Ouyang Bian lowered his head to look at the short Li Bingchang.

I saw Li Bingchang as he was above him yesterday, but I didn’t think anything was there, but today the two stood quite close. Ouyang Bian then realized that Li Bingchang was really short.

But it is normal. Most people in this era are short. Li Bingchang is only fifteen years old and probably still develops late. Standing in front of himself, who is 185cm tall, he naturally looks very short.

When Ouyang Bian heard Li Bingchang's praise, he felt no trouble in his heart and even wanted to laugh.

Li Bingchang made an appointment with him, Ouyang Bian knew exactly what he was thinking.

Sure enough, after a few greetings, Li Bingchang began to say intentionally or unintentionally: "I admire the etiquette of the Song Dynasty the most. The etiquette of the Song Dynasty is so grand. It is not as petty as Fan Li. I and my mother mentioned this matter many times, but both my mother and the uncle disagreed. But before Han Li was the ancestral law established by the previous emperor. How could it be abandoned like this? The scholars thought?"

Li Bingchang clearly mentioned Han rituals and Fan rituals, but in fact what he wanted to tell Ouyang Bian was that he wanted to get close to the Song Dynasty, but now that Empress Dowager Liang's brothers control the government, he, as an emperor, did not speak as an emperor. If the Song Dynasty could help him regain power, he would definitely let Xixia get close to the Song Dynasty.

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "The Han rituals and foreign rituals are good. Song Xia is a country of brothers. Just do business well."

Li Bingchang felt angry.

Ouyang Bian means, don’t mess with these false things, I don’t care whether you are a Han ritual or a foreign ritual. Whether you are in charge of power or not, I just need to do business and make money.

Ouyang Bian's refusal is very clear.

Li Bingchangqiang smiled and said, "Although that is the case, the country that performs Han rituals knows honor and disgrace to understand right and wrong, and the country that performs foreign rituals performs the behavior of the weak and strong. Although Song Xia is a country of brothers, the brothers who perform Han rituals are naturally friendly and respectful. Brothers who perform foreign rituals may fight with each other."

Ouyang Bian smiled slightly.

Li Bingchang means that the Liang family governs the rule of the foreign rituals, and the foreign rituals refer to the Liang family. Then the Han rituals are naturally Li Bingchang. The Liang family may fight against the Song Dynasty because of their interests, but if he is in power, he will bow to the Song Dynasty.

Ouyang Bian disagreed.

What's the benefit of this to him?

If it was the past, it would be interesting to keep the border stable and the country and the people would naturally be peaceful, but now what Ouyang Bian wants is not peace.

Ouyang Bian shook his head and said, "The foreign etiquette has its own flavor. The Prime Minister of Liang is also a Han Chinese and a well-educated person. He also traded with the Song Dynasty quite frequently. The two countries benefited a lot. It is really not advisable to act too much. It is really unwise to be rude to do it."

Ouyang Bian means that Liang Yi and I worked well, so I won’t talk about this muddy water.

Li Bingchang showed a fierce look on his face and said slowly: "But what if all the ministers and nobles in the court oppose it?"

Li Bingchang means that cooperation seems good now, but there are many nobles who have not benefited from cooperation again. Now these people are here to support me. If I raise my arms, they will definitely oppose the Liang family. At that time, the Liang family will definitely end the honeymoon between Song and Xia for the sake of the overall situation, and then the big battle will inevitably start again.

This sentence is quite threatening to Ouyang Bian, because Ouyang Bian was the strategic envoy of Yongxing Army Road. According to general understanding, literati do not like to fight. If a big battle starts again, Ouyang Bian, the strategic envoy will be the first to bear the brunt.

Ouyang Bian smiled in his heart, this was not right.

He was worried that there was no excuse. As a big battle, his strategy was just right to interfere in the army and just stuff people into it. If it were peacetime, it would be difficult for him to do such things.

Ouyang Bian thought about it and really asked Li Bingchang to do something, otherwise it would be really difficult to have a chance.

"Your Majesty, no!"

Ouyang Bian showed an anxious look on his face, as if he was frightened by the steep prospect.

Ouyang Bian whispered: "Your Majesty, it is better to be harmonious. The Song and Xia countries are brotherly countries. They are fighting fiercely, and the people of the two countries are suffering!"

Li Bingchang was excited and thought that he had lost the lifeblood of Zhong Ouyang Bian, so he no longer hid: "Grandmaster, help me get back the power. As long as I get back the power, Song and Xia will be in good terms forever and will no longer engage in war!"

Ouyang Bian smiled bitterly and said, "I have limited abilities, I am just a strategic envoy..."

Li Bingchang stood on tiptoe and patted Ouyang Bian on his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Grand Secretary, I know what you mean, I naturally have the bargaining chips here to convince the emperor of your country. I just want to ask Grand Secretary, are you willing to help me?"

Ouyang Bian was a little hesitant.

Li Bingchang decided to give a strong medicine: "I can ced the land of Hedong to Song!"

"What!"

Ouyang Bian was shocked.

Li Bingchang nodded affirmatively: "Yes, several states east of the Yellow River can be given to the Song Dynasty. If the Grand Secretary succeeded in this matter, he would definitely achieve great achievements and would definitely return to the center again!"

Ouyang Bian's heart moved. It seemed that Li Bingchang was not simple. This sentence revealed an unusual meaning.

Returning to the center is not just a casual statement. Most of them refer to those who were demoted from the capital, so they would use this word. Li Bingchang must have known his situation and said this.

The key is that Li Bingchang had such a plan just now, and I think he had been planning for a long time.

"Your Majesty, why is a foreign minister?"

Ouyang Bian stared at Li Bingchang and asked.

Li Bingchang smiled and said, "I need a Grand Secretary, and a Grand Secretary also needs me."

Ouyang Bian laughed.

Li Bing is not very old, but none of the people sitting on the dragon throne is really simple.

I believe that Li Bingchang believed that he was demoted from the capital and must have tried every means to return to the center. Since he had something to ask for, it was normal to unite together.

Seeing Ouyang Bian's smile, Li Bingchan was quite happy: "So did the bachelor agree?"

Ouyang Bian nodded and said, "Your Majesty can have a token. Foreign ministers want to report to our emperor secretly. If there is no token, it may be difficult to win the trust."

Li Bingchang was overjoyed: "Natural and natural. I personally wrote a letter and brought it back by the bachelor's. I hope the bachelor will not mislead me!"

Ouyang Bian nodded with a smile.

Li Bingchang quickly wrote a letter, even stamped his own private seal and gave it to Ouyang Bian.

Ouyang Bian said goodbye.

On the way back, Ouyang Bian was excited and sighed for Li Bingchang's fate.

Although Li Bingchang was a little bit thoughtful, he couldn't sit steadily in this position because he trusted others so easily. No wonder there was no good ending in history.

If you want to win Liang Yi’s favor, just send this letter and Li Bingchang will become a traitor. By then, he will be just a traitor.
