Chapter 36 Communication
But in the past few days, the situation in Kaifeng Mansion has undergone earth-shattering changes. It turned out that the Nine Absolute Dharma King wanted to coerce Tong Guan to release people without expulsion, and he knew that he couldn't do it. The next day, he visited the ministers of the DPRK and China again and again and presented them with generous gifts. According to the number of courtesies, he entered the palace to see Zhao Ji, and gave him two posts of Chu Suiliang's authentic handwriting, and expressed his deep apologies for these several acts of transgression. Although Zhao Ji was worried about the affairs of Kaiyuan Temple, he was embarrassed. The Nine Absolute Dharma King took the opportunity to beg him to release Yelu Yanqi. Zhao Ji secretly thought that he was a big country of Great Song civilization and a state of etiquette and righteousness, although Yelu Yanqi had violated the Song Law, he was the little prince of Liao who sent an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty, and he couldn't deal with it too seriously. So he ordered the release of Yelu Yanqi.
The circumstances of this are naturally not clear to Mo Yonghu and others.
Song Xiaofu said: "Zhao Ji acquitted Ye Luyan Qi and ignored Song Law, does he want to form an alliance with the Liao State?" Mo Yonghu said: "According to the news obtained in the past two days, Zhao Ji is indecided, and the ministers of the DPRK and China also have different opinions, and the situation is difficult to explain. Song Xiaofu said: "The Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State are feuding, isn't this a good opportunity to destroy the Liao and take revenge?"
Mo Yonghu said: "The enmity between the Great Song Dynasty and Liao is all because of the sixteen states of Yanyun, as long as Yelu Yan Qiken agrees to return the sixteen states of Yanyun to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, no matter how big the feud is, it will be dissipated." ”
Song Xiaofu said: "If there is a son, there must be a father, Yelu Yanqi is a person who turns his face and does not recognize people, and Yelu Chun is not a good person when he thinks about it." Forming an alliance with them and defeating the Jin State, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are still in the hands of the Liao State, how can they easily hand them over at that time?"
Mo Yonghu said: "That's what the old man is worried about. ”
Song Xiaofu asked, "What does Tong Guan say?"
Nie Hao said: "Tong Guan, this dog official, is very slippery, he still wants to step on two boats." Mo Yonghu said: "Tong Guan is Zhao Ji's closest and most trusted minister, and the emperor has always been obedient to him, if he speaks, he will have weight." ”
Song Xiaofu smiled slightly and said, "Then the junior will go and give him some guidance." ”
Nie Hao said: "Shaoxia's idea is good. Mo Yonghu also nodded yes and said, "Then the old man will accompany the young man to Tong's Mansion." Nie Hao said: "Elder, just you go, okay?" Mo Yonghu said: "It's okay." Accompanied by Song Shaoxia, even if it is the tiger's den in Longtan, we can break through together, are you afraid that Tong Guan will not succeed?"
Chen Wanxia said, "Elder Mo, I want to go with you." Mo Yonghu said: "Miss Chen, don't worry, we are not going to embarrass Tong Guan, Song Shaoxia handed it over to the old man, but he is indispensable for a single hair." ”
Chen Wanxia's face turned red with embarrassment, and it took a long time before she said: "Then you, you have to be very careful." Saying that, Mo Yonghu and Song Xiaofu came out of the pharmacy, and Mo Yonghu suddenly asked, "Did Shaoxia make trouble with Huang Yatou?"
Song Xiaofu was stunned for a moment and said, "What? Well, no...... Yes. ”
Mo Yonghu glanced at him and said, "She went back to Yanmen yesterday." ”
Song Xiaofu was silent in his heart.
Mo Yonghu's voice was unclear, and he said: "This old man watched her grow up, a very cheerful child, and never knew sorrow. This time, she didn't wait for the old man to insist on going first, I knew that she didn't seem to be happy. Song Xiaofu felt a faint pain in his heart, and said: "Miss Huang saved my life several times, but I ...... It's just ......" Mo Yonghu sighed: "This, let her go." Hearing him answer like this, knowing that he guessed well, the two must have had an emotional entanglement, and said in his heart: "Song Xiaofu is a character, but it's a pity that he seems to be very close to Chen Wanxia, but I'm afraid that the girl is intentionally falling flowers, and the flowing water is ruthless." "I can't force half of the things that I know about feelings, so I can only put them aside for now.
The two turned the last street and arrived at Tong's Mansion. I happened to see two sedan chairs falling in front of the house, and the two people who got down from the sedan chair were Yelu Yanqi and the Nine Absolute Dharma King. I saw the two of them say a few words to the doorman, and the doorman hurriedly turned around and entered the door to report.
Song Xiaofu said: "Tong Guan has dealings with them. What should we do now?" Mo Yonghu said: "Wait and see what happens, and then make a decision." ”
After a while, the doorman came out and said a few words to the two, but he didn't let the two in, it seemed that Tong Guan was not in the house. The Nine Absolute Dharma King took out a letter and handed it to the doorman, and then left in a sedan chair with Yelu Yanqi.
The two waited for them to walk away before coming to the gate, and Song Xiaofu said: "Xiaomin Song Xiaofu asked to see the adult, and bothered the eldest brother to report it." The man knew Song Xiaofu, so he didn't say much and hurriedly went in, and soon came out and said, "My lord is invited." "Take the two of them to the hall.
Tong Guan's face was full of anger, and when he saw Song Xiaofu, he hurriedly changed his face.
Song Xiaofu said: "The adult looks good." Tong Guan said indifferently: "What's good, isn't it all the same?" Song Xiaofu said repeatedly: "That's, that's." Looking at him, his tone suddenly changed, and he said, "Just now, Xiaomin seemed to see Yelu Yanqi coming to visit. ”
Tong Guan's face changed unnaturally, his face was gloomy, and he said: "If you don't come to the door for nothing, what is the matter with you coming this time? The old man has given you enough face." ”
Song Xiaofu smiled faintly and said, "Xiaomin naturally understands that it is a great blessing for Xiaomin to be received by adults. In fact, Xiaomin took the liberty to visit this time, and he didn't have any requirements. I just want to hear what the adults think about this Song-Liao-Jin alliance, which is a major event related to the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
Tong Guan said: "What the official thinks has nothing to do with you, and it's not your turn to worry about this matter." ”
Mo Yonghu said: "The rise and fall of the country is the responsibility of the husband, and it is related to the thousands of people in the world. The grass people didn't have any brilliant ideas, but they still got their hands on it. Song Xiaofu followed: "Form an alliance with the country and pay attention to interests." What about Yelu Yanqi? What about his father? The adults naturally knew that there should be a bottom in their hearts. ”
Tong Guan's face was slightly gloomy, and he said unhappily: "The move of forming an alliance is related to the fortune of the country, how can this official be selfish? This matter has its own measure, you don't talk about it anymore." ”
Song Xiaofu said: "Don't worry, my lord, Xiaomin is definitely not a person with a long tongue, and some things that should not be said will never be said nonsense." Song Xiaofu told Tong Guan very obviously that he would not tell him about his dealings with Liao, so that he would have scruples in his heart. But just now, the Nine Absolute Dharma King also threatened him with this. Tong Guan thought that Song Xiaofu's words were also threatening him, so he suddenly became angry, and said coldly: "Do you still want you to teach you to do things?" waved his sleeves away.
It turned out that the Nine Absolute Dharma King and Song Xiaofu also wanted to lobby Tong Guan in the same mind. But Tong Guan avoided it, so the Nine Absolute Dharma King handed Tong Guan a letter from Tong Guan and Yeluchun to Tong Guan. His meaning is very obvious, if the alliance between the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State is successful, the secret dealings between Tong Guan and Yeluchun are understandable, and no one cares. If the Great Song Dynasty and Jin formed an alliance, wouldn't Tong Guan become a collaborator and thief? Tong Guan knew better than anyone else about the relationship, so although he hated Yelu Yanqi very much, he still didn't dare to make a decision lightly.
But Song Xiaofu obviously didn't think of this beforehand.
The two of them left Tong's mansion, and Mo Yonghu said: "We talked about this, what else did he care?" Song Xiaofu said: "Tong Guan didn't see Yelu Yanqi, which shows that he has no desire to form an alliance with the Liao State in his heart." When I mentioned the secret letter just now, he was furious, and looking at him, maybe Yelu Yanqi was also threatening him with this. It seems that our trip has been in vain. ”
Mo Yonghu smiled and said, "If that's the case, it's really enough for him to bear." If he answers us, the Nine Absolute Dharma King will not spare him, and if he answers the Nine Absolute Dharma King, he is worried that we will expose it. However, how can we make him less of these scruples?" Song Xiaofu sighed: "I'm afraid this is not an easy task. Mo Yonghu said: "This old guy also has this day, and the old man only hopes that he will not be co-opted by Yelu Yanqi now, so it is good to be a turtle with a shrunken head and not say a word." ”
Song Xiaofu said: "The younger generation thought that there was another person who might be able to influence the emperor's decision. ”
Mo Yonghu asked: "Who? Who in this Manchu Dynasty doesn't know that the emperor listens to Tong Guan's opinion the most." Who is it? Say it quickly, the old man can't think of anyone else who has this weight in front of the emperor. ”
Song Xiaofu said: "General Huang has the merit to protect the frontier ......"
Before he finished speaking, Mo Yonghu suddenly woke up and said, "Yes, what did the old man not expect? The general has been circling between Liao and Jin all his life, and the Manchu Dynasty has the most right to speak. The alliance should be the responsibility of the general. That's right, the old man immediately flew a pigeon to pass the book, and asked the general to give the court a copy. ”
The two returned to the pharmacy.
