A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 164 I will wait and see

The barracks is an important department of the Privy Council. To be in charge of this department, Cao Yun must be very capable.

But to be a leader, ability alone is not enough. You must also have prestige.

Cao Yun felt that his prestige was damaged.

"...He actually attacked the Koreans. It's surprising that he did it as the first thing he wanted to do, but it's not that easy..."

There is a Propaganda Court in the Privy Council, where the four-room clerks work together.

Centralized offices make it easier to monitor relevant people and prevent leaks.

This shows the importance of the fourth room of the Privy Council.

Cao Yun stood in the lobby of the Xuanyuan Court and boasted, until a clerk shouted from the other side of the courtyard gate: "Jin Chengdao is here."

Cao Yun was standing on the side of the lobby, which was slightly dark.

Hearing this, he looked sideways at the clerks and smiled, smiling proudly.

He pointed outside and said: "Let's just say this, this guy! He can't be too proud. Look, look, isn't this retribution coming! Hahahaha!"

The clerks were also a little commotion, and someone said: "This is an envoy from Korea. If Jin Chengdao really wants to be serious, Shen An is afraid..."

That's what Jin Chengdao thought.

He and two attendants came to the Privy Council and awaited the announcement.

This is the military center of the Song Dynasty, and it is also the top department of the two governments together with the Political Affairs Hall.

"...Some people say that Emperor Song was persuaded by Shen An and wanted to cancel the rules of reception along the way..."

A follower whispered.

Jin Chengdao squinted and looked ahead, and through the snowflakes, he saw a small official.

"That's a rumor."

Jin Chengdao stood under the eaves, stretched out his hand to catch a few snowflakes, then perked up and said: "It is rumored that Shen An made stir-fries. I guess he must be a sycophant. Such people are indifferent. Let's talk about it when we meet." .”

The clerk ran over despite the heavy snowfall and said, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry, Shen Daizhao has something to do and has to go out."

What?

Jin Chengdao said with a livid face: "Jin will go out as soon as he comes. This is contempt for Goryeo. Jin must go to His Majesty to ask what Shen Daizhao means."

In the heavy snow, several people came from the front.

"It's Shen Daizhao."

Shen An strode over. He walked to the gate, glanced at Jin Chengdao on the left, and then stood quietly.

Yao Lian was waiting outside the door, but he couldn't go in until Shen An came out.

As soon as he rode, he galloped through the snowflakes in the sky.

Zhao Zhen, who wanted to be famous forever, made a decision.

The chamberlain dismounted and said with a steady gaze: "Your Majesty has an order. All diplomatic matters should be done in the ceremonial room. Shen An is new here. He must do it well. He must not let the Song Dynasty lose face. He must be fair and proper..."

Shen An bowed, and a group of officials behind him bowed.

"I accept your order."

The chamberlain mounted his horse, rode it in a circle, glanced at Jin Chengdao beside him, and said: "Before I came, His Majesty said that Shen An would be a great man to the Han Dynasty and a great man to the Song Dynasty. Then I’ll wait and see.”

There was a discussion in the court just now, but when Zhao Zhen explained the several negotiations between Shen An and the Liao people, the ministers had to bow their heads and agree.

He can deal with even the most ferocious Liao people, so who are the Koreans?

Shen An felt his chest heat up. He bowed again and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. I will do my best to fulfill my mission."

The chamberlain nodded, rode his horse and disappeared into the snow dance.

Shen Jing looked at it quietly and suddenly said: "Tang Ren."

"Waiting for the edict, the official is here."

Shen An said: "Since foreign affairs are matters of my ceremonial chamber, if envoys from various countries want to do anything in the future, please come to me in the Privy Council."

"yes."

Shen An had already asked for leave from Du Ziling. He walked out of the gate and mounted his horse with Yao Lian.

Tang Ren glanced at the pale Jin Chengdao next to him and said, "Is there anything wrong, your envoy? It's just unfortunate that there are some urgent matters to be dealt with at Zhaozhao's family. If it's urgent, please go inside and serve tea first."

Jin Chengdao forced a smile and said: "No need, it's nothing, nothing."

Goryeo was just a faggot. Once the Song Dynasty showed the idea of ​​abandoning it, the fear would make people feel cold all over.

Once the Song Dynasty abandoned them, the Liao people would be unscrupulous.

"How is Guoguo?"

As soon as Shen An arrived home, she went straight to Guoguo's room.

Guoguo's eyes were dull on the bed. When she saw Shen An coming, she tried her best to smile, but she looked very reluctant.

Huahua was lying beside the bed, and now she stood up, wagging her tail next to Shen An.

The doctor said from the side: "Wai Zhao, the little lady has caught a cold. She will be fine after taking a few medicines."

Shen An felt relieved after hearing this, so he went out to change his clothes, and then came in again.

"Mr. Lang, slave... I don't think much of the little lady."

Aunt Chen apologized in shame, and Shen An shook his head and said, "Guo Guo is lively, I can't blame you for this, but you have to be careful in the future."

Children should not be too restrictive, otherwise they will be more cautious when they grow up.

"elder brother……"

"Why!"

Shen An sat beside the bed, reached out and touched Guoguo's forehead, and said, "Do you dare to run barefoot next time?"

Guo Guo shook her head, with a smile in her eyes.

"naughty!"

Shen An tucked her in, then nodded to the doctor, and Aunt Chen took him out to make a prescription.

When the doctor arrived all the way to the front, Zhuang Laoshi and others were waiting with anxious expressions on their faces.

"How's it going?"

The doctor had never seen a young lady fall ill and all the servants in the family were anxious, so he smiled and said, "It's okay, I just caught a cold."

It is common for children to catch colds. The doctor then prescribed a prescription. Zhuang Laoshi was worried and went out to buy the medicine in person despite the heavy snow.

Aunt Chen was so happy that she saw her son, Governor Zhou, running wildly in the front yard with his face red and his nose running. She went over and slapped him in the face and shouted: "Let your father take care of you and go back quickly."

Yao Lian was building a snowman next to it. This was what Guoguo had been looking forward to for a long time, but now she couldn't come out, so she left it to Yao Lian.

"Leave the kids alone."

Yao Lian patted the snowdrift and said, "The governor is at this age when he is having fun. Back then, a certain person hid in the snowdrift and the whole family searched for him for a long time."

Aunt Chen turned around and asked, "What happened next?"

Yao Lian sniffed and said, "My butt is swollen from the beating."

"Deserve it!"

Aunt Chen returned to the backyard. As soon as she arrived outside Guoguo's bedroom, she heard Shen An's voice telling a story.

"...The ghost shouted loudly, 'What wish do you want?', and Cinderella was scared and said, 'I want to sleep.' This ghost has been trapped in a bottle for thousands of years. He is very lonely and wants to find someone. Talk to yourself..."

Guoguo listened with her eyes open.

Shen An whispered: "...Then the ghost said, 'Count the rabbits. I will let you sleep when you count a thousand rabbits.'" UU Reading www.uukanshu.net So Cinderella began to count the rabbits... Only, two..."

It gradually became quiet inside. After a while, Shen An came out and whispered: "Guoguo is asleep. Pay attention. If you get fever again, call me."

Mrs. Chen agreed in a low voice. After entering, she saw that Guoguo was sleeping peacefully and no longer woke up easily as before. She couldn't help but admire her secretly.

This brother takes care of his sister better than his parents, which shows that he is careful.

It’s just that the stories Lang Jun told were so weird, including Cinderella, ghosts, and counting rabbits.

Aunt Chen smiled, then sat on the edge of the bed doing needlework.

The snow outside is gradually getting thicker, and the sky is still white.

When Zhe Kexing came to Shen's house, the people and horses were all white.

"I don't go out much these days, I just stay at home."

The Shen family has Zhe Kexing's room, but he has a restless teenage temper and often has to go out and wander around.

Zhe Kexing responded with a smile, and then took a bunch of things from the horse and got off.

"what?"

"It's a pheasant."

Zhe Kexing dropped a bunch of pheasants on the ground, then jumped on the spot, and the snow on his body fell off one after another.

"Guoguo was sick. I heard they said pheasants are good for making soup, so I went out to the city to get some."

Zhe Kexing said it was easy, but Shen An knew that if he wanted to catch pheasants in this weather, he could only use a trap or a trap. But Zhe Kexing got so many, mostly with bows and arrows.

This guy must have stayed up all night last night, and maybe he spent the entire night hanging out in the wild.

Shen An asked someone to cook for him, and then went to the kitchen to make pheasant soup.

"Mr. Lang, we have guests."

Shen An told Zeng Ermei to be optimistic about the heat, then took off his apron and went to the front.

"You are at leisure."

The person who came was Chen Zhongheng.
