In addition to going to court, painting, and playing with concubines, Zhao Ji feels that these days are the most accomplished days since he became emperor. The sixteen states of Youyun, the seven states in front of the mountain have been exhausted, this Northern Expedition, the meritorious soldiers and ministers have been rewarded, the most gratifying thing is that there is no need to spend any silver taels, just to give these meritorious ministers some official positions.

And to their own name of the Liao people, in addition to their own Bianjing City and the Jin envoy made a big fuss, other times are still rules, more than half a month ago, the north of the people also sent someone to hand over the letter of state, saying that the princess of Shu Yelu Yu Liyan and the concubine Zhou Nan established a new Liao State, with Yanjing, Pingzhou area, the horse and the princess changed to the king, queen. Zhao Ji also ordered someone to return the letter to the New Liao State in accordance with the etiquette system, and there was nothing else, and he has always been honest.

Since there is such a successful step, Zhao Ji of course thinks about how to ask the Jin people to return to Kyushu after the mountain, after all, across the Taihang Mountain, the Wansheng army can't beat it, Shuo, Wu, Ying, Wei, and Yun are still in the Jin people's sphere of influence, or are occupied by the Jin people.

After Zhou Nanna became a vassal domain, Zhao Ji sent an envoy to see the Jin Emperor Wanyan Aguta, and asked when the Shanhou Kyushu would be returned according to the agreement between the two countries. During the Shangyuan Lantern Festival, the Jin envoy Ulu came to see him and brought a message from Aguta, saying, "Just take the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi and stop the soldiers, and then return it." ”

Ah Gu's reply made Zhao Ji's heart itch. Zhou Nan's Naming Domain, after all, is separated by one layer. If you can directly take back Kyushu behind the mountain, it will be endless.

Finally, half a month later, Zhao Ji didn't care whether the envoys sent last time were tired or not, so he repaired another letter of state and sent someone to the Emperor of Jin, so as to get a letter on the matter of returning the Kyushu after the mountain.

Today at the Zichen Palace, Zhao Ji summoned the envoy of the Jin State, Brunn, who came from the sea to Dengzhou and came ashore from Dengzhou.

"More than half a month ago, I was still General Uru, why did I change General Bruen this time?" After a polite answer, Zhao Ji asked casually.

"Just because Ulu acted recklessly, he couldn't solve my emperor's worries, so he was guilty and demoted." Compared to Uru, Brune looked more like a scholar who had read a lot of poetry.

"Why don't you come from Hedong Road, but enter from the vast sea of smoke?" After a polite answer, Zhao Ji asked casually, because the last time the messenger exchanged, the Emperor of the Jin State was still in Fengshengzhou, so he naturally had to go from Hedong Road, and if he took the sea route, he would go around in a big circle.

Bruen stood up and said with a solemn expression: "My Great Emperor died in the Xixing Palace, and the special dispatch is under the command to inform His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. All the generals outside the country returned to the dynasty with the mound Zai Wu begging, and sent the emperor's holy body back to the country for a big burial. ”

"The emperor of your country is in the prime of spring and autumn, and it is a pity that he sees that the great cause is about to be completed, but he returns to the sky. , Wang Qing's family, you are the embassy companion, General Bruen is the first time to come, you must take care of it. Bruin and Wang Hao in the lobby hurriedly thanked the two of them and agreed. After Zhao Ji heard that Yan Agu was killed, although he was strange in his heart, he comforted him. Ah Gu died when he was killed, but Ah Gu promised to return the matter of returning the mountain to Kyushu, but now who are he going to go to?! Thinking of this, Zhao Ji was disappointed for a while, but now it was not suitable to ask this topic, so he had to be depressed.

"When he came down, Tsukasa Zai Wu begged to buy and asked: Why did the Wansheng army attack our army and block Yuguan?" Bruen asked unceremoniously.

"I don't know about Wanshengjun's blockage of Yuguan. Moreover, the Wansheng Army is the army of the vassal state, not under the control of our dynasty. Cai Youjian talked about the army and stood up and replied.

"Your country is so shirking, don't you know that this newly submissive vassal state has already established itself as the new Liao State?" Bruen asked Cai You with a sneer.

Wang Haoqiang argued: "The new Liao country, my dynasty naturally knows. It's just that Yanjing is a projectile land, so what's the harm in calling the country? Moreover, the princess and the concubine just call themselves queens and kings, which shows that they have the meaning of respecting our dynasty. ”

"The Wansheng army is very ambitious, there is no need to talk about recruiting troops, just look at the flying cars and bombing arrows, how can your army resist? In the next retirement. When Bruen saw that Wang Hao was defending the New Liao Kingdom and the Wansheng Army, he immediately bowed his words and withdrew, and was taken back to the post house.

"Wang Qing's family, Cai Qing's family, what can this new Liao country do in the near future?" Zhao Ji was not at ease after all, and after Bruen left, he asked Wang Hao and Cai You.

"Back to the saint, this golden envoy is telling the truth, I heard that the Wansheng army only relied on 10,000 horses to repel the 20,000 troops of the invincible general Lou Mur, you must be guarded against!" Wang Hao saw that Zhao Ji was worried, so he said deliberately.

"Holy Lord, the minister heard that the new Liao State issued a new policy to encourage farming, borrow cattle and horses and farm tools to farmers, and open up wasteland and cultivate fields. In the Wuqing area, they even learned from our dynasty and opened paddy fields on the edge of the Jiehe River to store water and grow rice. In this way, it can be seen that he admires my education and obeys my system. It is really a holy blessing to the sky, and Ze is a vassal country! Seeing that Wang Huang was exaggerating, Cai You hurriedly stood up and corrected it.

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Zhao Ji heard this and asked happily.

"Exactly!"

"That Zhou Nan also led people to cruise the Jiehe River on a military boat, and he must have a bad heart!" Wang Hao immediately said, "Holy Lord, the message from the minister's Jingfu room is coming today, and the minister has not had time to report to the saint. ”

"Presumably, it is just to inspect the border passes, and besides, if the new Liao country has bad intentions, why should it dig its own roads and open fields north of the Jiehe River to store water and grow rice?" Cai You immediately retorted.

In this way, Wang Huangden had nothing to say. Since the beginning of the Taizong Dynasty, in order to resist the Liao soldiers on the borders of Xiongxian and Cangzhou, the Great Song Dynasty took advantage of the topography to open fields and store water and plant rice. Patches of paddy fields have become the quagmire of the Liao cavalry, coupled with the dense woods and border villages on the border line, which together have become a favorable terrain to prevent the Liao army from attacking.

If it is said that the New Liao State encouraged the people within the border line to open up their fields and grow rice, such a fact can make people believe more than any explanation: the New Liao State will never send troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty!

Cai Qingjia's words are very reasonable. Needless to say! Zhao Ji finally said, "The pacification of Hedong Road made Zhang Xiaochun come to Zazi, saying that the Jin army in Yingzhou and Ulzhou is frequently mobilized today, and everyone knows what the Jin people mean?" ”

"Don't worry." Wang Hao was defeated by Cai You in front of Zhao Ji just now, and hurriedly stood up and said: "The Jin people garrisoned troops in the Yunzhong area, and their intention was to capture the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi. The Jin people mobilized troops and horses in Yingzhou and Ulzhou, and it must have been the Liao emperor who appeared there. Yelu Yanxi has not been held for a day, and the Liao State has not been destroyed for a day, and Yanjing can only be called the new Liao State. Besides, the old emperor of the Jin Kingdom has just died, where is there a big fight on the day of national filial piety?! ”

"That being the case, Zhang Xiaochun can pay more attention to the movements of the Jin army. Scatter the dynasty! Zhao Ji finally put his mind at ease and went back to the harem.
