Chapter 531: Questioning

When the Liao Kingdom went to Beijing, a banquet was also held. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Champion Zhang Xiaojie said with a smile: "Today is the birthday of the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, presumably at this moment, Xiao Xi is celebrating his birthday!" ”
"The birthday gift prepared by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I think the emperor of the Southern Dynasty will like it!"
As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed!
As for the redrawing of the border between the two countries, it is naturally the work of Ye Lujun. At this moment, he sat in a position second only to the Liao lord Yelu Hongji, and said with a smile: "Aren't the people of the Southern Dynasty always clamoring to recover Yanyun? I heard that some time ago, there were still people who went to Ping Yance, and Yang Ye's descendants seem to be involved in it, it's just a fool's dream! Lone just wants to give them a head drink, let them know how many pounds and taels they have! ”
Going south to the Song Dynasty, Yelujun had a clearer understanding of the situation in the Great Song Dynasty, and the idea of riding south and drinking the Yellow River became even hotter in his heart. At this time, there was a strong anti-Liao sentiment in the Song Dynasty, and Yelujun put forward such a strategy.
In addition to suppressing the Song Dynasty, it was also aimed at one person. In the Daimyo's Mansion, slightly inferior to Lin Zhao, Yelu Jun has always been unwilling, and has been thinking about revenge, but now he has finally been caught. Before leaving, he confessed to Xiao Xi and didn't say it explicitly, but Lin Zhao would definitely understand the gift he gave him!
But will he fight? And how do you do it? Jerry Jun will wait and see!
Zhang Xiaojie said with a smile: "Song Ting is already weak, the impact of the flood last year has not yet subsided, and I heard that there is a serious drought now, I am afraid that I am in a hurry and take care of myself, so I dare not be disrespectful to our Daliao!" ”
On the throne, the Liao lord Hong Ji said: "If the Song people are more stable, I will not use troops easily." It's just that Zhao Ji, the little emperor of the Southern Dynasty, shouted all day long about enriching the country and strengthening the army, so he almost wrote the words Fuyan Pingliao on his face. If you don't give him some color, he may really forget his surname Zhao! However, it is better not to use the army easily. Jun'er's move is wonderful! ”
Yelu Hongji rarely praises his son publicly, and it is self-evident what such a move means today! The seventeen-year-old prince is becoming more and more mature, and he is a very good heir, and now he is beginning to build momentum for him. Cultivating a foundation is inevitable.
Sure enough, the ministers all understood. One by one, they all praised the prince for his wisdom, and the words of praise and compliments were endless. In this way, there is one person who is not happy, it is Yelu Yixin, the king of Zhao!
Yelujun was already a great threat to him, and now this threat has intensified. Originally, his greatest reliance was Yelu Hongji's favor in him. But now, it is obvious that Lord Liao is already praising his son. In the long run, the result is self-evident!
Yelu Yixin is not a good stubble, how can he watch others gradually overshadow him? The contradiction between him and Yelujun was completely intensified invisibly.
He was seventeen years old. Can't wait any longer, we have to hurry! Yelu Jun, who was complimenting, did not notice Yelu Yixin's gaze.

"Mother, when we were in the Daimyo's Mansion...... Thanks to Lin Zhao's eldest brother for sending us back...... "In the harem, Yelutri is telling the experience of going south to the Song Dynasty.
It's been more than half a year since I came back, but when it comes to this, the little princess is always very excited, and she doesn't tire of talking about it. Xiao Guanyin didn't care at first. But gradually, she discovered her daughter's heart. As a woman and a mother, she is very aware of her daughter's initial love.
This is not a bad thing, but the person my daughter loves is Lin Zhao! Oh, my God! Thinking of the night by the Liao River, and remembering the inexplicable thoughts he sometimes had, Xiao Guanyin only felt full of sin! What's going on? I and my daughter actually had something to do with the same man.
"Queen Mother, why are you blushing!" Jerutri's brow fluttered, but suddenly she noticed that her mother seemed to be distracted, and she was blushing. Very strange situation.
Xiao Guanyin was taken aback, seeing her daughter's rather innocent and expectant expression, she was even more panicked, and said: "The weather has been too hot recently, and it's only been April." It's so hot in Kyoto......"
Yerutri couldn't help but wonder in her heart, it's true that the temperature is high this year, but it shouldn't have reached the point where it is hot and makes people blush, right? The queen mother is really strange!
Shan Deng, who was waiting on the side, was also a little strange, and an astonishing thought came to his heart. Just at this time, Gong E came to report, and Legong Zhao only arrived!
Shan Deng's heart moved this time, and he shook his head secretly: "How is it possible? The queen should be the one who is thinking about it in her heart! ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The banquet of the same day is naturally unpleasant!
Zhao Ji barely kept a smile and ended the banquet hastily, and returned to the Vertical Arch Hall with an iron face.
Liao Guo swept his face during the same day's festival, which made him feel very unhappy! Inadvertently, it strengthened Zhao Pingyan's determination to destroy Liao.
Of course, it's just determination!
However, after calming down, it is also necessary to consider how to solve the current troublesome situation.
This matter can be big or small, and it is very different from drought, and the thing that can be done to fight the disaster can be done gradually. But this matter is quite urgent. If you don't get it right, there will be even worse consequences. Border disputes are trivial, but if the Liao army goes south, the consequences will be unimaginable.
It was already noon after the banquet, but the ministers and the scholars of Hanlin were still invited into the Vertical Arch Hall.
Zhao Ji said in a deep voice: "All the princes are present today's affairs, what do you think should be done!" ”
"The border between Ulzhou and Shuozhou is indeed disputed, and this time the old matter of Liao State is brought up again, it is likely that we want to find an excuse, if we agree first, we will discuss the division with them, and delay it for the time being!"
The strategy of delaying the army, in fact, most people have such thoughts! Including Zhao Ji, it is just to survey the boundary, not to cut the land, and the difference in nature is enough to make people breathe a sigh of relief! In his opinion, even if it is okay to let Liao take advantage of it, stabilize them for the time being.
Wang Anshi is now the de facto prime minister, and when he encounters this major event, he naturally wants to express his position, saying: "You can promise for the time being, temporarily delay the army, and then think about it in the long run." The current momentum of the drought is uncertain. So be cautious! ”
Everyone was worried that a tough attitude would give the Liao people the excuse to send troops, and the Great Song Dynasty under the drought could not withstand the scourge of soldiers. At the same time, the centuries-old tradition is still somewhat afraid of the Khitans.
Sima Guang is relatively calm, and he is unwilling to give in from the bottom of his bones. said: "The minister thinks that the top priority is to find out the purpose and determination of the Liao State, and find out whether they are just taking advantage of the fire to rob? Or picking quarrels and provoking trouble, intending to raise troops! ”
"What Junshi said is reasonable, but how can you be sure?" Zhao Ji also agrees with this, this issue is directly related to the decision-making of the Great Song Dynasty.
At this time. Lu Huiqing, who had been promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin, came out and said: "Your Majesty, Weiyuan Marquis Lin Zhao once sent an envoy to the Liao State, and he went to the north road of the river last year, and it seems that he had communicated with the Liao envoy before today's banquet, maybe he will have some insight!" ”
Zhao Ji's heart moved, Lin Zhao had contact with Ye Lujun last year. In terms of the recent contact with Liao, it is Lin Zhao who is undoubtedly the one who has had the most contact. And he has extraordinary knowledge, and often comes up with clever plans, maybe this time he can also help himself solve problems! Therefore, a faint hint of joy appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he ordered: "Quickly go and pass Lin Zhao into the palace to discuss matters!" ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, Lin Zhao stood on the railing of the garden, silently thinking about today's affairs!
Now it's almost certain. This matter is mostly the handiwork of Yelujun! Is it also a challenge to yourself?
Do you want to fight? Lin Zhao is not so childish, he has to compete with Yelu Jun! Besides, it is not my turn to intervene in this matter for the time being, and as for whether it is necessary to take the initiative, it needs to be carefully evaluated.
What Lin Zhao cared about was whether Liao's sudden intervention would affect his layout around the drought.
It's hard to say about this matter for the time being, Lin Zhao has already instructed Mingyue Sect to collect intelligence and carry out analysis and research. Wait for a reliable situation to come out before making a decision!
Although there is no need to meddle for the time being. But Lin Zhao still couldn't help but think about it. For the sake of precaution, there are some things that don't hurt to think about countermeasures early!
said that the Liao State intended to raise troops to the south, and Lin Zhao had a negative attitude towards this. In the original history, when Yelu Hongji of Liao Daozong was in power, the Liao State was actually going downhill.
During this time. There was no major war between Song and Liao. Now the only variable may be Yelu Jun, if this kid ascends the throne as emperor in the future, with his temper and character, I am afraid that Song Liao will not be at peace. But for now, it shouldn't be enough!
Of course, you can't just leave it to chance. Perhaps, Yelu Hongji and his son really did something crazy, or they were instigated by their subordinates, so it is necessary to be cautious and take precautions in advance.
But how do you prepare for it? The armies of the Song Dynasty were all concentrated on the border line and were completely in a state of passive defense. Take the initiative? That's impossible, the Song Dynasty can't and doesn't dare to provoke a war at the moment!
So...... Unless someone is restraining Liao, the intervention of a third party at this time is undoubtedly the best. There is no need to go to war, just a gesture that might make the difference. Throughout the ages, this has been a very common method.
It's just that who can contain the Liao State? Western Xia? The current situation in Western Xia is a mess, and after the Battle of Suizhou, the Empress Dowager Liang's sisters are too busy to take care of themselves in the country, how can they have the energy to contain the Liao State? As for Song Xia's current hateful confrontational relationship, he must also be unwilling.
Since the west is not good, then it can only be considered from the east.
In the original history, the Jurchens would rise up in the future, contain and directly destroy the Liao State.
But......
Seeing Yan Gu having fun with Gu Dongping and Zhe Meifeng in the distance, Lin Zhao couldn't help but shake his head slightly. Without the Jurchens who are finished fighting their bones, will the rise be so smooth and fast? Moreover, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and it is still too late after all!
Jurchen can't do it, so ......
Lin Zhao remembered that at today's banquet, an envoy had toasted to him, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, maybe they could!
As soon as he thought of this, Yu Xuan hurriedly came to report: "Hou Ye, someone from the palace has come to announce that Hou Ye is hanging the arch hall!" (To be continued.)
