After Li Qi heard the details, he only wanted to say two words---fuck you!
Judging from this series of events, the foreign policy of the Song Dynasty at that time was extremely stupid. You can either be soft to the end and have no ability, but strictly abide by the covenant and resolutely not invite surrender or rebellion. If you want to play tricks, that's fine, then you can
Fight to the end and don't give in. Those Han people came to seek refuge and you took them in. OK, there is no problem. However, it makes no sense that as soon as Jin came to ask for people, you just killed them and sent their heads to Jin.
.
How stupid a fool must be to do something like this!
As for Li Gang, he is too fierce and does not understand the principle of a weak country without diplomacy. The other party is clearly looking for trouble. It would be better for you to hit the gun yourself and make it clear that there is no way for you to survive!
Yes. Li Gang is definitely a talented person. There is no doubt that if the two countries are evenly matched, he may be the next Kou Zhun to do diplomacy. However, the power gap between the two countries is so big, you are so stupid to go and fight with the other party.
Frontally, this is not seeking death.
Li Qi was really speechless, and he didn't know what to say, because the responsibility was all on his side.
After Qin Hui finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Li Qi and saw that his face was expressionless and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't dare to speak rashly again.
After a while, Li Qi said: "How is the emperor doing now?"
Qin Hui said carefully: "Because the other party came too suddenly, the court seemed a little unprepared. When the emperor learned all this, Long Yan was furious and severely criticized the prince. However, the matter was urgent and the emperor was not in a hurry.
To investigate the responsibility, the imperial court is now intensifying its efforts to discuss countermeasures. I believe the emperor will think of you soon."
Long Yan was furious? I thought he would kill the Jin envoy, but he was targeting one of his own people! Li Qi smiled and said: "Thinking of me? What's the use of thinking of me? I'm not a god. The other party is sincerely looking for trouble.
What can I do? They are the ones who caused this trouble. Why should I be asked to clean up this mess? It’s really ridiculous."
After a pause, he suddenly asked: "By the way, how is Li Gang doing now?"
Qin Hui was stunned for a moment and thought to himself, why is your lord still thinking about Li Gang at this time? How did this person offend your lord? Although he had many questions in his heart, he did not dare to ask more questions. He only said: "There are people in the court."
Many people have impeached Li Gang because of this matter, but at this time the emperor is trying to figure out how to appease the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin. He has not yet been dealt with, but he has been ordered not to enter Honglu Temple."
God is really helping me. Wanyan Zongwang, you are a kind person and you have helped me a lot. Li Qidao: "Qin Hui, you have always been resourceful. What do you think of this matter?"
Qin Hui's eyes fluttered left and right a few times, and then he stopped talking: "I'm the official ---."
Li Qi raised his hand and said: "You don't have to worry too much, the matter is over. Is there anything worse than now? Besides, I just listened to it, and I may not necessarily adopt it."
Qin Hui said: "Then let me tell you directly."
"Say it. Say it."
Qin Hui said seriously: "Judging from various signs, the old affairs of the Jin Kingdom are brought up again, and it is most likely that they want to use force against us, the Song Dynasty. If you want to impose a crime, there is no reason to hesitate. Even if we can overcome the difficulties this time,
The other party will find other reasons. In this case, I think we should not stop doing it and be tough to the end, even if it means breaking our skin."
Perhaps in the understanding of later generations, Qin Hui killed Yue Fei and was undoubtedly a traitor, but few people paid attention to how he became a traitor. In fact, during the Jingkang Incident, he was still a very independent patriot.
He once advocated not surrendering and fought to the death with the Jin Kingdom. Unfortunately, due to his low status in the court and Li Gang's resignation, he was also captured by the Jin Kingdom. When he appeared again in the Song Dynasty, he was already another person.
People.
No one is born willing to be a traitor. Since times can create heroes, times can also create traitors.
As expected of Qin Hui, he is brave and resourceful. He is indeed a talent! Li Qi sighed in his heart, but said inconsistently: "Then let me ask you, can we defeat the Kingdom of Jin?"
Qin Hui was stunned for a moment and did not answer.
Li Qi continued: "With the current situation of our Song Dynasty, we can no longer withstand the baptism of any war. As the deputy economic envoy, you should understand the truth. Don't say such things in the future."
Qin Hui nodded and said: "Yes. I have remembered it."
"Um---."
Just when Li Qi was about to say something, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor outside. Another "bang" was heard, and the door was pushed open from the outside, and Zhao Huan was seen walking in in a hurry.
You didn't knock on the door? You really treat the chairman's office like a hut. You can come and leave whenever you want. It's so unreasonable. Although Li Qi was full of curses in his heart, he still said in surprise on his face: "Your Highness, Prince?"
"Your Majesty Qin Hui, please see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Huan seemed to be very anxious at this time. He waved his hand towards Qin Hui and said: "No courtesy, no courtesy. Qin Hui, please go out first."
Qin Hui knew the reason, nodded and sang, saluted Li Qi again, and then went out.
As soon as Qin Hui closed the door, Zhao Huan almost knocked Li Qi down and said anxiously: "Li Qi, you must help me this time!"
Sweat! There's no need to be so excited. Li Qi stretched out his hand and tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, saying: "Your Highness, let's just sit down and talk."
Zhao Huan didn't want to sit down, but he nodded and sat on the sofa.
Li Qi sat next to him, poured him a cup of tea, and said: "Your Highness, please drink tea first."
Zhao Huan responded vaguely, but he was really not in the mood to touch the tea cup.
As a king, he was so panicked about such a trivial matter. Alas. Li Qi glanced at Zhao Huan, sighed secretly, and said: "Your Highness came to me because of the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin."
Zhao Huan said hurriedly: "That's not it."
Li Qi smiled slightly and said: "I have just heard from Qin Hui about this matter. Your Highness, I don't know whether I should say something or not?"
Zhao Huan waved his hand and said: "Say it, say it. No matter how ugly the words are, I have heard a lot in the past two days."
"I might as well speak frankly." Li Qi's eyes flashed and he said: "Actually, if we really talk about this matter, Honglu Temple is indeed a bit inappropriate. When it comes to financial resources, no one in the Song Dynasty can match it, but when it comes to military strength,
, that --- the Jurchen barbarians, tough and good at fighting, bloodthirsty in nature, cruel and unkind, almost inhuman, even the Khitan people were beaten to a pulp by them, and I, the Song Dynasty, are even less of an opponent. If they are angered, two people will be provoked.
A war between the two countries. The consequences would be really unimaginable."
Zhao Huan trembled when he heard this, and his face turned green with fright. He hurriedly explained: "How come I don't know this, and I don't want to. But---well, in short, this time I was harmed by that Li Gang
What a tragedy. At that time, I didn’t even think that the other party was actually here to ask questions. It can be said that I was completely unprepared. I didn’t understand it at the time. Li Gang started arguing with the envoy, and by the time I reacted, it was already too late to stop."
With that said, he hurriedly said to Li Qi: "Li Qi, now I can only rely on you. If the irreversible situation is caused by Honglu Temple's mistake, then I will really have no choice but to leave."
The blame is on you. You always have many ideas and you must have a way to turn the situation around. In fact, it’s not just me. My father thinks so too, and it was my father who asked me to come to you to discuss countermeasures this time."
Now that he and Honglu Temple have become the target of public criticism, and those ministers have put the blame on him, how can he not be anxious?
Li Qi said with a loyal face: "Your Highness, don't be anxious. I, Li Qi, am by no means an ungrateful person. For Your Highness, let alone this mere gold envoy, I will never frown even if I go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of fire."
.”
It is true that a friend in need is a friend indeed! Zhao Huan was so moved that he looked at Li Qi with tears in his eyes and was so excited that he could not speak.
No, I just said it casually, why don't you just pledge yourself to me? This is too exaggerated. In fact, you have many sisters. Li Qi couldn't help but shrink his body,
Asked: "Your Highness, I wonder what the current situation is like?"
Zhao Huan said: "The envoys from the Kingdom of Jin were originally going to return home today. Fortunately, they were kept in time. My father will receive him in the main hall tomorrow. When the time comes, it will all depend on you."
Li Qi patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, your highness. I don't think they are sincerely looking for trouble. At most, they just want to blackmail you. I'll meet him tomorrow."
Li Qi's confident tone seemed to inject a shot in the arm into Zhao Huan's heart, making him feel that as long as Li Qi was there, nothing would be a problem, and he felt a lot more at ease.
Li Qi calmed Zhao Huan's weak mind and sent Zhao Huan away with great effort.
However, this was just the beginning. Next, Cai Jing, Bai Shizhong, Liang Shicheng and other ministers came to see Li Qi. When it came to eloquence, Li Qi had shown this talent countless times, so they all
Place your hopes on Li Qi.
Compared with facing Zhao Huan, Li Qi behaved very modestly when facing Cai Jing and others. He did not dare to make arrogant claims, but only said that he would do his best.
The next day.
In the main hall, all the civil and military officials were all absent, and they were all ready. Although Song Huizong was still sitting on the throne, he looked a little haggard. It seemed that he had been so frightened that he could not sleep or eat well in the past two nights.
"The envoys of the Kingdom of Xuan Jin, Xiao Cunzhi and Du Qingfeng, were sent to the palace by Xie Dai'an."
Judging from the names of these three envoys, they are undoubtedly Han. Yesterday, Li Qi had learned the details of these three people from Cai Jing and others. It turned out that these three people were all former ministers of the Liao Kingdom, and they were all said to be eloquent.
People like De had also represented the Liao Kingdom in dealing with the Song Dynasty before.
However, the three of them have one thing in common, that is, they all lived in the Yanyun area recently. I believe that no one in the world hates the Song Dynasty more than them. Wanyan Zongwang sent them here, that is
Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone on the road.
After a while, I saw three middle-aged men wearing Jin Dynasty costumes walking up to the hall. These three people were almost at the age of knowing their destiny. They looked proud. When they stood in the hall, they regarded Song Huizong on the steps as if they were nothing.
If you say you are saluting, you are simply turning a blind eye.
Arrogant!
Too arrogant!
Song Huizong's face was dull and embarrassing, but he dared not speak out.
Li Qi looked at Song Huizong's reaction and felt chilled in his heart. The king of this country was so weak in his own territory. How could the negotiation continue?
However, Jiang Daoyan stood up and scolded: "You are so rude and don't even look at where this place is. Why don't you bow to His Majesty and apologize?"
Xiao Cunzhi laughed wildly, raised his head and said: "We worship the sky, the earth, and the Lord, but we cannot salute some capricious and dishonest villains." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, novels. Better updates and faster!
