The Song Dynasty, which was already crumbling, seemed to have taken a turn for the better after the arrival of Li Qi, but this was just an attic in the air. (Baidu Search Literature Museum xguanom)

A small envoy can be like this, if it is really thousands of troops coming, the scene is simply unimaginable.

Under the pressure, there will be cowards!

From this one thing, Li Qi completely saw through the weakness and incompetence of the Song Dynasty, there is this kind of monarch, there are such courtiers, if this does not perish, it is really unreasonable.

If it were Li Qi, he might be even more resolute than Wanyan Zongwang.

When those jumping clowns finished performing, Song Huizong said a lot to the air again, thinking that he had saved face, but he didn't know that by doing this, it would only make people look down on him as an emperor even more.

After the end of the early dynasty, Song Huizong summoned a group of important ministers to the Chongzheng Palace.

"Haha, Richie, you are really my lucky general! Thanks to you, this time I was able to save the day. Song Huizong praised Li Qi when he opened his mouth.

Fall on one's feet? You can't even understand the situation, it's really hopeless. Li Qi lamented in his heart, but said: "The emperor has won the award, this is the duty of the minister, and he does not dare to ask for credit." ”

Song Huizong said: "You don't need to be humble, you have made great contributions to this matter, and you should be rewarded." ”

Li Qi bowed slightly: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Cai You glanced at Li Qi, his heart was full of jealousy, and he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to Wei Chen's opinion, this matter is by no means groundless, the Jin State suddenly sent envoys here to make a big fuss, maybe they have already moved the idea of sending troops to invade our Great Song Dynasty, we should take precautions as soon as possible." ”

Li Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and he only felt funny in his heart, this is really a fool's thousand thoughts. There will be one.

If you want to play tricks, then Cai Youke is also a good hand, and he noticed a trace of clues from the abnormality of the golden envoy this time.

When Song Huizong heard this, he couldn't help but stir, and his eyes showed fear.

Li Bangyan said: "The privy envoy is a little unfounded, I see that the Jin State is nothing more than a repetition of the old tricks, and wants to ask for some money from our Great Song Dynasty, if they are ready to send troops to attack, then how can they retreat because of the economic envoy's remarks." In addition, why did he send troops to invade my Great Song Dynasty, so this is absolutely impossible. ”

"Well, what Shimei said makes a lot of sense."

Song Huizong is an idealist, he is never willing to face the facts, he always likes to think about the good side, but this matter is related to the fortune of the country, he still feels a little empty when he thinks about it. He asked Li Qi again, "Li Qi, what do you think?" ”

Li Qiwei groaned and said, "Back to the emperor, Weichen is still young after all. For such a major event, Weichen did not dare to speak falsely, but Weichen was more inclined to the statement of the left minister. ”

Zhao Huan also stood up and seconded: "Erchen also agrees with Zuo Xiang's words. ”

This matter is so big, he Honglu Temple is duty-bound. Of course, he wanted to settle things down sooner.

When Song Huizong heard this, he completely let go of his heart, and a smile appeared on his face. Nodding.

Cai You knew Song Huizong's character very well, and knew that if he continued to talk about it, he would only make Song Huizong unhappy, so he could only give up.

Li Bangyan saw Cai You's depressed face, and he was very proud in his heart, and continued: "Your Majesty, the top priority is how to ask Jin Guo to return to Yunzhou. ”

Song Huizong nodded again and again when he heard this, and said, "Not bad, not bad." After a pause, he added, "However, Jin Guo has asked too much. Three million taels of silver, it's okay to say, but where did I get the 200,000 taels of military rations? ”

Taking money to buy people, cities, and dignity has become a habitual thinking of the Great Song Emperor, and in their opinion, if a problem can be solved with money, it is not a problem, so Song Huizong didn't think about anything else at all, and only wanted to sell Yunzhou with money.

No way. You can take this seriously, Lao Tzu dares to guarantee with a human head that once your 200,000 grains are delivered to the hands of the Jin people, within three days, the Jin country will definitely send troops, and people can't be stupid to such a point!

Li Qi was really afraid that Song Huizong would adopt another tax increase system and let the people pay the bill, so he hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that this is just a tentative price, and there is still room for discussion. ”

Song Huizong sighed and said, "What do you think?" ”

Li Qi flickered: "This negotiation is no different from talking about business, generally when talking about business, both parties will offer a higher price, leaving room for themselves, depending on who says their bottom line first." The same is true of Jin Guo's move, so this price must be too high, we must not agree to it, now it is more than patience, anyway, we will not fight for this overnight. ”

Song Huizong stroked his beard, nodded and said, "Yes, the matter has come to this point, and it should be considered in the long run." Richie, this matter is up to you, you should prepare well. ”

"Wechen takes orders."

Li Qi happily accepted it, because there was no need for any preparation at all, and Wanyan Zongwang was already ready to go, and he only owed the east wind. He said again: "Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to tell. ”

Song Huizong said: "Say." ”

Li Qi said: "Here's the thing, the new law has been fully implemented in Jiangnan, and the revival of the entire Jiangnan is just around the corner, but the goods transported to Jiangnan are extremely inflated, and the transportation is somewhat unprepared, and the stagnation of goods is extremely unfavorable to Jiangnan. ”

Song Huizong, who had just survived a catastrophe, didn't even want to think about such a trivial matter, and said, "Quasi-play." I'll leave this matter to your Bureau of Commerce. ”

Cai You frowned when he heard this, since it was the dispatch of warships, it would definitely involve the army, which should be the responsibility of the Privy Council, but Li Qi used the new law to skip the Privy Council and directly face the emperor, which made him feel extremely unhappy, but now that Li Qi has just made a great achievement, he knows that standing up to remind Song Huizong at this time will only touch a nose of ashes.

Li Qi saluted: "Obey." ”

After leaving the main hall, Li Qi immediately rushed to the guard horse and found Niu Gao.

"The last general will see Bu Shuai."

"No courtesy."

Li Qi first called the guards on the side out, then walked to Niu Gao's side, took out two letters, and said in a deep voice: "You immediately send some absolutely trustworthy people to send these two letters to the Governor of Dengzhou and General Han Shizhong in Fuzhou for 800 miles. ”

"Yes."

Niu Gao hugged his fists.

Li Qi said: "Send more people." I not only want to be fast, but also to be absolutely safe, if there is a mistake in the road, you Niu Gao will chop off your head and throw it into the Bianhe River. ”

Niu Gao was stunned for a moment, but seeing Li Qi's solemn face, he knew that this matter was by no means a trivial matter, and he hugged his fists and said: "The last general will take the order." ”

"Go ahead."

"The last will be retired."

Li Qi did not stop too long in the barracks, and after telling the matter, he left. Out of the barracks. Li Qi went to a secluded place without stopping, and saw that a Taoist priest was already waiting there.

This person is none other than Nan Bowan.

"The villain sees Bu Shuai."

Li Qiyi raised his hand and said, "Has Jin Lou made any recent moves?" ”

Nan Bowan shook his head and said, "The villains didn't find anything unusual in the Golden Building. ”

Li Qi nodded, and said: "I asked you to come today, I have a task to give to you, you immediately send a hundred people to pretend to be merchants to the north of the Yellow River, I want every state capital to have our people." ”

There are tasks again, why are there so many tasks recently. Nan Bowan was stunned and asked curiously: "What are you going to do?" ”

Li Qi said: "You don't care about this first, I will send someone to inform you at that time." You must be quick, you must leave tomorrow at the latest, and as for the coiling and luggage, you have crossed the Yellow River. Naturally, someone will send it to you, so go ahead and arrange it now. ”

Although Nan Bowan had a lot of curiosity in his heart, he didn't dare to ask more, and nodded: "Yes." The villain will do it. ”

After Nan Bowan left. Li Qi and Ma Qiao returned to the city, and when they passed by the cake house, Li Qi suddenly said, "Ma Qiao." The last few days have exhausted you, now I will give you a half-day off, you go to accompany your junior sister, it won't be long before you are afraid you will not be so idle. ”

Before his words fell, he felt that Ma Qiao's stunned eyes had disappeared beside him, he shook his head with a smile, and went directly to the Qin Mansion.

"Your Excellency, you're back!"

It was Aunt Chen who opened the door.

Li Qi nodded with a smile and said, "What about that person?" ”

"Oh, the drunkard master is drinking in the stable."

"Stables?"

"Yes, this drunkard master is really strange, the old man persuaded him to go back to the house to drink, but he said that the house was too noisy, and he wanted to drink there."

Li Qi smiled and said, "Okay." I see, you go and rest. ”

After that, he went to the stable, and as soon as he came to the stable, he was stupid, and the picture was so beautiful that he really didn't dare to look at it! I saw an uncle in the stable, with fluffy hair and a full beard, lying on the fat calm donkey with his limbs spread out, and holding a wine jar in one hand, snoring like thunder.

No wonder he is alone, and he doesn't like humans! Alas, it's also pitiful, I really hope that calm donkey can replace the big worm and give him comfort. Li Qi rubbed his head and walked over, but instead of waking up the drunkard, he sat on the side of the crossbar and closed his eyes.

The calm donkey looked at Li Qi with aggrieved eyes, as if he didn't want to be ridden by this sloppy uncle.

The snoring was still there, but Li Qi was as steady as Mount Tai and unmoved.

After about half an hour, the snoring stopped abruptly, and a hoarse voice sounded immediately, "It seems that the matter of your coming to ask me this time is even stricter than the last time." ”

Li Qi's eyes opened and said, "How do you say this?" ”

The drunkard smiled and said, "I don't believe that you, Li Qi, can be able to accompany Corporal Lixian to the point of being with me for half an hour in this stinky place, unless you have something urgent and want me to help." ”

Li Qi said: "You are only right about one thing, I do have something to ask you for help, but I am sitting here, just thinking about whether you can be trusted." ”

The drunkard easily turned over, the narrow back of the donkey did not bring him the slightest difficulty, he poured a sip of wine into his stomach, looked at it with blank eyes, and said: "If it were you instead, unless there is no way, I will never run to beg a drunkard who is drunk and dreaming all day long." Now that you're here, does this trust matter? ”

Li Qi nodded and said, "What you said makes a lot of sense. Will you help me? ”

"Yes!"

"Won't you first hear what it is?"

"You are a very cautious person, since you have come to me, then this matter should be within my ability, otherwise, you will not come to me, let alone sit here for half an hour."

"Hehe, I really didn't expect you to agree to be so happy, I thought it would take a little more talk."

"I'm not helping you, I'm helping Maqiao and Meimei, if something happens to you, they will definitely not be spared."

"Then you don't need to be paid anything?"

"What I want, don't you know?"

"Oh, besides, if you ask for anything else, I may not be able to give it, and now I am poor and only have wine."

"Wine is enough. Say, what's the matter? ”

Li Qi took out a letter from his arms, handed it over, and said, "Send a letter." ”

The drunkard took the letter and asked, "Where is it delivered?" ”

Li Qi hesitated for a moment before he said, "Fengxiang Mansion is the envoy of the mansion." ”

The drunkard sneered and didn't ask any more questions, because he knew that the letter must be very important to Richie.

Li Qi stood up, patted his forehead, and said with a smile: "Curious to ask, why are you lying on it and drinking." ”

"Because it's kind."

"That's right, people are good at being bullied, and donkeys are good at being lying on people." (To be continued)
