A knife in love

Chapter 1946
Hearing what Feng Wei said, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, Master also told me about Song and Jin teaming up to attack the Liao Kingdom in the past.He was somewhat similar to what brother Qi said, thinking that the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty took advantage of the dangers of others and wanted to gain benefits, but they didn't know that this move was to lure wolves into the house and dig their own graves.The shame of Jingkang that led to the demise of the Song State has a great relationship with the signing of the "Sea Alliance" between the Song State and the Jin State. If the monarchs and ministers of the Song State were not bewitched by Zhao Liangsi and allied with the State of Jin, there would be no Jin army going south , Breaking the tragedy of Bianliang in Tokyo.But just now I heard Feng Wei quote Zhao Liangsi's idea for the king and ministers of the Song Dynasty, but there was nothing wrong with it.The rise of the Kingdom of Jin is bound to attack the Kingdom of Liao.At that time, the Liao State was so corrupt that it was powerless to fight against the Jin army.The Kingdom of Jin destroyed the Kingdom of Liao, and the sixteen prefectures of Youyun must be controlled by the Kingdom of Jin.The Jin army is more fierce than the Liao army. Once it goes south, it will definitely be destroyed, and the Song State must perish.Therefore, it would be a good move to take back Yanjing and Youyun Sixteen Prefectures first, and use the Great Wall as the boundary with the Kingdom of Jin.

When Li Qiufeng was thinking, he only heard Feng Wei continue to say: "Although I work in the imperial court, I am just a small official like sesame and mung bean. Naturally, I have no part to participate in such important matters as are related to the imperial court's war and peace. Mr. Zhao Liangsi and The process of the discussion between the emperor and his lords was later told by Mr. Zhao Liangsi when I was on an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin and I was leisurely on the big ship. He didn't take it to heart, and responded with a few words casually. A courtier entered the hall to report that a lotus flower suddenly bloomed in Genyue, which was auspicious from heaven. Please His Majesty the Emperor to go and watch it. Go. Lord Cai Jing has always followed the emperor's footsteps, and when he saw the emperor leaving the hall, he followed him.

"After the emperor and Lord Cai Jing left, the rest of the adults also chatted and laughed, and left casually. Only Lord Tong Guan remained in the hall. After the emperor and all the adults left, he asked Lord Zhao Liangsi about the Liao Kingdom in detail. Mr. Zhao Liangsi saw that the emperor and Mr. Cai Jing were not enthusiastic about his ideas, and he was very depressed. He thought that it was futile and useless for him to take the risk and come to see the emperor in Song Dynasty. At this time, Mr. Tong Guan asked him After questioning, there was some hope in my heart again, so I told the details of Liao Kingdom in detail.

"Master Tong Guan didn't say much after hearing this. He just asked Mr. Zhao Liangsi to go back to the mansion to rest. Mr. Zhao Liangsi was so disappointed that he had to retreat disgruntled. After he returned to the mansion, he originally thought that his trip was futile. He had no choice but to return to Khitan in disgrace. Unexpectedly, Lord Tong Guan sent someone to invite him to the mansion the next morning. He said immediately that the emperor had agreed to form an alliance with Jin and attack Liao. Little is known, since Master Zhao Liangsi raised the matter of forming an alliance, he must ask Master Zhao Liangsi to go to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy of Song to preside over the matter of forming an alliance.

"Master Zhao Liangsi was overjoyed when he heard Master Tong Guan's words. He bowed his head and swore to God that he would definitely handle this mission beautifully and live up to Master Tong Guan's entrustment. Master Tong Guan and Zhao Lord Liangsi discussed for a day and a night, and finalized the terms of the alliance with the Kingdom of Jin. Later, Lord Tong Guan asked me to accompany Lord Zhao Liangsi as a deputy envoy to Liaodong on a very secret mission."

Having said this, Feng Wei sighed, and then continued: "Master Tong Guan called me to the mansion, first he talked about the alliance with the Kingdom of Jin, I was shocked when I heard it, and I thought to myself After the Yuan Zhimeng, it has been more than a hundred years since there was no swordsmanship. It would be treacherous to attack the Liao Kingdom right now. It’s just that I speak lightly, and the court has already made a big plan. He didn't dare to make irresponsible remarks, but he could only show his loyalty to Lord Tong Guan, claiming that he would do his best to assist Lord Zhao Liangsi to handle this mission well.

"Master Tong Guan shook his head after hearing what I said, and said in his mouth, I heard that you are proficient in Huang Lao's art, and your martial arts are also very good. I don't know if it is true or not? I heard Master Tong Guan said so I was taken aback, thinking to myself that I really like to study Taoism, and I often hang out with Taoist priests on weekdays, reading Taoism books and refining alchemy. Could it be that someone secretly used this matter to frame me in front of Master Tong Guan? Here, I was breaking out in cold sweat, knelt down in front of Master Tong Guan and kowtowed a few times, begging him to forgive me for my wrongdoing."

When Feng Wei said this, Wang Xiaoyu sneered, and said in his mouth: "Tong Guan is a big treacherous minister. You are an official of the court, but you are so shameless in front of this treacherous minister!"

Li Qiufeng listened to Feng Wei's recounting of the past, and compared it with the past events he had heard from the previous dynasty. There were many differences, and his heart was filled with surprise and uncertainty.Just hearing Wang Xiaoyu accuse Feng Wei, Li Qiufeng was afraid that Feng Wei would be annoyed, so he quarreled with Wang Xiaoyu, which would inevitably cause trouble.So he hastily signaled with his eyes to ask Wang Xiaoyu not to talk nonsense, then he turned to Feng Wei and said, "What happened next?"

Although Feng Wei was reprimanded by Wang Xiaoyu, he didn't lose his temper this time. He just sighed and said, "Lord Tong Guan really doesn't have a good reputation. He is shrewd and likes gold and silver treasures. When he was in charge of the army, he pretended to be a leader of the army, so inside and outside the court, there were quite some criticisms about his official voice. But he is a high-ranking member of the court after all. He personally summoned a small official like me and said that I was not flattered. Lies. And when he spoke to me, his expression was very kind, which was completely different from the outside legends. He saw me kneeling and kowtowing, and knew that I was afraid, so he hurriedly helped me up, and said in his mouth that he liked Huang Lao's technique It’s not a crime, as long as you don’t use magic to harm people. The Emperor Zhenzong of this dynasty was familiar with Taoist scriptures, and he was almost half-immortal. So you don't have to be afraid.

"I heard what Master Tong Guan said, so I felt a little relieved. It's just that I don't know what Master Tong Guan asked about my study of Taoism and how it has anything to do with going to the Kingdom of Jin as an envoy. When I was wondering, Master Tong Guan continued to say , the Khitans were originally just barbarians and could not achieve much. When the Tang Dynasty was strong, the Khitans fled here and there, in a panic. Later, because of the Anshi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty declined, but although the situation of the Khitan people improved a lot, I dare not have the ambition to annex the Central Plains. I only hate Shi Jingtang, a big traitor, who actually ceded the sixteen prefectures of Youyun to the Khitans in order to become emperor. Since then, the Khitans have the advantage of the terrain, and the door of the Central Plains Dynasty has opened up. Fighting against each other, he already lost the upper hand, so he could only be passively beaten, suffering unspeakably. At the beginning of the founding of the Song Dynasty, Emperor Taizu was the emperor on horseback, and there were a group of tiger and wolf generals under his command. They fought against the Khitan people, but they did not fall behind. However, at that time, there were Liu Chong in the north, Li Yu in the south, and Meng Chang in the middle of Shu, so Emperor Taizu could not safely and boldly attack Khitan in the north. Therefore, he decided to flatten the middle of Shu and Jiangnan first, and then attack Liu Chong in the north. A big plan with the Khitan people. For more than ten years, with Cao Bin and Pan Mei as generals, he successively wiped out Meng Chang in the middle of Shu and Li Yu in the south of the Yangtze River. The Liu family in Taiyuan can only survive by relying on the Khitan people. , against Da Song."
