One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Xin continued, "Also, Uncle An, from now on, every restaurant in Jiangnan will collect information on all officials in the state, including family status, whether there is any evidence of violating the law, etc. .1kanshu"

The housekeeper scratched his head and asked, "Why is Mr. Lang collecting this information?"

Li Xin smiled and said, "It will certainly be of great use in the future. Uncle An, just follow what I do."

The housekeeper shook his head and said, "Okay, a certain family knows."

Li Xin then said, "Uncle An, please ask the two teachers Wang Xiu and Fan Wen to come over. Everything else will be fine."

The housekeeper nodded and said, "Well, a certain family will invite these two teachers."

Li Xin asked the chef to prepare a sumptuous meal to entertain Wang Xiu and Fan Wen.

A quarter of an hour later, Wang Xiu and Fan Wen arrived.

Li Xin said, "Two gentlemen, please take a seat. Today I have specially prepared a table of sumptuous food for the two gentlemen to express my gratitude to the two gentlemen for their hard work in such a house."

The two of them said in unison, "I don't dare bother you, sir. This is what the two of you should do." The two of them murmured in their hearts why the gentleman was so polite today, and even specially prepared a table of delicious food, which had never happened before. Look Lai Langjun should have something important to discuss today.

Li Xin asked, "I wonder if everything is going well for you two gentlemen at home and with your family. If there is any negligence, I hope you will forgive me."

The two of them replied in unison, "Everything is fine. There is nothing neglectful in the house, and there is no shortage of food and clothing. We have been living a much better life this time, so I have to thank you husband even more."

Li Xin said, "That's good. I invited two gentlemen to come today to discuss something important." The two of them felt a little thump in their hearts, and they were about to come.

The two clasped their fists and said, "Mr. Sir, please speak."

Li Xin said thoughtfully, "I think both of you should know that since the founding of our country, the Khitan in the north and the Dangxiang in the west have never stopped fighting. But now the Liao Kingdom is in big trouble, and the Jurchen rebellion in the Liao Kingdom has been established." The Kingdom of Jin, Liao and Jin are currently at war, and the Liao army has been defeated by the Jin army and is currently in a very disadvantageous situation. This is an opportunity for this dynasty. The princes in the court also think so. They think it is an alliance with Jin. It is a good opportunity to resist the Liao Dynasty and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun, but I still have doubts about whether this opportunity is good or bad for us. If our northern neighbor is Daliao, then I don’t have to worry at all. After all, this dynasty We have been neighbors with Daliao for more than a hundred years, and have been fighting each other openly and covertly for more than a hundred years. Both sides know each other well, but if the northern neighbor is replaced by Daikin, it will be difficult to say. We don’t understand each other, how should we communicate with each other? How about getting along with the other party? Since the other party can destroy the Liao Kingdom, should we be wary? Or should we get along with Dajin like we get along with Liao? This is a new country after all, and we don’t understand the other party at all, so someone thought The two of you are sent to Daliao to serve as officials, and of course they are secret spies. On the one hand, you can inquire about the internal information of Daliao, and on the other hand, you can learn more about the new power of Daijin. What do you think?"

The two were silent for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Li Xin continued, "Of course, being a spy is a job with a near-death life. Everyone knows this, but this is also a good opportunity to leave your name in history. Your chances of becoming an official in the Song Dynasty are slim now. You can think carefully about whether you will be willing to be mediocre all your life." , it’s better to give it a try, if you can come back alive in the future, you will be our great contributors to the Han people."

After about a quarter of an hour of silence, one of the two spoke.

Fan Wen first asked, "Why are there two of us? There are not many people available in the court?"

Li Xin nodded and said, "Yes, there are many people available to the court, but the princes in the court did not think of this. They did not realize the danger of an unknown wolf appearing on the northern border. They were still dreaming of their own dreams. , this matter was made by one person on his own, and there was no one available for that person, so I thought of you two."

After another moment of silence, Wang Xiu continued to ask, "If we agree to Lang Jun's request, what will Lang Jun plan to do with our family?"

Li Xin said, "If the two gentlemen agree to X's request, I will take good care of their families. If the two of them die for state affairs in the future, I will raise them all their lives as if they were my own family members and prevent them from suffering." "

Fan Wen thought for a while and continued, "But the two of us have no connections in Daliao. How can we become officials?"

Li Xin replied, "I have already arranged this, so you don't need to worry about it."

After another moment of silence, Wang Xiu smiled bitterly and said, "It seems that we two have no choice!"

Li Xin stood up and bowed to the two men and said, "All the Han people in the world would like to thank you two gentlemen in advance."

Wang Xiu and Fan Wen looked at each other and smiled bitterly and said, "Well, the two of us agreed to what Lang Jun asked us to do. The two of us have also read books and know the way of saints. In the face of national justice, the two of us are not People who are greedy for life and afraid of death, since my husband has treated me so well, we will go all out to complete what you asked me to do, and we will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Li Xin said with a smile, "Two gentlemen, don't be nervous. Although the spy incident has a narrow escape, but with proper planning, there is still a high chance of coming back alive. Besides, this trip to Liao Kingdom will not be just for the two gentlemen, someone will also give you something." The two gentlemen picked up dozens of guards and went with them, along with two thousand taels of gold. Someone will receive these things when they arrive in Liao. The two gentlemen can go to Tianxiang Tower in Cangzhou Prefecture first. Someone will take you there. Sir, go to Liao territory."

Fan Wen smiled and replied, "Well, it seems that Lang Jun has been planning this for a long time."

Li Xin scratched his head and said, "Actually, less than half a year after the beginning, a certain person did not plan to arrange for people to serve as officials in Daliao so early. However, something happened in the Liao Kingdom recently, and someone arranged for someone to be an official in the Liao Kingdom." An excellent opportunity, so I had no choice but to choose two gentlemen to serve as officials in the Liao Kingdom."

Wang Xiu then said, "Okay, I wonder if Mr. Lang has any other instructions?"

Li Xin continued, "Well, yes, that is the attitude of the two gentlemen towards the Yanyun Han people after they entered the Liao Dynasty. I know that people in this dynasty actually look down on the Yanyun Han people and treat them as ordinary people. This approach It's wrong. Although they have lived under the rule of the Liao Kingdom for more than a hundred years, the Han people in Yanyun are also Han people. It's not that they don't want to return to the Han Dynasty, but that the court is unable to regain Yanyun. This cannot be blamed on them, and they are in The taxes in the Liao Kingdom are not as high as those in this dynasty, and they are living a pretty good life. Therefore, after becoming officials in the Liao Kingdom, the two gentlemen must get along well with the Yanyun Han people, and must not discriminate against them, otherwise it will be easy to expose the two gentlemen's identity.

The two of them replied in unison, "Yes, Langjun, we understand."
