Chapter 4, Section 4 King Jing Zhao Yuanfen sent an envoy to Daliao and signed the Tanyuan Alliance

Snowfall, the inside of Wuli City is covered with heavy snow.

Inside the Daqing Palace

Kou Zhun took a step forward: "The old minister has something, start playing."

"Quasi-Concert".

"In this battle, I won the Great Song Dynasty by luck, but in the long run, it is still necessary for the Great Song Dynasty to form an alliance with the Liao State."

Zhao Heng glanced at Kou Zhun, none of the other ministers present spoke, and at this moment, Bi Shi'an stood up.

"The old minister thinks that what Prime Minister Kou said is very true, if you want to have long-term peace and stability, you must appease the people, do something practical for the people, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State alliance, this is like bringing a barrier to the people, there are Princess Wencheng and pro-Tubo in ancient times, Zhaojun out of the plug, etc., and so on."

Zhao Heng's face became a little serious; "You mean to ask me to send the princess to kiss, but unfortunately, one of my princesses has died early, and the other has become a monk in Kunlun Xudao, and there is no one to kiss."

"That's not what the minister meant."

"Then what do you mean"?

"It's peace, but it's not peace, the Great Song and Liao can reach an agreement and sign an alliance, and the two sides can't go to war again

"What about the content of the covenant"?

Kou Zhun continued: "The minister thought that the first Song Liao was a brotherly country, that Yelu Longxu was young, and he should call the official family a brother, and that future generations needed to do so, and the second Song Liao was bounded by the Baigou River, and the Liao State should give up Suicheng and Zhuo, Ying, and Mo Prefectures, and both sides should withdraw their troops; Thereafter, if there are thieves who have crossed the border, they shall not hide from each other; The border cities of the two dynasties are as usual, and no city gods are allowed to be built."

Zhao Heng smiled and said, "It's so good."

Kou Zhun continued: "The third Great Song Dynasty provided Liao with 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk every year for the delivery of the "expenses for helping the army".

Fourth, the Song and Liao sides set up a field on the border to carry out mutual trade."

Above the main hall, the ministers were already arguing when they heard the third article.

Ding Wei stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty, the Great Song Dynasty provides the Liao State with 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk every year.

Zhao Heng thought about it for a while and felt that it seemed to make sense, and asked again: "Then which of you is going to negotiate peace?"

His Royal Highness King Jing Zhao Yuanfen stood up: "I'll go."

Zhao Heng and everyone looked at him, and he continued: "Your Majesty has a noble status, I don't know how many variables there will be when I go this time, I can't go in person, and I, although I am just a prince, but I am also a relative of the emperor, I will not lose my identity and can share my worries for Your Majesty, this is the blessing of this king."

"According to what King Jing said, this matter will be handed over to King Jing, Kou Zhun, Bi Shi'an, and Cao to use the four of you to complete it together, and only success is allowed and no failure is allowed."

It was night, and the moon was shining.

On the shore of Lanyuan Lake, the sound of the piano is long, and the sword spirit is dashing.

Master Li stroked the qin, and Liu San changed the sword dance.

The sound of the piano stopped, the sword-dancing man stopped, and Liu Sanbian walked up to Master Li, and he took out a bunch of white calla lilies from his back.

"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, just like this white calla lily, even if you fall into the dust, it is difficult to cover your original beauty."

Master Li took the white calla lily from Liu Sanbian's hand and carefully stroked the petals.

"I heard that calla lily is also called Guanyin lotus, and legend has it that you can get "unswerving loyalty, eternal love, Liu Lang's heart teacher Bingbin, and he loves Liu Lang twice".

"You're right, I saved the people of Lanzhou, and I have to be responsible for them, so I decided to get fame, become an official, do some practical things for the people, and then, there is to redeem yourself for you, I want to marry you."

Master Li smiled shyly: "How can Master He De make Liu Lang bother so much."

The two of them looked at each other and didn't speak, and after a long time, Master Li said: "I heard that the official family sent people to Lanzhou to negotiate with the Liao people and sign an alliance."

When Liu Sanbian heard this, he was rarely happy and said: "Isn't that great, the people can live and work in peace and contentment"!

"No, it was a humiliating covenant, and the Great Song Dynasty provided Liao with 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk every year for the "expenses of helping the army" to be delivered to Xiongzhou."

Liu Sanbian thought about it: The imperial court has its own reasoning, and we can't do anything about it, but I believe that one day, in this world, there will definitely be a day when I will come out."

Liu Sanbian poured Master Li into his arms, and the two of them looked at the bright moon in the sky together.

The next day, early in the morning. Water.

King Jing, Kou Zhun, Bi Shi'an, Cao Yong, and some Song troops, they rode horses and entered the Liao camp together.

Although Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu's mother and son returned to Shangjing in Daliao with 100,000 elite soldiers, they came to Lanzhou again for this covenant.

Bi Shi'an put the "Oath of the Yuan" in his hand

It was handed to King Jing Zhao Yuanfen, and King Jing Zhao Yuanfen read the "Oath of the Yuan": "First, the establishment of friendly relations and the delivery of the New Year's coin. Second, 200,000 horses of silk and 100,000 taels of silver per year, not to mention sending ministers to the Northern Dynasty, only to send them to Xiongzhou for delivery like three people. Third, the two countries became brothers, and the Liao official family Yelu Longxu needed to respect the Song official family as a brother, and the Song official family respected the Empress Dowager Xiao as an uncle. Fourth, the provisions of the border, Song Liao with the Baigou River as the boundary, Liao should give up Suicheng and Zhuo, Ying, and Mo Prefectures, and both sides should withdraw their troops. Fifth, if there is a thief who crosses the border, there shall be no hiding from each other. Sixth, do not disturb each other's fields and crops, seventh, do not increase each other's border defense equipment; The border cities of the two dynasties, everything is as usual, and no city gods are allowed to be built. Eighth ......".

After King Jing finished reading, Kou Zhun handed a pen to King Jing, King Jing signed his name on the tiger skin with Chinese characters and Khitan script, and then Cao Yong handed the signed "Yuan Oath" to the Empress Dowager Xiao, Empress Dowager Xiao took it in her hand and looked at it, and then looked at King Jing, Kou Zhun, Bi Shi'an, and Cao Yong, and then signed her name, and after the Empress Dowager Xiao signed it, she handed it to Yelu Longxu who was beside her and looked at the Empress Dowager Xiao, thinking that since the Empress Dowager Xiao had signed, there was naturally no problem. He also signed his name.

King Jing stepped forward and bowed to the Empress Dowager Xiao: "Since the covenant has been decided, then the king will call the Empress Dowager Xiao your uncle like the Song official family."

Empress Dowager Xiao signaled: "Virtuous nephews don't have to be polite, if there is nothing else important, then we will go to Beijing virtuously."

"Okay, Yuanfen sends my uncle."

King Jing, Kou Zhun, Bi Shi'an, and Cao Yong watched Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Longxu walk into the tent.

If my mother is still here, is she like her, although she is richly dressed, she is full of white hair, her face is full of wrinkles, and she is a pair of old hands, and her steps are faltering."

"Lord Wang, please mourn and change, people can't be resurrected after death."

King Jing, Kou Zhun, Bi Shi'an, and Cao used four people to walk out of the tent of the Liao camp, and around here, there were already people everywhere who went to the tent.

The night wind was cold and there was some snow.

Li Shishi stood beside Liu Sanbian, and Liu Sanbian was poking an ice cave, and after a while, the ice cave was punctured by him, Liu Sanbian and Li Shishi fell into it at the same time, Li Shishi was not familiar with water, Liu Sanbian worked hard to grab her skirt, so that she would not sink any further, Liu Sanbian kissed her, after a long time, the two of them came back to the water, the two of them found a cave, Liu Sanbian picked up some dry firewood, made a fire, he also built a shelf, took out two fish from his sleeve, put the fish on the shelf and roasted, Master Li sat on the side, Liu Sanbian set up another shelf, took off the outermost layer of clothes, and put it next to the fire, for a long time, he reached out and touched it, his clothes were already dry.

"You take off your clothes, put on this one of mine, don't catch the cold, then I will be distressed."

Master Li took Liu Sanbian's clothes from Liu Sanbian's hand, she walked to the hanger, and Liu Sanbian was sitting in front of the hanger, he touched some grilled fish with the tip of his fingers, and sniffed it again: "Well, it's so fragrant, the fragrance has come out, you change your clothes and come out quickly, otherwise this fragrant grilled fish will be eaten by me alone."

Master Li changed his clothes and sat next to Liu Sanbian, who handed her a string of grilled fish: "It seems that we can only eat grilled fish tonight, Gai Ming'er, let's go back to the capital and I'll take you to eat something delicious."

Master Li nodded shyly and hummed, and the two of them sat by the fire, eating grilled fish with relish.
