No shortage of walls

On April 27th, Liu Chengwen arrived at Hezhou Pass, the border pass between the Southern Xia Kingdom and the Song Kingdom.

Nan Xia was very happy about Liu Chengwen's arrival. Ever since the three traitors in the north, who killed the king and father, and put the shit plate on his head. Although the Seventh Prince proclaimed himself Emperor of Southern Xia, such a crime was too great. The pressure was so intense that his waist ached. The battles for reunification and justice between the two sides had been carried out dozens of times. There was originally hope for reunification, but who knew that a general was killed by the spies of the Three Rebels? His confidant Xia Tian was forced to do so again. He committed suicide to prove his innocence. For a time, the triple pressure of military, political, and rumors came over; but the rebel counterattacked in one fell swoop, and now it is the trend of two Xia to separate into five and five.

But Emperor Nanxia knew that the weather in the south of Xia was better than in the north! As long as he accumulates national strength, he will soon be able to unify the Xia Kingdom. Only by chopping the regicide and patricide into meat paste can he relieve the hatred in his heart.

It was obvious that the trend of the court had changed, and the new rich were overpowering the old ones; and he knew that he had made great contributions to the prosperity of Xia Kingdom in the past few years. Court taxes and taxes, people's lives suddenly became better and better day by day, which was completely caused by his business dealings with the Eastern Song Dynasty. My father had an idea in his heart. He knew that I was much better than you in terms of ability, so he intended to make himself a leader. Crown Prince, just because you are in the middle palace, you have taken advantage of the convenient location to kill your father, the king and your father, but you have committed such a huge crime and a huge shit plate on my head.

Don't talk about drinking with Xia Tian that night. No one needs to prove it. Once it got dark that night, I didn’t know what Xia Tian was doing. In one night, Xia Tian is like a bird. He can fly to the middle palace, and there is no king and father who can see him whenever he wants in the middle of the night.

In Jun's eyes, no matter how much he likes her, Xia Tian is only a sixth-grade public official, not even a minor official.

In the court, people from the third rank are called minor officials, and from the sixth rank, they are just public officials with a court salary. If it weren't for Jun's father's love, he wouldn't even be able to get in.

Emperor Nanxia wanted to use the Song Dynasty's business to accumulate national power, so he was of course very happy with Liu Chengwen's arrival.

However, Liu Chengwen only signed his credentials this time to buy 10,000 sheep, 10,000 dans of grains, cotton, etc., totaling 3,000 dans.

As for selling, the workshop is now normal, but the certificate of credence is still signed.

The reason for buying and selling is very simple.

Now Donghu has bullied His Majesty the Emperor too much, and the people of the Song Dynasty are now in a state of uproar. It is up to my emperor to decide whether to fight Donghu or not. But no matter what, the Song Dynasty had to prepare money to cope with the war, so it did not dare to sign more letters of credence.

The Emperor of Southern Xia had no objection. Xia and Song had been doing business for so many years, and not many of the Song Dynasty's credentials were signed that time. How about signing the credentials next time? The only thing that determines the so-called credentials is the price.

No matter what others say about the Song Emperor's son's lack of credit, he has done business with the Song Dynasty. The credit of the Eastern Song Dynasty is unimaginably good, including all transactions of goods and money delivery. To this day, no one in the Song Dynasty can find fault with him. thing.

There's no point in finding fault with it.

Although the sheep have to wait for the snow to come, other signings can be delivered.

The current guard general of Hezhou is Guan Yunshan. He has long received the secret order from the Holy Emperor. As the second-grade general at the border, Song Xing will certainly not hide this political and strategic restriction from him. The border guards watched over the country's gates and guarded the security of the Song Dynasty; they were the main executors of strategic wars and political issues. If even the border general is kept secret, who will take care of the matter?

Therefore, Guan Yunshan had known about it for a long time. He had already analyzed it privately and secretly. In the past, attacking Liao and conquering Chen was a clever plan of the orthodox emperor. He used trade to control his neighbors. He had not figured it out before, but now he has figured it out. His majesty, the orthodox emperor, was sincerely impressed by his wisdom and martial prowess. He attacked the Liao Dynasty in the past. If the Eastern Hu and Western Xia took action, the situation of the Song Dynasty would be very dangerous. However, due to the proper restraint of business, the Ministry of Rites only went to make amends and everything was fine.

It's now too late to do anything the neighbors want to do. The situation of the Song Dynasty is a thousand times better than when it attacked Liao and followed Chen. As a general of the Song Dynasty, he was naturally full of anger towards Donghu's actions, but I believe in my heart that the orthodox emperor still has a method of restraint. The political and strategic world situation is too big for me to understand and participate in, so I should do my own thing according to the imperial decree of the king and father.

Therefore, as soon as the delivery of Nanxia began, Guan Yunshan personally checked it; he carefully looked at all the cereals, cotton and medicinal materials.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites of Southern Xia were surprised. Xia Feiying, the second-grade military commander who used to have the same name as the third prince, was very embarrassed, but he didn't have as much trouble as the military commander, so he asked the question.

Guan Yunshan replied:"Your Excellency, you should know that the last general was originally from the northern border; now he is a minister of His Majesty, the orthodox emperor of the Song Dynasty, with a second-rank official position; but he has no military exploits and is still young. If you don't do it carefully, , if something goes wrong, even if there are no veterans or generals to detonate the nuclear weapons, how can you show the respect of the general?"

Nan Xia Li Guan was speechless.

What Guan Yunshan said was very honest and completely true.

Sincerity is a must-win.

Although Guan Yunshan is said to be a second-rank military general, Bi Jing is only in his early thirties. He is now the youngest public official among the first- and second-rank officials in the Song Dynasty. If he cannot become the Minister of War, he will be at the end of the military general rank. Liu Xiong, who died in battle, was awarded the title of first-grade army commander.

A second-grade military general in Guan Yunshan, not to mention being a second-grade officer under Emperor Jing Wang in the southern border has no military exploits; even in the northern border, he has no military exploits. The reason why he can become a second-grade military general is that he is still the commander-in-chief of the three armies of the northern border. The apprentice of Chang Wei, the best martial artist in the world.

In the old days, Chang Shiwei was the most skilled martial artist in the world. He was favored by the Emperor of the Northern Territory and was worshiped as a first-rank official, one level higher than the Minister of War. He belonged to the Ministry of War, and the Minister of War had to command him. If I give you face, I'll listen to you; if I don't give you face, who do you think you are? I am under the personal command of His Majesty the Emperor, what do you think? You are of a lower level than me, and I am just about the same as commanding you.

Chang Wei belongs to the Ministry of War. Not only the Ministry of War cannot be transferred, but even the first-rank officials of the Northern Territory cannot be transferred. Only the former Northern Emperor can mobilize.

Now that the royal family in the north is gone, Guan Yunshan belongs to the emperor in the south. It is said that it is unified, but it is true that he has no military exploits. In the past, his benefactor also fought with His Highness Prince Jing, the God of War in the south, and the emperor did not give him any trouble. , already has the heart of an emperor, now Guan Yunshan is afraid of other people's gossip, and it is common sense to do things seriously.

He is too young and has too good taste. It's too cold at a high place, and he doesn't have half of his military exploits. Maybe the ministers of the Song Dynasty are dissatisfied with him, and they are preparing to dig out his bad feet everywhere. He himself knew that he just had to be careful in everything. Anyway, he is not a member of the royal family with the surname Song, and he cannot be the minister of the Ministry of War. He has reached the end of the Song Dynasty's career and it is impossible to be promoted again. Then don't seek no merit, but seek no faults. Just die and guarantee the second grade.
