The Happy Life of Small Officials in Northern Song Dynasty

The successful negotiation between Fu Bi and Su Jin shocked the government and the public. No one understood the reason. Suddenly, a crisis was resolved, and the resolution was seamless. Da Song almost dismissed the Liao State without any injuries. unreasonable demands.

And in the next few days, news came from the border that the assembled Liao soldiers gradually withdrew, and the tense situation suddenly eased. It can be seen that the Liao court acquiesced to the result of this negotiation.

This is confusing; in the first few days, the important officials in the court were still worried, and they agreed that this was a plan by the envoys of the Liao Kingdom to slow down the army. Seeing that they could not achieve their goals, they withdrew and retreated. However, no one expected that this matter would be settled so silently.

Although there were many doubts in the court, the facts were in front of us and could not be denied; the courtiers spared no effort to find out the reason, but Su Jin and Fu Bi gave the answer: "The envoy of Liao was afraid of my majesty. Afterwards, I suddenly came to my senses, and took the initiative to withdraw my unfeeling request; this was due to the majesty and majesty of the emperor; I was just trying to figure out the benefits and disadvantages."

All the ministers rolled their eyes, why don't these words fool the ghosts?The emperor's majesty does exist, but if the Liao people care so much about the majesty of the emperor, how can there be long-lasting friction and disputes between the two countries, and how can they dare to raise unreasonable demands.

But even if Su Jin and Fu Bi didn't speak the truth, everyone was helpless.

Du Yan was the one who was most depressed, and he was naturally happy that the Liao people returned home, but this incident made Yan Shu cheaper for no reason, which is not good; As the witty words continued, the grass-like courtiers' attitude towards Yan Shu was obviously more awed, which showed that everyone attributed the credit for this matter to Yan Shu.

One is Yan Shu's beloved son-in-law, and the other is the beloved general recommended by Yan Shu. It's nothing more than food affairs. This time, I want to make them look ugly and take the opportunity to stigmatize them. I didn't expect that it would be enough to make Du Yan vomits three liters of blood.

Fu Bi received a great reward for this matter, and he was awarded the post of direct bachelor of the Privy Council. Zhao Zhen even proposed to be appointed as the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. Your Excellency is already on the way back to Beijing, how can you teach others?

Fu Bi himself also tried his best to decline Gao Fengliang's words: "I hope that the Song Dynasty will be safe and free from the danger of the Liao Dynasty. Your Majesty only needs to consider how to strengthen the army and enrich the people. When the crisis recurs, you can calmly deal with it. You don't need to think about the situation of the minister. The level of the position."

Only then did Zhao Zhen stop insisting, but ordered Fu Bi to serve as an attendant as a privy clerk to prepare for it. He still knew the edict, but his salary was raised by two levels, which in fact gave him the treatment of a third-rank official.

For Su Jin, the award is much simpler, but Zhao Zhen knows that this matter may not be possible without Su Jin, but because of Su Jin's flaws - the non-imperial examination is placed there, in order not to cause unnecessary disputes, Zhao Zhen Zhen can only promise Su Jin that once the imperial examination, an official position no lower than the fourth rank will be waiting for him.

Su Jin wasn't depressed either, he didn't have the time to worry about these things, but it wasn't in his character not to make any demands while Zhao Zhen was feeling guilty, so he asked Zhao Zhen to write a plaque for the future Yinzhuang.

Zhao Zhen readily agreed, and according to Su Jin's request, he took up a pen and wrote down the four big characters of "Huitong" in Feibai, and Su Jin immediately named Yinzhuang as "Huitong Yinzhuang".

Many people complained about Su Jin, but Su Jin took it lightly. Su Jin understood that he didn't have enough money, and the official position he barely won was hard to come by, and it was even harder to keep it; it's better to take a step back and make everyone feel indebted to him Yes, it may benefit you even more in the future.

The secrets of Su Jin, Fu Bi and the others did not last long, and Lord Sansi really couldn't hide his excitement. On a cloudy and rainy afternoon, Lord Yan Shu was dragged to drink by his colleagues. When the wine was eight minutes old, Someone couldn't hold back and asked about this matter.

"Knowing people's hearts well, judging the situation, and pushing the boat along the way, it's wonderful." Yan Shu spoke with a big tongue and did not hesitate to praise.

All the officials hurriedly asked: "Master Sansi, I would like to know the details to solve the confusion for many days."

Yan Shu chuckled and said, "I know that you guys are suffering. The whole thing is a bureau. You have to admit that this bureau was very cleverly designed. The Liao people jumped into it ignorantly, and then they thought they had a plan, and rushed into it." Go back; it's really shocking!"

"My lord, you still don't understand anything after talking for a long time."

Yan Shu used the strength of wine to reveal the whole layout, everyone was fascinated by it, and they all clicked their tongues and stared in admiration.

The firearms on the school grounds, the gunpowder buried under the mounds of the forest, and the attitude of indifference to negotiations will definitely give Liao people an assumption that Song people have nothing to fear.

Therefore, a small bureau was set up, and someone was ordered to pretend to be the supervisor of Wan Songshan, a non-existent military and firearms department. There was no such person in Wan Songshan, but Su Jin selected a smart capital from the Ma Jun. .

Liao envoy Xiao Temo and others searched for Su Jin day in and day out, wanting to rush to negotiate. All of this was in Su Jin's eyes and ears. There were people on several awning boats watching their every move.

Liao people are afraid of firearms, so they are eager to seek Su Jin negotiations, and once they have the opportunity to obtain the secret of this firearm, will Liao people give up?The answer speaks for itself.

So Su Jin built a car behind closed doors, Huanniang Rouniang wrote a picture of firearms manufacturing, and while Xiao Temo was watching, she generously handed it over to Wan Songshan. In order to ensure that Xiao Temo was aroused, Su Jin did not hesitate At the risk of exposing the strategy, he deliberately leaked words like "firearms... arming" from high to low.

Of course, Su Jin still has backhands. Once Xiao Temo and others don't take the bait, he will arrange for this Wan Songshan to hide in a tavern for a half-crime, and then when Xiao Temo and others appear, he will pretend to send this letter to Xiao Temo and others. The money bag was left on the ground, and Xiao Temo would not stop until he got the picture.

Fortunately, Xiao Temo's IQ was not as high as Su Jin estimated. This guy even had the idea of ​​finding out how to make firearms on the night of the firearms training, and the next bait was inevitable.

After getting the drawings, Xiao Temo was more eager than ever to leave Bianliang. At this time, the negotiation seemed irrelevant. Of course, Su Jin would not touch the bottom line that the Liao people could not bear, but just restored the matter to the situation before the mission. The status is considered to be a success, the result can be imagined, naturally it will cost nothing, and there will be no conditions of losing power and humiliating the country, all of this is as logical as you must have sex with your wife .

Finally, it is natural to mention that the party members are in its role. The appearance of the party members has to be said to be a variable. If the design is to be successful, the party members cannot be in the game.

When Su Jin felt that the Dangxiang people would definitely have backup, arresting the Dangxiang people became an extremely important matter. If the Liao envoy was really killed by the Dangxiang people, then things would be messed up.

The guy named Tuobafeng that Su Jin rescued back to the mansion was a hard-headed guy, he had taken poison in his stomach, and his family was detained by Yuan Hao. These two things were enough to keep him secret until his death.

Su Jin saved him naturally with respect, but more because he wanted to get information from him. Four people were arrested that night, Tuoba Gong and the other two escaped, and the inn where they stayed was empty, but Su Jin discovered that the confession of the party member mentioned the special identity of Tuoba Gong. This person was a military supervisor of the Chaoshun Military Division in the right wing, one of the Twelve Supervising Military Divisions in Xixia, and he was a military commander and deputy. A senior officer under the command of the army, this person came to assassinate the Liao envoy as a dead soldier, it doesn't always feel like it's true.

Yuan Hao wouldn't even detain the family members of senior military officers, and let this Tuoba Gong eat poison and come to work for him. This Tuoba Gong is most likely the leader who came to supervise the execution of the assassination mission; When the party members arrived at Bianliang to carry out the assassination mission, there must be a connection between them and this Tuoba Gong; After the killing, who will tell the next batch of real killers and how these people are connected?This link must belong to Tuoba Gong.

To find Tuoba Gong, one has to go through that hard bone called Tuoba Feng; Su Jin naturally understands that people have weaknesses, and real hard bones don’t exist, unless it is a wooden and mud figure with no feelings or emotions; The stomach is full of poison, and the family members of the detainees speak up. Torture is not a good way.

Su Jin chose Lai Ruan. Physician Meng is a good doctor. His experience in the imperial palace made him very proficient in poisons. The emperor’s meals are tested for poisons every day. This requires a study of poisons in addition to medical skills.

Fortunately, he was able to easily release the chronic poison in Tuobafeng's stomach. Physician Meng laughed at the party members' poisoning methods. I am no longer practicing medicine since I amputated my hands.

When people have no hope of life, they will regard death as home, because there is no other way, it is better to be more open-minded.Just like a classic quote that all the prisoners on the execution ground like, '18 years later, I am a good man again! ', the meaning of this sentence is not meaningless, but helpless.

But when Tuoba Feng realized that he didn't have to die, his hard bones suddenly softened as if they had been soaked in vinegar for three months; Su Jin gave him another bad idea to save his family, that is, put The news of his death spread so that Yuan Hao would not kill his family again; so Tuoba Feng confessed where to find Tuoba Gong's contact in case something happened.

The next thing was easy. Su Jin followed the vine, and after touching one after another, he captured all the party members who disrupted the situation, ensuring the progress of the subsequent plan.

Of course, Su Jin had no good intentions in handing over all the party members to Xiao Temo. He wanted Xiao Temo to always remember the assassination of him by the Xixia people, and to use Xiao Temo's mouth to stir up disputes between Liao and Xia. is the real purpose.

When Yan Shu said all these things, the eyes of these officials were all straightened.

Is this kid really 17 years old?This **** is even more treacherous than a 70-year-old fox. He lives in a different place. What can people like himself do in this matter?It might not be difficult to fight with rhetoric and arguments, but if it is like Su Jin, who does not argue, does not fight, does not make noise, and the clever layout allows the Liao people to retreat on their own to achieve their goals, it is impossible at all.

The happy life of small officials in the Northern Song Dynasty:

The third zero perfect innings:
