Chapter 599: Shang Fang's Sword

Li Yong's letter of state was handed over, but it had an unexpected effect, the envoy of Western Xia was leaving, and the imperial court was no longer allowed to continue to delay time! When the court was discussing, Shen Ao was also in the class, thinking that it was too peaceful today, and he was thinking about waiting to go to the martial arts academy to grind for a day, but who knew that Zhao Ji was sitting on the golden palace and said with a calm face: "Shen Ao, come out." Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info[]"

Shen Ao had no choice but to stand up and say loudly: "Your Majesty......"

Zhao Ji said: "As the secretary of Honglu Temple, but he treats the envoy so slowly, can he be guilty?" ”

There was an uproar in the martial arts hall immediately, no one could have imagined that His Majesty would use this to discipline Shen Ao, many people thought in their hearts, could it be that the official family wanted to revoke Shen Ao's arrogance under the pretext of a pretext? Or for the sake of checks and balances, you want to use the excuse to let Shen Ao plant a heel?

It was when he was thinking wildly, Zhao You continued: "The princess of the Western Xia Kingdom got married, and the princes of various countries were happy, and although Song and Western Xia were nervous on Chinese New Year's Eve, they could not restrain the envoys. The etiquette that should be fulfilled, the Honglu Temple still has to do enough, and it will never be abandoned, let alone neglected. Zhao Ji raised his eyes, and then looked at Yang Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and said, "Yang Aiqing, what's the matter?" ”

Yang Zhen said: "What Your Majesty said is very true, the ministers heard that the envoys of the Western Xia were sent to various countries, and the countries gladly sent their princes to the Western Xia to intervene in this grand event. I can't resist the Chinese New Year's Eve, no matter what, I should also send a personal candidate. ”

Yang Zhen and Shen Ao have no personal grudges, but they are not used to seeing them in official affairs, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple have the responsibility of welcoming foreign envoys, Shen Ao is good, he acts completely according to his own will, and has overturned the foreign affairs and national policies of the past hundred years, and has not been polite to those envoys at all, which is really unreasonable in Yang Zhen's opinion.

Zhao Jilang said: "Yang Aiqing's words are the words of seeking the country, and I have long had this intention. Then he looked at Shen Ao and said, "Shen Ao, it is also a book, you should read more about the affairs of the sages and think about it." ”

When announcing his retirement from the dynasty, Zhao Ji left Shen Ao behind, this time leaving him on the side of the martial arts hall, Yang Jian poured tea for Zhao Ji, Zhao Ji took a sip, and said casually: "What? I just taught, I didn't think so? ”

Shen Ao said in a coping manner: "Your Majesty's words are as beautiful as nectar poured into the heart, which is thought-provoking. ”

Zhao Ji smiled faintly and said: "Okay, I will suffer this slander, but the affairs of the Western Xia Kingdom, I still have to do it." ”

Shen Ao was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen is actually not a prince. ”

Zhao Ji shook his head and said, "It's the king of the county, what's the matter?" The Xixia Kingdom only wants to be lively, but it doesn't really care about the identity. ”

Shen Ao is unwilling to go to Western Xia, the kind of place where birds don't, according to the wind and sand Chinese New Year's Eve, it seems that it is about to enter winter, and the winter there is also extremely cold, and he is running around, which has made the ladies dissatisfied, and at this time to go to Western Xia, I must not know how many resentments.

Shen Ao said abruptly: "The minister already has so many wives, and if he brings a princess back, how can Weichen live?" He had a bitter face, his hands were in a pool, and he had a look of polygamy on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Zhao You said with a straight face: "This is the meaning of Shu, it is better not to bring back the princess of Western Xia, the most important thing is to destroy the marriage between the prince of Jin and the Western Xia people, the Empress Dowager's right is there, the ability to make the most Chinese New Year's Eve is to make good things into bad things, and bad things into worse things." ”

Shen Ao was stunned for a moment, thinking in his heart, why does the Chinese New Year's Eve family think of me like this? Am I so unwelcome? I was so sad and angry in my heart that I couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty is like this, how dare Weichen disobey his orders?" When I go to Western Xia, I must marry that princess back, and fight three times a day, which can be regarded as fighting for my Chinese New Year's Eve Song. ”

smiled at Zhao Ji, but Zhao Ji still had a straight face: "Is it funny?" ”

Shen Ao's smile immediately froze: "Isn't it funny?" ”

Zhao Ji shook his head and said: "The most trustworthy thing around me is that the marriage of Jinxia is a confidant Chinese New Year's Eve me Chinese New Year's Eve Song, if I don't restrain the destruction in the middle, I will regret it at that time." I entrust the whole country to the body, and I know that I will not refuse. ”

At this point, Shen Ao had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, Weichen has no choice but to give orders in danger." ”

Zhao Ji finally smiled and said, "This is Shen Ao, Shen Ao who is not afraid of heaven and earth." In fact, at the beginning, I couldn't think of a candidate, but then I went to Cai's Mansion to mess around like that, and I was thinking, if I was to be released to Western Xia, what would it be like? He couldn't help laughing: "Just let the Jin people and the Tangut people have a headache, but also remember that I can't tolerate any damage, and if there is danger, I will come back immediately." ”

Shen Ao bowed his head: "Weichen understands that the minister belongs to the rabbit and runs faster than others." ”

Zhao Ji said again: "The candidates for the envoy should be selected by themselves, and I will be accurate." There is another thing, there are rumors in the palace, is it because the Taishi is seriously ill? Hey, it's hard for him, being stirred up like this, even if he is not sick, he will be sick, and when he reaches this realm, he is still trying his best to maintain it in the province of Menxia, and my heart is clenched. But if he wants to go to Western Xia, there is no one available in the court, so he can only continue to maintain. ”

When he arrived at Cai Jing, Zhao Ji felt a little guilty at this time, and then said, "If you have the opportunity, go to Cai Mansion to visit." ”

Shen Ao smiled bitterly: "If Weichen really goes, I'm afraid that Taishi will really die." ”

Zhao Ji just shook his head and didn't speak. He smiled, changed the topic and said: "That party was ordered to treasure, I compared it with the holy decree seal of the former Tang Taizong period, and it is really the same, it can be regarded as a peerless treasure, and I also have tools to reward." Then, Zhao Ji glanced at Yang Jian.

Yang Jian was digesting the news that Shen Ao had gone to Western Xia as an envoy, and at this time he came back to his senses and immediately went out of the Martial Arts Palace, and after a full cup of tea, he sent a long box. Zhao Ji unveiled the long box, and a narrow sword was revealed, the sword was made of gold wire wrapped with green silk, and the hilt of the sword was inlaid with precious stones, and the colorful glass was revealed. Shen Ao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty, what kind of antiquity is this?" ”

Zhao Ji smiled and said: "It's not an antiquity, it was cast by my order, isn't it an allusion to Shang Fang's sword before the domain?" The name of this sword is the Shang Fang Sword, which I gave it today, and I wear it on my body to show me. ”

Shen Ao took out the sword from the box, played with it for a while, and then put it on his waist, showed it off, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, does this sword have the effect of punishing the ministers?" ”

Zhao Ji stiffened his face and gave him a sword, he really wanted to play the illusion of beheading the stunned king and beheading the minister, but at this time, he wanted to fool him into going to Western Xia, and he didn't want to reprimand him for talking nonsense, so he had to say: "You can behead the criminal officials below the fifth grade, and you can take it well." ”

Shen Ao felt disappointed on Chinese New Year's Eve, if he could really behead the courtiers, the first thing he did when he left the palace was to go to the Cai Mansion to see if Cai Jing was so angry. As for the criminal officials below the fifth rank, where do they still need to use the Shang Fang sword? Just slap to death, kill chickens with a knife?

It is also a Chinese New Year's Eve gift, at least it is still very deterrent to wear it out, although Shen Ao is a little disappointed, he can't help but be grateful, and said: "Your Majesty's grace, Weichen dare not forget." ”

Zhao Ji felt that his words were like words, so he said a bunch of good things before letting Shen Ao out of the palace.

When Shen Ao walked out of the Zhengde Gate, he felt as if he had a little Chinese New Year's Eve, and he took off Shang Fang's sword and played with it in his hand, and finally had some comfort. sighed, asked the forbidden army to bring the horse, straightened his waist towards the forbidden army who led the horse for him, put the sword at his waist in a conspicuous position, and said, "Do you know what kind of sword this is?" ”

The forbidden army was confused and said, "Please show the county king." ”

Shen Ao was full of spirit, and said with satisfaction: "This is Shang Fang Baojian, the upper beheading of the five-rank Chinese New Year's Eve, the lower beheading of the nine-pin county captain, out of the sheath to see blood, the world's first murder weapon, remember, don't go out, save the courtiers to know, all clamp their tails and be people." "I just secretly pray in my heart, brothers, but it must be a Chinese New Year's Eve mouth, and immediately spread the news.

After that, Shen Ao rode a horse and galloped out of the palace city with the guards who had been waiting for a long time at the palace gate. In fact, he was not in a hurry to go home first, but took people around the market a few times, bought a few horses of fine silk trafficked from Jiangnan, and then drove back with anxiety.

When he returned home, Shen Ao walked forward with his sword hanging, and the guards chased after him with silk fabrics.

When I returned to the back garden, I saw the ladies chatting in the pavilion to cover the shade, Shen Ao walked over quickly, and coughed a few times deliberately, but there was no news. After taking a few steps closer, he coughed violently again, but still did not respond.

It's weird, there is no reaction at all, the guards are following behind, where is this face to be placed?

Shen Aolang said, "I'm back." ”

The ladies turned their backs to him and were indifferent.

Shen Ao was even more uneasy in his heart, how could the news spread so quickly, no, no, be calm, be calm. He hung his courage and walked over quickly, and the five ladies over there looked back together and said together, "The husband is back." ”

Then they hugged each other and laughed, Shen Ao knew that he had been tricked, and immediately made a startled appearance: "Scared to death, scared to death." ”

Zhou Ruo was the first to see the silk fabric held by the guards, and said happily: "Today seems to be the sun coming out in the west, and the husband still remembers us outside." ”

The guards handed the fabric to Zhou Ruo and retreated. Women have a natural affection for fabrics, and they will review them together, this is better than who sent Shu brocade a few days ago, and the fabric is delicate, and you can cut dresses.

Shen Ao was hung aside, and said with a sense of indignation on Chinese New Year's Eve: "Although the husband is diligent in the king's affairs, he has always been thinking about you in his heart, and when he comes back today, there is a good thing and a bad thing to tell you, which one should you listen to first?" ”

Zhen Zhen Fox smiled charmingly: "Let's hear about the good things first." ”

Shen Ao stood up and said solemnly to the purpose of the palace: "My husband has won the grace of God, and is most trusted by Your Majesty, Your Majesty summoned me into the palace today, with kind words and comfort, and even more importantly, and gave Shang Fang a sword, beheading the unconscious officials and beheading the corrupt officials, is this good news?" ”

The corners of Zhou Ruo's mouth sneered, and said, "I should have heard his bad news first, and there is nothing good about it." ”

Shen Ao said: "It's not a bad thing, I've already done it just now, Your Majesty only trusts me, and those who can work hard, it's also a matter of no example, Chinese New Year's Eve the Jiangshan Sheji of the Song Dynasty, although His Majesty wants to sit and guard, but he also needs to have a capable person to send, this time the Western Xia State has something to do, Your Majesty has thousands of choices, and in the end I still feel that my husband is the most diligent and willing to work, so I ......"

When she heard that she was going to Western Xia, Tang Mo'er said worriedly: "Western Xia and Chinese New Year's Eve Song have never been on good terms, will it be dangerous for the husband to go?" ”

Shen Ao smiled and soothed: "If the two countries are at war without slashing each other, how can it be dangerous?" ”

After soothing it, seeing that the ladies suddenly became solemn, Shen Ao excused himself and said, "Why didn't Dong'er come?" Someone, go and call Sister Dong'er. ”

Dong'er came over slowly, looking a little restrained, Shen Ao beckoned to him and said, "Dong'er also came over to cut a piece of fabric to buy a dress." ”

Dong'er was stunned for a moment: "I'...... I also have ......"

Shen Ao said with a straight face: "Of course, this king's sister has it. ”

A smile bloomed on Dong'er's face, as beautiful as a lotus flower blooming at this time.
