Chapter 1244: Helping the Liao State

Chapter 1244 Helping the Liao State

Wang Shiru was very sympathetic to Mu Chun, the old man could be said to have exhausted his wisdom for the science and technology of the Liao Kingdom, how could he make the sad cry at the bowl conference, so that Yelu Hongji, who was so happy, remembered it thoroughly.

If it weren't for the fact that the Mu family was also a founding family, the old man had a good character in the court, and many relatives were old, and he would have been thrown to the North Pole by Yelu Hongji to herd sheep.

Seeing that Yelu Hongji was dissatisfied, Wang Shiru hurriedly diverted the topic: "Now the top priority is disaster relief, Yelu Shensi and Xiao Weixin also feel that it is impossible for the Song people to enter Liao, and they want to refuse, but Xue Zhong, the manager of Hebei Road, Sitong Firm, has proposed another plan. ”

"What's the plan?"

"Xue Zhong said that he could use the influence of the Duke of Fu Guo on the Emperor Song Charity Federation to get the Empress Dowager of the Song Dynasty to come forward and gather medical monks and people to help."

"Yelu Shensi proposed at that time, if this is the case, then let the monks of Wutai Mountain on the Song-Liao border participate together."

"Xue Zhong sent the letter to Bianjing, and Fu Guogong replied that if the Great Liao agreed, the Great Song Dynasty would send Dao Chong, the younger brother of the Daolong Great Monk of the Great Xiangguo Temple, Zhang Qianshan, the uncle of Zhang Tianshi, and the Keqin Great Monk of the Wutai Mountain Zhenrong Academy."

Yelu Hongji's expression suddenly became surprised and happy: "Buddha Fruit Zen Master, the Great Law Monk is still Ziyang Zhenren?" Is that really what Fu Guogong said?! ”

Wang Shiru nodded: "Yes, in addition, there are Zhang Shangying, who represents the Charity Federation, as well as Ningshantang of the Fuguo Public Medical Pavilion, Hanlin Yizheng, and Qian Yi, the founder of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

These two Yelu Hongji didn't care much, he was only interested in the three in front of him, and he was so happy that he paced on the grass: "Living Immortal True Buddha, you want to come to my Liao country?!" Da Song is really willing to let them come? I'm going to give them the temple in Wulongjing! ”

Wang Shiru secretly rolled his eyes in his heart, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, they are here to relieve the disaster and will not cross the Great Wall." ”

"Then I will go to Nanjing to greet me!" Yeluhongji was very excited: "Wait...... Song people, what are the conditions?! ”

Wang Shiru said: "There are no conditions in the Great Song Dynasty, but Xue Zhong of Sitong said that now the female straight is selling horses to them, because they have to cross the sea, the cost and loss are high, can they ...... Directly trade horses with Da Liao in Xiongzhou? ”

Yelu Hongji's face turned cold: "Female straight? I allowed them to cut wood, which was already extraordinarily gracious, and how dare they do this? ”

Wang Shiru said: "Nowadays, the female straight people cross the Yalu River in Baishan, and then trade with the Song people from its east bank to Haikou. ”

They even dared to cross the sea to Zhangzi Island with wooden rafts and ginseng in their pockets. Even if it is nine deaths and one life, as long as they arrive once, it is an inexhaustible wealth for them, so the Jiangkou patrol is repeatedly prohibited. ”

"Your Majesty, the horse ban between Song and Liao, because of the existence of female straight people, has become a virtual reality, rather than letting the profits be taken by female straight barbarians, it is better for me to take it myself."

After speaking, he glanced at the white horse on the side: "Your Majesty's mount is the congratulatory gift sent by Sitong to Your Majesty on the same day. ”

"The Song people now have excellent horse breeds, and the minister also heard that they have successfully bred horses in the northwest wolf crossing, and now they continue to open up a large horse farm in Xiangzhou."

"It's only a matter of time before a herd of horses is raised."

"Now agreeing to buy and sell horses can also be regarded as a huge reward for the kindness of Da Liao to the Song Dynasty, if it is a few years later, I am afraid that it will not be anything."

"Agreeing to return to Yi horses, Da Liao is not considered to be taking the aid of the Song Dynasty for nothing, and the brotherly state is still an enemy. This is one of them. ”

"Take Dali back from the female straight man, so that she will not use the proceeds to become strong and prosperous, hinder the defense of my eastern border, and make it continue to look up to me to snort, so as to facilitate bondage, and the other is also."

"Erdao has been covered by locusts for thousands of miles, and there is no grass, and even people need relief, let alone livestock? Moving them to the north is bringing trouble with them. It is better to solve the problem on the spot, so that Yelu can use the proceeds of horse sales to treat the victims, so that there is no need to transfer money and grain from the north, and the third is also. ”

Yelu Hongji felt that what Wang Shiru said was also reasonable: "Let the female Zhijie make Wanyan impeach Li Bo to come to Zhongjing, and I will treat him for the crime of failing to restrain his subordinates!" Tell Jerex to agree to his request to return the horses, but this time it is a special case. ”

"Although it's not a big deal, this time it's begging for horses, beware that next time it's begging for land!"

Wang Shiru smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is enough. ”

"Yelu Shen thinks that he is quite a famous minister, and this time he asked the Song people to recruit Wutai monks to join the rescue team, which is to use the spies who were lurking in the Song land before. Not only can you monitor the actions of the Song people with the team, but when you return after the success, you may also be rewarded and your status improved, which can be regarded as a number in one fell swoop. ”

Yelu Hongji said with a smile: "Careful thinking can be regarded as experience, and it should be rewarded, you go to draw up an edict." ”

Wang Shiru was a rare generalist Confucian in the Liao Dynasty, who studied the history of the Six Classics and the book of medical divination, and was knowledgeable and good at rhetoric.

Taoism, simplicity, purity, and Yiwen, scholars are in these four, and it is difficult to grow up to one.

Among the Liao people, the public recommended Wang Shiru to have both.

After the twenty-six Jinshi, he successively served as the secretary of the provincial school Shulang, the Privy Council Order History, the Prince Washing Horses, the Zhishi Museum, and the Shangshu than the Ministry of Foreign Lang Chong History Museum to revise.

Now he is still the companion of Liang Wang Yanxi, and at the same time he is also the intellectual system of Yelu Hongji.

Xiao Wuna and Wang Shiru, these are the two civil and military ministers prepared by Yelu Hongji for his grandson.

Wang Shiru straightened up: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing." ”

Yelu Hongji wanted to tease his grandson, but he was a little impatient: "What's the matter? ”

Wang Shiru said: "King Liang is about to turn six years old, and he should be enlightened. ”

Yelu Hongji glanced at his grandson, Yanxi was treating Xiao Wuna as a big horse, riding on his back and giggling, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and strode towards that side: "Among the scholars of the Liao Dynasty, with your profound knowledge and virtue, why bother others?" It's you. ”

After walking two steps and turning back: "By the way, let Yelu Shensi tell the Song court, and say that I am sincere to the Buddha, and I hope that I can have the honor to invite the Buddha Zen Master and the Great Law Monk to come to Zhongjing to promote Buddhism, pray for the people to be blessed, and ask the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to agree." ”

Wang Shiru nodded: "Yes." ”

……

At the end of May of the fourth year of Yuanfeng, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State reached an agreement, and the Great Song Charity Rescue Team, carrying disaster relief materials worth 300,000 yuan, entered the Xijing Road and Nanjing Road of the Liao Kingdom to carry out charity rescue.

This rescue operation was the first time since the founding of the Song Dynasty that a large number of people entered the Liao State in a righteous and bright way.

The team was led by Zhang Shangying, Qian Yi, the representative of the Royal Charity Federation, the Taoist monk of the Great Xiangguo Temple, the representative of the Heavenly Master Mansion Zhang Qianshan, and the representative of the Zhenrong Yuan of Wutai Mountain.

The first road started from Xiongzhou to rescue Yizhou, Flying Fox, and Lingqiu.

The second road started from Shuozhou to rescue Mayi, Heyin, and Datong in Liaoguo.

The third road is the most important, starting from Bazhou, to rescue Zhuozhou, Nanjing, Khan, Fengsheng, and Naturalized Prefectures of Liao.

The fourth way is to take the sea route, land in Luanzhou, Liaoguo, and rescue Luanzhou, Pingzhou, Jingzhou, Jizhou, and Yuyang.

This rescue operation covered the southern part of Xijing Road and the entire Nanjing Road, that is, the traditional farming area south of the Yanzhao Great Wall - Youyun Sixteen Prefectures!

Yelu Hongji specially sent a letter to Zhao Ji to express his gratitude for this: "Stealing is tired of going down, and since the good talk, we have kept the rules with each other and agreed with each other. Although the realm is divided into two countries, Ke is deep and difficult to know, and the Yinuo family thinks about it forever. ”

Also with dozens of taels of silver, cast into a Buddha statue to give back to Zhao Ji, the back of the Buddha statue left a line of text: "May future generations be born in China."

……

Western Xia, the big tent of the Baotai Military Division, Liang Yongneng coldly looked at the helpless cuteness who was kneeling on the ground and was embarrassed.

Liang Gewei couldn't see anything on his face: "They all command eloquence, and after arriving at our military department, they offer military strategies every day, bluntly saying that it is desirable to celebrate the ring, and ask for meritorious service." ”

"In order to support you this time, the marshal transferred all the three hundred steel armors that Mr. Jia worked hard to buy into your army, and he was afraid of affecting the speed, so he allocated five thousand horses."

After speaking, he shook his head: "Now the 20,000 elites have only brought back 5,000, and the 30,000 good horses have been captured by the Song people, 20,000, and 300 steel armors, all of which have fallen into the hands of the enemy, and if they don't do well, they will be copied by the Song people, breaking my biggest reliance in Great Xia." This, you will give an explanation to the handsome?! ”
