Chapter 134
The envoy of Liao Kingdom calmly looked calm and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, your conditions are really too harsh. Although our Liao Dynasty was defeated, there are still 400,000 to fight.
Even if Wu Tian can seize the Sixteen State of Yanyun, it will definitely cost a heavy price.
As for letting the Liao Kingdom come to pay tribute every year and pay tribute every year, it is not impossible!"
"Since it's impossible, then stop talking! Save the guests!"
Emperor Song shook his sleeve, turned around and left.
The envoy of Liao Kingdom was disappointed and felt very angry, but he could only endure it and turn around and leave.
As soon as I left the palace gate, I happened to meet Gao Qiu who came out of the Imperial Hospital.
Gao Qiu once represented the Song Dynasty to serve as an envoy to Liao, and he also knew the envoys of Liao.
"Sir, what's going on with your face?"
Gao Qiu recognized the envoy of Liao Kingdom and smiled and said, "It's nothing. Gao accidentally tripped by the threshold when he was in court and fell."
"So that's the case. It happened that I brought some good medicine from Liao Kingdom. Where can I sit there? How about I give it to you?"
The envoy of the Liao Kingdom smiled.
Emperor Song firmly rejected his request, and the Liao Kingdom was in danger.
He could only change his direction, start with Gao Qiu, and persuade Emperor Song.
Gao Qiu pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Since the messenger is so kind, Gao Qiu will bother you."
The envoy of the Liao Kingdom and Gao Qiu sat in a sedan chair and entered the inn on the east side of the city.
When he entered the post station, Gao Qiu was waiting in the hall. The Liao envoy entered the bedroom and soon came out with a box.
"Mr. Gao, all these medicines are in the box, look."
The envoy of the Liao Kingdom placed the box on the table.
Gao Qiu opened it and saw two small iron boxes and a stack of silver notes inside the box.
"this……"
"Mr. Gao, the silver notes in this box are a million taels, which is the little intention of this messenger. Please be sure to accept them by Lord Gao."
The envoy of Liao Kingdom smiled slightly.
Gao Qiu was surprised. One million taels, which is equivalent to 20% of the annual tax revenue of the Song Dynasty!
"Sir, Gao really dared not accept so much money, so he asked the Sir to take it back."
Although Gao Qiu was greedy for money, he was still very clear-headed. The envoy of the Liao Kingdom could not give him one million taels of silver so for nothing.
The envoy of Liao Kingdom smiled, walked over and patted Gao Qiu on the shoulder.
"Don't be afraid of Gao Da, I won't let Gao Da do dangerous things. Besides, this matter is also beneficial to Gao Da Da."
Gao Qiu frowned slightly, and his heart became more and more unsure.
"This is the thing. Our Liao Kingdom is willing to ced half of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to make peace with the Song Dynasty, but the Emperor of Song was unwilling and emphasized that we should let Wu Tian recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, and we should also come to pay tribute every year."
"Our Liao Kingdom will naturally not agree to such conditions."
Gao Qiu understood the meaning of the envoy of the Liao Kingdom.
"Does the messenger want me to help you persuade your Majesty to agree to your conditions?"
The envoy of the Liao Kingdom nodded.
Gao Qiu said: "Since my Majesty has made a decision, I am afraid he will not listen to our persuasion easily."
The envoy of the Liao Kingdom said: "I know this is indeed a bit embarrassing for you, but once Wu Tian gains power and becomes powerful, by that time, do you think you still have a way out?? Don't forget that your son Gao Yanei is Wu Tian and Lin Chong, and he became a useless person."
These words deeply hurt Gao Qiu.
He had no son, so Gao Yanei was inherited from his cousin.
