Chapter 64: Playing with Liao

It is said that Maitia heard Xing'er talk about kissing, and immediately ran back to the house, but saw that the memory was calm and relaxed, and she was practicing calligraphy with a pen, and suddenly felt angry, and shouted softly: "I really don't understand you, but you are always in a hurry about other people's affairs, but you don't care about your own affairs!" ”

Yi practiced calligraphy on the other side, and said: "He didn't want to be a bad person, so he invited me to Zichen Hall to listen to the discussion, he thought that the Lu Guild advocated peace, but he didn't think about it, Princess Lu Zhang negotiated." In fact, he had already made up his mind in his heart. Since ancient times, kings have been thin, cunning rabbits have died, and lackeys have cooked, what is a rare thing. Even if it wasn't me, it was his own sister, he would. I'm just angry that he has no blood, and he dares to do it but he doesn't dare to do it. ”

Matia took a step closer and whispered, "Let's run!" ”

Remembering the way: "Even if I can run, what about my mother, her temperament, if she is not careful, she will leak even a little, and it will affect my uncle's family." Manchu Dynasty civil and military, how many were my father's close friends, now the trees are falling and scattered, only my uncle and Uncle Du are trying to disagree with me directly, how can I just want to be happy? ”

Maitia looked gloomy and said, "Are you really willing to marry into Liao?" ”

Yizhi raised his head and thought about it, and said: "Brother Liangbi will definitely send an envoy to Liao State in response to this matter and fight for me and the country." I believe in him. She paused for a moment, and then said, "Even if it doesn't work, there are still two months before I go out for 100 days, and I have to plan well to succeed." ”

She muttered in a low voice, "Then why does Liao Xingzong insist on marrying me?" She looked at Mathia again and said, "Could it be because of Yuan Hao?" ”

Mattia frowned.

Yizhi looked at Maitia, thought for a long time, and said: "Brother Liangbi's Liao State and his party are very dangerous, are you willing to go with him to Liao Kingdom to protect his safety." ”

Mattia's eyes were bright, and she nodded, "Yes." ”

Memory: "Thank you. ”

Matthia said, "You are alone, and you must be careful in everything!" ”

Remember: "Don't worry, I'm useful, no one will hurt me." Besides, Your Majesty is soft-hearted, and I only need to put on a face that I am willing to sacrifice for the community, and he will feel guilty. ”

Matia was not at ease and said, "You are indeed willing to sacrifice for the community. ”

Remembering the way: "I am willing to sacrifice my life for the country, but this sacrifice is not a good man." She held up her pen, studied her handwriting, and said, "I know you're in correspondence with Sunur. ”

Maitia's face changed, and she was silent for a long time before she said, "He intended to recruit An, but I didn't pay attention to him." After returning to Beijing, you occasionally ask me if you are okay, that's all. ”

The Way of Remembrance: "I believe in you, and I believe in Yuan Hao. She paused for a moment and said, "You can tell Yuan Hao that Liao Xingzong wants to marry me, and ask him if the two of them have any trouble." ”

But it was said that Fu Liangbi traveled a long way to Xiongzhou, waited in the post house for many days, and the Liao side was delayed in the future, and Maitia saw that Fu Liangbi read and practiced words every day, and he was calm and relaxed, and he laughed unconsciously, and said: "You brothers and sisters, the style is very similar, no wonder, but it is not from a draft." ”

Fu Liangbi dipped the end of his pen in ink and said with a smile: "Maitia, have you been in contact with Sunur?" ”

"He hasn't replied yet, and I don't know if he's received any news. ”

Fu Liangbi raised his head, looked away, thought for a while, and lowered his head to continue practicing calligraphy.

Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, after he lowered his head, she waited for a while before going to sencha, she turned her back to him, turned the stone mill, grinded the tea powder, and unconsciously glanced back at him, hooked the corners of her mouth, and quickly pressed it again.

The two lived in the post station for more than half a month, and the Liao State came with the envoys.

Fu Liangbi got the news and greeted the envoy.

After seeing Liu Xingfu with his companion, Liao Ma Xiaote sat in the car at the end, but he just said hello from afar, and did not get out of the car, but looked at Fu Liangbi with blazing eyes, shook his head slightly, hooked the corners of his mouth, and was full of provocation.

Fu Liangbi frowned unconsciously, and also pulled the corners of his mouth at him, revealing a perfunctory smile.

Xiao Temo saw that he didn't speak for a long time, just stared at him, smiled unbelievably, and said loudly: "This horse, there is an old disease on the foot, and the rich person is considerate and considerate, so there is no need to be polite." ”

Fu Liangbi saw the majesty and majesty of his life, and listened to his voice like a bell, and secretly thought in his heart, what a big dismount, so he pretended to be stunned and said: "The horse is wrong to say this, is it that you and I meet this time to talk about the old in private?" You and I represent our respective courts, and we are the faces of our respective countries. "He barely said, why did he send a lame man? He paused again and sneered: "The so-called etiquette represents the intersection of the two countries, how can it be said that it is exempt?" ”

Xiao Temo looked sideways unconsciously, looked at Fu Liangbi for a long time, and suddenly laughed again, he stretched out his left hand, and the attendant understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him out of the carriage.

Fu Liangbi saw that he pretended to be lame and limp, and the lie was rounded, and he pressed his smile, the two respectfully saluted, and politely greeted each other, Liu Xingfu smiled and said: "Su Wen Fu envoy is wise and decisive, and his talent is keen. ”

Fu Liangbi smiled and waved his hand, pushing and conceding.

Liu Xingfu smiled and said, "Since Envoy Fu is a bright person, I won't go around with you." The friends of the Liao and Song dynasties have been brothers and sisters for more than 30 years, and they can not easily meet each other in arms, but in fact, there is room for roundabouts. As he spoke, he glared at Fu Liangbi again.

Fu Liangbi said sadly: "But it is difficult to do, since ancient times, there is no precedent for cutting land and seeking peace, if I start the dynasty, will I not be ridiculed by future generations, Song Liao is a friend, and to be considerate." As for the marriage, the princess asked by His Majesty the Emperor of Daliao is discussing marriage with others, and the stakes in this can not be explained clearly in one or two sentences. ”

Xiao Temo was silent for a long time, and sneered: "What does Envoy Fu say, what is the difference between saying it and not saying it, since you can't agree to the conditions offered by my Da Liao, then what else do you want to do, it's better to send troops directly!" ”

Fu Liangbi smiled and said: "Liao Suma said this, what he said is not right, since the imperial court sent me, naturally I don't want to easily break this brotherly covenant......" Xiao Temo didn't wait for him to finish, and snorted coldly.

Fu Liangbi had to pause, and continued: "We are willing to increase the New Year's coins to show our sincerity. ”

Liu Xingfu and Xiao Temo heard this, glanced at each other, and after about a sentence or two, Liu Xingfu said with a smile: "I just heard Special Envoy Fu mention that there is still something at stake in the matter of harmony, this is a major matter between the two countries, and there are many inconveniences for you, so you have to ask Special Envoy Fu to go to Linhuang Mansion in person, and talk about it in detail." ”

Maitia's heart moved, and she thought that Shangjing Linhuang Mansion was the capital of Liao, and she went so deep into the enemy camp, and she didn't feel worried.

She looked at Fu Liangbi, but when she saw Fu Liangbi, she smiled and said: "It's not a big deal to talk about the benefits and disadvantages in detail, but I am my Great Song Emperor's personal envoy to accompany the envoy to the Liao State, which is not within the scope of my duties, how can I overstep it." You have to play the Holy Majesty, please make a decision. ”

Liu Xingfu and Xiao Temo glanced at each other again, and Xiao Temo smiled and said: "In this case, I might as well stay in Xiongzhou for a few days, Special Envoy Liu, how about you go back to your majesty first?" Liu Xingfu naturally smiled and agreed.

Everyone pretended to be polite, Fu Liangbi led the crowd back to the post station, Maitia couldn't help but chuckle, Fu Liangbi glanced at her, and asked softly, "What are you laughing at?" ”

Maitia replied softly: "I laugh, or the gentleman has a way, they have delayed us for so long in vain, and it is only fair to ask them to wait for us." She laughed for a while, and then said, "I'm just afraid that I'll delay the girl's time." ”

Fu Liangbi smiled and asked, "Do you believe me?" ”

Maitia suddenly looked at Fu Liangbi, and unconsciously felt a wave in her heart, and said firmly: "Believe! ”

Fu Liangbi smiled: "Then don't be afraid. ”

Maitia looked at Fu Liangbi for a long time before saying, "Hmm! ”

Suddenly, after another five days, Kyoto replied, the Son of Heaven specially ordered Fu Liangbi to send an envoy to Liao, Fu Liangbi and others packed up their simple clothes, and went to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing with Xiao Temo's horse team.

Looking at the scenery along the way, Fuliangbi saw the vast sky, the grassland was abundant, the river was soothing, the sky was light and clouds, and the nomadic scenery made people feel peaceful. He glanced at Mathia and asked, "Matia, do you miss your hometown?" ”

Maitia looked at Fu Liangbi and said, "I grew up in the Song Kingdom, and I don't know what my hometown is. After my grandfather died, I lost my home. ”

Fu Liangbi said: "Have you ever thought that in the Uighurs, there may be your relatives? ”

Maitia looked at Fu Liangbi for a long time and said, "I have thought about it. ”

Fu Liangbi asked again: "Then have you thought about going to them?" ”

Mattia was silent, and after about a sentence or two, she said, "Yes, I thought about it before, but I don't think about it now." ”

Fu Liangbi didn't notice it, and asked, "Why is this?" ”

Maitia smiled: "I have relatives, the girl and Mr., as well as Mr. Han and Mr. Shi are all my relatives." If you have sustenance in your heart, you will no longer look into the distance. ”

Fu Liangbi looked at Maitia and smiled, unconsciously remembering Shi Jie's careful thoughts, wanting to test it, but feeling inappropriate, so he pressed the table and lifted the curtain to look at the scenery.

After walking for about four days before going to Beijing, Liu Xingfu had already led everyone to wait in front of the post station.

Furabi got out of the carriage and stepped forward, followed by Mattia.

Liu Xingfu was slightly subdued, and then crossed Fu Liangbi to look at the humble team of men and horses behind him, smiled, and said, "The envoy of Song came by coincidence, and the khan is hunting. "Reach out and lead the way.

Fu Liangbi looked at the sky, and saw that the stratus clouds were stacked, as if there was a trend of clouds and rain, and he had already understood. He sneered in his heart, and said, "Please also ask Liao to lead the way." ”

Fu Liangbi followed Liu Xingfu on the horse, stayed to the hunting ground, far away only to hear a hundred horsemen galloping, the sound of Duo shook the ground, but saw the cavalry strong, shirtless galloping on the grassland, when the bow and arrow sounded, the geese fell in response, elk, wild boar wailed to the ground. The shouts of the cavalry pierced through the clouds, and the aftermath echoed endlessly.

Liu Xingfu brought Fu Liangbi to Liao Xingzong, when Fu Liangbi was in front of him, Liao Xingzong waved his face, pouted, snorted, and said: "Your Song State violated the covenant, dispatched troops to Yanmen Pass, increased ponds, built walls and moats, and recruited militias. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Fu Liangbi again and said, "But some people don't appreciate it!" With that, he bent his bow and shot an arrow, hitting the elk, and someone rode away and picked up the elk with a spear, and the crowd shouted Long live Your Majesty, long live Da Liao.

Liao Xingzong Yelu Zong Zhen sneered: "If we have to fight, our Liao Kingdom will not be afraid of anyone!" ”

Fu Liangbi said with a smile: "His Majesty the Great Liao Emperor is benevolent, it is really the blessing of the people, it is said that when the Liao State was at war, my Emperor Song Xian His Majesty drove the imperial expedition and killed the main general of the Liao army. With such kindness, if you want to come to His Majesty the Liao Emperor, you can't forget it.

The current situation is compared to that time. It's just a small thing. ”

Yelu Zongzhen looked at Fu Liangbi.

Fu Liangbi lowered his eyes and continued to say respectfully: "Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Liao, the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty deceived the heavens and rebelled against the king, and the territory was narrow, and the upper and lower sides deviated, so the Liao State was able to attack Zhongzhou. Now Zhongzhou is sealed for thousands of miles, there are millions of elite soldiers, laws and regulations are repaired, and there are Fan Zhongyan, Han Yuqi, Di Qing and other resourceful, brave and fearless generals.

Even if you can get away with the war between the two countries, it will be a waste of money and money. If the battle is defeated, how will the people of Li blame those ministers, and naturally His Majesty will bear the brunt! ”

He also said: "The two countries are good, and the annual currency is in the treasury, what are the interests of the ministers?" If there is a war, it can be very different, military supplies, weapons, war horses, which is not a project that can be reached out to His Majesty to ask for money, the mystery here, Your Majesty can't guess it?

Therefore, Liangbi dared to say bluntly, for the ministers, it is better to fight than to be peaceful; For Your Majesty, it is better to be in peace than to fight! ”

Yelu Zong really gasped unconsciously, but he couldn't find a flaw, and opened his mouth for a while, not knowing what to say.

Fu Liangbi continued: "The addition of troops in Yanmen is to guard against Zhao Yuanhao and dredge the river, which was already going on before the Liao State was reconciled; The city is dilapidated, some militia is recruited to repair it, what is there to make a fuss about, Your Majesty, you say, yes or no? ”

Yelu Zong was really stunned for a long time, and had to say: "In this way, it is indeed a misunderstanding, but the ten counties of Guannan are the old land of the ancestors, and they must be returned!" ”

Fu Liangbi said: "Your Majesty, the Later Jin Dynasty used Lu and Long Prefectures to bribe the Khitan, and Zhou Shizong seized the ten counties of Guannan, this is all a matter of the previous dynasty, if Your Majesty you have to go back to the ten counties of Guannan, then the sixteen states of Yanyun, do I have a reason to go back?" ”

Yelu Zong was really speechless, so he smiled and said: "If the Song State is willing to cede the ten counties in Guannan, my Liao State will definitely make friends with you in the Great Song Dynasty and never meet each other!" ”

He saw Fu Liangbi thinking about it, and he was secretly happy in his heart, but he heard him say in a deep voice: "The Liao State is proud of the land, and my Song State is humiliated by the loss of the land, the two countries are friends, how can they let their brothers be humiliated!" ”

Yelu Zongzhen couldn't argue, but he didn't feel angry, glared at Fu Liangbi, and said with a smile: "The envoy came from afar, and he worked hard, so he might as well go to the post station to rest first." ”
