Chapter three hundred and six pressing step by step
Last time, Dou Yi came alone because of the incident in Yongtai County, Fuzhou, and came to ask for details. But this time it was different. This time it was with the imperial edict of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, which represented the will of the entire Song Dynasty, and it also expressed the attitude of asking for guilt.
"Your Highness King Han, you, the Navy of Nantang, have been angered by the officials this year. You should not have any delusions when you wait." Dou Yi's slightly cloudy eyes flashed with a trace of light. Could it be that he really thought that their intentions were unknown?
"Oh, I'm not hiding the envoy. I'm just an idle prince. I was born to enjoy wealth and honor. I would never dare to interfere in this military and national affairs. As for the matter of the navy, I only know a few words. It seems that because the water thieves are too rampant, they naturally have to crack down on them in order to protect the livelihood of the local people. We are supported by the people, so we naturally have to maintain local peace, otherwise what is different from clay sculptures?" King Han refused to admit it. Some things you can do, but you must not recognize them. If you recognize them, something will happen.
"Shui Pirate? Haha, even so, but this time, I have to give an explanation for the incident in Fuzhou." Dou Yi gently twisted his beard, and it was difficult for him to expose it. After all, this time he came not for this matter, and the main thing was important.
"I wonder what the nobles want to say?" Li Congshan handed over the food box, which was filled with exquisite pastries specially prepared, signaling Dou Yi to taste it.
"It's not convenient to talk to King Han about this matter. When you meet the king, you'll talk about it." Dou Yi picked up the snack and tasted it. It tasted pretty good, but this taste must not be leaked. Otherwise, King Han knew that asking him to go to Kaifeng, which would inevitably add to the twists and turns to this matter.
"I am holding a banquet in Wenxiang Pavilion. I am welcome to the noble envoy, so please don't refuse." Li Congshan also knew that the man in front of him was drunk and was about to get drunk and took out some useful information.
"Your Majesty, I am a little tired today. Just go to the inn to rest." Dou Yi knew what the other party was thinking. It seemed that his drinking character was well known to everyone in the south. It was all caused by the Feitian wine. If it was spread to the Song Dynasty, I would probably not be able to protect my later years and I would have to control it this time.
Li Congshan repeatedly invited him and even suggested the entire service later, which made Dou Yi very moved. But after all, he was a famous scholar and could still overcome his desires without being drunk.
"The good intentions of King Han, I am grateful. This time the job is important. I should go back to the inn to recuperate first, so I can meet the king tomorrow." Dou Yi was bleeding when he said this. I had long heard of the Wenxiang Pavilion in Jiangning. The women in the pavilion not only have excellent appearance, but also have unique skills. If they taste it one by one, it would be worth it if they die.
"Since the envoy has settled, I can't force you. If you have a chance next time, don't refuse." Li Congshan looked disappointed. There was no chance of this matter, so he could only wait for news from tomorrow's palace.
"It's easy to say!" Dou Yi bowed and beat him up. If he really wanted to leave the palace tomorrow, he could arrange it, Dou Yi muttered to himself.
However, if that matter is done, I am afraid that the person in front of me will not have the heart to receive him. If he doesn't cause trouble for himself, he will be determined.
Next, both of them closed their eyes and rested, with their own thoughts, and the carriage headed towards the post office
The hall gallops fast.
On October 25th, snowflakes began to fall in Jiangning early in the morning. The first snow this winter was slightly earlier than in previous years. The first snow usually melted faster, with only a little snow on the roof.
In the Jinling Palace, the tall city walls could not stop the raging north wind. The palace maids and eunuchs were walking around in small steps, as much as possible, not letting their feet freeze. Only the guards on the palace walls were still walking in a fixed rhythm, constantly moving back and forth, shocking the little ones.
Compared to the cold outside the house, the imperial study room was much warmer, and the best bamboo charcoal never stopped. The king of the country, Li Yu, looked red, not hot, but was so angry that he was just annoyed by the imperial edict of the Song Dynasty that he actually asked him to go to Kaifeng to apologize himself. How could this be possible?
"Your Majesty, I don't know when I can go on the road?" Dou Yi put the imperial edict on his hand and handed it to An Jinhai who was serving him. He looked at Li Yu for a while and waited for the other party to take action.
"The state affairs are heavy, and if I leave, I may be in trouble." Li Yu felt sweat on his forehead. Could it be that it was really time for a showdown? He originally thought that he would spend more years on a safe birthday, but he was not ready yet.
"This time the official family is furious, and they always have to give an explanation. It is impossible to go there vaguely." Dou Yi sat down directly. He represented the Song Dynasty this time, so he naturally had to make some gestures.
"The Lord cannot do anything about the Loyal and Brave Army. Just like the Qingyuan Army before, I believe the official can understand it. Didn't Lord Dou go to Jianzhou last time? The Loyal and Brave Army is brave and good at fighting, but it is even more rebellious. They only listen to the Marquis of Zhenhai, and what Gu means..." Li Yu spread his hands and spitted, as if he had suffered a huge grievance.
Dou Yi was a little convinced when he heard this. After all, the Jiedushi who held heavy troops and controlled one side had always been a headache for the superiors. Even if the Jiedushi did not control military power in the Song Dynasty, he was still afraid of the officials and was wary of them everywhere.
"If the Zhongyong Army can be allowed to withdraw from Fuzhou territory and hand over Zhenhai Hou to his official position, it should be able to calm the anger of the official." Although he knew it was impossible, Dou Yi still said this, this is the negotiation technique.
"Mr. Dou, how is this possible? The Zhongyong Army must not make trouble to the sky?" Although Li Yu didn't know if he did this, the Zhongyong Army would rebel, but at least he became the second in the Qingyuan Army. After all, if someone beats to death in front of him, you will sell him. This will inevitably cause the hearts of all the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty. I am afraid that the Song Dynasty will fight in the future and there will be no one who resists.
"Then you have to give me an explanation? The official issued an order and just returned empty-handed. I don't care. I'll just let it go. But if the king is willing to see what happened later, please think twice." Dou Yi spread his hands and threw all the pressure to Li Yu.
"What will happen next? Please give me some advice." Li Yu was shocked. The scene he least wanted to see was probably about to happen.
"Our Song Dynasty Imperial Army Generals, Cao Bin and Pan Mei, led elite troops to Yangzhou and Hezhou to station in case of an accident." Dou Yi did not hide the strategic intentions of the Song Dynasty. I believe that the Southern Tang court would soon know this information. Since it was for the purpose of deterrence, it would be necessary to make great contributions.
"Why is this? We worship it all year round and sincerely worship the Song Dynasty as the sect leader.
, I really can't make the decision at this moment." Li Yu was anxious. Cao Bin and Pan Mei were both the confidant generals of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. These two led the army to Hezhou and Yangzhou, like two knives, which were placed on both sides of Jiangning. If you were not careful, the body would be separated.
"Your Majesty, I can't decide on this matter, but just a soundtrack. It's better for the lord to go to Kaifeng and tell the people personally, so that I can have a chance to recover." Dou Yi just didn't let go and continued to put pressure on Li Yu. The tighter the tighter the tamper, the easier it would be to let the other party go.
"I really can't live without this place. I wonder if I can choose someone else to go to Kaifeng to explain it?" Li Yu was beaten to death and refused to go to Kaifeng. Once he went there, it would be a meat bun to beat a dog. The Song army would have taken advantage of the fact that the Southern Tang Dynasty had no leader to go south and easily seized the great country in Jiangnan.
"Who can replace the lord?" Seeing Li Yu approaching the route he set, Dou Yi was overjoyed, but he didn't show any expression on his face.
"Sun Aiqing, the Minister of Rites, is the pillar of my court. He has always admired the style of the Song Dynasty. You can go to Kaifeng for me." Li Yu thought about it. The Ministry of Rites is still more suitable. The Minister of Rites has always been loyal to the master of his worries, so he must be willing to go this journey.
"Your Majesty, if you really have no sincerity, you might as well give up. Dou will return to Kaifeng now." When Dou Yi heard this, how could this be possible? If a minister of the Ministry of Rites really took it back, the government would probably think that his head was kicked by a donkey.
"Mr. Dou, don't worry, you might as well point out a clear path. Who will go to Kaifeng to solve this dilemma?" Li Yu was shocked. If the Song Dynasty really came south with all its might, it would be tense with Nanyue at this time, and the ending would be bad.
Li Yu knew very well that if he wanted to strengthen himself, the Northern Song Dynasty would inevitably put pressure on him. But now, just a little bit of news in Fuzhou, the Song Dynasty was in a big way, which was beyond his expectations. The Tang Dynasty was not ready to go to war, or it would never be prepared.
"This person must be the closest person to the king of the country. He comes from the royal family. There are always people who are looking for him between the government and the country. Only such a person can take this opportunity to Kaifeng instead of the king of the country and relieve the anger of my official family." Dou Yi roughly explained the conditions. There was only one person in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty that could be satisfied, and it was tailor-made for the King of Han.
"In this case, only the younger brother Congshan, but now, the younger brother of the orphan is getting worse and worse, so it is probably difficult to do it." Li Yu naturally couldn't bear to send Li Congshan to Kaifeng, although it was much better than going there by himself.
"There is no other way. I hope the king will make a decision early." Dou Yi bowed his hand.
"Can you give me some time?" Li Yu had no idea for a moment and could only use the dragging technique. It would be considered a day.
"In two days, within two days, Dou must cross the river to the north, otherwise our elite imperial guards of the Song Dynasty would be launched and there would be no chance of recovery." Dou Yi would not delay here. Although Jiangnan is good, the humidity in winter is too heavy and I am extremely unaccustomed to it, unless I live in Wenxiang Pavilion.
"Okay, I think about it again. Come and send Lord Dou out of the palace." Li Yu seemed to have been exhausted and he was completely relieved.
