Chapter 60: Eight thousand miles to Yanyun
The words are divided into two ends, when the Zhao Guanjia is dealing with these things, thousands of miles away from the Tiger Siluduo (now belonging to Kyrgyzstan), although it is spring on the bank of the Broken Leaf River, it is difficult to hide the lonely smoke of the desert, Li Qiong, who came here for the first time, went out of the West Liao Palace, which has a strong style outside, but is no different from the style of the Liao Kingdom in the Central Plains, riding a horse and walking in front, looking at the scenery of the royal city that has never been before, it is inevitable that there is a bit of a literati atmosphere, and he is full of emotion.
Liang Jiaying, the envoy who came back from Hebei, didn't know what he was thinking, and only sighed: "This is a good place in the Western Regions, Yelu Dashi, oh no, now the lord of the Western Liao Kingdom is not bad." ”
Hearing this, Li Qiong laughed and said: "What Ambassador Liang said, if you want the lord of the Western Liao Kingdom to travel thousands of miles and establish this huge country with perseverance, and all the small countries in the Western Regions will surrender, how can you have a poor vision!" Otherwise, how could he be willing to buy these Jurchens from us in real gold? It's not because the land here is vast and sparsely populated, and most of them are Turkic people, and if you want to stabilize the foundation, you have to plant the Liao country. ”
That's right, he came to escort these fifteen thousand captives in exchange for money, but the capital of Western Liao continued to move westward, and he took a large group of men and horses, so he walked for several months, and arrived here after the New Year's Festival. Of course, Yelu Dashi was very happy about this, but he didn't open a gold mine, and it took half a month for all kinds of materials to be cleared of people and goods, and everyone was happy.
Liang Jiaying blushed, he bought the same Jinshi quota, not to mention facing Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun, even in the face of the educated handsome ministers, he was also a little lacking in confidence, so he hurriedly made up for it: "Yes, but the younger brother was sent as an envoy with Hu Jingluo (Hu Hongxiu), and then served as the governor of Huangzhou for many years, and he knows best that although the lord of the Western Liao Kingdom is a figure, he really admires our official family." Not only did they go to Lanzhou City to find Zhizhou when they set off to the west, and they asked for almost all the previous Di newspapers, but also specifically asked the officials they stayed in the Lanzhou market to copy the Di Bao and send it to the west. Moreover, whenever there is a business trip in the city of Tokyo, they will invite them to ask about the old affairs and new deeds of the officials, but they do not ask much about the embassies abroad on our side. ”
Li Qiong looked at the business residents dressed differently around, and there was no dispute, and said with emotion: "This is this person's scheming, fortunately, we are also going back, the official once said that he will definitely be able to see Yelu Dashi rampant in the Western Regions, and he can also see him...... The country gradually declined. In the past, the Han Dynasty took the Western Regions and the Xiongnu were destroyed, if there is really one day, it is not that the Western Regions can not be taken and the Northern Xinjiang and Dingqingtang, I just hope that you and I can live to that day. ”
Liang Jiaying was also dry by his arrogance for a while, and the two talked some gossip again, returned to the embassy, and heard another strange holy decree from Zhao Guan's family: go to Mogao Grottoes to copy the statue of Tuofei Tian, and buy some emeralds from the Western Regions for Princess Shouchun and Xu.
It was about the princess, although the two felt a little abrupt, but they did not dare to slack off, and asked to see Yelu Dashi again on the second day, expressing their request.
Yelu Dashi laughed when he heard this, and did not hide the pride of Yan Zhao Hanzi under the golden crown treasure belt, and said: "Such a trivial matter, it is also worth the ambassador and the king of the county to ask to see alone, since the two countries are brothers, the princess is also like my niece, how can there be nieces and uncles to give gifts and receive money, wait for you to negotiate directly with the southern official (the official of the Liao State to the Han people), not only the emerald and the statue of God and Buddha, I will send twenty pieces of Hetian jade ornaments, which will be counted as an addition, so that the little lady can play, remember Uncle Yelu's thoughts." ”
He was so polite and generous, of course, the two of them only had to thank them, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves and returned happily.
Just as they were leaving, there were people in this hall full of Liao style who were suddenly dissatisfied, but because of the prestige of Emperor Yelu Dashi who traveled thousands of miles to establish a country, they didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of him.
But Yelu Dashi is such a character, he didn't need to roll his eyelids, so he said in a familiar Hebei Han dialect: "Yelu Yanshan, what do you want to say, you don't have to hold back, which one of you here didn't come with me with a lot of hard work, why can't you say it clearly?" ”
Yelu Yanshan was also not polite, got up and saluted: "Your Majesty, it is said that it is okay for the two countries to agree to exchange my Khitan seed for money. But the oath made it clear back then, although we took his Song Kingdom as the upper country, it was also a brotherly alliance, not a slave, why did the daughter of his Zhao official family go to our country to ask for gifts, not to mention that this Mogao Grottoes was originally in the six states of Hexi, so it can't be said that this is a temptation? ”
Although Yelu Yanshan is also a Khitan Yelu tribe, he is not a descendant of Abaoji. Cha Chi Ra is a tribe on the Mongolian plateau, and Vullu is the official name. After the death of Liao, he led his tribe to go west with Yelu Dashi, but he never forgot that he was a native of Liao.
As soon as he opened his mouth, someone had the courage to say, "If the six states of Hexi are not in my hands, in this life and this life, I can't even look at my homeland!" ”
There is nothing special about this, but it makes many older people sad in their hearts, they are all born in Linhuang, and the nobles of the Liao Kingdom who grew up in Yanyun, although they are now established elsewhere, but the word hometown, can they really be forgotten?
is the so-called thousands of miles of yin mountains and thousands of miles of sand, who will fight the frost with green temples?
Yelu Dashi looked around at his subordinates, and felt that it was not uncomfortable, but as a conqueror of Central Asia recognized in the world after Genghis Khan, he still made the most rational judgment. But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly heard Xiao Weili, the king of the North Courtyard, say: "That's it, how can everyone here help him Zhao Guan's family?" Did you also send someone to infiltrate the Song Kingdom and assassinate you? ”
Everyone choked when they said this, and the Xuanhui envoy of the North Courtyard, and his subordinate Xiao Heda saw that everyone was unconvinced, and hurriedly said: "Everyone, I was a courtier of Princess Nanxian in the next place, and I have been in Western Xia for more than 20 years, so I have also dealt with the Song State for many years, isn't what the king said?" Now that the power of the Song Kingdom to destroy Jin still exists, everyone has seen the skills of Yue Fei, Wu Jue and Qu Duan, not to mention that there is also a Han Shizhong who is said to be unparalleled in the world. Not to mention that what we lack now is the population, which only the Song State can give us, not to mention anything else, as long as the Zhao Guan's family does not hand over people, we only have more than 100,000 Khitan people in the land of thousands of miles, can you rest assured? ”
Another person added: "We don't have tea here, we lack iron tools, and if the Lanzhou Yard is closed, it will be enough." ”
These are all truths, what do everyone think in their hearts, and their faces have to be quiet, at this time, Yelu Dashi can calmly say: "Okay, although I haven't met this Zhao Guanjia much, I also think that I know him a little, and now he is not stable in the country, and he can't take care of our six states in Hexi." If it's too much, the Khitan warriors are not muddy, and now they are just an adult female doll, is it worth the fuss about giving some gifts? With this spirit, it is better to think about how these fifteen thousand people will be distributed. ”
This is a big event, and everyone has a plan for selfishness, and they all talk about it, until the sun is past noon, and when they see that the emperor's face is tired, they take their leave.
After everyone went, Yelu Dashi also leaned on the seat tiredly, a woman of about thirty juanzi was wearing a brocade robe, wearing a traditional Khitan hanging bead, with coral earrings on her ears, but on her deerskin boots, the dress was too far apart, take a closer look, the characteristics of the Khitan, Han, Western Regions, and grasslands can be revealed, and it can be regarded as a great cultural integration.
After all, the Khitan has been in the north for a hundred years, and it has been founded in the Western Regions, so it is reasonable to say, not to mention, it looks good to dress up like this, showing the maturity and grace of a bearded girl.
Because he was too familiar, Yelu Dashi didn't bother to go around the bay, and said directly: "The tower is not smoking, what do you think?" ”
The person who came was his queen Xiao Ta Buyan, although she was not the original match of Yelu Dashi, but on the same day when Yelu Dashi began to call Khan, she became the queen, and gave birth to a pair of children, not to mention the tradition of the Liao Kingdom, the heroine was in power, and she had it when she said that she was the queen mother, so she could also talk about national affairs.
After many years of husband and wife, Xiao Ta Buyan naturally knew what her husband meant, and said thoughtfully: "The concubine thinks that Your Majesty is right, the official family of Zhao Song may have a heart for the six states of Hexi, but not now, so the concubine agrees with your opinion very much." It's just that this is not a long-term solution, and it will ...... in the future."
Yelu Dashi smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid that it will be more difficult in the future, the tower is not smoking, I am more than ten years older than the Zhao Song official family, if one day I am gone, the strength of the two countries is very different, I am afraid of going further." When the time comes, it will not be people who will pinch us, but even the neck will be stuck together. ”

Posthumous Lives of Song Dynasty Ministers (4)
"Phew, you should have tasted this a long time ago." After waiting for more than a month for the official family and nothing new, the staff of the prefecture suddenly showed them another projection of Yelu Dashi.
But whoever is here, who has not suffered from the idleness of those Khitan barbarians, seeing them so deflated, it is really as cool as drinking cold water in dog days, Fu Bi, who has never been very eye-catching, remembered that he was angry with Liao in those years, and the first one couldn't help but scold.
Not to be outdone, others condemned one after another, as if they had returned to the time when they were dominant. Lu Haoyi was proud in his heart, and he didn't care if he would be targeted, he stroked his beard and said: "I only hate that the old man was in the southeast back then, and he never participated in the Jinhe Alliance, and he saw the scene of the official family crowning this Khitan child, and asked them to recognize what the Chinese Son of Heaven was, hey, it's really a pity to think about it." ”
It's so hateful. Even Zong Ze said to stay away from me.
However, Cao used the hatred too deeply, and he didn't care about jealousy, and asked: "Then why didn't Lu Zhongsu suggest that the official family eliminate the evil, and help such thieves establish a country in the Western Regions, and the Han Dynasty and Wu would consolidate China through the Western Regions." ”
Uncle Zhang finally came out of the shadows and said: "The official family must have other plans, this Yelu child also knows that the official family is more than ten years younger than him, and we just need to take a good look at the future, otherwise the rebel son will act like this, and I would have no face to reincarnate here." ”
He really cried when he heard this, which made Wang Boyan persuade him, "Zhongwen Gong don't want to be like this, the old man even had high hopes for Qin Hui's criminal, who knew that he had forgotten his ancestors so far, and now he has the heart to poke himself in both eyes." ”
Although they don't pay attention to master and apprentice like father and son these days, the disciple who entered the house has become a big traitor who has been infamous for thousands of years, which is indeed embarrassing.
Kou Zhun had the most irritable temper and said: "Okay, okay, you're not done, I still expect to see more of the official family's divine power, suppress the Khitan and recover Dali, which of you wants to go to reincarnation quickly, and you can save space!" "Anyway, he has no sons, and he has no disciples.
