After Zhao Guanjia instructed a few ministers who "didn't know the severity" to bring up the matter of the truce in the court, he thought it was a momentum, but after a few days, he found that there was no movement in this matter? The courtiers should still work and go home, why didn't anyone mention this stubble?

It's not that this proposal is unpopular, since the Song and Jin Incident in the last year of Xuanhe, the imperial court has used troops for many years, and the impact on the national strength and people's strength is obvious. Now the situation is not completely reversed, at least the Jurchens are difficult to pose a serious threat to the Great Song Dynasty. Of course, some people wonder whether to make a temporary truce for a period of time and recuperate with the people.

The reason why no one pays attention to this stubble is not that they don't want to pay attention to it, but they don't dare. The current situation in the imperial court is that Xu Liang holds the administrative power as a "major military matter of Pingzhang", although he does not say that he covers the sky with one hand, but if he wants to do anything with him, he must first weigh his own catties. The prime minister made it clear that he wanted to regain the lost land in one go, and this kind of posture occupies the commanding heights of morality, you can't say that he is wrong. Under such circumstances, it is easy to be criticized for presiding over the peace conference rashly and offending those in power, so although the ministers know what to expect, they do not take a stand.

They have to get by, but the emperor can't do it, Empress Liu is urging when she sees heaven and earth, and Liu Guangguo in front of her also asks for instructions from time to time, and Yelu Ma Wu is still waiting for a letter. Zhao Jin is in a dilemma, this momentum has not been created, can it be spread out directly? If you really provoke it, Xu Liang will not agree with the first one, he is not only an important minister of the country, the head of the government, but also has the merit of supporting it, and it is really ...... to veto his opinion

On this day, Xu Liang, as usual, went to court, dined, and then went to the Zhongshu Hall to work.

A few days ago, there were always a few people who were advocating a truce and a halt to the war, but no one mentioned the restoration of the people's strength this morning. He didn't care, and after the dispersal of the dynasty, he sat down in Zhongshu, ready to read the official documents coming from all over the country.

Because the central organs practice division and rule to save trouble, several deputy ministers have their own responsible aspects to save him a lot of trouble. Don't think that this will weaken his power, the deputy prime minister can read the official documents and can also criticize, but in the event of a major event, he finally decided to make a decision and get him here. Therefore, what is on his desk are all important domestic matters. Xu Liu approved them one by one, and put a stack of those who wanted to be sent down for execution immediately, and put a stack of those who needed to go through the motions at the emperor's place.

When he approved the last book, he found that this was a book from the Huainan Xuanfu Division. After opening it, it was indeed the handwriting of Liu Guangguo, the "Xuanfu Envoy of Quanhuainan". Guozhang still reported the situation in Huainan in the book, as well as the situation of the enemy and me, etc., Xu Liu didn't feel anything.

But in the second half, Liu Guangguo changed his words and mentioned an incident. It is said that Yelu Mawu, the commander of the Jin army in Shandong, sent an envoy to the front of the army, and saw that in his words, it was revealed that Jin Ting had the intention of reconciliation with the south. As the minister of Xuanfu who commanded the army abroad, it was inconvenient for him to make a claim, so he asked the imperial court whether to contact him.

Xu Liang spread the notebook on the desk, leaned back in the back of the chair and sucked it in his mouth, and muttered: "Jin Ren took the initiative to show favor? They just won in Shandong, didn't they have plans to win and seek peace? After a few moments of saying this, a smile appeared on his face. Why?

Do you think that the Jurchens have just won the battle and brought back the Shenwu Left Army, which can be regarded as a successful counterattack, right? If the Jurchens had that strength, they could take this opportunity to demonstrate to the south and even prepare to invade the south again. But now the other party doesn't do this, but takes the initiative to show goodwill. What does this mean? It shows that the Jurchens are really not good! If I don't clean you up now, will I wait for you to recover?

It's ridiculous that those short-sighted people in the DPRK and China are still clamoring for a truce all day long, and now if they are truce, they will fight in the future, but it will not be so easy.

When he thought of this, his eyes fell on the notebook and saw the annotation of Qin Hui, the governor of the political affairs, behind him. "Beiyi shows weakness, or we can talk about Shandong."

"This Qin Huizhi, what do you think? Will the Jurchens give Shandong to you for nothing? If it was really that easy, what soldiers would Xu Jiu bring to fight? Xu Liu finished laughing, picked up the pen and marked Qin Hui's annotations... , then took the notebook and walked out of the office hall. When he arrived outside Qin Hui's house, he called: "Qin participates in politics." ”

After a while, Qin Hui came out and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"I just read Liu Guangguo's book, it involves Beiyi, I need to ask the saint for instructions, let's go."

Xu Liudao, after finishing speaking, walked outside. Because Qin Hui is responsible for this aspect, he must be accompanied to comply with the rules.

Qin Hui didn't move behind him, looked at Xu Liu's back, lowered his eyelids and thought for a moment, and then followed. One is one and two ministers are walking in the big interior, Xu Liu is strutting in front, and Qin Hui is also following closely behind. The inner shì in the palace were obviously accustomed to this situation, and no one took a second look.

When he arrived outside the Qinzheng Hall, Xu Liangcai turned around and said: "These tricks of the Jurchens can't be deceived even by children. ”

As soon as Qin Hui heard this, he knew the attitude of his boss, and estimated his proposal, but he didn't look into it, so he said: "Naturally, only the prime minister is the first to look forward." ”

Xu Liu chuckled, stepped forward to ask Nei shì to report, entered the hall, and after saluting, the emperor asked the reason. He presented the notebook, and without waiting for Zhao Jin to ask, he said: "Huainan Liu Xuanfu reported that Jin Shuai Ma Wu sent an envoy to the front of the army, and took the initiative to show goodwill, which meant to make peace, so he asked the imperial court. This Jurchen delay tactic is just a tactic. ”

Do you say that Zhao Jinneng doesn't know about this? Still pretending to read the book again, he suddenly said: "Hey, Liu Xuanfu handed the book to the court, why was it so hasty?" How do you still apply it underneath? ”

Xu Liumian did not change: "Back to Your Majesty, it was the annotation of the Minister of Zhongshu, and the minister felt that it was inappropriate, so he crossed it out." ”

Zhao Jin didn't see anything unusual, but said: "But I don't know what is written?" ”

Xu Liu's brows furrowed slightly, feeling that something was wrong, and after being silent for a while, he turned sideways and said, "Qin is here to participate in politics, Your Majesty can ask him." "Qin Hui was brought back to the central government by him, and he has always been his right-hand man, and the two have worked together for several years and have a tacit understanding. Xu Liu was not worried, because Qin Hui would definitely not tell the truth, just find a reason to prevaricate.

Qin Hui lowered his head and said in a normal manner: "Back to Your Majesty, after reading Liu Xuanfu's book, the minister thought that he could take this opportunity to hook back to Shandong, so he approved it." Thinking about it at the moment, it's really a bit sloppy. ”

Xu Liang's heart was suddenly a little unhappy, but it was not easy to attack in front of the emperor. I only heard Zhao Guanjia say: "In this way, does Xu Qing advocate contact with the Jin people?" ”！。
