However, Yuan Weiyi underestimated Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if he knew that there was a problem with the things promoted by the Japanese envoys, Zhao Ji just diverted the topic and asked about the terroir of various parts of Japan, where there are good ports to dock at, where grain is produced, and where there are iron mines.

Asking these things, the Minister of Song realized that something was wrong. Da Song, an official, has always only been interested in Fenghua Xueyue, he only asks how much money he has, but does not ask where the money comes from, but this time he asks some practical questions endlessly.

Think again: a good port can be used for the landing of a large army, grain can supplement the food of a large army, and iron ore can directly smelt weapons.

The person who was more flexible suddenly understood Zhao Ji's thoughts: The official family didn't want to wait for the Japanese to send beautiful women, he wanted to send a large army to get it!

So the Great Song courtiers looked at the Japanese envoys with a slightly weird look, but Yang Jian, after realizing that something was wrong, thought about it repeatedly for a long time, except for saying one more word and praising Zhu Mian for his reliable work, there was no obvious fault, and he was slightly relieved.

At the same time, he secretly decided that after the banquet was over, he would immediately send someone to send a generous gift to Zhou Quan's family. Although the father and son of the Zhou family were not in Beijing, the imperial court left Zhou's mother here and became the wife of the Emperor, and she would always be invited to come every time the queen had a banquet.

This half is to show favor to the father and son of the Zhou family, and the other half also has the intention of restraining the father and son of the Zhou family through Zhou's mother, after all, Zhou's father is just right, and he can be dismissed with a paper order, but Zhou Quan has no scruples overseas, even if he loses the official position of Haizhou system envoy, he is still a man of his word in the East China Sea, even more majestic than the Great Song Dynasty sailor!

After sorting out the matter, Yang Jian smiled all over his face, and said a few words on the side, but found that Zhao Ji ignored him a little, and he understood in his heart that when Zhang Zeduan went out, he must have said something that made Zhao Ji's attitude change dramatically.

Before the wine and food were finished, Zhao Ji said that he was unwell and left the table.

At this time, Ping Zhongsheng still didn't know that he had caused a monstrous disaster, if he wasn't too tired, he would have to be proud.

But as soon as he returned to the pavilion, Yuan Weiyi pounced and grabbed his clothes fiercely: "Ping Zhongsheng, you are in a big trouble!" ”

"Bah, for righteousness, don't think I don't know what you think, today I have made a great contribution to Japan, if I can connect with the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, why should I worry about a mere Zhou Quan in Japan! I am under the secret order of the emperor, and I still want to divide Goryeo with the Great Song Dynasty, I only need to promote the marriage, and this task is just around the corner! You are nothing more than jealous of me, and I know that you have always been jealous of me, of my trust......"

"Horn!"

Yuan Weiyi slapped it, and Ping Zhongsheng's eyes were full of stars, and he came back to his senses for a while.

"Are you sober, Zhongsheng, you idiot, what is the true identity of Princess Zhangzi, you still don't know? You want to give the woman that the emperor slept with to the Great Song Emperor as a concubine, do you think the Great Song Emperor will accept this kind of thing? ”

Ping Zhongsheng was originally angry by him, but Yuan Weiyi's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring him through the cold, and after a while, he muttered: "No......"

"You idiot, big red deer!"

"Across the surging sea, how could the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty know about this, even in our country, there are only rumors about this matter, and ordinary people don't know about it......"

"Say that you are a big red deer, you are a big red deer, you are in Xuzhou, and you have promised that woman to Zhou Quan, do you think Zhou Quan will not inquire, as the king of the East China Sea, he wants to know about Zhangzi, and some people are willing to explain it to him!"

At this moment, Ping Zhongsheng's whole body was wet.

Cold sweat trickled, and he trembled: "But, it's ......"

"It's not so much, you idiot, why do you say that the painting is Princess Zhangzi, why are you still talking nonsense, you want to give her to the Emperor of Song, all of this is caused by you idiot!"

At this time, Ping Zhongsheng, who was greatly impacted, was already much sober, and the tiredness of the days could not stop his fear, and he began to regret it at this time.

Why didn't I calm down at that time and carefully analyze the pros and cons of this?

Thinking about it, there is only one reason, that is, I have not rested well recently, and my whole brain is groggy and painful.

"What now?" Ignoring the humiliation brought by asking Yuan Weiyi, he grabbed Yuan Weiyi's arm and pleaded: "For righteousness, I myself will only commit suicide at most to apologize, but, but, if the matter is exposed, we in Japan and our country will face a catastrophe!" ”

"I don't understand, how did Emperor Baihe take a fancy to an incompetent person like you, and actually entrusted you with the important task of envoy and gave you the secret decree...... "Where can Yuan Weiyi come up with a way!"

Not to mention that these two Japanese envoys sat in the city of sorrow, but in Liao, because of the cold weather in winter, Yelu Yanxi set up his big tent in Yanjing, which was further south.

The fire kang and coal stove passed from the Song Kingdom made Yelu Yanxi's winter palace as warm as spring, and the strong liquor made him sweat even more, so in such weather, he was still naked, roasting a leg of mutton with wine on the fire in the house.

In front of him, Xiao Fengxian, Yelu Yujian and other ministers were listed one by one, and everyone was munching on silently, but Yelu Dashi was talking endlessly.

"In just four months, there have been eleven clashes between Song and me on the border, almost as many as last year and the year before in the whole of the year. The amount of trade between the two countries has not increased significantly for six consecutive months. The Song people have reduced the amount of iron and sulfur sold to China, and at the same time restricted the export of grain to China......"

Dealing with Zhou Quan several times, especially when he went to Jeju to pick up Yu Liyan, he deliberately examined the situation in Jeju, so Yelu Dashi also learned the same habit as Zhou Quan: data speaks.

Let the real data speak for itself. A real figure is better than the boast of tens of thousands of words of a writer.

And the persuasiveness of the data is enough, even Yelu Yanxi, after listening to the strings of numbers reported by Yelu Dashi, he also held his breath and stopped eating meat.

"In conclusion, the Song State has begun to prepare for war against our country, judging from the preparations he made before the Xia State went to war, this time will last about four years, Your Majesty, everyone, time is running out!"

"Isn't there still a covenant between our two countries?" Yelu Yu frowned: "Can you let those who profit from this covenant find a way to delay it a little longer?" ”

The Song State swept away the Western Xia, but the Liao State still had the trouble of Jin's henchman, so Yelu Yu thought that he had to delay for a while, and after Liao pacified the Jin State, he would fight Song to the death.

"It is with these people in mind that I said that there are still four years to prepare, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a war in two years!"

"Maybe you can let Zhou Quan exert his strength, he and His Royal Highness Yu Liyan, hehe......" Xiao Fengxian said in a weird manner.

It's just that even Yelu Yanxi was angry when he heard this: "Shut up, Yu Liyan's matter, if you talk nonsense again, you will lead the troops to cut gold for me!" ”

Xiao Fengxian was silent for a moment.

"Da Shi Linya, since you have raised this matter, you must have a plan, can you tell me how to deal with it?" Jeruyu asked again.

"The first is to temporarily stop the war with the Jurchens, the Jurchens are now in a big situation, and it is impossible to destroy them in a hurry, on the contrary, we must prevent the Jurchens from joining forces with the Song Kingdom, stabilize the Jurchens first, and give us more time to prepare!"

"Second, to consolidate the alliance with Goryeo, now I and Goryeo, together with the pressure of the Jurchens, if I can make them cooperate with me, and at the same time with the help of their sailors, I can contain the Jurchens, so that they do not dare to go west, and they can also grab the wealth of the sea for my Daliao!"

When Yelu Dashi said the first point, the faces of the people present were gloomy, but at the second point, their eyes lit up, and some people even began to chew again.

"Big Stone Linya is talking about, wealth on the sea?"

"Yes, the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce of the Song Kingdom, why they have such power, is because they control the wealth of the sea. Do you know the amount of gold, silver and copper ore that the Song Kingdom received from the Japanese trade every year! Also, their trade with Goryeo! Although Liao's shipbuilding and navigation are not as good as Song's, we have Goryeo, and there is no problem for the Goryeo people to ship to Japan...... In addition, there is one thing that I sent to the Jurchens to inquire about, the four sons of Akuta, the milky little child, actually reported a lot of ships from the Koreans, and I don't know how to buy two sea ships from the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, he intends to cross the sea, conquer Japan, and seize Japan's gold and silver mountains! ”

Seize the gold and silver mountains of the Japanese!

With this idea, the Jurchens were not surprised by the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State, they also wanted to seize Japan's gold and silver mountains for a long time, but they never had enough strength to do it.

Especially sea power.

I also think that the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce now monopolizes Japan's interests, and it will definitely not let them make trouble in the past, so even if they rely on the relationship between Yu Liyan and Zhou Quan, they don't want to get the support of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce on this issue.

"It seems that there is something insufficient to only join forces with Goryeo, our Daliao spirit is good at riding and shooting, and water warfare is not good, we can't pin all our hopes on the Goryeo people."

"Exactly, the labor expedition, if you win, it will be enough, if you lose, you will definitely break your muscles and bones!"

Hearing the opposition around him, Yelu Dashi felt slightly anxious in his heart.

This plan for an expedition to Japan has been brewing in his mind since he picked up Yu Riyan on Jeju Island.

"Cooperate with the Jurchens!" He said loudly.

"How is this possible, you are treason!" Someone shouted.

"Cooperating with the Jurchens and leading their spearhead to Japan is exactly the plan to lead the troubles to the east, if we can have a secret agreement with Goryeo, so that when the Jurchens invade Japan, they will be greatly damaged, and they can weaken the strong enemy!" Jerodashi raised his voice and suppressed all opposition.

"You're wishful thinking!" Another humane: "I am a mortal enemy with the Jurchen, how can he be fooled?" ”

"I'm seventy percent sure that the Jurchens will be tempted by gold and silver, and if Your Majesty agrees, I will send someone to implement it.

After listening to Yelu Dashi's words, everyone looked at Yelu Yanxi, after a big defeat, could Yelu Yanxi endure humiliation and cooperate with the Jurchens? (To be continued.) )
