Chapter 589: Attacking Yan and Da Song and making peace
Even the Hebei garrison was rotten, but Tong Guan still had 150,000 troops in his hands, so he sent people to Yanjing in an attempt to make Yeluchun, who had established himself emperor of the Liao Dynasty, surrender.
However, things are not so simple, in the face of the Song envoy, Ye Luchun directly refused the matter.
Although they encountered some setbacks, Tong Guan, Cai You and others were not worried. Like many people in the Great Song Dynasty, they all thought that the Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun occupied by the Liao State were still thinking about their homeland, and as long as the "Wang Shi" arrived, these Han people would immediately rush to eat pot pulp.
Tong Guan ordered people to post lists everywhere, offered favorable conditions to the local Han people, and made a vow to the officials, claiming that if someone offered Yanjing, he could be awarded the post of festival envoy.
However, those Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun who "lived in dire straits" in the imagination of the Great Song people had lived under the rule of the Liao State for a hundred years, and the Liao State had better taxes and treatment for these Han people than the Song State.
Even now, the Han people in the Yanyun region are still extremely loyal to the Khitan rulers.
Just when Tong Guan, Cai You and others, who were helpless, were about to lead a large army to attack Nanjing City, Shaozai Wang Huang, who went to the south to negotiate, returned to Tokyo City.
The two conditions put forward by Li Nan were both insults to the Song State, but now that the situation is urgent, the Song State has done a lot of humiliating things like giving the New Year's coins to neighboring countries. Therefore, Huizong Zhao Ji and the courtiers discussed it and agreed, but the matter of marrying the emperor was opposed by the ministers.
The strategy of harmony is definitely a bad thing if you look at it from the perspective of marrying those princesses in a foreign country, but from a national perspective, it is indeed a very good strategy.
The emperors of the Western Han Dynasty tasted the wonderful taste of harmony, and the Tang Dynasty simply relied almost entirely on harmony to make the frontier barbarians submit. In the Qing Dynasty, harmony became a secret weapon, making Inner and Outer Mongolia willing and bowing down to become a vassal of China.
Historically, it seems that only the Song and Ming dynasties, under the influence of Confucianism, considered it a great insult to marry a royal daughter to a barbarian.
It is true that Heqin has an insulting color no matter what, but he must first be strong enough to refuse hardly, and now Song Guo really does not dare to start a war with Zhennan State.
Huizong Zhao Ji is very busy, in addition to calligraphy, painting, appreciating the beauty of the garden, and countless beauties in the harem on weekdays, he has to go out of the palace from time to time to linger in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion.
For his thirty-one sons and thirty-four daughters, Huizong Zhao Ji almost didn't recognize them all, and an emperor was not very important to him.
The civil and military ministers in the palace are now divided into two sides, each with its own opinion.
The side with a larger number of people believed that the Great Song Dynasty was a great power, so it could not exchange peace for the emperor, and it could not be humiliated by foreigners in any case.
The other side's idea is more practical, now that the Northern Expedition is about to attack Yanyun, if the south starts the war lightly, I am afraid that the entire Great Song Dynasty will be unstable.
In fact, no matter how much these ministers say, it is useless, because whether it is this country or the emperor, it is all Huizong Zhao Ji's, so it is Zhao Ji who finally makes a decision on this matter.
Huizong Zhao Ji is also an indecisive person, after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't make up his mind, looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and asked Liang Shicheng, the eunuch who was the most trusted inspector and the eunuch whom the people called 'hidden phase': "Shoudao, how do you think this matter should be handled?" ”
Liang Shicheng did not approve of attacking the Liao State at first, but after receiving a large amount of gold and silver from Tong Guan and Cai You, he changed his attitude.
At this moment, hearing the official family ask for his opinion, Liang Shicheng opened his slightly closed eyes and said: "If you marry the emperor to a wild alien race, it is indeed an insult to the Great Song Dynasty. But don't forget, Li Nan is a citizen of my Great Song Dynasty, and the official family thinks about the people and avoids the misery of life, so they are gracious to him, isn't this right? ”
There are many people who are dissatisfied with Liang Shicheng's remarks about stealing concepts, but there are very few people who dare to speak up, and it doesn't matter if he offends Huizong Zhao Ji, but if he annoys this powerful old eunuch, it is very likely that he will end up worse than death.
After Liang Shicheng finished speaking, the important ministers did not make any noise, and Huizong Zhao Ji was very happy in his heart, and immediately said loudly: "The Northern Expedition cannot afford to be lost, and the sixteen states of Yanyun are the things that the Great Song Dynasty must take!" Wang Hao, the matter of the year coin and the emperor Ji should be the anti-king Li Nan, and on the day when Tong Guan and the others return victoriously, they will go to exterminate the damned anti-thief! ”
"Official Shengming!" Hearing this answer, Wang Hao's heart was put into his stomach.
The three-month deadline given by Li Nan was very tight, so the will to choose an emperor to marry Lingnan soon spread to the harem.
The Great Song Dynasty had never had a relationship affair, and Huizong didn't know how to deal with it, so he simply let the daughters who had reached the age of marriage discuss it by themselves, hoping that they would take the initiative to share their worries.
Originally, Huizong Zhao Ji thought that no one would want his daughter to leave the bustling city of Tokyo and marry Li Nan, the anti-king of the wild land of Lingnan, but the result surprised him, because a total of three emperors recommended themselves.
Li Nan, a thief, is very famous in the Great Song Dynasty, and not all of them are notorious.
A few years ago, Li Nan and Zhou Bangyan fought with Zhou Bangyan in Fanlou, with "A Cut of Plums, Rain Hitting Pear Blossoms Deep Closed Door", "Water Tune Song Head, When Will the Bright Moon Be There" and "Linjiang Immortals, Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", three wonderful words, not only won the title of the first person in the poetry world, but also won the heart of the digital Oiran in Tokyo.
After that, Li Nan moved Tokyo City with his poems, calligraphy and paintings, and entered the Hanlin Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, and was known as the 'Three Absolute Sons'.
Li Nanwen is invincible, tall, handsome, and soon became the dream lover of many women in the boudoir, and even there are many Huaichun girls in the palace who admire him, and the emperor is also a person, and they are not exempt from vulgarity.
In addition to admiring Li Nan, these emperors want to leave the palace, which is also one of the main reasons.
Looking at his three daughters, Huizong Zhao Ji was not only surprised, but also a little embarrassed.
If no one wants to marry that thief, that's a bad thing, but now there are too many people who want to marry him, which makes Zhao Ji even more headache.
Emperor Xiande Zhao Qiaoyun, Shunde Emperor Zhao Yingluo, Yifu Emperor Ji Zhao Yuanzhu, the three daughters are the same age, Huizong Zhao Ji finally decided to marry Zhao Yingluo, the daughter of Yisu Guifei Wang, to Li Nan according to the degree of favor.
When Tokyo City was preparing the dowry and New Year's coins for Emperor Shunde, Li Nan in Guizhou City was also snubbed by the princesses around him.
Don't look at Li Nan's surroundings, surrounded by beautiful women, there is a harmonious and peaceful appearance between the women, but none of the women want others to share their husbands, so they all don't understand Li Nan's request for the emperor of the Song Kingdom.
I don't know that Huo Wu and Sienna and the others are okay, they are all followers who are restricted by the system, but although Pang Qiuxia and Hu Bing and other women don't say it, they are actually still uncomfortable in their hearts.
Sensing the subtle changes in the princesses, Li Nan knew that he had to explain, and immediately gathered all the beloved women together.
Looking at the Yingying Yanyan in the room, full of stunning beauties, Li Nan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have recently found that you are not in a good mood, so I called you over today to plan to talk to everyone, if you have any dissatisfaction and opinions about me, then talk about it." ”
Others didn't dare to say much even if they had something in their hearts, but Pang Qiuxia was the first wife to make a marriage contract with Li Nan, and she had a fiery temper, so she immediately snorted coldly.
"Hehehe." Li Nan smiled and sat down when he came to Pang Qiuxia's soft collapse, reached out and took her little hand and held it in his hand, and asked with a smile: "It seems that you are the most dissatisfied with me, anyway, there are no outsiders here, so let's talk about it." ”
"Just say it!" Pang Qiuxia asked with a frosty face: "We are enemies with Song Guo, and you are accompanied by our sisters, why do you have to work hard to be Zhao Ji's son-in-law?" ”
