What Renzong tells her to do, she will do. Su Xiaoyou, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun", is a smart woman, and she knows that everything she is doing now comes from Renzong. If it weren't for the man in front of her, her father might still be in prison now, and life would be a problem after he came out, let alone such a beautiful life.

Why did she lose to the princess of Xilan this time, Su Xiaoyou already knew clearly that Chen Shimei's attitude in it played a role in determining the surname.

There is an incognito alliance between her and Chen Shimei, although the two have rarely contacted each other over the years, but they do not contact each other in order not to let others notice their previous relationship. Chen Shimei should know very well that Xia Zhu and herself are an alliance, and Xia Zhu is helping her Su Xiaoyou speak. Why would he object this time?

I think it is because I have deliberately kept a distance between myself and Chen Shimei in recent years, which has made the relationship between the two people a little rusty. Her father did some business in Chen Shimei's Chamber of Commerce, but Su Xiaoyou never let her father be too conspicuous.

It seems that when Chen Shimei comes back this time, she still has to move around more. Renzong is already fifty years old, and the chance of having another son is almost gone. And Zhao Shu is also fourteen years old this year, in order to ensure the stability of the rest of her life, Su Xiaoyou has to help Zhao Shu ascend to the crown prince, and she needs Chen Shimei to support her at this point.

The palace people outside shouted: "Long live, the two princesses are asking to see long live outside the palace." ”

Renzong's closed eyes suddenly opened, and he said with a wry smile: "When I came, I knew that they would definitely come." ”

Su Xiaoyou's hand was taken away from Renzong's body: "Your Majesty, the princess came to visit you just after you came back, which shows that they have you as the father in their hearts, and you should be happy." ”

Renzong shook his head slightly: "These two daughters of mine are too clear. The eldest princess must have come to inquire about Li Wei's news, and as for Yi'er, she came to be a lobbyist for Yelu Hongji. ”

After Yelu Hongji was escorted to Bianjing, Renzong did not even drag him to parade through the streets, and after entering the city gate, he was strictly protected, and did not let him show up until he entered the top of the court. He hadn't figured out what to do with Yeluhongki, and because of that, those who were worried about Yeluhongji's fate were terrified, such as Yeluhong.

Zhao Yi came to see him this time, for example, he was entrusted by Yelu Lingling to probe his own style.

Su Xiaoyou was slightly blessed: "Long live, the concubine went down first." ”

Renzong didn't let her go: "You don't have to avoid it, they are talking about some family matters, you just have to be here, and I will go to you later." ”

Su Xiaoyou's heart was secretly happy.

Li Wei has now been sent to Goryeo by Chen Yuan, and he took 20,000 Song troops as the vanguard of the Song Dynasty to report the funeral in Goryeo, and also to ensure the stability of the situation in Goryeo, so that Wang Hui's child can ascend to the position of king of Goryeo.

Wen Yanbo also sent people to negotiate with the Liao people, hoping that Yelu Negolu would return Wang Hui's body. Of course, this is not unconditional, the Liao people are not generous, Wen Yanbo is ready, in exchange for five Liao generals who were captured by the Song army, and even the conditions can be higher.

Judging from the current situation, things are not too bad, the Song army wants to retrieve Wang Hui's body, and is willing to send a large number of troops to meet the Goryeo who escaped from the massacre that night so that they can return safely. The bereavement of more than 100,000 people was also reported to the imperial court, and Wen Yanbo promised all the vassal states that the Song Dynasty would never fail to fulfill its promise just because Wang Hui died.

This somewhat moved the other vassal states, thinking of the Song Dynasty's dispatch of troops to help Xilan and Peng Dan restore the country, and those vassal states felt that the boss of the Song Dynasty was worth following for a while. At the time when Chen Yuan proposed the existence of military alliances as a normal institution, the vassal states did not show much resistance.

Even the Asans were very active and asked to join this military alliance.

Chen Yuan was very clear about the current situation of the Asan, and the Seljuk Turks who had launched the Crusades in history had now fought to the side of the Asan. The old Roman Holy Empire also seemed to be revitalized, all of which made the Assans feel uneasy, and at the same time, they wanted to get a little oil and water out of the unease.

They knew very well that they could not compete with the Seljuk Turks except for the war elephants that could scare people, whether it was the fighting quality of the army or the weaponry. That's why they boarded this chariot of the Great Song Dynasty.

Once they joined this alliance and fought the Turks, they fought themselves. If they can't be defeated, Song Jun has an obligation to help them.

Chen Yuan and the others have been doing things to form this alliance these days. Wen Yanbo is also very supportive of this plan, and in his opinion, once the alliance is formed, it will be of great help to his future work as a privy envoy.

Even though they knew the intentions of the Asan people, Chen Yuan and Wen Yanbo did not refuse them, and first signed a treaty of mutual assistance with the Chola State, and then Dali, Goryeo, Champong, Tibet, Uighurs, and so on.

The Javanese were excluded from the alliance, and the Song dynasty fulfilled its promise to the Srivijaya and at the same time did not pull the Sriwijaya into the alliance for the sake of good face. Another person who did not join the alliance was Tsushima, because Chen Yuan was going to annex that island country to the Great Song Dynasty, and establish a sea defense system of the Great Song Dynasty based on the island chain that had not been given to China in later generations.

It may not be useful now, but Chen Yuan believes that with Zhang Kuangzheng's ocean, a new wave of maritime trade will inevitably be set off. Its arrival will promote the development of the maritime industry, and one day after the era of naval warfare comes, even if any country can challenge the Song Dynasty, this island chain will become the most powerful defense circle of the Great Song Dynasty, ensuring the absolute security of the interior.

Today, Wen Yanbo has just signed an agreement with Jiaozhi, which is the last agreement of the Great Song Dynasty, a total of thirteen countries, and the neighbors on land except for Mongolia have basically joined this alliance.

Mongolia does not sign because they are not yet a country.

Wen Yanbo looked at the pile of documents in front of him, with a smile on his face, the defeat of the Goryeo people had been left behind by him: "Chen Juma, once this treaty is signed, the next thing we have to do is to let every country that has signed a treaty with us make the same agreement with each other." With this agreement, it will be much easier for us to deal with diplomatic relations in the future. ”

Di Qing smiled beside him: "That's the case, no matter what the problem is, what the contradiction, we can solve it through negotiation, although it takes a long time, but it is much better than fighting." ”

Wen Yanbo turned his head to look at Di Qing: "I thought you liked to fight very much." ”

Di Qing didn't explain anything to him, it's not himself who really likes to fight, there are countless brothers who die on the battlefield in every war, and the soldiers killed in the Song Dynasty before and after this time reached 200,000, watching the names of these soldiers being written on the merit list, every general's heart will be comfortable.

It is the businessmen of Chen Shimei who like war. Since the war with Li Yuanhao back then, Di Qing felt a little strange, when did these guys become so generous? It wasn't until later that he understood what war those merchants didn't make a lot of money?

Just look at the current Liao State, the merchants' workshops are desperately built, even faster than the speed at which the government is built. Di Qing had already seen Chen Yuan's set very thoroughly, and in the eyes of these merchants, the soldiers' surnames were like ants. Although the scholars despised the generals, they had at least one degree.

But the merchants didn't, and they could sacrifice everything for their profits.

Di Qing was powerless to change this situation, and he didn't want to change this situation. Do you need soldiers to die? It doesn't matter, in fact, this is also a transaction, and the soldiers are selling their lives, as long as the price is high enough.

Seeing Di Qing's silence, Chen Yuan thought that he was annoyed by Wen Yanbo's words, and said with a smile: "General Di Qing is right, when we encounter disputes with the surrounding vassal states in the future, we can pull them to the negotiation table, so that people like Lord Wen who are full of poetry and books will have a place to play." If anyone dares not to come, dares to violate the agreement, we can call on everyone to fight him together. ”

Wen Yanbo smiled when he heard this, the best thing for the scholar is to talk to him, no matter who he negotiates with, as long as the other party can understand the human language, the scholar has a way.

"But the war still has to be fought, the alliance has just been formed, the system is not perfect, there must be people who are not convinced, or there are things that we have not considered, so we must be fully prepared and ensure sufficient military strength in order to make those people obey our mediation."

Wen Yanbo also knew this truth, and nodded after listening to Chen Yuan's words: "Chen Yuma, you always feel that there is something wrong with the formation of Mongolian cavalry, we will pay for the Mongols to fight for us, but the Mongols will inevitably become stronger and stronger in the battle, how can you guarantee that they will still listen to us in the future?" Wouldn't it be dangerous if those people were deceived by others and stabbed us? Besides, one day we don't have a battle for them to fight, so how about it? ”

Chen Yuan scratched his head, he was not sure that this problem would be successful, especially now that Mu Lihe was still alive, which made Chen Yuan's plan full of variables at any time. But if you want to turn a wolf into a dog, you always need to risk being bitten by a wolf.

What's more, the Song army now doesn't even have the ability to attack the Liao State, and the affairs of Mongolia are even more out of reach, so at this time, even if it is the best, it is the most expedient to use this method.

When discussing this issue, the soldiers on guard outside suddenly came in and said to the three of them: "Three adults, the envoy of the Liao State, Zhang Yao, asks to see you." ”

The three of them said at the same time: "What is he doing again?" ”

Although Wen Yanbo had contact with the people of Liao again, he knew that if Yelu sent someone to negotiate, this person would definitely not be Zhang Li's, and a faint premonition told Chen Yuan that the affairs of Liao might be variable again.
