A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,203 Is It Actually Duke Shen?

hehe!

When you are communicating with someone, use a cold hehe to deal with him, and you are guaranteed that he will want to blow your head off.

In later generations, some people have studied cases where you often use hehe to deal with it on social apps, and they concluded that the other person will feel awkward when they see you saying hehe back. Some may even get annoyed.

These spies were already being driven crazy, like a group of mad dogs looking for the escaped Song spies.

A mad dog meets a haha, that is, the Thunder God meets the Lightning Mother, the dry wood meets the fierce fire, the fierce fire meets the kerosene...

"Get him!"

When two countries are at war, it has been a rule for many years not to kill envoys.

Taking down a country's envoy without evidence is not something ordinary people can do.

Two secret spies rushed over. They would be in trouble if they couldn't catch the Song people's spies, so why couldn't they catch the envoy? What the hell!

Tang Ren stood up suddenly, holding the chair with one hand and smashing it over.

Boom!

The spy kicked the chair away, but another chair came.

Bang!

The spy fell down, and the remaining ones looked at Xiao Dieyi in shock, "Lin Ya, why is this?"

"Why take him?"

Being able to be sent as an envoy to the Song Dynasty, Xiao Dieyi's network was undoubtedly strong, so when he got angry, the spies were also a little confused.

"This is the envoy of the Song Dynasty, why did you take him?" Xiao Dieyi knew that the Song Dynasty spy escaped in the afternoon, so he was so angry.

A spy said: "This afternoon, a spy from the Song Dynasty listened to the news and was rounded up. However, someone helped him escape later. Someone saw the Song envoy nearby at that time."

This is the strongest evidence.

The spies kept an eye on Tang Ren, thinking that as long as they captured the person, they would be afraid that he would refuse to tell them under penalty of punishment.

As for the Song people’s protests afterwards... Haha!

The Liao and Song Dynasties fought several times, and the Liao Dynasty suffered heavy losses, almost falling out with the Song people.

So using a messenger is nothing!

"Come on." Tang Ren sat there with countless thoughts running through his mind.

Xiao Dieyi sneered: "The Song envoy has been with a certain person this afternoon. Do you mean to say that a certain person saved the Song people's spy?"

"The villain dare not."

Xiao Dieyi is an official of the Liao people, no matter how stupid he is, he will not save the Song people.

But was he really with Tang Ren this afternoon?

Several spies resigned and went out to ask for news.

"They really spent the afternoon together."

What nonsense!

Then who said that Ambassador Song came alone in the afternoon?

This is too much!

The news was finally known to Yelu Hongji.

"The Song people will reduce their troops in the northwest because of this. In other words, all negotiations with Xixia will be wasted and in vain!"

After a hard negotiation, Daliao also promised to give the Xixia people some food as compensation...

"In vain."

Yelu Hongji was so angry that he kicked the spy leader and shouted: "Come here!"

A guard came in outside the door. Yelu Hongji pointed at the spy leader and said, "Pull him out and beat him up!"

The sound of the stick and screams echoed in the palace. Xiao Guanyin happened to be passing by. When he saw this, he frowned and said, "Why do you want to beat him?"

The chamberlain beside him smiled and said, "My dear, this person has betrayed your majesty's trust."

This man was the spy leader. Xiao Guanyin nodded and went in to meet Yelu Hongji.

"Why are you here if you don't think about the inscriptions on the stone?"

Seeing the queen come in, the angry Yelu Hongji asked casually, and then regretted it.

Xiao Guanyin blushed with embarrassment, lowered her head and said, "When I heard that His Majesty was angry, I thought that I had recently made up a song and dance to present to His Majesty to relieve his boredom."

Yelu Hongji said casually: "Yes."

Xiao Guanyin clapped her hands, the musicians came in, the accompanying dancers came in...

When the music starts, Xiao Guanyin dances lightly...

The lights were dim and several servants were talking outside.

"Does that Daliwan know?"

"I know, it's a miracle medicine."

"Yes! And you can still make money."

"But isn't it gone now?"

"Of course the magic medicine will be out of stock, but they said, pay first, whoever pays first can get the goods first."

"Hiss! Then who can go out? I have some money here and am going to buy fifteen copies."

"You are so ruthless! Fifteen copies, the most you want is one of the fifteen copies, right? Who are you going to sell the rest to?"

"I have family members outside. Give them some. Also, there are so many people in the palace..."

Several chamberlains looked at each other, and one of them said, "Yes! There are so many people in the palace. If only a hundred people buy it, you will be rich."

"Count one."

"Someone is coming too."

"Take the money first."

"It's easy to talk about."

Countless amounts of money began to gather at Xiao Dieyi's family.

Several of the chamberlains smiled and understood tacitly.

Yelu Hongji inside suddenly remembered that Zhao Shu was good at musical instruments, and asked: "What were they talking about that day... Suona? Where is it?"

Someone came looking for the suona. Yelu Hongji took it, looked at it, and said with a smile, "It's just playing, I'm good at it."

When Zhao Zhen was in power, he never lost. But after Zhao Shu ascended the throne, Daliao suffered a big loss... He would not lose to Zhao Shu!

"Your Majesty is wise." The chamberlain who delivered the musical instrument couldn't help but smile when he thought of the man before who hesitated to speak.

This is trying to win favor, but can you keep up?

Yelu Hongji put the suona to his mouth, just as Xiao Guanyin's dance reached its most intense moment.

She lowered her waist and turned her body to face Yelu Hongji.

This is an extremely seductive gesture.

Yelu Hongji raised his suona and blew it with all his strength...

"Beep..."

The sharp sound immediately disrupted the rhythm of the band, and Xiao Guanyin, who was bending down, fell to the ground with an ouch.

The hall fell silent instantly.

Later someone shouted: "The empress is injured!"

Just after the second batch of Dali Pills arrived, Tang Ren was invited to Xiao's house.

Once inside he saw many boxes.

Xiao Dieyi stood on the side and said with a smile: "Open it and show it to Brother Tang."

A servant opened a box.

The golden light is shining everywhere!

Tang Ren was shaken, and was dumbfounded when the second box was opened.

Gold and silver!

These chests contained gold and silver.

"This is……"

Xiao Dieyi smiled and said, "These are the payment for goods. Copper coins are too heavy and heavy. If bad luck passes, I find someone to exchange them for gold and silver."

this……

It’s so spectacular!

Tang Ren was dazzled when he saw so much gold and silver for the first time, but he subconsciously said: "Gold and silver are of no use in the Song Dynasty!"

He remembered what Shen An had said about currency.

Copper coins will not last long as a mainstream currency, and the price is too high.

The cost of issuing copper coins was too great. The Song Dynasty originally lacked copper resources. After difficult smelting, the cost was no longer low.

That's why Shen An later strongly advocated the issuance of banknotes.

In Shen An's words, gold and silver are highly praised, which generally means that gold and silver can be minted and have high value. It can also be used as a reserve fund against which banknotes are issued.

In other words, the more gold and silver the better for the Song Dynasty.

"Yeah! There's no need for it." Xiao Dieyi said guiltily: "But you also know that copper coins are too heavy. If you take them out, you will probably be discovered... So... Let's do this, a handful How about some money exchange for gold, silver and copper coins?"

OK!

I can get more gold and silver, I think the Shen County Guild will be very happy.

But Tang Ren was embarrassed and said: "Mr. Shen is also in trouble! But..."

Xiao Dieyi was going crazy.

If gold and silver were not allowed to be used to pay bills, he felt that this business would basically be unsustainable.

The copper coins of the Liao Dynasty were originally scarce, so they liked to use goods to package the copper coins of the Song Dynasty when the two countries were engaged in trade. He didn't dare to give away these copper coins for such a large amount of Dali Pill! Otherwise, if he is discovered, Yelu Hongji can kill him.

Not only the Liao Kingdom likes to use the copper coins of the Song Dynasty, but also the merchants from overseas countries. However, Su Yan slapped him away from this idea last time at the Hangzhou Shipping Department. For this reason, those big food merchants were a little sad and felt that they were missing money. a profitable channel.

It can also be seen from this that copper coins themselves are valuable, and as currency, they do not bring much benefit to North Korea and China. Shen An suggested issuing banknotes, and the emperor and his ministers were immediately moved. It was for this reason.

"Who made us brothers?"

Tang Ren held up his hand and said sincerely: "From Bianliang to Zhongjing City, Brother Xiao took very good care of me. I have shouldered the responsibility of this matter. If Duke Shen is angry... I have nothing to fear."

He said he was fearless, but his expression was a little sad.

Brothers!

Xiao Dieyi said movedly: "I will send someone to send five thousand strings to you later..."

"Is this looking down on X?" Tang Ren said angrily: "X thinks you are his brother, but you use money to humiliate X..."

Tang Ren wants it!

He really wanted it, he wished someone had that money to humiliate him.

But Shen An's explanation came to mind again: This matter needs to be done by the Liao people, we are just supplying goods...

Five thousand strings!

Tang Ren was really sad.

He squeezed his sadness into anger, as if he really felt humiliated.

Xiao Dieyi originally had some suspicions, wondering if Tang Ren was playing tricks on him.

But now he was completely moved.

You don’t even need five thousand guan, this friendship is genuine and made of real gold and silver.

"Somebody come!"

Xiao Dieyi ordered: "Get the woman they sent so and so yesterday...get it out and send it to the post house."

"Don't refuse!"

Xiao Dieyi waved his hand and said seriously: "You have helped so much, and if so doesn't give back at all, then what will happen to so? This woman was sent by someone from below. Her figure is too fat, and she doesn't like it. …”

When he said he didn't like it, he couldn't help but lick his lips, obviously he didn't mean what he said.

fat?

Who likes thin and dry women?

Only the so-called gentlemen like it.

Tang Ren felt that he was not a gentleman, so he was inevitably moved after hearing this.

What a plump beauty!

"Just enjoy it and don't take it with you before you leave."

Of course the envoy cannot return home with a beautiful woman, that is a taboo.

So Tang Ren enjoyed the gentleness at night.

On the third day, a batch of gold and silver was shipped.

This batch of gold and silver is mixed in a caravan and will go directly to Xiongzhou Quqian.

As for how they passed the test, Tang Ren didn't care, but looking at Xiao Dieyi's confident look, he felt that there must be something wrong with it.

He found an opportunity to meet Chen Jisheng quietly.

Chen Jisheng was very amused by his confusion, "Qie Ju, the current administration of the Liao people is not as good as before. Yelu Hongji likes to enjoy hunting and enjoys hunting, and he also worships Buddhism, and he has less control over the affairs of the country..."

"Is that so?" Tang Ren knew something about it and made up for it before setting off, but knowing was one thing and seeing it with his own eyes was another.

"Xian County Duke Shen said that Yelu Hongji would become the gravedigger of the Liao Kingdom, and I believed it." Shen An's words were conclusive at that time, as if he had seen with his own eyes that the Liao Kingdom was heading into the abyss under Yelu Hongji's rule.

"That County Duke Shen...is he the former Shen Taizhao?"

Chen Jisheng felt that the name sounded familiar. But he never went back after arriving in the Liao Kingdom. The spies came and went with missions, and his feelings for the Song Dynasty became stronger and stronger.

"Do you know County Duke Shen?" Tang Ren knew that this spy leader was stationed in Liao Kingdom all year round, so he was a little curious, "He used to be in front of the emperor to wait for orders."

"Is it actually him?"

Chen Jisheng said excitedly: "Back then, he killed Yelujun, the spy leader of the Liao people. How many people in our Imperial City Division died in the hands of Yelujun! Shen waited for the imperial edict... No, the feats that County Duke Shen did back then were so impressive. I, the Imperial City Department, are full of admiration, but it is a pity that I have never met County Duke Shen, otherwise I would have had three toasts."

He had always only paid attention to the affairs of the Liao Kingdom, and did not even know the details of the Song Dynasty's several defeats of the Liao people.

"County Duke Shen even made Yelu Hongji so angry that he vomited blood." Tang Ren felt that these spies were really pitiful. They had stayed here incognito for many years. Most of them were probably unaware of the current situation in the Song Dynasty.

"Isn't that a false appearance?"

The Liao State said that Bao Zheng was leading the battle at Yanmen Pass, and the same was true of the information conveyed by spies.

"Mr. Shen is accompanying us. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net "

"Last time, County Duke Shen pursued all the way to Fan Yang, and under the command of Fan Yang City... he even defeated Laishui on the way back..."

"Is this really the case? A certain person knew that there was a great victory and said that Prime Minister Han was leading the army..."

"OK!"

Chen Jisheng had tears in his eyes, "Civil officials are unreliable. I didn't tell you anything."

"This is not a civil servant." Tang Ren looked at the spy leader in front of him with pity, knowing that his emotions were probably very agitated.

"The Song Dynasty has another famous general. Some people after Di Wuxiang thought that the Song Dynasty would only be like this from now on. Who knew that County Duke Shen could unexpectedly rise up? This Song Dynasty..."

Chen Jisheng burst into tears: "You don't know, we people are like lonely ghosts here seeking for survival, looking for news. When we learn that the Song Dynasty has won the external victory, the joy in our hearts... I just feel the pain in my chest The inside was bursting... I wanted to go out and yell."

Chen Jisheng was drunk, and finally held Tang Ren's hand, saying that he must pay three glasses to Shen An...
