How to say it, this ring match seems to be won by Zhao Gu's side, and the official has to accompany Xiao Qiqi and the seven people to each have 1,000 copper coins, but because of Lao Jin's play, he directly crushed Xiao Yi, even if Zhao Gu's side wins, it doesn't seem to make much sense.

On the contrary, it was the Empress Dowager Xiao and them, Yelu Longqing became famous with the help of this ring competition, Lao Jin won the last victory, winning glory for the Liao State, and the Empress Dowager Xiao even won the hearts of the people, and it seemed that she had become the biggest winner.

Zhao Gu had a feeling that he had made a wedding dress for others.

As for the people who set up a ring match in order to provoke Zhao Guwei, they lost their wives and soldiers, and they became bad people and lost the hearts of the people.

Looking at the back of Empress Dowager Xiao's last departure, Zhao Gu smiled bitterly in his heart, damn, he was calculated by a woman.

Inexplicably, Zhao Gu felt a little sorry for those members of the Liao royal family who opposed the Empress Dowager Xiao, and there were opponents like the Empress Dowager Xiao, and I didn't know if they could sleep at night.

This is the end of the ring competition, in addition to the Empress Dowager Xiao's collection, Zhao Gu and the subordinates of the Nagan royal family members all seemed a little interested, and after receiving the seven thousand yuan they agreed, Zhao Gu and the others returned to the pavilion.

Two days later, Empress Dowager Xiao issued an order to summon Zhao Gu and Li Fu to meet them, and the two put on their official uniforms and followed the palace maid into the Liao Palace.

Speaking of this Liao Imperial Palace, it is also very interesting at this time, except for the emperor, there is no man, not even a eunuch.

It is said that in order to prove her innocence, Empress Dowager Xiao deliberately did not let the eunuchs enter the palace, and in this palace, except for Empress Dowager Xiao and the emperor, there were only palace maids left.

The meeting between Zhao Gu and Li Fu and Empress Dowager Xiao will naturally not be in the inner courtyard of the palace, but in the study where Empress Dowager Xiao usually handles government affairs, that is, the front palace of the palace.

Seeing Zhao Gu and Li Fu again, Empress Dowager Xiao still didn't give the two of them any good looks, looking high-minded, Li Fu was anxious about the mission of the envoy, and he wanted to put forward conditions like Empress Dowager Xiao, but Zhao Gu shook his head at him.

Li Fu paused, and then drank tea quietly, Empress Dowager Xiao asked, and both of them answered one by one, but no one mentioned the matter of Yanyun's sixteen states, let alone the matter of this envoy.

In the end, Empress Dowager Xiao was still talking with Zhao Gu and the two in a boiled water style, and Zhao Gu and the two did not seem to be very anxious, they still chatted with her without a match, and the Empress Dowager Xiao finally couldn't sit still.

Empress Dowager Xiao frowned slightly, glanced at Zhao Gu emphatically, and said, "Your emperor asked you to come to my Liao country, what is the matter?" ”

Seeing that she was still holding her own identity, Zhao Gu smiled coldly in his heart and said, "Isn't it clear in the envoy's documents?" We are here to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday. ”

"That's it." Empress Dowager Xiao then said: "The palace knows, since we have already met, please ask the two envoys to go back to the Great Song Dynasty, your emperor's heart is received by the palace." Empress Dowager Xiao nodded.

"Okay, then we'll take our leave."

After Zhao Gu finished speaking, he pulled Li Fu and was about to leave, but Empress Dowager Xiao did not hold back, until the footsteps of the two had already stepped out of the door of the study.

She finally couldn't hold it anymore and asked, "If the palace is ousted, these newly ascended princes and ministers will definitely take the Great Song Dynasty again, aren't you afraid?" ”

Zhao Gu smiled coldly: "What are you afraid of? One person from the Liao Kingdom, one person from the Great Song Dynasty, and 10,000 people from the 10,000 we will kill 10,000 people, that's all. ”

"You...... Alas. Seeing Zhao Gu's hard attitude, Empress Dowager Xiao thought of the internal situation in the Liao Kingdom, and finally eased her attitude, and said: "Come in, tell your emperor's conditions, what is he going to do to help the palace survive this crisis." ”

Zhao Gu glanced at Li Fu, and the two went back to sit down, Zhao Gu then wondered: "Is there any crisis for the Queen Mother?" You are the empress dowager of Liao, the emperor's biological mother, what crisis can you have? ”

Empress Dowager Xiao hated it so much, she had earlier informed Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu of the situation in Liao through the letter of state, she would not believe it, Zhao Gu would not know.

She knew that Zhao Gu was pinching her, in order to avenge her for snubbing Zhao Gu before, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

Once upon a time, Empress Dowager Xiao said nothing in the territory of Liao, who dared to resist her?

But it was the young man in front of him who took away Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures at lightning speed, which made her fall into a desperate situation now, but he looked like he didn't care about himself, which really made people want to kill him!

Finally calmed down, Empress Dowager Xiao said: "Don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, this palace will tell you directly, now many royal family members of the Liao Kingdom are eyeing this palace, and want to drive the palace down, this palace hopes to use your strength to protect itself, you just say your conditions." ”

Hearing that she finally had some intention of negotiating, Zhao Gu smiled at the corner of his mouth and said the two conditions that Zhao Pu had informed.

When Empress Dowager Xiao heard this, her face was shocked: "This is impossible, you can just take back the sixteen states of Yanyun, and you still want the Liao State to help you attack Western Xia, and this palace will never agree." ”

Zhao Gu's face turned cold: "Since the Queen Mother will never agree, then there is nothing to say, Master Li and I will immediately go back to Kaifeng to convey the Queen Mother's intentions, and we will leave." ”

"Wait......." Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed softly.

"This palace will not hide from you that the current situation in Liao is at a critical juncture, this palace has received the news, those royal family members have gathered an army of 100,000 people, and they will be in Linhuang Mansion in a few days, even if this palace gives you more promises now, what is the use? Why don't you try to help me through this crisis first? ”

When she said this, Empress Dowager Xiao's expression was very resentful, as if she was about to cry, coupled with her peerless appearance, she almost stunned Zhao Gu and Li Fu.

What a fox!

But she obviously underestimated Zhao Gu and Li Fu's concentration, and their eyes only stayed on her face for a moment, and then quickly retracted it.

"No, what if you don't admit it then? You must sign a credential with us now and stamp the jade seal of the Liao Kingdom. Zhao Gu said coldly.

Empress Dowager Xiao sighed again, her face was cloudy, and finally nodded.

"Someone, bring the jade seal."

A palace maid took the jade seal, and the Empress Dowager Xiao personally picked up the pen and wrote a letter of state, Yan Ming recognized the legitimate dominance of the Great Song Dynasty over the sixteen states of Yanyun, and would send troops to cooperate when the Great Song Dynasty attacked Western Xia.

In the end, Empress Dowager Xiao stamped the jade seal on it, and this contract was officially legalized.

After receiving the national letter, Zhao Gu couldn't help but light up, Empress Dowager Xiao's handwriting was very beautiful, no worse than the old pedant who had been immersed in calligraphy all his life.
