A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

The next day Zhao Xu came to Shen's house again.

"Lu Jie belittled your method. I said, your method needs to have a name, right?"

"Managed by Shen."

Without blushing, Shen An gave the knowledge from later generations the name Shen.

But when she thought of the abbreviation, Shen An felt a little uneasy.

Immersed tube... damage tube.

"Wen Yanbo went crazy. He scolded Lu Hui in public, saying that he didn't know the general situation. You didn't see Lu Hui's face. It was green and purple for a while, as if someone had just beaten him up."

"Wen Yanbo is going to ask the Privy Council and the Third Division to join forces to manage this... Shen family..." Zhao Xu frowned and said, "Can't you change the name?"

"cannot!"

Shen An thinks this is a good opportunity to leave his name in history.

Will future generations be shocked when they see Shen's management methods recorded in history books?

Our ancestors actually had such an advanced management model thousands of years ago?

Shen An was overjoyed when he thought of the look on his descendants' faces.

"They said they wanted to push out the Shen family's management, and they also said that this was the way to strengthen the country. Anyone who dared to stand in the way was a sinner of the Song Dynasty and would not be an exaggeration to kill. When Lu Hui heard this, his face turned green."

Zhao Xu took a sip of tea and said happily: "If Wen Yanbo really wants to trick someone, with his qualifications, as long as he is not someone with meritorious deeds, it will not be difficult."

Lao Wen's integrity was still there, and this discovery put Shen An in a great mood.

"That Wu Wu, go to the kitchen and tell Er Mei that I will get some dishes for lunch."

Shen An hadn't cooked for a long time. Zhao Xu rolled his eyes and said, "The food in the palace has been terrible recently, so I stayed here to have lunch before going back."

The two went to the kitchen, with Shen An in charge, Zeng Ermei and Wen Xiaozhong helping out.

"Make some tempeh and some more fish."

What Shen An wants to make is black bean fish.

Zeng Ermei is chopping wet tempeh.

The kitchen knife was lifted up and chopped at high frequency. When it came into contact with the chopping board, the sound was subtle, which showed that Zeng Ermei's knife skills had reached an advanced level.

On the other side, Wen Xiaozhong was killing fish. He was holding a knife. His movements were not large and not fast. He scraped off the fish scales, cut open the fish's belly, hollowed out the internal organs, and finally washed it in the water...

neat!

Zhao Xu squatted on the side and watched with great enthusiasm. Shen An was already ready.

Fry the fish until golden brown and scoop it out.

Then stir-fry the condiments with the remaining oil.

Add ginger, garlic, tempeh, and various seasonings and stir-fry.

The last step is to add the stock...then add the fish and stew together.

After collecting the soup, Zhao Xu came to the pot and took a deep sniff, and said intoxicatedly: "It's delicious."

"Brother!" Guoguo came after hearing that his brother was cooking.

"Daddy!" The same goes for Taro, but when she saw that he was holding edamame, Shen An wanted to deal with him.

"Don't let Edamame come over."

There's either a knife or a fire here. What if Edamame is injured?

Taro groaned and held his brother tightly.

Seeing his nervous expression, Shen An couldn't help but feel guilty.

Yes, after giving birth to the second child, Taro, the boss, was left out a lot.

Shen An felt that he had overlooked many things, so he touched the top of Taro's head and said, "He looks like a big brother."

Taro held his head up proudly.

Shen An cut a small piece of fish with a spatula, gave it to the taro first, and then said to the edamame: "You can't eat this."

I can’t eat edamame with strong taste, but that’s how children are, they will howl if they don’t get it.

Taro gave him a small bit, and Edamame was startled for a moment, then pursed his lips.

Shen An shouted: "You want it for yourself. If you dare to cry, I will deal with you!"

The child was really spoiled and started crying as he spoke.

Shen An said with a tigerish face, "Send him to the backyard!"

There is no kitchen in the backyard for fun, and Edamame immediately stopped crying.

While Shen An got a piece of fish meat for Guo Guo, he explained: "You are not allowed to spoil edamame in the future, just like taro."

"Oh!" Guoguo agreed, then tasted the black soy fish and said with satisfaction: "It smells good!"

This was the last dish for lunch. The whole family, including Zhao Xu, had full stomachs after eating it. Even the edamame beans pretended to be shouting: "So full!"

Zhao Xu had a delicious meal and left Shen's house burping.

After leaving Yulin Alley, he went to Daxiangguo Temple.

Daxiangguo Temple has long become a sight in Bianliang. After entering, there are stalls everywhere and the sound of hawking is endless.

Several monks passed by quickly, one of them was carrying two pig heads, and someone asked: "What are you doing?"

"Braised pig head!"

Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little greedy, but someone came behind him and whispered: "Your Majesty, Han Jin is here."

Zhao Xu nodded and continued walking inside.

Further inside is the monk activity area of ​​Daxiangguo Temple.

There is a quiet room here where two monks are waiting.

"I've met the king."

"I want to talk to people here, and no one is allowed around me."

"yes."

Zhao Xu entered the quiet room, saw the quiet furnishings inside, and sighed: "I'm a little excited at the moment. It can be seen that this person's state of mind cannot be controlled by the furnishings, and he has to temper himself."

"Yes, your Majesty has wisdom."

The speaker was Zhang Baannian.

"coming!"

There was someone outside, Zhao Xu nodded, Zhang Bianba opened the door, and Korean envoy Han Jin came in.

"I've met the king."

Zhao Xu didn't turn around and asked, "You said you wanted to see me. Why?"

Han Jin said respectfully: "The foreign minister wanted to meet with the official, but he couldn't, so he wanted to ask the king to convey Goryeo's respect to the Song Dynasty..."

"Respectfully?" Zhao Xu said calmly: "Then last time the Song navy went to Goryeo, why did Goryeo choose to stand opposite the Song Dynasty?"

Last time, the navy asked the Koreans for an answer, asking them to choose sides between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. But the Koreans refused the choice.

This is the grasshopper who feels that he has the right to be independent.

Han Jin lowered his head and said, "With the Liao people on the side, if Goryeo agrees to stand on the side of the Song Dynasty, what will happen if the Liao army gathers? Goryeo is a small country with few people, and it cannot defeat the Liao people!"

Zhao Xu sneered: "But last time the Goryeo envoy said that Goryeo was not afraid of the Liao people!"

Han Jin said awkwardly: "The envoy sometimes... talks big words."

In these days, no matter if you are an envoy from the Song Dynasty or another country, you will be embarrassed to go out if you don't know how to brag. For example, if your family only has 50,000 troops, including women and children, you have to brag that you have 500,000 troops, all of whom are elite.

Liao envoys often boasted that Liao had millions of cavalry.

But everyone knows that the standing army of the Liao people is just a few men and horses.

The envoys of the Song Dynasty also boasted a lot. Fu Bi also boasted when he was on an envoy to the Liao Kingdom. The Liao people finally gave up many unreasonable demands.

This is the great role that the Messenger will boast about.

"The Liao people are plundering food and men everywhere. This is an act of aggression! The Koreans must make a choice, otherwise..."

Zhao Xu turned around with cold eyes, "Do what you want!"

He went all the way back to the palace to meet Zhao Shu.

"how?"

Zhao Shu is reading a book, a rare leisure time

Sitting next to him was Gao Taotao, who was taking a nap with his chin in his hands.

Zhao Xu lowered his voice, "Han and Jin are cunning and unwilling to agree. During the war between Song and Liao, Goryeo cannot be relied upon by the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Shu glanced at his wife and pointed outside.

The father and son went outside, and Zhao Shucai said: "Wen Yanbo mentioned this matter and said that if the Koreans attacked the Liao people from the side during the Song-Liao war, it would be of great help to the war situation. But the Koreans acted like this, but I I can't give them face, so I asked you to meet him. If he knows the opportunity, I will meet him later."

He sneered, "Since the Koreans still want to be mere wallflowers, then there is no need to consider them in future wars."

Zhao Xu said: "The officials are afraid that the Koreans will join the Liao people and catch us by surprise."

"This is a problem." Zhao Shu frowned and said: "It's very difficult. We must control the minds of the Korean people, otherwise there will be some trouble."

He immediately summoned the ministers.

"How about this matter... I should go see Han Jin."

Han Qi took the initiative to invite him, but Zhao Shu had no objection, so the next day the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty received the Korean envoy Han Jin.

Half an hour later, Han Qi's roar echoed through the Privy Council.

"Don't ask for it! Then don't ask for it!"

Han Qi reported back to Zhao Shu.

"Han Jin is slippery and refuses to agree."

Zhao Shu sneered and said: "He is naughty. The King of Korea must have told him not to agree. There is no room for maneuver in this matter. Write it down and let the navy keep an eye on the Koreans during the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty."

Han Qi added: "The Koreans should be included in the temple calculations as their opponents."

Zhao Shu looked at him and nodded heavily.

"The Koreans chose to sit on the fence and wait for the price, so I want to tell the King of Korea that the Song Dynasty does not like to bargain! If you don't stand up, you will be the enemy!"

Immediately, the quality of the food of the Koryo Mission dropped. Although it was not unpalatable, the quality of the ingredients could be deeply felt. The Korean people were inexplicably sad and angry, and the mission began to pack up and prepare for the return journey.

At this time, Shen An entered the palace and had some private words with Zhao Shu.

"The Koryo people are so angry and angry at the moment because they just want to take advantage of morality. After they return, they will make such a public statement, and the Liao people will feel that they are reliable, so they can sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and wait for Song and Liao to achieve a result before making a choice."

Shen An's analysis was very accurate, and Zhao Shu said with satisfaction: "It's just as I thought."

The officials seem to be a little shameless!

Shen An sneered, "Moreover, the Koryo Kingdom can take this opportunity to mobilize, and the officials... If the Song Dynasty defeated the Liao people, would the Koryo people take advantage of the situation to attack cities and territories in the north?"

"Are you saying that the Koreans want to take advantage of the situation?" Zhao Shu squinted at this possibility.

"Yes, they will certainly do so."

When the Ming Dynasty first came into being, UU Reading www.uukａｓ.net didn’t the Koreans just want to take advantage of the situation? Later, the leading general Li Chenggui rebelled on the way to send troops and directly changed the dynasty. Only then did he live in harmony with the Ming Dynasty.

Zhao Shu nodded and asked, "Then you came here with a good idea?"

Shen An nodded, "I have some ideas, and I would like to ask the officials for permission."

Zhao Shu couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about the time he tricked the Jiaozhi envoy Li Bai, "That's all, I don't ask about your means, just go ahead."

Chen Zhongheng sent Shen An out and asked on the way: "You won't let Han Jin write some romance about the King of Goryeo, right?"

Shen An said angrily: "Old Chen, is such a person like that?"

Chen Zhongheng sneered: "You are that kind of person!"
