In the Xiongzhou Yamen, Gan Qi wore an extremely formal official uniform.

It's just that when he met the Liao envoy, Gan Qi sat firmly in the hall and did not get up to greet him.

There are more than a dozen Liao people, and the leading envoy is still Xiao Hu, and most of the time there is only a need to send each other across the border, and the officials of the other party will transfer it to their respective emperors, but there are also some more solemn times, and they will send an embassy to the other emperor.

The letter of state sent by the Liao people today is not not grand, but unfriendly.

When the national letter arrived in Degan Qi's hand, Gan Qi spread it out and glanced at it, but his eyes were on Xiao Hu.

I don't know if Xiao Hu was a little surprised, but Gan Qi was actually in Xiongzhou. However, he was silent, just said: "The national letter is here, you have also seen it, and see how the emperor of the Southern Dynasty dissipates my Khitan Daliao is anger......

Xiao Hu's tone was a little relieved, naked threat.

Gan Qi obviously didn't read the national letter carefully, there was a bunch of unnutritious language in it, only one sentence was the main point, Gan Qi also saw it, so he asked: "How many soldiers are you going to display at the border?" ”

Chen Bing's kind of thing, in fact, also has to pay a price, organize and mobilize soldiers and horses, and prepare grain and grass. If you still have to exercise military intimidation, those people in the army will also work hard.

Gan Qi just asked casually to see the confidence of the Liao people.

Xiao Hu stretched out his hand and replied: "More than a million!" It must not be your unstoppable soldier in the Southern Dynasty! ”

Your grandfather's, the opening is a million? If you add up all the soldiers and horses of your entire Liao country, there are not a million. Gan Qi slandered in his heart, and smiled in his mouth: "Million? Xiao makes the call? ”

"What? When the emperor of my Northern Dynasty is angry, he will be a million soldiers, and if the Southern Dynasty can't explain this matter, it will be a thousand miles of bloodshed. Xiao Hu's eyelids have been raised beyond his eyebrows, and his bearing is proud and arrogant with confidence.

"Well, then let's go back, and bring the soldiers to the border first, so that I can also report the situation to my majesty." Gan Qi grinned, this kind of thing, there is no evidence, you have to transfer the soldiers and horses, you can't intimidate the past with empty words.

You intimidate others, you have to pay a little price, don't you? Make a gesture.

Xiao Hu was stunned, he thought that he would see a sincerely frightened Ganqi, but he didn't expect to see a scoundrel Ganqi.

Xiao Hu knew the manpower and material resources required to dispatch troops for this kind of thing, and he said: "If you don't see the coffin, you won't shed tears, when the time comes, millions of soldiers and horses will gather, I'm afraid that your Song people will be scared, if there is a case, don't run away!" ”

Xiao Hu didn't believe it, and Gan Qi was not afraid if he didn't believe it.

"If you don't run, you can't run, if there is really a million soldiers and horses opposite Xiongzhou, there is a chance that this official will have to be ordered by the emperor to send an envoy to Liao, and I will see you when the time comes." Gan Qi replied.

Xiao Hu brushed his sleeves away again: "Don't dare to come!" ”

This time, Xiao Hu brushed his sleeves away, not angry in his heart, but happy. Gan Qi is the messenger, it couldn't be better, such a good opportunity, when the time comes, Xiao Hu must humiliate Gan Qi in Liao State.

Thinking of these, Xiao Hu still had some expectations in his heart, and hurried back, Emperor Liao was also coming from Dading Mansion in Zhongjing to Yanjing City at this time.

To say that the emperor of the Liao people is actually very difficult to be, mainly because he is busy, busy in several capitals, and the main reason is the problem of "one country, two systems". Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, located in the east of the Great Xing'an Mountains, is also on the edge of the grassland, the Liao Emperor wants to live there from time to time, there is also the base camp of the Liao State, and the North Privy Council is there.

If you really want to say that Liao is one country, two systems, in fact, it is not appropriate, if you really want to divide the territory of Liao, it can actually be divided into three parts. One is the "Three Northeast Provinces" region of later generations, one is the grassland, and the other is the sixteen states of Yanyun.

From time to time, all the Liao emperors had to live in Zhongjing Dading Mansion, which was the center of the "three northeastern provinces", and the origin of the word Liaodong was at this time, which means the eastern region of the Liao country. The Ming Dynasty continued to use this word, and it was also called Liaodong. In the Qing Dynasty, it was mostly called "outside the Guan", outside the Shanhaiguan.

The last piece of land is in the sixteen states of Yanyun, the center is Yanjing City, the Liao Emperor gets Yanjing City to live in from time to time, especially when the front line is going to fight, the Liao Emperor will inevitably come to Yanjing City.

Therefore, it is very difficult to maintain the rule of the Liao State, so difficult that the emperor has to be "exhausted", which is why the Liao royal family has frequent turmoil in history, the emperor went to the north, and someone in the south conspired to make trouble, and the emperor went to the south, and someone in the north conspired to make trouble.

Therefore, the emperor of the Liao State also slowly learned to be smart, began to merge the north and the south, and also began to engage in one country and one system, and began to learn the system of the Great Song Dynasty.

Why study the Great Song Dynasty? Because although the Great Song Dynasty has a vast area, there are also Nanjing, Beijing, Xijing, and Tokyo, but the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty has always lived in Tokyo, and he never has to walk around, and the country is fine, and there are no other people in the capital who are staring at the throne all day long to make trouble, and they have to learn.

However, even if the Liao State learned this, after all, he still learned a little bit of the skin, and did not understand the real secrets, and the hidden danger of the problem was still not eliminated, so the Liao Emperor still had to be exhausted.

Finally, the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji wanted to be lazy, live in the palace courtyard, take a rest, hunt or something, sure enough, the thief came, and the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, the imperial uncle Yelu Chongyuan, almost killed Yelu Hongji in the palace courtyard.

From then on, Yelu Hongji was even more exhausted.

Yelu Hongji wanted to come to Yanjing, but it was not all because he wanted to intimidate the Great Song Dynasty, even if there was no diplomatic incident, he still had to come to inspect the work of Yelu Yixin, the privy envoy of the south. Otherwise, Yelu Yixin didn't see Emperor Liao for a long time, and he was afraid that he would forget the emperor's prestige, and there would be something in his heart that he shouldn't have.

The emperor is coming, and the "King of the Southern Courtyard" Yelu Yixin is also in a hurry, the emperor is coming, the queen and the crown prince will come, and Yelu Yixin feels that his enemy opponent is also coming. In history, Yelu Yixin and the crown prince were not immune to this and poured each other to death.

In history, it was not Yelu Yixin who died, but the queen and the crown prince were both killed by Yelu Yixin. Even Yelu Yixin was ready to kill the prince's son Yelu Yanxi, but he was finally killed by Yelu Hongji, Yelu Yanxi ascended the throne, and then the Liao State died at the hands of Yelu Yanxi.

If you really want to talk about it, Yelu Yixin is also an amazing character, Yunwen Yunwu, brave and strategic, and ruthless. A foreign minister can kill the crown prince without incident, and the means are unimaginably strong.

If there is an assumption, assuming that Yelu Yixin really killed the emperor's grandson Yelu Yanxi, and he himself ascended the throne as the emperor, the Liao State may not necessarily be destroyed, and Yelu Yixin's ability is much more clever than Yelu Yanxi.

It was Yelu Yanxi who led the so-called 700,000 troops to conquer Wanyan Aguta, and was beaten by 10,000 or 20,000 Wanyan Agu, who had already risen, and lost his armor. However, there are also reasons for this, when Yelu Yanxi led his troops to fight against the Jurchens, there were people in Shangjing who rebelled and wanted to be the emperor of Liao.

It can be regarded as a blessing from God.

Liaoguo, in fact, died in three pieces of territory, Shangjing is in charge of the grassland, Zhongjing is in charge of Liaodong, and Nanjing (Yanjing) is in charge of Yanyun. If we dig deeper into the reason, the main reason is that the political ideology of the Chinese people is not in place, and the officials cannot unify their thinking like the Great Song Dynasty, so they all learn from the sages and Confucianism, and are loyal and filial piety from an early age.

If you really want to learn all about this Great Song Dynasty, then you should emphasize literature and defense of martial arts, first cultivate literati who are loyal and filial piety and etiquette, and then suppress the martial arts to the death. There won't be so much civil strife in Liao.

In fact, I really want to compare, in the end, Song Liao, who is good and who is bad? Song asked for comfort, and Liao maintained the tradition of his beginning, the warriors were strong, and even the Khitans were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, they had to learn to be skilled in bows and horses.

Song did not kill Liao, and Liao did not destroy Song.

Song died in comfort, and Liao died in turmoil.

In this day and age, it seems, almost, probably...... There is no compromise between the two worlds.

This may be the limitation of the times.

Xiao Hu went back and greeted the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji in Yanjing.

Yelu Hongji came, and the first thing was to make Yelu Yixin the king of Wei first, and coax Yelu Yixin to value Yelu Yixin so much, that is, let Yelu Yixin be in the emperor's grace, be loyal, and don't do anything.

Yelu Yixin was naturally grateful, took out his heart, and vowed to be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and he would die without regrets!

Emperor Yelu Hongji naturally wants to express his trust in Yelu Yixin, between the monarch and the minister, it is called a harmonious friendship.

Harmony and friendship, then it is time to discuss the matter and start the court.

At the court meeting, Xiao Hu, as a party concerned, was angry and tearful: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty...... The Song people have long forgotten the power of my Great Liao, so ...... The minister made the Song Dynasty, lost face, delivered the letter of state, and was even more despised by the Song people, the minister was incompetent, and the minister was guilty of death! ”

Xiao Hu slammed his head on the ground.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty knew about things before, but they didn't hear Xiao Hu say it with tears in his eyes, of course, it was also to add fuel and vinegar.

After listening to it at this time, they were all angry.

Ye Luren, the privy envoy of the Northern Court, spoke angrily first: "The southerners have no form, deceive me Khitan, Your Majesty, this matter must not be swallowed!" ”

The crown prince Yelu Jun also spoke: "Give the southerners a lesson!" ”

"It is necessary to ask for an explanation and teach the southerners to take the land to compensate!"

"Raise troops, and ask Your Majesty to give an order to raise troops!"

……

Yelu Hongji looked at the indignation of the Manchu Dynasty, he was actually angry, a good Khitan was killed in Bianliang, if this kind of thing passed like this, how could those Song people still take the Liao State seriously in the future?

Yelu Hongji said slowly: "In the past, when the first emperor was alive, how could the Song people dare to do this? Today, when I ascended the throne, these Song people will not take me in their eyes, if this continues, then what face will I have to see my ancestors and ancestors? ”

This sentence is also what Yelu Hongji really thinks in his heart. When Liao Xingzong was alive, the Song people were almost weak and deceitful, and when Liao Xingzong was angry, the Song people sent people to send money to please them in every way. Now that he has been replaced by Yelu Hongji, this incident has happened, and for Yelu Hongji, he only feels that he has not received respect. How can an emperor not be angry if he is not respected?

When Yelu Yixin saw that the emperor said this, the time had come to show his loyalty, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, under the Southern Privy Council, there are as many as 170,000 men and horses that can be mobilized, and within a month and a half, they will be able to gather and suppress the Southern Dynasty." ”

Yelu Hongji nodded when he heard this: "Give an order, mobilize soldiers and horses, and go to Xiongzhou to perform martial arts!" ”

Military exercises are aimed at conducting military exercises.

"Yes!" Yelu Yixin is actually willing to do this, the transfer of soldiers and horses is good for him, the biggest benefit is to let him control Yanyun's soldiers and horses more quickly, among the generals, he wants to replace, in this exercise, just find a reason. If you don't deploy troops on such a large scale, it will be difficult to make excuses if you want to replace many disobedient people.

The crown prince Yelujun came out at this time and said: "Father, the son is willing to work with the Southern Privy Envoy to handle this matter and personally go to the front line to supervise. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yelu Yixin immediately looked at Yelu Jun, there was no expression on the surface, but there was a lot of turmoil in his heart.

Yelu Hongji looked at the indignation of the Manchu Dynasty, he was actually angry, a good Khitan was killed in Bianliang, if this kind of thing passed like this, how could those Song people still take the Liao State seriously in the future?

Yelu Hongji said slowly: "In the past, when the first emperor was alive, how could the Song people dare to do this? Today, when I ascended the throne, these Song people will not take me in their eyes, if this continues, then what face will I have to see my ancestors and ancestors? ”
