After writing a song "Water Tune Song Head", Chen Yuan sighed, looking at Chen Shimei's calligraphy, and the eternal masterpieces of Shangsu Dongpo. There's no way, Brother Su, oh no, it should be called Su Xian's nephew. Uncle in order to live, borrow your masterpiece to use it!

Chen Yuan was very satisfied with it, and then wrote extremely shamelessly at the beginning: "Give Linghua." Chen Shimei's name was written on the check-in place.

Do you want to plagiarize another song? I don't want it today, let's put it out first, and then let's see the movement.

This was not enough, Chen Yuan then wrote another confession. This is a must, everything is like this, now there must be people who want to let themselves carry this big thing, rather than waiting for them to push over, it is better to take the initiative yourself.

What's more, Renzong is a benevolent emperor, which is recognized in history, if he confesses his guilt a little better, there should be a way to live, right? I don't know, anyway, benevolent people generally eat soft rather than hard.

Chen Yuan frankly admitted his impulse at that time in the book, it was impulsive! Not deliberately. He said that he had drunk too much at the time, and that everything was an impulse that happened in an irrational situation! He has clearly realized that his behavior is wrong, and it has brought very serious consequences to the Great Song Dynasty, to the party mission, and to himself. Now he regrets his actions and is willing to accept any punishment.

This paragraph is written with sincerity, and there is no flowery rhetoric, which makes people seem to have a very decent attitude of confession.

In the end, Chen Yuan said the key issue, that is, to ask for a chance to reform himself, to punish him lightly, so that he can contribute a little bit of his own strength to the development of the Great Song Dynasty, and so on.

This confession is just a supporting role, just an excuse for others, so that those who feel that it is a pity to die after watching the song "Water Tune Song Head" have a reason to intercede for themselves. Chen Yuan didn't know if there was such a person, but he was very sure that the water tune song would definitely be a sensation!

"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky......" Renzong watched it several times in a row, and every time he saw it, he felt very charming, and there seemed to be a string in his heart that had been touched.

"This, is it really written by Chen Shimei?" Renzong looked at Bao Zheng and asked.

Bao Zheng immediately replied: "Long live Hui, this is indeed written by Chen Shimei, Weichen has inquired clearly from the jailer in the prison, Chen Shimei sent this poem out in the morning, and by the afternoon, it had already spread all over Bianjing." ”

Renzong closed his eyes and asked again after a while, "It's not surprising that such a masterpiece will surely attract people to read it." There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete. Aiqing, do you say that this is Chen Shimei's lovesickness for his current situation, or is it because the current situation inspires his lovesickness? ”

Bao Zheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, he never thought that Renzong would still have the heart to discuss this poem with him at this time. After hesitating for a while, Bao Zheng said: "Weichen doesn't know! It's just that Chen Shimei's ability to write this kind of artistic conception must be related to his current mood. ”

Renzong nodded: "It's a pity, it's a pity." With such talent, I really can't make up my mind. Did Zhang Yuan rush it? ”

When Bao Zheng heard this, he knew that Renzong had softened his heart at this time.

Chen Yuan's confession was written to Dali Temple, because Chen Yuan could guess that if he had a chance to pass through the court in a few days, it must be Bao Zheng who interrogated him. What he didn't expect was that Renzong's attitude was determined to kill him, and Renzong's attitude was the key to this matter.

Bao Zheng didn't want to kill Chen Shimei, he really didn't want to. In Bao Zheng's opinion, although this Chen Shimei is a little ostentatious, she is not bad. So Bao Zheng also wanted to help Chen Yuan survive.

Hearing that Renzong was soft-hearted, Bao Zheng immediately took out Chen Yuan's confession: "Long live!" This is the Chen Shimei sent out of prison this morning, please long live. ”

Renzong took it and looked at it carefully. Compared with the water tune song head, this confession is much simpler, Chen Yuan completely wrote out his mental activities at that time, because after drinking, after seeing the party people bullying women, he was angry and wanted to drive the party members out of the inn, and then the two sides fought. Until Zhan Zhao came, the remorse in his heart after he was put in the prison car, Chen Yuan wrote it clearly, even more detailed than the confession in the court.

What satisfied Renzong the most was that Chen Yuan took all his sins on his shoulders, saying that his sins were unforgivable, but he begged to leave a way to live.

This means that as long as he makes this confession public, there will be no trouble in killing Chen Yuan, and Renzong can tell everyone that Chen Yuan deserves it, even he himself admits it! But do you really want to kill? There was no trouble, but Renzong's heart hesitated.

"Bao Aiqing, this Chen Shimei is very simple, and she has never shirked it." Renzong closed the confession and said with his hand on the table. As he spoke, his eyes turned to the song "Water Tune Song Head" again.

Bao Zheng smiled slightly: "He is such a person, and the trouble in this case is not Chen Shimei, but a member of the party." Your Majesty, there is no problem with how we deal with Chen Shimei, but it is difficult to say whether the party members are satisfied. Even if we kill someone, then Li Yuanhao still wants us to do something else in the future. ”

Of course, Renzong understood that when Chen Shimei was just arrested, Li Yuanhao told Renzong that the blood of the party members would not be shed in vain. What does this mean? It means that Li Yuanhao may use this as an excuse to ask for money, land, and food in the future. Even if they are not satisfied, they will start a war.

It was precisely because Renzong understood that he wanted to kill Chen Shimei quickly, and talk about this matter when Li Yuanhao did not dare to turn his face with the Song Dynasty now. But Li Yuanhao seemed to mean that he was afraid of him and was aggressive.

Why does everyone think they are afraid of him? Liao thought he was afraid, and sent people to ask for an increase in the New Year's currency every year, and Li Yuanhao didn't even have hard wings, and he thought he was afraid of him! Even the Tibetan envoy dared to threaten himself at every turn, couldn't they see that they were not afraid of them, but afraid of war!

I just don't want to fight! If the Great Song soldiers are strong and strong, this Chen Shimei will be killed if he should be killed, and he will be released when he should be released, why do you look at your Li Yuanhao's face! These were the true thoughts of Renzong's heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

Because Renzong is really afraid of war!

The Song Dynasty's foreign wars were almost repeatedly defeated, and there used to be a Yang family to support the Great Song Dynasty, but now there is only one widow left in the Yang Gate, and he really doesn't dare to fight anymore!

If the soldiers are strong, it's just ifs. The current situation is that even if Bao Zheng's words sting Renzong, he can only listen.

"Your Majesty, Lu Xiangguo asks to see you."

The eunuch outside the door replied loudly, and Renzong threw away the troubles in his heart: "Let him come in." ”

After Lu Yijian entered the door, he bowed first, then knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the Liao State sent a letter of state to Yelu Nie Gulu, asking the Emperor to immediately appoint a suitable minister to talk with the Liao State on the current situation and the border issue between the two sides. ”

Renzong waved his hand: "Show it to me." ”

Lu Yijian handed over the letter of state that Yelu Ne had written, and Renzong read it carefully.

This is the third time that Jerne has handed in his credentials. The purpose of the Liao to negotiate with the Song Dynasty was to force the Song Dynasty to support the Liao State when the Liao State and the Dangxiang people were at war, and at the very least, to keep the Great Song Dynasty neutral.

Yelu Gurgling wrote three times, urging more and more urgently, so that Renzong hurriedly appointed the minister to negotiate! This time it was even more straightforward, if the Song Dynasty delayed any longer, then once there was friction at the border, the Liao State would not be responsible for it!

When Renzong saw this, the whole person was extremely angry! Li Yuanhao can threaten himself, and this Yelu Gollum can also threaten himself!

The territory of the Liao State was larger than that of the Song Dynasty during the Renzong period, and although it was not as prosperous economically as the Song Dynasty, the Liao people's way of fighting was not too dependent on supplies. You must face up to this credential. He also wanted to talk to Liao and the party for a long time, not to solve any problems, because negotiations could not solve problems. The final solution must be war!

The current situation is very clear, the Liao State and the Dang Xiang have already started a war, and it will not be long before the Song Dynasty will inevitably be dragged into the war, and the opponent will either be the Dang Xiang or the Liao State. What Renzong hopes now is to use negotiations to prolong the pace of the war, so that the Song Dynasty can intervene a little later, so that he can win the most advantageous position before the war.

But the question that Renzong can't solve is, who will negotiate?

"Bao Aiqing, do you think it is more appropriate for us in the Great Song Dynasty to negotiate with the Liao people." This is Renzong's attitude towards Bao Zheng and Lu Yijian. On the one hand, he needs people like Lu Yijian who know how to be cunning, and on the other hand, he knows that the entire court needs upright people like Bao Zheng and Fan Zhongyan, especially when there is such a major state affair that requires people to make ideas, he only needs to rely on people like Bao Zheng and Fan Zhongyan.

Pang Ji can't do it, Lu Yijian can't do it, they are all selfish, they will all bring their selfishness into state affairs, and then they are likely to miss a big event. Only a true gentleman can give his most pertinent advice.

Bao Zheng thought for a long time, and like Pang Ji, he came to the conclusion that unless the Ren Sect sent these important ministers in the court, the younger officials were not the opponents of Nayelu and Zhang Yuan.

Renzong was very frustrated: "I really didn't expect that my Great Song Dynasty claimed to be full of talents, but I couldn't even find a suitable person!" ”

Bao Zheng said: "Long live, there is a person in Weichen's heart, I don't know if Long Live dares to use it?" ”

What else did Renzong dare not use at this time? Immediately said: "Speak! ”

Bao Zheng hugged his fists: "Weichen protects Song Qi again!" ”

Renzong was stunned when he heard this, and he was very disappointed. Song Qi had already lost last time, and it was ugly. Renzong had no hope, and sending Song Qi was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor. So Song Qi lost, and he didn't plan to punish Song Qi.

But in the end, when Lu Yijian and Pang Ji launched an attack on these, Renzong saw some small movements in the court very clearly. He knew what Lu Yijian and Pang Ji were going to do, and he knew why they were doing it.

As a monarch, Renzong also realized at that time that it was not enough to have only gentlemen in the court, the villains of the Manchu Dynasty would perish the country, and the gentlemen of the Manchu Dynasty would not be able to prosper the country either! So he also pretended not to know, and took advantage of the situation to let Pang Ji and Lu Yijian kill back.

He didn't intend to make those righteous gentlemen too sad, but what happened later made him extremely disappointed with Song Qi, Wen Yanbo, Ouyang Xiu and others! He was disappointed that these people watched Xia Zhu and Fan Zhongyan stand up to shield them from the wind and rain, but they hid behind these two old ministers safely!

Therefore, Renzong finally punished Ouyang Xiu and them, but did not move Fan Zhongyan and Xia Zhu. He's not stupid, he sees it clearly.

When Song Qi was brought up again, Renzong was very hesitant.
