Chapter Twenty-Six: Who Became a Subject of Western Xia
Yang Jian was also shocked when he heard Qin Minxue's words. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but this Yang Jian is different from others, as a eunuch who can control the government with Tong Guan in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, Yang Jian must have his superiority. It can be said that this is the sorrow of the Northern Song Dynasty, and in the real history, the backer relied on by the Ximen officials was also Yang Jian, who has not yet completely shown his true face today.
If ordinary people were afraid that when they heard this, they would immediately think about how to tell Song Yingzong, at least they would show a trace of surprise, but Yang Jian's doubts were only that he frowned slightly. Then he said lightly: "What Luoyang Senior Citizens Association, don't they know that this dynasty is the most taboo to form a party for personal gain?" I see, it's mostly hearsay. Behold, even if you knew this, it would be better to say less, and now you are too busy to take care of yourself, and what others do. β
Qin Minxue nodded hurriedly in response, and said a lot of good things to Yang Jian, so he hurriedly walked out of the palace and towards the mansion. Along the way, Qin Minxue was psychologically messy, originally he didn't regret liking Lin Xiuxiu, but now Lin Xiuxiu has also been ransomed, and he has won a beautiful home, but it has affected his career, which he didn't expect. Originally, he was thinking about asking his teacher Wang Jue to come forward, so he went to Wang Jue's mansion to meet Wang Jue, just in time for Wang Jue to pick up his son-in-law Li Gefei.
This Wang Jue is a rare talent in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, but when Yingzong was in power, he suspected that Wang Jue was disloyal to him, so he did not take the responsibility. After ascending the throne, Zhao Ji of the Song Dynasty loved his literary talents very much, and immediately after ascending the throne, he promoted him to a bachelor's decree and drafted major regulations for the court. As an auxiliary minister, some people call him "the three wills (taking the will, receiving the will, and obtaining the will)", saying that he has always obeyed the will and protected himself.
Qin Minxue and Wang Fang are not in harmony, others don't know, but Li Gefei knows a little, plus Wang Jue himself is a wise person to protect himself, so Qin Minxue wanted to leave Wang Jue's relationship and hit a soft nail. Thinking about it, most of the officials in the DPRK and China are trying to protect themselves, besides, Qin Minxue can't tell others, because I robbed the emperor of the woman he likes, so the emperor doesn't want to see me.
Coming out of the imperial city, Qin Minxue has been frozen for a few hours and understands that instead of being like now, it is better to ask the emperor to transfer him out of the capital, at least the emperor is far away, and he can still be at ease in the local area.
Turning the day, Zhao Ji was early. I thought that there would be a battle report from the front line from the reinforcements next to the king, but there was still none. Zhao Ji had no choice but to suppress Zhenrong's recital and turn back to discuss it. The privy envoy played, and Xiao Ying, the ambassador of the Liao State, came to the Great Song Dynasty and asked to meet Song Shenzong, and Shenzong summoned Xiao Ying in the Vertical Arch Hall after the decree was dispersed.
Today, Zhao Ji didn't want to delay any more time, and he hadn't thought about Sima Guang's request for transfer. After all, in his opinion, Sima Guang also advocates reform, even if there is no practical plan, it should always be no problem to assist Wang Anshi in doing things. Shenzong was just about to announce his retirement from the dynasty, and Xu Zun, the governor of Dengzhou, was on the fold and impeached the trial court and Dali Temple for unfairness.
This incident was caused by a murder case, after the death of the mother of Ayun, a woman from Dengzhou, the mourning time was not over, so she married Wei Ada, a local farmer. But Ayun suspected that Wei Ada's appearance was unsightly and ugly, and he was ready to kill Wei Ada's knife at night, Wei Ada's injuries were more than ten places, and a finger was cut off, but Wei Ada's life was not lost, and Ayun surrendered to the judicial authorities after committing the crime. After the case was reported to the Criminal Court and Dali Temple, the Criminal Court and Dali Temple held that the case should be judged in accordance with the imperial decree for marriage in violation of the law, and Ah Yun should be exempted from the death penalty. However, Xu Zun, the governor of Dengzhou, believed that the case should be tried in accordance with the relevant laws of the state, and the two sides disputed, so the case was transferred to the Criminal Department, which also agreed with the opinions of the Dali Temple and the Criminal Court. However, Xu Zun thought that it was unreasonable to use the provisions of the imperial decree to impose a sentence, so he simply impeached Dali Temple and the trial court.
While listening to Xu Zun's recital, Zhao Ji looked at the officials in the court, the border pass was still at war, and these officials couldn't even try the case back and forth. He forcibly suppressed his anger, his eyes fell on Sima Guang, and saw that Sima Guang's eyes were slightly closed, as if the controversy in the court had nothing to do with him. Looking at Wang Anshi again, he lowered his head and pondered, as if he was thinking about something.
This Sima Guang and Wang Anshi originally had a good relationship, or they usually did not communicate their views enough, Zhao Ji thought so, so he sent a decree to Sima Guang and Wang Anshi to try the case together. Let the two of you do one thing, there should always be a communication. Anyway, what Zhao Ji wants is a result, at least so that the two of them can have more contact through this case and understand each other more.
Then Zhao Ji issued an order to let Yun Jie resume publication, Shen Kuo, and Sima Guang were specifically responsible for this matter. For his decision, Zhao Ji is still quite satisfied, this emperor is sometimes fooled Zhao Ji feels like he is coaxing a group of old men, and there are such a bunch of old stubborn people in this court, talking every day but not doing much, even Zhao Ji feels that Wang Anshi's ideas are now like lead-filled legs for him, stepping on a pile of cotton, and his feet are soft and unable to take steps to implement.
After retiring from the dynasty, Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang, the two prime ministers, accompanied the emperor in the vertical arch hall, and Xiao Ying was taken into the palace by the guards. It is not the first time that Xiao Ying, the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty, has come. Every time I come, I will change an emperor, from Song Renzong to Song Yingzong, and then to the new emperor Zhao Ji in front of me.
Xiao Ying explained to Zhao Ji that he came to the Great Song Dynasty to meet the new emperor, congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne, and wish the Song and Liao countries to be an alliance forever, and the world will be peaceful. After saying this, he peeked at Zhao Ji. The emperor and ministers in this palace, this is the old and the young. The two prime ministers are both sixty or seventy years old, and this little emperor is only in his early twenties. But the little emperor in his early twenties, after listening to what he had just said, smiled slightly and said a word of appreciation, and said nothing else.
Looking at his calm appearance, don't you know how powerful my Da Liao is? Xiao Ying thought so, but he didn't dare to despise Zhao Ji, this emperor was much stronger than his father Song Yingzong. Although he is young, Zhao Ji's eyebrows do not have the hesitation of Song Yingzong and Zhao Shu, but he is a little more confident than Zhao Shu.
Anyway, Song Liao has the Tanyuan Alliance, and besides, this little emperor has just ascended the throne, so he will not be disrespectful to Liao. Xiao Ying then said that there was another purpose for this trip to the Great Song Dynasty, that is, to come for the affairs of Western Xia. It was not right for Western Xia to disturb the Great Song Dynasty, but for the sake of Western Xia being a vassal state of Liao, Liao was willing to come forward to mediate the war between Song and Xia. After Xiao Ying finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Ji with a friendly smile.
Zhao Ji looked at the two prime ministers: "Prime Minister Han, Prime Minister Zeng, what do you two think about this matter?" β
The two prime ministers are in unison: "Since the Liao State has come forward, my Great Song Dynasty should have the demeanor of a great country." β
Zhao Ji smiled when he heard this: "Ambassador Xiao, you say this, I can't be the master!" β
As soon as he said this, everyone in the palace was stunned for a moment, how could the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty say that he couldn't do the Lord's things. Zhao Ji explained: "This time the leader of the troops is my Song Dynasty's Zhennan Wang Wang, presumably Ambassador Xiao also knows this person next to Wang. I promised the King of Zhennan that this time it was not only to resist the Western Xia attack, but also to let him make decisions according to the actual situation in wartime. As you all know, the generals are not affected by the orders of the foreign army, and besides, the dispatch of troops by our dynasty is sponsored by the issuance of bonds by the king of Zhennan. If you Liao come to persuade you to withdraw your troops, then we will withdraw our troops, and whose military expenses will be counted for the war? Could it be that the Liao State will give it? β
After Zhao Ji's words were finished, Han Qi and Zeng Gongliang, who were sitting, grinned, why did the emperor have the same copper smell as the king. Opening your mouth and closing your mouth is military spending and silver, doesn't this make Liao look flat? can see that what Zhao Ji said is reasonable, and the two prime ministers feel that Zhao Ji is really poisoned by the king.
I can't see that such a weak little emperor has his own set of truths. This is talking to Liao Guo about the conditions, Xiao Ying smiled: "King Zhennan is really a rare talent, and he can do his best for the Song monarch, which can be described as the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty." However, the Great Song Dynasty will not even give me this little face for the sake of a thousand taels of silver. β
Zhao Ji thought to himself, face? How much is face worth, and the face is not enough to fit the thirty-two warehouses he built in the palace. He looked at the two prime ministers bowing their heads and was silent, and scolded psychologically, two old guys, none of them is useful at a critical time. At this time, he really wanted the king to be next to him, he didn't want the king to withdraw his troops, but when he withdrew his troops like this, the temper next to the king fell and left, and he couldn't help it.
After all, Zhao Ji is not an ordinary person, although he is more naΓ―ve than Wang Bei, but after all, he is also the eldest son of Song Zong, and he was trained as the successor of the royal family, he still said confidently: "During the Qingli period of Song Renzong, Western Xia and my Great Song Dynasty signed the 'Qingli Peace Conference'. The peace agreement stipulated: Yuan Hao canceled the emperor title and accepted the canonization of the Song Dynasty; opening up border trade between the two sides, etc. According to the Qingli Peace Conference, Western Xia is a vassal state of my Great Song Dynasty, and as a vassal country, it is natural to fight. How could it be the turn of the Great Liao to say that Western Xia was a vassal state of the Great Liao? β
Xiao Ying secretly admired when he heard this, this emperor is very assertive, don't look at his young age, but Xiao Ying will not give in so much, he nodded and said, "What Emperor Song said is right, but this Qingli peace agreement was signed between Guibang and Western Xia in the fourth year of Qingli. But as early as the tenth year of Tiansheng, Liao Xingzong named the daughter of the clan as Princess Xingping and married Yuan Hao. In the second year of Qingli, Li Yuanhao asked for peace with Daliao after provoking the defeat of Daliao, and was already willing to serve as a vassal of Daliao. Therefore, from my Da Liao point of view, the Western Xia has always been a vassal state of my Liao State, and since your Great Song Dynasty said that the Western Xia surrendered to you, why did you give the Western Xia New Year coin 130,000 horses, 50,000 taels of silver and 20,000 catties of tea every year, and the Northern Song Dynasty paid the New Year's coin to become a 'king', which is a bit untrue. β
Zhao Ji looked at the two prime ministers, these two didn't seem to have the intention of answering for Zhao Ji at all, they were silent one by one, Zhao Ji was so angry, if it wasn't for the presence of foreigners, he immediately quit these two and let them go home and close their eyes to retire.
Although he thought so in his heart, Zhao Ji's face still did not change, he sneered and said: "The New Year's coin is a reward for the vassal country, as my Great Song Dynasty, of course I don't care about this, but if I take the money and fight against the lord, I should give some lessons." β
If this talk continues, there will definitely be no results, and the conversation between Zhao Ji and Xiao Ying has reached an impasse.
