Li Yun looked at Shi Kuanzhi's nervous face and just wanted to laugh; he felt that if he went to Zhongdu and told Zhou Guogong what he saw and heard today, Zhou Guogong would also laugh out loud.
The Southern Dynasty lingered in the mountains and seas for decades, and the hatred that gripped their hearts day and night was the humiliation of the emperor as his son and nephew. Therefore, the kinship between the north and the south was regarded as more important than the sky.
On the one hand, Shi Xiang and his cronies were unwilling to let the change of uncle and nephew into brothers come too easily, so that they could not turn it into the interests of the Lin'an court; on the other hand, they were afraid that Duke Zhou would give in easily.
Is it for the sake of subsequent damaging operations?
To this day, the people of the Song Dynasty should have deeply felt the uprightness and simplicity of Ding Haijun's acting style. They can also understand that Ding Haijun's deceitful strategies will be followed by increasingly upright and simple powerful methods.
Previously, Li Yun was looking through secret files in the cabinet library in Zhongdu to check the old events of the north-south war. There are records saying that after the Jin Dynasty deposed the puppet Qi Dynasty, Deputy Marshal Zuo Tarlan proposed to return the land of Henan and Shaanxi to the Song Dynasty and sent him to Song Dynasty.
Return the coffins of Huizong and Empress Dowager Wei.
Talan hoped to exchange this for the Southern Dynasty's annual coins and achieve peace between the North and the South. This was the result of the internal political struggle in Dajin. For the Song people, the conditions were very favorable. As a result, the Song people were disturbed internally, and some people screamed,
Even if they starve to death, they cannot eat the fat meat given by the Jin people; some people think that the Jin Kingdom suddenly got crazy and wanted to hand over Henan and Shaanxi. This must be a conspiracy to lure the Song army to the northern plains, and then use iron cavalry
Gallop and annihilate, so it cannot be trusted at all.
Shortly after the agreement was finally reached, Talan and his ally, Taishi Zongpan, successively failed in the political struggle, and then the Jin army went south again, and as expected, they fought with the Song army in Henan and Shaanxi, killing each other in rivers of blood.
There was such a precedent decades ago. Not long ago, the Ding Navy diverted trouble to the south, and they took advantage of the opportunity to use troops. Shi Miyuan and his party would inevitably think more.
At this time, Zhou Guogong threw some grain crumbs casually, but Shi Miyuan's party regarded it as a carefully made fragrant bait. They wanted to eat it but did not dare to eat it, and were afraid that others would gain strength after eating it. In the end, they just twisted
Ni Ni Niu suggested that I still had to eat, but not now. I had to take a moment to see if there was any fishing line behind the bait.
What does it mean to look forward and backward, and what does it mean to be timid and timid? Li Yun has seen it at close range.
However, according to Guo Ning's habit, he always hits people with iron bones to make people call him daddy, without considering the uncles and nephews he won with his words. At present, only the people of Song Dynasty see this matter. When Li Yunnan goes to the south, he will ask Zhou Guogong
Given full authority, he can make decisions on all matters, not to mention this kind of hypocrisy.
Then he laughed and said, "Okay!"
Shi Kuan was delighted: "So, dear brother, can you announce it as soon as possible to set the record straight?"
"Can!"
"We will discuss the specific terms of inheritance between the north and the south in detail in private. Right now, my dear brother, as long as you promote your lord's military power to the outside world and will replace it with a large sum of money, you must be fierce and rude enough. In the relationship between the two countries,
Only by refusing to give in an inch can you deter people with ulterior motives!"
"I understand! The more fierce and powerful the neighbor to the north is, the more reason the peacemaker has to suppress the opponents, and the more glorious the achievement of reaching the peace agreement will be!"
"Hahaha, dear brother, please keep your voice low. My father's profit making in the Great Song Dynasty is ultimately for the common interests of you and my family. We just know this kind of officialdom secret in our hearts and don't say it out loud."
"Then... we are not going to Tianzhu Temple today? Since brother said so, I think this matter is quite anxious. If Prime Minister Shi has some arrangements in Lin'an City, we will leave now."
Shi Kuanzhi coughed twice: "We still have to go to Tianzhu Temple. This is the court's ritual protocol and the etiquette cannot be discarded."
"In this case, when will I speak out? Where will it be arranged?"
Shi Kuanzhi looked back at the companions who came with him.
Xue Ji stroked his beard and nodded to him. Shi Songzhi was chatting with several people in the queue behind him, and several close friends around him were a little nervous.
Shi Kuan's way: "Right now, right here."
Li Yun was stunned: "No wonder there were so many people greeting me outside Banjing Hall today. It turns out that they were all arranged to listen to me.
guest."
"Not only these people, but also a large number of listeners will be arriving soon."
Shi Kuanzhi coughed a few more times before continuing: "Those imperial students have been making noise outside Li Zhengmen for two days in a row. The officials are deeply dissatisfied, and even the Denwen Drum Courtyard and the Prosecutor's Court have been harassed.
In the early hours of this morning, there were still people outside Li Zhengmen agitating that it would be better to drag the Northern Envoy out directly and negotiate face to face. If the Northern Envoy could be persuaded with full force of righteousness and achieve a diplomatic victory, it would be better than Fucheng writing a letter stating the evil of the Prime Minister.
It’s a hundred times more convincing.”
"In other words, the imperial students from your country have already come to Banjing Pavilion?"
"They left the main gate of Li, walked northward along the city wall for ten miles, and changed to a boat at Yuhangmen. It took at most one and a half hours to get here."
At this point, a person standing on the Chi'an Bridge and looking out suddenly shouted: "Coming! Coming!"
Li Yun shook his head and sighed, feeling more and more that the officials of the Southern Dynasty were not decent.
People like Shi Miyuan have become the rulers of a big country, but they are very slippery and do not take any responsibility. He felt that he could gain benefits in Kaifeng, so he handed over the task with a secret letter and mobilized the soldiers and horses in Jinghu, but the whole process was
He felt that it was very difficult for the imperial students to withhold the letter, so he led them to the outskirts of Chi'an Village, forty miles outside the city, and asked them to confront the Northern Envoy.
Li Yun could even imagine that it would be best if the imperial students of the Southern Dynasties were frightened today. If I, Li, caused public outrage, was besieged by the imperial students, or even something went wrong, Shi Miyuan could use my strength to fight
Use force to suppress the people behind these imperial students.
This old thief is so slick, and sooner or later he will be unable to step on the gourd under his feet, and will fall to the ground. But for now, I can only do my best to scare these students.
Just when Li Yun was planning, at the ferry by Chi'an Bridge, ferries and passenger ships were berthing one after another, and they were crowded together at the ferry. Some of the ships were simply fishing boats and cargo ships, which were obviously temporarily forcibly seized to transport people.
of.
"My dear brother, just put on a vicious attitude and scold them. I have hundreds of people here to testify, so don't be afraid!"
Shi Kuanzhi whispered a few words beside him, then stepped back a few steps, pretending to be a spectator.
Li Yun ignored him and turned to stare in the direction of the ferry.
The section of the river from Chi'an to Yuhangmen is called Shangtang River. There are many boats in the river, and there are buildings and restaurants on both sides of the river. This is what the saying goes, "People are noisy on Chi'an, and the lights are on at dusk."
However, too many ships gathered at the ferry in a short period of time. Except for the dozen or so speedboats that arrived first, the other twenty or thirty ships that followed were unable to dock. The people on board were impatient, and hundreds of people kept shouting.
There was a huge crowd shouting and shouting, and some people simply jumped from one gang of boats to another, crossing several times in a row until they landed ashore.
Such agility fell into Li Yun's eyes, and he immediately became solemn. After staring in that direction for a long time, he determined that the most skillful dancers turned out to be the ones he had spent time and wine together on the West Lake flower boat in the name of Jia Sidao.
A companion for pleasure.
The romantic places in Lin'an City are divided into first-class flower boats, second-class brothels, and third-class perfume shops. Some scholars linger on the flower boats for a long time, and their daily lives are transferred from this boat to that boat. The essentials of action
I have been very familiar with it for a long time, and now I can show my good ability to jump from job to job.
After a while, thousands of people landed one after another and rushed to the place where Li Yun and others stayed. These people were indeed Tai students. They all wore black gauze hats and Zaoluo shirts. From a distance, they looked dark.
After living with these people for a long time, Li Yun also knew the style of some imperial students in the Southern Dynasties.
These imperial students are all the disciples of the eighth rank and below in the Southern Dynasties, who are as handsome as ordinary people. In terms of talent and learning, they must have some. They have read more than a hundred times more books than Li Yun. In terms of knowledge, they cannot be considered very bad, although
The warm wind makes people feel warm, but after all, they are all going to be officials. The imperial students are just starting out. They will have decades of officialdom after that. They have no experience and cannot cope with it at all.
What's even more troublesome is that this group of people originally wanted to promote their own reputation with political trends. Now that they have gathered in crowds, their morale has become more and more impressive. They are also accustomed to seizing the moral high ground and relying on their momentum to suppress others, so that when they get into trouble,
, even the current prime minister dared not challenge them directly. So, how should I deal with them?
According to Shi Kuanzhi’s
Suggestion, put on a fierce stance and scold them?
Over the past hundred years, most of the envoys from the Kingdom of Jin who went south were arrogant and arrogant. Shi Kuanzhi's advice was in line with the general impression left by the envoys from the north. But Li Yun felt that if he followed Shi Kuanzhi's advice, he would be better off.
Is it okay to be used as a tool by Shi Miyuan and become a puppet passively involved in the political disputes in the Southern Dynasties?
