PS: Recommendation, collection, a little support, more motivation, you know.

*****************

In the Shouning Hall of Emperor Liao, Yelu Hongji, Yelu Yanxi, King of Yan, Yelu and Lu Hu, King of Song, Yelu and Lu Hu, the privy envoy of the Northern Court, Xiao Temo, the new privy envoy of the Southern Court, Lu Sili, the governor of the political affairs, and Yelu Yan, the privy counselor, were all sitting.

The conditions for peace talks in the Great Song Dynasty have been clearly written in the national letter, and the next thing is to see how the Liao State responds.

In the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of Liao, the credibility of this information is very high, because this is in line with Zhao Xu's pro-government and Zhang Dan's consistent national policy of being tough on the outside world after he became a prime minister, and Xiao Dalin tried his best to exaggerate the current combat strength of the Song army in order to reduce the crime, and the terrible 'thunderbolt melon', which made Yelu Hongji hesitate on the issue of war and peace.

Among the main battle factions, Xiao Temo was the leader, he was the new official who took office three times, and insisted on fighting with Song Guo to the end.

The reason is that the Liao State is now too busy to take care of itself, and in recent years, the rebellions of various tribes on the grassland have become more and more frequent. The northwest road recruited Yelu Tart and died in battle;

The coalition forces of a few tribes such as Uguza, Daridi, and Basimu have all attacked to the collapse of the ridge, less than two hundred miles away from the capital, and the rebellion has not yet been quelled!

Not only that, but the departments of Paiya, Fuli, Tongge, Tiger Bone, and Puguo also rebelled one after another, and only a few days ago the Minister of Obstruction plundered the West Road Herdsmen, and it is not an exaggeration to describe the grassland as being surrounded by beacon smoke.

At the same time, now the Liao country is so poor that it is almost like pants, all kinds of disasters and famines continue, and even the capital has to be relieved every year, and now it is going to a full-scale war with the Great Song Dynasty, where is the money?

For Liao, this is destined to be a difficult decision! The Great Song Dynasty has decided to fight at any cost, what about the Liao State? Although this highest-level discussion did not reach a clear resolution, the voice of the Lord and the majority of the voices made Xiao Temo, who was the main battle, feel very depressed, and as soon as he walked out of the palace, he saw the Xia envoy Liang Dingshan greet him, and respectfully bowed: "Foreign officials meet the king of the Southern Courtyard!" ”

"Get up, what are you looking for this king?" Xiao Temo was in a panic in his heart, ignoring Liang Dingshan, and continued to walk forward after speaking.

"No, it's okay, the foreign official has a good hangover here, no matter how much you drink, it won't hurt your body, and you deliberately use it to dedicate it to the princess of Yueguo, and the foreign official is not good at taking the liberty of asking to see the princess, so I want to ask the king to do it for you."

"The princess has always been restrained in drinking, you don't need to bother, your country's courtship, this king can't help you, so be it!"

Xiao Temo thought that Liang Dingshan came to offer him a request for courtesy, but Liang Dingshan replied with a surprised face: "No, the foreign official came to Lotus Silk Lake with the princess's car, and saw that the princess invited Song envoy Yang Yi to the car to drink every day, and he was drunk a few times, so he remembered to dedicate this good recipe to the princess......"

Xiao Temo listened to Liang Dingshan's words, and his already gloomy face suddenly became icy, so frightened that Liang Dingshan didn't dare to say any more, perhaps, he didn't need to say anything further.

Xiao Temo glanced at him coldly, and brushed his sleeves away;

Liang Dingshan stood in place and secretly sighed, and then showed a weird smile, Yang Yi, this time you are good-looking.

That night, Yelu Hongji set up a banquet in the palace to entertain the envoys of Song Xia, when Yang Yi arrived, the civil and military ministers of the Liao State, the royal relatives and nobles had sat together, there was a large bonfire outside, there was laughter and laughter everywhere, and the whole sheep was roasted to yellow and clear, and the fragrance was overflowing.

Everyone has a case, the waiters cut the barbecue, send it to everyone's plate, wine and food, His Royal Highness the beauty danced the Khitan dance, graceful and colorful, bursts of silk and bamboo, a good scene of singing and dancing.

Yelu Hongji sat on the head, and on the left hand side was the grandson Yelu Yanxi, who was about twenty years old and was said to be the father of two children; On the right hand are Yelu and Lu Wei, who are the second sons of Xingzong and are now the kings of Song. Below is the civil and military forces of the Liao Kingdom, which looks like Qi Qi Duoshi.

Yang Yi couldn't help but think, even if other countries captured the capital, it would not be of much use, because the central leaders of the Liao State were all in the bowl, and what you got was just a nominal capital.

Soon after the banquet began, the monarchs and ministers in the palace mostly talked about some poetry and songs, and the upper class of the Liao State was greatly influenced by the culture of the Central Plains, like the Liao lord Yelu Hongji himself was proficient in music and rhythm, good at calligraphy and painting, and loved poetry, and his subordinates had "poetry friends" friends, and often gave poems to relatives.

If you are good at the top, you will follow it at the bottom!

The ministers of the Liao State have worked no less on poetry and painting than the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, Yang Yi looked at the scene of quoting scriptures and classics in the palace, and the scene of high and indifferent arguments, if it weren't for them wearing Khitan costumes, Yang Yi really suspected that he was going to the Qionglin banquet of the Great Song Dynasty?

Yang Yi became the focus of their advice from the beginning, and Liang Dingshan, the Xia envoy, had limited learning, and was soon marginalized, and he looked dryly at everyone turning to Yang Yi, his face was stunned.

This kind of consultation has the meaning of a test, which is related to the reputation of the two countries, Yang Yi did not dare to be careless, and answered as much as he could.

Among the Liao ministers, Yelu Yan is the most active, he is the champion of the background, the talent is very outstanding, the Liao side will be headed by him for a while, to Yang Yi incessantly attacked, this kind of scene is compared to the knowledge of both sides, knowledge, wit and sensitivity. If you can't answer the other party's question, then you will 'win glory for the country'.

After a long time of comparing between the two sides, Yelu Yan turned to ask: "Master Yang, Mencius praised Confucius: 'Jiang Han is wet, the autumn sun is exposed, and Hao Hao is not a good choice. 'The summer sun is hotter than the light of the autumn sun, why doesn't Mencius praise the summer sun?' ”

Yang Yi replied: "Too rigid and easy to break, the way of Confucianism is modest and inclusive, Xia Yang is too strong, and Qiu Yang is both warm and modest, which is in line with the way of Confucianism, Mencius praises Confucius with Qiu Yang, and it is what it deserves!" ”

Yelu Yan smiled and said: "When I went to the Great Song Dynasty, I asked Su Dongpo Su for advice, and Su replied: Today, the summer calendar is used, and the book "Mencius" uses the Zhou calendar, so Mencius's so-called autumn sun actually refers to the scorching sun in May and June in the summer calendar. Mr. Yang and Mr. Su are both talents of the moment, but they have completely different answers to the same question, so Mr. Yang doesn't know how to explain this? ”

As soon as Yelu Yan's words fell, the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State who were sitting suddenly were in an uproar, and many people began to snicker.

Yang Yi ignored everyone's ridicule and replied indifferently: "This is the breadth and profundity of Confucianism, the same question, can have multiple interpretations, the same thing, also has its multifacetedness, my answer and Master Su's are like two streams, it seems to be one south and one north, but as long as it works, it will eventually tend to be the same, and converge in the sea; This is also why the monarch must study Confucianism, if the monarch does not know how to be eclectic and listen to different voices, the country will be in trouble! I wonder if you think so? ”

That's right! Yang Yi and Su Dongpo's original intention to defend Confucius and Mencius is the same, and although the statements of the two are opposite, they both make sense, from this point of view, Yang Yi and Su Shi's goals have been achieved, and from the perspective of Confucianism, Yang Yi's answer is closer to the essence of Confucianism.

Now no one dared to snicker anymore, Yelu Yan stood up and said, "The cultural relics of the Southern Dynasty are really wonderful, thank you for the guidance of Master Yang, this official has been taught!" ”

Yang Yigang got up and said humbly, and Xiao Temo, who was sitting opposite, said in a loud voice: "The Song envoy's eloquence is indeed good, but I don't know what good things to dedicate to Your Majesty?" ”

Xiao Temo bites the word 'dedication' very hard, which is deliberately restricting the content of Yang Yi's poems, since it is dedicated to Yelu Hongji, you can't help but write it without the margins, just like the poems that should be made during the imperial examination, because of the restrictions of the subject matter, it is rare to see masterpieces in ancient and modern times.

Yelu Hongji stopped his cup and looked at it, and then said: "Bachelor Yang is famous all over the world, so he should not hesitate to give a poem, right?" Come on, pen and ink waiting! ”

Everyone's eyes were all focused on Yang Yi again, Yeluhong Fund had already opened, and Yang Yi couldn't say anything if he shirked it, which was tantamount to admitting what Xiao Temo said, Yang Yi would only play lip service, and he had no real talent!

The palace maid in the palace had already polished the ink, and the white rice paper had been spread, Yang Yi had to get up, walked to the hall and said to Yelu Hongji first: "The foreign minister is ugly!" ”

After he finished speaking, he picked up the pen and paper, and everyone in the hall stopped, quietly, and in the midst of everyone's attention, they saw Yang Yi write on the white paper:

Yesterday, I was happy to get ** Fu, cut Jin Ying carefully, and made a sentimental sentence.

Yang Yi wrote a sentence, and the palace maid next to him read a sentence, and when the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State heard the words and sentences read by the palace maid, they were in an uproar, for no other reason, Yang Yi was clearly plagiarizing Yelu Hongji's poems, Yelu Hongji once had a poem "Title Li Yan ** Fu": Yesterday Deqing ** Fu, cut Jin Ying to fill in the sentence. There is still a lingering fragrance in the sleeves, and the cold west wind can't blow.

Yang Yi plagiarized his verses in front of Yelu Hongji, is there anything more shameless than this? Yang Yi ignored the clamor of the crowd and continued to write:

The cold west wind can't blow, and there is still a lingering fragrance in the sleeves.

At this point, Xiao Temo and the others couldn't sit still anymore, and began to mock loudly, there was no one in the Southern Dynasty, but Yelu Hongji saw that the door was coming, although Yang Yi used his verses, but such a split, it was half "Butterfly Love Flower", the overall meaning of the poem remained the same, but if you think about it, you have to admire him for his clever dismantling, Yelu Hongji stopped Xiao Temo and others, and waited for Yang Yi to follow.

At this time, Yang Yi had already written out the next que:

The dust of the sea is born in the autumn twilight, the jade masonry is carved, and the leaves are singing and the rain is sparse.

Mr. Jiang worked hard, and Suqin still wrote a Youlan score.

The lower que is read out by the palace maid, all the people in the palace are talking about it, this lower que fully undertakes the rhyme of the upper que, without any jerky feeling, between the sprinkling, and the upper que constitutes an excellent "butterfly love flower", chrysanthemum autumn rain, Suqin sunset, all of a sudden the original poem of Yelu Hongji pushed to a higher level, which is endlessly evocative.

Others listened to it, at most they just admired it in their hearts, but Yelu Hongji couldn't help but stand up, Yang Yi used his poems as a blueprint to create, which is equivalent to scratching his most itchy place, this kind of compliment, the realm is as high as dew over the lotus leaf, without a trace, so that Yelu Hongji is extremely comfortable!

He praised repeatedly: "Good! Good! Good! Sure enough, he is worthy of the talent of the champion, and in view of the talent of Bachelor Yang, the Southern Dynasty asked for an annual reduction of 100,000 yuan, and the rest was changed to a gift, and I will allow it today! Come, for this masterpiece, drink three cups with Zhongqing! ”

Yelu Hongjilang couldn't stop laughing, but the Liao ministers in the palace were stunned for a moment when they heard his words, and 100,000 guan was reduced like this? No way? Don't even pay back the price?

Yang Yi was also a little stunned, and quickly bowed down and replied: "Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor of Daliao, it is not that the foreign ministers are talented, but really Your Majesty's poems have excellent artistic conception, giving people good flowers, and there is a lingering fragrance on the sleeves, Your Majesty's feelings are noble, and the foreign ministers are not as good as just in case!" ”

"Hahaha! Bachelor Yang doesn't have to be humble! Your song "Butterfly Loves Flowers" can be said to have won my heart! Yelu Hongji was extremely happy, as if he had found a soulmate, and gave Yang Yi a lot of treasures.

It is not good not to accept Yang Yi when he gives it, but he is secretly vigilant in his heart, it seems that he must report it truthfully to the upper line immediately when he goes back, otherwise these things will become dove poison and poison himself to death.

And Yang Yi quickly figured it out, it was not Yelu Hongji who was confused and treated state affairs as a child's play, he agreed to reduce the 100,000 yuan of the Great Song Dynasty in the form of a reward at the dinner, and the rest was also changed to a gift; This is simply the next step that Liao Guo found for himself.

If you fight with the Great Song Dynasty in formal negotiations, and finally have to agree to reduce the New Year's coin, no matter how much the reduction is, the Liao State will lose face; It is better to say it in this form, just like a reward made by Yelu Hongji out of his love for Yang Yi's poetry.

In this way, the face of the Liao State was not only saved, but also showed that the Liao State was very atmospheric, and he didn't look at the 100,000-year-old coin at all.
