Chapter 123: The Alliance of Celebration (3)

Entering September, the positions of the two sides of Song and Liao rapidly approached. There are only minutiae left.

The disagreement is mainly concentrated in the Book of Alliance, the respective titles of the Great Song and the Great Liao.

The Liao side insisted on using the titles of the Great Liao Emperor of China and the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty of China, and asked the Great Song side to allow the ministers of the Great Liao State to go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices.

He also said that this is the final position of Liao, and there must not be a single word of change.

The Great Song Dynasty naturally resolutely disagreed.

thinks that the Yelu clan of Liaoguo was originally born in the Khitans, how can it be called China? How can you sacrifice Mount Tai like the Chinese Son of Heaven?

The Liao side retorted that Li Cunmao from the Tang Dynasty before and after was a native of Shatuo, but he was also the Son of Heaven of China.

Now, the Son of Heaven of Daliao respects Kong Chongwen, cultivates rituals and laws, and is polite in cultural relics, why can't he be the Son of Heaven in China?

Does the Chinese Son of Heaven still need to talk about bloodline?

Didn't Confucius say it?

Yi Di into China is China!

The Great Song Dynasty naturally became sophistry, and Fu Bi told Yelu Zongzhen that Li Cunmao could be the Son of Heaven in China, and that was because he was canonized by the Tang Dynasty, and he had always been loyal to the Tang Dynasty, and Zhu Wen established the country after the destruction of the Tang Dynasty.

The Liao State did not have the canonization of the Tang Dynasty, so naturally there could be no talk of inheriting the Chinese law.

For this statement, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State naturally scoffed.

They only said the name of one person, which left Fu Bi speechless - Shi Jingjiao.

The founding lord of the Later Jin Dynasty relied on Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang to seize power.

Fu Bi reported back to Bianjing and told the persistence of the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State.

Therefore, Zhao Zhen could only convene a meeting in front of the emperor to discuss this matter.

It's a pity that after several meetings in a row, the monarch and the ministers couldn't come up with a way, so they had to let Fu Bi decide on his own. What can Fu Bi do?

In the face of the day and night pressure of the Liao monarchs and ministers, as well as intimidation and intimidation.

He had no choice but to take the blame and agreed to the request of the Liao people, but he only rejected the condition that the Liao State could send people to Mount Tai to sacrifice.

From there, by September 13, the Song and Liao sides reached a formal covenant.

The content of the covenant, stripped of the rhetoric and explanations of the respective positions, has four main contents.

First, the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao are about brothers, among them, the Great Song Dynasty is the elder brother and the Great Liao is the younger brother, and the Great Song Dynasty still gives the younger brother of the Great Liao Emperor 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk as pocket money every year in accordance with the agreement of the Yuanyuan Alliance.

Second, both the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao Dynasty can use the Chinese title, and both agree that the two sides have some different views on the relevant history, but the two countries have decided to abandon their past suspicions and look forward in unison.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty did not openly oppose the use of the name of the Son of Heaven by the Great Liao to the outside world, but the Liao State could not and could interfere with the internal expression of the Liao State in the Great Song Dynasty.

Third: The Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty believed that the actions taken by the younger brother of the Great Liao Emperor in relation to Goguryeo, Bohai and other affairs were reasonable and necessary. It will be ordered to revise the history of the country, change some erroneous expressions of the Eastern Expedition of Emperor Shengzong of the Great Liao in the past, and make amendments in accordance with the opinions of the Great Liao.

Fourth, the Great Liao could sell cattle, sheep, livestock, and fur products with a total value of no less than 200,000 guan to the Great Song Dynasty every year, and the Great Song Dynasty had to trade silk, tea, and other commodities of equivalent value.

Privately, of course, there are several secret clauses.

The main content is that the Great Song Dynasty must send imperial physicians to the Liao State to impart techniques and knowledge about the pox method, and must ensure that this matter will never be mentioned and must never be made public.

In addition, the Great Song Dynasty had to regularly send people to transcribe the latest works of relevant literati and celebrities designated by the Liao State in China and send them to the Liao State.

As a result, the new covenant was sent to Bianjing.

In September (19), Zhao Zhen officially sealed the covenant, and then ordered someone to send the covenant to Waqiaoguan, where the Song and Liao sides would complete the exchange of contracts.

The two sides of Song and Liao unexpectedly reached an agreement quickly.

The clouds of war quickly disappeared from the sky over Hebei, and the Daimyo's mansion prospered again.

And during the whole process, Li Yuanhao, who was in Xingqing Mansion, was dumbfounded.

His mood has also experienced a rollercoaster of excitement.

From surprise and ecstasy to loss, disappointment, and despair, it took just over three months.

As a result, his own attitude towards the Liao people also quickly took a sharp turn!

After learning that Song Liao had changed the contract, Li Yuanhao frantically smashed the Liao items in his bedroom, the fault was that the princess married by the Liao State had already died of illness, and I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape his claws.

Yeli Wangrong, who had just returned from the Liao State envoy, kowtowed tremblingly and said: "The matter has come to this point, please calm your anger ......."

"Useless guy!" Yuan Hao scolded loudly, no matter how he looked at Yeli Wangrong, if it weren't for his two elder brothers, Yeli Rongren and Yeli Yuqi who now have heavy troops in their hands, and they are his right-hand men, Yuan Hao would have drawn his sword and cut this minister who could not complete the separation of Song and Liao for him.

Even so, Yuan Hao grabbed Yeli Wangrong and beat him, and Yeli Wangrong's nose and face were swollen, so he could only kneel on the ground upright and let him vent.

"Go and call Rong Ren and Yu Qi to me!" Yuan Hao scolded and scolded for a while, but he had no strength, and ordered out of breath.

"No!" Yeli Wangrong is like being pardoned.

Soon, Yeli Rongren and Yeli Yuqi, who were waiting outside the hall, came to Yuan Hao, and they knelt down and kowtowed tremblingly: "Wushu, did you call us?" ”

"Don't kneel......" Yuan Hao had almost vented at this time, calmed down, and waved his hand to greet the two brothers: "Get up for me!" ”

Then, Yuan Hao took the two brothers to a map that was hung on the wall of the palace.

"I've been thinking about it for a long time,...... Yuan Hao said, "I can't be passive like this anymore...... All the tribes have already complained, and if this continues, I am afraid that in the spring of next year, some people from the tribe will flee to Tibet, the Song Dynasty, and the Liao Kingdom......"

In fact, these situations have already begun to occur.

The so-called Great White High Kingdom established by Yuan Hao was congenitally insufficient, it was just a tribal alliance, and since the era of Li Jiqian, it has the characteristics of a little ethnic group.

But it was an alliance of violence and marriage.

After Yuan Hao ascended the throne, he also relied on bloody suppression, massacres and bribery to maintain unity.

But in fact, many tribes and even nobles do not agree with the so-called Great White High Kingdom.

As soon as the stomach is full, the escape will appear immediately.

Just like now, on the borders of Song, Xia, Xia, and Liao, there will be herdsmen from the tribes every day, taking advantage of the night, to flee into each other's territory. The fugitives even ran in the direction of Tibet!

Even though Yuan Hao repeatedly ordered and publicly executed many fugitives who were caught, there was still a steady stream of fugitives.

The people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death!

"Vulture, fight there?" Of course, Yeli Rongren and Yeli Yuqi also knew the current situation in the country, so they didn't talk nonsense and asked directly.

"Here!" Yuan Hao's hand pointed to a place on the map and hammered it hard.

That's Qinzhou!
