Chapter 471: Actions of All Parties (3)
The first time the Tibetan envoys were sent to negotiate an alliance to attack Anbei, and the ministers present, except for Mengtu, who did not express his position, the vast majority of the rest were strongly in favor of forming an alliance with Tubo and laying down the biggest obstacle to Anbei, which had prevented the Hu people from surviving for decades.
Wang Shan is also one of the strong supporters.
However, Hohba Ri had no intention of sending troops, and his attitude was very resolute.
Now, the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, Hohe Ba Ri, summoned the world and sent an envoy to the Jin Dynasty, and this battle of Longyou will never intervene.
After the Tibetan conquered Liangzhou, they sent envoys again to discuss the alliance between the two countries.
The ministers in favor of the alliance are still the majority, but at this time, Wang Shan, who previously strongly advocated sending troops, has become the biggest lord and faction, not to say how deep his feelings for the Jin Dynasty are, just because Wang Shan is an extremely principled person, and the moral bottom line is also very high, in his opinion, since Hohe Ba Ri has already stated that he will not send troops to intervene in the war between Tubo and the Jin Dynasty, and he sent an envoy to Fengjing to officially convey the letter of the Liao Dynasty with the emperor's edict.
The Son of Heaven is full of words, how can he not believe in his words?
Wang Shan didn't like Wang Huaili, felt that this person was highly educated, but the utilitarian heart was too heavy, the morality was low, there was no personal principle, the previous Huhe Ba Ri attitude was clear, did not want to send troops to participate in the war between Tubo and the Jin Dynasty, now, Liangzhou was captured, Hohe Ba Ri's attitude has changed, Wang Huaili always followed the mind of Hohe Ba Ri, the emperor said that he would not send troops, he resolutely opposed, now the emperor intends to send troops, he tried his best to send troops, and the Tubo alliance to attack Anbei, completely the wall grass wind blows on both sides of the villain traitor, Wang Shan hated Wang Huaili even more.
Sure enough, as soon as the topic opened, Wang Huaili was the first to speak, impassioned, tried his best to speak, formed an alliance with Tubo, attacked back and forth, and defeated Anbei.
Yan Wang Hedmutu, the right prime minister Feng Wang Nai Ma Zhen, Xu Wang Gongbu Shangshu Chagan and other major ministers all agreed with Wang Huaili's opinion, and they all gave advice and advice, advocating sending troops.
"Your Majesty must not send troops."
Wang Shan spoke out loud.
"Lord Wang, the opinions of this minister are almost unanimous, don't you say more?"
Wang Huaili persuaded with kind words.
"Shut up."
Wang Shan pointed at Wang Huaili and scolded: "You traitorous minister, if the emperor listens to your slander, he will definitely fall into infamy through the ages, and it will be too late to regret it." ”
Wang Huaili's face was flushed when he was scolded, and he hated it in his heart, but he didn't dare to fight back.
Wang Shan is the teacher of Hohe Bari and the emperor's teacher.
In his early years, he let him teach his six sons Confucianism, Huhe Bari was very interested, consistent, followed by Mengtu, three years, the other four, the time is very short, but no matter what, there is a teacher-student love there, even Enkhbara, who has the worst attitude towards the Han people, saw Wang Shan, and also politely called Mr. Wang, did not dare to make a mistake, and now he was scolded by Wang Shan, and Wang Huaili hated the blood in his heart, and he could only endure it.
King Long Ge Gen frowned and said, "Mr. Wang, isn't it very good that your majesty has foul words in front of you?" ”
Wang Shan said coldly: "If I am guilty, the emperor will naturally punish me, and I will not ask the prince to remind me." ”
Ge Gen smiled bitterly twice, and didn't say more, Wang Shan once taught him Confucianism, although he didn't like it very much, and he didn't learn it for long, but he was a master and apprentice, and Wang Shan had a righteous personality, no matter who he was, he didn't welcome him, he didn't favor him, he didn't fight or be greedy, he was very honest and honest as an official, which made many people respectful.
Hohe Bari waved his hand and said with a smile: "The master's words, I don't think it was intentional, how can I blame it." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Shan bowed down and thanked him, and then said solemnly: "Your Majesty, the country has its own law, its own faith, sending troops to conquer other countries, lies in being polite and courteous, and the division is famous, and now Your Majesty has issued an edict, announcing the Quartet, and communicating with the Jin Dynasty envoys, saying that he will not send troops, the Son of Heaven is full of words, and it is difficult to collect the water, how can he betray his faith and damage the majesty of the Son of Heaven?" If you send troops innocently and are not reasonable, the Liao State will be looked down upon by other countries, and the ministers and people in the country may have a lot of criticism, and there is no benefit to the country and Your Majesty. ”
After listening to Wang Shan's words, Huhe Bari was silent.
Before the establishment of the Liao State, the khans of the Hu nationality were proud of being knighted by the Jin Dynasty, which was justified, and after the establishment of the Liao State, the Jin Dynasty immediately opposed it and did not recognize the legitimacy of the Liao State, for which the two countries had many refutations and arguments.
The Jin Dynasty was once strong, dominating the Quartet, admired by all countries, and respected as the suzerainty by many countries, such a situation, from the previous dynasty to the present, has been more than a thousand years, in the concept of many people, deep-rooted, can not be recognized by the Central Plains Dynasty, your country is not legitimate.
After the founding of the country, the Quartet was announced, but there were very few countries that came to congratulate them, and the countries were very indifferent to the founding of the Hu people, which had a lot to do with the attitude of the Jin Dynasty.
Such a situation put Hohe Bari in a very embarrassing situation.
Tubo launched the Longyou War, sent envoys, hoping to alliance, jointly deal with the Jin Dynasty, the situation at that time, the vast majority of people, I am afraid that the situation will develop to the way it is today, maybe it will still be like before, you attack and defend, form a stalemate, and then it is negotiation, compromise, and get back together, this model has been hundreds of years.
Based on this idea and the persuasion of his confidants, Hohe Bari rejected Tubo, and took this matter as a breakthrough, half threatened, half discussed, and finally let the Jin Dynasty compromise, and issued an edict announcing the equal status of the Liao Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty, and the two sides were friends of each other.
However, Hohe Ba Ri never expected that the development of the situation would be so rapid and magical, the Anbei rescue army was defeated and retreated, Liangzhou fell, the state was lost, the main force of the Jin army was annihilated, and the entire Longyou North Province was already in the pocket of Tubo.
In such a situation, if the Tubo launched an attack from Liangzhou, and the Liao Dynasty army moved south, attacking back and forth, Anbei, the largest fortress that had blocked the road of the Hu people for many years, would be completely uprooted.
Hohe Ba Ri was tempted, which was indeed a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Liao Dynasty.
But what Wang Shan said is not unreasonable, with the establishment of the Liao State, it is no longer possible to act as wantonly as before, do not pay attention to the rules, a country, should have his majesty, faithfulness, the Liao Dynasty has just established an alliance with the Jin Dynasty, everyone in the world knows, if you innocently tear up the covenant and send troops to Anbei, I am afraid that you will be scolded by the people of the world, and be despised and alienated by other countries, and this is a very serious problem.
Wang Shan talked about the truth for a long time, but he didn't listen to a word, in the face of absolute interests, what morality, what shame, that's all bullshit.
After Wang Shan finished speaking, Huhe Bari nodded, looked at Meng Tu, and said, "Prime Minister Zuo, what do you think?" ”
Montu said lightly: "Maybe we need an excuse. ”
Huhe Bari's eyes lit up, pondered for a moment, and finally raised his hand to stop Wang Shan's speech, and said with a smile: "That's all for today, let me think about it." ”
With that, Hoho Bari got up and left.
