A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

A little girl came to the prince's palace. It is said that the prince loved her very much.

This news instantly attracted the attention of those children, who then waited outside.

"Go, go, it's better for the children to play together."

Zhao Yunrang's mentality was now considered peaceful, so he kindly asked someone to take Guoguo out.

Several children were already waiting outside. When they saw a little girl with picturesque features, they immediately began to show off in various ways.

"I have nine links here!"

A boy proudly showed off his toys.

"I have a windmill here."

Another girl was holding a small revolving lantern and said with her head held high in an equally reserved manner: "What do you have?"

Children are always like this, consciously or unconsciously wanting to show off.

Guoguo was a little confused. She tilted her head slightly, then took out something like two leaves from her sleeve and said, "I have something made by my brother."

This thing is just a thin wooden stick with two 'leaves' on top. It looks very ordinary, no, it is very simple.

Several children looked proud, and when they were about to laugh, Guoguo held the thin wooden stick between his hands and rubbed it vigorously.

let go……

The bamboo dragonfly flew up, and several pampered children in the prince's palace couldn't help but exclaimed.

The servant next to him pursed his lips slightly, thinking that only ordinary children could play with this thing.

Guoguo started digging in her sleeves again, and several children were watching. If it hadn't been for a good tutor, they would have rushed over to snatch it away.

Guoguo took out a small wooden pig, and then twisted the clockwork on the side. The tendons inside began to stir, becoming more and more laborious.

"My brother did this too!"

Guoguo said proudly, then squatted down and put the wooden pig on the ground, letting go of his hand awkwardly.

The wooden pig immediately started to move and was able to move forward.

"Wow! Your brother is so awesome!"

Several children were immediately calmed down, and then everyone started playing together.

At the same time that Guoguo was accepted by these children, Tang Ren also met with the envoy at the Liao embassy.

"Increase the annual coins, or return the territory of Daliao."

The two envoys, one ferocious and the other gentle, forced the officials of the Song Dynasty to have no way out.

"otherwise……"

The envoy named Yelu Sichen said coldly: "Under the rule of Daliao, countless tribes have formed alliances and can form an army to go south at any time, but you... are vulnerable!"

Another envoy named Liu Shen smiled and said: "Liao and Song are countries of brothers, but in recent years, people from the Song Dynasty have always fled to Daliao to do evil. Daliao has suffered a lot!"

"Whether you give it or not is decided in one word."

"If you don't give it, go south to herd horses!"

This sound was like a reminder, and all the officials of the Song Dynasty present were panicked.

Tang Ren was no exception. His palms were all sweaty, but he held the note tightly.

"I have to go back and report this to His Majesty..."

This is a delaying tactic.

Yelu Sichen snorted coldly and shouted: "Deal with one word!"

This is forced!

Tang Ren looked around. Everyone looked sad and angry, but there was nothing they could do.

During the Qingli period, the Liao people took advantage of the fact that the Song Dynasty was disgraced by Xixia and immediately launched blackmail, and finally succeeded.

That is Chongxi’s coin increase!

Is it possible that Chongxi is increasing coins together again today?

Shame!

Tang Ren remembered the contents of the note and gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, the Song Dynasty will immediately form an alliance with Xixia."

As soon as he finished speaking, he softened and felt that he was dead this time.

The scene was completely silent, and the officials of the Song Dynasty felt that Tang Ren was seeking death.

Xixia was rebellious to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty was so beaten by the rebellion that it almost couldn't take care of itself... and they were 'rewarded' with many things every year. Can such rebellious people form an alliance?

Are you dizzy?

Moreover, how can the Liao people be afraid of this? If they really want to go south, they will definitely fall out immediately.

So a group of people waited in silence for the Liao envoy to fall out.

Yelu Sichen was about to get angry, but Liu Shen waved his hand, and then said solemnly: "The relationship between the two countries cannot be joked, but have you thought about it? If you have thought about it, we will leave immediately, and everyone will talk with swords and guns later!"

Tang Ren only felt that his vest was covered with sweat. He tried his best to suppress his fear and raised his head and said: "Of course I have thought about it. If your country insists on going its own way, the money, food, swords and guns of the Song Dynasty will be delivered to the hands of the Xixia people in an instant. The Song Dynasty With the money, swords and guns, and the brave men of the Xixia people, what do you think of your country?"

Liu Shen's eyes were sharp, but Tang Ren had a serious face. He felt that he was dead, but he couldn't be embarrassed before he died.

"Packing up, tidy up."

Liu Shen ordered, and then there was a noise outside.

Tang Ren was still silent, calculating how much private money he had hidden and whether it would be enough for his wife and children to live after he was exiled.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Shen snorted coldly and turned around to go out.

Yelu Sichen clenched his fists and wanted to get angry, but in the end he stomped his feet angrily and followed in a hurry.

A Song official said nervously: "They are leaving..."

What?

Tang Ren almost collapsed.

At this time, an ecstatic voice came from outside: "They have returned to their room!"

Everyone left the room, and when they saw what was happening, they immediately looked at Tang Ren uneasily.

"Mr. Tang, you are a great talent!"

Pairs of admiring eyes looked at Tang Ren, but his right hand held the note tightly.

He walked out of the embassy mechanically, and then broke out in a cold sweat.

The Liao envoy is at peace!

The news immediately spread to the ears of those important ministers.

A group of people were inexplicably surprised, wondering why the Liao people were so weak?

Later Tang Ren entered the palace all the way.

"... Threatening the Liao people by forming an alliance with the Xixia people. Your Majesty, this is Shen Tai's idea. I just followed it and did not dare to take credit."

Zhao Zhen was shocked in his heart and opened his mouth to say: "Let Shen An resume... That's all. Since I allowed him to rest, it's just... hey!"

What a great talent!

But how can such a great talent be so loyal!

He actually gave up his position as a close minister for a clan member, otherwise...

Zhao Zhen was depressed, UU reading wwｗ.uukanｈhu.netｔ but it was hard to regret it.

Since Shen An didn't take the credit, Tang Ren took advantage of him. Zhao Zhen praised him kindly, and it was natural that he would be promoted and make a fortune in the future.

After Tang Ren left the palace, he went directly to the Shen family.

After arriving at Shen's house, Shen An happened to be taking a lunch break.

In the hot summer, Shen An felt very comfortable doing nothing.

He picked up a pot of cold tea beside him and took a sip, then felt very comfortable.

Seeing Tang Ren come in, Shen An bowed slightly and said, "I'm not feeling well, so I'm not far away..."

His words were interrupted by Tang Ren's bow.

This is not an ordinary bow, but one that reaches the ground.

Shen An was stunned, Tang Ren raised his head and said with tears in his face: "If Shen Waiting for the imperial edict had not been carried out today, I would have died without a burial place. From today on, my life, Tang Ren, will be Shen waiting for the imperial edict. Waiting for the imperial edict to explain, in the wind or rain, even if the sword and gun are in front of me, if I, Tang Ren, shrink back, God will hate me!"

Shen An was a little confused, but he just said humbly: "Is this because of the heat?"

Tang Ren sniffed, feeling a little choked.

"Today I faced off with the Liao envoy and was forced into a corner. If it weren't for Shen Daizhao's tips, I would be in danger today!"

What?

After a brief analysis, Shen An came up with a rough idea. He said calmly, "It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."

"Shen Daizhao, a great talent, is so indifferent to fame and fortune. I'm ashamed."

Tang Ren almost paid homage to Shen An. Fortunately, Shen An was quick, otherwise he would have had multiple disciples today.

But he still had some doubts, so he asked: "I dare to ask Shen Daizhao, how can he succeed in threatening the Liao people by forming an alliance with the Xixia people?"
