Reborn Wu Dalang

Zhao Ji thought carefully for a moment, and said: "Well, let Zhao Liangsi go."

Gao Qiu was overjoyed when he heard this, thinking that this matter was finally done.

It turned out that after Ma Zhi came to the Song Dynasty, he only thought that he could quickly unite with the Jin people and recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Who knew that no one in the court was worried about this, and he was very depressed.Over the years, he has been bribing the officials constantly, hoping that the officials will help him propose to the emperor to join the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty.Gao Qiu is the current Taiwei, so he is naturally his target of bribery.

And Gao Qiu has his own "principles" in handling things, and he usually gets things done for others when he accepts bribes from others.

After the court ended that day, Gao Qiu returned to Taiwei's Mansion and immediately ordered his subordinates to invite Ma Zhi over.

Ma Zhi has a bearded face and looks majestic and powerful.He is now a Bachelor of Longtuge awarded by the imperial court. This official position is just a false title, without any real power, and he can't even meet the emperor.

"Master Gao, what's the matter?" Ma Zhi asked.

He was very surprised. After Gao Lian accepted his bribe some time ago, he kept avoiding him.Ma Zhi had long wanted to ask Gao Qiu to see how things were going.Gao Lian took the initiative to find him today, could it be that the matter has been completed?

"Master Zhao, I've already done what you asked me to do for you." Gao Qiu laughed loudly.

"You mean... about sending troops to the Liao Kingdom?" Ma Zhi said in disbelief with a face full of joy.

"Yes! But before sending troops to the Liao Kingdom, we still need to unite with the Jin people. I have already recommended you to His Majesty to send you to the Jin Kingdom. I wonder if you can handle this matter well?" Gao Qiu said.

"Don't worry, Mr. Gao, there is absolutely no problem! Even if it costs my life, I will handle this matter well!" Ma Zhi said excitedly.

He has been working hard to regain Yanyun all his life, and now he finally sees hope, and the excitement in his heart is beyond words.His sense of mission to accomplish this matter is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. In order to accomplish this matter, he has already abandoned his family and career, and came to Song Dynasty from Liao Kingdom. Now he is willing to give up his life, of course, the premise is that he can Recover Yanyun.

"Very good, very good, His Majesty will summon you tomorrow. When His Majesty asks questions, you must answer them properly." Gao Qiu said.

"It's natural! I want to thank Master Gao again!" Ma Zhi said gratefully.

"Haha, it's nothing." Gao Qiu was very proud of himself. Every time he took bribes, what he enjoyed most was the expressions of gratitude and weeping when he was done.After talking about this, he wanted to stay with Ma Zhi for dinner, but Ma Zhi didn't dare to eat at the same table with him, so he left immediately.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Ji summoned Ma Zhi as expected.

Ma Zhi stood below, quietly looking at the emperor, and found that the emperor seemed different from before.When he first came to Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji met him, and at that time, he was given the surname "Zhao".He remembered that the emperor was pretty handsome at that time, with a kind expression on his face.But now when I saw the emperor again, I found that the emperor's whole face was "thin" and he spoke like a mother-in-law, with some slurred words.The emperor's expression also seemed to become very gloomy, like a poisonous snake.

"Strange, how did the emperor become like this?" Ma Zhi pondered this question secretly. Of course, he didn't know that Zhao Ji's teeth had been polished off by Wu Dong, and Zhao Ji was castrated again, so his temperament changed drastically, which made people feel uncomfortable. It also feels very gloomy.

At this moment, Zhao Ji spoke up and said, "Zhao Liangsi, are the Jinren really as powerful as you say? Together with the Jinren, can we really recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun?"

Ma Zhi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the Jin people are extremely powerful. They have not lost a single defeat since they raised their troops. Now the Jin people have occupied Tokyo in the Liao Kingdom, and they are not far from Shangjing in the Liao Kingdom. Therefore, as long as Together with the Jin people, we will definitely destroy the Liao people and take back the Yanyun sixteen prefectures."

The five capitals of the Liao people were well-known at that time. They were Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, which is now the area of ​​Bahrain Zuoqi in Inner Mongolia; Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, now Ningcheng County in Inner Mongolia; Liaoxi Mansion in Tokyo, now Shenyang, Liaoning; Nanjing Xijin Mansion, now Beijing; Xijing Datong Mansion, Shanxi Datong.

The territory of the Liao State is extremely large, and the five capitals are equivalent to five municipalities directly under the Central Government. The Liao people manage the entire Liao State through the five capitals.Now the Jin people have occupied Tokyo in the Liao Kingdom, equivalent to one-fifth of the territory of the Liao Kingdom is occupied by the Jin people.

Hearing this, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty was not worried at all about whether the Jinren were too powerful, but he laughed out loud, feeling very excited, and said, "Are the Jinren so powerful? That's great. Liao is indeed a clever plan! Zhao Liangsi, you have made great achievements!"

Ma Zhi hurriedly said: "I dare not."

He is also very happy now, the emperor has finally affirmed the strategy of "Alliance with the Jin and destroy the Liao Dynasty". It seems that he will really send troops soon, and Yan Yun will soon return to the arms of the Han people.The pursuit with a sound finally had hope, and for a moment he felt his eyes were wet and he couldn't control himself.

Song Huizong was complacent for a while, and then said: "Zhao Liangsi, I have prepared the imperial decree and the country. You take the imperial decree and the country to the Jin Kingdom, read my imperial decree and the country to the Jin people, and let them cooperate with me. The Liao Kingdom was destroyed."

Although the Song Dynasty was not strong enough, Song Huizong still had the posture of a celestial monarch, treating the Jin people as his own vassals, regardless of how the Jin people would feel.

In the original history, the Jin people had conquered half of the Liao Kingdom, and Song Huizong still negotiated with the Jin people with a superior attitude, which made Wanyan Aguda very dissatisfied and disgusted with Song Huizong.

But now, with Song Huizong's attitude, Zhao Liangsi naturally did not dare to correct Song Huizong. He took the imperial decree and said, "Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Jin is too far away. If you start by land, you don't know when you will reach the Kingdom of Jin. There are many dangers on the road, and the death of a humble official is not a pity, but if the imperial decree and the country fall into the hands of the Liao people, it will be terrible."

Song Huizong was taken aback, and said, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Ma Zhi said: "Weichen has been thinking about this matter for these years. We can start from Dengzhou Prefecture, take a boat to the Kingdom of Jin, and negotiate with the Jin people."

Song Huizong nodded, and suddenly laughed again, saying: "Yes, we can start from the sea... From now on, we have an alliance with the Jin people, which can be called the 'sea alliance'... Haha, hahahaha... Zhao Liangsi , you set off as soon as possible, I want to take back the Yanyun sixteen prefectures as soon as possible, and become the eternal sage."

In the original history, Ma Zhi set off along Dengzhou, went to the Kingdom of Jin, met Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin, and made a "sea alliance" with Wanyan Aguda.Now Ma Zhi is still starting along the same road, but it is a year earlier.

The weather in early February of the lunar calendar is already a bit springy, the grass is sprouting, and the weather is not so cold.

In this season, some young masters and young ladies from rich and noble families have gone out to roam, so as to sweep away the boredom of the winter.

But Ma Zhi didn't have this idea, and now he is leading more than 20 military masters, galloping on the road.

He was very excited along the way, he wished he could come to Jin Kingdom immediately, negotiate with the Jin people, and then send troops to Liao Kingdom together to recover Yanyun.

"Hurry up, everyone! We have a heavy responsibility this time, and we must handle this matter well!" Ma Zhi couldn't help but shouted seeing the slow speed of the people behind.

The knights behind hurriedly rode up and followed him. These knights kept cursing Ma Zhi, thinking that this was for the government, so why bother to urge everyone so much.But Ma Zhi was the officer, and they had to obey Ma Zhi's orders.

Not a day later, Ma Zhi came to Dengzhou Prefecture and asked to see Tong Xiang, the prefect of Dengzhou.

"Master Zhao, what are you doing in Dengzhou?" Tong Xiang asked lazily when he saw Ma Zhi.His uncle is Tong Guan, and it was through Tong Guan that Ma Zhi offered the plan of "joining the gold and destroying the Liao Dynasty", so the relationship between the Tong family and him is also good.

"To be honest, I came this time at the order of His Majesty." Ma Zhi said.

"Oh." Tong Xiang was taken aback.So, Ma Zhi turned out to be the imperial envoy?If such an imperial envoy travels, it will definitely alarm the state capitals along the way. From Bianliang to Dengzhou, there are countless cities. Tong Xiang will definitely know all the way here.

But now Ma Zhi came to Dengzhou quietly, which is really weird.

"Master Zhao, what is it?" Tong Xiang said.

"This is a secret, don't tell others. Mr. Tong, you just need to prepare a big boat for me to cross the sea. I want to cross the sea to the north." Ma Zhi said.

What happened to Ma Zhi this time was very confidential, so naturally he couldn't tell Tong Xiang, the prefect of Dengzhou.But he did this, Tong Xiang was very dissatisfied.

Tong Xiang thought, what's the secret?His uncle is Tong Guan, as long as he wants to know any secrets, he can get news from the court.

At the moment, I don't bother to pay attention to Ma Zhi. As for Ma Zhi's provision of a "big boat across the sea", it is also difficult for Tong Xiang to do it.

After being threatened by Liang Shanbo a few years ago, he is now a puppet in Liang Shan's hands.All the wharves and ports in Dengzhou are under the control of Liangshan. As for seagoing ships, they are all under the management of Liangshan.Ask him to prepare a ship for Ma Zhi, he simply does not have the ability.

"Master Tong? I don't know when the boat will be ready for me? This time I am on an imperial mission, so there must be no delay." Seeing that Tong Xiang was silent, Ma Zhi said anxiously.

Tong Xiang became more and more unhappy, thinking what happened to Ma Zhi?Don't say he can't do it, even if he can do it, there's no need to be in such a hurry?How can there be such a reason to be so anxious when doing business for the court?

"Well, let me think about it," Tong Xiang said.

"What are you thinking?! Master Tong, it's about the fate of the Song Dynasty, you prepare a ship for me now! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Ma Zhi couldn't help but said coldly.

Tong Xiang was stunned. As Tong Guan's nephew, no one had ever talked to him like this before. His expression turned cold at that moment, and he said, "Why are you so rude?"

Ma Zhi gritted his teeth and said, "If Mr. Tong doesn't prepare a ship for me immediately, I will report to His Majesty that you intend to disobey the holy order and hinder the imperial envoy from carrying out his duties!"

Tong Xiang nodded with a sneer, and said, "Okay, I'll prepare a boat for you now!"

******

At the moment, Tong Xiang first sent his cronies to inform Ruan Xiaowu of Dengzhou Customs that an imperial envoy from the imperial court had arrived, and asked Ruan Xiaowu to take down the imperial envoy.

After Ruan Xiaowu received Tong Xiang's report, he was overjoyed, thinking that the governor was coming soon, and this "imperial envoy" happened to be presented to Wu Dong as a generous gift.
