Of course, the crown prince didn't know why, he actually believed Luo Guifei's judgment about Yan Chi having to fight for it recently, precisely because Yan Chi dared to directly question Feng Lai, who was once trusted by the emperor, and what was even more strange was that Feng Lai was actually snubbed by the emperor because of this!

You must know that Yan Chi said in front of the emperor that Feng Lai was a swaggering scum, no different from those gods who defrauded women and children of money, wouldn't this mean that the dignified son of heaven was also regarded as an ignorant woman and child? How do you know that instead of being furious, the Son of Heaven actually accepted Yan Chi's words, and no longer believed that Feng's mother and son had the nonsense of Gui Zuozhi, although he had not yet dealt with Feng Lai, but he had refused to summon him again.

At this time, the prince said sincerely and convincingly listened to Luo Guifei's narration: "Yan said that it is not important whether Zhao Qingqu has rebelled or not, the important thing is that the society and the country can avoid a catastrophe, because the main battle is not in line with the current fortune, although Zhao Qingqu only admonishes the main battle, but those generals of the dynasty will not back down because of Zhao Qingqu's advice, Yan Wureason said that although he inherits Zhao Qingqu's kindness, but he is first of all David's courtier, loyalty is heavier than personal favor at any time, the only thing he can do for Zhao Qingqu is to treat Zhao Ying well, so that although she is an official slave, but not a slave and servant, Yan said for no reason that he could understand the intentions of the officials who must use thunderous means to deter the generals...... is the only one who has the ability to make Eju give up the main battle. ”

When Concubine Luo Guifei mentioned Eju, she was inevitably resentful: "I was careless and negligent, you were able to listen to the lobbying of the doorman to intercede for Eju, and almost fell for the trick of Sima's mother and son!" Fortunately, the official family itself dispelled the idea of killing Eju, and Eju was really persuaded by Yan for no reason, even so, of course, the official family does not need to cut off his arm, the official family has changed their view of Eju, Dalang, you can be blessed by misfortune. ”

The prince's face turned red and he snorted, "My son is indeed ...... I feel that it will be more advantageous to encircle the military in such a chaotic situation. ”

"Then it has to be a military general who is willing to seek a position with you and usurp power, will Eju behave with you such a disloyal and unfilial thing? Do you really think that Eju is the same as those civil officials questioned, the main battle is to fight for merit and power? No, Eju really has the ambition of recovering the lost land, he is loyal to the country! Luo Guifei sneered: "But whether Ejuzhong is a loyal monarch or not, it doesn't matter to us at all, what matters is your father's likes and dislikes for you, and when you sit on the dragon chair, then think about whether to guard this half of the country, or to destroy the Liao State and recover the lost land." ”

The prince is already looking forward to the future: "The son is actually following his father's political opinions, unlike Yi Xu, who was originally belligerent and reckless, and pretended to be the master in order to please his father." ”

"If you want me to say that as long as the Liao people are willing to take a truce, there is no need to recover Kaifeng, although Kaifeng is prosperous, but Jiangnan has not lost wealth, and compared to the cold of Kaifeng in winter, I also prefer the climate of Lin'an Mansion, that is, snow, not as cold as that, the winter here is short, the climate in spring and autumn is especially pleasant, that is, the summer and summer are relatively long, and the house will not feel the heat unbearable if you put a few more pots of ice." Luo Guifei couldn't help but look forward to the future.

She hopes that the Liao people will send envoys to negotiate peace again this time, everything will go smoothly, the two countries will no longer fight, the dynasty will no longer need to spend so much military money, and the life in the palace will be more comfortable, she can spend a lot of effort in order to consolidate her son's storage position, but now she can only rely on ordinary bird's nest ginseng tonic, in the past, the concubines could not look down on these supplements, only the top bird's nest ginseng can be supplied to the inner court.

And the king of a country finally summoned Yan Chi at this time.

He was at a loss: "Today's summoning of unprovoked entry into the palace is really because the negotiations with the Liao envoy are not so smooth, and I hope that I can do divination for no reason and choose someone who is suitable for negotiation with the Liao envoy." ”

"The minister has already made a fortune in his private house, and this time the peace talks will indeed be hindered." Yan Chi said first: "The hexagram refers to Xiangyang, it should be that the Liao envoy still insists on letting me sacrifice the six counties of Xiangyang, right?" ”

The corners of Tianzi's slender eyes were barely rounded out of surprise, and he clapped his hands and said, "What is unprovoked is a good hexagram." ”

Where is this still used for divination? But Yan Chi naturally didn't tell the truth, and listened to the emperor's nagging calmly: "Originally, the Liao State promised to pardon the orphans of the first brother, but now it repents again...... "Naturally, you want to repent, if you don't regret the official family, will you still negotiate peace with the Liao envoy?" The Liao people can not recognize Emperor Wei, Prince Wei, and Taisun Wei, but can you disown your father and brother in the official family? The first prince is the prince chosen by the first emperor, although he died, his eldest son Yili should be canonized as the grandson, and he is the legal heir of this half of the country.

"The Liao State only promised to return the Zigong of the first monarch and the first prince, as well as the Wanyi Emperor, and they not only coveted the six counties of Xiangyang, but even asked me to donate 300,000 silver silk every year, which is a coin! How does this make me agree? Wouldn't this become a matter of respecting the Liao State and recognizing our dynasty as inferior? I proposed to accept it instead of offering, but I was rejected by the Liao envoy! And yes, the Liao Kingdom actually proposed to make peace, and specified that Princess Roushu would marry Liao Jun far away! Rou Shu is the princess from the middle palace, this year is the cardamom year, but Liao Jun is already over sixty years old! Liao Jun has a main room, how can my David's princess be a concubine? ”

Yan Chi understood, it is impossible to cede the six counties of Xiangyang, after all, what the official family wants is to favor Jiangnan, not to give up all the rivers and mountains in the world, if the six counties of Xiangyang are lost, David does not have to imagine that he can still resist the Liao State and capture Jiangnan. It is impossible to make Princess Roushu and her relatives, after all, the official family is David's son of heaven, although now the golden ou is incomplete, but later historians comment that it is impossible to say that it is the fault of the current son of heaven, it can only be attributed to the fault of the first emperor, but if the official family gives his own daughter to Liao Jun as a concubine, wouldn't he respect Liao Jun? is such a cowardly nest, there will be infamy in the history books, and the official family still needs to be faced. In the same way, 30,000 silver silk Chinese New Year's Eve is not impossible to give to the Liao State, but it cannot be praised, because if it is a coin, it is the weak to bow to the strong.

So why can the official family accept the annual payment? Because you can chew the words, although there is also a "tribute" for small things, but there is also an equal "Na coin", if you want to quibble, there is even a strong meaning - concubine.

In short, the official family can be weak, but they cannot admit to being weak, let alone let the ministers and the common people think that David's official family is serving weakness to the king of Liao.

Since Yan Chi has figured out the mentality of the Son of Heaven, he is very handy in dealing with it: "Liao Jun was rejected for peace talks last time, and he actually sent an envoy to defend again, which shows that just like the divination of the minister's last time, the Liao State is not as smooth as they preach, and the country is rich and strong in general, and they failed to win the battle of Huazhou, but in fact, they have already hurt their vitality, so the official family thinks about it, why is the tone of the Liao envoy tougher this time than the last time?" ”

"I asked Qin Xiang, and according to Qin Xiang, the Liao envoy is a strong foreign and a bluff."

Yan Chi bowed his head: "Qin Xiang is really old and spicy, and his words penetrate the inside story, Liao Jun is nothing more than trying to force me to obey the weak, so as to boost the hearts of the Liao people and the people, Liao Jun expected that the official family would not agree to cede the six counties of Xiangyang, if the Liao envoy retreated this step, the last two agreements would be more likely to be reached." ”

"In other words, from an unwarranted point of view, there is no need to worry about the six counties of Xiangyang at all?"

"The official family is sage." Yan Chi is in front of the Son of Heaven, naturally he will not be too frivolous, and the sycophants that should be filmed still have to be filmed: "As for the matter of harmony, the minister also has a way to persuade Liao Jun to give up, even if it is a harmony, no matter whether Liao Jun has married the main family, he has to serve the official family as the elder of Mount Tai, so although my dynasty will marry the silver silk, how can the Venerable pay the humble and young people every year?" This is not in line with the courtesy, in the affection, if the Liao monarch wants to insist on harmony, then he must give up the year, and should also pay tribute to our court, if the Liao monarch wants to show sincerity, he should return the territory that invaded our dynasty. ”

The Son of Heaven almost didn't choke on his own spittle, and felt that Yan Chi really dared to say big things, but after thinking about it carefully, such a truth can indeed be argued with Liao Jun, of course Liao Jun will not agree, so what is the mention of harmony?

"There is only one piece left to donate coins and annuals, and the Liao envoy will naturally not let it again, because an envoy has no right to decide to make concessions in the last two at all, he can't decide, so why should the official family talk to him again? The official family could also appoint envoys to go to Shangjing to negotiate with the Liao monarch. Yan Chi was confident.

"Unprovoked?"

"Ministers should share the worries of the monarchy, but ministers are not weighty enough to take on such heavy responsibilities."

The Son of Heaven thought about it, and it seemed indeed inappropriate to send Yan Chi as an envoy, so he said, "So you still have to ask for unwarranted divination." ”

"Regarding the selection of envoys, there is no need to use divination, if the official family can trust the minister, the minister can recommend one."

"Who does Yan Qing want to recommend?"

"Doctor Xintanzhi of the central defender."

"Why did you recommend this person?"

"First of all, Dr. Xin is a Confucian general, a Jinshi and the first, knowing the law of etiquette, and Dr. Xin is the envoy of the court."

The Son of Heaven bowed his head, and he also knew the current situation in the court, the civil ministers and the military attachés were competing for power, of course, this was what he was happy to see, using the civil ministers to contain the military attachés, and his throne could be stabilized. Although Xin Tanzhi holds a military position, he is a child of a family, and the Xin family also has a certain status in Shilin.

"Again, two years ago, Dr. Xin led the army to fight against the Liao soldiers, and gave the Liao soldiers a heavy blow, if the official family sent Dr. Xin as an envoy, it would have a sense of deterrence for the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State, as if it was a strong declaration, our dynasty does not necessarily have to make peace with the Liao State, if the Liao Jun does not show sincerity, then our dynasty will start a war, but the official family can rest assured, the Liao Jun has taken the initiative to show goodwill this time, and there must be no willingness to declare war, and the official family shows a strong example, the Liao lord is more weak-hearted, the weak heart is weak, the weak spirit is timid, the Liao lord is timid, and the Liao lord is timid, David will have the upper hand."

The Son of Heaven is like an initiation, but he still does not forget to advise: "For no reason, you should still be lucky first, and you need to know that the plan is in the people, but the success is in the sky." ”

When he was still King Kang, he never thought that one day he would be able to reach the Ninth Five-Year Plan, but there was such a master, although he was not a Taoist sect just like an idle cloud and a wild crane, he dared to assert that he was an indescribable luck, just waiting for the bad news in Kyoto, he would spread his wings like a big peng and go straight to the ninth night.

He was skeptical at first.

But the subsequent state of affairs confirmed that the master had a decisive decision!!

It's a pity that when he was supported as a king by Zhao Qingqu and others, the master didn't know where to go.

The master is recommended by Zhao Qingqu, and he is also Yan Wutu's teacher.

This is the fundamental reason why he replaces his unwarranted faith in Yan.
