Chapter 547: Self-inflicted humiliation

Brilliant glazed tiles, green eaves carved with a variety of exquisite patterns, the tall and majestic Daqing Hall shows the momentum and majesty of the Central Plains Dynasty, Yelu Zongzheng and Yelu Chage walk side by side, at this time they are in front of the Daqing Hall like a small ant.

It is not the first time that Yelu Zongzheng has come to the square in front of the Daqing Palace, but this time is different from the past, the previous times he came as a victor, but this time he appeared as a loser, even if he pretended to rebuke the state with sharp words in his arms, he could not hide the powerlessness in his heart.

Coming to the gate of the palace, Brother Yelu Cha glanced at the ministers of the Song Dynasty who were standing in the palace, and whispered to Yelu Zongzheng: "Brother, the Song people in front of me are very pompous, I am afraid that the officials of the Beijing Dynasty are here......"

The head of the Yelu sect would not say, "What does it matter? If you're worried about being behind me, I don't believe they can eat me. ”

Walking into the main hall, the two of them obviously felt that the gaze of the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty was not good, and their arrogant attitude was like the courtiers of the Liao Dynasty facing the Song envoys back then.

The two stepped forward and saluted Zhao Xu, who was sitting on the throne, and said, "Foreign Minister Yelu Zongzheng, Yelu Chage See His Royal Highness the Prince of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

It was the first time Zhao Xu had seen the envoys of the Liao Dynasty, and he looked at it curiously: "Flat, lonely and other clothes and etiquette are no different from my Great Song Dynasty, I don't know if this is the case in the Liao Dynasty?" ”

Pang Ji was shocked, why was the prince's first sentence today different from yesterday?

"Your Royal Highness, in addition to what I am wearing, the etiquette of the monarchs and ministers of the court meeting is the same as that of the Great Song Dynasty. It's just that my Daliao respects the way of Confucius and Mencius more, and follows the Chinese Han rites, which is a loyal country......"

Before Yelu Zongzheng's words were finished, he was interrupted by Zhao Xu: "My Great Song Dynasty is the Han Dynasty, and I will not be worse than your Liao Dynasty, why should the foreign envoy say such strange words?" ”

Yelu Chage was furious in his heart, and stepped forward and said, "Then why did the Great Song Dynasty take advantage of the danger? Taking advantage of the time when I personally conquered Western Xia against the emperor, I waved my troops to the north, crossed the Huanshui, broke through the Flying Fox City, and then went north to the land of Yanyun? ”

With his words, the heart of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs was mentioned, but he didn't expect that before the national letter was published, the envoy of the Liao Dynasty led the topic to the matter of the official family's imperial conquest, and the young prince was armed.

Zhao Xu sat on the throne and twisted uncomfortably, the slight sound of the bead curtain behind him made him feel at ease, and he coughed lightly: "I wonder if the laws of your Liao Dynasty are sound?" ”

Seeing Zhao Xu change the topic, Yelu Chage thought that the young prince was too timid to face his question, so he said proudly without thinking about it: "That's natural!" In order to adapt to the co-governance of the Khitan and Han people, I Da Liao specially formulated two laws to suit the Khitan and Han people. ”

Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Then if someone steals other people's property and dedicates it to the master's family, and the master's family does not return it and takes it for himself, should he be punished?" ”

"Of course, the crime must be punished, those who steal property will be punished as stealing, and the lord will not be able to conceal the crime, so he should return the property and compensate ......" Yelu Chago said two words and found that it was inappropriate, and the children on the throne were looking at him with a smile rather than a smile, and the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty were all holding back a smile.

Yelu Chage stopped talking for a while, but he didn't expect that he was actually tricked by a little child, and he argued with a flushed face: "How can the weight of Yanyun Land be compared to wealth? ”

"Enough!" Yelu Zongzheng scolded in a low voice and stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives the sin, Yelu Chage is presumptuous in front of the Emperor......"

Zhao Xu waved his hand and said, "Don't be presumptuous, don't be presumptuous, what he said is very good!" Gu Yuan still thought that your Liao Dynasty did not have a complete legal system, but now it seems that this is not the case! But even if your Liao Dynasty has this legal system, why does it occupy my Yanyun land? ”

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he said to himself: "But it's okay, my father said that I would take my own things, so why bother others......"

The courtiers in the main hall were already bursting with laughter, and they all held back their laughter and did not dare to speak, and their bodies trembled as if they were dancing.

And Yelu Zongzheng and Yelu Chage were angry and shocked, angry that the prince of the Great Song Dynasty said this, which also means that this is the tough attitude of the Great Song Dynasty, and now it doesn't matter if he can't submit the national letter, and he is surprised that the young prince can actually say such a thing, if he grows up, he will be a Ming Jun of the Great Song Dynasty!

Zhao Xu waved his hand to Sancai on the side and said, "The envoy of the Liao Dynasty will present the letter of state." ”

Yelu Zongzheng reluctantly took out the letter of origin from his arms and handed it to Sancai: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, my Da Liao and the Great Song Dynasty are brothers' countries, since the Battle of Tanyuan, the two countries have been good neighbors to each other, and have never been good at swords. ”

Zhao Xu looked at Yelu Zongzheng with a strange expression and said: "The battle of Tanyuan was also an undeclared war of your Liao Dynasty back then, and now my Great Song Dynasty has notified the land of Yanyun with a text to complain about its power, why not?" The game of great powers is like this, how can there be a reason that you can do it in the Liao Dynasty and I can't do it in the Great Song Dynasty?! ”

The civil and military ministers in the main hall all spoke: "What is the reason?!" ”

In the past, the envoys of the Liao Dynasty had a condescending attitude, and when they went to the palace, they either begged for tribute or blamed the Great Song Dynasty.

I don't know if he was asked by Zhao Xu's words, or was shocked by the shouting questions of the ministers, Yelu Zongzheng was silent for a while, and Yelu Chage on the side looked at his brother anxiously, since the Song people have a tough attitude, then their attitude can't show weakness!

At this time, he could only hear the heavy breathing of Yelu Zongzheng, and finally raised his head suddenly: "The meaning of the Great Song Dynasty has been known, and the foreign ministers will definitely report to our emperor, since it is the Great Song Dynasty who is good at opening the sword soldiers, then my Da Liao will no longer be polite, and I will see it on the battlefield!" ”

"Well said!" A clear female voice sounded in the Daqing Palace, and everyone followed the sound to see the queen in a gorgeous dress standing up from behind the bead curtain.

"My Great Song Dynasty officials are working hard, and the army and the people are fighting hard, in order to take back Yanyun's hometown, and I am the Great Song Dynasty Jinou. Now that the Northern Expedition is swinging, the whole team will be able to carry the crown! Although Yu is a queen, like the women of ordinary people's families, her husband goes out to send him off with a triumphant song, and he returns to the dynasty to welcome him with a toast! You can also see that now my Great Song Dynasty forbidden army is like a fierce tiger, even breaking through the land of Yanyun and several states, in order to avoid the misery of life, your Liao Dynasty should withdraw as soon as possible! ”

In the face of Wang Yuyan's strength, Yelu Zongzheng frowned and said: "In vain, your Great Song Dynasty is known as the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, but now you are conquering the country of brothers, where is the etiquette?" Where is morality and righteousness? ”

Wang Yuyan chuckled: "A country of brothers? Yu has never seen a family that occupies the land of a brother and does not return it, even if it is a brother's wealth, it should be cleared of the land, let alone between the two countries? The land of Yanyun belongs to my Huaxia, and you Khitan people don't take it back, so why can't I take it for myself now?! This is in line with Confucian etiquette! Your Majesty once had an edict left, and if you don't take the land of Yanyun, the Great Song Dynasty will never be at peace! ”

"Since it's useless to talk so much, the minister retires!"

Yelu Zongzheng retreated after a little salute, at this time he was horrified in his heart, the words of the Great Song Emperor were very clear, no matter what, he must take the sixteen states of Yanyun, and from then on he can avoid border troubles.

People with a little talent in the Liao Dynasty know the importance of the land of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty, and also know its importance to the Liao Dynasty.

It seems that today's audience is completely self-inflicted, when did Da Liao start to use words as a weapon? The battlefield with real swords and guns is where the Khitans should go!
