Faced with naked threats and Yelu Zongzhen's more determined threat, Fu Bi became calm, took back the face of the elder who had been tempted and tempted before, and said slowly: Shi Jingtang used Lu Long to bribe the Khitan, and Zhou Shizong Chai Rong to attack Guannan, all of which were the things of the former different dynasties. Zhao Song had been reviving the Han territory for more than 80 years. If we each asked for the old land of another era, it might not be a good thing for the Liao Kingdom, right?

Yelu Zongzhen was immediately silent. Fu Bi was threatening him in turn! If you decide to ask for the 10 counties south of Waqiao Pass, we still want the 16 states of Yanyun! Before the rise of the Khitan, it was our land for thousands of years!

It was silent and the situation was cold? It seemed that Fu Bi was looking for death and forgot his mission when he came. The Song Dynasty repeatedly told him that he could only fight with those who were not allowed to fight. But the inside story was subtle! Just now Yelu Zongzhen knew that starting a war was not good for the throne, but he insisted on asking for land, but he knew that the war would not break out. But now Fu Bi clearly said that he would not miss him. If you want to fight, you should fight, don't get it without effort!

After a long silence, Yelu Zongzhen took the lead in breaking the stalemate. He changed the topic, "Li Yuanhao is my vassal minister. The Song Dynasty attacked him, why didn't you ask me for instructions first?"

Fu Bi didn't say good things to him anymore, "You Khitans attacked Goryeo and Hei Shui, have you notified us of the Song Dynasty?" He said proudly, but immediately following the negotiation mission, he reminded him again what he wanted to do. Fu Bi adjusted his mentality and calmed down again. He said, "When I came, our emperor specially asked me to greet you and convey his words. Your Majesty said that he didn't know in advance that Li Yuanhao and his younger brother were married, and he provoked a war, so we want to attack. Now you blame me, brother, this makes me embarrassed! Striving him will hurt our brother's friendship. If you don't attack, my people will die innocently. Now I want to ask: Brother, what do you think you can handle it?"

Yelu Zongzhen listened very seriously. After he ignored his image and threw the envoys of the opposite countries aside in formal diplomatic relations, and went to chat with his ministers. After a long time of chatting, he turned back and said something profound, "Yuan Hao was a foe, how could he not attack the Southern Dynasties?"

Li Yuanhao became a thief, how could he let the Song Dynasty not beat him? At first glance, he was very conscientious, and the Khitans finally said a fair word. But after thinking about it a little, you will know that Fu Bi was so angry that he gritted his teeth. The slippery Khitans pretended to be stupid and evaded us!

Zhao Zhen asked Fu Bi to not write this sentence in the letter of the country, and asked Fu Bi to directly tell Yelu Zongzhen that there is a very obvious meaning. You said that Li Yuanhao is your relative and retainer, and I blame me for being aware of him. Very good! Now I give you face, agree with your relationship, and ask for your opinions. The surface meaning is that if you agree, I will hit him. But there is also a subtext in it: Brother Yelu, that is your subordinate, can you control it?

The Song Dynasty's original intention was to let the Khitans go to the center to mediate! Yelu Zongzhen definitely understood this point, and the ministers of the Liao Kingdom even more clearly. After talking for so long, they finally came up with this super connotational reply, "Yuan Hao was a foe, how could the Southern Dynasties not be attacked?" It was so artistic that they could not find any mistakes, but they were exactly the same as they did not say it. Xixia was very owed to fight. If you fight, you will fight to the death. No matter what you beat, it is reasonable and legal!

On that day, Fu Bi walked out of the Liao Dynasty's palace and his pace became heavier. The Khitans were more difficult to deal with than they thought. What else can I do next?

While being upset, Liu Liufu came. He just broke up and met again, but the topic turned 180 degrees: Master Fu, Emperor Taizong of Song wiped out the Northern Han Dynasty and suddenly attacked Youzhou. You just said that you would attack Xixia. What will happen to you after Xixia surrenders? Will you go to attack Yanyun 16 states again?

A ray of sunshine suddenly shone into Fu Bi's heart. Did the Khitans take it seriously? What he said just now, "If we each ask for the old place of another generation, it may not be a good thing for the Liao Kingdom." The Liao Kingdom is also afraid of war!

After reaching this conclusion, Fu Bi became calm. Answer: During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the Liao Kingdom first sent envoys to the good, but then sent troops to Shiling Pass to aid the Northern Han Dynasty. It was the war that you were indomitable and our Emperor Taizong was angry. This was all your fault...

The answer is very clever, and he will do what he does. Just like Yelu Zongzhen was just scheming, Fu Bi also did not answer Liu Liufu's question. Will we finish the Western Xia and Youzhou? Think about it yourself!

The clever Liu Liufu immediately changed the topic, "Money is a small thing. If you accept it, our emperor will feel very shameful. If you decide to take back the land in the 10 counties in Guannan, Fu Da, what do you think about this matter?"

This is a very sincere private briefing. Fu Bi decided to also say the bottom line of the Song Dynasty. "Our emperor once said, 'I am a descendant, how dare I use my ancestors to deal with people with my ancestors'. In the battle of Chanyuan, I was not shaken. How could I cede land at will today? Now you must get land in 10 counties, just for those taxes. So the Song Dynasty proposed to replace it with a considerable amount of gold and silk. What is the difference between this and you get 10 counties? Our Majesty is concerned about the people of the two countries and does not want to cause trouble to the creatures, so he is willing to give out money to satisfy you. If you decide to ask for land, it is to betray the alliance, so the Song and Liao will only have one battle. The ancestors of the Chanyuan alliance was met with the gods of heaven and earth! The Northern Dynasties first sent troops, and I am worthy of the gods of heaven and earth.'"

After listening quietly, Liu Liufu seemed to be very satisfied, "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty is so good, these ideas are very good. Let's work together to get this done." After that, he turned around and left. Behind him, Fu Bi's expression became more serious. Things seemed to have a major turn, and they changed in a good direction? But who can guess what the Khitans think...

At this moment, Fu Bi accidentally received a letter. He was thousands of miles away from the country and was in a foreign country. This was actually a letter from the family. What happened to his family? No special matters, he would never send a letter from thousands of miles away...

Doubt and fear, holding such a letter, the more you care about your family, the more you think and the worse you think. But everyone saw that Fu Bi was holding this letter, but he didn't move for a long time, and finally slowly tore it apart...

The subordinate asked why. Fu Bi smiled bitterly, how could he be distracted by mere family affairs when he was in charge of the country? What's more, I'm so far away from home, even if I know, what can I do?

The next day, a new trick came. The people of Liao told them not to go to the main palace. Yelu Zongzhen was going to hunt and invited the Song Dynasty delegation to participate. In this way, Fu Bi, a civil servant of the Song Dynasty, rode on a horse and followed the Khitan cavalry to the wilderness.

Yelu Zongzhen asked Fu Bi to ride with him, which was a great courtesy. Then I asked you what else to say? Let us put ourselves in Fu Bi's shoes. Imagine: The emperor went hunting, thousands of troops, and on the vast northern grassland, the Khitan cavalry that had been strong for a hundred years was boundless. What kind of formation and deterrence is this? It is to overwhelm the envoys of the enemy country and achieve their goals! So Fu Bi said, "The Southern Dynasties only want to be happy for a long time." Yelu Zongzhen proudly reiterated, "If you get the land, you will be happy for a long time." I must get the land!

However, he heard Fu Bi's clear voice again, "For this matter, our Majesty has long taught, 'Does the Liao Kingdom want to get the old land of our ancestors, is the Song Dynasty willing to lose the old land? Liao Kingdom is proud of gaining the land, and the Song Dynasty will be humiliated by losing the land! Can brotherly countries be honored and humiliated? It is completely opposite?'" Speaking of this, Fu Bi's patience should have reached its limit. He was in a foreign country with tens of thousands of cavalry around him. He looked directly at the Emperor of Liao and said the following words in the tone of the Emperor of Song Dynasty. "I have not forgotten Yan Yun, but I still sent envoys to negotiate this matter. We both know what to do."

In historical materials, this hunting dialogue ended here, and Yelu Zongzhen did not go on. Instead, Liu Liufu appeared again, "Mr. Fu, our emperor has already realized the issue of honor and disgrace you just mentioned. But now, money is absolutely not considered, and the only thing that is interested in is marriage."

The Liao Kingdom did not ask for cede land! After the crisis, I believe that the Song Dynasty mission personnel were happy in an instant, but Fu Bi was calmer. "Getting married is not ideal, but there are more troubles. Let's talk about feelings first, there will inevitably be discord between husband and wife, which will affect diplomatic relations. Besides, people's life span is different. Once there is an accident, it will be difficult to say about friendship in the future. The safest way is money."

Liu Liufu shook his head and insisted on getting married. "The emperor of the Southern Dynasty must have a princess."

Fu Bi nodded, "Yes. Unfortunately, it's only 4 years old, and getting married will take at least 10 years later. In this situation, do you think you can wait?" The question is very realistic, but the people of Liao still insisted. Fu Bi smiled and dispelled the other party's fantasy of "The Song Dynasty married a princess and had a dowry of 100,000 yuan." After saying this, Liu Liufu left immediately.

Then, Fu Bi was summoned to the Liao Dynasty Palace again. Yelu Zongzhen shocked him in just one sentence and said, "You can go back."

Ah? Fu Bi is confused. What does this mean? The negotiation is over? But what do you want? "I can't go back now. Get married or increase the coins, I have to take it back with a result." Fu Bi carefully opposed it.

Yelu Zong really answered that completely broke the negotiation rules, "You have to do it again, then I will tell you my choice. Remember: I have to bring two letters of the country again."

Fu Bi's heart sinks little by little. At this time, no decision is made, let you run back with questions, and come back with two different versions of the letter of the country. After a few months, the Song Dynasty had to spend a few months in worry, which was enough to benefit the Liao Kingdom! Moreover, during this period, the Liao Kingdom had other tricks such as adding troops to Yan Yun, contacting Xixia... There is no need to actually fight, these postures alone are enough to scare the vast majority of people!

But Fu Bi had no choice! Whether he wanted to or not, he had to leave obediently and return home with ambiguous intentions - the Khitans voluntarily gave up their territorial requirements, which was a victory in principle! But how did this letter of nationality be written? I don’t know!

On July 1, Zhang Fangping, who was in charge of the Censorate, submitted a memorial: In view of the current emergency, it is recommended to abolish the Privy Council and take over all the power with the Political Affairs Hall of the Secretariat. This is a challenge to the family law of the ancestors of the Song Dynasty - the principle of decentralization! It is absolutely impossible to be accepted! However, the special affairs were handled specially, and the Privy Council continued to retain them, but all the person in charge worked part-time. On the 5th, the Privy Council Deputy Envoy Ren Bu was dismissed. On the 17th, Prime Minister Lu Yijian, Zhang Dexiang and Privy Council were also the Privy Council.

So, Lu Yijian, the Prime Minister and Privy Councilor of the Song Dynasty, personally came forward to convey the emperor's highest instructions to Fu Bi. 1. If you don't pay money when you get married, you don't get married. 2. If you want money, there is a statement about the amount of money. If the Liao Kingdom can restrain Li Yuanhao from surrendering again, add 200,000 to the annual basis of 300,000 yuan. If you can't do it, you will only add 100,000 yuan.

According to such conditions, two copies of the letter of the country must be written in advance, while three copies of the letter of the affidavit are written in Li Yuanhao. It is very meticulous. After the statement was finished, Lu Yijian asked Fu Bi if there was anything else to add?

There are three items: 1. The lakes at the junction of the two countries shall not be expanded. 2. Both countries shall not increase the border troops stationed on the border without reason. 3. The fugitives shall not be taken in. He solemnly emphasized that this was the content that the Emperor of Liao repeatedly requested and must be written into the affidavit.

No problem! Lu Yijian agrees with everything, and it is very rare to delegate power. The letter of state and affidavits are drafted by you Fu Bi himself! How about it? Are you relieved?

Fu Bi was relieved and worked overtime to write the draft and handed it to the Zhengshi Hall. At this time, the office efficiency of the Song Dynasty reached an unprecedented level. The Zhengshi Hall ordered: Fu Bi, you can take a step first, and your draft will be written into an official document immediately, and then quickly catch up with you, so that you will not delay for a second. Our slogan is to race against time! Fu Bi, you can run away now!

On July 22, Fu Bi and Zhang Maoshi rushed out of Kaifeng City again. Perhaps because they rode horses in Liao Kingdom, they ran to Wuqiang County in one breath. Only then did the fast horses in Kaifeng City catch up and handed him a super package. There were 10 sealed documents, including 2 national letters and 3 affidavits, and each document was provided with a copy.

History turned around at this time. It is said that Fu Bi should strictly implement the orders and continue to run wildly after receiving the document so as to race against time. But he slowed down because there was a question mark in his mind - the three things I made with the Khitan Emperor were really written into the official text? If not, the other party would be suspicious, so how could I talk about it?

With this question mark, Fu Bi walked slowly and slowly. When he arrived at Leshou, he finally stopped. He found a quiet place and secretly took out the documents. Of course, it was not the original, but the secondary, so he carefully opened it. Fu Bi's heart was immediately cold. As expected, there were no three on it at all!
