Chapter 204: The Trap of Peace Talks
The next day the weather was terrible, it was a thunderstorm day. But this did not affect the meeting between the two parties. Ouyang was even half an hour earlier than Li Qianshun. Li Qianshun felt a little comforted when he arrived, but he was quickly angered by Ouyang's words.
Ouyang's words were: "The entire Tuoba clan migrated to Songnei. You can choose Sulphur and Temasek. You can also choose Qiongzhou. The nobles of the Tuoba clan could choose to enter the court as officials, or give fiefs anywhere in the Great Song Dynasty. As for the segregation arrangements for the chiefs of other ethnic groups, the residents of the various ethnic groups in the party were diverted from place to place. The tribal surname was abolished and the surname was given by the emperor. ”
What is it? It's all in the run. Not only to take all the Western Xia, but also to exterminate the party and the species. Li Qianshun jumped up when he heard this, pointed at Ouyang's nose and was furious: "You deceive people too much." ”
Ouyang ignored it and said: "As for Your Majesty's treatment, it is better, thousands of acres of fertile land, hereditary prince, and a state in the Song Dynasty." That is, His Majesty wants to change to a rich place to be king. His Majesty's concubines and children can all follow, and they can also choose five hundred guards. If it had been half a month ago, of course I wouldn't have dared to say that. But His Majesty should know that Western Xia is now in name only. The only reason why General Han's army did not attack Xingqing Mansion was that he did not want to lose his life. ”
Li Qianshun said angrily: "I will not be coerced by others, I would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile." ”
Ouyang smiled: "Your Majesty still has how much jade to break?" As far as I know, excluding deserters, there are less than 80,000 soldiers and less than 10,000 horses in Xingqing City. Also, because of the imprisonment of Wei Ming Shouquan and General Li Huan, the Proton Army and the Iron Harrier Army were unstable. These two were originally His Majesty's cronies, but now His Majesty can be said to have rebelled and separated. Of course, His Majesty still has some bargaining chips, such as the soldiers in the city, and the Great Song Dynasty also relies on His Majesty to pacify the Quartet. ”
A person beside Li Qianshun said coldly: "As far as I know, Emperor Song sent Lord Ou to talk about the military power of Western Xia. did not authorize Lord Ou to kill them all. ”
"I'm sorry, this official is now a messenger, and he has the right to act cheaply. Otherwise, what else do you want this official to do? Just send Zhang the peace treaty and let His Majesty sign it. Ouyang Dao: "Your Majesty also knows that the Western Xia Army can't attack it at all. Every day that dragged on, Western Xia became weaker by one point. If there is another month or two, countless people will starve to death in Xingqing Province, the plague will be rampant, and the whole city will become a dead city. Your Majesty, the tide is over. ”
Li Qianshun's face was gloomy and he was about to speak, when an accompanying white-haired old man said: "Slow, if the Great Song Dynasty can promise me a condition in Western Xia, this official will definitely facilitate this matter." ”
An official whispered in Ouyang's ear: "This person's name is Wu Wei, and he was originally the magistrate of a county under the rule of Emperor Shenzong. Later, he lost his official position, and came to Western Xia with Zhang Wan before he was twenty. Wu Wei proposed that in order to establish a long-lasting and prestigious Western Xia State, it was necessary to enter the Central Plains, occupy the land of the Han people, and use the talents of the Han people, which caused frequent wars on the border between the Western Xia and the Song Kingdom. Each subsequent generation of Western Xia emperors accepted his idea of aggression against the Central Plains and devoured the Song soil. ”
Ouyang pinched his fingers and counted, ah! This old traitor actually lived to be more than seventy years old. Ouyang watched a serial, saying that it was the story of a *** person who worked as a spy in the Japanese army in order to help the CCP during the anti-Japanese period, and he did not hesitate to kill his old friends for decades, and he did not hesitate to send a large number of *** people to hell. Ouyang doesn't like *** people, but he doesn't like this kind of person even more. I even feel that this kind of person who destroys his nature for the sake of the so-called ideal cannot be called a human being at all, and it is more hateful than those who are greedy for life and afraid of death. Look at that person like this, let alone look at this Wu Wei. The more Ouyang looked at it, the more unhappy he became.
However, there are still negotiations, Ouyang nodded and said, "Please speak." "This is the courtier of the three courts, and the prestige must be sufficient.
"Although Lord Ou is a Qincha, it is difficult to say this resignation. Besides, even if the adults don't step down, I'm afraid they won't be without a follow-up. In order to ensure the safety of my lord, if the Great Song Dynasty is willing to marry Zhao Hu'er, the beloved daughter of the Emperor, to my lord, this matter is naturally easy to say. ”
Ouyang's eyelids jumped. Bastard, he even knows what he wants to do. He had a letter in his arms, addressed to Zhang Xuanming, asking him to lead the Tokyo Forbidden Army to intercept and kill Li Qianshun. But if this Zhao Hu'er marries Li Qianshun, then everything will be in trouble. Zhang Xuanming must not dare to take matters personally, otherwise he will definitely die on his back. Although the emperor has no power, his status is noble. Zhao Yu didn't dare to risk the world's condemnation. After all, first, there was a peace treaty on the surface, and second, he used the emperor's beloved daughter as a sacrifice, and Zhao Yu became a king without faith and virtue.
If you agree to come down, and then cut the *** couple, you will inevitably be caught and put on the pot afterwards. Ouyang will look at Wu Wei even more unpleasantly. Li Qianshun pinched a cold sweat in his heart, he was not stupid, looking at Ouyang's expression, he understood that Ouyang had planned to unload the mill and kill the donkey. As soon as you surrender, life begins to count down. Fortunately, Wu Wei knew the Han people well.
A very inconspicuous princess of the former dynasty, but instead became a gold medal for avoiding death, *** This thing is really intriguing. Ouyang's right index finger and middle finger unconsciously kept tapping on the table, and it was quiet on all sides, everyone was waiting for Ouyang's answer.
Wu Wei took a step forward and said: "The adults said that I am a Qincha. What is Qincha, that is, the incarnation of the emperor, and the right to act cheaply, killing an official of one or two grades can also be cut first and then played. If the adults don't agree, it will be Song Tan's peace covenant with ill intentions, and I would rather die than surrender. ”
"......" Ouyang still didn't speak, he was thinking about all kinds of possibilities. If he really agreed, no one would dare to secretly do something to Li Qianshun, otherwise he would become a substitute for the dead. It is even more impossible to do it openly. If even Zhang Xuanming, the executioner, didn't dare to do it...... Do you want him to continue to live? Do you really give a state to be the king? Is it really giving him time to cultivate power?
In any case, Ouyang didn't want anyone from the Li nobles to live. Only when the superior steps down can they avoid the occurrence of *** because of their selfish interests. Of course, for the common people, the collapse of the Western Xia rulers and the change of Song masters did not make much difference in essence.
"Okay, I promise." Ouyang sneered: "It's just that Zhao Hu'er should be a gold medal for avoiding death, as the emperor's envoy, I am allowed to do this." ”
Wu Wei nodded and said, "As long as Your Majesty and Zhao Hu'er get married, my Great Xia will immediately give up the military power......
"You have to inch in, your next sentence will definitely say that in the past few months that Zhao Hu'er has not come, the Great Song Dynasty will take care of Xixia's food and housing, right? I can send someone right away, even if it's a plunder, to get Zhao Hu'er. But you must immediately disarm your military powers, and as for the supply of Your Majesty and the people around you, it is not short at all. ”
"......" Wu Wei asked after thinking for a while: "In case you break your word and get fat......"
"Please, Lao Tzu is a chincha. The so-called Qincha, everywhere he goes, he is like a gentleman in person. In this case, I wrote a warrant for the messenger to get someone quickly. But the ugly words are ahead, and if anyone wants to mess around, don't blame me for being rude. The soldiers here are worried that there is no chance to make meritorious contributions. ”
Wu Wei nodded: "Okay, now that the two countries are gathered here, I heard that the adults spoke like this, and the adults said that they were speaking on behalf of the king, Lord Ou, if you didn't do it, it would be to trap the king in injustice." With the future and wealth of Lord Ou as collateral, I naturally believe it. Besides, there are so many adults watching and listening here, even if the adults want to regret it, I'm afraid I can't help you, adults, right? ”
"In that case, can we talk about the details?"
Wu Wei reminded: "Your Majesty will only leave Xingqing Mansion after marriage. ”
"Good!"
In fact, there are no details, and basically everything that should have been said before has been said. Li Qianshun was very dissatisfied with Wu Wei's unauthorized decision-making. Wu Wei clearly pulled Li Qianshun aside and spoke: "Your Majesty, do you know who is the biggest enemy of Western Xia?" ”
"Isn't it Zhao Yu?"
"Wrong, sir. Even if it wasn't for Zhao Yu to be in power, their Emperor Taishang didn't fail to use force against Western Xia. And a big reason why the Western Xia army was defeated was because of this Ouyang. Gunpowder was invented by him, and Han Shizhong and Liu Qi were personally selected by him. The incitement of hatred against Western Xia was the work of the royal newspaper it sponsored, and so on. Wu Wei asked again: "Your Majesty, do you know who died in the Great Song Dynasty, and can you make the Great Song Dynasty unstable?" ”
“?” Li Qianshun was about to talk about Zhao Yu again, but looking at Wu Wei's shyness and asked, "Is it this Ouyang again?" ”
"Your Majesty is wise. Your Majesty also knows that Song beat me in Western Xia, conquered Black Khan, sent troops to Yuzhou, and now wants to swallow Liao and destroy Jin, why? Why is Zhao Yu so bold? The answer is very simple, that is, Song is rich, rich and food-oriented. Now the Song court is divided into two factions, on the one hand, the faction that values commerce and light taxes, strengthens the people and enriches the country, which is supported by new officials, and on the other hand, the old Confucian faction loyal to the monarch. This is Zhao Yu's trick of weighing the emperor in the imperial court. Now that the new officials are weak, but they can speak boldly in the court, in addition to having money as a backing, Ouyang is also a big key to being their behind-the-scenes supporter. If Ouyang dies or falls, the court and the various interest factions of the people will inevitably begin to compete from dark to light, and finally the new faction will not be able to resist the strength of the old faction. ”
Li Qianshun asked in surprise: "Ouyang will die?" ”
Wu Wei sneered: "Naturally, as long as a peace treaty is signed, Ouyang will die." ”
Li Qianshun asked: "Why do you say that?" ”
Wu Wei said: "Your Majesty, if Ouyang Jiao and His Majesty marry, the Emperor Taishang will not let him go, as long as the Emperor Taishang tells the ancestors to cry, with the prestige of the entire royal family, even if Zhao Yu wants to protect it, he doesn't dare to protect it, otherwise Zhao Yu will have to think about how to explain to the royal family: Why can a scholar decide the fate of a princess without passing the emperor?" Where is the emperor located? ”
"What if he tells Zhao Yu first to ask for permission?"
"It's useless, Zhao Yu's position is not right, and he thinks that he is better than Han Wu and Ren is better than Tang Zong, how dare he kill the Emperor Taishang. She will never agree, but the peace agreement has been signed, who will carry this disgraced black cauldron? Is it Ouyang or Zhao Yu? ”
