Chapter 33 The Mediation of the Liao Dynasty
Xiao Ying came back from Western Xia and met Wang Bi and Yue Li in the big tent, and made it clear that Liang Luoyao had agreed to Wang Bi's conditions. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Wang can see from Xiao Ying's expression that Xiao Ying seems to be a little worried. But Wang Bian judged that Xiao Ying would not hide such a big thing as peace talks. Therefore, after the deliberations, the king invited Xiao Ying to his tent.
Seeing the attendants set up a banquet in the tent, Wang Bi motioned for others to retreat, and there were only two people in the big tent, Wang Bi and Xiao Ying, so he asked, "King Xiao might as well say anything directly." β
Xiao Ying said: "Don't worry, the prince, since Liang Luoyao of Xixia has agreed to the conditions you proposed, I will definitely personally supervise this matter to be done thoroughly." β
Wang Bei smiled and raised his glass and said, "Then there is King Lao Xiao!" β
Xiao Ying smiled slightly: "Where is there any need to say that there is labor, I can't go back to Daliao if this thing is not done." β
This was said very modestly, and the king looked at Xiao Ying, and there seemed to be a bit of helplessness in his subtle expression. The two of them raised their glasses and drank it all, and the king asked: "If this matter goes well, it is estimated that it will be basically solved in another ten days and half a month." I would like to ask King Xiao to stay in Da Song for some time, and I will do my best to be a landlord when I go back to the capital. β
Xiao Ying shook his head: "I think that's probably not going to work!" β
The king asked tentatively, "Oh? Could it be that King Xiao is still in a hurry to return to Daliao? β
Xiao Ying was originally very friendly to Wang Bei, and after thinking about it, it seemed that he might as well talk about what he was worried about, so he said: "I can't stay in Da Song temporarily, it's not that I'm in a hurry to go back to Da Liao, but I can't go back to Da Liao for the time being." β
Wang Bei filled Xiao Ying's cup with wine, and asked, "Brother Xiao's words have confused the little brother!" "Originally, before Wang Bi became the prince, he was more familiar with Xiao Ying, and when he was in Liao, he often called each other brothers in private. Now a few glasses of wine are down, and there are no outsiders around, so there is no need to be so restrained.
Xiao Ying said: "I'll tell you the truth, I can just ask you for an idea." Do you know why I went to Xixia and came back so quickly, and Liang Luoyao agreed to your conditions so quickly? β
Wang Bi shook his head, and Xiao Ying continued: "When I set off, I passed on my brother's conditions to Da Liao. By the time of Western Xia, Yelu Yixin had already arrived first. β
"So, Yelu Yixin has already persuaded Liang Luoyao?" The king asked.
Xiao Ying said: "It's not just persuasion, this time Yelu Yixin came with the order of my Daozong Emperor and the gold and silver of my Liao Dynasty to fund Western Xia." β
"What?" Wang was also surprised when he heard this, he originally thought that the Liao State would talk about peace, and even give out gold and silver, what is the reason?
Xiao Ying drank a glass of wine, poured it for the king, and then said, "Are you strange? At first, I was also surprised, but then I realized when I heard what Jereth Yixin said. Dare to love is our Emperor Daozong, looking at the grain stamps of Goryeo made the Liao State earn a lot of money. He said and stretched out three fingers, "You can't think of it, 30 million taels of silver!" In this way, it entered the treasury, and in addition to the increase in taxes in Liao in recent years, the treasury revenue has increased significantly. So, the Holy One thinks it's a good idea. There is no need to occupy at all, and there is a need to bother to govern. It is better to follow the example of that year and lend money to Western Xia, so that they can repay the interest to Liao in the future. β
"Damn, Emperor Daozong plans to rule the country by usury?" After Wang Bian finished speaking, seeing Xiao Ying looking at him in surprise, Wang Bian shook his head and thought to himself, the situation in Western Xia and Goryeo is different. Historically, the coup d'Γ©tat in Goryeo was not until 1170, and it is still a hundred years away. So Wang Ben dared to go to Bo for this Goryeo loan. Besides, it was not Goryeo who paid for the Goryeo loan in the end, but the Japanese slave state, of course, the king was sure.
The situation in Western Xia was different, the economy was very fragile at the moment, and civil strife was common in Western Xia. According to the historical information that Wang Fang can grasp, Liang Luoyao will be usurped by his brother named Liang Yibury within a few decades after listening to the government. said that this is relatively far, and that it is close is that Xixia borrowed money but no one helped him pay for it, and Wang Fang came to Liang Luoyao this time, if Wang Pan turned his face, Liao's investment in Western Xia would be wasted.
This is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome thing is that Wang Bi has to think about the position of the Liao State in this matter, and if Wang Bi lets the Liao State's money go down the drain, then Song Liao will really turn his face. But he can't say this to Xiao Ying now.
Xiao Ying saw that the look next to the king was a little strange, and he also wondered: "Brother Xian, I understand the second half of the sentence." What do I mean? β
The king immediately came back to his senses, raised his glass and said, "Praise! Exclamation, praise the emperor for drawing inferences from one another, smart! β
Xiao Ying said with a smile: "The Daoist Saint is wise, I rely on it!" I'm going to be a collector in the Daliao Embassy in Western Xia. β
The king couldn't help laughing, and lowered his head to drink to cover up. "So, Brother Xiao is going to stay in Western Xia?"
Xiao Ying nodded, shook his head again and said, "The leader of the Hindrance Department rebelled, I really don't want to stay." You also said that I relied on the Taoist sect to be smart, and I think he was smart and confused for a while. How can this debt collector's work be done by this king? That's just one of my worries! β
With one, there are two, three. The king did not stop Xiao Ying, he filled Xiao Ying with wine, and Xiao Ying drank it all. After these glasses of wine, Xiao Ying opened her heart. He said with a little dissatisfaction: "That Liang Luoyao, I really don't look as dignified as our Empress Xiao." This Yelu Yixin actually stayed in the Xixia Palace for many days, I heard that this woman is very light, do you think she will use any beauty tricks to confuse my Minister of Daliao? β
"This is the second thing that Brother Xiao is worried about, right? I think Brother Xiao thinks too much, even if she has an attempt, Yelu Yixin may not give him a chance! Even Wang Bi himself didn't believe what he said, but he just wanted to see Xiao Ying's reaction.
Sure enough, Xiao Ying sneered and said to herself: "I hope I think too much!" β
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Wang Jian asked, "Then what other concerns does Brother Xiao have?" β
Xiao Ying raised his head, looked directly at the king and said: "This concern is three, naturally I came by order, and I also know a little about the virtuous brother, I am worried that the virtuous brother will go back on his word and not believe it!" β
Wang Bian's brows furrowed slightly, Xiao Ying's words were too direct, but Wang Bian didn't know how to answer. Wang Bi really thought about it, and used Liang Luoyao to come to Zhenrong to pick up Li Liangzuo's body and destroy Liang Luoyao.
Seeing that Wang didn't answer, Xiao Ying smiled and said, "Look, I'm right, right?!" Brother, I advise you, state affairs are state affairs, and private affairs are private affairs. But don't worry, if you really have your own plans, I will never complain about you as a big brother. β
Wang Bi understood that if he reversed himself, the whole thing would be tantamount to leaving Xiao Ying behind. But thinking that his son was destroyed in the hands of Liang Luoyao, Wang Bi was really unwilling. Xiao Ying didn't mention it anymore, and talked about other topics, and the two continued to drink and chat, as if they hadn't said anything just now.
A few days later, the holy decree reached Zhenrong, and due to the protection of the king, Zhi Kejun broke the rules and added the title of Zhenrong's Zhijun. The king can protect Kejun, this is not his wishful thinking. After Wang resigned that year, he recommended Zhi Kejun and others to be guards beside Zhao Ji. So Zhe Kejun, Zhang Ping and others are also very familiar with Zhao Ji. Especially in the border areas, it is very suitable to have a loyal general like Zhi Kejun.
When the officials of Zhenrong heard the news, they knew that Zhi Kejun was the general next to the king, and they were even more cautious. Those officials who thought about disobeying the yang and the yin or waiting for the king to leave before making plans were also dead at this time. The guards next to the king and the lieutenant generals in the army all congratulated Zhe Kejun with happy smiles. I am even more happy that Wang can protect the people around him, and it must be right to follow King Zhennan to do a good job, isn't this an example of General Zhe. Zhi Kejun took office as Zhenrong, and instructed Zhi Keshi to follow the king well.
Two days later, Tanma reported that there was a team in Western Xia, holding white flags, was coming to Zhenrong.
The army beside the king stood west of Zhenrong, and the army of Western Xia stopped two or three miles in front of the army. A Kowloon chariot stood out in the procession, with four horses and fifty soldiers escorting the left and right, hugging the Kowloon Station in the center of the Xixia queue.
Next to the king, Yue Li and others were also riding on horses, looking at the Western Xia team opposite, a person came out of the Western Xia team, and Wang recognized at a glance that it was Li Liangzuo's tent shouting to arrest people. He held a copy of the Empress Dowager's edict in his hand and walked between the two armies to read it. What is the specific content, Wang Bi is too lazy to listen, which roughly means that the Western Xia admitted defeat and made compensation to the Great Song Dynasty. Wang Bin stared at Fang Dang angrily, and suddenly Xiao Ying beside him said: "Lord Wang, if you can, let Xixia send the returned New Year's coins and compensation!" β
The king nodded indifferently, and Xiao Ying stepped forward and said: "I am Xiao Ying, the envoy of the Liao State, and I have come to mediate the disputes between Song and Xia this time, hoping to do their part." Empress Dowager of Western Xia, please order your soldiers to offer gold and silver! β
With little effort, the Western Xia soldiers drove out several carriages from behind, and the carriages were full of boxes. The carriage walked between the two armies, Wang Fang glanced at Zhang Ping, and Zhang Ping stepped forward with Xiao Ying. The box is full of gold, silver and jewelry, and every box is worth training. Soldiers of the Song army took over the carriages containing gold and silver chests. At this time, from behind the Song army, a team of several hundred Western Xia soldiers came out, and they also drove a car, on which was Li Liangzuo's coffin.
"Wait!" The king called the chariot driver of the Xixia soldiers, turned to the person behind him and said, "Without my order, stay here honestly, I will go to do some private business!" Saying that, he followed the coffin to the middle of the two armies, and shouted: "Liang Luoyao, you come out for me and personally pick up your husband back!" β
"Lord Wang......" Xiao Ying wanted to say something to stop the king, and the king said to Xiao Ying: "King Xiao, let Liang Luoyao personally pick up Li Liangzuo's bones, this is not the condition I just added, since she agreed, let people come over!" β
Xiao Ying really has nothing to say, all he can do is to be as careful as possible to prevent Liang Luoyao from having any accidents.
The curtain of the Nine Dragons car was opened, and Liang Luoyao, supported by the eunuch, actually got out of the car and walked towards Li Liangzuo's coffin.
