Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 690

He was born and grew up between the white mountains and the black waters, and he is no stranger to the bitter cold in the northern country. It is this unbearable bitter cold that inspires them to continue to expand their living space to the south.

However, after more than ten years of fighting and traversing the prosperity of the south, Shangjing is not as good as a state city in the Central Plains in his eyes, let alone the prosperous Kaifeng City. of.

I heard that the Great Song Dynasty is more prosperous in Jiangning Mansion, Nanjing, and it has long been above Kaifeng. It is a city that never sleeps, full of people and beauties, but in Shangjing, where night is like a dead city, he is really depressed!

Going back to King Lu's mansion made him even more discouraged. It was not as good as his mansion in Taiyuan in terms of scale or grandeur.

As soon as he entered the door, the confidant who stayed at home reported the old man's visit, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he said vigilantly: "Is there any suspicious person nearby?"

The confidant said cautiously: "Don't worry, Mr. Lang. When he came, the villain threw out his hands and didn't notice that he was following him."

Tarlan nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Don't take it lightly, guard the pass well, pay attention to the movement outside, and no one else should come near the study."

"Don't worry, sir."

There is a large copper basin on each side of the four corners of the study, and inside it is burning charcoal, which makes the whole room warm.

Taking off his tartan and sullen face, he sat on the chair and looked coldly at the square sandalwood box on the table, the lid of which had been opened.

It was full of huge South Sea pearls, there were as many as nine of them, they were definitely priceless and rare goods, even he couldn't help being attracted, and his breathing became heavy unconsciously.

It was still the fat man who conveyed Wang Xiu's meaning to Qin Min. He was drinking tea leisurely, as if he didn't pay attention to the general of the Jin Army, as if he was a guest at a friend's house, his expression was so calm , completely concealing the contempt in his eyes.

Seeing Tarlan's greedy gaze, although it is not easy to detect, almost no one can resist this temptation.One bead is priceless, not to mention nine, Wang Xianggong is a big hand, how many longan beads are there in the entire Song Dynasty?I'm afraid there won't even be a few in the palace, so who in the world can't be tempted by sending nine at once?No.

He put down his teacup, and said with a slight smile, "I hope you will accept some kindness from the princes of the two mansions."

"Looks like it's Wang Wenshi!" Taran withdrew his greedy gaze, his face gradually became serious, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"What Langjun said is exactly what Wang Xianggong meant." The fat man smiled lightly and said plainly.Even if he clearly stated his status as an envoy, he could still be accepted by Talan, so it must be said that it was Wang Xiu's plan.

It is precisely because there is light and darkness in the calculation of diplomatic relations, and it is impossible to bring all the exchange of benefits to the bright side. On the surface, the sky is dark, but private conversations can still be made.Sometimes, an agreement that cannot be reached on the surface can be negotiated secretly. As a qualified commander, no one will reject the dark line, or the dark line that can bring great benefits.

"What's the matter with Wang Wenshi?" Taran said straight to the point and didn't bother.

"Wang Xianggong has always respected Langjun, and when he came, Xianggong Chunchun confessed that he had to reach an agreement with Langjun to return Hebei. At this time, it is related to the stability of the court, and it is also Wang Xianggong's wish. For a little gift from Xianggong personally, the imperial court will still thank you after the event is completed."

A little personal gift, there is something in the words!It seems that the Southern Dynasty did not hesitate to get Hebei at all costs. Wang Xiu must have a purpose. Taran said with interest: "Wang Wenshi is too polite, but domestic opposition is not small, I am afraid it will be difficult."

"Wang Xianggong can understand the difficulties of your husband and wants to attack the country first, but the voice of the Northern Expedition is getting more and more popular. Xianggong knows that the North-South alliance is very important. He wants to ask the big gold to return to Hebei, stop the mouths of the people, and help Wang Xianggong to calm down. The voices of the government and the public, the north and the south will never stop the swordsmanship, and the people will enjoy peace and happiness forever, but it is a pity that some people are ignorant of current affairs." When the fat man spoke, his face was hypocritical to the extreme, and it was in line with his identity. As a secret envoy, if you show magnanimity, No wonder someone believes you.

It's nothing more than tasting some intentions from your hypocritical speech and making appropriate decisions.

Tart was lazy to listen, of course he had a heart, and said half truth and half lie: "Why, Wang Wenshi has good intentions towards Da Jin."

The fat man rolled his eyes, and said with a smirk: "Lang Jun is a hero in this world, Mr. Wang's kindness is the result of that, I hope you will pay more attention to him."

Lazy and silent, the fat man saw that the situation seemed to be quite ambiguous, and said while the iron was hot: "This time, the left deputy marshal Lang Jun went south, no matter what the reason is, with the left deputy marshal's more than [-] elites relying on the rebellion against Li Qiong, he can only defeat Li Qiong." On the Huai River, the entire army was almost wiped out on the way back. It’s not that there were no soldiers in the Song Dynasty, it’s not that he couldn’t see the general trend of the world, or that Wang Xianggong didn’t want the two countries to fight again, so that the people were dying and the soldiers couldn’t drink like the oasis.”

Taran is lamenting that Da Song has regained his strength, otherwise he would not have insisted on calling for a strike from the north and the south. Wang Xiu also saw the chills on his back, and couldn't help saying: "Today is in the court, the Lord has already agreed, Wang Xianggong can be relieved Come."

His tone was much more gentle, and he also deliberately changed the name of Wang Xiu. Since Wang Xiu was interested, he had to respond with kindness, isn't it just a corner of Hebei!Elu Guan's calculation is good, it can not only make Nanchao give in, but also put a rope around Nanchao's neck, why not kill two birds with one stone?
The fat man saw that Tart spit out his mouth lazily, and said with a relaxed smile: "Your Majesty's kindness, I will definitely report back to Mr. Wang."

Tarlan stared at the fat man with a smile that was not a smile, and said coldly: "Your Wang Xianggong and Wushu have a very close relationship!"

Wang Xiu and Wu Shu talked several times. Everyone knew that the fat man was not an ordinary person. He immediately understood that it was a lazy temptation, and said with a smile: "I don't know about Wang Xianggong and Zuo Deputy Marshal Lang Jun, but I have only heard that Wang Xianggong often said Family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs are the inscriptions, which one is more important, and it is not good for me to decide for the king."

Tarlan nodded slightly. What the other party said made sense. The Southern Dynasty wanted to strive for space and time for development, so why didn't Dajin need it?It took a long time to show a smile on his face, family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, he also believed in Wang Xiu's reason, and said softly: "This is a big matter, so we have to be cautious."

"Don't dare, Mr. Lang has been tired all day, I don't want to disturb you, so I will leave now." Seeing that his goal had been achieved, the fat man got up and left immediately.

"Please." Tarlan sat without moving, and didn't even watch the fat man go out. He leaned weakly on the chair and sighed heavily, staring blankly at the burning charcoal, revealing infinite helplessness and desolation However, if it was a few years ago, he would not have to pay attention to these envoys at all. In order to stabilize and digest the occupied military state, he had to stop.
