Because the policy of trade with Mongolia was promoted by Li Shichang. Originally, the former Northern Privy Council's envoy Mahmut was supposed to be involved. But at that time, Mahmut was affected by his son and was at home.

Therefore, Li Shichang was responsible for the entire trade with Mongolia.

Now that Hudabar is saying that trade is a policy that has misled the country, then in other words, Li Shichang's decision is wrong.

This is absolutely inadmissible for Li Shichang, who leans towards the government and the opposition.

In the end, whether the political decision is correct or not has a bearing on Li Shichang's career. Therefore, if he admits that the policy of trade is a policy that is wrong for the country, it will affect his position. Those political enemies who are not on good terms with him will also take advantage of this opportunity to vigorously attack.

I can't say it, the whole career is ruined like this.

Li Shichang secretly said that the fox's tail was finally revealed, and his face was sad, and he came out and said: "The Holy Heaven! Since the old minister upheld the government, he has been conscientious and conscientious. It is really terrifying to be attacked like this now. ”。

As soon as the words fell, Dali Zheng Guo Huai echoed: "The Holy Clearing! What Xiao Shu's envoy and Hu Yili said is really ridiculous. As far as the ministers know, the Mongols and the Jurchens have been enemies for generations. The two generations of Great Khans of the present-day Great Mongolia also died because of the Jurchens.

Therefore, Mongolia's sitting on the big side is a great benefit to the Great Liao.

Now Xiao's secret envoy said that Mongolia is a disaster for the Xia country, but why don't you see it, Mongolia is a disaster for the Great Liao? ”。 When he said this, Guo Huai stared straight into Xiao Fu's eyes.

"Humph! Our army is strong and strong, and Mongolia does not dare to compete with it. Xiao Servant was not frightened. He snorted coldly, and he didn't have a good airway.

Guo Huai immediately shook his head again and again, and retorted: "Definitely! Definitely! The Xia country has been a soldier for more than 150 years. Compared with Da Liao, it is difficult to distinguish between winning and losing. In the past, during the reign of Xingzong Chongxi, due to the rebellion of the Shannan Party and the troops of Liao to Xia, the Great Liao and the Xia Kingdom rose up to fight with the sword.

Although the battle was finally stopped with the surrender of the Xia country's main army, the Xia country's military strength should not be underestimated.

Today, Mongolia has repeatedly defeated the Xia army, invaded the Xia country, attacked cities and seized land, and plundered people as slaves. The prosperity of arrogance, can you avoid the great vastness of the defeated Jurchen? ”。

It's not good, but it's true. Because since Mongolia is not even afraid of Western Xia, why is it afraid of Daliao being driven out of their homeland by the Jurchens.

Some court officials listened and thought so.

"Ridiculous! Guo Lizheng is a minister of the Great Liao, why does he grow the prestige of Mongolia and destroy the ambition of the Great Liao? Hudabar looked at Xiao Funa's face was pale, and he was very angry. immediately scolded and helped.

"Humph! The matter of the homeland of Da Liao, once you return to the people, why do you put your beak away? ! Seeing that Hudabar stood up to help, Shi Motri immediately helped to speak.

When Khudabar heard this, he was choked at once. is also his identity, which is indeed embarrassing. His father was a Sogdian in the river, and his mother was a Xi. Therefore, in terms of blood relationship, he should belong to both the Sogdian and Xi people.

And because of his belief in following his father, in the eyes of others, it was logical to merge him into the Huihui faction.

If it weren't for the fact that his mother clan was the Xi clan, this resignation would not have fallen on his head.

At present, he was being ridiculed by Stone Motri about his identity, and he could not say anything to refute it.

Seeing that above the court, it will become a place of mutual attack. Yeluzi looked like a peacemaker again, and stood up and reconciled: "Ahem... Your Majesty is here, you still don't lose your manners. ”。

Shi Mo Terri also accepted it when he saw it, and said no more.

At this time, Yelu Zhilugu, who was sitting at the top, also knew that it was time for him to speak. Then he spoke up: "There are a lot of things involved in Mongolia. What you say is also the words of loyalty. It's just that Hu Aiqing's words are too practical and a little rude. ”。

This can be regarded as a rejection of the theory of calamity to the country in Khudabar and an acknowledgment of the correctness of Li Shichang's decision.

"Yes! Remember to be a minister! Khudabar replied respectfully, and then retreated to the ranks of the courtiers. However, seeing his posture of looking at his heart with his ears and nose, he knew that he was not convinced.

If, according to the past practice, the court meeting is here today, it should come to an end. But before he could think about it, another courtier came out and said: "Your Majesty! Weichen was shocked to hear a strange thing recently. Because it is related to Li Zhongshu, the minister does not dare to speak falsely. ”。

"Oh?!" , Yelu Zhilugu said suspiciously. The eyes of all the courtiers were also focused on Li Shichang at once. Some courtiers with a keen sense of politics have been faintly aware. Today's court discussion, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

For a time, there were many people who were wise enough to protect themselves, those who acted when they saw the opportunity, and those who stood in line to the end.

made the entire court also surging in an instant.

Li Shichang sneered in his heart! He knew this person, but he knew Liu Jinzhi, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan. has been an official for several years, and has always been close to him. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a henchman. Standing up today, in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, he told the strange things related to him.

Even if it doesn't make people reverie, it's impossible.

"Good, good! The old man opened his eyes and looked. How many things are still struggling to climb out, and they are the pawns of the old horseman! Li Shichang said secretly, his face showing a little solemnity.

In the eyes of others, he felt that what Liu Jin knew what he wanted to say was not good for Li Shichang.

It was also Liu Jinzhi who followed Li Shichang for several years and knew a lot of secret things. The words that come out are quite convincing.

saw that at the moment, Liu Jinzhi seemed to have something unspeakable. After glancing at Li Shichang with a guilty look on his face, he said with a straight face: "I heard about it." Li Zhongshu sent his retainers to Mongolia and set up a trading station. It's called commerce, but it's actually a resale of important weapons in the army..."

Wow... It's like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil!

The hall was full of civil and military, and they were all shocked. Yeluzi pretended not to know anything, and immediately stood up and scolded: "Envoy Liu, this matter is very important, don't talk about it!" ”。

Other courtiers also spoke out one after another. Most of them, however, are clearly unconvinced. Jelu Zhilugu, who was sitting at the top, also looked astonished. This made Li Shichang unsure whether Yelu Zhilugu knew about this in advance.

was full of anger, and looked at Liu Jin very unkindly: "Liu envoy." The old man has been an official with you for more than 20 years! What kind of temperament, you know best. How to slander the old man so far today? ”。

Because it's too raw. The voices were trembling.

Shi Mo Terlie was also very angry and said: "Liu Jinzhi! It is an unforgivable crime to slander the court officials in court. Your Liu family, are you ready to kneel down to face the monstrous disaster? ”。

"The old man, as a minister of the Great Liao, should share his worries for the Great Liao. Although Li Zhongshu has a deep personal relationship with the old man, he is not partial to the old man at the moment of righteousness. This time, it is a great righteousness.

"Good, good!" , Li Shichang said three good words in a row, and he couldn't wait to tear Liu Jinzhi's sanctimonious face. Although he was ready, he was ready to be betrayed. But when it really happened, the anger in my heart was still like a volcanic eruption, and I couldn't bear it.
