Dutingyi was the residence of the Liao Dynasty’s mission.
While enjoying breakfast, Yelu Guanyinnu couldn't help but feel very happy, thinking about Empress Dowager Liu's face after hearing the news yesterday.
I'm afraid Cao Bin is in trouble now, right?
Not to mention whether Queen Mother Liu would agree to her request, as long as Cao Bin was involved with his daughter, he would probably be suspected by Emperor Song.
As a result, the relationship between monarch and minister, and the relationship between husband and wife may cause Cao Bin to be in trouble.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be secretly proud of her handiwork.
This was the first time she had the upper hand since they officially fought against Cao Bin.
What she didn't know was that Queen Mother Liu's expression suddenly changed, not because she suspected Cao Bin, but because her daughter was also a victim...
When Yelu Guanyinnu was thinking about tomorrow's negotiations, Yelu Yi hurried in and reported:
"Princess, there are rebel forces from the Song Kingdom contacting us."
Yelu Guanyin Nu heard this, and immediately became energetic and asked hurriedly:
"Are they reliable? How strong are they?"
Yeluyi said quickly:
"She should be reliable. She is a Manichaean saint from the southern part of the Song Dynasty."
"Our spies have discovered Yi Lian Half Claw, and it is said that it is quite powerful."
Yelu Guanyinnu pondered for a moment and said:
"Contact her and ask her to come see me in person."
"In addition, we need to investigate carefully to confirm her identity."
Yeluyi quickly nodded in agreement.
This is an excellent opportunity. As long as the Manichaeans can be incited to rebel and create momentum, the Song Dynasty will definitely be distressed, create favorable conditions for negotiations, and weaken the Song Dynasty.
At the same time, the two of them didn't feel it was a pity secretly.
If they could contact the Manichaeans last year and let them attack the Liao Kingdom from the north to the south, they might be able to defeat the Song Dynasty.
It's a pity that the opportunity was missed, and the Liao Kingdom no longer had the confidence to send troops again, so now it can only take advantage of it.
The Liao Kingdom had many spies in the north of the Song Dynasty, but the south was a little out of reach.
In addition, Fang La and others kept their activities secret in order to avoid the government, so it was normal that they could not get detailed information in time...
On the second day of formal negotiations, Yelu Guanyinnu did not show up, so Yelu Yi was asked to delay the negotiations first.
Seeing this, Cao Bin left directly and went home to accompany his wife and concubines. Only Gong Liangchen and Yeluyi were left staring at each other.
Yeluyi knew the reason first and was not anxious or impatient, but Gong Liangchen was anxious and resentful, feeling that he had been greatly slighted.
It is not easy for him to take some credit. If this continues and the negotiations fail to produce results, it is hard to say whether Cao Bin will be punished. He will definitely not get better.
Gong Liangchen also knew in his heart that he had no serious background and had a criminal record, so he managed to recover through the relationship with Concubine Pan.
If he returns without success this time, he is likely to become a veritable waste.
Three days passed quickly, and Gong Liangchen was angry, his mouth was full of bubbles, and he wanted to bring Yelu Guanyinnu and Cao Bin out for negotiation...
But he didn't know that while the negotiations seemed to be making no progress, the undercurrent was already raging.
Since Fang Jinzhi contacted the Liao envoy, he soon met Yelu Guanyinnu.
Her identity was genuine, and the Liao spies could not find any flaws. Her detention by Cao Bin was also easy to explain, and many people knew the process.
Therefore, it was easy to win the trust of the other party and negotiate cooperation matters.
Yelu Guanyinnu spent a lot of money this time and promised to give Manichaeism horses, armor, bows and crossbows worth 500,000 yuan and other items, which would be transported by sea.
"Princess, is it too much to spend so much..."
After Yeluyi knew these conditions first, he was very worried:
Five hundred thousand dollars was nothing to the Song Dynasty in previous years, but to the Liao Kingdom, it was a huge sum of money.
What's more, after the war failed last year, the Liao Kingdom was already so poor that it was eating dirt, so it was eager to negotiate and ask for the annual coins.
Of course, the Song Dynasty is not having a good time this year, and the imperial court has even issued official documents to various places, planning to increase the summer tax by 10%.
Especially Southeast Sixth Road, the entire population of more than one million in Bianjing needs to be supported by them, and the food supply is already quite heavy.
Now that taxes are being raised again, it has aroused dissatisfaction among the people, so Fang La is ready to take action.
Yelv Guanyin Nu Wushu said:
"It doesn't matter, the more trouble they cause, the better it is for us."
After speaking, she sneered and said:
"At that time, the money will still come from the Song Dynasty!"
Yeluyi smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid your Majesty won't agree, and he won't be able to mobilize so many supplies at the same time."
Yelu Guanyinnu waved his hands and said:
"Don't worry, I will buy it from various tribes with my own money. After the Song Dynasty pays the compensation, I will pay it back to me."
Yeluyi was surprised and asked: "How can the princess be so rich?"
Hearing this, Yelu Guanyinnu glanced at him with a cold face and said:
"Do you want me to tell you how much private money the Queen Mother has?"
Yeluyi heard the words first and immediately didn't dare to ask any more questions, but he had already figured out the clue.
The eldest princess may be planning to misappropriate Queen Mother Xiao’s personal assets...
So he changed the topic and said:
"This matter should not be delayed for too long. Your Majesty is eagerly awaiting the use of the coins."
The cinnabar mole on the forehead of Yelv Guanyin Nu became more and more vivid, and she said with a hint of joy:
"Don't worry, Song Dynasty is in trouble both domestically and internationally, and Cao Bin is also in trouble. They have all fallen into the hands of this palace. Don't worry if he doesn't bow his head."
"In this peace negotiation, Daliao does not need land, but it must be exchanged for money and silk..."
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Yeluyi couldn't help but remind her:
"Princess, Cao Bin is really good at leading troops. I am a little worried about whether this Manichaean cult can succeed."
Yelu Guanyinnu shook his head slightly and said:
"I was negligent in the past and didn't pay attention to his flaws. Now I see Fang Jinzhi and I understand."
"Although Cao Bin can do a lot, he can't change his greed for beauty..."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think of the past in Dingzhou. At that time, Cao Bin seemed to want to keep her, but if her unlucky daughter hadn't stopped her... Thinking of this, her face felt a little weird... ..
"Okay, I have already made plans for this matter. Please step back first."
After Yeluyi left first, she couldn't help but raise her slender, green-white middle finger and command her left and right:
"I want to take a bath...no one is allowed to come in and disturb me."
Qunyufang.
Fang Jinzhi came to Beijing as a Jiangnan oiran and stayed here. After being released by Cao Bin, he returned here.
At this time, the Manichaeans were very excited.
One of the men said excitedly:
"It's so worthwhile to go to Beijing this time. I didn't expect to get the support of the Liao Kingdom. In this way, our teaching will definitely succeed."
The rest of the people also agreed, because the Liao Kingdom not only gave them horses and armor, but also promised to send troops to respond, and even sent generals to help lead the troops.
Pang Qiuxia waved her hand and said:
"Okay, the saint will have a walk with Cao Binxu tomorrow, so don't disturb her."
After everyone heard this, they had no choice but to leave, although their thoughts were still unfinished.
Seeing that only Pang Qiuxia was left, Fang Jinzhi couldn't help but ask:
"Senior sister, do you really want these supplies to be handed over to the Holy Master? With the support of the Liao Kingdom, my father may not be able to accomplish this, right?"
After all, she had only been brainwashed a few times, so she couldn't help but help her biological father when she saw that it was very promising.
Pang Qiuxia immediately became serious and lectured:
"Holy girl, don't forget who planned this!"
"By destroying the Holy Master's plan, do you want Fang Shenggong to fall into eternal hell?"
When Fang Jinzhi heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he quickly shook his head and said:
"Senior Sister, stop talking. Can't Jin Zhi just listen to the Holy Master?"
"But Zheng Biao and others also know about this. If it is revealed to my father, we will not be able to explain it. How about we convert them too."
Pang Qiuxia was a little dumbfounded. Zheng Biao was a disciple of the old Taoist Bao Dao Yi. He was very stubborn and could easily suffer "backlash" if he failed.
But she wouldn't say it out loud, she just said:
"Bai Lian only saves those who are destined, he is not qualified yet."
"Don't worry, Holy Lady, the Holy Master has his own magical means to intercept this batch of supplies quietly..."
