There is a famous saying in modern shopping malls, "there is only so much money in the world. If you get more money, others will get less. There are no exceptions, so shopping malls are battlefields, and you must grab them!" The same is true of happiness in the world, there are only so many, if you are happy, someone will be unhappy.Unless, everyone is Diogenes, who has no desires and no desires, and it feels like heaven to have a kennel.Otherwise, there must be some reason for your happiness, and that reason must be based on the unhappiness of others. There are no exceptions, as small as negotiating 20 cents when buying potatoes today, as big as Yelu Zongzhen and Zhao Zhen bargaining on the price.

1042 AD was the second year of Song Qingli and the eleventh year of Liao Chongxi.At this time, Yeluzong was really 26 years old and had been the emperor of Liao for 11 years.Recently, he is a little troubled, life is going so smoothly, happiness is so boring! He sat on the Khitan throne and looked in all directions, first looking at his own people.From his father to his mother, from his brother to his son, he thought while watching, and felt that everyone was very good, but he was not interested, and there was something missing in his life. Dad has been dead for a long time. The death of a prominent person is like old wine. The longer it is, the more fragrant the name will be.His Majesty Shengzong, this title has been unique in the Liao Dynasty for more than a hundred years, and it will surely last forever. He can only envy him;

His mother, the powerful and vicious Ms. Xiao Weijin, doesn't matter.As early as 8 years ago, it made him feel cold.At that time, Xiao's mother suddenly felt that this son was very strange. A child raised by a rival in love, even if it was her own, would not be a good match.She secretly recruited her natal family to replace Zongzhen with her youngest son, Yelu Zhongyuan. The Liao Kingdom needed new stimulation, so it would be interesting to stage a coup. It's a pity that the youngest son has a psychological problem. Judging from Chongyuan's later performance, this Khitan child is always entangled between rebelling and not rebelling, making the country uneasy, and he himself is even more uneasy, until the whole family dies, and the Liao country also loses its vitality. Big injury.In fact, how good it would be for him to be the emperor now?But mental illness is a terminal illness.

He quietly ran to tell his elder brother, Mom is going to kill you, so think quickly about what to do. The eldest brother acted decisively and acted first, arrested a lot of uncles, took back the seal of the queen mother of the mother, moved her, and went to the grave of the father to wake up.Three years later, Zong Zhen suddenly felt sad and missed his mother, so he drove to the imperial mausoleum in Gyeongju and took his mother back to the palace. But the resentment was incomprehensible, and Xiao Weijin never forgave anyone he hated.No matter how filial Zongzhen is, it cannot be undone.So at this moment, he could only laugh at himself. It seems that the relationship between mother and child must start from the baby, and the communication must be early.

He shifted his gaze, and then looked at his brother.Yelu Chongyuan is now the emperor's younger brother, the so-called "brother and virtuous brother", the younger brother was so virtuous back then, how could the elder brother be unkind?The name of the emperor's younger brother is already the official crown prince of the Liao Kingdom, and also serves as the Privy Envoy of the North Court. He is the second person in the Liao Kingdom who stayed behind in Nanjing (now Beijing). The position is high and powerful, and each other lives in peace, so let's continue to live in peace;

The next one is his prince, and the next Liao emperor will appear 13 years later.When it comes to the name, everyone in the modern Chinese knows that it is Li Xiaofeng's sworn brother Yelu Hongji.At this time, Yeluzong should really have shown a sincere smile, very proud, this son is too ideal. First of all, this is a standard Khitan youth with spiritual beauty. Buddhism is the master of his soul. It is recommended that the great emperor Shengzong was called Manjushri by nickname. You can understand what kind of common religious language is shared between father and son, grandparents and grandchildren.History can prove what kind of career Hongji turned religion into.He and the future Emperor Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty are from the south to the north. One is called "Taojun Sect Master Emperor" and the other is called "Taozong" with the temple name. They echo each other and really make their respective countries an unprecedented ideal society.

One believes in Buddhism and the other believes in Buddhism, Song and Liao will perish in the hands of the two of them! This is all in the future.At that time, Yeluzong was really a very devout Buddhist. He firmly believed that such a good religion would make his country peaceful and the people safe, immortals and blessings would last forever, and his life would be as long as the heavens. .Everyone around him saw it, and his gaze became deep and distant.All the princes and ministers under the throne of the Khitan royal court waited for a long time before they heard the young emperor's very deep question.

"Is my brother-in-law okay?" Forgot to mention, Li Yuanhao's official wife is the princess of the Liao Kingdom, the real sister of Yelvzong.For the traditional nepotism between the two countries, they have been married for many years.It's just that there is no relationship between husband and wife at all.It is estimated that the princess of the Liao Kingdom is very self-respecting, and Li Yuanhao is a violent nerd, and they have never had good looks with each other.Judging from historical data, the princess MM was dead at this time, but the Liao Kingdom hadn't heard the news yet.

At this time, the answer Yeluzong really heard was, yes, no, but no matter what, it is very good for us. Well, Li Yuanhao is still alive.No, it was he who ran back with a fat head and a swollen face, and was kicked black by Zhang Kang.Liao is good no matter what, it's simpler.Sitting on the strongest military strength in East Asia, the Liao Kingdom sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight. The harder the two sides fight, the better it is for it. Some benefits come from nothing, such as the shortest ship between Xixia Kingdom and Li Yuanhao - money.Without the annual rewards from the Song Dynasty, and the dispute between Song and Xia was cut off, Li Yuanhao's country still only produced green salt and horses. If he wanted money to fight, he had only one way to go.

Sell ​​cattle, horses, sheep, camels and other local products to the Khitan people.But it is a pity that the price cannot be sold.Liao people have these things, and they are not uncommon at all. Whether you like to sell them or not, you are simply asking for the price, and the basement will pay you back.This resulted in a result. Li Yuanhao fought with all his life, but in fact, he was really earning money for Yeluzong. What a beautiful day it is. It could have been more beautiful. Yeluzong really asked about his brother-in-law's recent situation, and began to smile at the officials. Suddenly, the Khitan royal court shone with gold, and everyone saw large sums of cash, cloth, silk, or dark land.To ask where the beautiful life comes from, everyone looks south.

Sitting on the mountain and watching the tigers fight is just a preparatory action. If there is no next step to take advantage of the fire, he will be a dull guy who can only watch the excitement.At this time, the Song and Xia wars had been fought for almost 3 years, and the Song Dynasty had no pain, and was not afraid at all.The result will be played later, and the opportunity will never come back.Yelu Zong really gave an urgent instruction, everyone think of a way and act immediately, I want my brother to spit out the money, and I want him to be willing. Because we must be justified. At this time, the wisdom of the people of the Liao Kingdom began to emerge. Past and future history have proved that the nomadic people are not stupid at all, everyone is equal before money, and they are as smart as the Han people.They turned back the history books and quickly found the theoretical basis for the robbery. In the first month of the year, they wrote a letter to the emperor of the Song Dynasty. The letter began like this, "The Emperor of the Great Khitan Kingdom, I would like to send a letter to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty," very politely. The content is a memoir of a bloody and tearful accusation. Starting from the later Jin Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and Eleven Kingdoms, the emperors of the Han people, from Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, down to Zhao Guangyi, Zhao Heng, and the current Zhao Zhen, you are all wrong, from the root to the tip, from the root Mistakes from inside to outside, our Khitan side has been angry for a long time, we can't bear it, but we can bear it, as long as you have the sincerity to correct your mistakes. The story started with Shi Jingtang, the godson back then sincerely dedicated the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to his father Yelu Deguang.And Dad didn't take it for nothing, he sent troops to do things himself, so that he died of exhaustion in the end, so the land in the sixteen states is a reasonable and legal labor fee. But was snatched away by the violent and unreasonable Emperor Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty of the Han people. There were 3 passes and 16 counties in total.Your emperor of the Song Dynasty did not talk about returning it, but intensified it, especially your grandfather Zhao Guangyi, who not only attacked our friendly neighbor Beihan, but also suddenly crossed the border to attack Youzhou.How is this going?There is no time limit for truth, don’t think that after a long time, you will be dead, now you have to answer. And Zhao Heng, the Chanyuan alliance took advantage of it, my father is easy to talk, you don't realize it, there are 10 counties south of Waqiaoguan, we are looking forward to it day and night, you are not afraid of too much interest Calculate?As for you, my brother, you are even more out of line. Let alone Li Yuanhao.He is the son-in-law of my Liao Kingdom and my retainer. Even if he commits a serious crime, I have the final say on whether to kill him or cut him to pieces. If you fight without even telling me, do you think I am the master or the dog? ! To sum up, I suffered too much from being wronged and angry. I asked my brothers to settle the accounts clearly, and the land in the 10 counties south of Waqiaoguan must be returned to me.If you pay it back, you are a good brother, if you don't pay it back...you can figure it out yourself. Naked threats are plausible. This is the beauty of history. With the passage of time, coupled with the excellent tradition of human beings who are good at analyzing problems from multiple angles and levels, many things cannot be explained clearly.This letter was sent out in the first month of the first month of the Song Dynasty, and it was received in the first month of the Song Dynasty. Everyone started to do cardio gymnastics on the New Year's Eve. Everyone's heart is beating fast.There is no need to calculate this matter too much. His Majesty Taizong was unable to bear the joint pressure of Dangxiang and Khitan back then, and was forced to sue for peace with the Liao Kingdom.What's more, at this time, Dangxiang has become so powerful, the turmoil in the northwest, coupled with the war in the northeast, the border defense of the Song Dynasty is bound to collapse!After that, all the land north of Kaifeng fell. The Song Dynasty had only one side with the strongest military equipment.That is, the comprehensive defense circle on the border defense line, and the huge forbidden army group in Kaifeng City. There is a vacuum zone between the two. For the usual garrison, you can refer to Yanzhou City on Yanyan Road. There are only a few hundred or more than a thousand troops. Soldiers are basically useless.Think again that in the 39 years since the Chanyuan Alliance, everything from equipment to personnel on the northern front is in a state of leisure, and there is no need to fight this battle at all. Dead. The question arises, will the coercion of the Liao people be accepted?To land or to war?Or think about it a little deeper, with the brave spirit of keeping your eyes open even when you are about to die, let's analyze carefully, how much courage do the people of Liao really want to go to war, as long as they don't get the land? Bargaining, is it possible? When thinking in this way, every reasonable Song Dynasty person will vaguely feel another possibility.Will the Khitan people really join forces with their son-in-law Li Yuanhao to destroy the Song Dynasty... In the face of danger, as big as a country, or as small as a certain person's fineness is revealed, only at this moment can you see 100% clearly what kind of people they are. When it comes to danger, it is the smartest people who are the first to collapse in the face of danger.These people were the "elites" of the Song Dynasty at that time. Only because of his cleverness, he is treacherous, and because of his treachery, he gains power.They are the Zaizhi Group of the Song Dynasty, and when it comes to individuals, they are Lu Yijian and Yan Shu. There is evidence to say that they are broken and "smart".This is their response to the Khitan extortion.The Zaizhi Group obediently gave in, and they chose to accept the move.The first step is to select the accompanying envoy of the Song Dynasty, and this person must go to meet the envoy of the Liao Kingdom.Correspondingly, this person will also be responsible for all missions and negotiations in the future. Who is this person?After thinking and thinking, Lu Yijian elected a tough guy for the country and the people.He reminded Zhao Zhen in private, Your Majesty, do you still remember which courtier was the most cruel and merciless to you when you divorced? Hmm, Fan Zhongyan? No, Fu Bi. Zhao Zhen suddenly remembered that Fu Bi had written a memorial back then, describing him as an inferior emperor who disrespected his parents, was lewd, and framed Zhongliang. every day.Yes, this courtier is very characteristic, at least he is very courageous.Alright, let's send him to strike iron with the Khitan people. In this way, Lu Yijian recommended a loyal and virtuous minister to the country at a time of crisis regardless of enmity.The mention of this point in the history books of all dynasties will be related to his previous recommendation of Fan Zhongyan to the Northwest Front, saying that although Prime Minister Lu usually forms cliques, dominates the court, does things insidiously, and is a bad guy, he is still very good in big things and big directions. Well. really?There is a fact hidden here.May I ask Prime Minister Lu Da can cover the sky with one hand, so how powerful is he?How many helpers are there?Why does he always push his political opponents when the country employs people? Where did his own people go? Looking through the entire history of the Song Dynasty, when Lu Yijian's people appeared on the stage, they were all extremely brave in the internal struggle.These people can be covered in one sentence - insidious villains, who only trip up others and shoot cold arrows, have no ability in the country's business, and are basically all idiots. Subordinates and cronies are all idiots, so what is a leader?Big idiot, big treacherous minister, this is the truth about Lu Yijian. After the frequent appointments, there was an uproar in the government and the public, and the most uproar was the great talent Ouyang Xiu.Ouyang Xiu wrote a memorial to the emperor overnight, Your Majesty, do you still remember how the virtuous official Yan Zhenqing of the Tang Dynasty died?You have good servants, don't just throw them around like garbage. Yan Zhenqing, the world knows "Yan Jinliu Gu", that is, no matter how ranked among the top three calligraphers in all Chinese dynasties. "The Manuscript of Worshiping Nephew" is only slightly inferior to "Preface to Lanting" and ranks second in the world of running script, and he is even more loyal.In the first year of Tang Dezong Xingyuan, AD 784, Li Xilie, the governor of Huaixi, rebelled. The traitor Lu Qi killed people with a knife, and sent Yan Zhenqing to persuade him. That's really a spoof. At that time, 30 years had passed since the Anlushan rebellion, and the Tang Dynasty had already entered the era of separatist regimes. Whoever has soldiers is the king.In the face of the rebellion, he went to "persuade" him, which is completely courting death.But Yan Zhenqing really went, there is only one reason, that is the emperor's order.In this way, Li Xilie strangled Li Xilie to death at that time. Now sending Fu Bi to Khitan, do you want him to die there too?A weak country has no diplomacy. At this time, the Song Dynasty killed tens of thousands of people in the Northwest battlefield, and the Northeast was riddled with paper lanterns. What kind of bargain did Fu Bi use as a talisman? Even if the Khitan killed him, wouldn’t it be Can Song Dynasty really avenge him? These are all questions.How realistic, but the memorial was reported, but there was no response at all.Very classic, "not to report", was suppressed by the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang.This is Lu Yijian's signature move.Fu Bi's appointment took effect, and he walked into the palace to bid farewell to the emperor. "The Lord is worried about the humiliation of his ministers, and the ministers dare not love him to death." This is what Fu Bi left in the history books, your worries are my shame.The word became a prophecy, and the shame really came oncoming.He arrived at the frontier Xiongzhou at the end of the first month and the beginning of February, and waited until the middle of March, when the envoy from the Liao Kingdom arrived late.It was Xiao Ying and Liu Liufu who came, and Fu Bi and an eunuch went to meet them, and saw Ambassador Xiao sitting with a sword and a golden horse, and he didn't have the slightest intention to stand up. This is a serious insult.Regardless of Fu Bi's status, the eunuchs around him are no small matter. He is the agent of the emperor of the Song Dynasty, no different from Emperor Renzong. Fu Bi looked at him coldly, and asked Xiao Ying what you were doing. The Khitan man replied indifferently, my feet hurt and I can't stand up. The position is clear, if you say that the Khitan people are honest and lovely, they have made it clear from the beginning that they no longer take the Song Dynasty seriously.I'm here to blackmail, it's not the same as before, understand? I understand, Fu Bi understands, and every Song Dynasty person present understands.This is common sense, there is no eternal struggle between countries, let alone eternal peace.Especially those treaties and alliances.Oaths are for betrayal, every adult understands this truth! But there are also things that the Khitan people don't understand.Some people value money, especially power, so they will soften their legs when they see money and threats, such as Qidan and Dangxiang.When a soldier meets a sword, the other takes advantage of a person's danger.The people of the Song Dynasty were different, and perhaps the Han people from ancient times to the present are also different, and they confuse other races. Why do you talk so much, what is integrity, where do you get so many reasons, whoever conquers whom, isn't the "wolf nature" the best in this world? It is indeed very puzzling, and the Han people themselves do not understand these issues very well, but they have been doing this for thousands of years.At this time, Fu Bi asked coldly, I was an envoy to you Khitan before, and I was ill at that time, and I would worship as soon as I heard my order, and I would never be rude.Now our envoy (eunuch) is here, you say you are sick, just sit like this, what kind of etiquette is this? To be honest, this question is very general, neither harsh nor irritating.Fu Bi had to observe diplomatic etiquette, so he couldn't just say that you Khitan people don't have good legs and feet, so you have to send you, a cripple, out?The consequences were so wonderful that even Fu Bi couldn't believe it, and he immediately tried out the depth of the Khitan people. Xiao Ying stood up suddenly. He might really have a problem with his legs and feet. He needed two subordinates to support him before he could kneel and kowtow to the envoy of the Song Dynasty.Bah, the people of the Song Dynasty present must have collectively cursed inwardly, damn the Khitan people, is this going soft?I thought you guys were so fierce, but it turns out that's just the color. Fu Bi also had a bottom line in his heart.According to the official history of the Song Dynasty, throughout the process, Fu Bi always believed that the Liao Kingdom unilaterally undermined the friendly spirit of the "Chanyuan Alliance".Because they are despicable, the Khitan people will definitely feel guilty and embarrassed in actual operation. On the side of the Song Dynasty, they must be more righteous and unscrupulous. What to do, what to say, you have to let go, don't be timid, there is no need at all. If this is the case, Fu Bi's integrity and national self-esteem must be magnified ten thousand times.He should not be a negotiating envoy at all, he should stand directly on the border and scold the Khitan people back, despicable and shameless thing, go back and tell Yelu Zongzhen, what kind of ambassador to send, the Song Dynasty just treats you like a piece of shit, go back and wait for death! Negotiation is first and foremost a technical job, and you have to figure out the quality of the other party first.Now Fu Bi understands that it is basically impossible to go to war.Only then did he become bold and frank. During the ten days from the border to the capital, he had close contact with two Liao people and chatted anytime and anywhere.Gradually, the Liao people also spoke their minds. Stop, the general history books here, directly say that the two Liao ambassadors began to leak state secrets, the reason is Fu Bi's superb conversation skills, it seems that just a fool can brainwash the people of Liao.The actual situation is far more complicated than this. Passing by Chanzhou, the place where the monarchs of Song and Liao formed an alliance, Fu Bi suddenly asked Liu Liufu, this is a famous city, and there is a famous person stationed here at this moment, who is quite familiar with you and interested in going take a look? who?asked the two Liao people. Fu Bi's expression was very proud. He was the only surviving famous general in the Song Dynasty at this time, and he was a man who was truly majestic on the battlefield. Wang Deyong. His name has long been part of the legend.When he was young, he ran thousands of miles and drove Li Jiqian out of Qing and Baichi's lairs; 28 years ago during the Chanyuan War, he and his father Wang Chao commanded the Dingzhou formation, with nearly 150,000 elite soldiers, cutting off the retreat of Empress Dowager Xiao and Liao Shengzong. , Finally, the Liao State signed the "Chanyuan Alliance".In the Song Dynasty, and even in the Liao Kingdom and Xixia, he was on the same level as Cao Wei, a famous general in the late Zhenzong Dynasty and the ten years when Liu E was in power in the Renzong Dynasty. When the two envoys from the Liao Kingdom heard this, they immediately became interested.Must visit. Walking into Chanzhou City, the two Liao people were taken aback.One of the reasons they came to threaten this time was that the Song Dynasty did not abide by the rules and increased troops, built forts, and dug ditches on the border, but both sides knew well that the increase was militia and did not pose a threat at all.At this time, the city of Chanzhou was full of regular troops, and the streets and alleys were heavily guarded, which was completely a wartime standard.How is this going? The Song Dynasty had been prepared for a long time, and it was basically preparing for war? With question marks in their stomachs, they met the legendary young hero.At this time, Wang Deyong's beard and hair are all white, and he is already 62 years old.The prestige of the sixty-year-old veteran has not diminished in the past, and the envoy of the Liao Kingdom presented him with a high hat as soon as he met. "We have admired your name for a long time. We are so lucky to meet you today. This year's harvest in Chanzhou is due to your good governance." Wang Deyong smiled slightly, a person who was a privy envoy, a top official in the Song Dynasty, what kind of polite words have you never seen?He put the conversation on track with ease. "Our son of heaven, Shengming, is benevolent, so the harvest is bumper year after year." It's a boring cliché, but the exciting one is below. Wang Deyong led them into the living room, and introduced them to some of the celebrities present during the conversation.These names made Xiao Ying and Liu Liufu concentrate and even listen carefully (竦听). The former privy envoy Wang Deyong is currently deployed at Dingzhou Road in Zhendingfu, and will be named Dingzhou and Sanludu in a few days to lead the northern military; The Department of Left Behind in Beijing is also the pacifier of Hebei; the former prime minister Chen Zhizhong was educated in Qingzhou, and also the pacifier of Qingzhou, Zi, Wei and other prefectures. In addition to these three top figures, there are also a large number of personnel transfers.There is only one direction, north. These all clearly and unmistakably show that the Song Dynasty is gathering strength in the northeast direction. Facing the threat, the Song Dynasty chose to fight hard. Only after this did the envoys of the Liao Kingdom chat privately with Fu Bi.These two people first stated the real goal of the Liao Emperor.There are two, or hand over the land. Or, marry the princess of the Song Dynasty.You have to have one or the other. The land and the princess, let alone the land, have indeed been lost since the founding of the Song Dynasty, such as Lingzhou in Xixia.But princess, the Song Dynasty is not the Tang Dynasty, let alone the Han Dynasty.Starting from Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty, the monarchs of all dynasties have the air of a rascal in the market. When doing things for others, they only talk about means, and it is rare to talk about taste and formality.For example, when Liu Bang saw Confucian disciples, he grabbed their tall hats and urinated in public.The imperial court of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was unconventional, and the big men wore gauze materials to the palace naked, which was greatly appreciated. Especially at that time, there was no so-called Taoism and Lijiao later, and there was nothing disgraceful about a woman remarrying or even having an illegitimate child.For example, Huo Qubing, the peerless Han general, did not hide at all that he was an illegitimate child, and that he was the illegitimate child born of a slave.Therefore, for the benefit of the country and the nation, they can marry their daughters to the northern barbarians. Of course, they are also informal when they do this kind of thing, and they usually use palace maids instead; The Tang Dynasty was an era when Hu and Han were indistinguishable.The royal blood of the Li Dynasty contained the blood of the Hu people, and from this derived, they asked for help from other races again and again to quell domestic rebellions.Until the appearance of Anlu Mountain, the Hu people finally got stuck and dug out the big pit where the Tang Dynasty fell.With this mentality, they don't mind intermarrying with other races. What's more, their strong status also makes intermarriage feel no humiliation. But the Song Dynasty couldn't do it. Although Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi were born civilians, they yearned for culture.The great defense of ritual education and the Han standard thought were revived at this time, and it was by no means accidental that the later Cheng and Zhu ritual studies could sprout and grow in the Song Dynasty.Under the leadership of this kind of thinking, especially at this time, the Song Dynasty was at a disadvantage. If they intermarried, it would be a greater shame and humiliation than losing their territory and seeking peace after defeat! After saying the conditions, the two Liao people probably saw Fu Bi's angry look, and they immediately added another sentence. "You can follow it, follow it. If you don't follow it, just use one thing to stop it. The king loves to nourish the people, and the old good will not be lost." If you can agree, agree, if you don't agree, forget it, find a reason to prevaricate, you must not get angry, the friendly relationship between our two countries is the most important.I still have to count on you to do things. After entering Kaifeng City, the faces of these two people changed again, almost the same as when they first arrived at the border.Standing high and arrogant, of course it is inevitable to kneel down and kowtow to Emperor Renzong, but what he said was completely from the status of Shangguo. What, are you making fun of these two Khitans?Please don't, the emissary's kung fu is very authentic.One set on the table, one set below the stage, with a mission on his body, double-deckering is the basic skill of this job. In the spirit of the Khitan's letter of credence, they demanded that the Song Dynasty first explain clearly the reasons for abusing the Liao Kingdom in the past few decades, and incidentally, another impassioned impromptu performance took place. Liu Liufu said, what do you always dig ditches at the border in the Southern Dynasties?Isn't it just to beware of our cavalry?Let me tell you, that is useless at all, we can jump over if we throw some reeds and straws.If we really wanted to be ruthless, we simply dug up the ditch, and 100,000 cavalrymen threw a bag of soil each to fill it up! After finishing speaking, he walked down to the palace, leaving the emperor and ministers of the Song Dynasty panting there.For a long time, Zhao Zhen asked, everyone talks, how to answer questions, what to do about the ditch, is it true that the Liao people really can't tolerate it, and with it, they can recruit 100,000 cavalry and bumpkins?Or is it that we are building these fortifications completely to deceive our ears and steal the bell, and it is of no use at all except to make people laugh? Note that from then on, history has become very child's play. When the two richest and most powerful countries in the world at that time discussed the most serious and important territorial issues, the methods, arguments, questions, and answers they used were all like small Children are playing games.The reason for this is not that the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom are degenerating, and that the monarchs of this generation are all waste.Instead, it revealed a truth that only a few people could see through at the time, but Zhao Zhen and Yelu Zongzhen were not included.They will gradually understand in the various disputes that follow.But at that time, things have changed, and what happened has long since been unable to be changed, and there is absolutely no way to regret it. These disputes determined the national fortunes of Song, Liao, and Xixia. Looking at the most cowardly and incompetent, the most humiliated, but the safest and most stable.The most yearned-for legend in the five thousand years of history was formed afterwards; the most powerful and enterprising, the most vigorous, became sluggish, and the remaining history of more than a hundred years later has no achievements to be proud of. ;As for the one who wants to take advantage the most, and really takes advantage of both sides, it will suffer the most, and the catastrophe of subjugation of the country and species will be planted at this time! That's all for later, now let's see what they have done. The first is an intellectual question and answer, a question from the Liao Kingdom, answered by Wang Gongchen, a top literati in the Song Dynasty, former number one scholar, and current Hanlin scholar. Mr. Wang browsed through the vast historical materials, and quickly found a small flaw in the Liao Kingdom. He said that Emperor Taizong did suddenly attack Youzhou after defeating the Northern Han Dynasty, but that decision was made under another sudden situation.The Liao people first expressed their neutrality and sent regular envoys to the marching camp to give gifts and solicit friendship, but on the other side they quietly sent troops to support the Northern Han Dynasty. When we discovered it, a fierce battle broke out at Shiling Pass, and our General Guo Jin won a big victory. win.In this historical bridge, our Song Dynasty was completely forced to fight, as for attacking Youzhou. In the face of provocation, can't we vent a bit? As for the ditch problem on the border, Wang Gongchen's view is to ignore it.The reason is very simple, if the Khitan people really regard the anti-riding ditches as worthless, they will shut up and keep their mouths open. How good is that for a surprise attack when the war starts?Now that I said it, it was just a verbal threat.Don't even bother, as if you didn't hear anything. This has entered the second stage, blackmail. Facing the threat of war from the Liao people, the Song Dynasty made a counter-offer.It is absolutely impossible to cede the territory, the matter of marriage is negotiable, the real princess should not dream, the girl from the clan's offshoot may be able to.The only thing the Song Dynasty could agree to was to add money.There is a slight fluctuation above the annual 300,000 taels.Other than that, no further discussions. On the seventh day of the fourth lunar month, Fu Bi followed the envoys of the Liao Kingdom on the road to have a real interview with Yeluzong in the Liao Kingdom.Before leaving, a small episode happened.The Song Dynasty decided to promote Fu Bi.This is a common practice. During the Chanyuan War, the negotiating envoy of the Song Dynasty was Cao Yong, who was only a small clerk in the Privy Council. For the sake of the country's dignity, he was temporarily promoted to Gemen Zhihou and Chongyi Deputy Envoy.At this time, Fu Bi was right-handed and knew Zhigao, which was already quite high, especially Zhizhigao, second only to Hanlin bachelors. As usual, when he was promoted to an official position, all boats rose with the tide, and he was promoted to be a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wai Lang, and a privy direct bachelor.It makes people's hearts beat, how many people dream of looking forward to it, like some shameless old officials mentioned above, who actually ran to the emperor and cried bitterly, because they were old and had no chance to enter the two palaces, it was really not reconciled , I really want it—— Fu Bi's answer was that the state is in emergency, and it is the duty of the minister to obey orders and go back and forth. Why do you want to bribe me with officials and titles? (How can I bribe it with officials and nobles!) Fu Bi went on the road at his original post, all the way to the north, and from the beginning to the end, he enjoyed the red and black face treatment of the Liao Kingdom's collusion.Due to his status, the black face was naturally reserved for Yelu Zongzhen, and the red face was Liu Liufu among the two envoys. Near the capital of the Liao Kingdom, Liu Liufu found Fu Bi in private.Mr. Fu, if our emperor insists on ceding land and refuses to agree to anything else, what should we do? Fu Bi understands that, to put it bluntly, this is to test the cards first, and set the tone for the upcoming negotiations at the head of state level.To put it worse, the Liao people were already bargaining, and they blocked the Song Dynasty's back road from the very beginning, and there was no room for maneuver. There is only one countermeasure, never give in.Even an inch of retreat will provoke greater greed.Fu Bi said, if you must cede the land, you will be breaking the covenant, and the "Chanyuan Covenant" will be void.If this is really the case, the cession of land is just an excuse. We in the Southern Dynasty will never agree to it, and we can only wait for it. The Liao people seemed very sad, alas, if you are so stubborn in the Southern Dynasty, this matter will be difficult. Fu Bi was almost annoyed. Is there anything more shameless than this?You want to kill me, but you want me to sharpen the knife for you?He adjusted for a long time before he could answer in the formal official language.You Northern Dynasty demanded land cession for no reason, but we did not immediately send troops to resist, but sent me to discuss marrying daughters and increasing money with good words, so you all disagree, and you still say that we are stubborn in the Southern Dynasty? Liu Liufu thought for a long time, but said nothing.Many people said that he could no longer continue.But I don't think so, there is no most shameless, only more shameless, I want to say that there will always be a reason, otherwise there is no need for the emperor of Liao to appear.He didn't speak, because he had achieved his goal, and the private contact broke down. The people of Song Dynasty refused to give in, so they could only continue with threats. Emperor Yeluzong of the Liao Kingdom really appeared on the stage, and he received Fu Bi in the palace.After the etiquette, the historical record is what Fu Bi said first.It has been 40 years since the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty reconciled, with two generations of father and son.Now you suddenly demand to cede the land, why? Yeluzong really replied that he had simplified the previous letter of credence and memorized it again.It is nothing more than that the Song Dynasty violated the contract first, and the charges included "blocking Yanmen, Zengtang water, governing the city god, and joining the militia".The ministers all said to send troops directly to let you know what is good or bad, but the emperor is very kind and thinks that we should go back to our Guannan land first.If your Song Dynasty refuses to agree, it will not be too late to send troops.Messenger of Fu, what do you think? Fu Bi looked at this 26-year-old foreign youth and felt really discouraged.It seems that the basic education is still not good, and the history subjects are not good enough. Why don't you know anything, even how to be the emperor of the Liao Kingdom? There was no way, Fu Bi decided to start from the beginning, teaching the little emperor of Liao Kingdom.The content is divided into two parts, first, a comprehensive review of the Battle of Chanyuan that year; Will be replaced.This Yeluzong really can't sit still. Regarding number one, Fu Bi asked him, has the Liao Kingdom forgotten the great virtues of Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty?In the Battle of Chanyuan back then, if you had followed the generals' advice and intercepted you halfway, would there be any survivors in the Liao Kingdom? In the second article, Fu Bi asked him, do you know that there will be any identity changes between the emperor and his courtiers of your Liao Kingdom during peacetime and after war?The Khitan boy was a little confused. In order to let him understand it more thoroughly, Fu Bi summarized the problem into one sentence: You benefit personally from being friendly with the Song Dynasty; and your subjects benefit from going to war with the Song Dynasty.Now your minister encourages you to fight, who do you want to benefit? Yeluzong really panicked immediately, he asked in shock (surprised): "What do you mean?" (What do you mean?) Fu Bi took him back to history again, which was really a long history lesson.From the time of the Five Dynasties and Eleven Kingdoms.Teacher Fu said that the reason why the Khitan people were able to get the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, among them are the 10 counties south of Waqiaoguan that you always can’t let go, because the two emperors Shi Jingtang and Shi Chonggui of the later Jin Dynasty, one of them paid homage to yours. Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang asked for help, and the sixteen prefectures were the reward for sending troops.One can't see the situation clearly and is stupid enough to challenge you. Only after failure can the Liao Kingdom become emperor in the Central Plains. It looks like a complete victory, and the war is only good for you.But it should be noted that the so-called "China" at that time was just a small court that was unpopular in the later Jin Dynasty.With such territory, strength, and people's hearts, what happened to you was that even Emperor Yelu Deguang himself died in the Han Dynasty and returned home as a corpse.Is this the success you have been so proud of? And the most important point is where is the final harvest.It is true that he made a fortune by robbing a large amount of property, but whose hands did it all go to?Dacaogu, you always understand, whoever grabs it belongs to him, and there is no obligation to turn it in.All went into the pockets of ministers, generals, and soldiers.But the casualties, as well as the consumption of food, grass, and military supplies, all have to be borne by the emperor! Don't you know all these? Yeluzong was stunned to hear that, his father died early, his mother was purely violent, and the ministers had selfish intentions, no one really told him. Before Fu Bi finished speaking, the most important sentence was saved until the end.请问，后晋一个残破的小国都能让契丹受到重创，现在我们宋朝提封万里，精兵百万，钱粮无数，法令修明，上下一心，你要开战，有必胜的把握吗？ 耶律宗真沉默了很久，慢慢地说出了两个字。 "cannot." 服软了，很好。但是富弼纠正他。 不是不能，实事求是地说，是“胜负未可知”。咱们退一万步讲，是辽国胜利，那时所损失的兵马、国力，是大臣们负责，还是您负责？相反如果两国通好，坚持盟约，那时每年宋朝的岁币只归陛下一人，臣子们只有往来的使者，才能分到一些赏赐。这就是关键，你们辽国的所有大臣，都分不到半点好处。哪儿多哪儿少，还不清楚吗？ 解说到这里，历史记载富弼就闭紧了嘴，再不啰嗦。该说的都说了，连表面政治下面的厚黑本质都解说得一清二楚，还需要再说什么？现在两国的国运，天下的生灵，都取决于一个问题。那就是这位辽国的小皇帝，26岁的契丹青年耶律宗真到底有几分智商。 没傻到无可救药的程度，都知道该怎么做。 但奇妙的是，耶律宗真想了又想，居然把富弼刚才所说的话都删除了，他绕了一大圈，又重新回到了最初始点。“嗯，爱卿你说得很好，要不是你，我还真是不知道这些。不过，我还是要瓦桥关以南的10个县城。因为它是我祖宗留给我的遗产。” 没救了，全体宋朝人听了都得苦笑，辽国人真是有才，跟他们说不清道不明，黑眼珠子只认得白银子，无论怎样都要钱！ 可现场的富弼一定在瞬间寒冷，他会重新打量这个契丹年青人。姓耶律的果然不简单，跟着别人的思路走，突然接触到前所未知的危险，但一点都没慌，而是想到了更深更远更多的东西——基于辽国国情，打仗皇帝吃亏，可不打仗，皇位是怎么来的？ 所以打还是要打的，只是要讲策略。我要得利，不一定非得出兵不可。明摆着现在宋朝西北吃紧，我是在白敲竹杠，敲得再响，大臣们能得到什么？我会受到怎样的威胁？ 面对赤裸裸的要挟，面对耶律宗真更加坚定的威胁，富弼变得沉静，他收回了之前循循善诱的长者嘴脸。公务员在办公时，没法不多预备几张面具。 他缓缓地说，当年石敬瑭以卢龙一道贿赂契丹，周世宗柴荣讨伐关南，这都是从前的异代之事了。赵宋中兴汉地已经90年，如果我们各自索要异代故地，不见得是辽国的好事。 耶律宗真立即沉默了，史书记载“国主无言”。富弼在反过来要挟他，你一定要瓦桥关以南10县，我们还要燕云十六州呢。那在契丹兴起之前，数千年间都是我们的土地！ 一片沉寂，冷场了，看着是富弼找死，忘了来时的使命。宋朝千叮咛万嘱咐，只许和，不许战的。但内幕微妙。刚才耶律宗真明知道开战对皇位不利，仍然执意索要土地，就是摸准了战争不会暴发。可现在汉人摆明了不甩他，你要战便作战，别想不劳而获。 好一阵子，耶律宗真率先说话，打破了僵持。他换了一个话题。李元昊是我的藩臣，宋朝攻打他，为什么不先请示我？ 富弼再没有好话给他。你们契丹人攻打高丽、黑水，通知过我们南朝吗？扬眉吐气的一句话，可紧跟着使命就提醒了他，他要做的是什么。富弼调整心态，再次和缓下来。他说，我来时，受命宋朝皇帝向您致意，转达他的话。 陛下说，事先不知李元昊与兄弟联姻，他挑起战争，所以我方要讨伐。现在兄弟你有话说，让我为难。讨伐他会伤我们兄弟的情义，不讨伐，我的子民们会无辜惨死。现在我要问，兄弟你觉得怎样处理才好？（不知弟何以处之？） 耶律宗真很认真地听了，之后的举动更认真到了隆重的地步。他不顾形象，在邦交的正式场合把对等国的使者扔到一边不管，去和自己的大臣们扎堆聊天。聊了很久之后，他才转回来，说出了一句超有内涵的话。 “元昊为寇，岂可使南朝不击乎。” 李元昊当贼了，怎么能让宋朝不打他呢？乍一看真是很有良知，契丹人终于说出了句公平话。但是稍微细想一下，就会知道富弼当时一定气得咬牙切齿。滑头的契丹人，就这么装傻搪塞我们？ ! 绅士们谈话有个方式叫暗示，那是情趣，是风度，更是教养。赵祯让富弼带来的话没写进国书，直接和耶律宗真说，里面有层再明显不过的意思。 你说李元昊是你的亲戚加家臣，怪我擅自动他。很好，现在我给你面子，认同你们的关系，还争求你的意见。从表面上看，是说你同意的话，我就要打他了。引申一下的话，可以联想成如果你反对，我就不理他。 认吃这个亏。 一般来讲，字面上只能分析到这里为止。但如果契丹一句口头的反对，就能让宋朝俯首帖耳，逆来顺受，随便李元昊打骂都不还手的话，请问耶律宗真还忍得住吗？ 这么好的买卖，我自己去做好了，直接拿下宋朝！ 所以后一种联想不对。那么看前一种，宋朝不甘侵略，只有应战，那么给契丹人的这句话，还有什么意义？一般史书上解释，是说宋朝惧怕辽国和西夏联合，不论是理论上还是实际上，两个蛮族合伙打劫，宋朝必死无疑。所以要千方百计的和耶律宗真搞好关系，这句口信就是方法之一。 看似没错，但之前富弼已经把开战后对辽国的损伤解释得一清二楚，耶律宗真对自己单练都没兴趣，怎么会去相信李元昊，和姐夫合伙做生意？真要做了，难道说，是李元昊比他的大臣更可信任？ 活见鬼，这两人一个是硬抢东西，一个是死占便宜，很快就会动手火并，联合？做梦去吧。 所以前一种说法也不对。 唯一的解释，是宋仁宗托富弼带过来的这句口信里有个潜台词，耶律小弟，你的手下，你能管管不？ 让契丹人居中调停，才是宋朝的本意。这一点耶律宗真绝对是明白了，他的朝臣们更是清楚，君臣聚成一堆谈了那么久，终于想出了这句超有内涵的答复。 “元昊为寇，岂可使南朝不击乎。” 说得多艺术，半点错处都挑不出来，可也跟没说完全一个样。西夏很欠打，你去打好了，你们往死里打，无论打成什么样，都合理合法。 当天富弼走出了辽国皇宫，脚步变得格外沉重。契丹人比想像的更难对付。不是凶残或者贪婪的问题，100多年的汉化，他们连厚黑都懂了。 下一步再怎么办呢？明的、暗的、劝说、威胁、暗示，能做的都做了，对方反而变得更狡诈贪婪。平心而论，他的工作正滑向失败，局面非常恶劣。最难的是，他不知道突破口在哪里。 正在闹心，变数自己找上了门来。黑脸唱过，红脸登场，刘六符来了。刚分手又见面，话题却180度大转弯，这个辽国人问的居然是——富大人，想当年宋太宗陛下扫平了北汉，突然进攻幽州，刚才你们又说要讨伐党项，请问党项臣服之后，你们会怎么样？会不会再去打燕云十六州的主意？（无乃复欲谋燕蓟乎？） 一缕阳光突然照进了富弼的心里，契丹人当真了？他迅速回放不久前说过的话。“……我们各自索要异代故地，不见得是辽国的好事。”辽国人也害怕战争！ 得出这个结论，富弼变得不动声色。他这样回答，太宗时，辽国先派剌梅里来通好，但又出兵石岭关援助北汉，是你们反覆无常，才激怒了我们太宗皇帝，发动的战争。这都是你们咎由自取。（盖北朝自取之也） 回答得非常妙，以彼之道还施彼身。就像耶律宗真刚才耍猾头一样，富弼一点都没回答刘六符的问题，我们会不会打完西夏打幽州？你自己去想，我只是告诉你，你们已经自找麻烦过一次，人得有记性！ 话里有话，聪明人都懂。刘六符立即转移了话题，进入下一个话题。 “金钱是小东西，如果接受了，我们皇帝觉得很耻辱。如果一定要收回关南10县土地，富大人，这事怎么办？” 这是相当有诚意地私下交底了，富弼决定也把宋朝的底线说出来。“我们皇帝曾说，'朕为人子孙，岂敢妄以祖宗故地与人。当年澶渊之战白刃相向，真宗皇帝都没有动摇，今天怎能随便割地？'” 这是宋朝的态度，土地没得商量。随即他说出来解决的办法。 “现在你们一定要得到10县土地，说到底，能带给你们的不过是税收。宋朝提议，以相当数量的金帛代替，与得到10县有什么区别？” 这是具体的办法。接下来的是宋朝的决心。所谓底线是什么，是不可后退，不可商量，绝无转環的东西！ “宋皇体念两国百姓，不愿开战，涂碳生灵，所以拿出金钱来满足你们。如果这样也不接受，一定要土地的话，就是你们背信弃义，毁掉盟约，宋朝只有一战！” “当年澶渊之盟，天地神祗共见，北朝先发兵端，朕无愧于心，更无愧于天地神明。” 契丹使者静静地听完，似乎很满意。“宋朝皇帝真是太好了，这些想法很不错。咱俩共同努力，把这件事办成吧。”说完转身离开。 他身后，富弼的神情变得更加凝重。事情似乎有了重大的转机，真的向好的方向转变了？但辽国人到底怎么想，谁又能猜得出呢…… 应该就在这时，富弼意外地接到了一封信。离国千里，身在异邦，这竟然是一封家书。家里怎么了？没有特殊的大事，绝不会千里迢迢送信来。 疑虑，恐惧，捧着这样的信，越是关心家庭的男人，就会想得越多，想得越坏。但是周围的人看到，富弼拿着这封信居然长时间地一动不动，没拆，最后竟然慢慢地把它撕碎了。 手下人惊问为什么。富弼苦笑了一下，我身当国任，怎能为区区家事分心？何况……我离家那么远，就算知道了，也无能为力。 说完直接去睡觉，明日之事多烦忧，那么多的事都还等着呢。想想真是郁闷，大丈夫可以不惧生死，但不能有负使命。想放手也放不下，必须得赢！可怎样才能赢呢？契丹人一天七八个变化，谁知道明天又有怎样的花样。 第二天，花样真的来了，辽国人通知他们别去皇宫正殿了，耶律宗真要去打猎，邀请宋朝使团一起参加。就这样文官富弼骑上了马，跟着契丹骑兵赶到了荒郊野外。历代史书写到这里，都直接过渡到耶律宗真和富弼的对话上，那似乎很温和，甚至很尊重。 耶律宗真请富弼向他靠近，两人并骑而行，这是绝大的礼遇，然后问，你还有什么要说的吗？（问所欲言）但请设身处地，换位思考，想象我们就是富弼，当时他听到了什么，看到了什么，才知道辽国皇帝问这句话时的语气和目的。 皇帝出猎，千军万马，茫茫的北方草原上，强盛百年的契丹铁骑无边无沿地排开，这是怎样的阵势，怎样的威慑。这样的场面，齐桓公用过，曹操用过，就是要压倒敌国使者，达到自己的目地！ 在这样的环境里，契丹皇帝问，你还有什么想说的吗？ ! “南朝唯欲欢好之久尔。”——我们宋朝只是希望能继续合好，越久越好。富弼如是说。 目的达到！耶律宗真非常满意，南朝的汉人终于露出本来面目了，昨天在宫殿里怎样夸夸其谈都是假相，只要到了战场，见到军队，就都会屈服！面对刀枪弓箭，才会明白只有合好，唯有合好，才是唯一的活路！于是他得意洋洋地重申自己的目标：“我得地则欢好可久。” 一定要得到土地。 却不料他又听见了富弼清晰的声音。“这件事，我朝皇帝早有训示。辽国想得到祖宗故地，宋朝难道就愿意失去祖宗故地吗？辽国以得地为荣，宋朝也以失地为辱，兄弟之邦，难道可以一荣一辱，皆然相反吗？”说到这里，富弼的忍耐终于到了极限，而且那也实在是一个自由生存的民族的底线。 身在异国，周围数以万计的敌兵，他直视辽国皇帝，以宋朝皇帝的身份口吻说出这样的话：“朕并没有忘记燕云十六州，但仍然派出使者交涉这件事，到底怎么做，我们双方心里都清楚。” 这是男人说的话，别再废话了，狡辩无意义，土地一寸也没有！ 史料中，猎场对话到此结束，耶律宗真没有再接下去。他的反应可以在下面的记载中得出。刘六符再次出场，他找到富弼说。“您刚才所说的荣辱问题，让我们的皇帝有所感悟（皇帝闻公荣辱之言，意甚感悟），但是金钱绝对不考虑，现在唯一感兴趣的是结亲。” 喜悦突然降临，重大胜利，辽国不要求割地了！危机渡过，相信宋朝的使团人员肯定在瞬间心花怒放，可是富弼反而更加冷静，他一眼就看出了辽国人真正的意图。 “结亲并不理想，”他说，“麻烦反而更多。先是感情，夫妻之间难免会生气，那会影响邦交。再说人的寿命各不相同，一旦有意外，以后的情义就很难说。最稳妥的办法仍然还是金钱。” 刘六符摇头，坚持一定要结婚。“南朝皇帝一定有公主。” 富弼点头，“是有，可惜才4岁，成亲至少要在10年以后。就算提前迎娶，也要5年之后。现在的局面，你看能等得到吗？” 问题很现实，可辽国人还在坚持。富弼笑了笑，一句话就打消了对方的幻想。“宋朝嫁公主，嫁妆不过是10万贯。” 这句话说完，刘六符立即就走了。 房间里只剩下了宋朝人，异样的气氛开始在空气里浮动。每个人都想庆祝一番，重大胜利，只要土地不被割让，他们的使命就算完成。 但是快乐来得太突然了，是不是还有别的什么潜在说法？不来不知道，传说中憨厚朴实特别真诚的北方人，原来都是变戏法出身的，一天一个样，谁知道下一步又会搞出什么花样。 花样真的又来了，契丹人是否憨厚真诚什么的不好考证，但办事干脆绝对是真的。只隔了一天，富弼就又被召进辽国皇宫，和耶律宗真见面。辽国皇帝只用一句话，就把他震晕在当场。 “你可以回去了。” ah?富弼摸不着头脑，什么意思？谈判结束了？你们到底要什么，还没谈好呢。还是突然间翻脸，宣布谈判破裂？ “现在我不能回去，结亲，还是增币，我得带回去一个结果。”富弼小心翼翼地反对。 耶律宗真的回答彻底打破了谈判的常规。“你还得再来一次，那时我才会告诉你我的选择。别忘了，带两份誓书。” 富弼的心一点点往下沉，他看着这个年青的辽国皇帝的目光，一定变得非常复杂。这到底是个什么样的人，现在的辽国都有了怎样的变化。当年澶渊之战，辽国是刀枪说话，可现在的谈判技巧，完全超出了宋朝人预先的想像。 这时不作决定，让你带着疑问往回跑，再带着两个不同版本的誓书回来。这一去一回之间，至少要几个月，单是宋朝方面在猜测中忧心如焚地过日子，就足以让辽国人得到好处。何况这期间，辽国完全可以使出各种盘外招，比如向燕云地区增兵，可以和西夏方面会面，不必实际打仗，这些姿态就会吓倒绝大多数的人！ 聪明人有种悲哀，能读得懂各种陷阱，却一点用都没有，只能往里跳。得有实力，不然就会有罗马毁于蛮族，或者后来宋朝被蒙古覆灭的悲剧。 知识和文明，有时只是一朵娇艳动人的玫瑰，它开得越鲜艳动人，就越会招来贪婪的目光，被剪下枝头，变成别人插在瓶中的玩物。 富弼就体验着这种屈辱，不管愿不愿意，他都得乖乖地听话走人，带着模棱两可的意向回国。回到开封之后，他向政事堂述职，总结这次出使，成绩可以说非常巨大。 ——辽国人主动放弃了领土要求，这是原则上的胜利！ 但事情分怎么说，也可以说半点功劳都没有。因为这都是口头上谈妥的事，说声反悔，你连骂人的证据都没有。局势要求宋朝必须单方面加快谈判的速度，尽快把事情落实到文字上去。宋朝人一直都记得，契丹人有多奇怪。他们是强盗，他们真抢东西，但是也守信，观东亚几千年来，连汉族都算上，他们对盟约的遵守程度是最好的。只要在文件上签了字，就万事大吉。 宋朝全面总动员，首相吕夷简亲自出面，向富弼传达了皇帝的最高指示。注意，结亲就不给钱，给钱就不结亲。This is number one. 第二，如果要的是钱，钱的数额有说法。辽国如果能约束李元昊再次臣服，每年在原数30万贯之上，多加20万。如果做不到，只给10万。 根据这样的条件，国书就要预写两份，誓书，由于李元昊可能加入，所以要写成三份。非常慎密，说完之后，吕夷简又问富弼，你还有什么要补充的吗？ 富弼真有，他列出了三条。1，两国交界之处的湖塘不得扩展；2，两国均不得无故增加边境驻兵；3，不得收留逃亡人员。他郑重强调了一下，这是辽国皇帝再三要求，必须要写进誓书里的内容。 no problem.吕夷简一切同意，并且非常反常地放权，他把国书、条款、誓书都交给了富弼亲自草拟。你最了解情况，就由你来独力完成。怎样，这样你能放心了吧？ 富弼放心了，他加班加点写出草稿，上交给政事堂。这时宋朝的办公效率达到了一个空前的高度，政事堂下令，富弼你可以先走一步，你的草搞马上就会由专职人员写成正式文件，然后快马加鞭地追上你，这样才能保证一秒钟都不耽误。我们的口号是争分夺秒，必须成功！ 富弼，你这就跑吧。 富弼立即就冲了出去，要说那可真是快，可能是在辽国骑马骑出成绩了，他一口气跑到了武强县，开封城里的快马才追上来，把一个超级包裹交给了他。 里面是
