Chapter 0801: Could it be that the wind is up again

A negotiation, and the two countries finally reached an agreement.

Song Liao was a country of brothers from then on, Song called Shangguo a brother, and Liao called a subject country a brother.

Song Liao was bounded by the Tarim River, and so far both sides withdrew their troops.

At the same time, regarding the Tibetan troops stationed in Liao, they were given full authority to the Song State to negotiate with them.

Xiliao's decision has a sense of throwing off the shopkeeper: Anyway, we have ceded the territory, and the rest is up to you to sit on the ground and share the spoils.

The agreement was signed under the condition that no fugitive of cross-border thieves would be allowed to hide from each other.

The border cities of the two countries are as usual, and no city gods are allowed to be built.

Every year, the Liao State provided the Song Dynasty with 100,000 pieces of silver and 200,000 cattle and sheep for delivery at Kunlun Pass.

The two sides set up fairs at the border to carry out mutual trade.

As for the huge indemnity that the Liao State needed to compensate the Song Dynasty for the unprovoked war, it was not included in this agreement because the two sides reached a tacit understanding and consensus in advance.

The final formulation of this agreement was jointly drawn up by the ministers of the DPRK and China headed by Jiang Fu.

In fact, the significance of this agreement does not stop there, because this collegiate agreement can be said to be similar to the agreement signed by the Yuanyuan Alliance back then.

If there is any difference, it is that they have reversed their positions.

In the first year of Jingde of Song Zhenzong, the Empress Dowager Liao Xiao and the Liao Shengzong led the army south, most of the ministers advocated avoiding the enemy and fleeing south, and Song Zhenzong also wanted to flee south, because of the persuasion of Prime Minister Kou Zhun, he went to Lanzhou to supervise the war.

However, when the war situation was favorable, due to the fear of the Liao army by the ministers of the court and the Song Dynasty, they finally signed an unequal peace treaty with the Liao. Because Lanzhou was also known as Lanyuan County in the Song Dynasty, it was called "Lanyuan Alliance" in history.

Regarding the influence of this alliance, later historians have different opinions. Some people say that this contract seems humiliating, but it maintains a long-term peace between Song and Liao, and it is a great blessing for the common people.

Some people also say that this contract completely wiped out the sixteen states of Yanyun, resulting in a flat river in the north of the Northern Song Dynasty that could not be defended, which laid the foundation for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But regardless of the influence of historical theory, the Song Dynasty's drafting of this far-reaching contract is actually a kind of response to the humiliation of the Great Song Dynasty.

In the political hall, Jiang Fu discussed the follow-up of the contract with the ministers of the DPRK and China.

After discussing the follow-up matters of Song Liao, Jiang Fu then asked everyone present: "Regarding the division of the territory of Tubo, I don't know what suggestions your colleagues have?" ”

The matter of Song Liao is over, so the next thing is to distribute benefits with Tubo.

"Today's Tubo has long been divided, and the royal tribe headed by Chiqiong is just a branch, so the following officials can be divided as appropriate!"

"What Lord Wang said is very true, and the lower officials also think so, my great Song Dynasty is mighty, the north destroys Jinxia, the south sets the Qunyi, and now it is even more forced to be accepted by the Liao State, what is he afraid of the Tubo branch?"

“……”

"Everyone, that's what you think?"

Jiang Fu didn't say anything, but glanced at everyone, and asked softly.

Ninety percent of the officials nodded their heads in favor of this inquiry.

Jiang Fu sat calmly on the chair, and after a moment of silence, he turned his eyes to Pan Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites: "Pan Shangshu is well versed in diplomatic relations, I don't know what to think?" ”

"Jiang Lao said and laughed, how can the lower officials have any high opinions." Pan Zhisuo hurriedly got up and bowed to salute.

"Eh, Pan Shangshu doesn't have to be humble, this time my court and Liaobang discussed the matter, which shows Pan Shangshu's ability." Jiang Fu smiled and waved his hand, "If you have something to say, it doesn't hurt to say it, this is a political hall, so you can speak freely." ”

Pan Zhi bowed and replied seriously: "Regarding this matter, the lower officials think that it is not possible to be careless. ”

"Oh? Keep talking! ”

"Not to mention, His Majesty promised the Red Dome Prince back then, but now the internal national conditions of my Great Song Dynasty are no longer tolerated, and we can isolate our neighbors again. Prestige, my Great Song has now been established, so all that remains is to give favors. ”

"Enwei and Shi ......" Listening to Pan Zhisuo's words, Jiang Fu stroked his beard and nodded to himself, "Yes, my court has been fighting for many years, and now the reserves of the Cangli Mansion are insufficient, which is indeed a fact that cannot be ignored." ”

Pan Zhisuo did not continue, but slowly sat back, and then gave Wu Qingzhong on the right a look.

Wu Qingzhong nodded tacitly, and then took over the topic: "What Master Pan said is very true, the so-called victory is not arrogant or defeated, danger is not discouraged, and it is important not to forget to be serious!" ”

"Uh......"

In just a few words, everyone present looked stunned, and they were embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Wu Qingzhong's meaning is actually direct, when the country is in danger, one by one loses its righteousness, and now that the court is strong, one by one gets carried away!

Such a painless slap in the face, in the past, they would have attacked in groups, but now the government and the opposition are no longer their world, so they can't help but be a little silent in terms of momentum.

"Regarding the matter of the imperial court's treasury being tight, the lower officials have a proposal, I wonder if Jiang Lao is willing to listen to it?" After Wu Qingzhong took over the topic, he smoothly changed the topic.

"Hehe, but if it is conducive to the court's proposals, how can the old man not adopt them? Master Wu, you might as well talk about it! ”

Wu Qingzhong bowed and left the table, and then handed over a note.

Jiang Fu slowly opened the list, suddenly narrowed his eyes suddenly, and then looked directly at Wu Qingzhong with surprised eyes: "Master Wu, this is your plan!?" ”

"Exactly, what's wrong?"

Wu Qingzhong looked at Jiang Fu's sharp eyes and did not back down at all.

"Do you know what the consequences will be?" Jiang Fu said angrily and got up, and laid the zazi heavily on the table, "It's really ridiculous, Wu Qingzhong, you are trying to move my Great Song Foundation!" ”

Wu Qingzhong was calm and responded seriously: "Whether it is a fallacy or not, Jiang Lao has been in the sea for a long time, and he should see it more clearly than the lower officials." These three policies of the lower officials are gradual and gradual, and there is no intention of being greedy for merit and rashness, so how can they shake the foundation of the imperial court? ”

"Humph! Ignorant afterlife, ignorant of fear! ”

Jiang Fu didn't explain too much, and Wu Qingzhong didn't explain anything in public, so everyone present felt inexplicable.

No one knew what was written in Wu Qingzhong's notebook, which made the first assistant of the current dynasty angry.

Because they didn't know what was going on, and it was difficult for everyone to talk to them, everyone in the entire political hall was selectively silent for a while.

And at this moment, a voice came from outside the hall: "Ladies and gentlemen, Liu Sigong came to deliver the decree. ”

"Please stay in the office!" Jiang Fu hurriedly ordered, and then faced the ministers, "Colleagues, first follow the old man to receive the order!" ”

As he spoke, a middle-aged eunuch walked in slowly, it was Liu Wuyue, the superintendent of the ceremonies, who was called Liu Sigong by most people because of Liu Wuyue's status among the eunuchs.

Even though Liu Wuyue had the merit of being a dragon, and was even the commander in charge of supervising all the affairs in the imperial city, Liu Wuyue was not so arrogant that he went straight to the political hall.

Because this is the rule set for the harem and eunuchs since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that throughout the three hundred years of the Song Dynasty, there are almost few eunuchs who have brought disaster to the country and the people.

Liu Wuyue came to the hall, bowed slightly and said softly: "Please forgive me for disturbing your deliberations." ”

"Si Gong's words are serious, I don't know what Your Majesty's will is?" Jiang Fu took a few steps to the front and walked directly into the topic.

"Indeed, there is a will, and you are invited to accept it."

As soon as the words fell, except for Jiang Fu in the entire political hall, the rest of the people knelt down one after another.

Liu Wuyue respectfully asked for the holy decree from the jade plate held by the eunuch beside him, and then began to recite: "The prestige of the Heavenly Dynasty lies in the city of a hundred miles and a thousand miles of Guo? Therefore, I decided that the territory of the 36 cities of Liao was given to the Tubo Red Dome Department...... The follow-up matters will be handled by the Privy Council! ”

Listening to this will, everyone present looked at each other.

They were both shocked by the content of the resolution and speechless by the words of His Majesty today.

Since Ye Yu ascended the throne, as long as it is a decree promulgated in person, the writing is so straightforward, without the slightest superfluous modifier.

This kind of almost vernacular writing has made many ministers complain in private.

Fortunately, Ye Yu's talent is still well-known, otherwise these ministers would have questioned Ye Yu as a country bun.

"Si Gong, Your Majesty's will ......"

Jiang Fu's question is the common voice of many ministers behind him.

"Master Jiang, don't be impatient." Liu Wuyue pulled Jiang Fu aside, lowered his voice and said solemnly, "Your Majesty still has a message, let the old slave convey it to Xiangguo!" ”

"Oh? Si Gong, please speak! ”

"Two dictations, one, people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries; Second, all the affairs of the DPRK and China will be troubled by Xiangguo and Zhenguogong. ”

"People have no long-term worries, there must be near-term worries......" Jiang Fu secretly pondered this sentence, as if he thought of something.

But just when Jiang Fu caught something, Liu Wuyue's second sentence completely shocked him, Jiang Fu grabbed Liu Wuyue tightly, lowered his voice and asked in surprise: "Si Gong, is Your Majesty ...... him?"

"Your Majesty has left the palace at midnight yesterday and went south."

"What! Your Majesty......" Jiang Fu's suspicions were confirmed, and he was even more shocked and hurriedly asked: "The so-called country cannot be without an owner for a day, Your Majesty is the body of ten thousand times, how can you act like a child's play!?" Si Gong, why don't you stop it? ”

Liu Wuyue shook his head and said helplessly: "Your Majesty has always acted like this, and you are not unclear about Lord Xiangguo. ”

“……”

When Jiang Fu heard this, his whole person was not good, because this was not the first time.

Every time Ye Yu shook his hand as the shopkeeper, he had a bad feeling, this time he really didn't know what tricks this master was going to play.

"This matter is not trivial, and the top priority is the safety ...... Your Majesty"

When Liu Wuyue heard this, he waved his hand: "Xiangguo rest assured, Your Majesty is out on patrol, if you send someone to protect it, it will be against the Sacred Heart, not to mention it, wouldn't it be even more dangerous?" ”

"But ......"

"Lord Xiangguo, this is Your Majesty's intention, you just need to do what you need to do, as for the rest, you don't need to be too careful." Liu Wuyue said meaningfully, "That's all I say, the old slave won't bother!" ”

"Si Gong, go slowly."

When Liu Wuyue led the chamberlains to leave, the ministers of the political hall rushed over.

"Elder Jiang, you said that Your Majesty's will is too arbitrary!"

"Yes, Your Majesty has always been arbitrary, after all, it is mostly a reasonable policy, but now this will, the lower officials really don't understand!"

"Elder Jiang, do you want to have an idea, do you really want to ......?"

"That's it!" Jiang Fu turned around and looked at everyone, Hengmei snorted coldly, "Since Your Majesty has made a resolution, then do what you want, why are there so many small words?" ”

"Yes! ……”

The ensuing deliberations continued until late evening.

When everyone left the political hall one after another, Jiang Fu stood up silently, stared at the dark sky, and said to himself with a complicated expression: "Could it be that the wind is rising again?" ”(. Just love the net)
