A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1,799 Humiliation

When the mission arrived in Dengzhou, the weather was already very hot.

The navy has prepared warships to escort them. According to the itinerary, Shen An and others have to rest here for a day before setting off.

The seafood in Dengzhou was pretty good. Shen Anren brought some and cooked a big pot of it himself.

Looking at a large pot full of seafood, Su Shi moved his index finger and asked: "What is this?"

"Seafood master." Shen An was nostalgic for the seafood master he ate in Qingdao in his previous life. There was also a beer festival back then. Eat seafood during the day and wander around the main venue of the Oktoberfest in the evening, which is very leisurely.

The Pipi shrimps are very plump and taste very fresh.

The scallops were so big that Shen An felt that what he saw in his previous life were small shells.

The octopus dipped in horseradish tastes delicious.

After the meal, night falls.

Shen An went out to eat and met the messenger Jin Chengjun.

"I have met Duke Shen." Jin Chengjun's smile was very gentle and elegant. This was the main reason why he was chosen as the envoy to the Song Dynasty.

But this alone is not enough.

Shen An nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, are you out for a walk?"

The two exchanged casual greetings and then walked forward together.

The sea breeze was very refreshing, and Shen An couldn't help but feel relaxed.

Jin Chengjun peeked at him from the side and said: "Duke Shen is so famous that foreign officials did not expect you to go to Goryeo. I think the king will be very happy..."

He looked at Shen An as he spoke.

Before going on the mission, he had been thinking about this famous general of the Song Dynasty.

According to Goryeo's internal analysis, Shen An should be a kind person on the outside but cold on the inside.

But Shen An has been very kind so far.

"Goryeo is now facing the threat of the Liao people. The king is convinced that Goryeo can block the Liao people's attack, but he hopes to join forces with the Song Dynasty to resist the Liao people."

hehe!

Shen An couldn't help but smile.

——Goryeo is not afraid of the Liao people, it just wants to have a good relationship with the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty is also fighting with the Liao people. Lao Tie, how about... everyone joins forces?

Such diplomatic phrases may seem crude to later generations, but they are deceptive at the moment.

Su Shi felt that they should join forces, so that the next time they went to war with the Liao people, Goryeo would be able to attack Tokyo Road and contain the Liao army.

He thought this was a good idea, but Shen An had told him before this trip that when faced with decision-making matters, he could only make a fuss and not express his opinion.

There was something in his heart that he couldn't say, which made Su Shi feel very depressed.

Shen An glanced at him and then said: "The Song Dynasty was convinced of this, so the purpose of this trip was just for the friendship between the two countries."

Jin Chengjun was waiting for Shen An's friendly response, but he didn't expect that he would actually come up with a friendship between the two countries, so he smiled and said: "Yes! It's just that the Liao people have fierce soldiers and horses. Although Goryeo is not afraid, they are worried about heavy losses. When the time comes, It is impossible to contain the Liao people."

The Koreans are not stupid, and they naturally know what Song Dynasty is most looking forward to doing.

So at this moment Jin Chengjun threw out this bone, hoping that Shen An would bite it.

"You..." Shen An looked at him with a look of contempt, "Can you talk to Shen about this?"

Jin Chengjun did not expect that Shen An would suddenly turn against him, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Foreign Minister... Foreign Minister has gained the king's trust in the country."

Shen An narrowed his eyes and looked at him, "Could you represent the King of Korea?"

Jin Chengjun wanted to speak, but Shen An added, "Full authority!"

"Well……"

Jin Chengjun wanted to say yes, but Shen An just gave him a cold look, and the words were stuck in his throat.

Shen An turned around and entered the room. Su Shi behind him was a little eager to try.

"Zizhan!"

Shen An shouted inside, and Su Shi went in angrily.

Jin Chengjun stood there for a long time before going back.

At some point, there was a companion from the mission beside him.

"What does Shen An mean by that?"

"Say I'm not qualified to talk to him."

"Tsk! This is humiliating. How about... we postpone it tomorrow?"

Jin Chengjun stopped and looked at the man, "What do you mean?"

The man said: "Slow down this journey and slowly wear away his pride. In this way, after arriving in Korea, he will naturally become less aggressive."

"Do you think that's anger?"

"If you kill too many people, you will have a violent temper. I know this. Then Shen An kills people without any reason. His violent temper may soar into the sky."

"Idiot!" Jin Chengjun frowned and said, "That's confidence! If we delay, believe it or not, he will dare to turn around and go back!"

"That's not true. Emperor Song ordered him to go to Korea as an envoy. If he returns like this, wouldn't he be disobeying his order?"

"Shen An is the first person in Song Dynasty to do foreign affairs." Jin Chengjun sighed, "Your ideas will be as ridiculous as a villain in front of him. He will even get angry with someone and ask someone to deal with you."

The man muttered and then returned to his residence.

The next day everyone boarded the ship. After several days of sailing, when they saw land, Su Shi also saw a group of people playing and playing on the shore.

"Anbei! It seems he welcomes us."

Shen An had changed into official uniform and looked quite majestic. But in Su Shi's eyes, this guy is a scheming trickster who specializes in tricking people.

"who?"

He raised his binoculars and saw a group of officials and a band behind them.

It was said to be a band, because there were many people playing and playing music, which made Shen An inexplicably think of some movie scenes, very old historical scenes.

The sound of music gradually came, Jin Chengjun came over, cupped his hands and said: "The things in Duke Shen's hands are very exquisite."

After asking this question, Shen An should tell him what it is. Because of the friendly nature of this trip, it is not a problem for Jin Chengjun to see it.

Shen An put away the telescope and said to Su Shi: "Tell them to get ready to disembark."

Jin Chengjun is still waiting.

Su Shi glanced at him and felt that this guy was really unlucky.

Shen An just stood there, looking ahead to himself, and even humming.

Later the members of the mission came out.

There was an official accompanying him named Yang Jianqiang. He was over fifty this year and had gray hair and beard. Zhao Shu specially asked him to accompany Shen An on the mission, just to have someone to dissuade Shen An when he was so bold.

Zhao Shu knew about Shen An's urinary nature, and ordinary people couldn't stop it. But this guy still respects his elders, so he used an old man to deal with him.

Huang Chun followed with thirty rural soldiers, all in plain clothes.

Later, the warship docked and the people there came to greet it.

Jin Chengjun has been being ignored by Shen An. At this moment, he just feels that he is a loser and really wants to curse.

He swore that he had never been ignored like this before, so he whispered: "What does he think of me?"

An accompanying official was also thinking about this issue. He just thought of a possibility and blurted out: "Portrait on the wall!"

Keep it!

Jin Chengjun thought of Shen An's look and felt that this metaphor was so appropriate.

Portraits that can be hung on the wall...

It seems that only the dead are hung on the wall, right?

He felt very uncomfortable, and at this time he had to step forward to guide and introduce.

Because the Song Dynasty warship was tall and the dock was not well prepared, two ladders were prepared.

Everyone slowly descended the ladder, and the official who greeted them said: "I'll have someone pile soil here later, so that I can go up and down easily."

"Yes, Yang Shangshu."

The official looked thin and squinted slightly, showing peace.

Jin Chengjun came down first and stood below waiting for Shen An to come down so he could introduce himself.

He stretched out his hand and said, "This is Duke Yan of the Great Song Dynasty, Shen..."

Before he finished speaking, Huang Chun came down first, and then the village soldiers followed him one by one.

Jin Chengjun was very embarrassed. When all the soldiers came down, he introduced him again, "This is Duke Yan of the Song Dynasty, Shen..."

Su Shi came down.

Jin Chengjun wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in, so as to avoid the discomfort of embarrassment and humiliation.

He was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to die, but Yang Chao, the Minister of Rites of Korea beside him, said with a smile: "This is..."

Jin Chengjun endured the shame and introduced: "This is the censor Su Shi."

Yang Chao's eyes lit up, he cupped his hands and said, "But Mr. Zizhan?"

Su Shi was stunned, and then he handed it over as a matter of course, "It's Su."

His behavior was natural and unrestrained, making Yang Chao couldn't help but praise: "He is indeed Su Xian."

After Shen An said the nickname Su Xian, some people refuted it one after another, but more people recognized Su Shi's literary talent.

From this moment on, this man suppressed the East Asian literary world for hundreds of years, and no one could match him.

Su Shi just nodded lightly, not feeling proud that his literary name had spread to Goryeo.

He took it all for granted.

But in the eyes of the Korean people, this matter of course has turned into calmness and indifference.

Why!

It is indeed Su Xian!

Yang Chao looked past Su Shi, and Shen An happened to be walking down at this moment.

He came over and said with a smile: "But Duke Shen?"

Shen An nodded, "It's Shen."

Yang Chao handed over his hand and said, "I am the Minister of Rites, Yang Chao."

The two exchanged pleasantries, then got on their horses and prepared to go to Xijing.

It's not far from Xijing, but we definitely won't be able to get there today.

The journey was mostly silent, and after reaching a town in the afternoon, the mission was settled.

The food here is pretty good, at least there is lamb.

The way several sea fish were cooked made Shen An feel very uncomfortable, so he asked for the raw materials to cook them himself.

"What can they do?"

A group of Koreans were talking outside.

Yang Chao snorted coldly when he saw this, but Jin Chengjun came out.

"How is Shen An?"

As the main official accompanying the Song Dynasty mission in Goryeo, Yang Chao needed to understand Shen An's nature.

Jin Chengjun thought of the humiliation he had suffered and said, "This person is arrogant and mean, and he doesn't follow the rules."

He has never seen anyone humiliate someone like this. If the other party was not Shen An, he would definitely take action.

"What an arrogant and mean person!" Yang Chao was thinking, "That's right. He was successful at a young age and excelled in both civil and military affairs. According to Zhongyuan, he is a genius that is rare to see in a hundred years. Such people are naturally qualified to be arrogant. UU Reading www .ukknn.net But what’s going on with being so mean?”

Kim Sung-jun said: "He shamelessly humiliated someone."

"That's it!"

Yang Chao looked slightly cold, "I will naturally be wary of this."

After speaking out those grievances, Jin Chengjun felt comfortable.

Many times, people feel uncomfortable when they are bored. After finding someone to talk to, the whole person feels much better.

It's like throwing away garbage. If you have garbage in your body, throw it at others. It feels so comfortable!

Jin Chengjun felt that he had just thrown away garbage.

But who knows?

He was a little proud.

"smell good!"

At this time, the fragrance came from inside, and the Koreans staying nearby couldn't help but sniff and praise.

"Can this sea fish still taste like this?"

"Then Duke Shen is the God of Cooking, right?"

"It was Duke Shen who made stir-fried vegetables."

"I see!"

A person suddenly came out, but it was Huang Chun. He came forward and handed over his hand, "My husband has made some side dishes and invited Yang Shangshu to join us."

Huh!

Isn't this right?

After Yang Chao heard Jin Chengjun's views on Shen An, he became more vigilant and prepared to be neither humble nor overbearing.

But Shen An actually invited him to have a drink, which was obviously showing goodwill.

To go or not to go?

This is a problem.

Don't look like a small family.

But if he goes, he is the master, sorry!

No matter where it is, there is no reason to treat guests.

But what he was even more happy about was Shen An's attitude, which was very kind.

He glanced at Jin Chengjun and felt that this person's words were probably a little untrue.

Jin Chengjun wanted to cry but had no tears. He had killed Shen An three hundred times in his heart, and Shen An's death was different every time.
