Regarding the Great Song Dynasty's proposal to form an alliance with the Liao State and jointly deal with the Jurchens, Yelujun did not give an immediate reply, but only arranged for Zhang Dian and other envoys to rest at the post station, and he needed to think about it for a while before making a decision. Zhang Dian could also understand this, so after sending some of the state gifts he brought, he went down to rest with the officials of the Liao State.

After Zhang Dian left, Yelu Jun sat on the dragon chair and thought for a moment, then turned to Yelu Yixin next to him and asked, "King Wei, do you think this alliance proposed by the Song State is credible?" ”

"This ......" Yelu Yixin also had a look of bitterness on his face at this time, and hesitated for a moment before replying, "Your Majesty, the old minister is also a little uncertain, according to common sense, the Great Song should be happy about the rise of the Jurchens, after all, our Great Liao is their most powerful enemy, and now we have one more enemy, which is equivalent to one more helper of the Great Song Dynasty, how can they join forces with us to destroy this helper?" ”

"Yes, I think so too, no matter what way you look at it, the Great Song should not regard the Jurchens as a threat, but what is their intention in suddenly proposing an alliance to eliminate the Jurchens?" Yelujun frowned at this time and spoke again.

"I can't understand this, unless I ......" When he said this, Yelu Yixin suddenly thought of a possibility, taking power and taking power, he is actually a very capable person, otherwise it is impossible to sit in the current position, but he quickly shook his head and said, "This idea is too ridiculous, it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to have such ability!" ”

"What is impossible, King Wei, did you think of something?" Seeing Yelu Yixin's appearance, Yelu Jun couldn't help but ask, for the affairs of the court and politics, he has relied too much on Yelu Yixin over the years, and sometimes he doesn't even bother to move his brain.

Hear Yelujun's inquiry. Yelu Yixin hesitated for a moment before he said: "Your Majesty, the old minister just thought that if the Great Song Dynasty really wanted to unite with us to destroy the Jurchens, there was only one possibility, that is, they believed that the Jurchens would destroy our Da Liao in a short period of time, and then replace us to become the biggest threat to the Great Song Dynasty." But this matter is nonsense at all, with the strength of my Da Liao, not to mention the weak Jurchens now, even the Great Song Dynasty needs to pay a great price if he wants to defeat us. ”

When Yelu Jun heard that the Jurchens had destroyed their own Da Liao, his brows were also furrowed, and he was vaguely uncomfortable in his heart, but when he heard Yelu Yixin's words, he immediately nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, this idea is indeed a bit whimsical. Although the Jurchens pose some threats to our north, they are just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and there is nothing to worry about at all, but the Great Song Dynasty took the initiative to come to the alliance with us this time, but it seems that there are some ulterior motives. ”

"Your Majesty means ......" Yelu Yixin had already pondered Yelujun's temperament thoroughly, and immediately heard that Yelujun's words seemed to mean something else.

"It is impossible for the Jurchens to pose any threat to the Great Song Dynasty, but it is still a big trouble on the frontier of my Great Liao, although Zhao Yan may have some personal grudges with the Wanyan Department. But with his character, he should not abolish the public for personal reasons. So I don't think this is a trap of the Great Song Dynasty, ostensibly to unite us to destroy the Jurchens, but in fact they have secretly colluded with the Jurchens, ready to lure us into sending troops to attack the Jurchens, and then the Great Song Dynasty suddenly killed from behind, making it difficult for us to take care of the end. At that time, it may be a disaster for the country! I saw Yelujun say with a solemn expression at this time.

"This ...... It's very likely! Yelu Yixin was stunned when he heard Yelu Jun's speculation, and then he was shocked, although they have no evidence at all, but in this kind of thing, sometimes just one guess is enough.

"If that's the case. I definitely can't agree to the Great Song Dynasty, but I can refuse it immediately, otherwise I may anger the Great Song Dynasty, in case they really collude with the Jurchens and attack my Great Liao from the north and south, this will be really troublesome. Yelujun's eyes flashed with a glint at this time, perhaps because of the crisis of the country, his mind became extremely clear, and it seemed that he had become the wise and decisive Yelujun many years ago.

"What Your Majesty said is extremely true, and the old minister also thinks that the Great Song Dynasty delegation should be temporarily left to dry, so that whether it is refusal or consent in the future, there will be more time to consider." Yelu Yixin also hurriedly agreed at this time, but at this time he was also secretly happy in his heart, because he knew that as long as this matter was delayed, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty would definitely find a way to visit him, and no matter whether the matter was successful or not, a rich salute would definitely be indispensable, after all, he was the first person under Yelu Jun, and if he wanted to do things in Liao, he would definitely not be able to bypass him.

In fact, Yelu Yixin guessed well, Zhang Dian is also a human spirit, and on the second day after entering the palace to visit Yelu Jun, he immediately went to visit Yelu Yixin's house with gifts, and the gifts he gave were even more generous than those sent to the palace before, because he knew that Yelu Jun usually didn't pay much attention to the government and politics, and all the major affairs of the court and government were handed over to Yelu Yixin to deal with, and Yelu Yixin was an extremely greedy person, if he didn't feed him, things would definitely not be done.

For Zhang Dan's visit, Yelu Yixin also showed very enthusiasm, although he knew that the alliance was definitely impossible, but it did not prevent him from receiving gifts, after all, Zhang Dian did not expect these gifts to be able to do things at once, so Yelu Yixin also did not accept nothing, not to mention that Zhang Yi Xin was very generous, just the four-foot-high red coral gave out eight pairs of sixteen at once, in addition to pearls, gems, gold and silver jewelry, etc., each of which is priceless, even if it is Yelu Yixin's rich rival country, Seeing these gifts, I can't help but feel an eye-opener, and at the same time, I feel extremely envious of the richness of the Great Song Dynasty.

Yelu Yixin must accept these gifts, but he only said that he would try his best to help about the alliance, as for whether it will be successful or not, it depends on Yelu Jun's attitude, what he said is also the truth, and Zhang Dian can't say anything about this, and later Yelu Yixin also set up a banquet in the house to entertain Zhang Dian and others, and drank until midnight before letting people send them back to rest.

In the next few days, Zhang Dian and the others have been waiting for the results of the alliance between the Liao State, but there is no news from Yelujun's side, and Zhang Dian is not in a hurry about this, because he knows that the Liao State will definitely have doubts about the alliance, and it is normal for him to not be able to make a decision in a short time.

It is precisely because of this that during this time, Zhang Dian began to deliberately visit around the capital, as long as he was an important minister of Liao, he almost walked through, and even visited Yelu Yanxi, the prince of Liao, through Xiao Wuna, when he entered the city before, Yelu Yanxi personally welcomed him into the city, so the two can be regarded as having a relationship.

Yelu Yanxi is just fifteen years old this year, and he is at the age when he likes to play the most, his mother is Yelu Jun's queen Xiao, so he is naturally the undisputed candidate for the crown prince, but Yelu Yanxi does not like to read, but likes to hunt and play very much.

However, although Zhang Dian is not in a hurry to wait for the results of the alliance, Yelu Jun is a little anxious, as the crown prince, Yelu Yanxi originally likes to mess around, and he doesn't look like a prince at all, but now he is taken by Zhang Dian every day to play and play, Yelu Yanxi also learned a lot of new tricks from the Great Song Dynasty with Zhang Tun, and as a result, the whole capital is even more unpeaceful, and even officials in the court are too nonsense to play the prince, which makes the people in the capital complain.

Seeing this situation, Yelujun didn't want to let Zhang Dian harm his son like this, but he couldn't prohibit Zhang Dian from associating with his son, so he had no choice but to summon Zhang Dian in advance, hoping that the alliance could be completed as soon as possible, and then let Zhang Dian leave Liao as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty!" As soon as Zhang Dian entered the main hall, he immediately saluted Yelu Jun, and as soon as he did last time, in addition to Yelu Jun in the main hall, Yelu Yixin was also here.

"Flat!" Yelu Jun glanced at Zhang Dian lightly and said, he was already sure that Zhang Dian must have deliberately approached his son, and then lured him to mess around, in order to force himself to make a decision as soon as possible.

Regarding Yelu Jun's indifferent attitude, Zhang Dian looked as usual, and immediately asked: "Your Majesty, I don't know what you think about the alliance proposed by our Great Song Dynasty to deal with the Jurchens, if there is no objection, Your Majesty can discuss the details of the alliance with your country on behalf of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

However, as soon as Zhang Dan's words fell, I saw Yelu Yixin, who was standing in the main hall, taking the lead in speaking: "Envoy Zhang, for the kindness of the Great Song Dynasty, my Da Liao is also very grateful, but it is just a complete face, and it can't become any climate at all, and my Da Liao is fully capable of destroying it by himself, and there is no need for others to interfere at all, so for the alliance, we Da Liao feel that there is no need!" ”

Hearing Yelu Yixin's words, Zhang Dian glanced up at the other party, only to see that Yelu Yixin made a helpless expression to him, and then Zhang Dian couldn't help but look up at Yelu Jun on the dragon chair and said again: "Your Majesty, is this the final reply of the Liao State?" ”

"Yes, I have millions of soldiers in Daliao, a small tribe of more than 10,000 people, and I can decide its life and death with a word, so I can only understand the kindness of the Great Song Dynasty!" Ye Lujun deliberately made a relaxed expression at this time, as if Wanyan was really vulnerable in his eyes.

Zhang Dian couldn't help but sigh secretly when he heard Yelujun's words, in fact, he had some bad premonitions before, and now it seems that the other party really didn't agree, and it seems that he can only use the last move to fight. Thinking of this, I saw that Zhang Dian suddenly took out a letter from his sleeve and said: "Your Majesty, don't be in a hurry to make a decision, I have a letter from the deceased here to present to Your Majesty!" (To be continued.) )

PS: Lao Yu is going to Shanghai tomorrow to participate in the Forbes Awards ceremony at the starting point, of course, to do the background, the award must not be anything to do, but it also needs to go for three days, so the update of the next three days will definitely be very unstable, and the number of words cannot be guaranteed, Lao Yu tries to keep it updated as much as possible, and if he can not ask for leave, he will not ask for leave, I hope Da Song can understand.
