While Zhao Pu was thinking wildly, a woman walked in at this time, it was Wang Wuyue.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Wang Wuyue said inexplicably.

Zhao Pu nodded and said, "I haven't eaten, sit down and eat!" ”

"I ......"

"The world is big, eating is the biggest, and there is nothing more important in the world than eating!" Zhao Pu still looked calm, "Sit down and eat some food, and it's not too late to talk after eating!" ”

"Yes!" Although she was a little absent-minded, Wang Wuyue forced herself to sit down, put a bowl of rice porridge, and began to drink.

Zhao Pu ate quickly and put the dishes and chopsticks aside.

At this time, Wang Wuyue also finished eating.

"Have you eaten enough?"

"Full!"

"Thank you!"

"Thanks for what?"

"Your Majesty, you know my other identity!"

"Got it, it's just the princess of Liao!" Zhao Pu said calmly, his expression was not wavering.

"So you know!" Wang Wuyue didn't know what to say for a while.

Before she spoke, she had imagined countless endings and countless ways to deal with it, but at this moment, she was a little dazed for a while in the face of Zhao Pu's calm and casual attitude, and she didn't know what to do.

"You know, thank you for helping me Liaoguo. This alliance doesn't matter to the Song State, but it is a relief to the Liao State! Wang Wuyue said.

The Southern Song Dynasty itself was self-sufficient, coupled with the wealth of Jiangnan and the strength of Sichuan, even if it was not aligned, the loss was not too great; However, after the Liao State moved westward, the people were poor and the country was poor, it could really be said that they were poor and white, and the so-called Eastern Crusade, even Yelu Dashi did not believe it. At this time, it would be good to be able to barely maintain the situation and keep the regime stable.

Especially. The opening of mutual markets in the Sichuan region will enable Xiliao to obtain a part of the scarce materials, which can temporarily alleviate the economic crisis.

Zhao Pu said: "This is nothing, there are only eternal interests between countries, there is no long-term covenant, at this time the Jin State is the enemy of both sides, and the Liao and Song Dynasty must establish an alliance again, jointly fight against the Jin army, one more friend and one more way." Even if Xiliao doesn't really send troops, he can still wave his flag and shout. Boost your momentum! ”

In the land of East Asia, there were many tribes of Jin, Southern Song, Western Xia, Western Liao, Tubo, and Mongolia, but it was the Song and Jin that really played a decisive role. As for the rest of the countries, they all make soy sauce, and they all make up the numbers. It's all used as a wall-to-wall grass.

Weektime. Swaying from side to side, the benefits of fishing are okay, and at the critical moment, it is all the material for resting. During the Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Western Xia would be a bystander, and the Western Liao would also be a bystander. Only when the Southern Song Dynasty achieved absolute superiority. These two countries may join the alliance and work together to destroy gold and take advantage.

"I still want to thank Your Majesty for leaving a trace of love for my mother country!" Wang Wuyue said.

"The Liao State has long since perished. Western Liao is not the Liao State; And the Song Dynasty also perished during the Jingkang period, and the Southern Song Dynasty was not the Song Dynasty! Zhao Pu said, "Your home country has long perished!" ”

"No, it won't!" Wang Wuyue said, "Didn't Your Majesty often say that the Jin Kingdom has begun to decay?" As long as the Northern Expedition of the Song Dynasty and the Eastern Expedition of the Liao Kingdom work together to destroy the Jin, then the Jin Kingdom will be destroyed, the Great Song Dynasty will be prosperous, and the Liao Kingdom will also be prosperous! ”

Zhao Pu shook his head and said, "Yue'er, are you awake?" It is difficult to resurrect the ashes, it is difficult to resurrect people, a dying old age, can he be rejuvenated? The Jin Kingdom began to decay, but the Western Liao Dynasty also decayed, and the Song Dynasty also decayed. The rotten ones are more powerful than they are. Yelu Dashi is a peerless monarch, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, tinkering, and maintaining the current situation is okay, and there is no hope for the Eastern Crusade. And under my construction, the Great Song Dynasty has made a slight improvement, but there is still no hope for the Northern Expedition! ”

"Even if one day, the Jin Kingdom perished, the Liao and Song dynasties would not live in peace with each other, and they would not return to the situation of the Song, Xia and Liao Kingdoms. If you join for a long time, you will divide for a long time. Starting from the Tang Dynasty, the whole world is a piece of fragments, one in the east and one in the west. But the world will be unified, and at that time, the west will reach the Western Regions, the east to Liaodong and the Bohai Sea, and the north to the desert, all of which will be a whole. Between Song and Liao, if you want to take the Great Wall as the boundary, there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence, and next to the couch, how can you allow others to snore! ”

"No......" Wang Wuyue looked pained, not believing that this was true, but she knew that all this was true.

The so-called peace is more of a balance of forces, but this balance is fragile and easy to break, and it may be impossible for a small and insignificant factor to completely break the balance of power and try in vain for Song and Liao to live in peace.

Beside the couch, how can you allow others to snore.

This was true of the Liao State, the Jin State, and the Song Dynasty.

"It's just that you can rest assured, if I rule the world, I will become a Khan, and I will be like Li Shimin, treat the people well, all ethnic groups will prosper together, and all ethnic groups will be like brothers and sisters!" In the end, Zhao Pu could only persuade like this.

Wang Wuyue's expression was a little blank.

………………

Time was passing, and long negotiations began between the Southern Song Dynasty and the Western Liao.

As the saying goes, ask for a price all over the sky, and pay back on the ground.

Negotiation is a long fight.

As for the details of the negotiation, Zhao Pu didn't have time to care too much, he was very busy all day, there were a lot of things to do, and he didn't have time to worry about these little things. As long as you grasp the bottom line, you can do enough.

One of the bottom lines is to cancel the New Year's coin.

In the previous negotiations of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty actually suffered losses, mostly sending New Year's coins and money, which seemed to give people the impression that the diplomats of the Song Dynasty were very poor. In fact, the elites of the Song Dynasty were extremely shrewd and good at settling accounts, how could they lose to the Liao State, the Western Xia, and even the envoys of the Jin State.

In fact, the policy of the Song Dynasty has always been money diplomacy. Using money to corrupt the high-level leaders of the Liao, Xixia, and Jin States, under the blows of sugar-coated shells of the Song Dynasty, they quickly corrupted, rapidly declined, and their combat effectiveness declined greatly.

In the previous border trade, the Song Dynasty has always had a trade surplus, relying on foreign trade to earn a lot of money, which far exceeds the cost of annual currency.

In terms of economic interests, the Song Dynasty made a lot of money.

Of course, the damage to the Song Dynasty was also huge. The Song Dynasty developed money diplomacy and neglected armaments, resulting in the army's combat effectiveness becoming worse and worse. And spending money to buy Taiping has seriously damaged the dignity of the nation and made the entire people of the Great Song Dynasty unable to raise their heads.

The policy of the year-old currency benefited the economy of the Song Dynasty, and the political gains outweighed the losses.

In this negotiation, there was also a gift of New Year's coins, but they were decisively erased by Zhao Pu. It is better to give certain preferential treatment to other policies than to make any concessions in this regard.

And this time, you can get a large number of horses in the Western Regions, as well as some scarce materials.

Such as coal, oil!

Coal is refined into coke, which can be used to make steel; After the oil is simply refined, it can also be attacked with fire.

Coal and oil were very scarce in the Southern Song Dynasty and needed to be imported for war purposes.

And in order to develop some powerful weapons, coal and oil are inseparable. These require large reserves for war purposes.

After a month-long negotiation, Song Liao finally reached an agreement, and everyone was happy. The envoys of the Western Liao were overjoyed that they had overfulfilled the tasks assigned by Yelu Dashi, and the envoys of the Song Dynasty were also overjoyed that they had reached the emperor's standards.

That's when bad news came.

"Oh no, something has happened to Your Majesty!"

"Something's wrong!" Zhao Pu's heart suddenly burst and forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart.

Zhao Dadao: "Liu Yu has been proclaimed emperor and established a puppet dynasty!" ”

"Who is Liu Yu?" Zhao Pu asked.

"A chaotic minister and thief, a Zhang Bangchang second!" Qin Hui said.

Then, Zhao Da told in detail.

Liu Yuzi Yanyou, who has been farming for generations, later became a Jinshi and became an official of the Song Dynasty, and the official went to Hebei to be sentenced in the late Northern Song Dynasty. When the Jin people invaded the south, Liu Yu abandoned the official and came to Zhenyi to avoid chaos. In the second year of Jianyan, he was recommended to serve as the prefect of Jinan, but he thought that Jinan was in the midst of war and was too close to the Jin people, and hoped to go to a place a little southeast to be an official, but he did not get the consent of the Southern Song Dynasty court. Less than a year after he took office, in the face of the Jin soldiers besieging Jinan, under the persuasion of the Jin people, he killed Guan Sheng, a brave and fierce defender, and surrendered to the Jin Dynasty.

After the Jin army retreated, he let Liu Yu know Dongping Mansion and serve as the pacification envoy of Dongxi, Huainan and other roads, and also appointed Liu Yu's son Liu Lin to know Jinan Mansion and let Liu Yu and his son manage the area south of the Yellow River for them. However, Liu Yu's ambition was very great, and he saw that the Jin people needed him, so he sent his son Liu Lin to the Jin Dynasty with treasures, and bribed the left prison army of the Jin Dynasty, hoping to make Liu Yu the emperor.

After the Jin Dynasty occupied the Central Plains, the anti-Jin struggle of the people in Shandong and other places did not stop, and attacks on Jin soldiers occurred from time to time in various places. The Jurchen aristocracy felt that the Han people were difficult to govern, and they did not yet know how to rule the Central Plains, but they knew the method of "using Han to control Han".

Therefore, they decided to find an agent among the Han people in the Central Plains and set up a puppet emperor to replace and assist the Jin dynasty in strengthening its rule over the Han people in the area south of the Yellow River.

Fortunately, Liu Yu became the emperor and Shi Jingjiao second. (To be continued......)
