Song Beiyun

And as the Song Emperor's itinerary got closer, the pressure became more and more intense.No small matter in diplomacy is fully reflected in this incident, especially this time it can be said to be a deal between several major powers.

If this is replaced by countries like Dali and Xixia, there should be nothing wrong with them. Small and weak countries, bullying is bullying, so what can they do?

But at this moment, Song Beiyun was holding a midsummer night tea party at home, and the whole family sat in the yard grilling and making tea.Although he was injured, he was the most diligent in jumping up and down.

"You look like this, why are you not afraid of being found out to be a girl?" Zuo Rou's hand was very weak, and she chatted with her while touching Fo Baonu's belly: "It's moving! I can move when I feel it." !"

Fo Baonu gave her a weird look, and then carefully moved her hand away: "Actually, there are many people who know, but even more people pretend not to know. For them, whether I am a man or a woman has nothing to do with whether I am It doesn’t matter to the emperor. They still act as their officials and handle their affairs. It’s not good for them but bad for them to speak out. There are many smart people. As long as the common people don’t know it, as long as the historians don’t know it.”

"Oh..." Zuo Rou nodded and said, "That is to say, as long as the country operates normally, it doesn't matter if there are people or dogs above it?"

"You owe me your hand." Fo Baonu pushed Zuo Rou's hand away again: "Don't rub my belly all the time."

"I'll touch it, just touch it, gently." Zuorou said, wishing to put her face on it: "After he comes out, call me godmother, okay?"

"Impossible." Fo Baonu shook his head and said, "This is the prince or princess of the Yelu family, how can he recognize Song as a relative."

"Stingy."

Fo Baonu was helpless by this idiot. She didn't know that the left princess was so annoying. Now that she saw it, she really couldn't understand why Song Beiyun could tolerate the existence of such nonsense people, just because looks?

And Song Beiyun next to him was describing to Qiaoyun how he met the assassin at that time, and he said it vividly.

"At that time, someone reported that there was a censor from the Liao Kingdom, and I thought that the emperors of the Liao Kingdom were there." Xiao Song pointed to Fo Baonu who was not far away: "Where did the censor come from? So I have an extra one." Be careful, put on the soft armor you gave me."

Qiao Yun nodded again and again, Xiao Song continued: "When I met the man, he said that he came here to give me a gift at the order of Emperor Liao. I leaned over without much doubt. As soon as I leaned over, the man suddenly pulled out a weapon like an iron spike from under the box, and came towards me."

"No wonder it was not found outside... This kind of weapon is from the Western Regions. It is called a soft snake dagger. It is difficult to cut hard objects but it can cut skin." When she arrived in Qiaoyun's field, she immediately began to display her professional skills. Spiritually explained: "Thanks to the soft armor..."

"Well, thanks to Qiaoyun." Xiao Song nodded and said, "The dagger slid up the soft armor and cut a hole in my shoulder. Fortunately, the angle was wrong and it slipped out. I realized it at the time The backhand was a punch, and then the surrounding guards reacted and rushed up, but the man bit the wax pill in his mouth, and then died after convulsing for a while."

"Then do you know what that poison is?"

"It should be alkaloids, from plants in the nightshade family." Xiao Song spread out his hands: "How can I know this kind of thing, and there are no chemical reagents."

A thrilling scene was said to be a piece of cake by what he said, but as an expert, Qiao Yun could reproduce the tension at that time in his mind, and he couldn't help but let out a long breath after he finished speaking.

"It's really a close call. If it wasn't for you being extra careful...I..." Qiao Yun held Song Beiyun's hand: "I don't even know what to do."

"Don't worry, I'm such a person who is afraid of death." Xiao Song chuckled, "It's a blessing in disguise."

"What a blessing."

Xiao Song went to Qiao Yun's ear and whispered a few words, Qiao Yun blushed immediately, and slapped him lightly twice: "It's annoying..."

The two-year-old steel egg rolled on the mat, and even though Fo Baonu was harassed by Zuo Rou the whole time, he never took his eyes off the delicate boy on the blanket.

The steel egg combines all the advantages of Jin Ling'er and Song Beiyun. Although he is only two years old, he can already see that he will be a beautiful man who harms girls in the future. When Fo Baonu sees him, he wants to hug him and kiss him. I like it. Terrible, but I was afraid of making him cry, so I could only stare straight at him.

At this moment, Jin Ling'er came out, picked up her son, and sat beside Fo Baonu: "You like it?"

"En." Fo Baonu nodded.

"Yeah, I had a lot of hardships when I was pregnant with him, and I took care of him most of the time at night. It was very hard. But the first time he spoke was his mother, when he heard this mother, all the hardships were worth it " Jin Ling'er leaned close to Gang Dan's face and kissed: "I, right now, I just want to wait for him to grow up quickly, and then watch him marry a wife and have children."

Fo Baonu wanted to reach out to hug him but he didn't dare, then he simply withdrew his hand, sat there and shook off Zuo Rou's hand and said: "If I give birth to a son, he will probably have a hard life."

"Because you are the emperor?"

"Ah."

Zuo Rou suddenly laughed loudly at this time, Fo Baonu thought she was going to talk about the hardships of being an emperor, but who knew what she said was: "It's so interesting when you say yes, like a donkey braying. Everyone is mediocre Well, you're going up."

Fo Baonu: "..."

"She is like this, leave her alone." Jin Ling'er gave Zuo Rou a sideways look: "Take your son and get out."

"okay."

Zuo Rou picked up her beloved steel egg and ran to the side to play, while Fo Baonu looked at Jin Ling'er in astonishment: "Do you usually talk like this?"

"Then what else?" Jin Ling'er looked blank: "It's useless for you to talk to her, she owes her a lot. But don't tell me, the dog loves this idiot the most."

Fo Baonu was ready to be jealous, but at this moment, Qiaoqiao walked past them with a freshly prepared barbecue: "There's me too."

"I know, I know." Jin Ling'er waved her hand, and then said to Fo Baonu with a smile: "He is a professional scumbag. Everyone who is hooked up by him thinks that he is the most favored."

"Dirty!" Fo Baonu's face darkened: "Dirty! Sentimental!"

"You're right." Jin Ling'er sighed, "But it's too late when she wakes up. Looking at the sad faces of the sisters around after getting married, it doesn't matter if you think about it."

"Hmph, if it were me, I would definitely not agree."

Jin Ling'er looked at Fo Baonu's bulging stomach, heard her stubborn words, and stood up with a chuckle: "There is a rule here."

"What rules?"

"No matter who you are when you go out, you must not use your status to bully others when you are at home." Jin Ling'er patted Fo Baonu's shoulder: "Your Majesty, according to your seniority, you have to call me Qiaoqiao sister."

"I..." Fo Baonu turned his head sideways: "Don't bark!"

"Then it's up to you. By the way, I stripped your clothes a few years ago, don't you hold grudges against me?"

"Remember grudges, I hold grudges very much." Fo Baonu nodded and said, "One day I will strip your clothes off too."

Jin Ling'er laughed loudly: "Okay, didn't you say a few days ago that you wanted to find a way to punish that bastard? Then the election day is worse than hitting the sun. How about today?"

"Ah?" Fo Baonu couldn't understand at once: "What do you mean?"

Jin Ling'er rolled her eyes, leaned close to her ear and whispered a few words, and Fo Baonu's face flushed red: "This kind of immoral..."

"Scared?" Jin Ling'er frowned, "I haven't lost so far."

"Me? I'm afraid?" Fo Baonu sneered, "Just compare."

"Waiting for you tonight, see you soon."

"You wait."

Xiao Song had no idea what was going to happen, but felt that there was something wrong with Jin Ling'er's demeanor, she must be playing tricks, but it was obviously inappropriate to go up now, after all, that area was very dangerous...

In the summer afternoon after playing around, when everyone was going to take a nap, Xiao Song sat in the yard and met the prince of Runan Liao who came to visit.

"I heard that your Majesty broke his head?" Xiao Song drank a cup of tea with one arm hanging: "Is the injury better?"

"It doesn't matter." The prince waved his hands again and again: "I don't know if Mr. Song's injury is better?"

"Your sister has told you, right? There are still about ten days." Xiao Song frowned: "In any case, you need to come up with a reasonable result. It doesn't matter who bears the result, but it is important It has to be taken care of by someone.”

"Understood." Shizi took out a note from his arms, looked around, and handed it to Song Beiyun furtively: "What do you think of the grassland?"

"Why not the Kingdom of Jin?" Xiao Song smiled: "I hope it is the Kingdom of Jin, because if it is the Kingdom of Jin, their answer will be money, but if it is the grassland, they may have to fight a war."

"The Kingdom of Jin is smart, and picks itself clean. And to come from the Kingdom of Jin, one must pass through the Kingdom of Liao. This is hard to explain, but the Grassland doesn't need it." Shizi is also a smart man: "So I..."

"It's not impossible." Xiao Song took the note and glanced at the list above: "Hey...the one who came up is the royal family of the Golden Tent?"

"In fact, it seems that they really did it. I will be able to find out in time, but now I can only rely on a general idea." The prince said: "And the Golden Horde has too many forces, and they may not even be able to tell them apart. "

Xiao Song snapped the note onto the stone table: "It's done."

Chapter 600: It was sunny on June 6 in four years, which was unexpected

There are still five days before the exact time of Emperor Song's arrival in Chang'an, and the whole of Chang'an has also experienced the most frightening and thrilling five days.

The Song Dynasty is checking people everywhere, the Daliao is checking people everywhere, the Kingdom of Jin and the Grassland are doing self-checking, and they go out seven or eight times a day in a hurry for eight hundred miles.

The people didn't know what was going to happen, but the officials and envoys from various countries panicked, really panicked, cursing in their hearts the assassin who assassinated Song Beiyun and the messenger behind him, none of the eighteen generations of ancestors let go. Pass.

However, the artillery at the city head of Chang'an County has not been withdrawn, and the trenches outside the city have been dug. [-] soldiers of the Shenji Battalion have been on guard for twelve hours, waiting for the signal to launch an attack from the city.

"Twelve hours, you only have twelve hours. Check!"

Xia Song, governor of Yongzhou, broke the fan in his hand and threw it on the face of his subordinates who were kneeling in front of him. He hated these wastes to the core. The official family is coming soon.

He finally became the governor of a state at this age, but now his immediate boss was attacked and assassinated, and there is no news yet, and how many days have he been here?The people below didn't even hear a single clue, and it can even be said that they have no clue.

If this continues, Xia Song will be the first person to accept Lei Ting's wrath when the official family arrives five days later.

What does it mean to give up all previous efforts?This is called wasting all previous efforts. If he can't find clues, he is doomed to never enter the center of power again in this life.

But where did this matter start?The assassin is obviously a dead man. The world has been in conflict for a hundred years, and there are as many powerful families that can support a dead man as there are stars in the sky.

Song Beiyun is also a person who does not care about making countless enemies. He has everything from the temple to the rivers and lakes. In addition, he is very domineering in the diplomatic arena. He has always put his style there, and those who want to kill him line up one by one. It can be arranged from Shanghai to Nanjing.

"Cui Dong." After Xia Song calmed down a little, he turned around and ordered.

"Subordinates are here."

"You go to Wannian County and persecute the Liao Kingdom again. You must ask them to give an explanation."

"Yes!"

After assigning the task, Xia Song sat in front of the hall with a cloudy expression. Now he hoped to hear the news of Song Beiyun's death soon but also wanted to hear that Song Beiyun was safe and sound.

Because if Song Beiyun died, then he would be able to find a scapegoat, and if he was safe and sound, he would be able to transfer the whole mess to the Yongzhou Supervisor for disposal.

However, he didn't know whether he was alive or dead now. Song Beiyun's mansion had been besieged for the past few days, and there were murderous soldiers outside, not to mention people, not even a fly could fly in.

Xia Song was having a hard time, and so were the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin and the Golden Horde. Although they all claimed that it was impossible for their people to do it, what if it was?What's more, the Liao Kingdom has already claimed that it has certain clues, and the truth will soon be revealed.

In particular, when the Liao Kingdom told the truth, it also mentioned the Golden Horde Khanate and the Jin Kingdom as if it meant something.

Although the envoys of the two countries also questioned the Liao State what this meant, the Liao State never answered directly, and just threw out some things every now and then, and all these signs indicate that this major event that may lead to war is likely to be People from these two countries did it, and their status is not low.

"Aren't you a self-proclaimed peacemaker, why do you want to start a war with all your heart?"

Faced with Jin Ling'er's questions in her spare time, Xiao Song, who was resting with her eyes closed, did not answer.

"Don't tell me!"

"It's not that I don't say it." Xiao Song raised his eyelids slightly: "I don't know what you are betting with the emperor of Liao, but it is wrong for you to torment me. So now I want to protest you silently."

"Okay." Jin Ling'er snorted softly: "You can be silent, but I want to see if your protest is useful. These days, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor of Liao Kingdom is very unconvinced. Why don't I make another appointment with her today?" It's up to the game."

Xiao Song lowered his eyelids, kept silent, said silently, silently, even if he was beaten to death, he would not speak.

"Call Zuo Rou!"

"I was wrong." Xiao Song finally couldn't hold his breath anymore: "I will die."

"Then you will do it for real."

After all, Jin Ling'er was still Jin Ling'er, her tricky and eccentric style remained the same as before, Song Beiyun, who wanted to get a little emotional, was directly intimidated, and naturally had no choice but to answer her questions.

"War is not my intention." Xiao Song shook his head and said, "But since war is inevitable, it is best for us to start it."

"What do you mean?"

"Someone assassinated me, which is very strange in itself, but this is not the point. After all, there are too many people who want to kill me. This time, I just took it lightly. Although I was shocked, the problem is actually not big , but since this incident happened, it cannot be allowed to happen in vain." Xiao Song tapped on the table lightly: "I use this incident to make a fuss, and there is a proper term called political blackmail."

"I understand politics, and I understand blackmail... What is political blackmail?"

Xiao Song also had no way to get Jin Ling'er to go to Baidu, so he had to explain a little bit what political blackmail was, and then continued: "Use the political nature of this matter to get what you want."

"Go ahead." Jin Ling'er suddenly became interested: "Father has always said that you are an evildoer of the country, but today I want to see how evil you can be."

Xiao Song gently tapped the table, and said slowly: "International relations are actually a game, especially when the overall situation is stable, this game is the beginning of intense heat."

"Then why don't you just keep it stable? Haven't you been looking for stability?"

"What I seek is the stability of the overall situation rather than this kind of relative stability. Hey... have you read the Art of War? There is a saying in it that you use movement to control stillness. The more stable the situation on the surface, the easier it is for things that are difficult to control. Therefore, if you want to be stable in a general direction, you must move as a whole, and only dynamic mastery can be called mastery." Xiao Song began his Song's teaching method: "The Golden Horde, the Jin Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom, and the Song Kingdom are now The four-cornered relationship itself is unstable, because the four countries have begun to recuperate after nearly 30 years of melee, if you read books such as Warring States Policy and Spring and Autumn Annals, don’t you understand?”

Jin Ling'er's eyeballs rolled around: "Is there going to be a big battle after recuperating?"

"Yes." Xiao Song nodded and said, "Even if Song State's advanced model is kept secret, it will spread uncontrollably. The Liao State can learn, the Golden Horde can learn, and the Jin State can learn. Song is good, but for them, there will be a qualitative leap compared to before. So at this time, if one party is blind and thinks that they can do it, and start a war. Then things are beyond our expectations Even though the Song Dynasty has more advanced weapons and a better military system, have you ever thought about a question, that is, once the war evolves into an endless all-out war or national war, is the foundation we have worked so hard to lay? gone?"

"Ah."

Xiao Song nodded, expressing his admiration for Jin Linger's ability to understand, these words should be left to Zuo Rou, and she can sharpen her knife on the spot to prepare for the battlefield.

"Then why don't we launch a war with our own hands to put the whole situation under our control again before they even react?" Xiao Song said firmly, "I was targeting the Jin Kingdom." , because the Kingdom of Jin is closer to Song and Liao, with stronger learning ability and more tenacity, and have you never thought about why they were able to beat the old power Liao to the Central Plains in less than 40 years after the founding of the country? So I I just want to disrupt the development layout of the Jin Kingdom through a political blackmail, make them completely passive, and then slowly use money to defeat them."

"But why did you choose the Golden Horde?"

"Because..." Xiao Song laughed: "I suddenly thought of what happened in that winter two years ago."

"what's up?"

"There is a tribe in the grassland. In order to intercept the goods sent to the Kingdom of Jin for their tribe to survive the winter, the leader of that tribe asked his son to chop off his head and give it to the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin. He exchanged his life for A respite for the clan."

After hearing this, Jin Ling'er covered her mouth with her hands, showing an unbelievable expression. After all, she lived in a worldview that was better than dying than living. It was hard for her to imagine the concept of self-sacrifice.

"The grassland is a place where heroes come out." Xiao Song's eyes became fierce: "But their heroes are a disaster to the entire Central Plains, because their living environment is too harsh, so they are extremely cruel to themselves and the enemy. If Once they have a chance to break out of Datong Pass, it will be a catastrophe for the whole Central Plains. It is not unusual for me to drink soup with human heads in the pot, really."

Jin Ling'er suddenly stopped Song Beiyun: "Stop, stop, I'll call His Majesty the Emperor of Liao Kingdom."
