Chapter 185: Conditions
In the Zichen Hall of the Imperial Palace, Zhao Pu rarely took the initiative to find Zhao Guangyi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Zhao Guangyi heard that Zhao Pu was coming, he hurriedly put down the imperial pen and stepped forward to welcome Zhao Pu in.
"Why did the royal brother come over today? Are you okay? Zhao Guangyi asked.
Zhao Pu coughed twice: "If you go back to the emperor, the old minister's body will be like that, and it is estimated that he will not live for a year or two." ”
"Brother Huang, don't say that, I still have to rely on you to rule the world!" Zhao Guangyi hurriedly said.
He didn't say nonsense in this sentence, Zhao Pu's intelligence is almost invincible in the world, if he hadn't been suppressing it in the court, the world would not know how many people would be called kings and how many people would be called emperors.
Although Zhao Pu has not been in charge of things in recent years, and everything is Lu Meng is working on, Zhao Guangyi still only gives him some of the most core rights, such as Xiao Qi's martial arts master organization, and for example, the intelligence center built with iron plates, these organizations are all operated by Zhao Pu, if there is no Zhao Pu, I am afraid that it will be difficult for people to play with these organizations to find out.
Therefore, although Zhao Guangyi, as the emperor, does not believe in anyone from the bottom of his heart, he still relies on Zhao Pu very much, and he can only rely on Zhao Pu, who calls others not have this ability!
Zhao Pu coughed twice: "It's the news from the honey side, the Empress Dowager Xiao's birthday is imminent, and many Liao royal families are planning to drive her down, the old minister feels that it is time for Zhao Gu to send an envoy to Liao, if it is too late, the overall situation of Liao has been decided, and it is not a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty." ”
"But she's ...... with Lord Cheshire." Zhao Guangyi wanted to speak and stopped.
Zhao Pu grinned and said: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate Zhao Gu, he weighs the priorities very clearly, he will give you an answer to this matter, and even if he is difficult to make a decision for the time being, then Chai Zongxun will not dare to rebel in a year or two, and he is not in a hurry at this time." ”
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Guangyi nodded: "Then this matter will be arranged by the imperial brother, and let Zhao Gu set off as soon as possible." ”
Zhao Pu answered, then got up to say goodbye, and left coughing all the way.
Near the end of the evening, Zhao Pu sent a small bamboo and asked Zhao Gu to come over to the house.
Zhao Gu didn't know what Zhao Pu was looking for, but he still followed Xiao Zhuzi, and when he saw Zhao Pu, he saw that his face was full of teasing.
"How? Is Sejong's daughter beautiful? How's her kung fu in bed? Zhao Pu asked.
Zhao Gu is cold, this old guy must have been a hungry ghost when he was young, and he was still so immodest when he was old, but his righteous daughter Xiaozhu was on the side, but the old guy dared to say anything.
"You think too much, we are polite." Zhao Gu said.
"Haha......."
Zhao Pu laughed directly, coughing again and again, but still laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Zhao Gu was puzzled, his face was slightly cold.
Zhao Pu said: "The old man has often heard people say recently that Zhao Gu's talent is no less than Zhao Pu's, and even more victorious, but you fall in love with Shizong Chai Rong's daughter, this is really stupid enough, now you must be very entangled, right?" Old man, who would dare to say that you are smarter than me in the future, hahaha, how could a smart person do such a stupid thing. ”
Zhao Gu was directly speechless, this old guy is not only lustful, but also extremely perverted, and his preferences are different from ordinary people, at least Zhao Gu can't figure out what he has to be happy about.
Zhao Pu laughed for a while, and finally relieved his breath, and said: "That's it, you are a person cultivated by the old man, the old man can't bear to see you in a dilemma, the old man has already told the emperor, let you immediately send an envoy to Liao, set off early tomorrow morning, you can be separated for a while, both sides calm down, think carefully before making a decision." ”
You're going to send an envoy to Liao so soon? What is Zhao Pu's idea?
He doesn't think that Zhao Pu has such good intentions, since the two met, Zhao Pu doesn't know how much trouble he has brought to Zhao Gu and how many pits he has dug, he will be so kind to think about Zhao Gu?
Unless he has some kind of purpose to achieve in this mission, as for buying time between Zhao Gu and the Lord of Cheshire, it is completely incidental.
Zhao Gu asked, "What is my mission to envoy Liao this time?" To provoke the Liao State, or to sign a contract with them? ”
Zhao Pu applauded and laughed: "Talking to you is to save effort, you have completely guessed the old man's thoughts, and you really deserve to be the person chosen by the old man." The old man will also tell you directly, this time you are going to Liao, you should take the attitude of a victorious country, walk sideways in Liao, you can also put forward difficult conditions, let Liaoguo satisfy you, in short, just do it with you, the emperor and I are happy to see it. ”
"But there are three things that you have to do, and you have to do them well, otherwise you will come back and have a head on the ground."
"First, the Liao State must announce to the whole country that the sixteen states of Yanyun are the territory of my Great Song Dynasty, and the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty is a righteous army, not a forcible seizure."
"Second, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State is a woman, and she is in charge of the power of the Liao State alone, and many Liao royal families are dissatisfied with her, especially this time that the sixteen states of Yanyun were recaptured by my Great Song Dynasty, her reputation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and the members of the Liao royal family have been active recently, and it seems that they are going to attack her."
"If the Liao Kingdom falls into the hands of these people, in order to show that they are stronger than the Empress Dowager Xiao, they will definitely take the Great Song Dynasty and attack the army, which the emperor and I don't want to see."
"And if Empress Dowager Xiao continues to be in charge, the Liao Kingdom will only become more and more fragmented, and she will not have the leisure to fight against my Great Song in recent years, just so that my Great Song can recuperate."
"What you have to do is to keep Empress Dowager Xiao's power and repel the other members of the Liao royal family."
"Third, as a condition for helping Empress Dowager Xiao, you must make her agree to send troops to attack the Western Xia Kingdom and assist my Great Song Dynasty in recapturing the Western Xia."
After saying so much in one breath, Zhao Pu coughed again, and Xiao Zhuzi hurriedly hammered his back and handed him a cup of tea.
Zhao Gu was in a cold sweat when he heard this, this Zhao Pu was really too yin.
If his three conditions can really be implemented, the Great Song Dynasty will not only confirm the ownership of the sixteen states of Yanyun, but also consume the internal strength of the Liao State, and make the Liao State more and more fragmented, and the Western Xia State in the west of the Great Song Dynasty will also face the attack of the Song and Liao countries, if this is a good operation, the recovery of the Western Xia in one or two years is just around the corner.
After a single envoy, under his arrangement, he directly determined the situation in the next few years or even more than ten years in the Great Song Dynasty, Liao, and Western Xia, which is really a sophisticated calculation.
This old guy is worthy of being the founding prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, and his scheming depth is comparable to that of Zhang Liang of the Han Dynasty and Zhuge Liang of the Shu Han Dynasty.
The reason why he didn't shine too much in the original history of the Song Dynasty was because the external environment of the Great Song Dynasty was not very optimistic, and Taizu died young, and Taizong's ability was mediocre, so he couldn't give him room to play, which is worthy of Zhao Pumingzhu's dust.
