Next to the wooden carved window of the palace, the fire of the lanterns reflected red light by red paper.

sand!The curtain was suddenly lifted open, and Guo Shao, whose hair was tied around his head, walked out of it.

Yang Shiliang, who was standing at the door, bent down and said with a fist: Officials, the person who was on duty at the Liao Dynasty's envoy's residence was arranged by officials from the Privy Council.

Who did what?Guo Shao asked.

Yang Shiliang said: There are several people in the Imperial Guard Youzhou who happen to be on duty tonight.Youzhou was the Hebei righteous man who was taken before. These people were deeply harmed by the Khitans, and there were many people who were determined to avenge their families.Now the entire Hebei region has been recovered, but they hated the Khitans to the core. It was reported that they had made peace with the Liao Kingdom, so they took the initiative to assassinate themselves. At present, there was no envoy.

The wind blew the lights in the lanterns swayed, making Guo Shao's face light and dark, and the clouds were unstable.

Yang Shiliang said in a deep voice: The government is still in Chanzhou, and they dare to use swords and weapons without authorization in front of the emperor. It is really a serious crime.

Guo Shao said calmly: The Central Plains and the Liao Kingdom have been fighting for many years, and the blood debt of hatred is unclear.Even if the soldiers of Youzhou Capital assassinate the Liao people for their family enemies, they could have had a false opinion, but what about the imperial guards who died under their swords?

After hearing this, Yang Shiliang bowed and said, "When the people from the Privy Council are tortured, I will tell them this way."

Guo Shao frowned and waved.

...The smell of fishy smell was everywhere in the tent, the room was in a mess, inside and outside had been watched by the army, waiting for the civil servants of the Ministry of Rites to come and deal with the envoys of the Liao Kingdom.

The assassin was captured, and Xiao Siwen calmed down at this time. He took out his handkerchief and gently dipped it on the blood on his face, and took it down to see the handkerchief.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Yang Gun with some gratitude: If it weren't for the Yang Mansion's presence today, our lives would be over.

Yang Gun pressed his hands on his chest and said sincerely: In the past, in the Battle of Pingxia, Xiaguan and others fought with Dangxiang Army with many defeats, suffered heavy losses, and suffered heavy losses.If Mr. Xiao had not come forward to protect him, how could the lower officials live to this day?

Xiao Siwen sighed: In times of distress, his own people are still reliable.

Yang Gun said: Now the national affairs are in a difficult situation, how can you finish your eggs when you collapse your nest?We can only be honest and we can overcome difficulties together.The lower officials have always admired Mr. Xiao very much.

Xiao Siwen looked at Yang Gun's eyes and nodded: My wife (the daughter of Emperor Taizong of Liao) often reminded me to speak for the descendants of Emperor Taizong in front of the Khan.If I can be peaceful this time, I will definitely choose a good opportunity to recommend the Yang Mansion in front of the Khan.

Yang Gun looked excited and said hurriedly: Thank you, Mr. Xiao for cultivation.

At this time, someone outside the door shouted in Chinese: Mr. Lu is here.

Lu Duosun, dressed in black and red robe, walked into the house, looked around, and clasped his fists and said: All the envoys settled in another place, and someone would clean up here.please!

Xiao Siwen and others followed Lu Duosun out of the door and went to the other side of the yard from a corridor with lanterns.Xiao Siwen said: Since Emperor Xu is in Chanzhou, why did anyone come to the hall?

Lu Duoxun turned his head and said: To be honest, this is done by people within the court, and it is really hard to guard against; but please don’t know that such a sneaky thing is definitely not a decision by the court!Mr. Xiao should know that Xu Liao had a grudge for a long time and had blood feuds between each other, even the official family could not easily resolve it.

Lu Duoxun sighed again, glanced at Xiao Siwen, and glanced over Yang Gun's face. This peace talk was not easy, and many people were opposed by the court.

Xiao Siwen said calmly: As long as there is no need to distinguish between brothers, everything else is easy to discuss.

Lu Duosun shook his head without hesitation: If Mr. Xiao had thought so, the matter of the alliance would be ruined.

The group had already walked to another house, and Lu Duosun clasped his fists and said, "It's getting late, Mr. Xiao and the three envoys rested earlier."This official said goodbye first and discussed it tomorrow morning.

Xiao Siwen and others also replied to their goodbye.

Cruff!Several people walked into the room and bolted the wooden door.

Yang Gun said in a deep voice: The situation is wrong. If peace talks are not reached and the two countries continue to fight, I am afraid that it will be difficult for us to go back from this dragon and tiger den!

The other two deputy envoys showed fear on their faces, and one of them said: If the two countries are fighting, the Xu court does not need to betray such a breach of trust.

Yang Gun said: I didn’t hear the official surnamed Lu say that the Emperor of Xu could not easily resolve the hatred, and it was definitely not done by the court!

Xiao Siwen put his hand behind him, looked at the floor tiles for two steps, and thought for a long time.

When he raised his head, he saw that the window was dark outside the darkness looked down on something hidden. The lights in the darkness were dim, like ghost fire.

If Xiao Siwen admits the righteousness of a brother in the enemy country, he can think of it with his toes, and he will take the blame when he returns.

If you don’t agree, not only will you not be able to explain to the Liao Dynasty’s policymakers when you go back, but you will also die in front of you!

well!Xiao Siwen looked at Yang Gun and said, "I want to force me to the extreme... Over the years, except for breaking through Youzhou, there has never been a more sinister situation than now!"He whispered again, "Blacksmith Guo is really so hard-working, you can tell everything clearly, but you just can't do it!"

Yang Gun also looked helpless.

After one night, Xiao Siwen and others packed up and went out early the next morning. He walked into the yard, covered with a quiet morning mist, and it seemed that nothing had happened last night.

He walked for a while and couldn't help but stop because he found that there were still blood stains left in the gaps in the floor tiles.

The dark red-haired and black brick cracks inexplicably had a terrifying atmosphere.

After leaving the gate, Xiao Siwen and others immediately got into a carriage.

There were already pedestrians on the street. He carefully observed the scene outside in the gap in the car window. He was dressed in Han people. A man who had just opened a shop was watching here.

There are all kinds of people in the Han people's cities. Xiao Siwen could not predict where the danger came from, but he could feel that the aura of hatred and conspiracy might be hidden anywhere.

Xiao Siwen sat in the car for hundreds of steps and gradually found that Chanzhou was even more complicated than expected.He saw the lama and the cannibal with completely different faces.

Mr. Xiao, those are Goryeo.Yang Gun suddenly reminded in a low voice.

Xiao Siwen hurriedly looked outside and saw several people in Goryeo costumes bowing to the Han people at the door.

……

The Goryeo envoy held a scepter in his hand and walked into the lobby of Chanzhou Prefecture with a few followers.Soon, a civil servant with a long crown wing behind the official hat walked in.

The Goryeo people are similar to the etiquette of the Central Plains. They should know that the thin young man is a high-ranking official and bow to him to serve.

The official clasped his fists and said: This official is Lu Duosun, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites of Daxu. If you have any questions, please sit down and speak. If there is a memorial, you can submit it to the emperor directly.

The Goryeo messenger thanked him and sat down on the chairs placed on both sides of the lobby, still holding a scepter in his hand.

Sitting down steadily, he held the scepter in his hand and said in Chinese with inaccurate tone: The king of our country was extremely shocked when he heard that Xu Liao had convened the alliance!

Lu Duosun looked calm and listened to the Goryeo envoy's statement very seriously.

The envoy said: In the third year of Shixing, Daxu's army attacked Japan, and the Goryeo Kingdom transferred the Navy to the Association. After that, the two countries jointly attacked the Liao Kingdom, Daxu helped our country to seize the old land of the Bohai Sea.Now Da Xu and Liao are discussing alliances with the Liao Kingdom, what should Goryeo Kingdom do?

At this time, a eunuch bowed his head and whispered in Lu Duosun's ear for a moment. After hearing this, Lu Duosun said: The Goryeo Kingdom lobbied the Jurchen tribes to raise an army and sent troops across the Yalu River, but did not send envoys to inform the court.The officials stationed in Tokyo's Koryo Inn didn't say anything.The officials believed that Goryeo could control the situation in the direction of the Yalu River without much interference.

Lu Duosun said slowly: Daxu's army attacked the Liao Kingdom in the north, colluded with the Goryeo Kingdom to cause chaos, and the two things were not agreed in advance and should be treated as things that had nothing to do with each other.Now the Liao Kingdom sent people to seek peace, and the imperial court discussed it with it, which had nothing to do with the Goryeo Kingdom.

The envoy hurriedly said: The Goryeo Kingdom is similar to the etiquette of the Central Plains court, and the Liao Kingdom is a country of barbaric beasts and cannot be intersected.

Lu Duosun said calmly: We have to discuss the matter. Goryeo did not inform the officials of this military use, so it has nothing to do with the court.He stood up and said, "I have a few groups of people to meet this morning, please forgive me for not staying for a long time."If the envoy has any comments, he can write a memorial and send it to the provincial government office and submit it to the emperor.The place is in the inverted room inside the screen wall of the state yamen.

...Lu Duoxun left the state yamen and immediately went to see Xiao Siwen and others.

Due to delays, when Lu Duosun arrived at the Chanzhou Ministry of Rites, Xiao Siwen, Yang Gun and other four were already waiting there.There were four tea cups on the coffee table. Lu Duoxun glanced at them and they were all full and no one took a sip.

Mr. Xiao has been waiting for a long time.Lu Duosun smiled with a kind smile and bowed his fists.Let's exchange a few greetings to each other.

Lu Duosun did not sit on the chairs placed above the hall, but was still sitting on the coffee tables on both sides, and sat next to the same table with Xiao Siwen.

Everyone sat down, and Lu Duosun took the initiative to say: Recently, the Emperor's Palace was in Chanzhou, and the envoys of various countries went straight to this place if they had any trouble. This official was ordered to be responsible for receiving envoys from various countries, which was really a bit incompetent.I met the Koreans early in the morning. They just opened the city gate early this morning before they arrived in Chanzhou.

Xiao Siwen said calmly: What did the Goryeo people say?

Lu Duosun said in a very casual tone: They said that the Liao Kingdom is a country of barbaric beasts and cannot be intertwined with them.

Yang Gun immediately blurted out: These instigated the Jurchens to rebel and took the Princess of the Daliao and many women to gather for sexual intercourse. This is the matter of barbaric beasts!Once the Liao Dynasty is freed, it is necessary to find the truth!

Lu Duosun said seriously: The princess is a member of the royal family of the Liao Kingdom, which is really a great humiliation!

Yang Gun muttered: It’s easy to have a Jurchen tribe to do this.

Then the people on both sides continued to bargain on the contents of the covenant, spending from morning to afternoon.

Lu Duosun had no hostility towards the envoys of the Liao Kingdom, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant.

But the key condition is not to let go.

During this period, Xiao Siwen and Yang Gun waited to rest in the ear room and discussed privately, but could not find a better solution.

Xiao Siwen suppressed his concerns about all parties, weighed the pros and cons, and finally agreed to the terms of the alliance in the evening.

Sometimes people have no choice at all, and choices are destined to be dead, so you must avoid the disaster of burning your eyebrows first!
