Chapter 421: Let the Gift of the Past Be a Thing of the Past
readx;
Changing the commander before the battle is a taboo, and when the peace talks are at a critical time, it is naturally impossible to change people, and Lin Zhao is still in charge. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 However, with the previous impeachment, the emperor and the Manchu ministers were somewhat suspicious in their hearts, and they were all concerned about the situation in the northwest.
The news of Mingyue Sect is very well-informed, and as soon as there is a disturbance in the court, someone immediately sends a book to Suizhou Feige to send the news. In just a few days, Lin Zhao and Di Qing knew everything about it.
"Someone is impeached, could it be who leaked the news?" Li Cheng's words are meaningful, in the northwestern border army of the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Shao and the seed master Dao are all aware of the inside story. In his eyes, these two people are not 100% trustworthy.
Lin Zhao waved his hand and said, "Don't be suspicious, if they had told the informant, they would have done it a long time ago, and they wouldn't have waited until today." The news may not have leaked from the Great Song Dynasty......"
"That's right, it's entirely possible that Xixia deliberately slandered him, they want to create obstacles for Gongzi!" Di Qing concluded that this move was revenge from Empress Dowager Liang's side.
"Eighty percent of them deliberately spread the news and were used by people with intentions in Bianjing!" Lin Zhao looked at it very openly, but began to ask casually: "Have you found out, is it deliberately spreading by anyone?" ”
"It may have something to do with Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing!" Jiang Leiting is in charge of the intelligence matter, although Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing think they are seamless, but they only have no handle on the surface, and it is impossible to hide it from someone who has a heart.
Hearing such a result, Lin Zhao just smiled, and Lu Huiqing was fine. After all, the deaths of his two younger brothers had something to do with him, and it was reasonable for him to hate him, no matter how he reacted. The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. But Wang Yan. Could it be because he opposes the Seedlings Law. Do you have to put yourself to death? Lin Zhao didn't understand, did Wang Anshi and Wang Yan hate themselves so much?
Alas! Lin Zhao could only shake his head helplessly.
Li Cheng said angrily: "Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing are really hateful, last time they designed to hurt Gongzi in Taiwan Prison, and this time they were slandered by a secret arrow in the back, it is really ...... Do you want to give them a little pain behind your back? "Their core is Lin Zhao, and any act of hurting Gongzi will make them extremely angry.
"No, why bother to be like them? Anyway, Wenxin has already returned to Fuzhou, and the evidence has been erased. So don't worry. Lu Huiqing is in an important position, and Wang Yan is the son of Wang Xianggong, so it is easy to make extraneous branches. Lin Zhao is very sensible, and in the current situation, there are some contradictions that he doesn't want to intensify. Moreover, Wang Anshi can be regarded as helping himself in the end, if it is not a last resort, Lin Zhao does not want to make you live and die with them.
Di Qing said in a deep voice: "Having said that, I have to guard against it, these are trivial things. But if they get into any big trouble in the future...... It's always good to be prepared. Childe's kindness is good, but when necessary. Some villains kill themselves, so they don't have to be so polite. ”
"What Di Gong said is that I know it in my heart!" When Lin Zhao knew about his life experience, he understood one thing. The road to the emperor has always been to walk on blood and bones, and some things are destined to be a last resort. It is true that the benevolent person wins the world, but excessive kindness is the benevolence of a woman, and it will mislead the big thing. First of all, Ci is not in charge of the army, but he must control the Western Army, so he should naturally know it, Di Qing is reminding himself euphemistically.
"It's okay, as long as there is no evidence in Suizhou, it's just a rumor of the officials, and it has no impact, as long as the peace talks are handled properly, it will be a great achievement."
Having said that, the outcome of the peace talks was not really what you wanted. Lin Zhao originally wanted to seek peace, but if the Western Xia people didn't buy it, and they shaved their heads and picked their heads hot, what could they do?
Lin Zhao asked, "By the way, is there any other important news in Bianjing?" ”
"Ahh Jiang Leiting replied: "At present, the drought on Jingdong Road and Hebei Road is relatively serious, and Si Tianjian seems to have said that there may be floods after the autumn, and the government and the opposition are currently concerned about these things and are more worried. ”
The threat of the Yellow River floods to the Great Song Dynasty was naturally known to Lin Zhao. If you control the world, these things will naturally need to be solved urgently, and this is your own responsibility. In fact, even now, there is a responsibility and obligation to find a way to control the Yellow River, after all, this is a major event related to the safety of the Great Song Dynasty and the fortunes of the country, and it is also related to the lives of hundreds of people.
However, harnessing the Yellow River is a troublesome matter, and there are too many things involved, and it is not possible to succeed by talking about it. And it's a long process, and it's not done overnight. At the moment, Lin Zhao does not have the time and energy, if he has the opportunity in the future, he will definitely do his best, take out the experience of two lives, and try his best to do a good job.
As for the flooding of the Yellow River this autumn, it is only a prediction at present, and it may not happen, so Lin Zhao did not take it to heart. What's more, looking at the current situation, the imperial court has begun to pay attention to this matter, and it is already renovating the river and strengthening the river embankment, so if you are prepared, there will be no problem.
Jiang Leiting continued: "There is another small matter, but my subordinates think it needs to be paid attention to. ”
"Oh? What's the matter? Lin Zhao suddenly became a little interested.
"Zheng Xia, a judicial officer in Gwangju, was originally a close confidant of Wang Anshi and was very favored, but when he returned to Bianjing after his term of office, he thought that he had a bright future, but he didn't want to sit in a position of security supervisor!"
"How so? Did you offend someone? Li Cheng was very puzzled, because the matter itself was indeed unreasonable.
Jiang Leiting smiled: "It is indeed offended people, it is the prince who appreciates him who has offended." It is said that he persuaded Wang Anshi at the reception banquet that there were all kinds of drawbacks in changing the law, and the result was ......"
Lin Zhao completely understood that this was a person who had the same experience as himself. It is an indisputable fact that Wang Anshi's change has problems, many people dare to be angry but dare not speak, and finally there are a few people who dare to tell the truth, but Wang Anshi himself does not believe it, and the reaction is so fierce and extreme.
Zheng Xia's future was ruined because of a rebellious advice, which is really pitiful to think about......
Slow down, Zheng Xia, go to the door...... For a moment, Lin Zhao seemed to remember something, the first time Wang Anshi quit the prime minister in history, it seemed that it was because someone gave something to Song Shenzong, and that person seemed to be called Zheng Xia. It's a doorkeeper......
Could it be ...... Could it be such a coincidence in history? It's getting more and more interesting. Although this matter itself has nothing to do with me. But Lin Zhao always felt that maybe one day, this matter would have some kind of connection with him. So it always doesn't hurt to be aware of it as soon as possible.
"Thunder, this is called Zheng Xia, pay more attention!" After pondering for a moment, Lin Zhao commanded.
What does Childe want to do, Jiang Leiting didn't ask much, since Childe has ordered, then just do what he is told. Di Qing's eyes moved. Thoughtfully, his thoughts are more far-reaching. Wang Anshi is the right-hand man of Emperor Zhao Ji, and there will be a direct face between Lin Zhao and Zhao Ji in the future, so how should Wang Anshi treat it?
Di Qing didn't know the status of this change in history, nor did he know the status of Wang Anshi in Lin Zhao's heart, as well as that special opinion. All he was thinking about was how to fight Zhao Ji and how to fight for strong conditions for his son, which would be helpful for the future battle for the throne. The struggle for the throne has never been emotional, if Wang Anshi is a stumbling block. Then he will not hesitate to kick it away.
So far, not much has changed in history. It's just a slight deviation. Lin Zhao didn't care before, many times he regarded himself as the completer of history, but now he wants to be a changer in this world. Since you have come to the Great Song Dynasty and have a very special identity, you must cherish it and let the Great Song Dynasty have a new look.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The peace talks between the Song and Xia continued as soon as possible, and Lin Zhao opened his mouth wide at the beginning, demanding that the Western Xia cede the whole of Suizhou. How could Xixia agree to such a bad request?
"Lin Shilang, Suizhou is the hometown of my Western Xia Dingnan Five Prefectures, and it is absolutely impossible to let it. On the contrary, it is your country that occupies the land of our Suizhou, please go back! Tuoba Stone is neither humble nor arrogant, and he spoke out against it. The cession of land is a matter of principle, and any dynasty attaches great importance to any country, even if it is only an inch of land, if it is lost, it will inevitably be pointed out by thousands of people, and it will be infamous in history. You don't see, the treaties in the late period, the loss of power and humiliation of the country, and the loss of the land make people resentful. Since ancient times, this kind of thing has indeed been a matter of absolute principle, and the same is true of Western Xia.
What's more, the five states are still the birthplace of the Tuoba clan, if there is anything missing, how can he explain to the queen mother and the lord, how to explain to the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, and the people of Western Xia? Naturally, the topstone is particularly persistent.
Lin Zhao smiled and said, "General Tuoba doesn't need to worry, we need to determine a problem now." ”
"What's the problem?" Tuoba Shi looked at Lin Zhao with some vigilance, this young Song Dynasty man was really too cunning, and he could be fooled if he was not careful, so he had to be careful.
"Is Western Xia a courtier of the Song Dynasty and a vassal of my Great Song Dynasty?" Lin Zhao paused word by word, emphasizing this issue. Land cession is a matter of principle, and the relationship between monarchs and ministers is also a matter of principle. Although it is only a nominal relationship, the stakes are huge. The scholars of the Great Song Dynasty loved face, and they valued this point, and they would rather give up some practical interests than make any concessions in the matter of reputation.
Otherwise, Li Yuanhao had been in trouble for many years before, and the Song Dynasty had always adopted a tolerant attitude, but the last emperor was proclaimed, but the Song Dynasty was furious and immediately sent troops to fight. Li Yuanhao was very aware of current affairs, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately canceled the emperor's title. The price paid by the people of the Song Dynasty for this can be described as extremely heavy, and the years are a lot.
This is a veritable way to spend money to buy peace, and although the Song Dynasty was rich, it was not rich to this extent. You must know that one of the reasons for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty is the problem of redundancy. And this way is such a humiliation, it makes people feel disgusting to think about a big country being forced to pay so much money to their own courtiers and vassal states.
Lin Zhao felt that this matter was very humiliating, regardless of the fact that he had to endure it now. In this way, the status of the suzerainty that the Great Song Dynasty spent money to buy for decades is even more precious, and this must be determined.
"This ......" Tuoba Shi hesitated a little, this kind of question is principled, and the rash answer will make people very passive. He was already trying his best to avoid it, but Lin Zhao didn't give him a chance to dodge at all.
"What? Does General Tuoba have any questions? Lin Zhao was really pressing step by step, his heroic eyes were a little pressing, and there was an indescribable majesty.
Tuoba Shi was very helpless, he knew that this was the meaning of the Song Dynasty, it was an inviolable principle. So he didn't dare to object, if he provoked the anger of the Song Dynasty because of this, and fought to the death with Xixia as before, it would not be beautiful. Moreover, Empress Dowager Liang ordered him to try his best to stabilize the people of the Song Dynasty. If you don't agree to this question, can you continue to talk about it?
That's it! Let's deal with it first! Tuoba Shi nodded lightly: "That's right, we naturally don't deny this, of course, your state's annual gift is indispensable!" ”
"We'll talk about it later!" Lin Zhao obviously didn't want to entangle with him, and immediately said: "Since Western Xia is a courtier of the Song Dynasty, then the territory of Western Xia is also part of the Song Dynasty, right?" Then there is no dispute about the ownership of Suizhou, and it will be garrisoned by the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty. ”
After going around for a long time, Lin Zhao's real purpose is here. Logically dug a hole for Tuoba Stone again, just enough for him to jump in.
Tuoba Shi was very depressed and said: "Suizhou has always been in the hands of Western Xia, and it is the ancestral land of our party, and it involves many things such as sacrifices, so it will not trouble the Song army." ”
As a result, the two almost formed a tug-of-war on the issue of Suizhou, and bargained with each other. Both sides know very well that the current situation in Suizhou is very good, and no one will easily give up their land. Such a dispute can be said to be nonsense, but the situation still has to go on as usual.
Lin Zhao naturally knew very well that it was impossible to get Suizhou, and he would make a false shot here to frustrate the spirit and arrogance of the Xixia people. Then we will start elsewhere, although there is no certainty that the peace talks will be successful. But it is also necessary to prepare for success, and it is absolutely impossible to let the Great Song Dynasty suffer in name.
"But the Liang Kingdom of your country said this to each other, how is this a good ......" Lin Zhao smiled and did not continue.
Tuoba Shi naturally understands that Liang Yi is buried in the hands of the other party, and this is the most troublesome thing. Alas, if you want to change the appearance of the country, you must pay some price.
"It's not up to the prime minister to call the shots in this matter, I'm sorry, we can't agree." Tuoba Stone replied categorically.
Lin Zhao smiled lightly, as if he had expected such a result, and asked with a smile: "What about the matter given by that year, this Liang Yi should be able to have the final say!" ”
"This ......" Tuoba Shi knew that the significance of the year gift was very important to the finances of Western Xia. But now Lin Zhao has to make up his mind in this regard, and he has to guard against it!
"Liang Guoxiang said that the three-year year old will be given as compensation to the Great Song Dynasty." Lin Zhao smiled lightly and continued: "In view of the situation that he came empty-handed, he still has to make up a meeting gift, so the gift of the next eight years will be canceled ......"&%--
