    After a negotiation, the two countries finally reached an agreement.  From then on, Song and Liao were countries of brothers. The Song called the Shangguo its brother, and the Liao called the vassal country its younger brother.  Song and Liao used the Tarim River as their boundary, and both sides withdrew their troops.  At the same time, full power was given to the Song State to negotiate with the Tubo troops stationed in Liao.  Xiliao's decision seems to be a sign of letting go of the boss: Anyway, we have ceded the territory, and the rest will be left to you to divide the spoils.  The signing of this agreement stipulates that in the future, any thieves and fugitives who cross the border will not be allowed to stay in each other.  In the cities along the border between the two countries, everything is as usual, and no city gods are allowed to be built.  The Liao State provided the Song Dynasty with 100,000 guan of silver and 200,000 cattle and sheep every year to "support the military expedition", which were delivered to Kunlun Pass.  The two sides set up sales offices at each other's borders to carry out mutual trade.  As for the huge compensation that the Liao Kingdom needed to compensate the Song Dynasty for the unprovoked war, it was not included in this agreement because the two parties had reached a tacit understanding and consensus in advance.  The final formulation of this agreement was jointly drawn up by the cabinet ministers of the DPRK and China headed by Jiang Fei.  In fact, the significance of this agreement goes beyond that, because this collegial agreement can be said to be similar to the agreement signed by the Chanyuan Alliance.  If there is any difference, it is that their positions have been swapped.  In the first year of Jingde reign of Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao and Shengzong of Liao personally led the army southward. Most of the ministers advocated fleeing south to avoid the enemy. Zhenzong of Song also wanted to flee south. Because of the urging of Prime Minister Kou Zhun, he went to Chanzhou to supervise the war.  However, when the war situation was favorable, because the ministers in the court and Song Zhenzong were afraid of the Liao army, they finally concluded an unequal peace treaty with the Liao Dynasty.  Because Chanzhou was also called Chanyuan County in the Song Dynasty, it was called the "Chanyuan League" in history.  Regarding the influence of the Chanyuan Alliance, later historians have different opinions.  Some people say that this contract may seem humiliating, but it maintained the long-term peace between Song and Liao. It was a great blessing to the people.  Some people say that this contract completely wiped out the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, leaving the entire northern part of the Northern Song Dynasty undefendable, which laid the foundation for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.  But regardless of the impact of historical theory, the Song Dynasty's formulation of this far-reaching contract is actually a response to the humiliation of the Song Dynasty.  In the political hall, Jiang Fu and the ministers of the DPRK and China were discussing the follow-up matters of the contract.  After discussing the follow-up matters of Song and Liao, Jiang Fu then asked everyone present: "Regarding the division of Tubo's territory, do your colleagues have any suggestions?" The matter of Song and Liao was over, so the next step was to distribute benefits with Tubo.  "Today's Tubo has long been torn apart, and the royal tribe headed by Chi Qiong is just a branch. Therefore, in my humble opinion, I can divide the tribes according to the circumstances!" "What Lord Wang said is true, and I also think so, I'm afraid  The Song Dynasty is so powerful that it conquered the Jinxia in the north and conquered the barbarians in the south. Now it has even forced the Liao State to surrender. What should the other Tibetan branches be afraid of? " "" "You all think this way?"  Jiang Fu didn't say anything, but looked at everyone and asked softly.  With this question, 90% of the officials nodded in agreement.  Jiang Fu sat calmly on the chair. After a moment of silence, he turned his attention to Pan, the Minister of Rites, and said, "Pan Shangshu is well versed in diplomatic matters. I don't know what he has to say?" "Mr. Jiang is joking, how can a lower official have any?  What a noble idea." Pan Zhisuo stood up quickly and bowed.  "Hey, Pan Shangshu doesn't need to be humble. The discussion between our court and Liao State this time shows what Pan Shangshu can do." Jiang Fu responded with a smile and waved his hand, "If you have something to say, it's okay to say it. Since this is the political hall,  You can say whatever you want." Pan Zhi bowed and replied seriously: "I don't think you should be careless about this matter." "Oh? Go ahead!" "Not to mention that your Majesty had promised Prince Chi Qiong.  Now that the internal conditions of our country, the Song Dynasty, no longer allow us to isolate our friends and neighbors, our country, the Song Dynasty, has now established its prestige, so the only thing left is to give it favors" After hearing Pan Zhisuo's words, Jiang Fei said.  He gently stroked his beard and nodded to himself, "Yes, my court has been fighting for years, and now the warehouses and treasury are insufficient. This is indeed a fact that cannot be ignored." Pan Zhisuo did not continue, but slowly sat back, and then gave  Wu Qingzhong on the right gave a wink.  Wu Qingzhong nodded tacitly, and then took over the topic: "What Mr. Pan said is true. Don't be arrogant in victory and don't be discouraged in defeat. Don't lose integrity in times of crisis. Don't forget to be cautious when you are powerful!" "Uh" In just a few words,  He choked so much that everyone present looked stagnant and felt embarrassed.?Don¡¯t know what to say.  Wu Qingzhong¡¯s meaning is actually straightforward. When the country was in crisis, everyone lost their integrity. Now that the imperial court is powerful, everyone has become complacent!  Such a painless slap in the face would have made them attack in groups in the past, but now the government and the public are no longer their world, so they are somewhat silent in terms of momentum.  "Concerning the shortage of the imperial treasury, I have a suggestion. I wonder if Mr. Jiang is willing to listen to it?" Wu Qingzhong successfully changed the topic after taking up the topic.  "Haha, as long as I don't adopt any policy that is beneficial to the imperial court, why don't I not adopt it? Mr. Wu, you might as well listen to it!" Wu Qingzhong bowed and left the table, and then handed over a letter.  Jiang Fu slowly opened it, and suddenly his slightly narrowed eyes suddenly stared, and then he looked directly at Wu Qingzhong with a surprised look: "Master Wu, this is your plan!?" "Exactly, what's wrong with it?"  Wu Qingzhong met Jiang Fu's sharp eyes and did not give in at all.  "Do you know what the consequences will be if you act like this?" Jiang Fu said and stood up angrily, arranging the papers heavily on the table, "It's really ridiculous, Wu Qingzhong, you are trying to undermine the foundation of the Song Dynasty!" Wu Qingzhong calmly said  Yes, respond seriously: "Whether it is fallacy or not, Mr. Jiang has been in the officialdom for a long time and should see it more clearly than Xiaguan. These three proposals of Xiaguan are gradual and have no intention of greedy for success. How can they shake the foundation of the imperial court?"  ?¡± ¡°Huh! You are ignorant and don¡¯t know what to do!¡± Jiang Fu didn¡¯t explain much, and Wu Qingzhong didn¡¯t explain anything in public, so everyone present was confused.  No one knew what Wu Qingzhong wrote in his notes, which made the chief minister of the dynasty furious.  Since they didn¡¯t know the whole story and it was difficult for everyone to speak, everyone in the political hall was selectively silent for a while.  At this moment, an announcement came from outside the hall: "My lords, Mr. Liu is here to deliver the order." "Please stay with Mr. Liu!" Jiang Fu hurriedly ordered, and then faced the ministers, "Dear colleagues,  Follow me to receive the order first!" While speaking, a middle-aged eunuch walked in slowly. It was Liu Wuyue, the Superintendent of Ceremonies. Due to Liu Wuyue's status among the eunuchs, he was respectfully called Liu Si Gong by most people.  Even though Liu Wuyue had the merit of following the dragon and was the admiral in charge of all affairs in the imperial city, Liu Wuyue was not so arrogant that he went straight to the political affairs hall.  Because this is the rule set for the harem and eunuchs since the founding of the Song Dynasty.  Precisely because of this, throughout the three hundred years of the Song Dynasty, there were very few cases of eunuchs causing harm to the country and the people.  Liu Wuyue came to the hall, leaned slightly and said softly: "Sorry for disturbing everyone's discussion." "The words of the company are serious, I wonder what your Majesty's decree is?" Jiang Fu came closer in a few steps, raised his hands and went straight to the topic.  "There is indeed an edict, please accept it." As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the political hall except Jiang Fu knelt down.  Liu Wuyue respectfully asked for the imperial edict from the jade plate held by the eunuch beside him, and then began to recite: "How can the great national power of the Celestial Dynasty be found in a city of hundreds of miles and a country of thousands of miles? Therefore, I have decided that the territory of the thirty-six cities included in Liao will be  It will be presented to the Tubo Red Qiong Departmentthe follow-up matters will be left to the Privy Council!" Hearing this decree, everyone present looked at each other.  They were both shocked by the content of the decree and speechless by His Majesty's words.  Since Ye Yu ascended the throne, as long as the decree is issued personally, the writing has been so straightforward, without any unnecessary embellishments.  This kind of almost vernacular writing once made many ministers privately complain.  Fortunately, Ye Yu's talent is still famous today, otherwise these ministers would question Ye Yu as a country bumpkin.  "My Lord, this is your Majesty's decree" Jiang Fei's question was the common sentiment of many ministers behind him.  "Master Jiang, please be patient." Liu Wuyue pulled Jiang Fu aside and said solemnly in a low voice, "Your Majesty still has an oral message for me to convey to the Prime Minister!" "Oh? Sir, please tell me!" "Two.  There is an oral saying, firstly, if a person has no long-term worries, he will have immediate worries; secondly, everything in the court will trouble the prime minister and the governor. " "If a person has no long-term worries, there will be immediate worries" Jiang Fu seemed to be thinking about this sentence secretly.  Something came to mind.  But just when Jiang Fu captured something, Liu Wuyue's second sentence completely shocked him. Jiang Fu grabbed Liu Wuyue tightly, lowered his voice and asked in surprise: "Company, your Majesty, is he" "  Your Majesty, yesterday night,He left the palace and went south.  "    "What!  Your Majesty" Jiang Fu's suspicions were confirmed, and he was even more shocked and asked hurriedly: "It is said that a country cannot be left alone for a day. Your Majesty is a man of thousands of talents, how can you act like this?  ?  Company, why don't you stop it?  " Liu Wuyue shook his head and said helplessly: "Your Majesty has always acted like this. It's not like you don't know this, Mr. Xiangguo.  " "" When Jiang Fu heard this, he felt bad, because this was not the first time. Every time Ye Yu stepped aside as the shopkeeper, he had a bad feeling, but this time he really didn't  Knowing what tricks this master is going to play again, "This matter is not a trivial matter. The top priority is your Majesty's safety" After hearing this, Liu Wuyue waved his hand: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, your Majesty is on patrol incognito. If it is clear,  Not only does it go against the Sacred Heart to send people to protect you, doesn't it only increase the danger?  " "But" "Master Xiangguo, this is His Majesty's wish. You only need to do what you have to do. As for the rest, Xiangguo, you don't need to worry about it.  "Liu Wuyue said deeply, "That's it, I won't bother you anymore!  " "Company, walk slowly.  " After Liu Wuyue led the servants to leave, all the ministers from the Political Affairs Hall rushed over. "Mr. Jiang, you said that His Majesty's decree is too arbitrary!  " "Yes, it's fine that Your Majesty has been acting arbitrarily. After all, it's mostly a reasonable policy. However, I really don't understand this decree now!  " "Mr. Jiang, you have to make up your mind. Do you really want to" "Okay!  "Jiang Fu turned around and looked around at everyone. Hengmei snorted coldly, "Since His Majesty has made a decision, then just follow the order. Why are there so many complaints?  "    "yes!  " The subsequent discussions continued until evening. When everyone left the political hall, Jiang Fu stood up silently, stared at the darkening sky, and said to himself with a complicated expression: "Could it be that this wind is blowing again?  Up?  ¡± (To be continued.)
