Outside the city of Lin'an Prefecture, go out from the Qiantang Gate, bypass the Zhaoqing Temple on the edge of the city, and then walk along a short embankment, and you will come to an island in the middle of the lake. The island is a small hillside, and there is a pavilion called "Autumn Crane" on the top of the mountain, and this hillside is a lonely mountain.

It is now the height of summer, the lotus flowers on the West Lake are in full bloom, the guests who enjoy the flowers and visit the lake every day are endless, here is condescending, and there are pavilions for sheltering the heat, it is a good place for the literati to invite poetry to hold a cocktail party. Unfortunately, recently tourists suddenly found that starting from the outside of Zhaoqing Temple, the road to that side was blocked by the forbidden army sergeants wearing armor.

Liu Yu dismounted at the entrance, the front was too narrow to continue walking, in case the horse was startled, it would be ugly if it fell into the lake. He handed over the horse to the housekeeper and took two attendants, Shi Shiran, to set foot on the short causeway, as if he had come to swim in the lake.

It's not that he pretended to be relaxed, in this negotiation, the two chief officials of the Ministry of Rites did not call him from time to time, but only notified when and where it started, in this case, why should he bother himself, anyway, this kind of negotiation will not end lightly, and it should be a good show at the beginning.

Like the Su Causeway in the distance, willow trees were planted on this section of the embankment, and under each tree stood a sergeant, who bowed his head when he arrived in a new scarlet robe. In this way, they went up to the pavilion at the top of the mountain, and Chen and Wang were already sitting inside, arriving a little earlier than him.

"The big uncle and the young uncle are working hard."

Liu Yu looked at the courtyard while greeting, there is a pavilion in front of it, a courtyard wall encloses the entire mountaintop, and there is a corridor on both sides leading to the pavilion, which is indeed a good place for dinner and barbecue.

The middle of the courtyard was very empty, and there was a long chair, but there was no long table, which was not quite what he imagined, shouldn't he be-for-tat, staring at each other, and slapping the table in a hurry?

"Ziqing is here, just talking about you, I will start a peace discussion in a while, if there is any rudeness in the Yuanren, I hope Ziqing will focus on the overall situation, don't worry too much."

Chen Jingxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the envoy, seeing that he looked indifferent, he reminded him that Liu Yu said "um", and he didn't know if he understood or not, it is estimated that in the hearts of the two, he was a stunned young man, the problem is that Liu Yu really doesn't care, he is just looking at what the talks look like?

I have to say that his point was very accurate, and before he finished arguing with the two, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and the Yuanren's mission was only a few minutes later than him. The three of them ended chatting and faced the direction they came in, Liu Yu took a few steps back and stood with Wang Yinglin, who was also the deputy envoy.

"Lian Shangshu, I have worked hard all the way, I will introduce you to you, this is Wang Yinglin, the deputy envoy of the peace council of my court, and this is Liu Yu, the privy council."

"The two of you are fortunate to meet, Lian Mou will also introduce you, Chai Zizhi, the deputy envoy of Mou." Lian Xixian pointed to a middle-aged man beside him and said, Liu Yu looked at him coldly, and there was one deputy missing, which didn't seem to affect his self-confidence, at least not on his face.

After a simple opening, each side sat down according to the guest host, one sat on a row of chairs, and Liu Yu was a temporary replacement person, most of the grades were too low, and they were not introduced to them.

After sitting down, Chen Jingxing stood up first and read out the edict, Liu Yu and the others could only stand and listen, the Yuan people did not ask for it, but they also stood up, and the edict was the appointment of the three people, authorizing them to negotiate with the Yuan people on behalf of the imperial court.

Then it was the turn of the Yuan people, and Lian Xixian took out the will he brought, indicating that their group had also been authorized by the Yuan court. It was the first time for Liu Yu to participate in ancient foreign affairs activities, and he looked at this qiē with great curiosity, and he didn't know whether these procedures were agreed upon or agreed in advance.

The two sides verified their identities and sat down again, and the negotiations officially began, Liu Yu found that the Song people, as the guest of honor, did not mean to speak at this time, and seemed to be waiting for the other party to speak first.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this official has come to the capital of your country on the order of His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty to discuss the intention of ending the war between the two countries and forming an alliance forever. Unfortunately, it has backfired, and I have not been sitting here with you until now, and I have to say that your country's sincerity in the peace talks is doubtful. ”

"Lian Shangshu said this is wrong, since the beginning of the envoy's arrival in Lin'an Mansion, all the living expenses are set according to the guests, and the requirements of the envoy are also tried to meet. Why has this matter dragged on until now, the responsibility is not on our side, if Lian Shangshu wants to tear up the captivity, the official is not talented, and he is willing to accompany him. ”

Chen Jingxing stood up and retorted back, he had always dealt with this person the most, he knew the inside story well, word by word, and did not fall behind at all. Lian Xixian smiled and didn't continue, as if he was just a temptation just now,

"I don't want to dwell on the past, since we both have sincerity, we might as well be open and honest. Now that your country is still holding tens of thousands of people in custody of our country, and the two sides are now going to negotiate peace, can these people be released first, and we guarantee that the capture of your country will be the same. ”

"Lian Shangshu said very well, since it is a peace, it should show sincerity, you still occupy a large area of land in our dynasty, Jinghu, Xiangyang, Shuzhong, Haizhou, Andong Prefecture, why don't you return it to us first, and then talk about the good things of the alliance?"

Deputy envoy Wang Yinglin got up and said loudly, but Chen Jingxing sat down first and drank tea there by himself. Lian Xixian saw that it was him who answered, and also sat back in the chair, and Chai Zizhi on the opposite side stood up, looking like he was about to speak.

After this verbal argument, the two sides seemed to be incompatible, but in fact, they were testing the opponent's bottom line, Liu Yu only felt very exciting when he looked at it, which reminded him of the debate competition in college, but there was no referee present.

"Don't forget that this war is because you detained our envoys first, and the two countries should not have embarrassed the envoys when they exchanged troops, but your side braved the condemnation of the world and detained it for more than ten years. Flipping through the history books, only Su Wu of the Han Dynasty can be compared, and now he has returned to the capital and left for a long time, shouldn't this responsibility be borne by your country? ”

"Is there a misunderstanding in this matter, we have already apologized when we sent it back to Mr. Hao, and even the initiator was severely punished, but your country was unmoved, and it still marched into Jiangnan, what happened in the end?" Wang Yinglin did not completely deny his criticism in the face of his criticism.

"It's just a small setback, there are still millions of troops in our dynasty, and my Emperor Dayuan doesn't want the south of the Yangtze River to be ruined, so he hasn't increased his troops, otherwise he would have been a long time ago" Chai Zizhi looked stunned.

"This is what your country calls sincerity? If your lord is unwilling, what if you raise troops to fight? Under Jiankang City, our Liu Chengzhi has already seen it, you ask him if he is afraid. ”

Liu Yu, who was watching the battle from the sidelines, didn't expect it to be pulled on his body, he felt that a few eyes on the other side instantly focused on him, although he was a little dissatisfied, but people mentioned his glorious deeds, and he could only stand up and arch his hand.

"It turned out to be the young hero of the day, Lian said strangely that it looked familiar."

Lian Xixian is obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open, the two have met more than once, and the most recent one was not long ago. Liu Yu naturally didn't compare this truth, and sat back in the chair with a faint smile, he was here to be an audience and was not interested in acting.

The episode eased the tension of the previous tension a little, and both sides took advantage of it to return to their seats, picking up their tea and drinking it, their minds spinning in preparation for the next round.

In the city of Quanzhou, just outside the city, the Southern Foreign Division received the documents from the capital, and the next day, Pufu also received an envoy from the capital, who not only brought the latest court news, but also informed him that the assassination plan had begun to be implemented.

In the Pujia Courtyard, Pu Shougeng stood in front of the window with a long beard, this is the reason why he had to wait again and again, and under the painstaking investigation, he also used secret relations to get the general route of the Qiongzhou side to escort into Beijing, and a rebel army that invested heavily in this will become the main force.

However, after all, it is near Jingshi, less than a hundred miles away from Lin'an City, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no accidents, in case this road will not work? Then you can only make a heart, Pu Shi is extremely nostalgic for those decades of good days, the eldest brother has entered the official career through the imperial examination, and has now become the chief official of a state, and he has accumulated unimaginable wealth for the family, will this qiē become a dream of Nan Ke?

Counting the days, the moment the envoy returned to the city, there was already a result on the Jingshi's side, maybe the messenger who reported the victory was already on the way, he really hoped that his guess could come true, after all, no one really wanted to go that way.

"Lao Pu, it turns out that you are playing this idea, but I don't understand, even if you are in addition to that Sun, what about the Qiongzhou City Bosi? The court did not say to remove it. ”

Xia Jing's roaring voice rang out, and he paused when he said that name, this person has been a close confidant of the Pu family for many years, and now he wants to get rid of it with his own hands, he only doesn't know how uncomfortable it is in his heart, he still doesn't want to stimulate it.

"How can you not know that things always have to be done one by one, isn't that Zeng already dead? The head of the first division is gone, how can it be built again, besides, if something like this happens, see who dares to take over. ”

He knew that sooner or later he would have to walk on that road in the end, but he hoped that it would be delayed for a day, and when the Yuan people went south, he would have the certainty of victory.

"Gut-free rats!" Xia Jing couldn't see his kind of forward-looking look, if it weren't for this person holding the sea retreat, he would not be willing to cooperate with such a person, according to his temperament, in Quanzhou, Yuan people will definitely not let go of an opportunity, maybe they will go south early.

Of course, Pu Shougeng couldn't hear the curse behind him, he was thinking about whether to invite that Yuan person's spy to talk again, it was best to get a solid guarantee, not those unattainable lies. R1058
