Chapter 0251: The Value of Kou Ji
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's voice landed.
The atmosphere around the two of them was a little solemn.
Kou Ji was scolding his mother in his heart, but there was no strange look on his face, he bowed deeply to the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, before the foreign minister answers you, can you answer the foreign minister's question first?" ”
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was stunned, stroked the beard on his chin, and said with a smile: "I know that you have many doubts in your heart. Since you insist on asking, I will not hide it from you. ”
"The reason why I value you has nothing to do with you seeing through my plans."
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu took off the big hand that stroked his beard, waved it casually, and said heroically: "Since I ascended the throne, there have been countless things planned. I have seen many people who can see through my plans.
I even met someone who could completely guess my thoughts. ”
"And these people?"
Koji was a little surprised.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu nodded and said, "Yes, how could it not be." You Song people have a saying, called the sacred heart is unfathomable. But no matter how unpredictable the Sacred Heart is, there are always people who want to speculate.
There are people who are gifted, and they have an amazing talent for speculating on people's hearts.
As long as they are given enough time, they will be able to clearly feel a person's mind. ”
Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully and continued to ask, "Then how did Your Majesty deal with the person who could guess your mind?" ”
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu picked up the wine glass on the table, took a sip, and laughed in a low voice: "Naturally, I killed ...... Keeping this kind of people will only cause me unnecessary trouble. ”
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's eyes fell on Kou Ji, and said, "So...... I've never admired someone who can read my mind, and I'm even a little disgusted. ”
The implication is to tell Kou Ji that he Yelu Longxu has a fancy for Kou Ji, and it has nothing to do with Kou Ji being able to guess his mind.
Kou Ji folded his hands on his legs, his brows furrowed, and said suspiciously: "Then how do you think of foreign ministers?" ”
"Change ......"
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu did not hide it, and calmly told Kou Ji two words.
Kou Ji was puzzled.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu explained with a smile: "Your grandfather Kou Zhun is a person, and I know it clearly. Although he was a little bold, he was too rigid, too pedantic, too stupid.
What he did during the reign of the Song State has attracted my attention.
My evaluation of him is that he has the talent to rule the world, but he has no ability to rule the world. ”
Kou Ji's brows twisted into a Sichuan character.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu laughed and said, "Are you blaming me for evaluating your grandfather? I know that you have filial piety, but in this matter, you cannot refute me, nor can you defend your grandfather, because I am telling the truth.
Your grandfather had a talent for governing the world, which does not need to be explained much, and it is not difficult to see from the fact that he is now in charge of all the government affairs of the Song Kingdom.
Your grandfather has no ability to rule the world, so I can talk to you about it.
You Song people always like to confuse the talent of governing the world with the ability to govern the world.
I always feel that those who have the talent to govern the world should have the ability to govern the world.
Not really.
It's like the learning of a scholar.
Some people can talk about it and write shocking remarks about governing the country.
This is called the talent of the world.
If he can put what he writes into practice.
That's the power to rule the world.
The former is talent, and the latter is ability.
Only those who are talented and capable can be regarded as real rulers.
Those who are talented and learned, but incapable, are not considered good ministers of the world.
Your grandfather is one of those who has the talent but the ability.
I know that you may not be convinced when I say that.
But it's true.
Your grandfather has served as the prime minister of the Song State many times, but he can't even move Wang Qinruo, Ding Wei and the like.
Instead, he was played with by others and rolled out of Bianliang.
That's how incompetent he is.
If he has the ability, it should be Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei who get out of Bianliang.
If he has the ability, he should sweep away the world-recognized traitors such as Wang Qinruo and Ding Wei, go north with a million troops, and ask me, if you still want to return the sixteen states of Yanyun! ”
Kou Ji raised his head and stared at Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu with a stunned expression.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu laughed loudly: "Do you think that this should not come out of the mouth of me, the Great Liao Emperor?" ”
Kou Ji hesitated, but nodded.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu snapped, patted the chair, and sighed: "I hate your Song Kingdom, you Song Kingdom occupies the richest place in this land, with countless money, countless grain and grass, but you live like a mouse.
If I have the money and food of your Song Kingdom, I will be invincible in the world. ”
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "This is the reason why I have attacked your Song Kingdom three times and five times. You Song Guokong guards the money and grain, and you don't want to make progress, I want to bring your money and grain, so that you can see how much power these money and grain can play. ”
Kou Ji hesitated, but still said, "My grandfather is not bad now......
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's voice rose three points again, "That's because of you!" That's because of your appearance, which made the court of the Song Kingdom change dramatically and your grandfather.
That's why I have to recruit you. ”
Kou Ji was slightly stunned.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said seriously: "Before you appeared, your grandfather was like a rampage reckless man. In the face of Ding Wei and Liu E's control of the imperial campaign, when my royal brother was sick on the bed, he actually dared to enter Bianliang and participate in the reckless man in the palace power struggle.
If you don't show up, your grandfather won't be able to escape exile for thousands of miles.
You showed up and changed all that.
Under your influence, your grandfather went from being a reckless man to a powerful man with strong skills and decisiveness.
Before you appeared, you Song Guo was like a quail, a quail shrunk in a shell.
Whether it is in the face of my provocation or Li Deming's provocation, they are just quails shrinking in their shells and begging for mercy.
After you appeared, let your Song Kingdom, a quail, grow a sharp peck and sharp claws.
As soon as he broke out of the shell, he bit off a large piece of Li Deming's meat.
When others look at the war in Western Xia, they only think that you have seen through my plan, and the rest has nothing to do with you.
But when I look at the war in Western Xia, your shadow is everywhere. ”
Kou Ji muttered: "The reason why there are so many changes in the Great Song Dynasty has nothing to do with the foreign ministers. Thanks to the joint efforts of the Manchu civil and military forces. ”
When Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu heard this, he smiled sarcastically: "Just those officials in the court of your Song Kingdom? There are only two or three people who can enter my eyes. The rest ......"
"In terms of poetry, even if I bring the scholars of the whole Daliao, I can't compare to them. But when it comes to governance, it's all a bunch of straw bales. ”
Kou Ji asked: "There are many similar officials in the court of Liao......"
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Kou Ji and laughed in a low voice: "The reason why I raise these straw bales is to attract talents from your Song Kingdom. ”
When Koji heard this, he was silent.
He really didn't have anything to say.
is also an idler, and the more he raises it, the more confused he becomes.
The Liao State is becoming clearer and clearer the more it is raised.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Kou Ji and said, "I have answered your question, now it's time for you to answer my question, right?" ”
Kou Ji groaned: "The foreign minister still has doubts......
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was stunned for a moment, and said: "That's it, I will solve all the doubts in your heart today, if there is any problem, you can just ask." ”
Kou Ji asked, "There is one thing that the foreign minister has never understood. When your country and Qingtang attacked Western Xia, they formed an alliance behind their backs, why didn't Qingtang make a move when your country attacked Western Xia.
On the contrary, when my Great Song Dynasty attacked Western Xia, Qingtang immediately led his troops to the battlefield. ”
When Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, obviously, Kou Ji's question was something he didn't want to mention in his heart.
However, he did not hide Kou Ji because of this, but said calmly: "I said that I was tricked by Qingtang, do you believe it?" ”
Kou Ji looked confused.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sighed and said: "When I sent troops to attack Western Xia, I did form an alliance with Western Xia behind my back. When the soldiers came to Western Xia, they didn't see any movement in Qingtang, so they sent someone to investigate.
Unexpectedly, Qingtang gave birth to a small civil strife at this time.
The soldiers and horses of Qingtang Zampu Jiaoluo cannot leave without permission.
My army has already pressed to the border of Western Xia, and it is impossible for me to wait for Qingtang Zanpu Jiaoluo to deal with Qingtang's internal affairs, and then lead my troops to attack the Liao State. ”
Kou Ji heard a little helplessness from the words of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
Kou Ji felt that if he stood in the perspective of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, he should have made the same choice.
The 500,000 soldiers and horses of the Liao State marched westward and had been pressed to the border of Western Xia.
It is impossible to delay the fighter plane because of waiting for the Qingtang soldiers and horses to be dispatched.
After all, whether it was the Western Xia discovering the army of the Liao State or the Great Song Dynasty discovering the army of the Liao State, they would randomly make corresponding deployments.
If the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu is delayed for a moment, the battle situation will be more variable.
So he can't wait.
Moreover, Yelu Longxu, the Liao Emperor at that time, did not know that he would be defeated, and his years of experience in the southern and northern wars told him that the 500,000 army he led was enough to destroy the Western Xia.
Therefore, Qingtang's soldiers and horses are dispensable for him.
Kou Ji nodded slowly, and then continued to ask: "Then why did Your Majesty choose to join forces with Western Xia and attack my Great Song Dynasty together after losing to Western Xia?" ”
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu glanced at Kou Ji and said lightly: "If I tell you that I just want to give it a try, after I lose to Western Xia, will your Song Kingdom take advantage of the weakness to enter, do you believe it?" ”
Kou Ji opened his mouth, just about to speak.
I heard Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu continue: "I lost to Western Xia once, it is not terrible, I can make a comeback at any time." But your Song Kingdom is different, once your Song Kingdom shows its sharp teeth, it is far comparable to Western Xia.
As far as I am concerned, you Song Kingdom are the biggest troubles.
Western Xia is nothing more than a disease of ringworm and scabies. ”
Hearing this, Kou Ji nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "What does Your Majesty think of Li Deming?" ”
"Li Deming? He has the posture of an overlord, provided that he can survive at the hands of me and my nephew. ”
"Where's Li Yuanhao?"
"Insolent Child......"
"Where's Kagoro?"
"If he is a descendant of my Yelu clan, I don't mind passing on the throne to him after a hundred years."
“……”
Kou Ji asked, and Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu answered.
Kou Ji asked all the heroes in the world, and Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu gave comments one by one.
The two talked for a long time, and they had the meaning of cooking wine and talking about heroes.
"Foreign minister Xiang Minzhong, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of Liao......"
When Xiang Minzhong's voice sounded beside the two, Kou Ji let out a sigh of relief.
The reason why he chased the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu to ask questions was to delay time.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was ruthless and aggressive.
forced him to take refuge in Liao, he didn't want to agree to Liaohuang Yelu Longxu, and he didn't want to temporarily stiffen with Liaohuang Yelu Longxu, so he could only delay it again and again.
dragged it to the end of the peace talks with Xiang Minzhong and Liao Chen, and came over to help him break the siege.
As for the woman that Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu used to threaten him, he felt that he needed time, and he would think about countermeasures when he went back.
However.
Kou Ji looked down on the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's face.
When Xiang Minzhong appeared in front of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu did not pay attention to him, but stared at Kou Ji and said seriously: "I thought you were humbly asking me for advice. I didn't expect you kid to play tricks in front of me and drag out time. ”
Kou Ji originally thought that after Xiang Minzhong arrived, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu would no longer mention things like solicitation.
Unexpectedly, in order to recruit him, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu actually didn't even care about Xiang Minzhong.
Xiang Minzhong saw Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu staring at Kou Ji stunned, thought about it for a while, and said to Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu with a smile: "Your Majesty the Emperor of Liao, if Kou Ji has any offense against you, the foreign minister is here to take him to accompany you." ”
"Shut up!"
Xiang Minzhong still wanted to speak, and wanted to help Kou Ji break the siege.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's voice interrupted him coldly.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu didn't even look at Minzhong, his eyes kept staring at Kou Ji, and he didn't move for half a minute.
Seeing this, Xiang Minzhong's face changed.
Dragons are dragons after all, and they can eat people. One moment he was kind to you, and the next moment he could swallow you in one bite.
This is the dragon ......
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu stared at Kou Ji and said word by word: "Tell me your answer!" ”
Kou Ji gritted his teeth and said, "Why is Your Majesty so aggressive? Although foreign ministers could influence the court situation in the Great Song Dynasty, they might not be able to make any achievements when they arrived in the Liao Kingdom. ”
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said coldly: "You should understand the principle of eliminating the advantages of one and the other." When you arrived in my Daliao, you didn't do anything, and I didn't care. But as long as you are in the Song Kingdom for a day, the Song Kingdom will continue to grow stronger, and I will have a strong and powerful opponent.
I tried my best to keep you, just to let the Song Kingdom change back to the former Song Kingdom. ”
Xiang Minzhong was shocked when he heard this.
He didn't expect that Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu would value Kou Ji so much.
He didn't expect that Liaohuang Yelu Longxu would actually give Kou Ji such an evaluation.
Xiang Minzhong's eyes fell on Kou Ji, wanting to see how Kou Ji answered.
Kou Ji faced the coercion of Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, gritted his teeth and said: "Foreign minister Kou Ji, if you die, you will not betray the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
"Bang!"
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu raised his hand and patted the low table next to him, and slowly stood up.
As he stood up, the low table that held his palm shattered.
