The king of Dongxia raised 100,000 troops to break the carving yin, smashed the yellow dragon, and the night could reach the long moon, and the government and the opposition had already been shaken.

The emperor's envoy was dispatched almost immediately, with anger accusing Dongxia of ignoring Bai Shanshan's agreement, but the court caused a fierce turmoil, and the emperor aimed his gloomy eyes at the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty. Although he didn't dare to make a slight move at this time, he was just soothing, releasing and clarifying...... He even contrivedly said that his respect for Confucianism and Taoism has never changed, but in his heart he highly suspected that it was a war of internal and external collusion. He has also repeatedly scrutinized the candidates for organizing military and civilian resistance, but he is also interested in arming? But he had no faith.

His envoy was hung in the carving yin, and when the envoy came out of his residence, he could see a steady stream of Dongxia soldiers marching forward through the main road, and the strong Dongxia soldiers trampled the snow to the ground, and the horse dung and cow dung were enough for the children to pick up dung to finish the fat field one acre after another, and even they sent people into the mountains, and the envoy suspected that they were looking for usable trees to build siege equipment. The envoy had no confidence in keeping the Yellow Dragon.

The anxious messenger only wants Changyue to know all this.

Diaoyin is too close to Changyue, since there is a high slave, the ruggedness between the high slave and the Louguan, there are few nomads in history who enter Beijing from this road, but if you go to Beijing from here, after Huanglong, you will go directly to Gyeonggi.

In fact, he didn't need to pass on the news, Dongxia warmed up under Huanglong City, and the army was overwhelming, and the emperor's cronies had already seen it and passed it back.

The emperor who is like an ant in a hot pot has already moved the capital.

However, before moving the capital, out of expediency, he decided to summon Daoist Zhang Guo to ask for a plan, but in fact, he let this old Taoist of the Huashan faction, who may have colluded with Dongxia, open his conditions.

There is only one prescription prescribed by Zhang Guodao: cultivating virtue.

How to cultivate virtue?

First of all, pro-virtuous ministers are far from villains, pro-Confucianism and Taoism are far from Buddhism, so that Confucianism and Taoism can rest assured; Secondly, it is necessary to sincerely negotiate peace with Dongxia, so that Jingkang will have the moral upper hand, so that Dongxia will tear up the agreement, and the world will have the same hatred and hatred; Finally, the land allocated to the monks was given to the meritorious soldiers, and the soldiers were encouraged to defend the long moon.

After seeing the eyes and send them away, the emperor was sneering.

A monk hid in his curtain, and Zhang Guo was gone, and he came out.

The emperor looked at Zhang Guo's back and asked him, "Do you see clearly?" ”

The monk said, "I see it clearly." ”

The emperor said, "This Taoist is said to have unpredictable powers, can the Buddha give him death?" ”

The monk did not hesitate and said, "The Buddha has eighteen arhats, which is enough to give him one death." ”

The emperor said, "Not now. The limelight has passed, and it's up to you to do it, so that he dies quietly. He calls himself an immortal, and he has walked through the deep mountains and old forests, and there are many opportunities to start, do you understand what I mean? ”

Monks are the best people of Buddhism, and they naturally understand.

He asked again, "What is the Venerable Bodhidharma doing?" ”

The monk followed him closely and said softly, "Master, his old man should go and clean the portal today." ”

The emperor asked rhetorically: "That monk Hui? ”

The monk said, "Yes, it's that monk." He wanted to set up another door and go to Eastern Xia to preach. ”

The Emperor fell silent, which had little to do with the urgent situation at hand.

His mind jumped quickly, and he commanded: "Chuan Lu Palace." He went to exchange credentials with the Eastern Xia mission before. ”

Soon, Lu Gong came up to meet him in his robe.

The emperor looked at him and did not say a word.

He had to take the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, the ministers feel that it is not appropriate to move, and peace talks are the best." ”

The emperor asked him, "Can't you resist it?" ”

This is a language trap, and it is indeed impossible to resist, but if Lu Gong answers, the emperor feels that a courtier who has no confidence in the court is afraid that there will be problems in loyalty, especially a capable minister like Lu Gong.

Lu Gong said: "Can you resist it, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will ask the Imperial Forest Army, ask the generals, the reason why the ministers advocate peace talks is because they think that Bai Mountain's first battle, Dongxia is willing to negotiate peace with us, and he shouldn't tear up the agreement so quickly, he must blame me Jingkang for not fulfilling the promise made by Bai Dengshan." When our country is in need of recuperation and recuperation, it is better to avoid the edge for the time being than to send the army and the people to fight to the death. ”

He said again: "Your Majesty, think about the erosive Chenzhou, Your Majesty, think about it again, if Chenzhou is gone, how will the cotton just obtained be fed?" ”

The emperor said in a low voice: "Are you sure that the negotiation will be successful?" Dia Bird is no longer in sight of my envoys. ”

Lu Gong glanced at the monk standing beside the emperor, hesitated for a moment and said, "There are some things that I don't know if the ministers should say or not, why don't you send Dong Taishi?" ”

The emperor thought about his grandfather and said with a wry smile: "He may be able to see Dia Bird, but can he negotiate peace?" ”

Lu Gong said in a low voice: "I have to see him." If you can't see you again, the soldiers of Dongxia Mansion will swarm to Huanglong's city tower like locusts, kicking off the prelude to the war, is it still easy to stop? ”

The emperor fell into deep thought.

Lu Gong said: "If my father is still here, let him go, no matter what, I can't let the hungry dog see the meat, once he Dia Bird can see Gyeonggi, it will not be easy for him to leave." Even if he came to threaten and threaten the emperor, when he arrived in Gyeonggi, he gave him an illusion that the long moon could fall, would he still be willing to stop? Therefore, we must hurry, we must hurry up, in order to show sincerity, Your Majesty will now order the opening of the field, and signal us to honor the agreement made by Bai Mountain. ”

The emperor asked him, "How can he be so weak?" ”

Lu Gong said again: "He stole into Diaoyin City, and there was no decent war, he didn't know the truth and reality." And the imperial court, what it needs most now is time, if there is time, it can organize the army and the people, it can mobilize the troops from afar, it can mobilize the whole country, as long as it talks peace, whether he blackmails or not, it can win time. ”

The emperor looked at Lu Gong jealously.

This little man, who is not good-looking, seems to be able to really clear the clouds and fog on the situation. In fact, he asked the generals, including Yang Du, no one was sure of winning, Yang Du said so, even if Dia Bird's army was not 100,000, half of it, it was already a victory or defeat, especially in Gyeonggi, once it suffered serious damage, the young and strong soldiers and good families were gone, the foundation was unstable, and the Quartet would be in turmoil.

That is, you can't beat it without saying it directly.

If you can't beat it, you can either move the capital and run, or you can only talk.

The emperor stood up abruptly and demanded, "Now go to the Taishi Mansion." Lu Aiqing now thinks about the bottom line of peace talks, and I only believe in you in peace talks. ”

The emperor really felt life and death.

In the middle of the night, Dong Guozhang, Lu Gong and others set off.

Hurry up and hurry, arrive at Huanglong at dawn, deliver the news to the Dongxia people under the city, and be sent to Diaoyin at noon.

When he arrived in Diaoyin, he had to rely on the old and sell the old, and began to knock people everywhere with his cane, looking for Dia Bird. In the evening, Diao, who could not hide, met with them and made a number of conditions on the spot:

1. Jingkang's promised field will be fully open within 10 days, no matter how far away the east and west is, and how difficult it is to transmit news, it must be fully opened within 10 days;

2. The snow in the north is heavy this year, and Jingkang must immediately prepare 100,000 pieces of cotton cloth to supply Dongxia;

3. Dongxia can not interfere in the suppression of the rebellion in Chenzhou, but it must be supervised by Tuoba Xiaoxiao throughout the whole process, and must not endanger ordinary people, whether it is Yong, Tuoba or other tribes;

Fourth, it is not allowed to let Taokan, who is hated by the Tangut people, lead the troops, lest the surrounding Dongxia troops enter Chenzhou in anger;

5. At the invitation of the people of Diaoyin, Diaoyin was leased to Dongxia for ten years;

Sixth, Diaoyin, as an important town in Eastern Xia that punishes Jingkang at any time, shall not be stationed in Jingkang within 30 miles, and shall not obstruct the entry and exit of the people on both sides;

Sixth, Diaoyin must reopen the university, and no one shall be obstructed from enrolling;

7. Moved Qin Fen to Huanglong and retired under the care of the Dongxia people;

8. Send the prince to be held hostage at once;

9. Set aside Changyue East City and lease it to Dongxia for ten years;

10. Jingkang is a minister to fulfill the obligation of being a minister, every winter solstice, Jingkang must send an embassy to Tongjing to worship, the Dongxia royal family has a wedding and funeral, Jingkang wants to enter the court, Jingkang has to abolish the state lord, to report to Tongjing, by the Dongxia to decide whether to canonize or not.

……

In this way, Dongxia promised not to increase troops in Jingkang for ten years.

A series of conditions were listed, Lu Gong's head was low, and Dong Guozhang was excited to jump to his feet, he pulled and pulled, because he knew that if he didn't agree, it might be this winter, Jingkang might have to destroy the country, even if he couldn't destroy it, he would be disabled, and then accept more harsh peace talks.
