A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,798: Crouching on Horseback, Sent as Envoy to Goryeo

Go to Korea...

Shen An never thought about going there.

After leaving the hall, he supported Bao Zheng and asked in a low voice: "Why don't you let me refuse?"

Bao Zheng glanced at Han Qi beside him, his eyes cold.

Old guy, don't you know how to avoid suspicion?

Han Qi wanted to eavesdrop, but when he found out, he smiled dryly and passed them.

Bao Zheng then said: "Although you are now a Duke, you are still a knight for military merit, which is incredible. But your resume is quite different. Look at Han Qi, Fu Bi and others, including Wang Anshi, they all have one thing in common. That is to accompany foreign envoys, or even directly go on missions.

This kind of experience sharpens people and broadens their horizons. Only with this kind of resume can you enter the political hall in the future. "

When Shen An thought about it carefully, it was true.

For example, Lao Wang, he has been accompanying Liao envoys a lot in recent years. Every time the Liao envoy returned home, Lao Wang would accompany him all the way north to Jieqiao.

At first, Shen An found it boring, but now she realized that this was the emperor's way of tempering his ministers.

So that’s it!

Bao Zheng said: "This is a mission, it is no small matter. If you can neither be humble nor arrogant, and can control such a situation, there will be no obstacles to your promotion in the future."

"good!"

Shen An immediately went home to prepare.

"Going to Korea?"

Yang Zhuoxue had a headache, "Official, they say they are poor!"

"What does it have to do with me if he is poor?" Shen An was very indifferent.

Yang Zhuoxue was startled, "There's nothing good to eat."

"If someone has money, he can buy it for himself."

Is it still impossible to buy mutton in Korea? Shen An prepares the mission to fire on his own, how cool it is.

"It's dirty over there." Yang Zhuoxue was still talking persistently.

"It's okay. I will bathe and change clothes for my husband every day."

Shen An's bathing frequency probably ranked first in the court, and he could be called the cleanest courtier.

Zhao Wuwu on the side was covering his mouth and snickering.

Shen An glanced at her and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Yang Zhuoxue stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen and have a look."

After she left, Zhao Wuwu said: "Mr. Lang, it is customary in Korea to send people to accompany you. Madam is afraid that you will be in Korea..."

Well!

My co-author's wife is actually worried about me having fun every night in Goryeo?

Shen An couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Looking back, he found an opportunity to talk to his wife alone: ​​"Don't worry."

Yang Zhuoxue lowered his head, "What did the official say?"

This woman actually refused to admit it!

Shen An said: "As for my husband... why don't you go with me?"

Yang Zhuoxue was so ashamed that she shook her head and said, "I won't leave."

"Then if you don't want to be a husband, then take it with you..."

"Who are you going to take with you?" Yang Zhuoxue raised his head.

Seeing her rosy complexion, Shen An couldn't help but feel happy, "Take the taro."

"Dad, where are you going?"

Taro's cheers came from outside the house, and then the boy rushed in.

"Daddy, I want to go!"

The mixture of taro made the atmosphere between the couple dissipate, and then it was time to pack up.

"Daddy, I want to go!"

Once a child wants to go somewhere, the irritating energy makes people have a headache.

"Ask your mother."

Shen An dismissed his son with just one sentence, and then went in sanctimoniously an hour later, "Hey! Why is Taro still talking to your mother?"

Yang Zhuoxue rolled her eyes at him and felt that this guy didn't forget to cheat on people even at home. He was indeed the king of cheating in the Song Dynasty.

"elder brother!"

Guoguo is here, her light footsteps look full of energy and vitality.

"Brother, that Qin Guan is here."

"What is he here for?"

Yang Zhuoxue said: "My lord, we are here as guests. Recently, Qin Guan has become quite famous in the capital. He is said to be a rare talent."

"Talents...many of my husband's disciples are talents, and the academy is full of talents." Shen An stepped Qin Guan into the mud with one sentence, and then pondered for a moment, "Tell him that the trip to Goryeo is Business.”

Zhao Wuwu went to the front to deliver the message. She entered the side hall and saw Qin Guan sitting there. She nodded and said, "Mr. Lang said that the trip to Goryeo is a business matter."

Well!

After saying that, she found that Zhuang Laoshi and Qin Guan looked surprised, and Qin Guan even looked disappointed.

She went out to wait, and after Zhuang Laoshi sent Qin Guan out, she asked, "Housekeeper, is this man really here to beg to go to Korea?"

Zhuang Laoshi said with a proud look on his face: "I was talking to him earlier, and there was something in and out of his words... He said that he had read a lot of travel notes a while ago and knew a lot about Korea... I didn't know about him yet. Intention, when you said this, Qin Guan looked shocked, obviously he was shocked by Lang Jun. "

Only then did Zhao Wuwu know the reason. After returning to the back, he handed over the errand.

She was always curious, "Mr. Lang, how do you judge Qin Guan's intention?"

Shen An said casually: "Then Qin Guan is still waiting for the opportunity to take the imperial examination, but how can he become famous before the imperial examination? If he can follow a certain prince to Goryeo, he will definitely become famous."

Zhao Wuwu nodded, "Then... I'm afraid, why don't you agree? After all, if you show kindness now, you can use it for your own use in the future. This is also a way for ministers to gather connections."

Although Shen An despised Qin Guan and felt that he was not worthy of Guoguo. But Zhao Wuwu felt that Shen An should be kind to Qin Guan. With Qin Guan's talent, the imperial examination was naturally not a problem. When the time came for him to become an official, Shen An would naturally be his help.

Shen An shook his head and said calmly: "If a certain person wants connections, the academy is all students of a certain person, how many connections do they have? Then Qin Guan's talent... his best thing is poetry, what's the use of poetry?"

"That's right, poems are of no use to the country. I understand, I understand." Zhao Wuwu was about to leave, but Shen An said, "Tell Zhuang Laoshi that I haven't seen any strangers in the past few days."

Zhao Wuwu agreed.

Later, many guests came to visit, but Zhuang Laoshi and Shen An refused.

"My husband has been busy lately."

What a mess!

Everyone knows that Shen An has been doing nothing recently, just preparing his luggage.

Most of these people can get the news because they are related to officials.

Someone went to find Cao Yi and asked him to intercede.

Cao Yi took the man to the Shen family.

"Anbei, give me some face."

While Cao Yi was eating the Shen family's ice cream, he was pleading for mercy. The young man named Zhao Xuan stood with his hands tied and looked very honest.

Shen An glanced at him and said, "Want to go to Korea with someone?"

"Yes, please give me a chance."

"It's not impossible." Shen An looked at him with interest: "It's just that someone's followers must be capable, at least able to endure hardship, you..."

Zhao Xuan was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "A certain person can endure hardship, no matter how hard it is."

This was agreed so quickly!

Cao Yan said while eating: "Anbei, this kid can endure hardship. Back then in the brothel..."

He shut up in embarrassment.

Zhao Xuan looked at Shen An nervously.

The Duke went to brothels only a handful of times, and every time he went he only drank and joked, never having sex with women.

Will he resent someone for this?

He glanced at Shen An and felt relieved when he saw the Duke smiling.

"He's a nice young man, so...honest."

Shen An didn't seem to know the fact that he was about the same age as Zhao Xuan, and he spoke in a very old-fashioned way.

Outside, Zhuang Laoshi came in, and Shen An ordered: "Let Wen Xiaozhong teach him to stand for a quarter of an hour."

Zhuang Laoshi glanced at Zhao Xuan, nodded and said, "Please follow me."

This thing is finished.

The so-called station is the horse step, which Wen Xiaozhong uses to train the bottom of the taro.

At the beginning, Taro cried while squatting on horseback, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, and now he is able to do it with ease. But Shen An said that Taro was still growing and could not squat for a long time. An argument broke out between Shen An and Wen Xiaozhong, and Wen Xiaozhong lost in the end.

When Wen Xiaozhong heard about this, he said: "Since you have never practiced before, just squat against the wall."

Squat against the wall and do horse stance...

After just ten breaths, Zhao Xuan felt soreness in his knees and thighs.

"Hey hey hey..."

He bared his teeth and said, "No more, no more!"

Wen Xiaozhong frowned and said, "Twenty breaths less."

Zhao Xuan persisted for a while, and then slipped away after about thirty breaths.

Hearing that Xiaozhong shook his head, he went in and reported, "Mr. Lang, I can't even breathe until thirty."

"That bad?"

Shen An shook his head, and Cao Yan asked, "Is it bad?"

"Very bad." Shen An stood up and went out, "Uncle, don't blame me for not giving you face. If you go to Goryeo this time, whoever is useless will be a sinner."

Zhao Xuan looked aggrieved. Cao Yi and his father were old friends, so he smiled bitterly and said, "How did you stand?"

Zhao Xuan leaned against the wall to demonstrate, and Cao Yi went over to do it, and he actually persisted for three hundred breaths, which shows that he is not a real dude.

"He is still young, thirty breaths is not bad." Cao Yi was speaking for Zhao Xuan without any principles. He seemed to be a real friend.

"Taro!"

Shen An called Taro, "Squat down into a horse stance."

So everyone watched.

Ten breaths.

One hundred interest.

Taro even had time to look at his father, his eyes full of pleading.

He wants to go to Korea!

Shen An saw Taro's eyes, but turned a blind eye.

It would be fine if the taro was bigger. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net He took it with him to broaden his horizons.

But now if he takes taro to Goryeo, Yang Zhuoxue will be able to sleep in a separate bed with him without worrying about himself.

Women are always particularly tough when it comes to children.

Why!

That bitch, for real!

Over there, Cao Yi saw that Taro could stand so easily without leaning against the wall. He felt ashamed and said, "Let's go back."

Zhao Xuan looked at Shen An reluctantly and said, "My lord, I am here at any time."

Shen An smiled, and Cao Yi slapped him away, "Wait a minute!"

He came here in good spirits and returned disappointed.

And Shen An is also thinking about the composition of the mission.

"Anbei!"

Su Shi is here.

Su Xian!

Shen An's eyes lit up when he saw Su Shi.

Poems and articles, who else could I give them to?

Taking Su Shi with you means bringing a mobile library. No matter what you want, just offer Su Shi.

"Anbei, I want to visit Korea."

Su Shi felt that there was little hope, "How about giving it a try at a Shang Shu official's house?"

"Forget it." Shen An touched his chin and said awkwardly: "This is an envoy, and all aspects must be..."

"That's all." Su Shi was very free and easy.

"What you said is inappropriate. Don't you regard me as a brother?" Shen An was furious and said, "I will take care of this matter. Just go home and prepare your luggage."

Su Shi was moved to tears and said, "Anbei, you are indeed a good brother. I just got a good calligraphy from somewhere, and I will give it to Guoguo later."

The calligraphy that Su Shi thought was good was naturally very good.

Shen An was happy and settled the matter easily the next day.

After looking for a good day, the Song envoy and the Korean envoy set off.

If you don’t have a monthly vote, there will be no emotion. Look at Su Shi’s eyes filled with tears when he was moved. Brothers, please vote for a monthly vote.
