"Zhao Mingcheng?"

After listening to the person recommended by Qin Hui, Zhao Gou's brows were furrowed, and he said secretly: "How could Qin Hui recommend this cowardly to negotiate peace?" ”

Qin Hui, who saw Zhao's thoughts, said unhurriedly: "Now, the big soldiers are strong and strong, and there is a steady stream of money, food, soldiers and horses in Liaodong to support, its army, whether it is fighting with the Jin army, or fighting with our Song army, have won consecutive battles, quite unstoppable, its arrogance must be arrogant, people who go to negotiate peace have to eat some grievances and even suffer some insults, if it is by me and other loyal people to negotiate peace, it will be difficult to bear such grievances, and then bad things, and Zhao Mingcheng is a person who is timid and afraid of things, and cherishes his life, so, at a critical time, He should be able to make some concessions, and only then can he bring about this peace. ”

Zhao Gou asked leisurely: "Isn't Aiqing afraid that he will betray the interests of the country?" ”

When Qin Hui heard this, he was not afraid, but bowed to the ground and said: "The official family forgives the minister for not being guilty, and the minister dares to say it." ”

Zhao Gou said: "Say it, I forgive you for your innocence." ”

Qin Hui stood up at this time and said: "Now, the situation is not in my Great Song Dynasty, and the peace negotiation was also proposed by my Great Song Dynasty, so if you want to make peace this time, you can only ...... Begging. ”

The word 'begging' is so harsh and insulting for an emperor!

But Zhao Gou knew that what Qin Hui was talking about was the current predicament of the Great Song Dynasty - if they didn't beg to surrender, how could Dazhong let them go of the Great Song Dynasty?

After being silent for a while, Zhao Gocai said: "Whether it is peace or begging, this matter is all handled by Aiqing, but there are several conditions for Lian, I hope Aiqing can achieve it for me." ”

Qin Hui felt a pang in his heart, knowing that Zhao Gou was going to teach him the bottom line of peace, and this bottom line was obviously not easy to achieve.

Qin Hui bowed and said, "The ministers are listening. ”

Zhao Gou said: "First, at most, it can only be bounded by the big river, and Sichuan and Shaanxi cannot be cut. ”

It's a given.

If it is cut again, there will not be much territory in the Southern Song Dynasty.

Moreover, Shaanxi has the most elite and capable Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, which is all the hope of the Southern Song Dynasty.

In addition, the maritime trade of the Southern Song Dynasty had been cut off by Li Yan, and Zhao Gou and the Southern Song court could only count on the rich Shuzhong to provide economic support to the Southern Song Dynasty.

It can be said that if Sichuan and Shaanxi are lost, the Southern Song Dynasty will lose - from a strategic point of view, this is also the case, if Sichuan and Shaanxi are lost, the Southern Song Dynasty will rely on the Yangtze River, which is a natural danger, but it will be useless, and the Chinese army can go down the Yangtze River from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and attack the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop.

Therefore, this is really the bottom line that Zhao Gou and the Southern Song Dynasty can accept.

Qin Hui heard the words and said: "The minister has written it down, and he must not let the land!" ”

Zhao Gou said again: "It's okay to call the clan a tribute, but I will never recognize Li Yan's thief as my father!" ”

This is not because Zhao Gou thinks too much, but because after Li Yan accepted Zhao Gou's mother Wei Xianfei as a concubine, many people called Zhao Gou "Emperor Er", and some even called Zhao Gou "Li Gou", which made Zhao Gou feel extremely humiliated.

To tell the truth, this is Zhao Gou, if it were someone else, he would never be able to bear this endless evil breath!

Qin Hui knew where Zhao Gou's heart was, and he also understood Zhao Gou, so he agreed unequivocally: "The minister is ten thousand deaths, and he will never let the official family be humiliated!" ”

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Gou said, "Let Li Yan, that thief, return to my daughter of the Zhao family...... At the worst of all, I must return my mother, concubines, and daughters, so that we can be reunited. ”

……

After Qin Hui left the palace, he saw Zhao Mingcheng wandering in front of the palace gate at a glance.

At the same time, Zhao Mingcheng also saw Qin Hui, and immediately stepped forward and said, "Yes, what's the matter, can the official family still take my official position?" ”

Qin Hui was a little hated that iron could not become steel and said: "How can you go down the city and still be caught?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng's old face turned red, and he said, "I'...... I...... At that time I thought ......"

Qin Hui interrupted Zhao Mingcheng and said, "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to hear your explanation...... Your prefect, don't think about it for the time being, I have won another messenger for you, this messenger, if you do a good job, I will guarantee that you can be reinstated, even if it is a further step, it is not impossible. ”

Zhao Mingcheng was overjoyed and said, "What is the mission?" ”

Qin Hui said: "Ambassador of Peace." ”

"What?"

Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly said: "Yes, how can you harm me!" ”

Since ancient times, most of those who go to negotiate peace have not ended well, even if you talk well and fight for your country, you will be liquidated later.

Therefore, negotiating peace is definitely a thankless errand.

It's far away, let's just say that the Song officials who went to negotiate peace with the Jin people at the beginning, later, without exception, they were all liquidated by the main battle factions of the Northern Song Dynasty, and almost all of them ended up well.

Therefore, Zhao Mingcheng said that Qin Hui harmed him.

When Qin Hui heard this, his face sank suddenly, and he said, "Since Brother Defu thinks so, then Qin Hui will go in and resign for Brother Defu now." ”

After finishing speaking, Qin Hui walked back.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly grabbed Qin Hui's sleeve and said: "Yes, that's not what I mean for my brother, I know that you must be well-intentioned for my brother, but it has always been thankless to discuss peace......

Qin Hui is actually just making a show.

Seeing that Zhao Mingcheng pulled the words back, Qin Hui said: "Brother Defu, didn't I say you, do you still have the qualifications to pick up errands?" Do you know that the official family originally wanted to dismiss you and send you to Huzhou, if I didn't protect you regardless of your face, your political future would be completely over! ”

Hearing Qin Hui's words, Zhao Mingcheng, who has always been very important in his career, was suddenly coaxed, and persuaded himself in his heart: "Discussing peace is also for the country and the people, why can't you do it?" ”

Seeing that Zhao Mingcheng's attitude was relaxed, Qin Hui's tone softened, and said: "Brother Defu, if you talk about learning, I am not as good as you, but if you are an official, you may have to be worse than me." ”

Zhao Mingcheng arched his hand and said: "The difference between this will be the words, whether it is knowledge, or an official, a brother is not as good as a virtuous brother, not to mention the side, the virtuous brother has a good hand, and few people in the world can reach it, anyway, it is far worse for a brother." ”

When Qin Hui heard this, he was also a little complacent, but he did not continue the topic, but said: "At this time, let's not praise each other, I just want to tell you, as an official, you must know how to see the direction of the wind." ”

Zhao Mingcheng was a little puzzled: "The direction of the wind? ”

Qin Hui said with certainty: "Yes, the direction of the wind, let me ask you, Brother Defu, do you know what the wind direction is in the Great Song Dynasty now?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng thought for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

Seeing this, Qin Hui said, "You, you can't even see the direction of the wind in the Great Song Dynasty now, how can you be a good official?" Let me tell you, now the wind direction of the Great Song Dynasty is to negotiate peace, not you and I want to negotiate peace, but the Great Song Dynasty wants to negotiate peace, the official family wants to negotiate peace, and if you don't negotiate peace, the Great Song Dynasty will die, so what we advocate for peace is not only to save the country, but also to follow the footsteps of the official family. ”

Zhao Mingcheng seemed to have an understanding, but he said: "Is the situation really so bad? ”

Qin Hui said: "What do you say? Now, our Great Song Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, if it weren't for this, with my monstrous enmity with Li Yan's evil thief, how could I advocate peace? ”

Zhao Mingcheng said: "The truth of the meeting is the first loyal minister of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Mingcheng is not talented, and he is willing to obey the dispatch of the meeting!" Obviously, Zhao Mingcheng has already figured it out, or rather, Zhao Mingcheng still doesn't want his political life to end here, so he is ready to give it a go.

Seeing that Zhao Mingcheng agreed to negotiate peace, Qin Hui was also very happy - after all, Qin Hui's party had just opened, so now, there are really not many people who can be used under Qin Hui, and it is very important to negotiate peace, and ordinary people are really not good, so Zhao Mingcheng agreed, which also made Qin Hui secretly relieved.

At this time, Qin Hui put his heart into his heart and said: "Brother Defu, you go to Dazhong to discuss peace this time, just in time to bring the eldest sister back for reunion, so as not to fly apart like me and my wife." ”

Zhao Mingcheng, who was at the moment of his comeback, listened to Qin Hui's words, and his expression immediately froze!
