Zheng Lang thought for a long time and shook his head. Not only was he thinking of a solution, but he also guessed that Liao Xingzong was also thinking of a solution. It's a weird scene, but it's not funny at all.

Chong Kui also thought about the consequences, and was so anxious that he wandered around in the tent.

Suddenly, Zheng Lang smiled.

"Zheng Xianggong, come up with a good plan?"

"There is no good strategy, but a reality, is it obvious that the Khitan wants to recruit me."

"Yes, but not directly."

"But we know it. I want to escape from the Khitan, do the Khitan people know it, and they also know that Yang Xi and Wang Heixing don't know our inside story, but I have also hinted to these guards before that there will be a way to take them to escape from the Khitan. They betrayed, didn't they snitch? In fact, everyone knows in their hearts, even if the queen mother stabs her, the two sides continue to pretend to be stupid, what if you stab it open? ”

He is only clever with a golden finger, and in terms of strategy, it is strange that he can withstand so many Khitan ministers alone.

As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Hui had already come in.

Zheng Lang said: "Wei Guogong, the words of the Queen Mother just now made me feel quite uneasy. ”

"Zheng Xianggong, don't worry, the Queen Mother has ignored government affairs for many years and doesn't know the situation, so she said that."

"But I have been in Khitan for a long time, and when His Majesty invited me to assist in your imperial examination, I did so. Autumn is coming, and it's time for me to go back. ”

"Zheng Xianggong, my lord has admired your name for a long time in the Northern Dynasty, and I am very happy to see it. Moreover, the edict written to you by the emperor of the Southern Dynasty also said that you are allowed to act cheaply. This is also for the friendship between the two countries, not to cause war, and to benefit the people of Lebanon. Besides, we Khitan make a bowl at four o'clock, and you haven't finished reading it yet. Why don't you go back to the south after the spring bowl next year? ”

"Spring bowl...... I'm afraid I may not be used to the cold of the north. ”

"Zheng Xianggong, no matter how wronged you are, you can still freeze."

"Then that's the limit."

"One word is decided, either come to my tent today and get together, or the other is to suppress the shock. The second is to show your training of the little girl. ”

"Okay."

Xiao Hui walked out with a relieved face.

Guo Kui was a little dazed.

Zheng Lang asked, "Zhongtong, what are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking about politics."

"Politics?"

"Thick ......

"Politics is brazen, isn't it?"

Guo Kui was inconvenient to answer, this circumference would wrap Zheng Lang in.

Zheng Lang was not angry and said: "Politics is originally black and thick. Black-hearted, brazen. But you have to remember one sentence, no matter how thick and dark, when benefiting yourself, don't forget the country and the people. ”

Guo Kui couldn't help laughing.

This scene made him feel a little emotional, and he had already torn his face apart, but there was nothing happening on both sides. Including Zheng Lang. At this time, Zheng Lang's sacred status in his heart was seriously reduced, but he had a more intimate feeling. Anyway, Zheng Lang is definitely not the kind of gentleman he thinks in his heart.

With a little relief, this hurdle passed. Guo Kui took a sip of tea and said, "Zheng Xianggong, but it's still too shameful for our Great Song Dynasty." ”

"That's the shame I want. Many people in the Song Dynasty were reluctant to steal peace, and if they were not brave enough to be ashamed, the Song Dynasty would no longer be self-motivated. An unmotivated country. Only the fate of perdition awaits it. Zhongtong, this time, we can see many places in Khitan. You have to look closely, too. I'm not afraid of humiliation, but I'm afraid that I don't know how to get this humiliation back. Zheng Lang said, looking at the big forest connected to the sky in the distance, although this trip was very dangerous. Once successful, you will add a good qualification to yourself.

When he returned, Zheng Lang had already begun to prepare for further improvements to the Song Dynasty!

It takes competence as well as prestige.

In the evening, when he came to drink in Xiao Hui's tent, Liao Xingzong personally brought Yelu Hongji over to help the fun. also let Yelu Hongji salute Zheng Lang with a glass of wine. The conversation was very pleasant, and the things of the day did not happen at all. …,

This made Guo Kui further realize the brazenness of politics.

But since that day, nothing has happened.

Until the end of the autumn bowl, I had to change places again, and moved to Zhonghuichuan in October. Afraid that his mother would be troubled, Liao Xingzong simply put his mother in Zhongjing City. We're none of your business. Leave it alone.

Without his mother's constraints, Liao Xingzong got another piece of good news, the four women stayed by Zheng Lang's side, the family thief was difficult to prevent, Zheng Lang couldn't prevent it, and let them steal Zheng Lang's seal letter, or the official seal, but not stealing, but knocking the seal on the paper, knocking on a hundred pieces of paper, and putting the seal back in its place.

Liao Xingzong was overjoyed when he saw these stamped white papers. With this thing, you can pretend to be Zheng Lang to write a fold, and recruiting Zheng Lang's plan will get twice the result with half the effort. Give them to Liu Liufu, write articles, and let the Han people do it.

Happy, they gathered the Khitan ministers for a banquet, and also called Zheng Lang and Guo Kui to the banquet.

Liao Xingzong ordered the ministers to drink wine, and the loser was punished for drinking a huge price, which has nothing to do with Zheng Lang, and it is estimated that if this giant wine continues, Zheng Lang will not be able to distinguish between east and west, north and south.

Yelu Hongji looked at Zheng Lang's expression and happily raised the giant to demonstrate. It seems that this Han teacher is still inferior to his own, such as archery, such as drinking.

Zheng Lang rolled his eyes.

The master and apprentice talked with their eyes, but something happened at the banquet.

It was the turn of the Khitan Southern Court Xuanhui to make Ye Luyi first confront Xiao Ge, the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, and Ye Luyi first soothed: "The ministers can't enter the virtuous and retreat, but An can fight with the national thief?" ”

The contradiction between these two people is quite similar to the contradiction between Fan Zhongyan and Lu Yijian in the early years, Ye Luyi first looked down on Xiao Gexi's dictatorship, and repeatedly admonished Liao Xingzong, saying that Xiao Ge was cunning and chaotic, and once he used it greatly, he would mislead the country.

Zheng Lang turned his head and looked at Xiao Ge, what was his reaction.

Xiao Ge was very embarrassed, but his head was very flexible, and he said, "Don't you feel too much about public jokes?" ”

It's a joke.

Everyone has a staircase.

Liao Xingzong nodded in approval. But he nodded, and Yeluyi came up again in anger and said, "Traitor, who is joking with you." ”

Here's the big problem.

Liao Xingzong said: "Qing is drunk. ”

You drank too much, talked about wine, and gave another step. However, Yelu Yixian was still angry and scolded, but helplessly, the Khitan queen Xiao Tzuli came forward and said: "Yiyi is drunk first, and he is drunk and crazy, and he can be cured when he wakes up." ”

As he spoke, he made a look and sent someone to forcibly help him out.

Zheng Lang whispered to Guo Kui: "Empress Xian." ”

This pretty young woman is not simple, if it weren't for the Khitan influence, she would be no less than the eldest grandson queen of the Tang Dynasty and the queen of Ma in the Ming Dynasty. Liu E can be compared slightly. But in terms of rights, women can't let go of it. None of Zhao Zhen's concubines can match it, including the Zhang family and Empress Cao.

After Yeluyi made a fuss first, this wine banquet broke up unhappily. The next day, Liao Xingzong said to Xiao Ge: "Righteousness is rude. Dethroned. ”

Xiao Ge replied: "The righteous first, how can he escape the holy book, everyone in the world knows that he is loyal and upright, and he asks for guilt with wine, for fear that the world will be disappointed." ”

Liao Xingzong's eyes were full of appreciation for Xiao Ge.

Suddenly, a rider came from afar and handed Liao Xingzong a letter, and Liao Xingzong opened it and took a look. His face changed dramatically.

……

Xiao Yunjin was placed under house arrest by his son for nearly a month, feeling ashamed and humiliated, and in a fit of rage, he sent his cronies to Zhongjing to spread the news to the merchants of the Song Dynasty in the two countries of Hebei. Tell the story as it is. Including Zheng Lang did not give the Khitan official position, was isolated by the Khitan, sent a woman to infiltrate Zheng Lang's side to find out the news, and the betrayal of Yang and Wang. One after another, two or three more guards bought for the Khitan, and they all said. Fortunately, Xiao Yunjin didn't know about stealing the letter. So it was not distributed.

At this time, the people of the Song Dynasty were concerned about Zheng Lang's fate, and all kinds of bad discussions caused all kinds of rumors among the people. …,

Zhao Zhen also knew that if this continued, it would have an impact on Zheng Lang's reputation, but if the truth could not be announced, he could not forcibly block the mouths of the people in the world.

But in the hearts of the people, they still don't believe that Zheng Lang will do those things.

This news was released in a timely manner, faster than the Khitan and Jia Chang Dynasty at the beginning, and quickly spread throughout the Song Dynasty.

In the real Song Dynasty, the real conservative and cowardly were those powerful nobles. The common people are not cowardly. The Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty can be compared, the Ming Dynasty died and died, and there was no fart, but the Northern Song Dynasty died, and the northern uprisings continued. The Southern Song Dynasty died, and there were still rebels.

So the Song Dynasty fought several times with foreign enemies. There are often stories of total annihilation and no surrender of the army.

From the common people to the people's scholars, there are many people who have powerful blood, but this kind of powerful blood is suppressed by the imperial court.

Xiao Yunjin spread the truth, and after hearing about it, many people were hot, Your Majesty, you are too disappointing, you give 500,000 a year, for the sake of your eldest daughter, you have to let your biggest hero suffer this great humiliation. Now that there is more than one bad luck, why don't you keep quiet?

First of all, many scholars wrote books under their names, and the folds of the books were like snowflakes, and I didn't know that there were hundreds of thousands of letters every day.

Zhao Zhen didn't know whether to be relieved or smile bitterly in the palace.

There are such ordinary people, Zhao Zhen likes it very much. If the people are cowardly, how can they deal with foreign enemies? But in doing so, they are not doing good things, but doing bad things. Why is New Year's Day coming soon, and there is such a thing?

He was thinking of countermeasures, and seeing that the imperial court was indifferent, and the public opinion was greater, many scholars and doctors gradually participated. Then many scholars in the capital lay down outside the Xuande Gate, and asked the imperial court to send an envoy to negotiate with the Khitan forcefully and be sure to rescue Zheng Lang. If you don't return it, you won't give it the 500,000-year-old coin, so if you start a war, you're afraid of something. The Khitans can't even beat the Western Xia, so what can they do with the Song Dynasty?

Finally caused the outbreak of the court meeting.

Many ministers admonished together, Your Majesty, you can't do this.

Zhao Zhen thought to himself, what did I do? When Zheng Lang sent an envoy to the Khitan, which of you didn't know that it would be dangerous? Why no one speaks, dare to love is a punching bag.

Jia Changchao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister also thinks that Zheng Lang is very dangerous at this time, and only the negotiation is to make Zheng Lang unable to come back, and he needs to threaten the Khitan with the New Year's coin." ”

How many ministers know the truth? I thought that Jia Changchao had a rare fair remark, and they echoed it one after another.

Zhao Zhen was helpless, he was calculating the time in his heart, Zheng Lang said that as early as February, late in March, there was a way to leave the Khitan, but the mood of the domestic zealous was stabilized, and now in the winter month, the north is full of snow, and it is difficult to walk, at least until the end of the first month to return to the capital. However, by the time of the envoy in February, Zheng Lang had probably not left the Khitan. At least a month's buffer time is required. So he said: "Send an envoy to negotiate first, and if the Khitan doesn't let Zheng Qing come back, then discuss." Ladies and gentlemen, who do you think is appropriate? ”

Everyone, keep fighting, preferably for a month, and the time will be there. By the way, under the pretext of New Year's Day, he sent an envoy.

Everyone launched envoys, Zeng Gongliang's last envoy was useless and could not be used again. So a new dispute arose, and seeing a few people arguing, Zhao Zhen said: "Scatter the dynasty." ”

It has nothing to do with me, it's that the minister didn't choose the candidate well, so what should I do?

In addition, he used some small means, and public opinion turned to the ministers in the court, thinking that the ministers were incompetent.

Such a big rumor also fed back to the Khitan.

Liao Xingzong's face turned pale with anger. had to give an order, so that the border people should not talk nonsense without authorization, otherwise there would be no forgiveness for killing, and warned Xiao Yunjin's cronies. Whoever dares to talk nonsense will also be killed.

Her mother had no choice but to intimidate these subordinates.

Xiao Yunjin was furious when he heard this, you dare to threaten the people around me for the sake of a courtier in the Song Dynasty? Angrily, he rushed from Nakakyo to Zhonghuichuan. …,

……

Zheng Lang was teaching Yelu Hongji the Analects.

Ye Luyi broke in first, and Zheng Lang had no choice but to arch his hand and say, "I've seen Xuanwei Envoy, I don't know what you're here for?" ”

"Zheng Xianggong. I'm here to ask Zheng Xianggong for something," Ye Luyi suddenly knelt down.

Zheng Lang was startled, he couldn't help but couldn't help, after all, Yeluyi was a famous Khitan brave general first, and he had great strength, Zheng Lang couldn't keep up, so he said helplessly: "Xuanwei envoy, you say." I can do what I can, and I can't agree to what I can't. ”

Don't let me deal with Xiao Ge, I don't have that ability.

"I only ask Zheng Xianggong to teach King Liang not to trust those servants in the future. Be a good Highness, please. Yeluyi first said the old tears.

Although it is impossible for Zheng Lang to educate Yelu Hongji to be a promising emperor despite the hostile relationship, he still has some emotion when he looks at this loyal minister, and says: "Xuanwei envoy, do you think I have that kind of flattering character?" ”

Jerod shook his head first.

"I have also taught several students, most of whom hold official positions, and each of them has a good official style. Although I don't dare to say that education is good, I don't dare to say that I educate His Highness. It's just to learn and communicate, but with my personality, will I guide King Liang to like some bad things or people? ”

"Thank you, Zheng Xianggong," Ye Luyi stood up first, and walked out with a wipe of old tears.

Yelu Hongji was frightened by this minister and did not speak. Zheng Lang said: "Your Highness, you go back first." ”

When he left, Guo Kui said: "This person is a loyal minister." ”

"It's a loyal minister, but it's not a capable minister."

"How?"

"Think about Fan Xiwen in the early years, the two are quite similar, the wise thing to do is to either influence Xiao Ge, or design to make the Khitan Emperor distrust Xiao Ge, such a rampage, in addition to causing contradictions and divisions in the Khitan, what can it do?"

Zheng Lang became more and more vague about the so-called concept of loyal ministers and traitorous ministers. On the contrary, the concept of employing people has become clear, and Xiao Ge will not have a big problem if he uses it in the hands of Liao Xingzong, but if he uses it in the hands of Yelu Hongji, there will be a big problem. Similarly, Yelu Yi will not be in danger if he uses it in the hands of Liao Xingzong first, but if he uses it in the hands of Yelu Hongji, he will die at any time.

Guo Kui hadn't comprehended it yet, and couldn't help but slowly reminisce about the meaning of Zheng Lang's words.

Zheng Lang said again: "People must learn to back down, even if it is Your Majesty, they must learn to tolerate and back down." Why was Yang Jian's usurpation successful, but the stronger Wang Mang's usurpation failed? It was his forcible reform, and some laws and regulations were not one-yuan, but because Wang Mang was rampant and unscrupulous, he offended many people, so the world was in turmoil, and he died in the chaos for a few years. ”

Don't talk about the minister, even if it's Zhao Zhen, if he is not careful and gets angry, there is a possibility that the world will mutiniate and something bad will happen. Moreover, Jerod was a courtier.

Guo Kui's eyes lit up.

Teaching him these things is to protect Guo Kui in the future.

This is the future famous general of the Song Dynasty, if you don't know how to protect yourself, you will die prematurely, which will be detrimental to the entire Song Dynasty.

Just as he was about to have lunch, Xiao Yunjin stepped on the snowflakes and broke into his tent again.

Seeing this crazy woman, Zheng Lang's lips trembled a little. Xiucai encounters soldiers, and he can't explain it clearly, even if he meets a soldier, he can still explain it clearly, but when he meets this queen mother, he can't explain anything. Succumbed to his status, he had to salute.

Xiao Yunjin behaved very calmly, sat down and asked, "Zheng Lang, you came to envoy Khitan because you want the relationship between the two countries to become better and benefit the people of the two countries, right?" ”

"Exactly."

"I'm afraid you won't gain more than you lose. The reason why my son invited you to Khitan is not for the relationship between the two countries, but for you personally. Will you surrender to our dynasty for the sake of two countries? ”

"One minister is not the king of two countries, and the minister will not," Zheng Lang's scalp was numb, and he replied stubbornly.

"Since you don't plan to return to our dynasty, from now on, find a way to escape from our Daliao to the Southern Dynasty, otherwise in April next year, my son will kill you. Once you are killed, the Southern Dynasty will not be reconciled, on the contrary, the war between the two countries will resume, and they will take the opposite path as you think. After Xiao Yunjin finished speaking, he left lightly, not staying, but returning to Zhongjing. …,

Just a few words, the last shred of the veil of shame was torn off naked, and there was no room for recovery. It is even possible that in order to deal with his son, Xiao Yunjin can send someone to kill Zheng Lang.

Zheng Lang and Guo Kui were dumbfounded.

Not only Zheng Lang and Guo Kui, but even the Khitan monarchs and ministers did not react.

Until the evening, Xiao Guanyin broke in and practiced calligraphy.

Whether she really learned calligraphy, or whether Xiao Hui sent her, is unknown.

Zheng Lang tried to control the emotions in his heart, and still taught Xiao Guanyin to write in the same gentle tone as usual.

Liu Fei'er came in from outside, saw them, came over to make tea for them, handed over a cup of tea, and stood on the side to read the words. After a while, I went out again. Zheng Lang didn't ask.

After a while, Liao Xingzong and Xiao Huizhen walked in.

If the mother comes to talk about it, it can't be revealed. How to answer? If you don't submit to our Khitan next year, we won't kill you, and let you go back? or lied, Zheng Lang didn't believe it, but was despised by Zheng Lang.

Liao Xingzong looked at it and said, "Good words." ”

There is no way to say anything other than this.

"Thank you for your majesty's compliment," Zheng Lang's head turned sharply, grandma's, this Xiao Yunjin made his son very hard, and he also made himself very hard. His eyes were staring at Xiao Guanyin's small hand writing, but his thoughts didn't know where.

Xiao Guanyin raised his head and asked, "Zheng Xianggong, see how well I write this character?" ”

Zheng Lang let her shout, came back to her senses, stared at the word, and praised: "Good word." ”

Talented women are different, and their talents are very good. Suddenly, he thought of a life-saving magic weapon, lowered his head and said, "You continue to write, I have something to say to Your Majesty and your father." ”

"Hmm."

A few people came to the side, sat down, and Zheng Lang said: "Your Majesty, the Duke of Wei, and the ministers have come to the Khitan, and they have also made all kinds of plans, in order to make peace between the two countries, so they can only fight wits and methods with Your Majesty." ”

Liao Xingzong is still a good man after all, some time ago hunting, the people drove domestic animals, foxes, rabbits, and pheasants into the field, afraid of worrying about the people, and said to the auxiliary ministers, hunting is a martial arts training, not for gain. Return all these domestic animals, foxes, rabbits, and pheasants to the people. It is also exempt from domestic tax for one year. Hearing that the drought in Youzhou was affected, he helped the poor people in Nanjing.

After hearing this, his expression was stunned.

Zheng Lang continued: "Actually, the minister doesn't like it, and it's not the minister's character after all. Since the Queen Mother is open, it is better to let the ministers dare to make an agreement with His Majesty. ”

"What agreement?"

"Your Majesty's April period is too short, how about next May? His Majesty is allowed to use all kinds of means to make the ministers return to their hearts, and if the ministers do not return to their hearts by then, it is not too late for Your Majesty to kill the ministers. If Your Majesty can bring your ministers to your heart, your Majesty will use them. But there are three conditions, one is to cooperate with the minister to bring his family to your country. ”

Liao Xingzong, Xiao Hui and Guo Kui's mouths were all open.

Zheng Lang said casually, "Is this condition not allowed?" ”

"Exactly."

Zheng Lang said again: "If you return to the Khitan, although the four girls sent by His Majesty are beautiful, although they are one in a hundred, they are all girls from the Han family, and their names are not right. You must promise your ministers to choose a concubine. ”

"Whose lady does Zheng Qing fancie?"

Zheng Lang's eyes looked at Xiao Guanyin.

It's messy, it's not messy, it's very meaningful, and it's to prevent Xiao Yunjin.

Xiao Hui foamed at the mouth, sat on the ground, and shouted in his throat: "You are a beast......
