A country's mission represents the image and dignity of a country. It is an unwritten rule that the two countries will not fight each other until the envoy is defeated. Once the envoy makes a mistake, it means that the two countries will fight to the death.
The next day, Yang Chongxun went to court and quietly revealed the truth about the martial arts competition. Not only did he cover up the truth very well, he also won praise from the officials. Except for his son being afraid that he would scold him for not returning home all night, everything else was fine.
Even if Yang Chongxun was beaten to death, he would never have imagined that his precious son Yang Qi would openly go to a restaurant to challenge the envoys for a brothel girl. In the end, the attack failed, and he was severely beaten, stripped naked, and thrown out of the restaurant.
This is not only Yang Qi’s own face that he loses, but also Da Song’s face!
If someone loses to someone on the school field at night, he will go to pick fights and cause trouble at night to retaliate. If he fails to retaliate, he will be punished. This is like having someone beat you up in your own home. Is there anything more embarrassing than this?
The next day, officials suddenly launched an attack at the court meeting. The imperial censor Jiang Qi, the husband-in-law Ouyang Xiu Yanshu and Fan Zhongyan were furious and impeached the deputy privy envoy Yang Chongxun for his incompetence in running the army. His subordinates were incompetent and insulted the national dignity. Our country was powerful, and it impeached Yang Chongxun's godson Wu Fang to commit murder. Wu Yilang Yang Qi openly attacked the Japanese envoys, intending to undermine the diplomatic relations between the two countries and provoke a war between the two countries.
This is a big pot of shit, slamming it on Yang Chongxun's head.
Another censor impeached Yang Qi for going in and out of a wine shop as an official of the imperial court, and sleeping with a singer at night for openly defying the imperial court.
The rule of the Song Dynasty is that officials are not allowed to enter or leave restaurants. Although the dead eunuch Lei Yungong and Ding Wei and others often enter and exit restaurants in a swaggering manner, the official positions are placed there without causing any bad social impact. Who would be stupid enough to use them? How many big shots are offended by such a trivial matter?
Everyone would like to turn a blind eye, or even have a chance encounter with some big bosses, go up and hug them, and curry favor with the leader!
Nowadays, everyone is impeaching Yang Chongxun, with the attitude of beating the drum and beating the drum. The civil servants are always unhappy with the generals. They beat the snake with the stick and beat the drowned dog. If they don't take this opportunity to step on him, they can't show their integrity.
Yang Chongxun, father and son, were almost dead when they bumped into everyone's guns. Except for Ding Wei, who didn't add insult to injury, everyone else's spit almost drowned Yang Chongxun.
The two were an offensive and defensive alliance when they were in Zhenzong, and neither of them was good at anything.
Yang Xunchong is a veteran who has developed an invulnerable thick skin. If it were others, he would have resigned due to guilt. No matter how you impeach the official and don't speak up, I will not care about you.
Zhao Zhen listened to Yang Chongxun's report on the results of the competition yesterday and thought it was natural for him to win, but he never expected that there were so many inside stories. There are not even one strong general among the 100,000 imperial guards? The imperial court had so many Imperial Guards but they couldn't choose anyone. The one they chose, Yang Qi, was a well-connected person and was beaten to the ground.
Yang Chongxun never mentioned this.
The civil servants and censors came forward one after another with black accusations. Yang Qi lost the martial arts contest and dared to go looking for trouble after the game. He went crazy under the influence of drunkenness and did not look forward to the target. They were envoys from the Japanese country. The court has lost all face!
This wasn't the straw that broke the camel's back.
After Izumo Aguo met with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty as a representative of the mission, he openly expressed his disdain for Yang Qi's cowardly behavior yesterday at the Song Dynasty court, and also expressed his stern condemnation of Yang Qi's attempt to attack the mission. Negotiations, hoping that the Song Dynasty official will give a satisfactory answer.
This time the Japanese came with the intention of trading. If they were not satisfied, they would decide to conduct related trade with the Liao. I hope the Song Dynasty can clearly measure the interests related to gains and losses.
Although the Japanese country still has dignity, if it is not handled properly, the Song Dynasty will bully the small ones!
When everything rises to the political level, the taste changes! Chicken feathers can also be used as seasonal arrows, and a small matter can handle many people!
Zhao Zhen was considered a mild-tempered emperor. Even for such a person, he was so angry that he threw his book and slapped his chair. Although he hated the Japanese for speaking to him in such a tone, with questions and orders, and hated the Japanese for threatening him, who allowed him to take advantage of him? What about reason?
You come to beat others, and they still lick their faces to trade with you. If they can't handle this matter well, where will their country's face be?
The people of the Song Dynasty pride themselves on being a country of etiquette and respect everything. This time, the mute could only eat yellow lotus.
"I'll go to Yushitai to investigate and deal with it, and I will definitely give the Japanese envoy a satisfactory answer." Zhao Zhen left the court angrily after saying this.
Is there any way to survive if we let the censor do it? This group of people are scholars, but when they do evil things, other than not daring to stab someone, they use other methods that are more troublesome than martial arts. Not only will your family be ruined, but your family will also be destroyed.
Yang Chongxun didn't know that Liang Chuan was behind all of this, otherwise he would have led his men directly to Liangjiazhuang.
That night, Liang Chuan wanted to help Lu Yi, an old friend with whom he had a close relationship.
Liang Chuan said to Lu Yi: "Yang Qi is not bad in nature, but he was born in a wealthy and gentle land and his ambition was ruined. If he wants to grow up, he must be thrown into the fire to be tempered."
Lu Yi firmly believes that Liang Chuan is not a bad person, because Yang Qi has done bad things to him many times and he does not hold grudges. People of the same background will have a tacit understanding, like helping each other through thick and thin.
To reform Yang Qi, he must be thrown into the most miserable place in the world. His father will guarantee his lower limit. If he works hard enough, I hope he can reach the level of negotiating with his father, so that even if Lu Yi enters in the future He also has the ability to shield her from the wind and rain and keep her safe.
According to Liang Chuan's estimation, Yang Qi would definitely be placed in the border army if nothing unexpected happened. Not to mention the unpleasantness of being exiled, it would be more appropriate to be sent to the grassroots level for training. Even if you spit in the face of the current emperor, he will not kill you. The name Renzong is not given in vain, and he is the most benevolent and righteous emperor in history.
Everyone who knew it said Liang Chuan was helping Yang Qi, but those who didn't know it thought Liang Chuan was going to torture Yang Qi to death!
For the sake of Yang Qi's "future", Liang Chuan organized the members of the intelligence team to copy big-character posters in the middle of the night, in which they wrote about Yang Chongxun and Yang Qi's dirty materials, and went to great lengths to deliver the materials to everyone in the court at night. The doorstep of the civil censor's home.
The imperial censors and civil servants were overjoyed when they got this material. They finally had a chance to use their remaining enthusiasm, and they were all gearing up to sharpen their knives and prepare to operate on the two father and son.
The next day there was a scene at the court meeting.
Yushitai also took great pains to take good care of Yang's father and son. Yang Chongxun taught his son to be incompetent in running the army and should bear the main leadership responsibility, so he ordered him to be demoted to one level. Yang Qi was unforgivable and wanted to serve the country and assassinated him in Shaanxi Road.
When Yang Chongxun heard this decision, his eyes darkened and he almost fainted. What kind of place is Shaanxi Road now? The Li family there was restless and sent troops to plunder every day. The imperial court had long been unhappy with this guy. It was only a matter of time before they sent troops to the northwest. At this time, sending his son to Shaanxi Road was not to send his son to the execution ground. ?
These damn civil servants and censors!
Yang Chongxun had received the news early, and he thought about making some arrangements and changing his career to Lingnan or Southwest. However, these civil servants made it clear that they wanted Yang Qi to be good-looking. Even if the money and salt were not available, Yang Chongxun brought a lot of gold and silver to the door, but no one accepted it.
The civil servants not only didn't want to accept it, but also didn't dare to accept it. This matter involved the diplomatic relations with the Japanese. If the fire burned on him, who knew whether he would die along with Yang Qi, the unlucky guy.
After the appointment, Yang Qi went to Shaanxi Road with peace of mind.
Liang Chuan also laughed. As the saying goes, a general starts from a soldier. If this boy has his father's intention, he will be able to achieve a few military exploits and become a prince in the future. When he comes back, he will be confident. At that time, others can interfere with whoever he wants to marry. Can we talk?
By sending Yang Qi and punishing Yang Chongxun, the court had an explanation for the Japanese. Ah Guo spoke so righteously, but in fact it was all under Liang Chuan's instruction, and his purpose was to force Yang Qi to go down to the grassroots level to gain experience. Now that the purpose was achieved, they couldn't hold on to him any longer.
The next step is to talk about trade.
The Song Dynasty had only one request in this matter, which was not to have any trade relations with the Liao Kingdom. It didn't matter how other Japanese countries wanted to trade. The attitude of the Japanese state was also very sincere. The two sides signed a special trade agreement. The Japanese stated that as long as the Genji still dominates the Japanese state, the Japanese state will never trade with the Liao state.
The Japanese even added that in order to consolidate the diplomatic relations between the two countries, if the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty went to war in the future, the Song Dynasty could send people to repair books to the island country, and the island country was willing to send troops to assist. Zhao Zhen was moved by this and rewarded The mission has many rare treasures, and the new self-study book recognizes the close and friendly relations between the two countries.
Liang Chuan was also found, and the relationship between the two countries was established. After leaving Aguo, they decided not to return to the island country. Although Bian Qing was nostalgic for the beauty and prosperity of the Song Dynasty, after visiting for a few days, they also decided to return to the island country to recover their lives.
Bian Qing and his party will not return directly to the island country. The next step will be the north wind. They will first go south to trade with the Song Dynasty and then return to the island country.
Before leaving, Liang Chuan also wrote a letter to Minamoto Yoritomo.
No one else knows the content of the letter. Liang Chuan repeatedly warned Bian Qing that he would rather risk his life to deliver the letter to Minamoto Yoritomo, otherwise the letter would be destroyed.
Bian Qing always thought that Liang Chuan was performing a mysterious mission. The letter contained in it was of course a national secret. In his mind, loyalty was paramount and he could leave his life behind. Naturally, he could not go against his own beliefs.
In fact, Liang Chuan didn't write anything in the letter, he just advised Yuanshi.
"Children must be well nurtured and taught the art of benevolence and righteousness, as well as the art of maneuvering. If they become a generation of outstanding emperors, it will not only be a blessing for the people of the island country, but also for the people of the Song Dynasty. The two countries are friendly neighbors separated by a strip of water. , the Han people are the toughest and most difficult to assimilate people in the world, and they are also the most creative people in the world. Many ethnic groups in history will covet this land, but the final outcome will always be the same. Each foreign ethnic group disappears. , the Han people are still standing on this land."
"If you want Japan to develop better and the people in your country live a good life, they will support the rule of your Genji family. How to do this? Our current Zhao Guan family must be the best example. You can send more The envoys came to the Song Dynasty to learn from their experience, so that they can teach our children when they return!"
"If we can educate our children to be a wise monarch, history will remember our achievements in the future. I hope that one day you will take your children and develop the relationship between our two countries in a more peaceful direction. If you educate your children Those are some violent and barbaric thoughts, so I’m sorry, I will use a whip to teach him a lesson in the future!”
The signature is just two words - Liang Chuan!
He could actually control the situation in the island country, but he was just a common and low-level toiling member of the Song Dynasty. There were thousands of people like him in the Song Dynasty. I do not want people from the two countries to go to war because of some people's selfish interests. I hope that the tradition of friendship can be inherited. Anyone who damages this relationship must be absolutely eradicated now or in the future.
Another point is that the country can never be locked at any time. The world is changing. Only countries that keep pace with the times and understand the development of the world will progress.
In the past, he would never worry about people drinking broth if he was a carrot-eater, but it is different now. His son has become the ruler of the island country. With this relationship, Genji will listen to it to some extent. In my own words, if the two countries can avoid war, the situation may be different in a thousand years.
Liang Chuan knew very well the harm of seclusion. The two countries were hundreds of years behind the world because of their original seclusion. The island country felt the benefits of reform in advance, and finally set its sights on the East. If we keep progressing, will these things happen? Maybe history will change. .
Willows cling to the banks of the Bian River. Liang Chuan and A Guo watched among the crowd as Bian Qing's fleet came and went along the river. Bian Qing returned with dozens of boats loaded with treasures and products.
There were still so many people watching on the Bianhe River, but no one noticed the inconspicuous Liangchuan.
