I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 404 Su Liang: I Song has proposed the male lead script, and you are all supporting actors!

On the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month, early in the morning.

There was news from the post soldiers.

The team escorting rebel leader Nong Zhigao will arrive in Bianjing in two days.

After the ministers of Zhongshu Province learned about this, they came up with a new idea and immediately rushed to Chui Gong Hall together.

In the main hall, Zhao Zhen just sat down.

Wu Yu then said with great excitement: "The official, the rebel leader Nong Zhigao will arrive in Bianjing in two days. I suggest that Prime Minister Di lead his elite troops to clear the way, parade him through the streets, and invite diplomatic missions from various countries to visit, in order to deter him. Some potential plotters show the power of the Song Dynasty!"

Hear this.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

The number of countries and vassals coming to congratulate the Song Dynasty this year is far more than in the past. It is a great opportunity to show national power.

……

Civil and military balance.

The special envoys of various countries did not dare not to do so. The Song Dynasty had replaced the Liao Kingdom and became the big brother of all countries.

One person was extremely excited.

these types of displays.

soon.

For the lower-ranking soldiers, this is a rare opportunity to make an appearance.

Zuo Youding could have ordered other officials of Honglu Temple to notify him, but he did not do it himself.

Maybe some unmarried young soldiers will win the favor of some unmarried girls from good families because of this appearance, and they will be able to start a family.

Especially this year.

Sometimes some hidden dangers can be eliminated in advance.

"Okay, okay." Zhao Zhen nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face.

The people of Bianjing also learned that Nong Zhigao was about to be escorted back to Beijing, and the court wanted to use this to promote the country's prestige.

"This is feasible." Zhao Zhen stroked his beard lightly.

After all, one has already become a Privy Councilor.

But now, as long as he says a word.

The other one, regardless of whether he was promoted or demoted, was used by officials and ministers as the "Yu Shi Zhong Cheng", and he did not care about fame and fortune.

Di Qing and Su Liang were not too excited.

He is Zuo Youding, the minister of Honglu Temple.

The twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month.

After the book ordered him to organize envoys from various countries to watch the "Nong Zhigao Parade" on the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, his whole chest puffed up.

Being a diplomat is not easy.

However, it could not be completely without the participation of civil servants, so Su Liang and the civil servants of the Privy Council were also included.

Put it five years ago.

immediately.

Di Qing and Su Liang then learned that the court wanted them to escort Nong Zhigao to the streets.

When he heard "bring all the civil and military officials from the Privy Council", he understood what the ministers meant.

This is a great honor for any official.

Just to enjoy the feeling of relief when envoys from various countries bowed their heads to him.

Su Liang immediately asked Sanya to prepare the best horses and armor for the thousand soldiers.

If Zuo Youding wanted to organize missions from various countries to do something, he would have to bend down and speak, and sometimes he would have to use some public money or even pay out of his own pocket.

The special envoys of Liao and Xixia bowed down when they saw him, and they were very polite.

……

but.

……

Song Xiang continued: "Officers, most of the Western Army officers and soldiers who marched south have returned to the northwest. I suggest that Prime Minister Di bring all the civil and military officials from the Privy Council with him, so that they can all benefit from it."

Zhang Fangping followed up and said: "Guan family, please let Jing Ming take his thousand guards who have been to the southern border to participate. Merits are merits, mistakes are faults. Jing Ming also made great contributions in suppressing the rebellion in the southern border!"

Before the fourth watch, Su Liang put on his official uniform and rode out.

The people of Bianjing have always loved to show off, show off, and join in the fun. Now that the imperial court wants to enhance its national prestige, they will naturally help.

Di Qing served well in quelling the rebellion and deserved to enjoy this honor.

Before noon.

The convoy escorting Nong Zhigao has been stationed outside the city.

Di Qing, the civil and military officials of the Privy Council, Su Liang and others will leave the city first, and then escort Nong Zhigao through Nanxun Gate, across Longjin Bridge, Zhou Bridge, through Yu Street, and then go to the Xuande Tower to let the envoys After watching, they will go to the Dali Temple Prison.

After going around in such a circle, it will almost be afternoon.

The morning light is faint, and the sky is gradually brightening.

From the north of Nanxunmen.

There are people on both sides of the road.

Kaifeng government officials and soldiers from the Imperial City Division were responsible for maintaining order.

The people were very excited, and they were very happy to see the traitors brought to justice during the Chinese New Year.

You need to know.

At that time, when Nong Zhigao conquered several states in the Song Dynasty and made wild claims that he would rule across the river from the Song Dynasty, the people of the Song Dynasty were very nervous.

Even some wealthy merchants north of the Yangtze River quickly sold their properties and moved directly to Bianjing City.

Nong Zhigao was so frightened that the people of Song Dynasty broke out in a cold sweat.

Not long after.

Under Nan Xun’s door, someone shouted excitedly: “It’s coming! It’s coming!”

immediately.

Several golden-armored guards opened the way and walked into Nanxun Gate.

Then, Di Qing, who was wearing armor and riding a tall horse with disheveled hair and a copper mask, took the lead towards the city.

Originally, Di Qing felt that he was too fierce, so he planned to tie his hair and not wear a bronze mask.

But under Su Liang's suggestion, he chose to listen to Su Liang's opinion.

The current Song Dynasty is short of famous generals.

A famous general must not only have military exploits, but also be praised by others.

Su Liang hopes.

Soldiers from other countries were afraid when they saw Di Qing's appearance, but the people of the Song Dynasty felt more secure when they saw Di Qing's appearance.

Di Qing was followed by civil and military officials from the Privy Council, then Su Liang in official uniform and a thousand guards behind Su Liang.

Nong Zhigao's prison car was behind the escort and was guarded by special personnel.

Nong Zhigao at this moment.

He was dressed in prison clothes, with unkempt hair and a gray beard on his chin and cheeks.

In fact, he is only thirty years old.

Nong Zhigao looked at everything in Bianjing City curiously through his disheveled hair.

He originally thought that no matter how wealthy and lively Bianjing City was, it would only be better than Guangzhou City.

But what he saw shocked him.

He understood instantly.

Why did the Emperor of the Song Dynasty ignore his request for submission?

Why was Song Dynasty not afraid of his rebellion?

He looked at the people of the Song Dynasty wearing silk brocades and felt like a monkey emerging from the forest.

at this time.

The people of Bianjing on both sides of the street shouted.

"Wuquxing descends to the earth! Wuquxing descends to the earth! Wuquxing descends to the earth!"

Di Qing's appearance is very much in line with the people's expectations of a hero.

In addition, the scene of "Wu Quxing transforming into Di Hanchen and attacking Kunlun Pass on a full moon night" has been staged countless times in Goulanli.

Many people believe that Di Qing is the reincarnation of Wu Quxing.

Su Liang sat on the horse, holding on to his strength.

He can stay up late, but he can't get up early. If he gets up too early, he will be sluggish all day long.

Just when Su Liang was a little drowsy, he suddenly heard someone shouting: "Behead the censor Su Jingming! Su Jingming, the nemesis of Jiaozhi!"

Su Liang looked around and found several teenage boys not far away shouting at him.

Su Liang nodded towards them and stopped falling asleep instantly.

The convoy moved forward.

The people cheered continuously.

Some people shouted: The Song Dynasty cannot be bullied; some people shouted: Anyone who offends the Song Dynasty will die; some people shouted: The soldiers of the Song Dynasty are invincible!

Others shouted: The same bronze mask as Di Shu, the collected works of Su Jingming, the quantity is not large, hurry up and buy it, today only, 20% off sale! Businessmen in Bianjing City.

He has an extremely keen sense of business and never misses any opportunity to make money.

But the man's shouting was indeed useful.

Not long after.

More than 50 bronze masks of the same style as Di Qing were sold out, and more than 300 copies of Su Jingming's collected works were sold out.

Less than an hour.

He made back the money his family spent on buying new year's goods.

……

Two hours later.

The team escorting Nong Zhigao arrived at Zhouqiao. To the north of Zhouqiao was Yujie.

This area is where the most people gather.

There are scholars from the Imperial College, students preparing for exams, and rows of young men and ladies from wealthy families standing upstairs in teahouses and restaurants.

this moment.

All men's eyes were focused on Di Qing.

Starting from a young age, he enlisted in the army as a prisoner, established unparalleled meritorious service, and became the first military attache-type privy envoy in the Song Dynasty.

Such a glorious life is far more enviable to men than the stories about talented men and beauties in storybooks.

The eyes of many young ladies were focused on Su Liang.

There are even some girls who are seventeen or eighteen years old, who look like a nymphomaniac.

There are too many stories about Su Liang.

Moreover, Su Liang's appearance and temperament are also outstanding, and now his bookish aura has become a little more heroic. Who wouldn't want to have such an almost perfect man!
this moment.

Nong Zhigao looked around with ardent eyes, his eyes still filled with disbelief.

The further inside he got, the more shocked he became.

He had fantasized about the prosperity of Bianjing City countless times and tried his best to imagine it, but it was still less than one percent of what he saw today.

Before death.

He felt that it was enough to feel the prosperity of Bianjing City.

……

afternoon.

Amidst the noise, the convoy finally arrived at Xuande's door.

The prison car will stay here for a quarter of an hour for envoys from various countries to visit.

The envoys from various countries were naturally aware of the Song Dynasty's display of national strength.

Whoever messes with Song Dynasty will be in trouble.

The special envoys of Liao, Xixia, Goryeo, and Japan looked at the embarrassed Nong Zhigao, all with expressions of smiles.

Chaos in the Southern Song Dynasty would be most beneficial to them.

Who would have thought that the civil strife would be completely wiped out in less than a year.

Su Liang's feat of causing 8,000 casualties among the Cochin soldiers made the envoys of the four countries even more angry.

The southern territory of the Song Dynasty has been peaceful for a long time.

Then they are the ones who will be uneasy next.

Yelu Chongyuan was also among the crowd, and he was more concerned about the performance of the people of the Song Dynasty.

In the Liao Kingdom.

When ordinary people see officials and soldiers, they usually dodge their eyes or even hide.

The two sides are almost enemies of each other.

But the people of Bianjing City, especially the old and the weak, looked at the soldiers passing by, as if they saw their sons having potential, and their joy was beyond words.

"It is far better to win the hearts and minds of the people than to suppress them with force!" Yelu Zhongyuan murmured.

He benefited a lot from the few days he spent wandering around Bianjing City, and the principles he learned were enough to compile half a book.

At this moment, he suddenly understood why Yelu Hongji went to Bianjing once and strongly demanded reforms in the Liao Kingdom.

If the Liao Kingdom did not seek change, it would be left far behind by the Song Dynasty.

at this time.

Suddenly a voice came from the crowd.

"Anyone who offends our Song Dynasty will be punished!"

There were more and more voices. In the blink of an eye, all the people began to shout this sentence and looked at Su Liang.

at the same time.

The envoys of the Xixia mission lowered their heads, eager to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.

This statement is very particular.

That's what a group of Western Army soldiers shouted after Su Liang chased the murderers to Jiaola City, killed twenty-eight criminals including Xixia Yeli Ci, and asked the Xixia Prime Minister to write a letter of apology.

Now, this statement has become a slogan commonly used by the Song Dynasty military.

Whenever they shouted, the people of the Song Dynasty felt very proud and proud, while the Xixia people were ashamed of it.

"Anyone who offends our Song Dynasty will be punished!"

"Anyone who offends our Song Dynasty will be punished!"

"Anyone who offends our Song Dynasty will be punished!"

……

These words floated in the sky above Bianjing City, deafening and resounding through the sky.

The envoys of the missions all felt a sense of fear.

The people of the Song Dynasty were so united.

A country with this kind of cohesion is simply invincible.

Su Liang glanced at the diplomatic missions from various countries not far away, and couldn't help but sigh: "My Song Dynasty has proposed a script for the male protagonist, and you are all supporting characters!"

About a quarter of an hour later.

The motorcade left Xuande's gate and headed towards the prison of Dali Temple.

The parade is coming to an end.

Some people continued to run with the motorcade, while others stopped to take a break and go to a restaurant to have a sumptuous meal to celebrate this event...

Zuo Youding, the minister of Honglu Temple, and a group of special envoys watched the convoy leave.

Zuo Youding turned his face and said with a smile: "Everyone, if you make friends with me, the Song Dynasty, you will be my friends with the Song Dynasty. But if you make enemies with me, the Song Dynasty, I am afraid this will be the end!"

All the envoys handed over their hands at the same time and expressed their agreement.

Even the special envoy of the Liao Kingdom smiled and nodded. In the current Song Dynasty, no one wanted to offend.

……

Half an hour later.

Di Qing, Su Liang and others finally sent Nong Zhigao to Dali Temple Prison.

Next.

Once the crime is confirmed by Dali Temple, the punishment can be carried out.

Su Liang sat on the horse for most of the day, and his whole crotch was sore.

but.

His mission with Di Qing has not yet been completed.

They still need to go to the ban to recover before they can go home to rest.

After a while.

Su Liang and Di Qing, who changed into the privy envoy uniforms again, walked towards the forbidden area.

If Di Qing had disheveled hair and wore a mask in front of the saint, it would be a crime of great disrespect.

Also, it scares people easily.

In Su Liang's words: Di Qing's outfit looks majestic from a distance, but looks like a ghost up close.

Forbidden corridor.

Di Qing and Su Liang were walking when they suddenly saw Wang Yaochen, the envoy of the Third Division, carrying his official uniform in both hands and walking hurriedly towards the Chui Gong Hall.

Su Liang shouted: "Prime Minister, are you in urgent need of meeting the Holy Spirit? It is a bit indecent to pick up your clothes and walk quickly in the forbidden area!"

Wang Yaochen turned around.

"Han Chen, Jing Ming, hurry up and hurry up. I met all the envoys today and suddenly thought of a way to make money. You should also listen to it. If it can be done, I will be able to walk sideways in the ban in the future!"

Su Liang and Di Qing were both happy and quickly caught up.

Su Liang looked at Wang Yaochen's back and felt deeply in his heart.

This man, who was the number one scholar in the fifth year of Tiansheng's reign and a master of poetry with gentle diction, became the money bag of the Song Dynasty after he became the Third Secretary of the Song Dynasty. Everything he said and did was inseparable from money.

I didn’t even write any poems anymore, it can be said that it was a huge effort.

However, Su Liang could feel it.

Wang Yaochen is very happy in the position of Third Secretary-General. He will likely become the greatest Third Secretary-General in the Song Dynasty.
