The city of Nanjing was lost, and the loss of troops was countless, but Emperor Liao Tianzuo did not think so, in his eyes he only had his own throne, ignoring the generals who fought on the battlefield, and the ministers were extremely sad at this moment. As the king of a country, it is rare in ancient and modern times to be mediocre and incompetent.

In addition, Emperor Tianzuo was still optimistic that the Liao army would be able to win a complete victory, the Jin soldiers were recruited, the Song army went north, and the two armies attacked Liao from different directions, which made the ministers toss and turn, it was difficult to sleep, and they spent all day thinking about how to resolve the current dilemma.

However, their emperor didn't care, as if he didn't care, he didn't have any sense of crisis, and he lived his emperor's life leisurely, regardless of the life and death of the people.

"Your Majesty, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are not only the barrier of the Song Dynasty, but also the barrier of our Dynasty. Now the loss of Nanjing City is a great disadvantage to our dynasty. If the Song army moves north, then our dynasty will be in danger. ”

"The ministers thought that to strengthen the defense of the army of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, they must block the footsteps of the Song army. Now, our army is concentrated on the eastern road, fighting with the Jin soldiers, and it is difficult to separate themselves. If it is impossible to send troops, it is only possible to make peace with the emperor of the Song Dynasty by 'Heshu'. ”

"The Song Dynasty and our dynasty were originally brothers, and the emperor of the Song Dynasty would not attack Shangjing. As for the book of peace, it is also exempt! Emperor Tianzuo said confidently, he still didn't think that the Great Song Dynasty would really attack the Great Liao, so he was very optimistic.

Emperor Tianzuo is incompetent and ignorant of the current situation, but some of the ministers are loyal and dedicated, and they can see the situation in front of them clearly, and they are not optimistic.

If there is any more hesitation, then Daliao will really be finished. At that time, it was too late to regret it, so they once again tried hard to persuade Emperor Tianzuo.

"Your Majesty, now is the moment when my dynasty is in crisis. Judging by the current situation, Song Kim has formed an alliance. Although I don't know what the content is, I guess it's not good to pile up. If we don't sue for peace at this time, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to recover it, and how will our army resist it then? ”

Emperor Tianzuo said suspiciously, "Is it really so serious? ”

"Back to the emperor, the matter is far more serious than what Weichen said. Now, the Jin soldiers are conscripting our dynasty, and the situation is irretrievable, so they can only seek help from the Song people for today's plan. If you want them to be willing to help us, the only way to do so is to make peace. ”

"In that case, let's make peace!"

The reason why Emperor Tianzuo agreed to sue for peace is not about the current predicament, but about his own throne, if the country is really ruined, how should he, the emperor, do it, no one supports him, and no one obeys his orders.

It is not so much that he cares about the people and Da Liao, but that he cares about his throne and his rights. If it weren't for the emperor, he would be a Liao man who no one cared about, and behind him would be an overwhelming golden soldier.

Emperor Tianzuo is mediocre and incompetent, which does not mean that he is really stupid and knows nothing. He may be powerless in major national affairs, and he is still very shrewd in matters involving his own interests.

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is not enough to just ask for a monk, and it is necessary to cut the land."

"What? Still want to cut the land? Emperor Tianzuo was taken aback, his face was full of unhappiness, seeking peace was already the biggest concession, but he didn't expect to cut the land, which made him very dissatisfied.

Thinking about the original Liao State, how heroic and sharp it was, even the Song Dynasty could not shake it, and even needed to pay tribute to Liao, pay New Year's coins, silk silks and other things, which made Emperor Tianzuo angry.

Everyone saw that his face was pale, and the dissatisfaction in his eyes was overflowing. Even so, the crowd had to go on. Emperor Tianzuo didn't recognize the situation, it didn't mean that they were the same.

"Now that the Song army is attacking our southern and other places, their purpose is nothing more than to get the sixteen states of Yanyun. Since they want to get it, they will cede it to the Song Dynasty, and on this condition, let them withdraw their troops, and they can also use the power of the Song army to help our dynasty repel the Jin soldiers to solve the current predicament. ”

Emperor Tianzuo's face became worse and worse, his face was dark, and he looked at that person gloomily, as if he was about to rush out, and burned him directly.

The man continued: "Of course, we are not really ceding land for peace, but delaying the army. As long as the Song army is suspended, our army can gather in one place and then give the Jin soldiers a blow. ”

"If the Song army helps, it will be even more powerful, with their help, when the time comes, we will reduce the casualties of our army, and also weaken the strength of the Song army, then our army can leave all the Song army in the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the separated cities will not have to come back."

Emperor Tianzuo's gloomy face showed a trace of warmth, as if when a storm was coming, he saw the blue sky through the clouds and mist, which made Emperor Tianzuo feel very good.

The man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he walked through the ghost gate himself. A smile appeared on Emperor Tianzuo's gloomy face, and he found that his back was cold, and he secretly wiped the cold sweat.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, it is indeed the truth!

If it is a Ming Jun, he will be loyal to his ears, but there will be no mass killing; If you are a faint king, the sooner you are a loyal minister, the faster you die, and you will be directly pulled out and beheaded, which is difficult to guess.

"Then according to Qing's words, let's draw up the purpose!" Emperor Tianzuo agreed, and then said, "I'm tired, you all retreat!" ”

"Wait for the resignation!" The crowd shouted hooray, and then withdrew.

Due to the close relationship between the Liao Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, many rituals of the Liao Dynasty followed the Great Song Dynasty, such as the early dynasty, the emperor to shout long live, etc., as well as the three palaces and six courtyards.

"King Xiao, are you really going to do that?"

After everyone retreated, the ministers who had done their best for the country were together again, whispering and discussing national affairs.

"Who made me the king of the North Courtyard, but the emperor ...... Alas! Don't talk about it! ......" Xiao Shan, the king of the North Courtyard, sighed helplessly, although he had a heart but was powerless, if it weren't for Emperor Tianzuo being the emperor, everyone would have a heart to tear him apart.

"I don't know when the emperor will really come to his senses!" Xiao Shan then asked, "Lord Yelu, you are the Taishi, in charge of the emperor's personal guards, you should know what the emperor's daily life is doing these days?" ”

"Alas, I won't say anything about King Xiao, you can guess it!" Yelu Yanqing smiled bitterly, he didn't need to say this question, everyone could guess it, but there were some expectations.

It's just that the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. Emperor Tianzuo did not think about how to deal with it at the critical moment, but lived his imperial life as usual, and the things of seeking pleasure were clear to the entire palace.

"Da Changgon, you must always keep an eye on the movements of the golden soldiers. In addition, you should also take more care of His Royal Highness King Jin! ”

Xiao Shan solemnly admonished, and everyone nodded and agreed. At this moment, the future of Da Liao can only depend on them and pin their hopes on King Jin.

In fact, they desperately hoped that Emperor Tianzuo would abdicate and pass the throne to King Jin. Because in their minds, King Jin is the real heir to the throne, and he can also lead everyone out of the predicament, and Emperor Tianzuo is reluctant to abdicate, and he even sent the popular King Jin to the front line, which is nothing more than worrying that his throne will be threatened, and everyone knows it but can't help.

Now, the only way they can think of is to cut the land and sue for peace. There is nothing else that can be done about it. After all, compared with Song and Jin, the relationship between Song and Liao was much more relaxed, so they could only be forced to cede land and sue for peace, that is, a strategy to delay the army.
