Zhao Guangyi pondered for a long time, hesitating.

Xu Rui and Meng Chang glanced at each other, and both of them saw a look of affirmation in each other's eyes. They didn't come to see Zhao Guangyi until now, and they deliberately made him suffer a little in prison, just to wear off his sharpness.

People tend to do tough things when they are impulsive, but when they calm down, survival* will prevail. Not only according to the memories of the original owner in his previous life, but also according to the historical knowledge in the later life, Xu Rui knew that Zhao Guangyi was a careerist. Ambitious people will spare their lives, and they will not choose death easily.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, the battle of Song and Shu has passed for more than a month, and we have long sent your brother a letter of willingness to turn war into jade silk, as long as he is willing to stop attacking our Shu Kingdom, we are willing to send you back unscathed. It's a pity...... I don't know what your brother thinks, but there hasn't been any message yet. How to deal with you, we also have a headache! The emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty is not your own brother's?"

Xu Rui and Meng Chang both sighed, and the meaning in their tones was self-evident.

Zhao Guangyi's heart sank suddenly. Could it be that what he feared the most had happened? He secretly came to the battlefield between Song and Shu in order to establish immortal feats. In order to hide from the generals in the Northern Song Dynasty who held heavy troops and prevent them from being alert, he secretly came here, and few people knew about it except for his brother Zhao Kuangyin.

If he can succeed, it will be good. But now he was captured. In order not to fall into the reputation of the Zhao family and prevent their brother's plan to collect military power from being exposed to the world, his brother Zhao Kuangyin may sacrifice him, issue a document condemning him for not listening to the command and running around ignoring him, or not admitting that he is here at all. In this case, he will die in vain.

Besides, Zhao Guangyi is really not sure if his brother has noticed his ambition. His brother had children, but he was young. If he sensed that he had a desire to replace him, he might want to take the opportunity to sacrifice himself in order to pave the way for his own son.

Zhao Guangyi's face turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans rolled down his forehead.

Xu Rui saw him like this, and added another fire to him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, you have a hidden stake in our Shu country, in fact, our Shu country also has some people in your Northern Song Dynasty. Don't worry, we're just trying to get some news. Our people sent back the news that your brother had spread the news that you had traveled abroad and could not appear in Shu. What do you mean by that?"

This is Xu Rui's nonsense. Then he saw that Zhao Guangyi's face was even paler.

Zhao Guangyi is really scared in his heart now. For a long time, Zhao Kuangyin, as the eldest brother, although he doted on him very much, but that was mainly because of his mother. In the face of interests, how important is the ability of feelings? If he was really affectionate and sexual, how could he replace the Later Zhou Dynasty and establish the Northern Song Dynasty?

Besides, his mother didn't know that he came to Shu this time. If he really died here, Zhao Kuangyin could find a reason to appease their mother, didn't he die in vain?

Thinking of this, Zhao Guangyi looked at Meng Chang with a smile in his eyes and said, "Of course I am a friend of Shu Kingdom." ”

Meng Chang and Xu Rui looked at each other and smiled when they heard this.

Since Zhao Guangyi has made it clear that he is a friend of Shu, then he is naturally the guest of Shu. Meng Chang arranged him in a side hall, except for his personal freedom and restrictions, he ate and drank with the best things, which was many times different from the treatment he had been locked up in the prison before.

The question now is how to make good use of Zhao Guangyi's chess piece.

Xu Rui and Meng Chang discussed countless times, and both of them felt that the Northern Song Dynasty's destruction of Shu was the trend of the times, and even if they could delay this time for a few years, they would not be able to change the final outcome. The world has been in turmoil for a long time, and the people are eager for unity and stability. The Northern Song Dynasty was huge, and Zhao Kuangyin was a Ming monarch who could use soldiers and people. Even if Shu won the war this time, if the Northern Song Dynasty attacked a few more times, it would be a matter of time before Shu would not be able to hold on.

Since the two countries are going to become a country sooner or later, how to become a country has become a key issue.

Xu Rui and Meng Chang discussed and discussed, and finally felt that instead of defeating and suing for peace in the future, it was better to take advantage of this great victory and take the initiative to seek peace. In this way, we can get the most favorable conditions from the Northern Song court.

"Your Majesty, have you really decided to take the initiative to make peace with the Northern Song Dynasty?" Xu Rui asked worriedly. Even if you know that this is the best way to avoid war, what an easy decision it is to make a king give up his position and be subservient to others from now on!

"Well, if this is the best way for the people of Shu Kingdom, I am willing to choose this way!" Meng Chang had a look of determination on his face. I don't know if his father will scold him a hundred years later, when he goes underground. But judging by the current situation, he does not regret making this decision.

In fact, he knows that his most suitable role is not to be the emperor, although after his father's careful teaching, he has done well over the years, but he really prefers a life of poetry and wine rather than managing the world's mundane affairs. That's right, those supreme powers, in his eyes, are to deal with mundane things.

After listening to Meng Chang's decision, Concubine Li was silent for a long time. She went to the royal ancestral shrine to burn incense for three days, and when she came out, she looked resolute.

"Son, do what you think in your heart! Your father also wants to keep the stability of this place before he becomes emperor. Since the world is irreversible, do what you think is right! He won't blame you!"

"Son Xie Mother's understanding!" Meng Chang's heart was moved beyond words, and he only said this sentence. He thought that he would be scolded by his mother, and he was ready to do the work of Concubine Li repeatedly. I didn't expect Concubine Li to be so reasonable, smart and wise.

Xu Rui gently held Concubine Li's hand and sent her back to the palace. In the previous life, Concubine Li died of hunger strike after her son's death. Now, Xu Rui just wants this respectable old man to spend his old age in peace.

Since the original owner entered the palace, she has always loved the original owner. Although there are inevitably some small twists and turns in the middle, the other party really has a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship with the original owner. Although she had some power needs, she was never lost in them. is fundamentally different from Li Hao's kind of person.

In the side hall where Zhao Guangyi lived, papers were thrown all over the ground. Zhao Guangyi was still holding a wolf pen in his hand, lying on the case and writing something. After writing a few sentences, as if he felt inappropriate, he threw the piece of paper rudely to the ground and continued to write one.

He was upset, and at last he threw the wolf pen away, and very unfiguratively took a gilded wine jug next to him, and poured wine into his mouth.

Although he knew that the letter he wrote would definitely be read by Meng Chang before he could send it out, Zhao Guangyi still couldn't restrain the anxiety in his heart. Li Hao died, and he was placed under house arrest and heavily "protected". No one can help him, and he can only act through Meng Chang. But he didn't know what he had to do now. The continuous silence on Zhao Kuangyin's side made Zhao Guangyi completely panicked.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Your Majesty invites you to go to the imperial study to discuss matters. An old eunuch pushed open the door of the hall and saw the paper all over the ground, the expression on his face did not change at all, and his voice sounded like an ancient well.

"Okay!" After a moment of apprehension, Zhao Guangyi followed the old eunuch out. Two other internal supervisors came out to collect the papers, sorted out the contents of the papers, and quietly sent them to Meng Chang's desk.

"His Royal Highness the King of Jin, your brother, the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty informed us that the King of Jin we captured was fake, just a person who looked more like you. Let's feel free to dispose of it. Xu Rui put on her "ugly makeup" again and helped Meng Chang negotiate with Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi was startled, the celadon teacup in his hand fell to the ground, broken into countless pieces, and the composure he had just pretended to be was gone. Zhao Guangyi was hated and angry in his heart.

Although if it were to change positions, he would not hesitate to do so. But there is a kind of person who just can't accept others to abandon him, but he himself can leave others without any psychological burden. Zhao Guangyi is this kind of person.

But Zhao Guangyi doesn't have time to hate Zhao Kuangyin now. He looked at Meng Chang, who was sitting with his hands, and then at Mrs. Hua Rui, who was looking at him with a smile on her face. They seem to have come to an agreement with their big brother. If that's the case, then you're useless yourself. They will kill themselves at any time. No, you have to find a way to make them feel useful. You can't just die.

Zhao Guangyi's brain spun rapidly.

Xu Rui looked at Zhao Guangyi's flustered eyes and knew that she had achieved the goal of disturbing the other party's mind. Only in this way can we take advantage of the following negotiations.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, Your Majesty asked you to come today to give you a great achievement. A great achievement that will make you famous in history. ”

"What great achievement?" Zhao Guangyi hadn't recovered from the blow just now.

"We, the Shu Kingdom, are willing to submerge the whole country into the Northern Song Dynasty. You say, is this a great achievement?" Xu Rui threw out this sentence with a smile.

"You ...... It's really ......" Zhao Guangyi couldn't believe his ears. How could such a good thing happen to him? He looked at Meng Chang who was sitting on top with disbelief.

Meng Chang nodded affirmatively.

"What I just said is true. This is the national letter of our Shu Kingdom. You can always take it back with you. Xu Rui said, and spread out a national letter made of golden brocade on the desk in front of Zhao Guangyi, stamped with the red seal of the Shu Kingdom.

"This ...... This ......" Zhao Guangyi held the letter in front of him, his hands trembled, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, you can see clearly. For the livelihood of the world, our Majesty is willing to include Shu into the Song State and become the Shu State of the Song State in the future. Our Majesty is so righteous, but he is not afraid of you, and you must not interfere in the government affairs of Shudi. If the Northern Song Dynasty court does not fail us, we will slowly reduce the number of soldiers until we retain 200,000 people. Of course, we will definitely not pay less in taxes. ”

Xu Rui pointed to the contents of the national letter and preached to Zhao Guangyi. However, under the great joy and sorrow, where did Zhao Guangyi still have the mood to care about any specific contents? When he heard that Meng Chang was willing to turn Shu into Shuzhou, his eyes already lit up. He said "yes!"

Xu Rui and Meng Chang looked at each other tacitly, and then said to Zhao Guangyi: "If His Royal Highness the King of Jin thinks that there is no problem, then sign and draw here on behalf of the Northern Song Dynasty! This national letter has been made in two copies, although you are not the emperor of the Song Kingdom, but you are the Jin King of the Northern Song Dynasty, and the younger brother of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, you can sign and draw on it now, and then bring these two copies back to the Song Imperial Court, cover your Majesty's jade seal, and then send it back to us, and then send us a copy, it's okay." ”

"Okay, okay! I'll sign it. Zhao Guangyi was afraid that Meng Chang would regret it, so he quickly took the pen handed over by the maid next to him, signed his name, and then pressed the red handprint. Then he looked at his name on the two national letters and smirked.

This is his own meritorious service to the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the proof that he will be famous for centuries in the future. If this is done, no one will be able to erase their merits. At the same time, he also has an unshakable position in the Great Song Dynasty. 166 Reading Network
