King of Song

Chapter 54

"Dongyang, I really sweated for you just now!" Zhang Zongyi said with lingering fear: "Speaking of which, I'm still a little scared now, you are so courageous, if those words today really angered Lord Liao, we will come There is no return!"

Zeng Gong shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Lord Liao will take care of this occasion today. What's more, Dongyang is trying to argue with reason, so what can Lord Liao say? In the end, they were uneasy and kind, and they miscalculated in the end! Dongyang, today is really calm, eloquent and eloquent, it's really good!"

Lin Zhao squeezed out a faint wry smile, Mr. Zeng, don't compliment me!In fact, his back was already drenched, but he forced himself to be calm, and he was eloquent from inertia!

Under such occasions today, there is nothing to do, it is a last resort.For the sake of the dignity of the country and the face of the Great Song Dynasty, of course we must not let it go, and fight hard with reason.At the same time, there is also the factor that newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. If it were someone else, they might not have the courage to tease the Liao Lord directly!
In fact, the reason why Lin Zhao dared to act like this was not aimlessly.One is the indignation at the loss of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures and the tragic suffering in the Northern Song Dynasty.Second, the historical knowledge accumulated in previous lives also helped a lot. Since the Chanyuan Alliance, Song and Liao have not had any major conflicts.

Lin Zhao also determined that under the current circumstances, the Liao Kingdom may not have the strength and determination to fight the Song Dynasty.The Song Dynasty was afraid of the invasion of Minglan, so why weren't the Khitan people afraid?It is not a last resort, and without complete assurance, it is of no benefit to anyone to start the war lightly!It is precisely because of this that Lin Zhao dares to be so bold!Not to mention anything else, this time it really exercised my courage!
Zhang Zongyi said in a low voice: "Young people are quick-witted, and they make up lies in a decent manner. Even Patriarch Chen Tuan and Master Shao Yong have brought them out, haha!"

"Hey, I have no choice but to talk nonsense!" Lin Zhao smiled slightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The congratulations on the Liao Lord's birthday ended hastily, because the "wonderful" performance of Lin Zhao, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, almost disgraced the Liao Kingdom.Up to Yelu Hongji, the leader of the Liao Dynasty, and down to the officials of the Liao Kingdom, they didn't want to continue.

Especially Zhang Xiaojie, he wanted to find a crack in the ground immediately, it was really hard to be the number one scholar in the Liao Kingdom, why is it so sad to meet a talented scholar in the Song Dynasty?
At that time, the sentence "three lights, the sun, the moon and the stars" was thought to be a unique couplet through the ages, but I didn't want to be left with nothing to say by Su Shi's "Ode to the Elegance of the Four Poems".Unexpectedly, today, many years later, he was completely defeated by a little-known boy from the Song Dynasty.From then on, Zhang Zhuangyuan inevitably suffered from Songphobia, and he never recovered...

Then there are some celebrations, such as hunting, horse racing, singing and dancing, and in the evening, there will be a grand dinner.Although the envoys of the Song Dynasty were in the limelight, the Khitan people were angry and despised them. The envoys from other countries wanted to communicate but were worried about arousing the suspicion of the Liao Kingdom, so they avoided them one after another. This made them seem very lonely!
Lin Zhaobai was bored, so he took advantage of the gap to wander around the camp to relieve the pressure, and at the same time to see the customs and various performances of the Liao Kingdom.Of course, Su An was always by his side. The Khitan people's hatred index towards Lin Zhao has skyrocketed. It is also possible to be attacked by impulsive people, so security guards have to guard against it!

As expected, just after walking not far away, someone came to seek revenge.And the status is very important, the leader is the crown prince Yelujun of the Liao Kingdom!
"Emissary Song is eloquent, with a brilliant tongue, eloquent!" Although Yelujun was young, his mature face looked very stern and harbored malicious intentions.He was at the scene just now, and he could hear clearly that this person teased and insulted his father and the Liao Kingdom, which made him very angry!
Lin Zhaoqing knew that the visitor was not kind, but he couldn't help but smile all over his face: "Your Highness, the crown prince, is serious. I'm just speaking with reason!" ?

Yelujun said coldly: "Emissary Song is really humble. Your name is Lin Zhao, right? I remember you alone!"

"My name is not worth mentioning!"

"Don't put on airs, you are proud of your ability today, but it is destined to be only for a while. After you become the throne in the future, you must lead the army to break Heshuo, cross the Yellow River, and go straight to Bianjing, so that you can know how powerful I am Daliao cavalry!"

Isn't it true that one sentence made the prince of the Liao Kingdom set such great ambitions?This kid is a militant!This will be simple-minded, impulsive, understandable!But if you really sit on the throne of the Liao Kingdom, does it mean that you can start a war if you start a war?What's more, you may not be able to climb it, can Yelv Yixin allow you to live until then?Lin Zhao secretly laughed in his heart, and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

"What are you laughing at?" Yelujun felt that Lin Zhao's smile was very malicious!

"It's nothing, His Royal Highness has great ambitions, I admire you, and look forward to it!" Lin Zhao replied with a smile, as if there was still a bit of sarcasm!

"It seems that Gu is wrong, you are not only immodest, but also arrogant!" Yelujun said coldly: "In that case, Gu will compete with you!"

"Competition for what?" Lin Zhao couldn't help but smile helplessly when being challenged by the little baby prince for no reason!
Yelujun said: "Youdao is an all-rounder in both civil and military affairs, how about a literary and military competition with you alone?"

"How to compare?" Lin Zhao cautiously asked about the content!

"I heard that you are a Jinshi from the Southern Dynasties. You are no stranger to the Six Arts of Confucianism. Naturally, your knowledge of poetry and poetry is not a problem. The skill of archery is probably not far behind! This martial battle... there will be a horse race soon. I wonder if you are willing to participate. Compete with my Daliao warriors? As for Wendou, Terry..."

Yelu Jun called out, and the third princess, Yelu Tri, appeared out of nowhere, and handed over a piece of paper with her pink little hand.Lin Zhao took it, and saw a few lines of beautiful handwriting on the paper, which read: Mu Zhuangzhou, who left the world, can dream of a butterfly when he sleeps; The sound of birds and Sanskrit chant, the total of 360 days of beating bells, is silent.There are three Shanglian!

Yelujun said: "This is Wendou, and this is the Shanglian. I'm worried that the envoys of the Song Dynasty will fight one or two! Then, how about a horse race?"

Lin Zhao was still thinking, weighing the pros and cons, while Su An approached, and whispered in his ear: "How about riding a horse, my lord? If not, then I will do it for you!"

Lin Zhao smiled lightly, and Yelujun kept emphasizing the six Confucian arts, and even named himself as a Jinshi.Obviously, this is forcing yourself to participate in it yourself!

However, this Jinshi himself is a half-way monk, and he has never had much contact with the six arts of Confucianism.Yelujun didn't know if he had this idea to disgust himself on purpose!
Unfortunately, young prince, you miscalculated!In his previous life, Lin Zhao was from a police school and had more than a year of training experience as a mounted policeman, so he was not ignorant of equestrian skills.It's just that if you really want to compete with the Khitan people who grew up on horseback, it's probably very stressful!But can you not agree to this?We can only take one step at a time!

Lin Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, I agree!"

"Okay, let's talk about the next couplet first!" Yelu Jun gave Lin Zhao a high look, with a smug smile in his eyes, as if he was sure of winning!

Lin Zhao raised the paper in his hand and asked, "Could you tell me first, who made these three couplets?"

"It's me..." Yelu Terry just opened his mouth, but was interrupted by Yelu Jun: "Of course I am a talented person in Daliao, so don't worry about it, just follow the battle!"

Lin Zhao observed carefully that the handwriting on the paper was beautiful, and it seemed that it was written by a woman.Yelu Tri was only seven or eight years old, so he wouldn't have such calligraphy!that would be...

Looking at the content of the first couplet again, whether it is Zhuang Zhou's dream of butterflies, or listening to insects singing and birds singing, or Buddhist scriptures and Sanskrit sounds, there is always a feeling of loneliness!All kinds of scenes and feelings are like a woman's state of mind, and thinking of the identities of Yelu Jun and Yelu Tri, Lin Zhao can't help thinking, could it be that the Liao Queen Xiao Guanyin, who is both talented and beautiful, made it?
Lin Zhao smiled lightly, and picked up the pen and ink offered by the Khitan people.A Khitan warrior stepped forward very cooperatively, bowed his head and turned his back as a case, Lin Zhao immediately took the lead!Wrote: vulgars envy Chen Tuan, who wake up to be the emperor's teacher; the source of flowing water emerges, emerges, and a string of pearls emerges; All colors are empty!
