519. Two conditions

This idea came up, which made Pu Shougeng more determined to join Song. Of course, the premise was that Song and Yuan dynasties could reach peace talks.

So he hoped that peace talks could be reached even more eagerly.

After drinking the wine in the glass with his neck on his neck, Pu Shougeng said to Zhao Dongting: "You dare to ask the emperor, what do you need to do with my emperor?"

Zhao Dongting chuckled again, as if the unhappiness just now had never happened, and said, "I have sent envoys to Dadu before. Your emperor should know what I want. Apart from this condition, I don't want to marry you, Princess Mingzhu of the Yuan Dynasty. As long as these two points can be reached, I will be able to leave for five years."

Although Zhao Dongting was eager to regain the old land of Lin'an, he also understood that the current Song Dynasty court was overwhelmed.

I also need time to develop the economy and people's livelihood. Otherwise, even if I can defeat the Yuan Dynasty, the whole world will be full of holes in the end.

More importantly, if we continue to fight like this, it is really unlikely that we will persevere until the Yuan Dynasty is destroyed.

Soldiers fight on the front line, but they need a steady supply of food and money.

Pu Shougeng was slightly stunned.

He didn't know that Zhao Dongting sent envoys to Dadu to ask Kublai Khan to release Li Xiushu.

Since Zhao Dongting has not made any clear statement, he naturally doesn't ask much.

After silence, Pu Shougeng said, "When I return to Fuzhou, I will send a message to Dadu and ask the emperor for instructions, but..."

He wanted to speak but stopped.

Zhao Dongting said: "Mr. Pu has something to say."

Pu Shougen nodded and said, "It's just that before the emperor made a decision, I wonder if our two armies can maintain a truce?"

The last thing he wanted to see was that Fujian was poisoned by the war.

"certainly."

Zhao Dongting knew Pu Shougeng’s thoughts and smiled and said, “This Fujian Road will sooner or later be my Song Dynasty. I don’t want to see the people affected by war.”

Pu Shougeng was overjoyed, "So, thank you, the emperor."

Zhao Dongting nodded gently, "Mr. Pu, don't forget to tell your emperor that I will not give in to these two conditions. Of course, Fujian Road must also be given up to us."

"I must remember."

Pu Shougen nodded in agreement.

Afterwards, there was no more peace talks in the lobby, just drinking.

Pu Shougeng was an outsider. He didn't stay for a long time and then he said goodbye and left tactfully. Before leaving, the tall and thin men and short and fat men couldn't help but look at Hong Wutian and others with a strong look of fear.

After they left, the banquet in the lobby did not last long.

Everyone was full of food and food, satisfied, and after leaving Zhao Dongting, they left in groups, holding hands and shoulder to shoulder.

In the lobby, there were only Wen Tianxiang, Ren Wei, Zhao Da, Zhao Hu, Hong Wutian and others.

Compared with the She generals, they are of course Zhao Dongting’s confidants.

"Your Majesty, have you sent an envoy to Dadu?"

After the She generals left the lobby, Wen Tianxiang couldn't help but ask Zhao Dongting.

Because this was a secret letter from Zhao Dongting in Liuxian Town at the foot of Longhu Mountain, so he didn't even know about it. I'm afraid that only a few people in the court knew about it.

"Um."

Of course, Zhao Dongting would not hide it from Wen Tianxiang, saying, "I sent an envoy to Dadu to exchange for Princess Mingzhu for Li Xiushu, who is Li Wangyuan's sister."

Wen Tianxiang was slightly stunned, "Why didn't Emperor Yuan talk about this during the peace talks?"

He knew about the agreement between Zhao Dongting and Li Wangyuan. Zhao Dongting told him about this.

Zhao Dongting smiled and said, "What else can you do? Of course, you can't bear to leave the land of Xixia. Li Wangyuan attaches great importance to this sister. If Li Xiushu is left in Dadu, the Yuan Dynasty will always restrain Li Wangyuan, making him dare not do too much. If Li Xiushu is released, the Yuan Dynasty will be afraid that he will really not have much control over the land of Xixia. Kublai Khan is really a courageous person. He would rather give up Fujian than let go of Xixia. However, he thought too well, and would not let Li Xiushu go, and he would still have five years of purity. With this mere Fujian land, he could really think of it."

Zhao Dongting didn't care whether the Yuan Dynasty gave way to Fujian or not. What he cared about was whether he let go of Li Xiushu. This was his original intention and his purpose.

Fujian is located in the old territory of the Southern Song Dynasty, bordering the current Song Dynasty. If you want to get it, you can get it at any time. However, Xixia is located within the current territory of the Yuan Dynasty.

The mutiny of Xixia would become a cancer in the Yuan Dynasty. How could it be compared with Fujian?

Wen Tianxiang nodded slightly and asked again: "Does the emperor think Kublai Khan can agree to your peace agreement this time?"

"It's hard to say."

Zhao Dongting just spit out two words.

Wen Tianxiang said again, "If Kublai Khan agrees, you are really discussing peace with the Yuan Dynasty?"

Zhao Dongting nodded, "You don't have any jokes. If he agrees to my conditions, of course he will discuss peace. Now our Song Dynasty also needs time to rest and recuperate..."

He also sighed quietly in his heart.

It can only be that he traveled to the Southern Song Dynasty too late, and the Southern Song Dynasty was already at its end. If it could be earlier, when the Yuan Dynasty had just attacked the Song Dynasty and became the emperor, Zhao Dongting had absolute confidence and had already ruled the world.

In that case, I don’t know how many people can be saved from water and fire.

Ren Wei, Zhao Da, Zhao Hu and others were all listening.

Hearing Zhao Dongting's words, Zhao Da couldn't help but speak, "Your Majesty, we will be able to take down Lin'an? The disabled old soldiers in Xianglong County..."

Zhao Dongting cared about the old soldiers, so Zhao Da always took those old soldiers to heart.

Before Zhao Da followed Zhao Dongting, they fought with the Yuan army in Leizhou, Xianglong County, and ended up being disabled, but they kept the city of Juzhou. This still made Zhao Da admire him.

Zhao Dongting sighed, "I can't be anxious, I can't be anxious! If we continue to fight, we are afraid that the people will starve to death. In war, there is no need for the people to be important."

Wen Tianxiang and others stopped talking.

They knew that the emperor never gave in to the issue of the people.

...

Pu Shougeng returned to the government office.

In the end, I still couldn't bear to drive away the tall, thin and short and fat people.

He is not Zhao Dongting. He has spent a lot of effort to recruit these two brothers from the Great Yuan realm.

Early the next morning, he left the worshippers with a group of worshippers and rushed to Fuzhou again.

Late at night, he rushed back to Fuzhou, and soon after, a pigeon in the government office rushed into the sky and headed towards the direction of the capital.

Three days have passed.

The carrier pigeon landed in the Dadu Palace.

Immediately, a eunuch took off the secret letter tied to the pigeon's legs and treated it as an emergency military information. After reporting it layer by layer, it was transmitted to the imperial study room at an extremely fast speed.

Kublai Khan was lying on the dragon couch in the imperial study room in a lazy manner, looking casually at the memorial. There were a group of eunuchs and palace maids serving him.

Huang Liangce stood beside him.

The eunuch's report sounded outside the door, "Report to the Emperor, the left secretary of Fuzhou, Pu Shougeng, has a secret letter submitted."

Kublai Khan's eyes were slightly condensed and he sat up.

Huang Liangce walked out of the house naturally, and when he came in again, he held the letter in his hand.

Kublai Khan took the letter, but did not open it. Instead, he asked Huang Liangce as if he was talking to himself, "Eunuch Huang, do you think the Song Dynasty agreed, or did not agree?"

Huang Liangce only said: "The old slave dares not speak nonsense."

Kublai Khan said nothing, and opened his letter to himself.

"snort!"

Then a few seconds later, he snorted coldly.

After a few seconds, the letter was even more slapped on the desk, "Waste! All are waste!"

The eunuchs and palace maids in the imperial study were all kneeling down, as quiet as a cicada, only Huang Liangce was still standing.

After waiting for dozens of seconds, seeing that Kublai Khan's chest was just undulating and stopped talking, Huang Liangce whispered: "Master, will the Song Dynasty not agree to peace talks?"

Kublai Khan's eyes were full of anger, "If it were me, I wouldn't agree! Tens of thousands of people attacked Shaowu, but the Song army burned food and was forced to a dead end."

Huang Liangce's expression also changed slightly.

He always followed Kublai Khan and was trusted by Kublai Khan, so he naturally knew about the things in the army.

The tens of thousands of Yuan army on the west road of Jiangnan were defeated by the Tou Tuo army, which was only a few thousand people?

If this is the case, they can really deserve the word "waste".

But Kublai Khan snorted coldly again and said, "This Emperor Song is ungrateful. I want to give him my beloved pearl as my queen, but he refused! He also said that he would not make any concessions in this condition."

At this time, Kublai Khan undoubtedly got angry again.

When he thought, if you, Emperor Song, would not agree, just do it so seriously?

Could it be that my beloved Princess Mingzhu is so unbearable that it doesn’t catch your eyes?
