Chapter 19 Western Xia Asks for Help
In the palace of Dading Mansion in Jingdao in the Liao Kingdom, the sound of chime, zheng, flute, flute, sheng and other golden stones, silk and bamboo sounded, and the sound was like fairy music. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info accompanied by the sound of this fairy music, ten beautiful palace maids, dressed in a morning glow-like neon dress and feather clothes dancing the dance of the fairy in the moon, Yelu Hongji looked intoxicated, especially the palace maid who led the dance, wearing a peacock green dress on the upper body, a moon-white skirt on the lower body, a xia veil on the shoulders, and a "step shaking crown" on the head, dressed like a fairy, dancing gracefully and gracefully, intoxicated and elegant.
Empress Xiao Guanyin looked at the emperor beside her with bright eyes, slightly open his mouth and saliva about to be released, coughed lightly, and then clapped three times, and the music stopped.
Yelu Hongji obviously looked unfinished, and said dissatisfiedly: "The dance is over so soon? What kind of song is this? ”
Xiao Guanyin smiled slightly: "Shengshang, this is the Tang Dynasty's neon clothes and feather clothes song, I specially arranged for the king to return to Beijing, but this song has not been completely handed down, to the fifth generation, the Southern Tang Dynasty master Li Yu got the residual score, Zhaohui Hou Zhou E Huang and the musician Cao Sheng according to the score to find the sound to make up the song, only then there are these ...... now"
"Oh, the song is good, you don't need to tell this king so much, just let them dance again!"
"Holy ......" Xiao Guanyin glanced at Yelu Hongji, his eyes swept His Highness and whispered: "Today, all the Jurchen tribes have leaders to pay tribute to the Holy Lord, you should give some rewards to appease the tribes." Don't patronize for fun. ”
Yelu Hongji frowned slightly: "Do you want to teach this king how to do it?" ”
Xiao Guanyin hurriedly lowered his head: "The concubine doesn't dare!" Fortunately, their conversation was very quiet, and the Liao officials and leaders of the various departments accompanying them in the tent were drinking freely at this moment, so only Yelu Liangren, who was serving the emperor, could faintly hear it.
Yelu Liangren thought to himself, it seems that the queen's hard work has been in vain again. was thinking about how to let the queen out of the siege, when he suddenly heard a quarrel in the tent. The chieftain of the Jurchen Wanyan Division, Wanyan Agunai, and the Turtle Guzada of the Turtle Ancient Division, seemed to have some unpleasantness.
The Wanyan tribe and the turtle ancient tribe are now the two largest tribes among the Jurchens, and when it comes to this, we must first talk about the Jurchens. In the Liao Dynasty, the Jurchen people in the Songhua River valley had "seventy-two tribes", thousands of miles in place, with a population of more than 100,000 households, scattered between the valleys. Gradually, the Jurchens were united by scattered clan tribes.
The Liao people's policy towards the Jurchens was to practice "divide and rule". They deceived the surname of Qiangzong to the Liaodong Peninsula and incorporated it into the Khitan nationality, which was called "Hesu Pavilion", also known as Hosu Pavilion and Hesu Gon, which means "fence" in Jurchen language. These people are "mature women". The other part stayed in the north of Sumoshui (the northern section of the Songhua River) and the east of Ningjiang Prefecture (now Fuyu County, Jilin), and these people were the "Shengnuzhen". The Jurchen tribes were numerous, and their dwellings were more scattered. So how to manage is the most headache for the Liao people.
The Wanyan tribe was originally not a Liao nationality, but because of its contribution to assisting Wang Bian to quell the Luanhe Rebellion for Yelu Hongji, he granted Liao nationality and was crowned as the Jurchen king. After a long time, Yelu Hongji and the officials of the Liao court found that this method of using the Jurchens to manage the Jurchens was still very good, so in addition to the Wanyan tribe being responsible for the jurisdiction of the northern Jurchens, they also set up the Southern Jurchen Kingdom Dawangfu and the Southern Jurchen Tanghe Division to govern; The Yalu River Jurchen is under the jurisdiction of the Yalu River Jurchen Palace; Changbai Mountain Jurchen Department: distributed in the area of Changbai Mountain, under the jurisdiction of the Jurchen Mansion of Changbai Mountain; Pulumao Duobu; It is distributed in the Hailan River basin, and is under the jurisdiction of the Dawang Mansion of the Pulu Maoduo Department.
Turtle Gu Zhada is the king of the Southern Jurchen, the turtle ancient department, distributed in the Buku River, Songhua River, Heilongjiang River confluence; Unlike the Wanyan tribe that relied on trade for development, the turtle ancient tribe used the terrain to set up barriers at the confluence of rivers. It is claimed that this river is driven by me, and all boats passing through must pay river maintenance fees.
Wanyan Agu is a very upright person, and naturally he can't get used to what Turtle Gu Zhada did, so he took the opportunity to pay tribute to the emperor today and accused Turtle Gu Zha Answer in person. And the turtle Guzada also had a hearty speech, and the two quarreled without giving in to each other.
"The dignified Jurchen King of the South actually behaves like a thief!" Wanyan Agunai said indignantly.
Turtle Guzada was in his forties, and said unconvinced with a big belly: "We rely on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to eat the water, if you talk about bandits, your Wanyan tribe is not much better." You didn't rely on the mistakes of the Wendu Ministry, the Pucha Ministry, and Hule back then to let you take advantage of it, I'm afraid that now your Wanyan tribe is just like a bandit. ”
It was quite a happy and peaceful atmosphere just now, but at this moment, the two Jurchen kings glared angrily, and the attention in the big tent was focused on these two. Some ministers looked at the two people strangely, and some sneered at the quarrel between the two: "Look, giving birth to a girl is really like this." There are no rules for the Holy Summons. They whispered in their seats.
Xiao Ying, the king of the North Courtyard, stared at the turtle Guzha and replied, "The two Jurchen kings, there is something to say, is there anything that can't be said in front of the saint now?" If you think you're a thief, what are you doing in this palace?! ”
His words were obviously aimed at the turtle Guzha, Xiao Ying had a good impression of Wanyan Agunai, and Xiao Ying was also present when the Pingluan River was in turmoil. Now all the meritorious ministers have been promoted to high positions, such as Xiao Ying is now the king of the North Court, Yeluren is the king of the South Court, Xin Zan is already the prime minister of the South, and Yelu Yixin is now the privy envoy of the South Court, and he has also been crowned King Zhao. So what any one of these people says, is quite weighty.
Turtle Guzha replied to Xiao Ying's reprimand, opened his mouth and was about to say something, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Yelu Yixin staring at him, so he hurriedly endured what he wanted to say.
"What's the matter?" Yelu Hongji's attention was also attracted, so he asked curiously.
Yelu Yixin, the privy envoy of the Southern Court, hurriedly said: "The enlightenment of the saints is a trivial matter between some tribes. After that, he turned his head and said to Turtle Gu Zha and Wanyan Agunai: "What King Xiao Ying said is very true, what are you doing today? Trivial things are going to be brought to the bowl? ”
Turtle Gu Zha replied no more, and Wanyan Agunai said: "Holy Lord, Turtle Gu Zhada connived at his subordinates to rob and plunder, and those who pass through his waters must pay money, and it is impossible to pay as much as they want. Merchants and ordinary people are complaining, I don't think he is worthy of being the king of the Southern Jurchen! ”
"Oh? And such a thing? Yelu Yixin, are you the Southern Privy Envoy know about this? Yeluhong was basically said by the queen just now, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart, and when he saw someone impeaching, he asked with a black face.
The Privy Council of the Liao State is also divided into north and south, and the North Privy Council is in charge of the military and political affairs of the whole country, similar to the military department of the Tang Dynasty; The Southern Privy Council is in charge of the election, Ding Fu and other policies. Yelu Yixin hurriedly said: "The Holy One is angry, I think there is a misunderstanding in this matter. He turned his head and glared at the turtle Gu Zha and Wanyan Agunai, when is it not good to quarrel, but he has to go to the palace to quarrel.
Fortunately, Yelu Hongji didn't dwell on this matter, he waved his hand and said: "Okay, you Jurchen kings can go to Zhongjing Palace to meet this king, and this king is also very happy, and after you go back, you can govern the tribe under your jurisdiction well." Come, reward them! With that, he stood up, and the man of Jerew took the lead and said, "Congratulations to the Holy One!" ”
Xiao Ying hurriedly said at this time: "Stay in the Holy Step!" If the emperor is let go, it is estimated that he will not see anyone for several days, although it is not a court meeting now, but there is something to Yelu Hongji to make a decision.
Yelu Hongji stood and looked at Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying hurriedly handed over a letter and said, "Holy Lord, the envoys of Western Xia are here. The Song Dynasty sent troops to attack Western Xia, Li Liangzuo died, and now the Empress of Western Xia wants to ask Liao to come forward, you have to make an idea about this matter. ”
The topic seemed to pique Jeluhonki's interest: "Oh? Li Liangzuo is dead? How did he die? Didn't Li Liangzuo send troops? He had just gotten up to leave, when he sat down again.
Xiao Ying said: "Originally, it was Li Liangzuo who attacked Song, and you also know that this kid can't be idle. As a result, the Great Song Dynasty sent a general to lead troops to resist, not only resisting Li Liangzuo's attack, but also killing Li Liangzuo, and attacking Western Xia with a counterattack. Now the Western Xia is under attack, and even the Tibetans are harassing the Western Xia. ”
As soon as Xiao Ying said, he heard His Royal Highness's quacky laughter: "Li Liangzuo's son is only four or five years old, I heard that Queen Liang is as beautiful as a fairy, why not be better than the Holy Lord to bring his widow over with him on the grounds of rescuing the soldiers?" ”
Xiao Ying looked at the voice in disgust, and it was the Southern Jurchen King Gu Zada who spoke. Xiao Ying said angrily: "Shut up, you don't have the right to speak here!" ”
Yelu Hongji smiled: "Haha, the words are not rough, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Yeluren didn't speak for a long time, and then he stood up and said: "Holy Lord, I don't think it's appropriate, Xixia is my vassal country, and the courtiers have been beaten, so our Da Liao should come forward." Moreover, my Daliao is sparsely populated, so it is not appropriate to expand too much. Moreover, this Western Xia has always been a barrier between my Liao State and Tubo, and over the years, the Western Xia has bowed down to Liao and has been married. I think this favor should help. ”
Xiao Ying shook his head and smiled when he heard this, and Yelu Hongji asked, "King Xiao, do you mean not to help?" ”
"It should help, but it's not good! Shengshang, do you know who the Song army led the troops this time? Seeing Yelu Hongji looking at himself hesitantly, Xiao Ying said with a smile: "It's the king!" ”
As soon as these words came out of the tent, some people discussed: "It's over, it's over, it's over." ”
Yelu Hongji looked at Xiao Ying even more suspiciously: "King Xiao, even if the king sends troops, why should we still help Western Xia?" ”
Xiao Ying replied: "Shengshang, what King Renxian said is right, the Western Xia pays tribute to my Liao every year, and Li Liangzuo's soldiers are defeated and killed, so you can't watch the Song Dynasty occupy the Western Xia, you think, the king has stabilized the southwest for the Great Song Dynasty, Song Jun has made him the king of Zhennan, and Dali and Tubo are all vassals to the Song Dynasty, if the Song army occupies the northwest again, there is no Western Xia, a small state that is always disturbing the Song Dynasty, then Song Jun can still abide by the Tanyuan Alliance?" ”
