Chapter 26 The person who likes to read in the crypt
Zhao Zhen is dead, he is the real one in the world.
From the snowy North to the scorching South, from the depths of the snowy mountains to the shores of the East China Sea, the most eye-catching color on the earth is white.
When a person was alive, he was loved by the people of the world. When he was alive, the people spontaneously built the most gorgeous mausoleum for him. Before his death, although he ordered a simple funeral and was not allowed to marry, the people of the world spontaneously abide by the orders of Emperor Bintian.
Despite all the rules, even the most shameless libertine would not dare to wear bright clothes easily.
The news of the emperor's death was still spreading. When Yelu Hongji learned about the death of Zhao Zhen and was mourned by the people of the world, he sighed and said: "They are all emperors, and I am only qualified to serve as a Yuhou under his account."
After hearing the news that Zhao Zhen had passed away, Wu Zangying Pang screamed and told the envoys returning to the country to strengthen border defense from this day on. The last kind person in the Song Dynasty had passed away, and the rest would be a group of unruly people.
The righteous wolf.
It has been three years since the death of Emperor Duan Silian of Dali State. After his son learned the news that Zhao Zhen had passed away, he laughed in the hall and said: "An old prisoner has died!"
He laughed out loud, but not one of the civil and military officials in Dali laughed along with him...
Yun Zheng wrapped a white cloth around his helmet and sat quietly in the tent waiting for the Liao envoy who came to the military camp to express condolences to the emperor.
It was unclear why the Liao envoy wanted to have a secret conversation with him, but in order not to be tricked by others, Yun Zheng dug a hole in the tent and asked Chen Lin to get in and listen together to what the Liao envoy had to say.
After the pit was dug, Wen Yanbo also jumped in, and Yun Zheng didn't stop him. He immediately asked someone to cover the pit with a mat. It didn't matter whether one person listened or two people listened. It didn't matter to Yun Zheng at the moment.
Big impact.
Although this was a very crude, very simple, and very hurtful way of showing distrust, Yun Zheng still didn't care.
He cares more about Yun Yue, who is now floating in the ocean and fighting against the wandering warriors of Japan.
The Song Dynasty was just a very abstract goal for him, not a specific thing.
Since everything is illusory, it doesn't matter whether it's insulting or not.
The Liao man who walked through the door was an imposing man. It was already late spring. He still wore a leather hat on his head and a python belt around his waist. This was the identity of the Liao royal family. The python belt was very new.
, there is no trace of hanging weapons.
He walked into Yunzheng's handsome tent with his hands behind his back, just like a curious tourist who mistakenly entered someone else's garden full of flowers, without any sense of awkwardness.
When we meet, we just hold each other's hands, and we have good demeanor and temperament.
Yun Zheng forcibly suppressed the urge to kill this man with a knife and said: "Why did Prince Ping come here by himself? They say that the son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. This behavior of Prince Ping is very bad. I took a long breath just now."
I'll chop your ass off with a single blow."
The Liao man opposite smiled and said: "Haven't Marquis Yun held back? Since he has held back, it proves that I am not in any danger. Why, Marquis Yun did not expect that it would be me, Yelu Yixin, who is coming?"
Yun Zheng shook his head and said: "I really didn't expect that King Ping would set up an eight-door golden lock formation under Tongtou Pass. Yun Zheng couldn't sleep because of this. All his thoughts were on how to break the formation. How could he have thought of King Ping?
I will follow the old story of King Zhao Wuling.
Even if he is following suit, Prince Ping should come quietly and then leave quietly, why should he expose it in person? This is unreasonable."
Yelu Yi smiled and said: "Don't tell secrets in front of people. If the young king really follows the example of King Zhao Wuling and secretly comes and goes when seeing King Qin's old affairs, in that case, can Marquis Yun allow me to go back safely?"
At this time, Marquis Yun’s swordsmen and axemen may have already ambushed the place where this king must pass.”
Yun Zheng chuckled and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Ping has a majestic appearance and a majestic figure. Yun has long heard that he can meet such a strange person as Prince Ping. How can Yun Zheng miss it?"
Yelu Yixin took a sip of the tea brought by the monkey and said: "This is the gap. Marquis Yun knows the appearance and life hobbies of almost all the important officials in Daliao, but Daliao still knows very little about Marquis Yun.
Very few, nothing can be said about it.
Everyone knows that knowing yourself and the enemy can win a hundred battles, but if you want everyone to do this, only a few people can do it?"
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "There are many such people in the Song Dynasty. There are such specialized talents in the world."
Yelu Yixin didn't understand what Yun Zheng was referring to, but Wen Yanbo, who was hiding in the pit, was blushing. Unlike Chen Lin, an eunuch who specializes in prying into people's privacy, what he did was indeed unbecoming of a gentleman.
Yun Zheng cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Ping came here not just to express condolences to our emperor, right? Thanks to His Royal Highness Prince Ping's help last time, Yun Zheng's letter could be presented to the Emperor of Liao. If something happens to Prince Ping, Yun Zheng
Zheng is naturally obligated."
Yelu Yixin said: "Emperor Renzong, who was extremely meritorious, divine, cultural, sage, martial, Ruizhe and Mingxiao, has passed away. At this time, I am afraid it is not in line with etiquette for you and me to use swords. It is better for our two countries to call it quits and wait for His Majesty Renzong."
How about fighting again after the period of filial piety is over?"
"I'm afraid we won't be able to stop fighting. His Majesty Renzong gave me a stern decree before he died. He is waiting in heaven for news that my commander has captured the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. Without this news, Your Majesty is unwilling to return to his post."
"Do you think that millions of soldiers in Daliao are all made of clay?"
"There is no way, His Majesty's will is before you. No matter if you are made of clay or made of steel, Yun Zheng has to gnaw at it. Even if his teeth are broken, he still has to try it.
Your Highness Prince Ping, the Northern Expedition to Yanyun is a national policy formulated by our Song Dynasty. We have been preparing for this for six years. With the whole country of our Song Dynasty, we will support the Northern Expedition. As long as the Song Dynasty still exists, the Northern Expedition will never be abandoned halfway.
Maybe, Your Highness no longer has to take any chances, you and I will meet on the battlefield sooner or later."
Yelu Yixin was silent for a long time, and finally looked at Yun Zheng and said, "I heard that the Taizu of your country had set up a pile sealing warehouse for the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. Is this relevant?"
Yun Zheng nodded and said, "It's true. The money in the pile storage is piled up like a mountain. I have seen it with my own eyes."
Yelu Yixin sighed and said: "Give me three sealed piles of silver and give you the sixteen states of Yanyun!"
The sip of tea that Yun Zheng had just drank was spit out in shock by these shocking words. He really didn't expect that Yelu Yixin would be shouldering this mission.
At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty proposed to the Liao Kingdom to use money to purchase the sixteen states of Yanyun. The monarch of the Liao Kingdom ruthlessly rejected it at that time. He also said that when the Liao Dynasty was strong, it would not take away the land and the people.
In exchange for money, when the Liao Dynasty was weak, it was even more impossible to exchange land and people for money. At that time, it was because of this sentence that led Emperor Taizong to raise troops for three northern expeditions.
Now he suddenly heard that the Liao Kingdom was willing to exchange Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures for money, which made Yun Zheng not surprised.
It wasn't just Yun Zheng who was shocked. Wen Yanbo, who was hiding in the tunnel, heard blood rushing to his forehead. He couldn't help but push the reed mat above his head and walked out of the pit calmly.
.
Looking at the very polite and open-mouthed Yelu Yixin, Yun Zheng couldn't help but admire this guy's shamelessness.
From a voyeur to a guest, his identity changed so freely that there was no trace of guilt on his breezy face.
"I, Wen Yanbo, have always had a habit of reading in the crypt."
Lao Wen's lies came at the drop of a hat, and his demeanor of neither being humble nor arrogant fully demonstrated his Confucian style of being unfazed by chaos.
Yelu Yixin gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder if there is any other noble official in your country who has the habit of studying in a cave. Why don't we introduce him to him?"
So Chen Lin walked out of the pit. He had not yet mastered cultivation, and there was still a look of guilt on his face.
After Chen Lin came out, she pointed to the pit in embarrassment, meaning that there was really no one inside. Yelu Yixin looked at the smiling Yun Zheng and said, "Since you have met Wen Kuanfu and Chen Jiexiu, why don't you please
Marquis Yun has invited Wang Jiefu here so that we can discuss important matters together."
Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Don't count me out. I have always been a military general in the Song Dynasty and do not engage in political affairs. I am only responsible for fighting. This kind of negotiation and other things are within the scope of other people's powers and have nothing to do with me! Wait until Mr. Jiefu arrives.
Just have a good talk."
As Yun Zheng spoke, he stood up from the tiger-skin chair and walked out of the tent with a smile, not stopping no matter how much Yelu Yixin tried to persuade him to stay.
Wang Anshi hurried over. Although he was not ashamed to hide in the pit and eavesdrop, he heard from Su Xun that the special envoys of the Liao Kingdom came to discuss the redemption of Yanyun Sixteen States with money.
For me, it is a huge victory that things have developed to the present point.
The sun outside was warm, and the monkey spread out a felt on the grass, placed various delicacies on it, and found a few soldiers who were good at sumo wrestling to perform sumo wrestling for the commander.
Watching the topless soldiers going back and forth, Yun Zheng would throw a piece of food on it from time to time, and the soldiers performing sumo would happily bite it into his mouth. He was eating and wrestling at the same time, and was enjoying himself.
The monkey sat behind Yun Zheng and fished the peaches in sugar water from the jar with his hands to eat. While eating, he asked Yun Zheng vaguely: "Master, do you really want to use that sealing treasury silver to buy Yanyun Sixteen States?"
?”
Yun Zheng threw the dried meat in his hand to Bo Xi's subordinates and said with a smile: "Sealing the pile warehouse? Is there any other sealing warehouse in the Song Dynasty? As early as the beginning of last year, it had been replaced by Pang Ji with the grain and grass needed by the army.
, ordnance, now, the rats in the pile sealing warehouse will probably starve to death."
The monkey said in surprise: "Without money, what can they use to buy Yanyun Sixteen States?"
Yun Zheng laughed and said: "Where did the Sixteen Yanyun Prefectures come from? Yunnei Prefecture is already under our control. The four prefectures of Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou and Yunzhou that belong to Yunei Prefecture are already under our control.
Most of the captured Xinzhou, Guizhou, and Wuzhou near Hebei have been captured by Di Qing, and what is left in the Liao Kingdom is only the Jiuzhou belonging to the densely populated Yanzhou."
The monkey said happily: "This way we won't have to spend much money."
Yun Zheng laughed loudly and said: "You fool, look at Wang Anshi, Wen Yanbo, and Chen Lin. Which one of them looks like a wealthy owner? In other words, which one of these three would be willing to spend money to buy Yan
