A Great Man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 708: Rogue Shen An

After the rain, there was a smell of earth in the air. Some people call this smell earthy, while others call it earthy.

When Wang Yu opened his eyes, he felt that the light was too bright and he felt a little dizzy.

So he stretched out his hand to cover his eyes.

"How does it feel?"

"fine."

Shen An came in. He was wearing official uniform and looked more stable.

He reached out and touched Wang Yu's forehead and said, "The fever is gone. Ermei has made porridge for you. Remember to drink more water."

Wang Yu asked naturally: "Where are you going?"

Shen An turned around and opened the window and said, "The Xixia envoy is here. Chen Ang is not here. I'll go take a look."

Duting West Post, there is a group of sergeants outside at this moment.

The Xixia envoy and his people stood outside the gate, breathing the air after the rain, and praised: "Bianliang smells good."

The smell of Bianliang is delicious, with all kinds of delicious food and all kinds of fireworks.

"Wait for the edict to come."

Shen An arrived surrounded by officials from the Liyuan. The Xixia envoy came up to meet him and said, "I have seen him waiting for an edict."

Shen An stopped and asked, "What did Li Liangzuo send you to do?"

The messenger smiled and said: "Your Majesty asked someone to bring some good horses."

This is the tribute coming.

This is the situation between the Song Dynasty and Xixia. There is a war in the northwest, and the two sides are beating people's brains into dog brains. But while fighting, the Xixia people will send envoys to send gifts, and the Song Dynasty will return gifts.

In other words, the two families were fighting while singing the praises of friendship and peace.

Most future generations will not be able to do this kind of thing.

Shen An had already seen dozens of horses before coming here, and they were considered good horses. But for the Song Dynasty, this war horse was of no use at all.

"Too little."

Shen An stood outside the gate like a gangster, with his head slightly raised, except for the whip in his hand.

"You are not sincere, dozens of horses, what kind of gift is this?"

The messenger smiled dryly and said: "There used to be so many."

Isn't that what giving gifts to the Song Dynasty is all about? It's just a pretense, to satisfy the vanity of the people of the Song Dynasty who came from all over the world to come to court, and then return home with generous gifts in return.

Every mission was an opportunity to catch the autumn wind. Xixia was poor and poor families had no food left, so the frequency of envoys coming and going was somewhat high.

But what kind of gift are dozens of horses?

Shen An felt that he could not get used to the Xixia people's habit of fighting the autumn wind.

"But now the rules have changed."

Shen An said coldly: "The Song Dynasty doesn't need your war horses, take them back."

The envoy felt that Shen An was joking, "As for the imperial edict, the Song Dynasty needs war horses, otherwise the Liao cavalry will be able to cross the Baigou River."

Baigouhe was in Xiongzhou, and the envoy specifically mentioned it, explaining that he had done his homework before coming and knew the origin of Shen An.

Son of Shen Bian; fanatical supporter of the Northern Expedition.

"We need war horses, but we don't need war horses delivered to our door."

Shen An snapped his fingers, and Huahua ran over from behind and squatted at his feet.

Huahua was also caught in the rain yesterday. Shen An was worried about it getting cold, so she took it out for a walk.

The combination of one person and one dog is very harmonious and there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Shen An stared at the envoy, "Don't try to fool people. If the Song Dynasty needs war horses, a certain person will go and get them in person, just like he did in Fuzhou, just like he did in Yuanzhou, killing his opponents and seizing their horses. , this is what the Song Dynasty should do."

The envoy felt a cold breath coming towards his face. He smiled and said, "I would like to see His Majesty the Emperor of Song Dynasty."

"Your Majesty will not see you."

Shen An said very firmly: "If someone comes here, it means that you will not get any advantage this time, so if you have something to say, just say it, and if you don't have anything to say, go back."

The envoy did not believe it. He said: "Your Majesty said before leaving, that our country and the Song Dynasty are as close as brothers. Now..."

"No brothers!"

Shen An's words cut off anyone's path as soon as he opened his mouth: "In Song Dynasty and Xixia, one is a parent and the other is a rebellious child. They have nothing to do with brothers."

If the superficial peace between the Song Dynasty and Xixia was the emperor's new clothes, then Shen An's words directly exposed the fact that both sides were running away.

The officials in the ceremonial room lowered their heads and smiled. They knew that this waiter never acted according to common sense.

Xixia people are going to cry.

The veins on the messenger's neck popped, and a follower behind him shouted: "Let someone kill him!"

This is like a confrontation between gangsters, and suddenly someone is clamoring to hack you to death.

Most of this clamor was verbal, but Shen An smiled and walked straight over.

The attendant sneered when he saw him coming. This is outside the post house. Even if he breaks the unspoken rules, Zhao Shu will not be able to save Shen An, otherwise the Liao people will beat up the Song envoy next time.

Shen An walked over and said with a smile, "Is this what you're saying?"

The interpreter spoke, and the attendant nodded, and then waited.

Shen An smiled, suddenly reached out and patted his face, and said, "You are very courageous. I like warriors like these the most."

Slapping someone on the cheek carries a strong flavor of humiliation no matter in which era.

The attendant's face turned red, his fists were clenched, and if the anger in his eyes could kill, Shen An would have died countless times at this moment.

"Please come in and meet me when the order comes."

The envoy was worried that his entourage would take action, so he quickly invited Shen An in with a smile.

After entering the post house, the two parties sat down opposite each other.

The atmosphere was not good, and Shen An, as the host, was very immoral and silent.

If the host doesn’t speak, what does the guest say?

The envoy held it in for a long time before saying: "The Liao people have been in civil strife..."

This was a good topic. Shen An asked: "What? Is Li Liangzuo interested in joining forces with the Song Dynasty to beat up Yelu Hongji?"

The envoy looked around, and Shen An said: "No need to look, someone's ambition is the Northern Expedition, and the Liao people know this."

The messenger nodded and said, "Here comes someone!"

Amidst the sound of subtle footsteps, two women came in from outside.

The envoy said: "These two people were carefully selected from the country and are ready to be presented to His Majesty the Song Emperor. Come on, raise your head."

The two women raised their heads. Although they were not shy, they were still pretty and charming. The key was that they had a different temperament from the women of the Song Dynasty, which made people feel a little hot.

But the woman who was going to be dedicated to Zhao Shu actually showed up at this moment, which seemed to be insufficient sincerity.

Shen An put his hands on the edge of the table, turned his eyes, and praised: "She looks good, but her figure is not good."

The two women had probably learned the language of the Song Dynasty. After hearing this, they looked at Shen An, somewhat unconvinced.

Shen An leaned back slightly and commented with a veteran attitude: "The breast on the left is too small. If Shen is right, one side is bigger and the other is smaller. It's unbalanced!"

The woman's face turned red and she was angry, but she could only hold on.

Shen An's eyes turned to the woman on the right, suddenly whistled, and said like a gangster: "This is not bad, with a good figure, but it's a little bow-legged, tsk tsk! Do you know a famous saying?"

He touched the head of Huahua next to him and said in the tone of an experienced driver: "A woman lives on her legs. She has a pair of long legs. Long legs... You should understand, right? Then she is born half a beauty."

He said regretfully: "No, the officials won't accept it, take it back."

The envoy was already shocked by his words, thinking that this man was actually a master?

"Didn't you say that you should be devoted to the imperial edict?"

Rumor has it that Shen An was as private as a jade before marriage, and even more devoted after marriage. He even refused to go to a brothel after his wife became pregnant, which can be called a strange thing among men.

"Let's go back!"

Shen An came here to cause trouble today, so after beating the Xixia people, he stood up and said: "Li Liangzuo fled in a hurry during the battle in Yuanzhou. Now he wants to come to please the Song Dynasty, but it is too late. Everyone, go back. Go back and tell Li Liangzuo to stop causing trouble."

These words were ridiculing, and the attendant who had been slapped in the face by Shen An stood up again and shouted: "Do the people of Song Dynasty dare to humiliate His Majesty?"

Shen An walked over slowly, Huahua followed on the right.

This is a quiet room, and there are people from both countries outside.

The entourage sneered and was on guard. As long as Shen An dared to take action, he would dare to fight back.

Shen An walked in front of him. The entourage was on guard when he suddenly felt a pain in his thigh, and was kicked out by Shen An.

Huahua still had the rag in her mouth, lowered her head and pulled it off with her paws, and then followed Shen An out of the room.

The envoy stood up and saw that the attendant's thigh was bitten bloody by Huahua, and Shen An was kicked in the lower abdomen. His intestines were probably uncomfortable, and he was holding his stomach and screaming.

He chased after him and said: "As for the imperial edict, the battle field must be opened, otherwise your Majesty will not hesitate to surrender to the Liao people and attack you from the north and northwest together. Can you be stopped?"

"Would you like to know if you try it?"

Shen An dropped these words and left the inn, reading a book www. uukanshu. nettthen entered the palace.

After Zhao Shu heard what he said about the negotiation process with the Xixia envoy, he frowned and said, "Is Li Liangzuo panicking?"

Han Qi said: "Li Liangzuo was confident. He felt that the Liao people were on his side, so the Song Dynasty did not dare to attack them with all its strength."

"But Xixia is very poor. The Song Dynasty has no business. It is said that they don't even have enough clothes for the army."

A smile that did not suit his identity appeared on Zeng Gongliang's face. Shen An rubbed his eyes to make sure that he had read it correctly. He was vulgar.

"Li Liangzuo is anxious." Zeng Gongliang analyzed proudly: "The big defeat outside Yuanzhou City made the Xixia people anxious. Li Liangzuo was already in an unstable position, and these enemies are getting proud again. Li Liangzuo is in trouble both internally and externally. , sending an envoy to express your good will at this moment is proof. Your Majesty, please send an envoy to warn Li Liangzuo. Li Liangzuo will have his teeth knocked out and blood swallowed this time. I am willing to go. If I can't tell Li Liangzuo to vomit blood, I will not come back. "

The old guy is very rogue, but his judgment is very accurate.

There must be undercurrents surging in Xixia at this moment. Li Liangzuo had to worry a lot to appease the dissatisfied nobles and suppress those enemies.

"It's not easy for a young man to control Xixia like this."

Shen An's words were recognized by Zhao Shu, "Don't underestimate your opponent. Shen An has given the Xixia people a mark of power this time. I won't care about what happens next..."

Han Qi said: "Such trivial matters are beyond your control. It's enough for Shen An to step in."

Zhao Shu smiled and said: "In this case, I won't see him."

Shen Anxin accepted the meeting and said: "I will make arrangements for the follow-up."

The king and his ministers looked at each other and then laughed.

There was a hint of treachery in the laughter, which made Chen Zhongheng shrink back, feeling that since the addition of Shen An, the smell of this court has become even more wrong.

The third update is here, good night.
