076 Golden Envoy Early Dynasty Offering Sheep Essence
In 1115 A.D., Aguta was officially proclaimed emperor in Huining (now Acheng, Heilongjiang). From then on, the Liao State declared war on the Jin State, wanting to destroy it in one fell swoop. However, after fighting back and forth, the Jin Kingdom was not only not wiped out, but also became stronger day by day. The Liao State was afraid of fighting on both sides, so it took the initiative to show favor to the Great Song Dynasty; In order to win foreign aid, Jin also approached the Great Song Dynasty.
As soon as the envoys of the Liao State left, the envoys of the Jin State arrived. In this way, Zhao Ji was excited, Da Song has never been so important. Generally speaking, he is inclined to Lianjin, and for many years, Boss Liao has deceived people too much, and the time has come for revenge.
There are two main Jin envoys: one is Wan Yanhei, a nobleman of the Jin Kingdom, and the other is Yang Zuzhong, whose ancestor was originally a Han Chinese. They traveled thousands of miles to bring a treasure - a strange sheep. Kim is a nomadic democracy, with herds of cattle and sheep, and it is not difficult to pick out a few oddly shaped animals. But this strange sheep is still quite peculiar. In short, one body and two heads.
When the Liao envoy arrived, Zhao Ji did not meet him personally, but just asked Cai Jing to deal with it. The arrival of the envoy of the Jin State made Zhao Ji unable to sit still, and when he heard that strange sheep were sent, he met them in Genyue. As soon as Yan Hei and Yang Zuzhong entered the garden, their eyes were not enough. The Great Song Dynasty actually has such a beautiful garden, it is like a fairyland.
Zhao Ji took the important ministers to meet the two golden envoys in Shaohua Palace. At first, Wan Yanhei was still a little unhappy, feeling that the Great Song Emperor didn't pay attention to him, but the more he walked deeper into the garden, the more he felt that this was a good place. At this time, it was the sixth month of the lunar calendar, and the weather was very hot. Jin Ren is resistant to cold or heat, and he sits in a sedan chair with a black face and is full of sweat. I thought to myself, this time I went to the Great Song Dynasty, and if I was tired, I would have to die of heat.
Coming to the gate of Shaohua Palace, Tong Guan invited Yan Hei and Yang Zuzhong to get off the sedan chair and enter the palace hand in hand. A cold air hit, and the pores of the black sweat tightened, and the body and mind suddenly became comfortable, as if they had drunk a scoop of ice water in June. I saw the green grass miserable, the flowers were clustered, and the grass and flowers were bleaching white......
Wan Yanhei couldn't help but ask: "Master Tong, why is it so cool here?" ”
Tong Guan smiled and said, "Behind the flowers and plants are all ice. ”
"Where did the ice come from on such a hot day?"
"In winter, the ice in the river is collected, put in an ice cellar dozens of feet deep, and when it is hot, it is taken out and used."
Wan Yanhei suddenly understood, and felt that Song Ren would really enjoy it.
Wan Yanhei and the others saw Zhao Ji and offered gifts. Zhao Ji didn't look at anything else, but the two-headed sheep aroused his strong interest.
"This sheep has two heads, it's so interesting!" Zhao Ji got down from the dragon chair and watched carefully, "Is it a male, is it a female?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this sheep is male." The Chinese language spoke very fluently.
"How do two-headed sheep eat?"
"It's about the same as a single sheep."
Wan Yanhe said as he took out the grass from his leather bag and sprinkled it on the pot. The two-headed sheep do not fight, you eat yours, I eat mine, but they can live in peace.
"It's a pity, it's a pity! If it's three sheep, even better! Zhao Ji sighed.
"Your Majesty, whether it is your Great Song Dynasty or our Jin Kingdom, there is a word - called good things come in pairs!" Wan Yan Hei hurriedly said.
"Smooth sailing, two dragons competing, Sanyang Kaitai, four seasons Lejia, five blessings, six arts Xingda, seven stars, eight immortals boasting each other, nine songs of the Yellow River, one billion people, Bangsheng Min'an, picturesque ......"
"Your Majesty is really a good deal! As far as I know, the yang of 'Sanyang Kaitai' is the yang of the sun. "Zhou Yi" called the Yang hexagram of the line, the broken one for the Yin hexagram, the first month of the year for the Thai hexagram, and the three yangs were born in the next; Winter goes to spring, yin disappears and yang grows, and there is the image of auspiciousness. It is often used to praise the beginning of the year or to imply auspiciousness. ”
"You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. Yang and sheep can be used universally, especially in the Year of the Goat, the Spring Festival couplets will be written on the horizontal batch - Sanyang Kaitai. Zhao Ji said while gesturing.
Wan Yanhei was speechless for a while.
Yang Zuzhong was very clever, sat in front of the two-headed sheep, put his head in the middle of the head of the two-headed sheep, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, my name is Yang Zuzhong, and I belong to the sheep." One of my heads plus two heads of sheep is not three sheep Kaitai! ”
Zhao Ji was overjoyed when he heard it: "Yes, that's what it means, Sanyang Kaitai, Sanyang Kaitai!" ”
It attracted the great joy of the ministers of the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Jiyi was happy, sent a lot of good things to the envoy of the Jin Kingdom, and felt that the courtesy was light, and used his thin gold body to copy a poem by Liu Yong's "Wanghai Tide Southeast Shape Sheng" to show the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty-
The southeast shape wins, the three Wu capitals, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times, the smoke willow painting bridge, the wind curtain and green curtain, and the difference of 100,000 people. The clouds and trees surround the embankment sand, the angry waves roll frost and snow, and the moat is endless. The city is a jewel, the household is profitable, and the competition is luxurious.
Heavy lakes are stacked on top of each other. There are three autumn laurels and ten miles of lotus. Qiang tube clear, Lingge flooded the night, frolicking and fishing lotus baby. Thousands of horsemen have high teeth. Listen to the flute and drum while drunk, and enjoy the smoke. The picture of the different day will be good, and return to Fengchi Kua.
After watching it, I was happy to dance. Yang Zuzhong wept bitterly.
"Envoy Yang, why are you crying?" Zhao Ji asked with concern.
"Your Majesty, you don't know. My ancestors have lived in Hangzhou for generations, and my greatest wish is to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors......" Yang Zuzhong said with a handful of snot and tears.
"I also want to go to Jiangnan for a walk and enjoy the scenery of Shangguo." Wan Yanhei also said sincerely.
"This is easy to do, I will send someone to send you to Jiangnan and have a good time. Don't be busy going back, eat my Jiangnan braised lion's head and stewed puffer fish. Take a tour of the ten scenic spots of West Lake and take a look at the tide of the Qiantang River......"
The Jin envoy retreated, and Taiwei Su immediately reminded Zhao Ji and said, "Your Majesty, you can't let Jin Shi go to Jiangnan!" They saw not only the scenery along the way, but also the military fortresses! ”
Zhao Ji smiled and said, "Su Aiqing, you are too worried. Sooner or later, we will have to form an alliance with the Jin country, and we will become a brotherly country. Let the brothers take a look, why not? ”
"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Jin is a country of tigers and wolves, and you must not ally with it."
"Could it be that Liao is a good bird? Okay, let's discuss, is it better to form an alliance with Liao or Jin? ”
Everyone was gossiping and talking. It is roughly divided into three factions, one is in favor of an alliance with Liao, one is in favor of an alliance with Jin, and the other is a centrist, which is not in alliance with anyone, and will wait and see.
"Tong Aiqing, I want to hear your high opinions." Zhao Ji said by name.
Don't look at Tong Guan as a eunuch, but he is extremely ambitious. Song Taizu once left a last word, who can take back the sixteen states of Yanyun, and a different surname can also be crowned king. His ultimate goal is to become king.
"Your Majesty, in my opinion: there are disadvantages and advantages to Lianliao's resistance to gold, but the disadvantages outweigh the advantages; Lianjin extinguishes Liao, there are disadvantages and advantages, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages! Tong Guan raised his voice and said.
"As soon as Liao is destroyed, there will be no barrier between my Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom!" Captain Su shouted.
"Tong Aiqing, Su Aiqing is also reasonable!" Zhao Ji looked at Tong Guan and said.
Tong Guan patted his chest and said: "Your Majesty, if we destroy Liao with Jin, we will naturally take back the sixteen states including Yanyun." With the sixteen states of Yan, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan, Shun, Yun, Confucianism, Concubine, Wu, Xin, Wei, Ying, Huan, and Shuo, it is the natural barrier of my Great Song Dynasty, and there is no need to be afraid of any copper country, silver country, and gold country! ”
Zhao Ji nodded and said, "This matter is very important, and we will discuss it later." ”
