Come to Song Dynasty with the system

After thinking about it, Zhang Jian fell asleep.This trip to Zhao and Song went much smoother than I imagined. Before the conditions that I was prepared to pay were put forward, the man named Wen Yanbo left happily. Song Chen was short-sighted.

It finally dawned, and people lined up in sedan chairs outside the palace to enter the palace. These were all the Song ministers who came to attend the imperial meeting.

Zhang Jian got up very early, and after eating something, he began to wait for some good news that might come out of the palace.

Chui Gong Hall, as a place for court meetings, was particularly lively today. Some officials of fifth rank and above in Beijing rushed over, but because their rank was too low, they stood at the very back.

Standing closest to the Jinluan Hall were the ministers and important ministers of the court. They would talk to each other from time to time, as if they were unifying some opinions.

The noise continued for a while, until a sharp voice came from the distance, "The Emperor has arrived."

Suddenly, the Chuigong Palace, which was not much better than the vegetable market, suddenly became quiet. All the courtiers lowered their heads involuntarily, saying the words "long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long live the emperor" in their mouths, waiting for the king to come to court.

Zhao Zhen, who had not appeared in the court for a long time, came this time.What was different from the past was that Queen Cao was right beside him, driving every step of the way. It seemed that if Zhao Zhen felt unwell, she could quickly help him.

There was no problem for the two of them to sit on the large dragon chair. Empress Cao first supported Zhao Zhen to sit down, and then carefully sat aside to wait on her.Don't look at her face, which is very worried and even a little uneasy.

, but in fact, my heart has long been filled with joy.

This is sitting on the dragon throne in front of Zhao Zhen. This has been her goal all along, and now she has achieved half of it.

Zhang Maoze, the chief eunuch, kept his eyes on the officials and the queen. After seeing them sitting down, he let out a sigh of relief, and then the sharp voice sounded again, "The emperor is coming to court, and the ministers have something to report. Retreat without incident."

"The minister has this book."

As soon as Zhang Maoze finished speaking, Wen Yanbo, the political advisor, was the first to stand up.

This is a master who likes to gain fame and reputation. Seeing Zhao Song regain Yanyun State again, of course he will seize the opportunity to fire the first shot.

Wen Yanbo stood up with a white jade plate in his hand, with some excitement on his face. He looked up at Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao who were sitting on the dragon throne and said: "I am here to report to the official family and the queen, and I also congratulate the official family and the empress." Queen, the envoy from the Liao Kingdom is willing to return the state of Yanyun due to the great power of the Song Dynasty."

"This move is the result of the hard work of the officials, and only the officials are wise. I would like to congratulate the officials and the queen once again, and wish the Song Dynasty a peaceful and prosperous country."

When Wen Yanbo said this, other ministers also echoed and said: "I wish the Song Dynasty a peaceful and prosperous country and its people."

"Haha, okay, okay." Zhao Zhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said with a flushed face. It could be seen that he was a little excited at this moment.

The emperor was happy, and his ministers were naturally happy too. For a while, the atmosphere in the entire court felt a bit warm.People who don't know may think that Zhao Song has already taken back the Sixteenth State of Yanyun by relying on his own strength.

"Wen Yanxiang

Sir, I am a little confused. I wonder if you can clear up the confusion? "Just when all the civil and military officials in the dynasty looked happy to celebrate the New Year, and some ministers were ready to speak out the words they had prepared last night to make the officials even happier, a slightly calm voice sounded. , also attracted a lot of people's attention.

The person who spoke was none other than Bao Zheng, who was serving as Privy Councilor at the time.

Bao Zheng stood up without any expression on his face. This look made those who originally wanted to open their mouths and run away immediately shut their mouths.

Without it, anyone who is not a fool can see that this is Bao Zheng's intention to cause trouble.And before seeing the results, no one will take the initiative to participate.

No one spoke anymore. When their eyes were focused on Wen Yanbo, the man's face showed displeasure.

Today is a happy day. It is the time when Zhao and Song regain their lost territory. This move can make the officials happy and can also be recorded in the history books.By then, all the people attending the meeting were indifferent, but at this time, someone actually came out to question himself. It was strange that Wen Yanbo was happy.

In his heart, he blamed Bao Zheng for being ignorant and ignorant of compliments, but since someone was asking him a question, he had to answer, otherwise others would think that he was afraid of the other person.

"Oh, I don't know what Mr. Bao is confused about?"

Wen Yanbo spoke to him, and Bao Zheng suddenly sneered when he heard it: "Just now, Mr. Wen Yan said that Liao was willing to return the Yanyun State, which was too general. But I don't know whether to return all of it, or to return a few states?"

"Also, is this return free of charge? Or is it paid?"

"If it's the latter, we need

At what cost? "

Bao Zheng said more carefully. Although he was not clear about Zhang Jian's specific requirements, he knew one thing. The Liao Kingdom would never be so kind. They must have other thoughts.In short, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

If you can't figure things out clearly, some benefits will only be hot in your hands.If Wen Yanbo were to kill first and then punish later, it would probably be Zhao Song who would suffer.

Don't tell me, that's what Wen Yanbo really thought.

What Wen Yanbo considered was to bring Yanyun State back through his own hands. This would be the greatest achievement, and his name would be forgotten in the annals of history.

As for the price that needs to be paid, it has little to do with him.

The price had to be borne by the country of Zhao Song, and all he got was merit, which were completely different things.

Originally, according to his intention, this matter should be done first, and everyone accepted the olive branch thrown by the Liao Kingdom.Once you have taken advantage of someone else, you will not be able to negotiate their terms again, even if you don't agree. After all, Zhao Song is a country of etiquette.

But he never thought that Bao Zheng saw this and actually asked himself about this matter in front of the officials and the civil and military officials of the court, which made him a little embarrassed.

"What's the matter, Mr. Wen Yanbo, is there anything that cannot be said to others? This is a national matter, shouldn't it?" Bao Zheng saw that Wen Yanbo had stopped talking, so why couldn't he see that there was something fishy about it? ?

In fact, at this moment, not only Bao Zheng saw it, but other courtiers also saw the problem.Even Zhao Zhen sitting on the golden dragon chair

I also saw something wrong. "Wen Yan loves you, did the Liao Kingdom put forward any conditions?"

When Wen Yanbo reported it to him yesterday, he only said that the Liao Kingdom was willing to return the lost land, but he did not say what conditions would be required.

Of course Zhao Zhen also thought that the Liao Kingdom would not give them benefits for no reason. There must be conditions, but they should not be too excessive, otherwise Wen Yanbo would not agree.But now it seems that this is not the case.

After all the officials asked about it, Wen Yanbo knew that paper could not cover up the fire, and he could hide some things if he didn't want to.

"Your Majesty, the Liao Kingdom has some conditions. They are now having some friction with Su Shi's army. Unfortunately, the Liao Kingdom is in a food shortage, so they want to exchange some food with us. It is best if we return We can send troops to help them destroy Su Shi."

Wen Yanbo said it cryptically, but these ministers were all human beings, and no one was a fool. He heard it immediately, and lost ground because of his feelings. Next, Zhao Song will provide food and troops.

Everyone understood it, and many people's expressions changed because of it.This includes Renzong Zhao Zhen.

He said that the Liao Kingdom would not be so kind to return the land of Yanyun to Zhao Song. It turned out that it was for himself.

Ordinarily, this is nothing, just an exchange between countries, it is normal.He was angry because Wen Yanbo didn't tell him about this before.

Zhao Zhen was a little angry, but some people were even more angry than him, such as Privy Councilor Wang Deyong.

Wang Deyong and Wen Yanbo had a honeymoon period before, and the two parties had collaborated.But the final result was that both of them ate the melon. If not

It was Zhao Song's unique system where civil servants were the most important. In that incident, the two of them were afraid that they would be doomed.

After that incident, the relationship between the two was not what it used to be.But now, what Wen Yanbo did had completely made Wang Deyong angry.

Without it, Wen Yanbo's move is obviously to take the benefits for himself and give himself the disadvantages.

The credit for taking back the land of Yanyun belongs to Wen Yanbo. Next, he will wipe the opponent's butt and send troops to help the Liao soldiers fight Su Shi?

Is Su Shi so easy to deal with?

Not to mention, if the Song army wanted to fight Su Shi, they would have to travel at least several thousand miles, and the amount of food and grass they would need to consume would be an astronomical figure.If the army is defeated and there are no reinforcements, if he is held accountable at that time, he, the Privy Councilor, will inevitably be implicated.

It would be weird if he could be happy with this feeling of giving benefits to others and taking the disadvantages himself.

Wang Deyong deliberately objected, but before he could say anything, he heard Bao Zheng ask again, "Does the Song Dynasty need us to send troops and food? But I don't know how many troops we will send, how much food we will send, and how much food we will send." There is no limit to how many benefits the Liao Kingdom can give us. From this point of view, I am afraid that the sixteen states of Yanyun alone will not be enough."

Bao Zheng is a person who doesn't want to fight Su Shi deep down.

What's more important is that Bao Zheng has absolutely no confidence in fighting Su Shi.

As for Su Shi's ability on the battlefield, those who have not personally experienced it will never know how powerful and powerful he is.Otherwise, Goryeo would not have been destroyed so quickly, or else the proud Liao army would not ask for help from their Song soldiers.

Su Shi was originally difficult to deal with, so why did the Song Dynasty send troops?

Wouldn't it be nice for Guo and Su Shi to have a fight?
