Whoever is cunning must be a civil official of the Great Song Kingdom. In the past 160 years, it can be said that the civil officials have been omnipotent in the means of struggle, almost to the point of being incomprehensible, and now when there is no way to take advantage of the diplomatic relations with the Han State, they can only let the civil officials come forward, especially those old foxes in the political hall, which are even more cunning.

Sure enough, after the official family said the two conditions for the peace talks of the Song State, the Xianggong of the Political Affairs Hall exploded, these old foxes are not so easy to fool, of course they understand what the meaning of those two is, and they understand what the Han Kingdom wants to do.

Zhang Bangchang, who had just returned from the Jin Kingdom, was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, we resolutely cannot agree, these two requests are simply shameless. Who doesn't know that the king of the Han Dynasty is rich in the world, rich and rivals the country, if the people of the Great Song Dynasty are allowed to enter the Han Kingdom, it will not take many years for the Great Song Dynasty to be hollowed out by the Han Kingdom, and this article must not be agreed. As for the use of Han currency, it is even more nonsense, how can there be any reason for the currency of other countries. ”

"Zhang Xianggong, don't say this nonsense anymore. I'm talking to you today about how to solve the problem, not listening to what you say. How to protect the interests of our Great Song Dynasty to the greatest extent, and how to make the negotiations complete smoothly instead of stalemate. ”

The official family is in a bad mood now, and if the envoy of the Han State does not leave, the whole situation will not be stable, and now the capital is already panicked, and rumors are spreading, if it drags on any longer, I don't know what it will look like. In this case, he is not willing to listen to nonsense that is not nutritious.

Yes, if you say it officially, everyone will say it, but what is the actual point? At this time, the ministers of the political hall were silent, and no one had any idea for the time being.

Everyone unconsciously stared at Fan Zhixu, everyone knew that this old gentleman who had read poetry and books still had ideas, so they all wanted to hear what he had to say.

Fan Zhixu didn't want to speak, but he couldn't avoid it at this time, and after pondering for a while, he said: "The currency block will never work, because once the Han currency is used, then the price of the Great Song Dynasty will be controlled by the Han State." As for the first one they insisted on, I think it could be revised, not that it could not be agreed. ”

"Modify, how to modify?"

"Since it is permissible to move people and goods, is the imperial examination carried out at the same time, can the scribes also communicate, and the officials can also be exchanged? You must know that the most important thing in the Han Kingdom is the literati and civil officials, and these are inexhaustible and inexhaustible in our Great Song Dynasty. You must know that the hearts of literati and civil officials are towards our Great Song Dynasty, and they are also loyal to our Great Song Dynasty. Fighting wars depends on military generals and soldiers, but governing the country still needs civilian officials and civilians. Let's imagine what would happen if I ruled the Han Kingdom by the civil officials who were loyal to our Great Song Dynasty. The logistics and supply of the army are under our control, and no matter how strong the Han army is, it will eventually fall, so the first article can be modified to agree. On the surface, Han Guo did not suffer a loss, and even stained it, so Yuwen Xuzhong would definitely agree. ”

Gao, really smart, Fan Zhixu's shot was really extraordinary, won unanimous praise from everyone, and the official family naturally passed, now it's up to see how the second article is resolved, this one seems to be unsolvable, and it is difficult to achieve a complete ending.

Obviously, in the second article, Fan Zhixu has no good way, after all, he is not good at the economy, and he has no good ideas for a while.

In the case that Fan Zhixu didn't have a good idea, everyone's eyes were on Bai Shizhong, maybe at this time, Bai Shizhong, the old fox, would pay attention.

To be honest, at this time, everyone misses the old lady Cai Jing, if the old lady is here, he must have an idea, and he will not embarrass the official family, and he will not embarrass everyone.

Bai Shizhong didn't want to offend King Han, he didn't want to offend King Han, but everyone looked at him with expectant eyes, and it was obviously impossible to avoid it if he didn't come out in this situation.

After pondering for a long time, Bai Shizhong said: "Second, we can push it back, maybe there will be an unexpected gain." ”

"What pushback, how backpush?" Obviously, the official was interested in Bai Shizhong's words, and he wanted to find out what was going on.

Bai Shizhong said: "Canonization, tribute can not be less, this represents the national prestige of the Great Song Dynasty, but also represents the dignity of the imperial court, once this step is retreated, the Han State will have the possibility of replacing the Great Song Dynasty as orthodox in the future, so we must not back down on this issue, it is a principle that must be adhered to." As for the use of Han currency, there is nothing wrong with it, but the premise is that the Jin country also uses it, so that the trade between the three countries will be much smoother. Moreover, even if the three countries use the Han currency unified, there is a buffer process, which will take at least two or three years, and many things can change during this period. If Jin Guo does not agree, then it is logical for us to refuse. For us, we can attack, retreat and defend, and there is no need to be entangled at all. Moreover, silver itself is a precious metal, and manufacturing also costs money, as long as we find something and our plan between the conversion of silver dollars and copper coins, in fact, the Han Kingdom may not be stained. ”

It seems that this is the truth, everyone has no better tricks, and they have to agree to this disgust, and it involves the Jin State, there is no such simple pass, if the Jin State does not pass, there is no loss to the Great Song Dynasty, in this case, the official family agreed to Bai Shizhong's plan.

Mei Zhili suddenly had an idea, and he said with a smile: "The cavalry of the Jin State is stronger than the Han army, and the Jin army suffered a loss in the previous battle. We can send an envoy to Huiningfu, the capital of the Jin State, and we can unite the Jin State to deal with the Han State. ”

Uniting foreign clans to deal with the Han State, this is a typical traitor, and only Mei Zhili will put forward this shameless plan, but he didn't expect the official family to agree, so angry that Fan Zhixu really wanted to slap Mei Zhili.

"I don't agree, cooperating with the Jin State is undoubtedly seeking the skin of the tiger, that is definitely to lure the wolf into the house, after the Jin State destroys the command of the Han State, it will directly attack the Great Song Dynasty, at that time the Great Song Dynasty is in danger of falling, this is absolutely impossible." Bai Shizhong was very annoyed by Mei Zhili's traitorous behavior.

Fan Zhixu also said angrily: "The ambition of the wolf son of the Jin State is well known to passers-by, and the current situation of the Three Kingdoms killing is the most powerful for our Great Song Dynasty, because we are the richest, and we can drag down the Jin State and the Han Kingdom through a trade war." However, if you unite the Jin State to deal with the Han State, it is better to unite the Han State to deal with the Jin State. In fact, the Three Kingdoms is a situation where no one can eat anyone, and the Three Kingdoms kill, and if one side collapses, the whole situation will collapse. Besides, we are of the same origin as the Han Kingdom, we are a country of brothers, we are brothers, how can we attract the evil wolf of the Jin Kingdom to deal with our brothers? ”

Fan Zhixu was very excited, if it weren't for the fact that his small body was too weak, he might have gone up and slapped Mei Zhili a few times, but he was really angry, he didn't expect Mei Zhili to be so shameless.

Seeing that Bai Shizhong and Fan Zhixu were very excited, in this case, Wang Shiyong wanted to support his good friend Mei Zhili, he hurriedly said, "Don't be excited, everyone should not be excited, since Lord Mei said so, there must be a mature plan, should we listen to Lord Mei?" ”

The official family saw that these important ministers were about to quarrel, so they said: "They are all important ministers, quarreling like this, like a shrew, what kind of system." Since Mei is in charge of the ceremony and put it forward, let's say the plan. Anyway, since everyone has no opinion on the first two items, let's implement them, and hurry up and reach an agreement with the Han envoys. In addition, Mei Qing's family, if the plan is not mature, and it can't be saved, let's talk about it, there is no need to rush the ducks to the shelves, and you have to say the unreliable plan. ”

Mei Zhili did have a plan, but this occasion was obviously not suitable for saying it, so he could only report it to the official family in private, so he didn't say anything more. In Bai Shizhong, Fan Zhixu did not insist anymore.

The plan was accepted by the Han envoy Yu Wenxuzhong, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

After Yuwen met with the Emperor Taishang in a courtesy manner, he did not stop and returned directly to Jingzhao Mansion.

On the day that Yuwen left Beijing, Mei Zhili met with the official family and came up with a plan that he thought was mature. He finally said: "Your Majesty, in all dynasties, there has never been a dynasty that perished because of a foreign invasion. Most of them died in civil strife and in the usurpation of power by powerful ministers. The Jin Kingdom has not yet been civilized, so there will be no idea of destroying our Great Song Dynasty. At most, I will cede some land and give more coins. This point means that Hedong Road, Yunzhou, and Hebei Road can be ceded. Then two million coins a year, and the Jin State and the Han State fought several times were lost soldiers, and the Jin State would definitely retaliate, besides, the Western Xia was the goal of the Jin State, if you want to destroy the Western Xia, then you must defeat the Han State, and the entire northwest will naturally become the target of the Jin State. And what we lost was only the year's coin, and the minister thought that we could set the year's coin at between one million and three million a year, no matter how many year-old coins we paid, let the Han Kingdom pay tribute to the Great Song Dynasty as many year-old coins, so that our Great Song Dynasty did not lose at all. ”

"That traitor is not a fool, how can he let us talk about it?"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, he will agree, you must know that if we use the Han silver dollar, they can already earn a lot, three million is definitely the range they can afford, if they don't agree, then change it to two million, but the firearms technology will be transferred to us, and we will help us train craftsmen."

Zhao Huan, the son of heaven, was suddenly moved, although the Emperor Taishang returned, but the money taken away by the Emperor Taishang was not sent back in time, in other words, this is the last weight of the Emperor Taishang, and he will not be sent back easily. Now that the treasury is empty, and the taxes in the south are not handed over on time, at this time, if there are two or three million, it is definitely a good thing, and the reason why the Han State defeated the Jin State is by firearms, if there are powerful firearms, the Great Song Dynasty is no longer afraid of the Jin State, the Han State.

"You just watch it, see how to convince the King of Han, you must get the firearms, I am worried that the Han State will refuse."

Mei Zhili was sure to solve this problem, because he knew that the Han King would not watch the Great Song and the Jin State cooperate, and for this reason, the Han State would definitely compromise.

People can overestimate themselves, but they must not underestimate the enemy, such a person is very stupid, it is obvious that Mei Zhili is such a stupid person, how can he eat well in the Han Kingdom with his little tricks?

Mei Zhili felt that he could complete a new peace negotiation, and he happily went to Jingzhao Mansion to visit the King of Han, but he did not expect that the negotiation was completely different from what he imagined.

All the contents of the negotiations in Yuwen Xuzhong have been deliberated before, so they will accept the conditions offered by the Great Song Dynasty, because these are not the slightest loss for the Han State. The Han Kingdom needs one to two years of recuperation, and it needs this buffer stage to solve the Western Xia problem, the Dali problem, of course, when it is obtained from the return of Dali, it will be solved by the way Chengdu Fu Road and Kuizhou Road. After that, the big war began, and it didn't matter whether it was against Song or Jin.

After returning, Yuwen Xuzhong reported to the King of Han as soon as possible.

After hearing this, King Han said with a smile: "Look, the envoy of the Song State will soon come back to Jingzhao Mansion to negotiate, and the conditions brought must be very harsh, but you don't have to worry about this, I have other arrangements." What you have to do now is to determine the Han official system as soon as possible, especially the civil officials, we are too short of civil officials, if there is no good system, promotion mechanism, then there will be a lot of trouble in the future. As for the generals, it is easy to say, and it can be evaluated by military merits. Specifically, you go and discuss it with Zhao Ding. By the way, I heard that you and Uncle Zhang are old friends, if you can convince Uncle Zhang to return to Shun, the position of the political hall in the future will be yours, and the founding county prince will not be able to run. ”

"The minister must do his best, but this guy is dead-eyed and wholeheartedly loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

"Don't worry, as long as he is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, not the Zhao family, it won't be long before his loyalty can't find a target." The King of Han has always admired Zhang Shuye very much, and thinks that this Wenchen commander is also an expert, it is simply Confucius's waist sword and both civil and military, and the Han Kingdom is too lacking such a Wenchen, and he can pull one by one.

In the evening, after Queen Pan Yun listened to King Han's story, she said with a smile: "Husband, what kind of conditions do you say the envoy sent by Zhao Huan sent by that idiot will propose, and we agree or refuse." ”

"What can there be, isn't it just a trick of the Three Kingdoms to kill, the condition must be that the lion opens his mouth and will say that if we refuse, the Great Song Dynasty will cooperate with the Jin State and then deal with the Great Han."

"Will they cooperate with Jin Guo?"

King Han said with a smile: "We promise or not, they will cooperate with the Jin country, the current Jin country is fragrant, the Great Song Dynasty and the Han Dynasty are rushing to cooperate with the Jin country, in this case, the Jin country is waiting for the price to sell." But what Jin Guo wanted, Song Guo's negotiations could not solve the problem. Only we can, so it is destined that when the two sides of the Song Kingdom talk about cooperation, both sides will suffer a big loss if they use their coercive faces. Jin will agree, and we will agree, but both sides will dig holes, and Zhao Huan, that idiot white powder, will jump in.
