Chapter 343 They Are Coming

The nights in early autumn are slightly cool.

Zhao Zhen just lay down for two hours and then fell asleep again.

He quietly got up and dressed himself.

When he opened the door, the chamberlain who was napping outside was startled and cursed: "What's the noise about? The officials are resting! Get out!"

When he opened his eyes and saw that it was Zhao Zhen walking out on his own, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and whispered: "The official... I am guilty."

There were two lanterns hanging on the side, and the light from the lanterns shone softly on the ground.

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Be kind and don't curse."

The servant fell to the ground to plead guilty.

Zhao Zhen sighed: "The ground is cold, get up."

Gradually there were more people around, and various toiletries were delivered.

After a lot of work, Zhao Zhen started to have breakfast.

Ordinary people must eat a large breakfast and be full, otherwise they will not be able to make it through the afternoon.

But the emperor is naturally different. He can eat three or four meals a day.

He ate breakfast slowly, and Chen Zhongheng said: "Guan family, it's still early, how about... taking a nap?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "I saw the Mangshan Army drill that day, and the momentum was amazing. Shen An said that the Song Dynasty army was short of breath, and he wanted to make up for that breath..."

Chen Zhongheng thinks this matter... why is it necessary to make up for it in half a month?

Seeing his disbelief, Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "You don't understand. That's..."

He raised his head slightly, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes: "A hundred people are like one, the momentum is really amazing. A hundred people are less, ten thousand people...can he do it? If it can be done, I hope to see the look on the Liao envoy's face."

Chen Zhongheng said: "I will keep an eye on him when the time comes."

"good!"

…

Today's morning session is gone.

After so many years since the founding of the Song Dynasty and so many years since Zhao Zhen ascended the throne, the number of early dynasties was canceled very rarely.

Fu Bi came early.

The people also got up early.

The yamen servants of Kaifeng Mansion were shouting: "Every household has gotten up, and the business has stopped for a while. Come out and stand!"

"It's so early in the morning...it's still dark! Are you crazy?"

"I can't afford it!"

"The officers are getting up soon. There are many sergeants outside."

Countless people got out of bed cursing, and then walked sleepily into the street.

Rows of sergeants began to enter the inner city.

It was getting dark, and the sergeants were also cursing.

"I didn't say what it was, but I was woken up in the middle of the night. What's the matter?"

"So many people! Is this... is this an official trip?"

"Officials never like to disturb the people when traveling, so how could they create such a big battle?"

"What's that for?"

"I don't know, stand still! Stand still!"

Groups of sergeants began to line up along the Zhuque Gate, blocking the people.

Fu Bi looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "It's too big. If...if it doesn't work, the people's morale will be irreparable."

"Then Shen An is the sinner!"

Han Qi felt that this was too cruel. If it was nondescript, the Liao envoy would be even more proud.

"The Liao people were very ambitious. If they felt that the people of the Song Dynasty were demoralized, they might actually go south."

Zeng Gongliang was very melancholy. The grudge he had with Shen An had long since dissipated, and he was only worried about what would happen later.

Everyone walked slowly along the Imperial Street until they arrived at the Xuande Gate.

Most of the officials had arrived, but Bao Zheng stood there alone, looking particularly lonely.

Fu Bi's heart moved, so he walked over and asked, "Is Shen An sure?"

The only person here who is close to Shen An is Bao Zheng, and Fu Bi hopes to get a reliable answer.

Bao Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Fu Bi frowned dissatisfied, but Bao Zheng felt that he was wronged.

"That boy refused to say anything."

Shen An really refused to say anything, not at all.

Fu Bi heard this but didn't believe it.

"...Someone outside the city heard a roar last night, like countless ghosts shouting..."

"...Hey! Where did the evil ghost come from?"

"There are really evil spirits. Last night, some people saw the cavalry going back and forth looking for them. I guess they are looking for those evil spirits."

"..."

"The Liao envoy is here."

The discussion gradually disappeared, and everyone looked forward together.

More than ten riders came slowly, and the leader was the Liao envoy.

"domineering!"

"Don't die a good death!"

"Who can make him bow his head? Someone is willing to pay for him to go to Fanlou to drink."

After a while of muttering, the Liao envoy approached, dismounted and cupped his hands and said, "Are you...going to bow to the Liao today?"

His proud look made people angry. Fu Bi was about to speak when he saw an official coming out from the side.

"Your envoy raised his head too high."

Tang Ren's face looked righteous and awe-inspiring at this moment, especially majestic.

The Liao envoy said disdainfully: "Everyone in Daliao is like this."

The Daliao people walked with their heads held high, why, they were stronger than you Song people.

The officials were furious after hearing this, but there was nothing they could do.

"return!"

Song Xiang was worried that Tang Ren would make a fool of himself, so he gave a low drink.

But Tang Ren didn't seem to hear it. He said: "When going uphill, you have to lower your head to look at the road. Only when going downhill, you have to look up..."

When everyone heard this, someone said: "Wonderful!"

"Don't you have to look up when going downhill? Well said!"

"I'm going uphill in the Song Dynasty, and people in the Liao Dynasty are going downhill, hahaha!"

When the Liao envoy heard this, he sniffed and said angrily: "What's the use of words? When the Liao goes south, you and everyone will change their colors."

When everyone heard this, they felt frustrated again. Tang Ren smiled and said: "Your Majesty, it's not just words. The Song Dynasty sees the road, so it won't make mistakes. Your Majesty... you didn't look at the road, but you stepped on dog shit..."

Everyone looked carefully, and the Liao envoy also lowered his head, and then saw that his left foot happened to step on a piece of dog shit.

Dog shit was very smelly, and Ambassador Liao finally understood what he had smelled just now.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

A group of officials from the Song Dynasty were laughing, and Fu Bi whispered: "Who is that?"

Song Xiang said: "Tang Ren, deputy minister of the Privy Council, is in charge of the four rooms of the Privy Council."

There were so many official positions in the Song Dynasty that even the prime ministers and assistant ministers couldn't understand many of them, so someone had to explain them.

Fu Bi nodded and said, "The response was quick."

This was a compliment, and the Privy Council was lucky.

Song Xiang said with a smile: "I have been paying attention to this person for a long time. I am just waiting for more time to hone my skills before changing his place."

If Tang Ren heard this, he would definitely spit him out.

To say that I have been paying attention to him for a long time, I am afraid I have been staring at him for a long time.

The Liao envoy had already gone to the side to take off his shoes and scrape dog poop, and a group of low-level officials were surrounding Tang Ren to flatter him.

"...Tang Chengzhi saw the opportunity and acted, but with just a few words, the Liao envoy was ashamed, astonishing and breathtaking!"

"Tang Chengzhi became famous in one battle today. His name will definitely spread to the ears of the officials later, and he will become famous in the future."

"..."

If Tang Ren appears in public today, he will definitely be in the eyes of officials and prime ministers, and his future will be limitless!

Everyone was flattering, but Tang Ren said seriously: "Someone taught me these words."

"Who? Isn't Tang Chengzhi being humble? We witnessed this together, and you said it yourself."

"It's just that Tang Chengzhi is too humble. This kind of ambition is far inferior to that of my generation!"

Everyone was flattering again, but Tang Ren said calmly: "A certain person was taught by Shen Taizhao."

Everyone was stunned, some still didn't believe it, but others were surprised and said: "Yes, Shen Taizhao once made the Liao envoy crazy in front of the emperor!"

That is a legend that all diplomats regard as a legend of heavenly beings.

Just a few words made the envoy of Liao go crazy, and even said some words that were said to be treasonous. What a talent such a person is!

Tang Ren said respectfully: "I know nothing about diplomacy, but I learned it through the imperial edict. I will not forget this kindness."

Everyone nodded, as it was only natural that a favor should be repaid, and then they were filled with envy.

"Tang Chengzhi was so lucky. I wish I could get the guidance from the imperial edict so that I could serve the Song Dynasty."

"Tang Chengzhi, can Shen Daizhao still accept people?"

Many people were tempted.

Tang Ren shook his head and said: "The imperial edict has not accepted anyone. Even I am just listening on the sidelines, so I can't be considered a disciple."

I go!

Is this what it’s like just listening to it?

What would it be like to become a disciple and listen to the teachings every day?

Everyone was in reverie for a while, and then their hearts were burning, wishing that Shen An would appear in front of them so that they could become their disciples...

"Your Majesty has arrived..."

A sharp voice came, and everyone turned around and stood in silence.

When Zhao Zhen arrived, he climbed up the stairs and slowly walked up to Xuande Tower.

"Let them come up. Come up the messenger as well."

A touch of fish belly white appeared in the east, and dawn was approaching.

Chen Zhongheng went down and shouted at the city gate: "Your Majesty ordered all the ministers to go upstairs, and the envoys from all countries to go upstairs!"

The ministers bowed, and the envoys, not knowing why, also followed suit.

What are the Song people going to do today?

When the envoys gathered together, the Liao envoy naturally became the center.

"The Song Dynasty people are playing tricks on people! They are pretending to be gods and ghosts!"

The Liao envoy said arrogantly: "Da Liao can go south at any time, and when the time comes, hundreds of thousands of troops... The sound of horse hooves can scare people to death. If one person shouts, the sound can shatter the building. If one person cuts with a knife, there will be no life left for the Song Dynasty people." people……"

"The Liao Dynasty is mighty!"

Everyone went up to the tower and looked down from a high position. They could see the Suzaku Gate at a glance.

The sky is getting brighter.

Li Zhang was already here. He walked to Zhao Zhen and whispered: "Your Majesty, everything is ready."

Zhao Zhen's eyes became brighter and he said, "Okay, I want to see the Great Song Dynasty Tiger Ben today!"

Li Zhang turned around and shouted: "Send the signal!"

Bang!

As soon as the cannon sounded, everyone fell silent.

Li Zhang stood by the city wall, looking into the distance.

He thought of the boundless array, and couldn't help but feel extremely excited.

There was a commotion in the distance.

The commotion gradually spread.

"Look!"

Someone exclaimed, and Zhao Zhen couldn't help but get up and walk over.

The ministers and envoys all came to the front one after another, holding the city bricks in their hands and looking carefully.

The sound came from the Suzaku Gate, and it gradually became louder.

Bang!

Puff puff……

"What's this?"

"Why does it sound like an earth dragon turning over?"

Someone panicked. UU read www.uukanshu.net

The earth dragon turns over and it is an earthquake.

The messengers were watching carefully, and someone suddenly shouted: "Look at that area, it's so dark!"

It was getting brighter, and the dark shadow gradually came into view.

"It's human!"

The silent array marched slowly and uniformly.

"It's the Song army!"

Amidst the exclamations, Zhao Zhen slowly raised his head.

"This is my army, this is the army of the Song Dynasty!"

"Start...go!"

boom!
