Chapter 41: The Alliance Under the City

In the Northern Song Dynasty Palace and Daqing Hall, Emperor Qinzong met with civil and military officials with the envoys of the Jin Kingdom.

The envoy of the Jin Kingdom who visited the Song Kingdom this time was a civil servant under the tent of the Liao King of Jin Kingdom. He was named Wanyan Baoliang. He was originally a arrogant envoy to the Song Dynasty, but he did not expect that he would be humiliated by Liu Yixuan as soon as he entered the city gate. At this moment, he had long lost his arrogance and was respectful to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Wanyan Baoliang bowed to Qinzong and replied: "The envoy of the Jin Kingdom meets His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"

Song Qinzong sat upright and asked him to quit his respect and calmly, and asked, "Envoyee of the Jin Kingdom, what's the matter with me in the Song Dynasty?"

"I am on the order of the Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom and I will send you a letter of nationality, please read it with Your Majesty!"

Qinzong signaled to the eunuchs beside him and presented the letter of Jin State. Eunuch Zhang took the letter of the country from the envoy and carefully presented it to Qinzong Yulan.

Qinzong opened the letter of the country and looked like a dim look after it. The emperor, who was born with weak men, was actually intimidated by a letter of nationality. He told Eunuch Zhang that he would pass the letter to the civil and military ministers to see it and let them have an idea.

Eunuch Zhang first passed the letter of state to several ministers in the Secretariat to see. Liu Anguo took the letter of state and quickly browsed it. The content is as follows:

His Majesty Zhao Huan, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty: Our Jin cavalry has surrounded Bianjing, and the city of Bianjing is about to be broken. I am unwilling to cut off your Zhao family's ancestors. As long as I agree to the following conditions, I will issue an order to withdraw my troops and never invade. If I do not agree, I will send another 100,000 elite troops to capture you, your father and son alive!

one,

The gold, silver and cloth tributes paid by the State of Song every year must not be reduced, must not be stopped, and must not be delayed.

two,

The State of Song permanently ceded the five counties of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, Hejian, Yanjing and Bingzhou to Dajin, and sent orders to the officials and people of the above five counties to give up all resistance and surrender with peace of mind.

three,

The Song Dynasty court handed over the geographical maps of the five counties to the Dajin Dynasty, and would surrender every year in the future and not violate the agreement between the two countries.

After seeing this, Liu Anguo couldn't help but be angry and shouted to the Jin envoy: "Your king is too bullying people. You have robbed my city and killed my compatriots over the years. Now you want us to cede land and pay compensation again. It's simply outrageous!" Then he replied to Qinzong: "Master, you must never agree to the Jin Dynasty's conditions!"

Qin Zong was already discouraged and said helplessly: "Prime Minister Liu, don't get angry. I'll call all the ministers to come today to discuss this matter and hear what other ministers have to do."

Liu Anguo had no choice but to retreat to the side. The letter of state was quickly passed from the Secretariat to the Privy Council, and then to the Secretariat and the Censorate. For a moment, the government and the public were shocked and there were many discussions in the main hall.

Li Gang, Minister of War, remarked: "The Lord, you must never agree to such a treaty that is powerless and humiliating! Although the Jin soldiers besieged Bianjing for several days, they had never had a single soldier. The old ministers and the soldiers guarding the city swear to defend Your Majesty to the death and prevent the Jin people from coming in at least a step!"

The "peacekeeping faction" led by the Grand Tutor Zhu Fan had long been scared by the Jin soldiers. Today, when he heard that as long as he agreed to the Jin people's conditions, the Jin soldiers could withdraw, so he naturally tried his best to advocate peacekeeping.

Grandmaster Zhu asked Li Gang: "Mr. Li is indeed loyal and brave, but can you guarantee that Bianliang will not be captured by the Jin soldiers? If the Jin soldiers reinforcements arrive, who can guarantee that the capital will be foolproof? Now that the Jin soldiers propose peace talks, it is a great opportunity. Lord Li must also think about the safety of the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Emperor!"

Li Gang shouted to Zhu Fan: "You wait for the rats, but you only know how to compromise. The Jin people have always been insatiable. They will sever five cities today and ten cities tomorrow. When I have no cities in the Song Dynasty to stolen, how can I protect them?"

"You..." Master Zhu was speechless and didn't know how to reply. The ministers continued to quarrel, and it was difficult to draw a conclusion for a while. Qinzong had no choice but to order the Jin envoys to return to the inn to rest, and then give a reply until the conclusion was reached.

Liu Yixuan and Wang Zichun were still waiting for the order outside the hall. They heard the constant quarrels in the hall, and they didn't know what was going on, so they had to find a clean place to sit down and rest.

"Brother, what do you think the Jin people want to do this time? Why did you send someone to send someone to send a letter of nationality at this time?" Liu Yixuan and Wang Zichun started chatting.

"I don't know. The Jin soldiers cannot capture Bianliang for a long time. I guess they will stop the troops and return the court. I will send someone here now, so I must want to make a profit before leaving!"

"Brothers are right. These Jin soldiers are indeed treacherous and slippery. Alas, the Song Dynasty has been exhausted. No matter how winning or losing, they will have to pay for it. It's so fucking cowardly. No, we can't let the Jin people's treacherous plan succeed. We have to go into the palace to face the king and explain it to the emperor!" As he said that, he stood up and walked into the hall.

Prince Chun hurriedly stopped him and said, "Brother, don't be impulsive. You and me are of the same level as you and me, and you will not be able to enter the palace to face the king. If you disturb the Holy Lord, you will be beheaded!"

"What should I do? Can't you watch the emperor fall into the trap of the Jin people?" Liu Yixuan was unwilling to accept it and did not want to see the Northern Song Dynasty demise.

"Brother, don't worry. We don't know what the Jin people are doing. Besides, Lord Lingzun is also in the hall. He will definitely dissuade the priest. If he can't persuade the priest, then we will be even more powerless!" Wang Zichun said.

After hearing this, Liu Yixuan had to give up. After all, his power was small, so it was not easy to block the wheel of history with his own strength.

While he was talking, he saw Eunuch Zhang coming out and following the Jin envoy. Eunuch Zhang said, "The emperor has an order to ask the Jin envoys to rest in the inn. I will bother you, the two young masters, to take him to the inn!"

Liu Yixuan quickly received the order, ran to Eunuch Zhang and asked him: "Eunuch Zhang, what happened in this hall? Why are you messing around?"

Eunuch Zhang whispered: "Oh, Mr. Liu, you don't know. Several ministers in the court disagree and argued and quarreled. Both Master Zhu and Lord Li started fighting!"

"What? So powerful!" Liu Yixuan seemed surprised, curiously wanted to go in and see the fun, and asked again: "Has my father started fighting with someone?"

"The Liu Prime Minister has always had the style of a Confucian scholar. How could he fight with others? Now he is trying to persuade the emperor not to agree to the conditions of the Jin people!" Eunuch Zhang said softly, and Liu Yixuan got goosebumps when he heard it.

"Oh, that's it, that's good. I'm afraid that he will fight with others and suffer any losses. I have to help him!" Liu Yixuan said.

"How could it be? The ministers in the court have disagreements and noisy is common. Don't worry, you should send the Jin envoy to the inn first!" Eunuch Zhang instructed.

"Okay, thank you for your help. See you again!" Liu Yixuan and this father-in-law Zhang were kind enough, and then took the envoy away from the Danei and headed to the inn.

This inn is not far from the palace, and when you leave the Zhuque Gate, opposite the Kaifeng Prefecture Office, Liu Yixuan came to the inn and hurriedly found the inn to manage the office. The inn was surnamed Liu, the brother-in-law of the Kaifeng Prefecture Prefecture Li Yong. He looked traitorous and had a cunning look.

Liu Yixuan said: "This is the Jin Dynasty envoy. If you want to live with you, you must take good care of it!"

Manager Liu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "I know, I know, this messenger villain knows me. I have come to live here several times, and they are all acquaintances!"

When Liu Yixuan heard this, he felt it was fresh and immediately smiled and said, "Is that so? You guys are fine, you are all familiar with the Jin people! That's fine, this envoy is our 'distinguished guest', and I have to leave a few brothers to take good care of him!" He hurriedly turned around and shouted, "Little Liuzi, come here!"

When Xiaoliu heard the call, he hurriedly ran in and asked, "Young Master Liu, what's the matter with me?"

"Nothing big is happening. This Jin envoy wants to stay in this inn for a few days. I will keep you brothers here and accompany you. You are not allowed to leave him for a long time, nor are you allowed to meet him. And this lord in charge, please keep a good eye on me, and you will hear it if you hear it!"

Liu Yixuan glanced at the manager with his eyes slanted, thinking that he was definitely not a good thing. When he searched the Jin envoy in the morning, he knew that officials and Jin people from the court had gone privately. Manager Liu must have been bribed, so he arranged for someone to take care of him and prevent others from getting close.

Liu Yixuan smiled at Manager Liu again and said, "This Jin envoy is my distinguished guest of the Song Dynasty. Do you know?"

Manager Liu hurriedly smiled and said, "Sir, please rest assured. The villain must have 'she served three meals a day, with chicken, duck, fish and meat constantly'! It is guaranteed to satisfy you!"

"Fuck! Who told you to serve three meals a day, with chicken, duck, fish and meat?! Just give him one meal a day, just serve some pickles and steamed buns!" Liu Yixuan said sternly.

"Ah?" Manager Liu grinned, not knowing what he meant.

"This... this, the villain dares not!"

"What are you afraid of? These dog thieves rob us of things and kill us, and you still have good food and drink to offer him? Look at your cowardly!" Liu Yixuan taught him a lesson.

"This... even though this is said, the shop also has to go to the Privy Council to collect the monthly expenses. If the villain is not allowed to treat him well, I am afraid that my accounts will not match for the moment! Sir, you also know that the villain only relies on these envoys and officials who come to Beijing to make some small money. Wouldn't it be a pity for me to treat him like this?" Manager Liu smiled and begged him in a slight voice.

Liu Yixuan smiled and said, "Don't you worry about this. I have already thought about it for you. Haven't you seen it? Didn't my brothers stay here for you? You will give them all the chickens, ducks, fish and meat in the future!"

When Xiao Liuzi and a few soldiers heard this, they cheered and hurried over to thank him. "That's so thankful to Mr.!"

Liu Yixuan said to them: "Brothers, don't be polite. You just need to eat whatever you want. You follow me and can't treat you badly!"

Several of the soldiers under him were very happy and were determined to follow him.

Liu Yixuan instructed again: "If you eat, don't drink and make trouble. You must take good care of this Jin envoy. If there is any situation, report it to me in time!"

A group of soldiers were naturally happy after leading the Meicai, so they quickly agreed. Wanyan Baoliang heard this from the side and hated her teeth. He didn't know what kind of life he had committed, but he met such an enemy. He could only swallow his anger and stayed honestly in this inn.

After Liu Yixuan arranged the errand, he wanted to go back to the mansion. It was getting late at this time, so Liu Yixuan invited Wang Zichun to the mansion for dinner. Wang Zichun wanted to return to the barracks to report, so he said goodbye to Liu Yixuan.

Liu Yixuan entered the mansion and asked a few servants who were guarding the door: "Have you returned to the mansion?"

The servant said, "Report to the young master, since he went out to court in the morning, he has not come back yet! The old lady asked someone to come over to ask the young man just now, so she must be anxious!"

After hearing this, Liu Yixuan hurried to her mother's room to pay tribute. Mrs. Fan said, "You two men will not enter the house this day, and you will not send a message. Do you know how worried you are for your mother?"

Liu Yixuan quickly smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, am I back now!"

When Mrs. Fan saw her son coming back, she felt a stone in her heart. Now that she is in chaos, her son insists on going to the military camp to fight, how could she not worry?

"You kid is really 'a big boy'. I'm fine. I have to join the army and fight. How could you be a joke?"

"Mom, look at you saying this again, Daddy doesn't object to me abandoning my pen and joining the army. Why do you always disagree?"

"Don't mention your father. He has been in court for the whole day. He hasn't come back yet. I don't know what their monarch and ministers are busy with!" Mrs. Fan complained, but she was still worried about her husband in her heart.

Liu Yixuan comforted her while accompanying her mother to relieve her boredom.

"Mom, don't worry. Now that you are fighting, there must be something urgent. Today, an envoy from the Jin Kingdom is here. I guess the emperor is discussing countermeasures with the ministers!"

The mother and son were chatting, but saw the butler Liu Fu walking in.

"Go back to the wife, the master is back and is resting in the study! He also said... He also said that he wanted the young master to go to the study to see him."

After hearing this, the mother and the other one were very puzzled. Why did the master come to the back room? Mrs. Fan quickly asked Liu Yixuan: "Xuan'er, have you caused some trouble again?"

"I...I don't have it, I've always been very obedient!" Liu Yixuan also began to worry, afraid that Liu Anguo would do his homework for him again, so he shook his head and said, "I won't go!"

Butler Liu said again: "The master asked the young master to come over and said that there was something important to discuss, but he was not angry. Please come over quickly!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Fan felt relieved. She quickly breathed a sigh of relief and asked Liu Yixuan to see his father. It was precisely: I worked hard to be a son and I felt sorry for my parents in the world! What happened to Liu Anguo call him son? Looking forward to the following text!
