"I am back!"

In Fan's mansion, Fan Zheng opened the door of Fan's house and shouted.

Suddenly,

The whole Fan Mansion was boiling.

"The young master is back!"

"The young master has returned triumphantly!"

After hearing the news, everyone in the Fan family came over and greeted Fan Zheng one by one.

Fan Zheng was proudly enjoying the compliments from everyone in the Fan family. Suddenly, he felt a chill behind him. He turned around stiffly and saw his mother, Mrs. Ma, standing behind him with a frosty face.

"Mother! The child is back."

Fan Zheng immediately put away his pride and said with a guilty look on his face.

Fan Zheng knew that his mother had never made any big demands on him, she just wanted to grow up safely.

However, he never made Ma feel at ease. Whether he gave up his literary career to practice medicine, made a private life decision with Li Qingzhao, or helped Zhao Xu force the palace to take office, as well as this expedition to Pingxia City, he made her fearful every time.

However, the punishment Fan Zheng imagined did not come. Ma held him in his arms, as if he had found something as precious as something lost.

"Mom knows that you have grown up and have great ambitions, but don't you want to take such risks again in the future?" Ma said distressedly as she looked at Fan Zheng, who had a weathered look on his face.

"My child understands!"

Fan Zheng did not refute, but nodded obediently.

Feeling that he was ashamed of his mother, Fan Zheng stayed with his mother in Fan's Mansion for several days to make up for the two months of missing his mother.

"Master! The Xixia envoy has arrived."

Butler Fan came to convey the news from the Ministry of Rites, and Fan Zheng was shocked.

"The Xixia envoy came so quickly!"

Fan Zheng frowned. Xixia was so impatient to come. I'm afraid he was pretending to be a tiger, and worked with the Liao Kingdom to force the Song Dynasty to surrender.

At that moment, Fan Zheng rushed to the Ministry of Rites.

"Fan Zheng, the Prime Minister of Honglu Temple, has met Mr. Su!" Honglu Temple is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites. When Fan Zheng came to report on his duties, he naturally had to first visit Su Shi, the Minister of Rites.

Su Shi was naturally very familiar with Fan Zheng, so he waved his hand and said: "Nephew Su, there is no need to be polite. I am here to introduce you to a colleague!"

"Cai Bian has met Master Fan!"

The middle-aged official on the side raised his hand.

"Cai Bian!"

Fan Zheng raised his eyebrows and was in disbelief at Cai Bian opposite him.

He has long heard about the famous backbones of the New Party in later generations.

"Master Cai has just been transferred to the capital this time and serves as the Minister of Rites. He is well-read in history books and is proficient in the affairs of the Western Regions. The imperial court has specially appointed him as a deputy envoy to assist you in the peace talks with Liao and Xia!" Su Shi said.

Fan Zheng couldn't help but sigh, but about two months after leaving Beijing, there were actually many new party members in the court, which showed that the power of the new party had expanded rapidly.

According to the original historical trajectory, after Cai Bian returned to Beijing, he originally served as the Minister of Rites. However, the emergence of Fan Zheng caused a bifurcation in history. Su Shi made great contributions to Zhao Xu's pro-government, and now he is firmly seated as the Minister of Rites. Take control of the big killer weapon of Di Bao.

Even if Cai Bian comes back, he can only succumb to him.

"Master Cai's official position is higher than that of Fan. How dare you let Master Cai be the deputy envoy." Fan Zheng shook his head and said. Cai Bian's Minister of Rites is the fourth rank, and Fan Zheng's Minister of Honglu Temple is the fifth rank. This is against the rules of officialdom.

"Master Fan, you're welcome. Master Fan's idea of ​​reopening the Silk Road is excellent. If this strategy is feasible, it will not only bring shame to the Song Dynasty for abolishing the annual currency, but also bind the Liao Kingdom. I am willing to help." Cai Bian shook his head.

"Thank you, Mr. Cai, for your help!"

Fan Zheng bowed solemnly. He had to say that although the New Party had many treacherous ministers, there were indeed many passionate people who dedicated themselves to it. No wonder it was able to regroup and return to the court.

Now the two set off together to meet with the Liao and Xia envoys.

Negotiations between the Song, Xia and Liao Kingdoms officially began.

"Doctor Fan, it's been a long time!" The leader of the Song Dynasty peace talks was Fan Zheng, and Yelu Nanyin couldn't help but be surprised.

"You are Fan Zheng, the supervisor of Pingxia City!"

The envoy from the Liao Kingdom was none other than A Wu. When he heard that the envoy from the Song Kingdom was Fan Zheng, the supervisor of Pingxia City, his enemies immediately became extremely jealous.

"Who do I think he is? It turns out to be the defeated general under Pingxia City."

Fan Zheng naturally knew about Wei Ming A Wu's arrival and said scornfully.

"You are defeated? Do you dare to fight with me with real swords and guns?"

Weiming Awu said with great anger.

Fan Zheng sneered: "Can you bear the thunder from Fan?"

When the envoys of the Song and Xia countries met, they became very angry. The high-end negotiations between the great powers of the world were so simple and unpretentious.

Cai Bian couldn't help but smile knowingly when he saw this. This famous evil doctor Fan Zheng gave him a lot of surprises from the beginning.

Yelu Nanyin stared blankly at this scene, and the tall image of the evil doctor Fan Zheng collapsed in her heart.

"You two adults, please don't argue. The three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Xia gathered together for peace talks, not for another dispute!" Yelu Nanyin said helplessly.

Fan Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Fan will naturally give Princess Yelu some face. The Song Dynasty is willing to have a ceasefire and peace talks with Xixia."

Weiming Awu borrowed his donkey and said: "Xixia agrees to the peace talks, but the Song Dynasty must restore the Sui coins. Xixia does not want many, as long as the Sui coins during the Shenzong period are restored."

Wei Ming A Wu looked aloof, as if just a year's coin was like a gift.

"The Liao State agrees and hopes that the Song State will value peace." The deputy envoy of the Liao State said in support.

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "The Song Dynasty agreed to the peace talks, but the Xixia Suiyuan coins must be abolished."

"Song State bullies people too much!" Weiming Awu said angrily.

The envoys of the Liao State were immediately very dissatisfied. The Liao State personally mediated, but the Song State was too ignorant of praise.

Yelu Nanyin frowned and said: "Master Fan is a miracle doctor in this world. A doctor can help the world and save the common people. How can we just watch the Song and Xia countries continue to fight and destroy all lives."

A group of envoys from the Liao State also stepped aside and condemned the Song State.

Fan Zheng sneered and said: "The Song Dynasty has always used Sui coins to seek peace, but Xixia has repeatedly offended. Since Sui coins cannot bring peace, naturally the Song Dynasty does not need to give Sui coins anymore."

"That's nonsense! If the Song Dynasty had not repeatedly crossed the border to build cities, how could Daxia send troops." Weiming Awu angrily accused the Song Dynasty of continuously crossing the border to build Yongle City and Hepingxia City.

Fan Zheng frowned and said, "If Xixia insists on settling old scores, Mr. Cai..."

Cai Bian stepped forward and said: "Xixia invaded our Jinming Village, Haoshuichuan, etc., during the reign of Yingzong Shenzong..."

Cai Bian was indeed very knowledgeable. He quickly counted the numerous blood evidence of Xixia's repeated crimes, and soon made Weiming Awu speechless.

"In this peace negotiation between Song and Xia, the Liao Kingdom can guarantee Xixia. As long as the Song Dynasty restores its annual currency, Xixia will definitely not offend the Song Dynasty again." Yelu Nanyin said helplessly.

If Song Xia continues to settle old scores, they won't be able to finish it in a month, and Xixia will be completely unreasonable.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said: "It's not that we don't trust Princess Yelu, but that Xixia is capricious and has betrayed her trust many times. Each time, she collected the coins the day before yesterday and immediately violated the rules tomorrow. Xixia has overdrafted her credit, and the Song Dynasty will no longer I believe Xixia."

Cai Bian and others nodded one after another. Xixia could not be trusted. This was recognized by the court. Now that the Song Dynasty had found a way to resist Xixia, it was naturally unwilling to give Xixia new coins.

Weiming Awu sneered: "During the Song Dynasty, Xiangzhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong. The abolition of the Xia Kingdom's annual coins is just the beginning. I'm afraid the Liao Kingdom's annual coins are not guaranteed either!"

Fan Zheng nodded without hesitation and said: "Yes, the officials of the Song Dynasty were determined not to cede territory or use new currency. If the Xia Kingdom's annual currency is abolished, the Liao Kingdom's annual currency will naturally be abolished as well."

In an instant, the Honglu Temple was filled with a sense of solemnity. The Liao Xia envoys suddenly stood up and looked at Fan Zheng with murderous intent.
