A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Outside the imperial city, Han Qi and others were waiting to enter the palace.

"Ms. sir, the envoy from Liao is here." An official came over in a hurry, with a glossy look on his mouth. He had obviously eaten something on the way.

"where?"

Han Qi yawned, and the official who came to report said, "He will be taken into the city and is about to be resettled."

Zeng Gongliang sneered: "The Liao people were defeated in Baozhou. What are they doing? Threatening? The Song Dynasty will not accept threats."

Han Qi shook his head and said: "I guess not, it's just that the Liao envoy arrived so quickly, which is a bit strange."

Not long after the Battle of Baozhou ended, it stands to reason that when Yelu Hongji was furious, he would not have the time or mood to arrange for an envoy to come to the Song Dynasty.

"I'm afraid Yelu Hongji is here to seek peace."

Bao Zheng's words made Zeng Gongliang a little puzzled, "What kind of peace is he asking for? The Song Dynasty can't attack them now... Hiss... you mean... the review under Fan Yang City? And the attack on Laishui... It scared Yeluhong base?"

For Shen An's victory over Laishui, the monarchs and ministers in the court were almost full of praise, and they all found it very satisfying. But regarding the behavior of his subordinates who were inspected under Fan Yang City, Bao Zheng was said to have chased Shen An Sanjie and scolded him for not knowing the seriousness. If something went wrong, he would not be able to come back this time.

"The Liao people were defeated several times. Yelu Hongji only wanted a big victory to save his face. But after the defeat in Baozhou, he felt that this road was temporarily impassable, but he was still worried..."

Bao Zheng said with some trepidation: "But I am still worried that there will be more people like Shen An in the Song Dynasty, and they will encourage the officials to go to the north. When the war starts, it is not known who will win and who will lose!"

"But Yelu Hongji is determined not to bet on the fate of the country!" Han Qi said very confidently: "The Liao people are huge, and according to Shen An, they wear shoes, and the Song Dynasty has been defeated by the Liao people many times before, so then It's barefoot, and those who are barefoot are naturally not afraid of those who wear shoes..."

Zeng Gongliang nodded and said: "But those who wear shoes must worry about damaging their own shoes. This is the case with Yelu Hongji."

Bao Zheng said: "That's it. Don't forget, there is a Xixia people watching. Yelu Hongji probably regretted it at this moment. He regretted that he should not go to war with the Xixia people. Now the situation is getting more and more turbulent. He We must first appease the Xixia people.”

"The envoy from Liao is here, it's time to ease the situation." Han Qi said confidently: "I don't care about this matter anymore. I will report it to the officials later, or let Shen An go. Hey, that Tang Ren was not bad before, otherwise Let him go?"

"Why the substitution?" Zeng Gongliang felt that Lao Han's attitude was not right, "Isn't Shen An the most confident?"

Tang Ren also came, and was a little secretly happy when he heard Han Qi's words. He thought that Han Qi had such a high opinion of him, so it would be good news to tell County Duke Shen later.

If he wants to be promoted in the future, Shen An's support is one thing, and the opinions of the prime ministers and assistants are also important. Getting Han Qi's approval is a bonus, and Shen An will definitely be happy.

Han Qi smiled bitterly and said, "Shen An almost burned Yelu Hongji to death. This time, he was reviewing under Fanyang City, which made the Liao people crazy with shame and anger. I am worried that the Liao people will assassinate him."

"As for Tang Ren, if he is assassinated, the Song Dynasty will naturally avenge him."

Tang Ren felt as if his heart had fallen into a hole in the ice, and his whole body was trembling with cold.

Does this co-author think it doesn't matter if someone dies?

"It's open."

The palace door opened wide and everyone filed in.

Han Qi and others were walking in front, and no one dared to come near. It was very quiet.

Chen Zhongheng came towards me, and whispered as he approached, "My Lords, please wait outside the imperial city. The officials will come out later."

"Are you leaving the palace again?" Han Qi asked, "Where are you going?"

This was a taboo question, so Zeng Gongliang coughed dryly and said, "You cannot inquire into the whereabouts of officials."

You, Han Qi, have made inquiries now. What if you arrange for assassination in advance?

Of course Han Qi would not do this, but this is a rule and cannot be exceeded.

However, after Zhao Shu ascended the throne, those rules were broken a lot, especially after he became ill, the rules were just playthings in his eyes.

Han Qi said angrily: "If you can't trust me, what's the point of becoming the prime minister?"

He looked at Zeng Gongliang and felt that this man was always stumbling upon him, so he said dissatisfiedly: "It's unfounded to worry!"

These words imply that Zeng Gongliang is a fool.

When Lao Zeng heard this, he became angry and said, "People's hearts are unpredictable."

People's hearts are separated from each other, God knows what you, Han Qi, are thinking.

Is this going to start a fight?

Chen Zhongheng wanted to see the fight between the prime minister and his assistant from the bottom of his heart. He thought it would be interesting, so he stepped back.

"What are you doing when you step back?"

Someone behind him asked, and Chen Zhongheng said subconsciously: "Watch the excitement!"

His body suddenly stiffened. Han Qi and others were already looking at him, but they were unable to salute.

Zhao Shu was wearing plain clothes and came slowly under the protection of Zhang Ba and others.

Chen Zhongheng hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and Zhao Shu said calmly: "It's getting colder. I see that you are getting fatter and fatter. This is not good. Later, you go to Jinmingchi to move ice cubes for a few days..."

I……

That's Jinmingchi!

The ice well workers will cut the ice after it freezes, and the large pieces of ice will be carried back to the palace to wait for use in the next summer.

Those ice cubes were so heavy that Chen Zhongheng felt that he might not be able to carry them!

"Let's go, follow me to the outer city and meet the returning Han people."

Returned Han Chinese?

During the battle between Baozhou and Commander Han Qi, he immediately thought of how Shen An had swept back the Han people after he conquered Laishui.

Are they coming?

Han Qi couldn't help but smile, thinking this was a good thing.

It was embarrassing for Han'er to live abroad. He was the prime minister and felt that it was intolerable. If possible, he was willing to incite the officials to go to war.

Zeng Gongliang asked in confusion: "Where did the Han people come from?"

Han Qi said casually: "Shen An conquered Laishui and brought back those Han people."

"them?"

Zeng Gongliang frowned and said, "They...can't be considered Han people, right?"

What is Han'er?

Han Qi was suddenly stunned.

At this moment, the emperor and his ministers had already walked out of the imperial city. Han Qi stopped and said, "Why?"

Zeng Gongliang said: "They bowed their knees to the Liao people."

Han Qi said dissatisfied: "What do you want the unarmed people to do when they face the ferocious Liao people? Are they going to fight the Liao people with bare hands? Besides, in those years in the north... Your Majesty, I'm talking nonsense..."

Zhao Shu nodded and expressed that he didn't mind. Han Qi continued: "In those years, the taxes of the Song Dynasty were higher than those of the Liao people. Not to mention the Han people in Youyan, even the Han people in Xiongzhou and other places were going to Liao. Running, what is this?"

The taxes of the Song Dynasty were higher than those of the Liao Kingdom, forcing the Han people to go to the Liao Kingdom to survive. This is a black joke.

Zeng Gongliang said: "This is true, but after all they surrendered to the Liao people, I think it is inappropriate."

This is the theory of loyalty. If you have a stain, you will carry it with you for the rest of your life.

When Zhao Shu heard these words, he couldn't help but think to himself.

He is an emperor, what is Han'er? They are his people, his descendants, but who are the Han children in the north?

He is conflicted.

"Guan family, County Duke Shen is here."

Shen An led the Mangshan Army to greet them.

This is still the royal street of the inner city, and countless people are passing through it. It is very difficult to be safe.

But Shen An was sure there would be no problem, so he walked over, saluted, then rode his horse to the left of Zhao Shu and drove the guard past.

Zhao Shu said with black lines on his head: "If there are assassins, you can't stop them."

Shen An's position blocks the direction to the left. If an assassin comes from this way, Shen An must be killed first before Zhao Shu can be killed.

Shen An has good martial arts and good swordsmanship, but in terms of protective ability, he is far behind the guards.

But Shen An said seriously: "In the official family, I brought something with me."

Zhao Shu was startled and tried to think for a moment, remembering the news that Zhang Ba8a had conveyed with a tangled look on his face.

——Guan family, Shen An was wearing an iron plate, and the man stabbed him in the waist, but the iron plate blocked him...

"you……"

Zhao Shu felt that it should not be the case.

Shen An said proudly: "The officials can rest assured, I am wearing a steel plate."

Zhao Shu sighed and smiled helplessly.

He even brought a steel plate for self-defense when traveling. Is this a famous general? Are you a coward?

Zhao Shu wanted to laugh, but finally held it back and said with a straight face: "Han Qing and Zeng Qing were talking about Han people... What are Han people? Tell me."

The overt and covert fights between Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang were all in Zhao Shu's eyes, but he didn't care. As long as there was no complete breakdown, he wouldn't reach out.

But things about the Han people are very important.

The Han people in the north now have no consciousness at all under the rule of the Liao people. This makes the Song Dynasty very dissatisfied and feels that they are not a family.

Later, the Song Dynasty and the Jin people joined forces to attack the Liao Dynasty. After entering Youzhou City, the Song army actually robbed the Han people in the city.

Han Qi turned around and said, "Anbei, what are the Han people?"

This is a big topic,

Shen An was startled and said, "Han people..."

"Yes, Han Chinese."

Zhao Shu looked at him, very interested in knowing his thoughts.

Most of the ministers had the same views on this, and some differences were not big. He had long been tired of hearing it.

But Shen An is different. This kid is very bold and dares to say anything.

Such people are loyal ministers!

Shen An was thinking seriously. Zhao Shu had never seen such a serious Shen An, so he looked at Bao Zheng.

Lao Bao and he are like father and son, so they should know this kid's habits, right?

Bao Zheng nodded solemnly, saying that this was not the Shen An he knew and was very unfamiliar.

Shen An raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, Han people... what are Han people? It's not just about blood, but more about identity."

"Agree?"

Zeng Gongliang asked in confusion: "What do you agree with?"

At this time, there was no concept of nation, so what did we identify with?

Shi Jingtang felt at ease when he sold his ancestors. An emperor and the land of Yanyun were exchanged for the Liao people sending troops to help. He succeeded, but the Central Plains fell into passivity for hundreds of years.

"What are Han people?" Shen An frowned and looked at the eastern sunshine, "I thought it was..."

Han Qi looked at him, Zeng Gongliang looked ahead casually, and Bao Zheng was thinking about how to place these thousands of Han people...

"Guan Guan Jiujiu, in the river island, a graceful lady, a gentleman likes to fight."

"In the barbarian mansion on Xuantouji Street, UU read www.uukanshu.net to show that it is thousands of miles away. Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is!"

Shen An's expression was solemn; Zhao Shu couldn't help but sit up straight; Han Qi raised his head slightly, his eyes bright; Zeng Gongliang was stroking his beard, but immediately turned serious...

That was Han'er's peak period, and he was never afraid of any opponent.

"At the time of the Qin Dynasty, the moon was bright and the moon was at the pass, and at the time of the Han Dynasty, the people who had marched thousands of miles had not yet returned. But the flying generals of the Dragon City were there, and they did not teach the horses to cross the Yin Mountains."

Shen An said seriously: "Your Majesty, if you agree with these, you are a Han!"

Zhao Shu couldn't help but said: "How magnificent!"

This is Han'er, who has tenderness and can make people turn into tenderness around their fingers.

But there is also bravery, the enemy is invincible, and there is no end to the death!

"What a Han Chinese!"

Han Qi couldn't help but cheer loudly.
