Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 386 Iron Coupon Dan Book
Not long after Qian Yuechan was seriously injured and dying, he accepted the facts and began to go into the cottage with Ye Chen with a calm face at this time to discuss the future of Wuyue Kingdom and the royal family Qian's very directly. Yue Chan is extremely rational in doing and seeing things, and at certain times he is also extremely cold-blooded and indifferent.

After Ye Chen pondered for a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he remembered a very special clan in Song Dynasty——the Chai family.He couldn't help saying: "Qian will become the second Chai in my Great Song Dynasty, and also have the 'Iron Coupon Pill Book'. However, the title of honor must be lower than that of Chai."

Qian Yuechan closed her eyes slightly, and began to recall what Da Song had done to Hou Zhou Chai in her memory.

After Zhao Kuangyin raised an army in Chenqiaoyi, he made Chai Zongxun, the young emperor of the later Zhou Dynasty, the king of Zheng, and this king was moved to Fangzhou immediately.The first imperial decree issued by Zhao Kuangyin was to give preferential treatment to Emperor Gong's mother and son, and to give Chai's iron certificate documents to ensure that Chai Zongxun and his descendants would enjoy wealth and honor forever, and no additional punishment would be imposed even if they committed crimes.This trick won the hearts of the people, and the Song Dynasty quickly consolidated its power.Zhao Kuangyin did not break his promise. After Chai Zongxun's mother and son moved to Tianqing Temple in the southern suburbs, they received generous treatment.The idyllic scenery, mother teaching children to read, enjoying themselves.

Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin erected a stele in the Taimiao, and stipulated that the new emperors after the Song Dynasty would go to the Taimiao to worship the stele and recite the oath silently.This stele stands in the middle room of the Taimiao bedroom, which is extremely mysterious.But the content on the stele is not a secret.But there are three very simple rules: one is to protect the descendants of the Chai family, and no punishment will be imposed if they are guilty;

In addition, Zhao Kuangyin also issued the most practical and symbolic "Danshu Iron Coupon" to the Chai family. With this coupon, the descendants of the Chai family will never die if they commit crimes.Originally, in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Chai Jin was so popular and lived a very nourishing life because of the iron coupons of Danshu.

In the book "Water Margin", there is a passage that even the clerks who worked in the inn at that time knew: "He is the descendant of Chai Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Since Chen Qiao abdicated, Emperor Taizu Wude gave him the oath The book iron coupon is at home".Chai Jin himself admitted: "Because of the merits of Chen Qiao abdicating the throne in the ancestors of the family, the previous dynasty once bestowed iron coupons on Dan Shu."At that time, everyone knew that with this thing at home, "no one would dare to bully him".Chai Jin himself put it more concretely: "But there are people who have done wrong, and no one dares to search." Even when Song Jiang was in trouble and came to Chai Jin, the high-ranking official said it more bluntly. He comforted Song Jiang and said: "Don't worry, brother. Zhe Mo has committed ten heinous crimes, and once he comes to our village, he doesn’t have to worry about it. It’s not Chai Jin who boasted and allowed him to arrest and steal officers and soldiers, so he dared not look at Xiaozhuang.” When he heard that Song Jiang just killed a “mistress” "After Yan Poxie, Chai Jin laughed: "Don't worry, brother, he killed the court official and robbed the property of the mansion, and Chai Jin dared to hide in the manor."

From the above conversations, it can be seen that the "Danshu iron certificate" is far more powerful than the "Shangfang sword" in the Song Dynasty. The filth can be tolerated!
"Danshu Iron Voucher" is commonly known as "Danshu Tieqi", also known as "Golden Book Iron Voucher", "Golden Voucher", "Silver Voucher", "World Voucher", etc., and is called "Iron Voucher" in the province.Danshu: writing with cinnabar; iron deed: a certificate made of iron.It is the evidence that the ancient emperors bestowed on heroes to enjoy preferential treatment or immunity from crime for generations.The diploma is written on the iron board with Dan, hence the name.In order to gain trust and prevent counterfeiting, the iron scroll was cut open, and the court and the princes each kept half.

These messages quickly flashed through Qian Yuechan's mind, she nodded and said, "This is some sincerity, but it's not enough."

Ye Chen frowned. It is conceivable that he would have to spend a lot of energy and pay a lot of money to convince the Emperor of Song Dynasty and the court for the item of "Dan Shu Iron Voucher", but this opportunity in front of him is really worth it. It is a rare event in a hundred years. If Wuyue Kingdom can be merged into the Song Dynasty without bloodshed, this achievement is too great. Even Ye Chen, who has already made great achievements, feels a little excited when he thinks about it.So, it would be a pity if you missed it.He thought for a while and said, "Senior, if you have any other requirements, you might as well say it."

"I won't think about this matter, but you should think about it." Qian Yuechan said calmly.

As soon as this remark came out, Ye Chen was stunned and speechless for a while, not knowing what the other party was thinking.If Qian Yuechan didn't mention specific requirements, where did he start?
Ye Chen fell silent, and then suddenly said after a while: "Wuyue Kingdom is the only country in the East that is based on business. Trust the younger generation, and the younger generation will allow Wuyue Kingdom to maintain its independence in business to the greatest extent even after it is merged into the Song Dynasty."

Qian Yuechan looked at Ye Chen quietly, the deep folds and age spots all over her face made her face look a bit scary, against the pair of muddy but calm and sharp eyes, she looked extraordinarily quiet, But there is a chilling hint of madness in the tranquility.

"I didn't care about what you said at first, but Wuyue Kingdom's current prosperous business situation is after all the result of painstaking management by generations of the Qian family. If you can really keep it going, it's not bad." Qian Yuechan With a hoarse voice, he said sarcastically: "It's just that the emperor of your Song Dynasty is not an ordinary emperor. With his ambition, if you can't satisfy him, how can you let the rich merchants of Wuyue Kingdom and overseas tycoons come here?" beyond his control."

What Emperor Song wanted was naturally to swallow the Wuyue Kingdom into its territory. Qian Yuechan also knew that after the death of himself and the current leader of the Wuyue Kingdom, Qian Hongchu, the Wuyue Kingdom would no matter whether it faced the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was secretly dominated by the Maitreya Sect, or was still in full swing. Da Song can no longer protect himself, only waiting for the fate of being swallowed.Now that it is known that Qian Hongchu was assassinated by the Maitreya Sect, and he was seriously injured and dying by Lou Yanming's sneak attack, it is absolutely impossible to rely on the Southern Tang Dynasty dominated by the Maitreya Sect.

What's more, the Wuyue Kingdom had a good relationship with the Song Dynasty, and it was itself a vassal state with a good foundation. Under such circumstances, it was actually the wisest decision to invest in the Song Dynasty early.However, this does not affect Qian Yuechan's willingness to sell, hoping to strive for greater benefits and wealth protection for the descendants of the Qian family.

This in itself is two completely different directions, and it is necessary to satisfy the emperor of the Song Dynasty and Qian Yuechan. Even in terms of Ye Chen's current status in the Song Dynasty and the weight in Zhao Kuangyin's heart, this is still a difficult task. task.As the saying goes, it is difficult for the girls in the building to play to such a level if they follow the brother's love and lose the sister-in-law's love.

Qian Yuechan suddenly sighed: "The biggest mistake I made in the past 20 years is actually being too proud. If I go out these years and kill all the people of the Maitreya Sect including Lou Yanming, maybe right now Hongchu and I, as well as the son I don't like, will not die. And Wuyue Kingdom should be able to survive for a few more years, and even join hands with Southern Tang to really resist the army of Song State."

There is a lot of confidence hidden in the very plain words, it seems that Qian Yuechan can kill a terrifying person like Lou Yanming, the leader of Maitreya, if he wants to.In fact, this is true. Shu was destroyed by the Song Dynasty five years ago. When Lou Yanming came to Wuyue Kingdom with the main force of the Maitreya Sect, he was seriously injured by Qian Yuechan, and it took him four years to recover.

For some reason, the breeze in the thatched cottage suddenly froze, and as the sword intent in Qian Yuechan's words became unmovable, Ye Chen's heart was stabbed fiercely, and his face turned pale. In the true realm of the Sword Emperor, even if he is seriously injured and dying, his every thought and movement still has the unique 'sword momentum' formed by the sword intent.Even the surrounding environment reacted accordingly, and the killing intent was so strong that it was difficult to bear the burden.

However, Ye Chen's physical body is strong, and his will is as hard as iron, so he can still support it easily.Ye Chen said calmly: "With senior's swordsmanship, if he concentrated on killing Lou Yanming, he would naturally not be able to live for too long, but the problem is that senior failed to kill Lou Yanming once, and the people taught by Maitreya Naturally, they will retaliate wantonly and send killers to kill the relatives or people they care about."

"What you said makes sense." Qian Yuechan sighed and said with her head down.

Without waiting for Ye Chen to say anything.Qian Yuechan suddenly said again: "Did you learn your swordsmanship from the Bai family?"

Ye Chen nodded in agreement, and then unreservedly explained the sword technique he learned from Bai Canghai.He was just a little surprised in his heart. Given Qian Yuechan's advanced kendo cultivation base and Jianghu qualifications, it is not surprising to know the existence of the Bai family of Jianzhuang who also practiced kendo and the characteristics of the Bai family's swordsmanship.But what Qian Yuechan said immediately surprised Ye Chen, even astonished.

Qian Yuechan's eyes were full of memories, and he said faintly: "Since your swordsmanship is learned from the Bai family, and that boy Bai Canghai is the apprentice of little Bai Chenao, and he counts you and Bai Canghai as peers, do you see?" I will also call Master Uncle."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help being stunned for a moment. After being taken aback, he suddenly remembered the four words "be careful of the sword emperor" in the secret letter sent by Bai Zixuan from Jianzhuang when he went south to Jiangnan and passed by Yangzhou. A little guesswork.Then he remembered that when he fought with Qian Yuechan before, although the latter's swordsmanship was marvelous, it did have some similarities with Jianzhuang's swordsmanship in terms of sword intent and sword moves.

Ye Chen had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and said with a curious face: "Please tell me the reason, senior."

At that moment, Qian Yuechan told Ye Chen a story about the past.

During the Tang Dynasty, there were the famous "Three Wonders of the Tang Dynasty", which were Li Bai's poems, Zhang Xu's cursive script, and Pei Min's sword.
