Chapter 197: Each Harbors a Ghost Fetus
readx;?? On the second day after receiving the news that the Song envoy wanted to visit Liao, the routine court meeting was held. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Liao Shengzong announced this news, and he hoped to get advice from the minister's mouth, whether to allow this matter or not.
However, just after he announced the news, Han Derang, who has always been the backbone of the imperial court, did not say a word, but many people outside the core of decision-making jumped into this matter.
"Your Majesty." A man standing at the back of the ranks of the ministers stepped forward. Yelu Longxu saw that this person's name was Xiao Wen, and he was also a member of the descendant clan, but he basically couldn't say anything in the decision-making circle.
"The minister thought that His Majesty should allow the envoys sent by the Song Dynasty to enter Daliao to come to offer condolences. This can show the demeanor of my great Liao, and let the Song Dynasty, who has always regarded himself as the Celestial Empire, also see the strength of my Great Liao.
Second, the other party came to mourn the Empress Dowager Xiao, and in the interest of respecting the Empress Dowager's achievements during her lifetime, the Song envoy should also come to mourn. ā
At the beginning of this sentence, Yelu Longxu was more comfortable to listen to, after all, since he was showing the demeanor of a great country, he must have a light on his face as an emperor. But the next sentence made Yelu Longxu a little uncomfortable, what does it mean that out of merit and respect for Empress Dowager Xiao, the Song envoy should also come to mourn? Co-authored Song envoys came to mourn not for the loss of my mother as an emperor, but because of the merits of Empress Dowager Xiao? Those exploits are all the queen mother's, so have my emperor sat in vain all these years.
Thinking of this, a wave of dissatisfaction had already begun to manifest on Yelu Longxu's face.
And at this time, his dissatisfaction was captured by Yelumo in the audience, which made Yelumo feel excited.
What he wants is this dissatisfaction of the emperor, because once the Song envoy comes, no one knows whether it will further provoke the relationship between the emperor and the Empress Dowager Xiao and the party left behind, so it is better to use this dissatisfaction now to directly block the Song envoy from the border of Daliao, although this will also cause the emperor to have some suspicion of the Empress Dowager and the party left behind, but a little suspicion is better than a direct rift.
Thinking of this, Yelu Mo ignored why Han Derang had not said a word about this matter since the beginning of the court meeting, and walked out of the queue directly, and said to the emperor: "It is necessary to start playing, the minister thinks that my Daliao should not let the Song envoy come to mourn, after all, the two countries have just finished a major war, and at this time, the Song envoy came to mourn the queen mother, I don't know what the intention is, I hope Your Majesty will think twice." ā
Just after Yelu Mozhi said these words proudly, he didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, Han Derang, who was standing in the first row of the courtiers' queue, actually stared at him with an incredible look.
However, what he didn't expect was that the emperor's attitude actually changed from dissatisfaction with Xiao Wen's remarks just now to support, and not long after Yelumo finished speaking, the emperor spoke: "I think what Xiao Aiqing said is reasonable, after all, since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, there has been no normal interaction between Liao and Song, and I just take this opportunity to show Song the national strength of my Great Liao."
Therefore, I have approved the matter of the Song Dynasty's envoy visiting Liao, and you should quickly write to the Song Dynasty to inform them and let them get ready. ā
"It's ......." Hearing the emperor's announcement, Yelumo was stunned on the spot. Han Derang on the side could only sigh gloomily, then shook his head and pulled Yelu Mo, who was standing on the spot, back into the minister's team.
After announcing this matter, the emperor did not pay attention to Yelumo who was standing on the spot, but directly announced his retreat from the court, so that the ministers who had other things to play had to go home.
ā¦ā¦
"What's wrong with the emperor? Why did you discuss the issue of a Song envoy today and disperse the dynasty? A minister who had not been able to succeed because of other things asked his colleagues who had quit the court with him.
"I don't know? Today, the whole court will feel that His Majesty is a little weird. The man who was asked said.
And the third person on the side couldn't help but interject: "Isn't it? You didn't look at His Majesty's face when Lord Xiao just finished speaking, and the green ones were a little dark. ā
"It's not surprising, didn't you see that after Lord Yi Li Sumire finished speaking, His Majesty's face was sĆØ, and he immediately changed his attitude, I originally thought that His Majesty would support Yi Li Sumire's proposal."
"Yes, I think so too, looking at His Majesty's previous face, I thought that Lord Yi Li's proposal would definitely be approved by His Majesty."
"Is there something wrong with Your Majesty and Yi Lijin?" are all old fritters who have been in the officialdom for many years, and in the discussion of a few people, the contradiction between Yelu Mo and Yelu Longxu has been almost guessed by these old ghosts.
"I said that Lord Han didn't say a word today, it turns out that there may be such a thing."
"Just a few of us know about this, don't spread the word."
ā¦ā¦
And here, after the dispersal of the dynasty, Yelu Mo is still confused, he still hasn't figured out what happened in the court, he obviously followed the emperor's dissatisfaction and then put forward his opposition to Xiao Wen, why after he put forward his opinion, the emperor came to a 180-degree change and became in favor of Xiao Wen's proposal.
Han Derang, who was on the side, looked at Yelu Mo's unyielding appearance, and couldn't help but shake his head again. In fact, it is not Jerymus's fault that it has evolved into the current situation.
He, Han Derang, has to bear a large part of the responsibility for this matter. Although Yelu Mogui was the Liao State Yili Sumire, he actually did not have too direct contact with Yelu Longxu.
After all, when Empress Dowager Xiao was still there, basically all national affairs were decided by Empress Dowager Xiao and Han Derang, and Yelu Longxu was just a rubber stamp.
This also made Yelu Mo basically discuss important matters with these two people, and with Emperor Yelu Longxu there was only a general friendship between monarchs and ministers.
Yelu Longxu knows Yelu Mo quite well, but Yelu Mo doesn't know anything about Yelu Longxu's personality, preferences, and even acting style.
"Teacher, how can this be."
"It's not your fault, it's only that the Queen Mother and I have been too much of a big Liao decision-making over the years, resulting in you not having in-depth contact with the emperor and not understanding the emperor.
Don't look at our majesty is almost forty years old now, but because he has been under the protection of the Queen Mother for many years, there are still some places in the emperor's heart that are no different from a child.
Especially when he encounters someone he doesn't like to give him advice, he always likes to go against him. In short, he will oppose everything you support, and he will support everything you oppose. ā
Indeed, as Han Derang said, when Yelu Mo raised his opinion against the Song envoy's coming, Yelu Longxu's first reaction in his heart was not that this was exactly what I wanted, but what was the purpose of your Empress Dowager's party raising objections?
Due to the distrust of the Queen Mother's party after the pro-government, Yelu Longxu did not believe what Yelu Mo said at all.
In Yelu Longxu's heart, Yelu Mo's ill-intentioned intentions are at most to probe my Great Liao's military situation and national strength, Yelu Longxu thinks that he is not a fool, he understands very well that the current Liao's ** situation and national strength are nothing worth exploring by the Song people.
In the past few years, because of the ascension of the new emperor to the throne, both military strength and national strength have undergone qualitative changes by leaps and bounds. This is no longer something that Liao can catch up.
The Song people came this time, and perhaps the biggest purpose was really to mourn the Empress Dowager Xiao, and at most to ridicule the Great Liao Imperial Court.
What's more, at the moment when Yelu Mo raised his objection, Yelu Longxu suddenly had a new idea, that is, to poach the envoy team of the Song Dynasty.
After all, Yelu Longxu believes that there is no one in the world who cannot be bought, and as long as the price is enough, he will definitely be able to dig up useful people from the Song envoy's team.
Yelu Longxu really wanted to know why Song had become so strong in such a short period of time, and the cannons and rifles made the Khitan army that crisscrossed the grassland powerless.
ā¦ā¦
"Teacher, what should I do now?" In view of the fact that there was no way to change the status quo, Yelumo then turned to Han Derang for help, hoping to know what to do after the Song envoy came.
"Now you can only take one step at a time, but you send people to keep an eye on the Song envoy's team, starting from the time they have entered the Great Liao Kingdom. Perhaps the purpose of the Song envoy team is not only to separate our monarchs and ministers and strengthen the emperor's resentment against the queen mother. Do you remember the fact that a large number of small tribes ran to Yanyun in the past year? ā
Of course, Yelu Mo also knew about this kind of thing, and this matter had also caused a lot of dislike in the Liao court, but the Liao court could not stop this matter, because at that time, after losing Yan Yun, the Liao country lost its largest granary. After experiencing the blizzard, the Liao court did not have much food reserves, so it was powerless to prevent the small and medium-sized tribes from escaping.
"Could it be that Song still wants to do this kind of thing again? You must know that even if our people pass, the fact that there are too few pastoral areas in the Song cannot be changed. I think that the pastoral area of Guangyanyun should have been filled by the herdsmen they had absorbed before, so did they have any other way to attract herdsmen? ā
"I don't know about this, but in short, it shouldn't be wrong to sail the ship carefully and keep an eye on the mission of the Song Dynasty."
ā¦ā¦
Ten days later, the envoy team that had been waiting in Yanyun finally got permission from the Liao side to enter Liao. They were already ready to go, so they immediately set off for Shangjing, the capital of Liao.
When they set off, the officials of Hebei North Road led by Liu Rang and Yang Yanzhao were all present to see off the team.
"Lord Liu, General Yang will send it here, and I will definitely live up to His Majesty's entrustment." As the head of the mission, Jiang Yu began to say goodbye to the officials who saw him off when the officials in Hebei were about to send them to Liao.
"Okay, since Wufeng said so, then we won't send it anymore. Here, I wish Lord Jiang a triumphant return. ā
Just after both sides said goodbye, the mission officially left the Song Realm and entered the Liao Realm.
Liu Rang, who was watching the procession pass by on the border, said to Yang Yanzhao: "I really don't know what this team will make of Liao." ā
"Yes, their combat effectiveness may be stronger than the army, let's wait and see." (To be continued.) )
