Song Dynasty female artist

Chapter 208 Liao people

Li Duanyuan is the son of Princess Wei.

The eldest princess of the Wei Kingdom is the sister of Zhenzong, and today's officials should respectfully call her aunt.

The eldest son Li Duanyi, when he was seven years old, was appointed as the deputy envoy of Rujing to serve Zhenzong's East Palace as if he was his own.

It can be seen how favored he is.

Li Duanyi was favored, but he was not proud of being favored. He was gentle and honest. Even the eldest princess of Wei Guo was very low-key.

Li Duan would like to have such a mother and elder brother's teachings, so his temper and temperament are naturally not bad.

Even at a young age, many things can only be seen on the surface.

Li Duan wishes his status to be precious, and if he wants to be here, Shen Kai will have nothing to do.

His eyes fell on Gu Qingjue, and he asked, "What's your name?"

"Student Gu Ziyuan."

After Gu Qingjue finished speaking, County Magistrate Wang bowed his head and took two steps forward, and said, "Master Zhifu, this Zhuang Wancai was designed and captured by him."

Only then did Shen Kai start to look at Gu Qingjue squarely.

"Not long ago, I heard that on the first day of class at the academy, you played three games against the academy's national player Shen Zhengyuan, winning three out of three games. After half a month of written exams, you won the first place in the college's freshman exam."

Shen Kai couldn't hide his admiration for Gu Qingjue: "Since ancient times, heroes have been born young, not bad."

Hearing what Shen Kai said, Su Yixin knew what Gu Qingjue had done during the month he came to the academy.

No wonder, Li Duanyuan and other fanboys can be reaped.

She knew that Gu Qingjue was quick-witted and intelligent, so he was naturally smart enough to get out of the court at the age of eleven or twelve and obtain the qualifications for juren.

But she didn't expect that Gu Qingjue's IQ was so high.

Songyang Academy, one of the four major academies in the imperial court, is full of talents and gathers the best people from all over the country. It really surprised Su Yixin that he can shine in the academy in this way among this group of people.

"Thank you for your compliment, my lord."

Gu Qingjue's complexion did not change from the beginning to the end.

Shen Kai thought of his son lying behind him, his eyes sank, and he looked at Zhuang Wancai.

"My son is naughty, but his nature is not bad, and he won't poke people's pain when he speaks. Even if he inadvertently makes him feel uncomfortable during the process of your friendship, he is not guilty of death."

"You are his father, of course you think your son deserves death."

"Zhuang Wancai, I have been an official for [-] years and have solved countless cases. I wonder how useful these eyes are. Your hatred for my son is just pretending. If a person really hates another person, To the point of killing him, I know what that look looks like."

Having said that, Zhuang Wancai moved his kneeling feet and twisted his body unnaturally.

All these actions of his fell into Shen Tai's eyes.

"Tell me, what is your identity?"

Zhuang Wancai twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a provocative smile: "Master Shen is so smart, then guess it!"

"You are from Liao Kingdom."

This sentence was said by Gu Qingjue.

Shen Kai looked at Gu Qingjue, without much surprise in his eyes.

On the contrary, Li Duanyuan and the three looked at Gu Qingjue in surprise: "Ziyuan, how could Zhuang Wancai be from the Liao Kingdom?"

Didn't Su Yixin and Bailixing chase this ghost to the intersection of Song Dynasty and Xixia? It is obvious that it is going to abscond and return to Xixia.

And when he came home, his eldest brother talked to him more than once about the court affairs.

If it is said that the Liao Kingdom has always coveted the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, then Xixia has not been idle in recent years, even more rampant than the Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, he is more inclined to Zhang Wancai as Xi Xia's spy.

In the process of interacting with Shen Shaorong, he showed his feet and was discovered by Shen Shaorong, so he killed him.

In fact, the Liao and Song Dynasties were not always at war. For a period of time, the Liao and Song Dynasties still formed an alliance. The most famous is that in [-] AD, the Liao and Song Dynasties signed the "Chanyuan Alliance". Song Zhenzong called the Empress Dowager Liao Xiao as his aunt, and Liao Shengzong called Song Zhenzong his brother.

After the signing of this covenant, Song Dynasty would transport 10 taels of silver and 12 pieces of silk to Liao every year.

Since then, the disputes between the two dynasties have tended to ease.

But this is only a superficial relaxation. Everyone knows that as long as there are new and suitable opportunities, disasters will definitely happen again in the Liao Kingdom.

It's just that I didn't expect that the spies from the Liao Kingdom had already infiltrated so much.

Not long ago, the government sent Taichang Cheng and historian Xiuzhuan Fubi to Liao to congratulate Zhengdan.

At this time, it should be approaching the border between Song and Liao.

But at this time, the spies of the Liao Kingdom were discovered and the son of the prefect of a state was killed.

Su Yixin, who is not sensitive to politics, also knows the seriousness of the situation.

After the initial shock, Zhuang Wancai, like Li Duanyuan, asked Gu Qingjue: "You say that I am from the Liao Kingdom, but that is just your guess. Where is the evidence?"

Gu Qingjue walked to Zhuang Wancai's side, and picked up the clothes from his arm, which was engraved with a wolf's head.

"Zhuang Wancai, I asked the students in your academy. They said that you have never bathed with them in the three years since you came to the academy. Four days ago, after you finished playing cuju, Shen Shaorong dragged you to the bathhouse. After you declined, let your The book boy brought hot water and was about to take a bath when Shen Shaorong came back suddenly."

"That's when Shen Shaorong discovered the wolf's head on your arm!"

The people of the Liao Dynasty, that is, the Khitan, were a nation on the grasslands and worshiped wolves. Therefore, shortly after birth, men would have wolf heads tattooed on their arms. This is a spiritual belief.

Even in the Song Dynasty, they would not erase the wolf's head on their arms.

Zhuang Wancai sneered again: "Yes, I am from the Liao Dynasty, but do you dare to kill me?"

"Your imperial court bows down to our Liao Dynasty and pays tribute to us every year. If our emperor finds out and asks us to blame you, what do you think your officials will do? Let me guess..."

"Oh, it must be to push you out to calm the anger of our Liao emperor. I am dead, and you will not live for a few days!"

When Zhuang Wancai said these words, he was as arrogant as he wanted.

Although the two dynasties signed a covenant to stop the war, this covenant was very unfair to the Song Dynasty, because after the defeat of Yongxi's Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty had always been afraid of the Liao Dynasty, and changed from the initial active attack to passive defense.

Signing the "Chanyuan Alliance" is reflected.

Our court is afraid of the Liao Dynasty, but the Liao Dynasty is pressing us step by step, constantly harassing us southward.

The wolfish ambitions of the Liao Dynasty can be clearly sensed in even a small work, just look at how arrogant Zhuang Wancai is.

In this situation, what would Shen Kai do?
