Chapter 62: The Peace of the Southern Tang Dynasty
"Since Lord Feng has this heart, this official will give you a chance, Dad, I will go first, you can tell him." After speaking, Zhao Xu took Liu Hongqing and Dong Xuanye out.
"Master Feng, get up." Zhao Kuangyin also can't look down on this kind of spineless villain, so hurry up and let him get out of trouble, so as to save him from worrying.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Feng Yanlu had a feeling of escaping death, and his entire back was already soaked.
"Lord Feng, did you mean what you said just now that you wanted to work for Da Zhou, or did you just say it casually?"
Zhao Kuangyin's eyes kept staring at Feng Yanlu, which caused him a lot of pressure.
"Feng, everything you said is true, if you want to be half untrue, just call it, just let Feng have to die well."
In order to show his determination, Feng Yanlu did not hesitate to swear a poisonous oath and curse.
"Okay, since Lord Feng wants to serve my Great Zhou, there is a chance now, you can rest assured that this is for you to bring a word to your lord."
……
A month later, the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty was already in chaos.
Feng Yansi, the secretary of Tongping Zhangshi, was reporting the war in Jiangbei to the emperor, and Li Jing, who was angry, was so angry that he still put the paperweight on the dragon case on the ground.
The ministers are all submissive and dare not speak, Li Jing is a good-tempered emperor, but with such a big anger today, the ministers are also angry and dare not breathe.
Li Jing said angrily: "The Great Zhou has already occupied Chuzhou, Yangzhou, Sizhou, Guangzhou, and Haizhou in my Jiangbei, what do you want, do you still want to annex my fourteen states in Jiangbei?" ”
No one dared to speak, at this time the emperor was angry, who dared to touch this brow.
"Feng Yanlu, didn't he come back from Jiangbei, you can tell me about the situation." Li Jing suddenly thought that Feng Yanlu, who had been the squire of the Ministry of Industry of the Zhou Army, had returned to Jinling at this time.
Feng Yanlu came out of the class and said: "Minister Feng Yanlu greeted Your Majesty and congratulated my emperor long live, long live, long live." ”
Li Jing waved his hand impatiently:
"Okay, okay, Feng Yanlu, didn't you play a recital? You also just came back from Jiangbei, and you said that the Zhou court wants to suspend the army, what's going on? ”
After Li Jing asked, everyone looked at Feng Yanlu, because Feng Yanlu was the only one who came back from Jiangbei, and he had the most right to speak.
It turned out that when Zhao Kuangyin let Feng Yanlu come back, Feng Yanlu returned to Jinling and immediately gave Li Jing a recital.
In the recital, he described in detail the willingness of the Zhou court to truce troops, which made Li Jing very puzzled.
Previously, he sent someone to Chai Rong to send a letter, expressing his desire for peace, but Chai Rong did not agree.
Now that the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty are in full swing, and they have even occupied several states in the north of our Jiangbei and have taken advantage of it, how can they want to suspend their troops now?
So Li Jing asked Feng Yanlu at this time, what is going on?
When Feng Yanlu heard this, he immediately knelt down on the Golden Hall again:
"Your Majesty, the minister did not dare to hide anything, in the battle of Yangzhou, the minister was captured by Zhao Kuangyin, the minister wanted to die, but thinking of my Tang Dynasty for thousands of years, the minister ......"
Feng Yanlu is really very shameless, and he is still smearing gold on his face at this time.
Why didn't he say that when he was captured, he was so scared that he almost peed his pants, and his face was here.
It seems that this villain's thick skin is really unmatched, and even everyone in the court is muttering in secret;
"As far as you Feng Yanlu don't know yet, I guess you were so scared that you peed your pants at that time." Thinking this way is Feng Yanlu's political enemy.
Even his political allies blushed when they heard his words:
"We all know what kind of person you are, you better stop bragging, okay, don't you feel ashamed, we still feel ashamed;!"
Although Li Jing is not a good monarch, he still knows a thing or two about the virtues of his courtiers.
Hearing Feng Yanlu say this, he also knew that this was an excuse for his defeat and capture, but now was really not the time to pursue this matter.
Hearing where Feng Yanlu's guy was still chattering, he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, and he was still shamelessly flaunting himself.
Li Jing couldn't help it a little, I don't know what kind of person you are, it's disgusting.
"Feng Yanlu, who asked you to say this, to the point, what do you say about the Zhou court's proposal for a truce?" Li Jing frowned, a little impatient.
Feng Yanlu probably knew that he had said too much, but he didn't expect that he would get carried away for a while, and the words of flattering others would be used on himself.
"Eh, yes, Your Majesty, Zhao Kuangyin, the general of the Zhou State in Chuzhou, personally said to the minister that the Zhou State wants to suspend the army."
"Zhao Kuangyin, is this Zhao Kuangyin killing my capital prisoner He Yanxi to occupy Tushan ,,, the he occupied Chuzhou recently, is it him?"
Li Jing had also heard of this name, but he couldn't help but not know that the military newspapers sent to him all mentioned this name.
At that time, he also admired why I didn't have such a brave general in Datang? If he knew that Zhao Kuangyin had been in Nantang for nearly a year, would he vomit blood in anger when he wanted to serve Nantang.
"Yes, Your Majesty is this Zhao Kuangyin, he is now the commander of the palace of the Zhou court, and he also serves as the envoy of the Ding**** Festival, and is deeply trusted by Emperor Chai Rong."
Feng Yanlu now thinks of the scene when he was almost killed in Chuzhou, and he is full of excitement, and he can still feel as if he still has the knife around his neck.
In fact, they didn't say that this Zhao Kuangyin also has a child, and this guy is also very powerful.
When Feng Yanlu was in Chuzhou, he heard that this young man was already the Marquis of Duyu at a young age, so it was no wonder that he had such a bad spirit when he faced him.
"This Zhao Kuangyin has been unknown before, and he has only recently risen, this time Chai Rong of the Zhou State is personally driving, but I heard that most of the time it is this person who is deploying troops."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this Chai Rong is young, but he is like a god with soldiers, and he is also a rare general in the Zhou State, since his debut, he has been invincible."
"There is also the Emperor of the Zhou State Chai Rong who personally drove the expedition to Shouzhou, they are brave soldiers, I think Shouzhou will not last long."
In fact, Feng Yanlu is still praising Zhao Kuangyin vigorously, in fact, he also has his own purpose.
said that Zhao Kuangyin was so brave and invincible, doesn't it mean that it is understandable that he was defeated and captured.
However, in his own court, he praised the prestige of others, which was a big taboo, and some people did not immediately stand up against it.
This person is Sun Sheng, who is the Tongping Zhangshi of the Southern Tang Dynasty, that is, the prime minister, they are political enemies and should support the emperor's younger brother, and the other supports Li Hongji.
"Emperor Feng Yanlu actually has no ambition in our court and does not have his own prestige, I think he is making an excuse for his failure, please Your Majesty severely punish this person."
Sun Sheng looked upright, in fact, he just wanted to squeeze out this political enemy in his heart, it seems that this Nantang is also calm.
When Feng Yanlu heard this, he was not happy, you actually demolished my platform at this time, didn't you want to kill me?
"Master Sun, Xia Guan is just a fact stated, why is there an exaggeration, you are a little fussful! Moreover, only by understanding the real situation of the Great Zhou can we arrange the military of our Datang according to it, so as to reduce the casualties of our army. ”
Feng Yanlu really deserves to be able to argue well, and he can also pull out this excuse, and his political allies immediately jumped out to cheer for him.
"Your Majesty, this Feng Yanlu is pure quibble, please punish him for his crimes."
"Your Majesty's minister Feng Yanlu is for my Tang Dynasty......"
Looking at the chaotic situation below, Li Jing was angry, this was his courtier, and slapped it the imperial case.
When the people below saw that the emperor was angry, they all shut up, and Li Jing stood up from the dragon chair.
"Enough, look at what you have become, now that the country has become like this, you are still arguing here, which really disappoints me."
Li Jing's face was very ugly, and there were signs of going violent. That emperor was not a master of acting.
"The ministers are guilty!" Since ancient times, the Son of Heaven has been angry and ambushed millions of corpses, and no one is afraid.
"Okay, now is the time of events, we should work together to get through the difficulties together, don't let me down again."
"The ministers are ashamed, remember Your Majesty's teachings." This is all a formality, everyone is a master of all kinds, but for a while, Chaozhong calmed down again.
"Okay, Feng Yanlu, you can continue to talk about the truce." Li Jing sat back on the throne again.
Feng Yanlu first saluted Li Jing:
"Your Majesty, the ministers see that Zhao Kuangyin really wants to suspend the army, we can send envoys to contact them, if it is true, our people can be exempted from the suffering of the sword soldiers, if it is fake, there is no loss."
Feng Yanlu said slowly.
"Besides, when we send envoys to negotiate peace, we can strengthen the vigilance of various places and not give the Zhou court a chance to take advantage of it, wouldn't it be better."
Feng Yanlu's words were very correct, so no one objected, and for the first time in the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty, there was unprecedented unity.
The ministers also agreed with Feng Yanlu's proposal very much, so everyone began to discuss who should be the messenger of peace.
Seeing that the ministers were in the same caliber, Li Jing also decided to negotiate peace, in fact, what he was more afraid of was that the Zhou army was approaching Jinling, so that his country would be over.
Although there is a natural risk of the Yangtze River, but this is not very safe, with the morale of the Zhou State now, who dares to guarantee that they cannot break through the defense line of the Yangtze River.
No one dares to make this bet, no one dares to play this package ticket, if the Zhou Dynasty really wants Shouzhou, give it to him, as long as they withdraw from the army.
"Okay, since all the ministers have agreed to negotiate peace, then Feng Yanlu's suggestion was put forward by you, who do you say should be the messenger?"
Of course, Feng Yanlu, you actually said this, there must be follow-up preparations, you must also have your own ideas.
