Chapter 744 Divorce Letter (Please Subscribe!)
...

After more than a month of negotiations, China and the Song Dynasty have reached a lot of consensus.

For example, the south of the two countries takes the Yangtze River as the national border—the north of the Yangtze River is owned by Dazhong, and the south of the Yangtze River and the north of Hainan Island are east to the sea (the west has not yet been determined, which is also one of the focuses of the Sino-Song competition) For Song soil.

For example, the State of Song was a vassal state of Dazhong, which paid tribute to Dazhong every year and came to court every year.

For another example, Dazhong can canonize Zhao Gou as the Lord of Song Dynasty.

However, the two sides did not reach an agreement more.

For example, Dazhong agreed to use the Yangtze River as the national border in the south, but Jiangdong (the area around the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, including the later Shanghai) must belong to Dazhong, but the Southern Song Dynasty insisted that Jiangdong should not be given to Dazhong on the grounds that most of Jiangdong was in Jiangnan. .

For example, Dazhong insisted on Shaanxi and insisted on taking Cangshan-Daba Mountain as the national boundary in the west, but the Southern Song Dynasty insisted on taking Dashanguan as the national boundary in the west, that is, only half of Shaanxi was given to Dazhong, and they would not let go.

For example, Dazhong insisted that Dazhong and Southern Song Dynasty were the country of father and son, that Dazhong was the father, and Southern Song Dynasty was the son. Zhao Gou could call Li Yan his father, but Southern Song Dynasty insisted that Zhao Gou could only call Li Yan his uncle.

For another example, Dazhong could canonize Zhao Gou as the Lord of Song Dynasty, but he could only canonize Zhao Gou as the King of Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gou could not be called the emperor, but the Southern Song Dynasty insisted that Zhao Gou must be called the emperor.

As for the amount of old coins, the two sides did not have a big dispute. It can also be said that at this stage, the two sides have not taken this little matter into consideration.

The negotiation strategy adopted by Dazhong is to negotiate and fight at the same time.

In other words, Bianliang City should talk, and Yang Yizhong should fight.

Let's put it this way, Dazhong now has the intention of not talking about it if he plays well on the battlefield.

The Southern Song Dynasty couldn't bear Dazhong's way of talking.

Now, Li Cheng and Zhong Xiang became more and more aggressive as they became more leisurely, and even made Zhao Gou a little bit anxious.

After Yang Yizhong locked Chuzhou, he continued to attack Jinling southward.

Zhao Gou was forced to have no choice but to transfer Zhang Jun, who was suppressing Li Cheng and Zhong Xiang, back to resist Yang Yizhong.

During this period, Yang Yizhong and Zhang Jun fought seven battles in a row in the Gaoyou area.

These seven battles are more thrilling each time.

The most thrilling time, Yang Yizhong almost wiped out Zhang Jun and all his troops.

Zhao Gou's heart was so scared that Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan, Qin Hui and others hurriedly urged Zhao Mingcheng to negotiate a peace quickly, and the Chinese army must be stopped as soon as possible.

However, on the other hand, although the Southern Song Dynasty wanted Zhao Mingcheng to negotiate peace with Dazhong as soon as possible, he never let go of the terms of the peace negotiation.

Speaking of which, this is also impossible.

The bottom line of the peace negotiation was given by Zhao Gou.

Moreover, Zhao Gou's attitude is very firm now.

In addition, on the matter of returning to Zhao Gou's family, it was already a deadlock, and there was no talk at all.

This made Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan, Qin Hui and others dare to make concessions without authorization?

As a result, Zhao Mingcheng was under great pressure.

In addition, there was another matter that made Zhao Mingcheng a little breathless.

The thing is, the stories of Li Yan and Li Qingzhao are being passed down in the streets and alleys of Bianliang City, and they have noses and eyes. It is said that Li Qingzhao went south to find his husband, passed by Bianliang City, and happened to meet someone who cultivated sweet potatoes and corn by himself. Li Yan, the two hit it off right away, and then Li Yan arranged for his good friend Li Qingzhao to live in another courtyard of his own. Not long after, Li Qingzhao suddenly heard that Zhao Mingcheng had abandoned the city and fled, and was disappointed in Zhao Mingcheng. Li Yan continued to comfort Li Qingzhao as a friend , As a result, the two fell in love for a long time, breaking through the ethical barriers...

As one of the parties involved, and appeared in the story with a dishonorable identity, and was rumored to be Li Yanlu, no matter how big Zhao Mingcheng's heart was, it was hard to let go, even though he had been trying his best to avoid Li Qingzhao all the time.

but--

Unlike Zhao Mingcheng, other negotiators see a hope to break the deadlock in the current negotiations.

Don't gossip.

After other negotiators talked with Zhao Mingcheng several times, Zhao Mingcheng finally decided to sacrifice himself for the sake of the country's righteousness and seek to see Li Qingzhao.

After several twists and turns, the husband and wife met again in the living room of another courtyard.

After this meeting, not only Zhao Mingcheng, but even Li Qingzhao deliberately kept a distance from each other, and the relationship between husband and wife in the past was gone.

After being silent for a long time, Li Qingzhao took the lead to break the deadlock and said, "Why did you abandon the city and run away? Do you know that this matter will ruin your reputation forever?"

What Li Qingzhao said was a bit like a mother hating her son for not living up to expectations.

But Zhao Mingcheng didn't think there was anything wrong with Li Qingzhao's tone, as if Li Qingzhao should talk to Zhao Mingcheng like this.

Zhao Mingcheng faltered and said: "At that time...the situation was too urgent at that time, I was worried...I was worried that those rebels would be red-eyed, so...one of them couldn't hold back, and escaped from the back window, and then...then..."

At this point, Zhao Mingcheng couldn't continue talking.

Hearing the words, Li Qingzhao sighed slightly, and said: "Forget it, let it pass by. In the future, you should be more diligent, do more things that benefit the country and the people, and get back the lost Qingming."

Hearing Li Qingzhao let go, Zhao Mingcheng heaved a sigh of relief, and then followed Li Qingzhao's words and said, "I'm here to ask you something for the country and the people."

Li Qing followed suit and said, "What's the matter?"

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Mingcheng hesitantly said: "Can you...can you...can you help Da Song say something nice to His Majesty the Emperor Dazhong, so that Dazhong can make concessions on the peace negotiation?"

As soon as Zhao Mingcheng said this, Li Qingzhao's face turned red all of a sudden, extremely embarrassing!
Seeing this, Zhao Mingcheng hurriedly said, "I...I...I don't blame you, you found happiness, I'm happy for you...for you...for you."

While saying this, Zhao Mingcheng took out a neatly folded piece of paper from his pocket and put it on the table between them, and said, "This is a gift from me."

In order to ease his embarrassment, Li Qingzhao picked up the piece of paper and unfolded it.

Li Qingzhao's hand couldn't help shaking after seeing the word "Suspension Letter"!
but--

Soon, Li Qingzhao regained his composure, then folded the divorce papers and put them on the table, then pushed the divorce papers back to Zhao Mingcheng, saying, "I don't need this."

joke!

Li Yan said that Zhu Lian and Xing Bingyi, the two queens before and after Zhao and Song Dynasties, would take it, let alone Li Qingzhao?
Zhao Mingcheng understood what Li Qingzhao meant, and quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, it's better for you, after all, it's about your reputation..."

After hearing the words, Li Qingzhao said, "Then I will thank you."

Zhao Mingcheng said: "There's no need to say thank you between you and me."

After hesitating for a while, Zhao Mingcheng said again: "Well... if the two countries can coexist peacefully, it will be the greatest blessing for the common people in the world..."

Li Qingzhao was silent for a while, and said: "He is an outstanding person through the ages, how could he listen to a woman's words?"

Hearing that Li Qingzhao personally admitted her relationship with Li Yan in disguise, Zhao Mingcheng couldn't help feeling aching, bitter, and astringent. In short, after hearing Li Qingzhao's words, Zhao Mingcheng felt very uncomfortable!

But at the same time, Zhao Mingcheng also noticed that Li Qingzhao let go.

Zhao Mingcheng quickly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and said: "Do your best to obey the destiny. If you have fought for the common people, it is considered good."

Li Qingzhao was silent for a while, then said: "Okay then, I will find a chance to talk to him."

Seeing that Li Qingzhao agreed, Zhao Mingcheng let go of his heart, then got up, and said, "Then I won't bother you anymore, and I will leave."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Mingcheng got up and walked out—with the intention of running away!

It can be seen from this that the short conversation just now put a lot of pressure on Zhao Mingcheng.

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao couldn't help feeling a little bit bitter, and said to himself, "Am I that scary?"

Looking at Zhao Mingcheng's back, the distance between the two is getting farther and farther...

suddenly!

Zhao Mingcheng stopped!

Seeing this, Li Qingzhao stood up expectantly...
