"Who said that you must use copper coins to pay? What the Song Dynasty lacks is horses. Even if Wang Shao can successfully obtain Xihe, it will take a long time to produce horses for the Song Dynasty to use. We need multiple channels to obtain horses. Even if the capture of war is a relatively quick way, it is too great and the risk is quite high. If you win this battle, you need high compensation. The purpose is to squeeze some horses from Xixia and come back. Even if they refuse to give it to them, it will be the same. It just so happens that the farming requires a large number of plowing oxen!" Wang Jinghui said with a smile.

After hearing Wang Jinghui's explanation, everyone showed relief, but Wang Anshi and Sima Guang thought of another thing - before the appearance of the prince-consort, the price of cattle and sheep in the Song Dynasty was high, but in just four or five years, the price of livestock was reduced by more than one-fifth. Some powerful people on the street market in Biandu used to go out with ox carts, but now there are more horse carts. It can be said that this is entirely the credit of the prince-consort!

From the initial smuggling to the recent robbery, this process made Wang Anshi and Sima Guang somewhat uncomfortable, but there was no doubt that the Song Dynasty used the various suggestions presented by the son-in-law to dig the corners of the Western Xia and Liao Kingdoms, which not only allowed the Song Dynasty to establish tens of thousands of cavalry troops in a short period of time, greatly alleviating the tension of the people's livestock. A large number of plowing oxen arrived on the market, making the people of the Song Dynasty more labor-saving and faster to plant crops. Despite the constant disasters of all sizes and sizes, the Song Dynasty still achieved a great harvest of grain in recent years. Although the advice of the son-in-law was not on the table, there was no doubt that this was of great benefit to the Song Dynasty! Wang Anshi and Sima Guang looked at each other in shock. After they thought of more things related to the son-in-law, they found that the situation in the Song Dynasty was almost always the one who was silently reversing!

Wang Anshi said: "This is a good idea. If you can, the more you will be better!"

Emperor Zhao Xu said: "If you can sign this peace agreement, you will be a hero of the Song Dynasty. I will reward you well!"

"I don't need any reward. The soldiers of the Duke of Wei and the others in the northwest are the greatest heroes. I just talked and used the Duke of Wei and the others' momentum to threaten the Dangxiang people. The Duke of Wei fought with the Dangxiang people in the northwest this time, and the materials seized were very abundant. The soldiers were inevitably exhausted after a long battle. I also asked the emperor to issue an order to praise the soldiers in the northwest. With the heart of restoring the soldiers, I would also take this opportunity to understand the negotiations with the Dangxiang people as soon as possible and sign all the collegial terms."

Wang Jinghui's proposal was praised by everyone. Now it is time to praise the soldiers at the border. Otherwise, if the days are delayed, changes will inevitably occur. If it were put in the past, whether it was Sima Guang or Wang Anshi, they would try their best to reduce the rewards of the soldiers. To avoid the emptiness of the treasury, after all, it is not to expand the territory, and it is enough to reward them appropriately. However, the list of seized materials sent back by Duke of Wei Han Qi was very rich, with more than 60,000 war horses alone, which does not include Han Qi's repayment of the two thousand war horses given by Wang Jinghui's industry. It was just a small part of the Dangxiang ranch between Wuxin and Hongzhou City and the Jianing Military Office. There were countless cattle and sheep, and the horses on the horse farm were brought back to the Song Dynasty at one point. This alone was 15,000 horses, which was really a great harvest.

Emperor Zhao Xu instructed the Secretariat to formulate a reward charter, allocating one tenth of the land cattle and sheep among the trophys as rewards, and the original number repaid all the losses of the security guards in this battle of defense. All the ministers had no objection to the emperor's reward. After all, the Duke of Wei and others were strong, and they turned a serious loss into a huge profit-making transaction, and no one would stand up to object at this time.

Three days later, Aliti, the envoy of the Dangxiang peace talks, signed a collegial treaty between the two countries with Wang Jinghui, the son-in-law of the Song Dynasty, with an extremely shameless mood. This treaty was a treaty that was completely unfavorable to Dangxiang. It not only stipulated that one million yuan of reimbursements for the Great Song Dynasty war, all captured Dangxiang soldiers would be redeemed in the form of gold, silver, cattle and sheep. Each grade of Dangxiang general has a different price, and the redemption price of the survivors in the captured army was four times that of ordinary soldiers. Such a price was almost destined to be redeemed by their tribe members in Xixia.

During these three days, it was extremely painful for Aliti because the negotiating opponent he faced was Wang Jinghui. This made him very regretful why he did not sign a peace talks when he had a peace talk with a senior official in the Secretariat of the Song Dynasty some time ago. This gentle and elegant son-in-law of the Song Dynasty was simply a wolf in human skin. There was almost no right to speak in the peace talks. All the treaties and regulations were decided by this son-in-law, and Aliti had almost no room for bargaining.

During these three days, Aliti also saw the body of Liang Gewei, the prince-in-law of the Song Dynasty, who was not yet pianized. Liang Gewei's body was well preserved. Although the body had been dehydrated and became dry, Aliti still recognized that this was Liang Gewei, the nephew buried by Liang Yi. As for Liang Gewei's body, Aliti was inevitably slaughtered by Wang Jinghui - the body of the late General Dangxiang actually required five hundred high-quality horses! Such a request almost made Aliti explode on the spot, and even the idea of ​​killing Wang Jinghui, but he still swallowed his anger and wrote down the account.

When the emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty learned that the son-in-law and Liang Gewei's body were sold for a good price, they looked at each other. This son-in-law was really bad, and he didn't even let go of the dead. However, the market for five hundred high-quality horses in Bian Capital almost reached a million yuan, which was almost a war indemnity. Unlike the unscrupulous monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty, the storytellers in the streets and alleys of the Bian Capital not only gave a vivid description of the Duke of Wei Han Qi in the northwest to resist the Dangxiang army, but also gave the storytellers of the Xiaowang Prince of the Song Dynasty to fight against the Dangxiang envoy in the Song Dynasty, forcing him to sign the first proud peace agreement in the history of the Song Dynasty, which was as if they had seen it with their own eyes. For a moment, the momentum of the Xiaowang Prince of the Bian Capital was comparable to that of the Duke of Wei Han Qi, and the story of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty and the Prince of the Xiaowang Prince of the Song Dynasty met with each other.

Just when Wang Jinghui's reputation reached its peak, Wang Jinghui and his wife, Princess of Shu, Zhao Qianyu, entered the palace to meet the saint. In the Cishou Palace of the Empress Dowager, they asked Emperor Zhao Xu, Emperor Zhao Shu and Old Lady Cao to resign from their post as a direct scholar in Longtu Pavilion and leave Biandu to go to Jiangnan for a trip.

Facing the kneeling husband and wife, the core members of the Song Dynasty royal family were moved. Wang Jinghui's attitude of requesting retirement this time was extremely firm and begged Emperor Zhao Xu to agree to their request.

"Can't you keep your beloved because of the prosperity of Bian Capital?!" Emperor Zhao Xu said angrily.

"The emperor's favor for me is also a thoughtful thought to me. But I also owe the princess a lot. Since I joined the officialdom, I have been with Qianyu for very little. Qianyu is pregnant and waiting for childbirth. I am also in Chuzhou and cannot protect me. In the past, I really cannot be at ease! The current prosperity of the Song Dynasty is in peace, and the dispute with Dangxiang will be temporarily calmed down. I believe that the ministers in the court can do better than me. The emperor only needs to remember to benefit the people and benefit the Song Dynasty, and naturally they can be as stable as Mount Tai. After the matters in the temple, I should also retire. It is time to accompany Qianyu. The emperor will not bear to see me ashamed of Qianyu like this, right?!" Wang Jinghui said with a choking voice without raising his head on the ground.

"Then you don't have to go to Jiangnan! Is Bian not suitable for you to live in?"

"Master, I am afraid that I am in the capital of Bian. I am a commoner. I am a commoner. Only by thanking the emperor, I can do my best to the court and the country. Now I should also care about my wife and daughter!"

"I also want to use my beloved to pacify the party. How can I abandon me halfway?!"

"The specific matters to eliminate the Dangxiang have been basically decided. Even if I am not here, Wen Jiefu, Junshi, Wu Guo Kui and Wang Shao can help the emperor to solve his problems. I just lived in Jiangnan for a while and wanted to stay quietly with Qianyu. When the emperor issued an imperial edict with the court, I must return to the emperor thousands of miles away to continue serving. However, the emperor must give me more rest time!" "The prince-in-law is just going out for a short stay. He doesn't want to come back, and the Ai family still can't bear to leave Shu Kingdom, how can he allow him to stay away for a long time?! The emperor can let him go!" Old Mrs. Cao still sat in the pearl curtain as usual to meet guests. Even when facing Wang Jinghui, the same is true.

Emperor Zhao Xu pondered for a moment and knew that his brother-in-law seemed easy to talk to, but he was not less stubborn than Wang Anshi and the others. Once he made a decision in his heart, even if he was the lord of the Nine Five, he could not take away his ambition. The Empress Dowager's words just now pointed out that as long as he had his own sister, Wang Jinghui would not be able to stay away for a long time. At that time, the imperial court summoned him, and the prince-consort would obediently follow the princess to return to Biandu.

"Since you have decided to leave, I can't stop you, but I ask you to be the Jiangnan Fengguan Envoy, so you don't have to cut off this scholar in Longtu Pavilion!" said Emperor Zhao Xu.

"Xu'er, let's avoid this Fengguan Envoy, and the scholars in Longtu Pavilion will also be stripped away!" The Supreme Emperor Zhao Shu said slowly while sitting in the wheelchair designed by Wang Jinghui.

"Father, the prince consort must not be without official positions!"

"Xu'er, the prince-consort wants to temporarily take the work of documents. If he still has an official position, what's the difference between it and being in Biandu?!" After the Supreme Emperor Zhao Shu said that, he turned to the kneeling couple Wang Jinghui and his wife and smiled and said, "Change it, it takes more than half a year to go here, and at least two months to return to Biandu from Jiangnan! Come here, you can take the Fang Yupeng here first. You will inevitably see a few officials who are not obsessed by their duty to go to Jiangnan. You can use this pendant to hand over these officials to local superiors and escort them to Biandu for interrogation, but your dear minister must also attach enough confessions to cure their crimes!"

"Thank you, Father!" Wang Jinghui smiled and took over the jade pendant given by the Supreme Emperor Zhao Shu. What the Supreme Emperor Zhao Shu gave him was what he wanted most. Originally, he resigned from all local officials to escape political storms. He went to and from the Secret Pavilion for many years and read a large number of royal books, which had a very detailed account of the century-old history of the Song Dynasty, which also gave him a very deep understanding of the political tradition of the Song Dynasty. The political storm in the Song Dynasty sometimes came very inexplicably. Ding Wei was a student of Kou Zhun during the Zhenzong period. Originally, Ding Wei respected Kou Zhun very much, but at a banquet Ding Wei helped the teacher wipe off the soup from his beard, and Kou Zhun said: "You are already a political affairs officer, and you can't do this anymore." Just one sentence ruined the deep relationship between the two. Since then, Ding Wei began to attack and exclude Kou Zhun and knew that Kou Zhun had fallen.

Wang Jinghui knew that his understanding of politics was far less profound than that of Wang Anshi, who had been ups and downs in the officialdom for many years. He was already in a unique position and would inevitably be attacked. He always relied on the favor of two generations of emperors to pass the test. This trick would not last long. The best way was to move forward and retreat and hide his strength. Although this method was not what he wanted, as long as he could maintain a strong influence on the top leaders of the Song Dynasty, these small losses were nothing. However, although Wang Jinghui

However, he felt that he could live in seclusion among the people to do something more practical to slowly change the ground floor. But he would never allow himself to "betray the world for 30 years" like Wang Anshi. Even if he was young, he could not withstand such great losses. In this way, Jiangnan would still use retreat as an advance to push Wang Anshi to the front to destroy the conservative forces of the Song Dynasty. He could take this opportunity to devote himself to development. In the future, Emperor Zhao Xu and the conservatives who now have increasingly greater opinions on him will eventually remember to clean up the mess.

Wang Jinghui was still planning to go to Jiangnan to live a seclusion with his wife. He also wanted to rectify the officialdom in Jiangnan and arrest a few corrupt officials to establish his authority, but the conventional approach was to write a few memorials to impeach, which was far less effective than the jade pendant given by his father-in-law, which could save him a lot of trouble. The Supreme Emperor Zhao Shu gave him this jade pendant when he used it.

Basically, this official’s crime was made true. As long as his memorials and the criminals were sent to Dali Temple for trial, it was basically a matter of dethroning the official and exile. So thanking his father-in-law comes from his heart.

In the first year of Xining in the Song Dynasty (1069 AD), Emperor Zhao Xu issued an imperial edict, removing Wang Jinghui from all official positions. He only retained his son-in-law Duwei's title and title, and appointed and removed the new top scholar Li Shenzhi in Hangzhou, who was only eighteen years old. After learning about this strange imperial edict, officials of the Song Dynasty were surprised, but there was no doubt about this, and the imperial edict was successfully passed through the Secretariat and Menxia Province.

The censors of the Song Dynasty, such as the Censorate and the Censorate, did not buy the appointments of Emperor Zhao Xu and all the ministers. For a time, the memorials of opposing and agreeing and impeaching the son-in-law were filled with the imperial case of Emperor Zhao Xu, and ministers such as Wang Anshi, Sima Guang and others were not allowed to live. Several officials who participated in the political affairs were almost broken by visitors.

Emperor Zhao Xu naturally had a small account of these memorials about the son-in-law. He had annoyed him about the memorials impeachment of the son-in-law. He could not even know what his censor wrote without reading these memorials. However, although he did not read the memorials of the impeachment of the son-in-law, he attached great importance to those memorials that opposed the resignation of the son-in-law, and just silently recorded the names of the memorials. Due to the firm attitude of the Secretariat and the Menxia Province, the imperial edict of the Emperor Zhao Xu was finally implemented. Such a strange appointment was ten in the eyes of outsiders.

The most unsolvable thing in the middle was Aliti, the envoy of Dangxiang peace talks who was still stranded in Biandu. After learning the news, Aliti even thought that the monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty had a problem with their minds, but what made him even more regretful was that all this came too late. He had signed a peace talks, and he even thought that as long as he could hold on for a few more days, his negotiating opponent would be dealt with by the Song Dynasty, and there was no need to be so angry. With a very depressed mood, Aliti left Biandu with great regret and embarked on the way back to Xixia.

Aliti was very depressed, but what was even more depressed than Aliti were the censors who impeached the son-in-law Wang Jinghui. This imperial edict reflected that something unpleasant had to have happened between the emperor and the son-in-law. However, the bullet stamp he handed over was like a mud cow entering the sea without any response. Moreover, the emperor had abnormal behavior these days, and the number of times he summoned the son-in-law increased instead. On the second day after the imperial edict came out, Emperor Zhao Xu summoned the son-in-law four times to ask questions. The Empress Dowager came to urge the emperor to have a meal twice, and it was not until late at night that the son-in-law was released from the palace. This was the phenomenon of the son-in-law being demoted, and he wanted to be promoted to the position of the son-in-law again!

Emperor Zhao Xu not only frequently summoned the prince-consort in the past few days, but also helped Wang Anshi and Sima Guang to free them from the entanglement of visitors. When summoning the prince-consort to ask the right questions, most of the two people accompanied him at the same time. Although Emperor Zhao Xu knew in his heart that Wang Jinghui had just been to Jiangnan for a few days, as long as he needed it, he could recall his sister at any time by following the name of the Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor missing the eldest princess of Shu Kingdom. The prince-consort would definitely not be able to stay in Jiangnan and run back obediently, but as if he would never meet again, he asked the prince-consort in detail about the future development of the Song Dynasty, which made Wang Jinghui very angry, making him doubt whether it was wise to leave Biandu to take a break.

However, even if Wang Jinghui wanted to repent at this time, it was too late. Emperor Zhao Xu, Sima Guang and Wang Anshi had many questions, and the scope was also wide. He almost tried his best to answer, so he barely guaranteed his record of answering state affairs. However, when he returned to the Prince Consort's Mansion, he was already dry and his head was as messy as if he was muddy.
