Renzong's death order was to avoid war. Yelu Gollum's negotiation method did not give full play to the advantages of Song Qi's host, and in just two days, the negotiations obviously entered a long war of words. Song Qi is not afraid of war of words, because it is not the Great Song Dynasty who wants to fight. However, Yelu Nglu didn't seem to be in a hurry, and said a sentence: "If our Liao State suffered any losses due to the containment of the Great Song Dynasty army during the war, we will record it in the account, and wait until the party is finished and we will renegotiate with your country." ”

Yelu Ne's grunting attitude made Song Qi a little unpredictable, in the early dynasty, he played this matter Ming Renzong knew, Renzong also felt very surprised when he heard it, why is Shang, the nine princes of the Liao Kingdom, so bold, aren't they afraid that the talk will collapse and really fight, and their Liao State can't block the attack from both sides?

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty didn't know what calculation Yelu Niglu was making in his heart.

Song Qi said his guess: "Long live, Weichen thinks that this Liao country must be a foreign powerhouse and a middle cadre, if our attitude is more resolute, put on a look that we are not afraid of war, or make some actions to secretly assist the party members, this Liao country will inevitably panic." ”

Renzong didn't give him an answer, but looked at Fan Zhongyan and Bao Zheng. This is a state affair, this is a big matter, and Renzong will not expect Pang Ji to do anything for him. And Pang Ji seemed to know this law, and stood honestly below, his steps motionless.

Fan Zhongyan took a step forward: "Long live, the minister thinks that what Song Qi said is reasonable." The soldiers and horses of the Liao State have not been as good as before in recent years, and it is almost impossible to start a war with us and the party members at the same time. Moreover, the Jurchens behind them have become more and more fierce over the years, and the Liao State can be said to be attacked on three sides. ”

Renzong nodded: "I also know this, but if we intervene in the war now, the losses will inevitably be heavy, and if we win, we will have to share the results with the party." I'm afraid that if the Liao people take a risk, it won't do us any good. ”

Fan Zhongyan responded: "What Banzai said is extremely true, so the minister thinks that we can make some small moves now, just make the Liao people afraid, and also make the party more courageous, as for really intervening in it, the minister thinks that Banzai is very appropriate, and now is not the time." ”

Renzong listened to Fan Zhongyan's thoughts, and put down a lot at the moment, and ordered Song Qi to let go and do it, so that he could properly scare the people of Liao.

This undoubtedly untied a rope for Song Qi to bind himself, and made Song Qi's heart full of confidence in the victory of this negotiation: "Long live the wise!" The minister must live up to the high hopes of long live. ”

Song Qi's tone was a lot more relaxed, and from this tone, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military people heard his confidence, and Renzong was also very satisfied: "Okay, let's stop here." Bao Aiqing, Lu Xiangguo, you two stay for the next step, and I will ask your opinion about Chen Shimei. Everyone else is gone. ”

The eunuch shouted loudly and retreated, everyone else turned to leave, and Song Qi also went to negotiate with Yelu Gollum again with calm steps. And Bao Zheng and Lu Yijian both stayed.

Renzong asked, "Bao Aiqing, what about Chen Shimei today?" I heard that he wrote bad words again. ”

Bao Zheng nodded: "Long live Hui, since he retired from the hall, Chen Shimei has been writing poems in the cell, and there are several excellent songs, such as the "Water Tune Song Head". ”

Renzong smiled: "I, I really want to let him go now, but is there a suitable reason for Bao Aiqing to prevaricate those party members?" ”

Bao Zheng had long expected this result, so Bao Zheng had already thought about the method of prevaricating the party members, but Bao Zheng was very stable as a person and an official, and if someone else said it, Bao Zheng would definitely not talk much.

The method of prevaricating the party members is ready-made, and Bao Zheng does not want to say it. He secretly turned his head and glanced at Lu Yijian, who understood his intentions and stepped forward and said: "Long live, the old minister thinks that as long as Long Live supports the party and the Liao State to start a war, in exchange for Chen Shimei's life, the party people will not say anything." ”

Renzong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that he was just about to do something to support the party to scare Liaoguo, wouldn't it be best to kill two birds with one stone?

laughed at the moment: "People say that the old man is cunning, this sentence is really true!" Xiangguo's idea is to hurry up. ”

Lu Yijian knelt down busily: "The old minister is afraid, the old minister is afraid!" The old minister is loyal to Banzai, and has never dared to deceive, please also be aware of it! ”

Renzong walked down and personally helped him up: "I'm not scolding you, you praise you!" Thinking that those barbarians are mostly cunning, it is okay for them to be cunning and cunning! A gentleman like Master Fan today also wants to deceive the Liao people, and I am very satisfied! ”

Bao Zheng said: "Lord Fan is loyal, patriotic, and upright, and please don't use this matter to measure Lord Fan's character." ”

Renzong smiled: "I know. I don't need to say anything about Lord Fan's character. By the way, Xiangguo, do you think Master Fan's move can bluff Na Yelu Gollum? ”

Lu Yijian hesitated: "This, your majesty, please forgive the old minister." If you only talk about the current form and means, Master Fan's hand is definitely clever. It's just that if you can make the Liao people afraid, I think there is one person who should know better. ”

Renzong asked, "Who?" ”

Lu Yijian lowered his voice: "Long live, since you decided to let Chen Shimei live, why don't you send someone to ask?" Lao Chen bluntly said that in my Great Song Dynasty, no one is more familiar with the relationship between the Liao court and the court than him. ”

Renzong was stunned for a moment, and then thought that what Lu Yijian said was indeed reasonable, then Chen Shimei had overturned the entire Yanjing in the Liao Kingdom, if he hadn't figured out Yanjing thoroughly, how could he have turned up such a big storm?

"Bao Aiqing, you bring that Chen Shimei, I want to meet him in person."

Bao Zheng turned his head and glanced at Lu Yijian secretly, and responded: "Yes." ”

Chen Yuan is a good person, this is clear. Although he is a little cunning, he also has the courage to give it a go whenever danger comes! Such people can succeed in everything they do and get ahead. But you can't be an official!

Bao Zheng knew that Lu Yijian had always wanted to pull Chen Yuan into the officialdom, and even if he could, Lu Yijian would arrange for Chen Yuan to replace him when he couldn't do anything! But is it really a good thing for Chen Shimei to be an official? The most taboo in officialdom is swagger, and the most feared is unruly! And Chen Shimei is just a person who likes to swagger, such a person is hated in officialdom.

Although Chen Yuan abides by the rules on some big issues when he does things, his steps are so floating, and he always likes to choose some shortcuts. This is even more fatal! If you break the rules, it's fine, someone else can kill you in a big way! But if Chen Yuan also chooses some shortcuts to do things when he is an official, he may not know who he was killed by in the end.

Bao Zheng sighed slightly in his heart, forget it, what he wants is to let Chen Shimei live, as long as he will not be killed because of the party member, Bao Zheng will do what he should do. As for whether Chen Yuan will be an official in the future and what his fate will be after becoming an official, Bao Zheng didn't think about it.

If one day Chen Shimei really should be killed, he will pull this person who he is now bent on saving into death row again, and then sharpen the guillotine for him!

Now that Lu Yi briefly dragged him into the officialdom, since the emperor wants to see him, he just brought him himself.

This is the third day. It had only been three days since Chen Yuan had last passed the hall. That's not even half of the ten days that those prisoners say! So when the cell door was opened, Chen Yuan's face turned pale!

At this time, it can't be said that he is cowardly, how bold and reckless a person is, even the and urine come out after facing the death penalty!

Chen Yuan felt as if his voice was coming out of his throat, and the air flow in his chest could no longer be exhaled smoothly: "Everyone, is it time for me?" ”

He didn't know if others could hear what he was saying, because at this moment, Chen Yuan's mind was all blank, and everything else in the entire prison seemed to have disappeared suddenly except for the small door. There is only one door left, and this door is related to one's own life and death.

In a trance, Chen Yuan felt two arms grabbing his arm, those two hands were gently patting on his body, and two people were talking about something beside him.

Those two arms gave Chen Yuan a little strength, and slowly came back to his senses, only to see that Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang stood up in front of them, with a smile on their faces, Bai Yutang said, "Brother Chen, why are you so polite?" Kowtow to your brother, and your brother can't stand it. ”

Zhan Zhao said to the cell boss, "Go and get some water." Yutang, let's help him sit down and rest first, you can see that his legs are scared and weak. ”

Chen Yuan understood a little at this time, and grabbed Zhanzhao's hand: "Zhan Guard, I don't have to die, do I?" The emperor won't kill me, will he? ”

He asked two questions in a row, and Zhan Zhao was not in a hurry to answer, Zhan Zhao was very experienced in this regard, a misunderstanding like the one just now was enough to make Chen Yuan's spirit on the verge of collapse, and now if he suddenly told him this good news, he might not be able to stand it!

Before Chen Yuan's emotions were stable, Zhan Zhao didn't dare to tell the truth, and he didn't dare to tell Chen Yuan: "The emperor won't kill you anymore, he will let you out now, and we will take you to see him." ”

There has been such a thing before, but the prisoner was released, but a madman was released! Zhan Zhao took the tea from the cell boss and poured a bowl for Chen Yuan: "Come, take a sip first." Our tea leaves here don't have the scent of your cottage. You drink the breath in your heart first, I can't make the decision if this can let you go, I'm going to take you to meet someone soon, I can only tell you that you have hope. ”

Chen Yuan didn't drink water, but asked urgently, "Is the emperor going to see me?" You tell me, does the emperor want to see me? ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, and sighed in their hearts that Chen Yuan was really smart enough! It is not easy for a person to think of this problem in such a mental state.

Bai Yutang slapped Chen Yuan: "You just come with us, we are just running errands, and as for who to take you to meet, Master Bao didn't tell us." ”

Zhan Zhao personally brought the tea over and put it in front of Chen Yuan's head: "Take a sip first, and then dress up, just like the last time you passed the hall." ”
