It is said that Fuliang Bimaitia returned to the post station, and the two were eating in the house, when they heard Liu Xingfu coming to visit, they unconsciously glanced at each other, Maitia then cleaned up the leftovers, and Fuliangbi got up to greet him.

Fu Liangbi and Liu Xingfu Lishang exchanged for a long time, but he heard Liu Xingfu go straight to the point: "Special Envoy Fu, my majesty listened to the special envoy's words of honor and disgrace today, and unconsciously caused deep thought, and it was difficult to sleep and eat after returning to the palace, so he specially ordered me to come and discuss with the special envoy. His Majesty accepted the Song State coins every year, felt ashamed, and insisted on wanting to get back the ten counties in Guannan. ”

Fu Liangbi listened, and Zhengse said: "Before I went to Xiongzhou, His Majesty summoned me to the Chongzheng Palace, saying, 'I protect the land for my ancestors, how dare I give it to others at will!'" What the Liao State wanted was nothing more than the taxes generated on these lands. I couldn't bear to see the lives ruined, so I was wronged to increase the New Year's coins instead of cutting the land. He paused, then sneered and said, "If the Liao State insists on asking for land, it will be to destroy the Lanyuan Alliance, and it is just an excuse to cut the land." ”

Liu Xingfu secretly hated Fu Liangbi's stubbornness, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and when he heard him mention breaking the covenant, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to say this, Fu Special Envoy, Your Majesty of my family is willing to discourage public opinion, and he doesn't want to lose his life easily, and insists on asking for the ten counties in Guannan, but he just wants to take back ......the old land of his ancestors."

He saw that Fu Liangbi had a calm face and was unmoved, so he had to laugh and say: "Since the Song Kingdom is ashamed of cutting the land, then we won't mention this, just mention the harmony?" ”

Liu Xingfu wanted to say more, but when Maitia came with hot wine and new dishes, he had to stop and keep silent, sneering, and waiting for her to put the dishes one by one.

Fu Liangbi thought about it for a while, and when Maitia set up the dishes, he thanked her, Maitia smiled back, and exited the house, Fu Liangbi said to Liu Xingfu: "Liu is the companion, the eldest princess of this dynasty is married, and the dowry is only 100,000 yuan." In addition, this princess may not be able to reconcile with His Majesty the Liao Emperor, if there is a disagreement, it will go against the original intention, but it is better to get the New Year's coins every year. ”

Liu Xingfu unconsciously became more and more depressed.

Fu Liangbi poured wine for him and said: "Speaking of which, this is very wonderful, His Majesty the Liao Emperor has never seen Princess Yizhi, so why, I have to marry her." ”

Liu Xingfu recalled what Fu Liangbi had said when he was in Xiongzhou, hesitated for a long time, and said: "This is highly recommended by the younger brother of the Liao Emperor, and he praised this princess for being relaxed, brave and resourceful, and a good person." Your Majesty heard that our notoriously arrogant little princess had been taught a lesson by her, and looked at it more and more differently, so he adopted this advice. ”

Fu Liangbi hooked the corners of his mouth, poured himself a glass of wine, he paused for a moment, and then said: "The younger brother of the Liao Emperor is not greedy for the throne, and the righteous act of destroying relatives, I have also heard a little about it in the Song Kingdom, thinking about it, His Majesty the Liao Emperor must trust the Liao Emperor very much." ”

He saw that Liu Xingfu was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said yes, and understood a little in his heart.

He smiled again: "However, I heard that Liaoxia has been quite bad recently, and the younger brother of the Liao Emperor led his troops to fight with Yuan Hao and fought a battle on the border, so it stands to reason that he should know." ”

Liu Xingfu looked at Fu Liangbi unconsciously and asked, "What do you know?" ”

Fu Liangbi said: "Xixia and the Song State made peace, willing to continue to be a vassal, Your Majesty saw that he was willing to turn back, so he thought of marrying the princess of memory to him, which has been put on the peace process, and there are many people who know." If the younger brother of the Liao Emperor doesn't know, it's okay, if he knows. He smiled: "Why do you hate Yuan Hao so much?" Still is...... Don't have a picture. ”

Liu Xingfu frowned and said, "Don't have any plans? ”

Fu Liangbi said: "Yuan Hao this person is obedient, all the people he recruits, if there is no disobedience, after raising troops to attack and fight, cut off his ears and nose, it can be seen how domineering and violent, if he knows that the Song Dynasty will marry the princess who was originally going to marry him, marry someone else, and take away the hatred of his wife, can he give up?" It's not wise to provoke a mad dog that will bite indiscriminately. ”

Liu Xingfu said: "What you say ......"

Fu Liangbi took a sip of wine and continued: "When I was in Xiongzhou, I heard rumors that the shadow was directly aimed at the younger brother of the Liao Emperor, not because he couldn't bear to kill each other, so he raised the Queen Mother of Liao, but because he knew that His Majesty the Liao Emperor had already gotten the news, so he abandoned the car to protect the handsome. ”

He looked at Liu Xingfu and said: "The Song State cannot cede the country, and there are many interests in harmony, as I said in the afternoon, only by accepting the New Year's coins will it be beneficial and harmless to Your Majesty." ”

Liu Xingfu was like an initiation, and saluted: "Envoy Fu, you are really taught!" ”

But said that Yizhi learned that Fu Liangbi had returned safely from Liao, and hurriedly ran to the Secret Pavilion Library, and when he crossed the threshold, he accidentally tripped his foot, and his body slammed forward, almost falling down, but fortunately, Xing'er ran up with both hands and supported her.

Yizhi stood firm, saw that there was no one around, just left, and looked into the library building again, only to see Fu Liangbi holding a book in his hand, standing sideways on the bookshelf platform, looking at himself and laughing, he suddenly felt that his face was hot, hesitated, and still had to move forward, he felt faceless for a while, and said angrily: "What are you laughing at." ”

Fu Liangbi pretended to be sad and said: "It's so big, and it's reckless." ”

Remembrance: "I'm still young. ”

Fu Liangbi smiled and shook his head.

Yi Zhi took a few steps forward and said, "I heard that you are killing all sides in the Liao Kingdom, and you are very majestic!" ”

Fu Liangbi sighed lightly, closed the book, squinted at Yizhi dotingly, and said, "I just didn't want to listen to these flattering words, so I hid in the Secret Pavilion." ”

Yizhi smiled: "I'm not flattering, every sentence comes from the bottom of my heart, Brother Liangbi knows best, I can't tell lies." ”

Fu Liangbi said: "This matter has not been resolved, Emperor Liao asked me to come back, draw up a number of affidavites, and let him choose at his discretion." ”

Yizhi thought about it, took another step forward, looked up at Fu Liangbi, and said: "From the time they set the conditions, to the time we set the conditions for them to choose, isn't this enough?" ”

Fu Liangbi took out another book from the bookshelf, and remembered again: "I went to Liao this time, but I saw some situations clearly. ”

Yizhi asked, "What situation?" ”

Fu Liangbi asked, "There will be internal troubles in the Liao Kingdom. ”

Yizhi asked, "Where does this come from?" ”

Fu Liangbi said: "If I guess correctly, Yelu Chongyuan has the intention of usurping the throne. ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "Fortunately, in the Song court, there are many mercenary words, and it is difficult to distinguish loyal and traitorous ministers. There are also some people who are as timid as rats, fearing that they will be burned but seek self-preservation, but in the end, there are no great traitors and evil people who cause chaos in the court. ”

Yizhi thought of Lu Yijian and did not agree.

Fu Liangbi understood her thoughts, and said to Yidao: "The hatred in my heart is no less than yours." However, in this matter, he put the national prestige first, and strongly recommended me to be an envoy to the Liao State, and he defended you in the end. ”

Yizhi was stunned for a long time, and then heard Fu Liangbi ask: "Yuan Hao still has no news." ”

She frowned unconsciously and said sadly: "Maybe I overestimated myself." ”

Lowered his eyes for a while, his expression was melancholy, and suddenly he saw the little inner eunuch beside Yanwen Yuan looking around, flying away into the library pavilion, and hurriedly shouting to him.

The little inner supervisor heard the voice, quickened his pace, trotted towards Yizhi, and said: "Your Royal Highness the Princess, rich officials, no, the front line has come to report, the head of the Western Xia rebel thieves led the army to attack Weizhou, and Weizhou was originally able to resist, so the Xia pacification mission was immovable, and the deputy envoy Han disobeyed the order of the Xia pacification envoy and sent troops to rush to help, wanting to encircle and annihilate the Western Xia army, but for some reason, the sky suddenly became black and windy, and the arrogance of the Western Xia army was greatly increased, and the Song army had a total of nearly 20,000 troops on both roads, more than 200 generals, and the whole army was wiped out. ”

When the two of them heard this, their faces changed in an instant, and they felt as if countless tentacles were densely crawling up to their shoulders and burrowing into their chests, itching inwardly. Fu Liangbi said to the way of memory: "He's demonstrating!" ”

He saw that she was in a trance, and he couldn't slow down for a long time, and asked: "This person is decisive in killing and ruthless, can you be sure to control him!" ”

Yizhi was stunned for a long time, and sighed suspiciously, it wasn't that she couldn't understand what he meant, but she couldn't give him a positive answer.

Fu Liangbi glanced at the little inner supervisor again, and pressed his mind down.

The little inner supervisor said: "Your Majesty urgently summoned Zai Fu to a meeting in the Chongzheng Palace, and also invited the princess to go with Lord Fu. ”

The two of them understood, and hurriedly left, even Chongzheng Palace, but seeing that Sheng Hong was furious and was admonishing directly, he said: "Han Yuqi is crazy and belligerent, violates military orders and is greedy for merit, and loses more than 10,000 elite soldiers in vain, and there are even Wang Gui, Ren Fu and other brave generals such as Xuanhe Biaobing, Your Majesty, Huangkou Xiaoer is unusable!" ”

Du Xing sneered and said: "Yes, how old is Han Yuqi, naturally he can't compare to the grand officials who are calm and serious, I look at Jingyuan Road, it is better for the grand officials to hold on!" ”

Sheng Hong trembled angrily, a finger pointed at Du Xing, his eyes were like copper bells, and a thousand words were in his throat, and there was only one left, you, you, you.

Du Xing continued: "It is clear that Ren Fu has won a few battles, and he boasts that he is amazing, Han Yuqi repeatedly told him to choose the opportunity to fight, cooperate with the defense of Weizhou, and wait for the Western Xia army to attack the city and outflank it when its energy is exhausted, and then flank it, not to ...... prematurely."

Sheng Hong shouted: "Now that the whole army is annihilated, there is no proof of death!" He snorted again and said, "Is it just his words?" ”

Su Changchun said: "Grand official, since Han Yuqi has written to ask for guilt, he is willing to take all the responsibility, so why exonerate!" ”

Sheng Du sneered: "Hmph, who know that this letter is not a turn to excuse yourself!" ”

But I heard Song Xian, the new governor of the political council, say: "Your Majesty, Yuan Hao has a yin and evil temperament, treacherous methods, it is difficult to speculate with common sense, Weizhou Dingchuan Village was defeated, Weizhou Zhizhou, and it is the responsibility to appease the deputy envoy Han Yuqi, but there is still one person who is also to blame!" ”

Everyone looked at it for a moment. I saw that Song Xian was awe-inspiring, and his voice was like a bell, and he said: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to impeach Fan Zhongyan, the deputy envoy of Yanzhou Prefecture and Yanyan Road, who corresponded with Yuan Hao in private, and tore up the letter in front of the envoys, which is equivalent to collaborating with the enemy and treason!" ”

Du Xing hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! Fan Zhongyan was ordered by the emperor to recruit Yuan Hao for the Song court, Fan Zhongyan held Yanzhou, trained and strengthened the army, successively recovered Jinming Village, Saimen Village, etc., and built camps and villages, and the border defense line along the Yanyan Road was strengthened, and the Western Xia army had no loopholes to find. In the Shaanxi area, there is a song that says: "There is a Han in the army, and the heart of Xixia is cold." There is a fan in the army, and Xixia was shocked when he heard it! "Your Majesty, Fan Zhongyan is so loyal and resolute, the crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason is simply out of nowhere, and I want to add to the crime!"

Zhao Zhen sat upright under the Danqi, pondered for a moment, and suddenly asked Yizhi: "Imperial sister, Fan Zhongyan is the nominal protégé of Duke Linzi and his best friend, you should know him very well, what do you think?" ”

Everyone suddenly turned their eyes on Yizhi's body, Yizhi met Lu Yijian's gaze, and saw her uncle secretly shaking his head at herself - she understood his deep meaning, this matter is related to the government, there is Empress Dowager Liu as the assistant to the previous dynasty, and this dynasty is behind the curtain.

She moved her gaze to Zhao Zhen, hooked the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Where does Yizhi know anything about government politics, I only know that Uncle Fan is the most upright person Yizhi has ever seen in his life." In my most difficult time, it was all based on his saying, 'The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy.'" 'to maintain one's heart. He and General Liu Ping, the former Wang Xianggong, in my mind, are the same existence as my father. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Yizhi, only to feel that she was extremely fragile and tenacious, and he was very moved.

Yizhi said: "But again, Uncle Fan corresponded with Yuan Hao in private, and it is indeed a little self-assertive to tear up the letterhead, but instead of us arguing here, it is better for him to defend himself, listen to his explanation, and then make a decision." She knew that although Zhao Zhen's mind was deep and detailed, he had a long and thick temperament, and he couldn't make a decision easily, so he said such a thing, and sure enough, he saw Zhao Zhen's eyes light up, and the dark clouds on his face dispersed most, and he pointed to the way of memory: "Okay, just do it!" ”

Yizhi breathed a sigh of relief, and she saw Song Xian and Lu Yijian inadvertently glance at each other, and she had some guesses in her heart.

Just as he was in a trance, Fu Liangbi whispered, "Are you the same as I thought?" ”

Yizhi hummed suspiciously, and saw that he also looked at Lu Yijian with his eyes, so he explained, and looked at Fu Liangbi again, and the two of them looked away through their eyes, and they both sneered again.

Remembering said softly, "You're hot now, and be careful. ”

Fu Liangbi was about to speak, but he heard Zhao Zhen say: "Weizhou is full of white bones, and Han Yuqi is hard to blame, but he is loyal to the monarch and the country, and he personally led the elite soldiers to resist the Western Xia several times, and there is no merit and hard work, so he immediately removed him from the post of deputy envoy of Shaanxi Economic Strategy and was demoted to the governor of Qinzhou." ”

After hearing this, Yizhi and Fu Liangbi glanced at each other, and they didn't feel mixed feelings.

I continued to listen to him and said: "This Yuan Hao is really terrifying, how is the oath to Liao from the Hanlin Academy being drafted? ”

Master Hanlin stepped forward and said: "The first draft has been decided, and according to Your Majesty's wishes, the first one will be written according to the marriage contract, and the second letter will be written according to the additional 100,000 yuan. ”

When Yizhi heard that the first vows were written according to the marriage contract, his heart moved, and Fu Liangbi whispered relief: "You just have to rest assured." "That's just a little relieved.

Zhao Zhen said: "Chase, add one more, and write the third one according to the increase of 200,000 yuan." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar.

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "Naturally, a treaty must be added, the premise is that the Liao State will restrain the Western Xia and call the Song State a vassal!" ”

Fu Liangbi stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, in these three covenants, there are three more points, one is that the border will not expand the reservoir, the second is that the two countries must not increase troops on the border without reason, and the third is that the two countries must not take in each other's fugitives. This is a promise that I negotiated when I was in Liao, and it needs to be transcribed. ”

Zhao Zhen said in a good voice, and said: "Immediately promote Fu Liangbi to be the deputy envoy of the privy council and concurrently serve as a scholar of the secret pavilion, and an attendant in front of the palace." ”

His Royal Highness's ministers looked at each other unconsciously.

Fu Liangbi said loudly: "Your Majesty, the country is in danger, and it is incumbent on Weichen to do so, and now that the matter has not been settled, how dare you receive favor first!" ”

Zhao Zhen's eyes became more and more full of praise when he looked at Fu Liangbi, he patted the armrest of the golden chair and praised: "Good, good, good Liangbi!" In this case, you might as well wait for your success to return, and then it is not too late to make a big seal, right now, you will immediately leave for tens of millions of Liao countries, and the Hanlin Academy will step up the drawing up of the oath, and then send someone to catch up with Liangbi quickly. The province has many long nights and dreams, and there are regenerational changes! ”

Fu Liangbi received the order.
