Zhao Hao and Zheng Huchen discussed all night, not only ordering the Secretariat to actively search for the lost members of the task force, but also asking them to closely monitor the changes in the situation in Yunnan, and at the same time to make timely moves to 'make trouble' and let them attack each other endlessly. In addition, in the near future, it is necessary to pay due attention to the peace talks, and find out the bottom line of the negotiations between the Mongolian and Yuan sides, so as to take the initiative in the peace talks.

Another problem that needs to be solved urgently is the funding of the bureau, which is no longer feasible to smuggle sea salt in Jiangnan, but the task of the bureau is becoming more and more onerous, and the expenses are naturally increasing day by day. The value of the Yuan banknotes is now depreciating day by day, and the cost of printing counterfeit banknotes is almost out of cost. There is basically no way to continue these two transactions, and new sources of income need to be opened.

The two discussed until the rooster crowed, and chose a few projects, but they were not finalized. In addition, the bureau did not have an office space after entering Beijing, and Zhao Yu's royal garden in the Pingshan Imperial Garden was used as their peripheral stronghold, and the bureau was originally owned by the inner government, which was not only justifiable, but also obscured. In addition, the driver's room near the North Palace has been converted into their office space to facilitate communication with each other.

Zheng Huchen was inconvenient to stay here for a long time, so he left quietly before dawn. Zhao Yu couldn't sleep when he saw it, so he went out to exercise with the guard camp as usual, and when he came back, he bathed and changed his clothes and had breakfast, and he wanted to take a nap. But as soon as he fell asleep, Wang De came in and announced that the left and right ministers and the two governors had come to visit him. He knew that there was turmoil in Yunnan, and the Queen Mother would definitely send someone to ask for advice, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly. I had no choice but to let them wait in the side hall, and they would arrive later to change their clothes.

"There was a sudden turmoil in Dali, and Guangnan West Road was affected, and His Majesty must have read the military newspaper." Although everyone knows it, since they came in the name of visiting the sick, of course they have to say a few words of greeting. After being polite, Lu Xiufu said first.

"Well, I have already seen it, but it is said that I know that the king of Yunnan of Mengyuan was attacked when he crossed the river in Luzhou, and his subordinates suspected that it was the Nanzhao Si who did it, and then slaughtered the villages of Zhubo to cause a rebellion and lead to turmoil." Zhao Yu nodded, and inadvertently revealed some inside information.

"Oh, Timur was attacked first, is it life or death?" Several people looked at each other with incredible expressions, they all knew that the king of Mengyuan was the king, and he elected Zhenjin as the Great Khan, and he was awarded the position of hereditary king of Yunnan by Timur, but he was attacked before he returned, and there must be something strange about it. Wen Tianxiang got up and asked.

"The specific situation is not yet known, but the two lines of Gan Mala, the king of Liang and the king of Oulu, the king of Xiping, who guarded Dali in the past, were also involved in it, and they attacked each other with the Timur lineage, and I judged that he might be dead!" Zhao Yu said.

"Could it be that the king of Mengyuan Liang or the king of Xiping was dissatisfied with the hereditary king of Yunnan of the Yexian Timurid lineage, so they planned the attack, and then blamed the Nanzhao Zhufan Division?" Liu Huang thought about it and asked.

"It is possible before the water is revealed, maybe it is the Dali Zhufan Si who is unbearable and assassinates them, or maybe the kings are colluding with them, but everything has yet to be verified!" Zhao Yu said, of course he refused to admit that he did it himself, otherwise it would be another exhortation.

"Your Majesty, Dali is adjacent to our dynasty, which will inevitably cause unrest in the government and the opposition, how to deal with it?" Lu Xiufu bowed his hand and asked.

"I don't know much about the situation, and I can't judge the enemy's next move, but they don't stop fighting, and it won't hurt our court!" Zhao Yu blinked his eyes a few times, and did not make a decision, but said ambiguously.

"Your Majesty, after learning of the situation, the Queen Mother convened the ministers and others to discuss, but the ministers had different opinions, and the Queen Mother asked Her Majesty to decide!" Of course, Lu Xiufu understands the little emperor's thoughts, and now that the queen mother is in charge, how can he speak on his own, he smiled and made it clear.

"What do the ministers think?" Zhao Yu asked.

"Your Majesty, the ministers of the court and the central government have different opinions, but there are mainly two opinions." Lu Xiufu said, "One thinks that we should take advantage of the turmoil in Dali and send troops to seize Dali, so as to eliminate our worries about the future, and we can concentrate on the frontal enemy; The two should abide by the old training of Taizu, and the soldiers should not be able to fight on the Jinsha River. ”

"Well, I think the current situation is still unclear, so I should stand still for the time being and see the situation!" Zhao Yu nodded.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that taking advantage of the enemy's internal strife should be planned as soon as possible, and our dynasty can contact the Dali Zhufan Division to fight against Meng Yuan, otherwise once the Yuan court reappoints the king of Yunnan and quells the civil strife, it will miss a good opportunity!" Wen Tianxiang listened and hurriedly said.

What Wen Xiang said is not unreasonable, but most of them are thousands of miles away from Dali, and I am afraid that he will not be able to reach him. Moreover, he had just inherited the throne of the Khan, and it may take time for the court to be stable, and the hereditary kings of Yunnan in the first Timurid line were forced by the situation, so the turmoil was more beneficial to it than a monolithic Yunnan, and perhaps this attack was its mastermind. Zhao Hao chuckled, "Besides, if the Yuan Court wants to quell the turmoil, it can only mobilize the army of Sichuan and Shu, but they still need to prevent our army from going up the river to seize Sichuan and Shu, so even if they want to, they can't manage it." ”

"Well, Your Majesty thinks that Zhenjin will not intervene in the Yunnan turmoil?" Wen Tianxiang thought about what the little emperor said is not unreasonable, the terrain of Dali is closed, and it is easy to form separatist forces, and civil strife is of course conducive to the rule of Zhenjin when the situation is weak.

"I thought that the superficial things still had to be done, but it was nothing more than a few decrees to show its existence, and it would not be able to quell the conquest of all parties, and the two sons of Timur were already adults, and it was difficult to say who would inherit the throne!" Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty has a point. At that time, Taizu also said that the people of Dali were ruthless and brave, fierce and difficult to govern, and rebellious and impermanent. Meng Yuan has been in Dali for 30 years and has not been completely pacified, which can be seen that this is indeed the case. Now that they are attacking and killing each other, it will inevitably weaken their strength, and there will be no threat to our DPRK at that time. Liu Huang nodded and said.

"Well, what Governor Liu said is good. As long as we recover Jiangbei and Mengyuan declines, Dali will inevitably cling to our dynasty and recover Dali without blood! Ying Jie said sternly.

"I thought that it was better to be still than to be still, and to let the garrison of the Western Front strictly guard the border. The displaced people who have fled into our dynasty can be properly accommodated, and the enemy who invades the territory must be resolutely attacked by either side, but it is never pursued across the border so as not to fall into it. Zhao Yu said.

"The ministers will obey the holy decree and wait for the Empress Dowager to tell the Xijiang Preparation Division." Lu Xiufu said.

"Now is the time for the two countries to negotiate peace, and it is easy to give people a handle when sending troops at this moment, and Your Majesty's holy judgment also makes the ministers have to talk to them!" Wen Tianxiang also shook his head and smiled. In fact, he originally supported the collection of Dali, but he was worried that he would rush to send troops and fall into the mud, and he was relieved after listening to the little emperor's analysis under the contradiction.

"Oh, what's going on with the peace now?" Zhao Hao asked pretending not to know.

"Your Majesty, at present, Meng Yuan has changed to Boyan as the envoy, he has already set off from Dadu, and he will arrive in Yangzhou in a few days!" Wen Tianxiang said.

"Hehe, it's really not that enemies don't get together, I think that Wen Xiang and Na Boyan also held a peace meeting on behalf of their respective courts, but I didn't expect to get together again ten years later, but it will become a good story." Zhao Hao smiled.

It was still the first year of Chunyou, and the commander of the Yuan Dynasty, Boyan, had crossed the Yangtze River and divided his troops into three ways to attack Lin'an. One of them starts from Jiankang, crosses the Pingjiang River, and goes straight to Dusong Pass. Wen Tianxiang led 30,000 Qinwang army also led troops to Lin'an, the right prime minister Chen Yizhong sent him to Pingjiang to defend, he just left Pingjiang, Dusong Pass has been broken by the Yuan army, want to return to Pingjiang, Pingjiang is also lost. Discussed with Zhang Shijie, a general from Yingzhou, and suggested to the imperial court that he concentrate his forces to fight to the death with the Yuan army. But the timid Chen Yizhong said that he did not agree with anything.

At this time, Boyan led his troops to Gaoting Mountain, which was only thirty miles away from Lin'an, and all the ministers in the court, including Zuo Prime Minister Liumengyan, slipped away. Empress Dowager Xie and Chen Yizhong panicked, and hurriedly sent an official to the Boyan camp to sue for peace with the national seal and the surrender table. But Boyan designated that the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty should negotiate in person, but Chen Yizhong was afraid of being detained, so he did not dare to go to the Yuan camp and fled to the south; Zhang Shijie was unwilling to surrender, so angry that he led his troops to sea on a Shanghai ship. Empress Dowager Xie had no choice but to announce that Wen Tianxiang would succeed Chen Yizhong as the right prime minister, and asked him to go to the Boyan camp to negotiate surrender.

Wen Tianxiang didn't want to negotiate peace at all, and not only did he not give in under Boyan's coercion and temptation, but also reprimanded him. As a result, Boyan detained him in the camp, and Empress Dowager Xie surrendered wholeheartedly, reappointed Jia Yuqing as the right prime minister, and went to Yuanying to ask for surrender. After Boyan accepted the surrender, he invited Wen Tianxiang into the camp and told him that the imperial court had sent another person to surrender. He was so angry that he scolded Jia Yuqing, but the surrender was irreparable, and he was escorted to Dadu with the young emperor, but he escaped halfway.

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of the minister, this matter is regarded as the greatest humiliation in his life!" Wen Tianxiang blushed and said.

"The text is wrong!" Zhao Yu waved his hand and said, "I think that Wen Xiang is still not afraid of strong enemies when the country is broken, and dares to scold Boyan in person, which shows the iron backbone of my Great Song Dynasty Han'er, which is our model and the pillar of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

"Your Majesty has a good reputation, and the minister is ashamed." Wen Tianxiang hurriedly saluted when he heard this, "The minister failed to achieve his mission, so that the king was humiliated by the Tartars, and he hated to repay the emperor's favor with death!" ”

"Hehe, don't feel guilty, now that I am back in Jiangnan, it is not the time of the past, if he dares to insult the monarch again, I will let him take his own humiliation!" Zhao Hao smiled.

"I understand. Today's peace meeting is imminent, and the ministers have agreed on a statement, please take a look at it! Wen Tianxiang took out the music from his sleeve and presented it.

"Alas, the price listed by the Qing family is too low, so won't they get an inch!" Zhao Yu took it and read it, what was listed on it should be just an outline, but he didn't know what he wanted, frowned and sighed.

"Please show me your majesty!" Wen Tianxiang looked at the words of several other colleagues and said that this was drawn up by several of their chief deacons after several court discussions, and they thought that it was extremely appropriate, but the little emperor was very dissatisfied.

"I thought that the first payment of the peace agreement was to send Meng Yuan back to Emperor Chunyou and the accompanying clan, and return the coffin of the Empress Dowager." Zhao Yu took the imperial pen and filled it in.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid this is not appropriate. If Emperor Chunyou returns to the country, won't there be two masters in the country, where will His Majesty be placed? Lu Xiufu immediately spoke.

"The change of Jingkang back then, the second emperor of Huiqin lost his life in the north of the Five Kingdoms City, it is really the shame of my Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years, only to welcome back Emperor Chunyou can be a shame before the snow, as for the throne, if he is willing to give it to him!" Zhao Yu said. He clearly expected that Meng Yuan's chance of returning Emperor Chunyou was almost equal to zero, and if he didn't make a gesture, it was tantamount to being unkind and unjust, so this hypocritical good man still had to do it.

"Your Majesty is loyal and filial, and the ministers are respectful!" The little emperor said so, and of course a few people should praise it.

"Mongolia and Song Dynasty take the Yangtze River as the boundary, this is too conservative, I thought that the Huai River was the boundary before I could barely say it!" Zhao Yu raised his hand to excuse them and said again.

"Your Majesty, of course it's best to take Jianghuai as the boundary, but will Meng Yuan agree?" Lu Xiufu frowned.

"Even if we demarcate the Yangtze River, does Lu Xiang think that Meng Yuan will agree? Let's sit on the ground and start the price, and they can pay it back on the spot! Zhao Hao laughed and said, "If the two sides are commensurate with each other's brotherly countries, this article is not appropriate, isn't there still a difference between the top and bottom, and this advantage cannot be taken advantage of." ”

"Your Majesty, the brotherly kingdom has shown that we are equal to each other, and we will not let them take advantage!" Wen Tianxiang said with a wry smile.

"That's not good, I'm younger than Zhijin Zhenjin, wouldn't it be a loss!" Zhao Yu said that he had already crossed out this article, "The establishment of the field still needs to be discussed, and the pricing power must be in our hands, so as not to be blackmailed by them!" ”

"Yes!" Lu Xiufu also smiled bitterly, where is this to prevent others from blackmailing themselves, it is clear that His Majesty wants to blackmail them!

"If there are any old things in our palace that Meng Yuan has taken away, they must be returned, and the craftsmen must also be recovered!" Zhao Yu continued to sketch the Dao.

"What Your Majesty said is very different from the conditions proposed by Meng Yuan, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve!" Seeing that the little emperor had changed so much, Liu Huang said in a hurry.

"Governor Liu is too honest, we have already occupied Jiangnan, if he wants to have the ability to take it back, why do you need to talk to us? If you can't talk about it for a while, let's talk about it slowly, anyway, we're not in a hurry, we can earn every inch of land! Zhao Hao said with a smile.

"Your Majesty......" Liu Huang still wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, forget it. The little emperor clearly used the tactic of delaying the army, using the peace talks as a cover to delay time with Meng Yuan. I really want to talk about it, with its ability to squeeze money out of the sea, it is not so easy to snatch food from its mouth.

"What Your Majesty said is that the current situation has been reversed, our dynasty is already invincible, and it is a failure to take a step back, and it is impossible to explain to the people. Not to mention the harsh conditions. Let us become its vassals, and the years of tribute are simply nonsense, and we must not make the slightest concession on this! Wen Tianxiang said.

"As it should be, as long as I am on the throne for one day, I will never allow any more things to happen that have lost the country and humiliated power, and we must recover Yanyun and Mumasaiwai and restore our long-lost glory!" Zhao Yu said solemnly......
