Volume 1: The Dusty North (11)

Brothers, vote more. This Sunday after 12 o'clock on the list, when the time comes, don't forget to vote for me. At the same time, there will be updates.

But this is the first time I've heard such a statement. They originally thought that this Han official was a Song person, and it was a great disrespect to the emperor, but Shen Tuo knew that the other party was a Han minister of the Liao State, but he still scolded him.

Seeing several teenagers looking at him with puzzled eyes, Shen Tuo shook his head lightly. The word "loyalty" in Confucianism is only loyal to the emperor and the dynasty in which he is involved, but no one expounds this word of loyalty from the national righteousness and the country as a whole. As a result, for thousands of years in China's history, there have been so many traitors that they are like carp crossing the river.

The Han Chen of the Liao State was detained when he sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty, and he learned from Su Wu to herd sheep for decades. Such a traitor who disregarded the general righteousness of the nation was called a loyal minister by the people of the time, and what seemed absurd and ridiculous to later generations was the mainstream value of society at that time.

He thought about it again and again, and finally said to these teenagers: "The people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light." Do you all know this sentence? ”

Mencius said this, after the Spring and Autumn Period, few Confucians dared to mention it, the more important the monarch's power became, and even the monarch was the country. In this way, these teenagers are taught how to understand.

Seeing that they shook their heads together, Shen Tuo said again: "I am a common person of the Great Song Dynasty, of the same ancestry, and of the same origin, with Yanhuang blood. But the same is true of the Han people in the Great Liao. Everyone is one ancestor and one nation. Whether it is the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Liao, or the Great Jin, only the affairs of our big clan are more important than the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao, and as for the emperor, it is needless to mention. Remember, no matter what, we Han people have to work hard, but don't really let the barbarians step on the soles of their feet! ”

These words actually distorted Mencius's subtle words, but they were enough to coax these hot-blooded young men.

Chongji and the others clenched their hands and said to Shen Tuo: "What Your Majesty said is that we Han people are not bad seeds!" ”

"Good. It's good that you get it. Shen Tuo waved his hand again and again, letting them whisper.

In fact, these words are extremely risky, if he didn't know that the young man was innocent, and he couldn't be a traitor and a traitor, Shen Tuo really didn't dare to say it.

Shen Tuo talked to these young guards, and saw that people kept coming and going at the gate of this palace. Seeing Shen Tuo's little hat in green clothes standing outside the palace, he couldn't help but look at him twice.

In addition to the Jin nobles, there are not a few other officials who are dressed in the official uniforms of the Song and Liao countries.

When the Great Song Dynasty official saw the old master, he also blushed. But the etiquette cannot be abolished, although these Confucian ministers feel guilty, they have to come up one by one to salute and say hello to Shen Tuo.

Shen Tuo couldn't help but turn sideways, and refused to accept everyone's big gifts.

Most of the officials who bowed to the officials were the central court officials of the year, or the fictitious titles, or the actual officials who were sent, all of them were high-ranking and powerful officials. As soon as he was captured and brought to the north, he was sent to the Five Kingdoms City to be imprisoned with the Zhao father and son. Only these people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and who are willing to do things for the Jin people, can stay everywhere in the Jin country and be slaughtered for officials.

Shen Tuo despised these people in his heart, and looked down on them in his heart. Even so, he also knows that he would rather offend a gentleman than a villain. These people do not keep the courtiers' festivals, they are timid and afraid of death, and they do not have enough success, and if they accidentally offend, they will cause bad things, but they are more terrible than an army of 100,000.

Because of this, when these people signed up to see, Shen Tuo also had a smile on his face, although he turned sideways, he asked Chongji and others to help these ministers up one by one.

In the midst of the chaos, I heard a young official sign up: "Minister Qin Yu, knock to see Your Majesty." ”

He didn't care, and stepped forward to help the official up.

Shen Tuo was shocked, only to feel that his back was itchy and numb, as if a poisonous snake had crawled on his back, which was really uncomfortable.

The most famous and most reviled traitor in Chinese history stood in broad daylight, looking at himself with a smile.

He looked at it attentively, and saw that this Qin Yu was quite tall, about one hundred or seventeen or eight, with a thin body and a fair face, if it weren't for a few strands of beard, it would be a little white face.

But his eyes wandered, and when he saw that he was looking at him, his eyes immediately moved away, and he did not dare to look at him.

In fact, if it had been a year ago, this man would have been faithful. Qin Yu was in politics and five years to get a jinshi, and then successively served as Taixue Xuezheng, a staff member wailang, Yushi Zhongcheng and other officials, which can be regarded as a smooth career. After the city of Tokyo was broken and the second emperor was captured, the Jin people once supported Zhang Bangchang as the emperor, and Qin Yu spoke out and resolutely opposed it. Because of his unruliness, the Jin people took him to Shangjing in the north and taught him to endure some hardships.

When this person was not an official, he was a private school teacher, and he felt miserable, and wrote a poem: "If you get 300 acres of paddy fields, you will not be the king of the monkey this time." ”

Even being a teacher felt bitter, running thousands of miles, Jin Bing's drinking, beating and scolding, and the harsh conditions in the north, teaching this official, who originally had some righteousness in his heart, immediately turned his attitude one hundred and eighty degrees. Soon after arriving in Beijing, he took refuge in Wan Yanchang, the marshal of the Jin State, and was willing to be an eagle dog, and since then, this person has been dedicated to serving the Jin State, and finally got what he wanted, becoming the most famous traitor in history.

He also felt ashamed at this time, seeing that Shen Tuo had been staring at him, but he was also red-headed and up-faced, although the weather was cold, he was still like a thorn in his back.

Shen Tuo saw his expression and knew that he was too preoccupied. couldn't help but cover it up, and smiled at Qin Yu: "I haven't seen you for a long time, but I feel that I have lost a lot." ”

When Qin Yu was in Tokyo, although he visited Shen Tuo several times with the court, he rarely summoned the emperor alone. Not to mention any friendship, when Shen Tuo said this, he was even more ashamed in his heart, thinking that Shen Tuo intended to ridicule, so he had to make a sound and retreat to the side with his fists.

He looked like this, but Shen Tuo didn't say much to him anymore. This person is extremely vicious, and Shen Tuo naturally doesn't want to provoke him at this time. Turn around and ignore it.

Even so, the corner of his eye still glances at it from time to time, after all, it is an anomaly to be able to see this famous traitor with his own eyes.

Although he has long since gotten rid of the dream-like feeling, once he meets these well-known figures in history, he still feels like a dream and can't believe it.

When the official who went in to report to the gold lord came out, he didn't care about the many Song officials behind Shen Tuo, and only said to Shen Tuo: "Your Majesty Xuanzhong is waiting to see you." ”

Shen Tuo hurriedly replied: "Yes, His Majesty's decree." ”

With that, he followed the official in.

He replied like this, but it was extremely embarrassing to teach those Song officials. Although everyone can surrender, they still regard Shen Tuo as the king, and the emperor was insulted like this, but it made these officials mourn, and they were even more sad and sad than when the Northern Song Dynasty lost the country.

They shook their heads, trying to squeeze out a few tears in the corners of their eyes one by one, for fear of future generations.

These people also know that the history is like a hook, and the current situation is estimated to be recorded in the future. But I just thought in my heart: "Anyway, I don't forget my old king, and I haven't lost my morality too much." It's just that it should be nothing to assist the new dynasty in response to the time? ”

Shen Tuo didn't know the dirty appearance of these people, and he was actually very nervous in his heart. As a senior official who has studied social public relations and officialdom communication, he knows in his heart that no matter how many tricks you make and how much effort you make, sometimes doing ten things is not as important as the first image in front of the leader.

Why does Jiaduo do things but don't please them? Why does B's leader love to listen? Of course, there are many reasons for this, but if the leader sees you as pleasing to the eye, you will be fine with everything.

And his current "leadership" is right in front of him.

Jin Taizong finished Yan Wu begging, when Taizu was in power, according to the Jurchen brothers' last brother and the habit of the last brother, he was set up as a proficient Ban Bo extremely fierce, in the destruction of Liao, the destruction of the Song Dynasty and many other wars, also made great achievements, after the death of Taizu, his prestige status naturally no one can challenge, and successfully ascended the throne as the emperor. Although the Jurchens still have the legacy of the clan meeting of the primitive tribes, the authority of this person is enough to be as strong as the emperor of the Central Plains.

Shen Tuo steadied his mind while walking. This golden palace is very simple, not far from the palace gate, sparing a few halls, is the place where Wu begs to buy his daily office.

When he arrived outside the gate of the side hall, a few golden guards stepped forward and groped Shen Tuo's body, and then waved him in.

As soon as Shen Tuofu entered the hall, he felt that his eyes were dark and he couldn't see. was ignorant, but was reprimanded with Jurchen words, he suddenly woke up, immediately opened his hand and lifted the hem of his robe, knelt down.

He praised in his mouth: "The minister is waiting for Zhao Heng in a faint manner, and he will see His Majesty the Dajin Emperor." ”

As he spoke, he prostrated his head.

But I heard a few Jurchen words not far away, and then I heard someone say in Chinese: "Your Majesty said, no courtesy, give me a seat." ”

This is also a special ceremony, but Shen Tuo did not show his face, only sat sideways on the stool he brought, his hands hanging on his knees, and was silent.

This time also taught him to get used to the light in the temple.

This small side hall is not big, that is, the size of the main hall of the rich and noble people of the south. In the north of the hall, sitting facing the south, it is naturally the gold lord Wu begging to buy.

On both sides of Wu Qimai, there were dozens of Jurchen nobles, just sitting on the terrazzo bricks in the hall.

And the position where Shen Tuo was on the side of the palace gate, he only glanced at it a few times, and knew that the people in the hall were also looking at him.

He didn't speak, but only smiled between his mouths, and his eyes didn't deliberately avoid the eyes of others. If someone looked directly at them with their eyes, their eyes met, and Shen Tuo nodded lightly and responded.

After a while, everyone looked at it, but they were all thinking: "This Song emperor is also down-to-earth and generous, much better than those courtiers." ”

The ministers of the Song Dynasty, either die and do not surrender, scold and ridicule, or tremble and grovel, Shen Tuo's appearance, neither humble nor arrogant, every gesture, showing the demeanor of the emperor, is indeed much more clever than those courtiers.
