Chapter 965

Zhao Xu, the Son of Heaven, discussed with Gao Tao for a long time, and felt that it would be inappropriate for Su Dongpo's teacher to return to Beijing if he lived under others again, but Liu Zhi had been working hard for several years, and he couldn't pull Liu Zhi down because he wanted to accept Su Dongpo.

In this way, it will also hurt the loyalty of the courtiers. What to do, this is a very difficult question, placed in front of the pair of grandchildren.

"Why don't you find that Liu Zhi to have a good talk?" After thinking about it for a long time, Zhao Xu wanted to come forward in person.

"It's not appropriate, if you do this, if it spreads, it will be easy to cause disputes, and it will also damage the prestige of the official family......" Gao Tao directly rejected his idea without waiting for Zhao Xu to continue.

"Liu Qing's family shouldn't be like this, right?" Zhao Xu retorted with some uncertainty.

"Official, don't forget, that Zhu Guangting and Liu Zhi are close friends, and Zhu Guangting's matter, if it is in the eyes of everyone in the court, it feels like it is just ordinary.

However, in order to appease the civil and military forces of Shaanxi Road, this has caused a rift between the court and the civil and military forces of Shaanxi Road, if you deal with Liu Zhi for this matter again......"

Gao Taotao said this, and did not continue, but the meaning was already very clear, and Zhao Xu had to nod and admit that Gao Taotao was far-sighted.

"That's it, then let's take a step at a time, Master Su has already played, now that the war has just ended, everything is undecided, and the newly occupied states have just experienced the war, it is the opportunity to step up government affairs, so I hope to postpone returning to Beijing. This also gives the grandson time to think about it. ”

"Well, that's very good." The Empress Dowager nodded approvingly. Things don't need to be too urgent, they must be done slowly.

Just when the leaves were falling in late autumn and the cold wind was gradually steepening, Zhu Guangting, who was covered in wind and frost, finally returned to Tokyo Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty.

Knowing that the old friend had successfully completed the task and returned to Beijing, a group of old party bigwigs rushed to Zhu's mansion to pick up the wind for this colleague.

It's just that between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, everyone thinks that Zhu Guangting looks so depressed.

"Brother Guangting, you have obviously made a great contribution and returned, why do you look like this, as if you failed to sign a peace treaty with Western Xia?"

"Where, it's just this trip to the northwest borderland, running back and forth and toiling, but it tosses my old bones enough." Zhu Guangting explained with a forced smile helplessly.

"That's right, it's because I'm too anxious, Lord Zhu has just entered Beijing, and I can't wait to come and bother, no wonder Lord Zhu's face is not good-looking......"

The tone of the people was relaxed and laughing, and the atmosphere was once again warm. And Liu Zhi, who was sitting on the other side of the river with Zhu Guangting, saw the clues.

"Guangting, are you still worried about the Shaanxi Road? Don't worry, Your Majesty must be on top of the fire, and the twists and turns of the impeachment of the civil and military forces on the Shaanxi Road are like snowflakes, and Your Majesty can't help but be annoyed and angry. ”

"And this time, after all, it is my great victory now, and you have some behavior, which is really inappropriate." Liu Zhi and Zhu Guangting have known each other for decades, so they naturally know very well what kind of person Zhu Guangting is.

And with the friendship between the two, there is naturally no need to be so hypocritical and polite when talking.

"I also know about this, alas, but His Majesty's reaction is really too disappointing to the old man."

Hearing this, Liu Zhi couldn't help but be stunned. "Guangting, what do you mean by that?"

Zhu Guangting glanced at the old party bosses who were drinking and eating meat in front of him, but when he thought of the advice of the eunuch who came to deliver the decree, and when he thought of the sharp eyes of the Son of Heaven who was becoming more and more mature and decisive, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

This Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is neither Emperor Renzong nor Emperor Yingzong, and his will is definitely not inferior to that of Shenzong back then, and even surpasses it.

If he goes against his will and publicizes this news in a big way, I am afraid that the end in the future will be even more miserable than that of self-invited.

"There are some things that are really inconvenient to tell others." However, Liu Zhi, an old friend who has been in charge of the Great Song Dynasty for several years, is an extremely reliable person, and his tone is so tight, it doesn't hurt to spit out with him.

After Liu Zhi heard this, he understood and did not continue to ask, but continued to drink and eat meat with a group of old party bigwigs, talking and laughing.

After the end of the song and many officials resigned one by one, Liu Zhi did not leave, but stayed. The two came to Zhu Guangting's study together.

At this time, Zhu Guangting told the truth, and heard that Zhu Guangting had received a secret decree from His Majesty, ordering him to take the initiative to return to Beijing to finish his envoy work.

Otherwise, Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, would strictly order a thorough investigation of Zhu Guangting's acceptance of hundreds of thousands of bribes from the Western Xia envoy Gu Leguang during his stay on the Shaanxi Road, and secretly made a verbal covenant with the Western Xia envoy, willing to lift the siege of Shizhou for the Western Xia people.

He also assured the Western Xia envoy Gu Leguang that the release of Western Xia prisoners of war would also be included in the peace talks between the two countries.

Hearing this, Liu Zhi couldn't help but gasp, and his gaze at Zhu Guangting also changed. "Guangting, you, how can you agree to these conditions?!"

"This is just a measure of rights and interests, and it is still strange that he was dazzled by money, thought to himself, and quietly agreed, but when it came to the peace talks, he would find a way to hand over these conditions to the court.

As long as His Majesty does not nod, these conditions will naturally be invalidated, and in this way, Zhu can easily take himself out. ”

"But who would have thought that Wang Yang and Wang Wushan were so despicable, and they actually relied on His Majesty's favor to take away the right to negotiate from the old man, and the result was ......" Speaking of this, Zhu Guangting gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh.

As a result, the old man's words to the envoys of Naxixia and the false snake were known to him, which caused His Majesty to be thunderous and angry, alas...... Speaking of which, Wang Yang's bastard is really the old man's nemesis. ”

"Alas...... The old man doesn't know what to say, if this matter really spreads, not only will you lose your reputation, but also those new parties who have now put their hands into the court will inevitably seize this handle and attack us. ”

"At that time, our Majesty, who seems to be fair, but in fact has his own calculations in his heart, I don't know what will happen, at least, my old party will be greatly involved in this matter.

At that time, let alone the right to speak in charge of the court, I am afraid that even many important positions will fall into the hands of the new party. Guangting, Guangting, you are really careless. Liu Zhi couldn't help but slapped the table and said angrily.

At this moment, his heart was full of indignation, and he was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother. If it weren't for the fact that I saw the friendship between this old friend and myself for decades, I really wanted to take a big ear bracket and spit a few mouthfuls of spittle Xingzi to relieve the hatred in my heart.
