The demands brought by the envoys of the Xia State were unanimously opposed by the ministers of the court, and thanks to the complete victory of the Northern Expeditionary Army, even the courtiers were able to straighten their waists and speak, but looking at the Northern Song Dynasty, it seems that the Xia State and the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers have always been tough.

The envoys of the Xia State were quickly sent away, and the reply they received was that the Song State refused to return Hengshan, and the Xia State had profited too little in the battle with the Jin State? I'm sorry, that's because you don't have the ability, who can you blame? This turmoil cast a shadow on the fragile peace alliance between the two countries in Song and Xia, but the reason for this is because the Jin Kingdom has fallen, and the contradiction between the two countries has become a matter on the surface, and the two countries must have a war, but at this time Sanniang has more important things to do.

After the news of the victory of the Northern Expedition came, the government and the opposition were naturally a faction of voices singing praises of virtue, and then the government and the opposition set off a persuasion movement.

But in the spirit of modesty of three concessions and three resignations, Sanniang still resigned from this persuasion trend. This is not Sanniang's hypocrisy, but this is a routine, a routine played by all successful kings in history, except for Zhao Kuangyin in a yellow robe, of course. Zhao Kuangyin yellow robe became the emperor, although he acted in front of the army in a big show, but he always carried Chai Rong's kindness to him, and also bullied the poor orphans and widows of the Chai family, and Zhao Kuangyin was a thief, and finally in order to prevent other generals from following him, he began to emphasize the text and suppress the military, and then the soldiers were seriously looked down upon in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and good men were not soldiers since the Song Dynasty, which was unimaginable when the martial arts of the Han and Tang dynasties prevailed, so Sanniang looked down on the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although Sanniang doesn't want the military to rule the country, if the soldiers of a country are belittled to Ruosi, how can they talk about expanding their territory? It was also after the Song Dynasty that everyone hated the military background and turned to the civil official group, which led to the loss of the sword and only poetry, and the fine tradition of Han men in the Han and Tang dynasties was lost.

So, Sanniang gave in again, followed the routine, and became famous, at least she didn't let anyone have any excuse to play on the topic.

Later, the Northern Expeditionary Army returned to the dynasty, Sanniang left Yue Fei to lead the army to defend the north, and set up three roads in the newly occupied land of Jin in the north, namely Liaoxi Road, Huining Road, and Liaodong Road.

The three of them, Li Gang, and Zong Ze, led the army to return to the dynasty in triumph. On the way, the three old fellows got together and discussed, and the topic was nothing more than the word persuasion.

In fact, the three of them all know that this triumphant return to the dynasty, if the three of them can use the army to triumph, and at the same time persuade the above table, plus if the triumphant army can be persuaded by the whole army and soldiers, this is the third persuasion, then Sanniang is very likely to agree to advance.

Along the way, the three old guys were discussing the matter, but because they couldn't figure out what Sanniang meant, they were a little hesitant, and finally the army triumphantly arrived at Chenqiaoyi, and rested that night, and the three had to finally get together to discuss, just because they all arrived at Chenqiaoyi, and they would start tomorrow morning, and it was the emperor and Sanniang who led hundreds of officials out of the city to pick up, and it can be said that there was no chance to reach an agreement after tonight.

Under the candlelight, the planter said: "Actually, you two hesitated, because they were worried that their reputation would not be good-looking in the future, for fear that the historian would write you two as second ministers, isn't it?" Li Gang and Zong Ze both lowered their heads, and indeed the literati always had a concern, that is, what they were going to do now was actually contrary to the Confucian view of loyalty.

Li Gang sighed and said: "Although I know that the general trend is irreversible, but when the matter comes, I have never been able to make this determination. The seed master snorted angrily: "No wonder it is said that the literati rebelled, and it couldn't be done in the end, things have come to this point, what is the infamy behind them?" ”

The seed master paced a few steps irritably, and finally stood still: "This is Chen Qiaoyi, Taizu was also in the yellow robe here back then, have the generals who followed him ever have an infamy?" Isn't it still beautiful behind you? Zong Ze shook his head and said: "Originally, I shouldn't have taken this false name, but King Lu has always been a woman, if she was a man, the two of us would not have been able to make up their minds for a long time." The seed master sneered and said, "You two only learned that King Lu is a woman today?" When King Lu led the army to fight in front of the battle, why didn't you two treat her as a woman? ”

While he was talking, the soldiers outside the tent reported: "There is a visit from Mr. Gongsun, a real person who protects the country on Shandong Road. The three of them were all taken aback, and then they were overjoyed, and hurriedly invited in. When I was young, I saw Gongsun Sheng and Ma Ling both wearing Taoist robes, and the fairy trail came to the tent faintly.

Three of the planters hurriedly saluted, and two of Gongsun Sheng also returned the salute, and the planters asked, "Where did my master come from?" Gongsun Sheng twisted his beard and said with a smile: "It is specially for the three of them to persuade them." Just because His Royal Highness King Lu has already persuaded him to advance, if this triumphant army can be persuaded again under the leadership of the three, then the matter of opening a new dynasty can be done. But it seems that the three of them can't make up their minds, and they use poor Daote to solve their doubts. ”

The planter was overjoyed and said, "Please also ask the Taoist to give advice." At that moment, Gongsun Sheng ordered Ma Ling to take out an object from the burden on his back, which was wrapped in yellow silk and shaped in all directions, and Gongsun Sheng took it and put it on the table, and only after a respectful salute did he open it. After opening it, I saw a piece of crystal jade in front of me, and the soft light and frost were taken, which was an ancient jade seal.

I don't know what this is in the seed master, Li Gang and Zong Ze are two eyes shining, Li Gang said: "Dao Chief, this thing is not a ......" Gongsun Sheng smiled and said: "Yes, this thing is the jade seal of the country since the Qin and Han dynasties, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was missing, and it was later passed on to the Liao people, and now it has seen the light of day, doesn't it indicate that the world has changed hands, and the new dynasty should be established?" ”

The Northern Song Dynasty has never found the lost jade seal of the country at the end of the Tang Dynasty, and had to make the Song seal to pass on the country, the Song people have always thought that it is a big regret, and now it is the time to change the dynasty, this jade seal suddenly appeared, how can it not make people happy?

Li Gang said happily at the moment: "Okay, with this seal, it is more justifiable, it can be seen that God favors His Royal Highness King Lu, we can no longer go against the sky, and we should persuade you to advance!" Zong Ze also bowed his head and said: "Sure enough, it is blessed by God, this thing has actually reappeared in the sky, no matter what, can my false name be greater than the will of heaven?" The planter was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately ordered someone to take the four treasures of the study, and three of them wrote a persuasion form under the lamp, and all three of them were signed.

Later, the generals and colonels at all levels of the division were also jointly named, and then spread to the entire Northern Expeditionary Corps, and the entire Northern Expeditionary Corps did not sleep that night, and the corporals and soldiers, and even the men and grooms signed hundreds of long persuasion forms. Just kidding, when this kind of persuasion is used to make political capital, who is willing to lag behind? The ordinary pawn even thought that if he could leave his name on the persuasion form, it would be a thing that would last for a hundred years, and there was green smoke on his ancestral grave.

As a result, not a single person was missed in the whole army, a total of 230,000 soldiers and horses, all of whom signed to persuade them, and obtained a total of more than 900 persuasion forms, each of which had more than 200 signatures.

Gongsun Sheng watched the whole army busy, resting in the tent with Ma Ling, smiling and not saying a word. Seed teachers and middle-aged people don't know, in fact, this jade seal has been on Shandong Road for a long time, when Sanniang personally went to Liao to find this jade seal, for this jade seal, but also lost her confidante Chen Liqing, citing Sanniang's lifelong regret. Since then, the jade seal has been hidden in Shandong Road, and only a few people know about Shandong Road. After Gongsun Sheng and Ma Ling led Li Zhu to kill King Kang, they turned back to Jeju Mansion on Shandong Road, and after discussing with Zhu Wu, they took the jade seal, and when the triumphant army returned, they entered the jade seal to assist Sanniang in the throne.

Sure enough, the three main generals of the triumphant army couldn't make up their minds, and finally Gongsun Sheng took the jade seal out and taught the three old guys to make up their minds.

On the other hand, the person who sleepless tonight also has the empress Huanhuan, just because tomorrow she and Sanniang will lead the hundred officials out to welcome the triumphant army, because Sanniang did not stay in the palace, but returned to the house early to prepare, and tomorrow before dawn will lead the hundred officials out of the city. Without "Ailang", Huan Huan couldn't sleep.

There is another reason why Huan Huan didn't sleep, that is, Huang Shang visited late at night. Huan Huan summoned Huang Shang, and Huang Sheng didn't talk nonsense after seeing the ceremony, and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, entering the palace tonight is really for persuasion." ”

Huan Huan was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly said: "Is it that the ministers want to persuade them again?" This is the third time, and this time King Lu will not refuse. Okay, okay, now I don't have to live in this palace. ”

Huang Shang smiled bitterly in his heart, since ancient times, in addition to the ancient Yao Shunyu soup, the others are not forced to be helpless and Zen, it is very rare to see Huan Huan such a Zen emperor who is happy from the heart.

Huang Shang said at the moment: "It seems that the old minister has triumphed in this army, and the three lords will definitely persuade him to advance again, so I have come here tonight to ask Your Majesty to prepare early." Huan Huanqi said: "What else do I have to do?" ”

Huang Shang said: "This trip to the Zen position will definitely be successful, but Your Majesty should also express his will for today, and he should also express his will, so as to personally issue the edict of the Zen position, otherwise when the persuasion comes to the table, the edict has not yet been prepared, so it will be a little rushed." ”

Huan Huan applauded and smiled: "The teacher still thinks about it thoroughly, so I ask the teacher to draft the edict on my behalf, and tomorrow I will persuade it to enter the table, and I will take out the edict and announce that I am in the Zen position." Huang Shang said: "When the two important ministers are present at the same draft, Su Taiwei is already waiting outside the palace. ”

Huan Huan was overjoyed, and immediately ordered Huang Sheng and Su Yuanjing to draw up a Zen edict together. Looking at the two old ministers' intentions, Huan Huan was overjoyed on the side, just thinking that she could unload this thousand catties of burden tomorrow and pass the throne to "Ailang", so that she could be with her for a long time in the future.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night, the courtiers have not slept, everyone knows that tomorrow is the last good opportunity to persuade in, it is to hundreds of officials, regardless of size, are preparing to persuade the table, if the three lords will persuade in, they will follow, even if they are not persuaded in, then hide on the body and do not take it out. So everyone was waiting for the dawn, waiting for that moment to come.
