Chapter 269 0266 [Li Qing is really my daughter-in-law! 】

Seeing Li Bangyan enter the Qinzheng Hall, Zhao Fujin sighed slightly.

During this time, things in Shandong have spread.

The rebel Han Zhen defeated the Western Army and marched to Kaifeng Mansion. He led his cavalry in a majestic circle around Tokyo City.

There was even a word on the boundary monument of Chenqiaoyi.

Now, all the way to attack the city and seize the territory, the momentum is overwhelming.

There were rumors in the palace that Han Zhen was eight feet tall and eight feet in waist. He had a ferocious appearance and a big mouth full of sharp teeth. He liked to eat women alive, especially beautiful women.

Holding a giant ax weighing a hundred pounds, it has the power to tear apart tigers and leopards.

Although Zhao Fujin has lived in the palace for a long time, he is not stupid.

Rumors are just rumors and cannot be believed at all. No one can fight with a giant ax weighing a hundred kilograms.

The imperial weapons in the palace were already at the peak of martial arts, but the copper hammers they used only weighed seven or eight kilograms.

As a woman, apart from making a medicinal diet for her father, what good can she do?

……

Seeing Li Bangyan, Song Huizong felt a dull pain in his temples on both sides of his forehead, and asked worriedly: "Is there another change in Shandong?"

"It's not a battle report."

Li Bangyan replied.

"call!"

Song Huizong couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was not a battle report. He was already a little disappointed now.

Li Bangyan reported: "Your Majesty, news came from Xingren Mansion that Liu Qi, the general under Han Zhen's command, is the youngest son of Liu Zhongwu, the governor of the Luchuan Army."

"what?"

Song Huizong was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "Okay, the general under the rebel traitors is actually the son of an important minister of our court. It's really good. Does Liu Zhongwu want to do what Sima Yi did?"

Sima Yi?
Li Bangyan looked strange and reminded: "Uh... Your Majesty, Liu Zhongwu has been bedridden for the past two years. Did Your Majesty forget that he sent an imperial doctor to visit the border troops last spring?"

"Clam?"

Song Huizong, who was furious, looked stagnant.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is what happened. When the imperial doctor came back, he also said that Liu Zhongwu was old and had been suffering from chronic diseases. New illnesses would cause long-term injuries, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to survive the winter.

It is naturally impossible for a dying man to do what Sima Yi did.

After coming back to his senses, Song Huizong frowned and said, "Ai Qing means that Liu Zhongwu doesn't know?"

Li Bangyan chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, whether you know it or not, it is a good thing for me, the Song Dynasty."

"Ok?"

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty only thought briefly and understood what Li Bangyan meant, and ordered: "Pass on my decree, get some imperial medicine from the palace, and then send the imperial doctor to Xizhou to treat Liu Zhongwu well."

"Yes!"

The noble man bowed in response and was about to turn around to deliver the order when he was stopped by Song Huizong.

"and many more!"

Song Huizong thought: "I seem to remember that Liu Zhongwu's eldest son is serving in the palace?"

The nobleman replied: "Your Majesty, it is indeed true. General Liu's eldest son Liu Xi is appointed as the only marquis of the same family."

He is a military attaché of the eighth rank, responsible for the courtesy of the emperor's court meetings and banquets.

Commonly known as, honor guard.

This position has been held by the children of military officials since the fourth year of Xining.

One is to find jobs for these generals' disciples to show the emperor's favor.

Secondly, it also allows them to learn palace etiquette.

After hearing this, Song Huizong ordered: "Liu Zhongwu has been guarding the border army for many years. He has worked hard and made great achievements. Liu Xi is promoted to the deputy envoy of Donghemen and a doctor of martial virtue."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Li Bangyan flattered him a little.

Song Huizong sighed: "It's just trying to fix the situation. I hope it can have some effect. The Qingzhou thieves are attacking so fast that I can't sleep or eat well!"

"Your Majesty, I do have an idea." Li Bangyan said.

"Oh?"

Song Huizong raised his eyebrows and asked hurriedly: "Ai Qing, what's your plan?"

"Negotiate peace and recruit peace!"

Li Bangyan replied.

Song Huizong gave a bitter smile: "Now that the rebel bandits have gained power, they are threatening to sweep the world. I'm afraid that even if I want to negotiate a peace, the thieves won't agree."

It is not that the courtiers have not proposed peace talks.

It's just that the rebels are fierce and attacking cities and villages is like searching for things. How can they make peace?

Peace talks are based on equal military strength between the two sides.

Take the Tanyuan Alliance for example. At that time, the Hebei Forbidden Army had not yet decayed, and with the Jingsai Iron Cavalry in hand, the Song Dynasty was fully capable of fighting.In addition, the commander-in-chief of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Taolin, was shot and killed, and the morale of the Liao army plummeted. If they continued to fight, it was still unclear who would win.

In this way, the Liao Kingdom chose to send people for peace talks.

But at the moment, negotiating peace is a luxury, let alone recruiting peace.

But Li Bangyan chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, please don't belittle yourself. When I was captured, the rebels seemed to only want to take the land of Shandong, and asked your Majesty to prepare money to redeem him. It was clear that he had already It means peace talks."

hiss!
After Li Bangyan reminded him, Song Huizong immediately came to his senses.

He was just too angry before, but now that he thought about it, it seemed that was the case.

Otherwise, why did Han Zhen capture Li Bangyan and then release him intact?

If it is really just to convey a message, why not just send a prisoner of war?
"My dear, what you say makes sense!"

Song Huizong's eyes shone, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Besides, now that we have Liu Zhongwu's relationship, he, Han Zhen, will definitely agree if he does not look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face."

Li Bangyan paused and continued: "As long as the rebels put down their swords and guns and wait for a while, when Zhong Shidao leads the Western Army, the crisis in the capital will be resolved. In this way, Your Majesty can free up his hands and feet to wipe out the Jinghu rebels. thief."

Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was overjoyed and blurted out: "Li Qing is really my daughter-in-law!"

Before, Li Bangyan was just a pistachio in his eyes.

What he said today made Song Huizong look at him with admiration.

Li Bangyan bowed and said in a sincere tone: "It is the duty of a humble minister to share your Majesty's worries. I come from a humble background and have a bad reputation. Thanks to your Majesty's love, I was bestowed with high officials and noble titles. I have nothing to repay. The current situation is turbulent. Your Majesty has trouble sleeping and eating, so I naturally have to help your Majesty solve your problems!" Since the last time I took advantage of the opportunity to send a message, I tricked Wang Fu once.

As expected, the official family was much alienated from Wang Fu. Although he was not demoted, everyone could see that Wang Fu had lost favor.

Li Bangyan was not willing to let go of this opportunity. He spent a lot of money to hire many idle talents in Beijing, waiting for the real shortage of Jinshi. After working together, he came up with this strategy.

Sure enough, Song Huizong was deeply moved by these words, and he felt that he had not misjudged the person.

"Your loyalty is commendable!"

After expressing his appreciation, Song Huizong couldn't wait to ask: "It's just that the peace talks are about recruiting peace. What kind of regulations are they? Does Aiqing have any countermeasures?"

Li Bangyan had already prepared a plan and replied: "A traitor like Han Zhen has a heavy army and almost all the land in Shandong is in his hands. Ordinary methods of recruiting peace may not be useful."

"Aiqing is right."

Song Huizong nodded in agreement.

What kind of official position can I be given through recruitment?
To hold one's head high is to be crowned king.

To put it bluntly, people now have the capital to call themselves emperors. How can they still look up to you, a prince of Zhao Songfeng?
What about funny?

Li Bangyan's mouth went dry as he spoke. He put the tea cup on the table in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Song Huizong was not annoyed either. The main reason was that this guy had done too many bad things and he had long been used to it.

In front of the harem concubines and the emperor's concubine, he can even take off his clothes and take off his belt. What's wrong with having a cup of tea?

Li Bangyan raised his hand to wipe the tea from the corner of his mouth, and continued: "There are two key points in this peace negotiation. The first is to stop the war, and the second is not to proclaim the emperor!"

Stopping the war is the top priority.

It is equally important not to be proclaimed emperor. Once Han Zhen proclaims himself emperor, Zhao Song's face will be completely lost and his majesty will be lost.

At the beginning of Fang La's rebellion, Song Huizong actually didn't care that much.

It was not until Fang La became emperor that he became completely angry and directly mobilized [-] Western troops to quell the rebellion, quickly suppressing it with thunderous means.

Because this precedent cannot be set. Once it is set, I am afraid that the past events of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms will happen again.

"Not bad!"

Song Huizong agreed, and then changed his tone: "But what price should I pay for the Song Dynasty?"

Li Bangyan replied: "It's nothing more than paying some money and food."

Zhao Song is very familiar with the matter of reparations.

Moreover, both Zhao Ji and the ministers above the court believed that paying compensation would stop the war and ensure a profit without compensation.

Because with the fighting power shown by the Qingzhou thieves, once the fight continues, there will be no winner in a short time.

If it drags on for three to five years, the military expenditures and soldiers lost will far exceed the compensation several times, or even dozens of times.

It was out of this consideration that Song Zhenzong signed the Tanyuan Alliance.

From a cost perspective, it's really no problem.

Song Huizong said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Han Zhen's lion will open his mouth!"

Li Bangyan replied: "I heard that Han Zhen is less than twenty years old and has not yet been married. If your majesty can grant a marriage to an imperial concubine, it will not only show your sincerity but also become an in-law. By then, he, Han Zhen, will become your majesty's son-in-law. No matter how much trouble there is, it’s all His Majesty’s family matter.”

"Wow!"

Song Huizong slapped his thigh with surprise on his face.

Once the marriage is successful, Han Zhen will be his son-in-law, and a family matter can explain it.

Even though the surname of Shandong has been changed to Han, Zhao Song's face has been saved.

Yes, face is important.

Just like the Tan Yuan Alliance, in order to save face, Liao Shengzong called Song Zhenzong his brother, and the annual currency was doubled from 5 taels of silver and [-] bolts of silk.

Li Bangyan added firewood to the fire and said: "It doesn't matter if I give him the land in Shandong. It will raise a strong army, which may not be unable to be used by your majesty in the future. Who knows, I can also open up territory for your majesty!"

"Well!"

The more Song Huizong listened, the happier he became, and his mind began to imagine the scene of Han Zhen working for him.

After a while, he asked: "Which emperor should I choose? Does Aiqing have any recommendations?"

Hearing this, Li Bangyan couldn't help but recall the Emperor Xunde whom he had just met outside the main hall, so he suggested: "I think Emperor Xunde is just right."

"Xunde!"

Song Huizong looked troubled.

He really loved this daughter and couldn't bear to let her go.

After hesitating for a moment, Song Huizong wondered: "Can Aiqing be replaced by another one?"

Seeing this, Li Bangyan explained: "Your Majesty loves Emperor Xunde, and it is known to the whole world. Only in this way can we show our sincerity. Moreover, Emperor Xunde is gentle and virtuous, and her appearance and character are all the best. Then Han Zhen I will definitely like him and respect His Majesty even more. If I change him to someone more unruly and make Han Zhen unhappy, the gain will outweigh the loss."

"That's all, for the sake of my country, the Song Dynasty, I can only accept my humiliation."

Song Huizong sighed and reluctantly agreed.

Li Bangyan felt proud. Today's performance was right, and his weight in His Majesty's heart would probably be even greater.

snort!
Wang Fu, a thief, dares to fight with grandpa. He is really looking for death!
At this moment, Song Huizong ordered: "I will leave all the peace talks to Aiqing. Aiqing will make preparations and go north to Shandong as soon as possible."

"Clam?"

Li Bangyan was dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, going around and around, I actually got myself in.

Heading north to Shandong?

Just thinking about it, Li Bangyan felt his calves trembling.

Li Bangyan trembled and hurriedly declined: "This... Your Majesty, I have a frivolous temper. The peace talks are important, and I am afraid of ruining your Majesty's important affairs."

"You don't have to be modest, dear."

Song Huizong waved his hands and said sternly: "The strategy for the peace talks was drawn up by Ai Qing, and he had a good idea. Besides, Ai Qing also had contacts with Han Zhen. Based on these two points, you must be the one to preside over the peace talks. !”

After all the talk, Li Bangyan had no way out.

He was forced to smile, bowed and said, "I accept your order!"
