Chapter 929

So, a secret decree was issued, and a large number of messengers were sent south, ordering the semi-official merchants who were doing business in Songting and the diplomatic officials who stayed in Songting in Liao Kingdom to bribe Songting's officials.

I hope they can convince the emperor of Song and let Song take the initiative to propose peace talks and give the Liao a decent and a step forward.

And the Liao Dynasty can at least have an advantage in negotiations.

But as a result, the young emperor of Song Ting was not at all good at the Tao. He never agreed. He even quarreled with the civil and military officials in the court for more than half a month. After a while, he refused to discuss this matter on the grounds that the queen was worried about having a baby.

After dragging it over and over, it was all the way to Mid-Autumn Festival. If you drag it like this, it would be extremely unfavorable for the Liao Dynasty.

Therefore, we must find a way to solve this problem, but if we want the Liao Kingdom to take the initiative to raise peace talks, this old face is really unsatisfied.

Among the scheming officials in the court, some people also guessed the idea of ​​Emperor Yelu Hongji, but they all had the idea of ​​being self-protection and would never propose it first, because advocates may become targets for the whole country to vent their anger in the future.

I am afraid that if I die, I will be dug out and whipped the corpse by those stupid people who don’t know the truth.

Besides, even if you are willing to sacrifice your life for the country, what if you guess the emperor’s intentions wrong? It will make the emperor furious, and then it will be a word of death. So, it is better to be silent than ten thousand words.

"Is there no new way to break the situation?" Yelu Hongji stayed in the study for a rare moment, facing the huge map in a daze.

Around him was Yelu and Luwu, who were deprived of the position of commander. Although he was never able to be restored by the emperor, he was frequently accepted by the emperor and expressed his opinions on the current situation of the war.

And during this period, when it was confirmed that the tax and grain production of Nanjing Road had been reduced in large quantities, Yelu Hongji almost gave the opportunity to see Yelu and Luwu more frequently.

"Your Majesty, I think that now, Song Ting is very careful, and we have lured the enemy several times, but the Song people are still standing still. They just guard their own defense line and will never take a step forward."

"In this way, even if there are thousands of good strategies, there is nothing we can do about it..." The analysis of Yelu and Luwu made Yelu Hongji's face look even more ugly.

"He Luwu, you are my brother. There are some things that I want to hear your true words."

Seeing Yelu Hongji's eyes falling on him, Yelu and Luwu nodded. "Your Majesty asks me, I will definitely speak out, and I will say everything."

"Do you think that in the Liao Dynasty, the country is now full of disasters, people are living in poverty, people are displaced, and the treasury is sharply reduced, should this war continue?"

"This..." Yelu and Luwu were stunned and hesitated a little.

"Don't forget that what I want to hear is your truth. There are no monarch and ministers here, only you and my brothers." Yelu Hongji sighed tiredly.

"I know you are still blaming me for the past, but if you hadn't acted in an impulse at the beginning, why would I, Daliao, have fallen into such a dilemma?"

"Your Majesty..." Yelu and Luwu fell to the ground, gritted their teeth, raised their heads and whispered. "My brother thinks that the fighter has been missed, and more attention should be transferred to people's livelihood governance so that the people can maintain their health..."

"I understand, but Song Ting's Zhao Xu's son is so treacherous. So many important officials of Song Ting strongly advocated peace, but he ignored it. This is not like what the Song Emperor did in the past..."

"Whether it is the Emperor Ren Song, Emperor Yingzong, or his father Emperor Shenzong..."

That era was really beautiful. There was no need for the Liao Dynasty to launch a large war. It just needed to put on an stance and act as a threat. The important officials of the Song Dynasty were so scared that they were trembling in the autumn wind.

And they would use their perfect tongue, use all kinds of means, and use countless great principles to convince the emperor of the Song Dynasty, and finally make concessions to the Liao Dynasty again and again.

But this time, this trick didn't work. It was so illogical and not scientific at all. Is this still the Song Dynasty I knew? Just when the two brothers were worried about it.

The Cheng'an of the Great Liao Dynasty was notarized, and the secret letter sent by the messenger sent by the Empress of the Western Xia Dynasty was sent to the Great Liao Palace in almost only about half an hour apart from the letter of the Emperor of the Western Xia Dynasty.

After Yelu, Luwu and Yelu Hongji read this letter and the secret letter, they both agreed and relaxed with relief.

"This is really a road that will never be defeated. Your Majesty's great blessing. My brother is thinking hard here, but he doesn't expect that Li Qianshun, a child from Xixia, can't hold on..."

"Even if I, the Great Liao, have paid the cost of the army, Xixia still can't hold on... It really disappoints me." Yelu Hongji, who got the advantage and acted obedient, even pretended to be angry and threw the letter to the imperial case.

However, I agree with what Yelu and Luwu said, which is simply to say that it has entered his heart. I have to sleep in the middle of the night, and someone has sent a pillow, which is really timely.

"What Your Majesty said is so true. Master Xia really disappointed me, Da Liao, and I, Da Liao, have made such great contributions to him, Xixia." The old man Yelu and Luwu naturally knew the meaning of elegance after hearing the string song, and his next sentence immediately changed his tone.

"What are you doing when you are standing there? You won't let me retreat." Yelu Hongji narrowed his eyes and swept over the several confidant eunuchs in the study. Soon, only Yelu, Luwu and Yelu Hongji were left in the study.

"Tell me about Luwu, let me tell you what the king of Xia is going to plan."

"Although Xixia did this, even though it was in line with the current situation, it was equivalent to giving me a step to retreat. However, if I, Daliao, follow the flow, it would probably damage my Daliao's majesty." Yelu and Luwu thought for a long time, slowly shook their heads and said.

"After all, the result of this battle against Song was really disappointing. If you withdraw your troops so sadly, it would be difficult for the government and the people to explain it. So the surrounding foreign countries would be afraid that they would also look down on our Great Liao points."

"This statement is in line with my wishes, and I am absolutely certain. If we really acquiesced to Xia Kingdom to do this, then my face in Daliao is really a big loss."

"Your Majesty said so, so if I, Daliao, want to retreat with decent, I, may have to make some moves..."

"Tell me about Luwu, let me discuss it in detail."
