In the face of naked coercion, and in the face of the threat of Yelu Zong's true will being firmer, Fu Bi became calm, withdrew the face of the elder who had been seductive before, and said slowly: Shi Jingjiao used Lu Long to bribe the Khitan and Zhou Shizong Chai Rong to crusade against Guannan, which was all a matter of different generations in the past. The Zhao and Song dynasties have been prosperous in the Han Dynasty for more than 80 years, and if we each ask for the homeland of a different generation, I am afraid it may not be a good thing for the Liao State, right?

Yelu Zongzhen immediately fell silent. Fu Bi is trying to blackmail him in turn! If you decide to go to the 10 counties south of Waqiaoguan, we also want 16 states of Yanyun! Before the rise of the Khitan, it was our land for thousands of years!

Silence, cold? It looked like Fu Bi was looking for death, and he forgot the mission when he came. The Song Dynasty told thousands of people that only and not wars were allowed. But the inside story is subtle! Just now, Yelu Zong really knew that the war was not good for the throne, but he still insisted on asking for land, which was to know that the war would not break out. But now Fu Bi has made it clear that he is not a bird, if you want to fight, you will fight, don't think about getting it for nothing!

After being silent for a while, Yelu Zongzhen took the lead in breaking the deadlock. He changed the subject, "Li Yuanhao is my vassal, the Song Dynasty attacked him, why don't you ask me first"

Fu Bi didn't have any good words to give him, "You Khitans attacked Goryeo and Heishui, have you informed us of the Great Song Dynasty" raised his eyebrows, but immediately followed by the negotiation mission, he once again reminded him of what he was going to do. Fu Bi adjusted his mentality and calmed down again. He said, "When I came, our emperor specially asked me to greet you and convey his words. His Majesty said that he didn't know in advance that Li Yuanhao and his younger brother were married, and he provoked a war, so I wanted to crusade. Now brother, you blame me, this makes my brother embarrassed! Crusade against him will hurt our brotherhood, and if we don't, my people will die innocent and miserable. Now I'm going to ask: Brother, what do you think of it?"

Yelu Zong really listened very carefully, and then he ignored his image, and threw aside the envoys of the other country on the occasion of official diplomatic relations, and went to chat with his ministers. After a long conversation, he turned back. Said a super connotative sentence "Yuan Hao is a coward, how can the Southern Dynasty not be attacked"

Li Yuanhao became a thief, how could he let the Song Dynasty not beat him? At first glance, it seems really conscientious, and the Khitans finally said a fair word. But if you think about it a little carefully, you will know that Lu Dao Fubi was so angry that he gritted his teeth at that time. The slippery Khitans are just pretending to be stupid and prevaricating us!

Zhao Zhen asked Fu Bi to bring this sentence that was not written into the national letter, and asked Fu Bi to say it directly to Yelu Zongzhen, and there was a very obvious meaning in it. You said that Li Yuanhao is your relative and retainer, blame me for touching him without permission. Very good! Now I'm going to give you face and identify with your relationship. I also ask for your opinion. Ostensibly if you agree, I'm going to hit him. But there is also a subtext in it: Brother Yelu, that's your subordinate, can you take care of it?

Let the Khitan people mediate in the middle, which is the original intention of the Song Dynasty! Yelu Zong really understood this, and the ministers of the Liao State knew it even more, the monarchs and ministers gathered together and talked for so long, and finally came up with this super connotative reply "Yuan Hao is a coward, how can the Southern Dynasty not be attacked" said how artistic. I can't find the slightest mistake, but it's exactly the same as not saying anything. Xixia is very underbeaten, you go to fight, you fight to the death. No matter what kind of fight it is, it's reasonable and legal!

On the same day, Fu Bi walked out of the Liao Palace, and his steps became heavier. The Khitans were more difficult to deal with than one might think. What's next?

was troubled, but Liu Liufu came. Just broke up and met again. The topic took a 180-degree turn: Master Fu, when Song Taizong swept away the Northern Han Dynasty and suddenly attacked Youzhou. Just now you said that you want to crusade against Western Xia, may I ask what will happen to you after Western Xia surrenders? Will you go to fight the idea of Yanyun 16 states again?

A ray of sunshine suddenly shone into Fu Bi's heart, did the Khitan people take it seriously? What he just said, "If we each ask for a different generation's homeland, I'm afraid it may not necessarily be a good thing for Liao" Liao is also afraid of war!

Coming to this conclusion, Fu Bi became impassive. Answer: During the time of Taizong, the Liao State first sent an envoy to Tonghao, but then sent troops to Shiling Pass to aid the Northern Han Dynasty. It's all your fault...

The answer is very clever, and he will give back to the other in his own way. Just like Yelu Zongzhen played a slippery head just now, Fu Bi also didn't answer Liu Liufu's question. Will we finish fighting Western Xia and Youzhou? Think for yourself!

The smart Liu Liufu immediately changed the subject: "Money is a small thing. If accepted, our emperor felt very ashamed. If you want to recover the land in the 10 counties of Kannan, Lord Fu, what do you think about this?"

This is quite sincere private confession, Fu Bi decided to also say the bottom line of the Song Dynasty, "Our emperor once said, 'I am a descendant of a man, how dare I use my ancestors' hometown to fight people' Back then, the battle of Lanyuan was facing each other, Emperor Zhenzong did not waver, how can he cut the land casually today? Now you are going to get 10 counties of land, just for those taxes. Therefore, the Song Dynasty proposed to replace it with a considerable amount of gold silk. What's the difference between this and you getting 10 counties? Our Majesty thinks of the people of the two countries and does not want to ruin the lives of the people, so we are willing to give money to satisfy you. If you want land, you will break the covenant, so that Song Liao only has one war, and the alliance of heaven and earth will see each other! The Northern Dynasty took the lead in the army, and I am worthy of my heart, and even more worthy of the gods of heaven and earth.'"

Liu Liufu listened quietly and seemed to be very satisfied, "The emperor of the Song Dynasty is really good, these ideas are very good. Let's work together to get this done," he said, turning to leave. Behind him, Fu Bi's expression was even more solemn. Things seem to have taken a big turn for the better? But what the Khitans think, who can guess...

At this moment, Fu Bi unexpectedly received a letter. Thousands of miles away from the country, in a foreign country, this is actually a letter to the family. What's wrong at home? Nothing special, I will never travel thousands of miles to send letters...

Doubts, fears, holding such a letter, the more a man cares about his family, the more he will think, and the worse he will think. But everyone saw that Fu Bi held this letter motionless for a long time, did not open it, and slowly tore it up after the last ...

The men were shocked and asked what was going on. Fu Bi smiled bitterly, as a national responsibility, how could he be distracted by family affairs? Let alone... I'm so far away from home, even if I know the Tao, what can I do?

The next day, a new trick came, and the Liao people informed them not to go to the main hall of the palace, and Yeluzong really wanted to go hunting, and invited the Song Dynasty delegation to participate in it. In this way, Fu Bi, a civil official of the Great Song Dynasty, rode on a horse and followed the Khitan cavalry to the wilderness.

Yelu Zong really invited Fu Bi and rode away, which was a great courtesy, and then asked if there was anything else you would like to say? Let's put ourselves in Fu Bi's shoes and think about it: the emperor went hunting, and there were thousands of troops. On the vast northern grassland, the Khitan iron horse, which has been strong for a hundred years, is boundless, what kind of formation and what kind of deterrence is this? It is to overwhelm the envoys of the enemy country and achieve their own goals! So Fu Bi said, "The Southern Dynasty only wants to be happy for a long time", Yelu Zongzhen triumphantly reiterated, "If you get the land, you will be happy for a long time", I will definitely get the land!

Unexpectedly, he heard Fu Bi's clear voice again: "In this matter, our majesty has already instructed: 'If the Liao State wants to get the ancestral homeland, is the Song Dynasty willing to lose the ancestral homeland?' The Liao State is proud of the land, and the Song Dynasty will be humiliated by the loss of land! Can a fraternal state be the opposite?'" Fu Bi's patience should have reached the limit, in a foreign country, surrounded by tens of thousands of iron horsemen, he looked directly at the emperor of Liao, and said the following words in the voice of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, "I have not forgotten Yan Yun, but I still sent a messenger to negotiate this matter, what to do, we both know in our hearts"

In the historical records, this is the end of this hunting dialogue. Yelu Zong really didn't continue. Instead, Liu Liufu appeared again, "Lord Fu, what you just said about the issue of honor and disgrace, our emperor has already felt something. But now, money is definitely not considered. The only thing interested is to get married."

A major victory, the Liao State does not ask for land cedes! After the crisis passed, I believe that the Song Dynasty mission personnel will be happy in an instant, but Fu Bi is more calm, "It is not ideal to get married." There are more troubles. Let's talk about feelings first, it is inevitable that there will be discord between husband and wife, which will affect diplomatic relations. Besides, the lifespan of people varies. Once there is an accident, it is difficult to say the meaning of the future situation. The safest thing to do is money."

Liu Liufu shook his head and insisted that he would get married, "The emperor of the Southern Dynasty must have a princess"

Fu Bi nodded, "Yes." It's a pity that he is only 4 years old, and he will be married at least 10 years later. Now in this situation, do you see if you can wait?" The question is very realistic, but the people of Liao are still insisting. Fu Bi smiled, and dispelled the other party's fantasy in one sentence, "The Song Dynasty marries a princess, and the dowry is 100,000 yuan", and Liu Liufu left immediately.

Then, Fu Bi was summoned into the Liao Imperial Palace, and Yelu Zongzhen stunned him on the spot with just one sentence, "You can go back"

Yes? Fu Bi is confused, what does this mean? Negotiations over? But what the hell do you want?" Marriage, or increase coins, I have to bring back a result" Fu Bi cautiously objected.

Yeluzong's true answer completely broke the negotiation convention: "You have to do it again, and then I will tell you my choice." Don't forget: bring two copies of the national letter again"

Fu Bi's heart sank little by little. At this time, if you don't make a decision, let you run back with questions, and come back with two different versions of the national letter. This has come and gone for at least a few months, and the Song Dynasty will have to live in worry for a few months, which is enough to benefit the Liao State! What's more, during this period, the Liao State had other tricks such as increasing troops and contacting Western Xia... There is no need to actually fight, these gestures alone are enough to intimidate the vast majority of people!

But Fubi has no choice! Whether he wants it or not, he has to obediently leave and return to China with ambiguous intentions - the Khitans voluntarily gave up their territorial claims, which is a victory in principle! But how to write this national letter? I don't know what to do!

On July 1, Zhang Fangping of the Governor's Yuan said: In view of the current state of emergency, it is proposed to abolish the Privy Council and use the Zhongshu Provincial Government Hall to take over all powers. This is a challenge to the principle of separation of powers, the most important aspect of the ancestral family law of the Great Song Dynasty! It is impossible to be accepted! However, the Privy Council continued to be retained, but the responsible persons were all part-time. On the 5th, Ren Bu, the deputy privy councillor, was dismissed. On the 17th, Prime Minister Lu Yijian and Zhang Dexiang were also privy envoys. The privy envoy Yan Shu is also the prime minister.

As a result, Lü Yijian, the prime minister and privy envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, personally came forward and conveyed the emperor's supreme instructions to Fu Bi. 1. If you get married, you won't give money, and if you give money, you won't get married. 2 If it is money, the amount of money is said. If the Liao State can restrain Li Yuanhao to surrender again, it will add 200,000 to the 300,000 per year. If you can't do it, only add 100,000.

According to such conditions, two copies of the national letter should be written in advance, and the oath should be written in three copies due to Li Yuanhao's factors. Very thoughtful, after finishing speaking, Lu Yijian asked Fu Bi if there was anything else to add?

There are three articles: 1 The lakes and ponds at the junction of the two countries shall not be expanded. 2. Neither country may increase the number of troops stationed on the border without reason. 3. Fugitives must not be taken in. He solemnly emphasized that this was the content that the emperor of Liao repeatedly demanded and must be written into the oath.

No problem! Lu Yijian agrees to everything, and it is very rare to delegate power, and the letter of state and the oath are drafted by you Fu Bi himself! How? Are you relieved?

Fu Bi was relieved, worked overtime to write a draft, and handed it over to the political affairs hall. At this time, the office efficiency of the Song Dynasty reached an unprecedented height, and the government affairs hall ordered: Fu Bi, you can take a step first, and your draft will be written into an official document by someone immediately, and then quickly catch up with you, so as to ensure that there is no delay for a second. Our slogan is Race Against Time! Fubi, you can run!

On July 22, Fu Bi and Zhang Maoshi rushed out of Kaifeng City again. It may be that they rode horses in Liaoguo, and they ran to Wuqiang County in one go, and the fast horses of Kaifeng City caught up and handed him a super package. Inside are 10 sealed documents. It includes 2 copies of the credentials, 3 copies of the affidavit, and a separate copy of each document.

History is turning a corner at this time, and it stands to reason that Fu Bi should strictly implement the order, and continue to run all the way after receiving the documents, so as to race against time? But he slowed down, because he had a question mark in his mind - did the three things I agreed with the Khitan Emperor really write into the official text? If not, the other party will be suspicious, so how can I talk about it?

With this question mark, Fu Bi walked slower and slower, and finally stopped when he arrived at Le Shou. I found a quiet place and secretly took out the papers. Of course, it's not the original, it's the accessory, carefully disassembled. Fu Bi's heart immediately froze, and as expected, there were no three on it at all!

What should I do? As a messenger, you must not turn around. But with such an affidavit, how can you negotiate? After thinking about it, there is only one way: report to the emperor, only the emperor can suppress Lu Yijian! But how do you report it? I can't turn around, and the mission staff around me can't guarantee that there are no people without Lu Yijian... Fu Bi was brainstorming in Leshou County and thought of a person: Cai Ting, who was his former subordinate. Coincidentally, Cai Ting was guarding filial piety at Le Shou's house at this time. During the period of filial piety, he could have done nothing, but cronies are cronies, Cai Ting didn't say a word, he rushed to Kaifeng with the letter, and Fu Bi stayed put, waiting for the court to reply... (To be continued......)
