After thanking Zhao Guangyi, the envoy of Linzhou State bowed down and said, "The envoy of the lower country has a letter of state." ”

The envoy of Linzhou took out a book from his sleeve and raised his hands above his head.

A small yellow door took the letter of state and handed it to Wang Jien, and after Wang Jien carefully groped it, he handed it to Zhao Guangyi.

Zhao Guangyi opened the letter of the envoy of Linzhou with great interest.

After looking at it at a glance, his face became very strange.

"You ...... I want me to recognize that Toyosu and Katsushu are the ...... of the Inju country."

Zhao Guangyi's face was not strange, thinking that back then, when he was in the northern expedition to Liao, he didn't dare to start a war with Liao and Dangxiang at the same time.

Back then, in order to smoothly go on the Northern Expedition to Liao, he gave the party a lot of good things, in order not to let the party take advantage of the fire to rob and drag his feet.

Now some people are so bold that they suddenly provoke a big war with the party and the Liao State.

And it's a small country with only one state.

Is this looking for death?

"Zhao Aiqing, take a look......

Zhao Guangyi handed the credentials to Wang Jien, and Wang Jien handed it to Zhao Pu.

Although Zhao Pu already knew the whole story, he still pretended to read the national letter carefully, and then handed it to the second prince beside him, who already had the right to participate in politics.

The national letter walked around like this, and returned to Zhao Guangyi's hands.

Zhao Guangyi asked in a deep voice: "Zhao Aiqing, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Zhao Pu arched his hand and said, "The old minister thinks that he can agree to the request of Linzhou State. His Majesty had an alliance with the lord of Linzhou before, and he had already secretly promised Shengzhou to them.

Now they have bitten a piece of meat from the Liao State with their own skills. Your Majesty just needs to push the boat down the river. ”

The second prince frowned and said, "Father, the son thinks that this matter is inappropriate. ”

Zhao Guangyi raised his eyebrows and asked with some surprise: "What do you think is wrong with this matter?" ”

The second prince Zhengse said: "Father Qi, the lord of Linzhou State has cut off a piece of meat from the party members, and he has obviously formed a mortal enmity with Li Jiqian. My father risked the world before and canonized the lord of Linzhou, but he had a grudge with the party.

Of course, this matter can be excused on the pretext that the party is in turmoil and I cannot intervene.

However, now the dominance of the Inju State over Shengju has been recognized.

This is bound to be because of the disagreement between the Song and Liao countries.

The Liao Congress thought that what Linzhou did was instigated by our Great Song Dynasty behind his back.

Li Jiqian, who is in the party, is afraid that he will think so.

Once the Liao State and the party form an alliance, it will indeed be a disaster for my Great Song Dynasty. ”

Zhao Guangyi frowned, turned his head and asked the envoy of Linzhou, "What do you think?" ”

The envoy of Linzhou State bowed down and said: "What the prince of your country said, the little envoy does not dare to assert it. It's just that before the little envoy came to the Great Song Dynasty, my lord had explained that my Linzhou Kingdom was willing to be a vassal of the Great Song Dynasty for generations. With my Linzhou country here, I will never let the party members take the next step in the south. ”

The envoy of Linzhou said this sonorously and forcefully.

Zhao Guangyi's brows furrowed even deeper.

The second prince didn't seem to see Zhao Guangyi's frowning brows, and after he heard the words of the envoy of Linzhou, he said loudly: "Your Linzhou State counts the land of the two states that you just occupied, and it is only the land of three states, but there are more than a dozen states in the party. How dare you say that you can stop the party and people from invading the south? ”

"Enough!"

Zhao Guangyi glared at the second prince dissatisfied and scolded.

Whether or not to canonize the Linzhou State, after this matter was placed in the court, in fact, everyone had a common answer in their hearts.

Canonized!

Why canonization?

Because of the emergence of the Linzhou Kingdom, it is beneficial and harmless to the Great Song Dynasty.

First of all, Linzhou Guoheng is between the party and the Great Song Dynasty, and from the moment it appeared, it has become a natural barrier for the Great Song Dynasty to block the party members.

With the presence of Linzhou, the party could not directly attack the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty did not have to worry about the party members rushing into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty to cause chaos.

At the same time, Zhao Guangyi will be in the Northern Expedition to Liao in the future, so he will not have to worry about the chaos of the party members.

It can be said that the emergence of Linzhou can help the Great Song Dynasty get rid of a major disaster.

Moreover, the most important thing is that the Great Song Dynasty does not need to worry about the growth of the Linzhou Kingdom and the backlash against the Great Song Dynasty.

The state of Linzhou is only a small country that occupies the land of three states.

In the north, it is necessary to resist the Dangxiang people, and in the east, it is necessary to defend against the Liao.

So it is destined to be difficult to develop.

As for the canonization of the Linzhou State, it will cause dissatisfaction in the Liao State, and Zhao Guangyi is not worried at all.

The Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty were rivals.

It's still the kind of enemy of life and death.

Let the great enemy of life and death have more hatred for you, and there are not many waves at all.

Because even without this part of the hatred, the two sides will be hostile to each other, eager to destroy the other.

The reason why Zhao Guangyi asked for advice was not whether this move would offend the Liao State or the party.

What he meant was that the state of Linzhou was not worth supporting.

Can Linzhou survive under the attack of the party and the Liao state?

It's easy to support a puppet, but if the person who supports it is Adou, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

The second prince obviously didn't feel Zhao Guangyi's pulse.

The weakness he showed was only disliked by Zhao Guangyi.

After Zhao Guangyi scolded his son, he asked the ministers, "What do you think Aiqing?" ”

Gao Huaide, who was standing at the top of the generals, arched his hand and said, "The old minister thinks that this matter cannot be done. The country of Linzhou is just a small land, and under the attack of the Liao and the Dangxiang people, it will definitely be short-lived and will be destroyed in an instant. ”

The old minister also felt that this matter could not be done. The current situation of Linzhou Country is like a yellow flower of tomorrow, everyone can see it. The day of destruction is also dawning. The canonization of a small country that is about to be destroyed will damage the majesty of our Great Song Dynasty. ”

“……”

The courtiers talked a lot.

Sixty percent of them did not approve of the canonization of Linzhou.

None of them are optimistic about Linzhou State.

They all believed that the state of Linzhou would be quickly destroyed under the attack of the party and the Liao.

In fact, the four adults who did not open their mouths also thought so.

It's just that they are all Zhao Pu's protégés and old friends.

Zhao Pu talked to them about this matter yesterday.

They will follow Zhao Pu to be canonized in Baolin Prefecture in a while.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, and no one was optimistic about the Linzhou State.

Zhao Guangyi saw that there were six civil and military adults in the Manchu Dynasty who did not approve, so he was ready to open his mouth to refuse.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that it should be canonized. This matter is a good thing for my Da Song. We should not only look at the situation of Linzhou, but also look at the overall situation. ”

Zhao Pu suddenly spoke.

His remarks obviously made the Manchu civil and military a little stunned.

People who are familiar with Zhao Pu secretly shook their heads.

They were invective.

I'm afraid this old man is collecting black money, so he said so.

Zhao Guangyi was stunned and muttered, "Oh? Zhao Aiqing, tell me, how to look at the overall situation? ”

Zhao Pulang said: "Your Majesty should take a look at the situation in the northwest. Your Majesty is now canonizing the Linzhou Kingdom, just like the money to buy horse bones. Although the Linzhou Kingdom is in danger of being destroyed at any time, there is nothing we can do to help it. However, regardless of the survival of the Linzhou State, for the Great Song Dynasty, the canonization of the Linzhou State has a huge benefit.

You should all know that to the east of Shengzhou, there are the sixteen states of Yanyun.

In the sixteen states of Yanyun, there are tens of millions of people who have our Great Song Dynasty in their hearts.

His Majesty canonized the state of Linzhou today. Perhaps in the sixteen states of Yanyun, those people who have their hearts towards my Great Song Dynasty see His Majesty's kindness, and they will follow the example of Linzhou State.

A Linzhou country has been destroyed, but it is very likely that there will be Youzhou Kingdom, Yunzhou Kingdom, and so on in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

At that time, my Great Song Dynasty will recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and it will be just around the corner. ”

The sixteen states of Yanyun have always been a piece of Zhao Guangyi's heart.

After Zhou Shizu Chai Rong, the Northern Expedition to the Liao State was unsuccessful; His brother Zhao Kuangyin's northern expedition to the Liao State was unsuccessful.

Therefore, in Zhao Guangyi's heart, he thought that as long as he took the sixteen states of Yanyun, his merits would surpass the above two emperors.

The black history of his ascension to the throne will also be overshadowed by the light of his exploits.

This is also the reason why he did not hesitate to make two northern expeditions to Liao.

Zhao Pu talked about Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and he really scratched Zhao Guangyi's itchy flesh.

Zhao Guangyi, who was originally ready to refuse the canonization of the state of Linzhou, began to hesitate.

Zhao Pu hit the railway while it was hot: "Your Majesty...... It is too early to say that the state of Linzhou will be defeated. Yang Ye, a veteran who has guarded Yanmen Pass for many years, is now in Daizhou. There are now 30,000 forbidden troops hoarded in Yanmen Pass, as well as the ...... of the Folding Family who is sitting in Fuzhou."

Zhao Pule smiled and said, "When necessary, it's not like we can't help Linzhou Guo...... As long as they can pay a sufficient price......"

Zhao Guangyi's eyes lit up.

Zhao Pu's proposal made Zhao Guangyi very tempted.

Yang Ye of Daizhou and Fuzhou Zhejiajun......

These two forces are no longer recorded by Zhao Guangyi within the scope of the power of the imperial court.

So how much these two forces have damaged, Zhao Guangyi is not distressed at all.

If you use their strength to support the Linzhou Kingdom, by the way, you will seek a little welfare for the imperial court.

That's really the best of both worlds.

The preservation of the Linzhou State is a great help to the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty can use this to ask for a large amount of property from the Linzhou State.

If the state of Linzhou cannot be saved, the army of the Zhejia family will be damaged, and the Datong army that the Yang family is forming will also be beaten back to its original shape.

Both results are what Zhao Guangyi is willing to see.

Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed, and said with admiration: "Zhao Aiqing is old and seeks the country, and he is indeed my minister of the humerus. ”

When Zhao Pu heard this, he got up and arched his hand and said: "The old minister is His Majesty's courtier, and he should share his worries for His Majesty." ”

Zhao Guangyi had an idea in his heart, he turned his head to the envoy of Linzhou State and said, "I have agreed to your request of Linzhou State. Shengzhou, Fengzhou, Linzhou, was originally the hometown of the Jin Kingdom. I can enthrone your Linzhou Kingdom as the Northern Jin Kingdom, do you have any objections? ”

Helping other countries change their names is a taboo thing.

Therefore, Zhao Guangyi wanted to ask for the meaning of the envoys of Linzhou.

The envoy of Linzhou was overjoyed, fell to his knees with a puff, and said excitedly: "The lord of our country, I have admired Your Majesty for many years, and I have also mentioned to the little envoy the matter of giving the name of the country. It's just that the little envoy feels a little abrupt, and he is afraid that he will offend His Majesty, so he has not dared to mention it.

Now His Majesty has given the name of the country, and the envoy has thanked His Majesty for his grace. ”

"Hahaha......"

The envoy of Linzhou behaved very much like a dirt bun who had never seen the world. Faced with Zhao Guangyi's gift, he actually knelt on the ground.

This kind of pleasure of watching others surrender at his feet, Zhao Guangyi likes it very much.

Zhao Guangyi laughed loudly, and after laughing, he said, "Very good." In addition, I will once again crown you as the queen of the Northern Jin Dynasty, and enjoy the honor of being the king. Add a phoenix robe, a red phoenix crown, and a reward of 10,000 gold. ”

The Manchu Dynasty scolded in their hearts.

Stinky and shameless.

Giving people a queen's phoenix robe and phoenix crown, what kind of thoughts are in this is self-evident.

You are a dragon, giving people the identity of a phoenix?

Why don't you just say in the edict, I want to be close to you directly.

For Zhao Guangyi's lustful things, everyone knows about it.

Regarding Zhao Guangyi's unorthodox edict, the Manchu Dynasty still had ideas in his heart.

It's just that after they saw the moved envoy of the new Northern Jin Kingdom who was full of tears, they put away the thoughts in their hearts.

After sealing the Northern Jin Kingdom, Zhao Guangyi left the vertical arch hall in a happy mood.

Before leaving, he also asked Wang Jien to take away the four beauties offered by the new Northern Jin Kingdom.

The new envoy of the Northern Jin Kingdom immediately went with the chief official of Honglu Temple to receive the edict.

Then he received Zhao Guangyi's reward.

After leaving the palace, he quickly went to the Zhao Mansion and presented a silver ticket worth 30,000 taels of gold.

Then he took his own people non-stop and quickly left Bianjing City.

It's night.

Zhao Guangyi slept with four party beauties in his dormitory.

In order to add to the fun, he also recruited a painter to paint his majestic posture.

It can be seen that Zhao Guangyi's interest tonight is very high.

Zhao Guangyi made a fuss until midnight and was about to fall asleep with the beauties in his arms.

Wang Jien hurriedly went to the edge of the bed and said softly: "Your Majesty, the people of the Imperial City Division have something important to report. ”

Zhao Guangyi lay on the dragon bed, pinched the beauty beside him, frowned, and said, "Let's just say that I am tired and have fallen asleep." ”

Wang Jien hesitated for a moment, and said solemnly: "The people of the Imperial City Division said that 100,000 are urgent. ”

Zhao Guangyi sat up from the bed, and said irritably: "Let him in, if he doesn't tell me anything urgent, I must chop him up and feed the dog." ”

Shaoqing, under the leadership of the little eunuch, the head of the Imperial City Division entered the dormitory, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Zhao Guangyi's dragon bed.

"Your Majesty, the matter of Linzhou State that you instructed your subordinates to investigate, has been verified by your subordinates."

Zhao Guangyi said unhappily: "What have you found?" ”

The leader of the Imperial City Division said solemnly: "According to the investigation of the subordinates, Linzhou has been secretly controlled by the Zhe family. And Fengzhou and Shengzhou have fallen into the hands of the Yang family. And the original party rebels have also been collected by Yang Yansi for his own use. The so-called lord of Linzhou, the holy woman named Chu Xing, seems to have been accepted into the mansion by Yang Yansi and became his concubine. ”

"Bang!"

Zhao Guangyi pounded the dragon head on the dragon bed in disbelief, and asked angrily, "What did you say?" ”
