Pretending? Everyone in the palace was silent. Maybe Song Ren was really pretending. However, no one hoped that Song Chao was pretending. If this was the case, it meant that Song Chao understood the situation very clearly.
The opponent sees the situation clearly, which is not good news.
So, is it really true?
Wanyanxun turned his attention to his younger brother Wanyan Shouxu, hoping that this man with huge information in his hands could give a definite answer.
However, Wanyan Shouxu changed the topic and actually talked about a businessman.
"The news from Dasong is that a prominent figure in Dasong has suddenly disappeared." Wanyan Shouxu said something that baffled everyone present.
"Imperial brother..." Wanyanxun didn't understand why her brother suddenly got involved in irrelevant matters.
"Brother Imperial, and everyone, do you know who is the most popular person in singing songs?" Wanyan Shouxu shook his head slightly and said, "You must not know, because you always focus on Bai Bai in the court.
Officials. Many times, the deciding factor is not necessarily the officials."
Everyone didn't know what he wanted to say, but he was the emperor's younger brother, so they had to pretend to listen and wait for him to continue.
"The Emperor may not remember it, but the Prime Minister and Marshal Miao will not forget the guy who used a few militiamen to eat my first battalion of soldiers last year." Wanyan Shouxu glanced at everyone and continued without them answering, "
Yes, this guy is the most popular person in Dasong right now. Because he not only invented unique lighting fixtures, he also built a new city on the edge of Lin'an City. The houses and roads in the new city are completely different from what people are familiar with.
Same."
"Seventh Emperor, I don't understand how these things are related to Song Chao's envoy Meng?" Zhang Tiangang couldn't help it.
"Of course it's related, Prime Minister Zhang." Wanyan Shouxu smiled and said, "Does Prime Minister Zhang know how our five thousand border troops in Jingzhao Prefecture disappeared?"
"Ah, could it be that the emperor's brother said that he would overthrow our five thousand border troops, and this is what Ma Hanshan said?" Wanyanxuan was shocked.
Can you not be shocked? Dasong's frontier troops were beaten by their own frontier troops and fled, but their own frontier troops were completely annihilated by some village leader and businessman from Dasong. This... this is simply unbelievable.
In fact, the reason why Hu Ting and his ministers, including Wanyan Xuan, knew that the frontier troops from Jingzhao Prefecture were heading south privately but did not stop them was because they saw that the frontier troops were overwhelmingly strong and they quickly reached Raofeng Pass in the blink of an eye.
They are waiting, they want to "pick up the slack". If these five thousand border troops can break through Raofeng Pass, then they can negotiate with Dasong. If they want to withdraw, they can pay something, whether it is food or money, or
Add some New Year coins or something.
Greed is the nature of barbarians.
It is because of greed that they have not intervened with this border army that went south privately. They never thought that they would lose thousands of border troops because of their greed. Moreover, it is because of greed that they are now trapped in
Diplomatic difficulties.
At any time, in diplomacy, strength comes first, rules come second, and morality comes last.
As long as you have strength, just like that ugly country in modern society, you can confuse right and wrong, just take a bottle of washing powder and beat others to pieces, and then ask for benefits from others later.
Rules? They are used to deceive the weak. Morality? In their eyes, it is simply bullshit.
Hu Tingjun and his ministers also had the same mentality.
Nicheng thought that when they were waiting for good news, all five thousand frontier troops were gone overnight. This time, they were really dumb and unable to express their suffering. The frontier troops were gone, which meant that they were no longer strong enough to call a deer a horse.
, I am so overbearing that I have the final say. Therefore, after being slapped in the face and suffering the loss of being dumb, I have to face Da Song’s claims.
In fact, Hu Ting, who was already disturbed by Bei Meng, lost all his advantages over Da Song because of this incident, and his true nature was exposed.
What frightened them even more was that they finally came to their senses. Why did these thousands of frontier troops fight without being ordered? Why did they go south? It was definitely not to clear grass valleys. Did Jingzhao Mansion need to clear grass valleys?
There is someone behind it, there is power behind it...
What is the power behind it? Who wants Hu Song to fight? Who wants Da Song to be afraid of Hu Ting? It goes without saying.
However, not only Hu Ting could not imagine, but even those who were behind the scenes could not imagine that Song Dynasty could actually eat thousands of Hu soldiers in one night.
Wanyan Shouxu looked at Wanyan Xuan and nodded slightly and said: "Although there is no direct evidence, based on many other evidences, this matter is what that kid said."
"Why? Why did he do this?" Wanyan Chenshang said.
Miao Daorun raised his head and glanced at him, thinking that this guy was an idiot. Why? Is it good for people to protect their families and their country?
But Wanyan Chenghui raised a question and said: "Your Majesty, I don't believe he has this ability. There are five thousand elites."
"He has this ability, and according to the information I have, he only sent a few hundred people. What's amazing is that he has weapons in his hands that we have never seen before." Wanyan Shouxu affirmed.
"My lord, I still don't understand. Even if he was responsible for that battle, how does it relate to what we are discussing now?" Zhang Tiangang just doesn't understand. In fact, no one except Miao Daorun understands what the lord wants to express.
.
Wanyan Shouxu glanced at Zhang Tiangang, who rose to power by flattering his compatriots and tricking his compatriots, and said calmly: "Xiang Zhang didn't hear what I just said. This guy suddenly disappeared, and at the same time, Bi Liancheng, who was on an envoy to Xixia, disappeared with him.
But Hu Ju, who was on an envoy to Northern Mongolia, was playing leisurely on the road, as if he was afraid that others would not know where he was or why he was going. Mr. Zhang, don’t you understand what this means?
"
"Well, if Prime Minister Zhang still doesn't understand, let me tell you one more piece of news. According to the secret agent of the Machine Speed Room, five of the envoys sent to the six countries this time by Da Song were recommended by this man named Ma. As for why
He can recommend an envoy to Emperor Songchao. This king has not found out yet. However, this matter is true, because these people have scolded or came to thank the boy before going on the mission. Why did they scold him?
Why should we thank him?" Wanyan Shouxu told several explosive news in one breath. A businessman could actually recommend an envoy to the emperor?
This is indeed very shocking.
"Your Majesty, are you saying that all of this is that boy's strategy? And because that boy suddenly disappeared, it is very likely that he... went to Northern Mongolia?" Wanyan Chenghui finally understood what Wanyan Shouxu wanted to express.
"Yes, according to the analysis of the machine speed room, all this is the kid's strategy. As for how the boy contacted Emperor Song and how he gained the emperor's trust, the machine speed room has sent more people to Song, and there should be news soon.
." Wanyan Shouxu said, "The reason why Xiao Wang said so much is to tell you that the situation we are facing is very serious. Don't take it lightly, let alone play any tricks."
Hiss!
All of this was actually done by a businessman? Everyone took a breath, it was too scary. A businessman could kill 5,000 border troops with just a few hundred people. A businessman could plan such a large-scale diplomatic event... Moreover, unexpectedly,
Let all factions in Song Dynasty support it.
If it's true, that's really terrible.
"What the emperor means is..." Wanyanxuan was really anxious. If Song Chao really joins forces with Beimeng, Donghu will definitely be in trouble.
"Brother Imperial, what I mean is that Song Dynasty will definitely ally with Northern Mongolia. However, it may not necessarily fight against Northern Mongolia." Wanyan Shouxu paused and continued, "Brother Imperial and everyone, do you understand what I mean?"
"Your Majesty, what you mean is that Song Dynasty will use Northern Mongolia as a starting point to suppress our Dynasty?" Wanyan Chenghui turned to Wanyan Xun and said, "Your Majesty, if Song Dynasty's strategy is really like this, we will only have to deal with it in the future.
Song Dynasty backed down. Otherwise, they will launch a pincer attack on us from the north and the south, and we will be attacked from both sides."
Wanyanxuan said with a dark face: "Songjian is disgusting, they actually use Northern Mongolia to consume us."
The emperor finally understood that this plan was really vicious, but now he didn't know how to deal with it.
"Your Majesty, we must come up with a feasible way to prevent the implementation of this poisonous plan..." Wanyan Chen Shang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, when the envoy goes to Northern Mongolia, he must pass through Xibo and Xixia. We still have a chance."
"Assassination of the envoy? What a good plan, I second my opinion." Zhang Tiangang likes to do this kind of thing the most.
"I second my opinion." Wanyan Chenghui also stood up.
"Does Marshal Miao also second the proposal?" Wanyan Shouxu looked at Miao Daorun and said.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, how should I answer? If I don't agree with the proposal, wouldn't it be suspected of being a favor? But if I agree with the proposal, I would be betraying the emperor's favor." Miao Daorun was in a dilemma and didn't know how to answer.
"So, Miao Shuai doesn't agree with assassination. Very good, Xiao Wang doesn't agree with assassination either, because if he kills this envoy, the Song Dynasty will send other people to kill the envoys who are on the bright side, but they can't kill those who secretly go to Northern Mongolia.
Man, this is not the best policy." Wanyan Shouxu smiled and said to Miao Daorun, "Miao Shuai, tell me your countermeasures."
Of course Miao Daorun had an idea, but he didn't want to say it. After all... Hu Ting was an invading country.
But after being forced by Wanyan Shouxu, he had no choice but to say nothing. He pondered for a moment and said, "The minister's response is the prince's response, and the prince's response has been mentioned just now."
Have you said it? Has the prince said it? Everyone was confused, but Wanyan Shouxu was laughing. He was saying in his heart that this Miao Daorun is really a smart man.
"Brother Emperor, what's the solution? Tell your brother quickly." Wanyanxuan couldn't help but feel happy when she heard that her brother had a solution.
"Brother, it's very simple. Make peace with Song, satisfy Song Chao's face, and then deal with that Ma Hanshan." Wanyan Shouxu smiled and said, "Most of Song's people are grudges about my going south. They only want to unite with Meng.
He wants to destroy us, but that kid wants us to fight with Beisong and reap the benefits. So, the second step we have to do is to provoke the officials of Song Dynasty to become enemies of that kid."
"Your Majesty, I oppose your prince's strategy. I believe that our dynasty should join forces with Northern Mongolia to sweep across the world and directly capture Xixia, Xibo, Songchao, Dali... and even more neighboring countries such as Dongwu, Ceylon, etc.
Land." Zhang Tiangang stood up and said excitedly, "We will grant all the places outside Song Dynasty to Beimeng. I don't believe Beimeng will not be interested."
