After reading the official documents in his hand, Xu Ping handed them to Du Yan next to him, and said, "The Khitan used the crown prince Chongyuan as the left-behind Nanjing and was also the Grand Marshal of the World, and did not sentence the affairs of the North and South Privy Council."

After reading the priests, Ding Du said: "Chongyuan's status in the Khitan is beyond comparison. He is the only one who stays in Nanjing, so he is really aware of the attack on Youzhou in front of the mountain. Although there is a king and Taiwei Zhenxiongzhou, the generals in Hebei still clamor for the northern expedition from time to time, and the Khitans must have heard of it."

Although Wang Deyong had never led his troops to fight a major battle, his reputation in the Khitan was very high and his reputation among the imperial guards was also high. He was in charge of Xiongzhou and Baozhou front line, and he was the first to defend against the Khitans. As a result, the Song army is now in a high fighting spirit and has to turn the task back.

Ming Hao was silent for a while before saying, "Yelu Chongyuan was defeated by his husband in Fengzhou and asked him to go to Youzhou. I am afraid that the Khitans did not go to war. The husband followed the emperor to go on a northern tour and the two countries were fighting. Can the Khitans still expect Yelu Chongyuan to avenge his previous shame?"

A few years ago in Fengzhou, Yelu Chongyuan faced Xu Ping, but it turned out to be very embarrassed. This time, Xu Ping followed Zhao Zhen to tour the north. Once the two countries really fought, the Song army would definitely be Xu Ping on the front line. Ming Hao had been in the army for many years, and after several major wars, he didn't believe that Yelu Zong was so confused, so he sent Yelu Chongyuan to fight Xu Ping.

Xu Ping smiled and said, "The signing is reasonable. This time, Chongyuan officially went to the North and South Privy Council and only appointed the Grand Marshal of the World as the one who stayed in Nanjing. The meaning is very clear. Let's take a few days to see if the Khitan prince Yelu Hongji sentenced the North and South Privy Council, then Yelu Chongyuan was sent to Youzhou this time, but the Khitan Kingdom mainly used his son as the crown prince."

Everyone agreed. Yelu Zongzhen was the son who took over the throne, but at the ceremony, he ascended the throne with the Chai Ce ceremony. The Khitan did not formally form a system of father-death and son-death succession. Xiao Nojin wanted to abolish Yelu Zongzhen and establish Chongyuan. Chongyuan took the initiative to inform Zongzhen that after quelling the rebellion of the empress dowager, Yelu Zongzhen promised Chongyuan that he would succeed him after his death and made him the crown prince and the official crown prince of the Khitan. Now Yelu Zongzhen is in full swing in the spring and autumn, and his son Yelu Hongji, the king of Yan, is already eleven years old. Yelu Zongzhen is afraid that he will regret it.

The Khitan and the Song Dynasty were in opposition to each other, and the politics of the two sides influenced each other. There were many imitations in the system. Like Zhao Zhen, Yelu Zongzhen ascended the throne in childhood and was in the empress dowager. Later, different results were very stimulating to Yelu Zongzhen and deliberately learning from the Song Dynasty in system. As long as there was no inappropriate response, there would be no large-scale war between the two countries. Yelu Zongzhen should be very clear about this. He formally sent Lu Chongyuan to Youzhou and went to the Privy Council to judge the affairs of the Privy Council, and more to arrange for the inheritance of the throne.

What Yelu Zongzhen does now is to imitate Song Taizong decades ago, repent of his brother's promise and arrange for his son to inherit the throne in the future. Taking advantage of the tense border situation and kicking Yelu Chongyuan out of the royal court is an important step.

Last year, there was no oath on the Fengzhou front line. This year, the two sides confronted each other at the border to compete for national strength, and then talked. As long as the border military strength is roughly balanced, neither side will risk starting a war. It is reasonable for Yelu Zongzhen to take the opportunity to do something else. It is possible to determine the order in which the father died and the son passed on the throne. The Khitan suffered a little loss, which was acceptable.

After discussing for a while, they all felt that the Khitan's intention might be like this, and the two countries were not so easy to fight.

It is one thing to judge that you will not fight, but it is another thing to prepare for war seriously. If you know not to fight, everything will be carried out according to the fight, because the premise of not fighting is that you are ready for the war. Let your guard down, and wars that would not have happened may actually happen. This is the premise for peace between the two sides.

The public official came in to salute: "My husband, my servant, the servant, and the Khitan sent him to seek a visit outside the door."

"Invite them in." The public officials went out, and Xu Ping said to the ministers, "It has been really not easy for Mr. Liu to travel between the two countries in recent years. I hope that the Khitan monarch and minister can figure it out this time and make a promise."

Several prime ministers laughed together. Zhao Zhen informed the Khitan according to the rules. After discussing with the Khitan, he sent Liu Liufu again to Daming Mansion in the name of visiting Zhenzhen of the Northern Tour. It was etiquette to visit him, but Liu Liufu's real purpose was actually a negotiation of oath, and everyone understands this.

After a while, Fu Bi accompanied Liu Liufu into the yamen office and greeted the minister.

Xu Ping ordered the seat to be set up and said to Liu Liufu: "The bachelor has worked hard all the way, thank you for your hard work."

"The Cool Office has passed, and there is no rain or snow all the way, so it is not considered hard work. I met my husband at Qingzuka last year, and it was the time for the cold, and it was hard work. It was just a pity that there was no agreement on the pledge for many days."

Xu Ping ordered the tea and said to Liu Liufu: "How can we be hasty in the national affairs? There was no agreement last time, let's talk about it slowly."

After asking about the situation on the road, Xu Ping no longer took a turn and said to Liu Liufu: "The bachelor is here, can he continue to discuss the oath?"

Liu Liufu said: "The promise is uncertain for a day, and the border will not be peaceful for a day. This is the time to be busy with farming. When I came south, I saw farmers busy dealing with the work and not repairing farming. Farming is the foundation of the world, and governing the country, how can we ignore it?"

Xu Ping smiled and said nothing. Liu Liufu said that the Khitan territory and the Song Dynasty did not delay the agricultural work. The food and grass of the Hebei imperial guards were accumulated over the past few years. The short-distance transportation was caused by the Xiang army and the imperial guards themselves, and even the Volunteer and the archers were useless. In addition, because the Yellow River was diverted, the disaster was severely affected to the east of Daming Prefecture and the population was outflowing, so how many agricultural work was there?

The victims of Hebei Road were resettled nearby on Jingdong Road. The superior households there moved one to five houses according to the households and other households to allow the victims to live in. Now the floods are basically eliminated, and the victims are returning one after another, and the reorganization of their homes is not enough to take care of farm work.

The official arrangement is unified, and residents provide empty houses to help the victims according to their respective abilities. Xu Ping is very satisfied with this. It is not easy to do this successfully. Most of the vacant houses in the city are rented out, and there is a rent of 6 or 7 cents a day. Although there are many empty houses in the countryside, more debris are placed. It is provided to the victims for free. The official control is not enough. If the control is enough, it will be full of complaints. It can help the victims in Hebei to make a smooth transition. It can be seen that the governance of Jingdong Road is at least qualified. Just this small thing, there are not many historical periods that can be achieved.

Seeing that Xu Ping did not respond, Liu Liufu himself felt it was meaningless and changed the topic: "The border between the two countries is more than ten thousand miles long. If there is no oath to restrain the border, the conflicts on the border will continue day by day, and your country will be in trouble, and your country will be in trouble."

Xu Ping said: "Since I was in Qingzhong last year, I have told the scholars about the meaning of this dynasty. It is best to make a promise. Your country insists on refusing to do it, and you must try it. If you have tried it, you still don't allow it."

"My public misunderstood that my country really wants to make a vow. It's just that you want to cancel the annual monies."

"What annual monies! Silver and silk have been made clear, and it is the annual fee to help you the Queen Mother. Now your empress dowager has been imprisoned for rebellion, so there is no silver and silk! There is no need to mention this matter! The two countries have different relationships, and they can choose places to trade at the border. You can also exchange silver and silk for horses. It is impossible to get money for nothing!"

Liu Liufu was stunned for a moment. This time, Xu Ping was no longer as tactful as last time, and directly refused the possibility of the difficult annual monies. He understood in his heart that this was the bottom line of the Song Dynasty. If he vowed to establish a promise, the Khitan would never get money for free every year. But the princes and nobles of the Khitan did not give up. Hundreds of thousands of money for every year were gone, how could they be willing to do so?
