A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

"this problem……"

Shen An did not pretend to be profound, but explained in a simple way: "The Xixia people and the Liao people also used to beat people's brains into dog brains. Now Xixia is in power, but it is not orthodox after all. I must be uneasy. If there is Opportunities can prove one's martial prowess, and the alliance between Da Song and them is the biggest temptation..."

The current leader of Xixia is called Wu Zangying Chong, who once defeated the Liao people. But later he expanded, and in order to become more confident about his own power, he actually took the initiative to attack the Liao people, and then he was hit all over the head.

Such people naturally want to use their illustrious martial arts to justify themselves, so the Song-Xia alliance is a theoretical possibility. But Shen An's biggest trump card is not this, but his understanding of Yelu Hongji.

This man is a rare pacifist in the history of the Liao Kingdom. Unless there are big interests or big conflicts, he will not start a war.

Therefore, the threat of the Liao envoy was just a joke in Shen An's eyes.

Shen An's attitude was very indifferent, and he even waved Huahua over and rubbed its head lovingly.

The matter stopped there. Shen An felt that the Liao envoy failed to blackmail him and would probably go back in despair.

But then there was a rumor outside that the Liao envoy was scared to death by Shen An's idea.

"Those Liao people threatened us, so Shen Taizhao came up with an idea, which frightened the Liao people..."

"real?"

"Of course it's true. I have relatives who work as guards in the imperial city. They made it clear..."

"..."

The news gradually spread. In the palace, Zhao Zhen, who had always been good-tempered, said with a cold face: "Who told it? Who?"

Kneeling below was a chamberlain. He raised his head. Even though he had seen it countless times, Chen Zhongheng still shuddered when he saw this skinny, skeleton-like face.

The chamberlain's clothes seemed to be very loose and empty, but Chen Zhongheng knew that this man had barely a few kilograms of meat on his body.

"Your Majesty." The chamberlain's name is Zhang Ba8, who is in charge of the Imperial City Department.

Zhang Baba said coldly: "Please torture some of the suspects."

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "The people present that day were all the prime ministers and ministers."

If those people really spread the word, it was probably an unintentional mistake. Could he still punish them?

Zhang Baibian smiled slightly, and the eerie aura made the few waiters beside him tremble.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. I dare not speculate on Zaifu, but the people involved..."

Zhao Zhen closed his eyes and waved his hand gently.

So Tang Ren was captured in broad daylight, and everyone in the Privy Council was shocked and confused.

This is a great hero! Why did the Imperial City Secretary take someone without saying a word?

The privy envoy Song Xiang was furious and went to the Imperial City Department in person to ask for the person.

But he was rejected by the Imperial City Division.

Then he also heard the rumors outside and was immediately dumbfounded.

"Who spread the news?"

He returned to the Privy Council and asked all the officials who had followed Tang Ren to the embassy for negotiation that day, but to no avail.

"This is going to be a big trap for Shen An!"

From the Privy Council to the Political Hall, the atmosphere was somewhat solemn.

Fu Bi said with a livid face: "There is a spy among us!"

The news spread quickly and soon reached the ears of Shen An, who was sitting at home eating and waiting to die.

"What?"

Shen An's calmness was instantly shattered, and he said with a look of disbelief: "Old Chen, Chen Douzhi, you actually told me... that I was betrayed by one of my own?"

Chen Zhongheng said with a sad face: "This matter is still under torture. Your Majesty has said that he will definitely give you an explanation. Also, they only said that you had the idea and did not know that you suggested an alliance between the Song Dynasty and Xixia. "

Damn peat!

Shen An really wanted to curse for twenty-four hours to express his admiration for these pig teammates.

This is a national event!

It was actually leaked out just like that, and became the talk of old ladies and young wives on the streets.

What are you making a fuss about?

Chen Zhongheng felt really embarrassed. At this moment, Zhuang Laoshi stumbled over and said in a panic: "Mr. Lang... someone is here, someone is here."

"Why are you panicking?"

Shen An didn't ask who was coming, so he stood up and walked outside the main hall, and then squinted at Zhang Baanqi who was coming.

Zhang Baibian's walk is very distinctive. He is relatively thin, and the clothes on his body cannot hold him up. In addition, the robe is relatively long and his feet cannot be seen, so it feels like he is floating over.

"elder brother……"

Guoguo's voice came from outside, and Shen An frowned slightly, worried that Guoguo would be scared.

Guo Guo seemed to be having a good time at the Prince's Mansion, her face was red, and she rushed to Shen An in a flash.

"ah!"

Sure enough, after turning around and taking a look at Zhang Ba8en, Guoguo hid behind Shen An, then timidly poked his head out and said, "Brother, I'm afraid."

Shen An patted her on the top of her head and said, "Follow Mrs. Chen and wash your face first."

After Guoguo left, Shen An welcomed Zhang Bianba inside.

As soon as Zhang Baibian sat down, he asked straight to the point: "Who else knows the idea you gave Tang Ren except you two?"

Shen An shook his head lightly.

Zhang Baibian continued to ask: "Do you think it was Tang Ren who leaked it?"

Shen An still shook his head.

Bang!

Zhang Baibian slammed the table and was about to get angry. Shen An glanced at the place where he slapped the table and thought, there is no palm print? I was immediately disappointed with the so-called inner treasure book, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu. netｔ Then he raised his head and asked: "I am the victim, this is my home, why are you angry?"

Zhang Baibian was a little surprised. Chen Zhongheng beside him turned his face sideways, thinking about how to say good things to Shen An later.

How dare you offend Zhang Ba8an, a murderer?

Rumor has it that Zhang has been killing people for eight years without blinking an eye, and there are always people howling in the torture chamber of the Imperial City Division, just like hell.

Zhang Baba looked at Shen An quietly.

Shen An picked up the tea cup, then remembered that there was no hint of serving tea to see guests off at this time, so he took a sip.

"Ho ho ho!"

Zhang Baba suddenly laughed, his voice was sharp.

"Okay, he is indeed a young man whom His Majesty values."

Shen An said calmly: "Since we say we care, then find the spies. In addition, if the Liao people retaliate, who will stop them? Your Majesty doesn't care, I will recruit desperadoes."

This boy actually started to fight back?

Zhang Baibian glanced at Chen Zhongheng and said: "The Imperial City Division has already figured out this matter. I came here because I wanted to meet the young man that Your Majesty praised. It seems good now, okay!"

He stood up suddenly, without even saying hello, and just drifted away.

Chen Zhongheng felt relieved for a moment, and he said fearfully: "Zhang's eight-year reputation can silence everyone in the palace, and his methods are extremely ruthless. You should stay away from him from now on."

What nonsense!

The so-called Imperial City Division was similar to Dongchang in the future Ming Dynasty, but its power was not as great as that of Dongchang. It was far from it.

So what are you pretending to be like with me, Zhang Baibian?

Shen An was disapproving and said, "I think he is very kind."

Chen Zhongheng looked at him like a ghost and said, "That's a cruel person!"
