Chapter 47
On the way to the bowl, the accompanying doctor treated Wanyan and asked, "Chief Wanyan, did Mrs. Zun take a lot of ginseng when she was pregnant?" ”
"Yes, ginseng is a great tonic, in order to make the child strong after birth, so I took a lot, all of them are good ginseng from Changbai Mountain for more than 100 years!" There was still a hint of pride on the face of the impeachment bowl, but after seeing the doctor's expression, a look of confusion appeared, could it be that a good intention hurt his son?
Sure enough, the doctor shook his head and said, "Although ginseng is a great tonic, taking too much will cause it to be too hot, especially in summer, when the weather is already hot." Mrs. Zun took too much ginseng, so that the child's fetus was too hot, which was the root of the disease in the mother's womb, so that she couldn't stop crying. ”
"I see!" Impeachment really repented of his mistake and asked, "Is there a way to cure it?" ”
"It's not difficult!" The doctor said: "But Ling Gongzi is still in infancy, it is not possible to take medicine directly, I will prescribe a few doses of medicine, let the nurse take it, turn it into milk for Ling Gongzi to take, it will not take long to work." ”
"Good! Thank you so much! Impeachment was grateful to Dade, obviously he was extremely fond of his second son, and then said to Lin Zhao: "Thank you Lin Envoy, the grace of saving your life is beyond repayment!" This time, I brought some Dongzhu and ginseng, and I gave you the right as a thank you gift, please accept it first! ”
In the past two days, Lin Zhao has repeatedly calculated in his heart that it is now 1068, and Wanyan Aguda raised troops to resist Liao around 1115, when he was forty or fifty years old. Wanyan is not big, and the probability of the same name and surname is relatively small, not to mention that he is the son of the leader, so this child should be the later Jin Taizu!
Thinking of the indelible shame in the history of the Han family in Jingkang, and the tragic situation of the people of the Han family when the Jin State destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty later, Lin Zhao felt a strong hatred in his bones. There is a faint hatred for the little baby for no reason, lingering.
The more grateful he was, the stronger the "self-blame" and guilt in Lin Zhao's heart became. No, we have to find a way to stop it, it is impossible to kill a baby directly, whether it is moral or feasible, we have to find another way.
Since you want to change, you have to nip the danger in the bud, and it's okay to be a tribal leader, but you must not let him become Jin Taizu!
However, Lin Zhao naturally will not refuse the Dongzhu and ginseng sent by the impeachment bowl, these are all good things in Changbai Mountain, don't do it in vain, just smile and accept it.

Two days later, they finally came to the edge of the Liao River, where the bowl of the Liao lord Yelu Hongji was located. The Xilamulun River and the Tuhe River, both of which arose from the Khitan people, are tributaries of the upper reaches of the Liao River, and the rivers are named after the country name, which shows that the Liao River is extraordinary in the minds of the Khitan people and the significance of the Liao State itself.
When there were still dozens of miles away from the bowl, Yelu Ji had already sent someone to inform Yelu Yixin in advance, asking King Zhao to decide how to meet the Song envoy.
The Song Dynasty envoy also deliberately slowed down, waiting for the important ministers of the Liao State to come to greet them, and the probably biggest surname was naturally Yelu Yixin, the king of Zhao.
But the result disappointed them, Yelu Ji brought back the news, the Liao lord had not yet returned, and Yelu Yixin, the king of Zhao, was busy with government affairs and had no time to come to greet him. The specifications of the reception were directly lowered by several grades, first invite the Song envoy to make a bowl, and later King Zhao will hold a banquet to entertain him.
The envoys of the Song Dynasty were very helpless, and the reasons for the partiality were sufficient, and there was nothing to refute. However, several adults clearly felt that this time the Liao State seemed to deliberately snub the Song Dynasty mission, especially after arriving at the bowl, this feeling was even more obvious.
Lin Zhao originally thought that the temporary camp could be big, but when he arrived at the edge of the Liao River, the scene he saw directly subverted his concept.
Tents were stacked one after the other, and there were at least thousands of them. It's no wonder that every time the Liao lord travels, he is guarded by the leather room army, although this time the Liao lord is temporary, when he came from Qingling, he only brought 10,000 soldiers and horses, and his family members and slaves will also follow, and the number is naturally not a few.
The number of palace guards of the Liao lord is not small, there are Hongyi, Changning, Yongxing, Jiqing, Yanchang, Zhangchou, Chongde, Xingsheng, Yanqing, Taihe, Yongchang, Dunmu and other twelve palaces, plus Wenzhong Palace. Each palace has 14,000 Zhengding, 12,000 Fan Han Zhuanding, 5,000 cavalry, and a total strength of more than 300,000.
A few days ago, after the Liao lord arrived in Liaoyang, he began to send palace guards to escort him. Changning Palace made Yelu Enemy Lie happen to change the defense from Youzhou to Liaodong, and after getting the permission of Yelu Yixin, the king of Zhao, he dispatched 20,000 horses to escort him.
Therefore, the scale of the entire Liaohe bowl is really not small, Lin Zhao couldn't help but sigh, in the end, it is a nation on horseback, and the bowl is completely a mobile city! On the way here, they even saw a makeshift bazaar, which was amazing.
At the same time, Lin Zhao also discovered another situation, the Khitan people were gradually moving closer to the Song Dynasty in life, and there was an obvious tendency to sinicization.
Men wear Han wide robes and big sleeves, all kinds of heads, and even some people who learn from the elegant Song people, with a flower in their hair buns, and a bit of charm. The aristocratic women are all dressed in Han women's clothes, silk satin, silk clothes are very popular, and they are dressed quite exquisitely.
Lin Zhao knows very well that this is the so-called sinicization. Historically, many foreign tribes from the north have been in charge of the Central Plains, and they have temporarily defeated the Han regime militarily and politically, but without exception they have been assimilated by the Han culture.
As soon as they came into contact with the prosperity of the Central Plains and the comfortable life of the Han people, they quickly shattered their traditional nomadic life on horseback for many years. Many foreign regimes eventually collapsed, more or less related to the acceleration of sinicization. The army lost its courage and fighting spirit, and eventually its combat effectiveness was greatly reduced. When military control is weakened, policies are not good, and the lives of the people are in dire straits, the fall of a dynasty begins......
Think about the Liao State in front of you, the demise may have something to do with it, and they may have lost their initial sharpness when they gradually sinicized. So much so that he was defeated by the Jurchens who came from the mountains and wilderness, and were even more backward but brave. The same is true of the Jin Kingdom, which was beaten by the Mongols in just a hundred years after entering the Central Plains, and experienced a striking similarity......
If the situation continues, it may be a good thing for the Song Dynasty, but time waits for no one, and the northern tribal regime is always a big problem. Lin Zhao didn't have much time to think about these issues either, because they got a very angry news.
Before this, Yelu Yixin, the king of Zhao of Liao, had personally received the envoys of Western Xia and Goryeo, how could he suddenly be busy when it was the turn of the more important Song Dynasty? Is it a coincidence, or is it intentional by the Liao?
Zhang Zongyi identified the latter, who had been an envoy to the Liao State in his early years and knew about the treatment of the Khitan envoys to the Song Dynasty. However, when entering the so-called "protocol tent", Zhang Lang found that the grade had dropped significantly, and it seemed to be similar to that of Goryeo and Uighurs......
Liaoguo is deliberately snubbing the Song envoys! The mission was indignant. As expected, the Liao people were in trouble everywhere, and this mission was destined to be difficult.
Zhang Zongyi held back his anger and planned to go to the Liao people to theorize, but before he went out, the Liao people came to report: Zhao Wang Yelu Yixin set up a banquet in the evening to catch the wind for the Song envoys!
