None of them can be allowed to be sent to be an envoy is simple. Luniru Ding Yushe stood up and said calmly: "Mr. Zheng, you can re-argument the three things you said."

Zheng Lang smiled dumbly.

This further proves his judgment, but it is false to say that disgusting is fake and plays a role in making trouble. If Yuan Hao really became Zhao Zhen's ancestor, even if he was Zhao Zhen's son in name, his morale and people's hearts will not be lost, because after all, he has grown up for a lifetime.

So Ru Ding changed it to Wuzhang.

But if the Xixia people give up this title, it would probably be difficult as long as there is a corrupt body in the court. At most, it would be replaced by my ancestor to Wu Zu again.

Ru Ding continued: "I don't agree with the various things about Wu Hao's words. They are mostly Wu Hao's false accusations. They say that our lord sent Khitans, and maybe some, our lord often sent Khitans, but I don't believe it. As for the councillors of the Song Dynasty, our lord said similar words, but the peace talks were not made. How can our lord get up from the cloud bed and ask the holy affairs? Khitan is a superior country, a great country, whether to attack the Song Dynasty or not, how can we take charge of Xixia? Besides, the peace talks have not been made, even if there is another war in the northwest, it is reasonable. If we set up peace talks and we will send troops to invade the border again, it is wrong for our Xixia."

Zheng Lang shrugged and said, "Ru Ding, can I regard your words as your Xixia continuing to declare war on our dynasty?"

"Mr. Zheng, if you understand, I will have nothing to do." Ru Ding said calmly.

The threat is quite strong, and there is a disagreement and discord. Not only will our Xixia continue to war, but we will also invite the Khitan to attack your Song Dynasty.

"You are going to fight in Xixia, so let's fight, but it's important, you have to think clearly," Zheng Lang threatened in turn, and said to Zhao Zhen: "Your Majesty, please take them down."

If you want to talk about other things, you cannot let these people hear it.

After taking the envoy of Xixia down, Zheng Langcai said slowly: "Your Majesty, my grandfather, after I returned to the capital, I heard a lot of controversy. Some of the controversy were talked about in a blank space. I used facts to speak about whether it was a war or a harmony. I had to talk about internal affairs and external pressure. External pressure must start with the two countries of Khitan and Xixia."

"Say." Zhao Zhen said. He wanted to make peace, but he didn't want to make peace like this. But the situation developed to this point, which made him worry. In fact, without Zheng Lang, Zhao Zhen did not agree to Yuan Hao's unreasonable eleven articles in the end. However, under the leadership of Yan Shu, all kinds of troubles happened, which further under Yuan Hao's attention. Even when Yuan Hao was about to end, he still made many unreasonable demands. The harmony was very beneficial to the Song Dynasty, but the price of peace was too high! Too humiliating!

"Let's talk about the Khitan first. The new alliance was born. The silk was given 300,000 yuan and silver and 200,000 yuan each year. The silk was not the best silk worth two stakes. The court did not dare to neglect the Khitan. They gave the silk, each piece worth about half a piece, and silver was worth two stakes per stake. They were also escorted to Xiongzhou. With the freight loss, it was approaching one million stakes. When it came to Khitan, the silver price seemed to be similar. Even because of the tributes for years, the Khitan had a lot of silver, and some of them were circulated back to our dynasty through trade. However, the price of silk was very high, and the silk was more than two stakes, reaching three stakes from a distance. In fact, the annual income of the Khitan was one million, not half a million."

You have to tell a story. You can be able to be harmonious and not be harmonious. You can say it arbitrarily, or talk big, and there is no persuasion. This is to speak with facts.

"The Khitan is not our dynasty. These incomes are equivalent to one tenth of their fiscal revenue, and must be heavy. Therefore, after the birth of the new alliance, the Khitan celebrated the whole country and carved monuments to earn merit. Second, our dynasty began to fall, and many scholars and powerful men and powerful people were afraid of life and death, and they only wanted peace, greedy for enjoyment, and stripped the people. The Khitan was established for a longer time, but the depravity was even more powerful than our dynasty. Therefore, the tribes such as Bu rebelled and recovered. There were many warriors in these tribes, and they were far more powerful than some of the barbarian tribes in the south. In addition, Goryeo rebelled and rebelled, and internal chaos dragged them down. Third, the result of two southern attacks. Emperor Taizong of Liao Yelu Deguang spent a lot of effort to conquer a small Later Jin, but threw his life in the Central Plains. In the end, the Khitan did not

We have to not withdraw from the Central Plains. The second time was the Battle of Chanyuan. Although our dynasty was forced to the alliance under the city, the Khitan was very dangerous at that time. If our army surrounded all the troops from the rear, the Emperor of Liao Shengzong and Empress Xiao would probably not be able to go back. This would make the Khitan psychologically afraid of the southern expedition. Your Majesty, why did the Khitan emperor make a poisonous oath in the letter of alliance, and regard his descendants as his country? They were also afraid. Since they could tear the alliance, our Song Dynasty could tear the alliance. Therefore, we made such a vicious poison oath. I think the north must have it. If the troops are relaxed and weak, the Khitan will sooner or later become coveted. As long as we are strictly prepared and guarded, the Khitan will not invade, and at least not invade within these decades."

"Zheng Qing, you just said that Hao Thief sent an envoy to Khitan..."

"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I want to say. Yuan Hao said, not to join forces with the Khitan invasion. He still wanted to make peace. He just saw the two countries fighting, and the Khitan got huge benefits without spending one soldier. He was not convinced. See if he could deceive the Khitans to send troops. As long as the Khitans send troops, our dynasty would be under pressure on both sides. We must reconcile the Xixia, and the Xixia would also get great benefits from the peace talks. However, although the Khitans were degenerate, they would not be so stupid that they could be fooled by this stupid one. As long as they sent troops to force each other, the new alliance would become a piece of waste paper and get into evil with our dynasty. In turn, Xixia became a fisherman. Will they agree to the change of this role?"

"Won't."

"That is, I will talk about Xixia and our dynasty. Let me start with our dynasty. After years of fierce battle, the country was in trouble and the national treasury was empty. Even the food prepared for disaster relief was still purchased by borrowing money. It forced Mr. Fan to propose selling official positions to make money. Another drought broke out, so wars broke out everywhere, so many ministers wanted to quickly negotiate peace and avoid changes in the northwest and focus their attention on the country. I also thought that the country was the fundamental, but I did not agree with this idea. Peace with Xixia was not a peace with the Khitan. Although the Khitans also had a alliance, they were relatively speaking.

They will also abide by some credit. The Western Xia is different. They are ambitions and desires, and the more they give, the faster they recover. Sooner or later, war will break out. Now the two countries are just competing for recovery speed. Once our dynasty recovers first, then some adjustment reforms will be carried out, and the country's finances are healthy and the people are well-off and safe, then this huge finance can be quickly converted into combat power and weapons. Whether to fight or reconcile will be determined by our dynasty. But let the Western Xia recover first and invade the border again, our dynasty will be worse off and will collapse."

"Zheng Lang. You're talking too seriously." Yan Shu said unhappily.

Zheng Lang ignored him and said to Zhao Zhen: "I returned to the capital and received two messages, one was a letter of information sent by the Northwest spy, and the other was that my empress was seriously ill. I was in a bad mood at this time, and it was difficult for both loyalty and filial piety to do both. I don't know what to do, and I really want to resign and return home."

Zhao Zhen was stunned. How to say this well? And this is what makes him a headache. If there is a mother who is easy to deal with, but Zheng Lang has seven mothers, one by one, and it is normal for him to be sick or die. Zheng Lang is a Confucian scholar. He wants to be filial and not very eager for power. What should he do then?

He frowned and said to the eunuch beside him: "Transfer the imperial edict and ask the imperial medicine to choose two imperial physicians to go to Zhengzhou to treat Empress Zheng Lang."

"Your Majesty, don't use it. Your Majesty, I am puzzled. If there is a dispute between the court and the court is destroyed, will the two of them be demoted?"

Fan Zhongyan and Han Qi both lowered their heads and snickered.

Yan Shu couldn't hold on to his old face, sometimes blue and sometimes white. With Zheng Lang's status, he was enough to fight against Yan Shu.

We have to calm down this old boy. Not only this peace talks, but also when the big plan is implemented soon, this person is destroying it, and the consequences are even more serious.

Then he turned back to the topic and continued: "There are many reasons for the wars everywhere. Several years of war have made the country difficult and the people suffer. The drought has become worse. But it is not difficult to be so difficult. There are other reasons, and the minority tribes have repeatedly repeated. This is a must-believe, and the Meishan barbarians are like the kingdom of the country. They have done evil and have also played a leading role in the southern barbarians. Originally, the people are in distress, and the officials' inaction is even the second. The disadvantages of the army, I will explain this matter in a few days, and I have just been investigating it. But one thing is that the king is kind and there are also ministers with conscience and ability in the court. This is what it is.

The fundamentals of the country. As long as these two fundamentals are still there, the country will settle the crisis safely. Even if there is a disaster next year, will there be any more than the year after? When the harvest is abundant, it will be the day when our dynasty recovers. Your Majesty, don’t worry about internal affairs, even if there are some bandits, there will be no climate. For example, Wang Lun, I only lead more than 200 people and defeat them in one hour. But peace is temporarily beneficial to the country and must rest and rest. However, peace and discord are not determined by our dynasty, but by Xixia. Unless our dynasty can give Xixia 500,000 yuan a year, strengthen the enemy and suffer the people, the national finances are even more difficult. What is the difference between waiting for death?”

"Zheng Qing, talk about Xixia."

"The Western Xia is about to be at peace. After several years of hard fighting, our dynasty's huge financial situation has been in crisis. Besides, the Western Xia. Not to mention the Western Xia, even if the Khitans have fought for several years, the country will be in crisis. When I came from Weizhou, I heard from the scouts that there were people eating leaves, digging grass roots, and rats everywhere in the Western Xia territory. If it weren't for Yuanhao's army to guard the border, at least half of the people would flee to our dynasty. There are many tribes in the Xixia territory, and many tribes are dissatisfied. At this time, the crisis is more serious than our dynasty. Not to mention that the Khitans do not send troops, even if they send troops, Yuanhao is unable to send troops. Just send troops to see the border. There are Wang Kai and Zhe Jimin, both of whom are first-class generals. There are Wang Xin in Yanzhou, Zhong Shiheng in Huanzhou, and Zhang Kang, Di Qing, Zhang Ji and Wang Ji on Jingyuan Road. Their military abilities are far above me. Our dynasty is also very powerful.

Build a fort on the front line, and the frontier places are spread to Xiaoguan. The three routes are almost integrated into one and echo each other. In this case, Yuan Hao may not be able to win. Even if he wins, he will not be able to win, and he will only increase the burden on the country. If he is defeated, the Xixia will automatically collapse and we will not need to send troops to the north. Do Yuan Hao dare to be the enemy of the northwest at this time? Dare, at least five years and ten years, after all his vitality is restored, he will definitely wait for an opportunity. Therefore, I think the Khitan does not have to worry too much, and it is enough to temporarily be careful to make friends with them and strictly prevent the north. The generals in the northwest should not be transferred back for the time being. Even if they are transferred back, they cannot be transferred back for each other. At most, nine items were enough to express sincerity, and one more could not be added. For the envoys, our court should not be too polite, so as not to be careless to avoid being underestimated by the people of Xixia."

Speaking of this, he looked at Shao Liangzuo and said, "Your Majesty, I sent two aides to Qingzhou Prefecture to be very rampant. I took the two Khitan envoys to Weizhou casually, and Yuanhao had no choice but to release Wang Song back, which was also a grand courtesy. Why did Shao Liangzuo come to negotiate with great sincerity and only avoid humiliation? Your Majesty, you are too weak, and once you are weak, you will be deceived."

Han Qi was excited after hearing this sentence, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Zheng Lang's words are in his words, please think twice."

Zhao Zhen's forehead.

And surely, he had to make peace, but he also felt that the court had made mistakes in the action.

Zheng Lang said again: "Please read another piece of information from Your Majesty."

It was the news brought by the Northwest. Not many people knew it. Even if they knew it, they almost forgot it after so long, but the chess pieces arranged by Zheng Lang played a role bit by bit.

Wang Yong and the others retreated, but Lu Ling did not retreat, and he had no way to retreat. He had been smuggling merchants in the northwest. So he sent the information from Jiashan. Under the pressure of the Khitan, Yuan Hao had to send troops to Jiashan. The Khitan had few troops in Jiashan and fell again. His combat power was not strong and he could not suppress the uprising of the Dai'er tribe. However, Yuan Hao's army still had some combat power and quickly assisted the Luohannu to calm the rebellion of Jiashan. After the quellation, there were many spoils, such as cattle, horses and sheep, tents and carts, slaves, etc.

The Luohannu despised the people of Xixia and did not distribute a single hair to Yuan Hao. In a rage, Yuan Hao took over the more than 800 accounts of the Dai'er clan and took them back to his country. It was not a big deal, but Lu Ling was instructed by Zheng Lang and came up with an idea in the ears of Luohannu.

This matter became a big deal. First, Qu Lie led his troops to defect, and later, Daier and other tribes revolted. Xiao Puda, the four Jie army carefully and Zhang Fonu died one after another. It was not until Yuan Hao took action that the uprising was wiped out. Where did the Luohannu's face be put?

Lu Ling then made a plan to ask the Arhat slave to blame and carry Yuan Hao to rebel. He said that the reason for the rebellion was that Yuan Hao wanted to invade the population of Xishan, he deliberately sent someone to give him an envoy, and secretly helped the armor and weapons, which led to difficulties in extermination. So when Yuan Hao's army came, the rebel bandits were destroyed, not destroyed, but took the belt to take the rebels to Xixia by taking the opportunity of extermination. After receiving the report, Liao Xingzong was furious and ordered the soldiers to conquer the southwest to fight against Yuan Hao.

In June, Wu Ba, the chief of the archbu, sent his son to escort Yuanhao's envoy, Jin Yigai, to meet Liao Xingzong. Why Yuanhao sent envoys to archbu? Lu Ling did not find out the reason. I am afraid that Yuanhao would not have much good intentions, otherwise Wu Ba would not escort the envoys to Liao Xingzong. Then he said that the Khitan sent troops to Xixia, and the archbu would use troops to assist the war. Liao Xingzong followed. He sent Yelu Gao's envoy to the Song Dynasty to inform him that the Gao's envoy had already rushed to the border of the Song Dynasty, but the Song Dynasty still did not know what the envoy was doing.

Lu Ling gave a lot of money to the Arhat Slave. Now the two have become friends and say nothing. At some point, the Arhat Slave almost treats Lu Ling as a confidant, so this information is constantly leaking from the Arhat Slave's mouth.

But Yuan Hao still knew nothing. He sent an envoy to ask the Khitan to send troops, and passed by the Arhat slaves and told some news. He wanted the Khitan to send troops, but he could not say it directly. Instead, he said that the Song Dynasty was arrogant and wanted land, but did not let Yuan Hao claim to be the king of the country. He did not want to negotiate peace, so he asked for support from the country. It would be better to send troops to help and oppress the Song Dynasty to negotiate peace.

Lu Ling was shocked when he heard this. The court was so soft that he, a small businessman, could not stand it. What else could he say to the Arhats, so he said, "You Khitan should not be fooled." The Song Dynasty was so capable that he could not give it to the East but not the West. Once the Khitan sent troops, it would mean that the alliance between the two countries was invalid. The Song Dynasty could only win over the Xixia, give these generous coins to the Xixia, let the Xixia send troops to the Xishan Mountains, and the Song Dynasty dealt with the north. The Khitan did not get the benefits, but suffered the harm. This man was a wolfish man, and was not loyal to the Song Dynasty, nor was he loyal to the Khitan.

Luo Hannu knew that Lu Ling's words were helping the Song Dynasty, but he had a bad relationship with Yuan Hao. After listening to the forehead, he wrote a memorial to Liao Xingzong. Lu Ling also wrote information and took the prefectures and the provinces. Zhe Jimin was confused. He thought about it and finally brought the news to Zheng Lang. He was worried to give it to the rest of the court.

"Really fight?" Zhao Zhen put down the information.

"Not necessarily, the Khitans are hesitating at this time. In their thinking, it is best not to send out a soldier or a soldier. Most of them are to blame and bluff. However, as long as our court and the people of Xixia successfully negotiate peace, Yuan Hao's rebelliousness will sooner or later anger the Khitan. Then it is the time for a real battle, and it will be next year at the earliest."

"I still have to do it."

"Yes, I did not object to He. The Khitan's intention was immediately Yuan Hao could detect it. The form forced him to be more anxious than my dynasty, and the power of war lies with me."

"What is it?" Zhang Dexiang looked at the paper with his eyes wide open, not understanding what the king and his minister were saying.

Zheng Lang said: "You guys can see it, but whoever leaks it will be revealed will be regarded as an enemy for life. Not only will I fight with it, but I will suppress my family and descendants as long as I am alive."

It's vicious, but I can't guarantee that these guys can do anything for the sake of fighting.

Moreover, Zhao Zhen’s failure to object is equivalent to acquiesce. With Zheng Lang’s future, it will be terrible if he really suppresses someone or his family members.

Zhao Zhen patted his head and smiled bitterly. He was a smart man. He knew why Zheng Lang said this, and he also knew that some of the palace ladies he released were bought by Yuan Hao. Although he smiled bitterly, he also looked at it silently. He passed on the information and wrote the handwriting a bit ugly, but it didn't matter. He could recognize it. He said, "This little merchant has some courage."

No one of the smugglers is not brave enough. But Zheng Lang did not say that there would be controversy when it said it would be controversy, but it was controversy about using talents. Everything was for harmony and for the smooth passage of the next plan. On the way, he hated Yan Shu so much that he was ready to fight Yan Shu. Finally, he thought about it and fought for what he was now, but there was no fight.

Several prime ministers looked at the information and looked at each other.

Unexpectedly, only three secret spies were in the north.

Zheng Lang also said: "In addition, it is to send envoys. It is very important for the imperial court to send envoys. If it were not for good officials to go to Xixia, they would have been underestimated by the Xia thieves."

Shao Liangzuo was a little uncomfortable.

He is pretty good, he has not lost much face to the country, the one behind him is bad.

The Khitan envoy told the Song Dynasty that he wanted to declare war on the Western Xia. The Song Dynasty was not stupid, and wanted the fisherman to benefit. He also sent envoy Yuanhao to surrender, so he sent Zhang Zishi and Wang Zhenglun. Yuanhao wanted to make peace and wanted to get a lot of benefits from the Song Dynasty. The situation was urgent, so he gave two people the Golden Festival head crown and the Hushang. For small profits, they ignored the national justice and agreed to increase the coins in the Western Xia, and the market was easy to ban the ban on green salt. The increase in the coins made Zheng Lang unbearable, and green salt was even worse, especially green salt, which was sold for one hundred cents per pound, and more than twenty cents per pound. However, the cost of salt production was very low, and a pound of only two or three cents per pound. That is, one stone of salt was thrown away from the transportation cost and mining cost, and the vendors made profits and taxes at least nearly ten cents of profits in Xixia. This was even more unbearable for Zheng Lang.

So the envoy is very important and said, "If you go on an envoy next time, I will recommend one person."

"who?"

This candidate is not easy to deal with. Not only should one have wisdom, but one should be selfless and courageous. Even Liang Shi, who was supervising peace in Yanzhou, may not be suitable. The most suitable one is Fu Bi, but Fu Bi, as the deputy prime minister of Xifu, obviously cannot be sent to Xixia.

Zheng Lang said slowly: "Previous Censor Bao Zheng."
