Zheng Lang thought for a long time and shook his head. Not only was he thinking about a solution, he also guessed that Liao Xingzong was also thinking about a solution. It was a very strange scene, but it was not funny at all.

Zhong Kui also thought of the consequences and was so anxious that he wandered around in the tent.

Suddenly Zheng Lang smiled.

"Mr. Zheng, come up with a good idea?"

"There is no good strategy, but a reality. Is it obvious that the Khitan wants to surrender me?"

"Yes, but you can't say it directly."

"But we know. I want to escape from the Khitan. Do the Khitans know or not, and Yang Xi and Wang Sixing don't know what we are inside, but I have hinted to these guards before that there will be a way to take them out of the Khitan. They betrayed, wouldn't they tell me about it? In fact, everyone knows it in their minds, even if the empress dowager continues to pretend to be stupid after stabbing the empress dowager, so what if they stabbed them away?"

It’s just a golden finger that I am good at. It would be strange if I can beat so many ministers of the Khitan alone.

Just now, Xiao Hui has already come in.

Zheng Lang said: "Duke of Wei, the Queen Mother's words just now made me feel quite uneasy."

"Mr. Zheng, don't worry, the Empress Dowager ignored government affairs for many years and did not know the situation before she said that."

"But I have been to Khitan for a long time. When His Majesty invited me to assist your country's imperial examination, I did as well. Autumn is coming, and I will go back."

"Mr. Zheng, my lord admired your name for a long time in the Northern Dynasties, and was very happy to see you. Besides, the edict written by the Emperor of the Southern Dynasties also said that you would do things at a cheap price. This is also for the friendship between the two countries, not to fight, and benefit the people. Besides, you have not finished reading our Khitan four seasons. Why not go back to the south after the Nabo in spring next year?"

"Chun Nabo... I'm afraid I may not adapt to the cold in the north."

"Mr. Zheng, no matter how wronged you are, you can still freeze."

"Then it's limited."

"One word is certain, either come to my tent today to gather together, one is to suppress your shock. The other is to express your cultivation of your little girl."

"good."

Xiao Hui walked out with relief on her face.

Guo Kui was a little dazed.

Zheng Lang asked: "Zhongtong, what are you thinking?"

“I’m thinking about politics.”

"politics?"

"thick……"

"Political shameless, right?"

Guo Kui was inconvenient to answer, and this circle would bring Zheng Lang in.

Zheng Lang was not angry and said, "Politics is originally black and thick. He is black-hearted and shameless. But remember one thing: no matter how thick-hearted it is, don't forget the country and the people when you benefit yourself."

Guo Kui couldn't help laughing.

This scene made him feel a little moved. He had already tore his face apart, and both sides pretended that nothing had happened, including Zheng Lang. At this time, Zheng Lang's sacred status in his heart was severely reduced, but he had a sense of intimacy. Anyway, Zheng Lang was definitely not the kind of gentleman he thought.

After breathing a little relief, this pass passed by. Guo Kui took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Zheng, but it is still too shameful for our Song Dynasty."

"What I want is this kind of shame. Many people in the Song Dynasty are peaceful and peaceful. If they know their shame but don't be brave, the Song Dynasty will be more ambitious. A country without ambition is only waiting for the fate of destruction. Zhongtong, this time we come, we can see many places in the Khitan. You should also take a closer look. Are you afraid of being shy or not, what you are afraid of is that you don't know how to bring back this humiliating snow." Zheng Lang said, looking at the forest connected to the sky in the distance, although this trip is very dangerous. Once you succeed, you will add a good qualification to yourself.

When he returned, Zheng Lang had already begun to prepare to further improve the Song Dynasty!

This requires ability and prestige.

In the evening, he came to Xiao Hui's tent to drink. Liao Xingzong personally brought Yelu Hongji to cheer him up. He also asked Yelu Hongji to respect Zheng Lang with a glass of wine. The conversation was very pleasant, just pretending that things didn't happen during the day.

This made Guo Kui further realize the shamelessness of politics.

But since this day, it has been safe.

Until the end of Qiu Nabo, I had to change the place again. In October, I moved to Zhonghuichuan. I was afraid that my mother would be troubled, so Liao Xingzong simply put her mother in Zhongjing. It doesn’t matter to you. You can stay by yourself.

Without her mother's restraint, Liao Xingzong got another good news. Four women stayed by Zheng Lang's side, and the family was difficult to guard against. Zheng Lang was unable to defend against, so they asked them to steal Zheng Lang's seal, but it was the official seal, but not the steal, but the seal was struck on the paper, and a hundred pieces of paper were struck, and the seal was put back in the original place.

When Liao Xingzong saw these white papers with seals, he was overjoyed. With this thing, he could fake Zheng Lang's memorials and plan to surrender Zheng Lang would be twice the result with half the effort. He handed them over to Liu Liufu, writing articles, writing or writing.

In a happy mood, the Khitan ministers gathered to attend the banquet, and also called Zheng Lang and Guo Kui to attend the banquet.

Emperor Xingzong of Liao ordered all the ministers to drink wine, and the loser was punished to drink a giant bell, which had nothing to do with Zheng Lang. It was estimated that if this giant bell went down, Zheng Lang would not be able to distinguish between the east, west, south and north.

Yelu Hongji looked at Zheng Lang's expression and happily raised the giant goblet to demonstrate. It seems that this Han teacher has many things that are worse than him, such as archery and drinking.

Zheng Lang rolled his eyes.

The master and apprentice talked with each other with their eyes, but something happened to the banquet.

It was Yelu Yi, the envoy of Xuanhui of the Khitan Southern Court, who was the first to face the Northern Palace Prime Minister Xiao Ge. Yelu Yi, said comfortably: "Even if I cannot promote the virtuous and retreat unworthy, how can I be with the traitors?"

The conflict between these two people is quite similar to the conflict between Fan Zhongyan and Lu Yijian in the early years. Yelu Yixian was dissatisfied with Xiao Ge Xi Chong's autocracy and repeatedly advised Liao Xingzong, saying that Xiao Ge was cunning and flirting with chaos, and that one day he would make great use of it, he would ruin the country.

Zheng Lang turned his head and looked at Xiao Ge, what was his reaction?

Xiao Ge was embarrassed, but his head was very flexible, and he said, "Don't you feel too much when you make a public joke?"

This is just a joke.

Everyone has a way out.

Liao Xingzong nodded in praise. But he nodded, and Yelu Yi first came up again in anger and said, "Teith, who is joking with you?"

A big problem is here.

Liao Xingzong said: "You are drunk."

You drink too much and speak wine, and give another step. However, Yelu Yi was furious and scolded first, but he had no choice but to come forward and said, "Yi Yi was drunk first, and he was crazy when he was drunk. You can be cured if you wake up."

As he said that, he gave a wink and sent someone to force him out.

Zheng Lang whispered to Guo Kui: "The Virtuous Empress."

This pretty young woman is not simple. If it weren't for the little influence of the Khitan, she would be no less than that of Empress Changsun of the Tang Dynasty, Empress Ma of the Ming Dynasty and Empress Ma of the Ming Dynasty. However, she would not be able to let go of the power. None of Zhao Zhen and other concubines could match her, including Zhang and Empress Cao.

After Yelu Yi made a fuss, the banquet ended unhappily. The next day, it spread a lot. Emperor Xingzong of Liao said to Xiao Ge: "Yi first is rude. You should dismiss him."

Xiao Ge replied: "Yixian's talent, how can he escape the holy clerk? Everyone in the world knows that he is loyal and upright, and he is punished by drinking, and he is afraid that the world will be disappointed."

Liao Xingzong had even more appreciation for Xiao Ge in his eyes.

Suddenly, a cavalry came from afar and handed a letter to Liao Xingzong. Liao Xingzong opened it and saw it. His face changed drastically.

...

Xiao Nojin was placed under house arrest for nearly a month by his son and felt extremely humiliated. In anger, he sent his confidants to the courts of Hebei and spread news to the merchants of the Song Dynasty. He told the story in the original place. Zheng Lang had not been granted the Khitan official position, was isolated by the Khitan, sent a woman to sneak into Zheng Lang to find out the news, and the two of Yang and Wang betrayed him. Two or three guards successively bought the Khitan and told them all. Fortunately, Xiao Nojin didn't know about the stealing of the seal, so he did not publish it.

At this time, the people of the Song Dynasty were paying attention to Zheng Lang's fate, and all kinds of bad discussions caused various rumors among the people.

Zhao Zhen also knew that if this continued, it would have an impact on Zheng Lang's reputation, but if the truth could not be announced, it would not be possible to forcibly block the mouths of the people in the world.

But in the hearts of the people, they still don’t believe that Zheng Lang would do those things.

This news was released in a timely manner, faster than the joint efforts of Khitan and Jia Changchao to promote it at the beginning, and spread rapidly throughout the Song Dynasty.

In the real Song Dynasty, the real conservative and cowardly ones were the powerful nobles. The common people were not cowardly. The Ming Dynasty could be compared with the Song Dynasty. If the Ming Dynasty died, it would die without saying a word. However, the Northern Song Dynasty died and the northern uprising continued. When the Southern Song Dynasty died, there were still rebels in the rebels.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty fought with foreign enemies several times. There were often stories of the entire army being wiped out and there were no stories of the army surrendering.

From ordinary people to the scholars among the people, many people have power and blood, but this power and blood are suppressed by the court.

Xiao Nojin spread the truth. After hearing this, many people burned. Master, you are so disappointing. He gave him 500,000 yuan a year. For the sake of his eldest daughter, you will also have to make your subordinates suffer this great humiliation. Now there are so many dangers, why don’t you say anything?

First, many scholars wrote together, and the memorials written in the book were like snowflakes. There were hundreds or thousands of letters every day.

Zhao Zhen was relieved or smiled bitterly in the palace.

Zhao Zhen likes such ordinary people very much. If the people are timid, how can they deal with foreign enemies? But in this way, they are not doing good things, but doing bad things. Why is New Year's Day coming soon and this blocking thing happening?

He was thinking about countermeasures, and seeing that the court was indifferent and the public opinion was greater, many scholars and officials gradually participated. Then many scholars in the capital were buried outside Xuande Gate and asked the court to ask the imperial court to send envoys to negotiate strongly with the Khitan, and they must rescue Zheng Lang. If they did not return it, they would not give the 500,000-year-old monies. Even if the war started, what would the Khitans fear? What could they do to the Song Dynasty if they could not even defeat the Western Xia?

Finally caused the explosion of the dynasty meeting.

Many ministers have advised each other, Your Majesty, you cannot do this.

Zhao Zhen thought to himself, what did I do? When Zheng Lang was sent to the Khitan, you one of you didn’t know that there would be any danger? Why no one spoke? It turns out that I was a punching bag.

Jia Changchao stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that Zheng Lang is very dangerous at this time. Only negotiations are to prevent Zheng Lang from coming back, and he needs to use annual monies to threaten the Khitan."

How many ministers knew the truth? They thought Jia Changchao had a rare saying of justice, and they all agreed.

Zhao Zhen was helpless, and he was calculating the time in his mind. Zheng Lang said that he would have a way to leave the Khitan in February or three months later, but he stabilized his impetuous mood in the country. Now in the winter months, the snow is everywhere in the north, and it is difficult to walk. He can only return to the capital until the end of the first lunar month. However, by February, Zheng Lang had to fight for at least one month of buffering time. So he said, "Send envoys first to negotiate. If the Khitan does not let Zheng Qing come back, then discuss. What do you think is the right person to go on an envoy?"

Everyone, please continue to fight. It is best to fight for a month, and the time will be available. By the way, you can use the excuse of congratulating the Khitan New Year's Day.

Everyone introduced the envoys, and Zeng Gongliang was useless on his last mission and could no longer use them. So a new dispute arose. Seeing a few people quarrel, Zhao Zhen said: "Sanqian."

It has nothing to do with me, it is because the minister has not selected the candidates well. What should I do if I ask me to do?

In addition, he used some small tricks, and public opinion turned to the ministers in the court, believing that the ministers were incompetent.

Such a loud news also brought it back to the Khitan.

Liao Xingzong was so angry that he had to give orders that the people on the border should not speak nonsense, otherwise they would be killed without mercy, and warned Xiao Nojin's confidants. Whoever dared to speak nonsense would also kill them.

My mother had no choice but to intimidate these servants.
