Chapter 32 Envoy from Liao
Su Jinghe took a look at the gossip in the system and recalled the person just now. It didn’t look like him.
That's not the case! He looks so serious, like the type who would seriously reject any joke he makes, saying, "That's not funny."
Is this true?!
Su Xun was shocked when he heard the voice. Which teacher was he talking about? Teacher Zhao? It didn't look like that!
"His Majesty and all the officials are here." A teacher hurried over and whispered to Su Xun and Su Jinghe.
In other words, their positions were far away from the students, otherwise if they were heard, they would be shocked.
"What!?" Su Xun nearly jumped up in anger. "Hurry up and arrange it. There's nothing here..."
"Not here." The teacher's next sentence made Su Xun and Su Jinghe feel relieved.
There are so many people here, and...
"It's not safe, it's not safe here. I remember there's a library up ahead that can accommodate a lot of people. Let's go there."
Su Jinghe really wanted to move that group of people as far away as possible, and the library was the farthest place he could think of for this speech.
The teacher didn't expect that Su Jinghe wanted to arrange a place for His Majesty, and he was happy about it.
"Mr. Su, you're right. It's over there. The adults went up to the second floor..."
"I'll take people to the first floor?" Su Jinghe understood the implication, and when he saw the man nod, he felt it was even more outrageous.
No? I'm going to give this speech in front of my top leaders and colleagues?
Why didn't you tell me earlier? If you had told me earlier, I would have prepared more seriously.
Su Jinghe was stunned by this "great good news" and was unable to come back to his senses for a full minute. When he came to his senses, his classmates were already evacuating in earnest.
"Teacher Su, we're waiting for you!"
"It's a shame our arrangements are already done. Please go slow and we'll go over there and set up ours first. It will only take us a stick of incense!"
I don’t know who came up with the idea to make some arrangements, but the students who were not very enthusiastic at first suddenly had a light in their eyes.
Everyone is ready, but Su Jinghe is not ready yet. He has spoken in the court only a few times. Now he is asked to make this report in front of everyone?
Isn’t that too much to ask?
"Wake up, are you awake?" Song Shiyi poked Su Jinghe.
Su Jinghe looked at him expectantly, hoping that he would say words that would make him happy.
"I just thought about it and I feel that your speech is not very good..."
Song Shiyi coughed when he said this.
And then what? Are you going to take the stage for me? Don't feel sorry for me. I don't want this chance to shine.
Su Jinghe looked at Song Shiyi.
Song Shiyi and Su Jinghe looked at each other for a second. No one knew what he was thinking. He looked very embarrassed and slapped a piece of paper in front of Su Jinghe, speaking very quickly.
"This is the speech I just rethought for you. Take a look at it and then speak according to it. Be a little more formal in front of the adults."
"I beg you, please give the speech for me!"
Su Jinghe took the speech in his hand, took a look at it twice, and decided to give up his moral integrity. He collapsed on the ground and hugged Song Shiyi's thighs, hoping that this person could have a little conscience and save him, an ordinary salted fish, from the dire straits.
"Give up! The adults are definitely here to see you!"
Song Shiyi knew without even thinking that the idea of coming here must have been His Majesty's, and he was 100% here to see Su Jinghe.
That's natural.
"Your Majesty, it's not very safe for so many of us to come here." Fan Zhongyan whispered to Song Renzong, trying to persuade him to at least stay in a safe place for a while.
He was called back early because the Liao Kingdom was about to reach Bianliang in another month.
In the words of Song Renzong, there are not many people in the Song Dynasty who are praised by Su Jinghe, and those who are on the list must be there.
not to mention……
Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi, along with Di Qing, all made great contributions in the war against Xia. The Liao Kingdom came to show off and let them know that the Song Dynasty was not to be trifled with!
Song Renzong frowned at Fan Zhongyan's advice, and seemed to think for a while before speaking, "Xiwen, what did that person who thought he was a member of the royal family do?"
No? Why are you thinking about this?
Fan Zhongyan felt helpless. Why bother about what other people were thinking? Isn't it a waste of time to think about the thoughts of such a stupid person?
"Perhaps he is trying to find a way to get close to the royal family, and then appear before His Majesty to prove that he is the hidden gem of the royal family?"
Fan Zhongyan still doted on him very much, and he actually gave Song Renzong a guess.
Lu Yijian, who heard his guess, rolled his eyes, and then continued to write and draw on the notebook he brought out. It was not like handling official documents, but it was better than handling official documents.
"That sounds reasonable. I don't know what the truth is. Oh, why don't you continue talking?"
Song Renzong was a little expectant and was thinking how great it would be if he could talk to Su Jinghe openly about this matter.
If he wanted to know something, he could just ask Su Jinghe directly. There was no need to think about it like this and still not get any result.
I really want to know the sequel...
But that’s definitely not the way to know it!
Song Renzong listened to the duet performance in the audience with dead eyes.
"Classmates, hello everyone, we meet again. The topic of my speech this time is - How to make yourself a useful person."
Let me see that melon. A member of the royal family, Zhao Desheng? Oh, his original name was Chen Desheng, no, so why did he change his last name? How did the government approve of that? Oh, they didn't approve, so he just used a fake ID? He can even be a teacher with that? You should have said it earlier, I'd have faked my ID and become a teacher too.
Aren’t you a teacher now?
Song Renzong listened to these two completely different parts of the content and couldn't understand why people could think in their heads and say completely different things with their mouths.
Doesn't he speak without thinking?
Why don’t you use the version I prepared?
When Song Shiyi heard Su Jinghe's opening remarks, he knew that he was still using the original version, but the original version was too full of nonsense. It was okay to talk about it with students in school, but now that so many big guys have come, it’s not appropriate to talk about it!
But Su Jinghe didn't have time to care about whether it was appropriate or not.
Mainly because he was really nervous...
The content can be remembered for a short time, but the content in short-term memory cannot be perfectly reproduced! But the original manuscript...
It's really great. Now I have muscle memory, and I can repeat the lines, actions, and expressions exactly as they are. I don't have to think at all, and I can even find time to read gossip.
Gossip is great! Gossip is wonderful! I wasn't nervous at all when watching it! I could speak my lines more easily and smoothly.
He was happy, but the others were not happy at all when they heard what he said.
in particular……
"No, we have very strict screening. How could someone get a job at this school with a fake ID?"
The ministers were as anxious as people on a hot pot. They kept cursing how scalding it was while trying to find a way to save themselves.
There are those who refuse to admit it no matter what - because this school can be regarded as an official pilot grassroots school, and there are loopholes in the work here. Isn't this a slap in their faces?
There are also those who try to shirk responsibility - "I think his identity must have been confirmed before he came to Bian Jing, and the fake certificate has real effect after being stamped by the grassroots level, so it has nothing to do with us"!
There are also people who simply accept their fate and think about whether they can save their lives if His Majesty starts to deal with it - "Maybe my responsibility in there is not that big? I have been demoted three levels now, so it seems there is room for improvement."
It's a mess too.
Including Su Xun, everyone was very busy.
Because he found that Zhao Desheng, no, Chen Desheng, was going to the second floor where His Majesty was!
No, what are you doing on the second floor?
"Teacher Zhao, Teacher Zhao, we can't go up there. We can just maintain order down there. If you have something to do, you can leave here and take care of your own business. There's no need to go up and explain the situation."
Su Xun felt that he was capable enough to find excuses for others.
Unfortunately, the other party didn't appreciate it at all.
"I'm different from you." Chen Desheng's expression was still so cold at this time.
Su Xun didn't know if he had added a filter to the image or what, but he really felt that he could see from his expression what he meant, "I am a descendant of a noble family."
It can't be true, right?
Su Xun didn't understand. What he heard last time had already had a great impact on him.
I had been hearing normal voices for the past few days without any auditory hallucinations, but the next time I heard it was this inexplicable thing about "thinking I was a member of the royal family".
Besides! Why is it the time for his nephew to give a speech at school?
Could it be that Su Jinghe...is not compatible with the school?
Su Jinghe himself didn't feel anything at all. He thought about this melon for a while and found it quite interesting.
[Let me see, this person worked so hard to come to this school, how is he trying to prove that he is a royal family member?
Wait…no?
As soon as he arrived in Bian Jing, he heard that His Majesty had appointed Zhao Xin as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and had found a teacher for him, Su Jinghe.
Su Jinghe came from a small place and had no background. He had two connections in Bian Jing: his aunt who ran a restaurant and his uncle who taught at a college.
Chen Desheng, having some knowledge, decided to come to the academy and take advantage of the proximity, hoping to get to know the Crown Prince's teacher's uncle and thus become acquainted with His Majesty. No, while your six-person rule for knowing His Majesty might work, it's incredibly impossible to implement. Who would inexplicably meet a friend of a teacher? It's not his own teacher, it's his son's teacher...
Su Jinghe never thought that he had something to do with this?
If he were not the protagonist, he would probably have joked that this was no different from someone becoming a civil servant and using family connections to try to get to know national leaders, only to end up being just a grassroots civil servant.
And laugh at what circle is so funny...
It turned out that this circle was his, and he was the unlucky guy who was about to be in trouble...
Ah, luckily my uncle is more reliable...
Su Jinghe, who was watching the show, felt that this was the only blessing in disguise. His uncle would never let him do such an outrageous thing!
But what he didn't expect was that his complaints made a few people who knew that "the prince's teacher was him" and "the voice in his heart was also him" secretly turn their attention to His Majesty.
Song Renzong felt these gazes and felt a little uneasy.
Su Jinghe himself didn't know that if he told Song Renzong that he wanted to take Song Renzong to meet someone, Song Renzong would really agree.
This person has no bottom line towards him, and he is even very interested in who this person is.
Why.
Su Jinghe is a man with a magical weapon! What if he wants to bring me a modern-day Han Xin or a Song Dynasty Zhuge Liang? Who can refuse?
Song Renzong only thought about this in his mind. He knew that if he said it out loud, he would probably be severely criticized by his ministers.
This guy is truly insane. How could he possibly know His Majesty? How strong is his evidence?
No, um... he heard that the emperor of the current dynasty... ah, heard the story of "The Substitute Prince for a Cat", and then found that he also had a cat at home, so he felt that he was the same as the emperor of the current dynasty, and then... it turned out that he was also a member of the royal family of the Song Dynasty?
Damn it, this guy is crazy, really crazy! 】
Su Jinghe felt like he had bitten into a rotten melon. He was so angry that he turned off the system directly and was no longer interested in the future.
He dared to speak, but others didn't dare to listen.
No? Do you dare to say something like this directly?
Everyone, including Lu Yijian, was stunned. They wanted to prove on the spot that they were actually deaf and blind and could not understand what Su Jinghe was saying at all.
No one dared to look at Song Renzong's expression.
Song Renzong himself was fine.
He even felt that this was not as serious as the last time when Su Jinghe scolded him for outsourcing his filial piety by defending the Li family.
There was a very unlucky person present.
It was Su Xun who was standing next to Zhao Desheng.
When Su Xun heard Zhao Desheng's outrageous yet simple train of thought, he couldn't believe his ears.
No normal person could think of such a thing.
But soon, reality did not allow Su Xun to think logically, because Zhao Desheng did not know what he was thinking. With a firm expression and agile movements, he rushed directly to the stairs!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am..." Zhao Desheng shouted loudly as he walked, trying to attract other people's attention.
In fact, Zhao Desheng didn't want to be so "unseemly".
When he knew that the emperor was coming, he was ecstatic. He felt that it was his charm that finally made Su Xun understand that his identity was not simple.
If this were not the case, how could it be that Su Xun's nephew, the prince's teacher, came to the academy to give a speech today, and then His Majesty followed?
He must have known he was here and came to identify him!
For this reason, Zhao Desheng even took the initiative to stand next to Su Xun, wanting to wait for this man to take him to meet His Majesty and explain his status as a member of the Song Dynasty royal family. He must be a king, right? No longer an ordinary commoner!
As a result, he condescended to wait beside Su Xun for a long time, only to hear his nephew talking on the stage, saying things like "Every walk of life has its use, no matter what you do, you must be serious and be a good member of the society."
No? He, Zhao Desheng! How could he be a blade of grass or a tree? He’s a dragon, a real dragon!
"Stop him!" It didn't matter that no one knew Zhao Desheng, but because they had just heard Su Jinghe's bizarre story, and his inexplicable voice, the ministers bravely stepped forward, asking the guards to stop the man while they themselves blocked the way for His Majesty.
Su Jinghe continued his performance in the audience as if nothing had happened, calmly as if this was the repertoire he had arranged long ago.
Because of his calmness, the classmates did not get upset because of Zhao Desheng's strange behavior, and even listened to Su Jinghe's speech seriously!
The performance ended in a whimper, just as Su Jinghe himself felt that the development was outrageous.
"It can't be considered a tiger head, right?" Song Shiyi recalled how Su Jinghe woke him up this morning to climb the mountain with great effort. He even wanted to comment on Su Jinghe as a "vicious man with a heart of a snake and scorpion". This man is really poisonous!
"Sure enough, I am a salted fish blessed by God. I don't know why this guy rushed forward, but the bosses seemed to have predicted it and didn't let him make trouble at all." Su Jinghe thought for a while.
"Thanks to this episode, my speech ended successfully and no one has commented on it yet." Because His Majesty had already gone down the mountain under the escort of the ministers, and no one remembered to comment on him at all.
"This matter hasn't become a big deal, so it won't affect me." The only ones affected were Zhao Desheng and the ministers who had helped Zhao Desheng to forge evidence. The former had been imprisoned, and the latter were anxiously waiting to be liquidated.
After thinking about it, Su Jinghe really felt that he was the chosen one.
“How lucky!”
"Haha, lucky, lucky." Song Shiyi, who knew how the ministers made their "predictions", even felt a little envious of Su Jinghe.
Although his true feelings were discovered, he also benefited from it. Not only does his words carry a lot of weight in His Majesty's heart, but also, look, such an accident has no impact on others at all.
Maybe they will have something to calm you down tomorrow!
In fact, it was delivered that evening.
Song Renzong thought about it and realized that he was not able to comment on Su Jinghe's performance. He originally wanted to tell his son and daughter his thoughts on Su Jinghe's speech and ask them to repeat it.
As a result, the two of them strongly requested to give their little teacher a gift to calm him down.
So I really gave it to him.
"We are smart, aren't we? This way we don't have to listen to Daddy's evaluation." Princess Fukang looked at Su Jinghe and asked for credit. "Teacher, are we doing the right thing?"
"That's right!" Zui Xinglai still spoke the Three Character Classic version. Su Jinghe even suspected that Zui Xinglai kept saying this because he found it easier to speak this way, because his grades were obviously improving, and it was impossible that his speaking skills had not improved at all.
"Thank you so much, you are really the teacher's lucky star!"
Su Jinghe really didn't want to hear any comments. He was afraid that what he heard would be criticism, which would hurt his fragile heart!
"Today, the teacher is taking everyone to an after-school practice session! Let's do a jigsaw puzzle outdoors. I asked someone to research a puzzle from the Hundred Family Names. Let's do it together!"
Su Jinghe felt like a genius, learning while having fun!
Moreover, if this kind of "Hundred Family Surnames" puzzle appeared at any other time, I would be rejected. Only when we were doing it together at school, it suddenly felt very interesting.
——
A month passed quickly.
The Liao envoys who were rumored to be coming to Bian Jing finally arrived.
"Were they originally coming to our side?" Su Jinghe thought about it, but couldn't remember. He only remembered that Han Qi went to the Liao Kingdom, but Han Qi has now gone there and come back?
Is the current timeline of our Song Dynasty the same as the original timeline?
Su Jinghe has some doubts...
But soon there was no time to think about this, because——
"No? Who on earth is spreading the rumor that I want to support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne?"
Su Jinghe was in disbelief. He looked at Song Shiyi and pointed at himself, "I will support His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to ascend to the throne?"
"Yes." This was the news that spread recently, a day before the envoys. Song Shiyi was also surprised when he heard it.
This news would have some effect if any of the protagonists were replaced.
It’s a pity that it’s the person in front of me. Your Majesty should not be provoked by such news.
"Me?" Su Jinghe thought for a moment and added a modifier to himself, "Me, this salted fish? I play little games with the princes every day in class. Am I supporting them to ascend to the throne?"
As an assistant teacher, Song Shiyi knew it all very well. Sometimes this person would prepare lessons seriously, but sometimes he would just play around. This was something His Majesty could tolerate.
What Song Shiyi didn't know was that Song Renzong actually also liked to play some of the small games, such as puzzles, which were very interesting. He had already asked people to copy calligraphy and paintings, preparing to play with them himself.
"Your Highness? The Crown Prince whom I taught and who can only speak in three words? I support him? Even if we really form an alliance, we can only serve as mascots in the court."
Su Jinghe has a very thorough understanding of himself and Zui Xinglai's current strength.
Song Shiyi knew this too. He was actually a victim of this rumor as well. "My family background is better than yours, but your aunt is very good at making money. Some people even say that your family is as rich as a country."
Su Jinghe thought about this line of thought.
"Thinking about it this way, I am the Lü Buwei of the current dynasty, right? But my aunt's property is not mine either."
"I want to..." I want to see who is slandering me!
Su Jinghe got carried away and stopped talking halfway. Fortunately, Song Shiyi was quite cooperative and pretended that he didn't hear Su Jinghe's slip of the tongue.
[#The power of rumors. After the rise of the Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty took measures to contain it.
Huh? Measures? That's it?]
The Liao Kingdom was behind this?
Song Shiyi actually thought it was a business competitor of Su Jing and his aunt.
Because Cheng Jiamin's girls' school was really opened, and after the female merchants gathered together, many shops in Bianjing looked like they had a new look.
Plus Cheng Jiamin does make money...
But the person behind this rumor is Liao Kingdom...
Song Shiyi was also speechless. They were...
Wait, Song Shiyi looked at the person in front of him. He was young, indeed young, only twenty years old.
He is smart, really smart. He got the third place in the imperial examination. He is smart and good-looking.
His current position is still the Prince's Tutor! Taifu, not Shaofu.
Even though everyone in the know knew that it was just an honorary position, even Su Jing and himself knew that it could be taken back at any time, after all, he was not worthy of the position.
but……
"Could it be that your official position is too high, causing others to…" Song Shiyi didn't say the next words, but Su Jinghe already understood.
"Ah, I'm young and promising. I've already achieved such success at such a young age. Perhaps the current development of the Song Dynasty is also closely related to me? Even if it has nothing to do with me, as many as I can help, it's better. If the Song Dynasty is in civil strife, the Liao Kingdom will definitely benefit..."
When Su Jinghe said this, his face and mind were stiff. He even felt that the system might have eaten his brain when he was reading the system's gossip just now.
What kind of brain circuit can come up with such a thing!
"That's...that's all." Han Qi was receiving envoys from the Liao Kingdom at this time.
This is currently one of his responsibilities.
Originally, he didn't think about who attacked Su Jinghe. He thought it was a colleague who disliked Su Jinghe because he had ulterior motives.
This is indeed possible. After all, Su Jinghe seems lazy at the moment, but he holds an official position that no one else has ever held.
Han Qi thought it was normal for people who knew he had a voice, and those who didn't, to be jealous of him and thus plot against him.
Man is inherently good at birth, but some people are not really magnanimous. They think that what others have gained is what they have lost.
Song Renzong had his own explanation for promoting Su Jinghe. As we all know, the transformation of gunpowder and the introduction of papermaking personnel were closely related to Su Jinghe. With such achievements, it was normal to give him an honorary position to take care of children.
This position has no real power, at most it can contact the little prince... but even such little princes don't have real power! It's not much different from being a tutor.
Now that Han Qi knew it was the Liao Kingdom, he felt it was normal.
Some people just don't have brains...
For example, it is quite brainless to try to ask him or to belittle him and praise Su Jinghe's envoy.
"I heard in Liao that Su Jinghe was a promising young man who became a favorite of His Majesty at such a young age..."
"Yes, I don't know if this gentleman..."
It was a very low-level comparison, and Han Qi didn't even want to accept it.
But then he thought again, it would be much better to let the Liao Kingdom waste its efforts on Su Jinghe than to let them waste their efforts on others.
Han Qi lowered his eyes in thought, and when he looked up again, there were already tears in his eyes.
"Alas, great ambitions are hard to achieve, talents are not appreciated, and villains are allowed to succeed in the court."
Oops, I accidentally overacted!
When Han Qi said this, he felt like he was crying, and he felt like he had ruined the performance.
But he didn't expect that the other party would really fall for his trick.
"Mr. Han, it's not easy for you. It's not easy for you to come into contact with this..." It seemed as if he wanted to chat further.
hiss……
It's really stupid.
Han Qi was thinking this, but the show didn't stop at all. It was really fun to play the fool.
——
After the Liao Kingdom came, Su Jinghe began to attend morning court sessions, and his teaching time was suspended.
The latter made Su Jinghe happy, but the former not.
The pause could have just been stopped and let me rest at home. Damn it, I have no use for the court, so just let me lie down at home.
Su Jinghe's inner thoughts seemed to be written on his face, and Song Shiyi could see it clearly.
But it doesn't work.
I really have to have him.
"One of the soldiers guarding the city left his post inexplicably the day before yesterday."
[Wow, so she was having a secret meeting with her lover, but she turned out to be the mistress and got beaten by her husband... Hmm... Two married people having a secret meeting is incredible. Wait... Not only was she beaten, but her husband didn't care about gender... and forced himself on a straight man. So she could have come in the afternoon, but her anus was too painful, so she didn't come... Sss...]
hiss……
The ministers' faces also turned pale. What was going on?
It's disgraceful!
"Inexplicably, many people in and around Bianjing started collecting salt, and even raised the price of salt."
My God, this guy is from Liao! Are they crazy? Even if they really need salt, there's no need to buy it in Bianjing, right?
Hmm... So the Liao finally realized that the Song Dynasty's wool purchase was too oppressive for them. They ordered their people to stop selling wool to the Song Dynasty, but no one listened... So they came up with the idea of buying salt from the Song Dynasty like crazy, driving up the price, and then selling it at a higher price... What a shame, selling salt illegally is illegal, otherwise I'd be drying seawater and selling salt to these people now... The Liao people are too easy to make money, right? Is this the aftermath of putting all the skill points into physical strength and forgetting to increase intelligence? I feel like I'm getting scammed.
Fraud...
Some people in the Ministry of Revenue were really tempted. Although they didn't know how to make salt more convenient, the Song Dynasty was indeed not short of salt...
I don’t know how much money the Liao Kingdom is willing to spend to buy salt. Why not really sell them a batch and exchange the salt in stock for real money? It would be a great thing to think about it.
"There's a rumor going around Jiangnan that someone saw a white deer descend into the world, and they want to present this auspicious sign to Your Majesty."
"Ah, will Emperor Renzong of Song give me money? If so, I can also artificially create an auspicious sign... Although this white deer is real, albinos aren't that hard to find. I'll work hard to cultivate it, and after ten years, I'll give you a white deer every year... How much will Your Majesty give me this time?"
Your Majesty: Not at all!
"The remnants of Li Yuanhao's army have begun to move in Yinchuan..."
[This is fake. Using Li Yuanhao as an excuse to claim the throne is insane. It would be better to claim to be Qin Shi Huang. Perhaps he would be more popular than Li Yuanhao. Would the people in Yinchuan still follow Li Yuanhao's men?]
That certainly won't happen.
The efficiency of the court has been greatly improved because of Su Jinghe's presence!
Song Shiyi sighed as he looked at Su Jinghe, who was listening to the morning court and eating melons at the same time and contributing his own efforts to the morning court.
What could be more efficient than this? Cases that take half a night to investigate can be solved with just one glance at Su Jinghe's place!
In addition to these trivial matters, this morning court also has a core theme.
"The Liao Kingdom's envoy is also a sign of goodwill towards our Song Dynasty. Why don't we send something as a gift?"
This was Su Jinghe's own conclusion after listening to what these people said. His face turned bad when he heard it.
[Sending gifts? No way? Who else is so eager to serve the Liao Kingdom as a dog? If you want to be a dog, can you do it yourself? Enjoying this feeling of being inferior? Then enjoy it yourself, don't drag us, the Great Song, into it!]
"If they don't send us anything, then as a next best option, we can sign a new non-aggression treaty with them."
[We just showed off our muscles, why are we in such a hurry?]
Su Jinghe's strength remains undiminished, and he is still very dissatisfied with the "slavishness" of some people. Almost every time someone mentions something, he will criticize them.
Song Shiyi, who was standing next to him, had to change his expression to coordinate with him. He was one of the smokescreens used to confuse some uninformed people in the court. Now some people still thought that he was the owner of the voice.
After proposing for a long time, someone finally suggested something that made Su Jinghe happy. The person who proposed it was Fan Zhongyan.
"Invite them so we can demonstrate a military exercise? That's fine, I agree! But the invitation still makes me feel a little uncomfortable. After all, it's a rare opportunity for a major military exercise, and our Majesty must show up, even if it's just for a little while, and the other side hasn't shown up to their Majesty."
That’s true.
Fan Zhongyan originally thought that the appearance of the current soldiers was very different from before, so it was a good opportunity to show it to these people and tell them that the Song Dynasty was no longer a soft persimmon.
but……
Song Renzong was really moved.
When he was scolded before, he always felt that both himself and the Song Dynasty were useless in Su Jinghe's heart.
I didn't expect the other party to praise him so much! He even couldn't stand him and Da Song being wronged in the slightest.
move!
Su Jinghe thought to himself, "Black fans are also fans."
It would be nice if we could train our troops. Hey, we could even practice on our own in the future. It seems completely impossible right now. Otherwise, we'd have to march out as a whole. It seems absurd to march out of Bianjing and go anywhere else.
Su Jinghe was naturally thinking about the military exercises between countries in the future, or perhaps...
"How about we just hold the drill in Bianjing City and say we'll do it every day... Ah... That doesn't seem to work either, with our current level... Tsk."
Su Jinghe compared the standards of the Song Dynasty with those of the modern times. The modern military style of China is unique.
Others didn’t know and thought he looked down on the Song Dynasty.
Do it, you must do it.
Since he is not satisfied, he really has to have a military exercise to gain the approval of the Liao Kingdom, especially the people who support him!
Our Song Dynasty is really different now than it was in the past!
Su Jinghe didn't know why everyone's enthusiasm for discussing this had increased a lot, but it was also very interesting to listen to everyone's imagination.
[Oh, that's great! I almost thought the pro-war faction had the upper hand. But when I thought about the Song Dynasty, my heart sank. It was just a temporary illusion.]
The Great Song Dynasty...Oh, the Great Song Dynasty!
As Su Jinghe thought about it, he started to think of emo again.
——
"Hey?! What is that?!"
The consequence of Su Jinghe not going to work was that he was hit by things at home.
It was outrageous. A particularly large "hydrangea" somehow fell directly on his head.
"Whose is it?" Su Jinghe stood there and looked around, but he didn't see the familiar Su Shi.
"Oh, he and Jing went to study today."
Studying is fake, eating is real.
Since the weather turned cold, the food and drink in the Imperial College has become richer. After Su Shi tasted the dessert brought back by his brother once, he wanted to eat it a second time. As a result, he really found an opportunity. These days, the Imperial College allows students to bring a relative to visit.
Relative Su Shi visited the cafeteria and ate and drank there every day, feeling very happy.
There was no one else at home. Su Jinghe looked at the hydrangea in his hand, thought for a while, threw it aside, and continued to lie down.
This made the people outside very anxious. They waited for about an hour and found that no one was taking out the things they had thrown in, so they became extremely anxious.
"Isn't it said that in the Song Dynasty, anyone who receives a bouquet must look for the person who threw it?"
"Yeah, I heard that."
The two Liao envoys didn't understand, but there was nothing they could do, so they prepared this hydrangea.
There are letters they have written inside the hydrangea, and they are prepared to have the best of both worlds!
"Let's go. After he sees this, he will probably come looking for us."
"Really? It would be better if we talked face to face."
The content of the letter was actually very simple. It stated directly that if Su Jinghe was willing to join hands with the Liao Kingdom to undermine Song Renzong, they would work hard to help Su Jinghe!
Unfortunately, Su Jinghe did not show up until someone knocked on the door to claim the hydrangea.
"The people of Liao Kingdom really don't have good brains." When Han Qi heard that Liao Kingdom had attacked Su Jinghe again, he hurried over and finally saw the hydrangea and the things inside.
"And they're very stupid..." Fan Zhongyan arrived earlier than him and heard that the two men waited outside the door for an hour without any result and then left.
"This thing was delivered by the secret guard who knocked on the door directly, and then Su Jinghe had someone deliver it..." The process of getting it was so easy.
Lu Yijian also didn't understand why the Liao Kingdom went to so much trouble to throw this thing at the door, and then wasted time waiting after throwing it in, and then just left when no one showed up?
"It's really stupid..." After hearing the whole story, Song Renzong felt sympathy for Yelu Zongzhen.
Is there no one who can use it? Even idiots use it.
Isn’t this one in our family very smart?
Zhang Dexiang wanted to say this, but he didn't say it yet.
But… there are so many things that can be done to manipulate this series of operations. If it weren't for Su Jinghe, if there weren't so many secret guards watching him…
This really means that whatever the Liao Kingdom wants to do has the possibility of success.
This simple and crude method is used by the wrong person.
If it is not directed at Su Jinghe, it would be a particularly useful method.
"What should we do now?" Everyone was confused.
"Let's wait and see." Song Renzong made the decision.
About three days later, the Liao envoys, who still hadn't waited for Su Jinghe, became angry and spread a second batch of rumors.
"I have connections with the Liao Kingdom? I want to work with them and betray the Song Dynasty?" Su Jinghe's eyes widened.
"Is there something wrong with me recuperating at home? Am I dreaming?"
"No." Song Shiyi felt that this scene was familiar. Last time, it was said that Su Jinghe wanted to support the little prince to ascend to the throne, but this time it turned into direct treason.
"But your rumors are much more capable than you are. You sound very scheming and deep."
"Go to hell." Su Jinghe confirmed the source of the scandal again in a bad mood.
It's the Liao Dynasty again.
"The Liao Kingdom is really sick, right? I let them off last time for spreading rumors about me. Do they want me to let them off this time? Am I here to let them off for fun?"
"But this method is indeed disgusting. You can't clarify it rashly. It's hard for others to prove their own dirty water..." Song Shiyi put himself in the situation. If he encountered such a thing, he would really have no way to defend himself.
Su Jinghe thought for a moment and said, "We won't try to prove ourselves. Let them spread the rumors, and we'll spread something too."
"You spread rumors too?" Song Shiyi thought about it and realized that Su Jinghe had seen too much gossip, so he was probably more likely to spread rumors than others.
"I tell you the truth." Su Jinghe raised his head like a victorious little rooster, "If I don't get angry, you'll really be taking me for a pushover!"
