I was the richest man in Da Song

Chapter 64 is war and peace
Ever since He Shao offered his secret recipe and He Anwen was enshrined as imperial concubine, people from the palace often came to Dongpo Residence to pack some meals.

Dou En put down the food box on the cabinet and found He Shao.

"Most people know why they came here in person," He Shao asked with a smile.

"Things are not very good. It has been two days and now the court is arguing endlessly, and His Majesty has no idea. Liu Guiren asked me to ask if you have any opinions."

"What is the debate in the court? Even Liu Guiren can't make up his mind."

Liu E is not an ordinary person, and her talent is even higher than that of the emperor, so there are not many problems that can make her vacillate.

"It's not the national book of the Liao Kingdom brought by Sanning Dingge, the envoy of the Liao Kingdom. The first purpose of the credential is to ask for the collection of Guochao, and then invite some scholars to give lectures in Beijing. The second is to ask for tile bridges, Yijin, Yu "The Land of Three Passes"

"What's the trouble with this? The two conditions are naturally one agrees and the other refuses. It's that simple."

"Do you also think that we should refuse to ask for the Guochao Collection? Then cede the three passes?" Dou En asked.

"hold head high?"

Dou En's words confused He Shao and asked whether he was sick or he was sick.

"Wang Zhongcheng said that most of the books in the country are orphans, which are the essence of our Han people's thousand-year-old culture. If anyone lets it be passed on to the barbarian Rongdi tribes, it will be a blasphemy, and they will be sinners of our dynasty through the ages.

Emperor Taizu Taizong's Northern Expedition was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by the Liao Kingdom, and ceding the land of the three passes can comfort the Liao Kingdom's monarchs and ministers, and there will be no reason to send troops from now on. This is a long-term peace plan."

"Fuck? What kind of theory is this?"

Ceded three passes?He Shao's three views are all shattered!
Emperor Taizong failed three times in the Northern Expedition, and finally got the title of a sorghum river chariot god. The whole Song Dynasty was psychologically shadowed by the Liao people.Praise them for playing well?
Although He Shao knew that a covenant would be signed in the future, and the Chanyuan Covenant was not very glorious, it was signed after a war after all, which was very different from signing without a war at the negotiating table.

The purpose of ceding land and paying compensation is to defend the country, are you using the preservation of books to show that you still have the integrity of the Han people?Are these people out of their minds?

If Emperor Taizong had any idea under the spring, he would be so angry that he would come back to life and strangle these idiots in the court to death one by one.

"Originally, the matter in the court is not something that I, a merchant, can talk about, but this matter really goes against my cognition."

Dou En slandered secretly in his mind, don't you meddle in the affairs of the court?And it made the emperor and Liu E value it so much.

"Yun Niang"

He Shao called out, and Yunniang pushed the screen aside and came out from behind.

"Young Master, what do you want from me?"

"Get your pen and ink ready and write something for me"

If it weren't for his own handwriting, He Shao really wanted to write this Qiangu Huahan by himself.

"The collapse of the six kingdoms is not a disadvantage of soldiers, and the battle is not good. The disadvantage is bribing Qin. bribing Qin and losing strength is the way to ruin."

This Theory of the Six Kingdoms was forced to memorize by the teacher back then, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

The ancients said: "If the land is the Qin Dynasty, you still hold the salary to put out the fire. If the salary is not exhausted, the fire will not be extinguished." This is true.

Gou Yitianxia is so big, and the story of the ruin from the Six Kingdoms is under the Six Kingdoms again.

After finishing writing, He Shao dried up the ink and handed it to Dou En.

"I think the imperial concubine should be able to understand the pros and cons"

Liao hoped to get what they did not get on the battlefield at the negotiating table.

Li Hang also followed He Shao's suggestion. Although he did not have any contact with Liu E, he also avoided the same tit-for-tat confrontation as before. support.

Otherwise, if Li Hang insisted on Liu E's identity and background, Liu E's promotion would definitely not be so easy.

Dou En even turned to Liu E directly and one-sidedly, and now he seems to have become Liu E's confidant.

The emperor allowed Dou En to submit He Shao's memorial directly to the imperial court, and He Shao's Theory of the Six Kingdoms appeared in the emperor's dragon case that night.

But nothing happened for several days in a row, and there was no news or reply.

Regardless of whether it was in the Han Dynasty or the Tang Dynasty, the person who made such a request would be killed first and then cut to pieces. His house would be demolished, his land occupied, his son killed, his wife remarried, and then released by himself. Herding sheep and planting land became a difficult matter in the Song Dynasty.

When Dongpoju was about to close the shop, a carriage stopped in front of the shop, and Dou En got out of the carriage in casual clothes.

"Miss Yunniang, where is He Shao?"

Yun Niang is also quite familiar with Dou En, seeing him in such attire, she naturally has important matters and dare not delay them.

When He Shao came to the quiet room and saw the person sitting in the main seat, he hurriedly turned away from the left and right, and asked He Si to guard the door, even Yun Niang could not enter.

"Xiaomin met Liu Guiren"

"Don't be restrained, just sit where you want," Liu E said.

"I don't know what orders Liu Guiren has given so late at night?" He Shao had already vaguely guessed something.

"Look at this"

Liu E took out a decree from his sleeve, He Shao opened it and frowned when he saw it, it turned out to be a decree to dismiss the prime minister.

In addition to dismissing Li Hang and ordering him to supervise the compilation of national history, Wang Qinruo was temporarily in charge of the political affairs hall, and the hard-line privy envoy Xiang Minzhong was dismissed and Kou Zhun took over.

Has Zhao Heng lost his mind?He Shao cursed secretly in his heart, what is this called, surrendering to others without fighting yourself?
"Liu Guiren, although I have never been an official, I do know something about the imperial court. Now, the old ministers of the former dynasty led by my husband and the newcomers of the imperial examination headed by Wang Qinruo are fighting openly and secretly. My husband is lenient and restrained. There was no major disturbance.

If you give up your prime minister and choose someone else as your prime minister, if you don't have my husband's kindness, there will be a court strife in an instant, and the Yin Jian will not be far away in the world of Empress Xia."

"You mean partisanship?"

Although there were some attacks between Wang Qinruo and Li Hang, Liu E really didn't expect that there was already a sign of party struggle.

He Shao, who has a God's perspective, knows that the party struggle in Zhenzong's first dynasty was just beginning, but it became more and more intense in Renzong's dynasty, and some words are exhausted, especially when facing a smart person like Liu E.

"What do you think of my Theory of the Six Kingdoms?" He Shao tried his best to keep his expression unchanged.

"Your Majesty only said three words, very literary."

"Dedicating land before a battle has never existed in ancient times. Don't the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty understand this truth?"

"Wang Qinruo is in a high position, do you think he is an idiot? This man is a master of psychological manipulation. Even the first emperor knew that His Majesty has a lenient character, so he picked up veterans like Xiang Minzhong and Wu Bingzheng who had been with the army many times. court.

Wang Qinruo had expected that His Majesty would not be willing to be an enemy of the Liao Kingdom, and the resurgence of swords would cause the people of the two countries to be displaced, so he insisted on ceding the three passes.

Wang Qinruo, who caters to the favor of the lord, can use this to ascend to the throne, and secondly, even if the Liao people backtrack, we still have enough military power to retake the three passes, save the lost land and the land, and your majesty also feels that Wang Qinruo is right," Liu E said.

He Shao also understood the importance of these three levels. It can be said that no matter which side of Song and Liao owns these three levels, they can have the right to take the initiative, that is, they can hold the key to the war in their own hands.

"Especially the Tang newspaper that came from Sanguan today. Now that the Liao Kingdom is preparing for war, it made His Majesty make up his mind. If Li Han doesn't dismiss his prime minister from Minzhong, there will be no peace talks between the two countries."

He Shao slandered in his heart, what kind of benevolence, cowardice is cowardice.

"Actually, Your Majesty, my husband, and Wang Qinruo have all forgotten one key point, that is, whether Song and Liao can fight or win. In fact, the people who are most sure are not these people in the court."

He Shao suddenly thought of someone, and Liu E immediately understood.

"Yang Yanzhao!"

"I will find a way to ward Tianbo Mansion"

The Song Dynasty emphasized civility over military affairs to such an extent that wars were determined entirely by the civil officials in the court, and they never cared about the most authoritative generals on the battlefield.
