Chapter 339: Summer Envoy

Zhao Shu frowned and asked, "Why did the envoys of Western Xia clash with their companions?" ”

Sima Guang said: "The minister is the wind heard about the incident, and the summer envoy Wu Zong, the day before yesterday, complained to the Honglu Temple, saying that Gao Yi was indisrespectful, and left it outside for a whole night, and at the same time cut off the supply, and it was not introduced until the next day. This matter is really out of the Song Dynasty. ”

Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, this matter may be due to Xia Envoy's disrespectful remarks and provocations, not necessarily to lead to a loss of honor. ”

Zhao Shu said: "What is the cause of this incident? We can't just listen to one side, can we? Where is Gao Yi now? ”

Sima Guang said: "Now I am at home. ”

Fu Bi said: "Today is a banquet, Junshi, this matter is not a big deal, why not discuss it later?" ”

Sima Guang said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks this is a big deal. The young monarch of Western Xia ascended to the throne, did not know the state politics, and always acted arbitrarily, relying on the border plug and the people. What happened to the summer envoy this time, if it is not just, it will be reported to his lord when he goes back, and he is afraid that the border of this year will be difficult to find peace. ”

Han Qi was displeased: "I suggested stabbing Shaanxi Xiangyong, and in the blink of an eye, you could get 200,000 troops, but you also stopped it again and again." If I have a soldier to fear, where do I have to fear? ”

Sima Guang said: "I have made it very clear, if the tattoo is a strong army, then the hundreds of thousands of tattooed characters in Hedong, Hebei Province before, can it play a role?" In Hedong, Hebei, the township peasants are unbearable, and it is already difficult to cultivate on weekdays, and they have to deal with the conquest after the tattoo, according to me, that is the maladministration of the previous dynasty. Not only can Shaanxi not work, but even Hebei and Hedong should also be abolished! ”

Fu Bi stood on Han Qi's side in this matter: "Three generations, the Han and Tang dynasties, are all from the people as soldiers, so although there are many of them and their support is very thin, they can also maintain all directions and subdue the four empires." The Tang Dynasty Mansion Soldiers, the most ancient, only because Tianbao could not be restored after the abolition, only to follow the five generations. ”

"Junshi only saw the suffering of the peasants, and the soldiers of the Long March were not even more bitter? Not being able to fight is still one of them, and being trapped in the world and not being able to give it is a disaster! ”

"The redundant soldiers accumulated in recent times have become the biggest burden of the Great Song Dynasty, the imperial court can no longer bear the addition of regular soldiers, and there are police in Western Xia, so this method is used, don't you know these gentlemen?"

was arguing for a while, and saw that the people from Jingzhao Mansion were coming, Feng Jing was the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, stepped forward to ask a few words, and came back to report: "Your Majesty, the Kaifeng Mansion staff came to report that the Xia envoy was in the shooting range of the South Imperial Garden, and there was a conflict with people again." ”

If you don't pay attention to it now, you have to pay attention to it, Fu Bi is Feng Jing's father-in-law, and he speaks casually: "Who is in conflict with it?" ”

Feng Jing said: "Hui Xianggong, it is Gao Zhisheng, the envoy of Dali, Ahomi, the tribute envoy of Kuizhou, and the transfer judge of Kuizhou, Su You Su Mingrun. ”

Han Qi and Fu Bi glanced at each other: "Su Mingrun has returned to Beijing?" ”

Su Song is a rookie next to Zhao Shu, and this time he also accompanied him, and said to Zhao Shu: "This matter is known to the minister, Meishan is well-printed, and the minister has visited Su Mingyun because of the "Tujing Materia Medica", and wants Su Mingrun to come and see me after returning to Beijing. ”

"This son is young, and from the border, he is not very familiar with the rules and regulations of the imperial court, and when he returned to Beijing, the court and the central government had already dispersed the vacation, so the minister asked him to stay until the end of the seven-day vacation, and then go to the center and the ministry to report on his work."

"Your Majesty, this son is etiquette or wild, but he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he is above the minister. It's a rare talent in my Great Song Dynasty. Even if there is a slight mistake, I beg your Majesty to have mercy on him and treat him with leniency. ”

Listening to a light cough behind the curtain, Zhao Shu bowed sideways: "Please show the Queen Mother." ”

The voice of the Empress Dowager Cao behind the curtain said: "There is no conclusion on which is right and which is wrong, and we must always know the ins and outs of the matter before we can deal with it." ”

Han Qi responded: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, according to the report of the Kuizhou Road Transfer Division, Kui Ren knew that Xiao Su Tanhua was leaving office, and Han Yi gathered in front of the state government to mourn and ask to stay in office. ”

After Xiao Su Tanhua was aware, he hung the seal in the state office overnight and left Kuizhou ahead of schedule. He will not be a person who does not care about the decency of the imperial court. ”

Fu Bi quietly gave Han Qi a flying knife: "Before, Xiao Su Tanhua asked for a trial production department, and his original intention was the same, so the minister believed that he would not act Meng Lang, so it was better to ask Xuanyi." ”

Zhao Shu also nodded: "Reasonable, let them come." ”

Feng Jing hurriedly went down, and after a while, he brought everyone up.

Su You and Gao Zhisheng, Ye Luren calmed down first, Ah Homi and Wu Zong looked angry, Wu Zong's hands were drenched in blood, and they had just been hastily bandaged, and it seemed that they had suffered the most.

Zhao Shu looked at Wu Zong's companion: "Oh? Di Dianzhi, are you there too? ”

Di Yong stepped forward to salute: "Your Majesty, the minister mishandled it, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Zhao Shu waved his hand: "It's good that you're here, let's talk about the ins and outs of the matter." ”

Di Yong straightened up at this time: "Your Majesty, you are all the ministers, this shooting music is the companion of the summer envoy who is the minister." ”

"According to the story, Nanyuan shoots music, and the Great Song Dynasty is accompanied by the messenger to send a crossbow, and then the bow is accompanied."

"First of all, after the Khitan envoys issued crossbows, they talked about the difference between bows and crossbows, thinking that the crossbow power was very weak, and it was not as fast as carving a bow."

Fu Bi asked Yelu Renxian: "Your envoy, was this the case at that time?" ”

Yeluren smiled first and said, "Did Xianggong ask Di Bandang about the brawl he said, or about the merits of the bow and crossbow?" ”

Of course, Fu Bi would not give Ye Luren a chance to despise the crossbow again, and said: "Naturally, it is what Di Bandang said, what happened in Nanyuan today. ”

Yeluren nodded first: "That's so." ”

Fu Bi glanced at Ye Lu Ren first, turned his head to Di Yong and said, "Di Dianzhi, you go on." ”

Di Yong said: "Xiao Su Tanhua was originally in the crowd, because the Khitan envoy said this, so he explained to the surrounding viewers that the Tao is that even though the crossbow is not as powerful as the bow, the training of an archer takes ten years, and the training of a crossbowman only takes four months. Therefore, these factors should not only be considered in terms of the power of the device, but also in terms of these factors. As for the power, it can be compensated for by other methods. ”

Zhao Shu, Han Qi, Fubi, and even Sima Guang, Su Song and others were all in front of them.

Han Qi smiled: "What about after that?" ”

Di Yong said: "After Xiao Su Tanhua explained like this, the onlookers were naturally relieved, and at this time, Xia made him take the bow without authorization, fired three arrows in a row, and then ...... Say that I am a Song Dynasty person who is used to talking about fire. The look is arrogant. ”

All of the people present were extremely deep in the city government, and they didn't speak, but Han Qi asked coldly: "Xia Envoy, what you said, is there anything wrong?" ”

Wu Zong covered his palms, his face red: "I am not arrogant!" ”

Han Qi sneered: "Then I say that my Great Song people are used to talking about fire, is there any?" ”

Wu Zong twisted his head to the side and stopped talking.

Zhao Shu looked at the party with outstanding appearance, and then at Wu Zong, who already showed a look of disgust: "Di Dianzhi, continue." ”

Di Yong said: "At this time, the Marquis of Dali opened his mouth, saying that the crossbow is actually no worse than the bow, and then ...... Then with Xiao Su Tanhua, General Ah Ho, three people and three crossbows, one breath and one shot, between breaths-"

Then he showed an unbelievable look, looked up and said: "Forty-five arrows in a row, each arrow is a red heart!" General Hoard, what a miracle shot! ”

"How can it be!" Han Qi was suddenly furious: "The royal front is right, dare to talk nonsense like this!" If you really think you're a hero, can't you kill it?! ”

Di Yong smiled bitterly and arched his hand: "Xianggong, what I said just now is true, at that time, everyone was watching, how dare the minister make it up?"

Fu Bi saw the next crowd, and even Wu Zong Ye Luren didn't refute it first, and he was shocked: "Really? ”

Di Yong said: "The methods used by General Ah Ho and Gao Hou Ye Su Tanhua are extremely ingenious, the two of them are only in charge of the strings, and General Ah Ho is only in charge of triggering, and the cooperation is skillful, that kind of ...... As soon as that rhythm comes out...... Anyway, the minister is breathtaking. ”

Before Han Qi could ask in detail, Fu Bi quickly pulled his sleeve and asked instead, "Then what about the follow-up?" ”

Di Yong was also very excited: "The follow-up is naturally the onlookers cheering the people, and Xiao Su Tanhua explained to everyone, saying that my Great Song Dynasty ordnance is actually not weak, only need enough training, plus the appropriate way to use it, the crossbow is not as strong as the bow!" ”

Fu Bi hurriedly waved his hand to stop Di Yong: "Say follow-up!" ”

"Oh." Di Yong couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and a little angry: "After losing this battle, the envoy of Western Xia will speak disrespectfully, and his original words are - when the young emperor of my family raises troops and horses, and Xingshi asks for guilt, Huangkou Xiaoer will know what is wrong!" ”

"Presumptuous!" Han Qifu shouted angrily in unison.

Han Qi was furious: "If you dare to make such heartless words, will there be no minister who can be an envoy in Western Xia?!" Your Majesty, please let go, in the northwest, but to see what that forgiveness dares to do! ”

Zhao Shu raised his hand to stop: "Xia Envoy, what Di Dian said bluntly, is there a trace of error?" ”

Wu Zong's face was pale and he hung his head: "I...... I was angry at that. ”

But in a blink of an eye, there was a look of resentment: "Since entering the Song Realm, the Great Song Dynasty has ever had a trace of respect for my Western Xia?" First they prevented me from entering the prayers, and I was rudely detained in the outer stable, and then there were no cups and plates, and we starved all day. Nowadays, there are many people who rely on them, and there are few people who bully them! And stabbed me in the right hand! ”
