Sunlight shines through the flowers, through the panes, and dappled on the ground. After this barrier, the heat was blocked out, and the house was cool.

Xu Ping sat on the chair, looked at the white-faced bearded middle-aged man standing in front of him, and said, "It turned out that you were the supervisor of Langzhou, and the battle was not good." ”

Li Ming's confidence was mixed, not long ago, on the front line of Langzhou, he was still full of spirits, thinking about fighting Langzhou in the first battle, and then fighting in Luzhou, and driving Song back to Shanbei. It was only a long time, and the young coach on the opposite side had already arrived in the Jiaozhi King City, and he only groveled.

With a smile on his face, Li Mingxin said: "Raising officials to laugh, small people have shallow knowledge, how can they be the opponents of officials?" At that time, I didn't know how thick the sky was, but now I think about it, it's really embarrassing. ”

Now at this time, Xu Ping has also waived those vulgar rites, and for a person who is about to become a prisoner of his own ranks, he is exempted from any tea and watch.

Holding the table with his hand, Xu Ping asked, "You are disguised and come to me, what do you have to discuss?" Look at you, you weren't sent by Li Foma. ”

Li Mingxin looked left and right, and asked in a low voice: "When the little one comes, naturally there are important things to discuss with the officials." I don't know the officials here, it's inconvenient to speak? ”

"Of course it's convenient, if you have something to say, you can say it directly."

"I came here this time at the behest of my father-in-law—"

Xu Ping didn't know about his crooked relatives, and asked, "Which is your father-in-law?" ”

"Today's No. 1 minister in Jiaozhi, surnamed Li Zhenrenyi."

"It turned out to be him," you continued.

Li Mingxin said that his father-in-law was the first important minister of Jiaozhi, which was not an exaggeration, and it was simple and clear, much more obvious than throwing out a lot of various titles, Xu Ping understood it as soon as he heard it. This kind of big shot. Xu Ping naturally inquired about it a long time ago, and also knew that Li Renyi was now losing power in front of Li Foma, and he guessed a little bit about Li Mingxin's intentions.

Li Mingxin said: "Now that the Great Song Dynasty is besieging the city with heavy troops, as long as people who are a little sensible understand that the Great Song Dynasty is determined to win the Jiaozhi Wangcheng this time. Only the king of Jiaozhi, Li Foma, is stubborn. Luckily, he still resisted. If the officials led the Song army to forcibly attack the city, they would inevitably kill and injure many people, and the officials and people would suffer. We are all people who eat fasting and recite Buddha, how can we watch Li Foma die like this! ”

Xu Ping smiled and did not speak.

From top to bottom, most of them believe in Buddhism and recite Buddha. Especially in the Li Dynasty, Taizu Li Gongyun was able to ascend to the throne. Thanks to the demigods, the old monk of Wanxing gave special treatment to the Buddhists. As for what Li Mingxin said about eating fasting and reciting Buddha, it may be true, but it may not be good-hearted.

Speaking of the old monk of Wanxing, he is also a strange person, who can pinch and calculate, he is really like a fairy, looking at it for five hundred years before and after looking at it for five hundred years. After Li Gongyun ascended to the throne, he was named a national teacher. However, this person's deeds are heard in Xu Ping's ears, but they have a different taste. How do you listen to it, how do you think it is Jiaozhi and this monk copied the story of Song Taizu and Chen Tuan.

This place called itself Little China in Xu Ping's previous life, and it was the same trend for the Central Plains Dynasty, and he learned what he heard. Li Gongyun's ascension is simply a copy of Song Taizu, and it is nothing to learn Chen Tuan.

Li Mingxin peeked at Xu Ping, and saw that his attitude was gentle, and his heart was a little calmer. Li Li pondered: "My father-in-law and several princes and ministers in the city saw that Li Foma was so perverse and stubborn, and caused the people to suffer in vain, how could they bear it? The little one came out to discuss with the officials and abolished Li Foma. Welcome the Song army into the city! ”

Speaking of this, Li Ming was nervous and cautiously peeked at Xu Ping.

Xu Ping waved his hand: "It's good to have this idea, you go on." ”

Li Mingxin hesitated for a while, redoubled his caution, and asked Xu Ping: "Little courage to ask, after the officials occupy the Shenglong Mansion, do you want to take the land of Jiaozhi County, or don't set up Xinfan?" ”

Xu Ping looked at Li Mingyi, and the corners of his mouth curled: "You really think a lot, Jiaozhi is the country of Fan personally sealed by the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, that is, Li Fuma, and there are also officials and lords of the imperial court." If it weren't for his perverse behavior, his disobedience to courtesy, and his repeated invasion of the Great Song Dynasty's territory, how could I have come here? ”

"The official still told the little one clearly whether he would withdraw the county of Fanli, otherwise I wouldn't be able to go back and reply."

The two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong naturally wanted to take Jiaozhi County and its land, at least like Lingnan, for which Taizong also levied Jiaozhi once. But when it came to the Zhenzong Dynasty, especially after the Battle of Lanzhou, he lost his ambition to expand his territory and lost his mind. Empress Dowager Liu was in power and basically continued the policy of keeping the dynasty true.

In the current Great Song Dynasty, there is no intention of removing the king of the Jiaozhi domain and practicing the county system in Jiaozhi. Xu Ping, as a magistrate, is even more unable to be the master of this kind of thing, he hits here, even if he destroys all the Jiaozhi, how to deal with it still has to listen to the opinions of the imperial court. In fact, Xu Ping didn't have the strength to occupy this place until one day, and after the withdrawal of troops, Jiaozhi was still the Fan Kingdom of the Great Song Dynasty, but what kind of Fan Kingdom was left for Xu Ping to choose.

But this is a bargaining chip in Xu Ping's hand, and he can't just give Li Mingxin any promises.

Looking at Li Mingxin looking at himself with a blank eye, Xu Ping smiled slightly: "Jiaozhi is here, thousands of years ago it was the hometown of the imperial court, whether it was the establishment of the country of Fan, or the establishment of counties and counties, it was always under the Son of Heaven. As for the future, it still depends on you Jiaozhi people, if you follow up like Li Foma, do not practice the courtiers, and disturb the peace in the Great Song Dynasty, how can you establish a vassal state? The so-called Ping Domain, naturally as the Son of Heaven Domain, can't do this, how can it be possible to establish a vassal state? ”

Listening to Xu Ping's ambiguous words, Li Mingxin only felt dizzy. It's all reasonable, but there is no definite result, how can he explain it when he goes back? The king of the Eastern Expedition and the king of Kai fell out with Li Fuma with this sentence, and opened the city gate to welcome Xu Ping's Great Song into the city?

Standing stunned for a while, Li Ming said: "The official said this, but the little one still has no bottom in his heart, and he can't explain it when he goes back!" The little ones don't understand these truths, but don't things depend on the words of the officials? ”

"How is it possible to read a word from me? Of course, it depends on what Cochin looks like here! If you want to talk about it well, Li Foma has also sent envoys to Bianliang many times, but it is not the same as saying it out of the blue? As a result, what did he do here in Yongzhou? Is this still a screen? ”

Li Mingxin came to negotiate, where did he think of what reason Xu Ping told him, he thought about it in his heart, and he was afraid that it would still be fruitless. It's useful to be reasonable, don't bring troops if you have the ability!

After thinking about it, Li Mingxin simply said clearly: "Official, my father-in-law sent me out to ask the official for a word. If the gates of the city are opened and the army enters the city, can a new king be appointed? ”

Xu Ping was noncommittal: "Let's hear it." ”

"The soldiers and horses of the officials have been attacking the south main gate day and night for the past few days, and the soldiers and horses in the city have been transferred there to defend, and the other gates are empty. If we open the west gate of the city and let the officials enter the city, and the officials want to allow us to push the king out of the city, I don't know what the officials want? ”

Xu Ping smiled: "You have this thought, I have written it down." However, I am the minister of the Son of Heaven, and I take the soldiers of the Son of Heaven to the country of Tibet, how can I not go to the main gate! You go back and tell the people who sent you that you should be sincere and righteous in serving the Son of Heaven, and the court will naturally not treat them badly. Mention conditions at every turn, you people from small countries, your eyelids are too shallow, and you are not a courtier! (To be continued.) )
