Chapter 389: Summoning the Bloodiness of the Song Dynasty
After that, people came in and out of the palace frequently, and many new faces came in.
Zhao Zhen kept looking for people to question, including those officials who had previously served on Guangnan West Road.
The results of questioning again and again made him look livid.
Li Rizun was an ambitious monarch. He had been conquering east and west since he was the prince, and he often went on personal expeditions as a monarch.
Under the rule of such a monarch, will Jiaozhi be a good candidate?
I underestimated the enemy before!
What he didn't know was that later generations of Jiaozhi history books wrote about the invasion in the fourth year of Jiayou's reign: In the fourth year of Jiayou's reign in the Song Dynasty, in March of spring, he attacked Qinzhou of the Song Dynasty and returned with outstanding troops.
The Cochin people did not think that their invasion was something shameful at all. On the contrary, they showed off many times. And they are also preparing for subsequent invasions...
According to the original history, the Song Dynasty was unprepared, and then the Jiaozhi people took advantage of the situation and killed them. Song Shiyao and others died in the battle.
Later, Jiaozhi raided Qinzhou and other places, and carried out massacres after breaking the city. History books say it was a preemptive attack and the embodiment of Jiaozhi's active defense policy at that time.
"Get out of the palace!"
Zhao Zhen finally discovered the true nature of Jiaozhi. He was not a kind neighbor. If he was not careful, a disaster greater than Nong Zhigao would happen in the southwest.
He couldn't sit still and felt uncomfortable all over, so he changed into civilian clothes and left the imperial city surrounded by guards.
…
"The surrounding areas of the Song Dynasty are not safe. The Liao and Xixia people have one tiger and one wolf. Now the wild dog Jiaozhi has arrived from the southwest. If it is not curbed, it will be passive everywhere in the future."
In the study room, Shen An was explaining his views to everyone.
Wang Yu was in a daze, and Zhe Kexing asked: "Brother Anbei, do the Jiaozhi people still dare to covet the Song Dynasty?"
"Do you think Li Rizun just wants to do it piecemeal?"
Shen An said seriously: "Jiaozhi is a good place with rich products, but those people are lazy. They prefer to rob other people's things... Which one would you choose between hard work and coming out of thin air?"
Zhe Kexing said: "I like the credit for my hard work, but I don't like the rewards that come in vain. It will make me feel ashamed and shameless to see others."
Zhao Zhen outside looked coldly at Zhuang Laoshi, who was about to greet Shen An, and then continued to listen.
"...This is a good thing, but we have been influenced by these ideas for hundreds of thousands of years. But Jiaozhi is different. There is no thought there...Ideology is...for example, Confucianism, which is not only a kind of knowledge, but also derived from We have a kind of thought, but the Cochin people don’t. So they are fickle, moody, see profit and forget justice, and are greedy..."
Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, feeling that this young man looked down upon the Jiaozhi people too little.
But the example of thought is better. The thoughts derived from Confucian culture have influenced the Central Plains for thousands of years, and finally cultivated such Chinese people.
Zhao Zhongzhen's voice came: "Brother Anbei, Guangnan West Road is not an important place of wealth for the Song Dynasty, but it cannot be shaken. Once it is shaken, the southwest will be passive everywhere in an instant, and restless natives everywhere will stand up. , under the influence of ambition, became the enemy of the Song Dynasty, so... if not, it will sweep all the way, and there will no longer be peace in the south. "
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, thinking that it was good to have this understanding. At least he would be able to throw away those powerful children and clan members in the capital.
"That's true, but the more important thing is that Song Dynasty cannot lose again."
The room was silent.
Zhao Zhen sighed in his heart, knowing that this was correct.
The Song Dynasty lost too much to the outside world. If it continued to lose, the morale of the people would fall to the bottom, and then the Xixia and Liao people would come to take advantage of it.
This is why he dare not start the war lightly. If he fails, there will be a series of consequences, like diarrhea, which cannot be stopped at all.
Shen An said: "This time I want to go and see what the people of Jiaozhi are like. If we can defeat Jiaozhi's ambitions in one battle, the Song Dynasty will be able to devote all its efforts to the north. It will be worth it."
"What's it worth?"
"who?"
Zhe Kexing put one hand on the table and flew away.
Zhang BaBa's grimace suddenly appeared at the door. He looked at Zhe Kexing coldly and clenched his right hand into a fist...
"Follow the Tao!"
Shen An shouted, and Zhe Kexing stepped back as soon as he landed.
When Zhao Zhen appeared, Shen An almost wanted to kill someone and silence him.
This old man was so shameless that he came to spy on me.
If I just said something that violated a taboo, will you be punished later?
"I've met the officials."
Zhao Zhen came in with a smile. He just heard everyone's reactions and was very satisfied.
After he was asked to sit down, he looked at Wang Yu: "Is this Wang Qing's child?"
Wang Yu stood with his hands tied, "Yes, young Wang Yu, I have met the official family."
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "I heard you are smart, why didn't you say anything just now?"
Last time Sima Guang said that Wang Yu composed two poems after entering Beijing, which was inconsistent with his reputation as a genius.
Sima Guang, that mouth of yours is going to be torn apart someday!
Wang Yu felt furious in his heart, and then said: "The officials and Jiaozhi are not terrible. As long as they suffer a big loss, there will be peace for at least fifty years."
This is a good statement, but not outstanding.
Zhao Zhen nodded and looked at Shen An, "Why do you want to go to Jiaozhi? The Mangshan army only has a hundred people, how can they fight?"
How dare you underestimate my Mangshan Army?
Shen An thought about how to let Zhao Zhen get a slap one day, "Guan Jia, the Mangshan Army will surprise you."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Oh, I'll just wait and see."
"I want to go to the southwest...I mainly want to see if I can make the Song Dynasty worry-free before attacking the Liao people in the north."
Shen An's words were loud, and Zhao Zhen said disapprovingly: "People from Northern Gu Liao..."
He is already old, and his former ambitions have been gradually worn away by the years. At this moment, he just wants to guard peace. As for the rest, let his successors take care of it.
He glanced at Zhao Zhongzhen and said with a smile: "Can a young man also shake up someone? Then I'll wait and see."
This is agreed.
Shen An said: "I want to ride away lightly."
Zhao Zhen asked: "But are you worried that it's too late?"
Shen An nodded and said, "The people of Jiaozhi are cunning. I'm worried that I'll be late."
"It's okay to worry about national affairs, just be careful in everything."
Zhao Zhen said with appreciation: "If you can't, remember to protect yourself."
This is a subtle way of telling him not to work too hard.
You are a civil servant, don't imitate the martial arts and go to fight, just watch.
In his opinion, the Mangshan Army's few people could protect Shen An. As for letting him go, he just wanted to see what new suggestions the young man could give when he came back.
Today, both the monarch and his ministers were severely beaten by Shen An. It is said that the ministers and ministers were unhappy in the political hall, feeling that they had been humiliated this time. Zhao Zhen didn't care about the shame, he just wanted to calm down the surging undercurrents.
Shen An lowered his head and said: "In the official family, if everyone cherishes their own lives and everyone is afraid of death, this Song Dynasty... what can it... expect from it? I only hope to use blood to arouse the bloody nature of the Song Dynasty. From now on The imperial street review has begun, and I have been walking step by step, hoping to make this Song Dynasty more bloody. This time I invited myself to go to the southwest, and the same is true..."
"you……"
Zhao Zhen was finally moved. His eyes were slightly red and he said, "I... a young man is like this. You leave me speechless!"
Those ministers regard the southwest as a fearful road, and even regard the battlefield as hell. How many ministers like Shen An are there who have been in danger many times?
No!
After returning to the palace, Zhao Zhen summoned Zaifu again.
"Zeng Qing!"
Privy Councilor Zeng Gongliang of Xinzha was out of duty.
Zhao Zhen's eyes were a little cold and he asked, "Do you dare to die?"
Zeng Gongliang and the ministers were all startled. He looked up at Zhao Zhen and felt that this was not a joke, so he solemnly said: "For the sake of the Song Dynasty and for His Majesty, I dare to fight with a sword!"
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly and said, "In that case, prepare immediately and set off tomorrow."
"Your Majesty, may I ask where you are going?"
"southwest!"
The official finally made a decision. He stood up and said, "I want Li Rizun not to dare to peek north! Zeng Qing, try your best!"
"I will send a thousand cavalry for you to take with you. You can use the troops there... Shen An will also follow. Just keep an eye on him and don't let him fight again..."
Zeng Gongliang was startled and immediately responded.
Going to the Southwest?
As a privy envoy, he was about to take office, and the first thing he did was to go to the southwest?
He bowed and said: "I would like to ask your Majesty to give me a strategy."
What kind of regulations are there for going to the southwest? There must be a guarantee for this.
Zhao Zhen looked at him thoughtfully and said, "Privy envoys need to know their troops, and Han Qing in front of you is like this. There is chaos in the southwest now. You go there. I think you can see the battle formations, and you can make a clear target from now on."
The privy envoy knows the soldiers...such as Han Qi.
Han Qi smiled slightly, and a shadow appeared in his mind.
Di Qing!
That is the real Zhibing.
Are the officials deliberately humiliating me?
Han Qi took a look, but couldn't see any clues.
But he just mentioned Shen An. Is that boy really going to the southwest?
"Your Majesty, why is Shen An going to the southwest?"
"The Mangshan Army only has a few people, what's the use of them?"
In Zhao Zhen's eyes, the excitement among the ministers and ministers seemed stale, indifferent, and lacked courage.
That young man is willing to use his blood to summon the bloody nature of the Song Dynasty, but you are thinking about his role.
He felt angry.
So he stood up and said: "He said he was willing to use blood to summon the bloody nature of the Song Dynasty..."
Han Qi was surprised, then turned away, his ears quickly turning red.
Zhao Zhen lamented: "Back then, he said at the boundary bridge of Baigou River that the Song Dynasty was missing a man. I didn't take it seriously at the time, thinking it was the ignorant words of a young man. But he used Yelujun's life to demonstrate to me... ...Later...he was in Fuzhou...he used Jingguan to demonstrate to me...no, he was demonstrating to the Song Dynasty...a real man...a real man..."
The emperor's murmur gradually became inaudible...
…
Shen family, Bao Zheng is here.
Guoguo had already burst into tears. Shen An held her and comforted her for a long time.
"Brother...how long will my brother be leaving?"
Guo Guo finally asked with swollen eyes.
Shen An hugged her and said, "It won't be long."
It's a long way from here to Guangnan West Road, but he will ride fast all the way, and the rest will depend on God's will.
Bao Zheng also brought Bao Shou. Bao Shou and Guo Guo were very familiar with the milky voice. The two children were muttering beside them.
"You should be careful on this trip. By the way, there is a lot of miasma over there, so bring more medicinal materials."
Bao Zheng glanced at Guoguo and felt a little headache.
One child is okay, but two children, even if Guoguo is well-behaved, Bao Zheng still has to play with him for a while after he goes to the Yamen.
Shen An is also looking at Guoguo. His sister is getting older, and he feels more at ease when traveling. And over there...
"Don't worry, Mr. Bao."
Bao Zheng nodded, "Don't worry about the Yang family, nothing will go wrong."
Only then did Shen An think of that girl.
While it was still early, he went to Yang's house.
"Madam, Shen An is here."
Ah Qing happily entered the backyard, but Mrs. Li looked unhappy.
"I didn't say anything in advance. The official is still in the Yamen. Why is he here so rashly?"
How can there be such a young man who doesn't understand etiquette?
In an instant, Li's impression of Shen An was completely ruined.
"Madam, what did he say... I'm leaving tomorrow, so I came to say goodbye."
"Gone? Where?"
"Say it's the southwest."
Li was shocked and said, "Is this a business trip? Yes, tell Zhuo Xue to go quickly."
There is no etiquette to talk about at this time, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net, and this is not an era where the rules are so strict that they are like clay figures eating people.
Yang Zhuoxue was called to the front yard.
"I will go to Southwest China on a business trip tomorrow. I won't be back until... next year."
Shen An felt that Yang Zhuoxue was not very tall, but the girl's shy appearance was particularly attractive.
"Well, be careful along the way."
These words were quite satisfactory. Shen An felt it was appropriate, and so did Ah Qing, who was hiding outside and eavesdropping.
Although it is appropriate, it lacks emotion.
Shen An felt that he had nothing to say, and the previous impulse gradually dissipated, so he said, "So and so is leaving."
"etc."
Yang Zhuoxue stopped him, looked outside first, then took out a sachet from his sleeve and whispered: "Take it with you..."
Shen An felt very happy, took the sachet and said, "Don't worry, I promise to bring it back in good condition."
Yang Zhuoxue raised her head and glanced at him boldly, "It's good to be safe... Will Guo Guo go to Bao Gong's house?"
"Yes. It won't happen again."
Shen An looked at her boldly, his eyes burning.
Not anymore, because in the future I will have an extra sister-in-law.
"good."
…
Shen An went to the southwest, from Jiaozhi, Jingguan or something...
