Chapter 718: Solicitation
The night is as cool as water, the capital has ushered in the most lively night market, most people have their own things to do during the day, there is no time to go shopping to accompany their families, but the night is idle, coupled with the security of the capital has been greatly improved, many main streets are hung with lanterns, so now the liveliness of the night market has already exceeded the daytime.
In a private room on the second floor of Huiwei Zhai, Li Zhang first demonstrated to Yeluren how to eat roast duck, and Yeluren first rolled up the dough in the same way, and then put it in his mouth and tasted it, and immediately praised it, he never thought that duck could be so delicious.
Li Zhang is also tired of eating roast duck, and the night scene outside is just right at this time, so he is also eating roast duck while looking at the night scene outside the window, this aftertaste is no longer the original one, but a branch opened by the Bianhe River, outside the window is the sparkling Bianhe River, there are also many boats on the river, the lantern on the bow of the boat exudes a hazy light, making a Bianhe River like the Milky Way in the sky.
Yelu Renxian also noticed Li Zhang at this time, and immediately followed his line of sight to look out the window, and when he saw the bustling night view of Tokyo City outside, he couldn't help but show a complicated look, even if their Liao Kingdom was the strongest, none of the five capitals could be compared with Tokyo Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention anything else, just a population, the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom plus one piece could only be compared with Tokyo City.
"The first good place in the Great Song Dynasty is simply not like the scenery of the world!" Ye Luren first looked at the scenery outside, and finally said with some emotion, although he had heard of the prosperity of Bianliang City before, but he could only compare it with Zhongjing or Nanjing in Liaoguo, but now when he saw it, he realized that his imagination was too lacking.
"Although the scenery is beautiful, there are always some people who want to break this beauty for their own ambitions." Li Zhang replied at this time, in order to maintain peace, the Great Song Dynasty paid New Year's coins to the Liao State every year, and this humiliation of exchanging money for peace was also entangled in the hearts of every Song people, but fortunately the Liao State was defeated later, which made the Song people have a sense of arrogance.
Hearing Li Zhang's words, Yeluren also looked at him deeply, and then replied: "Nanjing, my Great Liao, was also once prosperous, although it was not as good as Bianliang City, but it was also a famous city in the world, but now it is occupied by the Great Song Dynasty for no reason, don't forget this matter Dingbei Hou!" ”
"Haha~, Yanyun is the homeland of my Han people, when your Khitan took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains, Yanyun was cut away, and for hundreds of years, Yanyun has been threatening the Central Plains with Yanyun as a pedal, and now my Great Song Dynasty is just recovering the homeland!" Li Zhang also laughed when he heard this.
"Nonsense, my Great Liao inherited the Tang Dynasty, which was originally orthodox in the Central Plains, but it was your Great Song Dynasty who vainly tried to resist my Great Liao with the land of secession, if it wasn't for the benevolence of my Great Liao, I am afraid that I would have destroyed you as early as the time of the Yuanyuan!" Ye Luren also opened his eyes angrily when he heard Li Zhang's words, and the atmosphere between the two became a little tense.
"It's nonsense, your Khitan is just a small tribe that breeds horses for the Tang Dynasty, and you can't even count the Han people, what kind of orthodoxy is the Central Plains?" Li Zhang also retorted without showing weakness, he had already seen the self-proclaimed orthodox face of the Liao people, so he was not very angry at this time.
"You ......" Yelu Renxian originally wanted to argue, but thinking that now that Da Song is strong, even if he wins the debate, it is useless, which makes him sigh, "That's it, it's useless to talk about this kind of thing, but since Da Song intends to form an alliance, he naturally wants to live in peace with my Da Liao, I hope you Da Song can also show some sincerity!" ”
"Since we want to form an alliance, our Great Song Dynasty will naturally show our sincerity, but what I'm worried about is your Liao State, and now you all know the situation in Liao Kingdom, especially your Emperor Your Majesty, who only does things according to his own preferences, so I'm afraid this alliance won't last long." Li Zhang pointed out unceremoniously at this time.
In fact, the purpose of this alliance with the Liao State is only to deal with the party together, and it does not solve the contradiction between the Song and Liao countries, and Li Zhang does not intend to let this alliance last too long, it is estimated that Yelu Zongzhen also has the same idea, after all, with his arrogant nature, as long as his strength recovers, he will definitely tear up the alliance and take revenge on the Great Song Dynasty.
Yelu Ren first heard Li Zhang's words and showed a silent expression, he knew Yelu Zongzhen's character better than anyone else, and naturally knew that Li Zhang's words were also to the point, it can be said that the most uncertain factor between Song and Liao is Yelu Zongzhen, of course, the Great Song Dynasty is also not credible, and now the two sides have formed an alliance in order to deal with the party, but if the party is destroyed, the Great Song is likely to immediately send troops to Daliao.
"Brother Renxian, do you know that now I really want to detain you in the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State is missing your important minister, with the temperament of your Emperor and His Majesty, I am afraid that it will not be long before the Liao Kingdom will be in chaos!" At this time, Li Zhang suddenly approached Yeluren and stared at the other party with a smile.
Yelu Renxian was also taken aback at this time, and then looked Li Zhang up and down a few times, and when he was sure that the other party was just joking, he responded lightly: "It's a pity, if I could have known that the Marquis of Dingbei could have such a great influence on the Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that I would have to keep you in Daliao no matter what." ”
"Hahahaha~, it seems that we are really heroes who see the same thing, but even if we are the material of Brother Renxian, I am afraid that we will not be able to restore the general trend of the weakening of the Liao State!" Li Zhang laughed out loud after hearing this, and then said to Yeluren very seriously.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Ye Luren first heard this and asked a little irritably, he was very resistant to Li Zhang's words, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart telling him that what Li Zhang said was the truth, after all, as an important minister of Liao, he was very clear about the current situation of Liao, and watching Da Liao weaken day by day, this made him extremely heartbroken.
"Those who know the times are Junjie, I appreciate the talent of Brother Renxian, if I am Brother Renxian, I will definitely choose its master and supplement, as for who is the master, I don't need to say more, right?" Li Zhang finally told his purpose at the moment, and he really wanted to recruit this important minister of the Liao State.
However, in the face of Li Zhang's solicitation, Yeluren refused without hesitation, and even stood up very angrily to go back, but Li Zhang smiled faintly and didn't say anything more.
In fact, Li Zhang also knew that the chance of Yeluren being moved by him first was too small, but he still wanted to give it a try, even if he couldn't move the other party, but as long as Yeluren knew that Da Song had left him a way back, it might not be useful now, but it might have a miraculous effect at a critical moment in the future.
