A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The monarchs and ministers in the court were no longer interested in discussing matters, and were just chatting indifferently.

Everyone was waiting for the news, some absentmindedly.

There was a sound of rapid footsteps, and then a chamberlain arrived.

"How's it going?"

The Liao people and the Xixia people were the two wolves around the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Zhen was most concerned about the movements of these two wolves.

The chamberlain took a breath and said, "Your Majesty, the envoys of the two countries have gone back."

There was a burst of sighing in the hall, whether it was joy or regret.

"It was Shen Daizhao who stopped them."

When Zhao Zhen heard this, he said happily: "I asked him to take care of this. It turns out that he is using the right person, good!"

I am indeed very discerning!

Zhao Zhen looked at the prime ministers and assistants with a smile.

You always said that Shen An was too young to be entrusted with such an important task, but what is this now?

The enemies of the Liao Kingdom and the Xixia people met and were about to fight each other. Who was going to stop them?

There are many joys of being an emperor, and discovering talents that others have overlooked is one of the most satisfying.

Emperor Long Yan was overjoyed, and Fu Bi and others naturally bowed to congratulate him.

It's just that in their hearts they will inevitably compare themselves with Shen An when they first entered the officialdom.

It's okay not to compare, but when compared, everyone feels sad.

The ministers bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes. Zhao Zhen was in a good mood and asked casually: "How did Shen An persuade them to go back?"

Advise to go back? It’s nothing, Your Majesty!

The chamberlain hesitated and said, "Shen Daizhao led the cavalry to force them back."

Um?

The king and his ministers were all stunned.

Zhao Zhen's joy immediately turned into anger. He patted his side and said, "This... this young man is so angry that I am so angry..."

Fu Bi and others quickly comforted him, but they were also frightened.

Shen An's move was too reckless!

What will happen if a fight breaks out?

"That boy... is really young and brave!" Zhao Zhen was a little scared. If there was a fight at that time, the matter would be impossible to deal with.

The chamberlain continued: "Shen Daizhao was in a hurry to go home, so he said... He said that forming an alliance with Xixia was just the worst plan. And if the Liao people really go to war with the Xixia people, who will win will be the first thing after that. Just clean up the Song Dynasty."

From a tactical point of view, the Song Dynasty was eager for a war between the Liao and Xixia. But from a strategic perspective, the Song Dynasty was worried about the emergence of a winner between the two countries.

Regardless of whether it is the Liao Kingdom or the Xixia people, once they win, just like the Jin Kingdom in the future, they will first attack the Song Dynasty.

And those elite soldiers who have been tempered by wars, can the Song Dynasty be able to stop them?

Therefore, Shen An's words are telling these monarchs and ministers: Alliance with the alien races on the grassland is a stupid thing, and it is beyond stupid.

This was a judgment that was confirmed later, but the current monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty felt that Shen An was a bit unfounded.

Zhao Zhen patted his thigh and said, "Just solve it."

He felt that if he had this mixture of joy and anger a few more times, he would really not be able to survive this day.

…

Jin Chengdao hid inside the door of the Liao embassy and witnessed the entire conflict.

After Yelu Hongzhong came back, he didn't care about him. He just summoned several leaders of the mission to discuss the matter.

After leaving the embassy, ​​Jin Chengdao looked at the snowflakes in the sky and suddenly felt that he had nowhere to go.

He walked blankly in the snow, and the entourage behind him whispered: "Then Shen An is now in charge of the fourth room of the Privy Council and holds real power in his hands. Just now he dared to directly intimidate the Liao and Xixia people, which shows that he is tough, we... …”

I'm afraid there's something wrong with our attitude!

Coming to meet the Liao people was a compromise, but in the eyes of the Song people, this was a derogatory move.

"Go buy some gifts and let's go visit them."

But when he arrived at Shen's house, he was rejected.

"My husband is busy and won't see any guests."

After Zhuang Laoshi found out that this person was the Korean envoy, he still arrogantly issued an order to expel the guest.

These Song people, even a servant dared to look at me!

This is too much!

Jin Chengdao couldn't bear it, so he said coldly: "A certain person is an envoy from Korea. Even if he goes outside the palace to ask for an audience, he must be received by an official. The Shen family has such a big rule!"

Zhuang Laoshi held the door with his left hand, his left leg trembling slightly, and he suppressed the irritation in his heart and said: "The rules of the Shen family are not big, but my little lady wants to listen to the husband telling stories, I can't help it."

It was okay that he didn't tell the reason. Once he did, Jin Chengdao was so angry that he trembled all over.

The deputy minister of the Privy Council accepted the decree, and the powerful man in charge of the fourth house actually turned away foreign envoys for the sake of a little lady...

Are there any bullies like you?

He forgot how aggressively he had gone to the Privy Council.

He forgot his move to go to the Liao embassy to increase pressure on the Song Dynasty.

At this moment, he was possessed by Dou E...

"This is contempt for Goryeo. This will damage the relationship between Song Dynasty and Goryeo. Shen Daizhao, you are still young, don't make a mistake..."

"Woooo..."

Huahua slowly came out of the backyard and stared at this side.

Its mouth opened, then its ears stood up, and its back suddenly bent...

"dog!"

Boom!

The door slammed shut, almost hitting Jin Chengdao's nose.

He took a step back, not knowing whether to be grateful or angry.

If Zhuang Laoshi had not closed the door just now, the dog would definitely pounce out.

That dog is just like Shen An, a mad dog!

He waited outside the door, but there was no movement inside.

This is troublesome!

He wanted to go up and knock on the door again to wake Shen An out, and then ask him what he meant.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Zhongzhen felt that the man looked sneaky, so he held the short knife.

Jin Chengdao turned his head and saw that it was a half-grown child, so he glared and said, "Stay away!"

He brought two followers, while Zhao Zhongzhen only brought Yang Mo. He happened to be very angry, so Zhao Zhongzhen became the target of venting his anger.

Yang Mo immediately became angry and was about to take action when Zhao Zhongzhen asked: "Goryeo?"

Jin Chengdao felt a chill in his heart, and then asked vaguely: "Which family do you have a child from?"

He could tell at a glance that he was a Korean child, so his background would not be simple, so he said it in a perfunctory way and hurried away.

Zhao Zhongzhen knocked on the door and asked about Jin Chengdao.

Zhuang Laoshi said proudly: "It's the Korean envoy. Lang Jun said that Korean people are dogs, and they have to be beaten to feel comfortable before they become honest, so they can't give him a good face."

Zhao Zhongzhen went to the backyard thoughtfully.

Shen An happened to tell Guoguo a story when he woke up. When he saw him coming, he asked: "How is the health of the prince?"

The elderly are most afraid of winter. Zhao Yunrang's body seems to be in good condition, but the medical conditions in this era are like this. A cold will disappear immediately.

"Weng Weng is in good health. He was still cursing people in the morning, saying that the weather was cold, and asked the cook to make hot pot in the evening. If it's not as delicious as yours, I'll chop it into slices and eat it."

Lao Zhao's vitality made Shen An envious, and Shen An felt relieved when he heard that he was fine.

The two of them arrived at the study, but there was no charcoal pot for burning, and they were shivering from the cold.

"Come out for a walk."

The dilemma of using charcoal for heating made Shen An particularly miss the days of electric heaters.

The two of them shivered outside for a while, waiting for the charcoal basin in the study to be burned before going in.

As soon as he sat down, Zhao Zhongzhen asked curiously: "Brother Anbei, did the Korean envoy offend you?"

"Am I one of those people who wastes his private life on public affairs?"

You are!

Zhao Zhongzhen's eyes were full of suspicion, UU Reading www.uukanshu． ｎnet "If you were not going to compromise private matters for business purposes, you should have let him in just now."

Shen An smiled slightly, and Zhao Zhongzhen immediately jumped up, then stared at him warily and said, "I didn't make any mistakes."

"I won't hit you!"

Shen An also felt that he was too old, so he rubbed his itchy hands regretfully and said, "Korea people have weird temperaments. The more cordial and enthusiastic you are to them, the more proud and domineering they will be. If you are cold-eyed towards them, it will be very difficult for them to do so." Let them suffer a few losses, and they will become more obedient. This is called..."

Zhao Zhongzhen shook his head and said: "The Koreans are following the Liao people on one side and the Song Dynasty on the other. They are shameless."

This baby has grown so much!

Shen An looked at him with great relief and said, "Be generous and upright, and don't be shameless."

You are the future king, representing the image of the Song Dynasty. You must be upright and do things with dignity.

Zhao Zhongzhen nodded and said: "Who did you talk about last time... I think the Koreans are just like him, they are both bitches! The next time an envoy like this comes to the palace for a banquet, he will have someone add laxatives to his dishes. Then let him..."

"Ouch! You hit me again!"
