A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Shen An hadn't entered the palace for a long time, and walking in the palace gave him a strange feeling.

Those palaces are tall and solemn, resplendent, or elegant...

Chinese architectural art is probably most thoroughly reflected in the palace, and various superb skills will be displayed here for the first time.

Shen An watched all the way and suddenly felt that his mentality seemed to be good!

He thought about it carefully, and it was really like this.

In the past, he had no desire to take another look at these familiar buildings, he just looked at them as if they were dead objects.

But now it was different, he felt novel.

Novelty is the greatest pleasure for people, and Shen An realized this at this moment.

It was like entering the palace for the first time. He looked at everything in front of him curiously until he entered the palace.

"How about Li Liangzuo?"

Zhao Shu asked this in his first sentence. It can be seen that after becoming the emperor, he looks at things from a different perspective.

Shen An said: "Li Liangzuo is cunning. After our army's ambush was exhausted, he turned around and ran away with his men. I bet that most of the Xixia people surrounded by our army are his enemies."

"Kill someone with a borrowed knife?"

Zhao Shu nodded slightly and said: "This method cannot be said to be stupid, but it is not responsible. This person can be called a wolf, but he will never become a tiger."

Li Liangzuo's true nature was clearly revealed in that battle. He was as cunning and ferocious as a wild wolf, but he lacked the kingly demeanor.

Although Zhao Shu was not present at the scene, he was able to judge Li Liangzuo's character based only on Bao Zheng and Shen An's narrations. He had a sharp eye.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Zhao Shu continued to ask: "How strong are the Xixia people?"

Although Bao Zheng has said it, he is a civil servant. If Zhao Shu needs to understand Xixia's opponent, he needs to understand it from all angles.

"Very fierce!"

Shen An thought about it for a moment and said: "They are not afraid of death and have a strong will. They are not comparable to ordinary opponents."

Zhao Shu nodded and said approvingly: "Whether you are brave and unafraid of death or strong-willed, this victory over Xixia will make Li Liangzuo suffer such a blow. What will happen to him?"

"He will flirt with the Liao people."

It was Shen An who said this. Han Qi frowned and said, "Are you saying that the Xixia people will show their kindness to the Liao people?"

"Yes." Shen An had thought about these things on the way here. "With this defeat, Li Liangzuo was worried that the Song Dynasty would take advantage of the situation to attack, so he would definitely ease the relationship with the Liao people and balance the three again."

This is the current state of the three countries, and no one is willing to easily break this balance.

"Don't the Liao people want the Xixia people to die?"

Zeng Gongliang felt that Shen An's analysis was wrong: "If Xixia is destroyed by the Song Dynasty, and the Liao people happen to go to war with the Song Dynasty, there is no need to worry about the Xixia people being up to something behind."

Zhao Shu said: "But I'm afraid Yelu Hongji doesn't have this intention now."

"Please give me your Majesty's instructions."

"Let Zhang come for eight years."

Later Zhang Bian came, and Zhao Shu said, "Tell me about Yelu Hongji."

Zhang Baibian glanced at Shen An coldly and said, "Yelu Zhongyuan's side keeps moving, but Yelu Hongji seems to be silent."

"This is rebellion!"

Everyone could hear Zeng Gongliang's gloating, and Han Qi also smiled and said, "Is Yelu Hongji watching with cold eyes? I think he wants to be justified."

Zhao Shu nodded and said: "Yelu Zhongyuan was named the emperor's younger brother, so he should be the prince of the Liao Kingdom. But how could Yelu Zong really give the throne to him? In the end, it was given to his son Yelu Hongji. Yelu Zhongyuan's He has many soldiers and horses at his disposal. In order to coax him, Yelu Hongji made some kind of emperor uncle after he came to power... But now that Yelu Hongji's son can ride and shoot, what can this emperor uncle do?"

Han Qi said proudly: "This Emperor's uncle is just a trickster. Yelu Chongyuan has been stupid for most of his life, and now it's time to wake up."

Zhao Shu looked at Shen An and said, "The trap you set in Xiongzhou last time worked."

Last time, Shen An set up a trap in Xiongzhou to lure Liao spies to assassinate him, and then pretended to send a message, saying that all this was reported by Yelu Chongyuan so that he could be prepared.

"Since then, Yelu Hongji has been weakening the military power of the emperor's uncle, and now the time has come to take action."

Shen An thought about the current situation in the Liao Kingdom and couldn't help but praise: "If I could find a place to watch in the Liao Kingdom, drink wine and watch the excitement..."

"Promote narrowing!"

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "You have done a great job in this great victory. After much thought, I can only repay you with a title and salary... In this way, I can be the founding uncle of Guixin County and live in a town of 700 households."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shen An thanked him and was secretly happy.

Brother, have you converted to Uncle?

The ministers and ministers looked at him with some envy. Ouyang Xiu said: "Your Majesty, when I was as old as Shen An, I was still studying in my hometown and had not even entered the Imperial College. But Shen An has already converted to the Imperial College. This person is better than others." ...It makes me sigh and feel that I am extremely useless."

Old Ouyang's envy was very direct, but Han Qi's envy was full of regrets.

This victory over Xixia has nothing to do with him. When everyone mentions him, he will still say oh, and then say, is he the Han Xianggong who loves the defeat of Shuichuan?

Later, there was a banquet. During the banquet, everyone came to drink wine. Shen An declined politely and said: "You are either waiting for me or your minister, so why bother to take the official position and joke about it."

Zeng Gongliang said with a smile: "Our titles are all given to us when we reach the official position, and they are just vassals. But yours is different. From now on, when you go out and say that you are a convert, if others dare to look down upon you, you only need to say that you were granted the title because of your merits." , those people will be dumbfounded.”

So this is ah!

Shen An was so happy that he refused to accept anyone who came, and soon he was so impressed that he rolled his eyes.

"He is just about to return. If he hasn't gone home to have a look, please let him go."

In the end, it was Zhao Shu who stepped forward to stop the subsequent drinks, allowing Shen An to stand up and go out.

All the way to Yulin Alley, a few children were playing at the entrance of the alley. When they saw him coming back, they shouted: "Dai Zhao is back home! Dai Zhao is back home!"

Shen An was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "What does this mean? Tell the truth?"

He smiled and dismounted and walked in. He heard the sound of doors opening from various houses in the alley, and then the neighbors came out.

"Congratulations to Dai Zhao for being the uncle! Congratulations to Dai Zhao for his triumphant return!"

"Congratulations on the edict!"

"Wai Zhao, your Guoguo beat someone up!"

"I've seen the imperial edict!"

The neighbors were all happy to express their gratitude, except for one and a half-year-old child who was complaining aggrievedly. He was probably punished by Guoguo and others.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Shen An remembered the situation when his brother and sister first arrived here. At that time, they rented next door to their current residence. Shen An carried a load every day, with the pot sticker stall at one end and his sister at the other, going back and forth like this.

The neighborhood was not like this back then.

"Thank you all neighbors."

Shen An held his hand and smiled all the way in.

"Waiting for the imperial edict is incredible! At such a young age, he can actually lead an army to kill the enemy."

"The officials say that Tai Zhao is a famous general!"

"He is both a civil servant and a famous general. There is no such person in the Song Dynasty, right?"

"This is called having both civil and military capabilities. The whole Song Dynasty only needs one person."

"He is indeed Shen Bian's son!"

"Shen Bian..."

This long-lost name was mentioned again today, and subsequently became the envy of countless fathers.

"Although he left early, he taught a good son, and he will be able to leave his name in history in the future."

When Shen An walked to the door of his house, Zhuang Laoshi and his servants greeted him.

"Congratulations on your triumphant return!"

"good."

Shen An entered the house and the door was closed.

"Congratulations, officer."

"Congratulations brother!"

His wife and sister came out at this time. Shen An smiled and said, "I don't have to be like this, but... Guoguo, why are you so fat?"

Shen An was melancholy to find that her sister's face had become much rounder.

Guoguo's eyes turned, but they were staring at Chen Luo who was following behind.

Chen Luo was carrying many things in his hands. When Guo Guo looked over, he smiled and said, "There are a lot of things for the little lady."

"elder brother……"

Guoguo couldn't wait any longer.

Shen An nodded helplessly, and Guoguo cheered and ran over, and then started to look at her gift.

Yang Zhuoxue seemed to be fairer and tenderer, but there was a gloomy look between her eyebrows.

"I've been away from my husband for a long time. It's been a big thank you to you at home."

Although this wife is a bit out of tune from time to time, she is very reliable most of the time. The key is that she and Guoguo get along very well, which makes Shen An feel at ease when going out.

This does not mean that Yang Zhuoxue is regarded as a nanny, but that the family relies on each other.

"Officials work hard, but I live at home with Guoguo, so it's not that hard."

Shen An then went to take a shower, and when he came out, the family dinner had been arranged.

The dishes are very rich, almost all Shen An likes to eat.

Guoguo was obviously a little absent-minded, obviously thinking about those gifts.

This sister doesn’t rely on her brother much anymore!

This discovery made Shen An feel a little sad, probably because of the sense of loss that a father feels after seeing his children grow up.

"Guardian, are those Xixia people fierce?"

"fierce!"

Shen An said casually.

A scene appeared in Yang Zhuoxue's mind: Countless Xixia cavalry were rushing towards them, shouting wildly, and Shen An stood alone in front of the array, pulling out his long sword...

Cut, cut! Shen An kept slashing and killing...until the enemy soldiers screamed and fled as if they were seeing ghosts.

Guo Guo raised her head and said, "But my brother is even more fierce!"

Shen An said with a smile: "Yes, my brother is more fierce."

"The officials are great!"

Yang Zhuoxue said: "The neighbors said that even the Prime Minister of Han could not defeat the Xixia people, but Guan Ren defeated them. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net It can be seen that Guan Ren is the first general of the Song Dynasty! The first general... Guan Ren , will it be offered to you in the future?"

"Probably, but it's best not to."

Shen An felt that it was not good for him to be worshiped. It felt like his soul was left in the world, watching others live their lives every day, but he could only inhale some incense.

How can we live without leg of lamb?

Just after eating, someone came outside asking to see me.

"Mr. Lang, she said she was my cousin's aunt..."

Shen An's expression remained unchanged and he asked calmly: "What's going on?"

Yang Zhuoxue stood up and said, "I came here the day before yesterday. She said she was from my cousin's family and that I...had no children."

Instantly, Shen An's face became indifferent.

When Guo Guo saw her, she shouted: "Brother, our family has no relatives! No relatives!"
