The peace treaty has been concluded. The side of Tianshu City has signed and handed over the copy to the two Jin envoys. Next, the Jin envoy will return to his country and submit the copy of the treaty to the king. The imperial official will then send someone to seal it. Only when a fully signed peace treaty signed by the monarchs of the two countries (regions) is delivered to Tianshu City can the peace process be completed.
According to normal etiquette procedures, Tianshu City should also send envoys to the Kingdom of Jin along with the Jin envoys to meet the gold owner as a gift. At that time, they can also bring back the signed peace treaty.
Di Lie was thinking about who to send as an envoy, and Ma Kuo volunteered, saying that he had been on several envoys to the Kingdom of Jin during the Xuanhe period and was qualified for the task.
Ma Kuo is qualified for the position. He has sent gold to Jin many times in his early years and has rich diplomatic experience It can be said that there is indeed no more suitable candidate than him in Tianshu City.
Ling Yuan also gave some advice: "Zichong has just taken office. If he goes out as an envoy, this Zhending Mansion"
Ma Kuanguan said: "There are many people in Tianshu City who can manage Zhending Mansion, and the most suitable person to use gold is Kuan Er."
Di Lie immediately made the decision: "Okay! It's you."
Ma Kuang closed his sleeves and bowed: "I would like to ask the prince to tell me how to deal with the Jin Kingdom on this mission."
Di Lie and Ling Yuan looked at each other and nodded tacitly. Ma Kuo was expressing his attitude and position - only such an expression can make him a truly qualified envoy to represent Tianshu.
At the end of August, Xiao Zhonggong and Ma Kuo went north to return the money with a letter of agreement, while Wuling Simou requested to go to Chang'an to see the Queen.
Di Lie had some idea of ??what this guy was planning. In terms of diplomatic etiquette, Wu Lingsi's move was completely in line with etiquette. In this case, let him try it out, or he could use this person's help. Look how many people are still sitting on the fence towards Qin, Mu and Chu
It¡¯s September again, the autumn season for horse fattening. According to previous years, it¡¯s the golden season for Jinlu to go south to herd horses. However, starting from this year, things have turned around. Don¡¯t think about going south to herd horses. It¡¯s time to think about how to prevent the southerners from going north to trample them. The grassland is real
From now on, everyone in the Central Plains south of the Great Wall can sleep peacefully; but the people north of the Great Wall begin to have trouble sleeping.
Having stabilized the situation in the north, the next step is to start things in the south.
In mid-September, Di Lie returned to Chang'an to arrange the next step
After throwing Wu Ling Simou into the post house, Di Lie didn't need to worry about the following matters. A Shu's First Intelligence Department took over to handle it. It is estimated that the number of times Wu Ling Simou drowned every day would be reported and submitted to A Shu's desk
The peace agreement has been signed, but from a procedural point of view, it should be submitted to Empress Zhu for review - not to mention whether Empress Zhu has the right to intervene. This is the minimum respect for Di Lie to get to this point. Empress Zhu has contributed a lot. She worked hard and did her job impeccably, so Di Lie also gave her enough respect. As soon as possible, he personally signed the contract and entered the Manlu Hall of Taiji Palace, which is the palace of Queen Zhu, to meet the king.
Ganlu Hall was originally one of the residences of the emperors and empresses of the Tang Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, the status of Chang'an declined, and the palace was basically not used. Many palaces were dilapidated and could not be repaired. It was not until Di Lie captured Chang'an that the situation changed. It turned out that the Ganlu Hall was relatively well preserved, so it was considered the palace of Queen Zhu.
Autumn has entered, and the weather is still cool. Queen Zhu is wearing a high bun, a tunic, and a simple ironed floor-length skirt. The plain-colored double-breasted skirt outlines her plump yet light body. She is like that Sitting quietly on the futon deep in the palace, the sunset halo shines through the window panes and reflects on her back, coating her with a layer of golden trim, giving her a unique and moving charm.
Four palace maids stood behind them, with incense rising from the cauldron.
Di Lie strode in, listened to the echo of the empty footsteps, and looked at the honorable and lonely figure. Somehow, there was an indescribable emotion in his heart, which hit his heart gently
Walking five steps away from Queen Zhu, Di Lie took a deep breath, gathered his mood, bowed straightly, sat down on the futon next to her, then took off the gun case, placed it beside him, raised his hand and made peace with the country. The book tells the palace maid to put it on a red lacquered wooden plate and send it to Queen Zhu. Please read it.
Most of the treaties had nothing to do with Empress Zhu, and she didn't understand. Only the exchange between a higher-level person caught her attention, and her voice trembled slightly: "Is the Jin man willing to return the two saints?"
Di Lie only replied with something that seemed to be irrelevant: "There is no such thing as a free lunch."
This was the first time that Empress Zhu heard such an analogy. The simple language was easy to understand. Therefore, Empress Zhu understood. Her face turned pale, she raised her head and looked out the window, and murmured: "Autumn has begun, and winter will soon come." , I heard that it is extremely cold in the North. Breathing into the air turns into frost, dripping water turns into ice, and it is normal for hands and feet to freeze God bless you.?, their father and son can survive the severe winter safely.¡±
Di Lie was silent for a while, then said in a deep voice: "You don't blame me?"
Empress Zhu shook her head slightly and said softly: "You can save so many sisters and let them escape from the sea of ??suffering. I can only be grateful" The voice stopped suddenly, and her plump breasts could not help but rise and fall. In the palace, the atmosphere seemed to become subtle. The four palace maids had already retreated behind the screen twenty steps away. Only Di Lie and Queen Zhu remained in the empty palace.
Perhaps feeling something strange, Empress Zhu hurriedly clapped her hands and said: "Sisters, please come in and thank the king in person."
The palace maids followed the order and left. After a while, a group of women appeared at the entrance of the palace. They filed in and bowed to the ground. They said in unison: "My wife in distress thanked the king for saving me. It is a great kindness that I will never forget. I will win this title in this life." Huan, cattle and horses will definitely repay the favor of the king in the next life."
Di Lie looked over one by one: Emperor Rongde, Zhao Jinnu, Emperor Xiande, Zhao Qiaoyun, Emperor Fu, Zhao Fobao, Emperor Fu, Zhao Jinzhu, Emperor Cheng, Zhao Huer, Emperor Fu, Zhao Jinyin, Emperor Fu, Zhao Saiyue, the youngest Chun Behind the emperors, Fu Diji, Zhao Jinling, and other concubines were a group of released concubines. It was estimated that there were about twenty people in total. These emperor concubines and former concubines could be said to be representatives of the thousands of Song women who escaped the catastrophe.
All emperors and concubines are dressed in dresses, sincerely, and the most important gift from Die Lie: Three worship and nine
The jade forehead is smooth and soft, the floor tiles are smooth, hard and cool. Every time you kowtow, there must be a heavy sound.
Di Lie didn't stop him, he just lowered his eyebrows and looked away from the red forehead.
After prostrating, all the emperor¡¯s concubines stood up silently and quietly walked out of the palace one by one. They didn¡¯t need to say too much about the so-called great kindness, they could just repay it with their thoughts and actions.
"Your sister, I believe you will take good care of me." Di Lie stood up slowly, bowed his head and saluted, "If there is nothing else"
"Actually, I have something to ask for."
Di Lie slowly raised his head and looked inquiringly.
Queen Zhu considered her tone and said softly: "I miss Jiulang"
Di Lie was slightly surprised: "Hasn't the Queen seen him yet?"
Queen Zhu smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly: "I heard that he was imprisoned in the secret prison of the Secrecy Bureau That Ah Shu, he will not let anyone get close without your order."
Di Lie nodded: "Okay, you really should take a look at him, otherwise, I'm afraid you won't have a chance in the future."
Queen Zhu was frightened and said in a voiceless voice: "Is it possible that you want to"
Di Lie shook his head and looked directly at Empress Zhu: "Unless you insist on taking his life - in public and private matters, only you have this right."
Queen Zhu looked sad and slowly closed her eyes. A teardrop came out of the corner of her eye and slipped down her cheek. When she opened her eyes again, Di Lie's figure had disappeared in front of her eyes.
When Di Lie stepped out of the Ganlu Hall, the sky was already filled with sunset. Just a few steps out of the hall, his ears suddenly moved slightly, as if he felt something. He paused, instinctively pressed the gun case, and continued moving forward calmly. As he stepped down the white marble steps and turned the corner of a long corridor, a slender figure followed him hurriedly.
The slender figure ran quickly through the corridor. When he reached the corner, he quietly looked around - and was surprised to find that the target was gone.
The slender figure stood blankly for a while, sighed, turned around in disappointment, and suddenly covered her mouth and stared, looking like she had seen a ghost - the person she was following was pointing a strange weapon at her.
Di Lie's finger slowly left the trigger, and the muzzle of the gun lowered. In front of him was a very delicate girl of thirteen or fourteen years old. The reason why Di Lie lowered the muzzle of the gun was not because the other party was a girl, or because she had a beautiful face, nor because she was beautiful. We know each other, but because of the red mark on this girl's forehead - this is the mark of having just kowtowed.
"You are the third empress in the back row who just bowed in the hall. Why are you following me?" After confirming that it was a false alarm, Di Lie put the gun back on his shoulder.
Scan dozens of people at a glance, quickly memorize the characteristics of each person, and then change the environment to find a target that you have seen before among a group of people. This is an essential quality for a sniper. With the obvious forehead of the girl, The red seal instructs Di Lie to think for a moment and then he remembers this woman.
The girl was overjoyed: "It turns out you have noticed me a long time ago"
Di Lie interrupted: "I noticed that everyone said, why are you following behind? Do you know that doing so is very dangerous! Just now, your life passed by impermanence."
The girl smiled sweetly: "Jin Ling said that the 'evil spirit' that even the Jin people are scared to death must be ugly, fierce and scary Well, she just said to me that the Jin people lied to her, you should It's just a 'fairy spirit'"
Di Lie smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Thank you for not calling me a 'heroic spirit'"
The girl covered her mouth and giggled happily, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and she never thought that the great hero in her mind was actuallygenerally amusing
After having fun for a while, the girl finally got to the point: "I am Zhao Saiyue. I want to become a glorious female soldier like Concubine Shen, Princess Ruyang (Yuqiang), Sister Dieer, and Sister Yunu" I want to join the Tianjiao Camp!"
Well, it seems that Zhao Saiyue really learned a lot during the time she returned to Chang'an, and a girl's heart longs for her idol the most - the proud female soldier, who has deservedly become the idol of all women who have escaped from the disaster. Idol
Di Lie stared at Zhao Saiyue coldly until the girl's smile faded and she shrank back, then he stretched out two fingers and said: "I'll give you two pieces of advice. One is that Concubine Shen died and the Jade slave was disabled. A body full of pain Do you want to be like them? Although the Second Tianjiao Battalion is still there, it will never participate in combat again - from this point of view, the former Tianjiao Battalion no longer exists."
"Live a good life, this is the last thing your wife wants to see"
The figure that made the golden man tremble has gone far away, and only the last words echo in the heart of the young girl Di Ji
¡¡
This is an ordinary courtyard. In Yonghefang in the west corner of Chang'an, such courtyards are very common. There is nothing eye-catching about it. At dusk, a group of people came first, looking very capable. They set up sentries everywhere. , don¡¯t get close to other people waiting for you
?Subsequently, two vans appeared outside the gate one after another. The gate was then opened and the vans drove in and the two gates were closed heavily.
In the yard, an entourage held a bamboo hook to open the curtain of the first carriage, and Empress Zhu, dressed in a burqa, bowed out; the person who appeared in the second carriage turned out to be Di Lie
After getting out of the car, Queen Zhu looked at Di Lie with a questioning look. Di Lie raised his hand and pointed to the west wing. Queen Zhu nodded gratefully and turned around silently.
The door of the room was opened, and a young man inside the room was looking out the window at the fallen wood in the backyard. Hearing the sound, he looked back in surprise and his eyes touched, and his whole body trembled, as if he had been struck by thunder.
"It's really you, Kuro"
"The emperor's sister-in-lawthe Holy Queen, the lord of Tianshu City, the rumors are actually true"
"A woman with the most noble status in today's world; a man who claims to be a loner and rises to a great position - in this small house, she is just a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law.
Ever since Empress Zhu became empress, she had never seen her brother-in-law again. Taking a closer look, the handsome young man who had been there for five or six years now has a haggard face and a sad face, looking as if he was thirty years old. What is he worried about? Is it the current predicament or the sins committed in the past?
"Emperor's sister-in-law, can you order the Tianzhu Army Lord to let me go?" After the initial shock, Zhao Gou seemed to have grasped a straw to save his life. He bowed deeply to Empress Zhu and said eagerly.
Before meeting Zhao Gou, Empress Zhu felt more pity than resentment for this hard-working brother-in-law. But after meeting Zhao Gou, for some reason, she felt a sense of disgust in her heart, and half of what she wanted to say before could not be said. He didn't have any interest in saying anything anymore. He just said calmly: "He is the one who captured you. If you want to let him go, you can only listen to his wishes."
"But, you are the Holy Queen, the most honorable person in the world, how can you be controlled by a military commander"
"I am the Holy Queen, but I can't protect my sister, so what about the Holy Queen?" Empress Zhu stared at Zhao Gou with a burning gaze.
Zhao Gou's face turned pale for a moment, and he forced a smile and said: "It's all Du Chong who deceived the saints and dispatched troops without authorization The Tianzhu army killed well. If this thief doesn't die, I won't be able to spare him when he returns to the court." ¡¡±
Queen Zhu bit her lip, her eyes getting colder. Zhao Gou touched the cold light that chilled his heart, and couldn't say any more.
Empress Zhu didn¡¯t say anything, she just put the secret decree on the table, turned around silently, and left, letting Zhao Gou call her again and again, and never looked back.
In the yard, Di Lie personally opened the curtain and let Empress Zhu enter the carriage. He said calmly: "Have you finished talking so quickly? It seems that the reunion between uncle and sister-in-law after a long absence is not as joyful as imagined."
Empress Zhu said numbly: "He has no regrets for his evil deeds that day He was not like this before. At that time, he was a humble gentleman Could it be that when a person ascends to the throne of God, he will become like this? Parinirvana?"
Di Lie was silent for a while and said in a deep voice: "The most fickle thing in the world is the human heart, especially those in high positions. His position forces him to change, and he cannot survive without changing."
Queen Zhu shed two lines of clear tears and fell into the dust, choked with sobs and lost her voice: "Poor Wanting"
Di Lie lowered the car curtain to cut off Queen Zhu¡¯s crying
In the room, Zhao Gou held the secret decree that revealed his crimes with a blank expression on his face, and remained silent. Suddenly he saw a figure flashing at the door, and he raised his head in surprise: "Sister-in-law of the emperor - it's you!"
Di Lie said lightly: "What? Not welcome? I have good news."
Zhao Gou¡¯s heart skipped a beat, as if he realized something, and his heart beat like twelveSui was so nervous when he lost his virginity. He swallowed hard and his voice trembled slightly: "Youthe military master's intention"
"You can go back to Lin'an"
"What? Is this true? Are youthe military leader willing to let me go?" Happiness came so suddenly, Zhao Gou felt dizzy and could hardly believe it.
Di Lie shook the imperial edict signed by Zhao Gou and sealed in his hand: "Remember your promise and the oath made at the Imperial Palace Ancestral Temple in Tokyo - otherwise, if I can catch you once, I can catch you a second time! "
"Don't dare, don't dare!" Zhao Gou was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He completely lost the so-called emperor's etiquette.
"I want to introduce someone to you, and he will accompany you back to Lin'an." Di Lie clapped his hands.
???????????????????????????????????????????Outside the house, a man came in and bowed to the ground: "The guilty minister Qin Hui, please see my lord."
The most famous pair of wolves and wolves in history finally reunited Zhao Jiu and Qin Hui, plus Zhao Qi Now, the Southern Song Dynasty was very lively.
Zhao Gou, if you want to live in peace so much, that¡¯s fine, then just squat in the south and linger.
Qin Hui, it¡¯s good that you like to betray your country so much. Then work harder and sell your country to me! (To be continued
