"Ding Ding Ding"

On the official road in the north of Bianjing, the crisp bell sound accompanied by the light horse's hooves came from far to near, and the old Bianjing pedestrians on the official road pulled other pedestrians away from the official road, and not long after they left the official road, a fast horse galloped through like lightning and wind, raising dust in the sky.

"Who? Such an arrogant horseback riding is not afraid of hitting pedestrians? The outsider who made the way was very puzzled and resentful and asked an old man from Bianjing beside him.

"Mo Duo words, we can't afford to mess with this person, this is an eight-hundred-mile urgent post envoy, the purple gold bell that will be hung immediately should be seen if you see it, that is the sign of the border envoy, and the person who kills the person is not responsible, it is an official below the fifth grade, and it is the crime of losing the official to block it!" The old man hurriedly stopped the outsider's words and said earnestly.

The north is a border envoy, Western Xia or Liao? It seems that there will be chaos in the north for a while, so it is better to stay in Bianjing during this time. The outsider looked at the back of the horseman and thought to himself.

……………………………………

"Eight hundred miles in a hurry, idlers avoid!"

The messenger hurried his horse, shouted all the way, and galloped all the way into the imperial city through the Fengqiu Gate.

The Imperial Hall is very lively today, the three-day Dynasty is being held lively, hundreds of court officials above the fifth grade are in the hall, for a little trivial matter to quarrel a mess, and the official Zhao Zhen is still the same as before, sitting on the dragon chair, bowing his head and closing his eyes at the same time, listening to the chaotic words of the courtiers, from time to time the slip of the tongue makes Zhao Zhen smile from time to time.

"Eight hundred miles to rush the official document!"

With the shouts of the chamberlain, the originally chaotic hall of the Imperial Hall suddenly fell silent, and more than a hundred ministers looked for their own places to stand in several rows. Waiting for the urgent news of eight hundred miles with a stunned face.

When Zhao Zhen, the official who heard the urgent news of 800 miles, immediately held his head high, looked around, and saw Gan Ling, the personal attendant, taking the official document, Zhao Zhen said directly and simply: "Read!" ”

"In the middle of March of the second year of Kangding, the Liao State gathered 200,000 foot riders in Datong, and at the end of March, the Liao State appointed Yihui envoy Xiao Temo and Hanlin Bachelor Liu Liufu to send envoys......" The inner servant Gan Ling's voice became smaller and smaller, and his expression became more and more cautious, and he carefully checked the face of the official Zhao Zhen over and over again.

"Bastard! Came to take advantage of the fire again. The official Zhao Zhen was furious. Habitually began to wrestle and said.

"The official family is angry, but the Liao State has gathered heavy troops but has not moved, it seems that he still wants to negotiate with my Great Song Dynasty, but the minister does not know why the Liao State suddenly gathered heavy troops and sent envoys, please Rong Chen to investigate the movements of the Liao State." Zhang Shixun was very awkward in his heart, the matter of the sudden gathering of heavy troops in the Liao State, he, the prime minister, did not know, you must know that today he was in charge of the slaughter, but he did not know anything about the affairs of the Liao State, it was the privy envoy Song Yi who got the information and did not say it! Or is it that Liao's heavy army is too secret, and no one knows! Come to think of it. Zhang Shixun stood up and slandered a little, and Song Yi said.

"Song itch!" The official Zhao Zhen's face darkened and looked at Song Qi angrily and said, not only Zhang Shixun did not know about the sudden gathering of heavy troops in the Liao State. Even the official Zhao Zhen is also not clear, if it is not for the urgent news of eight hundred miles, I am afraid that the Liao State will still be in the dark when it comes to the court! The Privy Council has always been responsible for the matter of espionage news from Liao, so the official Zhao Zhen immediately thought of Song Qi.

"The minister has already informed Prime Minister Li Ruogu of the news of Liao's heavy army gathering four days ago." Song Qi said in a deep voice unhurriedly at this time.

"Qiyu officials, the minister was informed by Lord Song that the Liao State gathered heavy troops because Zhending and Hejian Erfu dug trenches and set up passes on the frontier, which caused the Liao Emperor to be dissatisfied, thinking that my Great Song intended to seek Liao, so he gathered heavy troops, and it is estimated that the Liao envoys came for this. However, the minister has already asked Zhending and Hejian Erfu to stop their activities in the frontier, and presumably the Liao soldiers will soon disperse. Li Ruogu followed up and stood up and explained.

Li Ruogu's words made the official Zhao Zhen very unhappy, and after pondering for a while, he turned his head to look at the new Zong Zhengqing Pu'an Wang Zhao Yunrang.

Zhao Yunrang, the king of Pu'an, is the real power prince in the Zhao family's clan who is second only to King Meng. Since Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Meng, was seriously ill and left the political center to recuperate, Zhao Yunrang, the king of Pu'an, took over the official position of Zhao Yuanyan, the king of Meng, and was responsible for safeguarding the interests of the Zhao family in the Great Song Dynasty.

The most secret guard of the Great Song Dynasty. It has always been in the hands of the disciples of the loyal royal clan, and after King Meng, the person in charge, was seriously ill, the right to control the secret guard was handed over to the hands of King Pu'an, if there was a spy organization in the Great Song Dynasty that was more powerful than the spy report of the official Privy Council, there was undoubtedly only one secret guard, so when the official family wanted to ask for news from the Liao State, they immediately looked at Zhao Yunrang, the king of Pu'an.

Zhao Yunrang, the king of Pu'an, is about thirty years old, looks like the official Zhao Zhen, has a well-proportioned figure, a resolute expression, and is an out-and-out middle-aged handsome guy.

King Pu'an had been prepared for the official's inquiry, and after he came out of the ranks, he replied in a deep voice without thinking: "Qiqi."

Liao's action has a great meaning, not really Ding, Hejian Erfu construction defense single, a month ago Yongxing military road Jiedu made Zhao Lei defeat in Fengzhou official road defeat of Western Xia Yuanhao, Yuan Hao was frustrated after retreating, immediately sent an envoy to secretly envoy Liao, I don't know what kind of agreement reached with Liao, within a few days Liao began to gather soldiers and horses stationed in Datong, during which Liao Emperor Yelu Zongzhen secretly summoned Xiao Xiaomu and Xiao Guanning, the king of the North and South Courts, and the prime minister Zhang Tong to discuss matters, and then Liao envoy Xiao Temo and Liu Liufu came to Bianjing with a letter of state, The content of the letter of state also has the intention of the Liao country, and the minister has no clue so far. ”

As soon as King Pu'an finished speaking, the official Zhao Zhen glanced at Prime Minister Li Ruogu, and Li Ruogu was so frightened that Li Ruogu broke out in a cold sweat, and secretly scolded his mother in his heart.

"All of you Aiqing have heard King Pu'an's words, I don't know what your Aiqing thinks?" After the official Zhao Zhen heard that the Liao State's gathering of troops and envoys was related to Zhao Lei's victory over Western Xia, he vaguely thought of something, but there was no basis, so he began to carefully verify the ministers.

Li Ruogu, who had made a mistake before, was the first to stand up to redeem the impression of the official family and said: "Enlighten the official family! The minister thought that the secret envoy of the Liao State to the Western Xia was obviously united with the Western Xia and prepared to negotiate with our dynasty, and the official family did not need to worry about this at all, as long as the imperial court was fully prepared, the negotiation would definitely not let the Liao State get better. ”

"What Lord Li said is right, I wonder if Lord Li knows the conditions of the negotiation in Liao, the bottom line of the negotiation and the reason for the negotiation? Why don't you prepare to meddle in the affairs of our dynasty, and have already gathered troops and horses on the border of Western Xia, and suddenly aim the spearhead at our dynasty? Standing side by side with Li Ruogu, Zhang Shixun, who was old and strong, suddenly stood up and questioned Li Ruogu at this time.

"These things will become clear sooner or later, and the most important thing now is for the Ministry of Rites to prepare to receive the envoys of the Liao State and set out their intentions." Li Ruogu replied unhurriedly.

"Is the intention of the envoy of the Liao State still used! Western Xia Yuanhao was only contacted by the Liao State after the defeat, and the soldiers and horses that the Liao State originally gathered on the border of the Western Xia were immediately transferred to Datong, and now the situation is very clear, the Liao State has set the target on our dynasty, and the reason is that Zhao Lei defeated the weapons used by the Western Xia soldiers and horses in Fengzhou. Yan Shu said in a deep voice beside Zhang Shixun at this time, Yan Shu is worthy of being the top genius of a genius child, and he guessed the intention of Liao Guo in a flash.

Yan Shu's words made all the ministers in the palace stunned, and the official Zhao Zhen immediately reflected and said in amazement: "What does Yan mean by participating in politics, is the idea of the Liao State fighting grenades, mines and rocket cars?" ”

"Not bad! Western Xia Yuanhao has suffered from three kinds of weapons in Fengzhou, tens of thousands of troops have died in Fengzhou, just because of the appearance of three weapons, my Great Song Dynasty won more with less, and the Western Xia people were completely afraid, they are afraid that they have already known that the Great Song Dynasty, which has three weapons, is no longer the previous Great Song Dynasty, so Western Xia and Liao have joined forces and are ready to exert pressure on our dynasty, and the final goal must be the production process of the three weapons. Yan Shu said very confidently.

"Wishful thinking! Grenades, mines, and rocket cars are the sharp weapons of our Korean army, and they are important weapons to deter Western Xia and Liao. Wang Deyong, the deputy privy envoy, shouted angrily at this time.

"It's not up to us to pay it or not, but what kind of price can Liao and Western Xia offer?" Yan Shu's eyes were clear, and he said in a deep voice with a wise face.

"No matter what the price, you can't give three weapons to Xia Liao!" The official Zhao Zhen said firmly.

"What if the Liao State takes the sixteen states of Yanyun as the price? What if the price of Western Xia was 100,000 high-quality uncastrated war horses? Yan Shu did not refute, and asked directly to the official Zhao Zhen.

Yanyun 16 states, 100,000 uncastrated war horses? When the official Zhao Zhen heard Yan Shu's words, his heart was pounding.

The sixteen states of Yanyun are the Central Plains land that generations of kings of the Zhao family have never forgotten to recover, and 100,000 uncastrated war horses can make the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty rise directly a few steps, this temptation is too great, so big that Zhao Zhen, Zhang Shixun, Li Ruogu, Wang Deyong and Zhao Yunrang and other Great Song monarchs and ministers are difficult to refuse.

"Will Xia Liao really come up with that kind of price?" The official Zhao Zhen's tone has begun to soften, and he seems to be quite tempted by Yan Shu's statement.

"Not sure! This depends on the attraction of new weapons to Liao, as for Xixia, it has been disabled by Zhao Lei, there is no bargaining chip, if Liao is determined to win new weapons, it will definitely throw out the bargaining chip of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, after all, new weapons are worth this price, if they do not agree at that time, Liao will definitely press the border, if the price of Liao is too low, it means that they do not take the new weapons to heart at all, and do not pay attention to it at all, so that the possibility of the two countries fighting each other will be greatly reduced, and the imperial court can push and prevaricate a few times at will. Yan Shu pondered for a while, informed the official Zhao Zhen of his thoughts, and said.

After listening to Yan Shu's words, the official Zhao Zhen smiled thoughtfully, and then continued to close his eyes and recuperate, and after the court assigned the task of receiving the envoy of the Liao State, he quarreled again over the trivial matters of the three provinces and six departments.
