Chapter 12: Trouble

Previous Chapter

Theoretically speaking, in a place like Jingshi, high-ranking officials and nobles gather together. A small guerrilla general from the fifth grade, even if he wins consecutive victories on the battlefield, no one will be impressed by him. However, due to the Huaishui War, Li Bai's cavalry was the only face retained in the Great Song Dynasty. During the period of returning to Lin'an, compared to the snubbing of other generals by the clans, he continued to have various social activities and lived a very fulfilling life. The only regrettable thing is that Lin Chong mistakenly entered the White Tiger Hall with a knife and was stabbed in Cangzhou early, and Lu Qian also disappeared without news.

To be precise, as soon as Huaishui fought, there was a fight, and the official family wanted to negotiate peace, which was also expected by Li Bai. If there is someone in this world who knows Zhao Gou best, then this person will not be his favorite queen concubine, and it will not be Zhao Gou's most trusted courtier, Gao Yu. It's him Li Bai, and even Zhao Gou himself doesn't necessarily know himself as well as he does. When the first battle started, when the first battle report was presented to Zhao Gou, when he hysterically roared "stupid pig" in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, until Wei Liangchen was appointed as an envoy to Jin, everything was in the 'mastery' of this Great Song Dynasty official.

From the very beginning, Zhao Gou wanted to negotiate peace. The first battle of Huaishui is just a step for the main battle faction of the DPRK and China, and the opportunity is given to you, but you yourself are useless. The result? In October, the army marched from all over the country, and in November it hurried back to their respective stations in a leisurely manner. Since then the peace agreement came into effect, Song Xiang Jin called the ministers, the descendants of the generations, carefully observe the minister's festival, the two countries to the Huai River as the boundary, do not invade each other, every year Song also to the gold to pay tribute to silver, silk each 250,000 taels, horses, overdue payment, the consequences at their own risk.

After the terms of the peace talks were made public, the whole country was in an uproar.

After Li Bai and Wang Tong returned to Beijing, they did not continue to be on duty in Tianwuwei. Whether it was Han Shizhong, Gao Yu, or Zhao Gou, they couldn't think of what position they would sit in to be considered happy. Han Shizhong didn't dare to mention it, Gao Yu didn't want to mention it, and Zhao Gou pretended not to know. These two brothers have nothing to do all day, and they have been in the limelight recently, so they were invited to Han Shizhong's mansion for dinner today.

Master Li stood on the steps in front of the door, accompanied by two maids, and shouted loudly on tiptoe: "Are all the invited people here?" ”

"It's here, it's here, it's all here." Several men shouting at the top of their voices beckoned to her.

"The people in the Shilin, as well as the talents of the major academies, have they arrived?" Master Li asked.

The maid on the side took out the notebook and silently read the roll call one by one, and when she read Han Yanzhi, another maid replied: "Han Yanzhi Han Gongzi has not arrived yet." ”

Master Li couldn't help frowning when he heard this, there were a lot of eunuchs, and there were no less than 100 representatives from all walks of life watching the scene, but ...... He personally took the lead in provoking this rally, why didn't anyone come at this time.

Han Yanzhi himself does not have much appeal in Lin'an City, but he has a good father, Han Shizhong. The purpose of this rally was to take advantage of the east wind of all walks of life to persuade the officials to tear up the peace covenant.

Far away, Han Yan covered his buttocks, trotted over, and said breathlessly: "I'm here, I'm here!" ”

Master Li just wanted to complain about him, but after thinking about it, he endured it again. Han Yan asked directly, and then raised his voice and said to everyone: "Okay, everyone! Let's go to Li's main gate now and kneel down to invite the official's house and go! ”
