Chapter 1431 The Emperor's Will Does Not Change
"For the matter of Wanyan Department, let's deal with it like this for the time being! Didn't Ma Renyu have three things to report? What's the third thing, let's talk about it together!" Emperor Liu looked at Cao Bin again, his tone a bit solemn , It seems that the psychology has fluctuated.

This makes the big Han officials here unavoidably surprised, isn't it just a mere Wanyan Jurchen, why is it here?Of course, it's best not to speculate about the emperor's thoughts, and even if you have some guesses, don't reveal them.

Cao Bin's expression was as usual, and he still reported with a straight face: "Ma Renyu is playing, the Northeast is currently in chaos, and various tribes are competing for power. If you want to keep the peace of Liaodong, you still need the king's teacher to do it. He hopes that the court will agree to continue to march. Destroy disobedience, make peace with disobedience, and completely eliminate the chaos in the Northeast!"

"It seems that our Great General Ma is still fighting! Outside the Huanglong Mansion is where his soldiers are heading. It is conceivable how he is willing to hand over the Huanglong Mansion to the Jurchens. This is the goal of the frontline soldiers." Attitude!" Emperor Liu changed his face again, as if the seriousness just now did not exist, he smiled and said with emotion, and he still didn't forget to glance at Wang Pu.

Feeling this gaze, Wang Pu's old face twitched slightly. Obviously, this was also Emperor Liu's true attitude. It seemed that his thoughts were still contrary to the emperor's.Even for the sake of His Majesty's face, he misunderstood the Holy Will. He just didn't know whether it would make Emperor Liu have any other views on him. Wang Pu's face was calm, but his heart couldn't help twitching a few times.

As for Ma Renyu's request, Emperor Liu didn't think too much about it, so he looked at Cao Bin and said directly: "Reply to Ma Renyu, go deep into the northeast, you need to be cautious, continue to march, put it down for now, Huanglong Mansion will attack After more than two months, the soldiers have also worked hard, let them take a good rest, and temporarily do a good job of law and order in Huanglong Mansion and its surrounding areas.

The tribes in the Northeast, let them be chaotic, as long as they don't offend the big man, just ignore him for the time being.With regard to Northeast affairs, the imperial court will have policies, and the military and government of Liaodong should only act in accordance with the central will of the imperial court.

Tell Ma Renyu that he is now in charge of the military affairs of Liaodong and even the entire Northeast, and the stability of Liaodong should be his first consideration.The imperial court has already paid a huge price for taking Liaodong, and the next step is to restore development. He wants to escort Liaodong's chief envoy Si Zhizheng! "

"Yes!" Cao Bin replied.

Emperor Liu instructed Pan Mei again: "The merits of the soldiers in this battle should be appraised as soon as possible, and then the Financial Secretary will reward them as quickly as possible!"

Emperor Liu was very satisfied with the results of the battle of Huanglong Mansion. He was naturally generous with the meritorious officials and the things that pleased the army. Of course, all along, except when the country was in trouble in the early days of Qianyou, Emperor Liu Never skimp.

During the discussion, the imperial meals were already prepared. After Emperor Liu nodded, the servants swiftly and cautiously put the cooked food on the table.The original solemn atmosphere in the vertical arch hall was quickly broken by the aroma of food, and the aroma of wine began to permeate the air.

"This wine is just to congratulate the Liaodong victory, and also to wish the great man more prosperity, gentlemen, please!" Emperor Liu held the wine glass in front of his chest and looked around, with domineering eyes and confident tone.

"Please, Your Majesty!"

Good wine and delicacies always make people feel happy. As the top ministers of the Han Dynasty, there is no shortage of such enjoyment, but being able to sit with Emperor Liu often proves that they are still trusted by the emperor and are still in the center of power in the court. ,this point is very important.

"Zhao Qing, then Xiao Siwen has come to Beijing!" Emperor Liu buried his head in the case, picked a piece of fish slowly, and asked casually.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Pu put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Emperor Liu, twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, and replied: "Return to Your Majesty, Xiao Siwen and his party arrived in Beijing ten days ago, and they are currently placed in the Courtyard. This person is here for the whole family." Coming here, in addition to guards and followers, there is also a large amount of furniture and property, and his children are all present.

In addition, according to investigations, the Liao Lord sent envoys to guard him, all of them disappeared before entering the country, and all of them were replaced by Xiao's soldiers. It can be guessed that the people of the Liao Lord did all their harm on the way! "

"Hehe! This is interesting!" Emperor Liu chuckled twice, his expression became amused, and he teased: "It seems that the ministers of the Liao Kingdom, the Khitan nobles, are planning to settle down in the Han Dynasty!"

"It is heard that during Xiao Siwen's stay in Beijing, he has indeed sent his family members to look for them in Xijing Fang, and he wants to buy a house, and he has made no secret of his actions!" Zhao Pu also smiled.

"Oh?" Emperor Liu raised his eyebrows slightly, and became more interested: "Xiao Siwen seems to be expressing his heart to the court!"

"I also thought about it for a while, and thought that Xiao Siwen has the heart to cast traitors!" Zhao Pu said.

"This is a good thing!" Emperor Liu looked at Zhao Pu, and said with a smile: "If it is true, then my court should give a big welcome. It is not easy for such distinguished guests. They are far away and are not familiar with Beijing. Officials of the Court of Concierge, you should help me!"

"The minister will deliver an order to the Courtyard!" Zhao Pu nodded, and immediately said with some amusement in his tone: "However, the minister had a discussion with the crown prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qin and Xiao Siwen, but this person did not express any intention of joining. I just want to discuss the peace agreement between Han and Liao!"

"How was the talk?" Emperor Liu asked.

Zhao Pu: "Xiao Siwen expressed the intention of the Liao Lord on behalf of the two countries to strike back and reconcile. The Liao State proposed that the two countries should use the land currently occupied by both sides as the boundary and not invade each other. The Liao State is willing to provide horses to the Han every year. Two thousand horses, five thousand head of cattle, ten thousand head of sheep, open the border at the same time, for business travelers of the Han Dynasty, no restrictions!"

"Hehe!" Emperor Liu commented: "I have to say that Ye Luxian is a sensible person, and he is also very wise. He understands the reality clearly, the conditions are clear and straightforward, and there are no excessive expectations or demands. Although the tribute is not much, it is a sign of sincerity!"

"If His Majesty grants you a little grace, even if you pay a higher price, Lord Liao will agree!" said Zhao Pu.

"Based on the current situation of the Liao Kingdom, even if I am merciful and lenient, and agree to a peace agreement, can he provide the above-mentioned cattle, sheep and horses?" Emperor Liu said with a sigh, "Is this still the original Daliao Khitan?" ? Such a small skill, can you do it?"

"If there were no big men to force from the outside, the Lord of Liao could concentrate his energy on countering the rebellion and ordering the country. Compared with this, the other things are nothing. The Khitan has fallen into the current situation and is in dire straits, so how can they care a little As far as face is concerned, judging from the Liao Lord's decision to send envoys to the south, he has already decided to bow to the imperial court!" Zhao Pu said.

"It's a pity!" Emperor Liu shook his head, and said, "I still understand the truth that you can't die from a snake, but you will suffer from it. Khitan Yu bowed his head and hibernated, but I don't want to give him this opportunity!"

In a simple sentence, Emperor Liu's attitude towards the peace talks was clearly expressed, that is, not to allow, not to accept such goodwill.In fact, today's Liao Kingdom has lost the qualification to sit at the same negotiating table with the big man, and Emperor Liu signaled to accept the negotiation, but it was only because of his past status.

However, no matter how much the Liao Kingdom wants to bear the humiliation and flatter it, Emperor Liu's will to beat the dog in the water cannot be shaken.Putting the thorny fish into his mouth, Emperor Liu instructed on the spot: "Talk? There's nothing to talk about. In comparison, it's Xiao Siwen who can arouse my interest even more.

The Han Dynasty's policy towards the Liao Dynasty will not be changed, and the policies and actions of the various borders towards the grassland should be the same as before. They must not be relaxed, but need to be strengthened!I want to sit and watch the day when the Liao Kingdom completely collapses. At that time, maybe I can give the Khitan people a chance to survive. "

"Yes!" Sensing Emperor Liu's strong will, Zhao Pu responded immediately.

The ministers present were not surprised by this, and no one raised any objections, even Wang Pu, who was gradually becoming more conservative, had no objections.At least the current situation maintained by the big man is still within the tolerance range. As long as he doesn't go to war, he will not oppose Emperor Liu's policy opinions. The big man has too much room for manipulation.

"Xiao Siwen will probably wait for me to return to Beijing before she is willing to fully reveal her heart! I will give this opportunity and arrange for him to enter the palace tomorrow. I want to meet him and see what he has to say!" Emperor Liu said again.

"Yes!"
