Chapter 63: Know if I believe in my ancestors' names
In fact, it's not that Feng Yanlu has any ideas, but Zhao Kuangyin arranged for Feng Yanlu to let someone come, this is the reads arranged by Lao Zhao;.
"Qiyu, Weichen thought that Master Zhong Mozhong, the bachelor of the Ministry of Works, and Master Li Deming, the bachelor of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, would be suitable to serve as envoys."
"Lord Feng, go back to your Tang Kingdom and ask your emperor to send Zhong Mo and Li Deming to negotiate peace." Feng Yanlu remembered Zhao Kuangyin's words at that time.
"Why. Like you, I want to settle the grudge with the two of them, if you can't do it, hum ......"
Feng Yanlu didn't care what Zhao Kuangyin's intentions were, as long as his life was saved, where did he care so much.
Before Li Jing could express his opinion, someone stood up against it:
"Feng Yanlu, what are your intentions, you don't know, Li Deming and Zhong Mo usually only sneak around, and they won't even say a word when they encounter serious things, why do you recommend the two of them to go, what is your intention?"
This person's name is Han Hee-jae, and he is a person who supports Lee Hong-ji. Han Xizai is a native of Qingzhou. Later Tang Tongguang Jinshi.
When Li Yu was in the Southern Tang Dynasty, he served as the secretary Lang and assisted the prince in the East Palace. Li Jing ascended the throne, a member of the relocation department, a member of the history museum, and a doctor of Taichang, a scholar from the worship house.
In fact, he is more famous for drinking and prostitutes, often getting drunk, and he is also literary and romantic.
It is a **** literati in which era, and there is a famous painting called "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" in later generations.
Although Han Xizai's private life is very disorderly, his ability to govern is remarkable.
Even Sun Sheng jumped out to oppose it, saying that if he really wanted to negotiate, the minister would go to Jiangbei to negotiate with the Zhou court.
Han Xizai also admonished the emperor; "The minister recommended Lord Sun Sheng and Lord Wang Chongzhen to talk."
Sun Sheng is Sikong and Prime Minister, although he is a little stuttering, but he is upright, and Nantang knows it.
Wang Chongzhi is the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, responsible for educating the world, and being an example of etiquette in the world, so it is best for them to go.
The other ministers also nodded in agreement, these two people are really suitable. Feng Yanlu saw that the momentum was not right, and immediately spoke up again:
"Your Majesty, although Lord Sun and Lord Wang are famous, they are not the best candidates."
Li Jing didn't pay attention for a while, so he turned to ask his younger brother, the current imperial brother Li Jingsui.
"What is your opinion?"
Wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe, four less than the emperor's nine-clawed golden dragon, it proves that he is above ten thousand people under one person.
"Your Majesty, the younger brother thinks that what everyone said makes sense, but the younger brother thinks that since Lord Feng Yanlu has been in contact with Zhao Kuangyin, he naturally knows who is the most suitable."
After Li Jingsui finished speaking, he stepped aside, Li Jing did not make a decision, and asked Feng Yansi, who was the next head.
Feng Yansi is Feng Yanlu's eldest brother, and he is also the same as Tongping Zhangshi, both brothers are officials in the court, and they are extremely popular ministers, and the Feng family is not in vain.
Feng Yansi was still wondering just now, why did his younger brother have to recommend these two guys to Jiangbei? Does he have his own plans?
But after all, it's his own brother, and his mother's compatriot is still his own person, so he doesn't care about helping his relatives.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that as long as we set the bottom line of the negotiation, I have no opinion on who to send to Jiangbei."
Feng Yansi said this, it seemed that no one supported it, but secretly agreed with his younger brother's proposal.
The imperial brother has already said just now, Feng Yanlu and Zhao Kuangyin have been in contact with each other, and they know who is the most suitable, plus he said this, didn't Li Deming and Zhong Mo settle down?
Sure enough, Li Jing pondered for a while, and then began to issue an edict:
"Order the envoys of the Hanlin Bachelor and the Household Department Waiter Zhong Mo, and the Ministry of Engineering and the Bachelor of Arts and Sciences Li Deming to talk about why they are talking, and rush to Chuzhou to discuss it."
At this time, Feng Yanlu breathed a sigh of relief.
On the side of Chuzhou City in the Great Zhou, Zhao Kuangyin, father and son, were talking about something in the house.
"Xu'er, your black face is so good, you see that Feng Yanlu is so scared that he is urinating. [.Lots of good novels]"
"Dad, in fact, I really want to kill him with a knife, I look upset about such a villain, and at the same time vent my anger for you."
Zhao Xu said angrily.
"Okay Xu'er, everything is important to national affairs, and the rest will be put aside, and there will be opportunities in the future."
Zhao Kuangyin's mind was full of loyal and patriotic thoughts, and personal hatred was put aside. Zhao Xu next to him heard Zhao Kuangyin's answer at this time.
He thought again in his heart, if Zhao Kuangyin was telling the truth, then if Chai Rong didn't die, there would really be no later Great Song Dynasty.
"Dad, we will definitely set foot in the Southern Tang Dynasty in the future, and you can go to see him when the time comes, but I heard that she is already the Princess Zheng of the Southern Tang Dynasty."
Zhao Kuangyin didn't know how his son knew about this, he was about to open his mouth to explain, and the little eunuch next to Chai Rong came here to announce Chai Rong's message;
"The emperor ordered Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Xu to see each other immediately."
As soon as the eunuch finished announcing the emperor's edict, Zhao Xu immediately stuffed him with a piece of gold, which made the little eunuch smile.
"What is the matter with this father-in-law?" Zhao Xu asked with a smile on his face.
Seeing this little Zhao who had just given himself a gold ingot, the little eunuch had a very good impression of him, and I don't know if it was because of the gold.
"Two adults, the slave heard that the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty is about to arrive." The little eunuch said this, and the others didn't say a word.
But this information is enough, Zhao Xu looked at Zhao Kuangyin and gave the little eunuch a piece of gold and let him drink tea.
The little eunuch was so happy that his mouth was about to crack his ears, he had never enjoyed this treatment, he thanked Zhao Xu for his kindness, and then left.
Then Zhao Kuangyin father and son, then met Chai Rong, the monarch and the ministers discussed, and then Zhao Xu and his father went to meet the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty first.
This was proposed by Zhao Xu, to give Nantang a dismount first, Chai Rong also felt that it was okay, so he let their father and son do it.
In a house temporarily converted into a guest house, Li Deming and Zhong Mo were waiting to be summoned, and the two had rushed to Chuzhou non-stop since they received the holy decree.
Both of them muttered in their hearts, such an important matter is handed over to them to do, what if this can't be done?
Just when the two of them didn't know what to say, the voice of the person in charge of the ceremonial outside came:
"The Great Zhou State is the envoy of the National Festival, and the palace is in front of the command of Lord Zhao Kuangyin, and the palace is in front of the Marquis of Yu Zhao Xu."
Immediately after that, a pair of guards came in, murderous, these guards were the elite forbidden army of the Great Zhou. Two valiant generals came in the middle.
This posture made Li Deming and Zhong Mo, who were civil officials, tremble, but they still did not forget the etiquette.
"Tang envoys Li Deming and Zhong Mo participate in the adults." The two bowed their heads and saluted.
"Two adults, I haven't seen you for a long time." Zhao Kuangyin did not return the salute, but said such a thing.
This made Li and Zhong very confused, when did we meet the general of Zhou Guo, they didn't figure it out after thinking about it for a long time.
Zhao Kuangyin saw the doubts of the two:
"Why don't the two adults remember this, you almost killed me at Jinling Wharf back then, have you forgotten it for many years?"
Ah, he is the hairy boy back then, the poor boy who was hunted down by us, and now the general of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
The two of them immediately looked like ashes, and they saw that this person was almost killed by them, but now they have come to other people's territory, and they can still please them.
"Big, the lower officials are ......" The two didn't know what to say.
Zhao Xu spoke: "You were the one who almost killed my father in Jinling, you are so bold." ”
Zhao Xu's sharp scolding made them tremble even more with fright, the two of them are now on other people's territory, and they are all by others whether they are pinched or rounded.
"Okay, two adults, since you are here, I won't say much, you are actually here to negotiate peace, just follow our sword to see our majesty;
When the two heard Zhao Kuangyin say this, they immediately relieved their hearts and asked them to see Chai Rong, meaning that they didn't have to die.
But after seeing Chai Rong, they all died, and Chai Rong did even more desperately, just met with them and said his own conditions.
The adventures were all handed over to Zhao Kuangyin, Chai Rong coughed and went to rest, Zhao Xu knew that Chai Rong's illness was no longer clear, and it was now the end of 957 AD.
Chai Rong's deadline is also approaching.
Li Deming and Zhong Mo were really afraid of Zhao Xu, and when they were talking, Zhao Xu glared at them with sharp eyes, which made the two of them feel cold.
Even forgot the bottom line of the peace talks given by Nantang, his own life is important, where can he take care of other things.
According to Zhao Xu's meaning, the Tang Dynasty ceded the fourteen states of Jiangbei and compensated the military expenses of the Great Zhou.
Even Zhao Kuangyin knew that this was impossible, but after thinking about it, he didn't want Nantang to accept it, so he was relieved.
This time the negotiation has been delayed for several months, and the soldiers of Da Zhou are also cultivated enough, and they have accompanied Nantang here for many months.
Li Deming and Zhong Mo are living in dire straits every day, and they accept this condition under Zhao Xu's intimidation.
But he couldn't decide, he still needed to think about the emperor of the Tang Dynasty to report, Chai Rong also agreed, and he asked Li Deming to go back and report to Li Jing alone.
However, when Li Deming just wanted to retire, Chai Rong suddenly said:
"Go back and let Li Jing change his name, otherwise my army will definitely set foot in Jiangnan." After speaking, Chai Rong, who was dressed in a yellow robe, took Zhao Kuangyin and turned around and left.
Li Deming and Zhong Mo, who were left confused, what is the connection between what name our Majesty will change and this agreement?
The two looked at Zhao Xu:
"Dare to ask your lordship, what does Your Majesty mean by this?"
"What do you mean, do you know the name of my ancestor of Da Zhou?".
