This Song Dynasty is different

Chapter 57 I said, they will bow their heads

The Queen Mother and the official family were having dinner, and Princess Yang was also there.

The dinner was very sumptuous. Zhao Zhen specially ordered the kitchen to make the Queen Mother's favorite yokan, which was served with fried pancakes, which could make people swallow their tongues.

"The officials should go to bed early in the evening." Princess Yang said.

"Yes." Zhao Zhen admitted his mistake.

"Why did you stay up so late?" asked the Queen Mother.

"Reading." Zhao Zhen said seriously about the books he read, and the Queen Mother said happily: "I have grown up."

Zhao Zhen, who felt a little guilty, decided to throw away those books when he went back.

Luo Chongxun came in, "The Queen Mother, the officials, and the Imperial City Department reported that the party members were unscrupulously inquiring about the truth of the Song Dynasty in the city."

"The prime ministers and assistants..." The Queen Mother thought of the prime ministers and assistants who were in harmony with Xini, and then thought of Li Xian who called on the Li family to be wary, "warn them, this is Bianjing."

She had to make a gesture.

But after the warning was issued, it was of no use at all, and the party members were still unscrupulous.

After hearing the news, the Queen Mother immediately shouted, "Bitch thief! Are you so unruly?"

Zhao Zhen said angrily: "My eldest lady, we should be rounded up and driven out."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath, "Since they broke out of Honglu Temple's interception, they must have a backup plan. If they start to make a fuss... the party members are fierce, and Bianjing City cannot withstand the torment."

"Queen Mother!" Luo Chongxun walked in quickly, "The Imperial City Secretary reported that there were monks from the party beating the people outside Laoya Lane. Marquis Dingyuan ordered them to behead him with a sword."

Bah!
When everyone heard the sound and looked around, it turned out to be an official.

Zhao Zhen slapped his chopsticks on the table and shouted: "Refreshing!"

But what about the consequences?

The Queen Mother's expression changed slightly, "I'm afraid that the party members will take advantage of the situation and cause trouble, and someone will come!"

A eunuch came in, and he was playing tricks on Zhang Jing, an official of the Imperial City.

Zhang Jing reported: "Queen Mother, it was Shen Cong, the marriage officer of the Imperial City Department, who took action, but it was driven by Marquis Dingyuan."

"What's the point of talking about this now?" The Queen Mother said coldly: "Has the Imperial City Secretary been keeping an eye on those people?"

Zhang Jing lowered his head, "Several people have lost track of me. I am incompetent."

"Queen Mother, please see me, Marquis Dingyuan."

Li Xian is here.

He strode in, saluted, and said with piercing eyes: "Queen Mother, the party members are unscrupulously testing the bottom line of the Song Dynasty. I don't understand how far the Song Dynasty must go before they can take action!"

"That's a Dangxiang barbarian!" Zhang Jingqi tricked himself, "Once the Dangxiang people send troops, Bei Liao will also follow the trend and suppress the country with a large army, and the Song Dynasty will be in danger."

"Evasion will only make the enemy more complacent and daring. I beg your orders." Li Xian looked at the Queen Mother, "Tonight, I shall meet with the Dangxiang people in Bianjing City!"

He didn't say a battle, and the Queen Mother's expression brightened slightly.

"How are you going to do it?"

The Queen Mother made a quick calculation and realized that if she asked others to take action, she would definitely be afraid of the difficulties. Even if she was ordered to do so, she would probably just be conciliatory and just want to calm down the matter.

But Da Song could no longer bow his head.

The Queen Mother was keenly aware of the crisis. If Li Deming was made aware of the fierce sexual desire of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty, it would not be long before the northwest would be full of war.

"I like to talk with each other. In the talk with others, if you try to use your skills, you will either ignore it or attack them head-on."

The Queen Mother was pacing in the palace.

She suddenly stopped, her eyes full of sternness, "I'm giving you Bianjing tonight, what will you bring to me?"

Li Xian looked at her.

"The dignity of the Song Dynasty!"

The Queen Mother pointed outside, "Go! I'm waiting here!"

……

At Zhouqiao Night Market, the messenger is tasting snacks.

He tasted and talked to the vendor.Night fell and the lights were bright, making him lose his mind for a moment.

“It’s really heaven on earth!”

A look of intoxication flashed in the messenger's eyes, "Your Majesty said that the Southern Kingdom is a fat sheep. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true."

The entourage smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this fat sheep will be ours sooner or later."

An attendant walked over quickly with an angry look on his face, "Messenger, our people were killed in the outer city."

"Who?" The messenger was not angry but happy.

"Dingyuan Marquis Li Xian!"

This name made everyone startled, and they all thought of the secret spy who was ambushed outside Xiangzhou last time.

When the news reached Li Deming, he became furious and denounced the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty. He even called Zhao Zhen a yellow-mouthed kid.Then he ordered the envoy to go to Bianjing. During this trip, he must regain the dignity of Daxia.

This is the reason why the messenger is so arrogant and domineering.

"That wild dog!" the messenger yelled.

Li Xian was at the end of Zhouqiao Night Market, surrounded by the Queen Mother's confidants, Zhang Jing, the head of the Imperial City Department, and several generals.

There is a constant flow of people around, and the Zhouqiao Night Market is brightly lit.

"The Dangxiang people are in the middle section. More than ten people gathered together to eat and drink and inquire about the news." The spies from the Imperial City Division brought back the news.

"Marquis Dingyuan." Zhang Jing was quite dissatisfied when he was ordered to cooperate, but he did not dare to disobey the Queen Mother's decision.

The topography of Zhouqiao Night Market emerged in Li Xian's mind, "Let people encircle them and slowly narrow the siege."

Zhang Jing stamped his feet, "If they take the risk, there are so many people in Zhouqiao Night Market and the buildings are densely packed. A fire can turn the entire Bianjing city into the biggest torch in the world!"

"Just do it." Li Xian glanced at Zhang Jing.

The people from the Imperial City Department were looking at Zhang Jing. He turned away and waved his hand, "Follow the orders!"

Wen Yanbo said softly: "This is a pretense to avoid responsibility. This person's behavior is disgusting."

"Kuanfu, we are too soft to the outside world, so tonight, I want to show the people of Bianjing City and the monarchs of the Song Dynasty how to deal with foreigners."

Li Xian nodded, "Do it."

Groups of sergeants slowly surrounded them from all sides. People from the Imperial City Department were further ahead, sneaking in plainclothes.They will be tasked with closing the loopholes.

The envoy was arranging a counterattack, "I have seen the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty. They are weak and timid. As long as we make a decisive stance and risk our lives, they will definitely bow their heads. Your Majesty needs the Song people to bow their heads. Do you understand? Disperse and listen to me. Order and act." As soon as everyone agreed, they saw the people around them scattering.

Then, groups of Song Dynasty sergeants formed a formation and stepped forward.

"Tiger!"

An array was formed, the soldiers stamped their feet vigorously, and the fireworks suddenly became more murderous.

"Everyone come in!" The envoy took the people into a wine shop. The shopkeeper and his waiters escaped, shouting: "They are inside."

Li Xian is here.

"Seal the surrounding area!" Li Xian ordered.

An accompanying official suggested, "Master Marquis, demolish the buildings around the wine shop! This way, even if the party members set fire to it, the fire can be controlled."

"I also want to do this, but if we demolish the surrounding buildings, we will tell the party members that we are most afraid of them setting fire. At this moment, the competition is to see who can blink first!"

Li Xian heard the heavy footsteps and turned around to see Wang Zeng and Lu Yijian coming.

"How is it?" the two asked. Zhang Jing went to introduce him, and Li Xian approached the wine shop. The envoy inside shouted: "You kill the Daxia envoy, and I will burn down the Zhouqiao Night Market, and we will be destroyed."

Someone got a torch inside and lit it.

"I am waiting."

Li Xian remained motionless, "What are you waiting for? Where is the fire?"

"Prime Minister." Lu Yijian motioned to Wang Zeng to take care of it.

Just as Wang Zeng was about to go there, he heard Li Xian chuckle and say, "You don't dare!"

If Li Deming really wanted to proclaim himself emperor, he would not need to send an envoy to Bianjing. He would just create friction in the northwest and find an excuse to start a war.

Wang Zeng stopped, thinking that a fire would be set inside, but the torch was extinguished.

Lu Yijian was surprised, "You must be afraid of death!"

After all, the price of arson is to burn them all to death.

The envoy's roar came from inside, "The Song Dynasty is forcing us, and the king has no choice but to send troops. Bianjing will become a sea of ​​blood. The shame of the party members can only be repaid with blood!"

Wang Qinruo also came. His clothes looked okay, but he smelled of alcohol. "How's it going?"

"Still negotiating." Someone introduced the situation.

"Don't give them an excuse to start a war!" Wang Qinruo issued the order, but Li Xian ignored it and asked, "Where is Dangxiang's army?"

The messenger inside did not expect that Li Xian would be so indifferent, so he gritted his teeth and ordered: "It's time to sacrifice."

A monk came out with a smile, picked up a pot of oil, and poured it on his head.Someone offered candles and then stayed away.

The monk walked out of the wine shop, looked around, smiled strangely, raised his hand, and let go...

boom!
A burning man appeared in Zhouqiao Night Market, and people watching from a distance exclaimed.

Li Xian said coldly: "Shoot!"

A bowstring sounded behind him.

The monk raised his hands in the flames and shouted: "Daxia doesn't..."

A hail of arrows flew in and turned him into a hedgehog.

Li Xian ordered: "Assemble the archers. If anyone sets himself on fire, shoot them all!"

He will not give the party members a chance to show their so-called courage.

The arrival of groups of archers broke the envoy's wishful thinking.

The following monks finally saved their lives.

They were all looking at the messenger.

The messenger's expression changed.

The reason why he dared to take action was that he had spied the fierceness and inner lust of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty.

He further provoked tonight, this was an order from Li Yuanhao.If the Song Dynasty showed weakness and made peace, then Li Yuanhao would use this as an excuse to advise Li Deming to speed up preparations for becoming emperor.

Compared with the wily Li Deming, the 20-year-old Li Yuanhao was very heroic and even more admired by the envoy.

But at this moment, all his plans hit a wall with Li Xian.

Threatening, threatening again.Showing the determination of the party members to die, using death to make the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty timid...

But the person outside didn't care what tricks he used, he only had one way to deal with it.

tough!

No room for compromise is given to you.

Tough as a rock.

The messenger looked at the crowd and took out a short sword...

Outside, Wang Qinruo's face was livid, "Marquis Dingyuan is too reckless. It should be noted that the Li family has been looking for excuses to invade the Song Dynasty. If those people inside would rather die in a fight, Li Deming will definitely use this as an excuse to boost morale and attack the northwest in an all-out manner."

Lu Yijian sighed lightly and said nothing.

But it seems that everything is in that sigh.

Li Xian glanced at the two of them and said, "I said they would bow their heads."

If the envoy dares to provoke a war between the Song Dynasty and the Li family at this moment, Li Deming can kill his entire family.

Li Deming's plan was hidden from the emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty, but it was unilaterally transparent to Li Xian.

"Haha!" Wang Qinruo sneered. Just as he was about to speak, the door of the wine shop opened.

An envoy attendant came out, and then another...

"Kneel down!" someone shouted.

To kneel is to obey.

If you don’t kneel, you will live and die...

Lu Yijian looked up.

Wang Qinruo stopped talking and looked indifferently.

One by one, the party members slowly knelt down.

Hands up.
