Chapter 929: The Past Was Really a Beautiful Time (Second Update)
Chapter 929
Therefore, a secret decree was issued, and a large number of messengers were sent south, ordering the semi-official merchants who did business in the Song court and the diplomatic officials of the Liao State who remained in the Song court to bribe the officials of the Song court.
I hope they can persuade the Son of Heaven of the Song State to let the Song State take the initiative to propose peace and give Da Liao a decent and step.
And Da Liao, at least able to have an advantage in negotiations.
But as a result, the young son of heaven in the Song court didn't go to the Tao at all, and he didn't approve of it, and even quarreled with the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty for more than half a month, and after a period of time, he refused to talk about it on the grounds that the queen was worried about giving birth to a baby.
dragged back and forth, it was especially dragged to the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it can be said that it is extremely unfavorable for Daliao to drag it out like this.
Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to solve this problem, but we want Liao to take the initiative to propose peace. This old face really can't wipe off his face.
Among the scheming ministers in the court, there are also some people who have guessed the idea of Yelu Hongji, the son of heaven, but they all have a clear idea of protecting themselves, and they will definitely not be the first to propose, because the initiator is likely to become the target of the whole country to vent their anger in the future.
I'm afraid that if I die, I will be indignantly dug up and whipped by those stupid people who don't know the truth.
Besides, even if he is willing to sacrifice his life for the country, what if he guesses the wrong mind of the Son of Heaven? provoked the anger of the Son of Heaven, and it will be a dead word at that time, so ah, ten thousand words are better than silence.

"Isn't there a new way to break the game?" Yelu Hongji was rarely in his study, staring at the huge map in a daze.
Beside him, it was Yelu and Lu Hu, who were deprived of the position of coach, although he had not been able to be recovered by the Son of Heaven, but he was frequently ordered by the Son of Heaven to express his opinions on the current battle situation.
Moreover, during this time, when it had been determined that the taxes and grain production of Nanjing Province had been greatly reduced, Yelu Hongji almost visited Yelu and Lu Hu more and more frequently.
"Your Majesty, my brother feels that now, the Song Court's defenses are very tight, and we have lured the enemy several times, but the Song people have not moved, that is, they are stubbornly guarding their own defense line and will never take a step forward."
"In this way, even if there are thousands of good strategies, there is nothing to be done......" Yelu and Lu Wei's analysis made Yelu Hongji's face more and more difficult to look at.
"And Lu Wei, you are my own brother, there are some things, I want to hear your true words."
Seeing Yelu Hongji's gaze falling on him, Yelu and Lu Wei nodded. "Your Majesty asks, the younger brother must know everything, and he will say everything."
"Do you think that I am Daliao, and now that there are many disasters in the country, the people are struggling to make a living, the people are displaced, and the treasury is sharply reduced, should this war continue?"
"This ......" Yelu and Lu Wei couldn't help but be stunned and hesitated.
"Don't forget that what I want to hear is your sincere words, here, there are no kings and ministers, only you and my brother." Yeluhongji sighed a little tiredly.
"I know that you are still blaming me for what happened before, but if it wasn't for your rashness at the beginning, why would I have fallen into such a dilemma?"
"Your Majesty......" Yelu and Lu Yubai fell to the ground, gritted their teeth, raised their heads and whispered. The younger brother thinks that the fighter plane has been missed, and more attention should be shifted to the governance of people's livelihood, so that the people can recuperate......"
"I understand, but Zhao Xu'er of the Song Court is so treacherous, so many important ministers of the Song Court are trying their best to advocate peace, but he just ignores it, this is not like what those Song Emperors did in the past......"
"Whether it's Emperor Rensong, or Emperor Yingzong, or his father, Emperor Shenzong......"
That era was really beautiful, there was no need for Daliao to raise swords and soldiers, only to put on a posture and make a posture to intimidate, and those Manchu ministers of the Song Dynasty were scared like a chicken trembling in the autumn wind.
And they will use their incorruptible tongues, use all kinds of means, and use countless great truths to persuade the Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, and finally make concessions to Da Liao again and again.
But this time, this trick didn't work, this special one is too illogical and not scientific at all, is this still the Great Song that I know? Just when the two brothers were at a loss.
The notarization of Cheng'an in Da Liao, the secret letter submitted by the messenger sent by the queen mother of Western Xia, and the national letter of the prince of Western Xia, were almost only sent into the palace of Da Liao in a difference of about half an hour.
After Yelu, Lu Wei and Yelu Hongji read this letter and this secret letter, they all agreed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is really the road of the heavens, Your Majesty's Hong Fuye, the younger brother is here thinking hard, but he doesn't want to, then Li Qianshun's child in Western Xia can't support it first......"
"Even if I, Da Liao, have borne the cost of the army, but Western Xia still can't support it...... What a disappointment for me. Yelu Hongji, who got cheap and sold well, also put on a look of indignation and threw the Western Xia national book on the imperial case.
However, he agreed with Yelu and Lu Wei's words, and it simply entered his heart. I had to go to bed in the middle of the night, and someone brought a pillow, which was really timely.
"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, that Xia Lord, it is really too disappointing for my Da Liao, and it is in vain that my Da Liao has paid so much for his Western Xia." Yelu and Lu Wei, the old fritters, naturally knew the meaning of the string song, and the next sentence immediately changed its tone.
"What are you doing in a daze, and you don't want me to retreat." Yelu Hongji narrowed his eyes and swept over several henchmen and eunuchs in the study, and soon, only Yelu and Lu Wei and Brother Yelu Hongji were left in the study.
"And Lu Wei, tell me what kind of plan the lord of the Xia Kingdom is."
"Xixia did this, although it was in line with the current situation, it was also equivalent to giving me a step to retreat. However, if my Da Liao pushes the boat down the river, I am afraid that it will damage the prestige of my Da Liao. After thinking about it for a long time, Yelu and Lu Wei slowly shook their heads and said.
"After all, the result of this battle of the Song Dynasty is really disappointing, if you withdraw the army so gloomily, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the government and the opposition to explain, and I am afraid that the surrounding Zhufan will also despise my Daliao."
"This is deeply in line with my intentions, and I am absolute, if we really acquiesce to Xia Guo to do this, then my Da Liao's face is really, really embarrassing."
"What Your Majesty said is very true, so if I want to retreat decently, I'm afraid I need to do something......
"Talk to Lu Hu about you, and let me know a little bit about it."
"Brother Chen thinks that in order to show that my Great Liao withdrawal is a helpless move, we must need a lesson from Western Xia, so that the world can see it, so as to shock those who want to emulate Western Xia and be capricious."
