No shortage of walls

Shi Wenwen said:"Xiao Wu, don't you have two Hu spies? Come back tonight and let me have a good talk with him. I can guarantee that he won't leave a message."

Long Quan said:"Now that Dong Qi is powerful, and It is to force the people of Wu and Yue to fight. It is unwise to start a war with the Hu people at this time. If the Hu people's spies come back at this time, they are afraid that the Hu people will make trouble and start a war. But we cannot start a war with Dong Qi at the same time. What you said is inappropriate."

Old man. Xu Dao:"I haven't received any news about the changes in the Hu territory so far. It's really difficult to analyze their true intentions. I will never believe that the Hu people came in person to complain just to pull the deputy general off his horse." Thousands of years ago In the history of the Song Dynasty, there was no case of envoys from neighboring countries coming to the Holy Hall of the Song Dynasty to sue the officials of the Song Dynasty, but there was really no way to sue them. In the past, there was no business dealings. When the fight starts, just start the fight. When it's good, it's just peaceful. There is no trading between countries. Even the animal skins were sold by the Hu people themselves. While the people of Song Dynasty were trying to keep out the cold in winter, the emperor pretended that he could not see them. After all, his people would freeze to death without animal skins. It can be said that the two countries were like two people with hatred. When they are not fighting, they do not talk to each other.

Now that the prince is the emperor, there are business transactions. But there is really no need to go to the palace to complain. If the diplomatic relations were normal, would the Song State have killed one second-grade general, or would the nine tribes of the second-grade generals have been killed? What would it have to do with the Hu people?

Long Quan said:"That's why I don't understand. The Hu people don't know that I am the deputy general of His Highness Prince Jing. The emperor will not kill me for smuggling. The Hu people came to complain in person and pulled me down to return to the fifth rank. , What good does it do to him?"

Wu Ren said:"No good. You are just a second-grade general. Whether you live or die in the two countries, it doesn't matter at all. The barbarians are here to test your smuggling. It's your own fault. It's still arranged. The previous arrangement was a bit inappropriate, so it should be better if you are involved in corruption and bribery."

After thinking about it, everyone felt that it made sense.

Long Quan said:"Is it too late to arrange charges now?"

Lao Xu said:"It's too late. The plan now is to inquire about the movements of the Hu people. Xiao Wu, in the evening, you go to see Liu Gongquan."

Wu Ren said. :"Song and Hu have different faces, and General Liu doesn't have any detailed information. I have a Hu among the Hu people, so I'll just ask. It's just that he is still a commoner, and he doesn't know much about it."

Song Yu said:" It's the fur merchant you didn't let me kill? What's the use?"

Wu Ren said:"It's useless now. I don't know if it will be useful in the future. Just treat it as a friend. Friends are for betrayal anyway."

Lao Xu said:"Lieutenant General Long, you will report to Commander Liu Jingyun's tent tomorrow. Whatever the Hu people want to do, we will follow up. But whatever the Hu people want to do, the Hu people should also know that King Jing's army is not that easy to bully."

Long Quan said:"Okay. I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

It's really hard to guess what the Hu people are going to do. It's just that Long Quan doesn't have enough control. He just needs to write a letter of credence to complain. There's really no need to send an envoy in person. Complain.

Everyone was angry with the Hu people, which was still caused by the strong attack launched by the prince when he came to the throne. Half of it was also caused by the hatred between Song and Hu for thousands of years. Everyone doesn't believe the Hu people, but they still have a headache because they haven't figured out the Hu people's intentions.

Song Yu's cold eyes turned into ice. He knew that the prince had great ambitions and that the prince was a man from heaven. He would have to think of a way to lead troops when he invaded the Hu Territory one day. If he were to rush into the royal court, he would definitely leave no one behind.

Song Xing had just finished breakfast. Liu Chengwen, the Minister of Rites, came to ask for the order.

Song Xing announced that he would be waiting to see him in the imperial study, and asked Lu Zhi to find Liu Gongquan.

For Liu Chengwen, Song Xing is very simple. You can gradually add more goods, and take your time while hanging the barbarian. As for the price, the goods in the workshop are at a dead price, so there is no negotiation.

Liu Chengwen got the holy will and went out. To be honest, this old guy is really good at doing things, he is quick-witted and good at dancing, but embezzling public funds gave Song Xing a headache. If he hadn't been so experienced in doing things, he would have died long ago. But he has no ability to stand upright, and now he can't find someone to replace him, which is a real headache.

The troublesome thing is that if we don't deal with him, the courtiers will know about it and follow his example, which will be very troublesome. The emperor also had many things that were subject to restraint. It was rare for him to be called the son of the gods, so this kind of restraint was not related to him for the time being. If it does happen, it will be even more of a headache.

After a while, Liu Gongquan came.

The current situation seems to be pretty good for the Song State. Let’s talk about the Xia State first. The Xia State has finally been divided into Southern Xia and Northern Xia. For a moment, there was no threat to the Song State, but for the Xia State, the Ministry of National Security lost seventeen good soldiers.

It turned out that Li Yuejie poisoned Emperor Xia to death, and the two princes of Xia Kingdom were suspicious of each other and fought each other with swords, but Liu Gongquan tried his best and never thought of the seventh prince's Nanxia. Because the Seventh Prince made a lot of money by doing business with the Song Dynasty, not only selling in his own country but also in the West, he was supported by many civil and military people in the DPRK. It happened that that day Li Yuejie poisoned Emperor Xia, and many people met Li Yueming at night. Knowing that he was just a little bird, there was no way he could poison the emperor and fly back.

Li Yueming volunteered to die to prove his innocence. People don't drug themselves to death - of course, it's his brother, but not him.

It's really not him.

As soon as the story happened, everyone unanimously suspected that the third prince had committed regicide and had wrongfully accused the seventh prince. On the contrary, there were many civil servants and military generals who believed in the Seventh Prince, and they counterattacked in one fell swoop, almost unifying the Xia Kingdom. Liu Gongquan had no choice but to send people continuously to reveal top secret information about Nan Xia to the Third Prince through various channels, and even helped murder a General of the Seventh Prince. Only then did the third prince have to counterattack. Now the Xia Kingdom is divided into two, with balanced power and hatred. In the short term, it is estimated that the Xia Kingdom will not pose a threat to the Song Kingdom.

Because of the secret communication, Li Yueming was already suspected. The only way to prove his innocence is to commit suicide. To prevent both parties from finding out about themselves, and finding out what happened later, ruining the plan, everyone will be taken back.

This is safe, but there is another problem. The person who is sent again may not be trusted. The only one is with the third prince of Northern Xia. Because he always knows the secrets of the seventh prince, now he acts like a villain and can know some confidential things. The rest, you have to start over.

In order for him to get promoted and make a fortune, Liu Gongquan had no choice but to send more than thirty people to him to inquire about the information and analyze the current situation, trying to maintain the balance between the two summers and not being able to look elsewhere.

There is another problem here, that is, there is also business between the Northern Xia Kingdom and the Song Dynasty. Hezhou and Xunshan are both in Southern Xia. In order to contain them, the Song Kingdom only did business with the seventh prince, but now the business is not interrupted. The Song Dynasty still sold everything in the workshop, bringing in the Xia people's furs, gems, sheep, horses, cattle, and cotton.
