Chapter 248: You Can't Miss Song
After discussing Fan Yu's secret document here, Lu Yijian took out another document, but it was Duan Shaolian.
"Official, there is also a book of this chapter on Duan Shaolian, please take a look at it." Lu Yijian said quietly.
Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, let Chen Lin take it, and put it in front of him.
As soon as he opened Duan Shaolian's paperwork, he only glanced at it, and his face became a little ugly.
"Lu Qing, have you ever read this document from Duan Shaolian." Zhao Zhen asked with a cold face.
Lu Yijian hurriedly bowed down and said, "The minister has naturally read it, Duan Shaolian's documents are mostly speculations, and they are not accurate. ”
Zhao Zhen sneered twice before he said: "It's not just that he is not accurate, he went to the Liao State this time, but as a righteous envoy, he has made no achievements." If you don't make achievements, you just can't do it, and you have repeatedly hindered An Lehou. withheld the grain and grass to protect the grain, causing the Divine Guard to almost mutinied. When he arrived in Liao, in the face of the monarchs and ministers of Liao, he failed to show the backbone of the envoy. On the contrary, An Lehou did everything solidly along the way and set things right. Under the provocation of the emperor's younger brother of the Liao State, he can also make the sentence of 'a warm blood, diligent and cherished, and sprinkled it can still be exchanged for Bitao'. Xiao Hui, the prime minister of the Liao State, put pressure on An Lehou in every possible way, wanting to make him loosen his mouth about Guannan and the New Year's coin, which is close to house arrest. But it was still An Lehou who was tenacious and unyielding, and sternly refused. Now he contacted the mother department to discuss the purchase of horses, and also poked out the matter of Li Yuanhao of Western Xia wanting to be the emperor. How could such people collude with the Liao State? ”
"I think it's clear that Duan Shaolian is jealous of Xian. Inflict the sins of others in order to cover up their own incompetence. There are more failures than successes. In the end, Zhao Zhen was extremely disappointed and threw Duan Shaolian's documents aside, sighed and said: "Lu Qing, your political affairs hall has drawn up a charter to demote an incompetent and jealous person like Duan Shaolian to Lingnan, I don't want to see this person again." ”
The Imperial City Division of the Great Song Dynasty is not a dry eater, and the internal and external news is very well-informed. Otherwise, the officials would not have known about these things.
Lu Yijian originally thought that the official family would ask him for his opinion. didn't expect that the official family had several Duan Shaolian's wrongs, but in the end, they directly asked their political affairs hall to denigrate Duan Shaolian to Lingnan.
This situation is very rare, especially for officials. But Lu Yijian also saw from here how angry the official family was.
"Obey." Lu Yijian nodded in response, "Don't be angry with the official family for this, I have many officials in the Great Song Dynasty, and it is inevitable that there will be a few incompetent people." If you know that it is not ladylike, you can depreciate it. If he can understand the people's sufferings in the local area and temper his ability to do things, it will be a good thing for him. ”
Zhao Zhen nodded, read Fan Yu's documents again, and then said: "Chen Lin, go and invite the three envoys and the privy envoys, I have something to discuss with them." ”
Lu Yijian hurriedly arched his hand and said: "If there is something in the official family, the minister can retire." ”
"Lu Qing, as the prime minister of my Great Song Dynasty, you also need to take charge of this matter." Zhao Zhen tapped his finger on the table and said, "It's about Ma Zheng and Xixia, the three of you have to coordinate before you can do things well." ”
A moment later, the privy envoy Wang Deyong and the third envoy Cheng Lin also came to the Chongzheng Palace.
After the two greeted Zhao Zhen, they waited for the order.
"Ask Wang Qing and He Qing to look at this document." Zhao Zhen nodded to Chen Lin and said.
Chen Lin didn't dare to slack off, stepped forward and held the document with both hands, and sent it to the privy envoy Wang Deyong.
Wang Deyong took it, unfolded it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Then his expression became extremely rich, sometimes showing joy, sometimes angry. After reading it, it was handed over to the third envoy Cheng Lin.
Cheng Lin's expression was also happy and worried, and it took a while to hand the documents back to Chen Lin.
"Wang Qing, you are the privy envoy. What do you think of the two things that An Lehou is referring to. Zhao Zhen asked.
"The minister thinks that if the mother department of Basi can really sell horses and my Great Song, it would be the best." Wang Deyong pondered for a moment, and then continued: "As for Li Yuanhao's statement that he wants to be called emperor, the minister thinks that he can wait and see what happens and step up the defense in the northwest. If the imperial court uses troops, it is enough to make the offense and defense calm. As for the Volcano Army deal at the junction of Song and Liao, this is not a problem. It would be best if the land could be handed over to the border army and the cavalry army could be reorganized. ”
Zhao Zhen nodded, and then looked at Cheng Lin, "Cheng Qing, do you have any suggestions?" ”
"The minister is the third envoy, in charge of logistics and financial affairs." Cheng Lin bowed down and said: "The minister thinks that one tribe in the mother district of Naba Si is not enough for my Great Song War Horse." And if Li Yuanhao of Western Xia really has the ambition to be the emperor, he will be more and more deferential at this time. If you take the opportunity to ask the Western Xia to sell horses and my Great Song Dynasty, if you can agree, then my Great Song cavalry can be strong. If you don't agree, you won't lose anything. From here, you can also test the attitude of Western Xia, why not do it. ”
"Cheng Qing's words are very reasonable." Zhao Zhen's eyes couldn't help but light up, if he fought the autumn wind from Xixia at this time, it would not be impossible, this was a good idea.
Lu Yijian bowed slightly and said, "Official, then Li Yuanhao has a perverse temperament, and he can't be reasonable." If the purchase of horses from Western Xia is not allowed, it does not represent its true attitude. I, the Northwest Frontier Army of the Great Song Dynasty, still have to make plans early. ”
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Lu ruthless old man is seeking the country, it should be like this." An Lehou's paperwork, everyone has read it. What he said involved a confidential Gaimo spread. Don't dismiss the three families, remember it. ”
The three ministers bowed their hands to Zhao Zhen at the same time and said, "The ministers remember." ”
In the days before Fan Yu returned to Bianliang, the Great Song Dynasty began to prepare.
After nearly ten days of travel, Fan Yu and his team finally crossed the Yellow River, and they saw the tall Bianliang city wall in the distance.
The scale of Bianliang is the size of four Nanjing cities, which makes Guo Xi, the shopkeeper who came with Fan Yu and them, very surprised.
As a businessman, Guo Xi naturally knows that such a large city represents a huge amount of wealth and business opportunities. It seems that this time the imperial brother and An Lehou joined forces, and this move was the right move. If there is no war between Song and Liao, the money that will come to hand will be a sea of gold and silver.
When Fan Yu was still more than ten miles away from Bianliang, he sent Yang Wenguang to communicate with the forbidden army. and asked Wang Xiaoding to go to Sweet Water Lane in the city to inform Zhou Feng, as well as Xu Dang, who will be the prisoner, and prepare to receive the goods.
When everything is handed over, it is already dusk.
In addition to the envoys entering the city, most of the herdsmen brought by Guo Xi could only camp outside the city and accept the supervision of the forbidden army.
This is also a helpless thing, after all, those cattle and sheep can't be driven to Bianliang City at will. Immediately there will be a few streets in the city.
Only Guo Xi and those guys can escort high-value goods such as ginseng pearls into the city.
Fortunately, Zhou Feng was reliable, helped Guo Xi contact in the outer city, and rented a house with a large area, so that he could settle down.
When Fan Yu returned to his mansion, he found that there were only a few servants left in the mansion to guard, and the rest of them had returned to the palace with Princess Huanyu.
It was not early, and Fan Yu did not send anyone to the palace to inform him, so he planned to spend the night.
Who knew that not long after falling asleep, someone lifted the quilt. Fan Yu opened his eyes and saw that Princess Huanyu had returned.
"When you came back, you didn't send anyone to tell me, but you still have me in your eyes. Mo is not a Liao women's bodybuilding, you can't think of Song. Although Princess Huanyu was reprimanded, her eyes were already moist.
"I see that it is not early, and the palace gate should have been locked, so it is not good to disturb the palace. In fact, in my heart, I think of you the most. Fan Yu got up and gently held Huanyu in his arms.
It has been a month and a half since he went back, and he has not been married for a few days, and he has been separated for such a long time, Fan Yu really feels that he owes the princess.
