May 29 of the third year of Hongxiang, this day is a day that can be recorded in history. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On this day, a group of aliens dressed completely different from the people of Dashun entered Chang'an City, causing the people of Chang'an City to compete to watch. This group of people is dressed very peculiarly, the robes on their bodies are round-necked, narrow-sleeved, with left side and no edge ornaments, but there are pimple buttons. This is very different from the clothing of the Dashun Dynasty, in the territory of Dashun, whether it is the royal relatives of the powerful or the ordinary people, they all love to wear a straight collar, a placket back, because it is comfortable and decent, and it looks elegant and generous.

The most peculiar thing is that the back of the clothes of this group of people is also opened, and when they walk, the clothes behind them swing on both sides, which is quite ridiculous to look at. Their hairstyles are also different from those of the Central Plains, but "hair", and the forms are different. One of them only had a small handful of hair above his forehead and shaved off the rest, which was very funny.

In the face of the pointing and pointing of the people of Chang'an City, this group of people did not have any radical actions. Instead, the leader took the "hall ticket" (pass book) at the gate of the city, and said to the director of the city defense department who came to interrogate: "I am an envoy of the Liao State, and I ask to see the Emperor Dashun and submit the credentials. I also hope that you will tell you, we are grateful! ”

This man spoke half-literately and in a peculiar tone, so that the City Defense Division did not dare to make his own decisions. sent someone to tell Lu Chengqi quickly before making a decision.

Lu Chengqi got the report and said in his heart: "The Supervision Department has long said that the Khitan sent envoys, and I also said why they haven't arrived yet!" It's good to get there, and I'll be able to 'entertain' them when I get there! "Immediately ordered, salute first and then soldiers, let them stay in the Duting North Post first, and then discuss state affairs.

When the officials of the Ministry of Rites got the order, they followed the soldiers of the City Defense Division to Mingdemen, and took this line of Khitan envoys to the Duting Post Station in the north of the city. This official of the Ministry of Rites is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and after carefully asking about the positions of this group of Khitan envoys, he is ready to turn back.

This group of Khitans, headed by Ye Luliang, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, was Tongzhi. When he saw that the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was about to leave, he hurriedly grabbed him and said, "We want to see Emperor Dashun and submit the credentials, and I hope to tell Your Majesty!" ”

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites felt quite amused, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, it is a group of barbarians, and I don't understand this etiquette." If it weren't for His Majesty's summons, how could you have seen Your Majesty! ”

He immediately said: "Don't be impatient, Your Majesty is busy with state affairs, if you have time, you will definitely announce it, don't worry." While you are waiting, you can play in Chang'an City. I am very different from the Khitan, so I can appreciate it. This official will go back to tell Your Majesty, and if you want to meet with you, take your leave! ”

With that, he gently broke free of Yeluliang's hand and strode back to the palace. Lu Chengqi heard that the person who came was the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, and said: "Yo, the officials who came are not small, they are all the second-in-command of the Southern Yuan." I am curious, why did the Liao State suddenly send an envoy this time, you know, in the past 80 years, except for Dashun sent envoys to Liao, I have never seen Liao send envoys to Dashun! Pass the order down, and the good students will entertain them, and they must be happy! The waiter of the Ministry of Rites complied with the order, and after retiring, he went down to make preparations.

That night, there were chamberlains who went to the capital pavilion to pass on the banquet to show the demeanor of a great country and treat each other with courtesy. During this period, Yeluliang once again asked for an audience, and the chamberlain took his leave on the grounds that he could not be the Lord.

Faced with a table of delicacies, Jererian had no appetite. He was worried, only for the task given to him by Yelu Hongji, he must bring Yelu Nelugu and other officers back to the Khitan, these people are experienced generals in a hundred battles, and they must not be lost. That's why he was so anxious to see Lu Chengqi and start negotiations.

It's a pity that Lu Chengqi didn't want to see them so soon, the negotiation was like this, and it was a psychological war. Whoever can't sit still first loses. Lu Chengqi now does not want the Liao Kingdom to attack again, unless Yelu Hongji can lose face and ignore the life and death of his cousin. Otherwise, Lu Chengqi, who was holding Yelu Nerugu's life in his hand, was not worried about the failure of the negotiation at all, this was the biggest trump card in his hand, and if he played well, he could get a lot of substantial benefits.

Just when Yelu Liang didn't know the taste, the envoy of the Goryeo Kingdom, Cui Jie'an, came to the Duting Beiyi and asked to see the envoys of the Liao State. Yeluliang looked down on these wall grasses, but he had read through Han Chinese books since he was a child, and he knew the inferior foundation of the Goryeo Kingdom, and he did not resist it. After all, one more friend is better than one enemy.

After Cui Jie'an came in, he made a gesture to the end and said respectfully: "Cui Jie'an, the envoy of the lower state, meet the angel of the kingdom." ”

When he was in a bad mood, Yeluliang said impatiently, "Why have you come here?" If you don't have anything important, you can leave! ”

Cui Jie'an knows Yeluliang's mood very well, and anyone who takes on such a thankless errand will be angry, let alone the Khitan with an upright temperament. Cui Jie'an smiled bitterly: "Angels, don't be excited, it's been more than ten days since the minister came to Chang'an City, but he has never been summoned." The mind of the little emperor of Dashun is too elusive. The little minister came this time to ask for an audience together, and I am afraid that the little emperor will not be able to refuse. ”

Hearing this, Yeluliang's face was a little better, and he frowned and said, "I haven't been summoned for more than ten days, why is this?" ”

Cui Jie said with peace of mind: "If it weren't for you being so unhelpful and losing the battle under Youzhou City, how would we be here and suffer from that bird's anger?" He didn't dare to say these words, but he just deduced that Lu Chengqi's personality was weird, and he acted entirely by his heart, which was unpredictable.

Yeluliang said with a sad face, "What should I do? ”

Cui Jie'an brought out the thoughts in his heart and discussed them with Yeluliang. Yeluliang is more than steady, but his strategy is insufficient, and when he heard Cui Jie'an's strategy, he applauded again and again.

The next day, the inner servant came and accompanied the Khitan envoys to visit the places of interest in Chang'an City, and also brought a holy decree to allow the "tribute trade" to be carried out within a certain range, and to allow the purchase of treasures and goods of the Great Song Dynasty.

Yeluliang had already been reminded by Cui Jie'an, knowing that this was the little emperor's usual means of delaying time, and thought to himself: "This little emperor of the southerners is really scheming. I must know that I am here to carry a heavy responsibility. In this way, I became impatient and fell into their tricks. It is said that the southerners are cunning, if it weren't for Cui Jie'an's reminder, I would have really followed their way. Anyway, if you plan it, let the little emperor of the southerners hurry up by himself, and he will take the initiative to summon me. ”

After making up his mind, Jerelian gladly agreed to go. As the capital of many dynasties, Chang'an City is extremely prosperous. Merchants from the north and the south are constantly coming and going. The variety of goods is dazzling, and it is dizzying to see Yeluliang. He was in an irritable mood before, where could he see this? At this moment, I was secretly shocked: "The Central Plains is really prosperous, and Shangjing is not as good as it!" I haven't seen the livelihood of Dashun for 80 years, but I didn't expect it to develop to this situation! If one day a horse sets foot in the Central Plains and plunders, wouldn't he be able to get more than a dozen gold mountains? "Nomads are like this, when they see something good, their first reaction is not to buy it, but to grab it. I couldn't beat it, so I recognized that it was my grandson, and I respectfully came to pay tribute. It's no wonder that the law of the grassland is like this, the weak eat the strong, and the fittest survive. Relying on the strong, it is not only the Goryeo Kingdom, but also these steppe peoples.
