Monument Yangmen

Chapter 638 Liao envoys enter Bianjing

Shen Lun was upright and upright all his life, and had an excellent reputation in the officialdom, but unexpectedly he raised a son of a hypocrite.

This hit Shen Lun very hard.

In comparison, the treacherous Zhao Guangyi was far luckier than Shen Lun.

He has a good son.

In the imperial palace, in the sleeping hall.

The second prince knelt in front of Zhao Guangyi's dragon bed, holding a handkerchief in his hand, carefully wiping Zhao Guangyi's palms.

Chen Lin, who was waiting on the sidelines, and other eunuchs, Gong'e, looked at the second prince with respect at the moment.

A prince, when the emperor was in a coma, did not feel disgusted instead, but carefully served the emperor to clean up.

This is enough to show that the second prince is a good and filial son.

"Father, after the emperor found out that you were unconscious, he was very worried about you and wanted to see you. I don't know if the father would like to see the emperor, but I know that the emperor has been thinking about the emperor.

So the son-in-law made the decision and asked someone to invite the emperor brother to come to see you in the palace.

I hope you don't blame Erchen..."

The second prince whispered in Zhao Guangyi's ear.

Under the circumstances that Zhao Guangyi was in danger of dying at any time, he could still think about letting a person who was the most threatening to his throne approach Zhao Guangyi.

This is enough to prove that the brotherhood between the Second Prince and the First Prince is sincere.

Zhao Guangyi seemed to be moved, and his fingers trembled slightly.

The second prince was helping Zhao Guangyi wipe his palms, so he could feel it naturally.

He took Zhao Guangyi's hand in surprise, "Father, you heard what my son said, right?"

This time, Zhao Guangyi didn't react at all.

This made the second prince happy.

"Doctor, come and see my royal father."

The second prince greeted the imperial doctor who was waiting in the bedroom to give Zhao Guangyi a diagnosis and treatment.

After taking Zhao Guangyi's pulse, the imperial doctor cupped his hands and said to the second prince, "Your Majesty's pulse is gradually recovering, but there is no sign of waking up. The Second Highness said just now that when you were talking to His Majesty, His Majesty reacted. So my humble minister Suggestion, Second Highness should talk to His Majesty more, maybe His Majesty will wake up soon."

"Thank you, Imperial Doctor!"

After the second prince thanked the imperial doctor, he took Zhao Guangyi's hand and said, "Father, my son mentioned the emperor's brother just now, and you reacted. You also want to see the emperor's brother, don't you? My son will send someone to tell the emperor." Brother."

The eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, after getting the approval of the second prince.

Leaving the palace, to send the First Prince an audience.

Not long after, the First Prince, dressed in plain clothes, hurried to the bedroom.

As soon as he entered the sleeping hall, looking at the unconscious Zhao Guangyi on the dragon bed, the eldest prince burst into tears like rain.

"Father!"

The eldest prince knelt on the ground, weeping, and threw himself at Zhao Guangyi.

The eldest prince was imprisoned for a long time, and he looked a little haggard.

The eldest prince rushed to the edge of Zhao Guangyi's dragon bed, grabbed Zhao Guangyi's hand, and howled.

"Father!"

The eldest prince cried: "Father, wake up, it was my son who made you angry in the past. I swear, I will never make you angry again. Wake up!"

The eldest prince's feelings are sincere.

This is in line with his character, frank, straightforward, upright, and undisguised.

Sincere temperament, always easy to impress others.

The second prince also twitched.

The eunuchs and maids also burst into tears in an instant.

It was like howling.

Although it was a bit unlucky, no one stopped it.

The second prince rushed over and hugged the eldest prince, crying: "Father will definitely wake up, definitely wake up..."

The First Prince wiped away his tears and nodded.

At this moment, the little eunuch who was on duty in the Chuigong Hall hurried into the hall.

The little eunuch leaned on Chen Lin and whispered something in Chen Lin's ear.

Chen Lin was obviously stunned. He wiped away his tears, moved to the side of the second prince, choked up and said, "Second Highness, Li Fang, who is in charge of peace, and Bi Shi'an, who is in charge of politics, please see me."

The second prince was obviously displeased, he raised his head and said, "What's the matter?"

Chen Lin hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "The envoys of the Liao people have arrived in Bianjing..."

"Liao people?"

The second prince was obviously taken aback, then frowned.

The envoys of the Liao people have never had any good things when they came to Bianjing.

The second prince wiped away his tears, and said to the eldest prince: "Brother Huang, you stay here to guard Father, I'll go out and have a look."

Afterwards, the second prince wore a python robe and a jade belt, and led by Chen Lin, entered the Chui Gong Hall.

"Li Aiqing, Bi Aiqing, the envoys from the Liao people are here, do you have something important to do?"

The second prince entered the Chuigong Hall, and before he sat on the dragon chair, he opened his mouth to ask questions.

"Minister Li Fang!"

"Chen Bi Shi'an!"

"See Your Highness..."

After saluting, Li Fang said solemnly: "Reporting to Your Highness, the Liao people's envoys went south for the Tongtaiguan..."

The second prince frowned and clenched his fists, "Why is it Tongtai Pass again?"

Bi Shi'an said with a bitter face, "Yes, it's Tongtai Pass again."

"What do the Liao people want?"

The second prince asked.

Li Fang and Bi Shi'an looked at each other, and Li Fang said: "The Liao envoy said that our soldiers from the Great Song Dynasty invaded the territory of the Liao Kingdom. This is a provocation. They asked us to give them a satisfactory answer.

Otherwise, after the spring of this year, the 50 troops of the Liao Kingdom will go south to ask the Song Dynasty for justice. "

"50 troops?"

The second prince was taken aback, and asked anxiously: "What should I do..."

"You two lovers, do you have any countermeasures?"

Li Fang cupped his hands and said, "I think that I should meet with the Liao envoys, find out their real purpose, and then think about countermeasures."

The second prince was very hesitant, he said in a difficult way: "Then let's meet..."

"It is said that the envoys of the Liao Kingdom have an audience."

After a while, the envoys of the Liao Kingdom entered the Chuigong Hall under the leadership of the eunuch.

There are quite a few envoys from the Liao Kingdom, but there are only a few three or five who are really qualified to enter the Chuigong Palace.

The Liao envoy headed by him was named Yelu Langzheng, a member of the royal family of the Liao Kingdom.

"You are Emperor Song?"

Yelu Langzheng confronted the second prince directly and questioned him, appearing very rude.

"presumptuous!"

Li Fang glared at each other and roared loudly, "Why didn't you salute when you saw me facing Your Highness?"

"Your Highness?"

Yelu Langzheng glanced at the second prince, and laughed uncontrollably: "It turns out that you are not Emperor Song, but just a prince."

Yelu Langzheng put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "He is also a member of the royal family, why should I salute him? If I salute him, will he salute me?"

"you!"

Li Fang was about to curse immediately.

The second prince put on a bitter face, and comforted him: "Li Aiqing, forget it. Don't quarrel over such meaningless things."

The second prince appeared weak when facing the Liao people.

Although Li Fang was dissatisfied, he had to obey the second prince's wishes.

"Humph!"

Li Fang snorted coldly at Yelu Langzheng, expressing his dissatisfaction.

Yelu Langzheng didn't care about this, and looked at Li Fang provocatively.

"The envoy of the Liao Kingdom came to visit suddenly, what's the matter?"

The second prince asked.

Yelu Langzheng cupped his hands towards the northeast, "I have ordered the Empress Dowager Daliao to come to Song to ask a question."

"What's the matter?"

Yelu Langzheng stared at the second prince coldly, and said coldly: "Song Guo wants to start a war?"

The second prince pretended to be confused, pretending to be confused, and asked in surprise, "Why did the envoy of Liao say such a thing?"

Yelu Langzheng smiled sarcastically and said, "You don't have to pretend to be in front of me. In the middle of last year's winter, the army of Song State invaded our Liao Kingdom, killed our Liao people, plundered our Liao Kingdom's cattle and sheep, and broke through our Liao Kingdom's Tongtai. pass, and killed our Liao soldiers.

I don't believe you don't know about the above-mentioned evil deeds. "

Yelu Langzheng stared at the second prince, and said sharply: "You are instigating war by doing this. I am the king of the Southern Court, Yeluxiu, and I have assembled 50 soldiers and horses, ready to go south at any time.

If the State of Song does not give us a satisfactory explanation, at the beginning of spring this year, it will be the time when the 50 iron hoofs of the Liao Kingdom will break through the Central Plains. "

Bi Shi'an took a step, approached Yelu Langzheng, and said coldly: "If you dare to go further south, my Great Song Heavenly Army will crush you to pieces."

"Scaring me?"

Yelu Langzheng had no fear, "I'm not scared. Since you, Song, don't want to give us Daliao an explanation, then we Daliao can only use the sword in our hands to take it ourselves."

Yelu Langzheng cast a cold glance at Li Fang and Bi Shi'an.

"Let the people and soldiers of your Song Kingdom wash their necks and wait. Two months later, our Daliao Cavalry will definitely crush your Song Kingdom."

After leaving this ruthless sentence, Yelu Langzheng turned around and walked out of the hall.

Very tough attitude.

"Liao envoy wait a moment..."

Li Fang asked Yelu Langzheng to stay.

This is also impossible.

The Liao Kingdom is confident, but it does not mean that the Song Dynasty is also confident.

Zhao Guangyi is now unconscious, and the second prince has not ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.

Once a war breaks out, the court will definitely be unstable.

At that time, someone will definitely take the opportunity to make trouble.

The Great Song Dynasty is very likely to be precarious, or even destroyed.

The Liao Kingdom obviously understood this, so they were confident.

Even though Bi Shi'an was unwilling, he did not say anything to stop Li Fang from keeping Yelu Langzheng.

He also knows that it is not appropriate for Da Song to start a war now.

"What else?"

Yelu Langzheng turned his head and asked coldly.

Li Fang gritted his teeth and asked humiliatingly, "I don't know what kind of explanation Liao needs?"

"Ha ha……"

Yelu Langzheng laughed mockingly: "Aren't you not afraid of war? Why? Are you afraid?"

Bi Shi'an said coldly: "Da Song has never been afraid of war, nor is he afraid of any powerful enemies. However, my Da Song is a state of etiquette, not barbarians like you, and everything is naturally convinced by reason.

If you are reasonable, it doesn't matter if I, Da Song, let you have a point.If you are unreasonable, fight as you want. "

Yelu Langzheng did not hide the disdain on his face, "If you are afraid, you are afraid. You Song people are really hypocritical."

Bi Shi'an's face was flushed and he was furious.

In order to prevent the two from continuing to fight, Li Fang coughed lightly, and hurriedly said, "What kind of explanation do you want?"

Yelu Langzheng glared at Bi Shi'an, and said loudly: "First of all, you, the Song Kingdom, must hand over the murderer who invaded our Daliao. Secondly, you must compensate our Daliao for the loss. And..."

Yelu Langzheng said proudly: "My Emperor Daliao, I have always been short of a maid. I think your Song princess is pretty good."

Bi Shi'an frowned tightly, clenched his fists, and gritted his teeth, obviously extremely angry.

Li Fang moved a little in front of Bi Shi'an, held Bi Shi'an's hand in a subtle way, and reminded in a low voice, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big conspiracy... Today's Great Song Dynasty cannot stand a big war..."

"It's so deceiving, I wish I could strangle him to death with my own hands..."

Bi Shian growled in a low voice.

Yelu Langzheng saw that Bi Shi'an was holding back his anger, and he challenged, "Do you agree?"

Bi Shian trembled angrily.

While appeasing Bi Shi'an, Li Fang asked Yelu Langzheng, "I don't know how much compensation you want from the Liao Kingdom?"

In Li Fang's view, whether it is handing over the murderer to the Liao State or marrying the princess to the Liao State, it is acceptable.

On the contrary, Liao's compensation is the top priority.

Yelu Langzheng raised a finger and said calmly: "1000 million taels..."

The second prince, Li Fang, and Bi Shi'an shrank their pupils.

1000 million taels?
The lion speaks up!
Big appetite.

There is not even 100 million taels of silver in the treasury.

Where are they going to get 1000 million taels for Liao?

Li Fang frowned, and said in a deep voice, "1000 million taels...too much...impossible! It seems that the Liao Kingdom has no sincerity to talk about things at all!"

Yelu Langzheng knew that Da Song couldn't afford so much money, he was just asking for prices.

Yelu Langzheng smiled and said: "No, no, no! Our Daliao is very sincere. My Empress Dowager Daliao knows that the Song Kingdom can't afford so much money, so money can be discussed."

"How to negotiate?"

Yelu Langzheng chuckled, "If Song Guo can hand over the head of the Yang family, I, Daliao, can take nothing."

"Sigh~"

The second prince and the three gasped.

Hand over the head of the Yang family?

What a joke!
Right now Yang Qi is sitting in the northwest, according to the news that Yang Qi has more than 20 troops under his command.

He wanted to take the head of the Yang family.

It is tantamount to a battle with the 50 army of the Liao Kingdom.

Moreover, when the Song Dynasty and Yang Qi were fighting each other, the Liao Kingdom would most likely sit on the sidelines and reap the benefits.

Therefore, this condition cannot be agreed at all.

Bi Shi'an couldn't bear it anymore, he shouted in a cold voice: "You Liao Kingdom wants the head of the Yang family, go ahead and get it. Why should I, Da Song, do it?"

Yelu Langzheng never expected Da Song to agree to this matter from the very beginning.

He just said it casually.

What if there is a miracle?

Yelu Langzheng spread his hands, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, "Then there is no other way, 1000 million taels can't be less."

The second prince panicked and looked at Li Fang.

Li Fang narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Nothing to talk about?"

Yelu Langzheng was going to let go, but he wanted to frighten the second prince and the three of them a little more, so he straightened his face immediately.

"no!"

Yelu Langzheng stared at the three of them, and said loudly: "One point less, my Daliao cavalry will go south."

The second prince looked at Li Fang anxiously, "Li Aiqing, what should I do?"

Li Fang glanced at the second prince, and said in a low voice: "As a last resort, I can only move the sealing pile..."

The three words of the pile seal library have not yet been said.

A deep voice was heard from the apse.

"Then fight!"
