Li Duanyuan is the son of the eldest princess of Wei State.
The eldest princess of the Wei Kingdom is the sister of Zhenzong, and today's officials all respectfully call her aunt.
The eldest son, Li Duanyi, was awarded the title of Deputy Envoy of Rujing when he was seven years old. He served Zhenzong's East Palace as if he were his own son. Later, entering and exiting the palace was like entering his own home.
This shows how favored he is.
Li Duanyi was favored, but he was not arrogant because of his favor. He was gentle and honest. Even the eldest princess of Wei State was very low-key and did not rely on the respect of the officials to act wantonly. She had an excellent reputation in the court.
Li Duanyuan had such a mother and brother who taught him deeply, so his temperament and temperament were naturally not bad.
Even at a young age, many things can only be seen on the surface.
Li Duanyuan has a distinguished status, and if he is here, Shen Min will not be much of anything.
His eyes fell on Gu Qingjue and asked, "What's your name?"
"Student Gu Ziyuan."
After Gu Qingjue finished speaking, Magistrate Wang nodded, took two steps forward and said, "Master Magistrate, this Zhuang Wancai was captured by his design."
Only then did Shen Min start to look at Gu Qingjue.
"I heard not long ago that on the first day of classes in the academy, you played three games with the academy's national player Shen Zhengyuan, winning three out of three games. After half a month of written examination, you won the first place in the freshman examination in the academy."
Shen Min couldn't hide his admiration for Gu Qingjue: "Since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth, which is good."
After hearing what Shen Min said, Su Yixin knew what Gu Qingjue had done in the month since he came to the academy.
No wonder, Li Duanyuan and other fans can be harvested.
She knew that Gu Qingjue was smart and smart. He was smart enough to be able to get the qualifications to be a civil servant at the age of eleven or twelve.
But she didn't expect that Gu Qingjue's IQ was so high.
Songyang Academy, one of the four major academies of the imperial court, is full of talents and has gathered the best people from all over the country. Su Yixin was really surprised that he could shine in the academy in this way among this group of people.
"Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Gu Qingjue's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end.
Shen Min thought of his son lying behind him, his eyes darkened, and he looked at Zhuang Wancai.
"My son is naughty, but his nature is not bad, and he will not hurt others with his words. Even if he unintentionally makes him feel uncomfortable during your relationship, the crime will not lead to death."
"You are his father. Of course you think your son is worthy of death."
"Zhuang Wancai, I have been an official for thirty years and have solved countless cases. I wonder how useful these eyes are. Your hatred for my son is just an act. If a person really hates another person, To the point of wanting to kill him, I know what that look looks like."
Having said this, Zhuang Wancai moved his kneeling feet and twisted his body unnaturally.
And all these actions of his fell into Shen Min's eyes.
"Tell me, what is your identity?"
Zhuang Wancai twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a provocative smile: "Master Shen is so smart, then you can guess!"
"You are from the Liao Kingdom."
This sentence was said by Gu Qingjue.
Shen Min looked at Gu Qingjue with no surprise in his eyes.
On the other hand, Li Duanyuan and the other two looked at Gu Qingjue in surprise: "Ziyuan, how could Zhuang Wancai be from Liao?"
Didn't Su Yixin and Baili Xingcai chase this ghost to the junction of the Song Dynasty and Xixia? It was obvious that it wanted to abscond back to Xixia.
And when he returned home, his eldest brother talked to him more than once about matters in court.
If the Liao Kingdom has always coveted the territory of the Song Dynasty, Xixia has not been idle in recent years, and is even more rampant than the Liao Kingdom.
Therefore, he is more inclined to believe that Zhuang Wancai is Xixia's spy.
In the process of interacting with Shen Shaorong, he showed his flaws and was discovered by Shen Shaorong, so he killed him and silenced him.
In fact, the Liao and Song Dynasties were not always at war. For a period of time, the Liao and Song Dynasties still formed an alliance. The most famous one was that in 1004 AD, the Liao and Song Dynasties signed the "Chanyuan Alliance". The alliance stipulated that, Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty regarded Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao as his aunt, and Shengzong of the Liao Dynasty called Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty as his brother.
After the signing of this covenant, the Song Dynasty would send 100,000 taels of silver and 120,000 bolts of silk to Liao every year. The two dynasties stopped their troops and made a truce, using Baihegou as the border to guard each other and live in peace.
Since then, the disputes between the two dynasties have tended to ease.
But this is only a superficial relaxation. Everyone knows that as long as there is a new and suitable opportunity, the Liao Kingdom will definitely cause trouble again.
I just didn't expect that Liao's spies had penetrated so deeply.
Not long ago, the officials personally sent Taichang Cheng and Shi Guan Xiuzhuan Fu Bi to the Liao Dynasty to congratulate Zhengdan.
At this time, we should be approaching the border of Song and Liao.
But at this time, spies from the Liao Kingdom were discovered and the son of a prefect of a state was killed.
Su Yixin, a person who is not sensitive to politics, also knows the seriousness of the situation.
After the initial shock, Zhuang Wancai, like Li Duanyuan, asked Gu Qingjue: "You said that I am from the Liao Kingdom. That is just a guess on your part. Where is the evidence?"
Gu Qingjue walked up to Zhuang Wancai and picked up the clothes on his arm. There was a wolf head carved on his arm.
"Zhuang Wancai, I asked the students in your academy. They said that you never bathed with them in the three years you came to the academy. Four days ago, after you finished playing Cuju, Shen Shaorong took you to the bathhouse. After you declined, let him My boy brought hot water and when he was about to take a bath, Shen Shaorong suddenly came back."
"That's when Shen Shaorong discovered the wolf head on your arm!"
The people of the Liao Dynasty were the Khitans. They were a people on the grasslands and worshiped wolves. Therefore, men would have wolf heads tattooed on their arms soon after birth. This was a spiritual belief.
Even in the Song Dynasty, they would not erase the wolf heads on their arms.
Zhuang Wancai sneered again: "Yes, I am from the Liao Dynasty, but do you dare to kill me?"
"Your court is bowing down to our Liao Dynasty and paying tribute to us every year. If our emperor finds out and raises an army to prosecute, what do you think your officials will do? Let me guess..."
"Oh, I must be pushing you out to calm the anger of our Emperor of Liao. Even if I die, you won't be able to survive for a few days!"
When Zhuang Wancai said these words, he was as arrogant as he wanted.
Although the two dynasties signed a cease-fire covenant, this covenant was very unfair to the Song Dynasty, because after the disastrous defeat of Yongxi's Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty had always been afraid of the Liao Dynasty, and had turned from the initial active attack to passive defense.
This is reflected in signing the "Chanyuan Alliance".
Our country was afraid of the Liao Dynasty, but the Liao Dynasty pressed on our country step by step and continued to invade southward.
The Liao Dynasty's wolfish ambitions were clearly felt by even a craftsman, just look at how arrogant Zhuang Wancai was.
In this case, what would Shen Ta do?
The text is being revised.
