Fragrance Stealer

As for Li Kexiu's power, as long as it does not fall into the hands of any power in the Jin, Qing and Mongols, the Southern Song Dynasty can actually accept it.

Although there are already 1 consents in his heart, how can an old fox like Han Yuzhou let go of his mouth so easily, and deliberately snorted: This time, the old man not only failed to achieve an inch of success, but also lost troops, and returned to Lin'an in despair. How could people like Jia Shixian miss such a good opportunity at that time? Once they criticize this trip to Yangzhou, my resignation may become a foregone conclusion.Rather than falling into that bleak ending, it would be better to die for the country in Yangzhou and leave behind the name

Hearing Han Yuzhou's impassioned statement, Song Qingshu secretly laughed. How could he be deceived by these superficial words now? appetite:

Prime Minister Han has worried too much. I have a way to make Prime Minister Han return to the Southern Song Dynasty in style. Not only will he not be criticized by his political opponents, but he will also be in the limelight for a while and become a hero of the country.

Han Yuzhou was very curious, but he still looked at him suspiciously: What can you do?

Song Qingshu didn't answer directly, but instead asked rhetorically: If you dare to ask Prime Minister Han, who is more important in Jianghuai than in Sichuan?

Naturally, Sichuan Han Yuzhou blurted out that Sichuan, the land of abundance, could provide nearly one-third of the taxes of the Southern Song Dynasty court at the beginning. Similarly, Sichuan was also the western barrier of the Southern Song Dynasty court. When Sichuan was captured by Mongolia, the entire Southern Song court was shaken. Finally, the power of the whole country was used. Coupled with the emergence of generals such as Yu Jie and Wang Jian, they barely blocked the Mongolian soldiers on the front line of Diaoyu City.

However, without Sichuan, the Southern Song Dynasty lost its western barrier. Mongolia could not only advance eastward, but also bypass Guizhou to approach the hinterland of the two lakes, and even use Dali to attack the rear areas of Guangdong and Guangxi. Fortification consumes huge manpower and material resources, and there is still a sword of Damocles hanging above the head, making the Southern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers restless.

If Sichuan is in hand, the Southern Song Dynasty will be able to retreat the defense line to Jiange Yangping Pass. Sichuan has always been easy to defend and difficult to attack. At that time, the pressure on the Southern Song Dynasty will be greatly reduced. The stretched finances of the Southern Song Dynasty eased.

What if I could persuade Mongolia to return Sichuan to you? Song Qingshu smiled enigmatically.

How is this possible? Han Yuzhou stood up with a face of shock, noticing that Song Qingshu didn't seem to be joking, and immediately reacted, as long as your Excellency can facilitate this matter, I guarantee that the court will recognize the rights and interests of the Jinsnake Camp in the Jianghuai land, and the two parties can still sign a contract Non-aggression agreement, and at the same time, I will invite the emperor to formally confer your honor as the king of Qi

Towards the end of the month, the monthly ticket ranks 20th, and is in a state of being exploded at any time. I have lingering fears about the tragedy of being overtaken by someone behind in the last 20 minutes after ranking 5th last time.

I really don’t want to repeat the same mistakes, so the monk here has the audacity to ask for a monthly pass. I will update at least 7 chapters today and tomorrow to repay everyone

Chapter 1102 Disaster on Xiao Qiang

The temptation of Sichuan is really too great, Han Yuzhou believes that as long as he can get Sichuan, the imperial court will definitely not be stingy with this.

Song Qing's writing showed a strange color, and other conditions were expected, but King Qi was really an unexpected surprise.Although he is now known as the Golden Snake King, in fact everyone in the world knows that this is just the title of King of the Mountain, and no one will really take it seriously.

But having the title of King Qi is quite different. You must know that in the Chinese royal system, the one-character king is much more noble than the two-character king, and among the one-character kings, the four titles of Qin, Jin, Qi and Chu are generally the most honorable, while the Song Dynasty Due to historical reasons, the four kings of Song, Zhao, Liang and Shou would never be granted to anyone, so King Qi is definitely the most honorable king.

The reason why it is Qi and not Qin is mainly because the place Song Qingshu controls now is Jianghuai, Shandong, which is close to the territory of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period, so King Qi is more suitable.

In this world, righteousness is more important than anything else. With the title of King Qi, Song Qingshu has a reputation of righteousness, and he is no longer a bandit leader. It is so much more convenient to attract talents among the Han people.

As for accepting the edict of the Song Dynasty, whether people will be regarded as a courtier of the Song Dynasty is not something that needs to be considered at this stage. As long as one's power is strong enough in the future, it is normal for the host and guest to change positions.

On the contrary, accepting the imperial seal of the Song Dynasty is likely to cause hostility from the Qing, Jin, and Mongols, which needs to be considered.However, the Qing and Jin countries are now under their own control, and Mongolia has drawn up relations because of Zhao Min, so the problem that was originally a headache has disappeared.

Well, one word is for sure Song Qingshu said in a deep voice.

Then he called Wang Baobao in, the three of them bargained, and finally reached a final agreement:

Mongolia released Han Tuozhou and his party, and returned them to Sichuan at the same time;

The Song Dynasty completely abandoned the suzerain state of Jin, and instead paid tribute to Mongolia as a brother, and at the same time provided the Golden Snake Camp with a year's military salary;

Mongolia and Song recognized the legitimate rights and interests of the Golden Snake Camp to the Jianghuai area, and named Song Qingshu the king of Qi. At the same time, the three parties signed a non-aggression agreement.

The specific details still require all parties to send official envoys to sign the letter of credence, but with this agreement, the rest is just a formality.

After signing the contract, all three parties are happy:

Mongolia had previously decided to give up Sichuan's shrinking power, and at the same time let the Southern Song Dynasty border on the century-old enemy Xixia again, consuming the national power of both sides.

The Southern Song Dynasty regained the important land of Sichuan, paid tribute to Mongolia and provided the Golden Snake Camp for one year. Compared with the huge military expenditures before, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket. It's just Mongolia, and the relationship between uncle and nephew has been changed to that of brothers. The emperor must be very happy.

We must know that the reason why so many emperors in the Southern Song Dynasty later became the Supreme Emperor in history was not because they were so enlightened and did not love power, but because the agreement with the uncle and nephew of the Kingdom of Jin to be changed to uncle and nephew was really cheating.

You must know that there is such a relationship. The emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty had to call the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin as uncle in official letters of credence, and greeted him cordially during festivals or birthdays. It's okay to say that the emperor of the Jin Kingdom was old, but in history, several emperors of the Jin Kingdom were just young people when they came to the throne, and the emperors who were dozens of years old in the Southern Song Dynasty called them uncles, no matter how thick they were. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I simply passed on the throne to my son, and let my son call someone else's uncle, while I lived a happy life.

As for Song Qingshu's harvest, it is also obvious. In short, this is a very satisfactory ending for all three parties.

However, all three parties are satisfied, so there must be people who are dissatisfied. Wang Baobao suddenly thought of something, and looked out of the house with a grinning grin: "Where are those people from the Songshan Sect? Why don't we join hands to destroy them? What do you think?"

In the previous fierce battle with the Songshan faction, the Ruyang Palace suffered heavy losses. Almost half of Wang Baobao's masters were killed or injured. Before that, the situation forced him to reconcile with him to deal with the Southern Song Dynasty. Back to the previous scene.

Agreed, Han Yuzhou replied in a cold voice, after all, the Songshan faction was a knife sent by Jia Sidao. Although he didn't know what the relationship between the two parties was, how could he give up the opportunity to cut off one of Jia Sidao's minions.

I'm fine here.Song Qingshu smiled slightly, but he sighed in his heart. Before that, the Songshan faction had already withdrawn.

It turned out that Zuo Lengchan was also a man of extraordinary intelligence. When he saw Song Qingshu having secret talks with Wang Baobao and Han Tuozhou one after another, and finally the three of them still met together, although he didn't know what the three parties were talking about, his keen intuition made him aware of the imminent danger , immediately led his men to withdraw.

Outside the Ruyang Palace, Su Shidan and others, because they didn't get the master's instruction, no one dared to act rashly. On the contrary, they felt that their departure would greatly reduce the pressure on their side.

Although Song Qingshu detected the actions of Zuo Lengchan and the others through the air mechanism, after comprehensive consideration, he still pretended not to know, because he kept the power of the Songshan faction to be of great use in the future.

When Wang Baobao went out and found that everyone from the Songshan School had gone to the building, he was so angry that he jumped up and down. Han Tuozhou also had a gloomy face, and only Song Qingshu smiled.

Because an agreement was reached, Wang Baobao let Han Tongzhou go free, and Su Shidan and his party hurriedly surrounded him to greet them. Looking at this group of loyal subordinates, Han Tongzhou's complexion gradually improved.

At this time, suddenly a group of people came roaring with open fire, and the leader was Li Kexiu.

I heard that there were thieves attacking Yuqing Temple. Are you all right? After seeing the situation clearly, Li Kexiu is very well-informed, so I can't help but feel a little confused. stand together.

The admiral came just in time.Wang Baobao couldn't help sarcasm, this Yangzhou is the territory of the other party, yet he has been slow to show up for such a big movement of the Songshan faction, making it clear that he wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.

Han Tuozhou didn't have a good impression of him either. The two sides had already talked about it before, but he and his party were captured by the Mongols. Quietly surrendered to the Golden Snake Camp. In his heart, Li Kexiu was marked with double-decker, so naturally he would not give him a good face.

Song Qingshu naturally didn't want to see this future father-in-law and ally continue to be embarrassed, so he went over and explained what happened just now. Hearing the tripartite agreement reached between him and the Mongolian Southern Song Dynasty, Li Kexiu's expression changed drastically.

However, he quickly covered up the past, and after a haha, he warmly invited the three parties to live in his mansion temporarily. Han Yuzhou and his party were imprisoned for a long time, and they really needed a comfortable environment to freshen up; It is also necessary to find a safe place to rest; Song Qingshu still needs to discuss more cooperation details with Li Kexiu, so the three parties accepted his invitation unanimously.

The three parties had just reached an agreement and were in the honeymoon period. They talked happily along the way, but they didn't notice Li Kexiu's flickering eyes.

Towards the end of the month, the monthly ticket ranks 20th, and is in a state of being exploded at any time. I have lingering fears about the tragedy of being overtaken by someone behind in the last 20 minutes after ranking 5th last time.

I really don’t want to repeat the same mistakes, so the monk here has the audacity to ask for a monthly pass. I will update at least 7 chapters today and tomorrow to repay everyone

Chapter 1103

Because the envoys of the Jin and Qing Dynasties retreated, and Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty now reached a settlement, Li Kexiu naturally did not have to hide in the barracks as before, but chose to bring everyone back to his admiral's mansion.

Li Kexiu worked his way up and down and arranged the people from the Ruyang Prince's Mansion in the East Court. At the same time, he summoned the best doctors in Yangzhou City to treat their injuries late at night, and even brought out all kinds of panacea from the mansion. Wang Baobao was very satisfied with his attitude. , his face suddenly eased a bit.

Han Yuzhou and his party were arranged by him in the West Courtyard. Except for Lu Guanying and other low-ranking officials who were tortured at the beginning, the Mongols did not embarrass people with higher positions. After all, Wang Baobao did not want to completely tear himself apart with the Southern Song Dynasty. .

The group of them were mostly imprisoned for too long, which made their bodies a little dirty. Then Li Kexiu arranged for a maid to prepare hot water and aromatherapy for you to bathe and change clothes, which made Han Tuozhou and his group very satisfied.

Song Qingshu originally planned to discuss some merger matters with Li Kexiu, but seeing that he was busy, it was not good to go to him at this time, thinking that it was getting late now, as the saying goes, Japan will be long, so he was not in a hurry, so he arranged for Li Kexiu. I lived in a separate and secluded courtyard.

It's a pity that Cheng Yaojia has a tender face and doesn't want to come to accompany me. It's really empty, lonely and cold.Lying on the bed, Song Qingshu sighed helplessly.Before that, he transmitted voice several times and gave Cheng Yaojia a wink to let her come over quietly, but Cheng Yaojia always blushed and shook his head and refused.
