Li Miao walked out of Liu Sheng's residence with satisfaction and went straight forward. Turning around into a secluded place, in front of which was a low house, inconspicuous in this place.

Stand in front of the room and gently slam the door. The door was opened, and a middle-aged man came out of it, a little older, wearing a staff coat and looking at Li Miao's eyes with an angry expression: "Tell me, how big a basket you poked." If it weren't for the government's gratitude for our family's goodness, you would have been dismissed long ago."

"Xia Guan understands that he doesn't know how to be flexible all these years. It added a lot of trouble to my father-in-law. The kindness of the father-in-law, the lower officials dare not forget." Li Miao stood outside the door and said sincerely.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Miao's attitude of admitting his mistake and pointed to the house: "Come in, who made you our fellow villager." Hey, why can't you save me money."

Li Miao followed the middle-aged man to the house, and the two sat down. Li Miao said with a smile on his face: "My father-in-law taught me the right lesson some time ago, and after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to listen to my father-in-law."

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Li Miao with a smile: "Is this true?"

"In front of my father-in-law, how dare the lower officials speak wildly." Li Miao replied respectfully, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. There are some things that are like Mount Tai when the final decision is not made. When I really made a decision, my heart became relaxed.

The middle-aged man suddenly stood up and stroked his palms and laughed, and said to Li Miao, "Li Miao, Li Miao, I thought you would always be an elm pimple, but I didn't expect you to finally be smart." This matter should not be delayed, and I will accompany him to the official's house as soon as possible."

In the palace, the emperor heard a report, and the eunuch Cao Gaoyi came back and hurriedly summoned him. Cao Gao led Li Miao in, and the emperor showed a more interested look: "Qing entered the palace late at night, what's the matter?"

"The minister came for the Liao envoys, and the ministers thought that the reasonable demands of the Liao envoys should be met, as for those excessive conditions. We can talk to them, and if we can not use the sword, it is better not to use the sword." Li Miao said solemnly, and his tone was extremely firm.

The emperor nodded and asked again: "Qing will be in the morning tomorrow, and this matter can be played by the ministers."

"Your Majesty's will be obeyed." Li Miao hurriedly bowed deeply.

The emperor hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said to Li Miao: "If you are above the court, everyone is like a qing, and you don't have to worry about it."

"Cao Gao drafted the decree, Li Miao received the envoys of the Liao State with merit, and promoted the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites. After the will is prepared, it will be handed to the Prime Minister's Mansion for the Prime Minister to see." The emperor thought about it and hurriedly said that the matter could finally come to an end, and he could sleep peacefully with peace of mind.

In the early morning, the sound of Sima Zhao's reading came, Liu Sheng and Jia Fu had just woken up, Jia Fu lay on the bed and said to Liu Sheng: "If you didn't visit Luoyang with us yesterday, it was your loss. You don't know, how many landscapes are missed".

"For example?" Liu Sheng was still in bed and didn't move, dazed.

Jia Fu first raised his head and looked around, looked at Liu Sheng to make sure that he was not talking in a dream, and then said very exaggeratedly: "On the bank of Luoshui, the scenery is beautiful and picturesque. Luoyang West City, business travel, rubbing shoulders is not lively, and, there are ......".

"Yes, ah, you can memorize articles, come and follow, what else." Liu Sheng didn't eat him at all, and ridiculed directly.

Jia Fu showed an unfortunate expression and said to Liu Sheng: "Alas, you can't let me show off my literary talents, and tell you how faceless it is."

"Okay, okay, you continue". Liu Sheng was said by Jia Fu like this, and he was completely sleepy.

Sima Zhao heard the words of the two of them and walked in from the hall. Seeing that the two of them were still in bed, he said with a smile: "I said two, the sun is all drying your buttocks, when are you going to get up?"

"I said Sima Zhao, you are really disappointed." Jia Fu heard Sima Zhao tell them to get up, and the little literary atmosphere that he had finally brewed was swept away.

Sima Zhao showed a confused look, and asked with a confused look, "Why is it disappointing?"

"Because you interrupted Ah Fu, the masterpiece that is about to be released." Liu Sheng looked at Sima Zhao's puzzled look and explained with a smile.

Sima Zhao looked at Jia Fu's resentful gaze, and hurriedly coaxed, his tone full of exaggeration: "It turns out that it is such a big matter, and I hope that Brother Jia Fu will forgive his sins." I know my mistakes under the bottom, and every time I think about it, I regret not being at the beginning"

The three of them had a fight, and Liu Sheng and Jia Fu got up to wash up and had breakfast together. Sima Zhao looked at Liu Sheng and said in a low tone: "Yesterday, a few of us went to visit Luoyang together and went to the gate of the imperial city. What I saw was shocking and chilling."

"What kind of scene is there?" Liu Sheng looked at Sima Zhao in a low tone, and had some bad feelings in his heart, and asked him.

Sima Zhao pondered for a moment, organized his words in his heart, and sighed after a long time: "Yesterday, outside the gate of the imperial city, there were countless scholars, and there was no edge in sight."

"The atmosphere at that time was very solemn. One by one, they knelt on the ground and did not say a word. There were so many people, and there was silence. The scholars did not drink or eat, and some knelt for many days. If you can't support it, you will pass out directly. In this case, the imperial court has already arranged it. Rescue in time, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable". Jia Fu took over and continued. Thinking about the scene at that time, Jia Fu felt depressed in his heart.

While listening to Jia Fu's relay, Sima Zhao saw the scene he saw yesterday in front of him, and sighed: "Where is such an act of petitioning, it is clearly opposed. Is it really that important to them to go to war? Even at the expense of his life".

"I can't figure it out anyway." When Jia Fu heard Sima Zhao's sigh, he also felt incomprehensible about what those scholars were doing.

Liu Sheng looked at their lovers' distressed looks, and did not explain directly, but asked, "Sima Zhao, if you enter Beijing alone." If nothing had happened along the way, and you hadn't met anyone along the way, what would you be doing now?"

"Outside the gate of the imperial city, there must be one of me." Sima Zhao replied without thinking, and he himself was stunned after speaking. I don't know when I've changed so much. It seems that it is not that the scholars are irrational, but his vision. Before you know it, it's become more open.

Jia Fu was even more puzzled, even a little, incomprehensibly asked, "Why?" So will you".

"We are scholars, and we have been studying hard for more than ten years, and we are friends with books every day. Knowing etiquette, righteousness and shame, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, judging good and evil. Throughout the history books of our country, five dynasties and ten kingdoms ago, foreign nations were proud to worship our dynasty, and our people were strong and foreign races were weak. After five dynasties and ten kingdoms, the alien race became stronger and stronger, but our dynasty was in civil strife. In a hundred years of troubled times, we are scholars, and the day is not safe. In this dynasty, Xin Youxian Emperor was eloquent and strategic, and he reused literati such as us. After only two years of reign, he swept away the north and south and ended the troubled times. In order to seize the clouds, we fought with the Liao people and returned defeated. had to survive and pay tribute every year. There are many dissatisfactions in the government and the opposition. In recent years, natural disasters have continued, and the people have been suffering day by day. The Liao people are extorting more and more, and the people are deeply depressed, and it is a miracle that they can endure it to this day." Sima Zhao told what he knew and explained the current situation. After finishing speaking, my heart was also emotional.

After hearing this, Jia Fu asked as if he didn't understand, "What do you mean by Ji Yu?" This matter is just a fuse, so why are the Liao people ......".

"Because the Liao State is arguing, one side advocates westward and the other side advocates south. Now the forces that advocate westward dominance. Therefore, the envoys of the Liao State want me to take the initiative to tear up the contract, so that they can logically launch a southern invasion" Sima Zhao looked at Jia Fu and continued to explain.

Liu Sheng heard Sima Zhao say that there were internal contradictions in the Liao State, and asked with some surprise: "How do you know this?" Regarding the internal affairs of the Liao State, there seems to be no one in the history books."

"I'm ashamed to be with Wang An and Yang Yong every day these days. From where they know, know some things". Sima Zhao heard Liu Sheng ask him, and hurriedly explained. How can ordinary scholars know such detailed information inside the enemy country.

Liu Sheng had a question in his heart, Li Miao knew the current situation because he had been an official for more than 20 years. But why do Yang Yong and Wang An know, they can only say that they are not simple. Thinking about it, what do they have to do with themselves, in the end, it doesn't matter, as long as you understand that they have no malicious intentions, they are friends, and who are talking about has no little secrets. After thinking about it, he said to Sima Zhao with relief: "I see."
