Good guy, I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such shameless people. Ye An actually laughed angrily.
"Give me this device? Who would use such a nondescript thing except your party! The gunpowder bullets of the Song Dynasty are many times more powerful than this gunpowder-like thing. As for the Liao people, isn't it good to use local materials?
?Specially made a special trip to use the materials produced by your party to make gunpowder bombs to attack yourself? As for the Uighurs...do you believe this? The Uighurs will attack the Liao people? Don't pretend to be crazy and act stupid, trying to sow discord between our dynasty and the Liao dynasty.
Relationships are really not a wise choice. Doing so will only make Song and Liao more cautious. These things will definitely appear in front of Yeluhan, the Liao envoy!"
"Ye Hou is deliberately framed!" Yang Shousu said confidently.
"So what?! Your brain is okay, and you know the Han family's methods thoroughly, but you know nothing about the power! Go back and tell Li Yuanhao that the reason why the conspiracy is called a conspiracy is because it cannot be revealed in the sun.
!”
Yang Shousu's expression changed slightly, he looked at Ye An calmly and said, "Ye Hou is really talented! It's just that people like you may have a hard time moving forward in the Song Dynasty!"
"Does it have anything to do with you? What you can't get yourself, you think others can't get it like you? You didn't even pass the imperial examination and you still have the face to come back? As an envoy, isn't it just to make everyone in the court feel regretful? Wrong.
Yes, on the contrary, I think your going to the party is the greatest help to me! Haha..."
Yang Shousu was furious. Failure to succeed in repeated trials was the biggest scar on his body. Now that it was bloodyly uncovered by Ye An, he couldn't suppress his inner anger. But seeing Tieniu put his hand on the horizontal knife, he immediately calmed down.
Come on, Ye An did it on purpose! He was deliberately provoking himself to take action, so even if he was killed on the spot, it would still be his own fault.
Then he sneered and said: "Ye Hou is a good man, and he uses the provoking method very well!"
Seeing that he had regained his composure, Ye An nodded and stood up and said, "Yes, it's not easy to keep oneself calm, but it's a pity that it's not enough."
After saying that, Yang Shousu left without waiting for anything to say. The pressure that should be put on Yang Shousu has already been put on Yang Shousu. The next step is to wait for the result. I believe he will give a reaction soon.
After boarding his bullock cart and leaving Honglu Temple, Ye An knew very well that he had no way to arrest Yang Shousu or the party delegation. Even if the evidence was conclusive, it would be useless, not to mention that Yang Shousu was planning to kill him right now.
The Song Dynasty was not ready for the Western Expedition. The growth of Dangxiang people in the northwest was visible to the naked eye. Everyone in the court hoped to handle the threat to Dangxiang smoothly. The best way was to maintain stability like the Liao Dynasty.
But they forgot that Dangxiang was different from the Liao Dynasty. The Liao Dynasty could supplement its shortages through the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and could also meet part of its needs by squeezing the Jurchens and Goryeo, but Dangxiang was different.
Dangxiang is surrounded by either the Liao Dynasty, which is also good at nomadism, or Qingtang, which is good at surprise attacks. He needs to continue to plunder to accumulate primitive capital.
The invasion of the Song Dynasty satisfied the originally scarce materials. In the final analysis, the party members lacked the means of production and living. This is an essential problem and cannot be obtained through internal changes. It can only be satisfied through external changes.
Going south to invade the Song Dynasty was the first and only choice for Dangxiang people. Qingtang was not much better than Dangxiang. The cost of invading Qingtang was high but the benefits were small. Li Yuanhao was no longer prepared to attack Qingtang.
The more this happened, the more cautious Ye An became. The current party items would only have one goal, the Song Dynasty, and the same purpose was to provoke conflicts between Song and Liao in Tokyo City.
After returning home, Ye An didn't even have time to look at the lanterns, so he rushed into the study to write notes to Zhao Zhen. Shangshu reminded him that the Party members were likely to launch an attack on the border states of the Song Dynasty this year, and that such an attack would be plundering. host.
The Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month is the most important festival for the people of the Song Dynasty. Its grandeur is even greater than that of the New Year's Day. Except for Tokyo, the gates of all major state capitals in the Song Dynasty are relaxed and open all night.
On the basis of the original three days of lighting lanterns from the 14th to the 16th day of the first lunar month, Taizu Qiande decided to "light the lanterns for five nights" in the fifth year of the first lunar month, that is, adding two days of lighting lanterns on the 17th and 18th day of the first lunar month. This has been continued since then, giving the Song The joy is extended again.
It can be said that the people of the Song Dynasty enjoyed the most enjoyment in all dynasties. Behind the commercial prosperity must be the increase in people's income and the result of the two-way development of agriculture and commerce.
Although the Song Dynasty last year was not smooth sailing, even the disaster in the Jianghuai River did not cause the court to spend too much money on relief. As for the stability of Ganliang and Northwest China, trade has flourished.
In short, in one sentence, the Song Dynasty made a lot of money last year. The merchants made money, the people made money, and the court even made money.
Therefore, whether it is New Year's Day or Lantern Festival, there are celebrations again and again. Lanterns, flower boats, and floats are dazzling on the streets. A huge shed is built in front of the inner courtyard facing Xuande Tower, and it is all tied with colorful ribbons.
The mountain top is painted with stories about immortals, with Manjusri, Samantabhadra, Crossing Lion, and White Elephant painted in five colors on the left and right. The most amazing thing is that five streams of water flow out of each finger, which is really amazing.
He also tied the dragon with grass, covered it with a green curtain, and placed thousands of lanterns and candles densely. Looking at it, it looked like two dragons flying away. Zhao Zhen, Emperor Xuande, installed a viewing lantern, with a sign saying "Jingyou and the people are enjoying themselves" "Everyone with a surname looks at it and calls him long live."
Chen Tong came quickly with a memorial and saw Zhao Zhen talking happily to Li Di, so he placed the memorial on the imperial desk without leaving any trace, and also pulled some refreshments to block the view of others.
Zhao Zhen glanced at him and saw the special mark on the memorial. While drinking tea, he took it without leaving a trace and hid it in his sleeve.
Upstairs in Xuande, Zhao Zhen invited important ministers to watch the lanterns, and downstairs in Xuande, people celebrated the festival. Dance groups from various folk groups or shops performed in the streets and alleys. The lights were charming and the ribbons were sultry.
At this time, the imperial court also sent officials to patrol, and they rewarded the dance troupes twice as much, and they also gave rewards to those doing small business. This reflected the imperial court's intention to enjoy the people together.
Ye An was also pulled to the gate of the Hou Mansion by Qin Mumu and Fang Linyue. Xinlingfang is close to Nanmen Street. The lantern viewing here is the most lively, but it is more pyrotechnic than Xuande Tower, which is high up there.
Xuan'er held the children one by one, and Ye Mei was easy to talk to. Ye Ling, a crazy girl, liked to run around everywhere, and the generals of the Hou family did not dare to take their eyes off her for a moment.
The neighbors in Xinlingfang also came out. At this time, Ye An discovered that most of the Xinlingfang were retired veterans who had followed him. Like the old worshipers of the Cao family, some of these people were missing arms and legs. But I don't know why, with these people in Ye An, I feel that I can sleep at ease.
Gang Wang put his child down and let him play with the Tie family's children, while he talked to Tie Niu, laughing from time to time. Ye An came over and the three of them started drinking in front of Ge Shanshu's stall.
Although Ye An is now a dignitary in the court, Tieniu and the Wang Gang have not changed much. One of them serves as Ye An's personal bodyguard honestly, and the other continues to be a diligent butler. As for the estrangement, there is no gap at all.
