Chapter 1091: What does Yelu Dadun’s punishment have to do with our Song Dynasty (first update)
Chapter 1100

Minister of the Ministry of Rites stepped over the threshold, stepped into the room, and bowed deeply to Su Dongpo who was reviewing official affairs in front of the book case. "The lower official has met Mr. Su..."

"Why does Mr. Wang have time to come to this old man today? Could it be that the negotiations that have been at an impasse these days have changed?"

"Su Xianggong, you are really right. There has indeed been a change. The negotiation conditions of those Liao people have been revised today. The lower officials dare not be exclusive, so they specially brought it and asked Su Xiang to make a decision." Wang Shangshuchao of the Ministry of Rites After bowing to Su Dongpo, he handed over the new negotiating terms handed over by the Liao envoy today.

Compared with the previous ones, the content inside has indeed changed a lot. For example, the previous request that Song Dynasty hand over the murderer who captured the frontier soldiers of the Liao Kingdom, and hand over the culprit to the Liao Kingdom for punishment has been revised.

It has become a requirement that the State of Song punish Wang Yang, the main person responsible for the dispute between the two countries, Wang Yang, the economic strategy appeasement envoy of the North Shaanxi Road, and the Northern Liao Dynasty will also punish Yelu Dadun, the person in charge of the East Road of the Liao State, to show fair.

In addition, the Song army returned to the Song Dynasty and compensated the Liao Kingdom with 20 taels of silver. As for the new weapons of the Song Dynasty, the amount was halved.

Su Dongpo looked at it, and then raised the corners of his lips. "It seems that the Emperor Liao has not lost his mind, and he finally understands that it is impossible to make the current Song Dynasty bow its head and listen to it just by threatening."

"What do you mean, Mr. Su, to agree to them?" Wang Shangshu couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief when he heard this. What the hell, after so many days, can it be said that he can finally see the dawn of the end? ?
"Why should you agree to them?" Su Dongpo raised his head in astonishment and said. "Didn't you see that if the Liao people get these weapons and equipment from our Great Song Dynasty and study them in detail, and imitate them in the future, it will be a time when our Great Song Dynasty suffered heavy losses. Do you think such a condition can be agreed?"

Wang Shangshu made Su Dongpo's old face hot when he asked this rhetorical question, and stroked his delicate long beard in embarrassment. "Su Xianggong, the Liao people have already made concessions. If I, Da Song, refuse them completely, doesn't it seem a bit..."

"Are you trying to say too much?" Su Dongpo shook his head helplessly, bearing the responsibility of the Minister of Rites. "Wang Shangshu, you must be above the court at this moment, otherwise, your words will surely provoke His Majesty into a thunderbolt."

"The reason for this incident, the cause, was caused by the frontier soldiers of the Liao Kingdom burning, killing and looting across the border, and what Wang Wushan did can be said to be the reaction that my Song officials should have. As for his Northern Liao If they lose land and people, they can only blame themselves."

"Perhaps you have your own ideas, Prime Minister Su, but you feel that it is extremely rare to be able to force the Liao Kingdom to retreat. If you really push forward step by step, I am afraid that in the end, it is very likely that the people of Liao will be angered." If you take two shots and scatter them, you won’t lose anything at all.”

When Wang Shangshu walked away with an angry look on his face, Su Dongpo also blushed and sat behind the public case to catch his breath.Neither party could convince the other, and there was a big quarrel. Wang Shangshu walked away angrily, and Su Dongpo was not much better.

If this wasn't his office, he might have left in a huff. He didn't expect that Da Song was originally on the right side now.

But in the end, the Liao Kingdom slightly changed the extremely harsh conditions to be less harsh. As a result, an important minister of the Song Dynasty like Wang Shangshu seemed so overjoyed, as if he had already made contributions to the Song Dynasty.

Su Dongpo was really pissed off, but since the other party had already offered new conditions, he still had to submit these conditions to the emperor for review.

Zhao Xun naturally had the same thinking as Su Dongpo, not to mention, the weapons and equipment developed by Wang Yang can be regarded as the magic weapon for the Song Dynasty to defeat the enemy today, how could it be possible to hand it over, unless it is because of his lack of IQ.

And the news naturally reached the ears of Wang Yang who was far away on Shaanxi North Road. The source of the news was none other than Su Dongpo, an old driver, who reported in detail all the inside information about the peace talks between the envoys of the Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty during this period. Wang Yang made a disclosure.

Of course, Su Dongpo did not forget to reassure Wang Yang. In short, he and the emperor agreed that it was impossible to hand over the advanced weapons and equipment of the Song Dynasty to the Liao Kingdom.

However, after hearing about the new conditions of Beiliao, the ministers and workers in the court expressed that although Wang Yang was not at fault, Wang Yang would have to bear some responsibility after all when things got into such a place. of.

Since he is an eyesore in the border town, your Majesty is requested to transfer him away from the North Shaanxi Road to ease the mood of Bei Liao.Although this opinion was put forward by people from the old party, it was supported by both the old and new parties.

Su Dongpo made it very clear in the letter that the emperor was furious at the court because of this matter, and he lashed out fiercely, and then suppressed the gang of courtiers.

After reading Su Dongpo's letter, Wang Yang was not happy because of the emperor's and Su Dongpo's attention. Instead, he seemed a little gloomy.

"My lord, this is good news from Mr. Su, but why are you still frowning? Is there something wrong here?" Gao Shi who was beside him finished reading the letter, and seeing Wang Yang's expression, he was a little puzzled. asked.

"It seems that Wang's time to stay on the North Shaanxi Road is running out..." Wang Yang sighed and spoke slowly.

Hearing these words, all the civil and military personnel of Shaanxi North Road present could not help but show horror. "My lord, how is this possible?"

"That is, the North Shaanxi Road today is all thanks to your lordship, and Prime Minister Su's letter has made it very clear that both His Majesty and Prime Minister Su are on your side. Don't you think so, my lord?" Is it too worrying?"

Looking at these colleagues in the hall, whose faces were full of concern and anxiety, Wang Yang couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. "Everyone's kindness, Wang appreciates it, but everyone, can't you see it?"

"Although the fault is Yelv Dadun of Northern Liao, since the other party has made such a statement, if he does not want to cause an all-out war between Northern Liao and our Song Dynasty, then at least there are so many conditions put forward by Liao. , In fact, there are several things that I, the Song Dynasty, must do."

"Withdraw from the Liao territory and give up these Liao castles that we invaded. Secondly, the Liao Kingdom has decided to punish Yelu Dadun, the former general manager of the North Liao River East Road, and asked me, the Song Dynasty, to make similar actions as an explanation. .”

"How is it possible, then Yelu Da Dun was punished by Beiliao, what has it to do with my Great Song Dynasty, besides, my lord, you followed the laws of my Great Song Dynasty and did not make any mistakes, why should you be like him?" Zhe Keshi said directly Hairy, stood up and said aggressively.

"I heard that Yelu Da Dun was escorted by Liao envoys to Beiliao to go to Beijing for trial. This incident happened before the Northern envoy decided to have peace talks with us in the Great Song Dynasty. It is enough to prove that the emperor of Beiliao was just making excuses. We How can Da Song be fooled." Zong Ze stroked his long beard and nodded in agreement.
