Li Jingsui was worried about Li Jingsui in his eyes, and he said: "Prime Minister Sun is a literati after all, and it is inevitable that he will be inexperienced in dealing with martial artists. ”

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, pondered Li Jingsui's words for a while, and suddenly realized: "What do you mean by this, do you want to use martial artists to deal with martial artists?" ”

"Brother Huang, my brother heard that Liu Xin was unreasonable, maybe for him, he had to use a tough attitude to be effective. Prime Minister Sun is not not tough, but he is a literati after all, and his methods are much gentler, and he can't find Liu Xin's weaknesses. Li Jingsui said.

Li Jun nodded, feeling that there was some truth, but who should be asked to take the position of Prime Minister Sun and negotiate with the Han people, he couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while, so he paced in the courtyard and thought.

Li Jingsui narrowed his eyes, saw the hesitation of the imperial brother, and said: "Imperial brother, this candidate for negotiation, the younger brother thinks that it is better to use a courtier who is born as a military general, such a person has a tougher personality, compared with Liu Xin, he should be on the tip of the needle to have a chance to subdue him." ”

"But in this way, I am afraid that the relationship with the Han State will be very stiff, if it is really a joint army with Wu Yueguo, I am afraid that it will ......" Li Jun was a little worried, and he was indeed afraid of being beaten by Wu Yueren.

Li Jingsui smiled and said, "Brother Huang, so this person must be tough and flexible." ”

Li Jun nodded, that's right, is there such a person in the army? Originally, Dongping Gong Li Hongji had a tough personality, but he also had a stubborn personality and didn't know how to be flexible, so I am afraid it would be difficult to be competent. Li Jing said with some hesitation: "Since the Khitans are here, Prime Minister Sun may be able to come up with a way." "I still pin my hopes on Sun Sheng.

Li Jing stroked his beard and said, "Brother Huang, these few days have passed, and Prime Minister Sun still hasn't come up with a way, which is enough to prove that he is not Liu Xin's opponent." ”

Li Jing sighed slightly, and at this time, Fang Jinzhao, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly walked in under the leadership of the eunuch. Li Jing looked up and saw Fang Jinzhao with an anxious look, and when he arrived at Li Jing's side, he hurriedly gave a salute and said, "Your Majesty, there was news from Suzhou just now, saying that the Zhongwu Jiedu made Qian Wenfeng's troops and horses move frequently, and it seems that there is a trend of going north to Changzhou. ”

Li Jingsui's face changed slightly, and he said, "Brother Huang, it seems that Liu Xin has done it over there." ”

"Humph!" Li Jing snorted coldly, he was very dissatisfied with the Han people and the Wu Yue people, looking at Liu Xin's posture, did he want to start a big war?

Li Jingsui waved his hand and said, "Fang Shangshu, this must be kept secret for the time being in advance, and it must not be leaked." ”

"Wechen Province." Fang Jinzhao said, glanced at the emperor with a very bad face, and quickly retreated.

Li Jing said: "Brother Huang, it seems that the negotiation matter must be finalized as soon as possible. ”

Li Jing paced, raised his head suddenly, and said, "If you use that Yang Lian, will it have an effect?" ”

Li Jingsui shook his head and said, "You can use it, but before there is no result, it is not good to say." ”

"Hmm!" Li Jing nodded and continued to think.

Not long after Lin Renzhao left, a special person came to Yang Lian's inn, a eunuch with a holy decree, he secretly announced the decree and asked Yang Lian to preside over the peace talks with the Han State, Yang Lian was a little surprised, what a big deal to negotiate peace with the Han State, how to hand it over to him? Although he was puzzled in his heart, Yang Lian still accepted the holy decree.

Yang Lian took out a piece of silver from his arms, about five taels, and stuffed it to the eunuch, saying, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”

The eunuch narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "This is the business of the miscellaneous family. But one hand had taken the silver firmly in its hand.

Yang Lian smiled slightly and said, "Yang Lian still has some things that are unknown, I don't know if my father-in-law can teach me?" ”

"General Yang, please speak." The eunuch also seemed very polite.

Yang Lian asked Xiao Erhei to serve tea, and the two sat on the soft couch, sipping tea. Yang Lian said: "I don't know what Your Majesty means, what will it be?" ”

The eunuch nodded and said, "I heard that after Your Majesty talked about it with King Qi, he asked the Miscellaneous family to take the holy decree and read it, and I am afraid that King Qi knows better the meaning." ”

"Thank you, father-in-law." Yang Lian saluted him.

After a few sips of tea, the eunuch hurried back to the palace to resume his life. Yang Lian thought for a while, cleaned up, and hurried towards the Qi Palace.

In the palace of the King of Qi, the county lord of Huairou stretched out his white and tender hand and shook it in front of Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, "Father, is this bracelet good-looking?" ”

"Good-looking, good-looking." Li Jing, the king of Qi, had thoughts, so he was perfunctory.

The county lord of Huairou saw that his father was absent-minded, pursed his lips, and said, "Father, you are perfunctory to me again." ”

Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, smiled, pointed to the wrist of the county lord of Huairou, and said, "Who said that?" The king's daughter is beautiful, and she looks good in anything. ”

While speaking, the butler came in and said, "King Qi, General Yang is here." ”

The county lord of Huairou turned red and hurriedly dodged. Li Jingsui touched his beard and said, "Please let him in." ”

Yang Lian came in, saluted Li Jing, and said, "Yang Lian has seen King Qi. ”

"No need to be polite." Li Jing, the king of Qi, waved his hand, and then asked people to serve fragrant tea, and said, "You are here this time to negotiate with Liu Xin." ”

Yang Lian nodded and said, "It stands to reason that to negotiate with Liu Xin, at least a member of the imperial court or a child of the royal family, Yang Lian is just an official from the fifth grade, how can he be qualified to preside over the negotiation." ”

"You don't have to be presumptuous." Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, said with a smile, "I won't tell you, I got the news today, Wu Yue people stationed troops in Suzhou, made an attack posture, and wanted to attack Changzhou, according to the king's guess, they wanted to cooperate with Liu Xin's negotiations." The imperial brother felt that this matter was important, and Prime Minister Sun was not competent, and under the prompting of this king, the imperial brother thought of you. This is a good opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and it depends on whether you can negotiate smoothly. ”

"What the imperial brother means, I don't want to go to war with Wu Yue and Han, but I want to maintain an equal status with Han, of course, if you can give some money appropriately, it's okay." Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, said.

Yang Lian was slightly stunned, it turned out that Li Jing actually had this kind of plan, Yang Lian suddenly had an unspeakable emotion in his heart, on the one hand, he was very disappointed in Li Jing, and on the other hand, he thought that it was Li Jing's incompetence that Yang Lian had more opportunities. After figuring out this section, Yang Lian stood up and gave a salute to retire.

King Qi's words made him understand Li Jing's bottom line, and in this negotiation, Yang Lian knew what to do. That night, Yang Lian didn't sleep, so he went to Honglu Temple. Liu Xin and his guards lived in the Honglu Temple, and Yang Lian did not look for them, but found the official in charge of the Honglu Temple.

This person's name was Wang Ze, and he was specially responsible for receiving foreign envoys. This person is exquisite, just a few days, he has a more detailed understanding of Liu Xin, heard that Yang Lian took over from Prime Minister Sun to be responsible for negotiating with the Han Liu Xin, so he told the things of the past few days.

Yang Lian listened, and frowned slightly, this Liu Xin is really domineering, he yells three and four in Honglu Temple every day, and the first thing he says when he sees people is "Straight lady thief." The officials of Honglu Temple are often scolded by him and can't straighten their waists, that is, Sun Sheng, as the prime minister of the Southern Tang Kingdom, was also scolded by Liu Xin. Sun Sheng is a literati, and he is a man of a day, when it comes to that person, where can he compare to Liu Xin? In the past few days, Sun Sheng was scolded by Liu Xin so badly that the negotiations could not be carried out at all.

Wang Ze whispered about the events of the past few days, and Yang Lian understood that this Liu Xin was not easy to deal with. While the two were talking, a small servant who worked in Honglu Temple hurriedly walked over and said, "Master Wang, that person is making trouble again." ”

Wang Ze's face changed, and he was about to stand up, but Yang Lian stretched out his hand to hold him down, and said, "Master Wang, don't be impatient, leave this matter to me to deal with." ”

Pan Chengyou, the secretary of Honglu Temple, walked in from outside the house, and when he saw Yang Lian, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "It turned out to be General Yang." ”

Yang Lian said strangely: "Do you know me?" ”

"I am originally from Fujian. I heard Chen Tie and Lin Renzhao talk about the general's name, and I have also seen the general. Pan Chengyou said with a smile.

Yang Lian suddenly realized, so he glanced at him and said, "Today I received an order from His Majesty to replace Prime Minister Sun to negotiate with that Liu Xin, so come and take a look to understand the situation." ”

Pan Chengyou nodded and said, "Master Wang knows Liu Xin very well, and with his help, General Yang will definitely gain something." ”

Yang Lian said: "Master Wang has already told me a lot, and he also has a certain understanding of this person. ”

As he spoke, the sound of hurried footsteps sounded, Yang Lian raised his head, and before he could see the front clearly, he heard a "bang", the door was kicked away, and a tall bearded man appeared in front of Yang Lian's eyes, the man swept the room and said, "Where is Sun Sheng?" Where have the others gone? Why don't you learn from the turtle and hide? ”

Pan Chengyou said in a low voice: "General Yang, this person is Liu Xin. ”

Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Xin carefully, Liu Xin glanced at him, only to see a young man, staring at him, his eyes were a little unkind, he couldn't help but snort coldly, and said, "Who are you?" ”

"You don't care who I am, I just ask you, did you kick that kick just now?" Yang Lian said lightly.

"Yes, that's what I played, what do you want?" Liu Xin hugged his arms, raised his head, and looked at Yang Lian, his eyes full of sarcasm.

"Good." Yang Lian said lightly, looked at Wang Ze, and said, "Master Wang, you have to write down this kick." ”

Wang Ze didn't understand what Yang Lian meant, but since Yang Lian replaced Prime Minister Sun and negotiated with Liu Xin, he had to listen to this. He immediately nodded and said, "Oh! ”

"Straight lady thief, what can you do if you write it down?" Liu Xin smiled coldly, but he didn't care.

Yang Lian smiled: "Don't worry, you will know sooner or later." ”

Liu Xin snorted coldly, Sun Sheng has no way to take him, how capable is this person now? He looked at Yang Lian with great disdain, swaggered out, and said: "Tell Sun Sheng, let him give the old man a satisfactory result tomorrow, otherwise, I will return to Kaifeng immediately, let the imperial brother send troops to attack Jinling, and let Li Jing shine my imperial brother's shoes!" ”

Yang Lian looked at the back of Liu Xin leaving, sneered, and instructed Pan Chengyou and Wang Ze, "From tomorrow onwards, Honglu Temple will not provide any meals for Liu Xin and his party. ”

A gleam flashed in Pan Chengyou's eyes, but he didn't speak.

Wang Ze said: "General Yang, then Liu Xin is an unreasonable person, if he is not good at eating and drinking, I am afraid he will make trouble!" ”

Yang Lian waved his hand and said, "You listen to me, if something happens, I will bear it." ”
