This boy, who is not yet fifteen years old, gives him the feeling of calmness and sophistication that does not belong to his age.

Not only that, this person seems to be able to see through his own thoughts, and see through the reality of Da Liao's current reality.

When the two talked that day, he was at a disadvantage almost everywhere, and he was shocked and didn't know how many times, and finally had to leave the scene early.

And after that day, there was a version of the conversation between the two, although it was a bit exaggerated, but it was not very different in general.

At first, Liu Liufu didn't care when he heard this, thinking that it was just Su Shi wanting some face.

But now that I think about it, it's completely wrong, this is clearly building momentum, thinking far-reaching, he wants to tell all the Song people through this matter that they Liao people are not terrible.

If the Song people are really not afraid of the Liao people in the future, will there really be a big war between the Liao and Song dynasties? If there is a real fight, not to mention the loss of money and labor, what can you gain?

Wasn't it Western Xia that would benefit in the end? Speaking of which, Liu Liufu's fear of Western Xia was far greater than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

Not for anything else, just because the Western Xia was warlike, far from being comparable to the peace-loving Great Song Dynasty. If he had to watch one side rise, he would rather be the latter.

"No, you can eat it like this, but Su Shi can't stay." Liu Liufu suddenly had a feeling of some danger.

Anyway, the Song people also agreed to pay tribute and burn knives, although the number was far less than as he had imagined before, but at least he bowed his head, so that he could also pay the difference after returning to China.

Su Shi must not stay, this person is not only unfriendly to the Liao State and does not care, but more importantly, his existence will greatly affect the balance between the Liao State and the Song State in the future.

If nothing else, just the things he brought would make the Great Song Dynasty richer and stronger. In order to solve the problem once and for all, Liu Liufu decided to kill Su Shi.

In addition to this person, it is equivalent to removing a disaster for Daliao. As for whether the Song people will blame Da Liao in the future, hehe, everyone has been killed, what else?

Could it be that for the sake of a small six-rank scattered official, will the Great Song Dynasty still fail to wage war against the Great Liao? If that's the case, I'm afraid that those civil officials in the court will be the first to refuse.

What they like most is that the world is peaceful, even if it's only on the surface. As for wars, they have always avoided them if they can, even if they lose some money, they will agree, and the money is not theirs anyway.

With an idea in his heart, Liu Liufu decided to leave Bianliang City. If you don't take the first step, once the matter of killing Su Shi is exposed, it will be a lot more difficult to leave at that time.

In this way, in the afternoon of the same day, Jiang Gu received a reply from Liu Liufu, indicating that he had approved the new agreement, and that he was thinking about the New Year, and that he had been out for a long time, so he should go back.

Jiang Gu, who received the news, was a little incredulous at first, and after reading the reply three times in a row, and after confirming that everything was true, he went straight to the palace with a happy face.

In the Zichen Palace, Zhao Zhen met with Jiang Gu, and also saw Liu Liufu's reply, he was overjoyed at the moment, thinking in his heart, is it really like Su, and now Da Liao is also a foreign powerhouse, and they don't want to start a war?

"Okay, you go to see Liu Liufu, feast him, and wish him a safe journey on the way back." Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Zhao Zhen instructed Jiang Gu and sent him away first.

With no one else around, he paced back and forth with some excitement. This time under the deliberate temptation, the result was obviously very good, which made him see for the first time that the original Great Liao was not so terrible, and it turned out that they were also not sure of winning the war.

If that's the case, then isn't it okay to think about the matter of seizing the sixteen states of Yanyun? This northern barrier is not in the hand, so that the iron cavalry of the Great Liao can threaten the Central Plains at any time, and if it is taken here, the northern land of the Great Song Dynasty will become safer, and there is no need to worry about living in Bianliang City in the future, one day the enemy will suddenly come to the city.

Zhao Zhen, who was in a good mood for a while, even wanted to invite the important ministers of the DPRK to discuss this matter now.

But when he thought of the ministers, his heart, which was originally a little restless, immediately became much colder. has been the emperor for so many years, and Zhao Zhen knows very well what kind of people the courtiers below are.

If you let them talk about beautiful articles and take a pen to paint Danqing, there is no problem.

Even if it is for the officials and to educate the people, they have their own falls. But when it comes to fighting with the Liao, he is cowardly before he fights.

Perhaps it was because they had lost too much that they were accustomed to losing money in advance, and only when they lost money to no avail, they chose to send troops in desperation, and most of them were still fighting defensive battles.

Now, with Liu Liufu's momentary performance, I want to persuade them to agree to send troops. I want to show whether the Liao people are cowardly, or they can't do it.

"Well, let's take a look first. After the New Year, the new policy will be implemented, and when the new policy is implemented and the country is strong and the people are rich, you can think about going north to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. "Thinking that he could recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Zhen's heart couldn't calm down, this is something that the successive emperors of the Great Song Dynasty have always wanted to do but couldn't do.

What kind of achievement would it be if it could be done by oneself? I think I could wake up laughing when I was really sleeping.

...... Imperial Palace, the main hall of Yeonfu Palace. Completely different from Zhao Zhen's somewhat excited mood, Queen Cao sat on the phoenix chair, looking a little unpleasant.

Just now, the palace maid came to report that Zhao Xi, the king of Jing, had sent smokeless charcoal to Zhu Meiren, and the amount was as much as that of her, the queen.

After Su Shi sent the smokeless charcoal to the palace, he divided it into two parts. One was given to the official Zhao Zhen, and one was given to Zhao Xi, the king of Jing.

This is equivalent to the filial piety of the courtiers, and the filial piety is the emperor and the only prince. No one can find anything wrong, even if Empress Cao is in charge of the Sixth Palace, it stands to reason that this is what she should worry about, but she can't say anything if she doesn't receive smokeless charcoal.

Although she did not have the control of anthracite, Empress Cao was not very angry. The income of the pretty lady rouge shop is very large, and it has brought her a lot of money, which is already Su Shi's filial piety.

She has to learn to be content. Besides, after smokeless charcoal entered the palace, Zhao Xi sent her a lot, enough for her use, what else was she dissatisfied with?

It's just that just now, when she heard that Zhao Xi also sent smokeless charcoal to her biological mother Zhu Meiren, and there were still the same number of cases, her mood was immediately unhappy.

This is the most beloved toy is taken away by someone else, how do you make her happy? Although Zhao Xi was not her own child, she also did not regard Zhao Xi as her own child, but after learning about Zhao Xi's actions, she was still unhappy.

Empress Cao's dissatisfaction was written on her face, and after the handmaid Gao Tao on the side saw it, her heart moved.

Before, Su Shi beat the housekeeper of Dazong Zheng Zhao Yunrang, and he was strict. For this matter, he had entered the palace several times to say bad things about Su Shi, and wanted to ask Empress Cao to clean up Tong Zhilang.

Considering that cooperating with Su Shi can bring a lot of silver income, and Su Shi is also very respectful to Empress Cao, she naturally will not agree.

The front is not good, Zhao Yunrang thought of a side detour, and then found the handmaid Gao Taotao, so that she had the opportunity to help deliver a few words, and it was okay to clean up Su Shi, and Zhao Xi could also.

and promised that Zhao Zongshi, an honest child, would never forget her. Speaking of which, Zhao Zongshi and Gao Taotao know each other, and they are still childhood playmates, and the relationship is really good.

In history, after Zhao Zongshi ascended the throne, Gao Taotao did become his queen of the main palace. Staying by Queen Cao's side every day, Gao Taotao was very envious of her aunt's harem, saying that she had the same momentum, and she also dreamed that one day she could walk on this phoenix throne.

Obviously, it is impossible to rely on Zhao Xi, the two are too different, not to mention, and they don't have any emotional foundation.

So Zhao Yunrang's promise made Gao Tao's heart flutter for a while. Now seeing that Empress Cao seemed to be a little angry, she felt that the opportunity had come, and she said as if unintentionally,

"Aunt, the share is the same, it seems that His Royal Highness King Jing has compared Zhu Meiren with you. And if one day he ascends to the throne, I'm afraid that he will completely hold up his biological mother, then can't he crush you? ”

"That's enough." When Empress Cao heard this, she suddenly reprimanded and interrupted Gao Tao's next words.

Empress Cao was angry, and Gao Taotao on the side hurriedly lowered her head, but in fact, she was not afraid in her heart.

She knew her aunt too well, a woman with a strong desire for power, even stronger than her care and love for Renzong.

Let's put it this way, if Renzong and Power must choose one, Empress Cao will definitely choose the latter.

How could such a person allow others to challenge her authority? Over the years, the entire harem has been under the control of Queen Cao.

Among them, I don't know how many favored concubines died unconsciously, and whose means are all this Gao Tao couldn't be clearer.

Several times she did it herself. In Empress Cao's words, the existence of these people affects the body and daily rest of the official family, and such people should not live.

Now, the existence of Zhu Mei has affected her authority, so should such a person still live?

As long as Zhu Meiren died, Zhao Xi knew that this matter was done by Queen Cao, and the two of them would never die.

At that time, my aunt will have only one way to choose, that is, to take down Zhao Xi, the king of Jing, and push Zhao Zongshi to the throne, so as to prevent future troubles.

Gao Taotao will not say anything about dealing with King Jing in front of Queen Cao, this is a big rebellion, and her aunt's face can't be hung up, and she will also see her own ambitions, which is a very unfavorable thing.

But if you can deal with Zhu Meiren, wouldn't it be equivalent to dealing with King Jing again? The principle is the same, but when the situation changes, it can become much more acceptable.

Empress Cao, who had scolded Gao Gao, did not speak again, but obviously judging from the anger in her eyes from time to time, she was still angry.

Empress Cao was angry, and the consequences were serious.
