I served as an admonisher in the Song Dynasty

Chapter 307: A stumbling block for Su Liang! Yelu Hongji's Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick

After a while.

The drill of the five hundred Long Yu Army has been completed.

Just when everyone thought they were about to leave, Xu Mang waved his hand, and the heavy cavalrymen suddenly tightened their horse ropes.

For a while.

The horses raised their front hooves and the horses neighed.

The five hundred dragon-feathered troops raised their spears high and shouted: "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!"

He shouted three times, then slapped his horse away, leaving a cloud of dust behind.

this moment.

The surrounding people became excited and shouted in unison: "Anyone who offends our Song Dynasty will be punished! Anyone who offends our Song Dynasty will be punished..."

The sound was so loud that it resounded for more than ten miles.

All the people couldn't help but puff up their chests.

At this moment, they are proud. At this moment, they trust the Song Dynasty Forbidden Army extremely.

The one who is most familiar with this statement is the Xixia Mission.

Back then, Su Liang chased the murderer thousands of miles to the border city of Xixia.

In front of Xixia Prime Minister Wu Zangpang, after killing twenty-eight criminals including Yeli Ci, this was what the Northwest Forbidden Army shouted.

Xixia special envoy Li Deqi had a bitter face and murmured in his heart: I'm afraid the days of enriching the people by looting the Song Dynasty are gone forever!

A smile appeared on Zhao Zhen's face, and then he turned to glance at Su Liang, who was not far away.

The person who could design such a bold move for the five hundred heavy cavalry and make them shout this must be Su Liang.

"These words are enough to boost your temper. Anyone who offends our Song Dynasty will be punished!" Zhao Zhen couldn't help but say.

As soon as Zhao Zhen opened his mouth, the officials all clenched their fists and said: "Anyone who offends our Song Dynasty will be punished!"

The envoys from various countries on both sides smiled awkwardly.

Their original intention in coming to Song Dynasty was to eat and drink and take some back before leaving.

Unexpectedly, I was taught a lesson this year.

Yelu Hongji, the eldest prince of the Liao Kingdom, had an expressionless face and clenched his fists.

Watching the Song Dynasty become stronger and stronger made him feel more uncomfortable than watching the Liao Kingdom decline.

At this moment, there were only two words in his mind: reform.

Originally, the Liao Kingdom's only self-confidence was that its army was stronger than the Song Dynasty in combat effectiveness, but now he no longer even had this self-confidence.

……

After the military parade was over, it was noon.

Zhao Zhen gave banquets to various envoys, and all the yamen in Bianjing City also started eating and drinking.

After Su Liang had lunch, he went home to catch up on his sleep.

……

Starting from the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Su Liang took his two children to visit the houses of Fan Zhongyan, Tang Jie, Ouyang Xiu, Bao Zheng and others.

Eating, drinking, having fun, talking and laughing, it was a very leisurely life without going to the office.

……

The fifth day of the new year.

At night, in the front hall of Dutingyi.

After discussing with Yelu Su and Li Han, Yelu Hongji decided to leave Beijing and return to Liao in three days.

The longer they stayed in the Song Dynasty, the worse they felt the Liao Kingdom was.

At this time.

Yelusu, the special envoy of the Liao Kingdom, said: "Your Highness, I have carefully studied it. The reason why the Song Dynasty was able to rise so quickly was because of the participation of one person who was very important, that is, Su Liang, the Taiwan admonisher."

"From the Qizhou Reform to the Song Dynasty Reform, from the strategy of enriching the country and the people to the strategy of strengthening the army, and then to the creation of the Song Dynasty's 500 heavy cavalry, Su Liang took the lead."

Yelu Hongji said angrily: "Do you think His Highness is blind? The Liao Dynasty lacks such capable ministers. If we have talents like Su Jingming, it will take three years of reform to catch up with the current Southern Dynasty. Our army If you practice hard, you will definitely be better than them!"

"Although we don't have Su Jingming, we can make the Song Dynasty lose Su Jingming!" Yelvsu said.

"Huh? What do you want to do? Assassination? Are you seeking death?" Yelu Hongji glared.

Yelvsu shook his head and said with a smile: "Your Highness, although the current Southern Dynasty seems to have wise kings and virtuous ministers, they have a fatal flaw, which is party strife."

Deputy envoy Li Han continued: "Now, it is obvious that the Song Dynasty Taijiao is not in harmony with the Privy Council and the pavilion. Su Liang and Xia Song, in particular, seem to be mortal enemies."

"The two of us have a way to gradually drive Su Liang out of the court, and maybe even cause civil strife in the court again in the Song Dynasty."

After being beaten violently by Yelu Hongji for the first time. Yelusu and Li Han knew that if they did not make some contributions during this trip to the Song Dynasty, their official career would be absolutely difficult after returning to Liao Dynasty. After several days, the two finally came up with a plan.

"speak!"

Although Yelu Hongji felt that Su Liang treated him well, personal friendship was negligible in the face of national interests.

So Yelvsu and Li Han told the story.

After hearing this, Yelu Hongji thought for a while, a smile appeared on his face and said: "It can be done!"

……

The next day.

Yelu Hongji came to Su's house with a carriage and heavy gifts.

On the one hand, it was to thank Su Liang for taking care of him these days, and on the other hand, it was to say goodbye.

As expected by Yelu Hongji, Su Liang did not accept the gift.

After the two chatted for half an hour, Su Liang asked Yelu Hongji to take the gift back.

Yelu Hongji did not send it away by force.

His purpose was to give it away, and to let others see it when he gave it away. It didn't matter whether Su Liang accepted it or not.

……

That night.

Yelu Hongji came to Xia Song's mansion.

This time he was empty-handed and did not bring any gifts.

He euphemistically said that he had admired Xia Song for a long time and came to say goodbye.

In fact, the real purpose was to tell Su Liang's righteousness in front of Xia Song and tell him many reform strategies, which were of great help to the Liao Kingdom.

When Yelu Hongji saw Xia Song listening, his face turned livid, and then he left with satisfaction.

at the same time.

Yelvsu and Li Han also communicated with some government officials and Privy Council officials respectively.

The purpose was the same as that of Yelu Hongji: to praise Su Liang for not hiding his secrets and to inform them of many reform strategies.

Their strategy was to make Su Liang a huge contributor to the success of Liao's reform.

They were certain that the Liao State Reform would achieve unprecedented success.

Until then.

Yelu Hongji first praised Su Liang in the Liao Kingdom, saying that Su Liang was the master of reform in the Liao Kingdom, and then wrote a letter of thanks to the officials of the Song Dynasty praising Su Liang.

He believed that these political opponents of Su Liang would definitely impeach Su Liang.

Even if Su Liang cannot be labeled as surrendering to the enemy and treason, Zhao Zhen can definitely stop Zhao Zhen from reusing Su Liang.

But what the two of them didn’t know was——

Before they came to Bianjing, they had already fallen into the trap set by Su Liang.

The reform strategies they knew were deliberately shown to them, and most of them were copied from the fake documents given to Xiao Ding last year.

In addition, there were free talks by the Reform Department, a tea party at Fan House, and talks by Su Shi and Su Che in the pavilion.

Xia Song knew.

Many officials in the pavilion and the Privy Council knew about it.

Although they don't like Su Liang.

But he would not risk betraying his country by telling Yelu Hongji these secrets.

When Xia Song and others heard Yelu Hongji and the two special envoys praising Su Liang, their first reaction was: I'm afraid these three people are all fools. They have all been sold by Su Liang, and they are still counting the money for Su Liang!

They simply don’t understand the current situation in the Song Dynasty.

The key to party struggle is not the ministers, but the king.

According to Zhao Zhen's current temperament, it is impossible for the Song Dynasty to have the internal fighting among the parties that occurred during the Qingli New Deal.

Two days later.

The Liao delegation embarked on its return journey.

Yelu Hongji, Yelusu, and Li Han were very proud and felt that a huge trap had been laid in the Song Dynasty.

After the Liao State's reform achieved initial success, civil strife in the Song Dynasty would inevitably break out.

What they didn't know was that the real thoughts of Xia Song and others were: "If such a fool succeeds to the throne of Liao, he will perish if he doesn't attack."

Su Liang learned that Yelu Hongji and the others visited Xia Song and others and praised him profusely.

He quickly guessed what these three people were thinking.

He couldn't help but laugh, and then murmured: "After all my troubles, the possibility of the Liao State's reform succeeding is no less than that of Tang Zhongcheng, who failed to submit an impeachment memorial for half a month, and Wang Jiefu could take two baths a day!"

　It’s nearing the end of the month, so I’d like to ask for monthly votes, please!
