The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 278 Sending Money
The rain was a little crazy, so Qiushuang got into the carriage with an umbrella.

Winter rain is already waiting.

"Sister Qiushuang, your game of chess today is wonderful."

Qiu Shuang smiled: "It's wonderful, but it's a pity that it's not my real skill."

Dong Yu was stunned: "Could it be?"

Qiu Shuang nodded: "This is the chess game Liu Wei taught me. I played a game with him in the carriage that day. His chess game was very strange. I lost him by more than ten moves, which is not too much, but the masters compete. Half an eye is enough to determine success or failure."

"So he taught you such a game?"

"This is a wonderful game of chess. You only need to lay out according to your own intention from the beginning, and you can also intersperse your own chess moves in it, so that it will not affect the overall situation."

After Qiushuang finished speaking, Dongyu was shocked again and didn't know what to say. She thought that Qiushuang played chess in exchange for Murong Bo's innocence, but now it seems that Liu Wei helped Murong Bo's innocence.

The carriage was walking on the streets of Bianjing City, a slight smile appeared on the corner of Liu Wei's mouth.

That chess game was called Flying Daggers. From the initial showing of weakness to the final conclusion of the game, everything was logical. However, not everyone can play this kind of chess game. If you want to play such a game, you must be a master, because the game is very difficult. The ever-changing situation, only masters can change the way of chess through the changes of the chess game.

Otherwise, if you just follow the predetermined path of chess, you will still not win in the end.

"hateful!"

After Li Yin got into the carriage, he cursed viciously.

Lu Xue sat aside, and the sound of rain outside the car curtain became louder.

"The disciple has failed his master's trust, so please punish him."

Li Yin shook his head: "I don't blame you, lack of strength means lack of strength. I didn't expect that their Da Song is really a hidden dragon and crouching tiger, and there is no shortage of all kinds of talents."

Regarding Li Yin's words, Lu Xue didn't say much, she didn't know what to say.

The carriage continued to walk, and when it was about to reach the posthouse, a sneer appeared on the corner of Li Yin's mouth: "Three battles and three defeats, we will be very passive in the peace talks tomorrow."

"So what do you mean sir?"

"Abandon the peace talks."

"Abandon the peace talks?" Lu Xue was a little surprised. They were ordered to come to Song Dynasty for peace talks. How could they give up the peace talks?

Li Yin smiled slightly: "This renunciation is not a real renunciation. Peace talks still need to be negotiated, but our current focus cannot be on peace talks. We must find a way to separate the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty."

The officials of the Song Dynasty are very united, especially when facing the enemy, Lu Xue feels this, even the people of the Song Dynasty feel this way.

"How do you want to separate, sir?"

"Last winter, Zhao Kuangyin visited Zhao Pu's house on a snowy night, right?"

Lu Xue nodded: "That's right. At that time, Liu Wei was entangled with Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Wuyue Kingdom was afraid that Song Dynasty would also send people to Wuyue to intimidate their lord to come to Bianjing to pay homage, so they sent people to send Zhao Pu a few altars of wine. In fact, although Zhao Pu was the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, he took money very seriously for the jewels in the wine jar, so he took them away, but that night, he happened to meet Zhao Kuangyin who visited the minister's house at night."

After Lu Xue finished speaking, Li Yin said with a slight smile: "It just so happens that Zhao Kuangyin is the emperor, what news can't he ask for? He must have rushed there on purpose after receiving the news that the Wuyue people bribed Zhao Pu. , Zhao Kuangyin is not staying warm in the palace, what is he going to a courtier's house for?"

"So, Zhao Kuangyin is afraid of Zhao Pu?" Lu Xue asked Li Yin.

Li Yin shook his head: "It's not about fear, otherwise Zhao Kuangyin would not have personally gone to Zhao Pu's mansion to warn Zhao Pu. After all, the Great Song Dynasty was able to be established, and Zhao Pu contributed a lot. If Zhao Kuangyin didn't kill the heroes, how could he be afraid of a literati like Zhao Pu?" ?”

Speaking of this, Li Yin smiled slightly: "Although Zhao Kuangyin will not be afraid of Zhao Pu, we can make him dislike Zhao Pu and cause their monarchs and ministers to disagree. Weakened a lot."

Li Yin said, and said: "Send someone to send money to Zhao Pu, as long as Zhao Pu accepts it, with Zhao Kuangyin's temperament, he will definitely dislike Zhao Pu."

After the two said this, the carriage stopped at the posthouse. Lu Xue and Li Yin got out of the carriage one after another, and walked inside side by side.

"Sir, the relationship between Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin is very provocative, but Liu Wei is difficult to deal with." After these things, it was Liu Wei who Lu Xue was really afraid of.

Li Yin thought for a while: "Is there anything you can do?"

Lu Xue was silent for a moment, and said: "Liu Wei is a very sensible person, and he is not short of money. If we give him money, he probably won't take it. Use other temptations..."

Speaking of this, Lu Xue paused for a while, then slightly raised her head and glanced at Li Yin, and Li Yin is so smart, when he heard Lu Xue's words, he immediately understood: "You want to use beauty tricks?"

Lu Xue nodded: "Liu Wei is a son-in-law, and he faces Princess Ruyi and a woman all day long. His pursuit of women must be crazy. If we can find beautiful women to lure him, maybe we can succeed."

Li Yin smiled. For men, what they want is a woman with money and power. Liu Wei is not short of money or power now, but because of his status, he only has Princess Ruyi as a woman.

But that man will only guard one woman forever?

In fact, for men in the world, the biggest temptation is beauty, right?
The hero is still sad about the beauty pass, the beauty is really an irresistible temptation.

"It's better to let you handle this matter." When Li Yin wanted to understand this, he suddenly ordered to Lu Xue.

Lu Xue was taken aback for a moment, and her heart tightened: "Sir..."

"I've never seen a woman like Liu Wei. I think you are the most suitable among the entire mission."

"But...but I am the envoy of the Liao Kingdom, so he must be afraid of me."

"Then you might as well do the opposite."
-
The rain continued to fall, and the wind became more violent and tighter.

There are not many pedestrians on the streets of Bianjing City, and the summer heat is gone.

Before dark, a carriage stopped in front of Zhao Pu's house.

In the living room, the rain is gurgling outside the door.

Li Yin sat opposite Zhao Pu, with a slight smile on his face, Zhao Pu glanced at the boxes in the living room, and said, "Master Li, what do you mean?"

Li Yin smiled: "I heard that Prime Minister Zhao's mansion was short of a few boxes, and it happened that there were a few more in our Liao mission, so I sent them to Prime Minister Zhao."

Zhao Pu's cheeks twitched slightly. He felt that Li Yin's reason was so low that it couldn't be lower. He is a dignified prime minister, how many boxes would he lack?

But Zhao Pu didn't say anything, but first opened the box and looked at it. There were five boxes in total, and each box was filled with gold, silver and jewelry, no less than ten thousand taels.

Good things, gold, silver and jewelry are all good things.

Zhao Pu's heart skipped a beat. When he followed Zhao Kuangyin, he was still a poor boy, and he suffered a lot. Therefore, since he became an official and took power, although his salary is not low, he still has an indescribable enthusiasm for money.

He also knows that it is not good for him to be greedy for money, but there will always be a voice in his mind telling him that money can satisfy all his wishes, and that if he has money, he will not have to live in the poor days before, and his children and grandchildren will be better off. Well live on.

He felt that he didn't have much resistance to money. Zhao Pu looked at the money and couldn't help rubbing his hands together.

All Zhao Pu's reactions were in Li Yin's eyes, and when Li Yin saw this, he showed a slight smile.

"Master Zhao, are you satisfied with these boxes?"

Zhao Pu really wanted to return the money to Li Yin, but he couldn't say these words when he looked at the money.

"Master Li suddenly sent me a few boxes, shouldn't it be easy?"

"Tomorrow, my Liao country will have peace talks with your country. I just hope that Prime Minister Zhao can be lenient with us and don't push too hard. Please give some benefits to our Liao country."

This reason is reasonable, Zhao Pu thought for a while, and said: "This matter is not under the control of this official."

"No, no, Mr. Zhao, as the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, can't control anything. You just need to remind Liu Wei a little bit. After all, if we don't give us a little benefit, this peace talk will be difficult. When the time comes The two countries are fighting each other again, which is not good for anyone, is it?"

Zhao Pu was taken aback for a moment, thinking that what Li Yin said was true, if the two countries fought again, it would be a trivial matter how many soldiers were killed or injured in the Song Dynasty, but it would not be a good thing for those generals in the court to make meritorious deeds again.

Civil and military have always been hostile. If the power of military generals is high, they will overwhelm civil officials. More importantly, Zhao Kuangyin doesn't like military generals taking power. As a prime minister, he has to think about Zhao Kuangyin.

"For the people of our two countries, this official will do it, but please take these boxes away."
-
The rain lightened a little after nightfall.

Zhao Kuangyin was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study, while listening to the report from the spies.

"The envoy of the Liao Kingdom, Li Yin, went to the prime minister's mansion, and also sent several boxes of jewels, and then the envoy of the Liao Kingdom took the boxes away?" Zhao Kuangyin frowned slightly, put down the memorial and looked at the spies.

The spy's heart tightened, but he still calmed himself down, and said: "Hui Sheng said, it is true, but according to our inquiries, the items in the Liao Kingdom envoy's box were jewels, but when they returned, it was empty. .”

After the spies finished speaking, Zhao Kuangyin understood that all the jewels in the box had been left in Prime Minister Zhao Pu's residence.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed, he didn't understand, the salary he gave to the officials of the Song Dynasty was not low, even if it was to support the whole family or even go out to have sex, those salaries were enough, and he was not very opposed to officials doing business, but Zhao Pu Why do you still want to covet other people's money?
"Zeping, Zeping, why are you so confused!"
