Chapter 382: The aftermath of Emperor Liao's death
Originally, a lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was interrupted by Zhang Jian, and Zhao Zhen did not know what was going on with the death of the Liao Emperor, but Zhang Jian must have his intention to say such things in front of the civil and military officials of the Great Song Dynasty and himself.
The simplest thing is to remind the Great Song Dynasty not to make a bad mind at this time, Zhang Jian knows that the Great Song Dynasty, which is a state of etiquette, will never attack the Liao Dynasty after learning this news, after all, the monarch of the Liao Dynasty has just died, and if the Great Song Dynasty makes any moves, he will definitely be criticized by the defenders.
Zhao Zhen sighed slightly: "Yelu Longxu is also a generation of heroes, I didn't expect it to fall, I feel very ...... Sadness. I almost didn't pay attention to it, and I was very pleased, and Zhao Zhen secretly sweated.
In any case, Emperor Liao must have died, otherwise Zhang Jian would not have said such a thing in front of the Great Song Dynasty Wenwu.
Xiao Hui glanced at Zhao Zhen and bowed and said, "My emperor has died and the road is far away, please allow my Liao Dynasty mission to return to China immediately for funeral." ”
"I'm right, put a stick of incense in front of the spirit of the Liao Emperor for me, Xia Zhu, you will immediately select capable officials to send the Liao Dynasty to watch the ceremony!"
Xia Zhu quickly walked out of the banquet: "The minister obeys the order!" ”
Now that Yelu Longxu is dead, it is inappropriate for the Great Song Dynasty to continue drinking the banquet in front of the Liao envoys, and the unprecedented Qionglin banquet ended in a hurry, but the dramatic changes made the party envoys seem to have ascended from hell to heaven.
The Great Song Dynasty, the Liao Dynasty, and the game between the three kingdoms of the party have long been a change of one and the other, before Zhao Zhen deliberately lowered the party and raised the Liao Dynasty in order to tell the party that the Great Song Dynasty does not recognize you, but who would have thought that the emperor of the Liao Dynasty died like this in the blink of an eye......
This is a good thing for the party, and it can't be better.
Yeli Renrong knows a lot about the current situation of the Liao State, after all, Xiao Yunjin's arbitrariness in the Liao Dynasty has long been notorious, and as soon as the current Liao Emperor dies, the Liao Dynasty may face a huge change, and the party will benefit from it...... It's not just the party, Yeli Ren Rong raised his eyes slightly and looked at the first big Song housekeeper, I'm afraid that the big Song will also intervene in it, right?
After all, compared with the party members, the Song people were also dissatisfied with the Liao people, and the sixteen states of Yanyun were a scar on the face of the Great Song Dynasty, which also made the Great Song lose its original barrier in the northern region.
Smiling slightly, Yeli Ren Rong secretly sighed: "I'm afraid that the Song people will be more anxious than my party members, right?" ”
Indeed, as he guessed, when Zhao Zhen left Qionglin Yuan and returned to the palace, Sancai trotted over with a whole stack of songs: "Your Majesty, these are the courtiers' ......"
Zhao Zhen said with a smile: "They are very fast, compared to the death of Emperor Liao, it is simply the biggest gain for them this year, right?" ”
Sancai saw that the official family looked good and was a big Chinese New Year's Eve, so he said with a smile: "No, many courtiers say that the Liao Emperor is a generation of British lords, and his death is the opportunity that God gave me the Great Song Dynasty......
"Fart!!"
Zhao Zhen stretched out his hand and knocked over the song in Sancai's hand: "The heart of the villain, this is clearly the work of a coward, even if I want to take back the land of Yanyun, I have to rely on the real strength, and it is justifiable to take it back from the hands of the Liao Dynasty, otherwise how can I talk about being famous?" ”
After Zhao Zhen finished speaking, he bent down to pick up the song and walked towards Funing Palace, what a good paper, wouldn't it be a waste to throw it away like this, or add bricks and tiles to the fireplace in the palace......
In the Funing Palace, Zhao Zhen held two sons who had just eaten and burped, and although the daughter was only two years old, she had already begun to toddle, breaking free from Vera's arms and trembling and smirking on Zhao Zhen's lap.
Wang Yuyan looked at Ling'er's walking and complained: "Other people's children can walk when they are one year old, only our royal exception is that the two-year-old doll has begun to toddle, and the official family can't spoil her too much." ”
Zhao Zhen laughed while teasing his daughter's chubby little face: "What do you know, it is true that toddlers too early seem different from ordinary people, but the leg shape in the future is not good-looking, what if it is a circle?" ”
Yang Caiwei saw that her son's milk spit out wet Zhao Zhen's clothes, and hurriedly hugged it and patted it: "Pet is petted, anyway, you are the official family of the Great Song Dynasty, and we all like Ling'er's tightness, but we are just worried about her, and now it is not the concubine...... Queen, don't you say? ”
Wang Yuyan rolled her eyes: "Just you can talk......" Yang Caiwei didn't care, and pulled Vera with a smile to change clothes for Zhao Zhen and her son.
A warm scene made Zhao Zhen's tangled heart to be calmed, looking at the warm fireplace and falling into contemplation, it is obviously unwise to send troops to the Liao Dynasty at this time, although the Liao Dynasty will cause a turmoil in the country, but once the Great Song Dynasty sends troops to smoke and clouds, it will definitely provoke the Liao people to be unanimous, the internal contradictions are far less serious than the external contradictions, and there is no so-called absurd logic in the politics of the ancients.
In Zhao Zhen's plan, the Liao Dynasty is the last goal, not only to recover the land of Yanyun, but also to take Lake Baikal into the bag!
It's just that if you want to deal with the behemoth of the Liao Dynasty, you must slowly figure it out, and the party is like a jackal wandering in the wilderness, cunning and ferocious, once the Song and Liao countries go to war, it will definitely take advantage of this excellent opportunity to expand, Zhao Zhen will not let it have a chance to establish a country, let alone join forces with it to carve up the Liao Dynasty.
Now only by completely eliminating the party can the Great Song Dynasty devote all its energy to the Liao Dynasty.
Turning over the note in his hand, Zhao Zhen did not hesitate to throw it into the fireplace as long as he saw the heaven-sent opportunity or the words of the United Party, it seems that Wenchen sometimes takes it for granted, and even forgets the old saying that the mourning soldiers will win.
After looking for a long time, I didn't see Cai Boyu's sparseness, Zhao Zhen smiled slightly bitterly, this guy is completely not going to get in touch with political affairs, tonight Zhao Zhen has seen everyone, Yan Shu, Ouyang Xiu, Ding Du, Zeng Gongliang, and even Bao Zheng, who has just been transferred from Tianchang to the palace, and Fan Zhongyan, who is in the Road Administration Yuan.
Only Cai Boyu didn't find this guy anymore, and finally Peng Qi said casually: "Cai Juma took his son to the lotus pond to see the frogs......"
Zhao Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, sure enough, he wanted to stay out of the big quagmire of the government, and reluctantly opened Ouyang Xiu and Bao Zheng, Fan Zhongyan's recitals, all of which showed that the Great Song Dynasty could not use troops against the Liao Dynasty at this time, and the analysis could be regarded as a different way.
Ouyang Xiu reminded himself in the words of "Lao Tzu": "There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy, and the underestimating enemy loses several treasures, so the resistance to the army is added, and the mourner wins." ”
Fan Zhongyan, on the other hand, saw the threat of the party members, and pointed out that once he joined forces with the party to carve up the Liao State, it would inevitably be a matter of raising tigers for the sake of trouble, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Bao Zheng's article is much simpler, the Liao Emperor has just died, and my dynasty will destroy this dynasty with soldiers who can fight well, what do the people of the world think, and what do foreign vassals think?
The three of them were very rational in their thoughts, Zhao Zhen nodded with satisfaction, reached out and picked up the brush handed by his daughter tremblingly and read it on the note.
It is much more interesting to open Ding Wei's note, he did not explain whether he supported or did not support the dispatch of troops, but wrote on the note that the national strength of the Great Song Dynasty and the salary and salary of the three divisions can be produced, and that's all, there is no more sentence, it is really an out-and-out old fox.
Throw all the useless music into the fireplace to keep warm, the smell of burning ink is not good, the eldest son Zhao Xu didn't care at all and giggled at the fire, and the second son Zhao Yun frowned and cried in disgust.
Zhao Zhen touched his head inexplicably, is this a trade-off between civil and military? Is this providence?
