661: The Thrifty Queen Mother

The Liao State has regarded the Song people as a generation of local chickens and dogs since the alliance of the Yuanyuan, how can they tolerate this humiliation!

Li Ke frowned and said, "With the domineering nature of the Liao people, will they endure it?" ”

"If you can't bear it, you have to endure it."

"Why?"

Zong Sheng looked at him, "Are you sure you want to know?" ”

Li Ke hesitated, "Yes, please advise." ”

Zong Sheng sighed: "The Liao people are waiting for the Queen Mother...... Moreover, although my Great Song Dynasty is the time when the old and the new are changing, why not the Liao people? That Liao Emperor...... Yelu Longxu's body is not necessarily much better than that of the Queen Mother, maybe he will ...... faster"

Belch!

Li Ke regretted it, can he speculate on the life and death of those in power?

He said helplessly: "The Queen Mother is a thousand years old!" ”

Zhi Jimin said in a deep voice: "But is it a mourning soldier? ”

Zong Sheng nodded and said, "Even if the Liao people want to do it, they will not choose it at this time." At this time, the Queen Mother was sick, and the soldiers and people of the Great Song Dynasty were united and their momentum was like a rainbow...... If they really want to do it, they will only choose a new ...... At that time. ”

The young emperor had just come to power......

Zhao Zhen must be inexperienced, this is the best time.

Li Ke covered his forehead and said: "Why is the brain of a scholar so easy to use? ”

Zong Sheng looked at the other side and said with a sigh: "A certain person was in Bianliang back then, and he only knew how to follow the crowd and pretend to be a grandson, and he played some power tricks every day...... The Tangut people also pretended to be grandsons when they came, and they felt that they were grandsons at that time...... Until he met Lord Qin, watched him drive the Liao envoy crazy, and watched him force the Tangut people back to the embassy...... At that time, a certain person knew that it was useless to deal with foreign races. ”

Zhi Jimin nodded and said: "Yes, aliens are like this, the more you are afraid of him, the more proud and powerful he is." ”

Zong Sheng sighed: "But no one believes it! Do you believe what you say? ”

Zhi Jimin shook his head: "Those people don't believe us. ”

"No, they're worried." Zong Sheng said: "They don't dare to speculate on the enemy, so they are soft. ”

Zhi Jimin and Li Ke only smiled bitterly at this, as martial artists, there was no room for them to speak in this matter, so they could only watch Da Song pretending to be his grandson.

Li Ke asked, "Shen ...... Lord Qin is really that powerful? ”

When he came to the Baode Army, the Battle of Fuzhou had already ended, so he just listened to it.

Zong Sheng frowned and said: "Hedong Road has been peaceful for so many years, and it has been slack. ”

He shook his head, then turned his hands to see the results.

Li Ke was stunned, so he asked Zhi Jimin: "What does this mean?" ”

Zhi Jimin said: "Many things have not been reported, for example, Qin Wei killed more than 500 elites of the Liao people in the first battle of Hejian Mansion, and also built the Jingguan. ”

Li Ke's eyes widened, "Can't ......"

Zhi Jimin sneered: "Will you lie? ”

You can't lie about this kind of thing, and you don't dare to lie.

Li Ke shuddered for a moment, "Then Lord Shen Qin can still kill the enemy?" ”

This was the first time he had crossed the river, and it was also the first time he had dealt with Zhe Jimin.

Big guy, don't lie to me!

Zhi Jimin smiled: "In the battle of Fuzhou, he personally rushed into battle, most of you think that a certain person is boasting about his merits, but the battle of Hejian Mansion and the battle of Jiaozhi, which time he didn't rush to the front?" When he started a war with the Jiaozhi people, he rushed into battle under the noses of Wang Yaochen and tens of thousands of people, who could fake? ”

Li Ke was stunned, "I haven't rushed through the battle, I haven't killed the enemy, I always think that civil officials will tremble when they see human blood, but that Lord Qin is so fierce, but XX is convinced." ”

Then it was a matter of waiting, Zhi Jimin asked people to cut off all the ears of those corpses, called a fast horse to take it into Beijing to report the news, the messenger changed horses without changing people, and marched towards Bianliang at high speed.

When the two messengers appeared under the city of Bianliang, the trees in Bianliang were dyed with tender green, and spring was full of joy.

They went into the Privy Council with sacks, Menzi asked; "Where did it come from?"

"Fuzhou."

When Menzi saw them carrying two sacks, he asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Victory."

Menzi was bluffed, and hurried in to tell them, and someone took them in later.

When Pang Ji saw that they were still carrying sacks, he asked, "Zhe Jimin is at war with the Western Xia people again?" ”

The messenger said: "Tell the minister, it is a Liao person. They suddenly appeared under the city of Fuzhou by boat, and our army attacked and repelled them. ”

When he talked about the Liao people, Pang Ji changed color, and when he heard the repulsion, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "How many Liao troops are coming?" ”

"More than five hundred, on more than ten ships."

"How did Zhe Jimin scare them away?"

"Xianggong, it's not to scare away, it's ...... Defeated them, with a crossbow array...... Kill more than 100 enemies. ”

Pang Ji opened his mouth, "This...... This...... Killed the Liao? ”

The two messengers came all the way, and at this moment they were tired and wanted to die, and when they heard the words, they thought that Pang Ji did not believe it, so they opened the sack, and a fishy smell came out.

Grab the bottom of the bag and pour it down...... More than a hundred ears were dumped in the lobby, and these ears could see signs of decay, and the smell of fish was disgusting.

A little official covered his mouth and endured it a few times, but finally couldn't help it and ran out.

"Vomit ......"

The smell of rotting fish spread in the lobby, Pang Ji held his breath, and then shouted, "Take it." ”

The two messengers said at a loss: "Xianggong, it was originally pickled, this ...... It was supposed to be the road that got wet in the rain and then rotted. ”

A picture appeared in everyone's minds......

The rain was pouring down, and the two horses galloped in the rain, and the sacks on their horses' backs were wet with the rain.

The ears inside are rotten and stench......

"Gross!"

Later, Pang Ji appeared in the political hall.

"What?"

The Zaisukes were also dumbfounded.

Lu Yijian said: "Why did Zhe Jimin do it? ”

Wang Yaochen muttered: "Isn't it that the Liao army was provoking at that time? If so, they should be expelled. ”

Wang Zhen nodded and said: "If you come across the border, if you dare to provoke, it's okay to be killed, but what will happen to the Liao people?" They have suffered such a big loss, and they will never give up. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and Lu Yijian said: "Zhe Jimin actually dared to kill the Liao people, this matter is ...... What is the sign? ”

Pang Ji said: "Martial arts? However, this matter has little to do with whether the warriors are domineering or not, and they can't stand and be beaten at the moment of the great enemy......"

There was silence in the political hall for a moment, and Wang Yaochen said: "This is a big deal, is it going to Your Majesty......"

Lu Yijian shook his head and said: "The Queen Mother's health is not very good, Your Majesty will definitely go back to ask the Queen Mother for instructions on this matter, in case the Queen Mother wants to calm things down, those martial artists in Fuzhou will be unlucky......"

I don't know when the Zaisuke began to change slowly.

The Zaifu, who have never regarded the martial artists as human beings, have even begun to care about the martial artists, and this change may not be visible in a short period of time, but they can look back and ...... Da Song is changing!

"Let Qin Wei ask."

Asking Qin Wei if he was undecided in foreign affairs was the habit of the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty.

Later, Qin Wei came, and as soon as he heard this, he said happily: "Good thing! The Liao people are not a day or two, if you don't smoke them a few times, they still treat me as no one in the Song Dynasty......"

"A good thing?"

Pang Ji said: "Zhe Jimin killed more than 100 Liao troops, what should I do when the Liao people ask for guilt?" ”

Qin Wei said calmly: "On the Liao side, Yelu Longxu has long been out of business, and now it is Empress Xiao and the crown prince Yelu Zong Zhenjian ...... I'm afraid that Yelu Zongzhen is preparing to deal with his uncle at this moment......"

"What do you mean?"

The eyes of the Zai Fu lit up, and Lu Yijian asked, "But when did you trap him last time?" ”

Qin Wei nodded, and Lu Yijian shouted: "Go, let Ye Shuangchou come, just say that there is something urgent to ask." ”

Ye Shuangchou is His Majesty's person, and he can't drink back and forth, let alone socialize privately.

Wang Yaochen squinted slightly, breathed a little heavier, and asked, "Can you ensure that Xiao Xiaomu is rebelling?" The stakes are too great to be frivolous......"

Lu Yijian looked over and frowned slightly when he saw Qin Wei's calm expression.

"Yes."

Lu Yijian's brows relaxed, "Don't talk about it." ”

Qin Wei looked at him and said with a smile: "I dug this big pit in Hejian Mansion, not just for a Xiao Xiaomu, and besides...... Does Lu Xiang know what risk he took for this? ”

Lu Yijian shook his head, Qin Wei didn't say anything about this.

"At that time, in order to lure the secret spies of the Liao people to assassinate, a certain person used himself as bait, and they really came, poured fire oil outside the house, and then lit the fire......

Qin Wei said calmly: "If it was slow for a moment at that time, a certain person would probably be burned inside...... If he wasn't sure, how could he joke with his own life? So...... If Yelu Longxu was still alive, Xiao Xiaomu would definitely not dare to rebel, but what if Yelu Longxu was about to die? ”

He smiled and said, "After the young Yelu Zongzhen ascends the throne, may he suppress this uncle who leans towards the government and the opposition?" If Yelu Longxu doesn't want the imperial power to fall, he will definitely find a way to check and balance the temptation, and Xiao Xiaomu has been in power for many years, how can he let others slaughter him? …… Qin put his words here, if Xiao Xiaomu didn't rebel, then he would sneak into the Liao Kingdom and kill him. ”

Lu Yijian was silent, and Wang Yaochen said fearfully: "Why are you so risky? Fire and water are ruthless, if you are ...... Song Liao has been peaceful for many years, there is no need for this! ”

Qin Wei said with a smile: "Who is the biggest threat to the Great Song Dynasty?" Liao people! As long as I can weaken them a little, I am always willing to do it. Those spies are born and die, and some are just taking risks, and it's worth it. ”

Wang Zhen sighed: "I sit in Bianliang City like a wood-carved statue, but I don't know that the frontier is still fighting, and I am ashamed." ”

Later, Ye Shuangchou came, and Lu Yijian asked, "How is Xiao Xiaomu?" ”

The Imperial City Division has secret spies lurking in Liao, and often sends news back.

Ye Shuangchou didn't expect him to ask this, but the news of the Liao State has always been the focus of his attention, so he didn't hesitate, and said: "Last time, Qin Wei got a handful in Hejian Mansion, and the secret spy who escaped by luck brought back the news of the collusion between Xiao Xiaomu, the prime minister of Beifu, and the Great Song Dynasty......"

"Really?"

The corners of Lu Yijian's mouth twitched with the naked eye.

If this happens, then Yelu Longxu may be suspicious of Xiao Xiaomu because of this, so as to ......

At that time, there will be great chaos in the Liao State.

What a good thing!

Ye Shuangchou didn't explain, but continued: "It's just that the scout was taken away by Xiao Xiaomu's people before he entered the palace, and they tampered with the news in private......"

"Tampering with messages?"

Now not only the Zai Fu, but Qin Wei is not calm.

After the Northern Expeditionary Army Cong Liao came back, the news of Liao was broken, after all, he was only a four-grade undertaker, if he privately inquired about the news of Liao, without Zhao Zhen's action, the Zai Fu could chop him.

So he didn't know that so many changes had taken place in the follow-up.

Ye Shuangchou nodded and said, "After Xiao Xiaomu learned about this, he knew that he couldn't hide it, so he asked the scout to change his confession, saying that this matter was related to the second prince Yelu Chongyuan...... When Yelu Longxu learned of this, he dismissed it as false news and ignored it...... But Xiao Xiaomu became more and more cautious, and so did Yelu Longxu...... And ......"

Pang Ji urged: "What else? ”

Ye Shuangchou glanced at Qin Wei deeply, and said lightly: "Yelu Chongyuan, the second prince of Liao, seems to have colluded with Xiao Xiaomu for a long time, trying to replace Yelu Zongzhen to succeed the crown prince......"

Yelu Chongyuan!

The Zai Fu were a little confused, but Qin Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.

I almost forgot about it.

In history, Yelu Chongyuan almost became an emperor, but unfortunately the eldest brother was skilled, and his emperors eventually came to naught.

Now he's shot again.

This scene is getting better and better!

Lu Yijian glanced at Qin Wei, suddenly gave up his hand, and said seriously: "If Yelu Chongyuan and Xiao Xiaomu really rebelled, the old man would like to thank you." Thank you for the sake of Da Song. ”

Wang Yaochen said: "Once Yelu Chongyuan plots against him, no matter whether he wins or loses, the Liao people will be weakened, and the Great Song Dynasty will be more stable, and the merit will be great." ”

The biggest opponent of the Great Song Dynasty is the Liao people, as long as this opponent is ugly or weakened, it will be great news for the Great Song Dynasty and these Zaifu, and even the sworn enemy Lu Yijian will inevitably show joy.

Later, everyone went to the Funing Hall together.

In the West Pavilion, Liu E was lying on the bed, looking at the roof with blazing eyes, and Zhao Zhen was sitting next to her with a somewhat stunned expression, I don't know what the mother and son had just talked about.

The atmosphere is somewhat dry......

“…… The Western Xia people failed in a sneak attack in Qinzhou, and the instigation of the Liao people failed, so they started in person, and Zong Sheng attacked the main force, so the crossbow array was powerful, and the Liao army suffered more than 100 casualties......"

Liu E's breathing was a little short, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "Let them come in." ”

Zhao Zhen also hurriedly shouted outside: "Xu Maoze, let the Zai Fu come in!" ”

For him, the Liao State is the great enemy, representing humiliation, and the annual New Year's coin is more of a reminder to the Great Song Dynasty, reminding Zhao Zhen that the Great Song Dynasty is a peace bought with money.

He is Renjun, but Renjun does not mean that he has no anger.

His anger can be vented at the Jiaozhi people, and he can vent at the Xixia people, but he can't and dare not vent at the Liao people.

He was a little excited, Qin Wei followed behind with low eyebrows, and was a little surprised when he saw the layout when he went in.

Most of the things in the dormitory are old, only the quilts are new, and the others look ...... It's all old stuff! It looks like it hasn't been replaced for a long time.

This is Liu E, who almost became the empress back then?

Qin Wei bowed his head slightly, moved in his heart.

Confucianism advocates prudence and independence, and the ministers chatter endlessly on weekdays to be thrifty, but in private their salaries are generous, not to mention how comfortable their lives are, and they have nothing to do with thrift.
