“…… The Western Xia envoys insisted on non-alignment, but were willing to submit to the Liao ......"

On the throne, Zhao Shu was breathing heavily.

Below, Han Qi and the others clenched their fists.

The voice of the spy echoed in the hall, very clearly.

"The Liao State asked the army to join forces when it went south......"

This is what Da Song is most worried about at the moment, once it happens, Da Song will face a battle monster.

The Western Xia people are not afraid of death, and the Liao people are brave...... Combining the two, it will be a serious test.

The spy continued: "The Tanguts refused ......"

In an instant, Zhao Shu's body loosened, and Han Qi habitually stepped on the back.

Hiss......

Zeng Gongliang hissed pain in his mouth, and then reached out without hesitation and pinched Han Qi's fat waist.

Bao Zheng blurted out: "The big thing is decided!" ”

The spy continued: "The Tangut people promised to contain the Great Song in the northwest when the Liao army moved south. ”

This is the result of the negotiations of the Liao?

Zhao Shu couldn't help laughing and said: "Yelu Hongji has wasted his efforts, hahahaha!" ”

Han Qi rubbed his waist, feeling that Zeng Gongliang, the old thief, was getting more and more ruthless, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Northwest Great Song Dynasty is heavily guarded, why are you afraid of the Western Xia people?" The Liao people pinned their hopes on Li Liangzuo to take millet from the fire for them, fearing that it was a dream. Now the Xixia people just want to take the benefits and go home, but the follow-up is to wait and see, Yelu Hongji has suffered a big loss. ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Zeng Gongliang said: "Yelu Hongji has been defeated several times, and now he is a little afraid in the face of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Your Majesty, the king is here, Shen An, please see you."

"Your Majesty, Han Jiang, please see you."

The courtiers came quickly, and Zhao Shu smiled: "Do you smell the good news?" Let them in. ”

The people came in and saluted, and they were told what had just been heard.

"Okay!" Not long after Han Jiang took over as the third envoy, he couldn't help but be ecstatic when he heard this: "Your Majesty, next year's life will be better!" ”

"Han Qing......" Zhao Shu couldn't help but sigh a little when he saw that the wrinkles on his forehead were much deeper.

Shen An also saw it, he remembered that the frown on Han Jiang's face a few months ago was not so much, and it was not so deep, this was ......

"Han Qing has worked hard." Zhao Shu felt that the position of the third secretary was really difficult, and it was only Bao Zheng and others who could hold it down. Han Jiang is the second to enter the palace, but he is still supported by the lamp and boiling oil.

"It's not hard work." Han Jiang said happily: "This alone can save a lot of money and food for Da Song, this news is really worth a thousand gold." ”

Zhao Shu nodded and asked Zhang Bannian on the side, "Are the spies over there?" ”

This is the emperor's question, and most of the answers are fine.

"Not so good." Zhang Banban told the truth, "The Liao people have cleaned up several times, our people have suffered heavy casualties, and the last remaining people are hiding, this time the minister gave a death order, even if he is dead, he has to find out the news......"

Zhao Shu was moved, "They are all loyal and good courtiers." ”

"Yes." Zhang Banian will not deny this, "This time they took the risk and were chased and killed by the Liao army, but fortunately, the envoy Tang Ren came to help, and they escaped...... It's the same spy from before. ”

"He's still there? Called. ”

"Minister Zhang Wulang, I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhang Wulang had already gone out to rest for a while, and he washed his face, looking at the meaning of a little white face.

"Is it dangerous on the Liao's side?"

"Dangerous." Zhang Wulang said: "After the Liao people were defeated at Yanmen Pass, they suddenly wiped out our people in Zhongjing City, and when they were caught off guard, six people died and three were captured...... One of the three confessed. Fortunately, our people changed places in time, so they were not besieged and killed in the future......"

The words are simple, but they smell of blood.

"Someone has defected?" Ouyang Xiu was a little dissatisfied, "It shouldn't be!" ”

"Not everyone is iron-clad." Shen An came out to defend the spies and said: "Only one of the three confesses, Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the people of the Imperial City Division are extremely good." ”

Ouyang Xiu muttered, not knowing what to say.

Shen An said with a smile: "If Ouyang Gong doesn't believe it, go back to the Imperial City Division and use a few secret spies of the Liao people to torture, so that you can see what life is better than death, just want to die quickly......"

Zhang Bannian closed his eyes, as if he heard those screams, and then anger suddenly climbed up his face, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, please ...... the minister."

Zhao Shu knew what this was, he didn't think about it, and nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhang Banian went out to prepare, Zhao Shu said with a smile: "It's approaching the end of the year, and a safe harvest has been reported everywhere, and I think that there is so much good news, who knows that there is such a big good news, I am really happy!" ”

"But for the Liao, this is bad news." Han Qi said with a smile: "Yelu Hongji, this great court, I'm afraid that he will have a cold face!" If you don't get it right, it will be difficult, I just hope that Tang Ren can stabilize and don't lose the face of Da Song. ”

"He won't." Tang Ren is Shen An's man, so he naturally wants to come out to endorse it.

Thinking of Tang Ren's pit in the southwest, Shen An had full confidence in him.

That guy can't do it, he's good at cheating.

Han Qi nodded, since Shen An dared to endorse it, he let go of the matter, "The Western Xia people rejected the Liao people, and then they were afraid that they would come to the Great Song Dynasty to seek benefits, how should they deal with it?" ”

The monarchs and ministers all laughed, and Bao Zheng said: "Western Xia is barren, and the Great Song Dynasty has been cut off for several years, and they have long complained internally, which is also the reason why Li Liangzuo has repeatedly come to plunder......"

He just said the background, and the rest depends on what the big guy means.

"To give or not to give?" Zeng Gongliang was a little melancholy, "Every year, the Great Song Dynasty has to give the Tangut people all kinds of things, and it must be 300,000 yuan, right?" It's just that the Great Song Dynasty closed the field, and their green salt has nowhere to sell, but people can't eat salt as food, right? ”

"Hahahaha!"

Junchen laughed again, Han Qi was out of breath with laughter, and Bao Zheng was also a little out of breath, but Shen An patted his back.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

In a very warm atmosphere, Zhao Ji, who had been silent, came out.

Zhao Shu was in a good mood and said, "If you have something to say, just say it, I'm all right." ”

At the end of the year, it is time to give his son some benefits and make him happy.

Thinking of his son's recent hard study, Zhao Shu felt that he was complete.

"Yes." Zhao Ji arched his hand, "The minister is thinking, since the Liao people are doing everything possible to do something to the Great Song Dynasty, why did the Great Song Dynasty give them New Year's coins?" ”

"You ......"

Zhao Shu was stunned and remembered what happened last time.

Last time, Zhao Ji suggested cutting off the Liao people's New Year's coin, but everyone didn't take it seriously.

But at this moment, it is different, in the context of the Liao people's plot and the Western Xia to join forces to deal with the Great Song Dynasty, this suggestion has become operational.

Zhao Ji said seriously: "Please cut off the Liao people's old coins......"

"That's not a lot of money." Ouyang Xiu felt that this little money was really nothing.

"Not much." Zhao Ji frowned and said, "But that's a shame!" How would the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty feel when they thought of giving money and silk to the Liao people every year? Today, the Great Song Dynasty has defeated the Liao people several times, and the army and the people are rejoicing, but the New Year's coin is still the same, what will they think? ”

"I think it's a shame!"

Zhao Ji said categorically: "No matter how much this money is, even if it is just a penny, it is also an insult to the Great Song Dynasty, please Your Majesty...... Cut off the coins. ”

He knelt down solemnly, and the atmosphere in the hall immediately froze.

Cutting off the New Year's coin, this is to turn the face with the Liao people.

The Great Song Dynasty and the Liao people were constantly at war with the Three Kingdoms of Western Xia, but while they started to do it, they turned people's brains into dog brains, but the envoys of the three parties kept coming and going......

How will the Liao people react?

will definitely regard Da Song as a sworn enemy.

Zhao Shu's face changed, and he frowned: "This matter ...... Discuss again. ”

Da Song is constantly improving, but he is still a little hesitant about the New Year's coin.

If it continues, the Great Song Dynasty will usher in a better external environment, so that the innovation and development of the country are all good things.

If it is cut off, the hegemony of the Liao people will be lost, and the Great Song Dynasty will not admit it!

Can Yeluhonki afford this price?

He absolutely can't afford it!

Zhao Shu's heart was shocked, his blood surged, and he immediately pressed it down again, "Let's talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty please think twice."

Zhao Ji touched the ground with his head.

Is this son still competing with me?

Zhao Shu shook his head, got up and said, "There is good news today, it just so happens that there are some good ingredients in the palace, which will be sent to Zhuqing's house later, and they will be enjoyed at the end of the year." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Everyone thanked him, and Zhao Ji still knelt.

What a child!

Zhao Shu was a little annoyed in his heart, so he said, "If you don't get up yet, do you want me to help you?" ”

Zhao Ji raised his head and said seriously: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the New Year's coin should be broken." ”

"I'll talk about it later!"

Zhao Shu was about to be confused by this son, and walked away.

Shen An walked over, picked him up, and said in a low voice, "It's no good to do this." ”

Zhao Ji got up, "What do you think?" ”

"Of course I agree." Shen An agreed with this matter, but he felt that the timing was wrong, "It's better to admonish after the Great Dynasty Meeting." ”

At that time, Zhao Shu's mood would be much better, and there was no suspicion of touching his head.

"I've got you done." Zhao Ji's attitude is very firm,

This kid doesn't seem to have been beaten!

Da Song shouldn't give New Year's coins anymore, but you have to pay attention to timing!

Shen An patted Zhao Ji on the shoulder, thinking that the Great Dynasty Meeting was not far away, and he would talk about it after the Great Dynasty Meeting was over.

He still has to go home, tease his son, and then take the family out to do New Year's goods.

As soon as he left the imperial city, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Shen An turned around and saw Zhang Bannian and a group of secret spies.

"Shen County Gong, can the Bishan Army borrow it?"

Zhang Eight-year-old was cold, but the meaning of these words was very interesting.

He felt that his people had been bullied in Liao, so he wanted to take revenge and come back, right?

But the spies inquired about the news, and it was their business to assassinate or something, and if they killed, they couldn't compare to the township soldiers of the Bishan Army.

"Well said!"

Later, the village soldiers entered the city, and Chen Zhongheng also came to the palace.

"The official family said that it's almost the end of the year, clean up and welcome the new year."

Ordinary people have to sprinkle and sweep their homes to welcome the new year before the Chinese New Year, and Zhao Shu means that Bianliang City also needs a sprinkler sweep.

But this time it was blood.

Zhang Banian took out a piece of paper, on which more than 20 addresses and people were recorded.

"Scattered to someone, this batch...... There are more than ten people here in Xishuimen, and a certain person is forced over from Jinliang Bridge, and you lead the township soldiers to cover up and kill from Watergate......"

Zhang Banian raised his head, and the ghost fire in his eyes was faint, "Today, the Imperial City Division will compete with the Bishan Army, how about it?" ”

Shen An smiled, "Whatever." ”

He glanced at Huang Chun and felt that Zhang Bannian was really asking himself to play this, and he was really asking for trouble for himself.

The two groups immediately separated, and Shen An led the villagers from Hengjie all the way to Xishuimen.

"Ordered to take the thief."

The people guarding the water gate still wanted to buy a favor, but they were made to kneel by Huang Chun's words.

"The villain is not corrupt......"

It was with this shout that the encounter began.
