Chapter 1,197 Hou Heixue, the Author of The Story of the Stone

/

Where is Daliwan? "

The next morning, Tang Ren, who had just woken up, asked this as his first question before entering the toilet.

"Those Liao people are following us all the way and they will arrive the day after tomorrow."

"good."

Dali Pills were transported to the border of Song and Liao by Anxiang. Liao merchants who had contacted them early took over and followed the envoy into the Liao border.

There is no doubt that this is smuggling.

But no one cares.

On the road, he met a serious sergeant who insisted on checking the contents of the cart. Xiao Dieyi was furious and almost killed him with his sword. This made Tang Ren understand a lot more about the unscrupulousness of the Liao nobles.

"That's great!"

Tang Ren was squatting in the pit, but Xiao Dieyi who couldn't wait came outside.

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty..."

Brother is squatting!

The feeling of being called out while squatting was even worse than waking up angry, but Tang Ren talked to Xiao Dieyi with a smile on his face.

"It'll be there soon."

Xiao Dieyi changed his clothes today and looked extravagant.

Tang Ren said in surprise: "So fast?"

He sighed and said: "All the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty are taking this kind of powerful pill, but you have been in Bianliang for so long, have you seen the common people and dignitaries taking it?"

As he spoke, he took out a pill, tore open the package, and ate the pill as breakfast.

"tasty."

Sweet and sour Dali Pills, you won’t get sick after eating them.

Xiao Dieyi also took Dali Pills along the way, and he couldn't help but salivate after seeing them.

"Want one?" Tang Ren threw one over, Xiao Dieyi took it, and the two of them started taking Dali Pills.

After eating, Xiao Dieyi thought about it carefully and praised, "I was not very energetic one morning, but now I am much better. It is indeed a miracle medicine."

hehe!

Tang Ren could only feel secretly happy about this.

When your appetite is good, your spirit will naturally be good, this is what Shen An said.

As a direct disciple of Mangshan Miracle Doctor, these words can never be wrong again.

"How to do it?" When things came to a close, Xiao Dieyi was a little nervous.

wooden club!

Tang Ren scorned for a moment, then smiled and said: "I have been studying for many years, and it seems that I have gained a lot, but I just followed County Duke Shen for a period of time, and the gains... I think it is better than studying for ten years."

"Shen An?" Xiao Dieyi shook his head, "About this matter... I have to go to the palace later. There is something... that stone record was written by Shen An, right? Can you confirm it?"

Tang Ren didn't know why he asked this question cautiously, but he habitually boasted for Shen An: "Of course it is. Shen County's public education is about heaven and man. It's not a boast. If it comes to knowledge, who dares to question who is the best in the Song Dynasty? I have been studying with him for several years, do you know?"

The mysterious look on his face made Xiao Dieyi burst with curiosity.

"What?"

"A certain person has been hanging out in the Privy Council for many years, but has made no progress. If this continues, he will probably end up in the Privy Council in this life..."

"It's very confusing." Xiao Dieyi knew this feeling: "Being an official means that you have to be constantly promoted, and you have to be able to see the hope of promotion, otherwise it will be very painful!"

"Hold on!" Tang Ren held his shoulders, and the intimacy between the two people reached a new level. "At this time, Mr. X met Mr. Shen. He taught him through words and deeds. Mr. X only studied for a few years. Now you see Look, a certain person is already practicing the daily life notes. Do you know the daily life notes of the Song Dynasty?"

Ever since Tang Ren kept relaying Shen An's views, Xiao Dieyi unknowingly felt more in awe of Shen An and nodded: "I know, he is a close minister of the emperor, so he can be promoted."

"That's right." Tang Ren said proudly: "Think about it, a certain person was just an official in the Privy Council before, but what about now? A minister close to the emperor will probably have a bright future in the future!"

"Then Mr. Shen...does he have the secret to becoming an official?" Xiao Dieyi was moved.

"Yes!" This is what Tang Ren was waiting for. He looked outside the door and coughed dryly: "I have something private to say to the envoy. No other people are allowed to come near."

Xiao Dieyi also ordered: "Stay away, keep an eye out."

Tang Ren also went out to take a look and came back when he saw no one was around.

"County Duke Shen once said that to be an official, you must first be a human being!"

"What do you mean?" Xiao Dieyi felt that this was a brand new field, and he had a hunch that he would become famous because of it.

Tang Ren looked solemn and solemn, "Mr. Shen said that to be an official, you must first be a human being, but how to be a human being? How can you make the superior official like you? Promote you? How can you make the king value you?"

"Remember, the two words "Hou Hei" are used in the world, and they are always beneficial. This is the secret of the Mang Mountain lineage."

"What does it mean to be thick? It means you have to be thick-skinned. You have to figure out what the superior officer likes and do what he likes. You don't hesitate to flatter him for this... Look at someone."

Tang Ren skillfully forced out a flattering smile. When Xiao Dieyi saw it, he couldn't help but praise: "Awesome."

Although the Liao people were deeply influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, their officialdom methods were still in their infancy, otherwise Yelu Hongji would not have used poor excuses such as conspiracy to kill his imperial uncle and his family.

When Xiao Dieyi was shocked when the rough officialdom culture met Shen An, a guy from later generations, he couldn't help but be fascinated by Shen An.

"The most important sentence in this is... Don't be afraid that Shangguan will not take the bait. A drop of water will penetrate the stone. Today you will do what you want, tomorrow you will do what you want, and the day after tomorrow... People like to be flattered. As time goes by, Shangguan will think that you are a good person. , is his confidant..."

"Being black means having a dark heart and a dark hand. When you meet a competitor and you want to stab him, how do you stab him? The best way is to kill someone with a borrowed knife and see who the opponent has a conflict with. Then you find that person, give him advice and give him money. ... to stir up trouble in the middle... in one word, to be black."

"Gradually, Shangguan will often mention your name. At this time, you must learn to be humble and a good person. But remember, you must be firm. Before Shangguan can still be used, you must be loyal to him... "

The conversation continued, and half an hour later, Xiao Dieyi stood outside the door, looking at the clear sky, and sighed: "Why do you feel like you have been reborn?"

"This is the teaching of Duke Shen."

This was really Shen An's teaching, but there were still some things he didn't tell Xiao Dieyi.

——Yelu Hongji likes to be flattered by others. As long as he likes others, promotion is not difficult.

Yelu Hongji can be called the gravedigger of the Liao Kingdom. This Liao emperor wandered around and liked to use flattering ministers. Moreover, he spent countless money and food on construction projects due to his various hobbies.

Xiao Dieyi's heart was agitated, and he cupped his hands towards the south and said: "Mr. Shen is indeed a man among the gods! Your Majesty, if there is anything difficult about this trip, just tell me that I... have shouldered the responsibility!"

Damn it!

Shen An taught these things to Tang Ren before setting off, in order to make Xiao Dieyi give up.

I still remember Shen An’s last warning at that time: Don’t do this at home, otherwise someone will kick you out of Mang Mountain.

This meant accepting him as his disciple. At that time, Tang Ren was so excited that he let out a wolf howl and was chased out of the five streets by Huahua.

Look at Xiao Dieyi. Now he is so grateful that he even promised to help Tang Ren clear the obstacles for this trip.

Is this crazy?

No, it's just the temptation of money and power.

But Xiao Dieyi was already convinced and almost worshiped Shen An.

If Duke Shen were here, he might be able to use this person as his own and become a secret spy of the Song Dynasty, right?

This idea was irresistible as soon as it came out. Tang Ren felt hot in his heart and said with a smile: "County Duke Shen once said, what is the reward for doing things for your brothers? You won't hesitate to put a knife to your expense."

"good!"

Xiao Dieyi came over, looked at Tang Ren seriously, then hugged him and whispered: "Tell County Duke Shen that a certain person is his believer."

Tang Ren was shocked and whispered: "Okay."

When this MLM case breaks out, if you can hold on, I think County Master Shen will be willing to 'cultivate' you again.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!

Tang Ren was happy and admired Shen An's methods.

But then someone came and said they were summoned by Yelu Hongji.

Generally, when envoys from the Song Dynasty came to the Liao Kingdom, they were usually summoned by Yelu Hongji before or after the imperial meeting. It was really rare to summon them so early.

What are you trying to do?

Tang Ren entered the palace confused.

Yelu Hongji sat at the top, looking majestic. There was a screen on the side, and it seemed like there was someone behind it.

After saluting, Yelu Hongji said calmly: "How is Emperor Song?"

This is a routine, Tang Ren said skillfully: "The official is in good health and in good spirits..."

The corners of Yelu Hongji's mouth raised slightly, "I heard that he is sick?"

"It's nothing." Tang Ren denied without hesitation, "The official's health is very good. After dealing with political affairs every day, he enjoys reading and playing music in the palace..."

Our official family is very elegant, much better than yours.

Yelu Hongji said coldly: "What does he know?"

This is the way to understand the opponent. Yelu Hongji looked at Tang Ren and felt that this man was just a stick, and he dared to say anything.

Sure enough, Tang Ren said without hesitation: "There are many musical instruments played by the official family, but the one they are best at is an ancient musical instrument. Whenever it is played, countless people in the palace will stop and listen."

"Huh?" Yelu Hongji couldn't help but feel envious when he heard this.

When the Liao Kingdom came to him, it was basically a time of peace and prosperity. How did the emperor live in the time of peace and prosperity? let's play!

Running around the world is play, reciting poems and painting is play, and as for musical instruments, this is more elegant.

"What instrument?"

He felt that he should suppress Zhao Shu. No matter whether it was martial arts or martial arts, he would crush him.

"Suona."

"Suona?"

Yelu Hongji just glanced outside, and someone quickly went out to look for it.

He is confident that he will be more familiar with the suona than Zhao Shu within two months. As for making people stop when they hear the sound, this seems to be good!

At this time, a slight dry cough came from behind the screen. Yelu Hongji frowned slightly and asked, "I heard that someone from the Song Dynasty wrote a book called The Story of the Stone. It has some meaning. Who wrote it?"

The Liao Kingdom had already received the news. UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.net said that The Story of the Stone was written by Shen An, but neither Yelu Hongji nor Xiao Guanyin believed it.

"The Story of the Stone?"

Tang Ren was startled, and then he couldn't help but laugh, "This book... It's a long story. After County Duke Shen got engaged, his fiancee was banned and was not allowed to go out. So he wrote this book and had it sent to her. , It’s just to relieve my fiancée’s boredom.”

There are taboos when you are engaged, you can no longer show your face. It's an exaggeration to say that she was banned from home, but Yang Zhuoxue rarely went out during those days.

In his mind, Shen An was almost omnipotent and omniscient, so Tang Ren felt that this matter was nothing.

But Yelu Hongji's expression turned cold, and Tang Ren couldn't help but murmur.

What does it mean?

Is there anything in the Records of Stone that the Liao Emperor is taboo about?

A choking sound suddenly came from behind the screen. Tang Ren recognized the voice of a woman and was speechless.

What does it mean?

Why is there a woman squatting behind the screen?

Moreover, when she heard that the Stone Notes was written by Shen County Duke, she actually choked up...

Could he be an admirer of Duke Shen?

And it should be a princess.

Tang Ren felt that it was natural for the princess to become Shen An's admirer, so he said calmly: "Your Majesty has learned that Duke Shen has married a wife, and he and his wife have no doubts about their love."

Does your princess want to marry County Duke Shen? Stop dreaming.
