519. Two conditions
This kind of thought came out, which made Pu Shougeng's heart more determined to vote for Song. Of course, the premise is that Song and Yuan can reach a peace.
As a result, he hoped even more fervently that the peace negotiations could be reached.
Drinking the wine in the cup with his neck up, Pu Shougeng said to Zhao Dongting: "Dare to ask the emperor, how do you need me to go to the emperor?" ”
Zhao Dongting chuckled again, as if the unpleasantness just now had not happened at all, and said, "I have already sent envoys to Dadu before, and your emperor should know what I want." And in addition to this condition, I don't want to marry your pearl princess of the Yuan Dynasty. As long as we can reach a consensus on these two points, it is not impossible for me to take a five-year leave from the army. ”
Although Zhao Dongting was also eager to recapture the old land of Lin'an, he also understood that the current Great Song Dynasty was overwhelmed.
I also need time to develop the economy and people's livelihood, otherwise, even if I can defeat the Yuan Dynasty, in the end, the whole world will only be full of holes.
More importantly, if you continue to fight like this, it is really unlikely that you want to hold on to the destruction of the Yuan Dynasty.
Soldiers fought on the front line, but they needed a steady supply of food, grass, and money.
Pu Shougeng was slightly stunned.
He didn't know that Zhao Dongting sent envoys to Dadu to ask Kublai Khan to release Li Xiushu.
And now that Zhao Dongting didn't say it explicitly, he naturally didn't want to ask too much.
After the silence, Pu Shougeng said: "Then after I return to Fuzhou, I will send a message to Dadu and ask the emperor, but it is just ......."
He wanted to speak, but he stopped.
Zhao Dongting said: "It doesn't hurt if Master Pu has something to say. ”
Pu Shougeng nodded, and said: "It's just that before I make a decision to the emperor, I wonder if our two armies will be able to maintain a truce?" ”
The last thing he wanted was for Fujian to be poisoned by the flames of war.
"Of course."
Zhao Dongting knew Pu Shougeng's thoughts, and said with a smile: "This Fujian Road is the land of my Great Song Dynasty sooner or later, and I don't want to see the people affected by the war." ”
Pu Shougeng was overjoyed, "So, thank you to the emperor." ”
Zhao Dongting nodded lightly, "Master Pu, don't forget to tell your emperor that I will not back down on these two conditions." Of course, Fujian Road must also be ceded to us. ”
"I must remember."
Pu Shougeng nodded in agreement.
After that, there was no talk of peace in the lobby, only drinking.
Pu Shougeng is an outsider, and when he didn't stay long, he left very interestingly. Before leaving, the tall and thin man and the short and fat man still couldn't help but cast a deep jealous look at Hong Wutian and the others.
And after they left, the feast in the lobby didn't last long.
Everyone was full of wine and food, satisfied, and after retiring from Zhao Dongting, they left in groups and shoulder-to-shoulder.
In the lobby, there were only a few people left, such as Wen Tianxiang, Ren Wei, Zhao Da, Zhao Hu, and Hong Wutian.
Compared with the Shemin generals, they are of course Zhao Dongting's cronies.
"Your Majesty, have you sent an envoy to Dadu?"
Waiting for the Shemin generals to leave the lobby, Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but ask Zhao Dongting.
Because this matter was a secret letter sent by Zhao Dongting in Liuxian Town at the foot of Longhu Mountain, yes, even he didn't know about it. In the DPRK, I am afraid that only a few people know.
"Hmm."
Of course, Zhao Dongting would not hide it from Wen Tianxiang, and said: "I sent an envoy to Dadu to exchange Princess Mingzhu for Li Xiushu, that is, Li Wangyuan's sister." ”
Wen Tianxiang was slightly stunned, "Then why didn't Emperor Yuan mention this matter in the matter of peace?" ”
Regarding the agreement between Zhao Dongting and Li Wangyuan, he knew about it. Zhao Dongting told him about this.
Zhao Dongting smiled, "What else?" Naturally, he was reluctant to go to the land of Western Xia, Li Wangyuan attached great importance to this sister, and if Li Xiushu was left in Dadu, the Yuan Dynasty would always be able to restrain Li Wangyuan and make him not dare to be too excessive. And if Li Xiushu is released, the Yuan Dynasty is only afraid that it will not have much control over the land of Western Xia. This Kublai Khan was really a courageous man, and he would rather abandon Fujian than let go of Western Xia. It's just that he can't help but think too well, he doesn't want to let Li Xiushu go, and he still wants to be clean for five years, just in this area of Fujian, he really wants to think about it. ”
Zhao Dongting doesn't care whether the Yuan Dynasty lets Fujian or not, what he cares about is whether he lets Li Xiushu go. This is his original intention and his purpose.
Fujian is located in the old land of the Southern Song Dynasty, bordering the current Song Dynasty. The Western Xia is located within the territory of the current Yuan Dynasty.
The Western Xia mutiny, which will become a cancer in the territory of the Yuan Dynasty. How can its value be compared with Fujian?
Wen Tianxiang nodded lightly and asked again: "Does the emperor think that Kublai Khan can agree to your peace conditions this time?" ”
"It's hard to say."
Zhao Dongting just spit out two words.
Wen Tianxiang said again; "Then if Kublai Khan agrees, will you really negotiate peace with the Yuan Dynasty?"
Zhao Dongting nodded, "You don't joke, if he agrees to my conditions, of course he will negotiate peace." Now our Great Song also needs time to recuperate......"
He also sighed quietly in his heart.
It's just that he traveled to the Southern Song Dynasty too late, and the Southern Song Dynasty was at the end of the road. If the time could have been earlier, when the Yuan Dynasty had just attacked the Song Dynasty, he would have traveled to the Southern Song Dynasty to be the emperor, and he Zhao Dongting would have absolute self-confidence, and he would have ruled the world at this time.
In that way, I don't know how many Li people can be saved.
Ren Wei, Zhao Da, Zhao Hu and others were all listening from the side.
Hearing Zhao Dongting's words, Zhao Da couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty, a truce of five years, then when can we take Lin'an?" The disabled veterans of Xianglong County ......"
Zhao Dongting cares about those old pawns, yes, Zhao Da always takes those old pawns to heart.
They fought with the Yuan army in Leizhou, that is, Xianglong County, before Zhao Da followed Zhao Dongting, and ended up disabled, but they kept Jinzhou, which still made Zhao Da admire.
Zhao Dongting sighed, "I can't be in a hurry, I can't be in a hurry!" If we continue to fight, we are afraid that people in our country will starve to death. Fighting a war is not as important as the people. ”
Wen Tianxiang and the others stopped talking.
They know that the emperor has never backed down on the issue of the people.
……
Pu Shougeng returned to the government.
In the end, he was still reluctant to drive the tall and thin man and the short and fat man away.
He is not Zhao Dongting, and it took a lot of effort to recruit these two siblings of the Great Yuan Realm.
Early the next morning, he left with a group of worshippers and rushed to Fuzhou.
In the middle of the night, he rushed back to Fuzhou, and after a short time, there were carrier pigeons in the palace and jumped up to the sky, heading in the direction of Dadu.
Three days have passed.
Pigeons landed in the Imperial Palace.
Immediately, a eunuch took down the secret letter tied to the pigeon's leg, treated it as an emergency military situation, reported it layer by layer, and transmitted it to the imperial study at a very fast speed.
Kublai Khan was lying lazily on the dragon couch in the imperial study, seemingly casually flipping through the folds. There are a group of eunuchs and palace maids waiting next to him.
Huang Liangce stood beside him.
The voice of the eunuch sounded outside the door, "Your Majesty, Fuzhou Zhongshu Zuo Cheng Pu Shou Geng has a secret letter to submit." ”
Kublai Khan's eyes condensed slightly, and he sat up.
Huang Liangce naturally walked towards the outside of the house, and when he came back again, he had the letter in his hand.
Kublai Khan took the letter, but he didn't open it, but asked Huang Liangce as if he were talking to himself, "Huang Gonggong, do you think the Song Dynasty agreed, or didn't agree?" ”
Huang Liangce only said: "The old slave doesn't dare to speak falsely. ”
Kublai Khan didn't say anything anymore, and opened the letter to himself.
"Humph!"
Then, within a few seconds, a cold snort came out of his mouth.
After a few seconds, the letter was slapped on the bookcase, "Rubbish! It's all rubbish! ”
All the eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial study knelt down, as quiet as a cicada, only Huang Liangce was still standing.
After waiting for dozens of seconds, seeing that Kublai Khan's chest was just rising and falling, and he no longer spoke, Huang Liangce said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, does the Song Dynasty agree to negotiate peace?" ”
Kublai Khan's eyes were full of anger, "If you want to change to me, I won't agree!" That group of waste, tens of thousands of people attacked Shao Wu, and they were even burned by the Song army and cornered. ”
Huang Liangce's face also changed slightly.
He always followed Kublai Khan's side, and he was trusted by Kublai Khan, so he naturally knew about the affairs of the army.
The tens of thousands of Yuan troops on the Jiangnan West Road were defeated by the Toutuo army of only a few thousand people?
If that's the case, then they really deserve the word "waste".
But Kublai Khan snorted coldly and said: "This Song Emperor also doesn't know what to do, I want to give him the most beloved pearl as the queen, but he can't accept it!" He also said that he would not make any concessions on this condition. ”
At this time, Kublai Khan undoubtedly had some childish tempers.
In his mind, if you Song Huang doesn't agree, you won't agree, why do you have to be so solemn?
Could it be that my most beloved princess Pearl is so unbearable that she can't get into your eyes?
