I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 179: Beheading the censor, Su Jingming’s name resounded throughout the Song and Xia countries!

In front of Jiao La City.

The sun dispersed the lead clouds and became more dazzling.

Yeli Ci and other 28 criminals knelt in a row, and behind each of them stood a Song Dynasty imperial soldier holding a broadsword.

not far away.

Xixia Prime Minister Wu Zangpang and Jiaola City Guards Wei Mingshui, as well as the hundreds of personal guards behind them, all lowered their heads.

There were also rows of Xixia soldiers standing on the city tower.

They knew this was a moment of shame for the Xixia people, but there was nothing they could do.

Opposite them, the Song Dynasty's northwest imperial guards were all excited.

This day was a day for people of the Song Dynasty to feel proud and proud.

This is how barbarians like Xixia should be treated, making them fear the Song Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

not far away.

Su Liang stood with his hands behind his hands and looked into the distance, enjoying the beauty of this moment.

He believed.

After this incident, the shadows left by the three battles of Sanchuankou, Haoshuichuan, and Dingchuanzhai on the soldiers of the Song Dynasty will be completely dispelled.

He ordered the Xixia Prime Minister to apologize and ordered the Xixia soldiers to observe the execution. This was not only to let Xixia see the strength of the Song Dynasty, but also to make the soldiers of the Song Dynasty stand upright.

If we fight, we, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, are not afraid of anyone.

At this moment, Di Qing puffed up his chest and was happier than if he had captured Xia Jiao La City.

Su Liang's move made it easier to destroy the prestige of Xixia and increase the national prestige of the Song Dynasty than to start a war.

After Su Liang had blown the northwest wind for nearly half a moment, he looked at the execution soldiers and shouted loudly: "Behead!"

Before the execution, Su Liang had already told him that he would chop off the victims one by one, not all at once.

Only in this way can there be enough visual shock.

Immediately.

Heads fell to the ground next to each other, and some even fell to the feet of the naked body.

He closed his eyes tightly and lowered his head, hoping that this period of time would pass quickly.

After a while.

As the last head, that of Yeli Thorn, fell to the ground, the ritualistic beheading operation finally came to an end.

Wu Zangpang and Wei Mingchui led a group of personal guards and turned their faces and ran towards the city.

At this time, the Imperial Army of the Song Dynasty shouted in unison: 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!"

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

……

Every sound resounded through the sky, and every sound made those Xixia soldiers who had not gone far tremble with fear.

Wu Zangyupang clenched his fists tightly and regarded Su Liang as Xixia's biggest enemy. He swore that he would kill Su Liang to avenge today's humiliation.

……

At this moment, Su Liang couldn't help but take a long breath.

His back was soaked.

He was also worried that Wu Zang would be provoked and suddenly start a war. Although the Song Dynasty could still win, it would be difficult to achieve the immediate effect.

now.

Su Liang used the method of a civil servant to regain the face lost by the Song Dynasty in the battle between Song and Xia.

After a while.

Su Liang followed Di Qing and others to the military tent in the middle.

Di Qing suddenly looked at the generals, and then said loudly: "Brothers, pay tribute to Yushi Su!"

Su Liang was stunned. Just when he thought everyone was surrendering to him, Liu Dazhi grabbed Su Liang's shoulders and Cao Hu grabbed Su Liang's legs.

Then, a group of people grabbed Su Liang and threw him into the sky.

While throwing it, he shouted: Anyone who offends our Song Dynasty will be punished!
Su Liang was thrown high, higher and higher.

He was enjoying the beauty of the moment, looking at the vast wasteland in the distance, and suddenly felt that this land was very beautiful.

……

That night.

Su Liang, Di Qing and others wrote the details of today's incident to the court and Fan Zhongyan respectively, and sent the original letter of apology to the Xixia Prime Minister for hiding and blackmailing Pang to Bianjing City.

soon.

Su Liang chased the murderer for thousands of miles and made the murderer pay with his life. The Xixia Prime Minister wrote a letter of apology and the Xixia soldiers were forced to watch the execution. The story spread to the people from the mouths of the northwest soldiers.

Then, the people in the northwest spread the word to the merchants, and the merchants spread the word out of the northwest and to other state capitals.

……

The people of the Song Dynasty always liked to exaggerate their stories to attract people's attention.

Some people say that Su Liang was holding a big knife and chopped off 28 Xixia thieves in one breath, and gave Su Liang a nickname: Beheading Censor.

Some people say that Su Liang stood in front of Jiaola City and scolded Xixia Prime Minister Wu Zangying Pang and Jiaola City Guard Wei Mingshui for half an hour, but the latter did not dare to refute at all.

Others claim that Su Liang knew that the Xixia Prime Minister had committed incest, so he had no choice but to write an apology letter.

... There are hundreds of versions of this incident, but they all have one thing in common: they are all words of praise for Su Liang.

But Su Liang didn't know this.

He slept in the camp for three days, and after eating three meals of roasted whole sheep, he set out on his way home with Cao Hu, Liu Dazhi and others.

He has been away from home for almost three months, and he misses his wife and son very much.

And this moment.

Wu Zangyupang, who returned to the capital of Xixia, told the officials of the Xixia court that he wrote the letter of apology to the Song Dynasty in order to protect the small king.

He informed the ministers that Xixia could not go to war at the moment.

Forced by the Song army, he turned the tide and argued with Di Qing, the God of War of the Song Dynasty, and Su Liang, the Taiwanese admonisher, for a long time. In order to save the small king from humiliation, and in order to save the Xixia Kingdom from humiliation, he chose to be humiliated himself.

He believed that he was carrying Xixia forward.

Wu Zangyingpang was not tough in front of Su Liang and Di Qing, but in the Xixia court, he looked like a powerful minister.

He relied on his status as the uncle of the state and his thick skin to still hold the position of prime minister, but Wei Mingchui, the defender of Jiaola City, became the scapegoat and was directly beaten to the end.

……

June thirteenth.

The detailed story of the Jiao La City incident, together with the original letter of apology from Xixia Prime Minister Fu Zang Pang, appeared in Zhao Zhen's hands.

In the vertical arch hall.

Officials from the two governments, three departments, Yushitai, and Academy of Sciences gathered together.

Zhao Zhen was excited.

For the Song Dynasty, this incident demonstrated the national prestige of the Song Dynasty better than the capture of Jiaola City.

Wu Yu, Zhang Fangping, Tang Jie, Bao Zheng and others were laughing from ear to ear.

Chen Zhizhong, Xia Song and others also had no choice but to smile.

Who would have thought that Su Liang could make such a great contribution just by inspecting the troop reduction situation in the northwest.

In Zhao Zhen's heart, Su Liangnai had accomplished two unparalleled achievements.

These two achievements were of great significance to the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Zhen looked at the ministers and said: "Zhongshu quickly ordered us to go to the memorial hall to make a brief report of this matter and send it to the military supervisors of various states."

"In addition, state newspapers and government newspapers in each state capital must devote at least half a page to this matter."

"Also, the apology letter written by the Xixia Prime Minister for concealing Pang was engraved according to the original handwriting, and printed in large quantities. In addition to disseminating it throughout the Song Dynasty, it was also sent to Xixia and Liao Dynasties."

"Also, let the bachelors of the Bachelor's Academy compile some scripts and shadow puppet plays based on this matter, and let the folk artists sing them. I will be able to hear these sounds on the streets of Bianjing in three days!"

"Also, let some scholars and students write more poems about this matter, and spread them to various places through folk tabloids."

……

"And...and...as for how to reward Su Jingming, we will wait until he returns."

Zhao Zhen was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

This was the first time since he took the throne that he had taken advantage of the Xixia people, and the first time he had severely trampled the Xixia people's faces to the ground without losing a single soldier or general.

……

Two days later, in Bianjing City.

Wherever people gather in inns, restaurants, tiled shops, and on the streets, they discuss Su Liang's efforts to gain a reputation for the Song Dynasty in the northwest and destroy the prestige of Xixia.

among them.

The most common rumor is that Su Liang "cut off 28 heads in one go with a machete".

Because this is in line with most people’s understanding of heroes, and it is also a scene that many readers imagine in their dreams.

Some scholars even called Su Liang: a national scholar.

Some even said that Xia Song should abdicate in favor of a more talented person and appoint Su Liang as Privy Councilor, so that the imperial army of the Song Dynasty could become tougher and the recovery of Yanyun would be just around the corner.

This news reached Xia Song's ears, and she almost fainted from anger.

The more outstanding Su Liang is, the more incompetent his incompetent husbands appear to be.

And Su Zhai suddenly became bustling with people.

There were countless visitors.

Uncle Ji and Sister-in-law Ji went out to buy vegetables and meat, but the seller didn’t charge them at all.

Even if it was forced, they would stuff the money under the door of Su's house again.

Several senior officials who often played chess with Tang Ze near Su's house found out about Su Liang's deeds and never defeated Tang Ze again.

A group of relatives from the clan, wives and concubines of dignitaries all wanted to get to know Tang Wanmei, and they sent invitations to dinner parties and various gifts every day.

Even Fang Youniang, who had a good relationship with Tang Wanmei, attracted countless people who wanted to make friends with her.

What’s even more funny is——

Every day, wealthy families want to marry the Su family.

Some families are even pregnant, and have not confirmed whether they have a boy or a girl, but frankly speaking, a boy can be sworn as a brother, or a girl can be a wife or concubine.

Tang Wanmei looked at Su Zimu who had wet the bed just now and the thick marriage proposal letter on the table, dumbfounded.

Looking forward to Su Liang's quick return.

Finally, Bao Zheng sent Kaifeng government officials to protect them, and the life of the Su family gradually returned to normal.
