However, this is very bad, if the Liao State is really finished, it does not mean that there will really be Jingkang shame who can't beat the Jin people, but it just means that the current Liao State Gao Fangping doesn't care about it at all, they are an empire with no fighting spirit and rottenness, and they still know them. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is very much in line with the interests of Gao Fangping and the Great Song Dynasty, if the Jin Kingdom is replaced, although the current Great Song Dynasty is not afraid of them, but the Jin Kingdom is indeed a group of bloodthirsty warriors, not the current pot-bellied Liao State, which can really bring too much trouble to the Great Song Dynasty.

At that time, during the war season of the Song and Xia Kingdoms, Tong Guan had such an idea to find a sense of existence and submitted "Northern Strategy" to Cai Jing. However, at that time, Gao Fangping could not be distracted on the battlefield. And Cai Jing and the others haven't thought so far for the time being, they just used Tong Guan's idea as a strategy to blackmail Xiao's insiders to buy time for Gao Fangping to use troops in Western Xia.

But now that Tong Guan has entered Beijing, they must have a plan. It was intended that this strategy that was only used to scare Xiao at that time, and officially implemented it.

Gao Fangping doesn't know the specific situation yet, but the possibility that Lao Cai is dealing with this matter is very large. Because the benefits behind it will also make Lao Cai very enthusiastic.

Lao Cai's mind has completely changed now, and he tacitly acknowledges that he will definitely retire at some point. As a politician, whether he is loyal or treacherous, he always wants to have some lifelong political achievements and have a good reputation to go down in history. There's nothing wrong with that.

The biggest problem is that in this era, the significance of the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty is too great, whether it is strategic significance, political significance, reputation and significance recorded in history, it is incomparable. It can be said that in history, Cai Jingtongguan's Lianjin Mouliao is for these meanings.

The historical background at that time was: Lao Cai was already a public minister who covered the sky with one hand, and he no longer needed to worry about power, of course, he had kung fu to seek a greater political reputation. This is the reason for the policy of the United Fund. He always has to toss something about these people and things.

And now that Gao Fangping is in the Great Song Dynasty, Cai Jing didn't have time to think like this in the days before, and he was busy fighting for power.

Now Lao Cai can be said to have partially admitted defeat, learned how to give up, and got out of the power struggle, once he really let go, he wanted to leave a meaningful political asset, so when he was looking for something to do, he would really be fooled by the mallet Tong Guan to go to the so-called Lianjin Mouliao and plot the land of Yanyun.

In the past, Cai Jing might have been afraid of the Liao State. But now that there is a handsome minister like Gao Fangping in charge, and after the dominance of Western Xia, Lao Cai will have some confidence not to be afraid of the Liao people.

In addition, now that all parties are reporting good news, the finances of the Great Song Dynasty have improved in a real sense for the first time, and they are no longer so tight.

The more Gao Fangping thought about these, the more he felt that there were problems, and these were the reasons for Cai Jing to accept Tong Guanlian's strategy of Jin Mouliao in advance.

Zhao Ji's angle is estimated to be similar, he didn't like military affairs in the past and was afraid of the Liao people, so Cai Xianggong would have great resistance if he wanted to promote this national policy. But now that Zhao Ji's trust in Gao Fangping has reached its peak, with Gao Fangping in charge, Zhao Ji is probably not so afraid of the Liao State, and dares to slowly follow the will of his ancestors and begin to think about the land of Yanyun.

"These mallets don't toss uncomfortable! What kind of plot are you Yanyun, this is an opportunity to sabotage the industrialization and navigation of my Great Song Dynasty, how good is it for a big stupid bear to fall asleep, but you want to change a hungry wolf from the northernmost part to be a neighbor? ”

Gao Fangping muttered and left Kaifeng Mansion quickly.

Gao Fangping has only returned to Beijing now, and they seem to have been fully prepared and planned for a long time.

It is estimated that Kou Lao Xi'er will cry blindly, and his northern peace policy will be destroyed, and this policy will be relatively difficult to stop, because in this era, it seems that this is a good plan no matter how you look at it.

Including Zhang Shuye and Tao Jiefu will support this proposal, the foundation laid by Gao Fangping gave them confidence, coupled with Xiao's mental retardation and corruption, so that their group of sharks saw the terminally ill and weak of the Liao State.

There are no surprises, all of them are sharks, including Zhang Shuye, and after smelling blood, they will begin to fantasize about cutting meat from the weakened Liao State.

The reason why Tong Guan is so keen on this is because this is his last political fight. As a favored minister, Zhao Ji is slowly forgetting the benefits of his childhood. As a marshal, because of the appearance of Gao Fangping, he did not participate in leading troops in the Song Xia National War.

And Gao Fangping won the battle, and the win was brilliant enough, so Tong Guan was anxious, if he didn't find some sense of existence, he himself would become a dispensable person, and he was destined to be further marginalized.

"It's so calculating, Tong Shuai, you took advantage of Cai Jing's intention to do the next big thing for the Great Song Dynasty in the end, what do you call a northern strategy, but a pit strategy." Gao Fangping muttered to himself and quickened his pace.

When I entered the Privy Council, I saw Uncle Zhang, who had more gray hair, sitting on it at night to review the documents.

Gao Fangping walked over and said directly: "Ming Gong, please speak up, do you know about Tong Guan's return to Beijing?" ”

Uncle Zhang squinted at him, and only after approving another document did he put down the brush and said, "You have a strong smell of gunpowder, why did you step on your tail again?" ”

I'm @#¥

He really knows.

Come to think of it, now that the Privy Council has the final say, without the approval of his old Zhang, how dare Tong Guan, the envoy of the Economic Strategy, blatantly leave his post and return to Beijing?

Uncle Zhang said in a reassuring tone: "Don't think too much. Speaking of Tong Guan, the old man in the north knew that not only the old man, but also knew when Tao Jiefu did not retreat, and he was also moved. At that time, you were far away in the northwest, but you were strategizing and controlling the Gao Yu in Beijing to circumvent Xiao's inside. Here you Gao Fangping has made great contributions, and completely let our Great Song Dynasty see clearly what kind of group of people are in power in the Liao State. Therefore, now that the morale of the army has been improved and the finances have improved slightly, Tong Guan strongly suggested adopting a policy of seeking land, which is the reason. Not only Cai Xianggong, but the old man also thinks it is feasible, and the old man is not arbitrary, so he specially asked the retired Tao Jiefu for advice, of course he is also concerned about Yanyun. ”

Gao Fangping said: "But is it really good for you to hide this from me?" ”

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "I think too much." It's not that I want to hide it from you, first, because you can't be separated in Western Xia when you have this idea. Later, when you returned to Beijing, everyone knew that you were tired, so they didn't make a special trip to mention it to you. From the old man's point of view, the place that needs you most is Chengdu Mansion, and I don't tell you because I'm afraid that you will be too careful and won't go to Chengdu. Believe me, now is not the time to really use the army, if you really want to fight, how can the old man not let Tong Guan on the mallet, now it is only at the diplomatic level, after Tong Guan enters Beijing to report on his work, he will choose the opportunity to send an envoy to Liao. ”

"What!"

Gao Fangping was stunned. It has already been decided that Tong Guan will be sent to Liao?

Of course, this is subject to the emperor's approval, so when Zhang Shuye said this, it means that this matter has been set by them.

Seeing that he reacted so much, Uncle Zhang had a headache and said, "Why are you staring at you so widely, the people here owe you money." Tong Guan's envoy was not a special trip to the Jurchen. But at that time, since the Liao State intervened in the affairs of Song and Xia, there was a beginning and an end, and Xiao's letter from Lidi explained that the agreement signed by the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia on the face was to give the Liao State a face and send a copy to the Liao State, so that he could give an account to the Liao Emperor. After all, he was the one who came to envoy at that time, and the so-called came and went, so he Xiao's Lidi officially invited the Great Song Dynasty to visit Liao. Therefore, this mission is a necessary courtesy, and the discretion is only in the selection of people. If you want to blame, blame your picky letter, the official family believes it, and is really considerate of you. He is to appoint those whom he trusts. Cai Jing is old, the old man can't leave, Gao Yu wants to accompany him to preside over the Royal League, and Gao Yu is also responsible for the safety of the Beijing Division. So the people trusted by the official family are you and Tong Guan, you said that you are tired now, and you have only returned from the battlefield, of course the official family will not look for you to envoy again, but find Tong Guan who took the opportunity to promote the northern strategy. Is this hard to understand? ”

Gao Fangping shook his head and said: "It's not difficult to understand, it's just that you guys who are cunning and cunning to cross the river and tear down the bridge, such a major matter also implicates the Western Xia issue, but you are hiding from me, an important minister who personally pacified the Western Xia?" ”

Uncle Zhang said bitterly: "You think too much. It's really not a cover-up, it's just that it didn't make a special notice to you. ”

Gao Fangping looked like a liar, sat on the ground and said, "No matter what you say, you are also a bad person." Xiao's Lidi visited the Song Dynasty because of the Western Xia War, and what he invited at that time must have been me or my father Gao Yu to visit Liao. The pacification of Western Xia is also my peerless contribution. However, in order to suppress me, you intend to put these political fruits on the head of a eunuch. I'm not convinced. ”

"Damn, old man, I'm fed up with you, a second-rate son who cries, makes trouble, hangs himself." Uncle Zhang scolded: "It's because you want to play the profit-taking game, and you don't dare to take too much credit." As for Cai Xianggong, he really doesn't want you to get involved in this matter, and wants to form the results of his independent planning, make him more glorious, and let you be in charge of the work a few years later. There's nothing wrong with that. The old man also advocates the view that you are still young and have been training for a few years. In addition, the old man's arrangement is also in line with your meaning of taking profits, and does not let you be too high-profile politically in a short period of time. ”

Gao Fangping was also a little embarrassed, "That's what I said, but it makes my mind incomprehensible." But for one thing, I like that I don't eat and don't let others eat, of course I want to stop profit and don't want to be in the limelight, but if someone wants to make a mission, but it's not me, it will make me envious, jealous and hateful! ”

Uncle Zhang was also drunk at night.

But speaking of Gao Fangping, this is the virtue. It's normal to have this kind of thought, everyone will have it, but under normal circumstances, other people will hide this thought and find some other reason to pull the calf. Gao Fangping will say it so nakedly directly.

"You ......" Uncle Zhang looked at him helplessly.

"What am I?" Gao Fangping looked confused, "Let's talk about it first." I can't go out, but if I do, I'll go. I had to set the fire, and Tong Guan lit the lamp next to me. At the beginning of the settlement of Xiao, many people sacrificed a lot, I made a lot of money, and Li Qingzhao almost lost his family. I didn't even report these to the court. ”
