Chapter 168: Each has his own abacus
Zhao Yunzhao nodded, "Everything is based on Lu Envoy Jun Ma. ”
This goods are also cunning, knowing that the people of Honglu Temple are just here to go through the motions as deputy envoys, so they will push the boat to reduce their responsibilities to the minimum as much as possible, and when something big happens, Lu Zhongxian will take it.
Li Fengwu would not be stupid enough to sell himself, and smiled.
On that day, Wei Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Lu Zhongxian had a separate meeting, which should have informed him of the bottom line of the official family, but I also knew that Tang Siwei had also approached him a few days ago and instructed Lu Zhongxian to agree to cede the four states.
In the autumn of August, the Jin army pressed the border, demanding that the Great Song Dynasty cede the four prefectures of Hai, Si, Tang, and Deng, pay the currency as vassals, and repatriate the people who were attached to the Central Plains, and threatened that the Great Song Dynasty would move south if it was not allowed.
It was this envoy who negotiated many of the Jinren's demands.
Zhao Yan has a bottom line, does Tang Si retreat......
Li Fengwu was secretly pitiful in his heart, I am afraid that Lu Zhongxian's envoy to Jin Guo this time will be the end of his career.
At the behest of Tang Sihui, Lu Zhongxian arrived in the Jin Kingdom, and was so frightened that he didn't dare to argue when he was shouted by the Jin soldiers, and agreed to the Jin people's request to cede the four states, which caused Zhao Yan to be angry and dismissed him.
Lu Zhongxian was stunned, and his heart chuckled, Li Fengwu's face was cold, and he seemed to be not very convinced of himself, could he not have succeeded in monopolizing power, if he could do so...... That's great!
Lu Zhongxian was originally a Jinshi from a poor family, or a fellow Jinshi of Xiaoke, his family has no power, his own talent is not outstanding enough, and he can get to this day completely by relying on his own hard work to flatter everywhere, but he doesn't want to offend people when he got such an errand.
Envoy to Jin Guo, mixed blessings, happy is that it is promoted, and worried that after Tang Xianggong instructed himself, this matter has become unflattering, and if you are not careful, your career will be over.
There is the bottom line of the official family in the front, and there is Tang Xianggong's strict instructions, and he has to face the tiger and wolf roaring of the golden people, thinking about it, I feel that this errand is uncomfortable, if Li Fengwu is willing to take the power alone, Lu Zhongxian really wants to burn incense and worship the Buddha.
Unexpectedly, before Lu Zhongxian was happy, he heard Li Fengwu say: "But it's up to Lu Envoy to decide." ”
What are we...... I also took Yelu Maitreya to go through the motions, purely to satisfy Zhao Yan's black belly, and try not to get involved in the negotiation, anyway, this negotiation can't be negotiated, Jin Ren is insatiable, and this request completely exceeds Zhao Yan's bottom line.
Cession of Hai, Si, Tang, and Deng Prefectures, and even Zhao Yan as a vassal, this is tantamount to a humiliation in the crotch for a hard-working and enterprising lord of Zhongxing, which is difficult to accept.
The negotiations are destined to end badly.
Fortunately, the task given to him by Zhao Yan was just to slap Jin in the face, and he dared to take Yelu Maitreya to go, without him, he was not an envoy to Nanjing and Shangjing of Jin State, but only to the Jin army camp in Maozhou, Jiangbei.
Jiangnan is the Great Song army, and this envoy will definitely not be in danger.
After all, the turmoil in the Jin State has not yet fully recovered, and Wan Yanyong just wants to force peace with war, not really wants to fight a war with the Great Song Dynasty, so he will definitely not go too far with the mission.
Of course, there is a lot of difficulty.
Lu Zhongxian smiled bitterly: "Both of them are deputy envoys, and they are happy with each other on this errand, and I also ask the two of them to help." ”
You Zhao Yunzhao is a disciple of the clan, you Li Fengwu still has Zhang Jun's support, but I, Lu Zhongxian, have no power or power, and I can't keep up, so I can't help but keep my voice down.
"I'll do my job!" Zhao Yunzhao is very cunning and resolutely does not get into play.
Li Fengwu sighed, in fact, he felt very good about Lu Zhongxian, but this thing didn't seem to be able to help him, so he could only find a time to remind him and withstand the pressure of the golden man, as for Tang Sihui's instructions...... Just ignore it.
After all, the world of the Great Song Dynasty belongs to Zhao Yan, and Tang Siwei can't be a prince for long, so he doesn't have to be afraid of him at all.
As long as he can stick to Zhao Yan's bottom line, there is still hope for Lu Zhongxian's career.
In September, it is the end of autumn, and the coolness is getting stronger.
September in the Song Dynasty, is the lunar calendar, according to the time of the solar calendar, almost November, the autumn tiger in August passed, September will be autumn sorrowful, walking on the Jiangnan Plain, everywhere you can see the beautiful scenery of the sunset and the lonely bird flying together in the autumn water.
There is no industrial pollution in later generations, the air in the Song Dynasty is so fresh that people are intoxicated, but whenever there is autumn weather, the sky is always clear and the sky is blue, between heaven and earth, there is occasional cooking smoke in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.
Of course, it is not much less populated than in the later world.
In the war-torn Southern Song Dynasty, the population has not recovered, so along the way, many places have even reached the realm of desolation, which makes Li Fengwu sigh very much.
In this era, ordinary people have children, and it is good to survive four out of ten.
Therefore, feudal society is a paradise for the rich, but a hell for the poor.
Don't think about so many noble sons from poor families, especially survive first and then think about studying, not every son born from a poor family can survive, and a little attention to an epidemic cold will take away his life.
In practical terms, this is also the reason why there were many outstanding people in ancient times.
In ancient times, first of all, the first level was to survive the harsh living conditions, and those who survived through hardships and dangers, one of them had to be outstanding physically, and the other had to experience many hardships and have a stronger mind.
Natural selection, these people are naturally easy to become talented if they survive.
So this is also a kind of survival of the fittest evolution, survived, and then study and practice martial arts, naturally far beyond ordinary people, the slightest chance can become a famous hero in history.
In the 80s, almost all children born survived, and in the 90s and even after the new century, the survival rate of newborn babies increased significantly.
It's just that the population is large, and if you want to read a book like ancient times, read a national champion, and read a name in history, the difficulty is geometrically multiplied.
Of course, with a large population base, there are still many people who study and become the pride of the sky.
Each era has its own characteristics.
All the way north.
The list of the envoys had already been delivered to the camp in the north of the Jiangbei camp of the Jin Kingdom, and the time for negotiations had been drawn up, so Li Fengwu and his entourage were not in a hurry, and rushed to Jiangbei leisurely.
Soon, Li Fengwu found that Zhao Yunzhao was really not an ordinary person.
This product is a fellow scholar of the macro word and erudite discipline, and worshiped the great Confucian and Southern Song Dynasty Xianggong Zhu Zhuo as a teacher, plus the identity of the son of the clan, it stands to reason that he is about thirty years old and in the prime of life, and he should be able to be a good official, but he was speechless in a conversation, and he was chased by the emperor when he went to Honglu Temple.
Li Fengwu keenly discovered this, and suddenly knew in his heart that this product was afraid that there were real materials, and it should be a faction that opposed Zhao Gouchan located in Zhao Yan, otherwise he would not have been chased by Zhao Gou to the equivalent of the abandoned Honglu Temple.
This involves Zhao Gou's Zen position in his prime.
Zhao Gou lived to be eighty-one years old, and Zhao Yan was in his fifties, which is an incredible thing in ancient and modern times.
An emperor who has lived for more than eighty years, and his fifties are at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period for him, and it is also the time when his ability to govern the country is the strongest, but Zhao Gou is in the Zen position of Zhao Yan at this time, and there are many things that can be elusive.
