Chapter 899: You're Threatening Me
Yelu Jun thought that he had directly rejected the proposal of the Great Song Dynasty to form an alliance, and the matter would be over, but he didn't expect that at the last moment, Zhang Dian actually took out a letter from an old man, there are not many people who can be called an old man on the side of the Great Song Dynasty, except for Zhao Ji, who has died, only Zhao Yan and his sister Yelu Si are left, could it be written by one of their couple?
Thinking of this, Yelu Jun asked people to present the letter, but they saw five big characters written on the envelope "Brother Yelu personally opened", and there were a few small words in the lower left corner, which read "Brother: Zhao Yan". No need to ask, this must be a letter written by Zhao Yan to him, and it is also a personal letter, otherwise he would not use a personal title like 'brother, brother'.
Looking at the letter from Zhao Yan in his hand, Yelu Jun showed a very complicated look on his face, when he met Zhao Yan for the first time, he just felt that the other party was erudite and talented, but his temperament was a little simple, and he had no scheming at all, but later it was this Zhao Yan, but together with his eldest brother Zhao Ji, he turned the entire Liao Kingdom upside down, and was almost seized the throne by Yelu Chongyuan.
Later, he finally stabilized the domestic situation, but the Great Song Dynasty destroyed the Western Xia with a thunderous momentum, the main reason was the use of gunpowder weapons invented by Zhao Yan, and later the Great Song Dynasty became more and more prosperous, which also has an inseparable relationship with Zhao Yan, and later in the battle of Yanyun, Zhao Yan personally led the troops to Zhongjing City, forcing him to sign the Luanhe Alliance with the other party, that was the second time he saw Zhao Yan, compared to many years ago, Zhao Yan at that time has become very mature, and it is Zhao Yan who is there, so that Zhao Ji's mistakes were made up, even when Zhao Ji was seriously ill, the situation in the Great Song Dynasty was extremely stable.
Thinking of the above, Yelujun suddenly felt very envious of Zhao Ji. Why don't you have such a brother who helps him wholeheartedly and is extremely talented? However, speaking of Zhao Yan, he is also his brother-in-law, and it would be nice if he could find a way to keep him in Liaoguo, but unfortunately this is simply impossible.
Looking at the envelope in his hand for a long time, Yelujun suddenly sighed with some emotion, and then tore open the envelope and opened the letter inside. The letters inside were very thick, there were nearly ten of them, and when he saw the first page, Yelujun was stunned, because he was very familiar with the handwriting on the letterhead, which was the handwriting of his sister Yelusi.
Although Yelujun and Yelusi are half-siblings, the relationship between the two is not bad, and when Yelusi disappeared, he was really sad and sad for a long time. Later, I learned that he was abducted to the Great Song Dynasty by Zhao Yan, and I was annoyed and worried in my heart, for fear that my sister would be wronged in the Great Song Dynasty, and because of their special status, it was inconvenient for them to contact each other again, and only the last time he signed the Luanhe Alliance with Zhao Yan, he received a letter from Yelusi, but he didn't expect so many years to pass. Finally received a second one.
At that moment, Yelujun looked seriously at the letter written by his sister to himself, and Yelusi first introduced the situation of himself and several children. All in all, it's all good, and then he talked about some trivial things in his life and his children's lives, although Yelusi didn't say it explicitly, but Yelujun could feel that she was living a very happy life from her sister's words, which also made him finally relieved.
I finally finished reading Jerryth's letter, but in the end there was still a piece of paper. And when he saw the handwriting on the letter, Yelujun frowned, because he also recognized Zhao Yan's handwriting, speaking of which Zhao Yan is famous for his erudition and talent, but he can write ugly characters with one hand. When he signed the Luanhe Alliance, he was deeply impressed by Zhao Yan's words, and now that so many years have passed, although Zhao Yan's words have improved somewhat, they are still very ugly.
Although Zhao Yan's words are ugly, the letter is written neatly, and there is not much content on the letter, but when Yelujun finished reading the content of Zhao Yan's letter, he suddenly slapped the letter on the table with a "bah~", and his face was full of annoyance.
Zhao Yan's letter is very simple, and there is no politeness, he directly cuts to the topic and writes: Brother Yelu, if you see this letter, you must have made up your mind to reject my alliance with the Great Song Dynasty, I can only express great regret for this result, but whether you believe it or not, I will eliminate the Wanyan Department no matter what, and I am also very clear about the strength of your Liao State, I am afraid that the entire northern part of the Liao State is now under the threat of the Wanyan Ministry, since you do not have the strength to block the rising Wanyan Ministry, Then I can only take the last step, as long as the Wanyan Department captures the Huanglong Mansion of the Liao State again, then my army of the Great Song Dynasty will also move north, and the North and South of the Wanyan Department will attack the Liao State, and then Brother Yelu must not blame me for not remembering the old feelings of the year!
Although Zhao Yan's letter was written very politely, there were threats almost everywhere between the lines, especially the sentence "and Wanyan attacked the Liao State from the north and south", which made Yelujun feel extremely frightened while being annoyed, he knew Zhao Yan's influence in the Great Song Dynasty, and also knew that the other party was fully capable of doing it, just a Jurchen person was enough to make the Liao State anxious, if the Great Song Dynasty attacked again at this time, I am afraid that their Liao State would really face the danger of losing the country.
Seeing Yelujun's angry look, Zhang Dian was not surprised, in fact, he had already read Zhao Yan's letter, if the Liao State agreed to form an alliance, then only the letter of the princess of the Liao State was sent to Yelujun, but he had already felt that the Liao State was afraid that it would refuse, so he added Zhao Yan's letter in advance, although it was only a thin piece of paper, but the content of the letter was enough to anger Yelujun, if there was no extraordinary courage, I am afraid that he would not dare to hand over this letter to Yelujun.
"Your Majesty, you should have read His Royal Highness King Yue's letter, I don't know how you feel?" At this time, I saw Zhang Duan suddenly bow down and salute, his words can be described as very bold, after all, now anyone can see that Yelujun is angry, even if he is an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, but in case Yelujun is really annoyed and angry, maybe he will really do something to kill the envoy.
"You! Are you threatening me? Ye Lujun squinted his eyes at Zhang Dian at this time and said word by word, since he ascended the throne, except for the last time when the Luanhe Alliance suffered a little loss from Zhao Yan, no one has ever dared to persecute him like this the rest of the time.
Facing Yelujun's murderous gaze, coupled with his emperor's might, ordinary people are afraid that they will not dare to speak in fright, but Zhang Dian is very courageous, not only did not flinch in the slightest, but also raised his head and looked at Yelujun very calmly.
looked at the indifferent Zhang Dian in front of him. The expression on Yelujun's face also changed several times, and even the idea of killing Zhang Dian surged several times, but in the end, Yelu Jun's reason still prevailed over anger, the current Liao State is no longer the Liao State of decades ago, and the Great Song Dynasty is not the Great Song that allowed them to be bullied by the Great Liao, if he really dared to kill Zhang Dian. I'm afraid that the endless war of the Great Song Dynasty will soon be ushered in, and then they will really die in the Great Liao.
Thinking of the above, Ye Lujun had to suppress the anger in his chest, but his eyes were still staring at Zhang Duan viciously, and after a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "This matter is very important, I need time to think about it again!" ”
"In this case, then Your Majesty will retire, and after Your Majesty has made the right choice, Your Majesty will come to see Your Majesty!" Zhang Dian said with a deep bow at the moment. Although he is courageous, he also knows the truth of accepting when he sees a good thing, and he knows that he has enough stimulation for Yelujun today, so he will also accept it when he sees it, otherwise he will really stimulate the other party to lose his mind, and he will still suffer the loss.
After Zhang Dian left, Yelu Yixin, who was already full of doubts next to him, immediately turned around and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what kind of letter this Great Song envoy gave you. How can you be so angry, Your Majesty? ”
For Yelu Yixin, Yelu Jun trusts him almost unconditionally. Therefore, I saw him hand him the seal in his hand and said: "King Wei, take a look, the Great Song Dynasty is really becoming more and more arrogant, and he dares to threaten me so nakedly!" ”
Yelu Yixin also took the letter very curiously at this time, and then read it carefully, but when he read the letter full of threats, he showed a contemplative expression. After a long while, he slowly spoke: "What a powerful Zhao Yan, he is forcing us to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty!" ”
"King Wei, I'm sure you've read it too, don't patronize and sigh, think about if there is any countermeasure!" Yelu Jun heard Yelu Yixin's words praising Zhao Yan. But he couldn't help but say a little irritably, he still had a good impression of Zhao Yan when he saw his sister's letter just now, but he didn't expect him to come to himself such a show right after, which made him want to tear Zhao Yan apart and eat it in his stomach.
"This ......" Hearing Yelu Jun ask him to think of countermeasures, Yelu Yixin showed an embarrassed expression, and after a long while, he smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, Zhao Yan is using a dignified and upright Yang strategy, either we will form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty and clean up the Yan Department according to their requirements, or we will not ally with the Great Song Dynasty, but we still have to contain the Jurchens, at least we can't let them occupy the Huanglong Mansion, otherwise the Great Song Dynasty will move north, and we will fight on two fronts in the Great Liao, I'm afraid it won't take long to really lose the country." ”
"I don't know that Zhao Yan is using a yang scheme, but even if it is a yang scheme, there should be a way to crack it!" Hearing Yelu Yixin's words, he saw Yelu Jun's eyes glaring angrily.
"Your Majesty is angry, the old minister is stupid, and he really can't think of a way to crack it." Yelu Yixin saw Yelu Jun angry, and bowed down with some trepidation at the moment, since he gained power in the past few years, it was the first time that he was trained like this by Yelu Jun, which made him feel a little resentful of Zhao Yan who was far away in the Great Song Dynasty.
"Humph!" Seeing that even Yelu Yixin, who he relied on the most, was helpless, Yelu Jun couldn't help but be even more annoyed, and left the hall with a flick of his sleeves, leaving only Yelu Yixin with a wry smile, and after a while, he also shook his head and left alone.
In the next period of time, Yelu Jun did not summon Zhang Dian again, and Zhang Dian was not in a hurry about this, he went to play with the prince Yelu Yanxi every day, Yelu Yanxi did not have his father's scheming, although Yelu Jun warned him several times not to get too close to Zhang Tun, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, how to play with Zhang Dian or how to play.
However, Zhang Dian approached Yelu Yanxi not only to accompany him, but also wanted to collect more information through Yelu Yanxi, don't look at Yelu Yanxi as an unsuccessful person, but after all, he is the crown prince of Liao, and a group of nobles are gathered around him to follow, so Zhang Dian inquired about some news through Yelu Yanxi and the people around him.
For example, Zhang Dian inquired that with the rise of Wanyan again, it also caused great trouble to the Liao State, just half a year ago, Aguda suddenly led the Jurchens to raid Changchun Prefecture in the northwest of Huanglong Mansion, this Changchun is not the Changchun of later generations, the two are geographically far apart, Changchun Prefecture is the most remote state in the northwest of Huanglong Prefecture, the ethnic groups in the state are mixed, and the rule of the Liao State there is very weak.
It may be precisely because of the above reasons that Aguta chose Changchun Prefecture as his target, and led five thousand Jurchens to raid, Changchun Prefecture fell almost without much resistance, but this time Aguta did not carry out another massacre, but began to change his strategy, forcing the people of all ethnic groups in Changchun Prefecture to join the Wanyan Ministry, among which the young and strong men were even incorporated into the servant army, which greatly increased the strength of the Wanyan Ministry, and the strength expanded very quickly, increasing to tens of thousands in a short period of time.
It just so happened that Yelu Yixin had been looking at Xiao Yanshou unpleasantly, and Xiao Yanshou had also relied on his military exploits in the court to never buy Yelu Yixin's face, so taking advantage of this opportunity, Yelu Yixin sent Xiao Yanshou to Huanglong Mansion to prevent Wanyan from attacking Huanglong Mansion for the third time.
Speaking of since the death of Yeluren first, there has been no handsome talent in the Liao State, but this Xiao Yanshou is still quite a bit of a general, since he sat in the Huanglong Mansion, he has repelled the attack of the Yan Department several times, but unfortunately because Yelu Yixin has been dragging him back in the court, so Xiao Yanshou has almost reached the end of the strong crossbow, I am afraid that when the Jurchens attack the Huanglong Mansion next time, it will be the day when he will be loyal to the Liao State.
Knowing Xiao Yanshou's affairs, Zhang Dian couldn't help but secretly scold Yelu Yixin in his heart for not being successful enough to be more than defeated, if Xiao Yanshou was really defeated and died, the Huanglong Mansion once again fell into the hands of the Jurchens, and after learning the lessons of the previous times, Ah Guda had begun to absorb other forces to strengthen himself, and then he would expand outward based on the Huanglong Mansion, I am afraid that in a few years, the already decaying Liao State would fall under the blade of the Jurchens.
Thinking of the above, Zhang Dian couldn't help but be a little anxious, worried that if he delayed like this, what would happen to the Huanglong Mansion, and it would be even more difficult to curb the rise of the Jurchens, but Yelujun was reluctant to summon him at this time, and Zhang Dian was helpless.
