Chapter 135 The Lord of Xuancheng County... Guoguo

There is no desolate atmosphere in Bianliang City in late autumn. Instead, it becomes more prosperous because of the extra money in the hands of the people.

There was a constant flow of people on the street, and the merchants on both sides were shouting, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to make more money.

In the palace, the emperor and his ministers were in a good mood.

"Your Majesty, the harvest in the Song Dynasty is good this year, and good news is spreading everywhere!"

"Everything is going well this year. This is God's protection and the benevolence of officials..."

Praising a saint is unavoidable. The emperor works conscientiously all year round. If he doesn't praise him a few words, if he gives up his job next year, who will everyone go to if there is a conflict?

Such a good emperor!

Then the voice of chanting the saints became more and more pious, like worshiping Buddha in a temple.

Zhao Zhen was listening. He knew that these praises were made casually by the prime ministers. If necessary, they could praise him non-stop for three days and three nights.

In the left ear and out the right ear...

He was thinking about the two children in his belly and longed to see them born as soon as possible.

Why! Without the help of the imperial doctor, Zhao Zhen himself could calculate the approximate date of delivery.

Others have been ill for a long time and have been cured, but I have been looking forward to it for a long time...

The praises below gradually died down, and the scene was finally over.

Zhao Zhen coughed and prepared to leave.

Someone came in from outside and reported: "Your Majesty, Chen Zhi, the magistrate of Xiongzhou, is reporting urgently."

Zhao Zhen felt drowsy after listening to the flattery for a long time. Hearing this, he said, "What's going on in Xiongzhou?"

Xiongzhou was the first line of defense of the Song Dynasty. If something happened there, it would be a big deal, so the spirits of the emperor and his ministers were immediately lifted.

Fu Bi watched the memorial being sent to the emperor, and couldn't help but stare at the emperor impolitely.

Zhao Zhen looked at the memorial, and his expression gradually became serious.

What is it?

The ministers and ministers all felt that something was wrong, but they could not urge the emperor and could only wait.

Zhao Zhen put the memorial aside, covered his forehead, and said with difficulty: "Chen Zhi said... Shen An insisted on meeting with the Liao spy leader, and I'm afraid it will be... bad."

"Ye Lujun?!"

Although Privy Councilor Song Xiang has only been in office for a short time, the name Yelujun has come into his eyes frequently, and it can be said that he has been famous for a long time.

He said in shock: "It is rumored that Yelujun is an illegitimate son of the royal family, and the Liao Emperor has great trust in him. If he really wants to kill Shen An, even if he leads the army to kill him across the Juma River, the Liao Emperor will not do it afterwards. Blame him... Shen An is seeking death!"

Only then did Fu Bi realize the seriousness of the matter. He said angrily: "Your Majesty, the Liao people are domineering. Please summon the Liao envoy to scold them."

The new envoy from Liao has already settled in the embassy, ​​and everyone is still getting used to it. At least the other party has not started extorting money yet.

Han Qi sighed: "I know a lot about Yelu Jun. His methods are sinister and he rarely shows up. Shen An is not worthy of his appearance... so... he is afraid that he has murderous intentions."

If the spy leader shows up too often, he will bring about his own destruction.

Han Qi is a former Privy Councilor and has experience in battle, so after his words came out, the hall fell silent.

Zhao Zhen originally wanted to get a negative answer from Zaifu, but who knew it would turn out to be a more cruel ending.

He thought of Shen An's interference and couldn't help but said sadly: "Although that boy is sometimes naughty, he is loyal to me and to the Song Dynasty... He left at such a young age. I wish I could bring him back. Someone else was sent..."

The emperor was very soft-hearted, but he actually said that Shen An was loyal to him and loyal to the Song Dynasty. This evaluation was really high.

If it were in the past, the big guys would definitely suppress him. How could he give such a good reputation to a young man?

But now all the prime ministers and assistants have their heads lowered, and some are also sighing.

Fu Bi thought of Shen An and couldn't help but feel a little sad, saying: "Although Shen An acts a little more fiercely, he never messes around. He has a reputation as a teacher. What a pity!"

Han Qi remembered the time when Shen An taunted him and fainted outside the Privy Council Gate, but now that he was gone, those grudges were gone.

"Pity!"

He also felt that the young man was really a pity.

"The crossbows he invented can help the Song Dynasty resist foreign enemies. He negotiated many times with the Liao envoys and won face for the Song Dynasty... Hey!"

These sighs made Zhao Zhen even more sad. He held back his sadness and said: "Go to me, I remember that his sister is at Bao Qing's home. Go to me, his family is not short of money, but he is afraid that someone will bully his sister... ...That’s it, Liu Qing.”

Liu Chang, the new magistrate, came out and waited for his orders.

Zhao Zhen said: "Draw up the decree, his sister... the county prince, the ministers must not object."

The prime ministers and ministers all nodded sadly. The emperor had already mentioned this, and anyone who opposed it was heartless.

Moreover, the county monarch is not considered high, and belongs to the lowest level of imperial edict.

But Shen An's sister has since become a classy... doll. From now on, her husband will have a headache unless he is an official.

Liu Chang was about to draft the edict, but he questioned: "Your Majesty, the county monarch is a married woman. I heard that Shen An's sister Chen is still a girl. This..."

Is it appropriate to give the title of a married woman to a female doll?

But Zhao Zhen took the medicine today and said coldly: "I will do it as I say, Lord of the County, Lord of Xuancheng County!"

have to! The officials were angered. Not only did they get angry, they also directly used Xuancheng as Guoguo's title.

Fu Bi coughed dryly and signaled Liu Chang to stop arguing.

Shen An has already died for his country, what's the point of fighting for this?

Besides, it's just a title, not an official title. Could it be that since Shen An died for his country, couldn't his sister benefit from it?

Why! Not sensible!

Liu Chang also knew that he was afraid of touching the sadness of the official family, so he lowered his head and drafted the decree, which was completed later.

Zhao Zhen looked at it and said, "Let's send it."

He was really sad and stayed alone when he returned to the harem.

The person who announced the decree went all the way to the Bao family, frightening the Bao family to death. They thought it was Bao Zheng who had gone.

Fortunately, Bao Zheng was notified and arrived in time. He brought Guo Guo over with red eyes, and then followed a set of procedures. Guo Guo was still confused.

"Where's my brother?"

She asked Bao Zheng's eldest daughter-in-law with wide eyes.

Ms. Cui lowered her eyes and said, "Your brother is working for the government and will be back soon."

The news gradually spread among the senior officials. Some were sad, some were gloating, and some were drinking to celebrate...

Zhao Yunrang was so sad that he was bedridden, Zhao Zongshi stopped playing suona for two days in a row, Zhao Zhongzhen...

Zhao Zhongzhen was lying on his bed. He had a fever.

"...Kill the Liao people..."

Gao Taotao looked at his son who was talking nonsense and asked the doctor about the situation.

The doctor whispered: "It's just that I'm too sad. It's not good for the child. I need to be more relieved when he wakes up."

The doctor left the county prince's palace and said to the medicine boy: "A young gentleman from the county prince's palace is heartbroken. What happened?"

The boy didn't know, and the Shen family was also deliberately hiding it. Zhe Kexing was still hanging out in the front office...

"Shen An...is dead?"

In the Huayuan County Prince's Mansion, Zhao Yunliang rarely got up in the daytime and was reading listlessly.

He doesn't like reading, but recently the officials said that the clan members should read more.

It is said that this matter was suggested by Han Qi. He even suggested that the officials open a school in the palace and get some clan members to study there.

Hello Han Qi!

Anyone who is qualified to compete for that position has a great impression of Han Qi.

If he can succeed, he will definitely be rewarded in the future.

Zhao Yunliang couldn't help but smile slightly when he thought of this, reserved and elegant.

"Prince, the news from the palace is that Shen An is dead!"

"What?"

Zhao Yunliang stood up suddenly and threw the book in his hand to the ground.

His eyes sparkled, as if he had discovered a peerless beauty...

"What did you say?"

"Prince, Shen An is dead!"

Zhao Yunliang stared at the visitor, his eyes so sharp that he seemed to capture every subtle expression on his face and analyze them one by one.

The visitor felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by this look, but he did not dare to lower his head.

"Yes, the news just came from the palace. Your Majesty has made Shen An's sister the Queen of Xuancheng County..."

Zhao Yunliang was stunned for a moment, then clenched his fists and slowly turned around to look at the words on the wall.

——A blessing in disguise is a blessing in disguise.

"I have been patient for a long time, and finally the dark clouds have cleared and the bright moon has reopened... This is life! Hahahaha!"

He walked to the wall, pulled down the writing, and then tore it into pieces with his teeth.

"Be patient, bear with me. I have endured it since I was a child, just for that position. Just for my father's back then, I will continue to endure it..."

His father, Zhao Yuanyan, was known as the Eight Kings and was once very impressive.

But flowers are not as bright as a hundred days, and as soon as Zhao Yuanyan left, Zhao Yunliang felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

He looked around and was shocked to find that the officials were staring at him with unkind eyes, and the ministers were also looking at him coldly, wanting to use him to ask for credit from the officials.

So he chose to be patient and pretend to be crazy, and he was now safe.

But...but the man in the palace couldn't give birth to a son...

This is retribution!

As time goes by, Zhao Zhen is getting older, but there is still emptiness under his knees...

Only then did Zhao Yunliang suddenly realize that he actually had hope to compete.

If Emperor Taizong hadn't died young, his father, the Eighth Prince Zhao Yuanyan, would have been able to counterattack and achieve hegemony.

such a pity!

Unfortunately, it was not a holiday, so Taizong left early, leaving behind his beloved youngest son Zhao Yuanyan.

"Dad, Zhao Yunrang broke an arm!"

Zhao Yunliang looked at another painting on the wall with tears in his eyes.

In that painting, an old man was sitting on a bed, surrounded by maids. He looked calm and held a book in his hand.

He slowly squatted on the ground, held his head in his hands, and choked silently...

The old man in the painting seems to be looking at Zhao Yunliang, and his eyebrows gradually become kinder.

…

"chilly!"

On the official road leading to Bianliang, a group of cavalry was galloping.

Shen An even wrapped his face with a gauze scarf, leaving his eyes exposed.

Ahead was Bianliang City. Shen An pulled down the gauze scarf and turned around and said, "Everyone goes back to recover. We will have a chance to drink together later."

"good!"

After this trip, everyone had merit, so everyone was in a very good mood. At this moment, they were all eager to return home. After a burst of laughter, they headed towards the city gate.

All the way into the city, although Shen An was thinking about his sister, according to the rules, he had to go to the palace to report his work.

So he prepared to enter the palace.

However, Yiqi had already arrived outside the palace gate before him.

"As you all know, there is an urgent report from Xiongzhou."

Zhang Baibian was looking at the files, one of which was about Ye Lujun.

After getting the news, everyone in the Imperial City Department gritted their teeth and vowed to kill Yelujun.

Shen An!

Zhang Baba felt that it was a pity for Shen An. Rao Chunlai was also responsible for not intercepting Shen An.

So he raised his head and said coldly: "Is Rao Chunlai saying good things for his family?"

In his opinion, Rao Chunlai must have panicked at this moment and wanted to atone for his sins.

But the officials are all going crazy. If you are not unlucky, who is?

The people from the Imperial City Department who were sent to deal with Rao Chunlai have been setting off for several days, and it won't be long before Rao Chunlai will be brought back to the capital.

The clerk on the side opened the envelope. This was not because he had exceeded his authority, but because Zhang had experienced many assassinations in the past eight years. If he had not been cautious, he would have died long ago.

So generally letters are documents being opened.

The clerk took out the paper and first verified the signature on the back before looking at it from the beginning.

"What is it?"

Zhang Baba remembered Shen An's boldness in patting him on the shoulder and couldn't help but sigh slightly.

"Everyone knows..."

As soon as the clerk's hand loosened, the paper fell to the ground.

Zhang Baibian was furious, but the clerk was not panicked. He said blankly: "Everyone knows that Shen Baizhao has nothing to do..."

When Zhang Baibian heard this, he felt relieved and shouted: "Go, immediately report to the officials personally and say that Shen An is fine."

After Chen Zhi's memorial came out, the official family had been sad for Shen An for a long time. Now this good news should make him smile.

"He was able to escape, great!"

Zhang Baibian was also a little relieved.

"It's just that Yelujun... that is the shame of our Imperial City Department. Whoever can kill him will give this position to him..."

The document just woke up from the shock at this moment, and he murmured: "Yelujun is dead..."

"What?"

Zhang Baibian snatched the piece of paper and read it at a glance.

Snapped!

He slapped himself on the forehead, but because his skin and flesh were dry, the sound sounded particularly penetrating.

"Shen An...a real man!"

He stood up suddenly and shouted loudly: "Today, I, the Imperial City Secretary, are holding a banquet to celebrate the Great Song Dynasty!"

This was Zhang Baba whom no one else had ever seen before. He rushed out in a glum manner, and his subordinates came to congratulate him.

But no one knew why he wanted to have a banquet. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net just smiled dryly.

"Yelujun is dead."

boom!

The Imperial City Secretary immediately fell into a carnival.

That old enemy is dead!

"Everyone knows, who killed him?"

A subordinate asked this question while being happy.

Zhang Bianba just shook his head. Although he believed that he was in control of the Imperial City Division, once the news leaked out, Shen An's safety would be in serious trouble.

The Liao people's spies will fight tooth and nail. On the way from the Liao Kingdom to Bianliang, countless secret spies will rush to Bianliang one after another, and then look for opportunities to assassinate Shen An.

Days like that...

Zhang Baba felt that if that was the case, the officials would not be able to protect him.
