It was still very hot in Jiaozhi in early autumn, and everyone wished they could walk around naked, but Li Changjie stood outside the palace gate wearing a helmet.

He was a general of Jiaozhi. He ruthlessly castrated himself a few years ago, so he cleared the last obstacle and reached the pinnacle of his life.

After breaking away from the Central Plains, Jiaozhi's city head changed into a royal flag, and loyalty became a precious quality.

If you castrate yourself, you will naturally gain the king's trust.

Li Changjie was so cruel to himself that he would cut him off in order to gain a future. The same was true for his younger brother. As a result, the Li family gradually became famous and became a prominent figure.

When those people saw that the Li family was so prosperous, they would inevitably follow suit, so many families cruelly castrated their children and prepared to send them to the palace to try their luck.

Li Changjie felt some eyes on him. He turned his head and saw more than ten men looking at him timidly in the shadow on the right side of the palace gate.

The sergeant guarding the palace gate smiled and said: "Taobao, those are the ones who have castrated themselves and want to enter the palace to ask for something to do."

Li Changjie's eyes became more hazy.

The eunuch gave him power and trust, but it also made him feel inferior.

When he dreams back at midnight, he will unconsciously reach out and rub his lower body, and then regret will emerge.

How to choose between the symbols of power and men?

Li Changjie was also very conflicted, but in the end he felt that rights were more important.

A chamberlain came out, bowed and said: "Taobao, Your Majesty, please come in."

Li Changjie glanced to the right again.

The men who castrated themselves burst into laughter, and some even stood up and handed over their hands. It was clear that they were ready for the call and willing to serve Li Changjie.

What's this?

Li Changjie followed the chamberlain into the palace, looked at the palaces, and suddenly laughed.

This is the benefit that rights bring. How can I give it up?

Li Changjie's waist gradually straightened.

After seeing Li Rizun, Li Changjie found that the emperor's face was a little solemn.

"The Song people defeated the Xixia people, and the Liao people seemed to have suffered a loss..."

Li Rizun's beard is very black and bright. But his expression was solemn and his voice was low.

"The news came too late. If I had known that the Song people had defeated the Xixia people, then the last ambush..."

Li Rizun raised his head, his eyes were deep, like a bottomless well.

"We should have sent more people from the beginning, and we should have sent the most elite troops to defeat the Song people in one fell swoop. Only in this way could the outcome be decided in one battle."

Several civil servants moved their bodies uneasily, as if there were lice crawling in their official uniforms.

Li Changjie glanced at them and frowned disdainfully: "Your Majesty, I have already investigated the situation that day. The leader of the Song Dynasty was Prime Minister Zeng Gongliang, but he was not in charge of the battle, but a small Hanlin waiter. Edict."

"Hanlin awaits an edict?"

Li Rizun smiled, "Don't the Song people have any generals? They actually let a Hanlin Daizhao command the army in battle, or is this Hanlin Daizhao a favorite of the Song Emperor? Other than that, I can't imagine how Zeng Gongliang could Command was surrendered.”

A civil servant smiled and said: "Exactly. If I lead a large army to go to war, let alone the Imperial Academy waiting for an edict, others can't even think about pointing fingers."

There was something in this man's words. Li Changjie sneered in his heart and said: "The man's name is Shen An, and he is a young official who has recently appeared in the Song Dynasty. He has excellent poetry and has made great achievements in both civil and martial arts. He has won the trust of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty... "

"Excellent poetry?"

The civil servant said coldly: "Apart from Su Shi, who else in the Song Dynasty has produced outstanding poetry recently? But are they Ouyang Xiu's disciples?"

The title of leader of the literary circle made Ouyang Xiu famous at home and abroad, and even the people of Cochin admired him.

Li Changjie shook his head and said: "What kind of Mangshan lineage..."

"fraud!"

The civil servant held up his hands without asking the reason and said: "Your Majesty, I happen to know something, otherwise Your Majesty will be deceived. Mang Mountain is in Luoyang, and it has been a tomb mountain for thousands of years. What is the line of Mang Mountain, the line of the dead?" "

Li Changjie said contemptuously: "Looking at the door and staying, thinking about Zhang Jian, enduring death for a moment to wait for Du Gen, I am smiling to the sky with my sword across my body, leaving my liver and gallbladder in Kunlun, how about this poem?"

The civil servants all nodded, "This poem is extraordinary and heroic."

Li Changjie recited again: "Through the ages...I think back in those days, when we were fierce and powerful, we could swallow thousands of miles like a tiger...Lian Po is old, can he still make a living? How about this poem?"

Everyone was surprised.

"Are you so heroic and majestic?"

"Good words! Since Liu Yong, there have been few poets in the Song Dynasty. As soon as this word came out, the rest were overshadowed."

"..."

Li Rizun tasted this poem carefully and said, "It is indeed heroic. I tasted it carefully and found it endlessly memorable. Who wrote it?"

Several civil servants also looked at Li Rizun with interest.

Li Rizun said coldly: "That's Shen An."

grass!

The civil servant was slapped in the face. The previous belittling of Shen An came back at this moment. He was slapped with a poem and his face was so painful.

"His father is a staunch Northern Expeditionist."

Shen An's position was explained in one sentence.

"The poetry is so heroic, I am also impressed by it!" Li Rizun pursed his lips slightly, then touched his beard and said calmly: "A son inherits his father's legacy, no wonder this person dares to charge into the battle."

Li Changjie said: "The Song people captured many people in that battle, and now those people are building roads on Guangnan West Road. Your Majesty, after the Song people's roads are clear, it will be much faster to mobilize troops everywhere... We will think about it later It would be troublesome to go.”

Li Rizun nodded, "Song people are domineering and should be punished..."

"His Majesty!"

A civil servant said, "Your Majesty, the people of Song Dynasty currently have no foreign troubles!"

"The Xixia people have been replaced by Li Liangzuo, who is young and incompetent. And the Liao people have become much kinder recently, so the Song people will be able to deal with us with all their strength... Should we wait for another chance?"

Li Rizun sighed: "Yes! I wanted to immediately mobilize the army to pick up the bones of those warriors, but... the current situation is like this, so I have no choice."

Li Changjie bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I know your compassion, and the families of those fallen soldiers should also be considerate."

Later, Li Rizun's words will be spread out, and there will naturally be artificial public opinion, saying that he is so heroic and heroic, and he only tolerates it temporarily for the sake of Jiaozhi's future.

Li Rizun looked slightly cold and said: "The Song people are rude, and Jiaozhi will retaliate sooner or later. This time I sent an envoy. This is to be polite first and then to attack. If the Song Emperor is stubborn, the army will move north in an instant, turning the south of the Song people into ruins!" "

If people hundreds of years later come to appreciate this period of history, they will probably think that the people of Cochin do not know the heights of the world and are really frogs in the well.

But just over ten years later, the Jiaozhi people bravely marched northward and conquered the city without victory. Li Changjie led his army to massacre the city, and the southwest of the Song Dynasty was dyed red with blood...

Li Changjie thought of the prosperity of Yongzhou and other places, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

After losing his job, he felt that he had changed and became more passionate about power and killing.

So what if something happens to you guys? Why don't you want to be the dead soul under my sword?

"Your Majesty, it's time for Jiaozhi to prepare its troops and wait for the opportunity."

Li Rizun said appreciatively: "Waiting for the envoys to deal with this time, if we can paralyze the Song people and make them neglect their defenses in Yongzhou and other places, then this will be our opportunity!"

He stood up and walked outside the hall, looking at the scorching sun, he couldn't help but feel a relief in his chest.

"What... Shen An?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"How about next time?"

He turned around and looked at Li Changjie, his eyes as hot as the sunshine outside: "Maybe next time I'll avenge you? Bring him."

Li Changjie bowed and said, "That's definitely the case."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Li Rizun laughed, and there was gradually more hatred in his laughter.

"How dare you use the corpses of Jiaozhi warriors to pile up a mountain of corpses. This person should be my number one enemy. I hope he will still go south next time. So I... It seems that I have many servants around me, but I am not so understanding. If I bring him into the palace to serve me, I think it will become a good story a thousand years later and his reputation will last forever, hahahaha..."

Li Changjie and others bowed.

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Bai felt that his luck was really bad.

He purchased a lot of goods in Bianliang and planned to take them all the way back to Jiaozhi to sell them and make a fortune.

This kind of thing happened frequently, especially among the Korean envoys. Every time they came to Bianliang, it was a business carnival, so much so that the officials in the ceremony room said that they were not envoys, but businessmen.

Li Bai also prepared to become a businessman, but he was intercepted by a new envoy from Jiaozhi on the way and asked him to follow him back to Bianliang.

Damn it!

At that time, Li Bai really wanted to chop the messenger into pieces and feed him to the dogs.

The goods were all abandoned in the middle of the road, and Li Bai was now worried that they would be damaged or be swept away by the people who were left behind.

The new envoy is called Chen Yongshun, and he is fair and tender, which is rare among Cochin people.

"Eggless thing!"

Sitting in the reception room of the Privy Council, Li Bai cursed secretly.

Chen Yongshun was Li Rizun's chamberlain and was well-known in Jiaozhi. This time on his mission to the Song Dynasty, he was freed from the prison for a long time. He enjoyed the scenery of the northern country and felt a little happy about it.

But now in the Privy Council, he was left alone for a long time without anyone receiving him.

Chen Yongshun looked solemn and asked in a low voice: "What does Song people mean by this?"

How the hell did I know?

Li Bai wanted to get angry, but he didn't dare to offend the servant. "They don't know our attitude, so they need to discuss it."

This is the best result, but Li Bai doesn't know if Shen An is involved.

If Shen An gets involved, this matter will be in trouble.

Chen Yongshun said with a cold face: "You said that Shen An can interfere in foreign affairs, but what about others? Why don't you come to greet me?"

welcome you?

Li Bai looked at this face and really wanted to punch it.

"That man has a bad temper..."

Chen Yongshun sneered: "He is a messenger, how dare he take action?"

Li Bai smiled bitterly and said: "This person is the toughest among the Song people and should not be ignored."

He didn't want to say this at first, but he was worried that Chen Yongshun would be arrogant and cause trouble, so he tried to persuade him.

Chen Yongshun said calmly: "We will wait and see."

At this time, an official came outside. UUReadingwww.uukanshu.net He turned sideways as if to greet someone. Li Bai stood up and said, "I guess he's here."

Chen Yongshun remained motionless.

"Your Majesty, you have just left and come back again. Is there something wrong?"

Shen An smiled very kindly, but didn't even look at Chen Yongshun who was sitting there.

Sitting still, this level of irritation was of no use to him.

Li Baigan smiled and said: "Let me introduce..."

Shen An waved his hand and said, "No one is free, let's talk if you have something to say."

This is business.

Li Bai couldn't help but feel his heart twisting when he thought of the 'friendship' he had established with Shen An.

Can I still purchase goods from Da Song and sell them back to Jiaozhi in the future?
