Chapter 177 Song, Liaoxia Peace Talks ([-])

"I am back!"

In Fan's residence, Fan Zheng pushed open the door of Fan's house and shouted.

Suddenly,

The entire Fan Mansion boiled.

"Master is back!"

"The young master has returned in triumph!"

After hearing the news, all the members of the Fan family rushed over to greet Fan Zheng one by one.

Fan Zheng was proudly enjoying the compliments from everyone in the Fan residence, when suddenly there was a chill behind him, and he turned around stiffly, only to see his mother Ma Shi standing behind him with a face full of frost.

"Mother! The baby is back."

Fan Zheng put away his complacency immediately, and said with a guilty expression.

Fan Zheng knew that his mother had never asked him too much, and only wanted to grow up safely.

However, he has never made Mrs. Ma feel at ease. Whether it's abandoning her studies to pursue a medical career, making a private decision with Li Qingzhao for life, or helping Zhao Xu force the palace to be in charge of the palace, and this expedition to Pingxia City, she is always on tenterhooks.

However, the punishment Fan Zheng had imagined did not come, Ma Shi hugged him into his arms, as precious as lost and found.

"Mother knows that you have grown up and have great ambitions, but don't you want to take such risks again in the future?" Madam Ma said distressedly looking at Fan Zheng with a frosty face.

"The child understands!"

Fan Zheng did not refute, but nodded obediently.

Conscious of being ashamed of his mother, Fan Zheng stayed with his mother for several days in Fan's house to make up for the two months of missing her.

"Master! The Xixia envoy has arrived."

Fan Steward came to convey the news from the Ministry of Rites, and Fan Zheng was shocked.

"The Xixia envoy came so fast!"

Fan Zheng frowned, Xixia came so impatiently, maybe it was a fox pretending to be a tiger, and cooperating with Liao to force Song to submit.

At that moment, Fan Zheng rushed to the Ministry of Rites immediately.

"Fan Zheng, Prime Minister of Honghe Temple, has met Master Su!" Honglu Temple is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, so Fan Zheng must first meet with Minister of Rites Su Shi when he came to report on his duties.

Su Shi was naturally very familiar with Fan Zheng, so he waved his hand and said, "Nephew Su Xian, don't be too polite, I'm here to introduce you to a colleague!"

"Cai Bian met Master Fan!"

The middle-aged official on the side cupped his hands.

"Cai Bian!"

Fan Zheng frowned, disbelieving Cai Bian on the opposite side.

For the well-known backbone of the new party in later generations, he has been famous for a long time.

"Lord Cai has just been transferred to the capital this time, serving as the minister of the Ministry of Rites. He has read history books and is proficient in the affairs of the Western Regions. The imperial court specially appointed him as a deputy envoy to assist you in the peace talks with Liaoxia!" Su Shi said.

Fan Zheng couldn't help sighing, but about two months after leaving Beijing, there were actually many new party members in the court, which showed that the power of the new party had grown rapidly.

According to the original historical trajectory, after Cai Bian returned to Beijing, he was originally the Minister of the Ministry of Rites. However, the appearance of Fan Zheng caused a bifurcation in history. Take control of the big killer Dibao.

Even if Cai Bian returns, he can only be inferior.

"Lord Cai's official position is higher than Fan's, how dare you let Master Cai be the deputy envoy." Fan Zheng shook his head and said, Cai Bian's minister of rites is the fourth rank, and Fan Zheng's Honglu temple minister is the fifth rank, this is against the official rules.

"Your Majesty Fan, you are welcome. Sir Fan's idea of ​​reopening the Silk Road is very good. If this strategy is feasible, it will not only embarrass the Song Dynasty by abolishing the old currency, but also fetter the Liao Kingdom. I am willing to help." Cai Bian shook his head.

"Thank you Master Cai for your help!"

Fan Zheng saluted solemnly. He had to say that although the New Party produced many treacherous ministers, there were indeed many passionate people who contributed to it. No wonder they were able to regroup and return to court.

Now the two set off together to meet with the Liaoxia envoys.

The negotiations between Song, Xia and Liao officially began.

"Miraculous doctor Fan, it's been a long time!" Yelu Nanyin couldn't help being surprised by Fan Zheng, the main envoy of the peace talks in Song Dynasty.

"You are Fan Zheng, the Pingxia city supervisor!"

The envoy of the Liao Kingdom was named Ah Wu, and when he heard that the chief envoy of the Song Dynasty was Fan Zheng, the military supervisor of Pingxia City, his enemies were extremely jealous when they met.

"Who am I? It turned out to be the defeated general under the Pingxia city."

Naturally, Fan Zheng had known about the arrival of Wei Ming Wu, and said contemptuously.

"The defeated general? How dare you fight this old man with a sword and a gun."

Wu, whose name is Wei, said angrily.

Fan Zheng sneered and said, "Can you bear Fan's thunderstorm?"

When the envoys of Song and Xia countries met, the atmosphere was full of gunpowder, and the high-end negotiations between the great powers of the world were so simple and unpretentious.

Seeing this, Cai Bian couldn't help but smile knowingly, this famous evil doctor Fan Zheng had given him quite a few surprises from the very beginning.

Yelu Nanyin stared blankly at this scene, the tall image of the evil doctor Fan Zheng collapsed in her heart.

"My lords, don't quarrel. The three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Xia gathered together for peace talks, not for renewed disputes!" Yelu Nanyin said helplessly.

Fan Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Fan will naturally give Princess Yelu face, and Da Song is willing to have peace talks with Xixia."

Wu, who was named Wu, went down the donkey and said, "Xixia agrees to the peace talks, but the Song Dynasty must restore the old currency. Xixia doesn't want much, as long as the old currency during the Shenzong period is restored."

Wu, whose name is Wei, looked condescending, as if as long as he wanted the old coin, it was like a kind of gift.

"The Liao Kingdom agrees, and I also hope that the Song Kingdom will value peace." The deputy envoy of the Liao Kingdom chimed in.

Fan Zheng sneered and said, "Da Song agrees to the peace talks, but the Xixia Sui currency must be abolished."

"The State of Song is deceiving people too much!" Wei Ming Ah Wu said angrily.

The envoys of the Liao Kingdom were immediately dissatisfied, and the Liao Kingdom personally mediated, and the Song Kingdom was too ignorant of flattery.

Yelu Nanyin frowned and said: "Master Fan is a genius doctor in the world. He can save the world and save the common people. How can he just watch the Song and Xia countries continue to fight, and the people are dying."

A group of envoys from the Liao Kingdom also pulled sideways and condemned the Song Dynasty.

Fan Zheng said with a sneer: "All along, the Song Dynasty has always used the old coins to seek peace, but Xixia has repeatedly committed crimes. Since the old coins can't bring peace, then naturally the Song Dynasty does not need to give the old coins."

"It's nonsense! If it wasn't for Song's repeated crossing of the border to build cities, how would we have sent troops in Daxia?" Wei Ming Ah Wu angrily accused Dasong of continuously crossing the border to build Yongle City and Pingxia City.

Fan Zheng frowned and said, "If Xi Xia insists on overturning the old account, Mr. Cai..."

Cai Bian stepped forward and said: "Western Xia invaded Jinmingzhai, Haoshuichuan, etc., during the reign of Yingzong Shenzong..."

Cai Bian was indeed rich in knowledge, he quickly counted the numerous blood testimonials of Xixia's repeated crimes, and soon became speechless from Wei Ming Wu's words.

"In this Song-Xia peace talks, the Liao Kingdom can guarantee Xixia. As long as the Song Dynasty restores the old currency, Xixia will definitely not violate the Song Dynasty again." Yelu Nanyin said helplessly.

If Song Xia continues to dig through the old accounts, it won't be finished in a month, and Xixia is totally ignorant.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "It's not that we don't trust Princess Yelu, but that Xixia is capricious and has repeatedly broken promises. Every time, he collected the old coins the day before yesterday and committed a crime tomorrow. Xixia has already overdrawn his credit. Trust Xi Xia."

Cai Bian and others nodded one after another. Xixia is not trustworthy.

A Wu, whose name was Wei, sneered and said, "The purpose of Xiangzhuang's sword dance in Song Dynasty is for Peigong. The abolition of Xia's old coins is just the beginning. I'm afraid the Liao's old coins will not be guaranteed either!"

Fan Zheng nodded without hesitation and said, "That's right. The officials of the Great Song Dynasty are determined not to cede land or the old currency. If the Xia Kingdom's old currency is abolished, the Liao Kingdom's old currency will naturally be abolished as well."

In an instant, the Honglu Temple was filled with terror, and the envoys from Liaoxia rose up suddenly, looking at Fan Zheng together with murderous aura.
