Chapter 539
539 Dream
the Ministry of Rites will be in charge of all the tributes from Goryeo. Any books related to divination, yin and yang, calendar, military books, imperial edicts, time Affairs, border strategies, and geography are prohibited from being purchased by Goryeo. All border inspectors must be strict. Anyone who deals with Goryeo in private must be severely punished. The Golden Pagoda that Goryeo gifted to the Empress Dowager is against the rules and can’t be distinguished. You can reject the gift.
As Song Shenzong spoke, he saw the Empress Dowager nodding her head in satisfaction. He then waved his hand, ” alright, this matter ends here. You may leave, Zhenzong.
Just as Xia Pingan was about to say something, the world of the realm Pearl shattered.
……
In the secret room, Xia Pingan opened his eyes and saw that the upper limit of his secret mandala’s divine power had become 8088 points. He couldn’t help but shake his head and smile bitterly, feeling a little helpless.
This divine power bead was a perfect fusion. He had completed one of Su Shi’s missions in the bead. However, Xia Pingan still had many regrets. If the bead could give him more time, he might be able to change something.
In real history, Su Shi had already seen the harm that the GAO Li diplomatic mission had caused to the song Kingdom when he was still the minister of rites. He had made various efforts to protect the information security and interests of the song Kingdom and to eliminate the GAO Li spies. However, the actual results were not optimistic. Many ministers and local officials in the Imperial court did not take this seriously at all. This was because in the second year, Su Shi’s younger brother, Su Zhe, went on a diplomatic mission to Liao Kingdom and discovered that the song had banned the GAO Li people from buying those books. The news had already spread to Liao by the Koreans.
Because the Khitans could kill the goguryeons, the goguryeons were like their dogs, always serving the Khitans. Almost all the goguryeons and messengers that came to the great song were Khitans spies who were investigating the various military situations and truths of the great song. It was such a simple fact that in the entire great song, out of all the civil and military officials, Su Shi was the only one who completely understood the ins and outs of the goguryeons and made the corresponding efforts and changes in his position.
Many officials of the song Dynasty even thought that Su Shi was narrow-minded and did not have the ambition of a big country.
After Su Shi and Su Zhe were demoted to Lingnan, the great song’s anti-Gaoli spy activities and efforts to maintain National Information security came to an abrupt end. From then on, the Gaoli people became even more unscrupulous in the great song.
What did the Imperial court and the other officials do? the song Dynasty often wasted money and resources to deal with the Goryeo emissaries. They built all kinds of luxurious venues and treated the great song with great hospitality. Every time Goryeo paid tribute, they would give the great song something useless, and the great song would give Goryeo all kinds of gifts. The entire imperial court was immersed in the illusion of the Goryeo paying Tributes and even felt proud of themselves.
Su Shi once wrote a poem to ridicule the Imperial court’s extravagant construction in order to receive the Korean emissaries, ” I wonder if I will be able to repay this person by bestowing Kun Xie with the title of a slave!”
As the goguryeons ate the food of the great song, they smashed the pots of the great song, sharing all the information, books, and wealth they had obtained from the great song with the Khitans, their enemies.
There was no justice in the world if the song Dynasty didn’t destroy a group of ingrates who had evil intentions.
Later on, the Khitans became the men of gold, and the men of gold were able to take the lives of the goguryeons. The goguryeons became the dogs of the men of gold, and continued to harm the great song. However, the great song still did not realize this and continued to spend money to raise a bunch of ungrateful wolves.
The goguryeons would become the dogs of whoever could take the lives of the ruling class of the goguryeons. They would continue to do things that would harm China. This was Su Shi’s conclusion about the goguryeons and also the law of history.
Because of the large leak of National Intelligence, the long military war between the great song, Liao, and Jin Kingdom was like an Invisible Man. There were no secrets to speak of. All of the actions of the great song were completely known by the Khitans and Jin people, and the important military matters discussed in peijing were quickly known by the Khitans. As a result, the Khitans had tried to blackmail the great song several times at the negotiating table, but all of them succeeded. The most serious one caused the great army to fail on the verge of success in their attack on the Western Xia.
The information of the Imperial court had been leaked so badly that even song Shenzong had to issue an imperial edict in person to prevent officials from discussing confidential matters of the Imperial court with their friends and family. In fact, an imperial edict was of little use.
To put it bluntly, the great song Dynasty was the most unsuccessful dynasty in terms of anti-espionage and National Information security. However, Su Shi was the only elite in that era who saw the great impact of maintaining National Information security and anti-espionage on the fate of the country. Su Shi’s sobriety, to a certain extent, was painful for him to be out of place in that era.
In history, it wasn’t until the year before the fall of the song Dynasty that song Qinzong seemed to have discovered the true face of the GAO Li diplomatic mission. He suddenly came to his senses and pinched his nose, ordering the GAO Li diplomatic mission to pay for all their expenses when they came to the great song. The great song officials would no longer receive them.
It’s just that it’s a little too late to wake up.
A thousand years later, when Su Shi arrived in Korea and got off the plane, he saw a group of Koreans wearing Han Chinese clothing, holding up a sign saying that Chinese clothes were also invented by them. Even Confucius became a goguryeon. Su Shi might think that history was going to repeat itself.
This time, it was no longer the Khitans or the Jins who could take the lives of the ruling class of Goryeo, but the people of the lighthouse on the other side of the ocean. As for the goryeons, more than a thousand years had passed, and they were still the same, always trying to steal something from China to waste away.
It only took him five minutes to merge with this realm Pearl.
Xia Pingan sat in the secret chamber for a while. In the end, he shook his head and left the secret chamber.
……
Emily returned less than three hours after she left the villa.
Emily, who had returned to the villa, looked very excited.
Xia Pingan happened to have some free time, so she was cooking in the kitchen. Emily took off her coat and scarf and sniffed the aroma of the food as she came to the kitchen.
teacher, they told me to report to school tomorrow. I also saw a few female patrol members. They’re very easy to get along with. There’s also an underground training ground near the patrol team. It’s modified from a shelter, and you can train in firearms and various fighting techniques there, ” said Emily as she looked at Xia Pingan’s expression. She carefully asked, ” I sparred with them today. A few female patrol members want to learn my fighting techniques from me. Teacher, you taught me the seven forms technique. Can I teach them?”
Xia Pingan laughed, ” of course you can!
Emily walked over and suddenly kissed Xia Pingan on the cheek. thank you, Luo an! she said.
Xia Pingan was stunned for a moment. Then, he shrugged and smiled.
Emily also pretended to be nonchalant, but in fact, her heart was pounding.
……
At night, in the spirit world.
The astral bodies that filled the sky appeared again.
After Xia Pingan entered the spirit world, he quickly locked onto tu Poya and Fang Lingshan’s astral projections. The two of them had gone to bed very early that night and were already waiting for Xia Pingan’s arrival.
With a thought, Xia Pingan had already flown into the sky and turned into a bright star. He entered his own dream and created things with his thoughts. With the emergence of his thoughts, a Huaxia-style Daoist Palace floating in the sky, like the numinous Sky Hall, appeared in his own dream.
For a mid-tier spirit herder, creating things in their own dreams was a piece of cake.
Outside the palace, red clouds swirled and red-crowned cranes danced in the air. Inside the Taoist sanctum, there was a magnificent Golden Palace with white jade as its steps.
After creating this Palace, he waved his hand and pointed at the flickering astral projections in the sky, summoning tu Poya and Fang Lingshan.
The two astral bodies flew into the hall and transformed into tu POYi and Fang Lingshan.
“Argh, where are we?” Tu Poya looked at the magnificent Hall and was shocked, ” is this also a dream? ”
well, this old tu is just teasing me in my dream, ” Xia Pingan smiled.
this is amazing! Fang Lingshan raised her head and looked at the majestic Golden Dragon pillar in the Great Hall. Above the Dragon pillar, there was a gorgeous dome filled with paintings of gods and Buddhas. it feels so real. I didn’t expect the dream to be so mysterious and enigmatic.
“Where’s Li Yunzhou?” Xia Pingan asked tu Poli.
I don’t know. I even specifically told him to rest early tonight, but that guy probably didn’t hear me. He probably went to the bar in the Chinese community to pick up girls again, saying that he wanted to relax a little, ” tu polu also said helplessly.
