This time Shen Ao had lunch, and Zhou Zheng asked him to go to the study and asked: "It is said that the official family has made you a messenger and interfered in Song Liao's foreign affairs?" ”

Shen Ao nodded yes.

Zhou Zheng sighed, speechless, today's Son of Heaven and the previous emperors are different, His Majesty only looks at relatives and relatives, gets the Holy Favor, can be a captain who plays football, and personally set up a Taishi to let Cai Jing take charge of court affairs, eunuchs can lead the army, can open the palace, this is an unprecedented thing.

Shen Ao, as a bachelor in the Academy of Calligraphy and Painting, asked him to send Liao State affairs, which was really happy and worried, and taught Zhou Zheng to sigh.

Liu Wen hurriedly came and said, "Young Master Cousin, Yang Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wu Wencai, the main guest of the Ministry of Rites, ask to see you." ”

Wu Wencai? Shen Ao remembered this person, and he was still the father of his classmate, so he said to Zhou Zheng: "Uncle, I'm going to meet guests." ”

Zhou Zheng waved his hand and picked up a book to read, but he seemed a little absent-minded.

When he arrived at the main hall, Shen Ao had just crossed the threshold, and he saw Yang Zhen and Wu Wencai in a hurry...... Shen Qin is bad, it's a big deal......"

Shen Ao sat down for a long time, asked people to serve tea, and took a slow sip of tea before saying, "The two adults don't need to panic, if there is anything, just say it." ”

Yang Zhen said angrily: "Now that the Liao envoy has released the news, if they don't give them a satisfactory explanation within three days, the two countries will meet each other, Shen Qincha, do you have to provoke disputes between the two countries before you stop?" Once this sword soldier moves, the border will definitely be on fire everywhere, the father will kill his son, the son will lose his father and brother, let me tell you the truth, the treasury has been empty in recent years, if you really want to go to war, you are my sinner in the Song Dynasty. ”

Shen Ao smiled and said, "Lord Yang doesn't need to be angry, haven't the Khitans not declared war yet?" In my opinion, they are just scaring us, and the more this happens, the less we can show weakness. ”

Yang Zhen was even more angry, and said: "Hmph, what are these words, people have threatened to use troops, and Qin Cha is still so sluggish, it is really to the point of no return, see how you end up!" ”

Yang Zhen said that, brushed his sleeves and was about to leave, Wu Wencai hurriedly grabbed Yang Zhen and said: "Lord Yang is angry, angry, Shen Qin is full of wisdom, he must have other ideas, why don't you listen to him finish speaking?" ”

Yang Zhen said angrily: "What's there to hear, let him mess around." I didn't want to stay any longer, so I left in a huff.

Wu Wencai smiled bitterly at Shen Ao and said, "Shen Qincha, the next step, are we going to negotiate with the Liao?" ”

Shen Ao sneered: "Business fart, release the news, the Liao people are going to war, great, he wants to fight, we will accompany to the end, I want to see why they are going to war." ”

Wu Wencai was so frightened that he didn't dare to make a sound, thinking in his heart, let these words out, according to the strength of the Liao people, this battle may be inevitable! It's just that he is more tactful, and he doesn't refute Shen Ao face-to-face, and slowly induces: "Shen Qincha, Your Majesty also means that peace can be discussed, and you can't use troops in vain." ”

Shen Ao said: "Lord Wu doesn't understand, you can't win peace by regressing, hey, don't talk about these things, wait for the news." ”

……………………………………………… Yelu Zhengde shouted for a while, but no one paid attention to it, until this time, he was a little panicked, the Great Song Dynasty changed too fast, so he didn't expect it, behind this, is there something wrong?

Now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, the big words have been put down, and the period of three days is coming in a blink of an eye, and when the time comes, will your envoy really return to China?

Thinking about it, Yelu Zhengde's calm and calm bearing could no longer be pretended, so he immediately asked people to go out and inquire around, and went to find some pro-Liao Song Dynasty officials to promise benefits and let them mediate.

But most of the news is scattered, and when it comes to it, it still goes around this Shen Ao.

This Shen Ao, what kind of mystery is he doing, could it be that this southerner, is he really not afraid of Da Liao? Yelu Zhengde had a secret discussion with Mr. Wang, and on the third day, he made up his mind to visit him in person, and he wanted to meet this Shen Qincha for a while.

When the night, Yelu Zhengde prepared a gift, and asked people to go to the Zhou Mansion first to hand over the name post, dressed up, only with two cronies of the warriors, will arrive at the Zhou Mansion with Mr. Wang, Menzi saw that it was the Liao people, and he was a little panicked for a while, and quickly went in to report, and when Menzi came out, he said: "My young master said that the envoy of the Liao State, he has not heard of it, and the young master also said that he is a scholar, and he is most afraid of seeing the living, so please go back." ”

Yelu Zhengde snorted coldly and suppressed his anger; Mr. Wang, who was on the side, pulled the door aside awkwardly, stuffed a piece of silver into his hand, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lao went in again to report, and said that the envoy had important matters to discuss, and he was very much looking forward to meeting Shen Gongzi." ”

Menzi was very embarrassed and said, "Actually, my young master is meeting guests now, and you are only afraid to wait." ”

"Visitors? What kind of guests will be? Yelu Zhengde's face became more and more ugly, he came with a dignified envoy from the Liao State, what kind of guest was so important, that this Shen Ao wanted to hang himself aside.

Menzi glanced at the silver in his hand, didn't think much about it, and said: "That looks like you Khitans, mysterious ......."

Look like a Khitan? Yelu Zhengde's eyes flashed with a hint of suspicion, there is only one envoy in the Khitan, could it be a Khitan businessman? No, it can't be, are the Khitan merchants more noble than my envoy? Could it be ...... Yelu Zhengde suddenly thought of the worst possibility, and unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat, and involuntarily shivered in this warm sky, gritted his teeth and said: "Go in, as a Khitan envoy, where is the reason to wait by the side." Come, rush in with me. ”

The two warriors behind him made a promise, and as Yelu Zhengde rushed in, the door couldn't stop him, so he grabbed Mr. Wang and said, "You...... What are you going to do, this is a private house, this is the palace of the Prayer Kingdom, are you going to rebel? ”

"Rebellion?" Mr. Wang sneered disdainfully and said: "We are Khitan envoys, why do we have any rebellion, get out of the way!" ”

Yelu Zhengde led people to rampage in the mansion like headless flies, and a few subordinates came to stop them, and when they saw that the Khitan warrior pulled out their swords, they didn't dare to stop it anymore, so they had to follow from a distance, and let people guard the entrance of the inner courtyard, so as not to let them disturb the female dependents.

Yelu Zhengdra came to a person, and then asked, "Tell me quickly, where is Shen Ao?" ”

The subordinate was frightened, and pointed in a direction and said, "Meet the guests in the main hall...... Plentiful...... Spare ......"

Hum! Yelu Zhengde let go of him, quickened his pace, and hurried to the main hall, the building of the main hall is majestic, it is the best to recognize, stepping into the threshold, Yelu Zhengde said in a loud voice: "Shen Gongzi, the contemptible Liao envoy Yelu Zhengde bows, where the rudeness is made, look at Haihan." His eyes immediately roamed the hall, hoping to see what kind of guest this Shen Ao would be.

To Yelu Zhengde's disappointment, there was only a handsome young man in this hall who was drinking tea slowly, as for the mysterious guest, who was gone, but in Shen Ao's case, there happened to be an unfinished cup of tea, presumably this guest had just left.

He was a little disappointed in his heart, and looked Shen Ao up and down, Shen Ao was very young, so young that he couldn't believe it, he was wearing a civilian clothes, it was difficult to hide the nobility on his body, no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a noble son of a southerner, but he couldn't get along with Qincha.

Yelu Zhengde sneered in his heart: "As early as when I was in the north, I heard that the lord of the southerners was absurd with silver, and he believed in destroying the villain, kicked the horse in charge of the army, and castrated the eunuch town border pass, but I didn't expect to call a hairy boy to negotiate foreign affairs." ”

Yelu Zhengde glanced at Shen Ao with disdain, and without waiting for Shen Ao to be polite, he sat down loudly, with tiger eyes, and said viciously: "You southerners all say that you are a state of etiquette, and Gongzi is a Qincha of your country, why are you so slow to be a guest?" ”

Shen Ao didn't seem to care about Yelu Zhengde's sudden arrival, smiled slightly, and also looked at Yelu Zhengde, this Yelu Zhengde looked like a martial artist, but this rhetoric, I'm afraid it's not just a martial artist.

Shen said arrogantly: "The envoy really understands the principle of preemptive strike, obviously you broke into a private house with a rudeness, but blamed the student for being rude, is it too much." ”

At this time, Mr. Wang stepped in and said with a smile: "No matter what, it is always Shen Qincha who is rude first." ”

Shen Ao glanced at Mr. Wang and asked quietly, "Dare to ask who this gentleman is?" ”

Mr. Wang said: "The student's surname is Wang, and the single name is a righteous character. ”

Shen Ao sneered: "I also said that Mr. Dao's surname is Yelu, and I still know that my surname is Wang." ”

This sentence was sarcastic for Wang Yi betraying his ancestors and forgetting his ancestors, but Wang Yi only smiled and didn't care.

The face is so thick, this is the real person, shameless is invincible! Shen Ao sighed in his heart, and said straight to the point: "I don't know if the envoy is visiting, is there anything wrong?" ”

Yelu Zhengde said: "Since it is the matter of the high marquis beating me and my servants, we are the envoys of the state, and you southerners have added fists and feet, what is the reason?" If you don't give me an explanation, hum, I'm afraid that it will be detrimental to the diplomatic relations between the two countries. ”

Hey, this international friend is really good at reversing black and white, obviously they made the first move, and they were so arrogant when they lost. Shen Ao coughed: "I don't know what kind of disadvantage it will be." ”

Yelu Zhengde saw that Shen Ao was a hairy boy, where did he put Shen Ao in his eyes, and said viciously: "At least the two countries will cut off exchanges, or at worst, they will face each other with knives and axes, Shen Qincha has to think clearly." ”

Shen Ao smiled, finally got to the point, oh, and said with a casual look: "The envoy of the country is angry, some trivial things, how can you say that you will break off diplomatic relations?" You know, our Great Song Dynasty has always been kind to our neighbors. ”

Yelu Zhengde sneered: "Then hand over the murderer and increase the coins, otherwise we will not give up." ”

Shen Ao took a sip of tea: "Yes, yes, yes, the murderer, we have already punished it, and Ben Qin sent down the Shanggaohou in person." As for the New Year's coin, hehe, it's easy to say, but this New Year's coin can't be raised for a while. It's better to do this, the envoy of Yelu will make a hard trip, go back and tell your lord, and say that the New Year's coin of the Great Song Dynasty has been promised to the golden people, and if you want to take it, go and get it yourself. Liao has a million soldiers, it is the first power in the north, the Jin people are just a small barbarian, with the tiger power of the Liao army, the Jin people must be captured, and then don't say that it is an increase of 800,000 silver coins, that is, again, our Great Song Dynasty gritted his teeth, and he also had to raise it to ask your country to laugh. ”
