Chapter 107: Plan and act
When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he narrowed his eyes, if Yang Lian handed him over to Yelu Haili, it would definitely be a dead end. Zhao Hongyin pursed his lips, things have developed to this point, he is already desperate, and his only thought is to try to redeem it.
"This matter has nothing to do with others, it is all my idea, and I hope that General Yang will let others go in large quantities. Whether it is dead or alive, I, Zhao Hongyin, will bear it with all my might, and I will never frown. Zhao Hongyin said, although he knew there was little hope.
Yelu Haili sneered, how could he believe Zhao Hongyin's words? After sneering twice, Yelu Haili said, "Zhao Hongyin, are you coaxing a three-year-old child by this?" β
Zhao Hongyin also knew that it was impossible to hide it, his face turned red, and said, "If you don't believe it, I can't do it." β
Yang Lian raised his eyelids slightly, looked at Zhao Hongyin carefully, and saw that he had a resolute gaze, but he was also a man, for most people in later generations, Zhao Kuangyin was much more famous than Zhao Hongyin. Although he doesn't have much affection for the Han Kingdom, Yang Lian is in the art of balancing, and he will not exterminate the Han Kingdom, otherwise the Khitan will be a huge threat to the people of the Central Plains if he goes south.
"Yelu envoy, this person committed a crime in my Datang territory and violated the laws of Datang, this Zhao family father and son, in addition to that Liu Xin, are handed over to this general, I believe that Ben will give a satisfactory answer to Yelu envoy." Yang Lian said, bowing towards Yeluhaili.
Yelu Haili hesitated, Liu Xin sent someone to assassinate him, how could he not be angry and angry? He could see Yang Lian's friendliness to the Khitan from all kinds of signs, but he took revenge very personally and pulled Liu Xin's tendons before he could relieve the hatred in his heart.
At this time, Yang Gon came over and whispered something in Yeluhai's ear, Yeluhaili looked suddenly enlightened, and said with a smile: "Since it happened in Datang." Just leave it to General Yang to dispose of! β
Yang Lian nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you Yelu envoy." β
The scribe walked over with a scroll in his hand, and at the time just now, the scribe and Yang Gon had already written the contents of the peace treaty, and each side held a copy, and each showed it to Yang Lian and Yelu Haili. Yang Lian hurriedly read it. Nodding slightly, he said, "Present this thing to Your Majesty as soon as possible." β
The scribe answered and withdrew.
"Messenger of Jerod, are you satisfied with this peace treaty?" Yang Lian asked.
Yelu Haili nodded and said, "The Tang Dynasty has a deep friendship with the Khitan, and it has been inherited by General Yang, I will rush back as soon as possible and report this matter to my father." "Jerodhaili is a messenger, but to be precise. Not a messenger of the Khitan, but a messenger of Mada. What he can represent is Mada, not Khitan. If the Tang Dynasty wants to form a formal alliance with the Khitan, there is still some way to go.
Yang Lian also understood what Yelu Haili meant, this peace treaty was only a first draft, and if the Tang Emperor agreed, Datang would reach a preliminary agreement with Ma Da. He immediately smiled and said, "Ye Lu envoy, I was frightened this night. Ben will take Zhao Hongyin, Zhao Kuangyin and others away, and Ye Lu's envoy should rest in peace earlier. β
Yelu Haili nodded and said, "There is General Lao Yang." β
Yang Lian commanded Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and others to take away Zhao Hongyin, Zhao Kuangyin and others, Yelu Haili carefully looked at the peace treaty, five hundred war horses are nothing to the Khitans. And it's not for nothing, on the contrary, as tea became popular in the Middle and Tang Dynasties, the nobility of the Khitan upper class also began to drink tea, but. With the war at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Khitans got less and less tea, and the value of tea was comparable to gold. This time, I got 300 quintals of dried tea from Datang, which can be described as a big profit.
At this time, it was late at night, Liu Xin still did not fall asleep, but paced in the house, whether he could destroy the alliance between the Tang Dynasty and the Khitans was of great significance to the Han State. If Yelu Haili was successfully killed, the Tang Dynasty would not be able to explain to the Khitans at all, and there would be no possibility of an alliance between the two, and no matter who the Han State fought with, the probability of fighting on both the northern and southern fronts in the future would be greatly reduced.
At least an hour has passed, there is no news from Zhao Hongyin's side, Liu Xinzhong has no bottom, and he can't help but stand up, his brows furrowed, and it was printed into a deep "Sichuan" character. Suddenly, in the middle of the night, the sound of footsteps gradually sounded, Liu Xin's palms trembled slightly, and Zhao Hongyin finally came back.
In order to increase the success rate, Liu Xin sent almost everyone out, leaving only a small servant by his side. When the little servant heard the voice, he hurriedly stood up and opened the door. The light shot out of the door, and the vision gradually became clear, Liu Xin walked outside the door and was immediately stunned.
At first glance, Liu Xin saw the gray-faced Zhao Hongyin, although he was not tied, he was also quite embarrassed, and slowly walked over under the escort of several Shenwu soldiers. By Zhao Hongyin's side, it was Zhao Kuangyin and several dead soldiers.
Liu Xin's head suddenly "Buzz!" With a bang, as if he had been hit hard, how could he not understand that Zhao Hongyin had been arrested. It's just that he doesn't understand, how can he be recognized by the Tang people? At this time, Yang Lian came in with a smile on his face.
"King Cai hasn't slept so late, isn't he waiting for someone?" Yang Lian said lightly.
Liu Xin's lips squirmed, and he was shocked for a while, not knowing what to say.
Yang Lian waved his hand, signaled Lin Renzhao, Chen Tie and others to release Zhao Hongyin, Zhao Kuangyin and others, and said: "King Cai, you came from afar, saying that it was for the peace of the two countries, but Ben Jiang did not see any sincerity. You instigated Wu Yue to garrison Suzhou, and let Zhao Hongyin and others assassinate the Khitan envoys, their hearts should be punished! β
Liu Xin narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Lian, he was a little unsure of Yang Lian's attitude, so he didn't rush to speak.
Yang Lian snorted coldly, and instructed Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie, "The general will order, from now on, to strictly guard King Cai and others, and not to go out of this door for half a step, if someone doesn't listen, you can cut it first and then play, if something happens, this will be responsible!" β
"Whoa!" Chen Tie agreed.
Although Lin Renzhao and Yang Lian were both commanders, Yang Lian was the only one who looked forward, and immediately arched his hand and said, "Obey." β
Yang Lian walked out of the door with his sleeves flicked, he wanted to give Liu Xin a time to react. Walking out of Honglu Temple, the sky was already dark, and Yang Lian rushed towards the palace. Today coincides with the day of the court meeting, and at the time of the third watch, many ministers got up early, or rode war horses, or sat in sedan chairs, and rushed to the imperial city to participate in the court meeting.
Yang Lian rode a war horse and met many people along the way, but he was just a commander from Wupin. In this Jinling, it's nothing. walked to the Qinhuai River, and it happened that Li Hongji came. Li Hongji rode a war horse, followed by several guards, looking arrogant and domineering.
Li Hongji saw that Yang Lian was alone, and couldn't help but snort coldly. said: "Commander Yang, you got up so early, did you want to attend the court meeting?" β
Yang Lian smiled slightly, the scribe had already sent the excerpt into the palace, and the Son of Heaven would inevitably summon him when he got the news. However, Yang Lian understood what Li Hongji meant, and a mere commander from Wupin was not qualified to participate in the court meeting at all. Li Hongji is laughing at him.
"Dong Pinggong, have you slept soundly lately? I heard that a few days ago, there was a fire in the house of the Hanshe people, Dongping Gong should be careful. Yang Lian mocked quietly.
Li Hongji's face changed, Yang Lian's words seemed to have something to do with the fire in Han Xizai's mansion, but he had no evidence, and he couldn't convict Yang Lian based on this sentence alone, so he had to snort coldly and said, "Will there be a fire in this father's mansion?" I don't know for the time being. But I am sure that someone is going to suffer today. β
"Oh? Dongping Gong is unexpectedly unpredictable. It's a shame not to be a Taoist priest. Yang Lian said, turned the horse's head and left.
Li Hongji was blocked for a sentence, half speechless, thought about it, puffed up and shouted: "Go!" The guards picked up the lanterns and continued towards the palace.
The closer you get to the Royal Palace. There are more and more people, Yang Lian doesn't know many people, and many dignitaries don't even know Yang Lian, and they are very surprised to see Yang Lian dressed as a military attachΓ©. Yang Lian was not in a hurry to go in. Pacing outside the palace, after half a pillar of incense, Sun Sheng also came, and with the support of the two palace maids, Sun Sheng walked out.
Yang Lian's pupils shrank slightly, Sun Sheng, like Han Xizai, had a luxurious personality, saying that they were not corrupt, Yang Lian didn't believe it at all. In the future, maybe we can start from this aspect and bring down Sun Sheng.
When Sun Sheng saw Yang Lian, two mistes erupted from his nostrils, His Majesty seized his power, and instead let Yang Lian negotiate with the Han people and even the Khitans, how could Sun Sheng not be angry? However, according to the news he received, the relationship between Yang Lian and the Han people was too stiff, and the peace talks had been blocked.
"Humph!" Sun Sheng is the prime minister, how could he talk to Yang Lian, an official from the fifth grade, so he snorted coldly and walked away from Yang Lian's side.
"Prime Minister Sun, is your throat uncomfortable?" Yang Lian said later.
Sun Sheng couldn't help but stop a little strangely, looked at Yang Lian coldly, and said, "The old man is in good health, why is his throat uncomfortable?" β
"If Prime Minister Sun wasn't feeling well, how could his nostrils smoke just now? Could it be that Prime Minister Sun used to be a folk artist and learned acrobatics? Yang Lian looked worried and surprised.
In fact, it was already the end of summer and the beginning of autumn at this time, although the weather was still hot, but in the morning, there was still a little coolness, and there was a cold air between the breaths, which was not surprising, but Yang Lian's words made Sun Sheng very depressed, but he was unwilling to explain to Yang Lian, so he snorted coldly, turned around and left, thinking that I want you to look good today.
Yang Lian narrowed his eyes and watched Sun Sheng leave, during this time, whether Liu Xin could be the same was very important to Yang Lian. However, even if Liu Xin can't figure it out, Yang Lian will force him. In this matter, Yang Lian has taken the initiative.
While thinking about it, Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, also paced, and when he saw Yang Lian, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then looked at Yang Lian with some concern, and said in a low voice: "Yang Lian, this king has just gotten the news, Sun Sheng, Chang Mengxi and others have jointly written a book, and you are not effective in handling things." β
"What does it mean to be ineffective?" Yang Lian smiled, looking heartless.
Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, said with some concern: "It's not a matter of peace talks with the Han Kingdom?" A few days have passed, negotiations have not yet begun, and even the relationship with Liu Xin has become more and more tense. β
"Jumping beam clown, King Qi doesn't have to worry." Yang Lian said lightly.
Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, knew that Yang Lian often planned and then moved, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words, and said, "Yang Lian, what do you mean?" β
"Today's court meeting, but with Sun Sheng, Chang Mengxi and others making trouble, King Qi can only watch from the sidelines, and there is no need to participate in it." Yang Lian said.
"This, how can this work?" Li Jing, the king of Qi, shook his head again and again.
"King Qi, if you can trust Yang Lian, just do it, Yang Lian will naturally have some arrangements!" Yang Lian looked very confident.
Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, looked at him with a determined face, sighed, and left without speaking.
