[Next shift, twelve o'clock.] 】

Han Gang looked at Wang Anshi again, last night, Zhang Dian sent someone to pass the word, saying that Wang Anshi had already nodded.

"I wonder what the other ministers said?" He asked.

Wang Pingzhang also agreed. Xiang replied to the queen, "This is a military matter, so I consulted Wang Pingzhang." Han Xianggong and Cai Xianggong felt that they should be cautious, and the Privy Council could not do without the main court. ”

Unexpectedly, Han Jiang would like Lu Huiqing to return to Beijing as soon as possible. It seems that he also doesn't want to see Lu Huiqing make meritorious contributions in the northwest, and then be directly promoted to the prime minister's train. I didn't want the old grievances and grievances, but I still left them until now.

"The Liao people are in the south, but the privy envoy is in Guanxi, which can be described as providence. The three-way force is weak, and the force is strong. With the privy envoy Xuanfu Shaanxi, the power of the border roads was unified, and it was not a problem to resist the invasion of the Liao. ”

Empress Xiang still believes in Zhang Dian and Han Gang, who have military experience, and Wang Anshi's prestige is also higher than that of Han Jiang and Cai Qudu. But in this way, it is about to be a big war: "But now the country is unstable, and it is ...... to rashly start a war with Liao."

"What's the point of instability?!" Han Gang immediately said, he cheered up Empress Xiang, "There is the foundation laid by His Majesty in the past, and His Royal Highness is in power, how can it be unstable?" If there are really people who don't want to serve the country, but they contribute to the prestige of the Liao people, is it really a fictitious Huanghuang Heavenly Law? ! ”

Han Gang did not back down. Even Han Jiang and Cai Qu, who want to recall Lu Huiqing, they will not hesitate to fight and will never compromise.

Maybe after returning to the queen, he will have to ask the Son of Heaven, maybe the Son of Heaven will think that it is not impossible to take a step back. But it also depends on whether the Zaifu agree or not. Even if Zhao Ji still has any ideas, he can't resist the refusal of the Zai Fu.

Once they compromise and retreat to the Liao, it will be the two governments that will lose face, and it will ruin their reputation. Hedong abandoned the land in Xining, and the central government at that time, regardless of the new party or the old party, which one nodded and agreed to cut the land? And the old ministers outside, but they didn't care about scaring the emperor of the six gods and no master - the position is different, and the responsibility to be borne is different!

Now that the old party has collapsed, it has not been able to make a comeback in recent years, and all the queen can rely on is the new party. In the case of the two parties, the Zai Fu will not agree to any decision that damages their reputation, even if the Son of Heaven can move the queen, but all the edicts will be blocked back when they arrive in the political hall, and no one will countersign them!

Han Jiang won't! Cai Cheng will not either! Zhang Qi will not either! As for Xifu, not to mention.

Could it be that Zhao Ji, who was lying on the sickbed, could still issue a secret edict to the generals on the front line? Even if he does it, look at how many people on the front line dare to test the knife with their necks!

But Empress Xiang did not have the determination of the Zaifu, and there was still hesitation on her face.

Han Gang said: "The Liao people's desires are difficult to fill, especially Yelu Yixin. Xiao Xi is in the Duting Station, and the old things are still vivid. Now the siege of Pule City is the life of Yelu Yixin. brazenly sent troops south, and provoked the remnants of the party in Qingtongxia, and he did not know His Majesty's illness at that time. If you learn that Your Majesty's jade body is against harmony, I don't know what you will ask for? At that time, he asked for Yinxia and Ganliang, but did he want to give it to him? If you reach out to Taiyuan and Yan'an again, will you give it to him too? And Yelu Yixin recently killed the king, and the new monarch he set up, named Xuanzong's posthumous son, is actually suspicious. The Liao State is not stable, and it will not be so easy for Yelu Yixin to personally lead the army south. Even if he can raise troops to the south, with the national strength and military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, it is far easier to retreat from the enemy than during the Zhenzong period. ”

Han Gang spoke at length, and Xiang Empress felt a little dizzy. But before that, all the courtiers in the palace did not advocate backing down, even the two prime ministers just wanted to be safe. Han Gang is also a general idea now. The important ministers were unanimous, but there was nothing to hesitate about.

"What should I do with the Du Pavilion Station?" Xiang asked the queen worriedly. From the beginning of the incident in the northwest, according to Han Gang, the two sides did not want to fight in Dali, and most of them took a step back to end up in the worst place. And according to the past practice, the Great Song Dynasty sent out some silver silk to calm things. Xiao Xi must be about to open his mouth.

"The Liao people have broken the alliance and betrayed the alliance, so the minister will go and ask him!" Han Gang was righteous and awe-inspiring, "Its song is on the other side, look at how Xiao Xi justifies!" ”

……………………

"Sure enough."

Xiao Xi put away the letter he had just delivered, and the corners of his lips curled. It was finally confirmed what had happened to make Han Gang leave in a hurry. It was also confirmed that everything was going smoothly according to the pre-arranged steps.

Sneering twice, he explained to the long-awaited Zhigan: "Father Shang has decided to do it in Xingling, and the order has been given when the letter came. ”

When you hear it, you are happy. In this way, when it comes to tomorrow, you will be able to see the depressed and panicked faces of the Song people.

"There's no need to fight with Xiao Han anymore. What if you are a disciple of the Medicine King Buddha? Xiao Xi's smile was cruel, "This is just early, it's better to arrive at the same time!" The emperor had a stroke, the queen was in power, the queen mother was detained, King Yong went crazy, and the prince was only five years old. has the ability to restore the emperor, and if he doesn't have this ability, he will honestly admit defeat in betting. ”

Zhigan couldn't help but nod, "It's a coincidence!" Luck is just too good! ”

Their Zhengdan mission was originally going to bargain with the Song people and go back if they wanted to be safe. The young master died of illness, and Yelu Yixin set up a new king. Today's first priority is to maintain stability in the country. It's just that Da Liao has always acted by advancing and retreating, and attacking instead of defending. The idea of compromising and conceding to foreign enemies in order to maintain domestic stability has never existed in the minds of the true Khitans. Once Yelu Yixin did this, the result would only be worse, and it would not be suppressed both inside and outside.

In order to deter the ambition of the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, Yelu Yixin began to prepare to provoke border rebellion despite the fact that Xingling had not yet stabilized. The original intention was to prevent the Song people from making any changes and making the country uneasy. But it would be better if he could take the party members of Qingtongxia and exchange some silver silks and special products with the Song people by the way. That's why he Xiao Xi will be enabled. There was Xiao Xi, who had forced the Song lord to cede the border land east of the river, which was originally to announce to the Song people that the Great Liao Kingdom was stable and had the confidence to ask for more benefits from the Song State.

But neither Yelu Yixin nor Xiao Xi would have thought in advance that the ambitious young emperor of the Song Kingdom would have a stroke during the sacrifice to the sky. Now it's even more desperate, and there is not much time left. What might have been a compromise or even a compromise turned out to be able to cut off a piece of meat.

Xiao Xi knocked on the table, "The party members in Qingtongxia want to belong to my Da Liao, the Montenegrin party in Shengzhou, Hedong wants to return to the north, and the party people in Xingling also want to return to the old land of Weizhou, these places can be talked about." ”

The Son of Heaven was dying, and the queen hurriedly took over the affairs of the country, which was the time when the people were panicking. With Xiao Xi's understanding of the Song people, where will they have the determination to be tough to the end. If you go outside, you must first settle inside, and the last thing you must do is to give money to avoid disasters. The question is exactly how much to give. It's up to you to be eloquent.

Are they both waiting for tomorrow, thinking about how to speak when facing Han Gang. pinching Han Gang's neck today really made them unhappy. But it didn't take long for Han Gang to return.

When he entered the door, Han Gang had no smile on his face at all, and his eyes were as sharp as the cold wind outside. This made Xiao Xi's heart feel terrified, and he threw a look at Zhi Gan, "It seems that things have changed." ’

As soon as Han Gang entered the hall, he didn't even sit down, "Dare to ask Lin Ya, what does your country think of the Lanyuan Alliance?" ”

"I have made a promise, and the covenant has been established, so I will naturally keep my promise. Your country Hebei has not heard of war for more than 70 years, is it not the power of the alliance? Xiao Xi would not be fooled, and his face stiffened, "It's your country, which spares no effort to build cities and forts on the border, but I don't know if I can still remember that piece of promise!" ”

"Lin Ya said that he built a city and forts, but on the ridge of the watershed?!"

At that time, Xiao Xi clamored that the northeastern frontier of the river should be bounded by the ridge on the watershed, but this was actually just his mouth and did not go through on-the-spot investigation. The Great Song Dynasty sent officials to the local area to take a look, and there were no soil ridges on the watershed at all.

Han Gang said sarcastically, and without waiting for Xiao Xi to respond, he said sharply: "The country abides by the covenant, and it has not been delayed once for more than seventy years. But what about your country?! If your country ignores the old alliance, when the alliance does not exist, then everything is not mentioned, Han Gang will ask for the order to send Lin Yali out of the country, and whether the two countries are at war or at peace in the future has nothing to do with Lin Ya. If Lin Ya was still thinking about the Yuanyuan Alliance, Han Gang would have to ask. What is the reason why your country is raising troops to besiege my border city?! ”

Han Gang suddenly revealed their hole cards, not caring about being used. Xiao Xi's face did not change, showing an extremely excellent psychological quality, but his breathing inevitably became a little short. And the folding dry is much worse, and he even widened his eyes, wondering if Han Gang was crazy, how could he send himself into the pit?

"I don't know what Nehan said." Xiao Xi looked innocent, "But the father of the contemptible country once mentioned the order to let the border guards not provoke border provocations." If it is true as Neihan said, the reason may be in your country's guards. ”

"Lin Ya is very talkative, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses surround my border city, but he can push it away. Han Gang informed Lin Ya that at today's court meeting, it had been decided to set up the Shaanxi Xuanfu Envoy, with the privy envoy Lu Huiqing as the Xuanfu. With the meaning of the two governments, when Ning is broken jade, not complete. However, the Zhonggong remembered that the alliance between the two countries was good, and it could not bear the misery of the lives of the two countries, so it sent Han Gang to ask, does your country plan to break the treaty? People have no faith, they don't know what they can do, and the country has no faith, but they can survive for a long time?"

The personnel changes in the court, I believe Xiao Xi also knows about it. Different people will have different means to deal with the crisis, and Xiao Xi will not be unintelligible. Especially after he stressed.

"If your country intends to renounce the treaty and break the alliance, the country will fight to the end. No matter who the opponent is, the country will never be afraid! If your country wants peace, there will be peace. But if your country chooses war, then the Great Song Dynasty will repay the war! Han Gang's voice was higher and higher, and when he reached the end, he roared out: "Lin Ya, don't forget to go to Hedong!" ”
