Chapter 205: Let's talk about the conditions first
Li Gengyun was not surprised when he heard what Gonggong Liu said. Although the other party chose to stay in Xiangzhou instead of going directly to Nanzhou to find the prince, this is because Gonggong Liu knows that this Hua Teng has a large army in his hands, and only Hua Teng knows who the real prince is. He wasn't sure how loyal Hua Teng was, but he was certain that whoever was tempted by it would waver.
However, since he has stayed in Xiangzhou, and Gonggong Liu has mastered the real heirloom jade chapter and the edict of the first emperor, and arranged for someone to secretly rescue King Tianping, this incident will naturally be put on the agenda.
"I refuse!"
Li Gengyun directly rejected Liu Gonggong's proposal.
"The edict is still in my hands, Mr. Li doesn't think about it?"
"Don't think about it, I still refuse!"
Li Gengyun knew that the edict he destroyed in the court today was not a real edict, but a deliberate edict made by Gonggong Liu on his underwear in order to hide people's eyes, although it was not true, but the content on it was exactly the same, so the edict was indeed to let the Tianping King succeed to the throne.
When Gonggong Liu saw Li Gengyun refuse, he told him that the edict was still there, but he didn't expect Li Gengyun to refuse his proposal, which made him feel that something was wrong. He has the evidence of the Eight Classics, if Li Gengyun agrees to this matter, rescues King Tianping, and helps him ascend the throne smoothly, then he will be the hero of the Great Song Dynasty, and if the matter of recovering the Great Song Dynasty is completed, then his Li Gengyun's credit will definitely not be under anyone. In the face of such a big temptation, why did Li Gengyun choose to refuse?
"Father-in-law Liu's thoughts are understood. King Tianping is an orthodox royal family, welcoming King Tianping to Xiangzhou to ascend the throne in Xiangyang. The restoration of the Great Song Dynasty needs a banner, and with the orthodoxy of King Tianping as the banner, you can call on the people of the world who have the Great Song Dynasty in their hearts to act together against the Northern Yuan. However, Gonggong Liu, have you ever thought that we brought back this Tianping King from Hua Teng, and we brought it back secretly. What do you think Huateng will think? ”
"Here's a very simple example. For example, dogs are very territorial animals. Once another dog spreads wild on his territory and takes away what originally belonged to him, do you think he will jump over the wall in a hurry and everyone will die together? ”
"I think it's too early to welcome the Son of Heaven, not to mention that according to Gonggong Liu, the Son of Heaven is only in his early thirties now, and he is in the prime of life. When we promote the Southern Alliance and complete the unification of the South, it will not be too late to welcome the Son of Heaven! ”
Li Gengyun analyzed the current situation for Liu Gonggong, and he also analyzed the character of people, no matter who it is, what he has is taken away by someone for no reason, and he doesn't get any benefits at all, and in the end, he has to listen to the other party's words, and no one will feel happy about this. Especially Hua Teng, who is the general of Zhennan, with his prestige in the Great Song Dynasty, if this matter is done by Li Gengyun, then what face will he have in the future to be a minister with them?
"However, Mr. Li, now the Great Song Dynasty is in the country, the Son of Heaven is covered with dust, and the prince is in exile. We are bound to raise the banner against the Northern Yuan, and now Xiangzhou is under the rule of the queen and the general, life and production are in good order, the people are rich, and the soldiers are rich and the food is sufficient. But how could the power of Xiangzhou be able to fight against the Northern Yuan, which had already occupied most of the Central Plains? So, I think it's urgent to welcome the King of the Balances. If Mr. Li is unwilling to go, then I will have to ask the queen to decide on this matter. It is believed that the queen will definitely take the Great Song Dynasty as the primary consideration and arrange for the master to rescue the King of Tianping. ”
Liu Gonggong saw that Li Gengyun was still unwilling to rescue the king of Tianping immediately, and he was also anxious, in his opinion, if he wanted to do something, then only to meet the king of Tianping was the most correct way, once the king of Tianping ascended the throne, as long as Hua Teng and they were still Song Chen, they had to listen to the king of Tianping, and the restoration of the Great Song Dynasty was just around the corner. Now that the other party didn't agree to him to rescue, then he said his thoughts, asked Queen Zhao Zhen to come forward, and arranged for the master to rescue King Tianping.
"Father-in-law Liu insisted on this, and I had nothing to say. But if Gonggong Liu really wants to restore the Great Song Dynasty, don't put pressure on the queen. First, you have an edict in your hand, and second, you have a jade medal for the country. But, Grandpa Liu, do you think these two things are suitable for you all the time? ”
When Li Gengyun said this, Gonggong Liu was also stunned on the spot. The edict and the jade seal of the country are in their hands, which is really inappropriate. The jade medal is a symbol of imperial power in the Great Song Dynasty and should be kept by the royal family.
"If King Ping hasn't found it today, these two things can only be kept by me temporarily!"
"It's better to be like this, Gonggong Liu, since you are bent on finding the King of Balance, then I can help you fulfill this wish. It's just ......."
"No! Absolutely not! The edict and the heirloom are both royal things and cannot be faked in the hands of others. ”
When Gonggong Liu heard what Li Gengyun said, he thought that Li Gengyun wanted to let himself use the edict and the jade seal of the country as collateral, so that he would rescue King Tianping. However, the edict and the heirloom jade medal belong to the royal family, and no foreign minister can control these things except for the royal family and responsible officials.
Seeing Gonggong Liu's performance, Li Gengyun was happy in his heart, knowing the other party's thoughts, and also understanding that this Gonggong Liu only had the king of Tianping in his heart, and for the queen, he only considered it from the perspective of imperial power, and recognized that the queen's small court was established to restore the Great Song Dynasty and to be able to raise the banner of anti-Yuan.
"No, no! Gonggong Liu, I don't want to keep this royal thing. It's just that although there is a queen in Xiangzhou now, the so-called order is forbidden, and the queen wants to call on the world, I am afraid that she still needs the jade seal in the hand of Gonggong Liu. Moreover, Father-in-law Liu has always been in control of these, and we naturally understand Father-in-law Liu's good intentions, but if outsiders know about this, I don't know if they will think that Father-in-law Liu wants to support the chapter and self-respect? Is this threatening the queen or Xiangzhou, or the Great Song Dynasty? ”
Although Li Gengyun was smiling when he spoke, the content of his words was like a sharp blade, piercing directly into Gonggong Liu's heart. A charge of self-respect, a charge of threatening the queen, and a charge of causing trouble to the Great Song Dynasty, these three major crimes are enough to make him stink for 10,000 years.
Gonggong Liu is a rare Qingliu internal official, although he is an internal official, but he pays attention to the style and bones, and also pays attention to the evaluation of him by later generations, he doesn't want to become like the eunuchs of the Ten Standing Servants of Great Qin for ten thousand years, in the face of Li Gengyun's words, he finally wavered.
"Is Mr. Li negotiating terms with me?"
