A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Shen An stood up suddenly, and the officials in the ceremony room also stood up one after another, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.

"Your Majesty, Foreign Minister... this matter... Foreign Minister needs to think about it."

The envoy was stunned by Shen An's series of attacks, but he knew that he could not let Shen An leave, otherwise his trip would be in vain.

Shen An sneered and said, "What kind of messenger is this? Do you have to wait for you to send someone to Zhancheng for questioning? That's all. Go back and ask for the truth before coming back."

After saying that, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

He was alone in front, and the officials in the ceremonial room followed behind, with an imposing manner.

As a converted prince of the Song Dynasty, after he left this room, the Song Dynasty would not send anyone to negotiate again even for the sake of face.

"This is appropriate, extremely appropriate!"

After the messenger said this, he sat down and felt that in that moment, he had experienced the biggest test in his life, and he almost collapsed under the pressure.

This is the tragedy of small places.

When Jiaozhi still belonged to the Central Plains, Champa was just like Jiaozhi today, constantly invading the territory of the Central Plains, and its greed was no different from the people of Jiaozhi.

Therefore, it is impossible for Shen An to have sympathy for them.

What he wants is a port and supplies!

The maritime policy of the Song Dynasty has changed, and the first batch of sea ships have set sail under the protection of warships. What will be the response from overseas to the Song Dynasty going overseas on a large scale?

Be wary or show a ferocious face?

Once supplies and ports are lost, the fleet going to sea will be like a helpless orphan...

So from the moment he was in Fanlou, Shen An had been setting a trap for the envoy, giving psychological hints one after another...until now the matter was finalized.

You're done!

Shen An suppressed his joy and said calmly: "Don't you need your envoy to go back to discuss it?"

The envoy smiled bitterly and said: "No need, this matter has been discussed in the country for a long time. The city is occupied and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are welcome to garrison."

I think the people of Jiaozhi would be more wary of the Song army.

But what about the cost?

"It's just that it costs a lot of money. After you convert..."

If we occupy the city, we are afraid that we will not be able to support the Song Dynasty garrison!

Shen An said: "There is no need to worry about this matter. The Song Dynasty will not let Champa suffer."

The garrison... What I want is the port and supplies. The garrison is just a guard. Do you really think the purpose of the Song garrison's occupation of the city is to clean up Jiaozhi?

you think too much.

"Really?" The messenger couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this.

"Ahem!" The official in the ceremonial room next to him said unswervingly: "The Marquis Guixin's net worth... is one million dollars, and Zhancheng is not worth the effort he spends to coax him."

This level of praise is pretty good!

Shen An secretly remembered this official and planned to promote him if he had the opportunity in the future.

The Li Fang became prosperous when he, Shen, took charge of it, and subsequently became a training yamen for Shen officials. Several times, the Li Fang of the Song Dynasty became famous at home and abroad.

The messenger was stunned, "Are you so rich?"

Even under the power of money, the messenger must bow his head.

"Shen said, there is no shortage of money." Shen An said calmly: "Has Jiaozhi still harassed you since last year?"

He needed to calm the hearts of the people in Zhancheng and make them completely committed to the Song Dynasty, at least temporarily, and then seek a solid stronghold for the navy and sea trade.

Mentioning this, the envoy raised his head slightly and said reservedly: "It seems that the Song Dynasty is still aware of it. Starting from the year before last, they occupied the city and organized their troops to prepare for war. The Jiaozhi people felt that they were outmatched. They have been honest for a long time."

"Ahem!"

Just as Shen An was about to refute his remarks, the official in the ceremony room coughed twice more.

Are you suffering from tuberculosis?

Shen An was a little unhappy and felt that it was very impolite for this guy to interrupt her.

The official first smiled apologetically at Shen An, and then said to the envoy: "I forgot to tell you that in the sixth year of Jiayou, Gui Xinhou led his army in Xiping Prefecture and was ambushed by 20,000 Jiaozhi elites..."

The envoy was obviously confused, which showed that Li Rizun was pretty good at concealing information.

"Twenty thousand elites..."

Don't try to coax me.

But he knew that this kind of thing couldn't be coaxed, because 20,000 people were not 20,000 pigs. If they were killed by the Song people, the news would come out sooner or later.

But he also felt a little palpitated at the same time, so he asked eagerly: "Dare I ask... where are the 20,000 people?"

The official smiled and said: "Part of it has become Jingguan, which is in Xiping Prefecture. Most people are now building roads on Guangnan West Road. Your envoy has come all the way, can you see it?"

The messenger shook his head, he was not walking that line.

But his heart was sinking.

Da Song was beaten violently by Nong Zhigao before, letting everyone know the weakness of this behemoth. Later, the Jiaozhi people frequently crossed the border to plunder, and the Song Dynasty seemed to have nothing to do, so people's hearts dispersed.

Once people's hearts dispersed, the vassal states' tribute became even more lazy and perfunctory.

Champa was one of them. The envoy remembered that he had not come to pay tribute to the Song Dynasty for four or five years. If not, how could the information be hidden from the messenger.

Previously, he said that occupying the city and preparing for war had frightened the Cochin people, but now it seems that it is a joke.

Shame on you!

It turned out that the Jiaozhi people were knocked unconscious by a sap from the Song Dynasty, so they concentrated on dealing with the Song Dynasty, and the occupation of the city was peaceful.

Is the Song Dynasty so powerful?

It didn't take long, right?

Di Qing has only been there a few years, right?

Tsk tsk!

At this time, an entourage came in from outside. He walked up behind the envoy regardless of etiquette, leaned over and whispered in his ear: "That Guixinhou was a famous hardliner in the Song Dynasty. He killed 20,000 people in Jiaozhi in one battle." Elite, later he advocated for the navy to go south and went directly to Thang Long City. In one battle, he killed the Jiaozhi people and gained hundreds of thousands of property..."

Damn it!

The messenger looked up at Shen An in shock.

"He also defeated the Liao and Xixia people several times. Wherever he went, the capital was everywhere...killing countless people..."

If defeating Jiaozhi gave Shen An a layer of gold, then defeating the Xixia and Liao people made Shen An shrouded in halo in the eyes of the envoy, as if he were a god.

The Xixia people are famous for their flat-headed brothers, who will fight regardless of whether they win or not.

The Liao Kingdom has been in the north for many years and is the overlord of this continent.

But they were all defeated by Shen An?

The messenger's eyelids twitched.

"He is also an expert in business, and within a few years he became the richest man in the Song Dynasty."

Damn it!

The messenger felt a little sad.

Why do others do things that they will never be able to do in a lifetime in just a few years?

"He is a miraculous doctor and a great scholar."

Damn it!

The messenger felt that his life had been in vain, and the trace of envy, jealousy, and hatred that remained at the beginning turned into joy.

There is such a person in the Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi will not be able to get rid of him in the future!

"Hou Guixin, I wonder when the Song Dynasty will send out its army?"

He took the initiative to change his role and began to urge Song Dynasty to send troops.

"Hou Xinxin, the Cochin envoy is here."

I go!

Is this going to be a big show?

The official looked at Shen An and wanted to ask for instructions on what to do.

Shen An said seriously: "We are all friends, let him come in."

Ruan Xian strode in with great momentum, but after being looked at coldly by Shen An, he quickly changed direction, pointed at the envoy who occupied the city and cursed: "Do the thieves dare to deceive the Song Dynasty?"

Why!

This is an excuse, but the former Cochin envoy will not make excuses.

This was the reaction after being hurt by Da Song.

Sure enough, it’s better to take action!

The envoy to capture the city immediately stood up and scolded Ruan Xian, and the temperature between the two continued to rise.

Seeing that something was wrong, the ceremonial room official walked up to Shen An and whispered, "Marquis Guixin, why don't you stop them?"

"Why?" Shen An picked up the tea cup and took a pleasant sip.

The official glanced at the envoys from the two countries who were already rolling up their sleeves, and said hurriedly: "I'm afraid they will take action..."

Shen An shook his head and said, "You misjudged their recovery. If they were able to be sent as an envoy to the Song Dynasty, their training would not only catch up with Shen, but at least catch up with Sima Guang... How could they fight?"

Boom!

Before he finished speaking, after learning that Jiaozhi had been severely beaten by Song Dynasty, the envoy who was about to explode with excitement took action and punched Ruan Xian staggering.

The official said in astonishment: "The Marquis of Guixin, Mr. Sima... he is a man of high moral standards!"

You just said that they are well-educated, but in the blink of an eye, they have black eyes.

Gui Xinhou, do you want to humiliate Sima Guang?

Shen An coughed dryly, "Um...it's hot and dry today, and I'm too angry."

The two people were already rolling on the ground, hugging each other. Everyone stood up and avoided them wherever they went.

Fu Bi was outside trying to figure out Shen An's diplomatic methods.

"Ji Xin Hou likes to play dirty tricks. He seems to be friendly, but in fact he is always thinking about how to trick the other party..."

An official was analyzing Shen An's methods and looked at Fu Bi eagerly, hoping to get praise from the boss.

Fu Bi nodded noncommittally, and someone said: "The converted man has a high moral character and can open an academy. How can he be sinister? I think he is generous and magnanimous in his actions. He looks like a generous person."

Boom!

The door was knocked open, and two figures rushed out, then hugged each other and fell together.

what does this mean?

Fu Bi was a little confused, and everyone around him looked at the official who just spoke in astonishment. UU reading www. uukanshu.net

Are you saying something sarcastic?

The envoy from Jiaozhi and the envoy from Champa were fighting right under his nose. Is it possible to say that there was nothing involving Shen An?

The official blushed and quickly defended his idol: "They started the fight on their own, and it has nothing to do with the Confucian Hou."

At this time, a secret agent from the Imperial City Department came and said, "When we left Fanlou, Guixinhou sent someone to inform the Jiaozhi envoy, saying that a big price had been paid to capture the city and he wanted to invite the Song Dynasty garrison. ... Ruan Xian hurried over with his people."

This Shen An...

The official's face suddenly turned red.

"Okay, okay, a gentleman talks but doesn't do anything..."

Shen An came out, looking very comfortable.

"You also know how to break up fights, which is good."

Fu Bi felt that although Shen An's methods were a bit troublesome, they made people feel more comfortable.

Looking at the Song Dynasty officials present, they all had smiles on their lips, and some were even cheering for the two envoys in a low voice.

Go ahead and beat the human brain into a dog brain.

"Shen An is good! He has high moral standards."

The envoys from Jiaozhi and Occupy made a big mistake. Fu Bi was in a very happy mood, so he praised Shen An against his will.

"Look, the converted prince is trying to break up the fight."

Shen An walked over to break up the fight and accidentally stepped on Ruan Xian's lower body.

"Ouch..."

Amid the screams, Shen An shouted: "Come quickly! Messenger Ruan is dying."

He turned his back to the entourage of the envoys from the two countries, and only the officials of the Song Dynasty could see the small movement just now.

He once again accidentally stepped on the waist of the envoy from the city...

"ah……"

Fu Bi stood there blankly, and the officials around him were looking at him.

Rich Prime Minister, is this what you call profound morality?

…

Goodnight everybody!
