Yun Zheng had no idea that he was about to become a kindergarten teacher. After sneezing twice, he decided that he had a cold. He bowed his hands to a room full of distinguished ministers and prepared to go to recuperate.
It's best to start getting sick at this time. These guys are already discussing who to send to accompany the emperor to see the Emperor of Liao.
Shi Zhongxin looked anxiously at Yun Zheng who was running away, and then at Gao Jixuan who was eager to try. He ignored Han Qi's ferocious gaze, cupped his hands and shouted "internal emergency" and ran away with Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng made an excuse and ran away, and Han Qi's meeting could no longer go on. He patted the table angrily and ordered the meeting to disperse.
Gao Jixuan looked up at Han Qi and said, "The general thought he could just follow..."
Han Qi said to Gao Jixuan without even opening his mouth: "Those who follow His Majesty to meet with the Liao Emperor must not only be able to adapt to changes in circumstances, but also need strong coercion to control the situation and support His Majesty. Do you think you are very suitable?"
?"
Gao Jixuan argued: "As long as you give me elite soldiers..."
"Are you commanding the arrogant soldiers under Yunzheng's command?"
After Han Qi scolded Gao Jixuan, he walked away, convincing Yun Zheng that the best candidate to accompany the emperor was Lao Bao. Since he was not here now, he was not going to say anything more.
Gao Jixuan watched other nobles walking past him, but no one spoke for him. He knew that these people also had the same view as Han Qi. He gritted his teeth and it was unreasonable for his Gao family to fight to the death for the emperor.
Not being treated with high regard from others, people were unwilling to participate in such a shocking meeting like following the emperor to form an alliance with the Liao Kingdom. I couldn't force myself to come, and I felt despair for a while.
"My brothers and sisters are here too!" Shi Zhongxin casually greeted Ge Qiuyan, then sat down beside Yun Zheng who was wrapped in a blanket and ready to sleep.
"This seems to be the inner chamber of my family!" Yun Zheng straightened up and complained.
"It's not like you've never been inside my inner house. My concubine barely sleeps in the same bed as you. I have something in my heart that I want to ask you. I feel uneasy if I don't ask you clearly."
Yun Zheng sighed and said: "If Gao Jixuan wants to go, just allow him to go. There is no need to push me to the front. I have a mental problem now. If I get angry, I will hack the Emperor of Liao to death on the spot. You will be in big trouble."
Besides, I caught a cold just now, and you all heard me sneezing, so why don’t you let me go?"
"If you can hack the Emperor of Liao to death, I will welcome you with both hands and feet, Old Shi. This is not the problem now, but the problem of people planning to hack our Emperor to death. His Majesty sent someone to kill our charming Queen, who lost one of her arms. She is still alive and kicking.
The ministers have been turned into wax figures by you and Li Chang. Xijing is a good place, but now it is hard to find many people by cobbling together. With such a deep hatred, the Emperor of Liao will definitely find his Majesty to settle the matter.
At least you can resist for a while if you go. If Gao Jixuan goes, I think we will probably have a five-year-old baby master."
"What is negotiation? Negotiation is a process of mutual concessions and mutual accommodation. You just heard how Han Qi set the tone for the negotiation. The Chanyuan Alliance does not count. We are going to revise the Dingzhou Alliance. We previously promised to
All the benefits of the Liao Kingdom are gone. The Liao Kingdom still wants to allow merchants from the Song Dynasty to do business in the Liao Kingdom. Of course, merchants from the Liao Kingdom can also come to the Song Dynasty to do business. Isn’t this a clear way to bully the Liao Kingdom?
Also, the Liao and Song dynasties were still brothers. Every year during the Qianqiu Festival, the emperors of the two countries presented birthday gifts to each other, and the return to their mother should not be less than 100,000 guan.
The emperor of the Liao Kingdom must marry a Song Dynasty princess, and the concubine must be a noble concubine. What is going on? Is this the plan to assimilate the royal blood of the Liao Kingdom? Your Majesty is already assimilating the blood of my Yun family, and now the Liao Dynasty
Even the emperor won’t let it go? Do you think the proud and arrogant Emperor Liao can agree?”
"Isn't the Song Dynasty also going to marry a princess from the Liao Kingdom? It's fair! This is just a flower job. Neither emperor can touch this princess. It's just a decoration, a statement, and there is one more person in the palace.
It’s just a vase.”
"No! If that's the case, there is no need for Han Qi to emphasize this matter seriously. There must be something behind it that we don't know about. Lao Shi, is there something you haven't said to me?"
Shi Zhongxin beat his chest and called Tianqu: "Heaven and earth bear witness, I, Lao Shi, have told you everything I know. Now we both know the same amount.
However, I also feel that Han Qi seems to have bad intentions. It is impossible for him to figure out such a complicated matter in a short period of time. It is impossible for the Pang people to be in Tokyo without discussing it in advance. I can only say that they have already
There was a premeditation."
"Nineteen shopping malls will be opened at the same time over two thousand miles. They call it mutual trading. In my opinion, this means installing nineteen large pipes on the border to draw the blood of the Liao Kingdom. Any Liao people with any knowledge will not
Maybe you agree to such conditions that seem fair but are actually vicious.
As soon as the talks collapsed, the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom immediately returned to a state of war. Since these people knew that it was impossible to negotiate, why did they ask the emperor to negotiate? Do you want me to rack my brains to worry about the emperor's safety? To put it bluntly
Seriously, do these civil servants really intend to change the emperor?"
Shi Zhongxin covered Yun Zheng's mouth with a nervous slap and whispered: "Grandpa, how dare you say such a thing? Get rid of this idea quickly. No one wants the emperor to die. Absolutely not. The one who proposed the alliance is
The emperor himself has no one to instigate him."
Yun Zheng pushed Shi Zhongxin's big hand away, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and said: "Anyway, I think this is abnormal. If you can't help it, don't participate. If you can avoid it, just avoid it. Lao Shi, you'd better run away. I
The supervisor Li Chang told me that as long as we win a great victory, I must live like a grandson. I am now pretending to be a grandson. Do you want to pretend to be a grandson?"
Shi Zhongxin said angrily: "Damn it, I have never been an uncle. The bastard Han Qi came to my military camp and did whatever he wanted. He treated me as a shadow. I have never done anything else in my life. I am just a bastard."
He is now a grandson."
Seeing that Shi Zhongxin was still a little unhappy, Yun Zheng patted his hand and said: "Don't worry, I just don't want to be manipulated by civil servants. It's not that I don't want to accompany His Majesty for the alliance. I'm waiting for Your Majesty to say something. If you don't want to
I won't go if you tell me. In any case, I am your Majesty's minister. I eat the rice given by the royal family. I still understand the principle of getting people's money and eliminating disasters. It is only at this sensitive time that I can take action according to your Majesty's orders.
Otherwise, the name is not justified.”
Shi Zhongxin became happy after saying this. He squeezed Yun Zheng's hand hard and said with a smile: "The fever is very serious. I will ask the old housekeeper to bring you a few pieces of Kunlun jade to relieve the fever later. Tsk, tsk,
Jade is smooth and delicate, and is more durable than a beautiful woman's skin. I originally planned to bribe Han Qi, but now it is cheaper for our own brothers."
Shi Zhongxin is like this, generous! He is a well-known old prodigal son in Tokyo. The problem is that this guy has been prodigal for decades. Not only has the wealth and status of the Shi family not decreased, but it has increased several times more than that of his father's generation. He cannot
Not to mention it's a miracle.
No one thought highly of Shi Zhongxin, but the emperor trusted Shi Zhongxin very much, so he had the right to secretly report. Among all the officials in the world, there were no more than twenty people with this right. From this, we can see that the royal family had great respect for Shi Zhongxin.
How trustworthy CITIC is.
There was a fire in Tokyo, and the officials in charge were Shi Zhongxin and his younger brother. The emperor was furious and planned to punish them severely, but in the end, the thunder was loud and the rain was light. The Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion turned into a Commander-in-Chief who praised the Japanese army. His identity
His status has not changed at all. If it weren't for the emperor's saliva on his head, he would have basically been promoted.
The emperor sitting in the banquet was very satisfied after reading Shi Zhongxin's secret report. He was lucky if the civil servants and military generals did not deal with him. However, no matter how domineering you are, once the emperor's order is given, it must be completed to the letter.
If you even resist the emperor's will, it is not a question of domineering, but a question of loyalty.
Therefore, he was not very disgusted with Yun Zheng's disregard of the Privy Council's order, but was rather secretly happy. This showed that until this moment, Yun Zheng still recognized the royal family and not anyone else.
The alliance with the Emperor of Liao was a political peak that Zhao Zhen specially designed for himself. Through this war, he clearly told the Emperor of Liao that he was not qualified to be superior in front of him. He also had the supreme imperial power. Only equal dialogue can
This is the way to solve the problem. We can't just drive the Song envoys back. I have to obey if they say the annual coins will be doubled.
In Zhao Zhen's view, through this tragic war, the Song Dynasty basically achieved its goal. It was very important to obtain the status of equal dialogue, and achieving this goal through war gave this equal dialogue an aggressive feel.
The meaning is in it.
He didn't care what he talked about with the Liao Emperor. What he cared about was the alliance itself with the Liao Emperor. It was necessary to abolish the Chanyuan Alliance, which was an alliance in name only. In the face of strength, any hypocritical performance would not stand the test.
Zhao Zhen was very confident in the strength of the Song Dynasty at this time.
There was such a big war at the border, but things were calm in the country. This year was a rare good year. The summer grain income reported by various state capitals made people happy. In war years, if the people do not increase taxes, it is the greatest indicator of whether an emperor is competent.
of praise.
Suddenly he felt the ground shaking outside. Before Zhao Zhen could ask questions, Zou Tong poked his head in and reported: "Your Majesty, the Western Jing Army has come to escort you! The person coming now is General Xiao Lin, the commander of the former army. General Xiao Lin
Born in the Boy Army, he is your Majesty's humerus minister."
The accompanying maid opened the curtain of the banquet, and Zhao Zhen looked out, only to see countless black-armored cavalry rushing down the gentle slope in the distance, and countless horse hooves hitting the ground with thunderous roars.
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "Haha, my wolf pack has arrived, where is the tiger?" (To be continued)
