A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Li Bai was from the royal family, but Chen Yongshun was Li Rizun's useful servant.

In many cases, the royal family is just an egg, and no one thinks highly of you.

For example, if the royal family of the Song Dynasty had not been concerned about public opinion, Zhao Zhen would have wanted to slap some of his cousins ​​to death.

The same was true for Jiaozhi, so Li Bai knew that his status was embarrassing and never dared to sneer.

He didn't dare, but Chen Yongshun did.

Shen An ignored people as soon as he came in, which made Chen Yongshun very dissatisfied.

But he knew that he was sitting too much, so he stood up and said with a smile: "A certain Chen Yongshun..."

"Why did Li Rizun send you here? Do you want to make friends? That's a good thing. Later, someone handed over the documents to the palace. From then on, the Song Dynasty and Jiaozhi had a brotherly relationship, regardless of each other."

Shen An patted Li Bai on the shoulder and said with a smile: "As an envoy, you fought hard for Jiaozhi in Bianliang. His Majesty was quite troubled by you. He also asked the officials in the ceremonial room to learn more from you..."

This statement proves Li Bai's merit, and it also involves Zhao Zhen, which can be said to be full of real gold.

But the smile on the side of the messenger Chen Yongshun froze.

I am the messenger, but you praise Li Bai all the time. What does this mean?

Damn it!

This is too bullying!

Li Bai had a headache and pointed at Chen Yongshun and said: "Wai Zhao, this is the envoy...Chen Yongshun is His Majesty's chamberlain."

Shen An frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

Chen Yongshun got the chance to show off and said with a straight face: "Your Majesty said that Jiaozhi and Song Dynasty are very close brothers. After the last misunderstanding, Your Majesty has cleaned up those rebellious people and brought their heads."

Shen An nodded and ordered: "Ask someone to receive it."

Someone outside answered, and Shen An asked, "What else can I do?"

This actually smells a little impatient.

Chen Yongshun said angrily: "Is this how the people of Song Dynasty received me? Where is the etiquette?"

Shen An looked at him slowly, with a flash of disdain in his eyes: "Etiquette? Jiaozhi did something scandalous in the front and arrogant in the back. What more etiquette do you want? When someone came in, you, an envoy, dared to sit still, Which family’s etiquette is this?”

Chen Yongshun's face turned red, "Why didn't you inform me before you came in?"

"Just you?"

Shen An pointed at Chen Yongshun and said with a very disdainful attitude: "When Shen was in the southwest, he encountered an ambush from Jiaozhi. Those people looked fierce, but they were vulnerable."

Chen Yongshun turned pale, knowing that he had misjudged Shen An's character.

As an envoy, he was prepared to test the Song people's bottom line and attitude first, which was correct. But the mistake was that he didn't trust Li Bai.

After seeing the goods Li Bai brought, Chen Yongshun felt that this person had been bribed by the Song people and could not believe a word he said.

So he dared to test it out, but he hit a wall.

Shen An nodded slightly to Li Bai, then frowned and said: "Li Rizun was crowned Mohou, which caused the people around him to not know etiquette and talk about the country of brothers. Just Jiaozhi... is worthy of it?!"

After Shen An finished speaking, he left the room, leaving the dull Jiaozhi man behind.

"It's too much, it's too much..."

Chen Yongshun's anger gradually rose, and he said angrily: "Is this Shen An? The Emperor of Song Dynasty would actually trust such a person?"

Li Bai smiled bitterly and said, "He is different from other civil servants. You wanted to test him, but you found the wrong person."

Others would probably frown, but not think too much about it.

But Shen An took the opportunity to cause trouble and directly ruined the atmosphere.

When Li Bai saw him sneering, he said, "This matter has nothing to do with me. You can negotiate it yourself."

His mission has been completed and he doesn't want to get involved in the rest.

And he knew that the country in Jiaozhi coveted the Song Dynasty. If there was a chance, the country would not hesitate to start a war and sweep the southwest of the Song Dynasty.

And then...the Great Cochin Empire was formed.

…

After Shen An left here, he went to the palace to ask for an audience.

"The Jiaozhi people continued to invade Champa and frequently caused trouble in the southwest of the Song Dynasty. They were trying to build a great country."

"How big of an appetite do they have?"

Han Qi felt that Shen An might have overestimated the appetite of the Jiaozhi people.

Shen An said seriously: "Don't underestimate the Cochin people. Their ambitions are never small. Champa is an example."

Zhao Zhen pondered for a moment, "This Chen Yongshun is the person close to Li Rizun. What do you think after seeing him?"

This is a question that tests your vision. If you answer it correctly, you will get extra points. If you answer it incorrectly, you will be incompetent.

Shen An thought for a while and said: "This person seems arrogant, but in fact he is testing, which is consistent with Jiaozhi's external attitude."

He looked up at Zhao Zhen, "Jiaozhi is probably a smaller wild wolf. Facing the giant Song Dynasty, they will first bar their teeth and then roar. If ignored, they will press forward step by step and try to tear them apart." Take a bite.”

This was the actual situation in Jiaozhi. From then on, they acted in this style until they were slapped in the face and their faces were swollen, and then they calmed down.

Zhao Zhen stared at Shen An and said in a deep voice: "You can't criticize yourself on this matter..."

This is still the intention of harmony, so that Shen An will not intensify the conflict.

Shen An smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I bet that the Jiaozhi people are definitely preparing their troops at this moment, and then they will use the city as a whetstone, waiting for the right time to march northward."

Seeing that both the emperor and his ministers did not believe it, Shen An said: "Your Majesty, please wait and see."

"good."

Although he didn't believe that the people of Jiaozhi had such a big appetite, Zhao Zhen still said with approval: "The envoy was suppressed by you as soon as he arrived, which is good. Let the ceremonial room handle the follow-up matters."

Shen An was happy, knowing that the Song Dynasty had at least increased its vigilance against Jiaozhi, which could be regarded as his intervention in history.

"Your Majesty, I would like to see Mr. Xiao Lang."

Shen An's request made Zhao Zhen stroke his beard and smile, "You were good friends before, but we rarely saw each other after Zhong Zhen entered the palace, so go ahead."

Shen An was taken to wait outside Qingning Palace.

Later Zhao Zhongzhen came out and said happily when he saw him: "But is there something going on outside?"

Shen An took out a letter and said, "This is the letter Zizhan wrote to you after he learned the news. It should be a congratulatory letter."

The former friend suddenly turned into the future prince. This was an unexpected surprise for Su Shi.

When my friend becomes the emperor, won't my brother's worth double?

Everyone has ambitions and longings. If everything goes smoothly on the way forward, it will be a happy event in life.

Zhao Zhen handed the letter to the person next to him, and Shen An noticed that the servant named Qiao Er next to him was a little unnatural.

"Who is this……"

When Qiao Er saw him asking, he smiled and said, "Little Qiao Er is the servant who serves the young master."

"Hard."

"I dare not say it was hard."

The serious look on Qiao Er's face was not a bonus in Shen An's eyes.

He pointed to the edge and went over with Zhao Zhongzhen.

Qiao Er wanted to follow, but Shen An said slowly: "We have something private to say."

These words immediately made Qiao Er unable to leave the stage. He stood there sullenly, listening to someone behind him sneer.

There is also competition around Zhao Zhongzhen. Qiao Er feels that it will be a long time waiting for Zhao Zhongzhen to take over, so he wants to find other ways, but others are different and just want to push him down.

"This person looks upright and is probably a villain."

Shen An had a lot of experience in his previous life. Basically, you can tell the general character of a person by meeting him a few times.

Zhao Zhongzhen said with a smile: "I drugged him last time and made him lose face."

Shen An frowned and said: "Don't do this... When you become the prince... can you still drug me? Once exposed, will you still have the face to see others? There are many methods, and drugging is the worst."

Zhao Zhong responded and said, "How about the Jiaozhi people?"

"A smaller wolf."

Zhao Zhongzhen understood, "I heard earlier that Xixia requested to reopen the market, and the officials will probably refuse."

"If you refuse, life will be very difficult for Xixia people."

Shen An felt that this matter might not end well, so he whispered: "Xixia will not let it go, so... if there is a test, just say that Li Liangzuo will fall out."

Zhao Zhongzhen said with a smile: "I have said this a long time ago, but the officials have always regarded Xixia as rebellious, and giving Sui coins is even more shameful and humiliating. If we open up the discussion again, I can't bear it, so I refused."

Is this the reason?

Shen An always thought that the Song Dynasty's ban on discussion was to restrict the development of the Xixia people, but he did not expect that it was for this purpose.

Xixia is located in the northwest and cannot be self-sufficient in various materials. People only need food, clothing, housing and transportation to survive. Without their business, they don’t even have cloth.

That's why Xixia was so aggressive, either with the Fan people or with the Song Dynasty. In a word, you are either fighting or on the way to fight.

"Is Guoguo good?"

Zhao Zhongzhen asked suddenly, and alarm bells rang in Shen An's heart.

He glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen calmly and said, "Not very good, very out of touch."

Don't think about my sister, otherwise I will deal with you.

Zhao Zhongzhen said, "There are some gadgets in the palace. Qianyu and the others remembered that Guoguo didn't have them, so they prepared some. You can take them back later."

It’s not just about thinking.

Shen An left the palace with a box. When he returned home, Guoguo was squatting at the door of the kitchen.

She leaned against the door and looked in. Huahua beside her also sniffed and shook her head. It was obvious that she was cooking delicious food inside.

Shen An smiled and carried the box to the backyard.

Yang Zhuoxue was taking a nap at her desk, and her black hair fell on the desk. Shen An went over and took a look and found that he was making clothes.

The clothes are bright yellow and seem to be made for Guoguo.

Shen An quietly went out and closed the door, then went to the study.

"Stones mark it!"

He had stopped writing for a long time, and Yang Zhuoxue often asked about it. In the end, she became frustrated and just pretended that he didn't write anymore.

At least give it a try.

Shen An slowly recalled the plot, UU reading www.uukanshu. net and then increase or decrease...

"Mr. Lang, someone has come forward to remonstrate with us, saying that we should reopen the negotiations with the Xixia people."

Shen An continued to write furiously, "Go and find out."

Before I finished writing this chapter, Chen Luo came back again.

"It is said that if we don't open the market, Xixia will lose a lot of things and will definitely come to harass the Song Dynasty. Opening the market will be good for the Song Dynasty, and the Xixia people will also stop their ambitions. This is a thing that benefits both sides..."

"The officials and prime ministers will not agree."

Shen An shook his head, feeling that this was a dead end.

"What happened next?"

Shen An put down his pen, stood up and said, "I don't even know if I ask you."

Chen Luo scratched his head and said, "Lang Jun, I'm afraid only the ministers and ministers will know about this matter."

"I'm going to ask Zhang Ba8en."
