The fierce battle under the city of Youzhou continued, and the confrontation inside and outside Shangjing also continued. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, Xiao Guanyin, the empress dowager of Liao, chose to go south to Youzhou, and she wanted to run for the fate of her son and the national fortune of Liao.

To do this, she had to meet two people and convince them.

These two people are the Liao Lord and Emperor Song of the Five Honors, one is her son, and the other is barely her lover/person.

Zhao Zhao didn't expect that Xiao Guanyin would come and ask to see him by name. It is said that it is going to negotiate, and as for the place of negotiation, it is in the Gaoliang River.

For such a request, the ministers of the Song Dynasty were slightly stunned. Most of the ministers did not approve of the official family going, and insisted that the emperor of Liao was an adult, and although the queen mother was influential, she did not hold great power. Moreover, the Sorghum River is too sensitive, so people have to be wary.

A hundred years ago, the turning point of the war occurred in the Gaoliang River, and Emperor Taizong was also injured in that battle, and then the battle situation changed, the victory and defeat were rewritten, and the history of the Great Song Dynasty was also rewritten.

Yan Yun died for a hundred years, and the tragic price paid by the Great Song Dynasty for this did not have a chance to be ashamed until today.

Although the current war situation is favorable to the Great Song Dynasty, the overall situation is still maintained on the official family alone, and seeing that victory is in sight, how can the official family easily get into danger?

In case there are three long and two short, not to mention the previous efforts, the Great Song Dynasty does not know what kind of terrible situation it will encounter.

The ministers disagreed, but Zhao Zhao planned to go for it.

The Empress Dowager of Liao has been kindly invited to negotiate, and it seems unreasonable and impolite to refuse easily. Since the Great Song Dynasty prides itself on being a state of etiquette, it must have the appearance of a state of etiquette.

Moreover, from the point of view of national interests. War is not necessarily the only way, as long as it can achieve the end, the means do not matter. Since Empress Dowager Xiao wants to negotiate, let's bargain first. The war has come to this point, and it doesn't have to be a matter of life or death. The fish died and the net broke. At the same time, this is also an opportunity to see Xiao Guanyin again and thoroughly understand the grievances and hatreds between each other.

As for security, Emperor Liao of the Song Dynasty negotiated by the Gaoliang River, which was an act of fairness. Are you still afraid of a sneak attack by the Liao army? As long as you bring your personal guards and mobilize a cavalry to respond at any time, there is no problem with safety. Now in terms of cavalry field capabilities, the Song Dynasty occupies the initiative.

As for close security, Xiao Guanyin made a special statement that the two met alone, with Zhao Zhao's force value. Are you afraid that Xiao Guanyin will be a weak girl?

On the third day of the first lunar month, the time was agreed, and Zhao Zheng rode the little white dragon to the Gaoliang River under the dual protection of Li Cheng and Di Yong.

A pavilion has been erected, and the Khitan Hu Cong is all three hundred zhang away, and the pavilion has a graceful and noble back. It's still the elegant back of the year, but it's a little more lonely than it was invisible. Lonely and lonely. There wasn't even a maid around.

This can be regarded as frankness, which can reassure each other that no one knows the content of the negotiations between the two emperors and queens, and it will be kept absolutely confidential.

Zhao Zhao waved his hand, letting the guards stay in the same unknown, and then walked towards the pavilion by the Gaoliang River.

Baizhang ...... Ten Zhang...... 100 steps ...... Ten Steps...... One-step......

The closer he gets, Zhao Zhao's mood will fluctuate slightly, and then the game will fluctuate. Some things have happened even if a long time has passed, but they have happened after all, and they are hard to forget. It's a good time to make a break today.

Finally, Zhao Zhao stopped only one step away from Xiao Guanyin.

Silence, Pavilion was a short silence, Xiao Guanyin and Zhao Zhao did not speak first, maybe they didn't know what to say. Maybe you want to hear something from the other person first!

It was quiet, the sound of the autumn wind blowing, the sound of the water trickling of the Sorghum River, and the sound of the two of them breathing heavily.

After a long time, Xiao Guanyin finally turned around first, still with that beautiful face, and still that kind of peerless feeling. It's just that she is thirty years old after all, she is already a grandmother, and her face has begun to age. The corners of his eyes have begun to wrinkle, and his head is full of green silk and even mixed with gray hair.

The style is still the same, the nobility is still the same, but it is not as charming as it was back then, Chu Chu is moving, and now there is more dignity and stability, that should be the bearing of the mother in the world! It's just that her eyes are a little tired and worried, and even a little bitter, and she has been under a lot of pressure recently.

Xiao Guanyin also looked at Zhao Zhao quietly, he hadn't seen him for seven years, he was a young man at the beginning, but now he is already the master of the Great Song Dynasty, looking down on the world.

For a moment, Xiao Guanyin didn't recognize it, and even felt a little strange. It wasn't until I looked closely and found the outline of that year that I was determined.

The change is so big, Xiao Guanyin didn't know what to say for a while. A twenty-seven-year-old young man, but he has already reigned in the world, with a resolute face and an extraordinary momentum, he is already a complete emperor. This bearing far surpasses that of a son and a husband, and I have to admit that the Song Dynasty produced a generation of male masters.

But it is this person, Jiang'er, who forced himself and Da Liao to the current situation.

For a moment, neither of them knew what to say, and there was a long silence.

After a long time, Xiao Guanyin said softly: "Thank you!" ”

Zhao Zhao smiled, but he didn't expect Xiao Guanyin's first sentence to be like this. It seems that this is the rhythm of private first and then public, the rhythm of first favor and then resentment!

The so-called gratitude naturally refers to the incident in "Ten Fragrance Words", which is to help their mother escape the frame of Yelu Yixin. But then it led to a misunderstanding between their mothers, and it was because of this that Yelujun impulsively went south, which made the situation so miserable. What should we say about these grievances? And how to say it clearly?

The corners of Zhao Zhao's mouth moved, he didn't laugh, and said softly: "Don't come to harm?" ”

This farewell naturally refers to the farewell a year ago, and after saying it, Zhao Zhao felt that he was asking knowingly, and ......

"Sick!" Xiao Guanyin smiled bitterly: "Compared to you, my situation is far worse. ”

"I'm sorry, I can't help you, and I don't want that."

Xiao Guanyin smiled: "It's enough to have this thought, but, thank you, I don't need it!" ”

"Yes, the Queen Mother is the mother of the northern country, raised by the world, what can't you get?" Zhao Zheng shook his head and said, "It's me who is too worried!" ”

Xiao Guanyin smiled, but it was very bitter, she was a noble queen all these years, and now she is still a noble queen mother, but now think about it carefully. What do you have? And what have you gotten?

"I didn't expect that Master Lin turned into the emperor of the Song Dynasty."

"Hmph, even I didn't expect that I could have today, maybe it was providence!" Zhao Zhao said meaningfully: "Life is like this, maybe everything has already been doomed. That's why there will be chance encounters, and there will be unexpected coincidences......"

Zhao Zhao really wanted to explain what happened that night by the Liao River a few years ago, apologize, or say something to Xiao Guanyin. But after all, I still can't say it, maybe what happened back then was just an accident, just a doomed coincidence. It's been so many years, so why bother mentioning it again?

I don't know why, the first conversation between the two was so sour, like sarcasm for each other, but in the end, the two of them were unhappy together, so that the atmosphere was very weird!

"Is Princess Terry okay?"

"Not so good!" Xiao Guanyin said: "Thanks to you, Terry is busy in Youzhou now!" ”

Kindness is followed by resentment, and what should come is always to come.

"After talking for a long time, the Queen Mother, please sit down, let's have a sip of tea first!"

"It's good!"

On the stone table in the pavilion, the small red clay stove was ready, Zhao Zhao beckoned from afar, and immediately sent a tea set from a servant, and then immediately fled away.

Zhao Zhao took the clay pot and fetched a pot of water in the nearby sorghum river.

The fire burns, the kettle rattles, and the white vapor dissipates in the autumn wind.

The best Longjing tea falls into the hot water, stretches little by little, and finally floats it. Without any ingredients, the original tea tastes good, and the tea soup with seasonings is simply a dark dish.

Xiao Guanyin watched silently and said softly: "Your way of cooking tea is very special!" ”

"Hey, it's just a small skill of carving insects, cooking tea like this, using water to wash out the most original taste of tea, can also have another taste." Zhao Zheng smiled faintly and said, "The Queen Mother tasted it?" ”

"Okay, then it's better to be respectful than to obey!" Xiao Guanyin didn't hesitate, didn't worry about poisoning at all, and directly picked up a cup of tea. First of all, I sniffed it lightly on the tip of my nose, and it was really fragrant, and when I tasted it gently, there was a slight bitterness in the fragrance, but it made people have an endless aftertaste.

"Good tea!" Slowly tasting the unique charm of clear tea, Xiao Guanyin was full of praise.

"Since the Queen Mother can see it, let people send some to Beijing!"

"Thanks, but not necessary!" After finishing speaking, the two of them raised their glasses in tacit agreement and drank them all.

A cup of tea, grievances and hatreds are over.

After this moment, their relationship became very pure, just the Empress Dowager of Liao and the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.

To put it seriously, it is a break of grace and righteousness, and the next step is serious state negotiations, only national interests, no longer selfish compassion.

"Empress Dowager Xiao, please!"

"Zhao Guanjia, please!"

According to the agreement of Song Liao's "Yuanyuan Alliance", Song Liao is a brotherly country. According to the brotherly relationship between Song Zhenzong and Liao Shengzong, Zhao Zhao and Yelu Hongji and Xiao Guanyin were equals, so they were on an equal footing.

Put down the teacup, and the negotiations between the two emperors and queens have officially begun.

Zhao Zhao smiled and asked, "Your country's affairs, can Empress Dowager Xiao call the shots?" Don't talk about it, if the Liao lord doesn't certify, then it's a bit troublesome! ”

"If I can come, I can call the shots!" Xiao Guanyin knows well, as long as he can talk to Zhao Zhao about a result, it is not difficult to convince him.

"That's good!" Zhao Zhao nodded, and asked again, "Do you want to invite Hu Cong now?" Scrivener/Clerk? Living Note? ”

"No need!" Xiao Guanyin's attitude is very resolute, she is afraid that if outsiders are present, she will not be able to show such determination and perseverance, she wants to face everything alone.

ps: I actually wrote it last night, but I didn't have time to revise it, so I didn't send it. Put it to today, a few chapters together more!
