Chapter 439: The Growth of Zhao Dezhao
Southern Tang surrendered.
It was very sudden, but it was not abruptly surrendered.
Li Yu is indeed not the kind of person who is trying hard to do it. To be precise, he should be a good person in essence, a kind person. It is impossible for a person who cannot be cruel to others to be cruel to himself.
Compared to Gongsun Zan, who killed his whole family with his own hands, he was less heroic, but more humane. It was precisely because of this humane atmosphere that when he saw a group of ministers crying and shouting for him to surrender, he was already collapsed.
Sun Yue, who had made up his mind to be a salted fish, inexplicably made another first achievement. After all, the legendary thing about going to the meeting alone was too high, and it was almost overwhelming the actual coach Cao Bin this time.
This made Sun Yue feel very unhappy and depressed for an afternoon. I don’t know if he would be more successful than the master, and he would have no rewards.
Since it is surrender, the ritual of surrender is naturally indispensable. Sun Yue has seen these things once in Cheng, so he is naturally not interested in them. After all, no matter whether it is true or false, these civil and military officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty have to cry like a father. This is also part of the etiquette, so they are all handed over to Cao Bin. He himself is very sensible and minimizes his presence.
Fortunately, Cao Bin was also a elegant commander and treated Li Yu more politely. After the soldiers entered the city, they were more disciplined. In addition to taking out the gold, silver, money, silk and other things in the Southern Tang treasury, all other valuable things were sealed, and there was nothing to disturb the people.
Sun Yue returned the sword object of the emperor to the original owner. The two hugged each other for a moment. Cao Bin only said lightly, asking for merit for you. Sun Yue said no, so she didn't say anything more.
Sun Yue knew that Cao Bin was not very convinced by this Privy Councilor, and he did not have enough qualifications and credit, so he was very sensible and tried his best to show off. Even Jinling tried not to interfere in the post-war settlement. This was the tacit understanding between the two of them.
But after all, it was a national destruction war, and the aftermath was still very heavy, and they had to stay for a while, so Sun Yue was very bored. Fortunately, Cao Bin's methods were pretty good, and the Song army was also very obedient. The city calmed down very quickly. After a few days, the Qinhuai River gradually became lively again.
I really have to admire the vitality of this special industry. It can actually bloom in the war. Perhaps it is because everyone has suffered from the trauma of the war and needs to heal their souls. Unexpectedly, Murong Yan did not object to Sun Yue's visit and study, which rarely reflects the moral character of a big woman. Finally, Sun Yue, who has been in trouble, enjoyed a rare holiday.
In a few days, an unexpected person came, that is, the nominal coach Zhao Dezhao, who went to the battle this time. To be honest, this food appearance is a little ugly, but who makes people the biological son?
Because Cao Bin is busy, Cui Yanjin, Pan Renmei, and Dangjin are both busy, and Sun Yue and Zhao Dezhao are of similar age, at least they have a close relationship on the surface, so the heavy responsibility they meet undoubtedly falls on Sun Yue's shoulders, which makes Sun Yue urge to do serious things.
After leaving the city for thirty miles to greet him, he looked at Zhao Dezhao's about 200 people, all with tall and big horses, and white-robed guards, Sun Yue frowned unconsciously. It can be seen that Zhao Dezhao seemed to have a little admiration for him, but this is a big deal.
Zhao Dezhao didn't feel embarrassed at all. Seeing Sun Yue getting off the horse from afar, he also got off the horse from afar, and then hugged, shook hands and laughed loudly in his armor robe that was almost the same as Sun Yue. The enthusiasm made Sun Yue unable to bear it.
"Your Highness, Cui Shuai and the others are busy, and Pan Shuai has led his troops south. Some places have to move troops, especially the resistance forces have run to the sea to become pirates. It's quite troublesome, so I couldn't come here to greet you in advance."
Zhao Dezhao smiled heartily and said, "Brother Yue, don't joke. I know that I not only robbed me, but also made trouble. How could I let Pan Shuai and the others take the time to pick me up? Brother Yue, you can come, it's enough to be loyal to you."
Sun Yue smiled and said, "Your Highness is joking. There is no need to say much about Nan Tang's affairs, but it is quite messy. Your arrival can be considered as giving us a backbone. Let's get on the horse. Pan Shuai should have prepared a banquet in the city."
"Ha, Brother Yue is making fun of me. I'm not the one I don't know. I won't get involved in the serious business. I've heard that Jiangnan is beautiful and unparalleled in the world, so I just thought it was here to have fun. To be honest, it's the first time I've been going so far away when I grow up. If Brother Yue has time, I'll be with me?"
Sun Yue smiled and said, "I can't ask for it."
Zhao Dezhao is indeed aware of this. If he could really play the whole game, Sun Yue would really have to look up to him.
Originally, Zhao Dezhao came a little late. Maybe Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect Sun Yue to dare to go to the meeting alone. Li Yu surrendered a little earlier than his calculations, which led to Zhao Dezhao, the head coach, not being able to get in place before breaking the city. To be honest, he would not be able to make any mistakes, but his existence itself was already annoying enough. Even if no one said anything, I'm afraid there would still be ideas in his heart.
Among the five coaches, except Sun Yue, is not his elder. If he is a leader, he will probably have to endure it if he is angry and makes a few words from him. Besides, how big is he to think that he will do better than Cao Bin and the others?
Is it just a reputation? As long as he appears here, he will achieve his goal. He really doesn't have to do anything. Instead, he does more and more mistakes and does nothing. Instead, it will make people feel that his highness is sensible, and even praises him when he is performing his achievements.
When Zhao Dezhao thought of this, he was really mature and looked more and more like a crown prince in a country. This changed Sun Yue’s impression of him a lot. He has grown very quickly after the hard work in the past year.
As for inviting Sun Yue, it was purely for winning over. Among the five commanders, Sun Yue was clearly involved in the party struggles in the court. On the surface, the two uncles were fighting, but in fact, it was still a dispute between the national crown prince.
Especially this year, he finally got his wish and entered the Political Affairs Hall. He was named Pingzhangshi, a minister of the Secretariat. He was a dignified prime minister, but there was no so-called princeling in the imperial court. Xue Juzheng was the real person in charge of the Political Affairs Hall. This hurt him very much, but he could not helpless. You must know that Zhao Pu had called the wind and rain in this position before, and Zhao Guangyi had no power to fight back. This made him even less reason to blame his emperor father for being partial.
In the officialdom these days, no one really sees what kind of official you are. Power is more important than anything else.
In the same situation, he thought of his younger uncle Zhao Guangmei. He was both young and had a very high position. How could he do well? Soon he figured it out that the only one he was missing was Sun Yue! Think about it carefully, wasn’t Zhao Guangyi able to become the civilian leader of half of the court so quickly because of Sun Chunming around him?
So, Sun Yue felt very uncomfortable now. He felt that Zhao Dezhao looked very strange, as if it was burning. He had never heard of his nobleman's habit of being ashamed to meet others?
