In fact, in this matter, Li Chengji is just pushing the boat along the water.

Because the Mongolian merchant group came on this trip, they came prepared. It not only brought many rare treasures unique to Mongolia, but also presented a pair of Liaodong's divine eagles - Haidongqing.

That's an amazing thing!

Before the westward migration of the Great Liao, the rulers of successive dynasties set up eagle hunting envoys in the eastern part of Liao. The Jurchens were also ordered to pay tribute every year.

Later, Wanyan Agu raised an army against Liao, and there was a reason why Haidongqing was becoming increasingly scarce, and the eagle catcher made a deadline to ask for tribute.

It can also be seen from this that Hai Dongqing's position in the hearts of the rulers of the Great Liao.

Now that the Mongolian mission presents this Haidongqing, which has been cut off for nearly a hundred years, its significance is extraordinary.

In addition, Mahmut said that he agreed, so no matter how Li Shichang obstructed it, the trade matter was very likely to pass.

Li Chengji believes that his father, Li Shichang, also understands what he has done and has little effect. But as a minister, you must eat the king's fortune and do things that are loyal to the king. Even if you know that there is little hope, you should do your best to admonish.

In the end, the threat of Mongolia can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. Even before the Great Liao moved westward, all the Mongolian tribes were friendly with the Great Liao. It doesn't mean that we will be at peace forever. Looking at the past dynasties, after the rise of the grassland tribes, the threat to the surrounding areas made Li Shichang even more vigilant.

Proceeding from national interests, he tried his best to contain the rise of Mongolia.

Compared with it, Mahmutebai, who was born as a businessman, seems to be too vain to disregard the country's righteousness. Just because Mongolia gave some commercial convenience, they were bent on promoting trade. I didn't think at all that doing so would be detrimental to Da Liao.

However, although Li Chengji despised Mahmutebai's selfishness, he did not object to his approach. Because in his heart, he also has no sense of identity with Da Liao. Therefore, after seeing that Li Shichang's opposition was in vain, he took the initiative to propose trade to him.

and trumpeted the feud between Meng and Jin to try his best to eliminate Li Shichang's resistance.

When Yelu Ahai came out of the camp with a smile on his face, Li Chengji knew that the matter was done. He returned to his tent and considered the dispatch of the caravans.

In this way, when the sky was getting dark, Li Chengji had a plan in his heart.

At this time, the first palace banquet of the autumn hunt was about to begin. Under the urging of Zhuqing, he hurriedly bathed and changed clothes.

When you come to the shore of the lake, there are more than a dozen bonfires, emitting an orange-red light. Reflecting the clear surface of the lake, it is bright and translucent. Roasted whole lambs, which have been skinned and sleek, are set up on the bonfire. The orange piece of meat is very appetizing.

At the same time, the square tables have been arranged in a square around the bonfire. There are some pastry fruit plates on top, which is considered an appetizer.

It's just that the court officials, the envoys of the vassal countries, and the tribal chiefs present did not sit down. Because the emperor of Da Liao has not yet arrived.

After waiting like this for nearly half an hour, the emperor still did not appear. However, the queen's attendants ran over and asked Ma Hemut to worship and Li Shichang to go to their own camp.

"Hahaha... I guess Your Majesty, eighty percent went hunting. Gazing at the solemn expression of the attendant, he said with some smugness.

Shi Malin nodded and responded: "I heard my father say that His Majesty especially loves to ride and shoot." Often disguised and secretly took his attendants to hunt in the suburbs. Today, I'm afraid I can't bear it, and I went without telling the palace people. ”。

Li Chengji knew that the emperor of Da Liao loved hunting, but it was really unbelievable that he was so obsessed. However, Xiao Zi told him that nine years later, the emperor would be usurped for hunting, and he took it for granted.

As he was talking, Mahmut Tebai and Li Shichang both walked out.

Faced with the doubts of the courtiers, envoys, and chiefs, they said with some embarrassment on their faces, Your Majesty has gone hunting, and after a while, he will come back.

Of course, this is just a pretext! Because they haven't found the emperor either, let alone know when the emperor will return.

So another hour passed, and the whole sky was changed to black. Because there are very few clouds, the stars in the sky are hanging in the sky. Drinking and feasting in such an environment is indeed a unique artistic conception.

It's just that the emperor hasn't appeared yet, and everyone can't sit down. Li Chengji could only endure the hunger in his stomach and wait with his body.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and a team of torches appeared at Taniguchi.

Soon a servant rushed to the crowd and shouted that the Holy Rider had arrived.

In an instant, everyone knelt down and bowed down with a respectful salute.

After that, Li Chengji finally sat down as he wished, and filled the hunger in his stomach with a big gulp.

Because of the large number of people participating in the autumn hunt, when the seats were arranged, the palace people divided the court officials and family members. For example, the emperor sat with high-ranking courtiers, envoys of various countries, and tribal chiefs. The queen sat at the same table with all the ladies.

Li Chengji also sat with them of the same age. There was a lot less restraint, and he ate a lot of food.

But the only thing that didn't go well was that Mlatili also sat with them. This made the atmosphere on the field somewhat tense.

The palace people who wanted to arrange the seats also knew that they were not dealing with them. So when arranging, make them face each other.

Although there is a bonfire, they are staring at each other, and there is a bit of tension.

It's just that considering the current occasion, both sides are more restrained. Even if they don't give in to each other in words, they still maintain the gentleman's demeanor of talking and not moving.

Until the wine has passed three rounds, the palace banquet is almost over. Kombas got up to untie his hands, and suddenly got into a scuffle with Turgand. Hearing the movement, Li Chengji and Mlatili hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Inevitably, it then evolved into a large-scale group fight.

On this occasion, it immediately came to the Holy Lord.

Immediately, everyone was fined 20 boards and closed for three days. But at the time of execution, the parties who hindered both sides were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries. So the board is also not painful to beat.

Lee Seung-ji doesn't feel anything! When he returned to the tent, he didn't even apply the ointment.

But there is no escaping the preaching that should be there. In the evening, I listened to Li Shichang's teachings of the sage. It wasn't until Li Chengji pretended to be ashamed to admit his mistake that Li Shichang gave up.

Lying on the bed, thinking about today's events, Li Chengji was irritable for no reason. Because, according to Khobas, Naturgan deliberately poured urine on him. In this way, it is a deliberate provocation.

Although with the grievances of both sides, this is nothing. But when he thought about the deliberate shooting of arrows during the day, he faintly felt that something was wrong.

But he had no clue what was wrong. He tossed and turned, and fell asleep very late.
