Tomorrow is New Year's Day, and there are far fewer pedestrians on the streets.

From tomorrow onwards, the people will enter a carnival holiday.

Every household is preparing all kinds of things for the New Year, such as ingredients, peach charms, Tusu wine, and sticking Zhong Kui statues...... Didn't have time to go shopping.

Tomorrow is the Great Pilgrimage. This festival was large in scale and attended by a large number of people. There are not only the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, but also envoys from various countries.

Zhao Zhen and Zai Fu discussed for a long time, one is the summary of the previous year, and the other is the style of tomorrow's big court, that is, looking forward to the future.

“…… The envoys from various countries on New Year's Day have come, and the Liao envoys are still the most domineering. ”

This news was collected from the ceremonial room, and when it came out from Song Zhen at this moment, it made the Zai Fu all look gloomy.

Fu Bi said with some annoyance: "If the Xixia people make trouble, the Great Song Dynasty will fan the flames on the side, and it will be best to reap the benefits of the fishermen, but I don't know what I'm thinking, so I don't know what I'm thinking." ”

Han Qi said angrily: "That's a minister, no, it's a minister, sooner or later he will rebel!" ”

The Liao people have recently begun to dominate again, putting a lot of pressure on the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty. But the Great Song Dynasty couldn't counteract, so he could only use the Tangut people to comfort him.

But Li Liangzuo can't make the decision yet, and the master who didn't hide the lie Pang had cramps, and he was destroyed and there was no movement in the mission.

After a moment of silence, Zhao Zhen waved his hand and signaled for the Zaifu to disperse.

The atmosphere of this big festival is gloomy, and everyone's hearts are uncomfortable!

Song Zhen returned to the Privy Council and casually asked about Shen An's situation.

Du Ziling saw that his face was gloomy, so he said: "He is here today, but he has nothing to do." ”

This is here to mess around, Song Zhen and Du Ziling know this, and they don't want to care.

But today's Song Zhen was a little angry, he frowned and said, "What are you doing?" It's going to be the New Year's Day meeting soon, and the Liao envoy drank too much in the embassy, scolding endlessly, and there was a lot of disrespect for the Great Song Dynasty and the official family in his words, do you know? ”

There is accusation in these words, you Du Ziling don't know, that is dereliction of duty.

Du Ziling smiled bitterly: "Xianggong, Xiaguan has been busy here these days, and there is no one to help him!" ”

I, the chief steward of the Privy Council, am so busy, why did the matter of diplomacy come to me?

Song Zhen said coldly: "Tomorrow is the Great Imperial Meeting, if it is the Liao envoy, your guilt is not small." ”

This is one of the Dafa for decompression, and if you foresee that something is going to happen, you will first throw the pot on someone else's head.

Du Ziling naturally didn't dare to resist, so he had to go back with the responsibility, and then called his henchman Wang Qian to ask Shen An.

I'll talk back later.

"It's all about the order, then Shen An said that there are comings and goings, let's pit the Liao people, and the Liao people complain a few words It's not a matter."

Du Ziling said with a straight face: "When did the Great Song Dynasty pit the Liao people?" ”

Wang Qian said with a tangled face: "Shen An said that you should know. ”

Du Ziling Huo Ran got up and went directly to find Song Zhen.

"Tricked the Liao?"

Song Zhen thought for a while and said, "It's okay for you to listen to this matter...... Last time, when Shen An was in Xiongzhou, he asked the people of the Imperial City Division to go to the Liao State to spread the word, saying that the Liao Emperor had appointed secret spies to eliminate dissidents and wanted to provoke a strife within the Liao State, but so far, there is still no news. ”

Du Ziling smiled slightly, and said in a low voice: "Xianggong, the lower official remembered Shen An's Jinshi background......"

He glanced at Song Zhen, and there was more anger in his eyes: "I'm afraid it's ...... It's a bit of a presumption. ”

Involving diplomacy is a serious matter, and taking credit is a trivial matter, but this has led to a deviation in the judgment of the outside world, and it is really not too much to cut a thousand cuts.

And Shen An's Jinshi background was rewarded by the official family, and if it was calculated according to the deduction of Jinshi's background with merit at that time, it was this instigation of the internal strife of the Liao State.

Song Zhen picked up the document and began to read it seriously.

In many cases, as a Shangguan, he does not need to take a stand.

As a subordinate, at this time, you have to understand the unfinished intention of the superior, and then deal with it properly.

Du Ziling returned to the duty room, and called the head of the fourth room of the Privy Council to reprimand him.

This is the first time he has crossed Shen An to reprimand the head of the fourth room, and what he said is hinting at something.

——Shen Angu has a reputation for fishing!

But soon there were rumors outside that Shen An lied about his credit.

As soon as Tang Ren came out, he went to Shen An and complained: "Du Chengzhi means something, waiting for the edict, this is jealous of your merits, right?" ”

This guy is not small, and he dares to mock Du Ziling.

Shen An said lightly: "I know what he is referring to, look at it." ”

Tang Ren saw that he was still an old god, so he hurriedly said: "Wait for the edict, and if it is passed on, this New Year's Day will not pass." When the time comes, the imperial history will be moved, and you will ...... This is the time of great disaster. ”

When the time comes, I really want to find out what happened to him, Shen An...... Don't say what kind of Jinshi background, there is nothing.

It's useless for the official family to appreciate you, and under the surging public opinion, he has no choice but to compromise.

Just like Fan Zhongyan back then.

Shen An got up and said, "Don't worry about this matter, the good news should be soon." ”

He was thinking about the time, and felt that the imperial uncle should also make some moves, otherwise it would not be stupid, but dementia.

I just need to wait, waiting for news from the Imperial City Division.

Tang Ren smiled bitterly, thinking to himself that we can't manage it if we want to!

In the afternoon, sure enough, there was a recital in the imperial history, and the content was Shen An's meritorious work.

They don't know what the credit is, but it is an instinctive talent of the imperial history.

Shen An took the merit, and his Jinshi background was obtained by the merit.

For a time, public opinion in the capital was in an uproar.

On the eve of this celebratory holiday, the news was nothing short of a huge firecracker, which woke up some people at once.

It's New Year's Day, and all walks of life are wrapping up, and most of them, except for businessmen, are wrapping up.

However, the post station is not idle, and must always ensure the feeding of war horses and the reserve of various materials.

A post station in Huazhou, because it is the end of the year, so everyone is a little lazy.

The soldiers who were served by the box soldiers lazily hid in their rooms and slept, and after the New Year's Day, they could replace the holidays.

There was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and the soldiers hurriedly got up.

It's cold, and it takes a lot of perseverance to crawl out of the covers.

"It's almost New Year's Day, and I haven't heard of any disasters, so I'm going to mourn!"

The so-called car and ship shop feet and teeth, innocent should be killed, what is said is the treacherous and inflammatory, and the tendency of some people to be inflammatory.

When they arrived in the front yard, they saw two men in plainclothes leading horses from the stable.

"What are you doing? Hold it! ”

The soldiers rushed out in a panic, ready to beat up the two thieves who dared to steal the horses.

Outside, there was the neighing of horses, and the two men turned around, and there was hardly a trace of white on their faces, and the red was frightening, and there were blood marks everywhere.

This is the messenger galloping all the way from the north!

One of them stared at the soldiers and said, "Dry food, water." ”

A shopper asked, "Where did you two come from?" ”

The other rubbed his face, but the scar was broken, and the blood flowed down without realizing it.

He said coldly: "The Imperial City Division is urgent, are you sure you want to know where the two people came from?" ”

The Imperial City Division urgently reported, that was definitely a big deal.

Where did the soldiers dare to ask, but after verifying their identities, they quickly filled them with water and dry food.

From here to Bianliang, if the fast horses are alternately replaced, they can arrive tomorrow morning.

The two men who had changed their horses galloped away, and a gust of wind behind them rolled up countless snowflakes.

……

The sky was still dark, but Shen An was woken up by Zhuang Honestly.

"Lang Jun, be quick, this is the New Year's Day court!"

Zhuang honestly said with envy: "If you go once, you can brag to your children and grandchildren." ”

But Shen An didn't want to go, just after Zhuang Laoshi went out, he fell headlong and fell asleep instantly.

This is the ability of young people, and the old people will probably be envious, jealous and hateful.

"Lang Jun!"

I don't know how long it took, Zhuang honestly panicked voice came, Shen An jumped up, and then quickly dressed.

After a casual wash, Shen An rode his horse towards the palace.

Outside the palace, the sky was slightly dark, and the ministers and envoys all gathered together.

The Great Dynasty will naturally be more solemn, and coming early is an attitude.

So when Shen An was the last to arrive, he was in the spotlight.

He dismounted in disagreement, and Bao Zheng came to meet him, shouting, "Why are you late? ”

This is to make him hurry up and find a decent excuse to avoid being impeached.

But Shen An has already been impeached!

Those officials were shaking their heads, thinking that most of them were impeached for Shen An's meritorious service.

Today is New Year's Day, but the enthusiasm of the imperial historians will not fade, and Shen An has become their prey.

Shen An looked at the closed palace gate, thinking that I was not late, and then said nonsense: "On the road, this horse saw the cart and refused to leave." ”

Shen An's horse likes to pull carts, and everyone knows about this after the last bet, which is a joke.

There was a snickering around them, and even the messengers were snickering.

Shen Anxin secretly hated, thinking about turning around and slaughtering the horse and turning it into braised meat.

Bao Zheng walked over and said in a low voice: "Yesterday it was rumored that you took the lead, the Yushitai was passionate, and the old man forced it down, but today is a good opportunity, the old man does not dare to guarantee that they will take care of the overall situation......

The envoys of the foreign vassal are here, don't say anything, and after the end of the court, there is no problem with resentment and revenge.

But listening to the meaning of Lao Bao, the mad dog of Yushitai is about to start biting. As for the overall situation, compared to reputation, the overall situation is a big deal!

Shen An wanted to cry without tears and said: "Bao Gong, this is really wronged!" How can I take any chances. ”

Bao Zheng said helplessly: "Why don't you ...... Why don't you sue for illness first, the old man is out of the way, and whoever dares to come out will kill him! ”

Bao Zheng's face was hideous, obviously not joking.

Shen An was really worried that the old man would be mad, so he hurriedly persuaded: "The so-called presumptuous merit is absolutely non-existent, and it is not a shame to say that it is just me." At most, there are more mad dogs in Yushitai, and the Liao people will follow suit when they know about it. ”

The Liao State adopted the official position of one country, two systems, and the southern officials managed the Han'er, imitating the official position of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Yushitai also had it, but the Han'er could not control the power of the military array.

But those Han officials were quite interesting, and they also had the faces of loyal ministers when they admonished the Liao Emperor.

If those Han officials also learned the mad dog style of the Great Song Dynasty, Yelu Hongji would probably steal a knife and kill people.

……

Fourth, good night, everyone.
