Chapter 383 Persuasion
"By the way, is there anything unusual about Gu Tingwei?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Reply to Your Majesty, the person monitoring Gu Tingwei sent a message that everything is fine with Gu Tingwei." Yin Hanzhang said.
"Calculating the time, the Song Dynasty should arrive soon. We will know if there are any problems by then." Zhao Xing murmured.
"If it is found that Wensheng has recently purchased medicinal materials to calm the nerves, send someone to try to contact her secretly to see if you can use her for your own use." Zhao Xing said.
"Yes!" Yin Hanzhang responded.
“Go!”
Zhao Xing waved his hand, sent Yin Hanzhang away, and then rummaged through the tacks on the desk.
After a while, Zhao Xing found a letter, which was about the appointment application for the new Jinshi conferment.
Among them, Wen Yanjing’s appointment was the Ministry of Civil Affairs Yuan Wai Lang.
Zhao Xing pondered for a while, then picked up his pen and prepared to cross out Wen Yanjing's name.
He didn’t know if there was any problem with Wen Yanjing’s appointment, but since the man in the dark promised Mo Lan to help Wen Yanjing enter the Ministry of Personnel, as long as Wen Yanjing could not enter the Ministry of Personnel, Mo Lan would definitely Thought I had been deceived.
By then, it will be easy for Yin Hanzhang to win over Mo Lan.
But when he was about to put pen to paper, Zhao Xing stopped again.
Doing this will indeed make Mo Lan feel cheated, but it will also arouse the suspicion of the people behind the scenes.
Moreover, they failed to fulfill their promise to Mo Lan. While Mo Lan was suspicious of them, they might not believe Mo Lan.
In this case, it is possible to alert the enemy, and Mo Lan will have no value.
Zhao Xing thought for a while, changed to a red pen, and wrote a correct word on this tie!

“Wait!”
Liang Yimi stopped the chamberlain who was leading the way and said, "This shouldn't be the way out of the palace, right?"
Yesterday Han Zhang went to Honglu Temple and told Liang Yimi about the arrangements for meeting Li Yunchu.
Liang Yimi was allowed to enter the palace today and met Li Yunchu.
Li Yunchu disliked the Liang family very much. After meeting Liang Yimi, he had a brief chat and left.
When Liang Yi met Li Yunchu, on the one hand, he was completing the task assigned by Li Liangzuo, and on the other hand, he also wanted to find an opportunity to meet Zhao Xing alone.
But yesterday, Lu Shanchang had already suspected him, and Han Zhang went over and asked to talk to him alone.
After thinking about it carefully, Liang Yimi realized that he had been plotted.
He has given up the idea of meeting Zhao Xing alone.
What if Zhao Xing summons the Xixia envoy next time and says that he had a pleasant conversation with him, he will be in big trouble.
Therefore, after meeting Li Yunchu, Liang Yimi did not ask to meet Zhao Xing.
But as he walked, he noticed something was wrong.
Although the Imperial Palace of the Song Dynasty was so big that Liang Yimi couldn't remember the way he came, he could still tell the direction of leaving the palace.
At this time, the direction led by the chamberlain leading the way was not the direction of leaving the palace at all.
"Back to your envoy, Your Majesty said that he wants to see your envoy." The chamberlain who led the way bowed.
"Excuse me, please report back to Emperor Song. I am the envoy of Xia State. It is unreasonable to meet Emperor Xia alone!" Liang Yimi said.
The servant leading the way didn't say anything when he heard this, and just looked at Liang Yimi with a smile.
"Lead the way!" Liang Yimi said with a sigh.
He knew that he had no choice at this time and could not force his way out of the palace.
"Your Majesty, please come this way!" the chamberlain leading the way said sideways.
He led Liang Yimi all the way to the outside of Longtu Pavilion, and after a few words with the servants outside the palace, Liang Yimi was led into the palace by the eunuch. Liang Yimi walked into the hall with complicated thoughts and saw Zhao Xing, who was at the head, looking at him with a smile.
“The foreign minister pays homage to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!” Liang Yimi bowed and saluted.
"No courtesy, please sit down!"
"Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
Zhao Xing waited for Liang Yimi to sit down, and asked the palace maid to give Liang Yimi a gift. Tea was served.
"I wonder why His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty summoned foreign ministers?" Liang Yimi asked.
"Haha."
Zhao Xing chuckled and said, "I want to talk to you about cooperation?"
"To discuss cooperation between the two countries, It should be discussed in the main hall, with all the civil and military officials and our Xia envoys present together. Even though the foreign minister is the envoy, there is no reason to talk and cooperate with the Emperor of the Song Dynasty alone." Liang Yimi shook his head.
"Why do you pretend to be confused while pretending to understand? Didn't my cooperation with you last time go well?" Zhao Xing said with a smile.
"When did the foreign minister cooperate with His Majesty?"
"The last time you were on a mission to the Song Dynasty, when you met me, you deliberately asked me for my maid in order to anger me and not want me to agree. Are you going to send troops to attack Liao together with Xia? "
"The foreign minister does not understand what your Majesty means."
< br>"No, you understand!"
Zhao Xing smiled and said: "Your Liang family seems to have all the power in Xixia, but in fact it is a burning fire, full of dangers. Because your Liang family has no military power, Once Emperor Xia is gone in the future, will those Xixia nobles let you Liang family go?"
"Your Majesty wants to use this method to sow discord. Isn't it a little too childish?" Liang Yimi said disdainfully.
"You know whether you are sowing discord or not. As far as I know, this time Xixia sent troops to the plateau, there were some newly promoted Han generals in the army. I am afraid that many of these people are from your Liang Dynasty.
At this time, the plateau is at your fingertips, and when the time comes, these people will be rewarded based on their merits. Promotion.
So the Liang family doesn’t want to retreat at this time.”
“What your Majesty said is really better than those in the market, but even if it is what your Majesty thought. If the Liang family doesn't want to retreat, then I should stop the Song Dynasty from increasing its troops in Hehuang," Liang Yimi said with a smile.
"Because your father knows that the Song Dynasty will not give up the reinforcement of troops just because Xixia's envoys threaten. For the Song Dynasty, it would not be a loss if it can force Xixia to withdraw its troops from the plateau." Zhao Xing said lightly.
A hint of surprise flashed in Liang Yimi's eyes when he heard this.
What Zhao Xing said was almost the same as what his father said before leaving.
Liang Guangchuan said that the Song Dynasty would not retreat because of Xixia’s envoys.
After all, Zhao Xing is young and vigorous, and he has just ascended the throne. If he gives up his plot in Hehuang just because of this, where will Zhao Xing's face go?
If Xixia wanted to prevent the Song Dynasty from occupying Hehuang, they had to withdraw their troops from the plateau.
For the Song Dynasty, even if it could not occupy Hehuang and force Xixia to retreat, it would still be profitable.
After Liang Yi arrived in the Song Dynasty, his words were not fierce and he gave up easily, just to delay time.
What he delayed was not the time of the Song Dynasty, but the time when Emperor Li Liangzuo of Xixia ordered to withdraw from the plateau.
As long as Xixia can be delayed until it completely occupies the plateau, Xixia can withdraw some of its troops.
Seeing Liang Yimi's silence, Zhao Xing continued: "The Liang family wants to control a certain amount of military power in Xixia, while the Song Dynasty wants to annex Hehuang. This is not a contradiction. I think we can cooperate. What do you think?"
"How do you want to cooperate, Your Majesty?" Liang Yimi asked.
Zhao Xing laughed when he heard this and said: "You, the Liang family, will help me try our best to hold back Emperor Xia and prevent him from sending troops to intervene in Hehuang. In the future, the Song Dynasty can cooperate with your people in acting and let them make meritorious deeds!"< br>
"Does your Majesty think that I am a fool? Let's not talk about whether it can be delayed. Even if it is delayed, your Majesty will break your promise and get rich in the future. What can our Liang family do to your Majesty?" Liang Yimi sneered.
