ago, and there was nothing new.

Su Liang's head felt dizzy and he was about to fall asleep.

Suddenly I heard the words of Pu Youyong, the special envoy of Goryeo: Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, on behalf of me, Goryeo, I have an unkind request! "

Hearing this, the scholar-bureaucrats and officials of the Song Dynasty all looked at Pu Youyong.

This statement is not part of the process of arrangements for the court meeting.

Zhao Zhen straightened up and said, "Speak!"

Pu Youyong handed over his hand again, and then said loudly: "On behalf of me, Goryeo, I am requesting a letter from His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"

"In the second year of Duangong, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty presented Goryeo with the Tripitaka. In the fourth year of Xiangfu, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty presented the Nine Classics, Historical Records, Two Hanshu, Three Kingdoms, Jinshu, etc.. When he was worshiping the Heavenly Saint During the year, His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty also allowed our Korean delegation to buy books in the Imperial College. "

"However, now, for some unknown reason, the Song Dynasty strictly restricts the outflow of books, and even claims that I, Goryeo, bought the books of the Song Dynasty just to give them to Liao Dynasty. This is really unjust!"

"The reason why the Han and Tang Dynasties were prosperous was that they exchanged valuables with neighboring countries. The Song Dynasty and Goryeo had a friendship of sending books to each other. We should not let each other lose our benevolence and justice because of some rumors. I, Goryeo, do not ask for gifts, but Ask for it and you’ll get it.”…

Heard these words.

A sneer appeared on Su Liang's face.

This Park Youyong is really shameless in his words.

His implication is: If the Song Dynasty did not agree to Goryeo's request for books, it would have lost its benevolence and would be far inferior to the Han and Tang Dynasties.

This is a typical "if you have money, you must help the poor, otherwise it is shameless" thinking.

Wen Yanbo and other ministers all frowned.

They instantly guessed Park Youyong's thoughts.

The latter believed that the Song Dynasty would definitely donate books for the sake of the dignity of a great country. Once he received the gift of books, he would have an explanation after returning to Goryeo.

Korea's special envoy Park Youyong had just finished speaking.

Japan's special envoy Yoshida Yosada, who had just congratulated him, also stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, I am also asking for books for Japan. Envoys from the Tang Dynasty and Japan used to have frequent exchanges, which created a lot of good stories. Now, the Song Dynasty and Japan can also strengthen exchanges and send books to each other..."

Yoshida Yosada compared the Song Dynasty to the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but the premise was that the Song Dynasty could donate books to Japan.

The two men's calculations were in full swing.

Zhao Zhen and other officials could see what they meant.

In recent years.

The reason why the Song Dynasty banned books from Goryeo and Japan was because many of the Song Dynasty’s mountain and river defense plans and new reform strategies were in books, making it inconvenient to spread them outside.

and.

Both Goryeo and Japan were the weaklings of the Liao Kingdom.

If the books of the Song Dynasty were accumulated in Korea and Japan, they would inevitably be spread in Khitan.

Zhao Zhen looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer for a while.

If he doesn't agree to give the book.

It will appear that the Song Dynasty was stingy, unkind, and lacked the style of the powerful Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

But if you give away books, it's a bad start.

In the future, there will inevitably be a lot of information about the Song Dynasty's new reform strategies and dangerous mountains and rivers spread out.

Just when Wen Yanbo was about to step forward to rescue Zhao Zhen.

Zuo Youding, the minister of Honglu Temple, strode out.

On such occasions, the two envoys insinuated that the Song Dynasty was stingy and inferior to the Han and Tang Dynasties, and banned books from them.

The first thing to be beaten was actually the face of Honglu Temple.

To slap Honglu Temple in the face is to slap Zuo Youding in the face.

Zuo Youding looked at the two of them with a sulky expression.

"Two special envoys, in recent years, the books banned in the Song Dynasty have flowed into Korea and Japan. This is not a stingy move, but the imperial court cannot go against the will of the people!"

"Goryeo merchants repeatedly stole copper coins from the Song Dynasty. In addition to stealing new agricultural tools from the Song Dynasty, they also clearly used the movable type printing technology from the Song Dynasty. However, after changing the wooden movable type into metal movable type, they claimed that the movable type printing was yours. technology……"

"And you Japanese, who often pass off inferior goods as good goods, and even threatened many times that your silver and sulfur will not be supplied to our Song Dynasty. There are also Japanese merchants who pretend to be pirates at sea and carry out plunder..."

"You do these shameful things and think that no one knows about it, but in fact it is widely spread among the people of Song Dynasty!"

"My court values ​​the opinions of the people most. If the people don't like to communicate with you, the officials will naturally follow the people's ideas. If you want to get a book from me, the Song Dynasty, I suggest you establish a good relationship with the people of the Song Dynasty first, and don't do anything else. Do those sneaky things!"

……

After what Zuo Youding said, the faces of Goryeo special envoy Park Youyong and Japanese special envoy Yoshida Yoshizada turned pale.

They couldn't argue with that at all.

They originally wanted to find fault with Da Song, but they didn't expect that all the faults lay with themselves.

The literati and officials of the Song Dynasty were all happy.

Zuo Youding's words were really too lethal.

Not only did he save the officials, but he also gave them a good scolding. It was really enjoyable.

Su Liang also cast approving glances at Zuo Youding.

Zuo Youding is tactful and has always been smart in everything he does. He talks about people and tells ghosts.

But today's words convinced all the officials of the Song Dynasty.

not far away.

Xiao Liangde, the special envoy of the Liao Kingdom, hung his head helplessly.

He originally wanted to let Korea and Japan get some Song Dynasty books, and then give him half of them, so that he could have an explanation when he went back.

Never thought about it.

Not only did they not succeed, they also caused Korea and Japan to lose face.

At this time.

Xixia envoy Fu Zang also rolled his eyes. He felt that now was the time to express his loyalty to the Song Dynasty.

Swish!
He walked out without hiding anything.

"His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, these two small countries have always followed the etiquette of the Liao Dynasty. They should ask the Liao Dynasty for books, but now they are shamelessly begging the Song Dynasty. It is really shameless. If the Song Dynasty agrees to their request for books, Then I should be given a share of Xixia.”

If you don’t hide and increase, you just don’t say it bluntly: Goryeo and Japan are the lackeys of the Liao Kingdom!
this moment.

Park Youyong and Yoshida Yoshizhen both looked livid.

What they hate most is to be called a "small country", but at today's meeting, the Xixia envoy mentioned it.

On such occasions, every word spoken reached the ears of their king.

Once embarrassed.

It is a loss of face for a country.

Pu Youyong turned his face to look at Wu Zang Yezeng and said coldly: "Special envoy Wu Zang, I heard that many party members advocated the abandonment of Han rituals. Even if the Song Dynasty gave you books, you barbarians can't understand the books." Don't you like to be a robber? There is no need to study when you are a robber?"

Goryeo and Xixia were separated by the Liao and Song Dynasties, so they were not afraid of Xixia at all.

Therefore, Pu Youyong focused on attacking the weak points, ridiculing Xixia for being vulgar and making the whole country a thief. Xixia did have a tendency to abolish Han rituals.

Wu Zang Ye Zeng didn't know how to refute for a moment. In anger, he strode up to Park Youyong and punched him on the ground with his fist.

"You're a villain, you just deserve a beating!"

Yoshida Yosada on the side was startled and was about to retreat, but Muzo Yamasu suddenly strangled him by the neck and threw him to the ground.

There are not many Xixia people who can speak, but there are many who can fight.

in a blink.

He beat the two envoys to the ground.

Wu Zang also raised his voice and said: "His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, after beating these two people, I... I will apologize to you again. This is a matter between our three countries. Please... please don't interfere!"

After saying that, Wu Zang also rode on Pu Youyong's body and started beating him.

Yoshida Yoshizada was also dragged over by him.

One person rides and two people fight.

boom! boom! boom!
The punches were aimed at the face.

Wu Zangyanzeng was so rude, he was actually sending a certificate of surrender to the Song Dynasty.

And this moment.

The scholar-bureaucrats and officials of the Song Dynasty were all stunned.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there has never been such a fight between envoys from multiple countries at the Yuan Dynasty.

They just wish the fight could last longer.

For a while, no one tried to start a fight.

Zhao Zhen looked down, his expression gloomy.

He didn't speak.

Naturally, none of the Forbidden Soldiers on the side would rush forward.

When Zhao Zhen saw that there was no hiding, he also started to attack very ruthlessly. Seeing that he was about to kill someone, he shouted loudly: "Pull away! Pull away!"

Immediately, the envoys from the Three Kingdoms were pulled away.

Zhao Zhen said: "Today is the meeting between our Yuan Dynasty and Japan. Fighting on such occasions is tantamount to being an enemy of the Song Dynasty. After you go back, let your own kings explain!"

Park Yoo-yong and Yoshida Yi-jung, whose faces were bruised and swollen, both had earth-colored faces.

They were not fighting, they were clearly victims, but at this moment, how could the Emperor of the Song Dynasty listen to their explanation.

At this moment, there was blood at the corners of their mouths, and they could no longer speak clearly.

The two of them looked at Xiao Liangde, the special envoy of the Liao Kingdom not far away, for help.

After Xiao Liangde's eyes briefly communicated with them, he quickly lowered his head and then turned his face elsewhere.

Clearly not planning to get involved.

The two were very angry, but had nothing to do, so they could only bow their hands towards Zhao Zhen and then stepped aside.

The Xixia envoy was very excited when he was not hiding. Today he was one against two and did not embarrass Xixia.

For this reason alone, he would not be severely punished.

not far away.

Su Liang was completely sleepless.

This was the most exciting Yuan-ri court meeting he had ever experienced.

He was thinking that after the dynasty was over, he would tell Liu Chang'er about this.

It is expected that an issue of the tabloid will be published tomorrow, a storybook will be published in three days at most, and a performance will be arranged by Goulan artists in five days...

immediately.

The mission's congratulations continued as before, and it was not over until nearly noon.

In order to prevent the Goryeo, Japanese, and Western Xia envoys from causing trouble again, Zhao Zhen did not allow them to attend the luncheon. He sent them all back to the post and asked the Forbidden Army soldiers to monitor them.

……

afternoon.

Xiao Liangde, the special envoy of the Liao Kingdom, had just returned to Dutingyi when he saw Yelu Chongyuan sitting in the hall with a black face.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Liangde, comes to see you!" Xiao Liangde hurriedly stepped forward to bow.

Yelu Zhongyuan stood up and said sternly: "Trash! Idiot! Useless thing!"

"Since you can let the Goryeo envoy and the Japanese envoy go to the Song Dynasty to ask for letters, why can't you speak for them when the Xixia envoy beats them."

"If you do this, will Korea and Japan still be of one mind with us?"

"Do you think that if you don't get involved, the Song Dynasty can't see that what the special envoys of the two countries did was instigated by Daliao? What a coward!"

Yelu Zhongyuan stretched out his palm.

"That's all! I don't want to hit you anymore, so just slap yourself twenty times!"

Xiao Liangde looked depressed. He looked at Yelu Zhongyuan and only wanted to reply: You are so capable, how come you became a prisoner of the Song Dynasty! You are so capable, why didn't you dare to fart when you were captured by the soldiers of the Song Dynasty and put under house arrest?

After he was satisfied in his mind, he reached out and slapped himself.

Since the Reform in the Song Dynasty.

All the Liao envoys who went to the Song Dynasty to congratulate Zhengdan did not end well.

Xiao Liangde originally thought that the situation would be better this year, but he never thought that it would be worse. His official career was basically over.
