Chapter 55: Fifty Miles Out of the City...... Welcome!
So our history books often look full of humiliation.
Who invaded today, who beat me tomorrow, and who beat him the day after tomorrow.
Then write a special book - the descendants of the Han family, don't forget the national shame! The ancestors are incompetent, and what they can't accomplish, you must do it, and you will be ashamed!
As for doing this kind of thing to others, there is nothing to praise about.
Gentlemen do not praise themselves.
So much so that when many future generations read these histories, they thought that a group of their ancestors would be beaten every day, and they were nothing.
Looking back at the history of the surrounding small countries, I was beaten every day to cry wolf, but I still haven't been beaten to death.
Those who were beaten to death were lying on their stomachs in the corners of the history books - on a certain day, a certain year, a certain month, and a certain general destroyed his country.
Then it suddenly dawned on me that this is the real history of blood and tears?!!
This is what Chen Qun, a group of backbone and slippery literati, can do and have been doing.
But when they do these things, they are not proud at all, but humiliated.
Just like now.
With Chen Qun's words, the council hall was silent for a long time!
Quite a few people even had red eyes.
Literati must have a backbone, it is difficult to say that this is because of humiliation and sadness, so it is better to remember the dear and beloved lovely Wen Shilang.
At this time, Song Yu suddenly spoke: "Chen Shangshu, I have an idea. ”
Chen Qun said: "Special envoy, please speak." ”
Song Yu looked serious: "We can't go out of the city for ten miles to greet us." ”
Chen Qun was stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile: "Originally, I thought so too, but Wen Shilang ...... Alas, it's all ready now, and if you change it again, I'm afraid it's too hasty in terms of time! ”
"No, I mean, when fifty miles out of the city...... Greetings can express sincerity! ”
As soon as Song Yu's words came out, everyone was stunned.
Chen Qun looked at him blankly, Envoy Song, what are you talking about? Are you sure you didn't say an extra "ten"?
Earlier, when you heard that you were greeted ten miles out of the city, you were already furious, and you scolded Wen Shilang to death......
Wake up, okay? The bones of Wen Shilang...... Uh, Wen Shilang hasn't completely swallowed his breath!
"Envoy Song, what do you mean?" Chen Qun really didn't understand what this young man meant.
"Let people dismantle it, what tent to prepare? Costly. The Northern Qi mission has come all the way, and it has taken several months before and after, and they will not sleep in the open without our tents. ”
Song Yu said lightly: "As for the matter of going out of the city fifty miles, this is the case, you see, Chen Shangshu, they are the suzerain, and they are the most honored guests of our Zhao Kingdom, if we follow the previous way of greeting, it is difficult to reflect the supreme respect for them, so I want to change the way......"
If it weren't for the previous sentence, Chen Qun really thought that he was blind and met a soft bone who was more servile than Wen Shilang.
The previous righteous and awe-inspiring scolding was just because of personal vendetta.
But now he only thinks that this young man in the wind of Yushu must not have a good fart in his stomach!
What does it mean that without our tents, they won't eat and sleep in the open?
Is this the tone of the treatment of VIPs?
He looked at Song Yu: "What does the envoy mean?" ”
Song Yu asked with a serious face: "A few days ago, I heard from the brothers of the War Character Section of the Demon Supervisor that the Ordnance Supervision of our Ministry of Industry has developed a new type of bed crossbow?" Can Chen Shangshu know about this? ”
Chen Qun: "......"
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, looking at Song Yu, his voice trembled a little: "Special envoy, don't be joking." ”
The other officials of the Ministry of Rites also had a tingling in their scalps.
Is this young envoy crazy?
You scolded a ceremonial waiter to death just an appetizer, and the main meal was waiting for this?
Are you sure that the bed crossbow, a big weapon for siege, can be used to "greet" the Northern Qi mission?
Song Yu glanced at everyone: "Why do you all have such expressions?" Am I not right? When a distinguished guest comes, shouldn't we bring out the best things to entertain? To show the beauty of a great country? ”
A Lang Zhong couldn't help but say, "Envoy Song, this joke can't be made!" ”
Song Yu said: "I'm not kidding! ”
There was silence.
Song Yu looked at everyone and explained very sincerely: "You must have misunderstood me, I just want to show it!" Truly, you believe me! Even if I haven't been in the Ministry of Rites, I know that the two countries will not fight each other, let alone be VIPs! How can I shoot them with a bed crossbow? That can't be! ”
Everyone looked suspicious, how do you feel that your eyes are lit up when you say "shoot them with a bed crossbow"?
Song Yu's expression was serious and sincere: "Imagine it, what do Qi people admire the most?" Is it a gentle woman in our Jiangnan water town? Is it the culture that the Han people are most proud of? Is it the etiquette of our Han family, which is as gentle as jade and graceful? I don't think so! ”
"What they advocate most is force!"
"Qi people have always admired force and don't like to be weak and weak...... We're going to do what we like, guys! ”
"Show them our most advanced weapons, that's the highest level of etiquette, okay?"
An official of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but ask, "So, how should we deal with what they ask us for?" ”
Song Yu was stunned: "Won't it?" Do they still have this hobby? It's a bed crossbow, and something more than three feet long and five inches thick is inserted into their bodies, can you stand it? But after all, it's a VIP, and if you really like it, it's not impossible to give them two......"
Everyone: "......"
I can see that under the handsome appearance of the young envoy who pretends to be confused, there is definitely a crazy heart hidden!
Chen Qun looked confused.
Without it.
Song Yu's suggestion is too fucking crazy, but it's also too fucking good!
If the Zhao State is strong enough now that he really doesn't have to scruple about anything, then "greeting" the Northern Qi delegation with deep hatred in this way is definitely a feat that can go down in history!
Whoever does this will all go down in history!
But the problem is that Zhao is now rich, but its military strength is ...... It shouldn't be that strong, right?
If you really want to do this, will you only be happy this time?
Even if the Northern Qi side can't spare a move now because of the fight with the Western Liao, when they turn around, they will inevitably enter the army and make this land miserable again......
This is no joke, it is a very likely thing to happen.
Unless, the official family is ready to go to war with Northern Qi now!
The official family has been "Dingdu" Lin'an for more than ten years, and has been scolded by countless people for more than ten years.
Who wouldn't want to set foot in their homeland and return to their homeland?
But Chen Qun knew very well in his heart that it was these more than ten years of recuperation and concentration on economic development that allowed Zhao to reach such a level of prosperity that was rare in ancient times.
Once the war starts, if it wins, it may also be a miserable victory, and the people's livelihood economy will be set back by 20 years; If defeated, the entire Han family may be completely gone.
If you want to recover your vitality again, it will not be possible for hundreds of years, but the royal family at that time, can he still be surnamed Zhao?
The same thing has not happened in history.
So, are the officials really ready?
Seeing that he was silent, Song Yu said: "Why does Chen Shangshu need to look forward and backward, what do you say people live in this life?" ”
Chen Qun was stunned for a moment and said: "This question is a bit big, but I think it's nothing more than the four words of the family, the country and the world." ”
Song Yu was silent for a moment and said, "I have heard an old saying......"
Chen Qun and a group of officials from the Ministry of Rites were stunned for a moment, feeling that these words were familiar, as if they had heard them somewhere.
Then I reacted, didn't you just admit what your kid said, and then push the usual routines on the ancients?
"You say." Chen Qundao.
"Establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations."
There is no way, there is no Zhang Zai in this world, and Song Yu can only say that the ancients said it, anyway, it was not what he said.
Who are these people?
O elite among the literati!
In just twenty-two words, it is very popular, how can this group of people who have had ideals and ambitions not understand?
Chen Qun was stunned.
Tears flowed out, his lips trembled slightly, and he couldn't say a word.
stood up and bowed deeply to Song Yu.
Everyone in the hall stood up.
Including those people in the Wen Huacai family who were still angrily scolding Song Yu in their hearts just now, they all stood up like burning their butts.
At this moment, they are not respecting Song Yu, but these four concise and grand sentences!
Isn't this the ultimate pursuit of their group of scholars after more than ten years of hard study?
Why didn't this product go to the scientific expedition?
How ambitious is this to say such words?
Song Yu stood up and saluted everyone.
This is not what he said, he has no ability to do this, but all the words he says in this world are actually "for the sake of the saints"!
Therefore the people did not worship him, and he did not worship the people.
Everyone worships the sages.
Chen Qun gently wiped the corners of his eyes: "Special Envoy Song, a certain ...... Got it! From now on, all matters concerning the Northern Qi Mission will be arranged by the special envoy! ”
He admires people who can say such four sentences!
How could the official family who could discern people and send him here not think about it?
The officials are not afraid, they are afraid of a dick?
War is such a thing, except to invade others, otherwise how can you say that you are ready for others to fight?
It's a big deal, it's over!
Who the likes to grovel and lick that group of enemies of life and death who are hated by the country and the family?!
None of the people in the universe are willing.
Not to mention this group of readers.
In fact, they are never afraid that it is a tiger that takes the lead, they are only afraid that the leader is a sheep!
Fifty miles out of the city, what is the bed crossbow to welcome guests?
Even if Song Yu said now that I was going to take a group of you scholars to pick up knives and go on the horse to cut down those bastards, most of the people present would probably rush forward with a scream.
Even if the feelings of a scholar are disturbed by red dust and fettered by firewood, rice, oil and salt, they are always there.
It's up to anyone to wake them up, and whether anyone can warm up the blood that has been cooled down!
Song Yu, a "communicator" who stands on the shoulders of thousands of years of civilization and inherits the Han culture, is capable.

There are still in the afternoon.
