King of Song

Chapter 376 The Charm of the Future

Lin Zhao, who was far away in the northwest, did not know that his beautiful wife was pregnant, nor did he know that he was about to become a father.At this moment, all his thoughts are focused on the other wife, and he is doing his best to rescue Zhewenxin.

Xixia sent a message early to ask him to exchange Liang Yibu for his wife. Lin Zhao was willing in his heart, because no one is more important than his wife.

It's just that some problems are more troublesome. Whether it's the trust issue with the Xixia people, or whether the court agrees to such an exchange, and what consequences will be caused by this matter, Lin Zhao will inevitably have some concerns and embarrassments.

Although Wang Shao had already expressed that he would turn a blind eye and close his eyes, he also reminded Lin Zhao to treat it rationally and not to fall into the trap of the Xixia people because of concern.

Just when Lin Zhao was thinking about countermeasures and was in a dilemma, news came that the imperial court had appointed him as a peace envoy to negotiate peace with Xixia.

It is self-evident how much power the peace talks envoy has, and he will preside over all negotiations on Xixia in the future.It also includes how to deal with Liang Yibu, so that the transaction with Xixia can be justified, and then the exchange of zhewenxin can be mixed in, and some things will be more convenient and easier.

And since it is a peace talk, the cooperation of the Northwest Frontier Army will be indispensable at that time, and many things can be in a leading position by itself, and there will be fewer constraints.

The happiness came so suddenly that Lin Zhao was so surprised that he didn't even react for a while.

I didn't expect that the most worrying thing would be solved easily. If I knew it, I wouldn't have to be so troubled, and I didn't have to go to Wang Shao.But Wang Shao's performance made him very satisfied, at least he didn't betray himself.Through this incident, Lin Zhao also realized that Wang Shao's character is good, and he deserves to associate with him.

The most surprising thing was this decision. Without my knowledge, I was really surprised to receive such an appointment suddenly.I heard that Zeng Gong, Zhao Yan and others recommended me. It seems that these old acquaintances are really saving face, but they have unintentionally helped me a lot.

At this moment, Lin Zhao didn't know that some things were deliberately arranged.There is a large group of people working behind him, helping himself, not to mention the scale and powerful energy of this organization, and what it will bring to him.

Lin Zhao thought it was just a coincidence, maybe it was God's will!In any case, a convenient condition was born in this way, and I had to make good use of it, and I had to plan it in detail, trying to use public and private as much as possible to get the best of both worlds.

When Wang Shao learned of such a result, he was a little dumbfounded at first, but then he let out a long sigh of relief.It was very difficult at first, although Lin Zhao was promised to turn a blind eye, but after all, he still had to bear the risk, and Wang Shao himself felt a little bit sorry.At the same time, Lin Zhao's safety and future are also very worrying. Out of various considerations, Wang Shao also has a lot of helplessness.

He also thought that it would be best if he could have the best of both worlds, but how easy is it to have the best of both worlds?Given Lin Zhao's current situation, it is difficult to do so.Wang Shao even thought that Lin Zhao had always been known for his resourcefulness, if he could come up with a good solution, he would be happy to help, and he would go to the court to implement it, at least to win Han Jiang's support.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment, Wang Shao realized that he was thinking too much.Lin Zhao's luck was really good. The happy event of presiding over the peace talks just fell on Lin Zhao, and all the problems seemed to be solved easily.Is it really providence?Wang Shao couldn't help shaking his head slightly, his thoughts were a little complicated.

No matter!That being the case, Dongyang, you should perform well!In this way, Wang Shao himself can really turn a blind eye.

The iron-faced suzerain was very satisfied with his masterpiece. When he learned that Zhewenxin had been captured, he speculated that such a work might happen.Sure enough, the Xixia people saw the way and used it, which put Lin Zhao in a very embarrassing situation.The iron-faced suzerain really wanted to help Lin Zhao, but what help could they do?
It is all right to investigate the news and go ahead, or even covertly protect them. They even thought about using force to rescue them, but unfortunately they didn't succeed.The reality is that what they can do is very limited, and some things still need to be handled by Lin Zhao himself.

But Lin Zhao's situation is very embarrassing, I'm afraid there will be more embarrassment.In order to make it easier for the young master and rescue Mrs. Zhe as soon as possible, the Iron Face Sect Master felt that he had to find a way from the root cause.

Li Cheng's words reminded him that if Lin Zhao stood in Han Jiang's position and handled the northwest affairs almost as he wanted, the problem would be solved easily.

The current Lin Zhao is absolutely unable to become the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi Road, but it is not impossible to preside over the situation in the northwest to a certain extent...

Peace negotiator is undoubtedly the best status. Lin Zhao has the qualifications and potential of this party, so he can do it completely. His outstanding performance in Liao and Tubo is still talked about by people.So the iron-faced suzerain mobilized the resources in his hands and asked Ouyang Xiu, Zhao Yan and others to help.However, there are not many people who use it, but they happen to be in relevant key positions, so they can naturally play a major role.

It is completely understandable that Ouyang Xiu, Zhao Yan and others have concerns in their hearts, but they are not wholehearted.As long as they don't bother with each other, they can be a loyal minister who only has Da Song in his heart.If the young master can go to that step in the future, when it is beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, I believe they will definitely support it, and that is enough.

Now I don't expect them to do anything, or have a clear line and performance.Just help out when something happens.For example, Lin Zhao was imprisoned unjustly, and they will definitely help in this matter.Again, this time, Mrs. Zhe's capture and suffering is also a major event, and it is also my duty to help rescue her.

So after some planning and operation, Lin Zhao "accidentally" took on this task, and everything was developing according to the ideal steps.

"It's all right now, the princess presides over the peace talks with Xixia, and Liang Yibu can be used to negotiate terms with the Xixia people." Li Cheng was a little excited.

Jiang Leiting shook his head and said: "Although that is the case, I am afraid that things will not be so easy... Xixia people will definitely get the news, and the value of Mrs. Zhe as a hostage will increase by then. Xixia people must want Rescuing Liang Yibu and wanting to get some more benefits is bound to be troublesome..."

"That's right, the Xixia people found the young master so early and asked for a replacement. Presumably they wanted to finish it in private before the peace talks... It's a beautiful idea for them..." Li Cheng quickly realized.

Jiang Leiting said: "But it doesn't matter. With Liang Yi buried, the weight of this bargaining chip is final. The Xixia people must be very jealous. In this way, some things cannot be put on the table, and the Xixia people need to restrain themselves. We have to do both, overtly and secretly, otherwise this matter will be difficult to deal with comprehensively..."

"Don't worry, my son is smart and resourceful, so there must be countermeasures... Even if there are flaws, it doesn't matter, this is a good experience for you..." The iron-faced suzerain seems to be very optimistic about Lin Zhao, Said: "But there is one thing, everything is based on the premise of ensuring the safety of the young master and Mrs. Zhe..."

"I don't know what your son's plan is? We should just cooperate directly..." Jiang Leiting raised a very sensitive and realistic question in one sentence.The lack of communication between them and Lin Zhao, they are all acting independently, and the cooperation is also very passive. In many cases, there may be misunderstandings or delays in things.

It is very important for them to keep abreast of Lin Zhao's movements, and even understand the young master's thoughts.It's just that it's very difficult to do these things without telling Lin Zhao's identity.The only way is to take measures in private and find another way!

It was their original idea to place someone next to the young master, and it was also the most practical and effective.Of course, the selection of this candidate is very important. He must have strategy and ability, know how to adapt to changing circumstances, and be able to handle things.Due to the importance of identity, the quality requirements for this person are very high.The most important thing is absolute loyalty, this person can get in touch with the son.Whether it's because of his personal safety as a son, or because he is worried about the rumors of walking, he must choose a suitable person...

Under such circumstances, Jiang Leiting and Li Cheng are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates.

However, at the Xianyang Ferry on the Weishui River, Jiang Leiting came forward to save someone and had a face-to-face meeting with Lin Zhao.Although it has been a long time, if Lin Zhao remembers clearly, he will be exposed.At that time, Lin Zhao will inevitably have doubts, and it may cause a lot of troubles.

From the perspective of the Iron Face Sect Master, the timing is very immature, and it is not yet time to tell Lin Zhao.But he didn't notice that in fact, Lin Zhao had already begun to suspect, but it was just some inconspicuous traces, so it was not obvious.However, there is no time to delay the matter of placing people around Lin Zhao, and Li Cheng is the most suitable candidate.

"Li Cheng, get ready and see which way the young master will go and where he will go. You should follow along. In addition to secretly protecting the young master, think of a way to get to the young master. Remember, be as careful as possible. Don't let the young master see the clues..." The iron-faced suzerain seemed to be very worried about Li Cheng's acting skills, so he repeatedly warned.

The news that Lin Zhao sent for the peace talks between Song and Xia was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples and ripples.The peace in the northwest may also be broken because of this, and if it is not well controlled, it may cause an uproar, or even a shock..."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"What? Lin Zhao is the envoy for the peace talks between Song and Xia?" After hearing the news, the Empress Dowager Liang in Xingqing Mansion was shocked.

In this way, everything will be revealed on the bright side, especially a person with a sensitive identity like Liang Yibu is a fatal threat to himself.No matter what happens, she has to take care of her brother's safety, and she will inevitably be controlled by others, and she will not have enough confidence when negotiating peace with the Song Dynasty people.

The release and safety of Liang Yibu will become a serious "international issue", which directly involves the bargaining chips and results of the negotiations.

well!In the end, it is not as good as man's calculation!
The Empress Dowager Liang thought very well at first, and the Liao people were very helpful in the truce, and the training of the Pishi Army in Youzhou played a very good deterrent effect.The Song Dynasty people were obviously a little scared, and then agreed to peace talks.In terms of self-confidence, the Empress Dowager Liang thought that Xixia was much better than the people of the Song Dynasty.

The response from the Song Dynasty was very quick, which showed that they were indeed fearful, and their own situation was not optimistic.If this is the case... the Song Dynasty also wanted to end the war as soon as possible. After thinking about this, Empress Dowager Liang smiled knowingly.It should be much easier to negotiate peace with a country that also does not want to fight, right?The furrowed brows gradually relaxed...

As long as it is handled well, the traces of the Xixia people's forced truce will become thinner and weaker. The initiative that should have been lost is gradually being grasped, and the loss this time should not be very serious.Empress Dowager Liang didn't know whether it was a fluke of self-comfort, or she was too confident.

The Song Dynasty quickly confirmed the envoys for the peace talks, and they have already begun to contact them. The envoys will come soon, which is also a good side evidence.

But they never expected that the envoy who came was actually Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao?Empress Dowager Liang was so helpless, so the private deal would have come to nothing?Her letter had been sent to Dashun City for many days, but there was no response there.

Empress Dowager Liang originally thought that Lin Zhao would be particularly concerned about Zhewenxin, and coupled with his youthful vigor and vigor, he would definitely be impatient.It's not surprising that a young man with a somewhat human temperament would do anything to get out of the cabinet.But things seemed to backfire. Lin Zhao didn't respond. Could it be that he doesn't care about Zhewenxin?
No, from Zhe Wenxin's expression, it can be seen that Lin Zhao loves him very much, and they are very affectionate and affectionate to each other.It was the same from what he knew, but he didn't respond... Could it be that he was wrong?Men really don't have a good thing...

Or maybe he has more than enough heart but not enough energy, this is possible, the younger brother has a valuable status, maybe it is not within Lin Zhao's reach, and he traded in private.But since he is said to be so smart and intelligent, can't he think of any countermeasures for such a thing?Would it be an exaggeration to say he was resourceful?If that's the case, why did my younger brother lose to him repeatedly.

Then, there is only one reasonable explanation, that is, Lin Zhao's own psychological quality is very good, he can hold his breath, and even think of other ways.It may be his way to negotiate conditions with Xixia as the peace envoy of the Song Dynasty. In this way, Xixia will inevitably be passive...

Hey, I didn't expect this Lin Zhao to be so interesting!What kind of person is he?Empress Dowager Liang felt like she was meeting her opponent, and at the same time she became more and more curious about Lin Zhao...

Since it's a peace talk, why don't you just go?Empress Dowager Liang's expression changed, and she made a special decision.

Some people who didn't meet each other inadvertently come together, what will happen between them?Here lies the wonder of the future, which is unpredictable and daunting, but always makes people look forward to it. Maybe this is the charm of the future!
