After the rain, the air smelled of earth. This smell is called earthy by some people, and earthy by others.

When Wang Yan opened his eyes, he felt that the light was too bright and he was a little dizzy.

So he reached out and blocked his eyes.

"How does it feel?"

"It's fine."

Shen An came in, he was wearing an official uniform, and he looked more stable.

He reached out and touched Wang Yan's forehead and said, "The fever has subsided, Ermei has boiled porridge for you, remember to drink more water." ”

Wang Yan naturally asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Shen An turned around and pushed open the window and said, "The envoy from Western Xia is here, Chen Ang is not here, I'll go and take a look." ”

……

Duting Xiyi, at this moment, there is an extra team of sergeants outside.

The envoy of Western Xia stood outside the gate with people, breathing in the air after the rain, and praised: "The smell of Bianliang is good. ”

The taste of Bianliang is good, all kinds of food, all kinds of fireworks.

"The edict is coming."

Shen An was surrounded by the officials of the Rite Academy, and the Western Xia envoy greeted him and said, "I have seen the edict." ”

Shen An stopped and asked, "What did Li Liangzuo send you to do?" ”

The envoy smiled and said, "Your Majesty asked So-and-so to bring some good horses." ”

This is a tribute coming.

The situation between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia was like this, the northwest direction was at war, and the two sides beat the human brains into dog brains, but while fighting, the Western Xia people would send envoys to give gifts, and the Great Song would return the gifts.

In other words, the two families are fighting while singing about friendship and peace.

Most of these skills will not be able to be done in later generations.

Shen An had already seen those dozens of horses before he came, and they were good horses. However, for the Great Song Dynasty, this war horse did not play a role at all.

"Too little."

Shen An stood outside the gate like a hooligan, holding his head slightly high, only holding a leather whip in his hand.

"Your hearts are not sincere, dozens of horses, what kind of gift is this?"

The messenger smiled dryly, "That's how it used to be. ”

Isn't it the same thing to give gifts to the Great Song Dynasty, just to make a good appearance, satisfy the vanity of the Song people and all the countries to come to the court, and then return home with a rich return gift.

Every time an envoy goes to fight the autumn wind, the Western Xia is poor, and the poor have no surplus food, so the frequency of the envoys is a little high.

But what kind of gift are dozens of horses?

Shen An felt that he couldn't get used to the Xixia people's problem of fighting the autumn wind.

"But now the rules have changed."

Shen An said coldly: "Da Song doesn't need your war horse, bring it back." ”

The envoy felt that Shen An was joking, "Wait for the edict, the Great Song Dynasty needs war horses, otherwise the iron cavalry of the Liao people can break through the Baigou River." ”

Baigou River is in Xiongzhou, and the envoy specially brought it up, indicating that he had done his homework before coming and knew Shen An's origin.

Shen Bian's son; A fanatical supporter of the Northern Expedition.

"We need war horses, but we don't need war horses sent to the door."

Shen An snapped his fingers, and Huahua ran over from behind, squatting at his feet.

Yesterday, Huahua was also drenched in the rain, and Shen An was worried that it would catch a cold, so he took it out to slip away.

The combination of one man and one dog is very harmonious, and there is nothing abrupt.

Shen An forced his eyes at the envoy, "Don't try to fool people, if the Great Song Dynasty needs a war horse, he will go and get it in person, just like when he was in Fuzhou, just like when he was in Yuanzhou, kill his opponents and seize their war horses, this is what the Great Song Dynasty should do." ”

The envoy only felt a cool air rushing to his face, and he smiled and said, "Please see His Majesty Emperor Song." ”

"Your Majesty will not see you."

Shen An said very firmly: "If you come here, it means that you won't get cheap this time, so if you have something to say, you can go back if you don't have anything." ”

But the envoy did not believe it, and he said: "Your Majesty said before leaving that my country and the Great Song Dynasty are like brothers, and now they are ......."

"No brothers!"

As soon as Shen An opened his mouth, he said something that cut off people's back roads: "Great Song and Western Xia, one is a parent, the other is a rebellious child, and they have nothing to do with their brothers. ”

If it is said that the apparent peace of the Great Song and Western Xia is the emperor's new clothes, then Shen An's words directly expose the fact that both sides are in Guoben.

The officials in the ceremonial room bowed their heads and laughed, and they knew that this edict never acted according to common sense.

The Tanguts were going to cry.

The green tendons on the messenger's neck jumped, and an attendant behind him shouted, "Let so-and-so kill him!" ”

It's like a confrontation between the skins, and suddenly someone is clamoring to kill you.

Most of this kind of clamor was a cannon, but Shen An smiled and walked straight over.

The attendant sneered when he saw him coming. This is outside the post house, and the action is to break the unspoken rules, Zhao Shu can't protect Shen An, otherwise the Liao people will be able to beat the envoy of the Song people next time.

Shen An walked over and said with a smile: "This is what you are talking about?" ”

The interpreter spoke, and the attendant nodded, then waited.

Shen An smiled, suddenly reached out to pat his face, and said, "You are very courageous, and you like this kind of warrior the most." ”

Slapping a person's cheek carries a strong taste of humiliation in any era.

The entourage's face turned red, his fists were clenched, and if the anger in his eyes could kill, Shen An would have died countless times at this moment.

"Please come in and meet with you."

The envoy was worried that the entourage would make a move, so he hurriedly smiled and invited Shen An in.

After entering the post house, the two sides sat down opposite each other.

The atmosphere was not very good, and Shen An, as the host, was very immoral and did not speak.

If the host doesn't speak, what do the guests say?

The envoy held back for a long time before he said: "The Liao people have been in civil strife ......"

This topic is good, Shen An asked, "How?" Li Liangzuo is interested in joining forces with Da Song to beat Yelu Hongji? ”

The envoy looked left and right, and Shen An said: "There is no need to look, a certain ambition is the Northern Expedition, which the Liao people know." ”

The messenger nodded and said, "Someone! ”

In the faint sound of footsteps, two women came in from outside.

The envoy said, "These two people have been carefully selected from the kingdom and are ready to be presented to His Majesty the Emperor of Song. Come, raise your head. ”

The two women raised their heads, although they didn't say that they were shy about the moon, but they were also pretty and lovely, the key was that they had a different temperament from the women of the Great Song Dynasty, which made people a little hot.

But the woman who wanted to dedicate herself to Zhao Shu actually appeared at this moment, and this sincerity was not enough.

Shen An pressed his hands on the edge of the desk, rolled his eyes, and praised: "You look good, but you don't have a good figure." ”

The two women had probably learned the language of the Great Song Dynasty, and when they heard this, they looked at Shen An and were a little unconvinced.

Shen An leaned back slightly, and commented in a veteran posture: "The chest on the left is too small, if Shen is not mistaken, it is still big and small, unbalanced!" ”

The woman's face turned red, and her heart was angry, but she could only hold on.

Shen An's gaze turned to the woman on the right, and suddenly whistled, and said like a hooligan: "This is good, the figure is good, but it has some looped legs, tsk!" Know a famous quote? ”

He touched the top of Huahua's head beside him, and said in the tone of an old driver: "A woman lives on a pair of legs, and she has a pair of long legs, long legs...... You guys should understand, right? That is born with half a beauty. ”

He said regretfully: "No, the official family won't accept it, take it back." ”

The envoy was already stunned by his words, and thought to himself that this person was actually a middle master?

"Didn't you say that you were going to be treated?"

It is rumored that Shen An guarded himself like a jade before marriage, and after marriage, he was even more single-minded, and he didn't even go to the Qinglou after his wife was pregnant, which can be called a wonder among men.

"Let's go back!"

Shen An came to smash the field today, so after striking at the Xixia people, he got up and said: "Li Liangzuo fled in a hurry in the first battle of Yuanzhou, and now he wants to curry favor with the Great Song Dynasty, but it is too late." Let's all go back, go back and tell Li Liangzuo to make less trouble. ”

These words had a ridiculous flavor, and the entourage who had been slapped on the face by Shen An stood up again and shouted: "Do the Song people dare to humiliate Your Majesty?" ”

Shen An walked over slowly, and Huahua followed to the right.

This is the ashram, and the outside is full of people from both countries.

The entourage sneered and was on guard, as long as Shen An dared to make a move, he would dare to fight back.

Shen An walked in front of him, and the entourage was on guard, when he suddenly felt a pain in his thigh, and then he was kicked out by Shen An.

Huahua still had a rag in her mouth, lowered her head and pulled it down with her paws, and then followed Shen An out of the room.

The envoy got up and saw that the thigh of the entourage was bloodied by Huahua, and he kicked Shen An in his lower abdomen, which was almost uncomfortable in his intestines, and he was holding his stomach and screaming.

He chased him out and said: "Wait for the edict, the field must be opened, otherwise Your Majesty will not hesitate to throw himself at the Liao, and attack you from the north and from the northwest, can you stop it?" ”

"Why don't you try it?"

Shen An dropped this sentence and left the post house, and then entered the palace.

Zhao Shu heard him talk about the negotiation process with the envoy of Western Xia, and frowned: "Li Liangzuo is panicked?" ”

Han Qi said: "Li Liangzuo is fearless, and he feels that there are Liao people on his side, and the Great Song Dynasty does not dare to attack them with all his might. ”

"But the Western Xia was very poor, and the Great Song Dynasty was cut off, and it was reported that they couldn't even prepare the clothes of the army."

A smile that did not match his identity appeared on Zeng Gongliang's face, and Shen An rubbed his eyes to make sure that he was not mistaken, it was obscene.

"Li Liangzuo is in a hurry." Zeng Gongliang analyzed very proudly: "The defeat outside Yuanzhou City made the Xixia people anxious, and Li Liangzuo was originally unable to sit in a stable position, and these opponents were going to be proud again." Li Liangzuo is in a difficult situation both internally and externally, and sending an envoy to show goodwill at this moment is proof of this. Your Majesty, send an envoy to apply for mercy, Li Liangzuo will knock out his teeth and swallow blood this time, the minister is willing to go, if he can't say that Li Liangzuo vomits blood, the minister will not come back. ”

The old guy is a hooligan, but he judges accurately.

At this moment, there must be an undercurrent surging in the Western Xia country, and Li Liangzuo has to be anxious to appease those dissatisfied nobles, and he has to suppress those opponents.

"It's not easy for a teenager to be able to control such a Western Xia."

Shen An's words were recognized by Zhao Shu, "Don't despise the opponent, Shen An gave the Xixia people a note of Ma Wei this time, and I don't care about the rest of the matter......"

Han Qi said: "You shouldn't be in charge of such a trivial matter, it's enough for Shen An to come forward." ”

Zhao Shu smiled: "In this way, I won't see him." ”

Shen Anxin comprehended: "The ministers will arrange the follow-up." ”

The monarch and the ministers looked at each other, and then they all laughed.

There was more treachery in the laughter, which made Chen Zhongheng can't help but shrink his neck, feeling that since there was more Shen An, the taste of this court has become more and more wrong.

……

The third is sent, good night.
