The First Yamen of the Great Song Dynasty

Chapter 141

After Huarong left, Gao Ming followed King Yun and others to the city.

King Yun laughed and said, "At the beginning when Wang Fu recommended Gao Aiqing to send you as an envoy, I was still worried about you. I didn't expect this matter to be done by you. After a while, at the banquet, you have to talk about it, how did you do it?" Made it."

Gao Qiu also said: "Since you left, I have been in fear. Fortunately, news came a few days ago that Lord Liao had verbally agreed to cancel the old coin. My heart is at ease."

Gao Qiu heard that Yelu Yanxi, the leader of the Liao Dynasty, had a surly temper, so he was afraid that his son would be left behind to shepherd the sheep in the Liao Kingdom.

Gao Ming sensed one thing from his father's expression and words, that is, his father seemed to be only worried about his activities in Liao, and he didn't seem to know that he went to Jin for a tour.

If his father knew, it would definitely not be at the level of concern now.

Gao Ming tentatively asked, "Don't you know that I was taken away by the Jurchens?"

As soon as he said this, he seemed to see that his father's eyes were empty, "What?"

King Yun also stared at him with wide eyes.

Gao Ming curled his lips. This group of Liao people took strict precautions and did not let any news that was not good for them get back to Bianliang.

"It's a long story. On the road, the Jurchens suddenly came out and brought me and Huarong over there. All kinds of things are very complicated. I can't explain it clearly in one sentence. The reason why the Liao Kingdom was able to cancel the annual coin tribute this time is that It also has something to do with the actions of the Jurchens."

Gao Qiu grabbed Gao Ming's sleeve nervously, "Don't, just tell me clearly now, did they do anything to you?"

King Yun frowned, he could probably guess the reason why Jurchen arrested Gao Ming, "Aren't they going to form an alliance with Song Dynasty?"

Gao Ming nodded, "That's true. They want to unite the Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty."

Zhao Kai's expression was not very happy, "How did you answer?" Since the rise of the Jin Kingdom in the east, many people in the court have actually thought of uniting with the Jin to destroy the Liao Dynasty, but because there is no one to mediate, and the Jurchen can't understand the words, Only then did he not move.

Now that this opportunity came to her, Jurchen took the initiative to join forces with Da Song.

But for Zhao Kai, he was not so supportive.The reason is simple. He believes that tearing up the contract with Liao is really not an act of a big country.

Now that the situation is changing, it has set a precedent for violating the agreement. A country without faith may find it difficult to gain a foothold.

Besides, she still knows a little about the Liao Kingdom, and that Jurchen has never been in contact with her before, so she shouldn't trust her rashly.

Gao Ming knew that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were unreliable father and son, and had always supported Zhao Kai.But Gao Ming also became nervous at this moment. After all, he didn't know Zhao Kai's attitude on this matter. If he also supported Lian Jin to destroy Liao, then Gao Ming's way forward would be even more difficult.

"I didn't agree. According to my observation, the Jurchens are uncivilized, fierce and cruel, which is really a serious problem. Moreover, they were oppressed by the Khitan, and they had resentment and anger in their hearts. This anger supports them to be invincible now, but it can also be turned into a weapon to ravage other countries in the future. power."

People who have been bullied are more ruthless when they bully others.

Gao Ming watched Zhao Kai's micro-expression intently, and if he was dissatisfied with his answer, he tried his best to persuade him.

Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan definitely cannot be the king, the other princes have no competitiveness to overthrow the crown prince, to a certain extent, Zhao Kai is extremely important.

As for Zhao Gou, with his current presence, as long as Zhao Ji's other sons were not taken away, there is no possibility of him taking the position.

"You answered very well. You can't agree to the Jurchen's conditions. If you agree, it will be the first of cholera." Zhao Kai said.

After he finished speaking, Gao Ming was obviously relieved, and his tone was full of relief, "What Your Highness said is very true."

Gao Ming couldn't help thinking, it seems that God treats him well, at least he still has Zhao Kai as his comrade in the trenches.

Gao Qiu felt sorry for his son being kidnapped by Jurchen, but at this time he was more concerned about state affairs, "And then, Jurchen just let it go?"

Gao Ming shook his head, looked around, led Zhao Kai and his father to a place alone, and spoke in a low voice about all the things that happened after that.

After the lecture, the Liao State threatened the Song-Jin alliance and asked the Liao State to give up the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun. Zhao Kai couldn't help clapping his hands and praised: "Good plan! That's how it is! Great Song has Gao Aiqing, what a country Fortunately."

Exempting the old currency is only the first step. If you can get the Sixteen States of Youyun back, it will be a great achievement in the present age and a benefit in the future. You will have a national gate to defend, and you will no longer have to endure the pain of being strangled by others.

Gao Ming said: "So, Your Highness, the Great Song Dynasty maintains a neutral state of non-alignment, but in fact secretly supports the Liao Kingdom in exchange for Youyun."

"What you said is very true." Zhao Kai agreed with Gao Ming's point of view. After all, he went deep into the two countries and confronted the ministers and monarchs of the Liao and Jin Dynasties head-on. Moreover, he believed in Gao Ming's ability and his judgment.

If there is anyone today who can afford the four characters of the minister of the humerus, it is Gao Ming.

Zhao Kai actually wanted to say that if Gao Ming was really able to return to Youyun Sixteen States, he would be a hero not only to the Zhao family, but also to the people of the world.

But he couldn't say it yet, afraid of putting pressure on Gao Ming, he just said: "Your vision is right, don't care what others say, just tell the officials your point of view."

Gao Ming took out the memorial in his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Kai, "This is what I have learned along the way, and I have written it into a memorial, please pass it on to your highness. Your highness can control the rise and fall of the world. It is not enough to rely on one person alone, I hope your highness can speak out righteously. "

Gao Ming is a courtier after all, some things cannot be accomplished by his hard work.

Zhao Kai heard what Gao Ming meant, took the memorial and made a promise, "This king will persuade father to accept your proposal."

Gao Ming said: "With Your Highness here, you can really go to the Anzong Temple and go down to the people of An. I will follow you to the death."

Zhao Kai was startled, Gao Ming's words obviously crossed the line, he is still a prince now, only the emperor can deserve such praise.

But he also understood the reason why Gao Ming said these words. He was his confidant, and he was promising to help him fight for the throne.

Zhao Kai immediately smiled, "Okay!"

Gao Ming was delighted and comforted.

More words, tacit, no need to say more.

Gao Ming returned to the Taiwei's mansion, took a bath as soon as possible, changed his clothes, and the father and son entered the palace to participate in the wind feast.

On the way, Gao Ming explained his indirect relationship with the situation of the Three Kingdoms, and he heard Gao Qiu sigh with emotion. If you have a child like this, you will die in peace.Of course, he can't die now, he still has to see his son continue to make contributions.

Gao Ming is a well-deserved protagonist. As soon as he appeared, everyone's eyes were fixed on him. Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others all took the initiative to chat with him.

After all, everyone is curious about such a stunt as pulling a tooth from the tiger's mouth in the Liao Kingdom, and everyone yearns for it.

Gao Qiu looked at his son in such a beautiful way, and looked at Cai Jing with a smile in his eyes, one of my sons is worth five in your family, hahaha.

The people around saw the bright smile on Gao Taiwei's face, and they didn't know what they were thinking in their hearts. It would not be too much to describe it as "smug".

Before the official came, Cai Jing seized the opportunity to ask Gao Ming first, "Nephew, the Lord of Liao promised to cancel the annual coin tribute, but what other demands did he make?"

It's not that Gao Ming reported good news but not bad news. For example, the year-old currency was canceled, but he asked for tribute of grain and tea, and changed the soup but not the medicine.

Gao Ming saw through Cai Jing's thoughts, and replied with a smile: "Prime Minister, Liao Lord did not make any other requests. However, if it is forced to say, it is the problem of the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, and there is room for accommodation."

Youyun sixteen prefectures are about to become the heart demon of the Song Dynasty. Hearing these words, Cai Jing is in a bad mood, "What do you mean?"

Now that Youyun Sixteen States are in the hands of the Liao Kingdom, if we talk about it again, is it about its ownership?Could it be that Da Song can take it back?

No, impossible, dare not think.

Seeing Gao Ming's calm expression, Cai Jing looked at him with a smile, and asked in disbelief, "Could it be that Liao Kingdom wants to return Youyun Sixteen Prefectures to Song Dynasty?"

As soon as this remark came out, the people around who heard it, including Tong Guan, were shocked.

Gao Ming's cancellation of the old coin is already a miracle, and it is basically difficult to ask for Youyun back.

Does Gao Ming really have the ability to ascend to the sky?

Gao Ming smiled and remained silent.

At this time, Gao Ming saw Hua Rong enter the hall led by the little yellow gate, and waved to him, "This way."

When Hua Rong saw Gao Ming, he immediately walked towards him with a smile.

Hua Rong was originally a general, and in the current climate, civil servants would not be willing to marry him.

But this time was different. Although he was a deputy envoy, he accompanied Gao Ming on his mission to the Liao Kingdom and made the Lord of Liao exempt the old coins. Such an achievement would definitely be included in the history books and be rewarded by the officials.

With such an aura, it seems that they can form a good match.

Gao Qiu has been in the officialdom for many years, and he can tell what these colleagues are thinking at a glance. It's not enough to catch a son-in-law under the list, do you want to come to the celebration banquet to catch a son-in-law?

Get out of the way, Huarong already has her own son.

Thinking of this, Gao Qiu couldn't help being a little sad, alas, I have my own son...

Gao Ming waited for Hua Rong to approach, and first teased him, "General Hua, you look so good in clothes, who are you showing them to?"

Hua Rong chuckled, "What do you think?"

Gao Qiu supported his forehead and coughed heavily, reminding them to pay attention to the situation.

At this time, Cai Jing, who was aroused by the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, interrupted Gao Ming, "You said that Youyun seems to have changed?"

Just when everyone gathered around Gao Ming, wanting to ask the truth, the eunuch shouted, "The emperor is here—"

All the officials then left Gao Ming, returned to their respective positions, and saluted Zhao Ji and other relatives of the emperor who came.

The corners of Zhao Ji's mouth almost reached the ears, in a word, I feel beautiful in my heart.

He looked down, quickly found Gao Ming, looked at him and said, "Aiqings are all safe." Then he said: "Gao Aiqing's mission to the Liao Kingdom this time, successfully asked the Lord Liao to put the old coins on my Da Song's head It’s revoked, it’s really my hero in the Song Dynasty. I’ll give Gao Qing’s family a cup first.”

Then a court lady poured wine for Gao Ming. Gao Ming watched the fine wine pour into the cup slowly, then took it with both hands, raised it and said, "Thank you, the official family." He drank the wine in one gulp.

Zhao Ji saw Hua Rong again, and he was in a good mood, so he didn't care too much, "There is also Hua Rong, come, you are also a hero." He also toasted Hua Rong.

Of course he also remembered Wang Fu whom he wanted to see very much, but after a few glances, he couldn't see anyone else, "Eh? Where is Wang Fu?"

"Go back to the official's house, he's sick." Gao Ming said, it seems that Zhao Ji hasn't read his memorial yet.

Considering the occasion, Gao Ming decided not to spoil the fun, and asked everyone to drink happily. Anyway, Wang Fu would not be able to fly with wings tomorrow.

Zhao Ji said, "It's time to trouble him."

After hearing his words, those who traveled with Gao Ming secretly despised them, but considering the emperor's overjoyed mood at this time, everyone held back their complaints for the time being.

Zhao Ji said with a smile: "At the beginning Wang Fu said that Gao Ming would be able to accomplish this matter of pulling out teeth, and he was right. I was thinking, if Gao Aiqing was asked to go on an envoy again, I am afraid that even Youyun will be overwhelmed." Six states can get it back."

After he finished speaking, he realized that he was a little "smug", and joked about the painful place in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, and smacked his lips in embarrassment, "Haha, let's not talk about this, this time I will reward your entire mission Among them, Gao Ming and Hua Rong deserve the most credit. I think Gao Ming should be made the Duke of Jin, and Hua Rong should be the envoy of Yinghai Jiedu."

Gao Ming went up one level, from Hou to Duke, but Hua Rong only added the title of Jiedushi to the original Jiedushi. It's not easy.

Although Gao Ming came back from Liangshan and started his career as a flatterer, with the passage of time, every time he was promoted, he had solid achievements.

The last time he was granted the title of Marquis was because he guarded the city of Hangzhou, rescued King Jing, and captured Fang La. This time, he was granted the title of Duke because he was exempted from the sacrifices to the Liao Dynasty that lasted for several generations.

Even from the most bitter point of view, there is nothing wrong with it.

All the ministers present, when Gao Ming and Hua Rong stood up and thanked the emperor, they could only shout "Emperor Shengming!"

After all, it's not normal for a feat like Gao Ming's to not be sealed.

The work was done, the heroes were granted titles, the emperor was happy, and all the officials drank happily and returned home happily.

Gao Ming was originally a celebrity, but this time he made a great contribution again, and became so popular for a while, when he and his father left the palace, they were surrounded by people who were saying goodbye to him.

As a result, he and Hua Rong had some things to say, but it was not easy to say them face to face.

We can only part in silence and find another time to meet each other tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Now that the celebration is over, it's time to get down to business.

Zhao Kai should have communicated with Zhao Ji. The next day, Zhao Ji called Gao Ming and his son, as well as courtiers such as Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Zheng Juzhong, to the palace to discuss important matters.

Zhao Ji also had Zhao Kai beside him. When the ministers saw him, they were secretly surprised, because Zhao Kai used to be very low-key, and sometimes he even tried to avoid suspicion, but since he openly provoked the prince by guessing lantern riddles during the Lantern Festival, he has become high-key. It seems to have the intention of blatantly seizing the heir.

When Gao Ming saw Zhao Ji's serious expression, he knew that he must have taken the time to read his notes.

He didn't do anything else on the way back, he wrote notes when he was free, and wrote thousands of characters, and they were all in tiny characters, enough for Zhao Ji to read for a while.

In it, he has described everything that happened in detail, and also clarified his point of view.

According to Zhao Ji's personality, he must not be so diligent. The reason why he saw it so quickly is probably due to the credit of King Yun.

Zhao Ji's first sentence when he saw Gao Ming was: "I've read all your scriptures, so today I'm here to summon you and all the lovers to discuss the recovery of Youyun Sixteen States. By the way, if what you said is true That guy, Wang Fu, will be dismissed from his position for the time being and recuperate at home." He looked at Cai Jing and the others who were dazed and staring at each other, and said to Gao Ming, "They don't know yet, so tell them what happened."

Gao Ming said to Cai Jing and the others: "This starts when we leave Tokyo..."

When it came to the fact that Wang Fu was sick and unable to move forward in Cangzhou, everyone didn't say anything, but they knew it in their hearts, and this guy pretended to be sick.

Then when they talked about being kidnapped by the Jurchens halfway, everyone's hearts were raised. Seeing their nervous expressions, Gao Ming thought to himself that you can't stand it like this?The following is even more shocking.

Knowing that it was Hua Rong who single-handedly chased Hua Rong who was kidnapped by Wanyan Zongqiang.

Although Gao Qiu already knew what happened, but after listening to it again, the last trace of entanglement in his heart disappeared, as if his son had a lover, he didn't seem to care about whether it was a man or a woman.

"After we came to the Kingdom of Jin, we met Wanyan Aguda. He told me that he wanted to join the Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty, and give the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures as a reward to the Great Song Dynasty who sent troops." Gao Ming said, as if Throwing it into a calm pond caused a great shock.

Cai Jing thought to himself, this is the way Gao Ming said to take back Youzhou, and he was very happy.

He was about to speak, but Tong Guan, who was more impatient, had already stood up, and said: "This plan can be accomplished, Jurchen rises up, defeats Liao's army in a row, Liao is at the end of its battle, as long as we jointly attack with Jin, Liao will inevitably Destroyed, can wash away the shame of a hundred years. Officials, I am willing to lead the army to directly attack Youyun."

There is military merit in war, so Tong Guan supports the use of force.

"Don't worry, because I refused Wanyan Aguda right then." Gao Ming said bluntly.

Cai Jing felt that it was a cost-effective plan to join forces with Jin to destroy Liao. How could Gao Ming miss this opportunity, "Why? The Liao Kingdom must not be able to withstand the flank attack."

Gao Ming smiled coldly and said, "Who said that the Liao Kingdom can't stand the flank attack? The Khitan people can't beat the Jurchens, how can you say they can't beat the Song Dynasty?"

No one is willing to listen to words that destroy one's ambition and boost others' prestige.

Tong Guan was dissatisfied and said: "As long as the Liao Kingdom is unable to deal with the Jurchen, it is unable to go south. Youyun is originally a Han land. As long as it sends troops, the Han people inside will welcome it. Although it is not said that it will be self-defeating, it does not need to spend anything strength."

Indeed, this group of people thought so in history, thinking that as soon as the Han people inside heard that the Song Dynasty was coming to attack Youzhou, they immediately opened the city gates to wash and deliver food to the Song army.

As a matter of fact, there was fierce resistance, there was no food, but there were a lot of big knives and spears.

Gao Ming analyzed: "They are Han people, but they are also subjects of the Liao Kingdom. Youzhou has been ruled by the Liao Kingdom for a hundred years, and the living customs of the Han people have long been different from those of the Central Plains. Besides, they now live and work in peace and contentment, and are very familiar with everything in Youzhou. There is nothing wrong with it. Why do you suddenly want to accept the rule of the Song State? If you accept it, you will still be ordinary people? The most important thing is that if Youzhou is returned to the Song State, they will not be able to trade at the border, and their income will be greatly reduced. Now Youzhou There are countless merchants in the city, and even many private salt dealers rely on trade to make a living. Once they return to the Song Dynasty, their interests will be mobilized and they will be replaced by Tong Shumi, are you willing? Don't talk about righteousness, can righteousness be used as money?"

Zheng Juzhong, who was then the Taizai, stood up to support Gao Ming, "Youzhou was originally a place heavily guarded by the Liao State, and the people in the city did not want to submit, so a strong attack is definitely not the best strategy. Only the Liao State itself is willing to cede it. The sense of resistance will be much lighter."

Zheng Juzhong didn't get along with Cai Jing before, but he openly supported Gao Ming, which surprised others secretly.

Cai Jing looked at him contemptuously in his heart, you are not dealing with the old man, do you want to switch to Gao Ming, he is so much younger than you, you are too embarrassed.

After all, he is an old Jianghu, and he said without any haste: "Private Tong also went to Liao Kingdom a few years ago, passing through Youzhou, and he also has knowledge, not just a little bit of knowledge."

Gao Ming said with a smile: "I am not the only one with the knowledge in Youzhou, I admit it. Then, does the knowledge in the Kingdom of Jin count? Has anyone of you ever met the Wanyan family? What kind of French style does the Jurchens wear?" What language do you speak? What do you sleep in? What do you eat? How do you hunt?"

Zhao Kai nodded slightly, he was just watching and hadn't spoken yet.

Seeing Gao Mingxian put on a show, Cai Jing was a little dissatisfied, "Even if you know, it doesn't have to be like this."

"Of course it is necessary, because according to my experience, the Jurchens are absolutely unreliable. They are extremely cruel and warlike by nature, and they attacked the Liao Kingdom not all because of hatred, but more to fight for living space. When the barrier is built, Song State borders it, like a piece of fat placed in front of it, it will inevitably invade south. Wanyan Zongqiang is only fourteen or five years old, commanding a hundred horses, he can drive back Liao and Song's four hundred horses, and it snows Tian leans on the horse and sleeps on the ground without any discomfort. May I ask how many officers in the imperial army can do it? Last year, the Jurchen defeated the 70 army of Liao with 20 people. How many imperial troops do we have in the Song Dynasty? Wait for them to develop When it reaches 200, [-] million, even the Liao Kingdom can't handle it, are we sure we can control the huge monster of the Jin Kingdom?"

The idea of ​​uniting the Jin and destroying the Liao Dynasty is completely wrong, and there will never be any market in the imperial court.

He had to completely dispel Cai Jing and Tong Guanlian's idea of ​​Jin destroying Liao, not at all.

If you don't understand it at this time, it will cause endless harm in the future.

Tong Guan has been in charge of the military affairs in the Northwest all the year round, fears and hates the Liao Kingdom, and is still not convinced by Gao Ming's words, "But..."

"How about the Jurchen? For now, I should be the most familiar. Let me just say one thing. The Jurchen performed the goat-raising ceremony for the generals. They were required to be naked from the upper body, wear sheepskin, put a rope around their necks, and be led by others. Crawling into their ancestral temple to express their submission, and performing such a humiliating ritual on the captives, I wonder if Privy Tong would like to live in the Kingdom of Jin for a year or so to experience it.”

Tong Guan was furious, but he didn't practice, and he really didn't have the right to speak, so he hated to keep his mouth shut.

In fact, if the Kingdom of Jin was not so uncivilized, Zhao Ji himself also supported the alliance with Jin to destroy Liao.

Back then, Emperor Taizong Zhao Kuangyi went north to destroy Liao, but was wiped out by Liao, the main force was wiped out, and he escaped by pretending to be riding a bullock cart. Since then, he has hated and feared Liao. It is not too late for a hundred years.

In Zhao Ji's opinion, it is best to send the Liao Kingdom to the west, no matter what, let's talk about it with a bad breath.

Zhao Kai sighed: "The Liao Kingdom has been blown by the wind of the Han land for a hundred years, and it can be persuaded by reason. It is unexpected that the Jurchens are so barbaric to such an extent that it is unreasonable."

Zhao Ji still had to refer to the opinions of his precious son. When his heart wavered, he heard Gao Ming say to Tong Guan: "By the way, when the Jin people heard that our eunuchs in the Song Dynasty could marry wives and concubines, they laughed so hard. Wanyan Zongbi said with great regret, why do eunuchs possess women? They should all be given to Jurchens warriors!"

Tong Guan was so angry that his face was blue and purple, but Gao Ming said casually: "Don't be angry, this is what the Jurchen said, you have to get angry and go find them!"

When Zhao Ji heard this, he remembered Gao Ming's statement in the booklet that Wanyan's family kept inquiring about the number of people in his harem, which seemed to be coveted, combined with the incident of Tong Guan, it made him even more disgusted.

Jurchen really is a hungry wolf.

Zheng Juzhong jumped out and stepped on Cai Jing and Tong Guan, "As a minister of the country, it is not a good idea to break the covenant. It is not feasible to unite with Jin to destroy Liao." He said to Gao Ming: "Please continue to talk about it, what is Liao? manner?"

After Gao Ming talked about his encounters in the Kingdom of Jin, he then talked about the affairs in the Kingdom of Liao. This part focused on the fact that the Liao Kingdom was afraid of the alliance between Song and Jin, and was willing to waive the old coins to appease them. There is room for movement.

After Gao Ming finished his speech, he said to Zhao Ji word by word: "The minister thought that the Great Song Dynasty could not only destroy Liao, but also help Liao fight against Jin. Of course, it was not for nothing. He asked Liao to take out the sixteen prefectures of Youyun in exchange. Soldiers are not bloody, but also It can avoid waste of people and money.”

Zhao Ji already knew that Jurchen was barbaric and powerful; the people of Youzhou had a strong sense of resistance and could not attack by force; the Liao Kingdom had the idea of ​​ceding Youyun.

If you want to be safe, it is indeed on the condition of helping Liao fight against Jin, and taking You Yun back is the best way.

Gao Ming continued: "In short, the Song Dynasty should seek profit between the Liao and the Jin, open the horse market with the Jin, and call their princes into Bianliang to teach them etiquette. On the other hand, negotiate with the Liao to cede Youyun , If the Song Dynasty has Youyun, but also can call the Liao Kingdom to be a pawn and a barrier to resist the Jin Kingdom, let them consume each other, and the Song Dynasty will take the opportunity to train and strengthen itself, so as to protect itself."

Zhao Kai and Zheng Juzhong nodded in agreement.

Cai Jing and Tong Guan also finally knew what Gao Ming meant when he mentioned the sixteen prefectures of Youyun yesterday.

Apart from himself, Gao Ming also had Zhao Kai and Zheng Juzhong on his side, while Cai Jing and Tong Guan were in the opposition.

Originally, there was still Wang Fu in history, but now he has been deposed at home, and the opposition forces have been greatly reduced.

In his heart, Zhao Ji is inclined to unite Jin and destroy Liao, but in essence, he supports whichever plan has the greatest benefits.

Gao Ming felt that he had a good chance of winning.

At this time, Cai Jing said worriedly: "Youyun is an important tax town in the Liao Kingdom. How could they easily cede it? It is definitely not enough to simply threaten the Song-Jin alliance, and you have to give other benefits. This price must be quite expensive, and I am afraid it will not compare with the previous one. There are fewer soldiers attacking."

After all, I still haven't given up on the idea of ​​uniting the Jin Dynasty and destroying the Liao Dynasty.

Zhao Ji nodded, yes, what additional benefits should be given to the Liao Kingdom?If you give too little, the other party will definitely not do it, if you give too much, it will hurt your muscles and bones.

"Gao Aiqing, do you have any ideas?"

I heard Gao Ming throwing his voice and saying: "Yes."

Zhao Ji's eyes lit up, "Say it quickly."

His father, Emperor Shenzong, once set a legacy: Whoever can retake the sixteen states of Youyun will be crowned a prince.

Looking at Gao Ming in front of him, Zhao Ji thought, is this prince going to fall on him?
