Promotion and fortune in Song Dynasty

Zhao Zhen stole the scriptures he snatched from the queen, and walked around the meeting hall with a candid face. As expected, he was told that the reward for Zhu Shuo had not yet been finalized, and he frowned again, urging and beating a few times. After saying this, he leisurely returned to the palace where he had a nap.

"Let's go back first."

Zhao Zhen lay casually on the bed, covered his face with his sleeves very tiredly, and yawned.

Before he finished yawning, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the servants filing out, and carefully closed the door.

it is good!

Zhao Zhen cheered inwardly, his eyes suddenly glowed with excitement, and his body, which had been lying lazily just now, straightened up like a carp, and he sat up suddenly.

When he walked to the wooden table in three steps at a time, the scripture book that had been hidden all the way finally reappeared.

If it wasn't for good luck, you must have missed the new issue that the queen secretly hid, and I'm afraid you will have to wait for Guo Shengren, who reads slowly, to read it before reading it!

While secretly rejoicing for his good luck, Zhao Zhen opened the title page with full of expectation, and slowly read it cherishingly.

——This ecstasy lasted for two full hours.

As we all know, the "Liu Yuanyuan", who has always been writing new booklets according to the circumstances, has been particularly "dedicated" for some reason recently. In just three or four months, he has diligently published seven books, which are worth the money. Half of the total amount published in recent years.

The most intuitive way for them to express their joy is that whenever a new book comes out, they flock to various bookstores to sell out the first batch of engraved and printed scriptures.

In a day or two, the streets and alleys will be able to hear the voices discussing the plot of the new storybook.

Even those who are not very literate can either ask their literate neighbors for help, or go to a teahouse to satisfy their cravings with a storyteller who is willing to talk about Liu Yuanyuan's scripts. I can read it.

After all, the plot is really tortuous and exciting. Ever since the uncle surnamed Zhao meddled in her own business and sent the seemingly gentle and delicate Zhu Xi to Lu Sanyuan who had just fallen into a cold war with Lady Liu, the two daughters fought openly and secretly, and each fought for her husband. The methods emerge in endlessly, which makes people watch with gusto.

However, Liu Yuanyuan's writing style is really delicate, and in just a few words, Zhu Xi, who was not lovable because of her status as a "rival in love" when she appeared on the stage, was written with a devotion no less than that of Lady Liu.

And because she is well-educated and considerate, compared to the more jealous and aggressive Liu Niangzi, with her refined and touching pathetic gentleness, she quickly gained many fans among readers.

In teahouses of all sizes, one can often hear the topic of Zhu Xi or Liu Niangzi, which one is more suitable for Lu Sanyuan, and people debate endlessly.

However, the battle between Liu and Zhu has not yet settled. In the latest issue, that nasty uncle surnamed Zhao has tossed out a new moth—he sent a widow surnamed to him, just for fear that his family would be the only one. Lu Sanyuan, who is so tall, refuses to get close to women!

As soon as this episode came out, it immediately aroused outrage among the crowd. Among the followers, the Liu and Zhu factions twisted into a drum rope, and decided to deal with the coquettish widow Zhang who meddled together.

The people who are worried about the increasingly exciting stories don't know that the "hero" who completely triggered Liu Yuanyuan's amazing inspiration is not someone else, but the "uncle surnamed Zhao" who lives deep in the palace and is forced to hide his merit and name. .

Zhao Zhen has been deeply immersed in the wonderful stories woven by Liu Yuanyuan, sometimes holding back his belly laughs, sometimes frowning, sometimes slapping the table angrily, scolding the uncle Zhao who insisted on making arrangements...

After scolding, realizing the true identity of the 'uncle surnamed Zhao', Zhao Zhen couldn't laugh or cry again.

Before he knew it, he had finished reading the last line, and curled his lips unsatisfied.

Hey, I have to wait for a very long time.

After he reluctantly put down the book, he first hid it skillfully, and then he was magnanimous for a while, forgiving Liu Yuanyuan, who had avenged his personal revenge.

——Forget it, since Liu Qi has been so 'doing business' recently, and Miss Liu has pitifully fallen into the disadvantage of competing for her husband in the last two or three episodes of the storybook, let's not bother with him for now.

The little emperor had just picked and searched to hide the loot, thinking about when he would be free someday, and when he reviewed all the previous books, he suddenly heard a mess of footsteps coming from outside the door.

Which palace man dares to be so disrespectful?

Zhao Zhen frowned, and was about to ask aloud, when the closed door was surrounded by the excited dissuasion of the servants, Kou Zhun, who had three or four servants hanging on his body, came all the way to 'carry forward' It was opened, and he roared angrily: "Your Majesty!"

Zhao Zhen shuddered and stood up subconsciously: "Mr. Kou?"

Could it be that the queen was confused and went to Kou Xiang to expose him in order to get back the script? !

Kou Zhun's next excited words fully clarified the suspicion of the unlucky Empress Guo, and further proved the little emperor's "guilty heart": "There is an urgent report about Tubo from Qinzhou, please read it quickly!"

In less than half an hour, Wen Buqi, who had been in charge of the real power in Tubo for more than ten years, and since the death of Li Lizun, was the dominant family, and Wen Buqi, who had all the power in the court, suddenly became the furious Tubo without warning. The souls of the people who died under the sword were extremely miserable.

In the eyes of the devout Tubo people, if this arrogant and lustful Lunbu, who usually exploits the people's fat and fat, is really an important minister who is highly valued by Zanpu, he can just bear it.

Who would have thought that Wen Buqi would be so daring, not only imprisoning and abusing Zanpu, but even killing Zanpu!

The anger of the Tubo people was lifted to the highest point, and Wen Buqi, who thought he was safe and secure, was scorched and torn to pieces.

And when he dies, his power will be the same as Li Lizun's at the beginning, not to mention falling apart, and those who are truly loyal to Wen Buqi and want to stand up to the corner are definitely not what the people want and who have won countless grasses. It's my opponent.

Zong Siluo used thunderous means to calmly rise to the top amidst the roaring cheers.

It only took five short days to wipe out Wen Buqi's forces and install their own troops.

It also made Tubo, a behemoth with internal chaos, finally welcome its true lord after a bloody and violent turmoil.

Undoubtedly, this news was shocking. It not only shocked the courtiers except for the emperor who knew a little and a few prime ministers incoherently, but also made Li Yuanhao, who was also newly promoted, his eyes turned red with jealousy.

In order to inherit his father's position, he killed his mother, wife and relatives, and all of them were pulled down, which is why he is now in this seemingly stable, but actually precarious situation.

How could that poor boy who has been a puppet for more than ten years now be able to become a nouveau riche so smoothly, and exaggeratedly become the heart of the people?

Of course, compared with the earth-shattering change of Tubo's ruler, Li Yuanhao was more vigilant because the first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to make a friendly statement to Song Dynasty, hoping to marry the princess.

Li Yuanhao couldn't figure it out.

After all, Wen Buqi had been imprisoned by Wen Buqi for so many years. To ensure his own safety, the cautious Wen Buqi would never give him a chance to meet Song Chen.

But Zanpu's name was implemented so smoothly by Zan Siluo, Li Yuanhao would never believe it if he said it was only based on his own ability.

I can't figure it out, but Li Yuanhao has decided on one thing - the cunning Song dog must have played some tricks in it, and only by fishing in troubled waters did Tubo, a behemoth that has been chaotic for a long time, take the initiative to show friendship!

Otherwise, even if Ji Siluo didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Xixia and Song Dynasty, he could take advantage of the strength of the army and the convenience of the location to ask the warring parties for a lot of money and take advantage of the fire.

Either unite with a faction to share a share, or stand by and wait for an opportunity.

However, this Tubo Zanpu didn't choose any of them, but chose the one that benefited Da Song the most: he directly expressed his friendliness, which made Li Yuanhao very anxious.

Compared with the muddy waters that Ji Siluo has stirred up, even the news of the fall of Houqiaochuan, which made him very irritable before, has become insignificant.

If he doesn't unite with the Khitan to form a two-way power, then not only will he have to become a fish on the chopping board, but if he touches the Song Dynasty, he will have to guard against Tubo's back attack. The Northern Liao Dynasty must also fall into the predicament of dying lips and teeth!

Li Yuanhao gritted his teeth, and with a cruel heart, took nearly half of the military funds that were spent every day, and then selected a hundred horses from the army as dowry gifts, and also asked to marry the princess of Liao Kingdom.

In order to ensure enough bargaining chips, he did not hesitate to add the position of wife to his promise, and then called himself son-in-law.

What made Li Yuanhao so angry that he almost vomited blood on the spot was that this group of betrothal gifts who shouldered heavy responsibilities had just left the party's border, and on their way to Liao soil for the first time, they were robbed by a group of well-armed and cruel soldiers and bandits.

More than half of the elite soldiers responsible for transporting the dowry were lost, and the rest were wounded and escaped to their lives, but the horses he cut out, the gold, silver, satin, and precious tea that he got from the Song Dynasty in the early years, were all... robbed clean.

The few people who escaped by chance, those who were timid, concealed their names for fear of falling their heads. Only the two personal guards who had been saddled for him for many years and didn't care about their own life and death rushed to them desperately, and brought back what they saw with their own eyes and ears. The news they heard - the gang of robbers who were obviously disguised as soldiers, when they gave orders to each other, they clearly spoke Khitan dialect!

Hearing this, Li Yuanhao did not kill the two of them on the spot, but thought for a long time with a gloomy expression, and then asked the doctor to heal them.

The subordinates just obeyed the instructions, and when the opponent was already prepared to attack him in an ambush, it proved that his own situation had been thoroughly observed, so he could not blame others, but he could only say that he was careless.

Up to now, no matter how he leaked the news here, it is no longer important to which side the group of soldiers who robbed the property belonged to.

If Khitan's greed is hard to fill and greed is insatiable, it would not be surprising to force him to send another batch, and he would use such tricks secretly; it would not be surprising if Zanpu, who has endured for many years and has an unusually strong and cold heart, is at work here; If it is said that ghosts and ghosts appear and disappear, the scheming Song people have already ambushed, and it is not impossible to regain the "reward".

"That's all." After an unknown amount of time, Li Yuanhao let out a breath slowly, calmed down again, and said coldly to his subordinates: "Since you can't even do this, I will send an envoy to Chen Ming to let Beiliao Get it yourself."

He intends to enrich the Song Dynasty. Could it be that Daliao has no desires?

If you are so short-sighted and have such an ally, you don't need it.
