Chapter 11 Two Envoys Arrive, Three Kingdoms Negotiations

What are the conditions for the negotiation of the Liao envoys? Zhao Lei didn't know, Pang Bai didn't know that Jing and Xia Liao's envoys negotiated with Zheng Jian, the squire of the Great Song Shangshu Rite Department, didn't know. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info//, QB5, C0M//

The Yamen of the Ministry of Rites is located in the southeast of the Imperial City of the Great Song Dynasty, and the neighborhood of the secretary province, enter the right door and turn left.

The cicadas are singing in the summer morning, the sun has not yet risen, Zheng Jian, the waiter of the Shangshu Rite Department, has already come to the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and before he walked to the door, he saw Ouyang Xiu, a member of the Ministry of Rites, coming straight to him.

"Lord Ouyang is early!" Seeing Ouyang Xiu, a celebrity in the Ministry of Rites who was handpicked by the official Zhao Zhen to participate in the negotiation with Xia Liao, Zheng Jian did not dare to slack off, and said hello from afar.

"Lord Zheng didn't come sooner." After all, Ouyang Xiu was a member of the Ministry of Rites, and after seeing Zheng Jian, the waiter of the Shangshu Ministry of Rites, respectfully bowed his hand, he replied with a smile.

Looking at Ouyang Xiu, who was in the prime of life and was still energetic after a few busy days, the elderly Zheng Jian sighed and said, "Old man! Once there is something in my heart, I don't have a sense of stability, so come to the Ministry of Rites as soon as possible. ”

"Lord Zheng is still worried about the affairs of Xia Liao's envoy?" Ouyang Xiu knew that Zheng Jian had been under pressure recently, so he replied heartily.

"There is no way, it's been so many days, Xia Liao's envoy is still entangled in the matter of Han Qi's entry into Xiazhou, and all other things are avoided, what is this called, the two armies clash, and the coming is right and wrong, Western Xia enters the Song Dynasty every year to burn, kill and loot, and I haven't seen the Liao State come out to report a word of grievances, and now it's time to use my heart, I don't know how much benefit Yuan Hao gave to the Liao State." Zheng Jian shook his head and said with a wry smile.

"Xixia was defeated twice by Lord Zhao Lei in the Yongxing Military Road, and the national strength was seriously overdrawn, what benefit is there to the Liao State, I am afraid that the only benefit will fall on the princess of the Liao State for the prince of Yuan Haosheng, and the son of the princess of the Liao State will be the prince. It was Yuan Hao who had already agreed to the conditions of the Liao State, and the Liao State now supports the Western Xia so much, I am afraid that Yuan Hao intends to abdicate to the son of the princess of the Liao State. Ouyang Xiu smiled slightly and said to Zheng Jian in a deep voice.

"Impossible, who doesn't know Yuan Hao's character, how can he do that kind of stupid thing in a generation of heroes, and besides, Yuan Hao has no faith, how can Liao Guo believe in Yuan Hao's promise." Zheng Jian said in one denial of Ouyang Xiu's thoughts.

"We are familiar with Yuan Hao, but the people of Liao are not familiar with it! Yuan Hao has been groveling to the Liao State for so many years, and in the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State, Yuan Hao is probably a very good person. Fooling the fools of Liao is not a problem for Yuan Hao. Ouyang Xiu said indifferently and insisted.

"Maybe the Liao Congress was deceived by Yuan Hao, but we still don't know the bottom line and purpose of the negotiations between Xia and Liao, which does not help the current negotiations at all, the Yongxing military road is first a big drought, and then a locust plague, if the war continues to drag on, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will be dragged down, and the end of the Song and Xia confrontation as soon as possible is an order from the official family to the Ministry of Rites, but the Xia Liao envoy has been delayed again and again. It's a hard task! Zheng Jian saw Ouyang Xiudi's insistence, and pondered for a while before refutating. Instead, he said helplessly.

"Dujin Academy once said that after the envoys of the Liao State Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu came to Bianjing, they visited the King of Pu'an several times in a row, and the envoy of Western Xia, Gao Yande, also visited the King of Pu'an, and the King of Pu'an was in charge of the Great Song Dynasty's secret guard, since Lord Zheng wanted to know the bottom line of the envoy of Xia Liao, why didn't he go and visit the King of Pu'an!" Ouyang Xiu smiled slightly and said to Zheng Jian in a deep voice.

"The influence of the private meeting sect king is not good!" Zheng Jian has served in the court for many years, how could he not know the consequences of making a personal relationship with the sect king, and immediately refuse Ouyang Xiu to say.

"How can you say that there is a private meeting, the official family ordered us to negotiate with Xia Liao. And the king of Pu'an is in charge of the secret guard, he is familiar with Xia Liao's reality and reality, and it is also a business to communicate with the king of Pu'an. Ouyang Xiu looked at Zheng Jian's eyes and said with a very sincere gesture.

"Lord Ouyang is right! The official will go to the official's house now to ask for a holy decree. Zheng Jian weighed it for a moment. made up his mind to say goodbye to Ouyang Xiu.

Let's go to the official's house! When the official family knew that King Pu'an had a secret guard and was selfish, he didn't know if he could continue to master the secret guard, and King Pu'an framed Zhao Lei with the news of the secret guard. I will let you lose your secret guard, and see how you frame the minister in the future, with your ability to King Pu'an, and also learn from King Meng, you are not right, your position is unfair, and you will never get the real trust of the officials. Looking at Zheng Jian's departing back, Ouyang Xiu's eyes flashed sharply, and the corners of his mouth thought with a sneer.

The daily negotiations between the three countries began again, and the Great Song Dynasty was in charge of the negotiations, Zheng Jian, the deputy envoy Ouyang Xiu, the Liao envoy Xiao Temo, the deputy envoy Liu Liufu, and the Western Xia envoy Gao Yande, and the five met in the Tianzhang Hall of the Imperial City, and began the daily routine of the ruffle.

"Han Qi rashly sent troops to Western Xia, destroyed the entire Xiazhou City, caused a large number of casualties to Western Xia, left hundreds of thousands of people homeless, and captured the people of the three tribes in the Hengduan Mountains, you must give us an explanation for this matter." Liao Guozheng made Xiao Temo see the five people arriving, rolled up his sleeves and jumped up and pointed at Zheng Jian and said loudly.

Xiao Temo, who was born in the aristocracy of the Liao State, is burly but not

, is simply a scoundrel, although he is the head of the envoy bureau in the Liao State Envoy Corps, he is the most prominent person every day, and at the critical moment, Liu Liufu, who is really in charge of negotiations, does not speak, and looks at Xiao Temo playing a scoundrel with a smile.

Looking at Xiao Temo, who had a rogue face, came out to stir up the situation as usual, Zheng Jian, who got a little rumor from King Pu'an, changed his weak personality today and said coldly: "Lord Xiao laughed, Lord Han went to Xiazhou, it was a matter of Song and Xia, why do you want to give you an explanation of Liao, it is also a matter of Gao Daren, could it be that Xiazhou is already the territory of Liao, if Xiazhou is really the territory of Liao, then this official can talk to Lord Xiao about the problem of Xiazhou, do you say yes, Lord Gao!" ”

After Zheng Jian finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Gao Yande with a sneer, waiting for Gao Yande to make a statement.

Seeing Zheng Jian change his weak posture in the past and become so tough, Xiao Temo was at a loss, while Liu Liufu and Gao Yande were stunned at the same time, and their hearts began to think about the reason for Zheng Jian's change.

"Why didn't Lord Gao say anything, it was the Western Xia who ceded Xiazhou to the Liao State! Or Yuan Hao has abdicated and passed the throne to the son of the princess of Liao, and now Dixixia has become the state and county of Liao. Zheng Jian's tongue showed no mercy, and without waiting for Gao Yande and Liu Liufu to react, he said to Gao Yande sneeringly.

"Western Xia has become an ally with Liao, and it is natural for the allies to come forward to mediate disputes, didn't the Great Song Dynasty do the same?" Liu Liufu ignored Gao Yande's cold gaze at Zheng Jian, and said slowly with a smile.

"Since Xia Liao is already an ally, then the Great Song can only congratulate, the Liao State mediated the affairs of Xia Prefecture for the Western Xia, I don't know how to mediate the account of Yuan Hao's invasion of Yan'an Mansion and the displacement of millions of people! This Song-Xia War was provoked by Yuan Hao, and the Liao State will not ignore the heinous crimes committed by Yuan Hao, who took the initiative to provoke the war, but let me give the Liao State an explanation for Xiazhou! Besides, since Xia Liao is already an ally, and Liao intercedes for Western Xia, then Western Xia and my Great Song Dynasty have no qualifications for dialogue, and this official will ask me to make an imperial decree from the Great Song Dynasty, and in the future, matters involving the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia can only be handled by the Liao State, and the envoys and official residences of the Western Xia in Bianjing will be completely expelled, and everything will be taken over by the Liao officials. Zheng Jian said very viciously to provoke the relationship between Xia Liao.

Zheng Jian's words made Liu Liufu feel a chill in his heart, the Great Song Dynasty did this tantamount to regard Western Xia as a vassal of Liao, and even deprived of the most fundamental independent sovereignty, if the Liao State was forced to stand out for Western Xia, the whole world would know that Western Xia had become a vassal of Liao in a few days, and the relationship between Western Xia and Liao would be difficult to say.

Just when Liu Liufu weighed the attitude of Western Xia, Gao Yande spoke at this time.

"Lord Zheng is wrong, Xiazhou is still the Xiazhou of Western Xia, although Xia Liao is allied, it is just a brotherly alliance, Western Xia is not a vassal of Liao, remember that the Song Dynasty seems to have concluded a brotherly alliance with Liao!" Gao Yande said lukewarmly to Zheng Jian in a calm tone.

"Since they are all countries of brothers, then we can say it directly, the land of the ten counties in Guannan cannot be cut, marriage or tribute, presumably Lord Liu will choose it!

And Lord Gao, Yuan Hao's throne will not be recognized by my Great Song Dynasty, Yuan Hao abdicated, and my Great Song canonized Yuan Hao as the King of Xia, and gave it every year, you must know that the Great Song Dynasty has no precedent for crowning a king with a different surname! Zheng Jian has already obtained Xia Liao's bottom line from King Pu'an, and now he is sticking to the bottom line and saying to Gao Yande and Liu Liufu.

The bottom line of the negotiation is leaked! Gao Yande and Liu Liufu glanced at each other, and they both saw the shock in each other's hearts.

Now that the news has been leaked, Zheng Jian already knows the bottom line of Xixia Yuanhao and Liao Guoye Luzong, so many days of arguing are in vain, Gao Yande and Liu Liufu can only helplessly say to Zheng Jian that they need to go back and ask the leader.

"Lord Zheng, just ask, if Da Song marries the princess and relatives, how much dowry can he give?" At this moment, the ruffian-like Liao State was Xiao Temo, who suddenly asked Zheng Jian with a shameless face.

Zheng Jian really hadn't heard of this kind of shameless question, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

"Princess Da Song's dowry is not much, and it is not as much silver as a year's tribute!" Ouyang Xiu, who has always been witty, quickly reacted and replied to Xiao Temo with a smile.

"It's so little, it's better to marry a princess! Not cost-effective! Xiao Temo frowned and whispered to himself with an unhappy face.

Hearing Xiao Temo's shameless words, Liu Liufu smiled awkwardly and pulled him to leave, and Ouyang Xiu, who sent Gao Yande out, had already begun to think about how to impeach Zhao Yun, the king of Pu'an, for being selfish and unfair, and let the official family take back the secret guard in the hands of the king of Pu'an.
