Song Beiyun

"Then you should put Fo Baonu to sleep, it will be fine then."

Xiao Song shook his head silently. There was really nothing to complain about Zuo Rou's simple idea. In the eyes of such a simple-minded monkey, he who wins people wins the world.But in fact, no matter whether Xiao Song sleeps with Fo Baonu or not, the world will not change because of this. Unless Fo Baonu suddenly suffers from a serious illness and burns out her brain, she will always have to stand on the side of the Liao Kingdom.

Maybe she would coquettishly say to herself in the hypermarket, "My good brother bought this for others to eat", but at the meeting place, she would still point her nose and say to herself, "Neither Daliao nor I will allow it."Therefore, it is absolutely impossible to rely on kung fu in bed to do this kind of thing.

"I might go on a mission to the Liao Kingdom." Xiao Song's eyes moved: "Yan Shu is a literati, and he is a little weaker in the field of aura. Let him come here, there are soldiers here to cheer him up, and I will go on an embassy." Liao."

Zuo Rou let out a cry: "Going to Liao Kingdom again? Didn't you say that you would never go to Liao Kingdom if you died?"

"Haha..." Xiao Song stepped forward and patted Zuo Rou on the head: "I'm not me, I'm Song."

Zuo Rou wandered around here for a long time before she understood what Song Beiyun meant, but when she thought of going to Liao Kingdom again, she was still somewhat unhappy. The key problem was that although she said that Song Beiyun would sleep with Buddha Baonu, in her heart In fact, Fo Baonu is the one I hate the most. That condescending face makes people uncomfortable, and it gives me a headache just looking at it.

"Then when do you plan to go?"

"In a few days, I will work out the course of action first, and set a common goal with Yan Shu."

In fact, Xiao Song sometimes thinks, now that he is one of the few celebrities in the world, why can't he go away from the kind of "buy a piece of cloth in the imperial city? The son of a certain official's family has a conflict and wait until The other party comes aggressively and then reveals his identity." The route of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger is easy and enjoyable.

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was probably arrogance. Under the imperial city, when would he have to do things by himself?I have always told my subordinates to bring me a few bolts of cloth at night, and then I will have the best cloth in the world in front of me at night.

There was still a conflict... As for Huang Chengsi's flying fish suit, who doesn't know him?Those dandy children would hide three points when they saw it from afar, so there would be no conflicts.Even if there is a conflict, it's not his turn to come forward, and Bai Nian'an is not a dead person, so he can hear directly from heaven.

So this kind of low-level operation that can make you feel refreshed may not be in this life. In the future, you will always face the leaders and missions of other countries. With the rise of Song Dynasty, Song Beiyun's name will be like that of the late Qing Dynasty Li Hongzhang was the same, except that Li Hongzhang was forced to sign the treaty while Song Beiyun forced others to sign the treaty.

But a life of hard work will always be a life of hard work. Fortunately, you are also young. Otherwise, if you are running back and forth in the hot weather, anyone over 45 years old may die on the road.

"Then what are your future plans?"

Zuo Rou was wearing the clothes of a foreign race, sitting at the table with her hands on her face, looking at Song Beiyun with sparkling eyes.

She has been like this since she was a child. Although she can't understand many of them, she just likes to listen to Song Beiyun when he is talking about these things, and she feels that he is very powerful and talented.

"Take the Central Plains, open air routes, provide education, and fight local tyrants."

"Hit local tyrants?"

"Well." Xiao Song leaned on the chair and said slowly: "It is reasonable to say that hiding wealth from the people is not a bad thing, but the problem now is that Da Song is not hiding wealth from the people but from big households. Ordinary people don't have much wealth. This has become a bad thing. But this is not urgent, now Da Song doesn’t have that ability.”

"Oh..." Zuo Rou took a deep breath: "Anyway, I don't understand."

"Then you still ask?"

"I like watching you talk."

So this is the reason why Xiao Song has such a high tolerance for this stupid guy. She is like a super baby, and she doesn't need to spend much effort to coax her. Calculating the opponent's next move, it's like playing chess, exhausted and flustered.Zuo Rou belongs to the type who will say what she wants, take it away if she can and tell her why, and she will stop talking nonsense. This is the most precious thing in the world, although sometimes she is really stupid like a donkey.

"By the way, since you want to leave, I won't go to Mogao Grottoes, and I even said to see Crescent Lake..." Zuo Rou took off the hat on her head: "I won't go, I won't go."

Xiao Song leaned there for a long time, frowned and said: "Why don't you go back directly, this trip may not be able to go back until the end of the year. It is really difficult for the three parties to reach an agreement."

"That's not going to work, I promised Jin Ling'er to keep an eye on you." Zuo Rou sold Jin Ling'er unconsciously: "She said, if you don't have anyone around you, if you don't have it all, you have to go with that dog from Liao Kingdom." The emperor hooks up and hooks up, it’s not going to happen, I won’t let it go.”

"Okay..." Xiao Song sighed, "If you say you're smart, Jin Ling'er is smart."

"She's flirty."

Chapter 540 Two sunny flowers bloomed on July 7, three years, one for each

In Jinling City, Zhao Xing's study room is filled with all kinds of color pictures, which are the national flag patterns collected from the people in response to Jin Ling'er's idea.

"I say."

Xiao Song raised his head and looked at the boss of the design institute who handled this matter: "You didn't do a preliminary review before submitting it? What are these things?"

It's no wonder that Zhao Xing is angry, if the patterns here are beautiful, there are.But most of them are crooked and out of shape, some are hideously ugly but still full of confidence.What's more, he copied a bunch of words from Zhongyong University with a blank sheet of paper and handed it in, which is simply unsightly.

The person in charge lowered his head and didn't panic, because the matter was done in a hurry, he didn't think of this at first, but after these pictures were spread in the emperor's study, he regretted it.To put it bluntly, he has no experience. What are these things? As the dean of the design institute, he even has a headache, let alone the emperor.

"Okay, take it back first, and come back after screening."

"Thank you for your generosity..."

After he finished speaking, he packed up the rags all over the floor and left in a hurry, and as soon as he left, Zhao Xing sat back in his seat, looked down at Honglu Temple's new minister, An Rui, and asked, "Did something go wrong in the negotiations outside? "

"Returning to the official's house, that's true. I think... it would be better if the two angels could switch positions."

"I don't care about that, they decide on their own." Zhao Xing opened the memorial: "I heard that the small southern countries have sent envoys to send Song these days? And Ryukyu wants to call me the Great Song?"

"Just as the officials said, all the fourteen countries in the southern Baiyue are called Song by the upper country, and Ryukyu even sent people to submit letters of credence in order to be a vassal."

"Reward." Zhao Xing's face was calm: "The matter of Ryukyu is to be announced to the world, and the benefit of the heavenly kingdom is paid, and one point is paid in return. However, I don't take things for nothing, and I will give my sincerity if I become a minister. Sincerely profess your minister, don’t talk about the Ryukyu King after you go back, just use the Ryukyu Jiedu Envoy. I remember your nephew’s name is Xin Yuandu, right, and send it over as an observer.”

Zhao Xing's characteristic of Kou Kou So Sou meant that he would not act recklessly like those emperors who waved their hands when they were happy in their hearts.But if you can afford it, you can give it back, but don’t you want to be a vassal?Then follow through to the end, cut into reality, don't be a king or not, just give a Jiedu Envoy to Dangdang, and you have to send an observation envoy abroad, if you are not honest, just do it.

"The minister obeys the order."

"The Ministry of Rites will draft an edict tomorrow, so let's do it."

At this moment, the little eunuch from outside came in, and after waiting for the minister of Honglu Temple to go out, he approached and said, "Officials, Doctor Yushi, please see me."

"Call."

Not long after, the doctor Yu Shi came in, first talked about the old rules, and then Zhao Xing frowned: "Ai Qing, I remember you are seventy?"

The doctor censor was stunned for a moment, cupped his hands and said: "Back to the official's house, the old minister is only 59..."

"Oh, it's all right, I'm tired." Zhao Xing stood up: "I'll play tomorrow if I have something to do."

Zhao Xing's anomaly made Doctor Yu Shi stunned on the spot, but he resigned and walked out. After walking out of the palace gate, he suddenly realized, but his heart was a little more dazed.

After walking back to Yushitai, his disciples saw him look downcast, so they went up and asked, "Teacher, what's the matter?"

Doctor Yu Shi didn't say a word, he just walked into the room and began to pack his belongings silently.

"Master, what's the matter?"

After repeated questions from his disciples, he slowly opened his mouth: "Tomorrow, I will retire and return to my hometown, so please take care of yourself."

"Ah? My mentor is not over sixty, why..."

He didn't explain, but after asking his disciples to help collect the items, he sat there dejectedly, crying on his back.The emperor's words are never without a reason, and Zhao Xing's sentence "Can you love Qing at seventy", the speaker must have a heart.

Obviously it was just a question about age, but in fact it was driving people away, which is tantamount to saying "You are so old, why are you still clinging to your position and refusing to leave".

After that, Zhao Xing didn't let him talk, but just told him to talk about something tomorrow, which was clearly telling him, I don't want to hear what you have to say, so if you have something to say, go to the court meeting tomorrow and ask for your resignation.

Logically speaking, the emperor said this in private, and if I ask to resign tomorrow, the emperor will refuse, but I have to ask again and again, the emperor will stay three times, and I will refuse three times. After the third time, the emperor will not stay, but will sigh Ask if he has a suitable successor.

And if he supports someone, that person will definitely be criticized. This is oppression by cronies. After being an official for a lifetime, in the end...but there is no happy ending.

Do you want to say that you know why you displeased the emperor?In fact, he knew it in his heart, because since his Yushitai was smashed, he has become more cautious.

After the reform of Yushitai, the power became stronger, but he became more inactive, causing several assessments to wander on the edge of the passing line, and the Xiangyang Sun Zewei was a relative of his uncle's family.

Although they were far away, they were relatives after all, so Zhao Xing still had scruples and did not turn his face on the spot.

It's just that... I still feel a little bit reluctant.

Of course, Zhao Xing is not the kind of person who looks at the joint relationship, the main reason is that his assessment results are really not good, this damn assessment has changed a group of people in the court, and now it is his turn after all.

Not wronged... Really not wronged.

And at night, he also bid farewell to several old friends in the court. After learning what happened to him, they were all speechless.The most is to complain about the ruthlessness of the assessment, and occasionally scold the old man for being unkind, but his colleagues for many years are merciless.

Of course, is Lao Ding really to blame for this?Everyone has a ruler in their hearts.As for the rules, now that they are enacted, someone must be the target of Shiwei, and now Yushitai has become the target.

"It's a good thing."

With tears in his eyes, the censor drank the wine glass in his hand: "I, the censor, exercised the responsibility of supervision, but I didn't realize that I, the censor, did not look good. A rule is a rule, I have nothing to say, alas ..."

What can a few old brothers say?The only thing I can do is comfort me lightly, then sigh softly, and wait for tomorrow's result quietly.

A lot of people were rejected in this round of half-year assessment. Since the implementation of the new policy, there are still many people who rely on their seniority and background and don't take it seriously.But I didn't expect that Zhao Xing, a stunned young man, was playing for real.

Regardless of whether it is the family members of the prince, the post-father of the founding of the country, or the disciple of the Minister of Humerus, as long as they are unqualified, they will all die, and the biggest official is the doctor Yushi.

But in the end, he was a veteran, Zhao Xing still saved a little bit of face, he didn't just read the list at the court meeting like other people. An old minister and a eunuch asked him to resign by himself.

Everyone knew what it meant, but it still had some dignity.

And after this retreat, Zhao Xing didn't even ask anyone to recommend him, but directly filled the vacancy from among the group of people with the highest assessment scores. The first Gyeonggi county magistrate was promoted.

The rest of the positions were filled by themselves, and the state machinery continued to operate as usual.

The result of the first big assessment stunned everyone. They actually wanted to fight Zhao Xing, but thinking of the terrible assessment system and the ruthless supervision mechanism, they suddenly became dimmed.

Lao Ding felt uncomfortable, because if his eyes were lethal, he would have died eight times in court.But he was really refreshed in his heart, that little guy's method was really...really powerful.

For the first time, Lao Ding felt ashamed of himself. After all, the world will eventually belong to these talented young people. When he proposed to put power in a cage, Lao Ding still scoffed at him, but after he really implemented it, as long as his wrist Hard enough, the entire court can be described as a new atmosphere.

Are there any infighting?There must be, but now many people have to start working hard in order to keep their assessment points.

And Zhao Xing is no longer without support, because there are laws to rely on, orderly to inquire about, and the laws of heaven and earth are the greatest. Even the emperor can stand up straight by relying on the laws, and it is useless for anyone to intercede. !

On this point, Legalists are ecstatic...

It's just that in the days that followed, Lao Ding felt that his life would not be easy, because everyone in the world knew that this matter was caused by Lao Ding's New Deal, and no one would have thought that it was Song Beiyun who was fighting outside. the instigator.

But what is this to Lao Ding? If a minister of one dynasty can influence future generations with such decrees, then even death can be said to be unrighteous. Back then, Shang Yang reformed and strengthened Qin for a hundred years, but now we don’t say a hundred years and three hundred and fifty. Years is not a big problem, and the next thing will naturally be solved by the talented teenagers that day.

Lao Ding doesn't care about these things in the court. What makes Lao Ding feel sad is that his youngest daughter is only fourteen, and she indulges in the obscene words that Song Beiyun wrote before that dog. He took Song Beiyun home to eat by himself, so that he could see and see.

How can it work... Although that person is indeed talented, his character is not to be praised, okay?

"Master Ding, you are so majestic. Now the court is calling the wind and calling the rain."

After coming down to court, the prince and grand teacher Pang Ji came from behind, and beside him was his loyal root Xia Song. These two were called the second traitors of the court, and they were disliked by the direct ministers.

Lao Ding looked up at him: "What are you, you dare to talk to me."

After finishing speaking, he left without looking back, while Pang Ji stood there so angry that his face darkened, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he looked at him with a sinister smile: "My surname is Ding, your good days will not last long."

While he was speaking, the downcast doctor Yu Shi beside him slowly came out. He glanced at it, and his eyes suddenly became cold: "My lord, please stay."

Chapter 541, August 8, Three Years

The weather is hot, but fortunately the carriage is moving, and the wind is blowing in, making it cooler, but the hot wind still makes people feel irritable, and they can't wait to jump into the river to take a bath.

This was already the seventh day that Song Beiyun was on the road to Liao Kingdom. The journey of more than 2000 miles was not too short. Even if the journey went smoothly, it would take about half a month.

The exchange of places between him and Yan Shu did not actually communicate, it was based on a tacit understanding, because just yesterday, the two of them had a classic meeting problem, and met in the official post.

They didn't even express any surprise to meet here, they just exchanged concise information and had a good meal, and they went their separate ways early the next morning.

Zuo Rou was leaning against the car window. Because of the hot weather, she had her long hair coiled up, and the side face was illuminated by the light, making her look as straight as a baby made in heaven. In addition, her eyes were focused and absorbed, making her look cold and unkind , it looks like a frosty beauty.

"Oh my god! This green bedbug is a piece of trash!" Zuo Rou suddenly waved his hand: "Damn it, I bought the green bedbug and won, but I lost to grandpa! The gray bedbug is a lot smaller than it."

Xiao Song sighed for no reason, how could such a good girl have a mouth, the beauty just now was completely destroyed by this voice, the focused and cold look, turned out to be just watching bedbugs fight.

"If you go further, you will enter a fork in the road." At this time, Qiao Yun, who was leaning on the other side of the carriage, turned her head and said to Song Beiyun: "If you take the official road, it will take too long. If you take the small path, you can shorten it by about three days. .It’s just that this road is located at the junction of the Three Kingdoms, and there are often bandits.”

Xiao Song poked his head over her shoulder, looked at the fifteen carriages behind him, and thought for a while: "Take the path."

Fifteen horse-drawn carriages, fifty top-notch masters, it is said that one is against a hundred, but there is some moisture here, but with their cooperation, a pair of twenty or thirty is not a big problem.

Bandits, what level can they have? A goes up and it's over.Do you really think that every bandit is a water park in Liangshan?Even Shuibo Liangshan is just a mob.

Of course, Xiao Song felt that he was a little drifting too. He saw everyone as a mob, from bandits and bandits to the Liaopi Shijun.

This momentum is not good. The Pishi Army of the Liao Kingdom must have come from the elite, and the enemy should not be underestimated, but the bandits are indeed a mob.

After receiving the order, Qiaoyun leaned out and whistled. The lead car immediately turned to head towards the trail, followed by the convoy.

The trail deserves to be a trail. Although it was a little bumpy, it was indeed a lot cooler under the shade of the trees. Song Beiyun, who was a little wilted by the high temperature and humidity, finally began to regain some vitality.

"After going to the Liao Kingdom, take a good rest for two days before starting negotiations."

"Why does it take so long for a negotiation." Zuo Rou turned to look at him: "Everyone put things on the table, if you agree, you agree, if you don't agree, you don't agree."

Xiao Song shook his head and said: "When the big powers divide the spoils, you can regard it as an arm-wrestling match. Under the premise of being evenly matched, everyone must come and go for a while. If you can be broken off all at once, then it is not a big power." The one who is stronger than the other is the one who divides the spoils. Therefore, there may be all kinds of troubles in the subsequent negotiations. They will show each other's tendons, public opinion will go back and forth, and there may even be small border disputes. conflict of scope."

Zuo Rou nodded lightly: "I understand when you put it that way, arm wrestling. Song Liao is like two warriors, fighting for a peach. Everyone has about the same ability. For a while, no one can do anything, right? Then You have to keep testing each other.”

"Well." Xiao Song sighed: "Diplomacy itself is the external manifestation of national power. How to win a diplomatic victory without deploying troops depends on the support of national power. When the surrounding situation is stable, the frequency of wars will gradually increase. It will decrease, but the intensity will gradually increase. Now is not the era of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period when only 3000 people dared to attack a city. In the future, relative stability can be foreseen. The small country in China is almost full, and there will be an earth-shattering war at the end. The death toll is in the millions."

After hearing this, Zuo Rou not only didn't feel worried, but was gearing up and eager to try.

Xiao Song laughed softly. After all, she is still a teenager at heart. In a certain month in the future, if the Song-Liao or Song-Jin, Jin-Liao, and grassland wars are fought, if everyone is still evenly matched, then there will definitely be wars in human history. The worst war ever.Moreover, it is a melee, and the flames of war will even spread to the Turkic side, and the whole of Asia will be in a mess.

So now his idea is that it is best to complete three to four five-year plans ahead of schedule, and then start a dimensionality reduction strike, with the least casualties in exchange for the greatest social structure stability.

"I think so." Zuo Rou looked sideways at Song Beiyun, "You're not as interesting as before."
