It's the end of August, and the weather is already getting cooler.

In Kaifeng City, there is still a lot of rumors and tensions.

The Jurchen deputy envoy Wulin replied to Sarum, and wrote several times, asking the officials of the Great Song Dynasty to find out Xiao Qing's whereabouts. In fact, why didn't Zhao Huan have any intentions? But this Xiao Qing is like evaporating from the world, and there is no news. So far, Xiao Qing's ending is actually very clear. If he was still alive, he would have appeared as soon as possible. But seven or eight days have passed, and Xiao Qing still has no news. That means ...... The Ulim Tasarum was also well aware of this.

Xiao Qing is gone, and the negotiations will continue.

How to implement the Yanshan Alliance is the top priority now.

Wulin Tasarum was also quite helpless, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to invite Wanyan Puruhu out and continue to discuss with Song Ting.

Puruhu was a prisoner for half a year, but he did not polish off the edges and corners.

On the contrary, due to the failure of the siege of Kaifeng, he ended up being a prisoner of the Song people, which made Puruhu very ashamed and angry.

The hatred of the Song people is even greater than before.

Therefore, when discussing and negotiating, Pu Luhu was even more arrogant, only so angry that Yan Ying brushed his sleeves away several times, and the negotiation had to be interrupted.

According to Wanyan Zongwang's entrustment, it is hoped that Wanyan Saili, the king of Gaitian, will take over the negotiations.

First, Wanyan Saili has a very high reputation among the Jin people, and it is far from being comparable to Puluhu; Second, Saili also has the highest position, and is the most suitable to take over this matter. But in this way, it will make Wanyan Wu's willingness to beg to support Wanyan Puluhu to be frustrated.

Ulin Tasarum also received the good answer, and finally chose Wanyan Puluhu.

"Lang Jun, you can't drag it out any longer."

Urin replied to Sarum with a helpless expression: "Seeing that winter is coming, if we can't speed up the negotiations and let the 20,000 sons return home as soon as possible, I am afraid it will become more difficult."

The minions have heard about it. The Nanans were ready to stop supplying heavy grain and grass.

If it really drags on. 20,000 sons will starve to death in Kaifeng City, and the wolf lord will not easily agree when the time comes. ”

Proudhu is not stupid, when it comes to this. He had no choice but to restrain his arrogance.

After all, the battle of Kaifeng was they who lost!

However, in the later negotiations, the Jurchens won the victory. But it is also necessary to grasp the scale.

really forced the old Zhao official's family and tore his face, which is not a good thing for the Jurchens.

"In that case, let's continue to negotiate."

Pu Luhu was determined to speed up the negotiations with the old Zhao Guan's family, but he didn't expect that the next day, someone found Xiao Qing's body in a dry well in Kaifeng Mansion.

The weather is getting cooler though. But the corpse will still stink after a long time.

Coincidentally, the two splashes avoided the enemy. and hid in the ruins. Don't want to be at noon. But he smelled a foul smell, so he picked up the gravel. In an abandoned dry well, corpses were found that had begun to decompose.

After being identified, the corpse was Xiao Qing's dead body!

Urin Tasarum was shocked, although he had already guessed the result, but after all, he still had some expectations in his heart, hoping that Xiao Qing was still alive.

But now the body has been found......

Ulin Tasarum immediately asked Kaifeng Mansion to arrest the murderer.

However, where will Kaifeng Mansion find the murderer?

Yin Wumin, the governor of Kaifeng, was impeached and removed from his official position.

And the candidate for the new Kaifeng Mansion Yin is even more unexpected, but it is Qin Hui, who has mediocre qualifications.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in Kaifeng.

Everyone is speculating about the mystery in this, but there is someone who understands it at a glance, Zhao Huan is using such a method to balance the power in the court. Qin Hui is Wang Boyan's person, Wang Boyan was demoted to Leizhou for some reason, but now he ...... Zhao Huan used such a method to express his strong dissatisfaction with the main battle faction in his heart.

Who is the murderer?

Nobody knows......

But Zhao Huan is not a fool, how can he not guess the mystery of this?

Sure enough, on the second day after Qin Hui became the governor of Kaifeng Mansion, the planter was sparse and begged to return to his hometown.

Although he resigned from the post of privy councillor before, he was the Duke of Chu after all, and he was still a member of the court. This return to the hometown also represents the end of the career of the planter. From then on, it was difficult for him to return to the Kaifeng court in his lifetime.

After Zhao Huan symbolically retained for a while, he agreed to the request of the Seed Master.

Immediately, Zhao Huan appointed Geng Nanzhong as a member of the Privy Council. Everyone knows what this Geng Nanzhong is! In his bones, this guy is a peacemaker who fights insiders and outsiders. He is ruthless to his own people, but he is an enemy of foreign enemies......

After Geng Nanzhong became the secretary of the Ministry of War, he tried his best to suppress the people left behind by Li Gang back then.

Sima Pu, the former squire of the military department, was driven out of the military department by him, and now he is released to Yanshan Mansion as a fellow knowledge, and he has been far away from the center. In addition, this guy also wanted to drive away the rebels who came to King Qin, and he didn't even want to say anything. Fortunately, Xu Churen refused to let go, and the new Privy Council envoy Yao Gu, although he was a little inconsistent with the Seed Master, refused to bow his head on matters of principle. In the end, it was the imperial court that stepped forward to appease King Qin's righteous army to return home.

Zhao Huan used such a way to express his dissatisfaction with the main battle faction.

Perhaps, he just wanted to balance the strength of the court, but the result was indeed to make the court rise again.

The open and covert struggle between the peace faction and the main battle faction has become more and more intense.

From this point of view, Zhao Huan's goal can be regarded as achieved......

After Xiao Qing's body was discovered, a new round of controversy was triggered.

Qin Hui strictly ordered the third class of officials in Kaifeng Mansion to intensify the investigation of the murderer, and at the same time strengthened the rectification of public security in Kaifeng Mansion.

For a time, the atmosphere in Kaifeng Mansion became more solemn.

On August 25, when Huizong Zhao Ji's honor guard arrived at Yingtianfu, it added a bit of gunpowder to Kaifeng Mansion.

The emperor is still the capital!

Would Zhao Ji be so willing to hand over power?

Is Zhao Huan willing to share his authority?

Everything has become unknown.

As a result, the negotiations between the Jurchen mission and the imperial court were no longer important.

On August 27, the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchen Dynasty reached an agreement that the Great Song Dynasty would release more than 20,000 Jurchen prisoners. At the same time, they were given food, grass and baggage for their return journey. At the same time, the Privy Council ordered. He ordered the soldiers and horses of Hebei to strictly protect them, and began to clean up the bandits.

After finishing the face of Puluhu, it can be said that he is satisfied.

It was also on the evening of the end of the peace talks between the Song and Jin countries. In a mansion in Luoyang City, the western capital, Master Dao looked solemn and wandered in the study.

The content of the negotiations between the Song and Kim countries. Naturally, the Seed Master Dao is very clear.

He also knew that once the Great Song military joined, it would inevitably cause huge trouble for the robbery and killing of 20,000 Jurchen prisoners.

Although the master no longer serves as the privy councillor, he does not participate in the court dispute. However, on some issues of principle, he will not make the slightest concession. If more than 20,000 Jurchen captives returned Dajin, what consequences would it bring to the Great Song Dynasty?

In his heart, he also knows it very well.

The teeth were clenched, and the planter hesitated.

After a long time, he made up his mind. He shouted in a deep voice: "Someone! ”

A man in black walked in from outside the house, and as soon as he entered the house, he stood solemnly without saying a word.

"You immediately go to Zhending, Zhongshan, and Taiyuan.

Tell Zhang Suo, Wang Yu, Wang Wei and Huang Qianshan and Duan Ru. And he told them. For my great Song Guozuo, please be sure to try to contact the Xishan monk Dong Ma Kuo. And do your best to help Ma Kuo do whatever it takes! ”

"Whoa!"

The man in black bowed down to receive the order, and was about to turn and leave.

But he listened to the seed master and called him again: "Lin Tao, how long has it been since your husband and wife came to my house?" ”

The man in black was stunned, turned his head and looked at the seed master in amazement, and said after a while: "Xiao Di has followed Xianggong since Huanzhou, and it has been eleven years and three months. ”

"Eleven years!"

Seed Master Dao sighed softly, "Do you blame me for what I did before?" ”

The man in black hesitated, "Erlang was originally a person who committed a crime, and he had to take care of him to live to this day." The small bottom and the clumsy thorn are already grateful. Now that Erlang is martyred in the country, it can be regarded as a well-deserved death, how dare Xiaodi have half a complaint? ”

"It's okay to complain, or not to complain.

For eleven years, you have been born and died with me, but you have not gained any fame. Now that I'm going home, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you anymore. But I can show you the way...... After you go to Hebei this time, explain the situation to Zhang Suo and others, and don't come back...... Don't worry, listen to me. I want you to stay in Suning Village in Zhending Mansion and help Yu Xiaoyi. ”

The man in black frowned, "Is that the Kaifeng Jade Jiaolong?" ”

"Exactly."

The seed master Dao's expression was solemn, "Yu Yin will go to Hebei here, and he will encounter a lot of trouble."

Your husband and wife are good men on Hebei Green Forest Road, and they are familiar with each other, so go to help him...... The old man believes that it is far better for you to follow Yu Xiaoyi than to stay in Luoyang. Maybe that Yu Xiaoyi is just a small capital now, but he is the person next to the prince. Stay by his side, maybe you and your husband will be more useful......"

The man in black thought for a moment and didn't answer the seed master.

He bowed to the Planter Dao again, then turned around and strode out of the study.

Looking at the back of the man in black, the seed master sighed faintly: "Yu Xiaoyi, that's all the old man can help you!" ”

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Dengzhou, located in the Jiaodong Peninsula, is under the jurisdiction of Jingdong East Road.

It governs Penglai, Huangxian, Muping and Wendeng counties, and is an important port in the eastern part of the Jiaodong Peninsula.

Since the Song Dynasty, maritime affairs have flourished.

In this case, Penglai has also developed exceptionally rapidly.

It is the mid-autumn season, the merchants from the south to the north are more endless, and the wealthy merchants who return from overseas arrive in Penglai with a large number of goods, which is also the most lively time of the year. In another month, when the middle of winter comes, the maritime will also stop. Therefore, at this time, Penglai County is very noisy, and there are countless wealthy businessmen coming and going.

Wanyan Zongwang is under the protection of Shanying...... In other words, under the supervision of Shanying, he arrived in Penglai County.

As soon as he settled down in his accommodation, Shanying sent someone out to contact.

Wanyan Zongwang took a shower in the guest room and asked the interpreter to read for him on the side.

Now what he is watching is a "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which translates yin and yang frustratedly, and reads it quite tastefully, and Wanyan Zongwang can also listen to it.

Just as I was listening to the wonderful place, I suddenly heard a knock on the door.

Wanyan Zongwang frowned, motioned for the interpreter to stop, walked to the door of the room and asked in a deep voice, "Who?" ”

"Lang Jun, it's me."

Wanyan Zongwang could hear it, it was the voice of Shanying.

So he opened the door, and just as he was about to speak, he saw Shanying flash in and wave his hand to signal the interpreter to leave.

"National teacher, what's going on?"

Shanying's face was gloomy, and he said softly: "Lang Jun, things have changed. ”
