Chapter 163: Emperor Yang of Sui Second
"Shen waits for the edict, the palace summons you."
Not long after he handed it over, someone came.
Shen An got up, and then felt a little hungry.
He went out of the duty room and explained: "I have something to do after I come out of the palace, so I won't come back here." β
Zhang Liufu followed him, only feeling that his heart, liver and lungs were trembling together, so he nodded with a bitter face.
You're leaving early!
Early departure is subject to impeachment.
But he forgot that Shen An still had a position to be edicted.
After arriving outside the imperial city, Shen An first went to buy a few potstickers, and then went in while eating.
The chamberlain who brought him here said with a puzzled face: "Shen Zhizhao, this is the palace." β
He had never seen anyone eat on the way into the palace.
Shen An swallowed the potstickers and said confidently: "The family is poor, and I didn't eat breakfast." β
The waiter rolled his eyes, thinking that you are a rich man, and you can make a lot of money just by talking about the business of Xianglu, and you are pretending to be poor.
So he walked all the way and ate all the way, and when he arrived outside the hall, he just finished eating the potstickers, but his mouth was full of oil and looked a little disobedient.
Entering the hall, Fu Bi and Han Qi were there, and their faces were not very good-looking.
After saluting, Zhao Zhen said with a straight face: "It is customary for officials from all over the country to receive Goryeo envoys, you have just arrived in the Privy Council, you should ask more if you don't understand this, don't do whatever you want." β
This is a small rebuke, and later ask someone to send the news back to the harem, thinking that the queen who feels that she has been wronged will be happy.
Last night, the queen admitted her mistake, but she was in a very bad mood, and even the attendants were perfunctory, not dedicated at all......
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen felt that he was going back and forth between the harem and the courtiers, and he played the balance very well.
Shen An raised his head and said in amazement: "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, this practice has not been long!" β
Goryeo borders the Liao State from the land and is considered the younger brother of the Liao people. But this little brother often came across the sea, or crossed the Liao State by land, and came to the Great Song Dynasty to pay tribute.
This is a second marriage of one daughter, right?
"When the minister was in Xiongzhou, he often heard that officials in a certain place did nothing and traveled with their women......"
This is a bit of a slap in the face, but there are many important ministers of the Great Song Dynasty who have had this kind of experience, such as Ouyang Xiu, he just followed a good official back then, and then he was chic all day long, so unhappy.
But this is not doing business!
Fu Bi frowned and said, "Just talk about the Goryeo envoy." β
Can you have something to say?! One guy pulled out the fault of the failure of officials to do their duty.
Han Qi also felt that Shen An had too much to do, so he said: "This is a courtesy exchange, if it weren't for this, where would the Great Song Dynasty come from?" β
Shen An shook his head and said, "Although I have more officials, I have to work hard." Has the magistrate been idle to the point of idleness? When a messenger comes, he leaves what he is doing, and goes to eat and drink with him, and he has to ......."
You have to play along!
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "This is etiquette, the great etiquette...... Hello, you are born in the Privy Council. β
Do your thing and don't stretch your hands too long.
The official's words are a bit shocking!
Several Zai Fu all smiled slightly, thinking that Shen An should be warned like this.
Shen An said seriously: "Your Majesty, the minister has now taken over the post of deputy minister, and half of the diplomacy is in the hands of the minister, right?" β
The Privy Council was in charge of external affairs, of course, mainly for Liao and Western Xia.
Fu Bi said in his heart, you dare to refute the official family? It's bold enough.
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "Diplomacy is important, you can go back and think about it." β
"I've been thinking about it for a long time."
Shen An incarnated as Bao Zheng's second today, and began a poisonous attack: "Since the minister is in charge of this part, then the minister has to say that the minister has to talk about the preferential treatment of the Goryeo people......"
"The Goryeo envoy came all the way, but the Great Song Dynasty also had officials accompanying him, and there were arrangements for food and accommodation along the way, so why do you want the magistrate to receive him ceremoniously?"
Shen An said angrily: "This is a ushering send-off, but this should be a matter of Honglu Temple and the ceremonial room, what does it have to do with the magistrate?" They are taking the opportunity to eat, drink and be merry! β
If you talk about who is the best in the Great Song Dynasty, it can be called Goryeo.
But the Koreans are the grass on the wall!
Shen An felt that they should not be given more money, let alone every time their envoy appeared in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, the officials along the way had to greet each other.
"Moreover, the envoys of other countries were not allowed to trade privately, and the Goryeo people kept sending their goods to Bianliang, and the envoys turned into merchants and personally traded in battle...... Official, this difference is too obvious. β
Zhao Zhen was so angry that he pointed to the door and said, "Get out!" β
Shen An walked outside the main hall, suddenly remembered something, and turned around and said, "Your Majesty, Emperor Yang of Sui was so kind to outsiders back then......
Fu Bi felt that this matter was a farce, and the official's refusal was also logical.
But when he heard the name Emperor Yang of Sui, his cheeks couldn't help but tremble.
He glanced at it, and Zhao Zhen's anger had magically dissipated.
In order to praise the wealth of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty specially lured foreign envoys to come to the audience, and then entertained them with good wine and food all the way......
This does not bode well......
Fu Bi suddenly wanted to laugh.
Shen An, this kid is too narrow, right?
He first said a crooked reason, but in the end it was his killer feature.
Your Majesty, you are a benevolent monarch, so you can't follow what Emperor Yang of Sui did, otherwise it will be difficult to write in the history books.
Zhao Zhen, the emperor, is bent on going through the ages, if there is a flaw in the second emperor of Sui Yang, even if it is just a diplomatic problem, he can't tolerate it, right?
Get!
He scratched the itch of the official family at this time, and I am afraid that this matter will be troublesome.
"Your Majesty, this matter ......"
Fu Bi knew that he should come forward, otherwise Zhao Zhen would not be able to step down.
He seemed to know that the Great Song Dynasty was treating the Goryeo people very badly on the first day, and said very sadly: "The minister received a letter last year, saying that the Great Song Dynasty treated the Goryeo people too much, and ranked first among the countries in exchange, which ...... Isn't that right? β
It's not that no one has ever said this, it's just that the big guys think it's not a big deal, so they just throw it away.
Even if Shen An doesn't bring it up today, some people will say it in the future. For example, Su Zhe, he later specifically said that he treated the Koreans too much.
Zhao Zhen groaned, his face was not good-looking.
He raised his eyes and saw that Shen An hadn't left, he was standing outside the hall, looking at him with blank eyes.
This young man was a little reckless, and he was far from the dexterity of the important ministers.
But this is Naotoshi!
Don't hide it, just say it.
And when you look at his expectant eyes, it is clear that he feels that the Great Song Dynasty has suffered a loss, and he should not continue to let the Koreans take advantage.
Pure heart!
Zhao Zhen found a step for himself, and then said, "This matter ...... It's good to discuss, but it's not easy to talk on the Goryeo side. β
It's done!
But all emperors, except for those who are brainless or rotten, there are few who don't care about their reputation.
Leave a name in history!
What a temptation!
Shen An skillfully grasped the mentality of the official family, and the last blow was directly successful.
This young man...... Something interesting!
Fu Bi turned around and took a look.
Shen An bowed outside and said, "Your Majesty is like a stream, and you are ashamed of Emperor Qin and Han Wu......"
Emperor Qin and Han Wu probably had some brutal reputations, so Shen An's words couldn't be better.
Zhao Zhen said angrily: "You are good at doing things...... Offend less. β
You have offended the relatives of the queen's family for only one day, if it weren't for me to suppress it, you would be good-looking.
But this is only the next day, and you have offended the Koreans again, you ......
This advice was very kind, Shen An bowed silently, and then retired.
